“Phew, is it that late already?”
Andrew looked at the time. It was 5:27. The sky had started to darken.
If he wanted to go to the wilderness to hunt demonic beasts, it was obviously not a place where he could enter on a whim.
Right now, he only had a B-grade composite metal blade.
And he only knew one Nine-layered Thunder Blade.
As for what kind of demonic beasts were in the wilderness and whether there were other hidden dangers, he knew nothing.
“In short, I’ll go back first and collect information about the wilderness on the forum.”
Most of the information in the warrior forum was free.
After all, every martial artist would enter the wilderness at some point. Sometimes, with an additional piece of information, the probability of survival would be higher. Only some secret information or martial arts techniques would be posted with a price.
However, the martial arts techniques on the forum were too basic.
To Andrew, these martial arts techniques could be read but not learned.
Half an hour later, Andrew walked downstairs.
Just as he was about to walk into the courtyard, he vaguely felt that something was amiss. He raised his head to look at the house and then stepped back.
Two men with calm expressions stood outside the apartment.
One was fat while the other was thin. Despite it being the summer, they were both dressed in black.
There was also a faint smell of blood on their bodies.
Martial artists!
And their strength was definitely not weak.
Andrew was shocked as he estimated the strength of the two men.
The thin one was almost as strong as Will, the recruitment teacher of the New York State University branch.
And the fat one gave him the same feeling as Edward.
He was at least a fighter of the fourth grade!
Ever since the energy storm yesterday, more and more fighters had come to the area.
Andrew didn’t pay too much attention to it and walked straight back to the apartment.
“Gray Wolf, are you sure that the target lives here?”
“Of course. I saw her come out of here yesterday, and I’ve confirmed that this is her brother’s house.”
“Annie, a first-year student of Boston University’s martial arts department. Peak third-grade cultivation. Both her parents are dead. Her brother’s name is Andrew. It’s said that he’s a trash with zero martial arts talent.”
The fatty named Gray Wolf recounted the information he had obtained in detail.
“Peak third-grade martial artist. What a genius.”
The seemingly skinny martial artist stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. A cold light flashed in his narrowed eyes. He sneered and said, “Killing such a genius martial artist will definitely cause quite a stir.”
“Black Wolf.”
The fat warrior, “Gray Wolf”, lowered his voice and said, “Act after dark and try to kill her in one stroke. After you succeed, immediately escape from Boston. Don’t have any other thoughts.
“That Annie is a student of Boston University. Once it’s discovered that it was the two of us who did it, it will bring about big trouble.”
“What are you afraid of?” Black Wolf said indifferently.
He was a peak third-grade martial artist and was only a step away from the fourth grade.
As long as a fourth-grade martial artist didn’t meet a sixth-grade martial artist or above, they were almost invincible.
After all, if they wanted to escape, even a fifth-grade martial artist would find it hard to catch up.
“Even if we are wanted by the Martial Arts Administration, so what?
“At most, we two brothers will go to Grandmaster Wuji.”
Gray Wolf fell silent.
Grandmaster Wuji was an anti-human seventh-grade martial artist, and he was also the employer of this operation. It was said that Annie had killed one of his disciples.
Although Grey Wolf was an assassin and relied on this to earn money, it didn’t mean that he wanted to oppose humanity.
If it really came to that…
“Alright, I’ll listen to you this time.”
Gray Wolf agreed with Black Wolf. They had too many criminal records. If the Martial Arts Administration found out, they would have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
In that case, they might as well take the risk.
“We’ll move after dark. Let’s go eat first.”
The two figures flashed and disappeared from the lawn in the yard.
…
In the apartment room.
Andrew sat in front of the computer, eating spaghetti while looking at the information about the wilderness.
He had already browsed more than half of the posts about the level, classification, and weaknesses of the beasts.
Two to three hours had passed in just one reading session.
Stretching his back, Andrew closed the posts he had read before.
The forum’s homepage, which he couldn’t access before, seemed to have opened for him.
Even his personal information had changed from a guest to a third-grade fighter.
Andrew clicked on the ‘trading page’.
Inside, there were trading posts for weapons, battle outfits, demon beast materials, and precious medicinal herbs.
As for martial arts and combat techniques, he had to add the person who posted it and have a private chat.
Andrew casually browsed through the list.
There was a C-grade battle suit on sale, but the price was too high, as high as 1.8 million.
Moreover, the style was too ugly, so Andrew didn’t fancy it.
He was about to post a “Buy battle suit” thread, but when the content was edited to the standard, the doorbell suddenly rang.
“Didn’t sister say that she would be back tomorrow?
“Has the matter with the school been settled?”
He walked out of the bedroom and was about to open the door…
But a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
The next moment, Andrew felt an intense burst of Blood Qi.
Not good!
He muttered in his heart and dodged to the side.
A “boom” shook the silent night.
The door was directly blasted open by the huge Blood qi power. Two black-clothed warriors holding composite metal daggers rushed in.
“Huh?”
“It’s not Annie?”
The moment the two warriors saw Andrew, they were stunned.
The chubby fighter, Gray Wolf, reacted quickly, “It’s Annie’s brother, Andrew!”
“I don’t care. Kill him first!”
Black Wolf held his dagger tightly and stabbed at Andrew.
Gray Wolf stopped him.
“Wait! The employer’s target is Annie. We won’t get any reward even if we kill him. Instead, we’ll alert the people from the Martial Arts Administration. How about we catch him? Annie will definitely come out then.”
Chapter 22

The duo did not hide their faces, nor did they want to conceal their identities.
After all, with their strength, the idea of failing never occurred to them.
Black Wolf thought for a moment and nodded.
According to Gray Wolf’s information, the martial arts genius Annie’s brother was just a trash.
Even if he killed him, it would be the same as killing an ordinary person.
There was no sense of accomplishment.
The two of them did not even look at Andrew from the beginning to the end.
In their opinion, a person who could not become a martial artist posed no threat to them.
Even if he were to make a move, would he be able to hurt them?
“They�
� want to kill Annie?”
Andrew’s pupils constricted.
Assassins!
Moreover, they were hired by someone.
In the blink of an eye, Andrew went through the current situation in his mind.
The scabbard was on the sofa. The two warriors in black had rushed in and could not see the scabbard.
Andrew reached out his hand and grabbed the blade. His magic power condensed and the scabbard directly shook open.
A B-grade composite metal blade was held tightly in his hand.
Black Wolf and Gray Wolf frowned. They vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Didn’t they say that he was a trash with zero martial arts talent?
Why was he holding a B-grade blade? He was richer than the two professional killers!
“Tell me who your employer is, and I might be able to let you off,” Andrew said.
These two were dead for sure today. However, in order to find out who was targeting Annie, he deliberately gave them a choice.
A choice to live.
“Huh?”
“You?”
The two took a step back and stared at Andrew.
Especially Black Wolf. He cursed and said in a low voice, “Gray Wolf, is this the information you collected? This kid is at least a third-grade martial artist. Is this a realm that can be reached by someone without any martial arts talent?”
Third-grade martial artist!
Add a B-grade composite metal blade on top.
If Annie was here, it wouldn’t be so easy for the two of them to quickly finish the battle.
But if there was only one…
Black Wolf looked at the blade in Andrew’s hand and narrowed his eyes. He said greedily, “Since your information was wrong, this blade will belong to me after the battle.”
Gray Wolf didn’t say anything. It could be considered as a silent agreement.
Andrew shook his head. It seemed that these two people had not seen the situation clearly.
Black Wolf and Gray Wolf shouted at the same time and rushed forward.
However, an unexpected scene happened.
The B-grade blade glowed with silver light and flashed with bolts of lightning.
Just as the duo was frowning, a huge Blade Qi suddenly erupted and directly chopped down at the two of them.
The ten-meter-long Lightning Blade Qi covered the entire living room.
Gray Wolf and Black Wolf, two professional killers, felt their hair stand on end. The uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger and stronger. They unleashed their peak strength together, hoping that they could block this blade.
However, everything was in vain.
The Blade Qi slashed down, and Gray Wolf was directly split into two.
He stared straight at Andrew, his eyes full of doubt. He was a peak third-grade fighter, but he was gone just like that?
Black Wolf, who had just entered the fourth-grade, barely managed to block the blade.
However, his right arm was crushed.
“You actually… mastered the Blade Qi!”
He felt his entire body go numb, and even his thoughts were somewhat sluggish.
Boom!
The entire apartment seemed to shake.
The residents living below Andrew particularly felt the shaking. The two jumped for cover, shivering.
My house!
Andrew cried out in pain in his heart.
It was fine if the door was broken by the two of them.
However, the living room was almost destroyed by him with a single slash.
It was these two dead ghosts who insisted on coming to him.
The most important thing was that they wanted to kill Annie!
Andrew’s eyes were red as he looked at Black Wolf, who was struggling to get up. His face was full of anger. “Tell me, who hired you, and where is he?”
Black Wolf’s eyes were dull as he kneeled on the floor and twitched.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his body fell forward. The man had died.
“…”
Andrew was stunned.
Playing dead?
Andrew raised his blade and aimed at Black Wolf’s thigh.
A centipede-sized wound started to bleed.
But the man still didn’t make a sound. Even his body didn’t have any reaction.
“He’s really dead?”
Andrew held the blade in his right hand and stretched his left hand to Black Wolf’s throat.
There was no pulse.
Andrew was finally sure that Black Wolf was dead. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.
“I keep feeling that something is strange.
“This assassin called Black Wolf should have the strength of a fourth-grade martial artist and that Gray Wolf should be at the peak of the third grade. However, even with their combined strength, they weren’t able to block my blade.”
Andrew suddenly thought of Chief Charles.
He couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect.
“As expected of the chief of the Boston Martial Arts Administration, a Grandmaster of the seventh grade. Despite suppressing his strength to the third grade, he was able to easily deal with my attack.”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, Host. You have killed a martial artist of the third grade. Reward: +100 strengthening points.”
“Congratulations, Host. You have killed a martial artist of the fourth grade. Reward: +300 strengthening points.”
The sound of two consecutive system notifications rang out in his mind.
Andrew’s eyes lit up.
The strengthening points obtained from killing martial artists of one level higher were almost ten times more than those obtained from defeating martial artists of the same level!
If he were to kill a large number of martial artists…
Andrew was shocked by the sudden thought.
Black Wolf and Gray Wolf were both extremely vicious killers. Although he had acted against them for the sake of Annie, he could be considered to have eliminated evil for the people.
Even if I want to get more points, I can only kill those who deserve it.
He said silently in his heart.
Chapter 23 - Someone From The Martial Arts Administration!

Andrew picked up the two alloy daggers on the ground.
One was C-grade while the other was B-grade. Although they were not as valuable as his own blade, they were still worth 700,000 to 800,000 dollars on the forum.
Andrew’s mood slightly improved.
Just the two daggers were enough for him to change to a new apartment.
He also found a few thousand in cash, two cell phones, and two bank cards from the assassins.
The bank cards were brand new, and there was a note on the back with a string of numbers. It should be the bank card’s password.
This should be the deposit paid by their employer.
Andrew put the two bank cards in his pocket.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 200 strengthening points.”
Andrew’s eyes moved.
In other words, the deposit in the two bank cards was about 2 million?
It seemed that their employer was quite wealthy.
Just as Andrew was tidying up the living room, the nearby police officers rushed in. After seeing the tragic scene, they frowned and looked at the only living person at the scene, Andrew.
“Please put your hands where we can see them, sir.”
“These two are professional killers. You’d better let the people from the Martial Arts Administration take charge of them. I’m not sure if they have any other companions.”
The police officers on duty looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Judging from the scene, only martial artists could cause such extensive damage.
The police really couldn’t c
are less about matters involving martial artists.
Soon, the people from the Martial Arts Administration arrived on the scene.
There were four people in total, and one of them was Edward, whom Andrew had just met today.
“Andrew, are you okay?”
Edward had an anxious look on his face. After hearing about the situation, the first thing he thought of was Andrew, who lived here.
Some anti-human organizations liked to pick on geniuses who had yet to grow up.
He was afraid that Andrew had also encountered this kind of potential danger.
However, Andrew’s face was calm. “Fortunately, these two people should be martial artists who have not received formal teaching. Despite having their high grades in martial arts, they could not display the corresponding strength. They were killed by me with one slash.”
He thought for a moment and added, “Their target seems to be my sister, Annie. Judging from their conversation, they should be employed by someone. I wanted to keep one alive so that he could tell me about their employer. Unfortunately, they could not even withstand one strike.”
Edward’s originally worried mood instantly became worse. He really wanted these two assassins to teach this brat a lesson.
However, these words could only remain in his heart.
“Andrew, don’t worry. Our Martial Arts Administration will definitely do our best to investigate this matter.”
As he said this, he smiled again. “However, these two assassins didn’t investigate your sister’s strength? With this level of skill, they still dare to find trouble with your sister?”
Annie.
The peak of the third stage.
This was something that everyone in the Martial Arts Administration knew.
After all, she was a famous genius in Boston.
And these two assassins, who were killed by Andrew with one slash, were obviously not experts.
They were probably only at the first or second grade.
“Captain Edward.”
At this time, a staff member of the Martial Arts Administration walked over with a solemn expression and said in a low voice, “The identities of the two dead people have been investigated. They are both professional assassins, codenamed Black Wolf and Gray Wolf.
