Chapter 927 - Qimen Displacement Technique (1/2)
After Jiang Bin returned to his home, he called a pair of assassins, who were his followers, to his room.
These two men were called Zhang Heng and Li Gao. They were well-known assassins in Tortoise Kingdom. Unfortunately, they offended a big shot, so they were currently in hiding in Jiang Bin’s mansion.
After greeting him, Zhang Heng said, “General, what can we do for you?”
“There’s something I need the two of you to do.”
As Jiang Bin spoke, he introduced Qin Haodong’s situation to the two of them.
Li Gao laughed and said proudly, “General, it’s just killing a suckling boy. There’s no need for both of us to deal with him. I can kill him alone.”
Jiang Bin said, “This is the task Great General Xiahou personally handed over to me. You cannot be careless. Are you confident?”
“I’m 100% sure.” Li Gao said, “In terms of cultivation, I’m at the final stage of the Voiding Realm. He’s just at the late stage of the Voiding Realm. His cultivation is a level lower than mine. In terms of killing methods, he was still in diapers when I started killing people!”
Zhang Heng then said, “Yes, General. What we cultivate is assassination. When we were roaming around Jianghu, there were many masters at the stage of the Combination Realm who had been assassinated by us. What’s more, we never failed before.”
Jiang Bin was still hesitant and said, “I think it’s better for both of you to work together. After all, that boy can summon a seventh-level demonic beast. It is very powerful.”
Li Gao said proudly, “General, you think too much. We are also notorious in the killer world. If both of us go and kill such a young man and this news spreads out, it will be a shame for us.
“Furthermore, in our presence, he doesn’t even have a chance to summon his demonic beast.”
Zhang Heng cooperated and said, “General, I think so too. Only one of us is required to go and kill such a person.”
Because the two of them were so confident and they had pledged their lives, Jiang Bin did not say anything more. He said to Li Gao, “All right! I’ll leave it to you.”
Li Gao said, “Don’t worry, General. You just sit here and drink tea with my brother. After you finish a pot of tea, I’ll bring that boy’s head to you.”
After that, he strode out of the room and rushed to the courtyard.
According to Jiang Bin’s instructions, he sneaked into the small yard where Qin Haodong lived.
This guy was not just bragging. He was really good at carrying out assassinations. He hid in the shadows of the night and was as light as a ghost without any weight.
If it weren’t for Qin Haodong’s strong Spirit, it would be really difficult for him to sense Li Gao’s presence.
Lingwu Continent was not like earth. There were no glass windows at all.
Li Gao sneaked to the window and found a crack to look inside. When he saw that the person inside was sleeping on the bed, he lightly poked a hole in the window paper and slowly inserted a bamboo tube in.
Then, with a puff, thick yellow smoke slowly spread into the room.
A pleased smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. This kind of yellow smoke was the exclusive knockout drug made by him. Even a seventh-level demonic beast would be knocked out by it.
At this point, the only thing he needed to do was to go in and behead Qin Haodong.
After observing for a while, he found that it was still very quiet in the room, so he opened the window and jumped into the room.
Qin Haodong was still sleeping on the bed and his surroundings were very quiet. Li Gao took out the dagger on his back and walked towards the head of the bed.
In his estimation, he only needed to raise his hand and behead Qin Haodong. Then, his task would be completed.
However, as soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly felt dizzy. Then, his limbs went weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop. His dagger slipped out of his hand.
“What’s going on?”
Li Gao was shocked. It was obvious that he had been poisoned. However, he had already taken the antidote and was completely immune to his own knockout drug.
At this moment, Qin Haodong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, looked at him happily, and said, “How is it? Is the effect of the Immortal Intoxication made by me good?”
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. When Li Gao released his knockout smoke, Qin Haodong also released the Immortal Intoxication he refined.
The difference was that Li Gao was not immune to all kinds of poisons, unlike Qin Haodong. As soon as he entered the room, he was poisoned by the Immortal Intoxication and did not have any strength left in him.
“You… You…”
Li Gao stuttered for a long time. However, he couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
His own knockout drug didn’t work but he was knocked out by Qin Haodong’s drug. He had been an assassin for so many years. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Qin Haodong said, “Tell me who asked you to come here. Maybe I will spare your life.”
Li Gao just closed his eyes. As an assassin, he would never betray his employer.
Moreover, Jiang Bin was Xiahou Hongxiang’s trusted subordinate. If he betrayed them in Golden Horse City, his only ending would be death.
Qin Haodong just asked casually. Even if this guy didn’t tell him, he still knew who did it. He directly locked Li Gao’s acupoints and threw him under the bed without difficulty.
He knew that Xiahou Hongxiang would send someone over again, so he did not sleep. He got up, relit the light, made a pot of tea, and sat at the table, drinking happily.
Jiang Bin and Zhang Heng waited in the room for a long time. The second pot of tea had been drunk, but Li Gao was still not back yet.
“Did something happen?” Jiang Bin said worriedly.
Zhang Heng was also a little confused. Normally, Li Gao should have been back by now.
“General, don’t worry. I’ll go and have a look now. I’m sure I’ll cut off that boy’s head.”
After that, he went out of the room and rushed to the courtyard.
Zhang Heng came to Qin Haodong’s window and peeped inside. Li Gao was not there. Only Qin Haodong was sitting there and drinking tea alone.
“What happened? Where did Li Gao go?”
He was confused. However, this wasn’t the time to be looking for Li Gao. The most important thing was to complete the task General Xiahou had assigned him first.
At this time, Qin Haodong stretched. He then yawned and muttered to himself, “I’m really sleepy. I’ll go to sleep.”
