One night half a month later.

To the west of Chang'an City, Hejiazhuang is 100 miles away.

Just when the owner of the village, He Sibo, and his son He Fan, returned on horseback with a team of thugs on the village. Suddenly, a palpitating blue light fell from the sky.

The blue light is as fast as lightning, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Be careful. ”

Horn Bo found the crisis and looked up to the sky and screamed desperately.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the blue light swept across his neck at an incredible speed, and then circled around his son, and the heads of the two flew up in the air, and their bodies fell off the horse's back.

"Oh no, no, the old master and the young master were killed......"

The surrounding Zhuang Ding shouted loudly in horror and fled one after another, and the scene was chaotic.

At this time, the killer who killed He Sibo and his son was in a hurry to the prepared position, stepped on a white horse, and fled calmly.

The killer was dressed in black, almost blending in with the night, and only after running for more than ten miles did he lift the masked turban.

Looking at the face, it is Li Yan.

He remembered the scene of killing Horsberg, and he was faintly excited.

"The flying knife sneak attack, it is really powerful, and without a sound, it kills a ninth-layer master of the mortal realm, although I can also kill this person with one move. But compared to the level of ease, there are still throwing knives that are better. ”

As he spoke, he took out a blue flying knife, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and the flying knife turned into a blue light, spinning around him.

The speed of blue light is terrifying, leaving more than a dozen afterimages in the air, which is very beautiful in the night.

Seeing that he was urging the flying knife as he wanted, it was obvious that he had already refined this magic weapon.

In March last year, he violently occupied the wife of the villager Meng, and Meng's wife would rather die than commit suicide, and Meng was also crippled by He Sibo's thugs, and died three days later...... In June this year, his son He Fan snatched another villager's ancestral jade....... This father and son are full of evil, and the bounty price in the dark star is 500 gold ......"

In Li Yan's heart, he silently read these news.

"After doing this single assassination, I can be promoted to a three-star killer, only a three-star killer can take on the task of assassinating a strong person in the Heavenly Realm. ”

Under the moonlit night.

The wind-chasing horse galloped towards Chang'an City, and Li Yan was also thinking about planning in his heart.

It turned out that on that day, the result of the discussion between the Blood Sea Demon Lord and him was to be a killer and increase his strength by assassinating the wanted Heavenly Realm powerhouse and absorbing the power of the Blood Yuan.

On the one hand, there are generally few good people who are assassinated by a bounty, and many of them are wanted criminals, on the other hand, as a killer, his identity is extremely secret, and even if it is a killer organization, it may not know his true identity.

"The most prestigious killer organization in Chang'an City, called Dark Star, is also the top in the Great Song Dynasty. I joined the Dark Star Organization and became a killer. Although I have the strength of the Heavenly Realm, I must also start from the lowest one-star killer, so far, I have killed six Mortal Realm Eighth Layer, Seven Mortal Realm Ninth Layer, and Mortal Realm Seventh Layer Nine People, and completed more than 20 tasks, with a 100% success rate. According to the rules of Dark Star, I killed He Sibo today, and the accumulated points are enough to be promoted to a three-star killer. After all, only a three-star killer can take on the task of assassinating the Heavenly Realm. ”

In the past half a month, he has been running non-stop, running around, killing more than twenty high-level existences in the mortal realm, but the power of the blood yuan provided is only one-third faster than his own cultivation, plus the time wasted, it is a little uncost-effective.

After consulting the Blood Sea Demon Lord, I knew that he was now cultivating in the Heavenly Realm, and absorbing the power of the blood element of the mortal realm would only dilute his originally extremely condensed Jin Jiao True Qi, although the overall amount of True Qi would increase, but it would be necessary to continue to condense in the future, and there would be more energy wasted, so it was better to directly absorb the blood element power of the Heavenly Realm powerhouse.

During this time, Li Yan was also familiar with the two abilities of the Heavenly Realm powerhouse, the Void Retention and True Qi Materialization, and he could already use them proficiently.

In addition to this, when he entered the Heavenly Realm, the blood imprint on his palms also changed.

That is, the speed of refining the power of the blood element has been greatly enhanced, and in addition, he has discovered several other wonderful uses of the blood seal.

For example, the breath simulation, he can simulate another extremely dangerous aura through the blood mark, so that anyone who sees him wearing a mask will not be associated with him.

There is also the incarnation of blood shadow.

This kind of small trick makes his whole body shrouded in a bloody shadow, without substantial attack power, and when used with the simulated breath, he can perfectly transform into another person.

In addition to the above two auxiliary functions, the most useful is poisoning.

Poisoning not only allows him to be invulnerable, but also allows him to refine blood poison from the power of the Blood Element.

The toxicity of blood poison, even if it is contaminated by a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, it is difficult to eradicate it quickly.

The original words of the Blood Sea Demon Lord were like this: "The blood mark I gave you Demon Lord is my unique mark, how can it only be useful for sucking blood, it's just that your strength is too poor to play these wonderful uses." ”

When Li Yan heard this, he could only smile bitterly.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

When the morning dawn came, Li Yan appeared in the south of Chang'an City, an abandoned ghost mansion.

The haunted house is quite dilapidated, ancient, full of withered yellow weeds, the corners and eaves are covered with cobwebs, and when the wind blows, there is a whining sound from nowhere, which looks eerie.

The Dark Star Killer organization's stronghold in Chang'an City is here.

After three blinks, the black door made a "branch" and "branch" sound, and it was opened from the inside.

A rickety figure with a ghost head mask appeared from behind the door, saw that it was Li Yan, gestured with his chin, and then opened a crack in the door and let Li Yan in.

At this time, Li Yan also wore a red fox mask on his face, and followed behind the ghost mask.

The two went straight to the backyard of the ghost house and walked to a rockery.

There are many mechanisms in the rockery, there are many doors, the ghost head mask leads the way in front, Li Yan follows very cautiously, and his footsteps are also the same pace as the ghost head mask.

After half a pillar of incense, they came to a secret room under the rockery.

The one who received Li Yan was replaced by a burly figure wearing a bull's head mask.

This person is none other than his connector in the Dark Star Organization, the bull head.

The chamber was rudimentary, dimly lit, with the bull head sitting at a black wooden table with several chairs across from it.

"Bull Head, I have completed the task of assassinating He Sibo, and I have not brought the head, but with the ability of your dark star, I believe that I will receive the news in less than two hours. ”

Li Yan unceremoniously pulled over a wooden chair and sat down with a grin, his eyes wide, and his attitude was very arrogant.

This kind of behavior is also in line with his arrogance as a master of the Heavenly Realm, if he is too polite, people will think that he has no confidence.

"Brother Lieyang is really polite, your ability, I still know, with your Heavenly Realm skills, these one-star and two-star tasks are just a piece of cake for you. Then these are your rewards, please laugh at them. ”

Niu Tou said, took out five golden tickets from under the table, and put them on the table.

These golden tickets, the golden tickets issued by the royal family of the Great Song Kingdom, can be exchanged for gold in any big city in this country, and they are absolutely guaranteed.

Li Yan didn't look at it, took the golden ticket into his arms, and said, "Then I can take on a three-star assassination mission now, right?"

The scorching sun is his title in the Dark Star Organization.

According to the regulations of the Dark Star Organization, every killer must have a title, and cannot use a real name.

"Of course. This is the task list of all the Heavenly Realm powerhouses now, all here, as a three-star killer, you can choose at will,"

Niu Tou chuckled, took out an assassination list from his arms, and showed it to Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at them one by one, there were twenty-three three-star missions, and there were five near Chang'an City alone, and the first one was the task of assassinating Zhu Jianwen.

On the task list, there is also information about Zhu Jianwen.

"Zhu Jianwen, one of the three major families, is the fifth elder of the Zhu family, and his strength is in the middle of the Heavenly Realm. The assassination reward is: a three-ear pot with a low-grade magic weapon, 200,000 gold, and five spirit crystals. Evaluation: This person is extremely dangerous, and there have been four three-star killers who have failed to assassinate Zhu Jianwen, please choose carefully. ”

"Zhu Jianwen, a member of the Zhu family, do you want to take on this task?"

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he measured the strength comparison between him and Zhu Jianwen in his heart.

"It stands to reason that Zhu Jianwen is in the middle of the Heavenly Realm, and I am not his opponent, but I have a magic weapon flying knife in my hand, but I don't know if Zhu Jianwen has it. Zhu Jianwen, as an important member of the Zhu family, must have magic weapons, so my advantage is the blood seal. Also, I'm in the shadows, I just need to assassinate this person, and I don't need to fight him head-on. ”

"In that case, that's the task. ”

After thinking about it, Li Yan no longer hesitated, gave the list to Niu Tou, and said, "I want to take the first task." ”

"Are you sure?"

The bull head glanced at Li Yan in surprise.

The first task on the assassination list is Zhu Jianwen, and he doesn't need to read it to know it.

This task is very tricky, and many killers are unwilling to take it, on the one hand, Zhu Jianwen's strength is not weak, whether he can kill him is a question, on the other hand, if the Zhu family knows who killed Zhu Jianwen, then this killer will also face the Zhu family's want.

"Yes, that's the task. Li Yan nodded, his tone unquestionable.

Others are afraid of Zhu Jianwen, but he is not afraid.

From childhood to adulthood, the education he received was that the Zhu family was the number one enemy of the Li family, and if he encountered the people of the Zhu family, he must destroy the other party without mercy.

"Please wait a minute, Zhu Jianwen's information, we will send it to you immediately. ”

Niu Tou didn't persuade Li Yan again, he was just a connector, since Li Yan accepted this task, then whether Li Yan was dead or alive had nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, if Li Yan killed Zhu Jianwen, he would still have a large commission.

The bull head left in a hurry, and soon came back, holding an envelope in his hand, and said: "Zhu Jianwen thought that he was hiding very secretly, but it was not found by our Dark Star spies, to you, this is his current address." You have to be careful, this person is extremely dangerous, our Dark Star has assassinated him many times, but without success, he will definitely guard against us. ”

Li Yan opened the envelope, and a note fell out of it, he picked it up and looked at it twice, and said in a strange tone: "He found a good place, but unfortunately he was still found." Don't worry, I just can't kill him, and I have the strength to escape. ”

After speaking, Li Yan didn't say hello and left the Dark Star stronghold.

It didn't take long for another figure to walk into the room, and the dim light reflected an old face, it was the Li family's housekeeper, Zhou Yong.

"Niu Tou, do you think this scorching sun can kill Zhu Jianwen?"

Zhou Yong asked in a deep voice, and he seemed quite familiar with the bull head.

"It's hard to say, this person was promoted to a three-star killer in half a month, which is still rare among the killers I have experienced in the past few years. However, his strength is only in the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, and there is still a little difference between him and Zhu Jianwen. ”

Niu Tou shook his head, not optimistic about Li Yan.

Zhou Yong stared at the direction Li Yan left, and said to himself: "Lieyang, Lieyang, this person claims to be Lieyang, which means the scorching sun, then he must be extremely confident, I think he can still succeed." ”

"I've listened to your description, this person seems to be eager to take on a three-star mission, and it seems that assassinating the existence of the Heavenly Realm is extremely important to him. Moreover, even if the assassination of the scorching sun is not successful, this Zhu Jianwen will be hunted down again and again, and he will be injured, and when the time comes, our Li family will send another elite to kill him. However, if Lieyang can assassinate this person, it would be better, lest our Li family make a big move. ”

"That's what you always say. ”

Niu Tou smiled dryly, it was the uncle who gave the money, so he would not quarrel with Steward Zhou on this kind of thing.
