Chapter 8, Elimination of Afflictions

Chen Ting, this is not a good idea. This fellow is now a member of the Xiaolin Martial Arts School, and if we provoke him, it is likely that our entire Sanshui Gang will face trouble

At least chickens still retain the wildness of biology, being more alert than most people

Indeed, potential hazards should be eliminated as soon as possible; this trip has proven to be timely.

A dull sound of metal piercing through skin and muscle was heard

Under the skillful control of Zhao Xuanqi, the finely sharpened tips of the scissors were deeply embedded into the man's neck

The Hundred Beasts Fist, is an extremely terrifying killing martial art.

Then I will leave this matter to you, Brother Chen

Indeed, that fellow fell ill not long ago, and it is said that he was on the brink of death. When we saw him two days ago, he truly appeared to be in a frail state, so how could he possibly pass the martial arts academy assessment

Subsequently, he turned the position of the man's neck wound towards the direction of the piled goods inside the shed, while with his other hand, he suddenly pulled out the blade of the scissors that had been embedded within.

I also find it strange, and I even specially asked someone to inquire about it. This young man indeed passed the assessment of the Xiaolin Martial Arts School, and it is said that he achieved four strikes.

In silence and obscurity, without anyone noticing, the Grim Reaper has quietly descended upon the outside of the Hang Seng warehouse

In less than 5 minutes, all five guards outside the warehouse were dealt with, during which two of them even gathered together to chat, yet they still failed to make any sound before meeting their demise

At this moment, these individuals are discussing matters related to Zhao Qi

... ...

Quick! Accurate! Ruthless!

He slightly bent his body, simultaneously took a deep breath, and suddenly stepped forward.

Zhao Xuanqi has vividly interpreted the principles of hunting wild beasts through concealment, ambush, and sudden attack

In fact, committing murder, once the appropriate skills are mastered, is often easier than killing a chicken

The sudden loud noise made the five people at the table shudder in an instant, and they instinctively turned their heads sharply towards the direction from which the sound came.

Brother Zhuo, did that kid Zhao Qi really pass the assessment of the Xiaolin Martial Arts School? Why does it feel like there is something suspicious about this?

Deng Zhuo asked with some suspicion

Just as the sharp beak of a bird pierces the throat of its prey

Zhao Xuanqi's body quickly caught up, one hand supporting the man's falling body, while the other hand reached out, accurately grasping the falling cigarette gun in mid-air, gently laying the man down on the ground and placing the cigarette gun down.

He pondered for a moment, quietly slipped into the warehouse through a window with the book, and hid in a dark corner behind the cargo boxes to observe the situation inside the warehouse

In a confined space, the visibility can be considered relatively open; however, if too many people gather, it can become quite troublesome

At the moment he drew the scissors, scalding blood suddenly gushed forth, akin to a water gun, with most of the blood splattering onto the cargo box. Although it did not create much of a commotion, a small portion still splattered onto his arm. If it had not been dealt with beforehand, the metallic scent of blood would likely begin to spread immediately.

From Zhao Xuanqi's perspective, he could clearly see Deng Zhuo pick up the wine bowl beside him and drink it all in one go, his expression looking quite unpleasant

After all, direct confrontation is not currently Zhao Xuanqi's strength; Zhao Qi's body is still too weak and cannot withstand the strain

The Xiaolin Martial Arts School does indeed present some trouble; however, it is fortunate that he is merely a novice disciple of the outer sect. If there are genuine concerns, one could find a way to eliminate him or incapacitate him.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Zhao Xuanqi, hiding in the shadows, appeared as calm as water. He silently and slowly moved between the shadows of the cargo boxes, arriving at a position closest to the five individuals. Quietly, he inserted two blades of scissors into the cloth bag at his waist, and took out a needle and thread kit from his bosom and the books. Clenching his right fist, he wedged all the embroidery needles from the kit between the fingers of his right hand.

On the other side, the bag of lime was opened and held in the left hand

The man was unable to make any sound at all, nor could he move in any way; his eyes rolled back, his mouth slightly opened, and he completely lost all signs of life

Zhao Xuanqi compressed the air in his lungs, causing his vocal cords to vibrate, and let out a roar that resembled the mighty roar of a tiger

Chen Ting said faintly

Once an opportunity is found, leave the other party with no chance of survival at all

These guards are merely ordinary foot soldiers, at most possessing some experience in street brawls, and they are not even considered martial artists. Although Zhao Qi's body is still quite weak, with a sharp weapon in hand, his attack power increases geometrically. Coupled with Zhao Xuanqi's martial arts experience, his lethality against ordinary people remains terrifying, and how could these individuals possibly withstand it

Deng Zhuo was overjoyed upon hearing this and repeatedly toasted to Chen Ting.

He casually wiped the blood from his hands and scissors onto the man's clothing, then lifted the person's garment to cover the wound and the pool of blood, further preventing the smell of blood from spreading, and quickly stealthily moved towards the direction of the next target.

Hehe, it's just a fledgling after all. I'm afraid he hasn't even fought two matches, so what use is it to put on a show and make some noise? The martial arts schools teach their registered disciples nothing but flashy moves; they may look intimidating when they fight, but in a real life-and-death struggle, who waits for them to pose? I could kill him with a single strike; in a life-and-death battle, it's not about making a few sounds. To be honest, I have killed other practitioners before, some even more skilled than him.

Of course, we cannot take action ourselves. In today's chaotic world, who in Tianhai Prefecture is not involved? As long as the payment is sufficient, those desperate individuals will dare to do anything. However, even if we hire someone to act, we must make reasonable arrangements. For instance, we could create a disturbance while this young man is dining out, injure him, and then escape. In any case, we must not leave any evidence that could lead the Xiaolin Martial Arts School to us. The Xiaolin Martial Arts School is indeed a formidable entity, but it cannot dominate Tianhai Prefecture entirely.

Now not only has this deal fallen through, but we also have to worry about whether this kid will come looking for trouble in the future, it is truly unfortunate

Being able to produce four sounds, one's martial prowess cannot be considered weak

Five men are seated around a round wooden table, with daggers, long knives, and iron rods placed on several chairs nearby. On the round table, there are several jars of wine and side dishes.

Deng Zhuo

The aorta, the vagus nerve, and the vocal cords were all completely severed with a single stroke!

Deng Zhuo furrowed his brow and said

Leave this matter to me, I know a few fellow townsmen, all of whom are desperate individuals, ruthless and cold-hearted, suitable for this task

The warehouse is brightly lit, with two yellow lights hanging from the dome, and there is an open space of several dozen square meters.

The man's body slowly slumped down, and the cigarette he was holding in his mouth also fell from mid-air

Deng Zhuo and the two subordinates who were following him that day were unexpectedly caught in the midst of it.

Dealing with the guards outside the warehouse is a straightforward task; the real trouble lies with the people inside the warehouse

Chen Ting smiled and said

A tall man sitting next to Deng Zhuo spoke up

This Zhao Qi is someone I have met with you before; I am quite clear about this person. He has no significant background, and at first glance, it is evident that he lacks combat experience, rendering his martial prowess negligible

The roar became even louder in the reflection of the vast, enclosed space of the warehouse, almost akin to the explosion of a hand grenade

This is to prevent the sudden ejection of blood from the neck, splattering onto his body and clothing, causing him to be heavily tainted with the smell of blood, which would affect the subsequent stealth attack.

After resolving the guards outside the warehouse, Zhao Xuanqi approached the warehouse and could faintly hear voices coming from inside, although he could not make out the words clearly
