Chapter 5, The Order of Assassins

The person in the blue attire nodded slightly

Indeed, a large basin of water was splashed over. The sound of water echoed throughout the stone chamber

In the darkness, unable to see each other, Xinghun suddenly felt a bit anxious, wondering if he should not reveal the skills he had learned from the silk scroll. Did the master in the green robe notice it?

The Star Soul smiled wryly. He did not wish to engage in the debate game of opposing arguments with Master Qingyi any longer

He grabbed his right hand and said: "You are accustomed to receiving hidden weapons with your right hand, aren't you?"

For two years, Xinghun has been walking tirelessly along this straight line in the darkness beneath his feet. Finally, one day, he grew weary of walking and shouted, "Is this ever going to end?"

The Star Soul tentatively asked again: "Does the light function of this sect rely on air?"

The Star Soul always smiles and avoids, allowing Master Qingyi to continue

He was originally a person of exceptional lightness of body skill. The moment the direction of the arrow suddenly changed and shot towards him, he realized that Xing Hun had taken advantage of the sound of the first crossbow's launch to evade his attention and move another crossbow. Being able to adapt to circumstances is commendable, yet it goes against the principles of his training.

Within a hundred zhang, both wood and stone shall shatter! However, what I have prepared is a small crossbow, seeking only its speed, not its power!" The man in the green attire replied smoothly.

"Can't we change things up a bit?" Star Soul asked with a hint of frustration. After two years of following a straight path, his patience seemed to have reached its limit

Xinghun was so angry that he wanted to curse, but after taking a deep breath, which caused his stomach to ache, he managed to hold it in

Xing Hun rolled his eyes, realizing that it was just a change of soup but not a change of medicine, still evading the hidden weapons! He was about to criticize Master Qingyi for his obstinacy when he was stunned by the words that followed

In the stone chamber, as silence settled, the first sound of the strings was heard, followed by the sound of arrows merging into a tremendous buzzing noise. However, after about ten seconds, the stone chamber fell silent once more

"Master?" Xinghun called softly. Seeing no response, he called out again: "Are you alright? Master?"

The Star Soul was not mistaken; the ten crossbows were placed on either side of the stone chamber. He tilted his head and asked the Master in the green robe: "How powerful is the force of the crossbow bolts?"

The star soul floated down and answered unabashedly: "As soon as I take a breath, I float up."

Another assassin! Xinghun sighed. Over the past two years, he had been practicing the Heavenly Pulse Internal Classic every night while lying in bed. The internal energy within his body seemed like a small snake, smoothly and joyfully swimming through the meridians.

With a scoff, the moment his finger poked the wall, the pain made him roll on the bed, clutching his hand. The descriptions in the book were truly exaggerated. At that moment, Xinghun began to resent the author of the book. However, he still needed to practice his skills. Xinghun stubbornly fantasized that when he achieved mastery in his internal energy, he would gently wave his sleeve, and the stone chamber that confined him would instantly turn to nothingness, leaving only the vast starlit sky surrounding him. Therefore, he patiently nurtured the little snake within his body, hoping that one day it would grow strong enough to protect him.

His mentor in the green attire is a diligent little bee. His hands refuse to be idle, and whenever there is a moment of free time, he will incessantly switch between hidden weapons to shoot at him. Arrows, flying daggers, steel darts, and needles are used in turn. Regardless of whether Xing Hun is already prepared to stand in a straight line ready to start running, or is relaxing with his chin propped up, listening to him tell stories

It is known that the most domineering hidden weapons in the world are launched by mechanisms, beyond the reach of human strength. If you can still evade them using lightness skills along this straight line, your agility will be unmatched! I will unleash ten crossbows simultaneously! The person in the green attire became increasingly excited, ... No one has ever attempted to evade weapons launched by mechanisms using lightness skills; if Xinghun can master this, then ...! ... It is truly exhilarating! With a swift movement, they exited the stone chamber.

I have never tried it before. The man in the blue robe is very honest. In the darkness, he cannot see the smile on the face of the Star Soul

Xinghun feels a bit of sympathy for the person in the blue robe. After two years of interaction, he has completely understood that the person in the blue robe is the type who, when asked what one plus two equals, will answer three, and when asked what two plus one equals, will say that your question is incorrect.

The person in the green attire was puzzled as to why the Star Soul was able to evade so easily. The Star Soul respectfully replied, "My master teaches with great skill." This response greatly pleased the person in the green attire

The Star Soul suddenly felt a surge of grief and indignation, and with a smile, reminded him: "Master, why not use water to splash?"

Once upon a time

A killer, of course, must be adept at executing their tasks smoothly and effectively. Hand them a gun, and they will immediately leap forward to shout "one, two, three, go" at the person, regardless of whether that individual is armed with a rain of needles or a powerful siege crossbow. This is the order! The order of the killer!

Seeing him show off, the man in blue recalled that he was only eight years old, and his tone softened: "Next time, I will have you wear some armor; it will add a bit of weight and also protect you from injury"

The man in the blue attire snorted, "Cunning!" and then leaned forward to reach out and catch him

The person in the blue attire pondered for a moment and said, "That is the next step in the practice"

Do you think this is a performance of The Matrix? That is animation, it is fake! Star Soul feels quite helpless

The person in the blue attire fell silent for a moment before asking: "How did you manage to float up to the roof?"

Your potential is excellent. My master once said that the techniques of our school rely on the power of the wind, and I could only follow the wind's direction. You were able to use splashing water to manipulate the air and rise in the enclosed stone chamber... very impressive! The person in the green attire did not know how many years he had been here. He dedicated himself to teaching in the valley, with a simple and dull mind, completely unaware that Xinghun was secretly studying the internal scriptures of the Heavenly Veins, as they all pertain to the methods of circulating qi through the meridians. He only felt that Xinghun was quick to respond and was a good material for martial arts.

The Star Soul, hearing no displeasure in the tone of the person in the green robe, understood that he was not angry with him, and playfully ran around the room, engaging in a game of hide and seek with the person in the green robe

Indeed, it is reasonable

The person in the blue attire was also pondering, and after a long while finally said: "Alright, we will switch... to using concealed weapons launched by mechanisms."

The star soul can only accept its fate, seriously dodging while risking the dire consequence of being torn apart. In the end, it was still struck in the lower abdomen, letting out a cry of despair that marked the end of the match

The person in the blue attire nodded again

Air?" The man in the green robe nodded slightly. He was completely unfamiliar with the term "air"; he only knew of wind and breath. However, having spent time with the Star Soul, he had grown accustomed to the occasional terms that emerged, such as "sound wave," which had greatly benefited him. "Indeed, we cannot capture these invisible breaths; they are both empty and existent. At times, they solidify, and at other times, they flow, just like mountain streams, waterfalls, small rivers, and great rivers, all of which are ever-changing. The essence of lightness in martial arts lies in approaching someone without them being aware, which requires..." "Indeed, we cannot capture these invisible breaths; they are both empty and existent. At times, they solidify, and at other times, they flow, just like mountain streams, waterfalls, small rivers, and great rivers, all of which are ever-changing. The essence of lightness in martial arts lies in approaching someone without them being aware, which requires... air to merge into one. We have become accustomed to the existence of air; when there are many people, it naturally goes unnoticed. A killer needs this kind of silent lightness."

This arrow left him unable to straighten his back for three days. The man in the green attire sighed and said, "If it were a siege crossbow, you would have died long ago"

With a powerful force, a single shot hit the mark, and I felt as if my insides were being torn apart. Star Soul cursed inwardly, and with a shift in thought, he asked with a sly smile, "Master, can you evade it?"

He is only eight years old, and before long, he was grabbed by the leg and lifted upside down by the man in green. "Ah! Master, your lightness skill is unparalleled, and your disciple still needs to continue working hard! Master—"

This last sentence was a playful complaint. The person in the blue attire initially intended to give him a good lesson, but softened in heart and let him go: "There is nothing wrong with being clever, but the skill you are practicing is the art of evasion in lightness, which is not permissible to be clever about. Practice again!"

The beginning of a Qingyi master's performance often features a small flying dagger

What does it feel like to have ten rows of arrows raining down in a continuous barrage? Xinghun recalled the scene in the movie where a dark swarm of locusts flew over like a rain of arrows. How small is this place? Beneath my feet is a straight line, a mere forty-nine steps long!

After being injured, I naturally cannot compete with others, and not escaping would waste my excellent lightness skills. The person in the green attire understands this principle very well

The man in the blue attire paused and said: "The poison sand has not been used yet"

As soon as the words were spoken, he敏感ly sensed the approaching aura, and with a flick of his star soul, he laughed and said: "I knew Master wouldn't be hurt!"

Why can't I make a move to block the hidden weapon

Once he felt that power coursing through his body, reaching every part of him as he wished, Xinghun was very eager to test whether a single strike could shatter a stone. He thought of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, channeling his energy to send the snake straight towards his index finger, and casually tapped the wall.

He grasped the hand of the person in the green attire and raised one, saying: "Master, you are accustomed to using your left hand to launch hidden weapons, are you not?"

Xing Hun sighed: "If your left hand is injured, does that mean you cannot use your right hand to launch hidden weapons? Please do not tell me that in such a situation, you would only escape using lightness skills, avoiding!"
