Chapter 72 Misty Rain Seven Kill Order
Chapter 72 Misty Rain Seven Kill Order
Upon hearing Qin Wu's question.
The man smiled dismissively, and with a flick of his wrist, metal cards flew up and down.
"You don't need to know my identity; all you need to know is that someone wants you dead."
As he spoke, he suddenly made his move.
More than a dozen cards suddenly flew towards Qin Wu.
Each card transforms into a sharp blade, cutting down everything in its path.
Qin Wu's expression hardened, and he dodged.
These cards are incredibly fast, clearly the result of countless hours of meticulous crafting.
The man was somewhat surprised to see Qin Wu dodge.
His expression also turned cold.
"It seems I underestimated you. You truly deserve to be the one who obtained the Seven Killings Token of Misty Rain."
"The Seven Killing Orders of Misty Rain?"
Qin Wu pondered these words.
Then, I couldn't find any information related to it in my memory at all.
It seems I'll have to ask someone I know to find out.
"With the Seven Killings Order issued, you are doomed. Now, become my tool to complete my mission!"
The next instant, the man was launched into the air and charged towards Qin Wu, firing cards as he went.
One card after another seemed to be an extension of his arm.
Qin Wu couldn't help but admire such methods.
In his view, even a martial artist at the Meridian Opening Realm, without any special skills, would likely only face certain death in the face of such methods.
But Qin Wu did not retreat but advanced instead.
Although those cards that were shot out posed a great threat, Qin Wu's lightness martial arts, which were at the Transcendent Realm, were not just empty words.
As Qin Wu dodged his attacks one after another, the man's expression gradually changed.
Qin Wu's strength has far exceeded his previous expectations.
According to the information, the target was merely a martial artist undergoing a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing.
But now, the strength Qin Wu is displaying is something that even ordinary cultivators at the Meridian Opening Realm probably cannot match.
Just when the two sides were less than ten meters apart.
A hint of mockery flashed in the man's eyes, revealing a smug satisfaction at his successful scheme.
Then, with a wave of his hand, dozens of cards shot out at Qin Wu simultaneously.
These cards completely blocked all of Qin Wu's escape routes.
This move is a sure kill!
In his eyes, Qin Wu was undoubtedly a dead man.
He was already inwardly mocking him.
This foolish guy, though he does have some skill.
But faced with his ultimate move, it was still a lamb to the slaughter, no different from any other mission target.
But the next second.
boom!
He saw his target's hands form palms and suddenly struck.
Those cards that flew toward the mission target were blocked by those iron hands as soon as they got within three feet of the target.
In just a moment, more than a dozen cards were grabbed by the other party.
This time he finally panicked.
Cards were his signature move, honed over many years, and no one could ever stop him.
Even if someone occasionally manages to block his attacks, any mission objective is doomed to die when faced with his flying feathers.
But this time...
His signature move, which he had always relied on to act ruthlessly, has become ineffective.
Many cards were even captured by the mission objectives.
"Damn it!"
He screamed in terror.
His special move had been cracked.
He wasn't stupid; he could naturally see the difference in strength between the two sides.
If we continue fighting, we'll only face certain death.
Thinking of this, he turned and ran.
But then a dozen or so whooshing sounds came from the air.
Then cards flew from behind, most of them missing, but a few of them landed on him.
The immense force caused the card to pierce through his entire body from his back.
"I……"
He turned his head with difficulty, his face filled with disbelief.
Qin Wu had already reached him.
"These methods... it seems you're an assassin."
Qin Wu's face was icy cold.
Then he stomped on the other person's hand bones and crushed them.
Hearing the man's screams, Qin Wu spoke:
"Tell me, whose mission did you take on?"
"I...I don't know..."
The assassin screamed in agony.
He was severely injured, but not dead.
He could tell at a glance that Qin Wu's ruthlessness was genuine.
If he doesn't say anything, what follows will probably be worse than death.
"I only received a mission from Yanyu Tower."
He was sweating and quickly answered.
"When we accept a task, we don't have any contact with the person who posted the task."
After hearing this, Qin Wu had no doubts.
This is the simplest operating logic of an assassin organization, so Qin Wu asked the question simply to confirm whether the other party was an assassin and to see if he could get the answer out of him.
Now it seems that it is naturally impossible.
Then Qin Wu picked up the last metal card he had kept and shot it directly at him.
In an instant, it pierced the other man's neck, separating his body from his head.
After doing all this, Qin Wu touched the other person's corpse.
This person only had one token with the character "地" (earth) on it, and on the back of the token were the words "烟雨" (misty rain).
Apart from that, he had nothing of value.
Then Qin Wu headed straight for Tianfeng City.
He hasn't been in this world for long, and he's been involved in martial arts for even less time.
Therefore, he is unaware of many aspects of the martial arts world.
However, there must be many people in Tianfeng City who know exactly what this Misty Rain Seven Killings Token is.
Back to Tianfeng City.
Upon seeing Qin Wu, the Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion was quite surprised.
"Senior, are you familiar with the Seven Killings Token of Misty Rain?"
Upon hearing this, the Flying Swallow Pavilion Master's expression changed drastically.
"What do you mean? You ran into assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion?"
Qin Wu nodded.
He then took out the token and handed it to the Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion.
"The opponent is quite strong. Even if he is a martial artist at the Meridian Opening Realm, it would be difficult for him to survive without preparation."
The Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion examined the token for a few moments, then spoke with an extremely solemn expression:
"The Seven Killing Orders of Misty Rain comes from Misty Rain Pavilion."
The Misty Rain Pavilion is an assassin organization that doesn't ask for reasons, only for the price of killing.
However, there is a rule in this Misty Rain Pavilion.
One kill means one attempt; each failure will prompt the dispatch of a stronger opponent to try again.
If all attempts fail, abandon the mission until the employer raises the bounty level.
The "Seven Killings Order in the Misty Rain" is the highest-level mission, which also means that the people of the Misty Rain Pavilion will attempt to assassinate you seven times.
"If you survive, the Misty Rain Pavilion will not harm you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu remained calm.
"So, if I do nothing, Misty Rain Pavilion will kill me six more times?"
"That's right," the Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion replied.
"Senior, do you know the specifics of the Misty Rain Pavilion? I'd like to speak with someone from the Misty Rain Pavilion."
Qin Wu's expression remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.
The Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion shook his head helplessly and said:
"How could such an assassin organization possibly expose its own information?"
However, each city has a stronghold of the Misty Rain Pavilion.
If you want to know, I can tell you.
Qin Wu's lips curled up into a smile.
"That's enough."
After clarifying the situation, Qin Wu turned to leave.
Seeing Qin Wu's expression, the Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion immediately understood what was going on and said:
"You don't mean to go to the Misty Rain Pavilion's outposts to ask, do you? Those intelligence outposts are just bottom-tier things that the Misty Rain Pavilion can discard at any time."
They could never possibly know the location of the core area of the Misty Rain Pavilion.
Qin Wu paused for a moment, then spoke calmly:
"It's alright, if one person doesn't know, I'll ask ten. Since every city has a Misty Rain Pavilion... that makes things easier..."
As they were talking, Qin Wu had already left Feiyan Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion was stunned, and then gasped.
Although he could understand Qin Wu's anger.
But he increasingly felt that Qin Wu was an absolute god of death.
Fortunately, it's alright.
Not only did he not offend Qin Wu, but he also had a good relationship with this god of death.
However, he also had some concerns.
In some ways, the Misty Rain Pavilion is even more dangerous than the Martial Arts Alliance.
Qin Wu's journey has left many uncertain about the future.
At this moment, Qin Wu had already appeared in a restaurant.
The restaurant was bustling with people. As Qin Wu walked in, a waiter immediately came over to greet him.
"Sir, would you like noodles or a room at the inn?"
"Looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" the waiter asked, bowing and scraping.
"I'm looking for your Misty Rain Pavilion. I want to ask, where is your Pavilion Master?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter, who had been bowing and scraping, immediately straightened his back.
Not only him, but also those who knew the truth, as well as the shopkeepers of Yanyu Tower, all became serious.
The shopkeeper walked over and addressed the customers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are closing today. We will treat you to drinks and food as a gift. Please come again tomorrow."
His voice was cold, even domineering.
The other waiters also changed their usual sycophantic expressions, now showing fierce looks and wary eyes.
After everyone had left, the shopkeeper finally spoke:
"What business do you have with our master?"
Qin Wu chuckled softly.
"Your Misty Rain Pavilion has issued the Misty Rain Seven Kill Order against me, so I would like to discuss with them whether it can be cancelled. By the way, I would like to ask who hired your Misty Rain Pavilion to issue this Misty Rain Seven Kill Order."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly pulled out a dagger from somewhere.
The other shop assistants all followed suit.
They are not fools.
The fact that this person could ask such a question is enough to prove that they are here to cause trouble.
"Yanyu Tower is not a charity organization. We keep our employers' information absolutely confidential. Otherwise, who would dare to post a job ad at Yanyu Tower?"
The shopkeeper spoke directly.
Qin Wu sighed softly.
"If possible, I still hope you can cooperate a bit, otherwise we'll have no choice but to resort to force."
The shopkeeper's expression remained unchanged.
"Many people want to cause us trouble, but what makes you think we're still here?"
Tianfeng City is very large.
Although Qin Wu was quite famous in Tianfeng City, not many people could recognize his face.
After all, he didn't move around Tianfeng City very often.
As they were talking.
The shopkeeper, his face already icy, spoke:
"Kill him!"
At his command, several waiters rushed toward Qin Wu at the same time.
Instead of retreating, Qin Wu advanced and launched a sudden attack.
These waiters couldn't even get past the inner three gates, how could they possibly stop him?
One move at a time, and in just a few moves, they were all lying on the ground, turned into corpses.
Then, to the shopkeeper's horrified gaze, Qin Wu rushed to him and suddenly attacked with a tiger-like pounce.
In an instant, the shopkeeper let out a piercing scream.
Qin Wu destroyed all the meridians in his body.
After doing all this, Qin Wu spoke calmly:
"It seems your strength isn't as great as you claimed."
Go back and tell the people of Yanyu Tower that if they dare to kill Qin Wu, they should be prepared to pay the price.
However, I think your Misty Rain Pavilion probably can't afford that price.
"Qin Wu?"
"Are you Qin Wu?"
The shopkeeper was drenched in cold sweat, writhing in pain from broken bones, but he couldn't hide the horror in his eyes.
Being in Tianfeng City, he could be unaware of Qin Wu.
But the name Qin Wu was already legendary!
At this moment, Qin Wu had already turned and left.
This is just the first stronghold; Yongzhou City, which he is going to, is not close to Tianfeng City.
There were seven or eight cities in between.
He wouldn't mind visiting all these cities and wiping out all the strongholds of the Misty Rain Pavilion.
He refused to believe that Yanyulou could remain in power after doing this.
He also wanted to see if there were any martial arts techniques suitable for him in these cities.
Of all his current skills, only the Tiger Fiend Skill has not yet reached the pinnacle. It's time for him to learn new skills, especially the Elephant Skill.
In the blink of an eye.
More than half a month has passed.
Qin Wu had already passed through three cities, and he had destroyed all of the Yanyu Tower strongholds there. He also left one person behind in each city to relay his message.
However, he didn't gain much in terms of the martial arts skills he needed.
According to his understanding, there were indeed some martial arts techniques that met the requirements.
However, most of them are not very effective.
Therefore, he had little desire to learn.
For him, that was just a waste of time.
As Qin Wu walked out of the Misty Rain Pavilion in the city, he sighed.
He has been here for two days, and has not only found out the location of Yanyu Tower, but also learned about the general martial arts situation in this city.
He did not find the martial arts techniques he needed.
It seems I won't get what I want from here.
At this moment, a young woman blocked his way, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and spoke angrily in a clear voice:
"Hey, what have you done? You've killed so many people in the city!"
Qin Wu looked at her.
This person is quite strong; at such a young age, he has already entered the Blood Exchange and Marrow Cleansing Realm, which is extremely rare.
It seems this must be a prodigy of this place.
"I have my reasons for killing them. Young lady, do you really think my fists aren't strong enough to block my way?"
Qin Wu spoke calmly.
The woman in front of me was indeed good-looking, but that was no reason for her to be so arrogant in front of me.
"You committed murder in the street, and you still have an excuse!"
The woman's eyes flashed with even more menacing light.
Qin Wu, seeing this, was somewhat taken aback.
What is he doing...?
Did you run into someone who likes to meddle in other people's business?
He, an outsider, managed to find out that this place was the residence of the Misty Rain Pavilion, so he refused to believe that this woman wouldn't know.
If she truly didn't know, it only means she was incredibly stupid; despite her talent, she had never experienced the outside world.
As he pondered, Qin Wu's expression turned icy.
"You...you're going to stop me?"
Qin Wu spoke softly, his killing intent already evident.
