Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Jiang Qiong snorted coldly, and shook his sword, making a crisp sound: "Who dares to steal from my 'Jufulou'?"

The three thieves were all shocked when they heard this.

The skinny thief reacted the fastest. He flashed and pounced towards Jiang Qiong like a ghost. The dagger in his hand flashed a cold light in the air and pierced Jiang Qiong's throat, shouting, "Mind your own business, or I'll make you pay!"

Jiang Qiong dodged to the side and easily avoided the fierce attack. He swung the sword in his hand and a stream of sword energy slashed at the skinny thief.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the thief somersaulted in the air and dodged in a panic, staggering a few steps after landing.

Seeing this, the tall thief roared, smashed the box in his hand towards Jiang Qiong, and then rushed over with the box, his fist as big as a casserole coming towards Jiang Qiong's door with a whistling sound.

Jiang Qiong was not in a hurry. He touched the ground with his toes, jumped high, and spun in the air to avoid the box. At the same time, he swung his sword from top to bottom at the tall thief.

The tall thief couldn't dodge in time and could only raise his arm to block. With a "click", a bloody mark instantly appeared on his arm and he screamed in pain.

The hunchbacked thief who was on guard was a little flustered when he saw that neither of his two companions could gain any advantage, but he still gritted his teeth, pulled out a short crossbow from his arms, and shot an arrow at Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Qiong's eyes were as sharp as torches. He swung his sword, knocking the arrow away, and then used the force to rush towards the hunchbacked thief. His speed was so fast that he looked like a flash of black lightning.

The hunchbacked thief was horrified and turned to flee, but Jiang Qiong caught up with him in one swift step and held his sword against his back:

"Say, who sent you?"

The hunchbacked thief was so scared that his legs went weak and his voice trembled: "Master, please spare us. We... We are just accepting money and following orders. I really don't know who is behind this."

At this time, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were also awakened by the noise and rushed over.

Lang Nana swung the long whip in her hand, creating a loud whip flower in the air: "You dare to come here to steal things? You are tired of living!"

Nan Fengxue held a folding fan in her hand and waved it gently. She looked elegant, but in fact, she was hiding spiritual power. She looked at the three thieves and said softly, "I don't think you guys are repeat offenders. If you tell the truth, you may be given a lighter sentence."

The skinny thief snorted coldly: "Bah, stop pretending here, kill me or chop me up, it's up to you!"

Jiang Qiong frowned slightly, thrust the long sword in his hand forward, cutting a little flesh of the hunchbacked thief, blood oozing out: "If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude."

The hunchbacked thief turned pale with fear and begged for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! It's... it's the owner of Zuixianlou. He gave us a large amount of spiritual stones and asked us to steal your property to teach you a lesson. He also said that there will be a big reward after we succeed."

Jiang Qiong and the others looked at each other, their eyes full of anger. Lang Nana gritted her teeth and said, "This shopkeeper of Zuixianlou is really haunting us. The lesson we learned last time wasn't enough. He dared to come and steal things this time!"

Nan Fengxue shook her head slightly: "It seems that we have to think of a thorough solution. We can't let him act so recklessly anymore."

Jiang Qiong pondered for a moment and said to his two companions, "Lock them up first, and we'll find someone to take revenge tomorrow."

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue nodded in agreement, and the three of them tied up the three thieves and locked them up in an empty room.

Jiang Qiong stood guard at the door to prevent them from escaping.

The night was as dark as ink, shrouding the entire town deeply. Only a few dim moonlights struggled to penetrate the clouds, casting a faint light.

Jiang Qiong, dressed in a black suit and as agile as a cheetah, quietly left "Jufulou" under the cover of night.

He knew very well that if he did not completely eradicate the scourge of "Zuixianlou", there would be endless troubles in the future.

Passing through the winding and deep alleys, Jiang Qiong came to a hidden house on the edge of the town.

This house looks dilapidated and deserted, with weeds growing all around and moss covering the walls. But if you look closely, you can find ingenious mechanisms and secret sentries in the dark corners. This is the base of the famous killer organization in the world - "Shadow Pavilion".

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, walked forward and rang the doorknob, three short rings and two long ones. This was the contact code he had learned in advance.

After a moment, the door slowly opened and a black shadow flashed out, as silent as a ghost.

The black figure was covered in a black robe, revealing only a pair of eyes that sparkled like cold stars. He spoke in a low and hoarse voice: "Who are you? What do you want to see?"

Jiang Qiong bowed and said, "I'm Jiang Qiong. I'd like to discuss a business deal with you. It's a serious matter, so please let me know." The black shadow looked at him for a few times, nodded slightly, and stepped aside to let him in.

When Jiang Qiong entered the house, she found that there was something else inside. The buildings were arranged in an orderly manner, and the flying eaves and brackets exuded a cold and austere atmosphere under the moonlight.

The pavilions are connected by corridors with red lanterns hung under the corridors. The flickering lights illuminate the mysterious murals on the walls. The murals are full of assassination scenes, which are chilling.

The yard was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, as if to cover up the slight smell of blood.

Jiang Qiong followed the shadow to a pavilion, and the shadow made a "please" gesture and disappeared. Jiang Qiong climbed the stairs and entered the pavilion hall.

The hall was brightly lit, but empty. It was surrounded by various weapon racks, with all kinds of swords, spears, swords and halberds. The cold light flashed, which made people feel frightened.

On the wall directly in front of him hung a huge black curtain with a blood-red bat embroidered on it. It looked lifelike and seemed as if it would flap its wings and fly out at any time. It was the logo of the "Shadow Pavilion".

"Hahaha, you have a distinguished guest. I'm sorry I failed to welcome you in person!" A hearty laugh was heard, and then a middle-aged man came out from the back hall.

This man had a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle. He was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns and a long and narrow scimitar on his waist. His every move showed the demeanor of a strong man.

He is the leader of the "Shadow Pavilion", the cold owl known as the "Blood Bat".

Jiang Qiong clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Leng, I have long heard of your great name. I came here today out of necessity, hoping to ask for your help."

As he spoke, he pulled out a heavy bag from his bosom and threw it on the table. "Here are 100 middle-grade spirit stones as a deposit. After the matter is completed, there will be another generous reward."

Leng Xiao glanced at the bag, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Oh? Daoying can make such a big move, so the target must be not simple. Why not tell me directly, who are you going to deal with?"

Jiang Qiong's eyes flashed with hatred: "The shopkeeper of Zuixianlou has repeatedly opposed my Jufulou. This time he even hired people to steal. This is really too much. I want him to die at three o'clock in the morning and will never let him live until five o'clock."

Leng Xiao frowned slightly and played with the ring in his hand: "'Zuixianlou'? I've heard a little bit about it. The shopkeeper has some influence in the local area and is surrounded by many expert monks as guards. This job is quite risky."

Jiang Qiong took a step forward, his eyes firm: "Master Leng, I know your ability. As long as we can get rid of this person, I will never let you down in terms of spirit stones."

Leng Xiao stared at him for a moment and laughed: "Okay, just for your straightforwardness, I'll take this business."

He clapped his hands, and in an instant, several men in black rushed out from all directions. Each of them had a nimble figure and cold eyes, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

Leng Xiao pointed at them and introduced them: "These are the elite killers in my pavilion, proficient in various assassination techniques, you can choose according to your needs."

Jiang Qiong glanced around and his eyes fell on a killer who was thin but had eyes as vicious as a venomous snake.

The man held a pair of short blades in his hands, with cold light flashing on the blades and a faint smell of blood.

"What assassination methods are you good at?" Jiang Qiong asked. The assassin bowed slightly and said in a cold voice: "Sir, I am good at hiding my body. I can approach the target quietly in the dark and kill it with one strike. I have sneaked into heavily guarded places many times and killed people without fail."

Jiang Qiong nodded slightly, and then looked at a tall, muscular killer: "What about you?" The tall killer replied in a muffled voice: "I am extremely strong and good at strong attacks. If the target has many guards, I can break the defense line and create opportunities for my companions."

After careful consideration, Jiang Qiong selected three killers including these two.

Seeing this, Leng Xiao smiled with satisfaction: "Brother Jiang has good eyesight. If these three join forces, even if the owner of Zuixianlou has wings, he will not be able to escape."

He turned to look at the assassins with a stern expression: "This mission can only be successful, failure is not allowed. If you damage the reputation of my 'Shadow Pavilion', you know the consequences."

The assassins responded in unison: "Yes, Master!"

At midnight, the night grew darker and everything was silent.

The lights in "Zuixianlou" were dim, with only a few night duty rooms emitting faint lights.

Jiang Qiong and three killers were lurking in the dark corner of the street, their eyes fixed on the gate of "Zuixianlou".

The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Move!" Jiang Qiong ordered in a low voice. The three assassins flashed and rushed towards the "Zuixianlou" like ghosts.

The thin killer who was good at hiding took the lead. His body was as fast as lightning and he instantly blended into the night. He quickly climbed up the wall and avoided the guards on duty downstairs.

Soon, he quietly came to a window on the second floor. The window was half-open, and a ray of light came through. It was the bedroom of the owner of "Zuixianlou".

The thin killer took out a thin bamboo tube from his arms, gently poked a hole in the window paper, put one end in his mouth, and blew out a colorless and odorless smoke.

This smoke was a secret recipe of the "Shadow Pavilion". Just a little inhalation would make people fall into a deep sleep. After a while, a slight cough was heard from the room, and then there was no movement.

At the same time, the tall and strong killer and another killer who was good at using hidden weapons had also dealt with the guards downstairs.

The tall killer wielded an iron rod with great force and power. Wherever he went, the guards fell to the ground and screamed.

The hidden weapon killer was agile, his hands flying like butterflies, rays of cold light shot out from his fingertips, and the hidden weapons accurately hit the guards' vital points without missing a single one.

After dealing with the outer guards, the tall killer picked up a huge rock and smashed it hard at the gate of "Zuixianlou".

With a loud bang, the door was smashed to pieces and wood chips flew everywhere.

The sudden loud noise broke the silence of the night, and chaos suddenly broke out in "Zuixianlou". The guys fled in panic, and shouts and cries for help were intertwined.

The skinny killer took the opportunity to jump into the shopkeeper's bedroom, only to see the shopkeeper sleeping on the bed, completely defenseless.

There was a gleam of ferocity in his eyes, and he raised the short blade and stabbed it hard at the shopkeeper's throat.

Just as the short blade was about to touch the throat, the shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

He rolled over suddenly to avoid the fatal blow, and at the same time reached out from under the pillow to pull out a dagger and stabbed at the thin killer.

The shopkeeper of Zuixianlou is at a high level, living on the edge of a knife all year round and is extremely vigilant. He pretended to be asleep just now just to lure the enemy deeper.

The thin killer was startled, but reacted quickly. He dodged to the side, and the short blade and dagger collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

The two men fought each other in an instant, and the small bedroom was filled with swords and sabers, and danger was rife everywhere.

Downstairs, the tall killer and the hidden weapon killer encountered stubborn resistance from the remaining masters of "Zuixianlou".

Although the tall killer was extremely brave, he was outnumbered by the enemy and was caught in a tough fight for a while.

The hidden weapon killer continued to shoot hidden weapons for support, but it was difficult to break through the opponent's defense line.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Qiong flashed and rushed into the "Zuixianlou", waving the sword in his hand, and rushed towards the upstairs as if he was in an empty space.

Along the way, he wielded his sword and repelled the enemies who blocked his way.

In the bedroom, the skinny killer was gradually defeated by the shopkeeper. He was wounded in many places and his black clothes were stained with blood.

Just as the shopkeeper was about to deliver a fatal blow, Jiang Qiong arrived in time.

He shouted loudly, and his sword pierced the shopkeeper's back like a dragon emerging from the sea.

The shopkeeper sensed the danger behind him and turned around to resist.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to burst out his spiritual energy, and the long sword instantly turned into several rays of light and shadows, covering the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper fought back with all his might, but was plagued by numerous flaws.

Jiang Qiong seized the opportunity and stabbed the shopkeeper in the chest with a sword.

The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and slowly fell down.

Seeing this, the skinny killer breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

At this time, the battle downstairs was also coming to an end. With the support of Jiang Qiong, the tall killer and the hidden weapon killer wiped out all the remaining enemies.

There was deathly silence in "Zuixianlou" and a strong smell of blood in the air.

Jiang Qiong put away his sword and looked around, feeling mixed emotions. He turned to look at the three assassins and said, "Thank you for your help, brothers. The reward will be sent to the Shadow Pavilion tomorrow."

The killers nodded slightly and bowed to say goodbye.

Jiang Qiong dragged his tired body and slowly left "Zuixianlou".

When we returned to Jufulou, the sky was already turning pale.

Jiang Qiong gently pushed open the door. Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing him covered in blood, they were shocked.

Jiang Qiong shook her head slightly, signaling them to rest assured: "The matter is over, the owner of Zuixianlou will not cause trouble again."

Nan Fengxue handed over a handkerchief and said softly, "Go wash it quickly. You've worked hard all night."

Jiang Qiong took the handkerchief and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

After a simple wash, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. The fatigue and tension of the night finally dissipated at this moment... (End of this chapter)
