in the edge

Chapter 154 Extending the Spear
A sharp edge is a killer's ethics, and a weapon is an assassin's persistence.

With the gradual polishing, Du Chengfeng gradually felt the life of this short spear.

As he thought before, this short spear was really used by assassins, but the first person to use this short spear was not the assassin in front of him.

The first owner of the short spear was an old man, ordinary-looking, the kind you can't find in the shameful pile, born to be an assassin-the only problem is that the old man himself has never learned any assassin skills, nor It was because his wife was sick and lacked such a large amount of money that he went to work as a death soldier and did some killings.

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his weapon, so after being prompted by the financial owner, the old man found a blacksmith to make a spear blade that looked like a dagger, and matched it with a pole himself, so he saved up this short spear.

Since he had never learned any assassin skills, it was difficult for the old man to do a stealth assassination. Basically, every time he was assassinated, the old man would be exposed, and then the targets would pull out their swords and laugh at the old man holding the dagger.

An inch is long and an inch is strong, but it's not just talk. Can a sword fight a dagger, can it still lose?
Then they really lost, and the suddenly extended handle sent the blade directly into their chest and abdomen.

Dead people can't speak naturally, so no one knows that the old man's dagger can become longer, but as the old man does things more and more, people will also know that there is a killer who is best at this kind of short-term victory over long unique skill.

It was at this time that the old man's financial backer sent someone over to deliver a message to the old man.

"When you become famous, you will be easily recognized by others when you do things in the future. Otherwise, you can step down and recruit more people so that young people can also experience it."

From then on, under the guidance of the never-showed financial backer, the old man retired honorably. From a dead soldier who did dirty work for others, he directly became a middleman leading a group of killers.

And his retractable short spear was also passed by him to one of his most promising young killers.

Different from the old man who was born as a dead warrior, when this young killer made his debut, times had changed. The wealthy men hiding in the dark would no longer find dead warriors to work for them one-on-one, but would go to some killer organizations. Placing an order - after all, a person who maintains death needs some charisma, but hiring a killer only requires money.

In Du Chengfeng's view, this can also be regarded as some kind of industrial sinking.

As a person who has experienced this, the old man once advised this young killer that sometimes he should know how to stop it and not go too far - but the young killer is at the frivolous age. It is when he wants to be in the limelight. It is too late to become famous, so where can he go? Will pay attention to the old man's warning.

Especially after having the sharp weapon of the retractable spear, the young killer is determined to make a name for himself and make a name for himself by relying on his assassination skills.

And this young killer did exactly that.

Relying on this elusive short spear, the young killer accurately hunts every target. Even if he is occasionally discovered, as long as he pulls out the pole, he will not suffer any loss from the weapon - but with the old man's only The difference is that this young killer has no intention of hiding the short spear.

In other words, he had already planned to use his unique assassination method to make a name for himself.

"It's like Fatty Yang killing a pig with a machete."

Du Chengfeng understands this idea very well. The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Even if you have a skill, it is useless if others can't see it - so it is necessary to start the gimmick first. As for whether this gimmick can be real it works……

Du Chengfeng could only say that when Fatty Yang killed pigs to eat meat at home, he always bled them carefully and did not trim the flowers.

But it's obvious that the young killer's gimmick is really useful. Even if many targets know that he has a retractable spear, they don't know how to target it when they actually fight - after all, in addition to extending, this thing can also shrink.Under the use of the young killer, this short spear is like a flexible snake, killing people as easily as picking out objects from a bag.

Relying on this short spear and the matching skills that the young killer figured out, the young killer quickly became famous, but just when he wanted to go back to the old man who passed the short spear to him, he wanted to show off. When he went to see his own achievements, he found that the old man had moved away at some point, and he didn't even leave him a letter.

So the young killer simply continued to kill.

Just being famous is definitely not enough. He has to continue to climb higher and higher. He also wants a mansion, a BMW, and a group of wives and concubines. He wants too many things, so how can he be here? Stop?
So, as a matter of course, he killed more.

The evil spirit tortured the young killer's spirit, and the young killer who was greedy for too much failed to strengthen his will. So, in a failed assassination, the young killer naturally turned into a monster, that spider-like one. The monster spit out poisonous snakes and caused a lot of chaos in Jiankang City.

It’s not that no one has thought about subduing this monster, but unlike other monsters that only know how to kill, the monster transformed by this young killer knows how to hide himself. Although he has lost his mind, the skills of an assassin are still reflected in him. It became more harmonious, and even the predators who were good at catching thieves were unable to find any trace of this monster.However, someone still found this monster in the underground tunnels extending in all directions in Jiankang City.

It was the old man who gave him the short spear in the past.

Only this time, the old man came over with a long spear.

The monster transformed by the young killer vaguely recalled some memories about the old man. Since the two parties were somewhat destined, of course it wanted to show the old man the skills he had developed over the years - so, twelve spiders stretched out instantly. The legs pierced out an airtight net and went straight to the old man.

It was impossible to withstand such an overwhelming attack with just a spear. As for counterattack...how could that spear penetrate?
But in the monster's eyes, the spear really penetrated.

The moment the old man stabbed out the gun blade, the spear suddenly became as soft as a rope. The sharp spear head nailed the monster to the ground with just a few turns.

"You should be content to die under this national treasure."

Saying this, the old man sighed and picked up the short spear from the monster.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng, who was watching, realized that this telescopic spear was a poor imitation of the soft spear. The wealthy man who had hidden his secrets had originally intended to investigate when he prompted the old man. And after the old man passed the inspection, he was qualified to use this soft rattan gun.

It's just a qualification. This gun doesn't belong to the old man. Just like this time, after using it, it still has to be handed back.

After handing over the soft cane gun, the old man returned to his life with the telescopic spear. During the day, he was like an old man who could be seen everywhere on the roadside, amiable, but at night, he would change again. Return to that cold killer middleman and continue to manage this life-killing business for a well-hidden financial backer.

And recently, the old man received a job here, saying that he was looking for someone to assassinate a master from Yizhou in the north. That man had even killed the false emperor Jia Wen before.

The old man doesn't care who the target is or what he has done.As a person who was born as a dead soldier, he only knows that doing things is doing things.

But before the well-trained killer was sent out, the old man thought about it and sent out the re-polished telescopic spear.

"It must be successful."

The old man ordered this.

The killer who was sent out was indeed well-trained, at least in Du Chengfeng's opinion. He went all the way to Haizhou until he found the inn where he and the old eunuch stayed, and even stayed with them. next door, neither of them could notice anything.

And after nightfall, the killer took the poisoned short spear and walked all the way into the room.

There was no movement during the whole process. The killer was like a non-existent ghost. Even the smell had been covered up. No one could find his traces - but for the sake of safety, the killer would still send a short message in advance. The spear is deployed to increase the attack distance.

This is a foolproof blow that cannot miss under any circumstances.

But at this critical moment, Du Chengfeng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

So, everything is over.
