"If the Tomb of Honor is related to King Yan, it means there's a great possibility that King Yan is Lin Hai."

Long Si nodded to himself as he listened to the analysis over the phone.

"Long Si, why don't you take away the Tomb of Honor to subdue King Yan?" There was a hint of inquiry in the voice on the phone.

Long Si shook his head and replied, "Impossible, such a foolish method would only drive King Yan mad. Don't forget, King Yan is the King of Assassins. Once he goes berserk, unless a Legendary Expert arrives in time, no one will be able to stop him."

"The higher-ups want to subdue King Yan if at all possible. To achieve the goal, we can exhaust all means, that Tomb of Honor..."

"Stop it, Tianlong, your method is extremely inhumane. Ask yourself, if King Yan really is Lin Hai, would he sit by while you destroy the Tomb of Honor of his most beloved woman? Don't forget, according to our investigation, King Yan possesses weapons of mass destruction capable of obliterating the entire Huadu once he falls into a state of madness."

Deep down, Long Si truly wanted to curse out his direct superior. Although this superior was powerful and on the brink of reaching Legendary status, he was somewhat despicable. To please those above him, he was willing to resort to any means.

"Hmph, Long Si, in a nutshell, I hope you don't screw this up!" The voice on the phone turned icy.

"King Yan is coming soon, I need to hang up now." After finishing his words, Long Si immediately hung up the phone and rubbed his temples.

According to the intelligence, King Yan had tremendous latent power and was surrounded by a group of Experts who stood out in the international community. Such a person could only be recruited—if recruitment failed, one definitely could not afford to antagonize him.

"Superiors, huh, aren't there rotten apples among the superiors? They're all freaking reckless for the sake of credit."

Long Si vented in a mutter, took a deep breath, and prepared to adjust his state of mind, feeling somewhat nervous deep down about facing King Yan.

"Hehe, Yanhuang Soul Long Si? I didn't expect you to be at the level of the Supreme Strong as well."

A cold, unfeeling voice devoid of human emotion came from behind Long Si.

Long Si suddenly turned around, horrified to find a man dressed in a black trench coat, wearing an ancient bronze mask, about one meter ninety-six in height, with bulging muscles showcasing the beauty of his strength, staring at him with cold and merciless eyes.

"King Yan!" Shock filled Long Si's heart. How had King Yan approached him undetected? Why had he not sensed him at all earlier? Just this hidden skill alone was enough to make him feel like he was facing a great adversary, full of dread.

"Hehe, I heard what you were just talking about, Long Si. I didn't expect that Yanhuang Soul, which is seen by outsiders as being all-powerful and protecting Huaxia, would also engage in despicable and filthy tricks," Lin Hai didn't hold back his sarcasm.

"King Yan, listen to me, it's not what you think," Long Si said nervously.

"Really? Do you think I would believe that?" The cold and hoarse voice, filled with a strong killing intent, made Long Si's face change drastically.

"King Yan, I came here to clarify a matter, not to plot against your beloved woman's Tomb of Honor," Long Si hurriedly explained.

There was no choice; the killing intent emanating from King Yan was too intense. Although both were Supreme Strong, Long Si had reservations in his heart. If a battle were to break out, he had to ensure that the civilians of Huadu were not affected. But King Yan need not worry about these considerations; he could madly kill without restraint, even slaughtering ordinary people.

"Long Si, you seem very nervous?" Lin Hai asked indifferently.

Long Si nodded, not hiding his feelings and said straightforwardly, "I am indeed nervous. If I enrage you, please consider that the Huaxia residents are innocent, and do not kill indiscriminately. If there's any issue, just come at me."

"You fear that after I go mad, I will slaughter the ordinary people?" Lin Hai asked.

Long Si nodded forcefully: "Yes, I fear these things. Maybe against other criminals, I wouldn't admit it, but you are King Yan, the King of Assassins. I have no confidence that you won't act recklessly. According to my investigation, you always carry highly powerful explosive weapons, which was fully demonstrated during your fight with Shiva."

"It seems you've done a thorough investigation on me," Lin Hai narrowed his eyes. At this point in the probing, he could judge that Long Si wasn't entirely certain he was Lin Hai, which would make things easier moving forward.

"King Yan, you are too powerful. Your presence in urban society is like an extremely dangerous time bomb; we had no choice but to investigate you deeply. Yet you've concealed yourself so well that even now, I'm not completely sure who you really are."

"Heh, Long Si, go back and tell Yanhuang Soul not to bother me, otherwise, I don't mind taking some crazy actions," Lin Hai coldly replied.

Long Si furrowed his brow, reprimanding loudly: "King Yan, I warn you, if you dare to harm the ordinary citizens of Huadu, I will never let you off."

"Never let me off? Heh, Long Si, who do you think you are? Do you think I need your forgiveness?" Lin Hai sneered dismissively with overbearing confidence.

"King Yan, don't push me. I don't want to become your enemy," Long Si said angrily.

"Become my enemy? Heh, Long Si, have you ever considered me as a friend? Ridiculous!" Lin Hai mocked.

"King Yan, Yanhuang Soul has no hostility towards you; we want to try our best to form an alliance with you."

"An alliance with me? In my eyes, Yanhuang Soul is nothing but a bunch of fools. Fools fit to ally with me?" Lin Hai retorted coolly.

Unable to suppress his anger, Long Si was outraged. He'd swallowed his pride, lowered his stature and dignity, only to be met with relentless mockery from the other side.

"Enough, King Yan. If you say Yanhuang Soul is nothing but fools, then let this fool see just how strong you really are."

As Long Si finished speaking, he swept out a kick, strong and forceful.

Lin Hai countered with his own leg technique.

With a thud,

the two fell from mid-air.

Long Si staggered backward for five steps before he could barely steady himself. When he looked at Lin Hai, his eyes were filled with shock—King Yan hadn't moved an inch.

"Is this all the strength you have?" Lin Hai asked coldly.

"Again!"

Long Si roared, his punch swift and fierce as he unleashed the full power of a Supreme Expert, shaking the very ground beneath his feet.

"Good!"

Lin Hai laughed wildly as he met the oncoming fists straight on. The two's Gang Qi surged, and their black trench coats rustled and whistled in the wind.

Puff—

The moment his fist made contact with King Yan's, Long Si felt as if he had punched a slab of iron. The opposing force bent his arms involuntarily and sent him flying backwards with its immense power.

"So strong!" Long Si tumbled on the ground in a sorry state, his mind overwhelmed with shock. Even among the Supreme, King Yan was terrifying.

Just as he was preparing to get up, he suddenly noticed a blinding glint of cold light reflected from the sun, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart.
