Chapter 872 Tianchen Palace, the Three Venerables of Sun, Moon and Star
This tea stall had obviously been taken over by an assassin, so there was no need to elaborate on the fate of the original owner of this place.
Mo Cheng, who once came from the [Shadow Sect], was very familiar with the methods of assassins. Most of them simply killed the person who needed to be replaced and then borrowed the identity of the person being replaced.
Similarly, Mo Cheng, who was born in the [Shadow Sect] and once received the title of [Master Assassin] from the elders, is more proficient in assassination than the assassin in this tea stall.
With two fingers, he lightly clamped the spike that was piercing his temple. Mo Cheng didn't even look at the assassin disguised as an old man beside him. Instead, he commented directly: "The body shape is disguised, and the calluses on the palm of the hand are removed with potion. Even the face and steps are very close to the appearance of an old man. What a pity..."
"Walking is too vigorous. In order to be able to launch a fatal attack at any time, the muscles inside the body are tense, making it difficult to pretend to be as weak as an old man."
With a forceful move of two fingers, the Emei Spear made of fine steel broke immediately. Mo Cheng flicked his finger and the broken Emei Spear pierced the old assassin's throat like a sniper bullet.
The remaining assassin disguised as a child stood there in shock. Mo Cheng touched the table with his hand and picked up the cup. "Mixed toxins, one is applied on the table, and the other is applied on the cup. It penetrates the skin and enters the body. Well, one should also be added to the tea. It will become a triple mixed toxin when you drink it."
Mo Cheng drank the tea in one gulp and expressed his feeling, "It's refreshing and sweet. What did you add? The broken tea leaves at the tea stall taste like Longjing tea before the rain."
Mo Cheng himself didn't know much about tea, but while he loved drinking it, he couldn't stand his son often guzzling cola and iced black tea, so he often forced him to drink tea to quench his thirst.
After a while , Mo Cheng learned a little bit about tea.
However, the assassin disguised as a child obviously would not answer Mo Cheng's questions. After seeing Mo Cheng drink the tea, he even jumped high into the air and ran away. He knew that he was no match for Mo Cheng because the main assassination task of this operation was undertaken by the assassin disguised as an old man.
He is a supporting role rather than the main fighting force.
Even the main fighting force was killed by Mo Cheng in one move, so the child assassin naturally had no chance of having any illusions.
Originally, the assassin had planned to commit suicide by crushing the poison hidden in his teeth to avoid being captured alive and interrogated by Mo Cheng, but when he saw Mo Cheng drink the tea, he decisively tried to escape.
He knew very well what effect the medicine added to the tea would have. The medicine added to the tea was colorless, tasteless and harmless, but once it was mixed with the other two medicines smeared on the table and the cup, it would become a deadly poison.
The moment the tea enters the throat, the victim's blood and qi will seem to solidify. Once the true energy is activated, it will cause internal breath disorder that lasts for ten breaths.
It can be said that people who are poisoned by this kind of poison, even if they have profound internal strength, will not be able to react accurately for at least three breaths.
In three breaths of time, with Shen Xueqi by Mo Cheng's side, the assassin had no way to kill him, but there was still a way to escape from here while the other party's internal breath was disordered.
However, the assassin obviously did not understand two things. One was whether Mo Cheng was willing to let him leave, and the other was whether the triple mixed poison would be effective on Mo Cheng.
The answer to both questions is no.
The assassin who had just jumped up suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, and then a huge force stopped his leaping momentum and pressed him back to the ground.
Mo Cheng clasped his five fingers around the assassin's neck and pulled him directly to the back of the tea stall. In the shed where firewood was piled, he saw the bodies of two old men and one child.
Apparently, the family who made a living by selling tea here suffered an unexpected disaster because of the good location of their tea stall.
“You guys are really capable.”
Mo Cheng's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, unless you looked at the movements of his hands.
He just slapped the assassin's body with his palms, and each palm smashed a bone and beat a muscle into pulp. After many slaps, the assassin's more than 200 bones were broken and all the muscles were beaten into pulp. It was more like a ball of flesh and blood than a human being.
Then Mo Cheng rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into the earthen stove used for boiling water.
After stuffing the firewood in and lighting it, Mo Cheng calmly watched the assassin being burned to death inside the stove without any ability to resist.
Mo Cheng could clearly feel that the assassin wanted to escape and scream when he was burned by the flames, but he was no longer able to move inside the earthen stove and could only be burned to death.
After burning the assassin to death, perhaps because his death was too tragic, Mo Cheng actually felt a trace of resentment slowly gathering in the earthen stove.
Judging from this situation, it is estimated that he died too tragically and died with his eyes open, becoming a ghost.
But a ray of light flashed by, a pure light that could not tolerate any impurities, which completely dispersed the resentment that had just gathered, and completely purified the assassin's soul.
Now, let alone becoming a ghost , his soul will be shattered and he will never be reborn.
After doing all this, Mo Cheng turned around and looked somewhere outside the tea stall, "You've been looking for so long, and you haven't decided whether to take action or retreat?"
"Or, do you want me to help you decide?"
As soon as the words fell, a sword light rushed towards the air, but in that deserted environment, there was suddenly a sound of metal clashing.
Three old men holding scepters appeared, with extraordinary faces and solemn demeanor.
"We are the Venerables of Tianchen Palace, and I am the Venerable Sun."
"Venerable Moon."
"Star Venerable."
The three of them introduced themselves one after another, although in Mo Cheng's opinion, their self-introductions were almost nothing, because he had no idea what the [Tianchen Palace] was.
However, there is one thing he is very clear about, that is, everyone who appears before him at this moment is an enemy, not a friend.
The tip of the sword pointed obliquely at the ground. Mo Cheng's eyelids were half closed, his heart as clear as a mirror and calm as water. He only waited for the moment when the opponent showed a flaw, and then let the storm come.
"Wait!" Reverend Sun sensed the unparalleled sword intent on Mo Cheng's body and did not rush forward. Instead, he said from a distance, "We are not here for rare treasures, so you can rest assured."
Then, Sun Venerable looked at Shen Xueqi, "This girl is also born under the fate of Lonely Star and Disaster. The Tianchen Palace has already found out that the strange phenomenon in the sky a few days ago was caused by this girl's fate of Lonely Star and Disaster. We don't ask for any rare treasures, but we need to take this girl back to Tianchen..."
"Nonsense!"
Before he could finish his words, the sword intent surged into the sky, and a long river of sword energy rushed towards the three venerables like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
