Chapter 118: Bait And Kill
” Lei Qinzhu, How is your progress is going?”
” Master, I have successfully comprehended the second layer of Crimson Frenzy Blade Arts.”
” Not bad. However, you are still lacking a bit with your internal qi. You need to reach Mid stage of Profound Awakening Realm to successfully use the second layer of Crimson Frenzy Blade Arts.” Sang Qian replied.
” Master, About Miss Qiuliu…”
” No need to worry about her. As you know her wish, you need to work hard to fulfill it.”
” But Master, the third layer…” Lei Qinzhu only spoke, but Sang Qian gave him a stare. ” Qinzhu, As I said earlier, You aren’t prepared for the third layer yet.”
” You need to reach the Advance stage of Profound Awakening Realm without the third layer. Only then you are able to use it.”
” But…”
” I believe I have said enough.”
” I…I understand, Master.” Lei Qinzhu replied with a lowered voice, lowering his head.
‘ Hmph, Bastard, You are keeping the good thing away from me, huh? Soon, the poison I gave to you will work. And, Heh…The dojo and your daughter would be mine.’
” Recently, I am not feeling well. I feel like my internal qi is getting clogged.” Sang Qian sighed as he turned around.
” Master, This isn’t good. We should return back to the dojo and you must take some rest.” Lei Qinzhu spoke in a worried voice.
” As for the doctor, I shall ask someone to come.”
” Well, Since I already came here…”
” Master, Miss Qiuliu must be getting worried. We should return.” Lei Qinzhu replied. ” Not to mention, if you need anything, I will get it right away.”
” Is that so?” Sang Qian nodded. ” There is an important thing to do today. We are supposed to collect 50,000 taels of gold from one of the businesses.”
” Ah, I know about that. I shall take care of it.” Lei Qingzhu looked at his subordinates and nodded. ” Master, I have some work to do. So, Let me escort you back.”
” En…”
After returning, Lei Qinzhu draped a black cloak and hurried out of the dojo. Navigating his path, he soon reached the dark alley, finding a hooded person waiting in the darkness.
” Haha, I hope I wasn’t late, yes?” Lei Qinzhu laughed a bit as he gazed at the person. However, the hooded person didn’t reply.
Lei Qinzhu frowned a bit as he saw the hooded figure walking towards him silently. As he placed his hands in his sleeves, Lei Qinzhu grabbed the short sword on his waist.
However, all the hooded figure did was take out a box and open it.
” Haha… I see…” Lei Qingzhu couldn’t help but curse himself for being too paranoid. ” You have brought the things I asked for you, huh?”
” A bottle of Pink Moon Powder and a bottle of Energy Refinement Pills, Yes?”
The hooded figure nodded silently, closing the box. Lei Qinzhu couldn’t help but get annoyed. ” Fine, I know the Pink Moon Powder is an illegal drug. But you can’t just be this discreet. You think I will snitch on you? You weren’t silent before?”
However, the hooded figure only shrugged as gestured Lei Qinzhu to give him the price. With a grumble, Lei Qingzhu searched around for a bit before pulling out a stack of gold bills and gave to the hooded figure.
” Here, Keep this. 80,000 taels of gold for both of them.”
The hooded figure nodded as he took the money. As he was about to pass the box to Lei Qinzhu, something strange happened.
” Huh?”
Like a magic trick, the box vanished, replaced with a shiny dagger with an exquisite pattern on its blade. Like a smooth flow, the dagger shot towards his neck like a flash of lightning.
” KNHURKKH!”
Blood sprayed out, but all Lei Qinzhu could do was clutch the crimson hole in his neck without being able to utter a single sound.
” Well well, What do we have here?”
Lin Qinzhu’s eyes turned wide when he saw the figure removing the hood. He recognized him! It was none other than Jia Hao.
” What? Speechless, are you?” Jia Hao wiped the blood from his damascus knife as he looked at Lei Qinzhu.
” If you are thinking the bodyguards outside would come here to save you, you are gravely mistaken. ” Jia Hao grinned, making him look utterly demonic under the moonlight.
” After all, How could they know their young master is facing danger if you can’t shout?”
” Now, Die peacefully, and thanks for this aphrodisiac.” Jia Hao rubbed his palm, putting away that dagger in the Pot of Miracle.
” I will use it on the woman you are going to use. After all, How can I let your beloved feel cold after your death?”
Lei Qinzhu could only gurgle as he fell to the ground, looking at Jia Hao with utter hatred, anger, and sorrow. Not long after, his body stopped twitching and the light in his eyes faded.
Jia Hao took the corpse and threw it into the pot.
As he knew the future of Lei Qinzhu, Jia Hao came earlier and ambushed the dealer who was supposed to meet Lei Qinzhu. After that, he wore his robe and made a deal with Lei Qinzhu, waiting for the right moment to strike.
With his strength, Jia Hao was confident to face off against Lei Qinzhu easily. However, why work so much when you can simply ambush your enemy and kill him?
[ Host can pick Four out of these Six attributes]
[ Crimson Frenzy Blade Arts (Medium)]
[ Iron Sand Palm Technique (Low)
[ Calligraphy (Medium)]
[ Fleeting Steps (Medium)]
[ Negotiation (Medium)]
[ Whip Kick (Very Low)]
‘ Huh? The pot is giving me more chances to pick the skills, eh?’ Jia Hao was surprised.
But without any delay, he picked Crimson Frenzy Blade Arts, Fleeting Steps, Negotiation, and of course…Calligraphy.
‘ Haah, I finally got the calligraphy skill. Now, My handwriting won’t look like shit.’ Jia Hao sighed in relief as he turned around to leave.
[ Ding! The Pot of Miracles absorbed enough energy. It will take six hours to reach the second layer]
Jia Hao nodded when he heard the voice in his head. Without delaying, he turned around and left hurriedly.
‘ Not bad, This Fleeting Step is pretty fast. Not to mention, the good thing about this is that the sound of my footsteps is almost zero.’
He didn’t care about his murders, because he already collected their corpses. And without their body, both of them would only suspected as missing.
Soon enough, he reached the Cai Family Manor. When he walked inside, he saw Cai Yixue sitting among a pile of files.
” Wife, You should take some rest.”
