Chapter 156 Selling Yourself to Kill

The killer was startled when he heard the sound.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force surged from his back, knocking him flying.

"Chance!"

Although he was hit by a palm from behind, the person who hit him had limited internal strength after all.

Immediately, the internal energy in his body turned and he flew out.

The man's swordsmanship is extremely fast. I'm already injured today and it's not suitable for me to fight again.

After the killer landed, he joined the crowd and disappeared after a few turns.

Chu Qing smiled slightly and looked back at Liu Yulai, who was gradually becoming embarrassed.

"You can't die at this time."

The next moment, his body shook, the sword tip turned, and with several swishes of the sword, several bandits from the seven Lianshan villages who were trying to stop the Iron Blood Hall masters died under Chu Qing's sword.

He didn't bother to check the origins of Chu Qing, the masked man who suddenly appeared.

Several people rushed forward to help Liu Yulai.

With this help, the seven leaders could no longer be Liu Yulai's opponents, and the situation of victory and defeat was instantly reversed.

When they had killed or captured the seven leaders and everything was settled, Liu Yu went to look for Chu Qing again, but there was no trace of Chu Qing.

……

……

The killer dressed in the uniform of the Iron Blood Hall mixed in the crowd, and finally broke out of the battle group, then ran away all the way.

“Who the hell is he?

"From what he said, it seems like he has some grudge against me, Nie Jingtai?
"How dare you ruin my mirror stand... you are really courting death..."

I kept thinking about it in my mind, but I couldn't find the answer.

He stared at the wound on his arm, frowning... The injury was not too serious, but the opponent's swordsmanship was too fast.

He didn't even notice how the sword was launched.

"Luckily, he wanted to kill me with one blow, but he underestimated my inner strength. Otherwise... I'm afraid it would be really dangerous this time."

I walked carefully and paid attention to my surroundings. After walking for about an hour, a roadside mountain temple appeared in front of me.

Without any hesitation, he walked straight into the mountain temple.

There was someone in the temple, a beggar.

The beggar was drinking, and in front of him were some snacks such as peanuts, cooked meat, and chicken legs on the oil paper bag.

Looking up at the person who came, he was not panicked, but just frowned:

"Why are you in such a mess? Qingyang Hand... you're not good at swordsmanship, right? How did you get the wound on your arm?"

"...an accident happened, Liu Yulai is not dead."

The killer fell down and sat down opposite the beggar, snatched the wine from his hand, and fell down facing the wound on his arm, grimacing in pain.

The beggar's face changed and he walked out of the temple directly.

After walking around the mountain temple, I came back.

Then I heard the killer speak calmly:
“No one is following.”

"it is good."

The beggar nodded, walked up to him, grabbed his arm, looked at him carefully for a while, and his face became increasingly gloomy.

The killer looked up at him:
"What's so special about this injury?"

"Does this person's swordsmanship have any special features?"

"……quick."

The killer thought for a moment and said:
“Very fast!”

Look at the expression on the beggar's face:
"what happened?"

"There is one thing you don't know..."

The beggar said:

"A few months ago, a traitor walked out of our Niejingtai.

"This person is codenamed 'Sword Ghost'. He colluded with the target and betrayed the Niejingtai.

"Someone in the organization had already noticed this, and after confirming that he had really betrayed them, they immediately sent someone to ambush him and try to eliminate him.

“But I didn’t expect that… this person, whose sword skills and martial arts were all mediocre, actually had a hidden skill of swordsmanship.

"The Blood Spear that was sent to kill him was nailed to a tree by him, and most of the remaining assassins were killed with a single sword...

“You should know that different sword techniques have different effects on the wound.

"And the wound on your arm is exactly the same as those of the people who died at the hands of the Sword Demon."

"No wonder……"

The killer narrowed his eyes slightly:
"No wonder he said that with him around, the Evil Mirror Platform will never succeed."

"Audacity!"

The beggar sneered:

“After this incident, the organization issued a pursuit order.

“Unexpectedly, this person suddenly disappeared from the martial arts world… None of the assassins sent to hunt him down could find any trace of him.

“I heard that there is a Night Emperor in Tianwu City, who is also good at using a fast sword.

“However, this person is so cruel and merciless that he often destroys the bodies of those he kills.

"The body was burned by the fire... Although it is impossible to burn it to ashes, the skin was burned and the sword marks could not be distinguished at all."

"So, this Night Emperor is very suspicious."

The killer said:
"No one from the organization went to investigate?"

"checked."

The beggar shook his head and said:
“But in addition to his swift swordsmanship, the Night Emperor also has extremely profound internal strength, which is far beyond the reach of the Sword Ghost.

"Further investigation revealed that this person also has a unique skill of flying knives...which is something that Sword Ghost cannot possess.

“Moreover, by this time, they discovered that Ye Di had someone behind him. The people sent by the Evil Mirror Platform to investigate were all killed without telling anyone, and a message was sent back to warn them.

"This person is very different from Sword Ghost. The organization does not want to provoke the person behind the Night Emperor, so the matter ends here."

The killer nodded upon hearing this:

“The internal strength of the person who took action today was indeed mediocre.

"But who is behind this Night Emperor?"

"do not know."

The beggar said calmly:
“Perhaps someone above knows, but it’s not something you and I can find out.

"The Sword Ghost disappeared for several months and has reappeared now. I think he has recovered from his injuries and wants to declare war on my Evil Mirror Platform. He really doesn't know how to live or die.

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore, including Liu Yu's assassination. You can put it aside. I will coordinate and someone will take care of it...

"You can go now."

"it is good."

The killer nodded slightly and took a chicken leg from the oil paper bag:
"I just got injured, so I borrowed it to mend my wounds."

"...You even robbed beggars' chicken legs. If you are a killer like this, you should change your career."

The beggar rolled his eyes and waved his hand to drive the killer away. Seeing this, the killer laughed, jumped out of the ruined temple, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The beggar who stayed there sat there and thought for a while, then packed up the snacks on the ground and stuffed them into his arms.

Carrying the wine gourd, he left the mountain god temple and headed straight for Dingxing City.

Until the beggar disappeared.

Wenrou and Chu Qing had just walked out of the darkness, and Chu Qing was dragging a corpse in his hand.

The body of the killer just now.

Wenrou looked at the corpse in Chu Qing's hand:
"Internal strength is average?"

Chu Qing smiled:
"The bait can't be too strong, otherwise the fish won't dare to take the bait."

He paused and looked at Wenrou:

"Nothing else you want to ask?" For example, the Sword Ghost, or the Mirror of Evil...

Wenrou shook her head:

"I don't want to ask."

This is the most likable thing about gentleness. She never fails to do what she should do, and never asks about things that she shouldn't ask about.

Chu Qing didn't want to talk about the past, but still gave an explanation:
“I have some grudges with Niejingtai, and the main dangers that you and I will encounter on this journey will all come from this.

“The titles of Night Emperor and Third Young Master will not be used for the time being.

"We have some free time now, so we can disguise ourselves and see where the beggar has gone."

"it is good."

Nodding gently, then a little embarrassed:
"But I won't..."

"give it to me."

Chu Qing had already prepared all the necessary things in his bag. He spread out the bag, took out the things, and applied them on Wenrou's face.

Wenrou felt that this state was a bit strange. Looking at Chu Qing who was so close and focused on her, her breathing seemed to become a little strange...

I simply closed my eyes and stopped looking.

Chu Qing didn't care and began to review today's events in his mind. He felt that there were no major problems with the overall process.

Mainly because this incident happened too suddenly today...

Chu Qing originally planned to go to Dingxing City first to investigate Liu Yulai and find out what was going on with this person.

In this world, unless you are a madman, no one will kill another person for no reason...

There has to be some grudges.

Human life is at stake, and some things cannot be decided lightly.

Chu Qing thought to himself, if Liu Yulai really deserved to die, then he could use him to lure out the Evil Mirror Stage. Although this would destroy the assassination plan, the worst that could happen was that he would kill Liu Yulai himself after it was over.

On the contrary, if Liu Yulai should not die, it would be a warning to him so that he would not be deceived by others and remain ignorant.

However, they did not expect that before they had time to do these things, they encountered the Seven Villages of Lianshan, who wanted to attack Dingxing City.

Because he was blocked by the two sisters from Bodhi Temple, Liu Yulai led his men to attack.

The assassin from Niejingtai took advantage of the situation... If I were not here today, Liu Yulai would definitely die.

In this situation, we can only save people first.

We will investigate what happened next after we arrive in Dingxing City.

As for dealing with the assassin today... Chu Qing is not only capable of hurting people.

With the help of the Evil Mirror, it is not difficult to identify the murderer from the wound...

The reason why he showed mercy was because Chu Qing was not someone who could calculate.

It is not certain whether the person today is the killer of Nie Jingtai, or the client who cannot wait for the killer and wants to do it himself.

As the whole matter was unclear, Chu Qing simply injured rather than killed.

Afterwards, he followed this person by smelling his gentle natural fragrance and came to the mountain temple, only then was his identity completely confirmed.

Not only that, but we also got some unexpected information.

"The Night Emperor has a backer behind him..."

Chu Qing was thinking about this matter while changing Wenrou's appearance.

From the beggar's words, we learned that Nie Jingtai had conducted a very detailed investigation on Ye Di and knew that Ye Di had a unique skill in flying knives.

In Tianwu City, Chu Qing killed Chu Yan with a flying knife.

But that matter should have been covered up by Wu Ganqi, so the people in Tianwu City only knew that Ye Di had superb swordsmanship, but they didn't know that he also had a flying knife technique.

Knowing about the flying knife... means they have been investigating Chu Qing all the way to Divine Sword City.

Things came to an abrupt end here.

If there was any unexpected incident in this process, it was probably the shepherd boy who was rescued by accident.

"She once told two of her subordinates that she would send someone to protect me...

“That night, I dressed up as the Night Emperor to deal with Qi Guan and rescued the shepherd boy.

"Could it be that this matter is really related to her? What is the origin of this girl?"

First, there was a father who was able to catch You Zong and wanted to break his legs.

It can also make the Niejingtai retreat and not dare to investigate the details of the 'Yedi'...

Chu Qing thought that the origin of this shepherd boy might be more terrifying than he had imagined.

A 'father' who can do this must be on the same level as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such extraordinary abilities.

"But among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there is indeed no one with the surname Mu... Could it be that he took his mother's surname?"

Chu Qing shook his head, the thought went around in his mind, and he stopped thinking about it.

This girl is so mysterious. We are not sure if we will have the chance to see her again in the future. Why bother to delve into it?

Thinking in his heart, his hands did not stop. After a moment, Chu Qing took out a small bronze mirror and handed it to Wen Rou:
"what do you think?"

Wenrou took the mirror and took a look at it. She saw the reflection of a young man with two small mustaches on his lips.

There was a clear indifference in his eyes, and I don't know what method Chu Qing used to shape his face, but it actually looked tough.

He looks like a sturdy young man.

Wenrou looked at herself in the bronze mirror with curiosity:

"That's great, Third Brother. How did you do that? Can I learn from you?"

"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time later."

Chu Qing agreed with a smile, and then started to fiddle with it in front of the bronze mirror.

Because of the Mingyu Sutra, Chu Qing's complexion is now too pale and needs to be darkened. His face shape has some of the foundation of a pretty boy, and he looks like a young man who is ignorant of the world.

Therefore, he also emphasized the shape of his face, made the lines more tough, and finally added a big beard.

After finishing the details, Wenrou and I leaned against each other and looked at each other in the bronze mirror, both of us were very satisfied.

They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"I heard that Han is a common surname in Lingbei. From now on, I will be called Han San."

"Then my name is Han Si."

A gentle fist hug:

"Third brother."

"Fourth brother!"

Then both of them thought of Wen Pingce at the same time, and felt helpless.

After disguising this new identity, the two of them could act conveniently. Otherwise, the Third Master of Mad Blade would be the focus wherever he went after leaving Luochen Villa, making it impossible to investigate him secretly.

At this point, the two men packed up their things and dealt with the body. Wenrou then smelled the beggar's scent and followed the smell to find him.

As a result, they entered Dingxing City not long after.

Wenrou led Chu Qing around and finally stood at the back door of a large courtyard.

They didn't stop here, just passed by.

"The person is in that compound and has not left Dingxing City."

Wenrou whispered to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing took a look at the plaque in the courtyard and saw that it was hanging high with two big characters written on it: Zhou Mansion!

After careful consideration, Chu Qing couldn't remember any expert named Zhou in Dingxing City.

But just looking at the yard, it is obvious that this is a wealthy family.

While I was thinking, a gentle voice came from my ear again:

"Third brother, what should we do next?"

Chu Qing glanced at her and found that deep in her clear eyes, there was a hint of excitement.

I couldn't help but laugh. The little girl grew up in Taiyi Gate and seldom went down the mountain to move around. Now she was obviously interested.

Then he said:
"First find a place to stay, rest up, and then make plans."

Just when I was planning to find an inn, I saw a destitute figure curled up on the side of a busy street with a blade of grass stuck in his head. Next to him was a sign with four words written on it: Selling yourself to kill!
