late at night.
third camp.
Tao Jin, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes.
She glanced at her roommate who was still sleeping soundly, and then walked out the door lightly.
In the old place, Tao Jin saw the mysterious man in the hat again.
"Sure enough, Tao Jin, you still chose to practice the Shadow Breath and Blood Sutra."
The man in the bamboo hat took off his mask while talking, revealing an ordinary face.
Tao Jin, who has practiced magic skills, is already one of his own in the eyes of the man in the hat.
"You don't seem surprised?"
Compared with the painful entanglement last time, Tao Jin, who had started to practice the Shadow Breathing Blood Sutra at this time, looked very calm.
"If you really would rather die than practice magic arts, you would not hide my existence from the Black Armored Guards, and you still secretly saw me last time."
The man in the hat said with a smile.
When Tao Jin heard this, she also smiled, but the smile was a bit cold.
"Anyway, you are already a member of my Shadow Blood faction."
The man in the hat said: "In the future, I hope you can cooperate with the actions of my Shadow Blood faction."
When he said this, the man in the hat was already confident.
The moment Tao Jin practiced the Shadow Breath Blood Sutra, she was destined to be caught by him.
"What action? To be an internal response, to eat and disintegrate the black armored guards in Kangyun County from the inside?"
Tao Jin asked back.
"Yes."
The man in the hat admitted generously: "If there is a problem inside Kangyun County, it is naturally easy to attack from the outside."
Tao Jin didn't reply immediately, but paused for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure about me?"
The man in the bamboo hat was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "Otherwise?"
"I can do things for you, but I also want benefits."
Tao Jin did not shy away from explaining the purpose directly. Obviously, she had thought about these words before: "You have to give me the pure blood of the monster."
Previously, Tao Jin learned from the dossiers of those demon warriors that the blood needed for the Shadow Breath Blood Sutra should preferably be the heart blood of powerful warriors, or the pure blood extracted from the blood of monsters.
"As long as the pure blood of monsters?"
The man in the hat said: "You still insist on the so-called bottom line?"
"No." Tao Jin shook her head, "In my current situation, it is difficult to obtain high-quality training blood. If you can give me the hard work of a powerful warrior, I will accept it."
Tao Jin's answer made the man in the hat very satisfied.
He also seemed to have been prepared, and directly took out two porcelain bottles from his arms, one blue and one yellow.
"The cyan porcelain bottle is the pure blood of monsters, and the yellow porcelain bottle is the heart blood of warriors. These two bottles of blood are enough for you to use for a month, and they are also enough to help you break through the realm of Qi."
As he spoke, the man in the hat threw the porcelain vase into Tao Jin's hands.
Tao Jin took it, narrowed her eyes slightly, looked it over, and then put it in her pocket.
"It's only enough for one month, it's too little."
Tao Jin put forward conditions again.
"Don't worry, Kangyun County will definitely fall in one month's time. By then, I will give you as much cultivation blood as you want."
The man in the hat showed great confidence.
"But now the news is spreading that Yunying City reinforcements will arrive at any time."
Tao Jin was questioning what the man in the hat said.
"So what, they will arrive within a month. By that time, we have already occupied Kangyun County. At that time, even if they attack by force, they will not be able to regain the place. Unless, the existence above the Mortal Realm appears in the here."
The man in the hat said: "However, above the Mortal Realm, how can such a level of master easily participate in such a small situation? Once they appear, the friction between the two big states will be completely escalated."
What the man in the hat said was well-founded, and Tao Jin nodded silently.
"The benefits are given to you, so you have to do something, right?"
The man in the hat also made a request at this time.
"doing what?"
Tao Jin asked.
"You need to kill someone."
The man in the bamboo hat lowered his voice.
"Kill who?"
Tao Jin's tone was cold.
"Xu Ning in Fengliu Lane."
The name that the man in the hat said made Tao Jin pause.
She stared at the man in the bamboo hat, "That's my brother from Taojiazhuang."
bang bang.
The man in the bamboo hat threw out two more blue porcelain bottles.
Tao Jin took it, and was dull for a moment: "It's okay to kill him, but I can't do it with my strength."
The man in the hat waved his hand, and threw Tao Jin a medicine bag again: "This amount is enough to kill a martial artist in the fifth level of the mortal realm with poison."
Tao Jin looked at the medicine bag, and frowned: "Five levels of Mortal Realm?"
"That's right, Xu Ning from Fengliu Lane has been promoted to the fifth level of the Mortal Realm."
What the man in the hat said made Tao Jin clenched his fists.
Before Xu Ning killed the pursuers and returned to the rebel camp alive, according to the description, Xu Ning's identity was finally confirmed, and some rebel masters re-evaluated Xu Ning's fifth-level mortal realm strength based on the description of the survivors.
"Hunting and killing a Xu Ning-level genius with your own hands, isn't it an exciting thing for you?"
There was bewitchment in the words of the man in the bamboo hat.
Tao Jin smiled coldly: "You are so strong, why don't you kill him yourself?"
"I'm not quite sure."
The man in the hat was very calm: "My identity is too important in the city. If something goes wrong, the arrangement in Kangyun County will be in chaos."
Tao Jin laughed out loud, and said in a contemptuous tone, "You tell me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out right away? Isn't it a good deal for me to expose the secret and catch you in exchange for forgiveness from the black armored guards?"
"One, in Feiyun State, as long as you touch the magic skill, even if it's a great skill, you can't be exempted. After all, you are just a small character."
"two… "
The man in the hat stared into Tao Jin's eyes: "A person like you will not give up the pleasure of entering the country quickly brought by magic skills."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the air.
Tao Jin slightly avoided the gaze of the man in the hat.
"Tomorrow night, you go to Xu Ning and tell him that you are in trouble in your practice, ask him to explain your confusion, and take the opportunity to poison him. After killing him, I will be there to help you out of the city."
The reason why the man in the hat decided to personally escort Tao Jin out of the city was also because Captain Du was killed in Lushui Lane before, and the black armored guards were also restricted from leaving the city.
As Tao Jin was absorbed into the Shadow Blood Sect, he was considered a talented young man, and the high-ranking rebels also wanted to train Tao Jin in the future.
"it is good."
Tao Jin agreed.
Seeing Tao Jin's straightforwardness, the man in the hat sighed, "You are really ruthless. I think you will kill me without hesitation if you have the chance in the future."
The man in the hat knew that people like Tao Jin, who made the decision to practice magic arts after experiencing inner pain and entanglement, must also have a cool nature.
Tao Jin listened, but did not answer.
"gone."
After the man in the hat explained everything, he was about to leave.
Before leaving, he seemed to think of something: "I'm in charge of Qing Wu."
After all, point your toes and disappear into the wall.
"Kill Xu Ning?"
Tao Jin's eyes gradually turned cold.
She walked quickly, dodging guards patrolling the night.
Pass the pond inside the camp.
Tao Jin took out the yellow porcelain bottle containing the warrior's blood.
She uncorked the bottle, revealing a strong smell of blood.
"It's human blood..."
Tao Jin made a judgment.
Afterwards, Tao Hibiscus spilled the blood in the bottle into the pond, and then dropped the porcelain bottle.
Watching the blood dissipate and the porcelain bottle sink, Tao Jin left the place.
…
the next day.
After Xu Ning took a break, he ate something on the side of the road.
There are very few stalls in Fengliu Lane now.
Most of the street vendors with small businesses have escaped before.
Xu Ning and Tao Qingping returned to the residence together.
As soon as he got home, he saw Tao Jin waiting.
"Tao Jin?"
Seeing Tao Jin, both of them seemed quite surprised.
Although the two of them, like Tao Jin, came from the same Tao family village, they had no personal relationship.
"Take the liberty to visit."
She said so, but there was no apology in Tao Jin's tone: "Xu Ning, I have been in trouble for a long time, and I can't break through. I came here to ask you for advice."
"Ask for advice?"
Tao Qingping and Xu Ning were not surprised when they knew Tao Jin's intentions.
Everyone in Taojiazhuang knew that Tao Jin didn't make any progress after entering the Black Armor Guard.
"Go in."
Seeing this, Tao Qingping took the initiative to open the door.
"Should it be convenient?"
Tao Jin looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt that Tao Jin's eyes had a deep meaning.
"convenient."
Xu Ning did not refuse the Taojiazhuang partner's request.
The three of them walked into the yard one after another.
Xu Ning was at the end. Before stepping into the yard, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the corner of the alley.
There was no one there.
Xu Ning walked into the courtyard thoughtfully, and closed the door.
bang.
It was the sound of the latch being hung.
Then, at the corner of the alley where Xu Ning was looking, Guan Qingwu wearing a bamboo hat showed half of his face.
There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
