The weather was getting warmer, and it was almost a year since Chen Mobai came to Black Jade Tower. During this period, he was assassinated countless times, both covertly and overtly, which made his senses extremely sharp, to the point where he could distinguish the changes and murderous intentions around him from the subtle changes in the environment.
One evening, Chen Mobai habitually sat in his room with his eyes closed. Suddenly his ears twitched and he noticed someone approaching. When he opened his eyes, the tip of the knife was already in front of him.
Sooner or later, just when the sharp blade was about to hit his eye, Chen Mobai was enveloped by a strong force of true energy. The dagger seemed to stop in mid-air. Chen Mobai suddenly flicked his finger, and the dagger deviated from the target, only cutting off a few strands of hair. . Then he grabbed the other person with his hand and dragged him from the window into the room.
The assassin was obviously wary of Chen Mobai's energy, so he quickly broke away and fought back with his palms.
Chen Mobai clearly felt the opponent's vitality, and punched three times in a row to eliminate the force of his palm, then leaned forward to attack the opponent's weak spot.
However, this person is obviously different from the past. He is not afraid of personal attacks. His martial arts skills are much higher than those of the previous people, and his true energy is much stronger.
After less than ten moves, the man stopped and said, "Not bad, great progress."
Chen Mobai had already guessed the identity of the other party and replied: "If you hadn't kept your hand, my life would have been lost long ago."
The visitor took off the veil. It was Hua Ruqian. She looked at Chen Mobai and said with a smile: "These days, your insight is no longer what ordinary people can achieve, and your senses are even more different than before. If you are not a master, you want to be right." It’s hard to succeed with your sudden killing move.”
"It's not because of you that I was attacked hundreds of times by people in the entire village, both covertly and openly."
Chen Mobai seemed a little resentful, but he took a long breath and said, "I have to say, I really should thank you this year."
"Do you still hate me?"
"It's a lie to say that I don't hate you. After all, you did that to my parents. But I'm not a ungrateful person. During the year I spent in Black Jade House, I understand your intentions and I'm grateful for your care and cultivation of me. , although the method is a bit rough, but I have to say that the effect is very significant. So in addition to hatred, I also have respect for you. Not only you, but everyone in Black Jade Tower, I would like to thank you for your mercy."
Chen Mobai deliberately made the last sentence louder and said it to everyone outside.
Hua Ruqian smiled appreciatively and said, "You all can come in."
As soon as the words came out, several people entered the house lightly from outside. These few were not strangers to Chen Mobai.
"I have no mercy." Qingyu said lightly.
"I know."
"You are indeed better than me, but it's good to practice with you."
Chen Mobai was a little embarrassed, so he said, "Let's forget it. You hit me the hardest, the most times, and you actually picked on me when I was weakest."
"While I am training you, I am also training this girl. For you, it means being able to persevere."
"So what did you give Qingyu?"
"I don't have to hold back to assassinate you."
The corners of Chen Mobai's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, and he asked again: "What if I'm really not careful..."
"Of course not. Someone is watching Qingyu's actions."
"You are really not stingy with me. The martial arts of these two are much better than mine. I guess they must have high status in the Black Jade Tower besides you."
"Tiegu and Tumi are my right and left hands."
The two took off their masks.
"The brother from the blacksmith shop and the sister from the mountain behind are picking flowers. You two learned the lesson relatively early. Even though you covered your face a few times after that, you can guess it's you two."
Tu Mi smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you can already remember the people in the Black Jade Tower."
Chen Mobai smiled and said nothing.
"Master, is it really over like this?" Qingyu asked seemingly unwillingly.
"You have a grudge against me?"
"No, I just want to fight you."
This statement left Chen Mobai speechless. During his time in the Black Jade Tower, he was most familiar with Qingyu. Although she assassinated him many times, it was only for his own experience after all. He also knew what Qingyu's personality was like, so I never took it to heart, but I never thought that this girl would become addicted to killing herself.
Hua Ruqian explained: "If I don't speak softly, I'm not your opponent. Even if I can beat him, you won't die."
It turns out that the person who follows Qingyu every time is Hua Ruqian, ensuring that Chen Mobai will not be killed because of his carelessness.
Chen Mobai understood immediately and couldn't help but said: "It's really well-intentioned."
"You're welcome, I will stop assassinating you and start letting you participate in the mission of Black Jade Tower."
"What mission?"
"Heiyulou has always made a living by killing people, so the job he got was naturally a killing job."
"this……"
"You can rest assured that we won't let you kill some people you shouldn't kill."
Hua Ruqian knew Chen Mobai's thoughts very well. His purpose was to avenge his parents and kill those who had harmed them, rather than killing innocent people indiscriminately, so he put aside his concerns first.
"But didn't Black Jade Tower also hunt down Su Wenfang?"
"What I said is that I won't let you kill him. It doesn't mean that others won't kill him. Besides, what is the relationship between Su Wenfang and Black Jade Tower? Why can't he be killed? With his talent, if he becomes the pillar of the Hao Kingdom army in the future, he may cause some problems. How many evils have been committed, but killing him now might actually be a good thing."
"We still don't know what will happen in the future. After all, he is an innocent person now."
"How can you be innocent when you are in the mud of a river? Do you have to wait for everything to happen before you make plans? Well, I can promise you that Baiyulou will try not to kill your so-called innocent people in the future. Su Wenfang's matter also means that Baiyulou I won’t ask any more questions, so you can carry out your mission with confidence.”
Tiegu and Tumi were a little surprised when they saw Hua Ruqian's promise. You must know that since Rakshasa founded the Black Jade Tower, she has never cared about who the target is. The reason why the Black Jade Tower has developed rapidly in her hands is that no matter who the other party is. Anyone who accepts a commission will spare no effort to pursue him to the end. Although there are some commissions that he does not accept, he has never promised anyone who Black Jade Tower will not touch.
"I will personally arrange your next actions and let Tu Mi go with you. Remember not to reveal your identity and wear a mask when performing tasks. In the past, you showed your true face to others, but you wore a mask in your heart. Now you put on the mask and only need be yourself."
Chen Mobai raised his eyes to look at Hua Ruqian and replied softly: "I understand."
"Master, I also want to participate in the mission."
"Then you just follow Tiegu. He can take you with him when he goes to carry out the execution." Hua Ruqian thought about it and agreed with her wishes.
"Thank you, Master."
Tiegu has always been taciturn and just smiles. He watched Qingyu grow up, and in his eyes he was almost like a younger sister. As for Qingyu's abilities, he naturally knew them well, so he was not worried.
Chen Mobai either refused or almost missed the task at the last minute, so he always had to rely on Tu Mi or Hua Ruqian to deal with the aftermath personally. Every time she asked him why, he only replied that he couldn't do it. Hua Ruqian thought that he still didn't want to kill, and she didn't force him.
Later, when Hua Ruqian asked to take on the task, she needed more detailed information about the target's life and personality. She collected as much information as possible and found out a suitable part of it to give to Chen Mobai.
Sure enough, one day Chen Mobai finally came to Hua Ruqian with a mission letter and asked to complete it himself.
Hua Ruqian was naturally happy, so she let him take the lead and Tu Mi assisted him in completing it.
Jieshan is eight hundred miles to the east, close to Zhumaguan, the northern pass of Hao Kingdom, and located in Huanzhou. There has been no war between Heng and Hao in the past hundred years, so many villages and towns in Huanzhou have a large population.
It is also a place where Jianghu sects gather. Hongshan is located three hundred miles south of Zhumaguan. Although it is not a famous mountain, there is a Jianghu sect named Tiemumen in the mountain, which has always made nearby villages change their faces and dare not talk about it.
Hao Santong, the head of the Iron Wood Sect, was born in the military. Although his martial arts skills are not advanced, he has some connections with the military and aristocratic families. Therefore, he has attracted many people who do all kinds of evil and become the king of the mountain. He specializes in feeding the common people for a living. It is better to say that he is a sect. Said they were a group of bandits.
The nearby villages and towns have been exploited all year round and are miserable. Tiemumen colludes with soldiers and bandits, and reporting to the government is useless. The people who had endured it for a long time tried their best to collect money to pay for the murder from the Black Jade Tower, but it was only enough to buy Hao Santong's life.
In the town at the foot of the Red Mountain at night, two men wearing masks stood on a high place, watching from the darkness the people at the iron wooden gates collecting money from house to house. One of them had a faint murderous intention.
"Don't be exposed, these people are not our targets." One person said after noticing the murderous intent of his companions. "There are countless injustices in the world. Being easily angered and exposing murderous intent is not a qualified killer."
"I know."
"Originally, we don't need to do this kind of task. It's just because it's your first time to ask for it. You can kill Hao Santong by yourself. I'll stay around just in case."
"You don't have to take action."
The woman glanced at her companion with her peripheral vision, and then said: "Okay, don't mess it up."
After saying that, the two disappeared into the night.
In the backyard of the inner hall behind the iron wooden gate, a group of people pressed down several women and knelt on the ground. Hao Santong examined the trembling women one by one.
"This batch is of good quality. Let's send it over the next day."
Hao Santong ordered with satisfaction.
"Master, how many will be left this time?" A disciple asked with some covetousness.
"The quantity is not enough recently, so send them all over."
In the past, when he arrested women, Hao Santong would leave a few behind for the family to have fun with. However, the number of arrests has decreased recently. If they were detained privately, even Hao Santong would not be able to deal with them. They could not afford to offend the people there.
The disciple felt very disappointed. It was just a chance to ask, but since Hao Santong didn't agree, he didn't dare to say any more.
"Then we will scan further afield. Don't just focus on the nearby villages and towns. There are so many young girls missing. There is no evidence that it was us. What if there is real evidence one day... This dog bites people when he is anxious. Woolen cloth."
"Don't worry, we have already ordered you to go down. We can only arrest two or three people in a village, and the villagers are not afraid even if they know that we are the ones who did it. If there are really jumpy people, just teach them a lesson, and the others will be honest." .”
"Well, if these don't work, just send them away tomorrow, so as not to give them to Huo Huo again if some little brat can't control them."
"yes."
Several people dragged the women out of the backyard.
All this was seen by a person who had been hiding on the eaves for a long time.
Hao Santong entered his room and saw a woman in thin clothes. Her hands and feet were tied tightly with hemp ropes. Her eyes were blindfolded and her mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth. She couldn't make any sound. She huddled in a corner of the bed unconsciously.
"No one will bother you this time." Hao Santong knocked on the door and said with a lewd smile.
When the woman heard Hao Santong speak, her body trembled suddenly and she became even more frightened.
Hao Santong slowly approached, stretched out his hand to remove the cloth that covered the woman's eyes, and said gloomily: "Little lady, don't make a sound, those bastards in the door are still hungry, and it's not easy for you to be the head of the house and eat alone, but who made you look like this?" Keren, I can't bear to let you be tortured to death by them."
As she spoke, she reached out to pluck her clothes. The woman's mouth was gagged and she could only make humming noises from her nose, begging the other party to let her go.
At this time, a chill came from behind Hao Santong. Although Hao Santong was not a martial arts master, he instinctively sensed the approaching danger and hurriedly turned to avoid it.
"who?"
Hao Santong, who had escaped the attack, quickly pulled out the guy and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in the room in horror and asked.
The man wore a black mask and had no facial features, only a pair of murderous eyes. It looked even more terrifying under the candlelight, like a ghost.
The person who attacked Hao Santong was naturally Chen Mobai. He should have waited until he was more defenseless, but when he saw that Hao Santong was about to cheat on the woman, he couldn't help but attack in advance.
"Who are you?" Hao Santong asked again. Although the other party didn't use all his strength in his attack just now, he could still feel that his martial arts was not weak. In order to act casually, he deliberately drove away the people nearby. Now that there was no one around, Hao Santong did not dare to act rashly.
"Do it quickly, don't wait for others to come."
Tumi's urging came from outside the window.
Bang, bang, bang, Chen Mobai stepped forward, pulled out the iron rod wrapped tightly in white cloth from behind, and struck the opponent down with his head covered.
When Hao Santong saw the person coming, he ignored him completely, and launched his killing move. He was obviously running for his life, and without any nonsense, he raised his knife to hold off the iron rod, strode forward and killed him with his backhand several times in a row.
Seeing the other party's move, Chen Mobai laughed in his heart.
The weapons collided. Hao Santong boasted that his close-quarter sword skills were not weak, but he was unexpectedly neutralized by the opponent.
In terms of close-quarters skills, ordinary people would never get an advantage in front of Chen Mobai.
After a few moves, Hao Santong was clearly defeated.
"You should at least let me know why you want to kill me." Hao Santong looked confused.
"Unjust is doomed to destruction."
Hao Santong was puzzled. If he said why he should die, he could not give too many reasons, but how could disaster suddenly come to him without any sign?
"Don't you know that I have a relationship with General Li and the Zhuang Mansion? If you kill me, wouldn't it be tantamount to offending them?"
Zhuang Mansion?
Although Hao Santong would have died if he had not said this, when it came to the Zhuang Mansion, Chen Mobai was even more ruthless. His true energy surged instantly, causing the iron rod to vibrate violently and almost being lifted out of Chen Mobai's hand.
Chen Mobai was also very surprised by the sudden movement of the iron rod.
The strange movement seemed to become more and more violent. Chen Mobai rushed to control it, but he did not expect that the more he poured in energy, the more violent the iron rod would tremble.
boom!
Suddenly the strip of cloth wrapped around the iron rod exploded, along with the rags and countless iron filings. Looking at the iron rod in his hand, it still looked the same as before. Hidden in the unattractive iron sheet was a straight long knife with a pitch-black blade and a cold light flowing from the blade. It was clearly a weird horizontal knife.
Hao Santong saw that the opponent was distracted and could not care about the strangeness of the opponent's weapon, so he slashed with his sword.
Chen Mobai suddenly came to his senses and raised his hand to wave. The collision of the two swords did not make the crisp impact sound as before. There was just a soft sound, and Hao Santong's sword was cut into half.
So sharp!
Chen Mobai was amazed in his heart, but he was not distracted this time. He lowered his body and swung the knife with a little more force, and the sharp knife radiated directly through Hao Santong's body.
Looking at Hao Santong again, his eyes widened. Suddenly, a bright red streak appeared from his right rib to his left shoulder, and his upper body slid down and became two pieces.
Even Tu Mi outside the house was stunned by this scene. Although it was not difficult to kill him with Chen Mobai's skills, the power of this knife was really astonishing.
Chen Mobai didn't expect that this knife would directly cut Hao Santong's body into pieces, and he was a little shocked, but he knew very well that most of the reason for such power lay in this knife.
"Walk."
Another whisper came from outside the house.
Chen Mobai looked at the thing in his hand, and he saw the word "setting sun" engraved near the blade, thoughtfully. Then he used the knife to randomly pick up the clothes next to him, rolled them up a few times, and wrapped them around the knife. He untied the rope for the frightened and panicked woman, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hero, stay!"
The woman shouted hurriedly regardless of her fear.
"Although the hero has killed this evil thief, there are still many of his disciples outside..."
"My only target is him."
The woman's eyes were still a little wet, and the mask of the man in front of her was really scary. You could say that he was a hero who eliminated harm for the people, but just looking at this mask, he seemed more sinister than Hao Santong. The woman suppressed the fear in her heart and said tremblingly: "Hero, please save this person to the end. Hao Santong, a group of evil thieves who usually bully men and women, do all kinds of evil. Relying on the support of others, they don't even treat people from nearby towns. The common people are human beings, and the property he looted must be here, so the hero can just take it, I only hope that the hero can eradicate these evil thieves."
Chen Mobai looked at the woman. It was obvious that she was also scared at this moment and her body was still trembling. The fact that an ordinary woman could muster up the courage to beg him in such a situation was enough to show that she was bullied by Hao Santong and his gang.
"Don't mind your own business, our mission is just to kill Hao Santong."
"Feel sorry."
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he turned over and left the room.
When the woman saw the other party leaving, she covered her face in despair and cried bitterly. It is true that Hao Santong is the leader of this gang, but just because he is dead does not mean that others will not continue to do evil. Not to mention whether he could get out of the iron-wooden gate of the village, other people in the village and town might be blamed for Hao Santong being killed inexplicably.
After leaving, Chen Mobai and Tu Mi said: "Although the mission is completed, I want to practice more, so I will treat the rest as free."
"Don't be impulsive. We are not here to help people in need."
"The mission has been completed, but it didn't say that we can't kill more people. As long as our identity is not exposed, it will be fine."
"you……"
Tu Mi sighed helplessly.
Overnight, first the people in the Tiemumen village in Hongshan, and then those who were doing evil in the village, were killed all over Tiemumen. The people who witnessed it only saw two ghost figures taking action at lightning speed to deal with the evildoers who had caused trouble for many years, and then disappeared without a trace.
Soon, the women who were captured on the mountain returned to the villages and towns with their looted property. They also had no idea who did it. People who originally knew some of the inside story speculated that it might be Black Jade Tower, but Black Jade Tower has never done anything unnecessary, but now it slaughtered the iron wooden door from top to bottom, so it is still doubtful whether it was done by Black Jade Tower.
