Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 17 Assassination
In the second half of the night, the entire Lanyue City seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and was completely silent.
Xu Jingming, Zi Teng, and Mr. Lu were wearing black masks and black clothes. They stood at the corner of the alley and looked at a house in the distance.
"That's Dong Xiao's house." Mr. Lu pointed and said, "Inside the house, besides Dong Xiao, there are a few maids and servants, and more than ten gang members. The strength of these gang members is average and not worth mentioning, but once they send out a signal, the Huayue Gang will know immediately and rush to support them."
"We had already killed Principal Dong before they arrived." Miss Zi Teng said confidently.
"According to the previous plan." Xu Jingming said, "Enter from the side door and follow the main road. People in gangs are very alert, and there are hidden traps in many places in their residences. On the other hand, the main road... is often used by maids, servants and guards, so it is safer."
"If we take the main road, we will be easily discovered by the gang members." Mr. Lu looked at Miss Zi Teng, "Once we find the gang members, we must kill them immediately. We can't let them shout."
"Don't worry." Miss Zi Teng nodded.
"Principal Dong is very afraid of death. He always sleeps in his own little courtyard. That little courtyard must be full of traps." Xu Jingming said, "I will be the first one to go there when the time comes."
"Yes." Zi Teng and Mr. Lu both nodded.
The three of them immediately acted quietly.
Arriving at the east side door of the house, Miss Zi Teng jumped up, leaped over the wall and landed quietly behind the door. Her feet landed gently like a cat's paw pads, making almost no sound. After landing, Miss Zi Teng looked around carefully, and Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu also jumped in.
After achieving cellular-level control, one's footsteps can indeed be softer than a cat's, and no sound is made when moving.
"Walk."
This house is much smaller than Master Chang Yi's house.
Enter from the side door, pass through a door and a corridor, and you will reach the inner house.
Xu Jingming and his two companions quickly approached and suddenly saw two gang members guarding the gate of the inner courtyard. The two gang members were drinking and chatting in low voices.
"Why hasn't Qiu Lao Er come to take over yet? We stayed on duty for half an hour longer today, so we have to let him make up for it next time."
"My eldest brother recently gave him a widow. I wonder if Qiu Lao Er will oversleep with him."
The two of them murmured.
Phew.
Two darts instantly shot into the heads of the two men, and they fell down immediately.
Miss Zi Teng then appeared, holding her long knife and gently cutting the gate of the inner house. With her control of the knife's strength , the thick bolt was easily cut off. There was also a thin wire on the bolt, which was also cut off.
"Ding-dang-dang~~" A bell tied with a thin thread suddenly fell to the ground, making a harsh tinkling sound in the silent night.
The six gang members on duty in different places throughout the house were all startled.
Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Zi Teng all changed their expressions.
"The door bolts of the inner courtyard have bells? That's too cautious!"
"I can't care about that."
Xu Jingming, holding a spear, took the lead and kicked directly on the gate of the inner house.
“Bang!”
The kick had a force of tens of thousands of pounds, and the wooden gate exploded directly, with a large number of broken wood pieces flying into the inner courtyard and in all directions. At the same time, many mechanisms were activated, such as traps, ropes, and hidden weapons.
This made Xu Jingming, Miss Zi Teng, and Mr. Lu all mutter secretly.
It is said that gang members are very careful, but this is too careful! When sleeping at night, the yard is full of various traps. It seems simple, but once you are caught... even if you are a master, you will be injured if you don't die.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a five-colored firework tube shot up into the sky, like a five-colored flower, extremely conspicuous in the night sky.
It’s the signal tube of the Huayue Gang!
"Bang, bang, bang." Mr. Lu on the side also kicked the wall continuously, and countless pieces of stone flew all over the inner courtyard and the house. Almost all the mechanisms were activated.
"superior."
Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu and Miss Zi Teng rushed out from the collapsed wall, leaped more than ten meters with one step, and arrived in front of the big house in the inner courtyard.
Mr. Lu threw out two circular blade wheels, which rotated and easily cut through the house, flying into the house and cutting at will. Xu Jingming lashed at the wall with a spear, and a large part of the wall collapsed in an instant, with countless bricks and stones flying everywhere. Miss Zi Teng held many darts in both hands, always on guard.
What a big house! It was destroyed and collapsed in an instant by Xu Jingming and his men. Arrows and poison fell down. Apparently, some of the mechanisms inside the house were also damaged when the house was destroyed.
"He's rushing around like that, is he an assassin?" Dong Xiao, who had already woken up when the bell rang, saw two circular wheels whistling and cutting in the house. Then a wall began to collapse and splash at any time. The house began to collapse. He felt very aggrieved.
"You dare to come at me so forcefully, you must think you are stronger than me. Forget it, let's save your life first." Dong Xiao originally wanted to launch a sneak attack, but after thinking about it, he became afraid, so he immediately slapped the mechanism at the head of the bed, and the whole bed sank immediately, falling into the underground secret room below.
The reason why he must sleep in his own room every day is because he has modified this room with many mechanisms and an escape route.
"Crash!" A gun shadow swept in with the collapsed wood and stones. Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu and Miss Zi Teng had already rushed in. Mr. Lu even threw out his circular knife wheel to cut in all directions, looking for Principal Dong.
"His aura..." Miss Zi Teng pointed to the ground ahead, "It's underground!"
Every star life that enters the path of transformation will practice the mind method, and some people are particularly good at sensing. Miss Zi Teng is obviously better than Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu in sensing.
"Bang, bang, bang." Mr. Lu heard it, and the round wheels chopped over one by one. The round wheels were super high speed! Each one cut with a force of over ten thousand pounds, instantly cutting through the bricks and stones, revealing an underground passage.
"superior."
The round wheel flew into the underground passage first, and Mr. Lu rushed in. Xu Jingming and Miss Zi Teng followed in one after another.
…
"We found an underground passage and rushed in regardless of whether there were traps or not. Are we risking our lives?" Dong Xiao had just pulled down the gate when he heard a rumbling sound approaching and his face turned pale.
A normal expert would explore an underground passage very carefully for fear of falling.
But it was obvious that Xu Jingming and his two companions, one of them rushed in the front, and the other two rushed in behind! Even if one of their companions died, they didn't care! What they cared about was... killing 'Dong Xiao' as quickly as possible.
Because in their hearts, Dong Xiao's life is worth 900,000 cosmic coins. If they die once, it will only cost 100,000 cosmic coins. It's a worthwhile deal!
"Bang."
The three sharp round wheels tore the gate apart, and Mr. Lu saw Dong Xiao fleeing in a panic.
"Three of you, I will give double the money to whoever invited you!" Dong Xiaolian shouted loudly, fearing that he would lose his life if he shouted too slowly.
call!
Dong Xiao blocked the whistling wheel with a short spear, and the wheel flew back and landed in Mr. Lu's hand.
Mr. Lu, Xu Jingming, and Miss Zi Teng all stared at him, their eyes shining.
"Double the money?" Mr. Lu asked hoarsely.
"It cost three hundred taels of silver to hire our people." Xu Jingming said in a low voice, "Can you pay double that?"
"Yes, I have double. Six hundred taels, I can afford it!" Dong Xiaolian said, "I am the deputy head of Fenghu Hall!"
Xu Jingming and the other two exchanged glances.
"Give us the money now and we will spare your life." Miss Zi Teng also said, "Otherwise, you will surely die today."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Dong Xiao smiled and said, "I've given you everything, but you turned your back on me. So, I'll give you two hundred taels of silver first! Tomorrow... send someone to contact me again. If I don't supply you, with your strength, it's not too late to kill me later."
"Two hundred taels first? That's too little."
"They invited us, but it's three hundred taels."
Xu Jingming, Miss Zi Teng, and Mr. Lu stared at Dong Xiao with murderous intent, as if three wolves were looking at a lamb.
Dong Xiao had no doubts. He was a second-rate expert and a member of the Huayue Gang. The reward for killing him would be two or three hundred taels of silver. If it was less, he would not be able to hire a strong enough expert.
"These three people are extremely powerful, each one is as strong as me, but I spend money lavishly, and I only have more than two hundred taels of silver in cash... How can I get six hundred taels?" Dong Xiao thought secretly.
"You have to give us at least three hundred taels first. We will send someone to contact you tomorrow and give us another three hundred taels." Mr. Lu said hoarsely, "Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Do you agree or not? Just one sentence."
"I can't gather that much silver right now. So, there is a secret cabinet inside the wooden cabinet, which contains two hundred taels of silver." Dong Xiao said immediately, "Take these two hundred taels first, as a token of my sincerity. As for the remaining four hundred taels... you have to give me time to prepare them. I am also afraid that if I give them to you all at once, you will kill me."
"Bang."
Xu Jingming poked the wooden cabinet with a gun, and the entire cabinet shattered into pieces. A small secret cabinet inside also cracked, revealing the silver ingots inside. Each silver ingot weighed 10 taels, a total of 20 silver ingots.
In the Blood Rain World, the value of gold and silver is very high, and one tael of silver is worth one thousand coins!
"I keep my word. Here are two hundred taels..." Principal Dong continued.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Miss Zi Teng suddenly shot a series of darts! Mr. Lu also threw out the knife wheel, which whizzed away, and Xu Jingming also killed with a spear in his hand.
"You don't keep your word!" Dong Xiao was shocked and angry. He didn't even dare to turn around and run away, because showing his back to the three assassins would mean death. He held the two halberds in his hands and swung them across, blocking all the darts. At this moment, the knife wheel was already whistling in front of him.
Principal Dong was furious and unwilling to give up. He blocked with a short spear, and after blocking the knife wheel with the other short spear, he suddenly threw it out. It was only a few meters away. Mr. Lu, who rushed too fiercely, also changed his face and blocked with the knife wheel in his hand.
"clang!"
The thrown halberd was too fast and too close, and Mr. Lu's sword wheel was unable to completely block it. The halberd grazed his waist and tore a large piece of flesh.
"Puff." Xu Jingming took the opportunity and stabbed Dong Xiao's throat with his spear.
Two fists can't beat four hands! Facing Xu Jingming and the other two joining forces, Dong Xiao couldn't stop them at all.
"It was still too reckless." Mr. Lu looked at the wound on his waist. By controlling every cell, the huge wound tightened, and occasionally a drop of blood seeped out.
"Take the silver and leave quickly." Xu Jingming picked up a piece of clothing from the basement, wrapped the two hundred taels of silver, held the gun in one hand and the silver package in the other, and turned around and left. Mr. Lu and Miss Zi Teng followed immediately.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the three of them leapt into the ruined house on the ground, each of them turned into afterimages, and quickly left along the way they came.
In the middle of the night, members of the Huayue Gang were still on their way.
