How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 136: Borrow a Knife to Kill Someone, the Way of the Wise (First Request for Monthly Ticket for New Book)

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Borrow a Knife to Kill Someone, the Way of the Wise (First Request for Monthly Ticket for New Book)

In Blue Demon’s deep blue eyes, it seemed as if a flower silently bloomed, rippling with a strange circle of ripples: "You don’t need to bear my favor; you only need to remember the kindness one person has shown you."

"Okay! I’ll remember your kindness towards me." Lin Xiaosu nodded directly.

Blue Demon’s captivating eyes stared at him: "Remember my kindness towards you? Is that your understanding?"

"Yes!"

"No, that’s not the understanding that a super detective should have!" Blue Demon said, "You are deliberately misinterpreting my words, aren’t you trying to cover up the confrontation we had at Jiangcheng Tea House?"

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze drifted slightly...

He actually knew the real meaning behind Blue Demon’s words about "one person’s kindness towards her."

He knew that the person was not Blue Demon.

It was Chang Ye.

At Jiangcheng Tea House, Blue Demon disguised herself as Ding Ruoshui, while he disguised himself as Blood Trace afterwards. They had a confrontation using Disguise Technique, and he extracted information from her. He knew Blue Demon had taken an assignment from Chang Ye, to look after him.

This care might be the reason she rescued him from danger tonight.

He did not need to thank Blue Demon, he just needed to remember Chang Ye’s kindness towards him...

He understood all these, but frankly, he didn’t want to reveal the fact that they had competed using Disguise Technique.

Mainly for her sake.

She had just mentioned something to Du Tiange: Combat is not Blue Demon’s forte.

That was true. So, what was her forte?

Transformation Skill!

Transformation Skill was the foundation of this Heavenly King’s reputation and renown.

And in this field of Transformation Skill, Lin Xiaosu and her were equally matched.

Lin Xiaosu did not mention it, as a basic courtesy.

Yet, she herself had to point it out...

Blue Demon lightly bit her lip: "In my best field, Transformation Skill, I did not gain the upper hand over you. It’s indeed a bit embarrassing, but if I were to ignore the truth for the sake of face, would I not lose face? No, that’s not just losing face, but also dignity and personal integrity!"

"Qianlong King’s dignity is admirable!" Lin Xiaosu said, "In fact, last time at the tea house, it wasn’t really a confrontation, only that each of us surprised the other unexpectedly."

"I like to hear that!" Blue Demon smiled lightly: "What about today’s incident? Was it also unexpected for you?"

"Of course!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Du Tiange... who exactly is he?"

"Du Tiange, a man of Nine Headed Snake... Now it should be beyond doubt!"

"A man of Nine Headed Snake!" Lin Xiaosu’s eyes became calm: "His position isn’t low, is it?"

"No one knows his exact position, but he is a standard Awakener, second only to the Eight Heavenly Kings of Nine Headed Snake! He should be considered the first person below the Heavenly Kings! His status is obviously not low!" Blue Demon said, "It’s precisely because I knew he was going to strike at you that I rushed here overnight."

"How did you know he was going to strike at me?"

Blue Demon said, "Because he serves King Sai Tuo of Wa State, and King Sai Tuo has a Qianlong insider. The insider reported back that last night Du Tiange went to Kun Sha’s territory in Shan State and negotiated a deal, arranging for Kun Sha to send a Genetic Master to lure you out of the country for him to deliver a lethal blow."

Lin Xiaosu said, "Lure me out of the country? Why didn’t he enter the country instead?"

Exiting or entering the country usually involves crossing national borders, which even for someone ordinary would be extremely difficult, but for a master like Du Tiange, what border could stop him?

Is there a need to lure him out of the country?

He could kill him anytime by crossing the border.

Blue Demon laughed: "It seems you owe someone a favor."

"Who?"

"Jing Lei!"

Jing Lei?

Qianlong’s top war god Jing Lei!

The name that frightens almost everyone at its mention.

Lin Xiaosu was also startled: "Why do I need to owe him a favor? What does this have to do with him?"

Blue Demon said, "Five years ago, Jing Lei issued a ban to Du Tiange, prohibiting him from stepping into Daxia ever. Since then, Du Tiange has never stepped into Daxia. If it weren’t for this ban, during the time you entered Taichong, that would have been enough time for Du Tiange to kill you ten times over!"

Lin Xiaosu stared blankly at the sky.

Blue Demon watched his expression and laughed: "No matter how perilous the journey, you’ve safely arrived ashore in the end, let’s go back."

"Go back?" Lin Xiaosu said: "Just let Du Tiange off?"

"If he doesn’t let go, what can be done? He has ascended to the heavens!"

Lin Xiaosu said, "Even if he ascends to the heavens, there will eventually be a time to fall. King Lantian, how about we take action?"

Blue Demon’s heart raced: "Cross the border to kill him?"

"A person who has been confirmed as part of the Nine-Headed Snake, second only to the Heavenly Kings in skills, and lying beside our Daxia’s couch, shouldn’t he be killed?"

"He should be killed!" Blue Demon said, "But you need to understand, tonight was actually the only opportunity to kill him. Such a good chance can’t be missed, just you and I together definitely can’t kill him!"

"Not necessarily!"

"Not necessarily? Well, tell me where it’s not necessarily so..."

At least for Blue Demon, her heart is clear as a mirror; she knows her judgment is one hundred percent accurate.

Why does she say that tonight is the only opportunity to kill Du Tiange?

Because the advantage is hers.

This is in the wilderness, where Du Tiange’s power in Qingmian Country hasn’t caught up, and it’s basically a brawl based on true strength between her and Du Tiange, where they could claim the whole package of timing, location, and manpower.

Under such circumstances, she still couldn’t kill Du Tiange.

The main reasons are twofold, the first being that his combat power is beyond imagination, barely a notch below her own as a legitimate Heavenly King; she can defeat him, but she can’t kill him.

The second? He carries a lot of high-tech gear.

His gloves are high-tech items that greatly weaken her unique superpower, "electricity."

He also possesses high-tech gear, the "Wings" that allow him to soar into the sky at any time, and when he can’t win, he flies away, leaving everyone gaping.

How can you expect to kill someone in their stronghold who is such a skilled fighter, heavily equipped with high-tech, and extremely cautious, when you can’t even kill him in the wilderness?

If you dare to enter their stronghold, they will have all the advantages of timing, location, and manpower.

By then, surrounded by masters from all sides, it’s truly unpredictable who is the hunter and who is the hunted.

Lin Xiaosu said, "When masters compete, a blood battle in the wilderness is indeed a last resort. The best strategy is to attack their plans. With the right tactics, everything is possible!"

"Tactics? You plan to use tactics?" Blue Demon frowned.

"Yes, if power isn’t enough, supplement it with tactics."

Blue Demon’s gaze slowly shifted towards him, "I feel like the first person to fall into this trap you’re planning... is me."

"How could that be? How could you think that?"

Blue Demon said, "I kind of suspect you want me to make a deadly effort and take a risk, all because Du Tiange is hell-bent on taking your head. As long as he’s alive, you can’t be at ease."

"King Lantian, you shouldn’t say that!" Lin Xiaosu stiffened his face, "You seem to be projecting your suspicions onto others..."

"Then lay out your real reasons, embarrass me."

Lin Xiaosu slowly stretched out a finger, "You want a reason, I’ll give you three... Reason one, Du Tiange is the right hand of the Nine-Headed Snake King, and based on my understanding of the Nine Headed Snake, they honor the powerful. If one day the Nine-Headed Snake King is killed, he is very likely to take over as Heavenly King. Maybe Du Tiange alone isn’t worth the risk, but to hunt a Quasi Heavenly King, the risk is justified."

Blue Demon was moved.

Hunt a Quasi Heavenly King?

Remember how much Jing Lei had to sacrifice to hunt the Baigu King of the Nine Headed Snake?

For such organizations as the Nine Headed Snake, the cost of hunting their king, even if it’s life-threatening, is worth it.

Just one shift in thinking, and Blue Demon felt the need to take the risk.

Because, as Lin Xiaosu said, if Du Tiange did not die, he truly might become the next Heavenly King.

"Reason two, Du Tiange is a person from Daxia and knows Daxia’s situation best. As we all know, the most dangerous enemy is the traitor. Once he ascends to a high position within the Nine Headed Snake, he will surely devise strategies specifically against Daxia and will definitely cause the greatest damage to Daxia."

Blue Demon’s heart raced.

Lin Xiaosu stretched out a third finger, "Reason three, taking the risk might succeed!"

Blue Demon’s eyes shone, "Why do you think there’s a chance of success?"

"Because of this person!" Lin Xiaosu pointed at a corpse on the ground.

Blue Demon’s gaze landed on the person, headless, then shifted and found it, a woman’s head rolling in the bushes.

"This person... has something mysterious?" Blue Demon didn’t understand.

Lin Xiaosu said, "This person should be one of Kun Sha’s subordinates, moreover a capable lieutenant, tasked with luring me out of the country. Her mission was actually completed... she shouldn’t have died!"

"Shouldn’t have died? What do you mean?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "The moment I killed her, Du Tiange had already arrived! And he was there for a while. If he had intervened, this person wouldn’t have died, but he just didn’t act and watched as I chopped off this person’s head. Think about it, why would that be?"

Blue Demon’s eyes, like candle flames in the dark night, slowly brightened, "This person is a subordinate of Kun Sha, while Du Tiange served Sai Tuo. Kun Sha and Sai Tuo belong to two different states and are always covertly contending, so Du Tiange was happy to see Kun Sha’s top fighter die."

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "So your initial mention of leveraging power was directionally wrong. The power I wanted to leverage was not yours, but Kun Sha’s!"

"Using Kun Sha’s power to stir up the storm between two states..." Blue Demon said, "The plan is good, but you need to know, this is walking a tightrope."

"Entering the tiger’s den to stir up the storm is inherently walking a tightrope. Ordinary people walking this tightrope might face the possibility of getting attacked by both sides, but we are different!" Lin Xiaosu said, "King Lantian, are you willing to play something worthwhile in that domain where we once tested each other?"

In Blue Demon’s eyes, layers of strange flowers blossomed.

Those eyes are truly magical.

"One objection!" Blue Demon said.

"What?"

Blue Demon said, "Change the title, don’t call me King Lantian."

"What should I call you then? Senior Sister? Demon Sister?"

Blue Demon made a sour face, "Demon Sister, don’t you even inquire about my age? You have the nerve to call me that?"

"So... since we occasionally tread the same path in this domain, calling you Senior Sister is fitting, I’ll call you Senior Sister."

"Why do I always feel... that even calling you Senior Sister is a trap?" Blue Demon gently tapped her head, "Forget it, even if it’s a trap, it probably isn’t too deep. Go ahead, I agree!"
