Chapter 3 Try Your Quality
"What kind of boundary is this?"
"Huh?"
After listening to Xu Yue's question, the ghost was stunned for a moment, but just after hesitating, the big hand on his neck tightened again, and the feeling of suffocation and tingling came simultaneously, as if his neck would be squeezed into a mess of mud in the next second.
"Xuan... Military... Country... West County, Xing... Yang cheng. ”
It wasn't until he struggled to say the answer Xu Yue wanted that the bruised ghost brake felt the iron hoop in his throat loosen slightly, and a series of dry coughing sounds erupted from his mouth.
"Ahem, ahem......"
As the oxygen poured into his shriveled lungs, his tense hands hung limply, leaving blood on his silver arm.
"I won't ask the same question a second time."
"Why kill this family."
Xu Yue's question sounded again, and for the first time, Ghost Brake experienced what a demon whisper was, and this time he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment.
"Assassin's bounty order, I came here from the assassin's bounty order, and someone spent money to buy the lives of the entire Xu family."
"You're the only one?"
"Yes, I'm the only one at the moment, but after my mission fails, more Assassins will come here."
"Where is the Assassin Order's mission?"
"Seventh Hidden Street, Assassin's Tavern."
"What does it take to become an Assassin?"
"Just go to the tavern and register, no conditions are required."
…………
Ten minutes later, in the question and answer between the two sides, Xu Yue quickly learned all the information he wanted from the ghost brake.
Under this fast-paced rhythm of questioning, Onisha didn't even have time to think, and almost relied on instinct to answer quickly.
The slightest hesitation, or pause, will be confronted by Xu Yue's rapidly tightening palm, in this case, Xu Yue believes that the possibility of the assassin in his hand can still tell lies is extremely low.
"I've answered honestly, spare my life, I can take you there......... Ahhhh ”
In the courtyard, before the words of the ghost brake fell, the golden-red flames had risen upward, completely engulfing it, and the terrible screams continued to echo.
In just a few breaths, the humanoid torch in Xu Yue's hand had disappeared, and silence returned to the courtyard.
After the golden-red pure yang flame burned out the ghost brake, instead of extinguishing, it boiled even more, and the color also changed from golden red to demonic purple.
With the combination of Burning Technique and Talent, Flame and Pure Yang Flame can be transformed into each other, which means that as long as there are enough enemies, his flames are almost endless.
Of course, driving flames also requires the cost of mana, but this amount is very small compared to generating flames.
Putting the large piece of fire in front of him into his body, Xu Yue slapped away the remaining black ashes on his palm, and instead of disgust, there was a trace of joy in his eyes.
"The strength is not strong, but the quality of the fire produced is good, is it because of the internal strength of martial arts?"
"Xuanwu Country, what a good place."
In the previous Dragon Nest world, most of the quality of the fire produced by those monsters was average, and most of them were consumed in the Black Dragon War.
As a result, his fire income was not high, and he used up all the fires in the park, and only then did he complete the upgrading and forging of Fang Tian's painting halberd.
But this world is different, a not too strong two hundred foreign assassins.
The fires produced were quite good, and he was looking forward to the quality of the fires that would be produced by the top 100, or even the seven Shadow Assassins.
"Good firewood..."
After muttering a word, the purple in Xu Yue's eyes slowly faded, and he indifferently glanced at the tragic situation of the corpses all over him, and with a flick of his right hand, the golden-red flames spread out, turning everything around him into a sea of fire, corpses, vegetation, and buildings were swallowed inch by inch by the boiling flames.
Xu Yue stood in the middle of the sea of fire, watching coldly as everything around him slowly turned into black ash in the flames.
The Xuanwu Kingdom is respected for its strength, here, the Assassin organization is even recognized by the imperial court, and it is possible to open a shop openly, and the Assassin is no longer an identity that needs to be kept secret, as long as you do not carry out large-scale massacres and do not openly commit treason, no one will punish you.
In this country where everyone practices martial arts, only strong strength is the only reliance.
Since the main quest is to be the strongest, he doesn't mind being a little more high-profile.
Under the cold moonlight, the raging flames lasted for several minutes, and the soaring golden fireworks also attracted the attention of many powerful people in this small city.
Black shadows came from all directions, standing on the eaves, roofs, and walls near the Xu Mansion, revealing their figures, all of them were famous people dressed in ancient costumes, carrying various kinds of blades, looking like the figures of ancient chivalrous warriors.
On this continent, only the people of the Xuanwu Kingdom will still live this kind of life like the ancients, even if other countries on the continent have developed networks and convenient technology, but the Xuanwu Kingdom continues to maintain the dress of the ancients, and excludes all modern electrical appliances from entering their country.
After arriving near the fire, none of these knights chose to go down to put out the fire, but frowned and looked at the terrifying golden-red flame in front of them, and whispers came from time to time.
"Such a terrifying temperature, and this breath like the sun, what kind of flame is this?"
"Senior brother, aren't we going to put out the fire?"
"Look closely, although this sea of fire is fierce, it is only burning in the mansion, but it has not violated the walls on all sides, which is obviously driven by someone."
"Flame Gate? Jiuyang Sect? No, that group of people can't drive a flame of this intensity, could it be that they are the Burning Man Country's powerhouses? ”
"I remember that Xu Fu was ordered to be slaughtered yesterday, who took the task?"
"It seems to be a ghost brake, although the strength is not weak, but it has definitely not reached this level."
………
Amid the conversation of the spectators, the sea of fire in the mansion began to slowly shrink, and a series of clear footsteps came from the main entrance, and everyone turned their eyes one after another.
I saw that the surging flames suddenly ignited on the closed gate, but in just a few breaths, the wide vermilion gate had been swallowed up by the flames, and a tall figure dressed in a wolf's hair was lingering in the flames, walking out of the gate.
Xu Mansion was born as a businessman, although the family was prosperous, but because there were no famous martial arts powerhouses in the mansion, the location of the mansion was quite deserted.
It is precisely because of its remote location that after the sea of fire rose, it did not cause much turmoil except for attracting some strong people with fast feet.
After stepping through the gate with only a broken threshold left, what appeared in front of Xu Yue was a somewhat depressed street, he walked to the middle of the street and stood still, raised his head and swept over the group of spectators above him, and said lightly:
"Do any of you know which direction the Hidden Street is?"
Xu Yue's question spread, but none of the spectators standing on the eaves roof took the lead in answering, and the scene was stalemate for a moment before a strong man with his hands on his chest asked Xu Yue.
"Go to Hidden Street, you're an assassin?"
"Soon it will be."
After listening to Xu Yue's answer, the strong man's brows wrinkled visibly, and he continued to ask:
"Since it's not now, then what did you do by setting fire to the entire Xu family?"
"Collect the body."
"Collecting corpses?"
The strong man repeated Xu Yue's answer, as if he realized something, and looked over the wall to look at the huge Xu Mansion where there was only a piece of scorched earth left.
"Oh, so you have already killed the Onisha?"
Just as the two of them were asking and answering, a cold male voice interspersed in, and Xu Yue looked at the source of the voice.
The speaker was dressed in a blood-colored robe, standing with his hands on the eaves, without a blade on his body, and after seeing Xu Yue looking over, his scarlet eyes were emitting a faint blood light in the dark night, staring at Xu Yue's movements.
"Killed, are you?"
Xu Yue replied with a cold expression.
"84th on the Assassin Rankings, Bloody."
"Oh, by the way, let's be the senior brother of the ghost brake you just killed."
Blood's tone was calm, but a faint blood-colored mist began to overflow all around him.
"Whew!"
There were a few soft whistles abruptly in the silent street, followed by a crisp metal crash, and several blood-colored needles fell one after another on the stone bricks in front of Xu Yue.
After rolling twice, the needle melted into a blood-colored solution, corroding a small pit in the stone brick.
Xu Yue put down his right hand, which had quietly turned silver, and it was this right hand that blocked the thin needle that had struck secretly.
Glancing at the pit on the stone brick in front of him, he looked up at the bloody face that was a little ugly, and his originally indifferent eyes were a little more interested.
"Compared to your junior brother, you have some ability."
"Hmph, King Kong is not bad, the mainland goods of Shi Gengguo are just good, let me try your color."
