Assassination is like fighting. It is impossible to predict in advance what will happen to the target, and you must adapt to circumstances.
After Shen Wanjin and the others arrived at the inn, the three of them discussed a countermeasure based on the situation at the scene, and then implemented the plan.
Monk Kongji was sitting cross-legged in his room, meditating, and there was silence outside.
The store has closed and the customers have gone to bed.
Occasionally, one or two dog barks echo the chirping of insects, making the inn even more quiet.
The disciple next door snored slightly, and the creak of the bed board being turned over came from the guest room next to him.
Kong Ji slowly recovered his power, lay down on the bed and began to sleep.
In a daze, I heard someone shouting for help:
"It's gone, it's gone."
"Get up, get up quickly, it's on fire."
"Put out the fire, put out the fire."
Kong Ji suddenly turned over and found that there was a sea of fire all around. The flames were shooting up from the windows and the floor. The high temperature air burned the room like a kiln. Thick smoke billowed from the room. Kong Ji felt like he couldn't breathe.
Without any time to think, Monk Kongji jumped towards the window.
For a master of his level, it would be nothing if the room was on fire. He could not be burned to death.
When he rushed outside, several cold arrows suddenly shot out. Kong Ji's long sleeves swung and he rolled the cold arrows into his sleeves.
When they landed on the ground, they discovered that the entire inn was burned down. Screams could be faintly heard in the fire, but no one could escape.
Obviously, someone deliberately set the fire, and the target was himself.
"I, the Buddha, are merciful! If you want to kill the poor monk, you can kill him. Why bother innocent people?"
Monk Kongji was very angry and used Buddhist tremolo when speaking, suppressing the sound of burning and making it clearly audible.
"Master Kongji has such a compassionate heart, I admire him very much!"
Shen Wanjin walked out of the darkness, turning the two iron gallbladders in his hands slightly, followed by Heifeng and Gan Xin.
Heifeng was holding a sword, and Gan Xin was holding a tobacco stick, with the shredded tobacco inside glowing slightly.
"Who are you?"
Kong Ji had never seen Shen Wanjin, and the three of them were all wearing masks at this time.
Shen Wanjin has a golden mask on his face, with ferocious beasts tattooed on the mask.
Gan Xin wore a bone-grey mask without any decorations, much like the color of dry bones.
Heifeng wears a black mask without any decorations.
Shen Wanjin said with a smile: "On the order of King Wu, I came here to kill you!"
Shen Wanjin took action under the banner of Long Chen. He was worried that if the mission failed, he would be able to escape and Xixia would not suspect Wanjin Lou.
As for Long Chen, if Long Chen raises an army to investigate, it will be said that Shen Wanjin killed people under his banner.
Shen Wanjin could just say that Long Chen had stolen Yan Shuangyu, and forget about this trivial matter of making excuses.
Shen Wanjin believed that Long Chen would not be so stingy and would not hold on to this matter.
"Long Chengen, won't he come in person?"
Hearing Long Chen's name, Kong Ji was not surprised at all.
Long Chen and him were sworn enemies, and after learning that he rushed back to Zhaoti Temple overnight, it was normal for him to ambush and kill him along the way.
"King Wu said that he doesn't need to do it himself to kill you."
Shen Wanjin smiled coldly, and the iron gallbladder in his hand turned faster and faster.
boom...
The inn collapsed under the fire, sparks and heat waves rushed over, and several holes were burned out of the empty cassock.
The screams inside have stopped, and the people have been burned to death.
"No, you are not Long Chengen's people!"
Monk Kong Ji glanced at Shen Wanjin and the others, and he understood that these three people were definitely not sent by Long Chen.
"King Wu's general order is to take your head, do you believe it or not?"
Heifeng sneered coldly.
Monk Kongji didn't believe their words even more, and said coldly: "Long Chengen loves fame and reputation. He can't possibly burn down the entire inn. Who are you!"
After fighting with Long Chen for so many years, Kong Ji understands Long Chen quite well.
Long Chen likes to win people's hearts the most. Even if he goes to war, he is not willing to attack the common people.
If you send someone out to assassinate yourself, it's even more impossible to burn everyone in the inn to death.
Therefore, Kong Ji concluded that this group of people was not sent by Long Chen.
Shen Wanjin secretly admired Kong Ji's thoughtfulness and his ability to analyze calmly at a critical moment of life and death.
However, this is no longer important. Shen Wanjin will not admit that he is from Wanjin Tower. He was sent by Long Chen.
"King Wu's military order is like a mountain, I will kill you tonight!"
Shen Wanjin stopped talking nonsense, and suddenly threw the iron gallbladder in his hand, hitting Kong Jie's face. Heifeng followed closely behind, stabbing Kong Jie's throat with the sharp sword in his hand. Gan Xin's figure flashed, and his withered pine-like hands were like The eagle's claws claw at the empty confidant.
The three of them attacked at the same time. Kong Ji's face darkened, and the cassock in his hand suddenly spun around, trying to wrap around Tie Dan.
Hiss...
The moment the cassock entangled the iron gall, the iron gall actually cut the cassock into pieces. Moreover, the iron gall seemed not to be big, but it actually weighed dozens of kilograms.
Tie Guan split his cassock and continued to smash towards the empty door.
Kong Ji didn't dare to neglect him, his cassock was wrapped around his palm, and Kong Ji knocked away the iron gall with one palm.
Heifeng's sharp sword had already arrived. Kong Ji pulled out the sword from his waist and took Heifeng's sword.
The sword was swung away, and Kong Ji also took two steps back. Gan Xin's sharp claws had already arrived. Monk Kong Ji hurriedly avoided, but the cassock on his abdomen was still scratched to pieces, and his belly was almost scratched to death.
After a moment of fighting, Monk Kongji was shocked. He was very sure that the cultivation of these three people were all above the Martial Emperor, especially the two wearing the golden mask and the withered bone mask. They had advanced cultivation and vicious methods.
Monk Kongji thought for a moment and realized that this night would not end well.
"My Buddha is merciful! The three of you came well prepared, determined to keep this poor monk here."
Monk Kongji simply took off his cassock, wearing only khaki monk clothes and holding a sword in his hand, standing steadily in the field.
After the previous fight, Shen Wanjin also tested the reality of Kongji.
Kong Ji is indeed very cultivated, but the three of them can definitely keep him here.
"Yes, we also ask Master Kongji to be aware of the current situation, lest we make a mistake and harm the master's life."
Shen Wanjin laughed dryly.
Kongji sneered: "You just said you wanted to take the head of a poor monk. How can a poor monk know the current affairs?"
Could it be that the poor monk had to cut off his head with his own hands and offer it to him with both hands, so that he could understand the current affairs?
Shen Wanjin chuckled and said: "Master, if you just surrender and follow us to see King Wu, you can avoid death."
Kong Ji laughed loudly and said: "You are a rat who hides his head and shows his tail, but he is still using the name of Long Chengen."
Kong Ji kicked his feet, dodged to the side, and took the initiative to attack Heifeng.
Among the three, Heifeng's cultivation level is the weakest. It seems that he has just broken through to Emperor Wu, and his swordsmanship is average.
Kong Ji plans to start from Black Wind.
The sword stabbed straight at him, but the black wind could not avoid it. He raised his sword and took the move head-on.
Clang!
There was an explosion, and Heifeng felt a huge force coming from him, and the sword in his hand was almost knocked away.
Heifeng's heart was shocked, and he quickly pulled away to retreat. Kongji's left hand suddenly grabbed Heifeng's sleeve, and stabbed him with the sword again. Heifeng was so frightened that he screamed out.
Woo...
The two iron bladders made a sound of wind and hit Kongji. Monk Kongji hurriedly abandoned Heifeng, raised his knife to split the iron bladders, and flew back.
When Shen Wanjin saw that Heifeng was being targeted by Kong Ji, he quickly took action to rescue him.
Gan Xin had already grabbed the dry tobacco pole and rushed over, but Monk Kongji didn't want to be entangled anymore, so he turned around and ran away into the dark night.
The night was as dark as ink, except for the burning inn, everything was pitch black, and the emptiness had long since disappeared.
"Master, Kong Ji ran away."
Heifeng secretly cursed himself for being useless and let Kong Ji find the opportunity to run away.
Shen Wanjin was not worried. He turned to Gan Xin and said, "Can you track it?"
Gan Xin raised his foot, tapped the cigarette pole on the sole of his shoe, and the cigarette ashes fell to the ground.
"able!"
Gan Xin put away the tobacco pole, and the three of them led three horses out from the darkness.
When they set the fire, they left three of their horses out.
Gan Xin took the lead in chasing, followed closely by Shen Wanjin and Heifeng.
