After the murder, Zhao Hongming was panting like a bison.
Just now, he used the last move of Heaven and Earth Slash, and forcibly increased the power of this sword by burning part of his energy and blood.
According to his estimation, this sword is almost equivalent to the fifth level cultivation level of Tongqiao.
Coupled with the martial arts skill of Bahuang Secret Skill, he could hide in the dark and take action by surprise, so the assassin had no chance to react and fight back, and was killed with one blow.
As an assassin, this person had made so many preparations, but was hacked to death by his target as soon as he stepped out.
He was probably the first assassin in the history of the Six Kingdoms to enjoy such a method of death.
At this time, Zhao Hongming stood there, feeling dizzy.
He knew that this was the aftereffect of the last move of using the sword of heaven and earth.
After using this technique, the qi and blood are forcibly consumed in a short period of time, and the body cannot adapt in time, causing dizziness or even fainting.
However, Zhao Hongming practices the Eight Desolations Immortality Kung Fu, which focuses on physical training. His physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary people.
After discovering the changes in his body, the immortality energy in his body and the newly condensed immortality essence began to work quickly, constantly repairing the damage to his body.
Therefore, when Zhao Hongming used the last move of Heaven and Earth Slash, he only felt a little dizzy, which was not a serious problem.
If it had been anyone else, he would have fallen to the ground unconscious based on his violent use just now.
This was verified when he completed his martial arts training.
Zhao Hongming lowered his head and looked at the two halves of the body on the ground.
Speaking of which, this was his first time killing someone.
At first, he thought he would have to fight hard with the opponent, but he was an experienced assassin.
Unexpectedly, the actual operation was smoother than he thought. It was too simple.
"I came across something so exciting tonight just casually. This assassin wants to do harm to me. If I don't kill him, I might be the one who dies."
The assassin's body had returned to its original appearance. Zhao Hongming endured the discomfort in his senses and searched his body, intending to turn around and run away.
But thinking that there was a body in the house, he turned back.
It's dead anyway, so there's no big problem if you touch it.
Therefore, Zhao Hongming searched Dai Gongzheng all over.
The defense in the palace is very tight. Although the fight just now was short, there was quite a lot of movement.
Fearing that someone would come to investigate soon, Zhao Hongming quickly disappeared into the night after searching the two corpses.
Not long after he left, a group of palace guards rushed over.
They were shocked when they saw the two halves of the body on the ground and the decapitated Dai Gongzheng in the room.
"Hurry up and inform Commander Wan that our leader is dead and his head has been removed."
All the guards were in an uproar.
After hearing the news, Wan Youqing, the inspector in front of the palace and the commander of the general bodyguard, rushed there with a group of subordinates.
His square face was full of seriousness. He asked his subordinates: "Have you found anything?"
General Li Yongfa, the left guard general in front of the palace, clasped his fists and said: "Every report has been checked and is still being checked!"
"Snapped!"
Wan Youqing slapped Li Yongfa on the face.
Li Yongfa flew backwards under his slap, hit the wall behind him hard, and his whole body collapsed.
His throat suddenly felt sweet, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Wan Youqing said angrily: "What are you doing for food? The dignified right-guard general in front of the palace was decapitated in Zuozhong Palace. Are all the people patrolling around blind?"
Then he sneered and said: "Your Majesty just asked us to protect the safety of the palace, but a right-guard general died first. You will give me a face."
As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding guards, regardless of their official positions, were half-kneeling on the ground: "Please inspect and punish!"
In this atmosphere, Li Yongfa didn't care about his injuries and knelt on the ground with everyone.
Wan Youqing looked around at the crowd and said calmly but with authority: "Someone come and tell me the results of the investigation!"
All the guards knew that Wan Youqing was angry, and no one wanted to touch his brow. They all bowed their heads and dared not speak.
Among them, Su Wei whispered: "Acan, didn't you find some results? Hurry up and tell me."
The Su Wei named A Can hesitated and did not dare to raise his head.
The guards behind him looked at each other and pushed him out.
Under the push of Su Wei named A Can, his half-kneeling position became unstable. He exclaimed and stood up directly: "Ah."
Wan Youqing looked over and stared at Su Wei named Acan.
At this point, the guard had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "We have checked all the reports. Judging from the current investigation results, someone poisoned the wine. General Dai was poisoned first and then killed."
"The body that was split in half on the outside looked like he was dressed inside as a Korean, and had the word 'Xian Qi' tattooed on his neck. The rest of his subordinates didn't know."
Hearing this, Wan Youqing almost blurted out: "The twelve assassins of the underworld with the string number seven!"
Everyone knows that there are many assassins in South Korea.
Nine out of ten assassin forces in the world are located in South Korea. Among them, there are three most famous assassin forces, namely, the people in heaven, the people in the world, and the underworld.
These assassin forces in South Korea are extremely strict with the training of their assassins, just like raising voodoos.
In the underworld, only those with outstanding character, cultivation, and abilities will be awarded string trumpets.
Unexpectedly, assassins with string trumpets have appeared in the palace now.
Next, the pressure they, the palace guards, will face is not ordinary.
"How did this assassin die?"
After whispering to his subordinates, Li Yongfa, intending to atone for his crime, took the initiative and said: "He was killed by a third party present, and he killed him with a single knife."
"How is that possible? As underworld assassins, they are flexible and extremely cunning. It is difficult to even touch the corners of their clothes. How could they be killed with a single knife?"
"We have not dealt with these assassins before. They poison, ambush, and use all possible methods. Even if we are guarding the door, we are not confident that we can kill them with one knife?"
Li Yongfa smiled bitterly and said: "I don't believe it either, but judging from the scene, there were no signs of fighting outside the door. The assassin was killed as soon as he went out, without even a chance to fight back."
"This..." Faced with the facts, many doubters took a breath and stopped talking.
After a long time, Wan Youqing said: "In your opinion, what kind of person can do this?"
"Only an underworld assassin with a string number of one can do it."
"In other words, there is an innate-level assassin hiding in our palace who has an unknown enemy or friend?!"
Li Yongfa lowered his head and said no more.
Not only him, but also everyone else stopped talking.
Assassin warriors are already difficult to deal with. How can they defend against an innate-level assassin?
People were panicked for a while.
"I am already clear about this matter. I will report it to Your Majesty at night later and let Your Majesty make a decision."
Wan Youqing regained his morale and said: "Starting tonight, please be very alert and ensure the safety of the palace. As long as you do a good job, your salary for this month will be doubled."
"In addition, starting from tonight, no one is allowed to drink. Violators will be severely punished."
