Chapter 169: The Art of Changing Bones and Muscles

“Master Qian” cut off his own heart meridian, which was beyond everyone’s expectation.

As for his last words, they also caused a lot of people to be shocked.

No one could have imagined that a killer who made a living by taking other people’s lives.

His last words were actually a warning and advice to his opponent Lu Qing.

Even Lu Qing’s eyes had some fluctuations. He looked at the killer’s corpse silently, wondering what he was thinking.

As the breath of “Master Qian” faded, his face and figure began to change gradually.

The originally short and fat body slowly deformed and stretched, grew taller, and became much thinner.

His face also turned into a very ordinary middle-aged man’s face.

Such a weird change suddenly made the guests a little creepy.

“The art of changing tendons and bones, a secret technique required of the Seven Killings Tower’s top assassins, completely transforms a person’s appearance and body shape, altering their identities. It’s truly bizarre.

It’s thanks to this technique that the Seven Killings Tower has such a high assassination success rate, making it a feared assassination sect.

It’s also thanks to this technique that the Seven Killings Tower has survived to this day, thwarting several top sects who have attempted to annihilate them, ultimately failing.”

The young man in plain clothes sighed.

The guests’ hair stood on end.

This art of changing tendons and bones was truly bizarre and unpredictable.

Changing one’s appearance to assassinate someone completely—who could possibly be on guard?

After all, who in this world doesn’t have a few close friends?

Wei Xinghe was horrified.

“Sir Zhirui, this man is dead. What about An’er’s future safety…”

The Seven Killings Tower was so terrifying. Now that they were targeting him, could Zi’an still survive?

“Master Wei, rest assured. The rules of the Seven Killings Tower state that any assassin who accepts an assassination mission must be paid. If the assassination is successful, 70% of the reward goes to the assassin.

If the assassination fails or dies, the reward belongs to the Seven Killings Tower. The reward will only be returned if the assassin admits failure and compensates the sect.

Therefore, if the client wishes to assassinate Young Master Wei again, he must offer a new reward.

But this time, even assassins above the Twelve Gangs have failed.

If he continues, the reward will likely be more than doubled.

I don’t think he’ll be willing to pay such a high price,”

the young man in plain clothes reassured them.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood the Seven Killings Tower’s overbearing nature.

The young man’s meaning was clear: if the Seven Killings Tower issued a bounty and someone accepted the mission,

the reward would be paid, regardless of success or failure, unless the assassin admitted defeat and offered compensation.

Of course, the Seven Killings Tower must have some backing for such behavior.

Perhaps it was because, as Lord Zhirui had previously stated, the Seven Killings Tower’s assassination success rate was extremely high, which gave them the confidence to establish such a rule.

Even Wei Xinghe felt a little relieved upon hearing this.

To tempt an assassin more powerful than the Twelve Celestial Beings, the bounty for such a mission must be substantial.

The person behind this was clearly targeting him.

If they could persuade someone of that stature to take action, they would probably offer a direct bounty for his assassination,

without resorting to the indirect approach of assassinating Zi’an to provoke him.

“By comparison, I’m actually more worried about Young Master Lu,”

the young man in plain clothes continued.

Everyone was stunned, and couldn’t help but look at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing also looked over.

“According to the assassin’s dying words, he called himself ‘Tian Gu’. If I’m not mistaken, he must be the ninth-ranked of the Twelve Heavenly Constellations of the Seven Killings Tower.

While the Seven Killings Tower boasts countless assassins, the positions of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Constellations are fixed.

This ‘Tian Gu’ was defeated by you and committed suicide, leaving the ninth position of the Twelve Constellations vacant.

The positions of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Constellations hold special significance within the Seven Killings Tower. Now that one has been vacated, it will surely attract the attention of other assassins. Anyone

who wishes to claim the position of Heavenly Constellation must prove themselves.

The quickest way to prove themselves is, of course, to assassinate you, the martial arts master who defeated ‘Tian Gu’.

So, if my guess is correct, I’m afraid many Seven Killings Tower assassins will be eager to meet you.

They might even issue an internal arrest warrant to kill you.

The assassination techniques of the Seven Killings Tower are strange and difficult to master, so be careful,”

the young man in plain clothes said solemnly.

“If that’s the case, isn’t Xiaoyan in danger?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’s expression grew solemn.

If the Seven Killings Tower truly intended to assassinate him, it would indeed be troublesome.

He wasn’t afraid, but he feared they would resort to unscrupulous means and harm Xiaoyan.

“Don’t worry about that. The Seven Killings Tower has its own pride. According to its rules, to prove your worthiness to compete for the position of Heavenly Gang, you must defeat me fair and square through assassination.

If someone uses threats from others to force your submission, not only will the Seven Killings Tower disown such a feat, they will even punish you.

The position of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang holds special significance within the Seven Killings Tower; how could they allow someone to occupy it so frivolously?”

the young man in plain clothes explained.

“I see. That’s all right, then. Let them come. I want to see what’s so strange about this Seven Killings Tower.”

Hearing that no one else would be affected, Lu Qing felt relieved.

As for the Seven Killings Tower’s assassination attempt…

that Yi Jin Bone Transformation technique, capable of transforming one’s appearance, is truly miraculous.

But before him, possessing the power of the divine soul and possessing supernatural abilities, even the most miraculous transformations and mystical techniques would be invisible and useless.

Unless it was a Xiantian-level assassin, he wouldn’t have to be overly fearful.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing couldn’t help but ask, “Sir Zhirui, are there any Xiantian-level assassins within the Seven Killings Tower?”

“Yes!” the young man in plain clothes replied confidently.

“But don’t worry, even the Seven Killings Tower must abide by the Holy Mountain’s prohibitions. Warriors above the Xiantian realm may not attack humans below the Xiantian realm without provocation.

If they dare to openly violate this prohibition, even the Seven Killings Tower will be unable to withstand the pressure from the Holy Mountain and the four secret sites.”

“That’s great! I’ve also been wanting to see the Seven Killings Tower’s other secret techniques. This is a good opportunity.”

Lu Qing finally felt relieved.

Seeing Lu Qing remain so calm and composed in the face of a potentially terrifying assassination, the guests were filled with admiration.

They recalled the words “Tian Gu” had spoken before his death.

Although they didn’t know what the so-called “Ten Thousand Years of Change” actually meant.

But as for the idea of the Son of Fortune, they did believe it somewhat.

If even someone as stunning as Lu Qing couldn’t become the Son of Fortune,

then they really couldn’t imagine what a monster the true Son of Fortune would be.
