Hunter Liu grew up without parents. For the past eighteen years, the over three hundred villagers of Liusong Village had cared for him, and in his heart, they were his family. Hunter Liu would never allow anyone to harm even a single person among them.
This time, with the Skull Gang planning to destroy Liusong Village, Hunter Liu's dormant killer instincts, which had been asleep for eighteen years, were fully awakened.
"Brother Hunter, are you planning to go to the Tianlang Gang? Stop hiding it from me. Although we've been together for eighteen years, I still don't know you as well as I should. But there's one thing I'm certain of: for the sake of the villagers, you will do anything, no matter the cost," Liu Huihui said, closely following Hunter Liu. His voice was heavy as he looked at his friend's expression.
Hunter Liu was surprised that Liu Huihui had guessed his intentions so directly. He felt a sense of surprise, but his tone remained indifferent. "Since the Tianlang Gang is intent on harming Liusong Village, then there is no need for them to continue existing."
In his indifferent tone, there was an overwhelming confidence, as if he could control the fate and life or death of any great power with a mere flick of his hand.
"Brother Hunter, don't be impulsive! I've heard that the leader of the Tianlang Gang has reached the second level of the Tongmai realm. Even the old village chief might not be his match. And your cultivation is only at the eighth level of the Body Tempering realm. Anyone from the Tianlang Gang could easily outmatch you."
When Liu Huihui heard that Hunter Liu was planning to take on the Tianlang Gang alone, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. His heart raced, and his voice was filled with urgency and panic. He nearly reached out to grab Hunter Liu and stop him from going to the Tianlang Gang.
In fact, Hunter Liu's eighth-level Body Tempering cultivation was already impressive in Liusong Village. Among the younger generation in the village under twenty years old, even many adults were below his level.
However, as strong as Hunter Liu was, compared to the Tianlang Gang, which had over a hundred martial artists above the eighth level of Body Tempering and three at the Tongmai realm, the gap was vast.
On the continent of Huaxing, there are four primary cultivation stages: Body Tempering, Tongmai, Nascent Star, and Void Pill, each divided into ten levels.
The Body Tempering stage refines the body and enhances strength. When the body reaches its peak, it can absorb the power of the stars from the heavens and enter the Tongmai stage. The Tongmai stage involves using the star power from the heavens to open the body's twelve meridians and eight extraordinary vessels. Each meridian opened significantly boosts one's strength.
Once all meridians are opened, one can form a personal world within their body using the star power, becoming incredibly powerful. In the Star Tower Empire, warriors with Nascent Star cultivation are considered regional powerhouses.
As for the Void Pill realm, even on the continent of Huaxing, it is considered the true realm of strength. A single warrior of this level could easily destroy the Star Tower Empire.
Hunter Liu paused for a moment, his sharp eyes glinting with an unparalleled sharpness, like stars that seemed ready to illuminate the entire world. "If I decide that they should no longer exist, then I will personally destroy them."
The words, spoken in a casual tone, carried immense confidence and dominance. Yet, for Liu Huihui, they sent a chill through his spine, filling him with dread, as if he had fallen into an icy pit.
Because what he sensed most in Hunter Liu's words was not the confidence or dominance, but the overwhelming killing intent.
A killing intent that could only belong to the god of death.
...
In his past life, Hunter Liu was the leader of the Earth Federation's top assassination organization. He was known as "Star Chaser" in the world of assassins, a title given to him because he was said to be undefeated, with no one he couldn't kill.
