Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 493 White-haired Ghost Face + Shadow Pavilion

Zhou Ping'an had just mastered a perfect secret skill and felt that his ability to protect his life had greatly increased, so he felt a little relaxed.

I was just thinking about carefully understanding and developing the specific usage of this "Heaven-Covering" magical skill.

If used well, it may help you solve many troubles.

The sword intent returned to his body, and like a light and fluttering aura like a gauze, it slowly withdrew from the surroundings and covered his body.

It was as if he had been completely wiped out from this world, and there was no trace of him in the study anymore...

The breeze passed through the window and brushed past where he was originally standing, without any obstruction.

"what……"

A slight sigh sounded in Zhou Ping'an's sharp mind.

At the same time, he felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

His figure flashed slightly, and he flew over dozens of feet and arrived next to the willow tree in the backyard.

Sensing an invisible aura moving away, he chuckled coldly, "Good fellow, I just broke through a secret skill, and now this is a slap in the face, someone actually sneaked up to me."

When I glanced over the roots of the willow tree, I saw that under the scorching sun, the willow leaves were fluttering, and there was no trace of the tree at all.

In other words, the shadow of the tree is gone.

Just when he completely merged into the space and concealed his body, the shadow ran away.

"There is actually such a magical skill. If one is not careful and is sneaked up on by it, it would be really dangerous."

'Who is this person and what is his plan?'

I thought of the feeling of the hairs on my back standing on end.

Zhou Ping'an narrowed his eyes into a slit, and with a flash of his body, he had already stepped into the misty sky, turning into a fine mist in the air that was undetectable to the naked eye. He broke through the air silently, and quickly chased after the place where the Qi was moving away.

“Mountains and rivers reflect our image, nothing can escape our gaze.”

Zhou Ping'an rose to a height of more than thirty feet, and mobilized the vast and powerful true energy of the Tianyuan Riyao acupoint with all his strength. A faint golden light shone from his eyes, and a moon appeared faintly between his eyebrows.

Look at the vast wilderness ahead.

He saw the shadows of the mountains, trees, rocks, and streams, all of which changed color in his eyes, with faint black and white light streams appearing.

The image only appeared for a moment, but it was already imprinted deep in my mind.

Zhou Ping'an's body suddenly fell, like a meteor, and he had already whizzed to a hillside. The hillside was covered with dense red pines, with their crowns connected. The sunlight shone through the leaves, casting colorful light and shadows.

A flash of knife light pierced through the forest and hit the leaves. Just as a clear light appeared, it had already split dozens of large trees and cut into the shadows under the trees.

"Yes, he has the ability to hide himself without a trace, which is rare in the world. He is also extremely vigilant and ruthless."

A soft laugh sounded in my ears.

Countless tree shadows around Zhou Ping'an swayed at the same time.

The knife light seemed to cut something, but it also seemed to have only cut into the empty clouds and failed to hit anything solid.

Instead, a thin and sharp wind appeared at the Shenmen, Yintang and Tanzhong points at the same time.

"This is the first time I've encountered an opponent with equal sword skills. Who are you? Why are you so sneaky? Why not show up and fight for three hundred rounds?"

The red lotus in Zhou Ping'an's mind blossomed and withered slightly, and hundreds of threads of his wishes and thoughts were already burning.

At this moment, he felt his heart was as calm as ice. Every gust of wind, every leaf, every blade of grass...

Even the waving antennae of every insect or ant under his feet were all imaged in his mind and transformed into real light and shadow.

His body twisted and moved like a snake, and he stabbed out with a diagonal knife.

Clang…

Three sparks flew out.

A chill as cold as the depths of the underworld, like a needle-like thread, penetrated the skin and muscles, followed the meridians and attacked the heart directly.

Dark shadows swayed before my eyes, and trees collapsed...

Amid the whistling sound, the air was seen vibrating like water ripples, and a white-haired figure in a black brocade robe and a hideous ghost mask flew backwards.

This person was in mid-air, holding a thin black sword, which drew a circle of extremely soft light, dispersing the last trace of the sword energy, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.

Blood fell to the ground.

The dry grass turns to ice.

Zhou Ping'an had sharp eyes. When he looked up, he could see that the brocade robe of the white-haired man with a ghost face and in black had a crack on the chest, and traces of blood were seeping out.

He exhaled a long breath of black air, which was mixed with some ice and blood, and fell to the ground with a puffing sound. The Cang Yue in his hand trembled slightly, and he smiled and said, "Your swordsmanship is so sharp that you can block my Yufeng Liekong sword light and hurt my internal organs. I think you must be a famous person.

Let me tell you, a wild goose leaves its voice behind, a person leaves his name behind, so you have to leave a name behind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ping'an's aura suddenly exploded, and an invisible energy rushed straight into the sky.

Although his body did not expand, in the eyes of the men in black, it seemed as if he had instantly turned into a giant golden spirit that was ten or eighty feet tall.

The ten-mile chase and sword fight just now were just a warm-up.

"As expected of you, you are the son of destiny. Wait a minute, I am not your enemy... I am here just to observe the newly emerged talents like the Great Emperor Changhe. Is he really blessed with great fortune?"

The white-haired man with a ghost face shook his head and coughed lightly. His figure seemed to be still in the same place, but for some reason, it gave Zhou Ping'an a sense of illusion.

'Another secret skill.'

He quietly moved his long sword, the moon chirped, but he didn't seem to notice where the enemy was. He must have gone far away.

Use the knife as the eye.

The heart is the eye.

In addition, there is the method of utilizing the soul of the bright moon reflecting its shadow.

At the same time, it was confirmed that the ghost-faced old man in front of him was indeed just a phantom.

"Good means."

Zhou Pingan sheathed his sword, knowing that the other party had revealed this secret technique of moving and hiding, and leaving his voice behind, probably because he didn't want to compete with him...

Choosing to escape and dodge, it doesn't seem to be of much use to continue chasing and fighting.

The reason is very simple.

Now that the other party has seen my cultivation and swordsmanship, he will never dare to get so close to me next time. With his defense, it will be easier for him to escape.

unless……

There was a faint light in Zhou Ping'an's eyes, but there was no sign of loss on his face.

"Did you see anything, sir?"

"Hearing is not as good as meeting, meeting is worse than hearing."

The ghost-faced old man smiled and said, "It would be a bit too much to say that we should not let the founding ancestor of the Xiao family of the Yu Kingdom a thousand years ago. However, during this thousand-year catastrophe, General Zhou has a great chance of success. If he can survive this time?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Ping'an chuckled when he heard this, and didn't care about the ghost-faced old man's threatening words.

He now had some confidence that the other party was not coming with the intention of assassinating him.

First, he makes shocking and threatening remarks, and then, of course, he asks for something.

Of course, it is also possible that this person saw that he could not succeed and changed his attitude, so he wanted to cheat and get away.

Watch what he does and listen to what he says.

Listen to what he says first.

Although this man had revealed a powerful secret method of teleporting, he could never have imagined that he, a warrior at the "early stage of Zhenwu" virtual form realm, could actually make the virtual form cover an area of ​​100 miles.

Under the cover of its wings, it is not impossible to find him if we really want to.

It’s just that Kunpeng’s true form has not yet been refined into a Dharmakaya, so it’s better not to show it if possible.

Zhou Ping'an didn't want to be on guard against anyone, he just played it safe out of habit.

If he really used all his strength to unleash Kunpeng's true form, it would probably be a critical stage of life and death.

He has a hidden card and can turn the tables at any time.

At this time, Zhou Ping'an didn't mind having a few words with the ghost-faced old man who was trying to "scare people".

Indeed, this man's methods and secret skills are truly amazing.

At the Zhenwu realm, he could actually fight with me head-on with a sword, exchanging sword for knife, and both of us got hurt.

This is not easy.

"Is it the Pure World Red Lotus Sect, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sect, or the Prison Subduing Demon Sect? Or is it an assassin sent by the imperial court or the demon barbarians?"

"Neither. I am Liang Tongfu. General Zhou, don't try to guess my identity. It's useless. I am not from this world. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to guess it."

There was a hint of sincerity in Liang Tongfu's tone.

He seemed to understand Zhou Ping'an's doubts and showed his sincerity directly.

He reached out and lifted up the ghost mask on his head, revealing a clear and clean face with fluttering white hair. He looked very gentle, like a well-educated scholar.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s been wearing the mask for too long, but his face is a little pale, as white as paper, and he doesn’t look very healthy.

Chapter 560: Shadow Pavilion

*
*
*
“What I said before was not false, and my identity is not worth hiding.

The Shadow Pavilion spans across the heavens, and its business covers countless worlds, so there is nothing shameful about it."

Liang Tongfu clicked his tongue twice and said with a smile: "As an observer, I am only responsible for observation in principle and do not accept missions. General Zhou does not need to be so strict and do not regard me as an enemy. On the contrary, we can cooperate..."

"To show my sincerity, I will first send you a message that may help you out of your predicament."

Without waiting for Zhou Ping'an to ask in detail.

Liang Tongfu flicked his wide sleeves and threw a shiny object over.

Looking from a distance, Zhou Ping'an could see clearly that it was a jade sceptre.

The jade was pale yellow, gleaming with a soft and warm light. He did not reach out his hand, but after the knife's intent had been extended to test it, he took it in his hand.

Liang Tongfu didn't need to say anything more.

Zhou Ping'an took it in his hand and sensed it with his mind, and he already understood what this thing was used for.

“It’s actually a communication tool?”

He used a bit of his mental energy to probe inside, and saw two messages flashing at the top.

One message is:

"The Shadow Pavilion has accepted the mission to eliminate the Destiny Child from the 79th world of Bingchen in Yufang. Xiao Yundu, Cui Shicheng, Zhang Dongliu, Zhou Pingan..."

This message lists a total of six names.

Zhou Ping'an was listed among them.

He suddenly raised his head, with murderous intent in his eyes, and looked at Liang Tongfu who was not far away...

This guy doesn't tell the truth. The assassination mission has already been assigned to Yugui, but he still keeps saying that he has no ill intentions.

"I really have no ill intentions. General Zhou, please take another look and see if you have changed since you received this Shadow Record."

Zhou Ping'an lowered his head and looked again.

I found that among the previous six names, my name slowly faded away, as if there was an invisible eraser gently erasing my name.

There are only five names left.

'interesting. '

Zhou Ping'an looked down again and saw a pinned message with a red mark: "The seventh team of the Samsara Hall mercenaries Fengsheng has accepted the mission to assassinate Zhou Ping'an. For detailed rewards and inside information, please contact Fang Chuqing of the Phoenix Station in this world."

Except for the two pinned red messages.

Next, there were dozens of messages.

I have no impression of some of the names.

There are even some sentences that I can read clearly but don’t understand.

For example: "Qiuluo, the son of the Five Realms Heaven, sincerely calls on heroes from all sides to join in the great cause, and the reward is three Hunyuan Pills."

What are the Qiuluo Five Realms? What is the Son of the Sky? What kind of elixir is the Hunyuan Pill? Zhou Ping'an has never even heard of it.

I don't know what they are trying to do.

But Zhou Ping'an understood at least one thing.

What exactly did Liang Tongfu mean by throwing this jade sceptre to me?

"Mr. Liang, this is an open conspiracy. You are not worried at all. Will Zhou refuse this film?"

"Why would you refuse? In this world, my Shadow Pavilion has only given out three Shadow Records in total. I'm sure General Zhou has already understood the benefits of this thing.

As for your concern about being restricted, that's not necessary. The Pavilion Master is so powerful that he never uses such despicable means. We just get what we need."

Liang Tongfu laughed: "If General Zhou feels that our Shadow Pavilion is not the best partner, you can just crush or discard the jade sceptre. It will not affect you at all."

“If you are interested in cooperating, you can freely use the internal channels of the Shadow Pavilion to obtain confidential information, recruit personnel, and issue tasks.

If you are really interested, you can take the task yourself. After getting paid, you only need to pay a small commission, which is nothing..."

"What kind of power is the Samsara Palace?"

Zhou Ping'an sighed.

The murderous intent in my heart gradually disappeared.

Indeed, even if he could kill this old guy who was known as the Observer at this time.

There is actually no point.

His name had been marked in the Yugui channel network, and he had been assigned a mission by Fang Chuqing of Phoenix Station. If he did not cooperate, he would be assassinated by both the Samsara Hall and the Shadow Pavilion.

Who is Fang Chuqing? He didn't know.

However, I have heard of the name of Phoenix TV.

The reputation of this force is actually not very loud among the lower-class people.

However, among officials and wealthy businessmen, it is well-known.

This is because the Phoenix Tower itself is the most powerful weapon under the royal family of the Dayu Dynasty.

Monitor officials, wealthy businessmen, and powerful families, control martial arts masters, gather intelligence, and secretly eliminate dangerous targets.

Zhou Ping'an was still wondering.

He had already conquered three counties and occupied half of Jiangzhou, but not only did he not encounter the suppression of the imperial army, even the masters of Phoenix Terrace did not show up.

It seems like he has completely ignored me.

This is very unreasonable.

Only now do I understand.

It turned out that it wasn't that Phoenix TV didn't pay attention to him, but that this organization had long regarded him as a dead person.

Perhaps he is unable to divide his attention and has no time to spare, and needs to focus all his efforts on dealing with the invasion of monsters and barbarians.

Perhaps there are more important rebels who need to be targeted.

They didn't do it themselves, not because they didn't want to do it, but because they delegated it to outsiders.

It can also be seen from here that the Phoenix Tower of the Dayu Dynasty also has channels to connect with the outside world.

In this situation, I was completely in the dark.

If you don't accept the convenience provided by Yugui, then you must be mentally ill.

What's more, if you don't accept the cooperation, the first person you will have to face may be the masters of the Shadow Pavilion.

He thought of the scene where his name slowly faded away after he caught the jade sceptre.

Zhou Ping'an obviously understood what to choose.

Crisis is a crisis. Sometimes it is danger, but sometimes it is also an opportunity.

It depends on how you face it?

“The Samsara Palace is a nest of locusts. Once they target you, it is very dangerous.

Since General Zhou is one of us, he can buy information from Shadow Pavilion at a 50% discount. If he has sufficient financial resources, he can even issue missions."

“Of course, with General Zhou’s ability, there’s actually no need to go through too much trouble. Although Fang Chuqing from Phoenix Station is a powerful woman, her intelligence is obviously not that accurate.

They all underestimated your strength. Perhaps, you can survive this attack by the Samsara Palace."

Liang Tongfu smiled, his figure gradually faded, and he put on the ghost mask again, and finally said: "A friendly reminder to General Zhou, some money should be spent, it is best not to save.

The universe is vast and boundless, and no one knows what methods the enemy has. It is always better to have more confidence. We will see you later."

Finished speaking.

Liang Tongfu's figure exploded like a bubble, turning into a faint water light and disappearing into the red pine forest.

There is no trace of breath left.

"Fang Chuqing?"

Zhou Ping'an stood there quietly, with murderous intent surging in his heart.

It was the first time that he truly felt the pain of being hired to assassinate someone.

The assassins from the Blood Robe Tower last time were just like children playing house. They posed no threat at all. He was too lazy to even ask who was behind it.

Too many people have been offended.

It is indeed unnecessary to check one by one, which will waste time and money.

Come one, kill one; come two, kill a pair.

Very simple.

However, when Zhou Ping'an saw the name of the assassin hired by the other party this time, he felt a sense of warning.

Liang Tongfu may not have said much.

From his cautious attitude, it can be judged that the Hall of Samsara is by no means a small force, but is likely a large organization spanning the heavens and all realms.

Or, a competitor of Shadow Pavilion.

Such a force.

Anyone who dares to underestimate the assassins sent out is asking for death.

“A two-pronged approach.”

Zhou Ping'an made a decision secretly.

On the one hand, we must carefully understand who will accept the mission this time and what kind of secret methods they have?
On the one hand, Fang Chuqing from Phoenix TV also needs to be put on the agenda.

It is best to get rid of it if possible.

Even if I can't, I have to find something for her to do. I can't let this woman keep a close eye on me.

If a tree stands taller than the forest, the wind will destroy it.

If your behavior is higher than others, everyone will reject you.

Zhou Ping'an knew that as his power grew, he would definitely be targeted and face all kinds of storms.

Unexpectedly, the first fatal arrow came from Phoenix Tower.

It was just three days after the marriage with the Tang family.

This reaction speed is too fast.

It is indeed the sharpest sword of the imperial court.
