Chapter 70: [Lifespan Loss, Killer Mission] (Second update, please follow)

Lu Chengtong stopped listening to his muttering, picked up the small peach wood bow beside him, and shot an arrow at the straw man.

This arrow shot out, instantly draining a part of his lifespan, probably about two months' worth.

In fact, in the previous few days, every time he knelt and bowed, it would drain one month of his lifespan; seven days was a full seven months.

Dealing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this price was already very large in his view.

The first arrow shot out and hit the straw man's left eye.

At the same time, Sun Zuo, far away on Danquan Peak, suddenly went blind in his left eye.

Huang Jue, sitting beside him, was startled by this sudden change; he seemed to have sensed something, hurriedly called his master and several fellow disciples to watch Sun Zuo's changes.

Everyone was discussing, and then they saw Sun Zuo go blind in his right eye as well.

Lu Chengtong shot the second arrow.

With a flash of inspiration, Lu Chengtong knew that the third arrow was the time to take Sun Zuo's life.

Sure enough, the third arrow hit Sun Zuo's heart, and immediately, his soul flew away and scattered.

At the same time, on Danquan Peak, a large hole suddenly appeared in the heart of Sun Zuo's body, and then his life force dissipated, completely cutting off his life.

Everyone present, seeing such a bizarre scene, was shocked and unable to calm their mood.

On the other side, Lu Chengtong felt his own consumption and showed a thoughtful look.

Nail-Head Seven Arrows means one can shoot at most seven arrows.

Shooting seven arrows will definitely take the other party's life, but the premise is that one can shoot seven arrows.

Every time an arrow is shot, the person casting the curse must pay a certain price, which is consuming a certain amount of lifespan.

Looking at the current realm, using Golden Core cultivation to eliminate a Foundation Establishment cultivator, only three arrows are needed to take the other party's life.

The price of three arrows is six months of lifespan, plus the seven months of kneeling and bowing, which is a full thirteen months, more than a year of lifespan.

One year of lifespan is very precious; killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator is too wasteful.

But if it is killing across realms, consuming some lifespan is also acceptable.

During the casting process, he would use the 【Circular Light Manifestation】 supernatural ability every day to watch Sun Zuo's situation in real-time and learned the drawbacks of this supernatural ability.

First, the casting time is long, and the casting will be detected by the other party; currently, Sun Zuo detected it on the fifth day.

He could see himself, probably because he saw it with the one soul and two spirits that were drawn over, so he specifically wore a mask and clothes that covered him later.

Secondly, the person being cast upon can also detect his own position.

If the target's strength is powerful, it is very likely to pinpoint him accurately.

This is a problem; in the future, when casting this spell again, one can "flow" to worship, worship once, and change a place. At least before the other party dies, one cannot return to the lair.

It is best to be far away, so that even if the other party knows the location, it will be too late to rush over; in three or five days, they will be cold.

Solving these problems, this supernatural ability is simply perfect.

At least for now, Lu Chengtong himself has no way to resist this supernatural ability.

Therefore, this supernatural ability must never be passed on to others.

Lu Chengtong likes this supernatural ability very much.

There is no need to fight the other party head-on; one only needs to know who the person to be killed is, and combined with the 【Circular Light Manifestation】 supernatural ability, one can cast it.

Killing a person in seven days, and being able to kill across realms, is truly incomparably sharp!

The only pity is that this supernatural ability focuses on making the target's soul fly away and scatter; he cannot let the other party eat the Supernatural Ability Seed in advance and then curse the target to obtain the Supernatural Ability Fruit.

Huh? Perhaps it is not impossible to operate.

It's just that I don't know if the supernatural ability is interrupted halfway and the casting fails, will I suffer too serious a backlash.

Obtaining a powerful supernatural ability, Lu Chengtong's mood is very good; it is rare for him to go out and give some guidance on the cultivation of his descendants.

Over these years, the Cheng, Lu, and Guan branches have all developed very steadily; because he conducts thought supervision, he directly eliminated the problems of internal strife or external infiltration that might occur, so the family's development momentum is very strong.

Up to now, Lu Chengtong has no regrets; even if he were to die now and pass the position to the next family head, he would not be very resistant.

Once upon a time, he was just a supervisor in a remote place of the Ziyao Immortal Sect, and his only ideal was to succeed in Foundation Establishment and become a Foundation Establishment True Person.

Now he has successfully formed the Golden Core at such a young age, avenged the family's great hatred, has so many descendants, and the family is flourishing; what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

But to say there is no regret at all, that is not true.

He has always held a trace of guilt towards Hou Zhao.

Hou Zhao's feelings for his sister Lu Chengqin were sincere, and the two were in love and had become partners, but it was not announced at the time.

In order to kill Sun Xiao, he strengthened Hou Zhao's hatred, letting him cultivate desperately, to the point that he later went astray, joined the Piaoxue Tower, ate that Blood Origin Pill, and achieved the Golden Core Realm, but also drained his body's potential.

Now he is even half-controlled by the Piaoxue Tower, becoming a Gold-ranked Killer of the Piaoxue Tower.

An existence like a puppet.

During this time, it is not that Lu Chengtong has not thought about resolving him out.

But according to his understanding, this Piaoxue Tower is not as simple as he first understood.

It is rumored that the Piaoxue Tower was jointly established by several Golden Core cultivators, but according to Lu Chengtong's analysis, it has at least Nascent Soul Realm cultivators sitting in town, and its sphere of influence covers the entire Beihuang Region.

The number of Gold-ranked Killers in the Golden Core Realm is no less than twenty.

This number is more than the elders of some sects.

Its organization is strict, good at using arrays, and teleportation arrays combined with identifiable arrays, leading to their coming and going without a trace.

Although Lu Chengtong has a supernatural ability like 【Circular Light Manifestation】, alas, once he switches to an unknown space, he cannot continue to track, so he still relies on the killer identity of 【Insect Master】 to get news.

Although he has not put much energy into this aspect, relying on the "Ice-Fire Demon Insects" and an excellent hand of Gu techniques, the name Insect Master is also famous at the Silver Medal Assassin level.

Just right, in the next few decades, the Lu family's development will not have much change; he decided to shift his energy and strive to explore this organization more deeply and find a way to let Hou Zhao escape the abyss.

——

In an unknown hotel, Lu Chengtong's clone changed into the killer 【Insect Master】 and arrived in a room, put Spirit Stones into a fixed range on the ground, and activated the teleportation array.

The next moment, he entered a dark stone room.

This is inside a mountain, with no exit all around, and the only entrance and exit is the two-way teleportation array under his feet.

In the stone room, there is a stone table, and on the stone table, there is a one-way teleportation array.

It seems that Lu Chengtong's arrival triggered some kind of array, giving a signal to a certain place, and then an iron box appeared on the stone table.

The box opened, and inside was detailed mission information.

Three days ago, he submitted an application for promotion to Gold-ranked Killer, and the way to become a Gold-ranked Killer is very simple, which is to complete a Golden mission; this level of mission is usually to kill a Golden Core cultivator.

A total of four missions were provided for him to choose from that day; he chose one of them and only obtained relatively detailed mission information today. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
