Chapter 1606: Mixue Ice-Cream And Tea’s Sweetness Tea

(TN: The title comes from the name of a famous Chinese bubble tea brand, Mixue Ice-cream and Tea)

Mixue Planet was located in the Milky Star Zone. It was a planet covered in snow all year round, and it produced ice honey.

The plants here were extraordinarily resistant to cold, and most of them could bloom even at -80 degrees Celsius.

On this planet lived a very special species of bee—the Ice Bee—that had unique ice crystal scales on its body. They were impervious to cold weather of even -200 degrees Celsius, and the honey they made was remarkably delicious.

The weather and this specialty product were what gave the planet its name.

The most bustling city on Mixue Planet was Ice City.

Currently, Lin Huang was at one of the bubble tea shops there. While patiently waiting for his target to appear, he sipped on an iced tea called Sweetness Tea.

He had accepted twenty-six missions from Death Sickle all in one go and had also marked out all the mission targets’ coordinates one by one. He had then planned out his route based on how easily accessible the location was, from the easiest to the hardest.

Milky Star Zone was less than thirty thousand light-years away from the Devil Hunter Star Zone. A dimensional portal would take him straight there.

Therefore, the target on Mixue Planet naturally became the first on Lin Huang’s list.

This round, his target was Este, the governor of Ice City, who was also the master of the entire Milky Star Zone domain.

His main cultivation path was ice elemental truth. In terms of abilities, he was ranked No. 97 on the God Territory’s Heavenly God Leaderboard and could be considered a powerhouse.

He had a particular obsession for freezing living people into ice sculptures which he then displayed in his showroom. In his ice sculpture collection, there were not only Protoss and humans but also beings from many other tribes. He had over a thousand of these sculptures.

As a result, he took great pride in his collection and had designated himself an “ice sculpture artist”.

Lin Huang wrapped himself in a heavy trench coat, not because he was cold, but because everyone else was wearing thick clothes.

He sipped on his iced tea, waiting patiently for Este to show up.

According to the information he had received, Este would come to this shop to get iced tea every morning.

Halfway through his drink, Lin Huang slowly glanced up and saw his mission target gradually coming closer. A faint smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth.

A red gleam suddenly flared at the opening of his sleeve.

The next instant, the ice-blue bearded Este suddenly stopped in his tracks and toppled to the ground immediately after.

Nobody noticed that the storage ring on Este’s finger had quietly disappeared without a trace, along with the God Territory in his body.

At the same time, Lin Huang had also vanished into thin air.

The powerhouse who was ranked No. 97 on the Heavenly God Leaderboard was disposed of within seconds, just like that.

In all honesty, Lin Huang would have certainly found it difficult to kill Este in a direct confrontation.

However, he had used a telekinetic flying dagger to launch a stealth attack. At such close proximity, given the flying dagger’s speed, Este had been unable to dodge at all.

Furthermore, Lin Huang had compounded this telekinetic flying dagger—a top-grade god sequence relic—with eighteen levels of sequence power and Sword Dao heavenly rule.

Even if it had been Buried Heaven or King Kong, they might not have had time to react either if they encountered a stealth attack like this from such close proximity.

After taking care of the first target, Lin Huang immediately withdrew and left without any hesitation.

“Second target, Gu Ming…”

After killing his first target, Lin Huang had no plans to rest. He immediately headed to the location of his second target and began his second hunt…

On the first day after accepting the missions, he successfully killed seventeen targets within a short twenty-four hours.

Each target was killed by a single telekinetic flying dagger strike. Lin Huang did not have to use a second telekinetic flying dagger on any of them.

He killed seventeen ninth-rank Heavenly Gods within a day; thirteen of them were also in the top one hundred rankings on the Heavenly God Leaderboard. Lin Huang killed all of them within seconds!

This made all the major organizations panic.

Many grade-5 and even grade-6 organizations felt as if they were confronting a mortal enemy and were afraid that their organizations would be targeted. After all, ninth-rank Heavenly Gods possessed the highest combat strength within their organizations. Losing these Heavenly Gods would be a crippling blow.

All the major organizations were speculating as to who this assassin might be.

Naturally, the news spread to Death Sickle as well. Very soon, the members in Death Sickle discovered that someone had accepted many difficult missions on the missions list. Furthermore, the seventeen people who had died were all targets of these particular missions. The missions had yet to be submitted, though, so they had no idea who exactly might be behind them.

However, many people in Death Sickle’s inner circle suspected that Buried Heaven was responsible.

This was because thirteen of the targets were in the top one hundred ranks on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, and they had been killed almost instantly. As far as everyone knew, out of all Death Sickle’s Gold Sickles, Buried Heaven was the only one who could pull this off.

After a busy first day, Lin Huang did not slow down on the second day either.

He rapidly disposed of his eighteenth, nineteenth, and other subsequent targets.

By dawn of the third day, Lin Huang had completed twenty-four missions.

Only two targets remained—Shen Jue and Shen Yu.

The twins’ territory was located within the core zone of the God Territory—a fiefdom that God Capital had allocated to them.

This was also the most difficult thing about the mission.

God Capital’s headquarters was guarded by a Lord. Not only that, there were several half-step Lords who were stationed across God Capital’s various territories.

Shen Jue and Shen Yu’s fiefdom was not far from the territory of one of God Capital’s half-step Lords.

Therefore, the greatest difficulty in killing the pair lay not in their inherently powerful abilities but in the fact that Lin Huang had to dispatch them swiftly and then escape from God Capital’s territory.

Based on the information provided by Death Sickle, Lin Huang had to kill both Shen Jue and Shen Yu within three seconds and then teleport out in order to successfully complete this mission.

If not, the half-step Lord from the next territory would hasten to the scene.

Furthermore, once the half-step Lord had sprung into action, the Lord who was guarding God Capital would send his consciousness over right away.

In other words, even if the half-step Lord powerhouse were the one making a move, Lin Huang would die on the spot if he were unable to escape in time.

‘I only have one chance to attack. Whether I manage to kill them or not, I have to leave immediately.’ Upon entering Gemini, Lin Huang had gone into complete seclusion and was now cracking his head over how to complete this mission.

He was also aware that his two-day killing spree had alerted the various major organizations, including God Capital, which was a grade-7 organization.

After all, the ones killed were all ninth-rank heavenly god-level, and most of them were well-known figures on the Heavenly God Leaderboard. Not only that, they had been instantly killed and completely unable to defend themselves.

The several grade-7 organizations were rather worried that their young potentials would be targeted.

After all, individuals who had been singled out for nurturing all had the potential to become Lords and were immensely talented.

The siblings, Shen Jue and Shen Yu, happened to be young potentials of this sort.

God Capital was a gathering ground for pure blood Protoss, and most members looked down on other tribes. Theoretically, they did not think that there was anything wrong with the twins. At most, they thought their behavior was rather cruel; no one disciplined them either.

God Capital’s upper echelons were not unaware of the things the pair had done behind their backs. They merely turned a blind eye and acted as if they saw nothing.

This was why over the years, the siblings had become increasingly unreasonable and ruthless.

However, as far as Lin Huang was concerned, the duo’s behavior was completely unforgivable.
