Night falls.
After reading the files, Chen Ping knew that the moment he was targeted, only one person between him and Qi Jianglun could survive.
After pausing for some time on the road, Chen Ping waited until nightfall before sneaking into the street where Qi Jianglun's house was located to survey the scene.
Qi Jianglun may not be able to discover Situ Shan's death tonight, but if he still doesn't see Situ Shan tomorrow, he is likely to become suspicious. If Situ Shan tracks him down and conspires with Qi Jianglun, then the risk of his exposure will increase significantly after tomorrow.
He couldn't afford the risk.
Tonight is the best time to take action.
Qi Jianglun's house is not far from the house of Chief Zhou, one of the city's defense leaders, and there are three houses in between. If Boss Zhou can be one of the leaders in city defense, his strength must not be too weak, or even very high. It's not something he can touch.
After reminiscing along the way, he also remembered where he had heard the name Zhou Jianping.
I mentioned this when the city defense came to inspect the demon cultivator.
Therefore, killing Qi Jianglun must be done while leader Zhou is not at home, otherwise it will be really dangerous if there is any commotion.
He remembered that when the city defense came to inspect the magic cultivator, the little boss at that time said that the patrol time of Leader Zhou was Xu Shi. What a God-sent opportunity. Fortunately, it's not chen, si, or noon, otherwise we would have to wait until the daytime tomorrow to take action, which would increase the risk in vain.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Chen Ping pinched Situ Shan's face, restrained his breath, and sneaked into Qi Jianglun's home quietly.
After squatting for a long time, I figured out one thing:
Qi Jianglun and his four apparent apprentices were all in the backyard of this house. These four apprentices were not so much Qi Jianglun's apprentices as they were Qi Jianglun's long-term workers, or Qi Jianglun's accomplices in making money.
I usually do anything.
I will also stay here at night, and I need to copy Fupi teaching books for Qi Jianglun.
The secret disciple like Situ Shan was not there.
Chen Ping looked at the sky and saw that there was still some time left in Lixu. After traveling through time for a few months, he had already followed the local customs and learned to tell time by the color of the sky. Generally speaking, he was pretty much the same.
He quietly exited the courtyard and went straight to the secret apprentice's house.
The address is in the file and the location is easy to find. This monk is at the second level of Qi training. For Chen Ping, killing this monk is as easy as paper Ximen Qing.
Chen Ping quickly found this person's home, ran into the yard, listened carefully, and decisively drew his sword.
This monk was meditating when he heard a noise and suddenly prepared to stand up:
"讠......"
Chen Ping didn't hesitate at all. A sword pierced his throat, causing him to only say half of the word 'who'. His voice passed through his throat and brushed the sword body, making a 'wuwuwu' sound.
The monk didn't even have time to pick up the sword until he died, his eyes widened with disbelief.
I was surprised at how fast the sword was.
He was also surprised why Situ Shan wanted to kill him.
"It's hard to avoid being scared when you die for the first time. Once you get used to it, you won't be scared anymore." As a good person, Chen Ping comforted him while cleaning up the scene.
Touch the corpse, hide the corpse, remove personal traces... a quick and agile one-stop service.
Then evacuate decisively.
When he came back to the street where Qi Jianglun's house was located again, Chen Ping hid in the dark and stared at Leader Zhou's house quietly.
He needs to wait.
We can only take action after Boss Zhou goes out on duty.
At the time of Xu, Chief Zhou had not made any move.
Chen Ping didn't move either. He was patiently waiting for the best opportunity.
After lighting a stick of incense, the door to Chief Zhou's courtyard finally opened. Chief Zhou appeared in a brocade robe and left chatting and laughing with his two other colleagues who were waiting outside.
After waiting for half a finger of fragrance and making sure that the leader Zhou was gone, Chen Ping gently drew out his long sword.
"Right now."
He tightened his body, jumped into the courtyard along the corner, gently slipped through the path, and entered the backyard.
The oil lamp was shining in the backyard, and four apprentices were copying books under the oil lamp. That position is not getting closer slowly.
Qi Jianglun was in the house.
Chen Ping took a deep breath, stepped on the breeze, and walked straight towards the four of them.
"who?"
"How dare you break into a house?"
"Qiang!"
Chen Ping swung his sword, and Jian Gang went straight towards the four people, but he was a little surprised...the four people didn't recognize Situ Shan's face? At least I didn't recognize it the first time. It seems that this secret apprentice is really good at hiding it.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The four of them were fully prepared, but had they ever seen such a fast Jian Gang? No matter how they changed their bodies, they felt that they could not escape the tracking of the long sword, as if they were locked.
The four fell to the ground instantly.
The second level of Qi training can't pass a single move under his hands.
Chen Ping was about to rush into the house when the door flew out with a bang and came towards him. Chen Ping stabbed out with his sword, shattering the wooden door into pieces and sending his body flying back at the same time.
Qi Jianglun had a sword in his hand and was standing under the eaves, his clothes fluttering:
"You are not Situ Shan."
"What? You don't even dare to show your true face to others?"
Chen Ping didn't have time to talk nonsense with him. Waiting for a second would be more dangerous. No one knows whether Boss Zhou will go home early temporarily.
Moreover, Qi Jianglun is at the fourth level of Qi training.
No room for carelessness.
His body shot away again, straight towards Qi Jianglun's face.
"You are looking for death." Qi Jianglun rushed up at the same time, and the sword energy was already fighting together. Just when Chen Ping was about to kill Qi Jianglun with his next sword.
With a clang sound, the tip of Chen Ping's sword was blocked by a sword thrust out of thin air.
Caught off guard, Chen Ping was instantly forced back and felt a sweetness in his throat.
This attack brought the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi training.
There was a person in front of Qi Jianglun out of thin air, looking at Chen Ping expressionlessly.
"At the third level of Qi training, Breeze Nine Swords can be practiced to the sixth form, and it has reached perfection. It can be regarded as rare in Lianyuncheng. But why do you want to come here to seek death?" The monk stared at Chen Ping with a paralyzed face.
The fifth level of Qi training is the middle stage of Qi training.
Um.
Not bad.
The reason why he didn't use the seventh and eighth moves when facing Qi Jianglun just now was because he was waiting for the person who might exist in the shadows.
Then, just kill the fifth-level monks.
Chen Ping had no reservations anymore, and the clouds and smoke steps created an afterimage, the seventh form of the Breeze Nine Swords, and the breeze rose again.
The facially paralyzed monk was shocked. He knew the sixth form himself, so he had naturally learned the seventh form.
'Breeze Nine Swords, seventh style. '
'Not the third floor? Lost your breath? '
In panic, he instinctively retreated a foot.
Qi Jianglun had never imagined that such a situation would occur. The bodyguard who had sworn to protect him with a Taoist heart in front of him actually chose to protect himself, leaving Chen Ping's face and flaws unprepared.
"Yu Qingyi?"
"Yu Qingyi?"
Qi Jianglun and the facially paralyzed monk almost exclaimed in unison.
In the entire Lianyung City, only Yu Qingyi knows the seventh form.
Yu Qingyi, nine levels of Qi training.
Qi practice Dzogchen.
Qi Jianglun looked at Chen Ping with horror on his face, then slowly lowered his head and looked at his body.
There, a long sword had pierced his heart.
"Yu Qingyi, have I ever offended you?"
'laugh...'
Chen Ping suddenly drew out his sword, spinning Qi Jianglun's body in a circle in the air, and at the same time struck the facially paralyzed monk with his long sword.
The sword just now was not originally used to kill the facially paralyzed monk.
The eighth form is it.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah..."
The monk with facial paralysis threw fireball spells for free. At the fifth level of Qi training, he looked like a frightened child weighing 500 pounds.
He concluded that the person in front of him was Yu Qingyi.
Yu Qingyi took action, and he had no chance of survival.
There wasn't even a chance to escape.
"Senior Yu, wait, wait, I would like to swear with my Taoist heart that I will follow you in this life without any second thoughts. If not, I will not die well."
"Ah ah ah ah ah..."
Throw fireball spell.
Chen Ping avoided the bursts of fireballs with his ghostly figure and stepped forward. The tip of the sword in the eighth posture instantly reached the body of the paralyzed monk. The sword tip penetrated the flesh for two points, but it did not produce the expected explosion effect.
grass.
Amulet.
But fortunately, he was fast enough, Breeze Nine Swords had been practiced to the point of perfection, and he could turn over with the seventh move.
The facially paralyzed monk's head drew a beautiful arc in the air and rolled to the ground with a dull sound.
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
The body has a tendency to become deficient.
He held on and glanced around. With the help of the facially paralyzed monk, part of Qi Jianglun's courtyard was already on fire.
Touch the corpse decisively.
He quickly touched the bodies of Qi Jianglun and the facially paralyzed monk, then threw the two corpses where the flames were the loudest, and threw the corpses of the four apprentices over, not even bothering to touch the corpses.
Too late.
This battle took dozens of breaths.
In the situation where the facially paralyzed monk said "Ahhhhh", there was a lot of movement, and the fire was already ignited, so someone would notice it immediately.
After throwing away the body, he jumped out of the yard decisively.
There were several nearby monks outside who were rushing towards this direction, perhaps attracted by the flames or movement. When they saw Chen Ping jumping out, they immediately stopped. After looking at Qi Jianglun's yard and then at the menacing Chen Ping, they didn't make any move.
Chen Ping ignored them and plunged into the night.
Wandering around in the alley, he changed his face twice, shattered and threw away the ordinary Taoist robe on the outside.
Then he rushed home.
