Chapter 227: Chapter 168 Bone and Muscle Changing Technique

“Family Head Qian” severed his own heart meridian, to everyone’s surprise.

As for his last words, they caused considerable shock among many.

Nobody would have guessed that an assassin, whose livelihood was taking others’ lives,

would leave behind words of advice and caution for Lu Qing, his adversary.

Even Lu Qing had fluctuations in his eyes as he silently watched the corpse of the assassin, lost in thought.

And as “Family Head Qian’s” breath faded, his face and body began to change gradually.

...
His originally short and plump body slowly distorted and stretched, growing taller and much thinner.

His face also turned into that of a very ordinary middle-aged man.

Such strange changes made many guests shudder.

“Bone and Muscle Changing Technique, a secret technique that top assassins from Seven Killings Tower must cultivate, allows a complete transformation of one’s physique and appearance, changing identities, truly strange.

It is by virtue of this technique that the assassination success rate of Seven Killings Tower is so high, becoming a feared assassination sect.

It is also because of this technique that Seven Killings Tower has survived to this day, with several top sects having tried to eradicate them without success.”

The cloth-clothed youth sighed.

The guests immediately felt goosebumps.

This Bone and Muscle Changing Technique was indeed extremely strange and hard to guard against.

Going to assassinate someone with a completely different face—who could be cautious against that?

After all, in this world, who doesn’t have one or two close acquaintances?

Wei Xinghe was even more startled and afraid.

“Mr. Zhi Rui, now that this person is dead, what about the safety of An Er in the future…”

If they were targeted by such a terrifying Seven Killings Tower, could Zi’an still have a way to survive?

“Please rest assured, Wei Family Master. The rule of Seven Killings Tower is that the assassination mission, once accepted by an assassin, requires payment. If the assassination is successful, seventy percent of the payment goes to the assassin, but if it fails and the assassin dies, the payment goes to Seven Killings Tower.

Unless the assassin himself admits the failure and compensates the sect, Seven Killings Tower might return the payment.

Therefore, if the client wants to continue the assassination of Young Master Wei, they must issue a reward again.

But this time, even an assassin from the Upper Twelve Gang has failed.

The cost of continuing the assassination would probably more than double.

I don’t think that person would be willing to pay such a high price.”

The cloth-clothed youth reassured them.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood the dominance of Seven Killings Tower.

The implication from the cloth-clothed youth was clear: once an assassination reward is posted in Seven Killings Tower, and someone accepts the mission, unless the assassin himself gives up and is willing to compensate,

the payment is obligatory, whether the mission succeeds or not.

Of course, Seven Killings Tower dares to operate this way, surely they have something to rely on.

Perhaps it is as Mr. Zhi Rui previously said, the high success rate of assassinations by Seven Killings Tower gives them the confidence to set such rules.

Even Wei Xinghe felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

To compel an assassin more powerful than those from the Twelve Heavenly Gang, the bounty must be extremely high.

The person behind the scenes was clearly targeting him.

If they could afford to hire such a person, they would likely have directly offered a bounty to assassinate him,

rather than indirectly trying to provoke him by targeting Zi’an.

“Compared to that, I am actually more worried about Young Master Lu.”

At that moment, the cloth-clothed youth continued.

Everyone was taken aback and involuntarily looked towards Lu Qing.

Lu Qing looked back at them.

“According to what the assassin said before his death, he called himself ‘Heavenly Orphan.’ If I’m not mistaken, he must be the one ranked ninth among the Upper Twelve Heavenly Gang in the Seven Killings Tower.

Although the Seven Killings Tower has countless assassins, the spots for the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang are fixed.

Now that ‘Heavenly Orphan’ has been defeated by you and has committed suicide, the ninth spot in the Upper Twelve Heavenly Gang is empty.

The position of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang holds a very special significance within the Seven Killings Tower, and now that one is vacant, it will surely attract the covetous eyes of other assassins.

To vie for a position of the Heavenly Gang, one must prove oneself.

And the quickest way to prove oneself, naturally, is to assassinate you, the martial artist who defeated ‘Heavenly Orphan.’

So if my guess is right, next, there will probably be quite a few Seven Killings Tower assassins who will want to meet you.

Even the Seven Killings Tower might issue an internal assassination order to target you.

The assassination secret techniques of the Seven Killings Tower are strange and tricky; you need to be careful.”

The cloth-clothed youth said solemnly.

“Is that so? Isn’t Little Yan in danger then?”

Hearing this, Lu Qing’s expression turned slightly solemn.

If the Seven Killings Tower really intended to target him for assassination, that would indeed be troublesome.

He was not afraid for himself, but he was worried that those people, sparing no means, might harm Little Yan.

“You can rest assured about that. The Seven Killings Tower has its own pride. According to its rules, to prove one’s eligibility for the Heavenly Gang, one must defeat you honorably using assassination techniques.

If someone threatened others to coerce you into submission, not only would the Seven Killings Tower not recognize such a feat, but they would even punish it.

The position of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang holds special significance in the Seven Killings Tower; they wouldn’t let someone take it so frivolously.”

The cloth-clothed youth explained.

“I see, then let them come; I want to see what strange aspects the Seven Killings Tower really holds.”

Hearing that it wouldn’t affect others, Lu Qing was much relieved.

As for the assassinations from the Seven Killings Tower…

The Bone and Muscle Changing Technique, which can alter one’s appearance, is indeed marvelous.

But in front of him, who possesses Divine Soul Power and Superpower, even the most magical secret technique of transformation is utterly useless.

Unless it was an assassin from the Innate Realm, he needn’t be overly cautious.

Thinking this, Lu Qing couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Zhi Rui, are there any Innate Realm assassins within the Seven Killings Tower?”

“Yes!” The cloth-clothed youth answered affirmatively.

“But rest assured, even the Seven Killings Tower must abide by the Holy Mountain’s ban. Martial artists above the Innate Realm are not allowed to attack humans below the Innate without cause.

Should anyone dare to overtly break the ban, even the Seven Killings Tower wouldn’t withstand the pressure from the Holy Mountain and the Four Great Secret Places.”

“That’s very good, indeed. I also want to experience other secret techniques of the Seven Killings Tower; this could actually be a good opportunity.”

At this point, Lu Qing truly set his worries aside.

Seeing how Lu Qing remained so calm and composed in the face of possible terrifying assassinations, all the guests were filled with admiration.

They recalled the words ‘Heavenly Orphan’ had said before his death.

Although they were unclear about what exactly this so-called millennium upheaval was,

they were somewhat inclined to believe in the notion of the Child of Fate.

If even someone as outstanding as Lu Qing couldn’t be the Child of Fate,

they couldn’t imagine what kind of devil the real Child of Fate would be.
