Chapter 274: Marginal Forces
If the target is alarmed before the raid is carried out, the assassination is likely to be ruined. Although in this case, killers who generally choose to target slightly lower than their own strength usually have more than half of the chance of winning, but not many people are willing to exchange more than 10% of the risk for a seemingly lucrative reward.
However, in front of the masters of the Taiyi Jade Immortal Eighth Rank level controlled by Zhang Fan at this time, even if the Golden Immortal Peak Level thief was fully prepared for battle, he was suddenly replaced by the Spatial Technique without even reacting to himself, and disappeared out of thin air. After only half a breath, only countless spiritual blood fell from the sky like a rain of blood. A human head also took off in an instant, flying into the hands of a person in the killer organization who was in charge of looking at the wind and even answering more than ten miles away.
The whole process was calculated from beginning to end, and it took about a breath or so, and a master at the peak level of the Golden Immortal was killed in an instant without having time to react.
This is also Zhang Fan's decision that after careful weighing, he should show a certain strength in front of these people. Only then will there be a chance to get more opportunities. Luck in the world will not fall on people with a certain strength, but on people with sufficient connections.
As Zhang Fan expected, after this battle, the level of apparent importance of the Seven Tribulations within the killer organization was raised to a higher level. You don't have to take the initiative to find the "organization" with some programs. About three days later, a civilian woman in the Mahayana realm politely and solemnly led Zhang Fan through a teleportation array that was not too far away to another even grander underground palace. It's no longer just a small leader of the third or so levels of Taiyi Jade Immortal who is pretending in front of him. A helmsman with the strength of the sixth-layer peak level of Taiyi Jade Immortal solemnly received him in the main hall with four gold medal killers of the fourth-layer strength of Taiyi Jade Immortal.
"You are the Seven Tribulations of the Southern Nineteen Border Cities?"
"Exactly?"
"I heard that you know a master who can easily kill the peak level of the Golden Immortal?"
"I don't know each other, I feel like I'm just being used. This man seems to be a dangerous person, and is not easily accepted into the organization. ”
"You seem to have said before that he's going to use your identity as a killer, right?"
"Yes"
"You've been in contact with him. According to your rough estimate, can you feel what level of its cultivation strength is?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan thought for a moment and then replied: "This is not very clear below. But I've got a way to find out what this person really is. We can find a target around the peak level of the third layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal, that is, the upper limit of the tasks that this rudder usually performs, to test this person. Targets within the fourth layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal can also be used. If this person doesn't dare to take it, it proves that he is at most a mediocre monk of the second or third layer of Taiyi Jade Immortal. And if the other party can't kill the opponent in seconds as before, but how much it takes a lot of effort, then we can easily figure out what the real details of this person are... ”
Of course, Zhang Fan's proposal was quickly recognized by the organization.
Zhang Fan was still very cautious when he put forward this opinion, afraid that the character he pretended to show too high strength would encounter the jealousy of the helmsman. After all, in ordinary times, this kind of Jianghu organization is similar to the underworld. Parkinson's bureaucratic law is indispensable. In fact, it is obvious that he has underestimated such organizations within the scope of this immortal realm. In the case of having a lot of means of mind control and even supervision and inspection that are not available in the ordinary world, the internal management of such organizations is much stronger than Zhang Fan's imagination.
After about 20 days, Zhang Fan teleported directly from the special teleportation array to the rudder stronghold that was not too far away from the target, and moved towards the general direction of the target according to some very high-level ciphers. Soon, a special telephonic technique came with a message from not too far away: "Our target this time is the fourth-layer plane level monk of Taiyi Jade Immortal in front of you. I think that since your friend had the courage to take on the task of the target of the fourth layer of the Taiyi Jade Immortal Cultivator before, he should be able to find the target by himself. "Obviously: the Taiyi Jade Immortal level already has a strong ability to perceive danger and even the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood within a certain range. There are usually some cronies by their side. A killer organization with a rudder division in a border city area is not in a position to install a real-time scouting discussion in the vicinity of such a person. You can only give a rough area and let the killers find their own targets.
Zhang Fan was not too careless this time, although the puppet he made had a level advantage of four layers equivalent to about twelve grades. Still as vigilant as possible, carefully searching for targets within the confined area. Sure enough, I saw a man in his mid-thirties who seemed to be telling a story to children in a village on the outskirts of the target city. On the surface, this person is a cultivator around the True Immortal Realm, but in front of a real master or a magic weapon that specializes in detecting the breath, he may not be able to hide his identity within ten miles.
As if sensing a hint of danger that had never been seen before, this man in his thirties seemed to know that his life was short, and with a thought, he transmitted a certain mental signal that only a master of the Taiyi Jade Immortal level could receive in all directions: "I think Your Excellency's cultivation should be able to see everything within a radius of thousands of miles. There is no power around here that can threaten a master of your level. So hopefully I would be allowed to say goodbye to these children. Let them think that I am just in a hurry to travel ... ”
Zhang Fan operated the puppet at this time to play a concealed talisman with a very weak content of the Supreme Flame to test this person's character. As a result, of course, Zhang Fan was somewhat surprised: under such a temptation, that person did not react at all? It was either that his real strength was far beyond his expectations, or that the sun came out of the west. He actually met a monk of the Good Realm in this immortal realm where it seemed that the human heart environment was even worse than the Boundless Continent?
Zhang Fan, who was not reconciled, played a picture of the Supreme Flame of the Truth and Kindness Realm used for puppet battles, which finally made this monk of the fourth layer of the Taiyi Realm in his thirties a little moved, and he was immediately knocked unconscious by the fierce Supreme Perfection Sacred Flame, but Zhang Fan can certainly be sure with his current spiritual power advantage, such a third-class Supreme Perfection Sacred Fire Talisman of the Truth and Kindness Realm did not kill this person in an instant?
Since this was the case, Zhang Fan had no intention of really killing him, and soon used a unique liberation talisman to sober up the person, and gave him time to escape, and took out part of his flesh and blood to use it to create a unique illusion. In this case, this illusion may be able to conceal the inspection of the monks of the ninth layer and below of the Taiyi realm. Even for the masters of the tenth or so layers of the Taiyi realm, there is a certain possibility of getting through the test, probably because the peak masters of the Taiyi realm who are better at this aspect may not be so safe in front of them. Of course, this will leave Zhang Fan in the killer industry with a certain upward channel hidden danger and even medium and long-term hidden dangers. It's just that Zhang Fan finally chose to do so after weighing it for a while.
In this way, Zhang Fan used the puppet to play the double reed with himself, and soon accumulated the reward wealth of forty-five medium-grade immortal spirit crystals in a short period of time through two successive tasks, which can basically match the family background of a relatively mediocre fourth-layer monk of Taiyi Jade Immortal, or a relatively surplus third-layer monk of Taiyi Jade Immortal at the level of a city lord.
In addition to these rewards, Zhang Fan also collected a total of eleven items worth medium-grade fairy spirit crystals from the target's body, and after weighing them, they were still exchanged by Zhang Fan for medium-grade fairy spirit crystals. Of course, the storage bag of the strange Taiyi Jade Immortal fourth-layer monk in the good realm before Zhang Fan did not move.
After carrying out two more important assassination missions in a row, according to common sense, in order to avoid possible burdens and even some troubles, Zhang Fan also applied for a dormant time of about 20 years. For this immortal realm, even for the monks of the Golden Immortal and even the early Taiyi Jade Immortal level, this time is not too long, so the seemingly reasonable request was agreed to by Zhang Fan without too many twists and turns.
After careful consideration, Zhang Fan finally made such a plan: although these fifty-six medium-grade immortal spirit crystals are his first pot of gold in this immortal world, it is better not to make a long-lasting plan for this kind of behavior that offends people and is likely to become the target of public criticism to a certain extent. You should find another way to improve your combat effectiveness or seek wealth through some other methods. You shouldn't stay here too long.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan secretly galloped towards other nearby cities while concealing his figure, and tried his best to inquire about some news of this immortal world through his far extraordinary spiritual power detection ability everywhere he went. If there can be a more secure knife head licking blood business, it will naturally be better.
Probably not long after Zhang Fan left the border city before, Zhang Fan felt that the somewhat strange Taiyi Jade Immortal fourth-layer monk who had been put in the storage space by himself seemed to have woken up, which also made Zhang Fan a little excited. When he was busy in the Boundless Continent, he had a lot of experience when he was selecting genius monks who had reached a certain level of mental kindness for the New Heavenly Dao Sect. Generally speaking, people with a certain level of kindness are relatively straightforward and easy to deal with. I don't know people, I don't know my heart, or I have too many scruples when communicating with people. In this case, there is no doubt that you will be able to learn more about this Taiyi Jade Immortal fourth-layer cultivator. I think I should know more than the slave girls I met before.
On a relatively open field, within the phantom array that Zhang Fan temporarily deployed, he transformed into a monk who was about the eighth layer of the Taiyi Realm with a middle-aged appearance. Of course, the face has nothing to do with oneself. Zhang Fan always felt that this middle-aged man who was on the top of the good realm was a little weird, so he was unwilling to easily expose his true identity and even all his hole cards. Even Li Feiyu's name, Zhang Fan, felt that it should be changed.
"Dare to be a senior with a high surname?" After waking up, seeing that the other party did not make too many rude moves to himself, and even some of his belongings and treasures did not move, this man in his thirties did not regard Zhang Fan as an enemy in the true sense.
"In the next Zhang Ruo... Oh, in the next Zhang Ruoxing. It's a scattered cultivation in the rivers and lakes, although my cultivation is higher, but after all, I don't even have the advantage of half a big realm, and my predecessors can't afford it. It's okay to call me Brother Ruoxing. ”
The man also said respectfully: "I, Xiao Chen, am not the identity of a casual cultivator, but... Rather, he was born as a fugitive slave. Now I can only live a life of robbing houses. Oh, by the way, Brother Ruoxing is not an ordinary casual cultivator, right?
"How does Brother Chen know that I am not from the Heavenly Court? Could it be that the people in the Heavenly Court must always carry some tokens on their bodies. I guess there's always going to be some undercover agent, right?"
In fact, Zhang Fan had already collected a lot of information and even memories from those slave girl monks before. Since the end of the integration war in the various domains in this immortal realm, the main relatively large conflict in this immortal realm on the whole is the conflict between the heavenly courts in each region and the scattered fugitive slave resistance forces, or the scattered cultivators of the nature of half-bandit and half-resistance. Of course, this is also relative. Compared with the Heavenly Court, which controls the teleportation array in the main strategic area, the overall influence of the fugitive resistance army and the "scattered army" here is still relatively small, and the size of the gang is often relatively sporadic. On the whole, there are no big winds and waves, more just those monks who have risen up through other methods and have not become slaves or blood food, and even some fugitive slave sects.
"Hehe, I've seen the Heavenly Court Realm's detectives. If you are a detective in the Heavenly Court Realm, with such a big strength advantage, and you see a heavyweight like me, then there should be no appeal to casting a long line to catch big fish... ”
"Could it be that the most Jianghu organizations in this world are you, a monk at the fourth or fifth level of Taiyi Jade Immortal?" Zhang Fan asked somewhat puzzled.
"There are also fifth, sixth, or even seventh-layer Taiyi Jade Immortals. However, any monk who has the third level or above of the Taiyi Jade Immortal is often a figure who stands alone, and there will not be too high-level subordinates. Therefore, if you are a monk of the Heavenly Court, it is the right thing to do if you arrest me and induce or interrogate me by some means... ”
