Chapter 37: The Thorn of Blood
The three metal blocks of similar color and luster were displayed on the ground in front of Chen Han, which were exactly what they needed for the cultivation of the heartbeat period, and they belonged to the five elements of metal with the attributes of Gengjin, Yimu, and Decanate.
The palm of his hand was close to the silver-gray metal in the center, and the Emperor's Extreme Heaven-Shaking Heart Method was running to the limit, and a large amount of pure Five Elements Pure Gold Qi poured into the kidneys along the palm.
A trace of aqua-blue air flowed through the body, and under the continuous refining and compression, the impurities in the aura decreased at a visible rate.
Eventually, the aura changed from a pale and impure blue to a pure and rich sapphire.
It took eight hours to refine a hundred kilograms of metal each, Chen Han let out a long sigh of relief and rested for a moment, his hands outlining and pulling out a magical imprint. The blue, gold, and blue air currents condensed and intertwined at the fingertips, and finally transformed into a huge palm-sized, red-red talisman seal, which gently exploded on the top of the head.
The fiery red mist permeates the whole body, penetrating inward from the tip of each hair, and entering the body along the pores, and the skin, muscles, bones, meridians, internal organs, and even the soul are all increasing at a slightly invisible rate.
Suddenly!
The space in the bedroom was distorted, and a black shadow appeared out of thin air like a ghost, less than four feet away from Chen Han, on the other hand, Chen Han was still cultivating and didn't notice it.
There was a faint cold glint in the black shadow's eyes, and he stared at Chen Han, who was red outside his body, and doubts and surprise obviously flashed in his eyes.
Eight minutes later, until the effect of the Shenwu Seal disappeared, the moment Chen Han opened his eyes, he screamed on the spot and jumped up to pull away: "Who are you?"
"It's a very strange exercise, it's not like any kind of martial arts I've ever seen, it's the same as cultivating the true heart method. ”
The black shadow glanced at the metal on the ground and touched it with his toes: "Metal, could it be that you use this kind of thing to cultivate?" Boy, can you tell me who your master is. ”
Chen Han felt a chill in his heart, with his current perception, even if the late stage cultivator approached three meters to his side, he could detect it at the first time. The other party was only four feet away from him, and he didn't even feel the slightest feeling, and it would be absolutely easy for him to kill himself.
It's horrible!
Based on this alone, it is certain that the other party's cultivation has surpassed the heartbeat period, and whether he is a martial artist or a cultivator, he has already broken through that hurdle.
"Boy, if I ask you, if you don't say it, it means that you have chosen to die. ”
"I ...... I don't have a Master......"
"Oh?"
The word death is so lightly written in the mouth of the black shadow, it seems to be a very ordinary thing, just exposed to the outside but not real, as if there is a cold shrouded eye, so that Chen Han has a feeling of being in an ice cave: "Okay, if you don't want all the people here to die, come out with me." ”
The air around the black shadow twisted, and the shadow appeared strangely outside, and through the moonlight, he could be seen faintly outside the bedroom window.
What the fuck is this?
In my mind, I thought of the many supernatural powers recorded in the Emperor's Extreme Heaven Record, and two big words with palpitations popped up in my brain on the spot-Escape Technique.
That's right!
The other party is by no means a martial artist who has broken through the extreme of martial arts, unlike Yu Lingqiu of the Star Picking Sword Sect, he not only has the energy and realm beyond the heartbeat period, but also can perform the cultivation method that matches the cultivation.
Between the heartbeat period and the Jindan period, if you go further, you will be immortal, and if you take a step back, you will be mortal, and the gap can be described as the difference between heaven and earth.
Even Yu Lingqiu's kind of pseudo-Jindan stage master is not something he can compete with, and in the face of a real Jindan stage cultivator, he doesn't even have the strength to resist.
Running away and resisting in vain, he reluctantly opened the window and jumped out, following behind the dark shadow that was so faint that it was almost invisible, and ran away into the distance......
The speed of the black shadow continued to increase, and there was not even the slightest sound of breaking through the air, silently, like a ghost.
Chen Han could barely keep up at first, but after running for more than twenty miles, the distance between the two gradually widened. This also aroused his competitive spirit, and the first type of lightning flint of the Thunder Body Method was activated, and the muscles of his whole body instantly adjusted to the most suitable state for high speed, and the speed suddenly more than doubled.
"Huh, boy, isn't it, but ...... It's still too slow!"
If it wasn't the words that came out of his mouth, the voice seemed to sound next to his ears, and Chen Han was even more sure that the other party was not a martial artist, which was clearly the sound transmission technique of a cultivator.
The ethereal figure also more than doubled in speed, and the distance that had just been shortened was no longer widened.
Tianli Seal!
The stubborn character made Chen Han unwilling to admit defeat, and the crimson talisman exploded above his head, and the increase in strength directly accelerated the speed by seventy percent.
Nearly 400 yards per hour is the limit of what he can achieve now!
Before he could get happy, the black shadow rippled at the beginning, and the last bit of phantom almost disappeared, and only through his keen senses, he could faintly detect the slight movement of air. It was a terrifying speed of nearly half the speed of sound, fifty percent faster than his limit speed, but whenever the other party was out of his perceptual range, he would stop and wait for the distance between the two sides to close.
The grievances in his heart made Chen Han run wildly with all his might, but unfortunately the difference in strength between the two sides was there, no matter how hard he ran, it was in vain.
Just over half an hour later, the black shadow stopped at the edge of the Qingmeng Mountain forest, and there were no traces in the primeval forest in the middle of the night, and the occasional call of unknown insects was heard.
Chen Han was panting and sweating profusely, but the other party didn't even have a sound of breathing, like a zombie who had already lost his life.
"Do you know what a killer is?"
The voice of the black shadow as calm as water came, and without waiting for Chen Han to answer, he said to himself: "Once you accept the entrustment of your employer, no matter how strong or weak the target is, you must kill it at any cost and by any means, and if you can't hit it well, you will leave immediately and continue to plan the next assassination operation." In short, the target and the killer can only survive one, otherwise it will be a shame to be a killer, and the commission of the Nine Evil Sect is not over, even if Qi Yuankui is dead. ”
"You beast with a beast's face, if you dare to do anything to me, my master will definitely kill your whole family, so that your life is worse than death, woo woo ......"
"Do you know who my master is? No. 5 on the global killer list, codenamed Remnant Blood, he is my master!"
The assassination under the moonlit night is vivid, the encounter between life and death is still fresh in my memory, and that night lingers to this day for Chen Han to reminisce.
Of course, he clearly remembered what Jing Aoxue said!
Almost reflexively, he flew backwards, staring, and he whispered, "Residual blood? are you...... Jing Aoxue's master, the remnant blood of the fifth place in the global killer list?"
The black shadow did not move at all like a pine tree standing on the edge of the cliff for a hundred years, and her voice was calm and terrifying: "Aoxue was trained by me, she was born with the potential of a top killer, but unfortunately she has not suffered hardships, and she has not experienced any danger since her debut, and all the tasks have been successfully completed." On the one hand, I want her to be the strongest killer, stronger than me, and on the other hand, I am afraid that she is in danger and dare not let her accept too difficult characters. ”
Obviously, Jing Aoxue was completely planted this time, and the mission goal was far stronger than imagined, and she really lost her wife and even took herself.
After accepting the commission for murder, he will not only listen to the employer's side of the story, but will conduct an in-depth investigation of the target. Although Jing Aoxue has not experienced any twists and turns, she still understands the common sense of the killer, and she has indeed investigated Chen Han, and even found out that he is an outcast of the Star Picking Sword Sect.
However, through the analysis of various known information, his strength is at the level of a grandmaster at most, and the Nine Evil Sect does not hide too much.
At least this kind of person is not her opponent, and she is 100% sure that she will complete the commission.
Residual blood did not stop her from taking over this commission, even he thought that this operation was safe, in fact, it was, Chen Han was not Jing Aoxue's opponent at all.
Who knows how strong his defense and vitality are?
God knows how strong his willpower is?
God knows that at the moment of life and death, he actually broke through?
"Breaking through the two lines of defense of the Star Picking Sword Sect in a row, and breaking through the Star Sword Formation arranged by Yu Tian and the other seven elders and Dharma protectors, your strength is even stronger than Ao Xue said, it should be that after being seriously injured by Ao Xue that night, you can't exert your strongest strength, right?"
"How do you know this?"
The shock in Chen Han's heart was incomprehensible, what happened on the Seven Star Ridge was extremely secretive, all the people and horses of the Nine Evil Sect were killed, and all the people of the Star Picking Sword Sect were erased from their memories, and it was impossible to leak it at all: "How is it possible...... The memories of those people of the Star Picking Sword Sect have ......."
A faint cold glow jumped on the black shadow's fingertips, and he interrupted Chen Han's words: "This is the most basic ability as a killer, just because the four great families can't do things doesn't mean that I can't do it, understand? I should thank you for letting Ao Xue suffer a setback, so that she can grow into a real top killer, but in order for her to have the qualifications to continue as a killer, you must die." ”
The relationship between the killer and the target is that you are dead or dead, and from the moment you accept the mission, only one of the two parties can exist in the world.
"Don't you feel ashamed that a senior master who has surpassed the limit of martial arts has personally dealt with a junior?" Chen Han had to fight for a chance to survive in this way.
"There are no rules in the killer world, there is only one purpose, and that is to kill the target, that's all. As long as you accept this commission, I will kill if you are an immortal god, and I will kill if you are an ordinary person, and there is no such thing as shameful talk about the transaction of life and money. ”
Sou!
Without giving Chen Han a chance to continue, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and a pale gray energy the thickness of a little finger quickly swept by.
Before he could even see what the attack was about, his chest suddenly cooled, and then he violently knocked his body away, and blood gushed out from his left chest like a spring of blood.
"It's a very powerful body, with one blow from my two true yuans, the peak powerhouse of the martial arts will definitely die, and it can't penetrate your heart. ”
"Too much nonsense!"
Holding his chest and standing up strongly, wiping away the blood that kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, Chen Han shouted: "Doesn't the killer pay attention to attacking with all his strength and killing with one blow......? Do you want me to thank your men for their mercy?
Only then did he see that the other party was not using any weapons at all, and it was the cold glow of the fingertips that had swallowed from his fingertips before, or the residual blood that had just attacked him, and disdainful of using weapons against him.
The aura of the black shadow like a pool of stagnant water changed abruptly, and his voice changed from calm to murderous: "Indeed, what you said is the basic common sense of being a killer, and you don't have to be grateful, because I never thought of showing mercy to my subordinates, but I want you to be tortured and die slowly! Do you think I don't know, you damn bastard, actually ruined Ao Xue's body, and I don't let you live or die, how can I explain to my only disciple?"
