An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Although there was still a faint smell that was hard to identify, and what kind of poison it was, Zhao Jue didn't care about that, so he took a gamble.

He bet that the last poison was used to dissolve the external Qi!

After all, it was one of the top 20 poisons in the martial arts world. Time was tight and the task was heavy. He had to wait until the last one was accurately identified before detoxifying. Not to mention the corpse, even the ashes would be cold!

The Qi was condensed in the fingers, pressing the acupuncture points around the body to prevent the poison from invading the heart.

Then he immediately pushed the door open, used Qinggong to find a few pharmacies, and kicked the door open directly. Ignoring the shopkeepers who were scared to death, the Jinyiwei waist badge flashed and turned around to grab medicine.

Fortunately, Zhao Jue himself was also an expert in using poison, and he knew how to detoxify several poisons.

Back in the room, he set up four stoves, and regardless of whether to use medicine pots to decoct the medicine, he threw various herbs into different stoves in proportion. Then he sorted the remaining herbs, ground them into powder and mixed them into ointment, and applied them directly to the wound.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the ointment was applied, a piercing pain came along the wound. Zhao knew that this was a sign that the ointment was effective, and he quickly bit the towel tightly, trying not to make any sound.

After a quarter of an hour, the pain disappeared and gradually turned into a trace of coolness, wandering around his limbs. At this time, the medicine in the stove was almost boiled, and he took a bowl of it in a bowl, took it, and waited for a while before taking another bowl.

After four bowls of medicine were swallowed, the true qi, which had been a little sluggish, gradually became lighter. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed to be effective.

"Damn it, it's really good to have more skills!"

He quickly tried to circulate the true qi and found that it had returned to normal, without any sluggishness or blockage.

The bet was right!

But Zhao didn't dare to relax his vigilance at this time. As a professional killer, he knew that if the first assassination did not achieve the expected effect, it would be the best choice to immediately conduct a second round.

Because at this time, the target will often relax his vigilance because of a successful escape, which is the best time. Besides, it was not known whether the ambush in the yard was a prelude, and the real backhand might still be behind.

And they did not take action on the way to the pharmacy. It was estimated that one reason was to wait for the poison to take effect, and the other was that this place was too close to the imperial city, and they were worried about making too much noise and it would be difficult to escape.

Roughly estimating the time for detoxification, compared with the time for the poison to take effect, it would not be long before the second round of assassination would come.

Zhao did not dare to delay, holding the knife and lying on the ground like a toad. He stopped running the true qi, and ran the breath-retaining technique to the extreme, trying to reduce his breath as much as possible, so that people would think he was dead.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, several people climbed over the wall and entered the yard. Although the sound of landing was very light, Zhao put his ear to the ground and heard it clearly.

Judging from the sound: three people, with low cultivation, holding knives, facing the door. It seems that the archer is not there, or the archer is among them.

Listening to the sound getting closer and closer, Zhao had several hidden weapons in his other hand. In order to prevent the ambush of masters from afar, he even held two smoke bombs in his mouth.

"Squeak..."

When the door was pushed open, the flying knife in his hand also flew out, and the long knife decisively cut down as the hidden weapon flew out. After that, he continued to pick, stab, and poke, regardless of whether there were people or not, with the goal of forcing the three people into the yard.

"Puff"

The sound of the long knife cutting into the body was heard, followed by a few retreating footsteps. Zhao knew that the time had come, and he used all his true energy to spit out two smoke bombs. His goal was to capture one person alive under the cover of smoke, so as to find out who wanted to kill him.

The smoke quickly filled the entire yard, and before a person in the smoke could distinguish the direction, Zhao slapped him on the forehead with a palm. The majestic true energy quickly entered the body, and the man died without even making a sound.

After a slight sense of true energy, after distinguishing the position of the remaining person, he quickly swept out with a light tap of his toes, changed his palm into a claw, and in the blink of an eye, he grabbed the neck of the last person and lifted him up high.

With the other hand, he tapped the acupuncture points on the upper body with his fingers, and then he inserted his fingers into the man's mouth and took out the poison pill hidden under his tongue.

"You are unlucky. I just happen to know how to detoxify those poisons. Don't worry, I won't ask anything now. When we get to Zhaoyu tomorrow..."

"Even if you are a clay Buddha, you will have to ask for mercy. It will be up to you whether you say it or not!"

The masked assassin's eyes were curved, as if he was laughing, and with a vague sense of relief. Zhao was a little puzzled. What was this kid laughing at? Why did he look like he had been constipated for half a year and suddenly had diarrhea.

"Archer!" Zhao suddenly remembered.

But it was too late. Two long arrows flew in from outside the smoke one after another. One hit the assassin's head, bringing out a cloud of blood mist. The other was at a tricky angle, forcing Zhao to retreat two steps.

When he wanted to get up and chase, the sensing range had already returned to normal.

"Fuck!" After pulling out the bloody familiar arrow, Zhao couldn't help but curse.

The archer ran away again. In less than two hours, two rounds of assassination, no one was caught alive. He didn't know whether the enemy was too cunning or his skills had declined.

After throwing the arrow viciously, he couldn't help but sigh, "This is still my home, it's almost a killer's den!"

After thinking for a while, he shouted into the room, "Zhaocai! Don't hide, dead dog, the only dog ​​in this broken yard who is not a killer tonight is you!"

Zhaocai seemed to have sensed something, and ran out to bark at the air.

"You really are... Why are you still pretending when everyone is dead? Come on, let's go to Zhaoyu to sleep!" Zhao patted Zhaocai's back, picked it up, and ran towards Zhaoyu with Qinggong.

Xiaoqi, who was on duty at the door, saw a man holding a dog and was about to stop him when he saw the man's face clearly under the light of the lantern. The stop quickly turned into flattery, "Lord Zhao is really working day and night. How long has it been since you went back? You are here to investigate the case again!"

"By the way, this brave and handsome dog must be used to investigate the case, right? Lord Zhao, don't worry, I will get two pounds of good beef right away! The money will be recorded in the account of case handling expenses!"

Zhao couldn't help but widen his eyes after Xiaoqi's flattery. Look, this is called level!

With just one sentence, the local dog at home is fed with royal food, and he can also use the name of investigating the case to settle the account!

Zhao touched Zhaocai, who was grinning in his arms. I didn't realize that your stupid dog has such potential!

"Stop flattering me. What's the point of investigating a case? This is my dog! Okay, okay, do your job. I'm just worried about it, so I'm here to keep an eye on it. Do what you need to do!" After reprimanding Xiaoqi righteously, Zhao patted his shoulder, raised his eyebrows and walked inside.

"Brother, you're flattering the wrong person!"

After flattering Xiaoqi, he just smiled and said nothing, and then went back to work.
