"It's pretty good Danyao."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Fang Han's eyes, and he poured out a longan-sized, bright-white Danyao and placed it in the palm of his hand.

He did not rush to take it, but gently licked the surface of Danyao with the tip of his tongue to test whether it was poisonous.

The moment the tip of the tongue touched Danyao, an imperceptible numbness suddenly spread.

"Toxic!"

Fang Han's expression suddenly changed, and he threw Danyao without thinking. At the same time, <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture> inside his body was running crazily at an unprecedented speed.

Dark Green and Internal Qi poured into the meridians like a river bursting its banks, and the vitality contained in the vegetation quickly rushed to the source of the numb feeling.

Shenshu Aperture is slightly heated, and Poison Resistance Divine Treasury is excited at the same time.

The two forces of detoxification attack from inside and outside, just like two streams of clear springs washing away the dirt, the toxins that have invaded the body are quickly dissolved and dissolved.

The feeling of numbness came and went even faster, and within a few breaths it completely dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

"What a risk!"

Fang Han opened his eyes, and a thin layer of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead.

He looked at the Danyao that rolled down beside the futon, with a lingering fear still in his eyes.

This poison is extremely powerful. If he did not test it with the tip of his tongue, but swallowed it directly, the consequences would be disastrous.

Even with the dual detoxification effects of <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture> and Shenshu Aperture, such a dose of highly toxic poison would probably cause him some suffering.

"It's true that you can't take things of unknown origin!"

Fang Han couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in his heart. He was right to be cautious before directing Danyao to Recharge whose origins he didn't know.

Without the detoxifying effect of <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture>, and relying only on the detoxifying effect of Shenshu Aperture Divine Treasury, he would have committed suicide by taking poison without knowing it and lost his life in a confused manner.

"System Panel."

Fang Han slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and did not look at the three jade bottles again.

My mind moved slightly, calling out System Panel.

[Host: Fang Han]

[Root Bone Talent Amplification: 512 times (Level Ten Amplification requires 100 million gold)]

[Sword Art Talent Amplification: 256 times (Level Nine Amplification requires 10 million gold)]

[Footwork Talent Amplification: 256 times (Level Nine Amplification requires 10 million gold)]

[Body Tempering Talent Amplification: 256 times (Level Nine Amplification requires 10 million gold)]

[Secret Technique Talent Amplification: 256 times (Level Nine Amplification requires 10 million gold)]

[Possessed Wealth:9 million gold]

"Recharge."

Fang Han Recharge Three jade bottles Recharge, the bottles turned into little shimmers and disappeared.

The numbers on System Panel jump:

[Possessed Wealth:9 million gold→9.01 million gold]

Fang Han's eyes stayed on that line of numbers for a moment, his brows raised slightly.

Only ten thousand gold was added.

With the grade of these three bottles of Danyao, under normal circumstances, it can increase at least tens of thousands of gold.

The reason why it only brought such a meager increase in wealth is obviously because it was poisoned. Danyao was eroded by the poison and its value was greatly reduced.

A few days later.

Dark Abyss headquarters, the secret room dug into the heart of the mountain.

The candlelight swayed, casting several sitting figures on the rough stone wall, twisting and weirding it.

Above, Jia One is sitting on the stone chair.

He was wearing a black robe, with white beard and hair, and a withered face, but his deep-set eyes revealed a coldness that could penetrate the world.

He held a letter in his hand, which was the secret message sent urgently from Qingyang Prefecture a few days ago.

In the secret room, the three core executives Jia Two, Jia Three, and Jia Four were sitting on both sides, their eyes falling on the letter.

"Yi One sent back the message."

When Jia One opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and dry, like two pieces of rough sand rubbing against each other.

"Fang Han's combat power far exceeds that of Break Three Passes. He fought with Fang Han for more than two hundred moves, but was injured and retreated, unable to succeed."

As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the secret room.

"Even Yi One failed?"

Jia Three on the right frowned, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Yi One, the number one existence among the "B" killers.

Break Three Passes has cultivated his skills, understood the meaning of the sword, and successfully assassinated two warriors whose combat power exceeded Break Three Passes.

Even he failed.

"Yi One's judgment is that Fang Han's combat power has directly caught up with the master's, and he possesses the sensory type Tracking Secret Technique. It is extremely difficult to assassinate him through a sneak attack. If he wants to kill him, he can only take action at the A-level."

Jia One continued.

"This Fang Han actually has such strength. It seems that if we want to successfully assassinate Fang Han, we are the only one who can take action."

Jia Two's eyes fell on the letter, and he frowned and said.

The secret room fell into silence again.

"The commission remuneration is not enough."

Jia Three spoke slowly, with no emotion in his eyes.

"The announced commission reward is acceptable for a B-level person, but for me and an A-level person to do it personally, the reward is far from enough."

"Based on the current remuneration, it's really not worth it for me and other masters."

Jia Two nodded.

"I also don't agree with waiting for the Grandmaster to take action."

Jia Four frowned.

"Then cancel the commission."

Jia One made the final decision.

"I failed twice in a row and lost a B-word killer. If I continue, the gains outweigh the losses. According to the rules, the commission fee will be refunded."

Jia Two and Jia Four looked at each other and nodded.

Jia Three was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

Dark Abyss Although assassination is his profession, he is not a reckless man.

Don't do any business that makes you lose money.

East Foothills Prefecture, Thunderlight Pavilion.

In an ancient hall, candlelight flickered.

"Why... you're not dead yet?"

Lei Qianting stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking out the window at the dark night. His deep eyes were as dark as ink.

A lot of time has passed since he issued the assassination commission for Fang Han on Dark Abyss.

But that little beast is still alive and kicking.

Not only that, he also received news a few days ago that Fang Han went to the Yun Clan and Lan Clan to propose marriage and made two marriage arrangements.

"I must ask for an explanation!"

Lei Qianting whispered to himself, his voice hoarse and cold.

He turned around, took out a mask as thin as cicada wings from his arms, and covered his face.

The mask automatically adsorbed as soon as it was put on the skin, completely changing his face into an ordinary middle-aged face.

He put on an ordinary gray cloth robe, and suppressed the majestic aura around him that had been on top for a long time, just like an ordinary traveling warrior.

After doing all this, he left Thunderlight Pavilion quietly without disturbing anyone.

One day later.

East Foothills Prefecture, an inconspicuous small town.

Lei Qianting pushed open the back door of a grocery store and walked into a dark room illuminated by dim candlelight.

In the dark room, a tall and thin man with an ordinary face was sitting behind the table, holding a cup of still warm tea in his hand and looking at the visitor with a dull look.

It was Dark Abyss who was in charge of intelligence at East Foothills Prefecture.

"What do you want to buy?"

The tall and thin man put down the tea cup and looked at Lei Qianting.

Lei Qianting took out a certificate unique to Dark Abyss from his arms and placed it on the table.

The tall and thin man glanced at the token, nodded, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Why did you come here this time?"

"I'm here to ask for an explanation."

Lei Qianting sat down and said straight to the point.

His voice was low, with an irrepressible coldness.

"The commission to assassinate Fang Han has been issued for more than a month. Why is Fang Han still alive?"

"Your Excellency."

The tall and lanky man took the voucher and verified it carefully before speaking after confirming it was correct.

"Since accepting this commission, I, Dark Abyss, have carried out two assassinations on Fang Han."

"Twice?"

Lei Qianting frowned slightly, obviously not believing it. He had never heard of the assassination of Fang Han.

"For the first time, killer Yi Three takes action."

The tall and lanky man said.

"Yi Three has broken through two levels of cultivation, understood Swift Sword Intent, and ranked third among my Dark Abyss "B" killers. However, this assassination failed, and Yi Three died at the hands of Fang Han."

Lei Qianting's eyes, which were covered by masks, flashed a look of uncontrollable surprise.

"The second time, Yi One takes action."

The tall and lanky man continued.

"Yi One, ranked first among the killers with the word "B", Break Three Passes has cultivated and understood Swift Blade Intent. Even if he took action personally, after fighting Fang Han for more than a hundred moves, he retreated injured and failed to succeed."

There was a brief silence in the dark room.

Lei Qianting's fingers tightened slightly under the table, and the joints turned slightly white from the exertion.

How long has it been since Martial Arts Tournament, and Fang Han's strength has actually reached this level?

Thinking that such people were destined to become enemies, an uncontrollable murderous intention arose in his heart.

"Since Yi One has failed, what is Dark Abyss going to do next?"

he asked eagerly.

The tall and thin man was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"If you want to kill Fang Han, you can only dispatch a master-level killer, but if you want to dispatch a killer of this level, the reward will be high."

His eyes fell on Lei Qianting's face.

"The reward you paid is far from enough for me, Dark Abyss, to dispatch a killer of this level. Therefore, Dark Abyss has decided to cancel the assassination commission against Fang Han."

"Cancel?"

Lei Qianting's voice suddenly rose a little higher, and then was suppressed forcefully.

"Yes, I, Dark Abyss, will cancel this assassination commission. According to the rules, the commission fee will be refunded."

The tall and thin man nodded and said.

"No need."

Lei Qianting spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and decisive.

"No need to return, no need to cancel."

The tall and thin man frowned slightly and looked at him.

Lei Qianting took a deep breath, and in those deep eyes, the murderous intent was condensed like substance.

"The reward will be increased from 5 million taels of gold to 30 million taels of gold."

He paused and his voice became colder.

"I want to ask Dark Abyss to dispatch a master-level killer to deal with Fang Han."

The tall and thin man's breathing stagnated slightly, and his eyes stayed on Lei Qianting's face for a moment.

Thirty million taels of gold, this amount is almost equivalent to the total income of a top power over several years.

It's definitely a huge sum of money.

"Are you sure?"

he asked slowly.

"OK."

Lei Qianting's voice was decisive, without any hesitation.

After two consecutive failed assassinations, Fang Han's strength made him even more fearful.

This guy must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise he will become a serious problem for the Thunderlight Pavilion.

No matter how high the price is, it is still worth it.

The tall and thin man was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Okay, I will send this news back to the headquarters immediately."
