Free Web NovelIn the darkness, killing intent was fully revealed.
A wisp of blade light devoured all the surrounding light, heading straight for Li Mo's throat.
Trapped in the darkness, it was as if one had fallen into a quagmire. freeweɓnøvel.com
Li Mo felt incredibly heavy at this moment; an ordinary Guan Shen Realm cultivator would probably not even be able to move a finger.
But with his four Mystic Cores operating simultaneously, and the moonlight covering him from behind, he had already regained his mobility.
However, he didn't dodge, because there was no need to.
Clang—
The Money Tree grew rapidly, instantly illuminating the darkness.
The moment vision was restored, the strangely shaped, paint-black long blade was seen to be blocked by a dragon-tiger pill furnace, and its owner was jointly repelled by Elder Xue and Elder Qian, while simultaneously shouting:
"Kill him first!"
Peng Keshan didn't come alone.
From the rooftop and outside the windows, black-clad figures swarmed in.
Scarlet Phoenix Qi, like a cold current condensed into mercury, caused a longsword made of tea water to appear in Ying Bing's palm.
With a gentle movement, it drew forth hundreds and thousands of Sword Intent and Sword Qi, freezing several black-clad figures into ice sculptures riddled with holes.
"So many people took the bounty?"
Li Mo swung his Chixiao Sword, crookedly piercing through the opponent's weak point, then impaling the person along with a dagger.
Sun Gui and the guards and servants he brought also joined the battle.
Thus, the vast restaurant instantly turned into a chaotic mess.
But Li Mo never relaxed his vigilance.
According to his experience.
The assassins of Rain Listening Pavilion were not suicidal; if one strike failed, they would retreat and seek another opportunity, instead of fighting to the death with their target.
But these Rain Listening Pavilion assassins showed no intention of leaving.
The moment this thought fell.
Crash—
The floor suddenly shattered.
A chain flew out, brandishing its fangs and claws, as if alive, like a mad Dragon soaring into the sky, bringing forth a surging tide.
This was also an attack from an Inner Vision Realm cultivator.
However, the opponent's field was compressed to the extreme.
It didn't look strong in Aura, but in reality, its lethality was more concentrated, and the deathly stillness almost made one's thoughts freeze instantly.
Slam—
A suddenly appearing pink fist punched into the surging tide; it was Shang Wu, who had been standing by without acting.
With just one strike, she accurately grabbed the chain, and then a faint golden flame surged back.
The moment the beautiful Master made her move.
This battle was already over.
The Inner Vision Realm assassin hiding in the dark, who launched a sneak attack, never expected that the palace-dressed woman, who seemed like a drunk cat, would be so fierce.
The scene was a bit brutal.
......
A few minutes later.
The furnishings and windows of the restaurant were all broken, leaving a scene of utter devastation.
The Guan Shen Realm assassins lay scattered on the ground.
Of the assassins from Rain Listening Pavilion, only two Inner Vision Realm assassins were relatively tenacious—meaning they weren't dead yet.
"It was a moment of carelessness, I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared, but..."
The Inner Vision Realm assassin who used the life-taking iron chain lay heavily wounded on the ground, looking at the people surrounding him, still arrogantly saying:
"We are just the beginning, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) hehehe... Don't waste your efforts, we won't say anything..."
"Oh, you're not going to talk?"
Shang Wu was expressionless, punching his head into his chest cavity.
Peng Keshan was silent for a moment, then forced a smile uglier than crying: "You can ask, I'll tell you everything..."
Bang—
His head exploded.
"Ask your mother."
Shang Wu sneered, kicking the unpeacefully dead Peng Keshan into the Fish Dragon Lake outside.
He spun three and a half times in the air, his movements extremely inelegant, and the splash was too big, like a fish exploding.
Xiao Li rated it zero points, disqualifying him from the competition.
Hopefully, contestant Peng will reflect well and not make such mistakes in his next life.
"Gulp..."
Sun Gui swallowed, and instantly stood at attention when the palace-dressed woman's gaze turned to him:
"I, on behalf of Hengtong Merchant House and the reputation of eighteen generations of my ancestors, guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
"That box originally contained xuan crystal..."
Shang Wu and the two Elders looked at Li Mo.
As everyone knew.
Xiao Li had always been a good judge of character.
Li Mo put away his Chixiao Sword and nodded: "Indeed."
This Shopkeeper Sun truly held no ill will towards him, and there was no relevant information in his recent encounters.
After clarification.
Li Mo found that the beautiful Master was not very happy.
Probably because... she couldn't extort a sum of money?
Fortunately, Shopkeeper Sun was quite sensible; he not only offered a sum for emotional distress but also promised to fully assist Qingyuan Sect.
He had to bear some responsibility for this matter.
Sun Gui went to Hengtong Merchant House.
Inside the restaurant, it became quiet again.
After tidying up the place a bit, everyone sat at the intact table.
Although the storm had passed, Xue Jing still looked worried:
"There's only a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to guard against one."
Qian Bufan nodded: "As long as the bounty remains, there won't be a single peaceful day."
"It's not just the bounty issue."
"I am probably now classified as a traitor by Rain Listening Pavilion."
Li Mo said.
Whoever succeeded would not only receive the bounty but also additional rewards from within Rain Listening Pavilion.
So even if there were Inner Vision Realm protectors nearby, there were still people willing to take risks.
Xue Jing's face was as heavy as water, and he sighed again:
"Traitors of Rain Listening Pavilion will face endless pursuit until their death."
"I haven't heard of anyone who eventually escaped..."
"There are."
Ying Bing suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at her.
Her crimson lips parted slightly:
"Achieving the Seventh Realm is the way." ƒrēewebnovel.com
Li Mo: "..."
That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.
How many Seventh Realm powerhouses are there in the world? That level, referred to as a Saint, if they did nothing but cause trouble for a certain force, even Great Yu would have a headache.
"Who can survive the full pursuit of Rain Listening Pavilion and reach the Seventh Realm?" Xue Jing smiled bitterly.
Firstly, how many people can even reach the Seventh Realm in total?
Let alone having to face pursuit and bounties.
Ying Bing's eyes moved slightly, looking at Li Mo.
She had, once, done it.
Xiao Li felt the Ice Cube's inexplicable trust...
"This is a method, it's just a bit long in the process."
"Of course, I'm not lacking confidence, it's just too troublesome to have assassins constantly coming to my door."
"Actually, Rain Listening Pavilion has a weakness, we can start from there."
Xiao Li, who was brainstorming, said seriously.
Hmm?
Everyone looked at him in unison.
There's still a way?
"Weakness? What is it?" Ying Bing asked softly.
Li Mo slapped the table, as if his thoughts had finally opened up:
"Greedy for wealth, only looking for profit!"
"Hmm? Is that a weakness?"
Shang Wu sat up straight, furrowing her willow-like brows.
"For ordinary people, it's naturally not a weakness."
Li Mo smiled modestly:
"But I happen to have a bit of assets."
No one doubted this point.
But Xue Jing stroked his beard, not understanding Li Mo's meaning:
"So what? That's a bounty placed by the Saintess; you can't possibly hire assassins to kill Yin Mianmian."
"Besides, even if the person dies, the bounty will still be there."
Just like Xu Yi killed both employers at that time.
This was indeed something Rain Listening Pavilion could do.
"Elder Xue's thinking is still too narrow. I have an idea."
Li Mo smiled:
"I'll go to the Black Building and hire Rain Listening Pavilion assassins to protect me, wouldn't that work?"
Xue Jing was stunned, leaning back slightly.
Could it... be done this way?
Qian Bufan hesitated: "But don't they only take assassination contracts...?"
"Whoever tries to kill me, they kill; isn't that still killing?"
Li Mo felt there was nothing wrong with this.
To protect his bounty, he would definitely set it higher than the bounty for killing him.
If the former was already so tempting, let alone the latter.
At that time, within Rain Listening Pavilion, everyone would be in danger, turning into a dark forest.
No one would know which bounty their comrades had taken, and they might even end up killing each other.
This way, it would not only solve the threat from Rain Listening Pavilion but also plunge it into internal strife.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
Xiao Li felt he was truly a Genius!
"Ah?"
Qian Bufan and Xue Jing's minds instantly opened up, and they fell into deep thought.
The more they thought, the richer the light of wisdom in their eyes became.
According to Rain Listening Pavilion's rules...
What Li Mo said completely violated no rules!
It really works!!?
No, this actually works??!

PS:
It's been a long time since I slept before 2 AM. This little author really needs to recharge and get a good night's sleep to maintain good writing quality.
My sleep quality has been extremely poor recently. Yesterday, I dreamt that I woke up and played on the computer, and no matter what game I opened, I would click into the comment section, and it was full of readers urging for updates...
It was too terrifying.
Two updates today, going to bed early. I'll try to update earlier tomorrow.
Asking for some power, mwah~
