Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 178: Shenluo Sword Domain Map

In Fulong City.

The streets are bustling with people.

Cui Zhaoxi mingled in the crowd, walking and stopping, sometimes buying two buns, sometimes checking the goods on the stall, looking very busy, but always staring at the two people walking in front of him with the corner of his eyes.

As a killer who has just entered the industry, although the price he offers is relatively low, Cui Zhaoxi believes that he possesses many excellent qualities of a professional killer.

For example, caution.

For example, caution.

Another example is caution.

Even his code name was named "Golden Kidney".

I think outsiders will immediately understand his specialness when they see this title.

Zhao Yuexin, a disciple of the Liver-Eating Society, hired him specifically this time, apparently because he was impressed by his caution.

It’s a pity that compared to him, the other party was too careless.

Just like the target this time, the fourth leader of the Anti-Fraud Gang, Ning Yan.

It sounds good, he is just a senior tyrant. With his strength at the peak of his tyrant status, he can easily kill him if he gets the chance.

But the problem is, there's no way I'll get this opportunity!

He had been guarding for four days and four nights without sleeping, but that guy never left the Anti-Fraud Gang once.

He stayed in that small courtyard all day long, telling lies to people, and it felt like he could tell lies until the end of time.

To be honest, if it was just an ordinary rage, he could force his way through and kill him on the spot.

But the problem is that the other party is the fourth leader of the Anti-Fraud Gang, and there are a lot of violent people coming and going around him, and occasionally there are even senior violent people or even the most violent people.

Once he chooses to break through by force, even if he succeeds in killing the target, it will be difficult for him to retreat calmly in the end.

This is completely different from the difficulty of the task that Zhao Yuexin mentioned.

However, since the task has been accepted and one-third of the deposit has been taken, this order must be completed successfully if we want to successfully get the remaining balance.

Moreover, a powerful killer never complains about difficulties and will always strictly demand himself with high standards and high conditions that others do not have.

Only in this way can he become the king of assassins in Fulong City in the future, and let the name of "Golden Kidney" resound throughout many sects, making all the strong men tremble with fear.

Under his extremely focused and patient watch, Ning Yan finally came out of the Anti-Fraud Gang's headquarters.

Although he now has a senior and angry friend by his side, it is much better than the desperate scene before.

All that was left was to find a suitable opportunity, wait for the two of them to separate, and then he could act properly and complete the task as fast as the wind.

Cui Zhaoxi sneered twice, and seeing that Ning Yan and Lu Junren had already walked far away, he hurriedly followed them.

……

"Brother Lu, what on earth is this Condensation Method that you are talking about?"

Ning Yan asked with some confusion.

"This is a relic I accidentally discovered on my way here."

Lu Junren talked freely:
“The ruins are not far from Fulong City, inside a small hill. When I discovered them by accident, I immediately thought of finding someone to help me dig them up, but I don’t know many people, and I don’t have close relationships with many of them.

It so happened that I had won the qualification to receive the Jade Disciple from you before. I observed your words and actions on the road and felt that you were all trustworthy people, so I wanted to look for you to go digging together. However, I wandered around the city for a long time and couldn't find you.

I had almost given up, but I happened to see you again. Should I invite you to come over right away?"

Ning Yan stopped immediately after hearing this:

"Since we need to find more people, I still have a few brothers in the gang. Why not call them over as well? If that's still not enough, the Anti-Fraud Gang can at least send 20 people."

"I'm afraid this won't work."

Lu Junren said with some difficulty:
"The ruins can only have four people enter at a time. I originally planned to look for the three of you, but I couldn't find anyone, so I found two more friends. Now with you, we're all there. If you come in, I'm afraid there won't be room in the team for more."

"Is there such a rule?"

Ning Yan touched his chin.

To be honest, he could understand that many ruins had a mess of rules, just like the exploration notes left by Yue Letang before. According to the description in it, some places in the Shinra ruins also had many rules that could not be violated.

Those rules were summed up by our predecessors with the blood. If they are violated, one will definitely pay a bloody price.

"Then I have to leave a letter home first."

Ning Yan thought for a moment and said:
"I left in such a hurry that I should at least let them know where I was going so that they wouldn't worry."

“That’s what the title implies.”

Lu Junren agreed immediately.

Ning Yan looked around and quickly found an anti-fraud gang member who was handing out flyers, and asked him to take a message home.

Seeing his back quickly leaving, Ning Yan smiled and said:

"Brother Lu, let's go."

The two quickly left the city.

As we get further away from the city, there are fewer and fewer people walking around.

Passing by the Zhenyu Stone guarded by many long swords, the number of pedestrians on the road has become sparse, and many of them are caravans and freight convoys.

Ning Yan glanced back at Cui Zhaoxi, who was wearing a headscarf, and asked in a rather strange tone:

"Brother Lu, do you know the guy behind?"

"do not know."

Lu Junren shook his head.

"It feels like he's following us."

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Lu Junren smiled and said:
"Although there are many trade routes around Fulong, it is common for everyone to walk on the same road. That person's attire is indeed a little weird, but aren't there many people in the city who dress weirdly?"

Ning Yan thought about it and felt that what Lu Junren said made sense.

Not to mention other things, just in the city, he met many strange characters, like Peng Huasheng who loved to shave people's heads, the weakest true sword of Jianji Sect, the members of the former Anti-Fraud Gang who were bent on destroying the makeup of female cultivators, and so on.

In comparison, let alone covering the face with a headscarf, even if one changes into women's clothes, it doesn't seem to be worth making a fuss about.

Ning Yan retracted his thoughts and turned to Lu Junren and asked:

"Where are Brother Lu's two good friends now?"

"You'll see it if you go a little further."

"Where are the relics?"

"We have to go further ahead, a little further from here."

"It looks like it will take a long time."

Ning Yan glanced at the lush weeds nearby, touched his stomach, and said with some pain:
"I'm going to the bathroom first, please wait for me here for a while."

"How long will you be on duty?"

"soon."

"Okay, go ahead."

Ning Yan turned around and hid in the bushes beside him.

Watching the noise in the bushes fade away, Lu Junren couldn't help but frown slightly.

It's just going to the toilet, is it necessary to run so far?

Could it be that he is planning to take advantage of the situation to escape?
Lu Junren's pupils suddenly condensed.

Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with his performance along the way.

The lines of dialogue were all based on those that had been rehearsed in advance, with gentle persuasion, maintaining a sense of expectation, and constantly throwing out hooks.

Under normal circumstances, I would have come this far and would never run away halfway.

Could it be that there was some detail that he failed to notice, and that boy discovered it?
impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

My performance was perfect.

Although Lu Junren tried hard to convince himself in his heart, his footsteps continued to move towards the roadside and finally he went into the bushes.

Ning Yan, who had just unbuckled his belt, stared at Lu Junren who was walking nearby.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing..."

"Hahaha, I was going to the bathroom too."

"Oh, then you go first, I'll go somewhere else."

As he said this, he tied his belt and walked deep into the bushes.

As he walked, he turned around with a puzzled look on his face and looked at Lu Junren who was following behind him:

"Brother Lu, aren't you going to the bathroom? Why are you following me?"

Lu Junren laughed:
"I have always felt lonely since I was a child. I am afraid of doing anything alone, so I want to go to the bathroom with you."

Ning Yan's mouth twitched involuntarily:

"I think... it's better for each other to have some privacy when it comes to going to the bathroom."

Lu Junren shook his head:
"It's more lively if everyone goes to the toilet together."

"How about this, you go first, and I'll go after you're done?"

"Let's go together to save time."

"But I prefer to keep some distance."

"Hey, we're all men, why should we keep a distance? As the old saying goes, only those who have taken a shit together, visited prostitutes together, and shared the spoils together can be considered true buddies, right? I want to establish a buddy relationship with you right now!"

"Ahhhh!"

Ning Yan grabbed his hair, almost going crazy:
"Well, let me take another step back."

He pulled up a handful of weeds and quickly rolled them into thin ropes, tying thin ropes to other thin ropes, and soon they formed a long rope.

Ning Yan handed one end of the rope to Lu Junren and continued:
"You'll be on this side, and I'll be on that side. Although there's weeds between us, we'll have a rope in our hands. If there's any movement on your side, I can just pull the rope at any time and I'll know immediately. How do you think about this?"

Lu Junren looked at Ning Yan's depressed expression, knowing that he had almost stepped on Ning Yan's bottom line, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, let's do it."

Ning Yan was overjoyed and quickly walked into the bushes holding the rope, shouting as he walked:
"Don't be afraid when you are alone!"

"Remember to pull the rope if anything happens later."

"I've always been here!"

As he spoke, he walked away, picking up new weeds in his hands, twisting them into ropes, tying them up, and making them longer.

Seeing that the distance had been shortened, Ning Yan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He tied the straw rope to a small tree nearby and quickly unbuttoned his pants.

"Um……"

at the same time.

Cui Zhaoxi searched anxiously in the bushes.

Just now I was not paying attention and both of them disappeared.

He once suspected that the other party had discovered his tracking and deliberately hid himself.

The situation became extremely troublesome. It was extremely difficult to find the two people in such a complicated bush.

Cui Zhaoxi felt extremely upset just thinking about how the good situation had fallen to this point.

If I had known this I wouldn't have been so cautious.

Anyway, these two are both experienced rage fighters.

With his strength at the peak of his rage, plus the ability to launch a sneak attack first, he should be able to eliminate the two men very easily.

Why do we have to wait until Ning Yan is alone?

Even if he's not alone, it doesn't mean he can't be killed?!
Cui Zhaoxi deeply felt the limitations of his own thinking.

As he was thinking, he suddenly tripped over something.

"This is……"

Cui Zhaoxi was holding the straw rope, and the rope suddenly shook.

someone!

Cui Zhaoxi's face suddenly became full of joy. He took out a poisoned dagger and carefully approached the other end of the rope.

The wild grass was swaying slightly.

Soon, he came closer.

I seem to be able to vaguely see a figure in the grass.

"It's ready so soon?"

Hearing this, Cui Zhaoxi's breathing couldn't help but pause slightly.

This voice is not Ning Yan!

At the same time, Lu Junren, who was walking towards this side, also saw Cui Zhaoxi holding a dagger. He was stunned immediately and then his face suddenly changed.

"Forget it. They are all accomplices anyway. It's no problem to kill them!"

As soon as he thought of this, Cui Zhaoxi suddenly stabbed Lu Junren with the dagger in his hand.

Lu Junren quickly retreated and shouted:

"I have no grudge against you in the past or today. Brother, did you kill the wrong person?!"

"I'm going to kill you!!"

Cui Zhaoxi slashed, stabbed, and poked forward repeatedly.

Lu Junren was unable to escape or avoid the attack, and in shock and anger, he had to fight with Cui Zhaoxi on the spot.

The two men fought desperately, and the battle quickly became fierce. Even all the trump cards originally used to deal with Ning Yan were used one by one.

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

A loud explosion sounded in the grass.

Countless messy grass clippings and dirt were blown up and scattered everywhere.

"Pooh!"

"Pooh!"

Ning Yan opened his mouth and spat out a stem, feeling like he was seeing a fucking ghost.

I was just taking a shit, is it necessary to use thunder and fire bombs to blow me up?
He quickly squatted further away.

After a while, the tortuous excretion process was finally completed, and Ning Yan walked back refreshed.

Looking around, the entire grassland became a mess, and many places looked like they had been trampled by yaks, with grass clippings and huge deep pits everywhere.

Two of the deep pits were particularly eye-catching. There were even a lot of charred soil and grass stems left in the pits, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

There is no doubt that these two deep pits were created by thunder and fire bombs.

It was obvious that someone had just been fighting fiercely here, and even such dangerous weapons were taken out.

Ning Yan couldn't help but be alert and walked forward cautiously.

Soon, he saw two figures in the bushes.

A man fell to the ground, with a hideous face and purple body. He looked very familiar. It was Lu Junren who had come to invite him to explore not long ago.

The other one was covered in wounds and staggering, and also looked very familiar. It was the middle-aged man with a turban covering his face, whom he suspected was a stalker.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy.

"How dare you kill my friend?!"

Ning Yan shouted angrily, with great momentum.

Cui Zhaoxi turned around and saw Ning Yan, and couldn't help but smile sadly:
"This is a huge loss. I put all my cards on the line to kill you, but in the end I only killed an unrelated passerby. I shouldn't have taken this job if I had known."

After Ning Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly focused:
"kill me?!"

"I have no grudge against you, and I have never even met you. Why do you want to kill me?!"

"Of course because I accepted someone else's mission to kill you."

"how is this possible?"

Ning Yan couldn't believe it:
"I have always been kind to others and have made unimaginable contributions to the beauty of this world. Why would someone want to kill me?"

"There is a lot of hatred in this world for no reason. If you look at someone for a second longer, they may want to kill you."

While Cui Zhaoxi was stalling for time to recover from his injuries, he continued:
"For example, the president of the Xiaoyao Society in Zixiao Hutong was hated because he said that the leader of the Snake Fang Gang had a strong body odor. In the end, the Snake Fang Gang attacked the Xiaoyao Society and successfully defeated it and occupied Zixiao Hutong. As a result, the president of the Xiaoyao Society escaped in the chaos.

Later, the Snake Fang Gang offered a high reward for his head. I chased him for more than half a month and spent a lot of effort before I finally killed him.

But when I went back with his head to claim the reward, they told me that the Snake Fang Gang had been destroyed by the Hongmen.

There is no reward at all.

In a rage, I sneaked into the Hongmen’s base at night and pulled out all the aphrodisiac grass they had planted in the yard that night.

Not to mention, I actually sold it for a good price afterwards, which was enough to offset my hard work in the past few days. It can be said that it was a blessing in disguise."

Ning Yan nodded and continued to ask:
"So what does this have to do with you coming here to kill me?"

"Or to go further, who sent you to kill me?"

In response to Ning Yan's question, Cui Zhaoxi laughed:
"Of course it's from the Tianxiang Goddess Building—"

"wrong."

Ning Yan looked at him and said calmly:

"Since you want to kill me, you must have investigated me and you should know that I have the ability to detect lies.

I suggest you don’t lie to me, or I may not give you time to recover.”

Cui Zhaoxi listened and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Although Ning Yan looked calm, as if the words he just said were just an ordinary conversation.

But the strong sense of crisis that emerged from the bottom of his heart told him all the time that what the other party said was true.

If he tells a lie, he will be met with a thunderous attack!

With his current level of recovery, he may not be able to withstand it.

After a brief silence, Cui Zhaoxi finally replied from the heart:

"It's Zhao Yuexin from the Liver Eating Society."

"Zhao Yuexin?"

Ning Yan was slightly confused, and then suddenly realized.

The couple that Bai Xunhei brought to us a few days ago broke up because of this person.

Thinking about it now, he could still recall the resentful look in Ling Guili's eyes when she left.

I thought it was just a momentary resentment in my heart, but I never thought it would turn into such a disaster.

It seems that I need to be more vigilant in the future.

Identifying lies is bound to offend the party who deliberately lies.

If it were just some small matters, it would be fine. However, if it involves family relationships, cultivation of martial arts, etc., it would inevitably provoke hatred and even further turn into a vendetta similar to today's.

This point cannot be ignored.

I must remind everyone in the gang carefully when I get back.

With this in mind, Ning Yan said to Cui Zhaoxi:

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"I can give you all the money I have, just let me go."

"But if I just kill you, won't the money on you be mine?"

"Even a rabbit can kick an eagle when it's cornered. Aren't you afraid you'll get hurt?"

"Not afraid."

As he spoke, Cui Zhaoxi had already gathered his strength and fled backwards desperately.

Ning Yan took a sudden step.

Before the grass leaves he kicked up fell to the ground, he had already caught up to Cui Zhaoxi and gently pressed them down with his palm.

Cui Zhaoxi suddenly put his arms in front of him to protect

The palm broke the arm.

The chest was cracked.

The sternum was crushed.

The back was pressed through.

Cui Zhaoxi looked at the arm that was deeply embedded in his body, his face full of disbelief.

"How can this be?"

"If you reach the peak of violent energy in your next life, remember to only accept orders that require you to gather energy."

Ning Yan casually pulled a piece of cloth from him and wiped his palms.

Seeing Cui Zhaoxi fall to the ground and coughing up blood, he immediately squatted down and began to search the body.

After searching a whole circle, they only got gold notes worth 20,000 taels of gold.

"What poor bastard?"

"How dare you come out as a killer?"

"You only have this much wealth?"

Ning Yan almost rolled his eyes.

However, a patch on the chest of the clothes attracted his attention.

"Zila" sound.

Ning Yan tore off the gray-blue patch on the spot.

There was a thin piece of yellow cloth hidden inside.

"Is this... a map of the Shinra Sword Domain?"

　Negotiation failed, I am already looking for a house, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the recovery day is 10,000
