One certain night.

Ye Yang was engrossed in his cultivation when he felt a presence entering the vicinity of his room.

He pretended to be deeply immersed in his cultivation process while he waited for the intruder to reveal themselves.

He feigned deeper concentration, his mind alert, every sense heightened.

The intruder, incredibly skilled, had bypassed the level 5 concealment array surrounding his room with an almost effortless grace.

Ye Yang was no stranger to danger, but this presence… it radiated an aura of death, cold and calculating.

The shadow materialized within the room, its form indistinct, like smoke coalescing into a menacing figure.

The assassin, known as Killer Dragon, moved with the grace of a panther, his eyes, like twin embers, scanning the room, lingering on Ye Yang.

For several long moments, Killer Dragon observed the young man.

Ye Yang, outwardly calm, inwardly braced himself. He sensed an unsettling power emanating from the assassin, a power that hinted at years of honed killing.

Yet, despite his careful scrutiny, Killer Dragon found nothing extraordinary about Ye Yang. Disappointment flickered in his eyes.

"Hm," Killer Dragon muttered, a low chuckle escaping his lips. "Just a… fledgling. No wonder they underestimated him."

Ye Yang, startled by the chuckle, abruptly "woke" from his deep cultivation, his eyes snapping open.

"He looked at the figure, his gaze steady, but his voice trembled slightly. 'Who are you?' he demanded, 'And how did you get in here?' Fear flickered in his eyes."

Killer Dragon, amused by the fear in young man's eyes, leaned forward, his voice a low growl. "You don't recognize me? That's unfortunate. It would have made this… more interesting."

Ye Yang felt a shiver crawl down his spine. There was something chillingly methodical about this assassin. "who…are you?" he repeated, his voice laced with suspicion.

Killer Dragon chuckled, a chilling sound that echoed through the small room. "Don't worry," he said, his voice dripping with icy amusement, "I'll give you a brief introduction. I usually enjoy a good conversation before I… eliminate my targets. It adds a certain… flair."

Ye Yang's eyes narrowed. "Eliminate?"

Killer Dragon leaned closer; his eyes gleaming in the darkness. "That's right. Eliminate. It's my profession. I find, you see, that a brief conversation, a clear understanding of why they are about to die, makes the act of killing… more… satisfying."

He paused, savouring the young man's growing unease. "And then, of course, I tell them my name. It's a… courtesy, you see. A small token of respect for the… vanquished."

Killer Dragon paused, a predatory glint in his eyes. "My name is… Killer Dragon."

Ye Yang felt a surge of adrenaline. Killer Dragon. The name sent a shiver down his spine.

He had heard whispers about this infamous assassin, a legend in the underworld. A creature of the night, a shadow in the shadows, known for his ruthlessness and his unwavering commitment to his craft.

"You… you were hired by the Li family?" Ye Yang asked, his voice barely a whisper.

Killer Dragon chuckled. "Indeed. They seem quite… determined to see you dead."

Ye Yang felt a surge of anger. The Li family. They were relentless. He had underestimated them. He had underestimated the lengths they would go to for revenge.

"You won't succeed," Ye Yang declared, his voice hardening. "I won't let you."

Killer Dragon laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "We shall see, young man. We shall see."

With a fluid motion, he vanished into the shadows, leaving Ye Yang alone in the chilling silence, the weight of impending doom heavy in the air.

Ye Yang frantically searched the room, but couldn't find a trace of Killer Dragon, nor any lingering presence. He immediately rushed to see the Chief Alchemist.

Ye Yang burst into the Chief Alchemist's office. The Chief Alchemist, startled by the sudden intrusion, looked up from the scroll he was studying, his brow furrowed in concern.

"Ye Yang, what on earth has happened?" he asked, his voice calm but laced with concern.

Ye Yang took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. "Chief Alchemist," he began with calmed voice, "there was… an intruder in my room."

The Chief Alchemist's eyes widened. "An intruder? How did they get past the array?"

Ye Yang shook his head, still confused by the encounter. "I don't know. It was… incredible. He just… appeared. Like a shadow."

The Chief Alchemist spoke in disbelief, "How is that possible? We had an intruder within the walls of the Alchemy Tower?"

The Chief Alchemist leaned forward; his gaze intense. "Describe him, Ye Yang. Every detail."

Ye Yang recounted the entire incident, from the chilling presence he sensed to the sudden appearance of the figure, the unsettling aura that emanated from him, and the chilling conversation that followed. He described Killer Dragon's voice, his eyes, the way he moved with an almost supernatural grace.

The Chief Alchemist listened intently, his expression growing grave with each passing word. When Ye Yang finished, a long silence followed.

"Killer Dragon," the Chief Alchemist finally murmured, a thoughtful expression on his face. "If he came and introduced himself before killing you, then he is definitely the infamous assassin, Killer Dragon."

The name struck a chord in Ye Yang's memory. He had heard whispers about Killer Dragon in his previous life, a legendary assassin known for his ruthlessness and his unique modus operandi – a brief conversation before the kill, a macabre game of cat and mouse.

But in this life, the legendary Killer Dragon had become a terrifying reality, a tangible threat looming over him.

"He… he said he was hired by the Li family," Ye Yang said, his voice stern, a chilling resolve hardening his gaze. "This will not stand."

The Chief Alchemist's eyes narrowed. "The Li family… they are desperate. This is a dangerous game they are playing."

He paused, his gaze fixed on Ye Yang. "Ye Yang, you must be vigilant. Killer Dragon is a formidable opponent. He is patient, cunning, and incredibly skilled. He will toy with his prey before killing them."

Ye Yang nodded, a grim determination hardening his features. "I will not let him get to me, Chief Alchemist. I will not let him get away again," he declared, "and if he came for my life, he will pay the ultimate price."

The Chief Alchemist placed a hand on Ye Yang's shoulder. "You must. The Alchemy Tower will support you in any way we can. Right now, we should increase the level of security around your quarters."
