Chapter 39: Infighting
Tian Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had a murderous intent towards Tian Gu in his heart. What he said just now had the intention of finding himself under the stairs, but he didn't expect that Tiangu would be so faceless to himself, and now he has no way to retreat, and he must make a priority with Tiangu.
The first place of the Tiangang killer is not so easy to be, the leader has the distress of the leader, and everyone behind wants to step on him to take the position. On the other hand, Tianwei, who is now ranked second, doesn't have so many worries, he deserves to be rewarded for doing well, and if he doesn't do well, it's nothing, anyway, it's just a second, and he still has his own top.
But he is different from Tianmeng, as the Tiangang-level killer ranked first in the Dark Key Pavilion. He must not make any mistakes, because his existence means the ceiling of Tiangang-level killer combat power, everyone will stare at him, a mistake, a failure will bring him a devastating blow, if he can't bear this pressure, everything he will be taken away!
When Qin Sixteen first arrived, he killed the strongest group of six led by Tian Kui, although this would directly affect the overall strength of the Dark Key Pavilion, but it also gave Tian Meng and Tian Gu the opportunity for killers to come forward. Because not so long ago, they were also one of the oppressed bottom killers.
"Why, don't you speak?" Seeing that Tianmeng was silent, Tiangu felt that he had the upper hand, and became more and more unscrupulous, "Tiankui is dead, and the strength of our remaining ones is about the same, so there is no need to score first and second."
Even if some people take advantage of the title, they actually don't have that strength in their hands. There is a saying, there are no tigers in that mountain, and the monkey is the king! Our Dark Key Pavilion is not a monkey mountain, so why do we let the monkey be the boss?"
After finishing speaking, Tiangu still stared at Tianmeng with provocative eyes. Both sides are wearing masks, and neither can see the change in the other's expressions, everything can only be experienced from the eyes.
As if he didn't hear the ridicule from the other side, Tianmeng didn't look at Tiangu, he turned his head directly, and ordered to the dark street corner behind him: "The task has been completed, everyone is alive, and they all withdraw!"
As soon as the words fell, the corner that was still full of darkness slowly became a little brighter. Without the shadow of a person, the stars and moon in the summer sky finally fell on this street corner again.
Most of the killers left, but there were still a few breaths in the corner that stayed in place and never left. They completed tonight's task very quickly, and it was only more than half an hour before and after, and there was still a long time before the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion came to rotate.
The reason why the killers who left were unwilling to stay was simply because they were too far behind, and even if Tiangu and Tianmeng were defeated by both sides, they would not have a chance to take the position.
On the contrary, the killers left behind are the ones that are at the top of the rankings. Not only the members of the current Killer Six, but also some of the people who are only behind the Six and want to replace them, are also hiding in the shadows at the moment.
To be honest, Tianmeng's heart was also a little empty at this moment. There is too much difference between his position and Tiangu, and the pressure he faces when he kills Tiangu here and Tiangu kills himself here is completely different.
But the matter has come to this point, there is no other way out, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Tian Meng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Tiangu, you have been staying in Kong Ji's room for too long, I am the leader and supervisor appointed by the Pavilion Master personally, I now ask you to give me an explanation, otherwise I have reason to suspect you, intending to collude with Kong Ji to betray the information and location of my Secret Key Pavilion." ”
As the number one killer of the Dark Key Pavilion, he was severely cut in front of many colleagues, and if his words just now could make all the killers withdraw, he would have endured it.
But there are still many people who refuse to leave, obviously just wanting to stay and watch his jokes, which makes him how to retreat. If he doesn't make a break with Tiangu tonight, his prestige in the Dark Key Pavilion will come to an end, and he may even be squeezed out of the ranks of the Six by the others.
A hint of coldness flashed in Tiangu's eyes, and he responded lightly: "Then if I don't say it, what does the team leader plan to do to me?" He is not afraid of fighting Tianmeng, because his strength is not inferior to the other party, if he can win this battle, the first position of the Tiangang killer should also be replaced.
Although the Tiangang-level killers of this Dark Key Pavilion are all treated equally on the surface, they have been divided into many rules in private. Of course, it was neither Qi Ling, the old pavilion master, nor Qin Sixteen, the new pavilion master, who separated these "unspoken rules", but these Tiangang-level killers themselves.
The rule set by Qi Ling is that all Tiangang-level killers can enter the stronghold to receive internal tasks, and all tasks are hung on the gold list, and powerful killers can try it.
But in fact, the top six Tiangang-level killers directly occupied the underground stronghold of the Dark Key Pavilion, making the killers at the bottom have to pass them through the task, and they can't enter at all.
For each task, Qi Cheng will take 30% of the commission himself, and the six-person killers in the stronghold will also take 20%, making the killers below miserable.
It doesn't matter if their money is taken by the pavilion master, after all, they have the opportunity to receive such a rich task because they are attached to the Dark Key Pavilion, but the six-person group in the stronghold has to come again, and the draw of these two hands directly reduces the remuneration of the low-level killers by half!
Of course, whether it was Qi Ling in the past or Qin Sixteen now, he knew all this. But so what, as long as the gold-lettered signboard of the Dark Key Pavilion is still there, there will still be an endless stream of guests coming to the door.
The more rich and powerful people are, the more they will have grudges that cannot be resolved, so the market of the Dark Key Pavilion is very large, and there is no shortage of business at all. As the pavilion master, as long as you have a lot of money, how the people below want to play, that's their business, as long as you don't go too far, to the point that no one will take the task.
"If you don't want to be honest," Tian Meng pulled out the long knife on his waist, and said in a calm tone: "Then I have to forcibly escort you back, and then the pavilion master will send you down, this is also for our secret key pavilion!"
"Then we have to see if you have the ability!" Tiangu squeezed out a shrill voice from his throat, and at the same time, the short sword in his sleeve slid into his palm, and he leaned over and rushed towards the oncoming Tianmeng.
Just like the killer group of six who occupy the gold list in the underground stronghold, the first among the Tiangang-level killers also has unusual privileges. Although it has never been recognized by the two pavilion masters, in the hearts of these Tiangang-level killers, there is such an unwritten rule.
In the entire Dark Key Pavilion, in addition to the Pavilion Master, there is another person who can also temporarily call the Tiangang-level killer at the bottom, and this person is Tiankui, because he is the first of all the Tiangang killers, a leader-like existence.
Now that Tiankui is dead, the first name falls on Tianmeng's body, although there are many people who are not convinced, but if Tianmeng defeats Tiangu, who doubts himself, and wins this battle, then the privileges that originally belonged to Tiankui will naturally be inherited by him.
In the same way, if Tiangu defeats Tianmeng, then he will also gain a new power and status.
