Chapter 168: Capture them all alive, Xiao Ying wants to fleece the Dark Night Pavilion
It was too late for the five people to retreat.
The one who fought with Ling Yun had his tendons in his hands and feet cut, and the other four suffered even worse fates. Not only were their bodies tied up by vines, but they were also pierced by ice arrows and had many bloody holes in them, and blood was flowing out.
What was even more hopeless was that none of them had any fatal wounds, and it was obvious that the other party wanted to capture them alive.
Several killers subconsciously wanted to bite off the poison hidden in their teeth, but they didn't expect Ling Yun and Xiao Ying to quickly remove their jaws and take out the poison. They couldn't help but feel despair.
From the time he broke in to the time he was caught, it took less than half a cup of tea.
Several killers couldn't understand why their mission, which was to assassinate a skilled peasant woman, turned out like this?
When they received the task, they sneered and laughed at the person who issued the task, saying that he had money but nowhere to spend it and why would he use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?
Sending one person for such a mission would be more than enough, but the other party actually bought five bronze-level killers, including a rare and precious monk.
Now we realize that the other party was not cautious enough, and they actually capsized in the ditch.
"Are they dead?"
Then a timid voice was heard asking. It was the little girl He Dongxue. She actually came out with He Chunyu and others.
Seeing the situation in the yard, many people turned pale.
Who are these people? Why did they want to assassinate my wife?
The lady is obviously such a good person, and she is just a woman from a mountain village.
As for the fact that the two ferocious beasts could spit ice arrows and manipulate plants, they were not that surprised because they had known about the lady's extraordinaryness a long time ago.
It was no secret that He Changgui's leg and Yu Yejin's throat were cured, not to mention Ling Yun's skills, and Xiao Ying did not issue a gag order.
After the two people's admiring publicity, everyone already knew that the lady possessed magical powers.
After the snow wolf appeared, it would spit out ice arrows from time to time for fun, so that everyone gradually got used to it.
"Not dead."
Xiao Ying shook her head. She had specifically ordered to leave the person alive, so Ling Yun and the two contracted beasts did not kill him.
"Who are they? Why did they come to assassinate Madam?"
He Changgui broke out in a cold sweat. If Ling Yun had not rescued him in time, he would have been killed by one of them.
He could naturally tell that these people came from extraordinary backgrounds and looked like specially trained killers.
Who did the lady offend that he would actually hire a killer to kill her?
"Ma'am, they all have this on them."
Ling Yun suddenly spoke and handed Xiao Ying a few bronze medals that he had just found from the five killers.
These bronze plates have the same shape, with numbers engraved on one side and the word "An" on the other.
The numbers on four of the bronze medals are copper-colored, while one is black, which seems a little different.
"An? Is that the name of this organization?"
Xiao Ying raised his eyebrows and looked at the five men, but the five killers kept silent, looking as if they were ready to be beaten and killed.
"I've always been kind to others, so I rarely offend anyone," Xiao Ying said thoughtfully. "It seems that among the people I've offended, there's only one who can afford to hire a killer."
"Zhou Yanqing?" Ling Yun immediately interrupted.
He frowned, regretting that he had not killed the tiger and let it go.
"It's probably him."
A cold look flashed in Xiao Ying's eyes. He didn't kill the other party directly because he was somewhat concerned about the other party's identity. He didn't expect that the other party would dare to retaliate.
It must have cost a lot of money to bribe five killers and a monk at once.
She squatted down and pulled off the black cloth on the monk's face, revealing a handsome face that looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"The third level of Qi Refining."
The cultivator was both angry and fearful when his cultivation level was exposed. He had always been proud of being a cultivator. After all, there were only a handful of cultivators in the entire Dark Night Pavilion.
However, he did not expect that there were not only cultivators in this farmyard, but also two extremely powerful beasts.
These two ferocious beasts gave him a very terrifying feeling, even scarier than those gold medal monks. Even their Dark Night Pavilion did not have a ferocious beast, so where did this woman come from?
Furthermore, how could this woman be just some village woman with some tricks? She was clearly a cultivator even more powerful than him, at least at the fourth level of Qi Refining!
He gnashed his teeth in hatred when he thought that the person who issued the mission had deceived them, causing their entire army to be annihilated and captured alive.
"I heard that all of you killers are controlled by your masters with poison. If I can help you detoxify, would you be willing to serve me?"
Xiao Ying stood up and looked at the five people leisurely.
The reason why we kept them alive was not only because we wanted to know their identities and origins, but also because we were impressed by their skills.
There was no way. She was so short of experts. It would take several years to train an expert, and she didn't have that much time.
Now that something is delivered to your door, don’t miss it.
When these words were spoken, not only the five killers, but also Kang Ruolan and others were stunned.
He was shouting for war and killing just now, but in the blink of an eye he is being subdued and serving.
Seeing the five killers looked shocked and doubtful, Xiao Ying continued to persuade them.
"Follow me, and you won't have to live on the edge of a knife any more. I'll also pay you two taels of silver a month. It's not much, but it's safe and steady."
"As you can see, although I'm just a village woman, I'm quite powerful. I also have two contracted beasts at the sixth level of Qi Refining to help me. It's not that easy to kill me."
He looked at the cultivator again and said with a smile, "I can train my contracted beast to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and I can also train you to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Are you really not tempted?"
The monk immediately showed some struggle, looking at Xiao Ying, then at the two ferocious beasts, and was obviously tempted.
Xiao Ying added another dose of shocking information: "If you don't believe me, just look at him and you'll know."
She looked at Ling Yun: "When I picked him up, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining. Now, in less than a month, he has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining."
Ling Yun was speechless. His cultivation was restricted because he was poisoned. How could it be the same as normal cultivation?
Madam is really unscrupulous when it comes to deceiving people.
The monk's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and he stared at Ling Yun with a burning gaze, full of disbelief.
How is it possible to advance from the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level in less than a month?!
You know, it took him three full years to cultivate from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level! And he was still considered promising by the Pavilion Master.
He was prepared to spend ten years to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Now this woman actually told him that someone had advanced from the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level in just one month. His first reaction was that it was nonsense.
"Don't you believe it?"
Xiao Ying naturally saw his doubts and couldn't help but say, "Of course, this is because he has a good spiritual root. I think you probably have a pseudo spiritual root, so your cultivation speed is definitely not that fast."
The monk then began to believe it a little, it turned out to be because of his good spiritual roots.
However, such speed was still too scary. As far as he knew, even the hidden family behind the Dark Night Pavilion did not have such means.
He looked at the two ferocious beasts at the sixth level of Qi Refining again. This woman might really have some unknown methods.
He suddenly made two "hmm" sounds.
Xiao Ying raised the corner of his lips, and Ling Yun closed his chin with a look.
The monk took a deep breath and asked with a complicated expression, "What do you want? But even if I wanted to agree to it, I can't. I'm not controlled by poison, but by a life and death contract."
