Chapter 8: The Assassins
Thanks to the Li family's basic quality education for the eldest son, including eighteen kinds of martial arts, although Li Tian's archery skills have not reached the level of divine marksmanship, they are definitely much better than ordinary people.
However, this still can't change the fact that Li Tian is a waste.
Because the level of divine shooting of a hundred steps is an entry-level for the heirs of other families.
The Tianxiao snake that he just shot was the second prey that Li Tian got his hands on today, and the realm was the meat refining period of the forging body realm, and it belonged to the bottom of the second stage in the five stages of refining skin, refining meat, refining tendons, refining bones, and refining the Great Perfection in the forging body realm.
Wearing resin armor and holding a soul-chasing bow, it was very easy for Li Tian to spend this coming-of-age ceremony.
And before completing his coming-of-age ceremony, there are still eight demon beasts in the Forging Body Realm to kill.
Generally speaking, the coming-of-age ceremony only needs to hunt a demon beast, but Li Tian, as a guy who does not have a little aura in his body, if he is judged by the realm, he is naturally not even a "no", so it stands to reason that Li Tian can make a mistake by killing a beast casually.
Although in recent years, the coming-of-age ceremony has gradually been reduced to a superficial form, and it is no longer as solemn as when the human race and the demon race fought for hegemony, but it can't be such a child's play, and let the son of the city lord of Aoba Castle casually kill the head beast as a ceremony to announce his adulthood, right?
It's not exquisite, it's really not exquisite.
Therefore, after some discussion, Li Tian was told early that he needed to hunt ten Forging Body Realm demon beasts.
Li Tian wanted to laugh a little.
Although Li Tian didn't know what cards his cheap dad was holding and could catch the Infernal Pavilion hidden behind the scenes with the assassination he was about to encounter, the longer he stayed in this Huoyun Mountain, the more his cheap dad could do.
Li Hangu was able to see this, Li Tian was not surprised, but in order to let his bait stay on the hook a little longer, he actually came up with such a high-sounding statement that people couldn't make mistakes at all, Li Tian admired Li Hangu a little.
This was originally a chess game to be played between Li Jiye and Infernal Pavilion.
Li Jiye went first.
When Li Tianming was clearly sent into the Huoyun Mountain Range in the name of the coming-of-age ceremony, and all the people who should have taken care of Li Tian's coming-of-age ceremony were transferred away on the grounds of Li Ke'er's spring hunting, a fragrant bait was freshly baked.
A waste that has been stripped of the protective shell of the family power and has no aura in its body is like a hedgehog that has been flattened with all the spikes, and can only be at the mercy of the hunter.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a trap.
But why not give it a try?
What if you know it's a trap, and what if you know it's going to cost you?
Such a fragrant bait should always be licked up, anyway, judging from the past style of the Infernal Pavilion, those assassins below are just tools to complete the assassination.
The life of a tool man is the least valuable.
So, the moment Li Tian stepped into the Huoyun Mountain Range, an assassination on the bright side began.
However, when Li Tian learned that he needed to slaughter ten Forging Body Realm demon beasts, he found out that there was someone who secretly lost a son in this chess game.
The mission goal of the ten-headed Forging Body Realm Demon Beast was the rope that Li Hangu put on Li Tian's neck, so that Li Tian had no way to be a deserter who could turn around and run away immediately.
Regardless of whether Li Tian was clumsy or really as wasteful as he looked, it was not an easy task just to find the ten demon beasts, let alone kill them one by one.
Even if you jump into a pigsty and slaughter ten pigs, it will take some work, right?
Therefore, there is still a long time, and this good show must be performed for me until the end.
Regarding these tricks played by Li Hangu, Li Tian just smiled contemptuously.
"Xiao Si, where is the next target?"
"Master, the closest demon beast to you is on Cloud Sword Peak. ”
Xiao Si is not human.
According to her, she is an elf formed by the luck of this heaven and earth martial arts.
Humans can only search for enemies with their eyes, but she can directly see through the obstacles and see the martial arts luck hidden in Cloud Sword Peak.
Although he didn't open the full picture plug-in, after clearing part of the fog of war, he Li Tian was not confused!
Don't ask who the enemy is or how many they are, just tell me where the enemy is.
The boy ran quickly through the mountains, through the forest and through the trees, clean and neat, like a forest grass python that had just lifted a small bag on its head, and it was beginning to emerge!
With Xiao Si to help him choose the right opponent, guide him in the right direction, and don't worry about his performance being seen, Li Tian has a rare opportunity to play handsome.
However, what Li Tian didn't expect was that when he came to Cloud Sword Peak, what he encountered was not the expected demon beast, but an assassin waiting for him.
Xiao Si, on the other hand, fell silent.
It was a middle-aged man, dressed in black and masked, sharpening his sword in the cloud-filled Cloud Sword Peak.
Fear.
The fear that got into Li Tian's bones, which could make people's legs so cold that he forgot to tremble, grabbed his whole body so tightly that he had no way to react at all.
It was obviously a blue sky and a white day, and there was only the strange man in front of him, but Li Tian felt in a trance that he was in a sea of thousands of corpses and bones, and all he heard was the wailing of unjust souls.
That's not a sin that can be borne by man.
Even if they are called butchers, executioners, murderers, etc., they cannot change the fact that those wicked people are still "people".
But this human appearance of the alien in front of him, it should not be human at all!
Only a sharp sword stained with countless blood, a butcher's knife that has taken countless lives, and only these real weapons can kill people without emotion like that thing.
"Infernal Pavilion, the eleventh of the first list, the code name is bloodless, and I am here to take your life. ”
After a polite greeting, the Assassin, codenamed Bloodless, picked up the iron sword, which had just been washed of dirt, flicked the blade, and nodded in satisfaction at the sound of the usual melodious ring.
Although it was indeed a good idea to bury his swords in this Huoyun Mountain Range in advance, allowing him to bypass the sight of countless people, even if he awakened this sword spirit projection with the strength of his own body, he would not be noticed.
But the fly in the ointment is that it will stain these swords of his.
Washing swords can be a nuisance.
After the work is done, he has to go to the customer to add money.
Putting aside those distracting thoughts, Wuxue raised an index finger towards Li Tian: "Your Excellency is worth this price, it is quite expensive, so Your Excellency is a distinguished guest of our Infernal Pavilion, according to the rules, I can give your guest a chance to leave a last word." ”
"Master, run away!"
It seemed that he had broken through some prohibition, and Xiao Si's shouting finally entered Li Tian's consciousness, allowing him to break free from the terrifying coercion of the immobilization technique.
Li Tian raised his hand, and with a thought in his heart, the surface of one of the auxiliary beads in the red lotus jade bead bracelet was densely cracked, and the flame aura condensed into a wisp of silk thread shot straight towards the bloodless eyeball, like a laser that could instantly fuse the alloy, slender, but deadly.
