After solving the problem, Lu Zhong left without looking back.
Walking on the road back to Fangshi, his face looked uncertain.
Now that it is known that Lin Zhongze is buying the murderer to kill him, the next target has been determined.
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.
No matter what, this person must be dealt with.
However, since you want to take action, you need to do some investigation first. At least you should find out Lin Zhongze's movement trajectory, as well as the spells and techniques he has mastered, so as to know yourself and the enemy.
The night is getting darker and there are fewer people on the road.
Lu Zhong walked to the door of his house, stretched out his hand to open the courtyard door and was about to go in, but suddenly felt a gaze falling on him. Because of the incident where Lin Zhongze hired someone to kill him, he had become very sensitive now.
Resisting the urge to turn back, he entered the courtyard as usual and closed the door behind him.
Immediately, it was a detection of malicious intent.
"Plop!" A warning sign suddenly appeared in my heart.
"That person really has ill intentions towards me!" Lu Zhong's eyes flashed.
Using the Qi Watching Technique, I could see that the person just now was at the third level of Qi Refining, and he still didn't choose to leave at this time, and was still hiding in a corner that he thought was secretive.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Zhong's mouth, and he went into the bedroom to rest as usual. After a while, he blew out the candles in the room to create the illusion that he had fallen asleep.
As he squirmed and chanted the mantra in his mouth, his whole breath rapidly weakened, and at the same time, his sense of existence also weakened.
After completing these disguises, he climbed over the courtyard wall from the blind spot of the opponent's sight and slowly touched it.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the nights are no longer as hot as the days and become cooler.
Withered yellow leaves are drifting in the night wind. A figure hides in a dim corner, casting his gaze diagonally across the yard from time to time. When he hears the law enforcement team passing by, he will use a slightly clumsy breathing technique to restrain himself.
The figure is hidden.
Little did this person know that every move he made was watched by Lu Zhong.
However, he did not act rashly, and still stood in the blind corner of his sight, waiting.
There is not much knowledge taught about the stealth technique, but the most important thing, how to avoid sight, is explained very clearly, which is enough to deal with the rookie in front of you.
Even if he hadn't seen any more assassins, Lu Zhong could tell that the man in front of him was definitely a novice.
As long as the assassin is more cautious, he will not stay in place for a long time.
In fact, this person has never even looked behind him. He seems to be so confident in his hiding place that he doesn't even know if someone touches his back.
With the faint light, Lu Zhong could also clearly see the appearance of this person. He looked like a lean, middle-aged man who had been weathered. Although he was dressed neatly, he revealed a ruthless temperament that could only be found in the wilderness.
Another wave of law enforcement patrols passed by, and it was already past the middle of the month.
By this time, almost everyone has fallen into a deep sleep.
According to Lu Zhong's understanding, the frequency of patrols by the law enforcement team will be greatly reduced in the second half of the night, to only once an hour. If the middle-aged man is really an assassin, he will definitely choose to take action at this time.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man quickly took action and came out of his hiding place.
He first looked around for a while, and when he saw no other movement around him, he climbed over the courtyard wall of Lu Zhong's house and landed in the yard.
Lu Zhong followed closely behind, avoiding the middle-aged man's sight the whole time.
With the combined effect of holding breath and concealing, as long as the person doesn't look back, it's almost impossible to detect him.
On the other side, after the middle-aged man turned over and entered the yard, to Lu Zhong's expectation, he did not choose to go to his bedroom, but instead went to the talisman-making room.
This move actually stunned Lu Zhong.
"Could it be that this man is just a thief, not an assassin?"
But if you really want to steal something, just steal it directly when he is not around.
Why do you have to sneak in in the middle of the night like now?
Seeing this, Lu Zhong simply waited patiently outside, staying the same to cope with all changes.
If this person is really a thief, if he just waits and waits, he will catch someone and get the stolen goods.
But if not, it’s better to observe the middle-aged man’s next move.
After a while, the middle-aged man quietly exited the talisman-making room and headed towards Lu Zhong's bedroom.
When he reached the door of the bedroom, he started to chant a mantra.
Lu Zhong stood behind and watched carefully, and his expression suddenly changed. From the incantation and the handprints, he could tell at a glance that this person was clearly using the Zhanwang Qi Technique.
Obviously, this is to spy on the situation in the room.
"We can't wait any longer. As soon as he uses the Qi Watching Technique, he will find that I am no longer in the room!" Lu Zhong thought of this, shook his left hand, and the three-foot green blade slipped from his sleeve.
Holding the sword in his hand, he walked quickly behind the opponent.
Without any hesitation, he swung his sword and prepared to stab the opponent directly in the heart.
Now that the matter has come to this, it doesn't matter even if it was a manslaughter.
With the fact that the other party broke in without permission, there was no need to worry about the law enforcement team being held accountable for killing the middle-aged man. At most, it was just an insignificant accusation that the attack was too harsh, in order to extort three or two spiritual stones.
"Ding!" The middle-aged man turned around with a horrified look on his face and used a dagger to separate the stabbing sword.
It could be heard from his heavy breathing that he was definitely not in a calm mood at the moment.
"You, you are!" The middle-aged man saw Lu Zhong's appearance clearly, and the look of shock on his face suddenly became more intense. However, facing the sword shadow splashing like water, he could only wave his dagger to try to parry.
If you lose the opportunity, you will be passive everywhere.
Both sides attacked and blocked, and after a few back and forths, Lu Zhong found the right opportunity and drew out a sword technique. The Qingshuang Sword flew out immediately, bursting out with a green light and shadow, and shot towards the opponent's vitals.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man dodged when a vicious dog pounced on his food.
During the process, even though Lu Zhong reacted very quickly and immediately changed his moves from stabbing to chopping, he still failed to hit the opponent.
Looking at Lu Zhong, who was empty-handed, the middle-aged man had a sinister smile on his face, and rushed forward with both legs, and the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides suddenly reversed.
Is it really the truth?
A flash of blue sword light was seen, and a broken dagger blade flew high into the sky.
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground in disbelief. The wound on his heart was bleeding rapidly, and a large amount of pink foam was pouring out of the wound in his throat, and a "hooho" sound was heard.
In his eyes that were gradually dimming, a light blue illusory long sword in the hand of the figure opposite was slowly breaking and dissipating.
Lu Zhong looked at the fallen middle-aged man without changing his expression.
I have to say that Chi Yangfa's swordsmanship is really easy to use.
Although he is just a beginner in magic swordsmanship and can only condense three swords in one breath, he can already kill the enemy instantly with this.
Considering that the fight between the two just now would definitely alert the Qingliufang Law Enforcement Team, Lu Zhong quickly started touching the middle-aged man's body before they arrived, lest all the trophies he deserved be swallowed up by the opponent.
There weren't many things found, just five spiritual stones and a few cleaning charms.
In addition, there is a wooden token engraved with the two characters "Chihu".
