Chapter 37: The Moon of Killing
"Father, what do they want? Split Yuan Hu is almost a chicken rib for ordinary cultivators. The power of one blow will consume a low-grade magic weapon. Who has such great financial resources! In the Great Song Dynasty, apart from the royal family, the Li family, the Zhao family, and these big families, what other forces can afford to use this thing. ”
Li Yan pondered hard, and after a few breaths, his eyes lit up in vain, and he said in his heart: "I see, I understand a little, the Li family is now facing the royal family, the pressure is too great, this Split Yuan Magic Weapon can't be used at all, it's better to take it out to exert the residual heat." Moreover, those four-star killers in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, even if they really assassinate the royal family and get the Split Yuan Hu, it would be very expensive to use it, and it was not cost-effective, and in the end, they would still make a deal with the Li family and exchange the Split Yuan Hu for other cultivation resources. When the time comes, the family will naturally give the other party a corresponding reward, and will not let the other party suffer. ”
Seeing that Li Yan was silent, Niu Tou didn't speak for a long time, his eyes flashed slightly, he couldn't hold his breath, coughed lightly, and said, "How about it, you can't take these assassination missions?"
"Huh?"
Li Yan slowly raised his head, glared at Niu Tou, and said, "Take it, why don't you take it." How can I do such a difficult task as assassinating royals without my participation!"
Niu Tou also knew that he had disturbed Li Yan, so he laughed dryly and said, "Okay, I'll be here first, congratulations to Brother Lieyang for his success and victory." ”
"Alright, since it's okay, I'll go first. Also, I took this thing too. ”
Li Yan glanced at the bull, held up the assassination list and shook it, got up and left the stronghold of the Dark Star Organization.
After returning home, he locked himself in his house in the name of retreat and began to study the assassination plans of the royal family.
Of the thirty-four members of the royal family, sixteen of them exist in the Heavenly Realm, and the rest are not in the Heavenly Realm, and they may not be easier to kill than these Heavenly Realms.
However, Li Yan's goals, from beginning to end, were those Heavenly Realm existences that belonged to the royal family.
In doing so, he can maximize his own interests.
On the other side, in a large hall of the Li Mansion, there were guards reporting Li De's whereabouts to Li De.
After learning that Li Yan was back, Li De smiled helplessly, and waved his hand indifferently to let the guards leave.
Li Yan is already a Heavenly Realm existence, and it is not easy to see him, if Li Yan is determined to hide, his father will have no choice.
Unless he personally monitors it, otherwise, even if he is a powerhouse in the middle of the Heavenly Realm, it may not be effective.
At such a critical juncture, it was impossible to separate an important combat force in the middle of the Heavenly Realm to monitor Li Yan.
He's not so arrogant.
"Hey, this stinky boy, he just doesn't know how to settle down, but if he wants to go to his grandfather to protect the Dharma, he has to pass me first. When my father crosses the catastrophe, I will definitely find someone to watch this kid to death. ”
Thinking about a headache, Li De lowered his head and took out a letter marked with a secret to look at it carefully.
......
Time passed slowly in the fierce friction between the Li family and the royal family, and you came and went between the two sides, from small contradictions, secret battles, to big fierce battles, which intensified, and the level of battle gradually deepened.
The entire Great Song Dynasty is in an atmosphere of grass and trees.
Li Yan spent every day refining blood poison, and then consolidating his cultivation, and in his spare time, he took out the assassination list to study and study, thinking about the assassination plan in his heart.
Unconsciously, half a month passed, and the time reached mid-September.
The weather is getting cooler.
On this day, on the official road dozens of miles away from Weiyuan City, an important town in the south of the Great Song Kingdom, an assassination suddenly came.
Yang Yuanle, a member of the royal Yang family's side clan and a powerhouse in the middle of the Heavenly Realm, was killed by the Dark Star Killer with a thunderous force in the process of guarding a batch of taxes transported to the capital Yangzhou.
Together with the 500 sergeants who guarded the taxes, they were also killed by the killers.
Only five words were left at the scene: murderer, scorching sun.
Hundreds of thousands of gold, as well as all kinds of treasures, the killer Lieyang did not take it, but was discovered by the villagers who passed by later, and then the common people from a radius of several miles gathered and transported the gold away.
Two days later.
A member of the imperial family of the same generation as the emperor, a dynasty veteran, was cleanly beheaded in a courtyard located in the southern suburbs of Yangzhou.
Five words were still left at the scene: murderer, scorching sun.
Seven days later.
"Ahh
Miao Xilai, the royal family worshipper, howled miserably, and his body fell into the field like noodles, and streams of blood gushed out of his chest.
More than ten meters away, there was a bewitching woman standing in unclothed clothes, staring at the figure with a fox mask in horror and inexplicably, her plump body trembling.
"This is the royal offering, and it is really a scumbag. ”
Li Yan wiped the blood stains on his palm, took out the flying knife magic weapon, and carved five words on Miao Xilai's forehead - murderer, Lieyang.
This royal enshrined by Miao Xilai, secretly a notorious flower thief, Li Yan spent a lot of money to invite a Qinglou woman to come over, scantily dressed, especially graceful, walked around in front of this person, and then walked towards the field.
This person really followed, but unfortunately before he could indulge in the flowers, he was punched through the chest by Li Yan wrapped around the golden light and died.
Miao Xilai's strength was at the bottom in the Heavenly Realm, and Li Yan didn't even use a magic weapon, so he easily killed the other party.
"If I were you, I'd get out of here as soon as possible. The farther you run, the better, and don't let the Royal Eagle Dog find it. The golden ticket I just gave you is enough for you to find a good background in any city, and you won't want to work in Qinglou in the future. ”
Li Yan glanced at the woman who was still trembling, and felt that the other party was also pitiful, so he said: "I advise you, it is best to go to the Li family's Chang'an City, in that city, you should be the safest." ”
With that, Li Yan strode away.
The woman looked at the corpse lying in a pool of blood in disbelief, and after a moment came back to her senses, got dressed, and walked in the direction of Chang'an City.
One after another, members of the royal family have been assassinated, and the killer's behavior is still so high-profile, and he has left his name unscrupulously, which is simply an insult to the royal family, a naked provocation, and a slap in the face.
The royal family was finally furious, and announced within the royal family, as well as externally, that as long as someone could kill the killer Lieyang, they could get a medium-grade magic weapon, a million gold, and a manor on the outskirts of the imperial city, as well as three hundred families supporting the manor.
Under the heavy reward, naturally some royal powerhouses set their sights on Li Yan.
Since they could not accurately predict Li Yan's location, they put their mind on the Dark Star Organization, trying to obtain Li Yan's information by monitoring the Dark Star stronghold.
However, they didn't know that Li Yan had an assassination list in his hand, and he would not appear in any of the Dark Star's strongholds during this time.
Another three days passed.
Jiayu City, an important garrison town on the border of the Great Song Kingdom, an important member of the royal family who was trained in the army, after falling asleep at night, was attacked by Li Yan and beheaded with a knife.
Two days later......
5 days later......
Seven days later......
As the days passed, the royal family members who were assassinated by Li Yan, as well as the Heavenly Realm, became more and more, and they were about to approach the number of ten.
There are more Heavenly Realms than those who died in the battle with the Li family.
Many royal clansmen living outside were panicked and worried, and they all hurried towards the imperial city, fearing that they would be targeted by the killer Sun and die with a whimper.
The emperor was about to be driven crazy by those frightened clansmen, and every day he was furious and angry in the Jinluan Palace, scolding the royal family for being incompetent, and he couldn't even find a small Heavenly Realm killer.
On the other hand, Li Yan's assassination is still ongoing.
On this day, Li Yan targeted Yang Chenfeng, a member of the royal family who rushed to the imperial city for refuge, and prepared to carry out an assassination.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan did not kill Yang Chenfeng, but was surrounded by the Heavenly Realm offerings of many royal families.
The royal family's great offering to Heizong Yan, with two offerings from the mid-stage Heavenly Realm, plus four offerings from the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, blocked Li Yan on a narrow mountain road.
In this battle, Li Yan tried his best, and all the combat skills broke out without reservation.
Rao is like this, he is still seriously injured, and he tried his best, but he was still chased and beaten by many strong people on the mountain road, which can be described as tragic.
Fortunately, he was lucky, relying on the unguardable blood poison and many other means, he escaped from the encirclement, and finally jumped into a large river with strong water and successfully escaped.
The seven royal family who surrounded and intercepted him, but it was not easy afterwards, Li Yan's difficulty made these people remember deeply, especially the incomparably ruthless blood poison, and even after the fact, three of them died in battle.
Among them, the royal family worships Hei Zongyan, this person is the key object of blood poison, when fighting, Hei Zongyan has been relying on cultivation to suppress blood poison, and when he wants to get rid of the poison at the end of the battle, he finds that the blood poison has already penetrated through his blood, and penetrates into all parts of the body along the blood vessels, and the bone marrow, muscles, and minds are full of blood poison, and there is no cure.
However, Li Yan doesn't know about these things yet.
He escaped death, and after going ashore, he found the nearest city, changed his clothes, and relied on the secret channel of the Li family to return to Chang'an City, and recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind.
The aftermath of Li Yan's series of assassinations continues to ferment.
The first is that the killer Lieyang assassinated dozens of royals in a row, and his reputation in the Dark Star Organization was great.
Quietly, Dark Star raised Li Yan's killer level to a four-star killer, which was only one step away from the highest-level five-star killer.
On the other hand, after Lieyang killed the royal family, the royal family was furious, and Lieyang was wanted all over the country, as long as he provided a little clue, he could get a reward of 100,000 taels of gold.
It's a pity that no one knows who Lieyang is, where he is, what the relationship between his parents and family is, and the killer Lieyang, after the last assassination, is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no more sound.
Moreover, even if two or three people provided clues for the royal family, it was later proven to be fake, and the person who provided the clues was quickly torn to pieces by the angry royal family.
In less than half a year, three members of the royal family were enshrined, two people were lost, and only one person remained, and the royal family lost face, which made them feel a strong sense of crisis.
On the contrary, the Li family relied on the blood poison provided by Li Yan to occupy the peak of victory everywhere in the battle with the royal family's heavenly realm, often the Li family died one person, and the royal family's heavenly realm existed, at least two or even three people had to die, in order to level out in terms of combat power.
This is also a great disadvantage for the royal family with many powerhouses in the Heavenly Realm.
This series of changes caught the royal family off guard and worried.
For them, the Li family is the real enemy, and the killer Lieyang is just a seemingly fierce big cat, as long as their royal family works together, they will definitely be able to kill this big cat.
The previous encirclement and suppression is a clear proof of this.
But the Li family is different, the Li family is a tiger that can tear apart the royal family, and it is an enemy that is truly comparable to the eagle of the royal family.
There were unexpectedly many Heavenly Realm powerhouses who died, and the royal family couldn't bear it after all, and many of the late Heavenly Realm powerhouses at the level of old monsters in retreat frequently made frequent moves, which leveled the decline.
Seeing this, the Li family finally gathered their manpower and did not continue to expand the battle circle.
The royal family also accepted it when it was good, and did not let those strong men who lived in seclusion continue to move.
The royal family has already shown its fangs, and if the fight continues, their Li family will also have to show the true foundation of the family.
This is not good for the Li family.
Their focus is all on the coming day of the Tribulation, when the real Great War breaks out.
At the same time, in order to prevent Li Xinren from crossing the catastrophe, the royal family invited the real big shots.
