MTL - Fantasy: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely-Chapter 79 The relationship between master and disciple is over?
“After the Territory Lord is killed, the Twin Towers City will enter a state of martial law as soon as possible. It will not be that easy to leave the city.”
“So, the first option is that you hide in a secret room in the courtyard for the time being. After a few days, the limelight has passed, and then you can quietly leave the city.”
“The second option is that I arrange for you to blend into the cargo of a caravan and get through.”
Jiang Heng was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'd better find a way to get out of the city on my own!"
The young man looked surprised and opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
The red sun sets in the west and the jade rabbit rises in the east.
This night, the moonlight is like water, cool and soft.
Jiang Heng put on a full set of night clothes and carried a high-grade treasure sword on his back. He avoided the patrolling guards and walked quietly from house to house.
Not long after, they arrived outside the Territory Lord’s Mansion.
With a slight leap, he climbed over the wall and entered.
The area of the Territory Lord's Mansion is very large, and the patrolling guards are every ten steps and one sentry every hundred steps, and all of them are formal warriors in the physical realm. They go back and forth with each other, guarding the entire Territory Lord's Mansion as tightly as an iron barrel.
Of course, in front of a top expert like Jiang Heng, loopholes can be found in even the tightest guard.
What's more, Jiang Heng had seen the patrol routes and defense plans of the guards, and was able to invade them easily.
Under the night, Jiang Heng was like a dexterous black cat, jumping silently from house to house.
Not long after, we arrived at a spacious and secluded house.
This is the training room of the domain lord. At night, Yu Gaohan spends most of his time practicing here.
“Squeak!”
Jiang Heng pushed the door open directly and entered.
"who?!"
A majestic deep shout suddenly came from the room.
Under the dim moonlight, the two people immediately saw each other.
Jiang Heng was wearing black clothes and carrying a long sword on his back. It was obvious that he was coming with bad intentions.
The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the room was about to call out, but found that the person who came had turned into a black stream of light and came to him in an instant.
“镪!”
The long sword has been unsheathed, and the silver sword light flashed across the room.
"So fast!"
The middle-aged man's complexion changed drastically, and he only had time to lean back suddenly.
“Tsk!”
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh sounded clearly in the dark night.
Yu Gaohan felt a pain in his neck, and his vision was spinning. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"I am dead?"
For a moment, Yu Gaohan felt extremely absurd and unwilling.
Decades of hard training and struggle have led to him climbing to his current high position and possessing his current strength. It is obvious that he can reach the spiritual sea realm as long as he breaks through a little further.
With a lifespan of three hundred years, one's strength will skyrocket and his status will rise.
But in a blink of an eye, everything was in vain, and even life disappeared.
“Ta!”
Yu Gaohan's head fell to the ground, his eyes widened silently, and he lost all breath.
Jiang Heng glanced at the headless corpse, stepped back, avoided the gushing blood, and walked outside the house.
He knew that even if it didn't cause much movement, the strong smell of blood would soon attract the attention of the guards.
So, there is no need to try to escape quietly, speed is the first.
Jiang Heng looked up at the sky, determined the direction, then bent his knees and kicked his feet suddenly.
“Boom!”
The ground felt as if it had been hit by a meteorite. The bluestone slabs with a radius of 100 meters instantly shattered, and spider web-like cracks spread further.
Even after a while, the training room was crumbling and collapsed.
Jiang Heng's body instantly flew into the sky, turned into a meteor, and jumped through the air in the direction outside the city.
"who?"
"What happened?"
“This is the direction of the training room!”
The earth trembled slightly, and the roaring sound resounded throughout the world, immediately alerting all the guards in the mansion.
Except for the guards at certain locations, everyone else rushed towards the training room under the command of the leader.
Soon, the scene of the training room came into view of everyone.
I saw that the small courtyard where the spacious and elegant training room was originally was now completely in ruins.
The ground was covered with broken bluestones the size of fists, and most of the training room collapsed. It was a tragic scene like an earth dragon turning over.
“Quick! Go and see how the Territory Lord is doing!”
The group immediately began to clean up the ruins, and soon found Yu Gaohan whose body had been separated.
Although they were mentally prepared when they saw the scene, at this moment, everyone still felt chilled in their hearts.
The death of the lord of a domain is definitely a major event that shocks the entire Qingzhou, and as guards, they are definitely responsible for it.
The guard leader suddenly exclaimed, his voice trembling.
“Come on, please go and ask for the guardian!”
…
High in the sky, Jiang Heng was flying as fast as a meteor, wearing a hunting suit.
Of course he can't fly, but this leap is no different from flying.
After drawing an elegant arc in the air, Jiang Heng suddenly landed in a wilderness a few kilometers outside the city.
After identifying the direction for a while, Jiang Heng used his body skills and quietly walked away into the distance.
Hello.
after one day.
Jiang Heng put on the uniform of a true disciple and returned to the sect with a normal expression.
The fifth peak, the main training hall of the sect master.
“Master! The mission has been completed!”
Jiang Heng sat cross-legged opposite Bai Haocang with a calm expression.
Bai Haocang opened his eyes, revealing a mysterious light, and said leisurely:
“Really? It seems you are really ready.”
“Then what I want to tell you next is the real mission.”
Jiang Heng’s expression froze, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Killing the lord of a domain turned out to be just a tentative preliminary task, so the real task must be several times more difficult.
More importantly, there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind this mission.
He declined in a deep voice: "Master, I am a little tired, and the task of assassinating Yu Gaohan is already my limit."
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to complete this next task.”
Bai Haocang's eyes were deep, the sword intent in his eyes was hidden, and he was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long while, he closed his eyes and said indifferently:
“In that case, go down!”
Jiang Heng stood up and bowed.
“Master, goodbye!”
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.
He knew in his heart that since he said this, from now on, the relationship between the two of them as master and disciple would probably be in name only.
But in his opinion, no matter how much kindness Bai Haocang showed to him, he would not be able to act on the other party's orders knowing that it was a trap.
“The best thing we can do is to repay the favors we received in the past by finding an opportunity.”
“It seems that owing favors is not a good thing.”
“From Elder Wen before to Bai Haocang now, they have all been kind to me, but in the end, they all had to pay more to repay them.”
While walking, Jiang Heng was thinking solemnly.
“Now that I have reached this point with Master, I know another side of him, and it is definitely an extremely secret side.”
“No matter what the impression of him was in the past, we must guard against the possibility of him killing someone and silencing him.”
“In this world, no one can just look at the face on the surface.”
