Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 158 Killing Machine

"The kids are quick to realize things."

The Tang Sect Master smiled at Zhao Zhen.

"Hehe, are you used to being the bait instead of the bait...?"

Zhao Zhen chuckled, but his expression quickly returned to seriousness.

“But Master Tang, I’ve already used this trick once in the Qinling Mountains. I’m worried that those little devils won’t be so easily fooled again.”

"Ok, I know."

The Tang Clan Master smiled slightly before continuing, "Therefore, this time, I plan to let them choose the venue."

"Let them choose the venue? What does that mean?"

Zhao Zhen was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"I plan to send a challenge letter to the Hieiyama ninja in your name."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen immediately understood what the Tang Clan Master meant.

First, use the challenge as a pretext, and yourself as bait, to gather the Hieiyama ninjas together. Ideally, you should lure out Ono Noriyoshi, the leader of the Hieiyama ninjas.

In this way, the Tang Clan would have the opportunity to take action against Ono Noriyoshi.

After all, given the hatred the Hieiyama ninjas harbor towards him, if he were to offer himself up, they would certainly have no reason to refuse.

"But Master Tang, your plan is certainly good, but what if those little devils don't accept my challenge?"

"Hehe, they'll agree."

The Tang Clan leader chuckled, a barely perceptible glint of malice flashing in his eyes.

"You'll be staying at my Tang Clan for a few days now."

Zhao Zhen's eyes flickered slightly, and soon he also clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Tang Clan leader.

"In that case, this junior will follow your orders, Master Tang."

"Yes, you must be tired after traveling all this way. Go down and rest for a while. I've already had someone arrange a room for you."

"Thank you, Master Tang."

As soon as he stepped out of the room, the chilling feeling that had been lingering around Zhao Zhen vanished instantly.

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the back of Tang Sect Leader inside the room.

Fortunately, none of the people who had tried to assassinate him before gave off such a dangerous vibe.

If this Tang Sect Master were to personally assassinate him, could he really still escape with his life?
After a brief moment of contemplation, Zhao Zhen quickly dismissed the idea.

Impossible. With his current strength, he would most likely die at the hands of others.

Putting everything else aside, just take the Tang Clan's ultimate technique—Dan Shi—it's incredibly insidious.

It kills at close range; there is no warning, and once hit, death is certain.

Combined with the Tang Clan's signature Illusionary Body Barrier, most people with weak perception might not even know how they died.

On the other hand, the Dan Shi would die if it got close, while his own Golden Escape Flowing Light could appear anywhere he wanted.

If these two were combined... wow, the image would be too beautiful!
However, this thought only existed in Zhao Zhen's mind for a moment before he rejected it immediately.

The reason is simple: although the cultivation method of Tangmen Dan Shi is on the stone tablet in the forbidden area of ​​Tangmen, anyone who sees it can cultivate it.

However, without the Tang Clan's unique medicines and methods, rashly cultivating the Pill Devouring Technique would almost certainly result in certain death!
Moreover, even if one passes these basic hurdles, not everyone can take the final step of seeing through life and death.

Even among the most elite disciples of the Tang Clan, the success rate of cultivating the Pill Devouring technique is less than 10%. Now that Zhao Zhen possesses the Pill Technique and the Golden Escape Flowing Light for protection, he only needs to cultivate his life force step by step. Sooner or later, he will be able to achieve the instant kill effect of the Pill Devouring technique with just a normal attack. Why should he take such a great risk to cultivate the Pill Devouring technique?
Just as Zhao Zhen was pondering, Yang Lie and his group, who had been waiting outside the door, walked up to Zhao Zhen with smiles.

"Brother Zhao, come this way, I'll take you to the accommodation I've arranged for you."

"Thank you."

Zhao Zhen nodded and followed Yang Lie's steps, while also turning his head to look at Xu Xin behind him.

"Brother Yang, do you know the purpose of my trip?"

"do not know."

Yang Lie shook his head, then asked, "The Tang Clan only needs a target; as for anything else, we won't ask any further questions."

"Really? But I have a feeling that your junior brother Xu Xin seems quite interested in me~"

Yang Lie was slightly taken aback, and a helpless smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Perhaps, after all, among us, Xu Xin is the most shrewd."

Especially after hearing about your past deeds, Brother Zhao, it's quite normal for him to be interested in you.

"how about you?"

Zhao Zhen spoke with a half-smile.

"I?"

"Hmm, I heard that you, Brother Yang, gave up being a perfectly good rich young master and chose to come up the mountain to become a killer who lives on the edge of a knife. Why?"

"Maybe I just don't want my life to be too mundane?"
A life where you can see your future every time you open your eyes would be far too boring. Compared to that, I much prefer a life where you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

Zhao Zhen glanced silently at Yang Lie beside her.

This guy, if you call him Versailles, then everything he says really comes from the bottom of his heart.

But if you say he's not Versailles, he's said so much yet not a single word he uttered was coherent.

What does it mean to say that a life where you can see your future every time you open your eyes is too boring?

Oh, so you're saying my life, where I wake up every day filled with assassinations and escapes, is actually quite interesting? You really don't know how lucky you are!
"Is that so? Then isn't the current state of the world actually more in line with your vision, Brother Yang?"

"Maybe."

Yang Lie smiled slightly and didn't argue with Zhao Zhen any further.

Realizing this, Zhao Zhen also remained silent.

Without a doubt, from the perspective of a Tang Clan member, Yang Lie can be described as absolutely perfect.

Whether it's controlling his emotions or concealing his inner thoughts, Yang Lie is virtually flawless in these two most important qualities of an assassin!

Talking to this kind of person may seem pleasant on the surface, but you won't get anything real from them at all.

He only showed the way others wanted him to show.

Don't be fooled by his friendly banter now. No matter how deep the friendship, if the Tang Clan gives the order, Yang Lie can kill me without hesitation.

Considering all the above points, Zhao Zhen immediately lost any desire to have a deeper relationship with Yang Lie.

Compared to a human, this guy is more like an excellent killing machine.

Cooperation is fine, but it's best to abandon the idea of ​​making friends as soon as possible.

However, he was about to entrust his life and fortune to the Tang Clan. If he didn't understand the Tang Clan thoroughly, what if these guys were willing to risk their lives to achieve their goal?
"Oh right, isn't there still this little troublemaker..."
