late at night.
Located in a private house in Jinyun City.
"Remember, our mission this time is to lure out this unnamed night watchman and find out who he really is. So... no matter what happens, you must not show up or take action!"
The tall bounty hunter has now disguised himself as a simple and honest man.
He said solemnly to another bounty hunter beside him.
"Even if I am defeated or die in battle, you cannot show up and may not bring the information back to the organization!"
The other bounty hunter nodded.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
"From now on, I will hide around you and keep a close eye on your every move. As long as that mysterious night watchman makes a move on you, I will know who he is!"
"But... if this person is in disguise, you will need to remove his disguise during the fight."
The tall bounty hunter smiled.
"Of course I know this. Don't worry. As long as he attacks me, no matter how well he disguises himself, I will let you see his true face."
…
In the blink of an eye.
It was already Xiao Shi's seventh day patrolling the city.
The duration of this task is ten days.
It will continue until the next round of tasks.
Xiao Shiru was the same as usual.
While patrolling, he paid attention to the situation around Cen Qingci and kept an eye on whether the bait attracted any big fish.
She didn't know if it was because of her two kills that made Cen Qingci, like the other night watchmen, feel that no bounty hunter would dare to come to Jinyun City again, causing her to return to her original lax state.
Xiao Shi was also speechless about this.
I feel that this woman has experienced too few setbacks, her life has been too smooth, and she has lacked the beatings of society!
However, this kind of bait is still a high-quality bait and can easily attract big fish.
It’s a pity that the noise I made the first two times I caught fish was too loud.
It seemed that other fish dared not come again.
Observed for a day.
There was no sighting of the bounty hunters lurking in again.
Xiao Shi couldn't help but start thinking about breaking through to the ninth level of the martial realm.
Based on his investigation and understanding over the past few days.
He has already determined that the different ninth levels of the martial arts realm will have completely different strengths.
Entering the ninth level of the martial realm represents the limit of the physical body.
At least for warriors who have entered the martial arts realm without physical training, once they step into the ninth level of the martial arts realm, it means that they have reached the limit of their physical body.
And everyone's physical limits are often different.
Depending on the technique each person practices and their own physical constitution, their physical limits will be different.
Therefore, when entering the ninth level of the martial arts realm, there will be a clear distinction between the strong and the weak.
Although the Red Tiger Art is not the most advanced martial arts among the many martial arts in the Seven Star State, it is also considered to be a relatively advanced martial art.
Therefore, disciples who practiced the Red Tiger Art and reached the ninth level of the martial arts realm were generally stronger than those bandits and thieves outside.
This also made Xiao Shi realize.
The warrior who had entered the ninth level of the martial realm at Mount Liuyue, whom he had first met, was only the weakest type who had entered the ninth level of the martial realm.
"With my current strength, I can only fight against the weakest of the ninth level of the martial realm, and my chances of winning are slim..."
"Although we should be able to kill him using the items on us, there are far more than one ninth-level warrior among the evil forces out there!"
Xiao Shi knew that killing a person who had reached the ninth level of the martial realm and destroying an evil force that existed in the ninth level of the martial realm were two completely different concepts.
With my current strength, it is obviously difficult to do.
We have to wait.
It was evening.
Xiao Shi came near Cen Qingci and used the enemy-detecting talisman to look for fish as usual.
Although I don't hold out much hope, I still have to give it a try.
Then stick the enemy detection talisman on your body.
Xiao Shi began to look around at the crowd.
"Um?"
Suddenly I made a discovery.
At a glance, he saw a big man with a red ball of light on his head in the crowd.
This man, like the two previous bounty hunters, had a flawless disguise.
It’s a pity that under the effect of the enemy detection talisman, all his disguises are useless.
Xiao Shi saw through it at the first sight.
However, Xiao Shi discovered something different about this bounty hunter.
The red ball of light above his head was not as bright and huge as those of the previous two bounty hunters.
This also means that…
This person's hostility towards Cen Qingci is far less than that towards the previous two bounty hunters.
This made Xiao Shi narrow his eyes slightly.
I became alert.
He silently condensed a mark of qi and blood on the other person's body.
Through the perception of his qi and blood through the mark, he found that the fluctuations of this person's qi and blood were extremely terrifying!
This is clearly the fluctuation of qi and blood that belongs to the ninth level of the martial arts realm!
Moreover, its qi and blood were even more amazing than the one he first encountered who had entered the ninth level of the martial realm!
Xiao Shi was not too surprised by this.
The Senluo organization has lost two bounty hunters who have reached the eighth level of the martial realm in a row. Naturally, it is impossible for them to allow bounty hunters below the eighth level of the martial realm to assassinate them. They will definitely send out bounty hunters who have reached the ninth level of the martial realm.
"This is a shark coming directly!"
Xiao Shi's eyes flickered.
If there was still blood, he would be confident enough to kill even a shark like this.
Unfortunately, after the eroded blood was used up, it no longer dropped.
"With the items I have now, and a sneak attack, I should still have a chance to kill him, but there will be certain risks..."
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.
This person is not like the one who had entered the ninth level of the martial realm at Liuyue Mountain. Through sensing the fluctuations of qi and blood, he can tell that the other party is much stronger than the one who had entered the ninth level of the martial realm at Liuyue Mountain.
Facing such a strong man...
You still have to kill him, which is quite difficult.
also.
Through the red light ball above the other person's head that showed his hostility, Xiao Shi also discovered that this person's hostility towards Cen Qingci was not very strong.
It’s no wonder…
This bounty hunter was not here to assassinate Cen Qingci, he was here for me!
He is different from the previous two bounty hunters.
The two bounty hunters before were solely intended to assassinate Cen Qingci, but the bounty hunter who came this time was targeting himself!
This made Xiao Shi even more cautious about acting rashly.
The other party obviously came prepared.
Be sure to be on guard at all times.
Even if it is a sneak attack, it is difficult to achieve the same effect as before.
"This is a... cautious shark. It's not easy to deal with."
Xiao Shi shook his head.
That being the case.
Then leave him alone for a while.
Anyway, I am in the dark and he is in the light.
The initiative is in your own hands.
As long as he doesn't take action, he can only wait.
"Then let him wait."
Xiao Shi decided to ignore him.
Although he was eager to catch fish, Xiao Shi also knew that he could not eat every fish.
A shark like this...
It's too hard to eat.
Take it slow first.
Wait until you have enough strength, then come and eat him.
Anyway, this shark will stay in Jinyun City and will not move away in the short term.
