Chapter 927 Qimen Displacement Technique

After Jiang Bin returned to his home, he called a pair of assassins, who were his followers, to his room.

These two men were called Zhang Heng and Li Gao. They were well-known assassins in Tortoise Kingdom. Unfortunately, they offended a big shot, so they were currently in hiding in Jiang Bin’s mansion.

After greeting him, Zhang Heng said, “General, what can we do for you?”

“There’s something I need the two of you to do.”

As Jiang Bin spoke, he introduced Qin Haodong’s situation to the two of them.

Li Gao laughed and said proudly, “General, it’s just killing a suckling boy. There’s no need for both of us to deal with him. I can kill him alone.”

Jiang Bin said, “This is the task Great General Xiahou personally handed over to me. You cannot be careless. Are you confident?”

“I’m 100% sure.” Li Gao said, “In terms of cultivation, I’m at the final stage of the Voiding Realm. He’s just at the late stage of the Voiding Realm. His cultivation is a level lower than mine. In terms of killing methods, he was still in diapers when I started killing people!”

Zhang Heng then said, “Yes, General. What we cultivate is assassination. When we were roaming around Jianghu, there were many masters at the stage of the Combination Realm who had been assassinated by us. What’s more, we never failed before.”

Jiang Bin was still hesitant and said, “I think it’s better for both of you to work together. After all, that boy can summon a seventh-level demonic beast. It is very powerful.”

Li Gao said proudly, “General, you think too much. We are also notorious in the killer world. If both of us go and kill such a young man and this news spreads out, it will be a shame for us.

“Furthermore, in our presence, he doesn’t even have a chance to summon his demonic beast.”

Zhang Heng cooperated and said, “General, I think so too. Only one of us is required to go and kill such a person.”

Because the two of them were so confident and they had pledged their lives, Jiang Bin did not say anything more. He said to Li Gao, “All right! I’ll leave it to you.”

Li Gao said, “Don’t worry, General. You just sit here and drink tea with my brother. After you finish a pot of tea, I’ll bring that boy’s head to you.”

After that, he strode out of the room and rushed to the courtyard.

According to Jiang Bin’s instructions, he sneaked into the small yard where Qin Haodong lived.

This guy was not just bragging. He was really good at carrying out assassinations. He hid in the shadows of the night and was as light as a ghost without any weight.

If it weren’t for Qin Haodong’s strong Spirit, it would be really difficult for him to sense Li Gao’s presence.

Lingwu Continent was not like earth. There were no glass windows at all.

Li Gao sneaked to the window and found a crack to look inside. When he saw that the person inside was sleeping on the bed, he lightly poked a hole in the window paper and slowly inserted a bamboo tube in.

Then, with a puff, thick yellow smoke slowly spread into the room.

A pleased smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. This kind of yellow smoke was the exclusive knockout drug made by him. Even a seventh-level demonic beast would be knocked out by it.

At this point, the only thing he needed to do was to go in and behead Qin Haodong.

After observing for a while, he found that it was still very quiet in the room, so he opened the window and jumped into the room.

Qin Haodong was still sleeping on the bed and his surroundings were very quiet. Li Gao took out the dagger on his back and walked towards the head of the bed.

In his estimation, he only needed to raise his hand and behead Qin Haodong. Then, his task would be completed.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly felt dizzy. Then, his limbs went weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop. His dagger slipped out of his hand.

“What’s going on?”

Li Gao was shocked. It was obvious that he had been poisoned. However, he had already taken the antidote and was completely immune to his own knockout drug.

At this moment, Qin Haodong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, looked at him happily, and said, “How is it? Is the effect of the Immortal Intoxication made by me good?”

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. When Li Gao released his knockout smoke, Qin Haodong also released the Immortal Intoxication he refined.

The difference was that Li Gao was not immune to all kinds of poisons, unlike Qin Haodong. As soon as he entered the room, he was poisoned by the Immortal Intoxication and did not have any strength left in him.

“You… You…”

Li Gao stuttered for a long time. However, he couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

His own knockout drug didn’t work but he was knocked out by Qin Haodong’s drug. He had been an assassin for so many years. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Qin Haodong said, “Tell me who asked you to come here. Maybe I will spare your life.”

Li Gao just closed his eyes. As an assassin, he would never betray his employer.

Moreover, Jiang Bin was Xiahou Hongxiang’s trusted subordinate. If he betrayed them in Golden Horse City, his only ending would be death.

Qin Haodong just asked casually. Even if this guy didn’t tell him, he still knew who did it. He directly locked Li Gao’s acupoints and threw him under the bed without difficulty.

He knew that Xiahou Hongxiang would send someone over again, so he did not sleep. He got up, relit the light, made a pot of tea, and sat at the table, drinking happily.

Jiang Bin and Zhang Heng waited in the room for a long time. The second pot of tea had been drunk, but Li Gao was still not back yet.

“Did something happen?” Jiang Bin said worriedly.

Zhang Heng was also a little confused. Normally, Li Gao should have been back by now.

“General, don’t worry. I’ll go and have a look now. I’m sure I’ll cut off that boy’s head.”

After that, he went out of the room and rushed to the courtyard.

Zhang Heng came to Qin Haodong’s window and peeped inside. Li Gao was not there. Only Qin Haodong was sitting there and drinking tea alone.

“What happened? Where did Li Gao go?”

He was confused. However, this wasn’t the time to be looking for Li Gao. The most important thing was to complete the task General Xiahou had assigned him first.

At this time, Qin Haodong stretched. He then yawned and muttered to himself, “I’m really sleepy. I’ll go to sleep.”

After that, he walked to the bed and flung himself down on the bed. Soon, the sound of loud snoring could be heard.

Zhang Heng waited for a while longer before poking a hole through the window paper. Then, he inserted a small bamboo tube in and blew out a puff of yellow smoke.

Li Gao and he were originally partners, so their modus operandi was exactly the same.

After a while, when he felt that the drug should have taken effect already, he jumped into the room from the window. Then, he walked toward Qin Haodong with the ghost-head knife in his hand.

Even when he walked to the bed, Qin Haodong still didn’t move and was snoring loudly on the bed.

“Boy, go to hell!”

Zhang Heng raised the knife and cut off Qin Haodong’s head. Then he grabbed the hair of the head and jumped out of the window.

“The General’s task is too simple.”

Zhang Heng was delighted. He would surely be rewarded for completing the task Jiang Bin had assigned.

Not far off, he saw a shrub at the side of the road and threw the head in his hand there. Then, he quickly returned to Jiang Bin’s home.

Jiang Bin paced back and forth in the room. He was waiting anxiously. When the door opened, Zhang Heng came in from outside.

He asked eagerly, “How did it go?”

Zhang Heng said proudly, “General, don’t worry. I just cut off that boy’s head with my own hands. He’s already dead.”

“Is it really that easy?”

Jiang Bin asked in disbelief, “Are you sure you killed Qin Haodong?”

Zhang Heng said confidently, “Of course! I saw him lying on the bed. I then cut off his head with my knife.

“However, I did not think it’s good to bring back that bloody head, so I threw it into the shrub by the road. If you don’t believe me, I can take that head back now.”

Jiang Bin waved his hand and said, “No need. Just make sure you’ve succeeded.”

Just like this, he had completed Xiahou Hongxiang’s task. He was also extremely happy. Only then did he remember Li Gao and asked, “Where is Li Gao? Where has he gone?”

Zhang Heng said, “I don’t know, too. I didn’t see Li Gao along the way. I guess he will come back tomorrow morning.”

Both Zhang Heng and Li Gao were just Jiang Bin’s followers, so he didn’t mind. He said, “All right! Go back and have a rest. You’ll be amply rewarded tomorrow.”

“Thank you, General.”

Zhang Heng went back to rest happily.

Early the next morning, Jiang Bin arrived at Xiahou Hongxiang’s Lord Mansion.

Seeing him, Xiahou Hongxiang immediately asked, “How did it go?”

Jiang Bin said, “It went very smoothly. That boy’s head had been chopped off.”

“Well done. This boy finally got what he deserved!” Xiahou Hongxiang gnashed his teeth and said, “Brother, nephew, I have avenged you.”

After that, he took Jiang Bin to the courtyard to greet Princess Xingyue.

No matter what, Zhao Xingyue was the Princess of Tortoise Kingdom. He had to adhere to basic etiquette.

After entering, he greeted Zhao Xingyue and chatted with her for a while.

At this point, the Little Witch walked in. “Sister Xingyue, breakfast is ready. Let’s get ready to eat.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Go get Big Brother Qin. Let’s have breakfast together.”

“I’ll go now.”

The Little Witch agreed and ran out happily.

A sneer appeared at the corners of Xiahou Hongxiang’s and Jiang Bin’s mouths. They thought to themselves, “Want to ask Qin Haodong to come here to eat? Go to hell to find him.”

Xiahou Hongxiang was afraid that Princess Xingyue would be suspicious of him when she found out that Qin Haodong had been killed, so he said, “Your Highness since you are about to have breakfast, we will leave first.”

Jiang Bin and he turned around and were about to leave. Before they reached the door, they saw Qin Haodong coming in from outside.

“This… this…”

Both of them were very shocked. Then, Xiahou Hongxiang stared coldly at Jiang Bin and seemed to be asking, “Wasn’t Qin Haodong already beheaded? Why is he still alive now?”

Jiang Bin was also confused. Zhang Heng was very sure that he had chopped off Qin Haodong’s head. However, the situation did not seem to be like that at all now.

Seeing their stunned expressions, Qin Haodong said playfully, “What’s wrong, Great General Xiahou? Don’t you recognize me after a night?”

Last night, he had noticed Zhang Heng’s arrival, so he directly used the Qimen Displacement Technique to replace Li Gao under his bed with him when Zhang Heng was about to cut off his head.

Therefore, the head chopped off by Zhang Heng was Li Gao’s head, not Qin Haodong’s. Qin Haodong was unscathed.

Xiahou Hongxiang was also a cunning fox. He quickly calmed down and said with a smile, “It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect that Mr. Qin came as soon as we are about to leave.”

After saying that, he left the courtyard with Jiang Bin hurriedly. Outside the gate, he angrily asked at once, “What the hell is going on?”

Jiang Bin said, “Zhang Heng said he had chopped off Qin Haodong’s head. I’ll go back and ask him what’s going on now.”

Zhang Heng got up in the morning and was thinking about how Jiang Bin would reward him. Suddenly, Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin came in angrily.

“I greet the Generals…”

Before he could finish, Jiang Bin slapped him in the face and said, “Bastard, didn’t you say that Qin Haodong was dead? Why is he still alive now?”
