First act

Heaven and earth are born, and all things are clear. Its illusion, its truth, its cut. All are fixed numbers, all are fates, all are born of heaven and earth, raised by heaven and earth, and broken by heaven and earth. Reincarnation from generation to generation, year after year. Life to life, life to death. I don't know who decided it. Ronghua, Qi Bei, I don't know who ordered it. All things, all things have first gained wisdom and prosperity, who built it?

The sun was setting as it was approaching, and a stream of water flowed out of the mountain stream. The girl by the river was dressed in a light-colored cloth robe and a dark red skirt, and played with a willow branch in her hand. With a shallow smile on his plain face, he looked at two or three sheep not far away. The town not far away looks vicissitudes and depths in the afterglow of the setting sun.

When the sun was about to set, the girl whistled and called the sheep home. When he turned the woods, he suddenly saw a man in black lying by the stream, and the water was crystal clear. Blood was also spilling from the side, staining the surroundings red. The girl was taken aback and hurriedly ran over to check. It was a young man, with a slightly delicate face and bloodless face, and a body that was not fat but unusually heavy. The peasant girl was not a weak woman, so she had to find a few elder brothers to carry him back to the town......

Five days ago, the Shadow Pavilion Enforcement Order Distribution Office.

Duan Ming looked at the Xuan-level Ling in his hand and was stunned for a moment. The people around him also began to whisper, and at the same time, they were secretly surprised. The execution order is divided into four levels, and each level is divided into three levels. Duan Ming had only executed the yellow-level order before, and even the third-class yellow rank had not been executed, but now he was sent to execute the Xuan-level order that was different in nature. It stands to reason that the executor has the right to give up the task and choose on his own, but Duan Ming cannot...... Because his father, Duan Tianya, is the master of the Shadow Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master Duan is really ruthless, how can there be a child who can't be really angry to execute the Xuan-level order."

"It's not like even a 'madman' is only a third-class."

"Hehe, I think it's the Duan Pavilion Master, but I can't see my son being crushed by a 'madman'."

-- "Crazy" Li Jiang is the child brought up by Duan Ming's father for his friend. When I was eleven years old, I came back from a mission and lost my mind and was in a daze for a while. Later, Duan Ming's father took Li Jiang out for a trip, but he didn't know what he had experienced, and when he came back, he practiced martial arts like crazy, until now. Since then, people have been called "madmen". A month ago, Li Jiang beautifully performed a yellow-level third-class, and in people's eyes, he temporarily surpassed Duan Ming. ――

At this time, Jiang Lao, Jiang Yu, who issued the task, seemed to be unable to hear the criticism of others. Calmly and solemnly, he said, "Two days to prepare, and today I will recite the "Mind Cultivation Decision". The Pavilion Master orders you to set off the day after tomorrow. ”

Duan Ming glanced down at the Xuan-level order, and the copper-colored Xuanzi was impressively printed on the token. He let out a long breath and a playful smile as if to say, "Kill me, stupid." In fact, all he said was, "Yes."

On the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month, Duan Ming had to memorize several practical books such as "Treasures", "Strange Beasts" and "Ten Thousand Weapons List", but "Mind Cultivation Tips" did not work. Duan Ming once asked his father the reason, but his father just stared at him seriously, and Duan Ming honestly recited it.

Overnight quenching of the medicinal liquid......

Duan Ming went to the Shadow Intelligence Office the next day to check the target information: Wang Lusheng, male, age 32, leader of the 7th branch of the Wang family, brother of the third lady of the Wang family, and cultivated in the realm of luck. Take charge of the third way of importing the royal family's weapons. The Wang family, the head of the family, Wang Luoxian, is a subordinate clan of Huofeng Mountain, one of the ten major forces in the Spirit Land Continent.

Duan Ming frowned, who was it this time? Duan Ming has absolute confidence, believing that he will not be discovered by the Wang family. Carrying out tasks is arrogant and frivolous, the second taboo of the "Killer Manual". Yes, Duan Ming is a killer, and the Shadow Pavilion is a killer organization.

At dusk, Duan Ming changed into a night suit. Hidden outside Wang Lusheng's mansion, three poles on the moon......

The lights outside Wang Lusheng's mansion were still bright, as if he knew that this night was not peaceful. Duan Ming found a blind spot in the corner of the wall, got up and jumped and turned over to the courtyard. Under the cover of the shadow of the tree, he came to the front of the house in the house and buried himself in the bushes.

A group of people passed, and Duan Ming jumped to the side window, poked a hole in the window with his finger and saw the scene inside.

"Sir, it's late at night. A woman said respectfully beside her.

Wang Lusheng didn't speak, his rough hand raised and waved.

"Sir!"

"You go first. "His voice was hoarse and old, not at all like a man in his thirties.

The woman said no more and withdrew.

With a squeak, Duan Ming opened the window and crossed into the house. The two looked at each other.

"I didn't expect the Shadow Pavilion to really send a kid. ”

Duan Ming was secretly shocked, "You know it's my Shadow Pavilion!"

Wang Lusheng stood up, and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. "It's a pity of ignorance. Wang Lusheng's face was expressionless.

"Then I can't keep you. Duan Ming didn't say much, and as soon as the long sword came out, he galloped away. The sound of swords rubbing against each other sounded in ping-pong. In a confrontation, Duan Ming was injured. "Do you want to fight to the death when you come up?"

Wang Lusheng's face was also bloodless, and his long sword was broken into two. This was beyond Duan Ming's imagination.

"Do you have any reservations for those who are about to die?"

"How do you know I'm going to kill you?"

"Hahahaha" Wang Lusheng laughed, "You can't kill me, but it's not you who want to kill me." ”

Duan Ming was even more confused, from the smooth entry at the beginning, to the sword that broke with one slash, and Wang Lusheng's inexplicable words.

His heart became a little scared, he didn't know what would happen, he could only solve this task quickly.

Again he raised his sword and rushed towards the heart on the left side of Wang Lusheng's chest. In Duan Ming's long sword stabbed Wang Lusheng

On the left chest, blood was pouring out of the chest. Duan Ming wanted to turn around and draw his sword and leave, but Wang Lusheng hurriedly said, "Don't you doubt?"

"What?"

"It's easy, isn't it? You think you can kill me?"

"Why not? It's not difficult to kill you without being really angry. ”

"Huh. What a naΓ―ve child. You still haven't learned what your father taught you. As he spoke, he suddenly took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed straight into Duan Ming's chest. "You're still too young. ”

Duan Ming was dumbfounded, obviously his heart was broken, why did he still have the strength to hold the sword!? Duan Ming suddenly remembered something, and reluctantly threw out the dagger hidden in his sleeve with his left hand and stabbed it directly into Wang Lusheng's right chest, webbed, blood splashed everywhere. Wang Lusheng's eyes were suddenly glazed, and he was already dead. Sure enough, his heart was on the right.

This is, two teams of people rushed into the house, Duan Ming pulled out the dagger on his chest, charged his strength and flew through the roof, just with his feet, and arrows flew in the sky from all directions
