Chapter 16: Shadow Assassination
Half a month later, Lu Rushuang came back and told Zhang Yunfei the news that Ji Changfeng was dead.
"It was I who pierced his heart with a sword. When Lu Rushuang said this, her eyes were like a sharp sword out of the sheath, shining with a terrifying light.
Zhang Yunfei gasped, Ji Changfeng's skills he had seen with his own eyes, both speed and sword skills were top-notch, but he was still assassinated by Lu Rushuang, it seems that her purple diamond level is not false at all.
"What do you want Senior Sister Rushuang to do today?" Zhang Yunfei said with a flattering smile. He didn't want to offend this little female devil, if he was really killed by her sword, he would die a really unjust death, "Do you want me to swim hundreds of times again?"
Lu Rushuang shook his head and no longer let him swim around, but taught him a special technique of concealment. Breathlessness is equivalent to holding breath, there are similarities, but they are different. Holding one's breath in the water allows one to skillfully ventilate one's breath and breathe through one's mouth, while concealment means that you can't even breathe, you have to completely conceal one's breath and not move at all, as if you were dead. This was clearly one of the important foundations of the Assassins' concealment technique. A true top expert can see everything that is going on from tens of meters away. Even the slightest breath could reveal a place of invisibility, which was fatal to an Assassin. People with large enough lung capacity can naturally hold their breath for up to two minutes, but learning this special method of concealment can make the breath disappear completely for more than three hours.
Since there is something in common between breathlessness and breath-holding, it is naturally not difficult to learn. With Zhang Yunfei's talent and experience in this area, he comprehended the essence after three days. This is a thaumaturgy that reduces the body's muscle activity to zero and uses the true qi in the body to keep the mind clear, but it can adjust the true qi to instantly restore the body's muscle energy to its peak and produce a huge burst of power, giving the opponent a fatal blow. However, his true qi is too weak, almost equal to nothing, and he can last up to ten minutes when he hides in the water.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you shadow assassination. Lu Rushuang said.
"Can you not learn?" asked Zhang Yunfei.
"It's your business whether you learn or not, and it's my business whether you teach or not. Lu Rushuang said.
"Don't you drag it like this!" Zhang Yunfei said dissatisfiedly.
"I'll see you in the mountains and woods tomorrow. Lu Rushuang didn't care about his emotions at all, and turned around and left after saying this.
"Xiaolin, I like it!" Zhang Yunfei muttered to himself, his eyebrows raised, and his face was cheap.
He also figured it out, just learn it, anyway, Yiduo is not pressing. It is impossible for him to stay in this Moon Shadow Palace for the rest of his life as an old virgin until he dies, in case he really wants to go out of the Moon Shadow Palace in the future, he knows the art of assassination, and he can also prevent being assassinated, thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei has some expectations for learning this art of assassination.
The next day. Zhang Yunfei came to the back mountain grove as promised. This is a broad-leaved forest, the leaves are a little yellow, covered with a thin layer of mist, a gust of mountain wind blows, making a "lala" sound, and the branches on both sides are also bewitching with their teeth and claws, making Zhang Yunfei feel an inexplicable chill.
Zhang Yunfei didn't see Lu Rushuang, which made him quite strange, in the past, Lu Rushuang arrived earlier than him.
"Miss Rushuang!Senior Sister Rushuang!Lu Rushuang!Female Devil!" Zhang Yunfei called in the grove and searched for several laps, but he didn't find it, "It's really strange, you won't release pigeons for me." Ouch, urgency! This tree is bigger! Fertilize you a little and grow a little more. ”
Zhang Yunfei walked to a big tree with his crotch covered, and was about to untie his pants when a female voice suddenly came-
"What are you doing?"
"Hell!" Zhang Yunfei screamed in fright and sat on the ground, looking back in horror, but he couldn't see anything.
Lu Rushuang's figure slowly appeared in front of Zhang Yunfei, as if he appeared out of thin air.
"It's you?!You want to scare me to death!" Zhang Yunfei patted his chest, looking frightened.
"If I want to kill you, it's not enough for you to die a hundred times. Lu Rushuang said.
Zhang Yunfei understood that this was telling the truth, stood up and patted his buttocks, "Even if you don't get scared to death, you will be scared out of heart disease." People are careful that their livers are still pounding. ”
"Do you want me to give it a sword and make it quiet? Lu Rushuang smiled weirdly.
"No!" Zhang Yunfei covered his heart with his hands, "It's good to dance like this." When did you come?"
"I've always been here, you can't see it. Lu Rushuang said, "I'll teach you the shadow assassination technique now, just say it once, whether you want to learn it or not, whether you can learn it or not is your business." ”
"Say, I have a very good memory, I will never forget it!" Zhang Yunfei is extremely confident in his memory, since he was a child, he can remember what he sees and hears almost once, especially after practicing the nameless mantra during this time, he feels that his memory is stronger.
Lu Rushuang slowly told Zhang Yunfei what the shadow assassination technique was. Strictly speaking, shadow assassination is a system and idea of killing. Including tracking, concealment, and assassination, it follows the target like a shadow, but makes the target completely unaware and defenseless, and finally delivers a fatal blow. The basic requirement for concealment is to completely integrate with the environment, as if it has disappeared, such as Lu Rushuang's concealment just now. Some Assassins would even find a place to hide and kill several days in advance, waiting like a viper for their prey to appear and deliver the fatal blow.
"Isn't that similar to a chameleon?" Zhang Yunfei said, "It's a magical creature that can change the color of its body with the environment." Zhang Yunfei stretched out two small claws, puffed out his mouth, imitating the appearance of a chameleon, looking a little cute.
Zhang Yunfei finally understood why when he was chased and killed by Mo Changsheng and Ji Changfeng, he had hidden it well, but Ye Jueqing had to take him outside to expose it, obviously those four assassins were like four poisonous snakes, they had already been ambushed, just waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
"Chameleons simply hide in the environment and allow themselves to disappear from the target's view. And the real concealment technique is to appear!" Lu Rushuang continued to talk about the knowledge of the Shadow Assassination Technique.
"Appear?" Zhang Yunfei was puzzled.
The ultimate meaning of the art of concealment is like a drop of water thrown into the sea, never to be traced again, but it does not disappear, but becomes a part of the sea. A true top-tier assassin will become a part of the target's life, becoming the closest person to the target, a servant, a subordinate, a bodyguard, a friend, or even the most trusted and dearest. Only in this way can we truly make the target defenseless.
As for tracking, not to mention, once many targets know that they have been assassinated by a bounty, they will keep changing their locations, and even flee at great speed, not knowing the art of tracking, and they can't even find the target, and they will kill a yarn. However, the purpose of shadow assassination tracking is not only to find the target, but also to familiarize yourself with the target's travel route, living habits, and if you can get close to the target.
The most terrifying thing about the Shadow Assassination Technique is that even ordinary people can launch a fatal blow to a master. But after ordinary people are exposed, it is not easy to get out of the way, and it is likely to be counter-killed. Moreover, some masters practice body protection magic skills such as golden bell hoods and iron cloth shirts, and ordinary people may not be able to inflict mortal damage on their targets with ordinary weapons. Therefore, the higher the Assassin's skill, the higher the success rate of the final kill.
In addition, a top-tier Assassin is a person with a lot of knowledge or skills, as in order to be a part of the target's life, he must know that part of the knowledge or skill. If you become a target servant, you must serve the target like a real servant, otherwise it will be easy to be recognized and your identity exposed.
Finally, there are many ways to kill, such as poisoning, knife slashing, sword stabbing, hidden arrows, strangulation with steel wire, and even shooting with bricks. An assassin with advanced skills can shatter the target meridians with a single palm. But the three most secure points are still in the heart, eyebrows, and throat. Those who have deep true qi can even turn qi into swords, turn water into ice, and pick leaves and fly flowers, but when they reach this realm, they don't need to assassinate, they can directly chase and kill them openly.
In addition, the Shadow Assassination Technique also has high requirements for psychological quality, not affected by any emotional factors, to be ruthless and desireless, and the mission must be achieved! The Assassin Saint who reached the Moonlight level in the history of the Moon Shadow Palace has a nickname called "Thousand-Faced Death", it is said that she has a thousand faces, has a thousand identities, and is truly ruthless and desireless, after reaching the Moonlight level, she has almost the same power as the palace master, but she did not unlock the ruthless and desireless spell, but left the Moon Shadow Palace directly, and no one has seen her since.
All in all, the Shadow Assassination Technique is a kind of assassination secret technique that integrates various factors such as time, place, and people, which is very rare and requires extremely high comprehensive qualities of assassins.
"Sounds amazing. Zhang Yunfei bit his finger and said, "But what does this have to do with me moving stones and swimming?"
"You talk too much, you are too impetuous, and that is to exercise your endurance, which is the most basic quality of being an assassin. By the way, work out your body's muscles. Lu Rushuang said. In fact, she only said half of it, and the other half was purely to punish Zhang Yunfei's frivolity. But after getting along, she found that this man also has a cute side.
"I see! Don't say it, it's really working, you can see that my biceps are a lot stronger. Zhang Yunfei rolled up his sleeves and showed his biceps in front of Lu Rushuang. But Lu Rushuang just stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly, and Zhang Yunfei pinched his arm and grinned.
"I've said everything I need to say about the Shadow Assassination, you can digest it yourself. Lu Rushuang took out a small notebook from her arms, "This is the mantra of concealment and wind footwork, do you want to practice it yourself." I'll come back to you in a month. ”
Lu Rushuang turned to leave, stepping on the withered yellow leaves, making a "clatter" sound.
"You're going out to kill people again?" Zhang Yunfei suddenly shouted.
Lu Rushuang stood still, and nodded slowly for a while.
"Why do you have to kill people? Isn't it good for everyone to live happily?" Zhang Yunfei said.
"You go and ask her this question!" Lu Rushuang said coldly, and quickly disappeared into the fog.
"Who is she?" I asked who was going?" Zhang Yunfei shouted, but there was no reply.
Looking at the direction in which Ji Rushuang left, Zhang Yunfei sighed softly, since the last "conflict" and he was beaten up, Lu Rushuang's attitude towards him has changed a lot, although he is still the same cold, at least he said a lot of words, and he no longer hesitates to say like gold.
Could it be that Ye Jieqing also went to talk to her?
Is she referring to Ye Ruthlessness in Lu Rushuang's mouth?
Zhang Yunfei didn't know, and he didn't bother to think about it, he slowly opened the book to see, and suddenly his head was big, and it was full of words, and he didn't know many at all!
"Damn, I forgot I haven't peed yet!"
A white stream of water made a beautiful arc and landed at the base of the tree.
