With a little sword energy, the short killer's body softened and fell to the ground. Zhang Cong grabbed him with one hand, turned around and swept him down the mountain.
He was as cruel to this hidden weapon killer as he was to the poisonous cultivator. The reason why he didn't directly use the Galaxy Sword Skill to smash him to pieces was because he couldn't bear to part with his concealment magic weapon. He really lacked such a thing now.
After a few rays of light flashed, Zhang Cong returned to where the poisonous cultivator was lying, casually threw the hidden weapon killer whose dantian was destroyed on the ground, and swung a sword energy, directly destroying the poisonous cultivator's dantian.
.
Zhang Cong squatted in front of the short hidden weapon killer, looked at the resentful killer and asked: "Do you want life to be worse than death, or do you want to live like an ordinary person?"
The hidden weapon killer's eyes were full of hatred, and he said in a hateful voice: "The Shadow Pavilion killer failed and there is no possibility of survival. The soul lamps are all placed in the Shadow Pavilion, and the sea of consciousness is also banned. Even if you don't kill me, I will still die.
.”
Zhang Cong looked surprised: "Then why didn't you fight with me? Instead, you let me capture you. Do you think I can let you play any tricks?"
The killer smiled bitterly: "It's the same as fighting with you or being captured without mercy, but the way of death is different. In fact, the killers in Shadow Pavilion are not all heinous people. Many of them are forced to beg for food for themselves and their families.
That’s all.”
Zhang Cong looked at the killer and said nothing. The killer continued: "My name is Song Min. I am from the Song Family near Linzhou Royal City. I have joined the Shadow Pavilion for more than 20 years. I joined the Shadow Pavilion when I had no other choice.
Over the past twenty years, hundreds of people have died at my hands, so even if they die today, they have paid back the karma they owed."
Zhang Cong smiled slightly: "You surrendered just to tell me this?"
Song Min's eyes darkened: "Actually, if you don't kill me, I won't live long. I failed to forcibly build the foundation, and the divine palace was damaged. Now I'm just burning my true energy to fight against you. I stopped and didn't run. In fact, I was already exhausted."
The lamp has dried up, and I have no power to fight anymore."
Zhang Cong was stunned: "Don't foundation building need to be done naturally? Don't you understand this?"
Song Min sighed: "How can I not know this truth? But I am really tired of the life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. Once the foundation is successfully established, I can be promoted to the level of the hall leader, and I won't have to go on missions often."
Zhang Cong's heart moved, and he immediately asked: "Are the four of you from the same court? How are your cultivation levels?"
Song Min hesitated for a moment, then replied: "We are both from the Ghost Face Tower Shadow Pavilion in Black Dragon Town. We are all in the late stage of Qi training. Duxiu Lao He and I are the closest to foundation building, because the four of us often perform together.
As for the mission, I was called by the Taoist to be the Shadow Four Killer."
Zhang Cong smiled slightly: "Ying Ge really dotes on me? Two people are not enough to come to four, how many people will come next time? Aren't the Ying Ge killers afraid of death?"
Song Min's face was beginning to turn gray, and he asked without giving up: "I wonder what level of cultivation the young knight has? Why do I only seem to be in the middle stage of Qi training? Is it covered up with secret techniques? Can you tell Song so that I can die with peace of mind?"
Some."
Zhang Cong said with a smile: "I am originally at the peak of the middle stage of Qi training, what is there to hide?"
Song Min stared at the boss: "How is that possible? In the middle of your Qi training, you first created the Liu brothers' sword formation, killed the two of them instantly, and then captured Lao He? And you ignored Lao He's bone-corrosive poisonous smoke? Are you a human or a ghost?
ah?"
Zhang Cong stood up and waved his hand, and a spiritual energy swept the old He over, leaving him beside Song Min. He stared at Song Min and asked: "How is the situation in Black Dragon Town? Why is the Shadow Pavilion staring at me?"
Song Min laughed miserably: "The Shadow Pavilion is no longer able to protect itself. The Black Dragon Town is now in a state of flux. There are no less than a dozen masters above the foundation building level. They all suspect that the Shadow Pavilion is responsible for its own troubles, and the purpose is to break the rules of the Sword Sect.
It is also said that the Sword Sect sent people to kill the elders of the Shadow Pavilion. A sectarian war may break out at any time now. The reason why the Shadow Pavilion has issued a killing order for you is because only by capturing or killing you alive can the Shadow Pavilion clear away its suspicions and hide.
Get through this calamity."
Zhang Cong looked at Song Min and the poisonous cultivator Lao He with a cold face and asked: "So there are many people outside who want to arrest me?"
Before Song Min could speak, Lao He suddenly said bitterly: "What do you think? Since I can't kill you in the later stages of Qi training, the rules of the Sword Sect will naturally no longer be scrupulous. As soon as you show up, a large number of foundations will be built."
The masters will take action against you.
Not to mention the Foundation Establishment Hall Master of our Shadow Pavilion, even the Foundation Establishment Elders of various sects are all waiting eagerly for you to appear. Boy, there is no difference between you being alive and dead now, you are just lingering..."
Zhang Cong chuckled: "Because of your attitude, I will let you live a little longer, but it will be more painful."
Before Lao He could say anything else, Zhang Cong suddenly had a small black flower in his hand. Lao He's face suddenly stiffened and he looked at Zhang Cong with an exaggerated expression, as if he had really seen a ghost.
Zhang Cong took the black winter plum and said leisurely: "This winter plum seems to be very poisonous? I don't know how long you can hold on? I think this thing seems to be a corrosive poison? You said that if you feed it to you, it will slowly attack your stomach.
, let your intestines, heart, liver, and lungs rot away little by little. I wonder if you want to taste this? You are a poisonous cultivator, so you should be able to last longer, right?"
The expression on Lao He's face was close to collapse. Big beads of sweat were dripping down his face. He murmured to himself in a voice that was almost like a groan: "Yan Yu Mo? Is there really such a legendary thing in the world? Have you ever heard of it?"
Where can you find something so evil? In the underworld or the ghost realm?"
Zhang Cong looked at the cold plum in his hand and sighed: "It doesn't matter where you found it. This thing has such an elegant name? Yanyumo? What a good name. As a poisonous cultivator, you should die in this kind of place that should only be in the netherworld.
I can only find the hand of a strange flower, so my life is worth it."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to stuff the cold plum into Lao He's mouth. Song Min next to him quickly said: "Young hero, why should you care about a dying person? We will definitely tell the truth about what we know. I only hope that young hero can
Give us a good time."
This time Lao He didn't dare to say a word. Zhang Cong suddenly looked at Song Min and asked: "Did your Ying Ge find a girl named Xiaohua?"
Song Min thought for a moment and shook his head: "I've never heard of this. Shadow Pavilion's missions will be announced. There is no such person in the message board. What kind of cultivation is she?"
Zhang Cong suddenly felt a sense of relief, and his tone of voice became much better: "She is just an ordinary person, so forget it since you are not looking for her. I wonder if the Wang family has looked for your Shadow Pavilion recently?"
Song Min answered quickly this time: "We Shadow Pavilion killers will not attack ordinary people. As for the Wang family... we have looked for them several times. The current head of the Wang family, Wang Chenyang, personally came to our lobby master with a lot of money.
I asked for protection, but was scolded by the third hall master of my family.
Later, it seems that the second master of the Wang family found Elder Jin of the Sword Sect and intervened to mediate the conflict between the Wang family and the Shadow Pavilion. I don't know what happened next."
Zhang Cong chuckled, looked at Song Min who was getting worse and worse, and asked: "You seem to be running out of time, what are your unfulfilled wishes? For the sake of being frank with you and me, I can help as much as I can."
You once."
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Song Min's eyes, and he said expectantly: "I dare not ask the young hero for help. Song has done many evil things in his life. He has only one daughter at his knees. He is still in the Song family, and he doesn't know whether he will live or die.
If the young hero has the opportunity to go to Linzhou Royal City and check on the little girl when passing by, Song will be satisfied. The young hero comes over and I will tell the little girl's address."
Seeing the pleading look in Song Min's eyes, Zhang Cong lowered his body and put his ear close to Song Min's mouth.
Song Min almost exhausted his last bit of strength and whispered something in a low voice. Zhang Cong's expression changed from surprise to solemnity. Finally, he nodded slightly. Song Min's mouth cracked and he swallowed the last sentence with a hint of smile.
One breath.
Zhang Cong looked back at the horrified Lao He and asked with a stern face: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Lao He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said with a solemn expression: "No more words."
Zhang Cong nodded, and with a move of his finger, a sword light pierced directly into Lao He's sea of consciousness and sent him on his way.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Cong seemed to want to spit out all the troubles in his heart. He was not a murderer in the first place, but because of the Wang family's affairs, he had personally killed six Ying Pavilion killers.
In Zhang Cong's eyes, these killers are not all heinous people. They all put their heads in their belts and work for Yingge so that their wives, children, and children can have enough to eat.
"I don't really want your lives, but if I don't kill you, I have to die. The mistake is that you sold your souls to the killer group for money. Death may be your best escape, not to mention
If you fail your mission, you will still be hunted down by the Shadow Pavilion."
After searching everything on Lao He and Song Min, Zhang Cong came to the bodies of the two sword cultivators, searched all the Liu brothers, and then set up an escape light and came to the building next to the tea shed.
Below the private house, Song Min was forced to retreat by his own sword energy from inside this private house.
Looking back at the messy place, Zhang Cong felt mixed emotions in his heart. Only Zhang Cong knew what Song Min said to Zhang Cong before he died. Song Min was holding something in his hand that could attract his attention, and he wanted to use it.
This thing is in exchange for a promise from Zhang Cong.
Jumping into the yard, Zhang Cong came to this earthen house that had been empty for a long time. Song Min had knocked a big hole in the thatched roof. Zhang Cong raised his head and glanced at the dusty beams. Suddenly he waved his hand and a roll of bamboo slips came out of the house.
The beam fell down and landed on Zhang Cong's hand.
Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, Song Min's weak and humble begging sounded in his mind again.
"This time, Shadow Pavilion has gone to great lengths to kill you. The four of us killers in the late stage of weapon refining can only be regarded as the top soldiers looking for snakes. The one who is really hiding behind to deal with you is the foundation of Shadow Pavilion.
Hall Master, once we die, we will attract the Foundation Establishment Killer. At that time, the young hero will truly be at a critical moment of life and death.
I hid a roll of Shadow Pavilion's Master Directory on the beam, which contained detailed information on Shadow Pavilion's foundation-building masters below the Golden Core level. I want to use this list to exchange for my daughter's safety for the rest of her life.
As long as the young hero lives for one day, he will protect my daughter from worries about food and clothing, so that Song can close his eyes under the Jiuquan.
In addition, in addition to Shadow Pavilion, the masters of foundation building from various sects are also ready to make a move, so be careful, young hero."
Recalling Song Min's words in his mind, Zhang Cong finally understood that when a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Already knowing that he was going to die, Song Min came out with this roster, just to use this roster and his own life to give his daughter peace and find a way to survive. From a father's point of view, Song Min was a good father.
Looking at the roster in his hand, Zhang Chong frowned tightly. He just killed two monks in the Ying Pavilion who were in the Qi training period, but he didn't expect to cause such an uproar. Now various forces are surging, and the light
It's Shadow Pavilion, so it sends out several foundation-building killers to hunt down itself at all costs. It's even more conceivable that other forces will be able to break through. I'm afraid it won't be enough to rely on luck alone.
