Chapter 293: Assassination
Jiang Cheng didn't take the killer of the night to heart, but Jiang Cheng didn't expect the assassination to come so quickly, he was practicing in the meditation room, and suddenly felt a feeling of palpitations, and the pressure of the golden body gong started.
Immediately, he saw a dagger inserted into his chest, and it really penetrated it, directly breaking through his gangqi, but it was stuck by Jiang Cheng's sternum.
"Golden Bone"
There was an exclamation in mid-air, Jiang Cheng gathered a punch and blasted out, the entire room was blasted out, and a figure spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Who dares to be presumptuous in Taoyuan City"
Zhang Qi's furious voice came, and then a powerful divine sense swept over, and Jiang Cheng's divine sense also swept rapidly.
"Here"
Jiang Cheng punched out again, and a figure fell in mid-air, but it quickly disappeared.
"Invisibility?"
Jiang Cheng frowned, among the many spells of immortal cultivators, there are indeed stealth spells, but they generally can't stop the divine sense scanning, and this person's stealth technique is very powerful.
"Behind you"
"Boom"
As soon as Zhang Qi's voice came, Jiang Cheng was hit by a sword in the back, the golden light flashed, Jiang Cheng hit it with an elbow, and the person behind him was knocked out again.
"I want to go"
Zhang Qi's voice became more and more cold, and the huge divine consciousness was condensed, pressing down like a mountain, and the assassin was forced out of his original form, pressed to the ground and unable to move.
"Jiang Cheng, are you okay?"
Zhang Qi appeared, looked at Jiang Cheng with a dagger in his chest and said.
"I'm fine"
Jiang Cheng said, his heart has been tempered to the half, not to mention that he has not been pierced, even if it is pierced, he will not be able to die, relying on the metamorphosis's recovery ability, he can recover quickly.
"It's okay, the armor must be worn on your body at any time in the future"
Zhang Qi said, Jiang Cheng didn't wear battle armor, otherwise Dong Xuan, who was waiting for leisure, would not be able to break the defense of the mid-grade spirit weapon at all, and there was nothing at all, instead of relying on the golden body to resist.
Jiang Cheng pulled out his dagger and said, "City Lord, what kind of magic weapon is this, you actually ignore my Gang Qi"
"This is a specially refined magic weapon, specializing in breaking through the Gang Qi, shields and other defenses, this dagger is quite valuable"
"Assassins don't have a handful of them."
"What do you think, your dagger is only at the level of a high-grade magic weapon, but its value will not be lower than that of a low-grade spiritual weapon, do you think assassins are so rich?"
"That's just as well"
Jiang Cheng said, special things, the value is naturally different, it is normal to be a little more expensive, if the assassin is rich, then there is no need to be an assassin.
"This assassin, what are you going to do?"
"Lock me up first, ask why you killed me, I don't seem to have offended anyone"
"You've offended fewer people?"
Zhang Qi looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise, young man, are you pretending to be stupid or don't you know, you have killed so many Tianxu Sect Dongxuan, the entire Tianxu Sect is your enemy, you are famous in Tianlan Sect, aren't you also popular?
As he spoke, more people arrived and caught the assassin, and sure enough, it was the woman, although her appearance was very different from before
, but it's almost certain that it's her.
·····
"Can you ask, is there any connection between killing me and that warm jade?"
In the prison of Taoyuan City, the woman was chained, this is made of fine iron, carved a formation, and it is specially designed to deal with immortal cultivators, under the true monarch, there is almost no possibility of escape, Jiang Cheng asked the woman.
"Huh"
The woman sneered in return.
"I asked myself if I didn't offend you, you killed me, I arrested you, this is normal, you and I have a good chat, let me know the reason, I may not let you go, but I can guarantee that you will not suffer"
"Come if you have a kind"
"I know the Assassins will be trained in punishment, but you can't stop my torture, really"
"I'm an assassin, I said that I would die, and if I didn't say it, I would die, what do you think?"
"You know this, so why don't you die happily? I can guarantee that my torture will make you unable to survive and die."
"You're good at it, then."
"That's what you said, Sima Xuan."
"In"
"How many prisoners are in this cell?"
"Not much, there are hundreds of people, there are disciples of the Tianxu Sect, there are loose cultivators who commit crimes, and ordinary mortals"
"How many men are there?"
"Ninety Percent"
"Abolish this woman's cultivation, strip her naked, send her to the prison, the prison door is open, and we just guard the entrance"
"Ahh
Sima Xuan was dumbfounded, looking at Jiang Cheng in horror, he really didn't expect that Jiang Cheng, who looked polite, would be so ruthless, this is too ruthless.
"What to do, you can taste the first bite if you want, you can do it if you want, just don't be dirty"
Jiang Cheng looked at the woman coldly, this woman wanted to kill him for no reason, what happened if he was ruthless, left and right were a death, this was still the first move.
"Yes, Commander"
"Let's get it for three days first, pull it out if it's not dead, dig a pit outside, bury it, and then make a cross knife flower on the head, find some mercury to heat it, and pour it into it along the mouth on the head, then she will feel itchy and unbearable, constantly writhing, and finally climb out of the pit, but when the time comes, the skin will stay in the pit, this is called peeling, such a beautiful woman, the skin must be good-looking, and then find a few craftsmen to tann the skin, I will be useful in the future"
"This, this..."
Sima Xuan and the others felt creepy, their whole body was cold, and they were all shocked when they looked at Jiang Cheng, just now they just felt that Jiang Cheng was ruthless, and now it is a perverted opinion.
"What are you doing in a daze?"
"Don't, I say, what are you going to ask"
Jiang Cheng scolded, and called the dumbfounded assassin back to his senses, Sima Xuan felt that Jiang Cheng was perverted, let alone her, no one could stand this kind of torture.
"Don't surrender, your bones should be harder, because I still have a lot of useless means, don't worry, mortals can live for about three days after skinning, I will let you live for more than a month, and I will give you any expensive elixir."
I thought about what else was fun, and by the way, I heard that if the human hands and feet were frozen by the extreme cold, they could be broken with a light knock, just like stones, so try it when the time comes."
"Don't, you ask, you ask"
"Commander, give her a good time, it sounds weird and scary"
Sima Xuan almost couldn't help but vomit, what kind of pervert is Lord Commander, how can he think of so many things, so cruel.
"Where is this, there are only a few of the ten tortures"
"Top 10 tortures, what could be more ruthless than this?"
"It's a lot, there is a country called Da Wei in the place of abandonment, and there is a prison called Zhao Prison in Da Wei, and the executioners in it have hundreds of kinds of torture, I have listened to what they said, you are not good at learning, I am teaching you"
"I'm taught, but she's already willing to confess, so don't worry about it"
"Are you willing to confess?"
Jiang Cheng said to the assassin, Assassin, aren't you a cow, and he was frightened after a few words.
"What are you going to ask?"
"Name"
"We don't have names, only code names"
"What's the code name?"
"Shadow"
"This code name is quite apt, let's say, why kill me"
"I have an elder brother, who was taken in by the night with me since he was a child, trained together since he was a child, we depend on each other, not long ago, he disappeared, and that warm jade was given to him by me"
"So you think I killed your brother, so you want revenge?"
"Yes"
"Didn't I tell you, I killed someone from the Tianxu Sect, and I got it from the storage bag of the disciple of the Tianxu Sect, wait, your brother, won't you be a disciple of the Tianxu Sect?"
Jiang Cheng was a little angry, this woman was stupid, she said that he killed the disciples of the Tianxu Sect, but as soon as he turned his head, Jiang Cheng reacted, it could not be the disciple of the Tianxu Sect or her brother.
"I don't know, but it's possible that we trained from a young age, but then a group of people were picked out, and then we met, and my brother didn't tell me what his identity was"
"What about you, what identity do you usually use to meet people?"
"Loose cultivation, waiting for the mission to be dispatched from above"
"So this time to assassinate me, it was not ordered by the night, it was you who wanted to kill me"
"Yes"
"Sima Xuan, you continue to ask, dig out all the information in the dark night, she dares not to say it, just do what I say"
Jiang Cheng handed over the rest of the matter to Sima Xuan, and he got out of the prison and came to the City Lord's Mansion, where Zhang Qi had been listening with his divine sense.
"Jiang Cheng, I didn't expect you to be ruthless enough"
"Just to scare her"
"Are those punishments false?"
"Really, it was implemented in the Forsaken Land, and then when I came to power, I abolished most of it"
Jiang Cheng said that the punishment of Zhao Prison was far more terrible than what Jiang Cheng said, and after he took the throne, he really abolished most of it, and he asked that the interrogation should be based on attacking the heart, supplemented by punishment, and pay attention to a little skill.
However, Jiang Cheng didn't guarantee that if that shadow still dared to die to the end, he would not really let Sima Xuan do it.
"You're Kind"
"City Lord, I think this thing is very suspicious"
"What do you perceive?"
"What the assassin said, his brother was taken away very early, I suspect that the Tianxu Sect and the Dark Night Organization have a connection, and it is a close cooperation, I studied the battle of the White Horse Mountain, at that time, the Yunteng Patriarch had already led the crowd into the interior of the White Horse Mountain, and the disciples of the Tianxu Sect suffered heavy casualties, and later the killing array rose inside the White Horse Mountain, and hundreds of black guards were killed outside, it stands to reason that the black guards of the Tianxu Sect did not have so many people."
Jiang Cheng said, the black guard is similar to the secret guard, responsible for spying intelligence, rebellion, assassination, and other various work, there must be more than a few hundred personnel, but there are not so many people in the action team, don't they have to do anything else?
"Do you suspect that there was a night among the Darkguards?"
"Yes, I used to be in the Lost Land, and I was also in control of the intelligence organization, I know this structure very well, if the Tianxu Sect could mobilize hundreds of black guard elites at that time, then the scale of his black guard would be at least more than 10,000 people, and I heard that the formation time of the black guard is still under the dark guard, only about 100 years, and the financial resources of the Tianxu Sect are not very many, where did the resources come from to cultivate so many people"
"Seeing the subtleties, you are very good, I will report the situation to the sect, and the sect will decide"
Zhang Qi nodded, Jiang Cheng's suspicion was justified, if the Heavenly Void Sect could raise ten thousand black guards, wouldn't the Lan Sect have to go to heaven that day?
