Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 386 Red Blood Dagger
Lin Qianxing raised his head and glanced at the other person. The person's body was hidden under the cloak. Lin Qianxing couldn't see his face clearly at all. The voice was also deliberately blurred, so he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
But he was an assassin, and there was no need for him to know his employer's information and identity.
He just needs to know who to kill.
"Who?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"The abbot of Changli Temple, Chen Ye." the man said.
Lin Qianxing said: "Since you have found me, you should know my rules."
"I know. I only kill one person a day. I don't kill the elderly, the weak, women, or children. I don't kill good people, and I don't kill unknown people." said the man.
"The abbot of Changli Temple, Chen Yeshan, is famous. If you ask me to kill him, wouldn't that be breaking my rules?" Lin Qianxing said.
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. The evil things he has done are far beyond your imagination." The man said with a meaningful tone.
Lin Qianxing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take this business, but I'll have to wait until I find out the details before I can tell you. You can keep the deposit first."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I will deny it then?" asked the man in black.
Lin Qianxing did not reply, but continued to eat his food silently.
The man in black seemed to understand something when he saw this.
Lin Qianxing had been in the industry for less than two months, but he had not failed in any of the dozen or so missions he had taken on.
One of them is the owner of Cuifeng Villa.
Even those powerful entities could only suffer in his hands.
In his hands, killing is as easy as eating and drinking.
If someone were to go against him, they could only hope to die a quick death.
The man in black was very satisfied with Lin Qianxing's confidence. He did not take the one thousand gold, but turned and left.
Lin Qianxing looked at the money on the table and didn't intend to refuse it.
He looked at the money, then at the things on his desk, and felt that things had to be prioritized.
You can kill someone at any time, but today's meal can only be eaten today.
Crash!
Suddenly, heavy rain fell from the sky.
The place where Lin Qianxing was was drenched by the heavy rain, and the owner of the tavern hurried out and opened the awning.
His hands and feet were nimble and his movements were quick. He didn't look at all like an old man with a broken leg or missing an eye.
He then gestured to Lin Qianxing, indicating that he didn't have to pay for today's drinks.
Half of his tongue was cut off, so he couldn't speak.
He used to be an assassin, and a gold medal assassin at that.
With his third-level cultivation, he plotted against a fourth-level cultivator, lurked for more than half a year and killed him, thus achieving fame and success.
But in life, choices are important.
He was cautious all his life, but finally fell into the hands of a woman.
The woman was the daughter of a man he had once killed.
After being together for a while, the woman was kind enough to only break one of his legs, blind one of his eyes, and cut off half of his tongue, but did not kill him.
But for a top assassin, it is unclear whether this is mercy or humiliation.
Lin Qianxing only knew that he had retired from the underworld since then and opened a tavern here. He would make some money when there were customers, and would stare at a slightly reddish dagger in a daze when there were no customers.
Every assassin has his own story, and Lin Qianxing learned these things from the food and wine he prepared.
And every time he cooks, he seems to recall a story from the past, so his food has a full range of flavors.
Lin Qianxing stood up, took out a gold coin from his purse and threw it on the table.
Then he planned to turn around and leave .
"Uhhhhhhhhhhh~!"
The shopkeeper's voice came from behind. Lin Qianxing turned around and saw the man limping towards him in the rain with some change in his hand.
Lin Qianxing stopped and took the change from him, as well as a dagger.
That was the dagger he would stare at every time Lin Qianxing came.
This means he has truly let go of everything.
Lin Qianxing looked down at the dagger. The cold light on its edge was extremely restrained, but that didn't mean it wasn't sharp.
Amidst the silvery-white metallic luster of the dagger, there was a deep red imprint on it.
This touch of red cannot be wiped off or washed off. It is the color stained by countless blood and also the accumulation of countless karma.
[Red Blood Dagger [Level 3 Extreme]: A bloodthirsty dagger.]
Lin Qianxing watched him turn and leave, and had a premonition that the next time he came, he would not be able to see this tavern or this lame, mute and blind old man.
…
Changli View.
After Chen Ye sent away the pilgrims who came to burn incense with a smile on his face, he looked at his daughter who was waiting beside him.
"Where did you go today?" Chen Ye asked.
"Autumn Leaf Pavilion." Chen Qian said without hiding anything.
"I'm your father, why do you always want to kill me?" Chen Ye asked puzzledly.
"You are worse than a beast, how dare you be a father?" Chen Qian looked straight at Chen Ye.
When there was a flood, her mother took refuge here. Chen Ye took advantage of the situation, killed her mother's husband, and raped her mother.
And then there was her.
Chen Qian's mother raised her until she became a governor. She noticed that there was something wrong with the way Chen Ye looked at her, so she planned to take her away quietly.
But Chen Ye's power was not weak, and my mother's attempts to escape failed several times.
Then Chen Qian saw with her own eyes that her mother was executed by Chen Ye.
When Chen Qian was fifteen years old, Chen Ye committed beastly acts towards her.
She was just a weak woman, and there was no way she could refuse a great monk of the third level.
From then on, she decided to die.
But before she died, she wanted to watch Chen Ye die.
"I thought you had been obedient during this period, so I wanted to let you go out for a walk. I didn't expect that you would still make me so worried." Chen Ye sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and slapped Chen Qian hard on the face.
Chen Qian tilted her head, and her cheek became visibly red and swollen. She endured the pain and stared at Chen Ye, saying, "You're dead."
“Hahaha… Let alone Qiuye Pavilion, who in the entire Daxing Kingdom dares to take over my business? My master is Sima Shu.” Chen Ye smiled and said, “My dear daughter, you should just accept your fate.”
After saying this, he ignored the fact that it was broad daylight and went straight to Chen Qian, ready to do his beastly thing again.
Chen Qian was like a puppet, allowing everyone to do whatever they wanted. The look she gave Chen Ye was like that of a dead person.
Because she knew that person would help her kill Chen Ye.
…
After several days of investigation, combined with the information provided by Qiuye Pavilion, Lin Qianxing had a general understanding of Chen Ye.
This person is indeed a kind person to the outside world, but he is really not a good person in private.
On the surface, he ran a Taoist temple, helped the people eliminate the strange beasts that hurt people, used talismanic water to cure diseases and save lives, and sometimes also provided aid to the poor people around him.
But secretly, he did many despicable things.
Rape, murder and arson were just the least noteworthy parts of his evil deeds. His real evil was his attempt to connect to the earth veins and practice.
The energy of the earth veins around Changli Temple was extracted by him, resulting in several earthquakes and floods.
The casualties were more than hundreds of thousands.
All this was caused by his unrestrained extraction of the earth's energy.
And in times of disaster, he always stood up to help the people with a compassionate look on his face.
Such a hypocritical person should have died long ago.
But not only did he not die, he was alive and well.
Because there is someone behind him.
Sima Shu, the commander of the Daxing Kingdom's Formation-Breaking Army, has reached the middle fourth rank [Sword Sect].
He once built half of the country for Daxing, and his contributions are difficult to measure. The current emperor has to treat him with respect when meeting him.
There are people in the whole Daxing who can rival him, but at least they won’t cause trouble for him because of this matter.
As a national guardian, everyone would give him some face.
So when Lin Qianxing was investigating his information through Qiuye Pavilion, Yin Gui advised Lin Qianxing not to get involved in this matter.
Lin Qianxing suspected that Chen Ye's behavior of extracting the energy from the earth's veins was related to him.
After all, if Chen Ye were to practice on his own, it would be impossible for him to need such a huge amount of earth energy.
However, these are not what Lin Qianxing needs to consider. He only knows that Chen Ye deserves to die and that’s enough.
In the rainy sky.
Lin Qianxing seemed to have merged into one with the world. He did not leave any footprints on the road he walked on. His body appeared and disappeared in the dark and rainy place. If others saw him, they would just think they were dazzled and could not see his appearance clearly.
This is the third-level lower-level Taoist skill [Enter the Void] that allows the third-level [Shadowless Assassin] to conceal his body.
It is a Taoist skill related to space, which allows Lin Qianxing's body to switch between reality and illusion.
However, since it only lasts for a moment and consumes a lot of energy, the general [Shadowless Assassin] will only be used at critical moments.
However, Lin Qianxing has the Dao Fruit of [Movement], so he can ignore the consumption and keep using it.
Soon, Lin Qianxing appeared in front of Changli Temple.
At this time, the gate of Changli Temple was closed. Lin Qianxing did not stop, but went straight into the void, turned into a translucent state, and passed through the gate.
His figure flashed, avoiding the servants in the Taoist temple and coming to where Chen Ye lived.
There is no one around here, it seems extremely secluded.
It was obvious that Chen Ye had deliberately instructed them not to get close.
Lin Qianxing stood quietly outside the room, where Chen Ye was writing talismans.
He was in a very serious state, giving people the image of a master.
But no one knows how ugly he is in private.
Lin Qianxing learned from Qiuye Pavilion's information that he even attacked his own daughter .
Calling him a beast seems a bit insulting to the word beast?
In this assassination, Lin Qianxing decided to see some blood.
His figure flashed and the red blood dagger appeared in his palm. The next moment, Lin Qianxing was standing behind Chen Ye.
Chen Ye's movements stopped, and a very thin bloodstain slowly appeared on his neck.
He wanted to speak, wanted to move, but his body was inexplicably stiff.
"poison?"
Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to think deeply.
Lin Qianxing looked at Chen Ye's fallen body and suddenly understood why this Taoist priest was in the same infinite web as the [Doctor].
Killing some of these beasts and scum may save more lives.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing disappeared into thin air and left as quietly as he came.
Not long after he left, Chen Ye's body was found by people in the Taoist temple. However, his body had been cut into pieces by knife blades, and his original shape could not be seen at all. No one knew who did it.
…
On the other side, Sima Shu, who was in charge of the army, suddenly frowned and said, "My disciple's soul has been shattered? Now in Daxing, is there anyone who doesn't even take me, Sima Shu, seriously?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but sneer.
It doesn’t matter whether Chen Ye lives or dies, but everyone knows that Chen Ye is working for him.
Killing Chen Ye would be a slap in his face.
Swoosh!
A long sword that looked like a yellowish-brown gem was unsheathed and appeared beside Sima Shu.
This was the sword that he had asked Chen Ye to extract from the earth's veins.
The sword understands the master's heart and knows his anger, so he will unsheathe himself to kill the enemy for his master.
"Do you want to go out for a walk too? Well, let me see who is this person who has such courage." Sima Shu said.
Immediately, he stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. His body turned into a ray of sword light, suddenly soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon.
