Chapter Eighty-Eight: New Skills
Thirteen killed the man and woman in the bed, and was in a depressed mood. After wiping the blood from the dagger, he "escaped" out of the "bedroom".
Twelve had dragged the bodies of the three guards to the "living room" to hide. He asked Thirteen in a low voice, "Do you know the location?"
"Nope. β
"How many people?"
"Two. β
"Don't want to say it?"
"Yes. β
"Why don't you say it?"
"Not afraid of death. β
"He who is not afraid of death, must be allowed to die. β
"Already killed. β
"Why is it so long?"
"You have to give them time to think about it. β
"Consider what?"
"Consider the preciousness of life. β
"Give them time to think about it, let alone say it. Only under intimidation can the truth be obtained. β
"Hmm. Go next door and find someone who is afraid of death, and ask him. β

A small inn near the South Gate, "South Gate Laughter House", in a low-class guest room.
Mao and Wen are fighting, not a literary fight, but a martial fight.
The big man surnamed Liu said in his heart: It's already four watches, these two Qi refining cultivators have been fighting for so long, they must be insane. Hmph, in the year of the catastrophe, only the neurotic spared no money and invited a group of us to dinner.
And they could not sleep peacefully, and they dared not speak in anger.
The two Great Qi Refining Masters fought in the cramped room, and the room was filled with air currents and strong winds, and the scene was enough to shock everyone. Everyone didn't even dare to let out a fart, where did they dare to persuade them to stop fighting.
During the fight, Wen Dao said, "Haha...... Brother, don't crush the bed. β
Both of them were far from their beds, engaged in a more restrained fight.
Mao Daochang's body descended from the mountain and pounced on Wen Daochang, his left hand was vigorous and agile, defending his own face, and his right hand was like a dragon out of the water, attacking Wen Daochang's left side.
Wen Daochang hurriedly moved his body to the right, dodged Mao Daochang's right hand, took the opportunity to pinch Mao Daochang's hand, pulled a belt, and dragged Mao Daochang to a stumbling side.
Mao Daochang was furious, his momentum skyrocketed, and with a punch of huge strength, he smashed into Wen Daochang's face.
Wen Daochang sideways his head to avoid the blow, but his ears were swept by the fist wind, and it was so hot that it hurt.
Seeing that Senior Brother was so ruthless, Daochang Wen couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Huh, Huh" two punches arrived again, Wen Daochang jumped upward, and kicked out with his left and right feet at the same time.
Feet to fists. There were two loud bangs, and Mao and Wen both grinned in pain.
Wen Daochang was in the air, flipped back out of thin air, and hit the wall with his back, he was not angry, he had an idea, jumped up, and directly pressed his body against Mao Daochang.
Wen Daochang's style of play is a trick, he knows that Mao Daochang can bombard him, but this kind of bombardment will hurt both sides.
Mao Daochang is a senior brother, and he can't help but think about the consequences. He resisted the qi in time, and between him and Wen Daochang, a thick air isolation "wall" was erected.
Wen Daochang was separated by the "wall" and still pressed against Mao Daochang. Mao Dao dodged and hit the bed backwards, hit the bed, and couldn't hit it with all his strength, otherwise the side bed would be shattered.
No, Mao Daochang could only retreat until he sat on the bed. However, "crunch", "tom", the plank on which Mao Daochang sat broke off.
"Haha...... Didn't you say that? Senior brother, you ended up crushing the bed board. β
Mao Daochang was quite embarrassed and kept silent.
Mao and Wen fought on both sides of Li Xiao, and the fierce sound of imperial qi made Li Xiao nervous.
Listening to the terrifying sounds, under the influence of the air currents and strong winds, Li Xiao was exhausted, had a splitting headache, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse.
The extremes of things must be reversed, and the critical point of patience has passed. Under the influence of external pressure, Li Xiao's brain released the spiritual power rapidly enhanced, and the external factors acted through the internal factors, and the quantitative changes caused the qualitative changes, and Li Xiao obtained a new skill - "super hearing".
Li Xiao exhaled a long breath, and suddenly felt refreshed, he looked at Mao and Wen who were on the front side of his left and right, and said, "Listen, there is the sound of horses' hooves!"
Li Xiao's ability to condense qi into a ball, and being able to condense qi into a ball is a sign of a first-order qi refiner. However, Li Xiao's realm of a first-order qi refining cultivator was a bit "watery".
Li Xiao learned the ability to shrink bones, has slight night vision, and once performed a "floating in the air". "Floating in the Air" is one of the skills of a fourth-order qi refiner.
The fourth-order Qi Refiner's skill also has "Super Hearing". Li Xiao's "super hearing" comes from the Red Snow Divine Pill that he has eaten.
Mao and Wen had an unpleasant quarrel, Mao Daochang folded the bed board again, and it was the embarrassing time, Li Xiao's words relieved him.
Everyone listened attentively, and Mao and Wen also began to perceive the sound of probing a little farther away. Mao, Wen Wen and Li Xiao heard a lot of horses' hooves on the official road outside the south gate, and the sound of horses' hooves, which was supposed to be rattling, was very dull and not very loud, and it was expected that the horses' hooves were tied with cloth for sound reduction.
Qi refining cultivators above the fourth order can perceive the outside world with the help of air fluctuations. Some Qi cultivators may not have very good eyesight, but their hearing is definitely superb.
With experience, Mao Daochang judged that the people who entered the city were all in the middle and late stages of cohesion, and there were five people in total.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and stopped near the south gate of Yuanyang City, and divided into two groups, one group of three people, and the other group of two people. The group of three people rode horses and made a detour along the periphery of Yuanyang City. The group of two men bolted their horses to a hidden place, and after successfully evading the surveillance of the guards on the tower of the city gate, they quietly came to the south gate, and they were just about to sneak in through the small gate, when they heard a man whisper: "I have been waiting for you for a long time." β
"Who are you?"
"Eleven. β
"Is the mission accomplished?"
"Who are you?"
"Two hundred and fifty-one. "Two hundred and fifty-two. The two replied.
"It turned out to be two hundred and five's men. β
"Do you have a code for joint operations?"
Eleven said: "People from the Yanjiang River are only ashamed." β
"The eagle flying high in the sky is close to the sky. "The code is right.
"Did your people get it?"
"It's been in for a long time. β
"No news yet?"
"No news, that's good news. β
"That is, there is still hope for the completion of the mission?"
"Yes. β
"It seems dangerous here. β
"I just killed a couple of guards who came to take over. β
"The guards on the gate tower could come down at any moment. β
"Usually they don't come down. β
"Why?"
"It's cool upstairs. β
Two hundred and fifty-one and two hundred and fifty-two smiled slightly and said, "Don't say much." What's the information?"
The informant said that the Yuanyang Guard had less than 40 percent of the troops, only 2,000 men, and that the city defense battalion had a shortage of about 50 percent of the soldiers. β
"How reliable is the information?"
"Ninety percent. β
"What is the success rate of assassination?"
"Ninety percent. β
"Very well, I'll report back right away. β
As he was talking, two guards came together, they were supposed to come to change shifts on the third watch, but they came late, and they came slowly after nearly five watches. Before they could figure out the situation, they died under Eleven's short knife. One of them died the most normal of all waysβslitting his throat and slicing an arteryβand the other died an ugly death, with Eleven's short knife plunged into his right eye, all the way to the back of his head.
Two hundred and fifty-one and two hundred and fifty-two received the verbal information, and when they found the horses, they galloped south.
