Chapter 211 Assassination

Translator: CKtalon

Lanyue City appeared to have fallen into a deep sleep late at nightit was still and silent.

Xu Jingming, Ziteng, and Mr. Lu wore black masks and black clothes. They stood at the corner of an alley and looked at a residence in the distance.

Thats Dong Xiaos residence. Mr. Lu pointed and said, Other than Dong Xiao, there are a few maidservants and servants in the residence, as well as more than ten gang members. These members are only average in

strength and arent worth mentioning, but once they release flares, the Flower Moon Gang will immediately be informed and will rush over to help.

Dong Xiao will be dead at our hands before they arrive, Miss Ziteng stated confidently.

We stick to the plan, Xu Jingming said. Enter from the side door and follow the main corridor. Gang members are very vigilant, and many places will have hidden traps. On the other hand, the main corridor often

has servants and guards walking through it. Its relatively safe.

Its easy to be discovered by the gang members if we take the main corridor. Mr. Lu glanced at Miss Ziteng. Once we are discovered by the gang members, we have to kill them immediately. We cant let them shout.

Dont worry. Miss Ziteng nodded.

Dong Xiao is very afraid of death. He sleeps at a fixed yard all the time, so that yard will definitely be filled with traps, Xu Jingming said. Ill be the first to go.

Okay. Ziteng and Mr. Lu nodded.

The three immediately moved silently.

When they arrived at the eastern side door of the residence, Miss Ziteng leaped up and silently landed behind the courtyard wall. Her feet were like cat paws as she gently landed without making a sound. After landing,

she carefully looked around.

Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu also leaped in.

After reaching cellular control, ones footsteps could indeed be softer than a cats. They didnt make a sound when traveling.

Lets go.

This residence was much smaller than Young Master Chang Yis residence. Entering from the side door and passing through a door and corridor brought them to the inner residence.

Xu Jingming and the others quickly approached and suddenly saw two gang members guarding the entrance of the inner courtyard.

The two gang members drank and chatted softly.

Why isnt Chou here to take over? We waited an hour longer today. He has to make it up to us next time.

Boss recently gave him a widow. Could Chou have overslept?

The two muttered.

Pu! Pu!

Two darts instantly penetrated their heads, causing them to collapse. Only then did Miss Ziteng appear. She held her saber and gently sliced open the courtyard door of the inner chamber.

Chi

With the control of her saber force, the thick door bolt was easily severed. There was also a thin thread on the door bolt, and the thin thread was also severed.

Clang! Clang!

A bell tied to a thin string fell to the ground immediately, producing an ear-piercing clang in the silent night.

The six members on duty in different parts of the residence jolted.

Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Zitengs expressions changed. Theres a bell on the latch to the door in the inner courtyard? Arent they being too careful?

Go loud!

Xu Jingming held his spear and took the lead, kicking the courtyard door of the inner residence.

Bang!

This kick contained tens of thousands of kilograms of force, causing the wooden courtyard door to explode. A large number of shattered pieces of wood shot into the inner courtyard in every direction. Instantly, many

mechanisms were activatedbe it steel-jaw traps, ropes, or dart traps.

This made Xu Jingming, Miss Ziteng, and Mr. Lu complain inwardly.

It was said that gang members were very careful, but this was too careful! When they slept at night, the courtyard they were in was filled with all kinds of traps. It looked simple, but once an expert was hit They

suffered serious injuries, if not death.

Boom!

Suddenly, a five-colored flare shot into the sky like a colorful flower that was extremely eye-catching in the night sky.

It was the Flower Moon Gangs signal flare!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Mr. Lu also kicked the walls repeatedly.

Instantly, countless bits of gravel flew everywhere, smashing into the courtyard and the house. Almost all the mechanisms were activated.

Lets go. Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng rushed out from the collapsed wall and leaped more than ten meters in a single step, arriving in front of the large house in the inner residence.

Mr. Lu threw out two disc bladesthe disc blades spun and easily sliced through the house, flying into the house and cleaving through everything in their path.

Xu Jingming struck the wall with his spear, and a large portion of the wall collapsed.

Countless bricks flew everywhere, and Miss Ziteng held many darts in her hands, constantly on guard.

Xu Jingming and the others instantly destroyed and collapsed the huge house. Arrows and venom fell, and it was obvious that some of the mechanisms in the house were damaged when the house was destroyed.

To just barge in like that; is this an assassin? Dong Xiaowho had woken up when the bell rangsaw two disc blades slicing through the house. Immediately after, a wall began to collapse, with rubble splattering right

on the heels of that.

The house began to collapse, and he felt aggrieved.

To act so brazenly, they must believe that their strength exceeds mine. Forget it; survival comes first. Dong Xiao originally wanted to launch a sneak attack, but he cowered after some thought. He immediately tapped

the mechanism beside the bed, and the entire bed immediately sank into the underground chamber below.

The reason why he had to sleep in this room every day was that he had modified it to have many mechanisms and escape routes.

Whoosh!

A spear projection swept through the collapsed wood and stone as Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng rushed in. Mr. Lu even threw out his circular blade discs that sliced in all directions in search of Dong Xiao.

His aura Miss Ziteng pointed at the ground in front of her. Hes underground!

Every cosmic lifeform that took the evolutionary path knew mental cultivation techniques, and some people were especially good at sensing. In terms of sensing, Miss Ziteng was clearly better than Xu Jingming and Mr.

Lu.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

When Mr. Lu heard that, he dealt a barrage of attacks with his blade discs at high speeds! Each of them carried more than 5,000 kilograms of force, allowing them to slice through the bricks and instantly reveal an

underground tunnel.

Lets go.

The blade discs flew into the underground tunnel first, followed by Mr. Lu. Xu Jingming and Miss Ziteng followed right behind him.

They dont care about any possible traps after discovering the underground tunnel. To barge right in without any regard for their lives? Just as he pulled down a sluice gate, Dong Xiao heard an approaching rumble. His

expression couldnt help but change.

Ordinary experts had to carefully explore the underground passage lest they suffer, but it was obvious that for the trio One took point while the other two charged forward right behind him! They didnt care even if

one of their companions died! What they cared about was killing Dong Xiao as quickly as possible.

This was because in their hearts, Dong Xiaos life was worth 900,000 cosmic dollars. Even if they died once, it would only cost them 100,000 cosmic dollars. It was a lucrative deal!

Bang!

The sharp three-sided blade disc tore through the sluice gate, and Mr. Lu immediately saw the fleeing Dong Xiao.

Who hired you? Ill pay you double! Dong Xiao shouted loudly, afraid that he would lose his life if he shouted too late.

Hu!

The whistling blade disc was blocked by Dong Xiaos short halberd as he sent the blade disc flying back into Mr. Lus hand.

Mr. Lu, Xu Jingming, and Miss Ziteng stared at him, their eyes glowing.

Double? Mr. Lu asked hoarsely.

The person who hired us offered a total of 300 taels of silver, Xu Jingming said in a low voice. Can you afford to pay double?

Yes, I can pay double. I can afford 600 taels! Dong Xiao said immediately. Im Phoenix Lake Halls deputy hall master!

Xu Jingming and the others exchanged looks.

Pay us now, and well spare your life, Miss Ziteng said. Otherwise, you will definitely not be spared today.

Do you think Im stupid? Dong Xiao smiled obsequiously. If I give everything to you, what happens if you turn your back on me? How about this? Ill give you 200 taels of silver first! Tomorrow you can send

someone to contact me. If I dont make up the difference, it wont be too late to kill me considering your strength.

A 200-tael deposit? Thats too little.

They hired us with 300 taels.

Xu Jingming, Miss Ziteng, and Mr. Lu stared at Dong Xiao with killing intent as if they were three wolves staring at a sheep.

Dong Xiao didnt doubt it either. He was a second-rate expert and a member of the Flower Moon Gang. There was a bounty of 200 to 300 taels of silver on his head. Any less, and one wouldnt be able to hire strong

experts.

These three people are terrifyingly strong, and all of them are in no way inferior to me. However, I spend lots of money, and I only have 200 taels in cash How can I gather 600 taels? Dong Xiao thought.

You have to give us at least 300 taels first. Well get someone to contact you tomorrow for the remaining 300 taels, Mr. Lu said hoarsely. Alright, I dont have the time to waste on you. Give the word if youre

agreeable.

I wont be able to gather that much money even if I tried to do so immediately. How about this? Theres a secret cabinet in the wooden cabinet that contains 200 taels of silver, Dong Xiao immediately said. Take

these 200 taels firstit represents my sincerity. As for the remaining 400 taels You have to give me time to prepare. Moreover, Im afraid that you will kill me if I give it to you all at once.

Bang!

Xu Jingming stabbed the wooden cabinet, and it shattered.

A small cabinet inside cracked, revealing silver ingots inside. Each ingot was 10 taels, and there were a total of 20 silver ingots.

In Blood Rain Wain world, gold and silver were very valuable. A tael of silver was equivalent to a thousand coins!

kept my word. Here are 200 taels Dong Xiao said.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Miss Ziteng suddenly shot out a series of darts, Mr. Lu immediately threw out his blade discs, and Xu Jingming charged forward with his spear!

You guys dont keep your word! Dong Xiao revealed a look of shock and anger. He didnt even dare to turn around and flee because exposing his back to these three assassins was akin to throwing his life away. He

held his two halberds and swung them, blocking all the darts.

At this moment, the blade disc arrived in front of him.

Dong Xiao was furious and indignant as he blocked with his short halberd. After blocking the blade disc, he suddenly threw out his other halberd.

Mr. Luwho had rushed over too quicklywas just meters away from it. His expression changed as he blocked with the blade disc in his hand.

Clang!

The short halberd was thrown too quickly at a close distance, so Mr. Lu failed to block it completely with his blade disc. The short halberd brushed past his waist, rupturing a large piece of flesh.

Pu.

Xu Jingming took the opportunity to stab his spear into Dong Xiaos throat.

He was outnumbered! Dong Xiao couldnt block the combined forces of Xu Jingming and the others.

I was too rash. Mr. Lu looked at the wound on his waist. By controlling every cell, the huge wound tightened, and only a drop of blood occasionally seeped out.

Take the silver and leave quickly. Xu Jingming picked up a piece of clothing in the basement and wrapped it around the 200 taels of silver. He held a spear in one hand and the silver bag in the other before turning to

leave.

Mr. Luand Miss Ziteng immediately followed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three of them leaped out from the rubble and turned into afterimages as they quickly left the way they came.

And in the middle of the night, the Flower Moon Gang members were still on their way..
