Getting Killed

Although Tai Wu could be considered as a high-ranking official in the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in the Nine Sect Alliances' district, he was still an assassin after all.

All Mountainshade Black Market's assassins had sworn on the lightning penalty oath that they would not reveal their identities.

"I have no enmity with you so why do you want to kill me?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed as he asked in a deep voice when he heard Tai Wu's words.

"You and I have no enmity with each other. However, it's unfortunate that a man's wealth can be the cause of his own ruin due to others' greed. I've taken a liking to the sword in your hand!" Tai Wu smiled sinisterly. A hint of greed could be seen in his eyes.

"Sword?" When Duan Ling Tian heard Tai Wu's words, he was puzzled. However, he soon regained his senses and realized he was referring to his Jasper Celestial Sword.
