YM778.TV Chapter 169
No one could have imagined that an assassin, who lived by taking others\' lives, would leave a final warning and advice to his opponent, Lu Qing.
Even Lu Qing showed some emotion in his eyes as he silently gazed at the assassin\'s corpse, lost in thought.
As the aura of "Patriarch Qian" faded, his appearance and body began to change gradually.
His originally short and fat body started to stretch and elongate, becoming taller and much slimmer.
His face transformed into an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
Such a bizarre change left the guests feeling creeped out.
"Muscle and Bone Transformation Technique, a secret technique that top assassins of the Seven Kill Tower must practice. It allows one to completely alter their physique and appearance, changing identities, truly eerie.
It is precisely because of this technique that the assassination success rate of the Seven Kill Tower is so high, making it a feared assassination sect.It is also because of this technique that the Seven Kill Tower has survived till now. Even several top sects have tried to annihilate them but failed."
The young man in plain clothes sighed.
The guests felt chills down their spines.
This Muscle and Bone Transformation Technique is indeed extremely bizarre and indefensible.
To completely change one\'s appearance and assassinate, who could guard against that?
After all, who in this world doesn\'t have one or two close people?
Wei Xinghe was even more horrified.
"Master Zhi Yue, now that this person is dead, what about An\'er\'s future safety…"
The Seven Kill Tower is so terrifying. If they have targeted him, can Zian still have a way out?
"Master Wei, please rest assured. The rules of the Seven Kill Tower state that once an assassin takes on a mission, the reward must be paid. If the assassination is successful, seventy percent of the reward goes to the assassin. If the assassination fails and the assassin dies, the reward belongs to the Seven Kill Tower.
Unless the assassin himself admits failure and compensates the sect, the Seven Kill Tower might consider returning the reward.
Therefore, if the client wants to continue targeting Young Master Wei, they must issue another bounty.
But this time, even the top twelve killers failed.
To continue the assassination, the required reward would be more than doubled.
I don\'t believe the client will be willing to pay such a high price."
The young man in plain clothes reassured.
Everyone understood the domineering nature of the Seven Kill Tower.
The young man\'s meaning was clear: as long as someone issues an assassination bounty at the Seven Kill Tower and an assassin takes the mission, unless the assassin admits failure and compensates, the reward must be paid regardless of success or failure.
Of course, the Seven Kill Tower dares to act this way because they have their backing.
Perhaps it is because, as Master Zhi Yue said earlier, the Seven Kill Tower\'s assassination success rate is very high, giving them the confidence to set such rules.
Even Wei Xinghe felt slightly relieved upon hearing this.
To move an assassin stronger than the top twelve, the bounty must be extremely high.
It is clear that the mastermind is targeting him.
If the other party could afford to hire such an assassin, they would have directly targeted him instead of indirectly attacking Zian to provoke him.
"On the other hand, I am more worried about Young Master Lu."
At this moment, the young man in plain clothes continued.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing also looked over.
"According to the assassin\'s last words, he called himself \'Heavenly Solitude.\' If I am not mistaken, he should be ranked ninth among the top twelve of the Seven Kill Tower.
Although the Seven Kill Tower has countless assassins, the positions of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends and thirty-six Heavenly Stars are fixed.
Since you defeated \'Heavenly Solitude,\' causing him to commit suicide, the ninth position among the top twelve is now vacant.
The positions of the thirty-six Heavenly Stars hold special significance in the Seven Kill Tower. Now that one is vacant, it will inevitably attract other assassins\' covetous eyes.
To compete for the position of a Heavenly Star, one must prove oneself.
The quickest way to prove oneself is naturally to assassinate you, the martial artist who defeated \'Heavenly Solitude.\'
So, I guess that next, many assassins from the Seven Kill Tower will want to challenge you.
The Seven Kill Tower might even issue an internal kill order against you.
The assassination techniques of the Seven Kill Tower are bizarre and difficult to deal with. You must be careful."
The young man in plain clothes warned solemnly.
"Is that so? Then won\'t Xiao Yan be in danger?"
Hearing this, Lu Qing\'s expression became serious.
If the Seven Kill Tower really targets him, it will indeed be troublesome.
He is not afraid for himself but is worried that those people might harm Xiao Yan.
"You don\'t have to worry about that. The Seven Kill Tower has its pride. According to its rules, to prove one\'s ability to compete for the position of a Heavenly Star, one must openly defeat you with assassination techniques.
If they resort to threatening others to force you into submission, not only will the Seven Kill Tower not recognize such achievements, but they will also impose punishment.
The positions of the thirty-six Heavenly Stars hold special significance in the Seven Kill Tower and will not be obtained in such a trivial manner."
The young man in plain clothes explained.
"I see. In that case, let them come. I would like to see what is so bizarre about the Seven Kill Tower."
Hearing that it would not affect others, Lu Qing was relieved.
As for the assassinations from the Seven Kill Tower…
The Muscle and Bone Transformation Technique can indeed change appearances, which is miraculous.
But in front of him, who possesses soul power and special abilities, no matter how miraculous the transformation technique is, it will be futile.
Unless the assassins are at the Precelestial level, he need not worry too much.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing asked, "Master Zhi Yue, are there any Precelestial-level assassins in the Seven Kill Tower?"
"Yes!" The young man in plain clothes answered confidently.
"But don\'t worry. Even the Seven Kill Tower must abide by the Sacred Mountain\'s prohibition. Precelestial-level warriors must not act against those below Precelestial without cause.
If they dare to violate the prohibition openly, even the Seven Kill Tower cannot withstand the pressure from the Sacred Mountain and the Four Great Secret Lands."
"That\'s good to hear. I also want to see the other secret techniques of the Seven Kill Tower. This is a good opportunity."
Now Lu Qing was truly relieved.
Seeing that Lu Qing remained calm and composed in the face of potential assassinations, the guests were all impressed.
They recalled the words of "Heavenly Solitude" before his death.
Although they did not understand what the so-called millennium change meant, they somewhat believed in the idea of the child of destiny.
If even a stunning figure like Lu Qing could not be the child of destiny, they could not imagine what kind of monster the real child of destiny would be.
