"Trying to run?"

Su Que glanced at the two figures swiftly leaving.

He exerted force underfoot, fully displaying the Celestial Deformed Footlight Technique, and his figure suddenly blurred, even showing signs of disappearing.

The whole person flickered and appeared behind one of them.

He struck a punch towards this person's back.

Bam!

The fist solidly hit the person's back.

Seven Injuries Fist Force swept into the body.

In just an instant, it shattered all the flesh and bones of this person.

A human skin drooped down and fell to the ground with a "plop."

Shattered flesh and bone mixed with blood oozed out steaming from the holes of the human skin.

The other person caught sight of his companion's fate from the corner of his eye.

The eyes under the hood opened wide, pure terror written all over them.

"Great... Hero, don't kill..."

Knowing he had no chance of escape, he turned around and begged for mercy.

Bam!

Su Que kicked out, instantly shattering his entire head into a red and white paste.

Thud!

The headless body dropped to its knees and collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

After killing three people in succession, Su Que did not squat down to search the corpses as he usually would.

Instead, he exerted force again underfoot, quickly changing direction and shooting back.

At this time, in the direction he was rushing, a shadow flickered and disappeared.

When Su Que killed the three, his peripheral vision had already caught this figure quietly approaching the area.

Moreover, from this person's body technique, he detected traces of the Tang Sect's Lightweight Body Technique "Ghost Shadow Smoke Step."

Therefore, this person was likely from the Tang Sect.

If he met the Tang Sect's contact through normal channels, it would take several people to pass the information along.

If he killed or injured the Tang Sect's contact, it would be known to several others.

"Greedy Wolf" would then be wanted by the Tang Sect.

The identity of "Greedy Wolf" could no longer be used.

Upon seeing the Tang Sect assassin, he was delighted and immediately wanted to capture him to interrogate more about the Tang Sect.

So, he fully exerted the Celestial Deformed Footlight Technique, rushing full speed towards the shadow.

...

Profound Tiger exerted the "Ghost Shadow Smoke Step" with all his might, internally crying out for his mother.

He came to the Ghost Market today to purchase poisons for cultivating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.

Fond of gambling and pleasure, he had little money left in his pocket.

Moreover, three days ago, Su Que took over a hundred taels from him, leaving him with even less silver coins.

Today at the Ghost Market, he also noticed Su Que buying poisons.

Coincidentally, these poisons were precisely what he needed for cultivating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.

He deemed that this person was very likely an Outer Sect Class B Assassin just like him.

As far as he knew, Class B assassins absolutely did not reach the Meridian Opening Realm.

And he was at the peak of the Qi Blood Realm, making him top-tier even among Class B assassins.

In addition, he was quite confident in his hidden weapon technique and lightweight skill.

He believed that in the Martial Arts Realm within Jian'an Prefecture City, no one could surpass him.

Therefore, he considered this person not his match.

He made a plan in his heart.

— Once this person leaves Qingfeng Town, he would make his move.

After Su Que left Qingfeng Town, he tailed him from far behind.

But unexpectedly, when he quietly slipped into this forest, he witnessed a horrifying scene.

This person's speed and power were beyond his comparison.

Not only a Meridian Opening Realm expert, but he could also probably rank within Jian'an Prefecture City!

At that moment, he had no time to ponder why this person knew the cultivation method of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, only wanted to flee the scene.

However, to his surprise, despite the distance, he was detected.

Exerting "Ghost Shadow Smoke Step" desperately, he swayed his right hand twice.

In just an instant, he launched two waves of hidden weapons.

The hidden weapons, laced with poison, flew towards Su Que with extreme speed.

Uninterrupted, Su Que swung two consecutive punches as the hidden weapons approached.

The Fist Force shot out, colliding with the incoming hidden weapons.

Instantly, the hidden weapons shattered under his Fist Force, fragments scattering like butterflies.

Profound Tiger was about to launch a third wave of hidden weapons when...

Su Que had already reached behind him, delivering a punch to the back of Profound Tiger's head.

A "bam" sounded, Profound Tiger's vision went black, his head hurtling forward under the Fist Power.

Until it hit a tree with a dull thump before rebounding, leaving him lying face-up on the ground.

Su Que bent over, grabbed Profound Tiger's hair, and lifted him onto his shoulder.

He then swooped back to pick up the bag he had placed on the ground earlier and left the scene.

With Su Que's current Lightness Technique, even carrying a person, he could leave no trace on the ground.

All the way, he no longer needed to clear his traces with True Qi while flying.

Flying all the while, he soon stopped in a forest thirty miles away.

He set down the bag and leaned the still unconscious Profound Tiger against a large tree.

'This person's lightweight skill and hidden weapon technique are more refined than Zhang Bengen's, likely an Outer Sect Class B Assassin from the Tang Sect...'

'Could it be Profound Tiger...'

This thought suddenly arose in Su Que's mind.

'Could it be such a coincidence?'

Immediately, Su Que lifted this person's hood and parted his hair.

He saw a bruised area on the left back of this person's head.

This was exactly where he had knocked Profound Tiger out with a punch that day.

'Most likely it's Profound Tiger...'

'He's the Tang Sect's contact. According to Zhang Bengen, they are taken to read the Tang Sect's Martial Arts Secret Manual by the contact.'

'So, this Profound Tiger should know where the Tang Sect stores their Martial Arts Secret Manuals in Jiannan Prefecture City.'

'I could ask him for this location and the strength of the guardian there.'

'If the strength is weaker than mine, I will directly go there and seize the Tang Sect's Martial Arts Secret Manual!'

With this thought, Su Que slapped Profound Tiger's shoulder.

Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi invaded Profound Tiger's meridians and spread to his limbs.

Immediately, Profound Tiger's limbs shook violently, emitting dull sounds.

Su Que's Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi had shattered all of Profound Tiger's limbs.

The severe pain roused Profound Tiger.

Seeing Su Que in a cloak and hood before him, his previously hazy eyes sharpened.

"Who are you... what do you want?"

He spoke nervously, trembling uncontrollably.

"I only have a few questions for you. After answering, I'll let you go."

Su Que spoke in a rough voice.

"What... what do you want to ask?" Profound Tiger replied nervously.

"Where is the place in Jiannan City where your Tang Sect stores Martial Arts Secret Manuals?" Su Que asked.

Profound Tiger answered, "Inside Black Cloud Mountain."

"Black Cloud Mountain?" Su Que frowned.

He wasn't very familiar with the surroundings of Jiannan Prefecture City.

"Where?"

Profound Tiger replied, "Over fifty miles northeast of Jiannan Prefecture City."

"Oh." Su Que continued to ask:

"How strong is the person guarding there?"

Profound Tiger replied, "The guardian there is someone with two meridians opened."

'The guardian has only opened two meridians?'

Su Que thought.

If that's the case, he could easily go there and seize the Tang Sect secrets.

'Not sure if there's a trick to this.'

So, Su Que told Profound Tiger, "I will spare your life, but if I find things aren't as you say when I visit your repository, I will come back and kill you."

Upon hearing this, Profound Tiger's eyes showed a hint of fear. After swallowing, he spoke:

"The guardian is around that strength."

"But the Scripture Pavilion is within the Tang Sect's base."

"If there's any commotion inside, the top leader of the Tang Sect in Jiannan Prefecture will also act."
