Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 102: Demon? Monster? The secret behind the Dragon Qi secret technique!

The target changed from Xu Rong to Jian Shuo, and Ji Qiu's psychological resistance immediately disappeared.

After all, eunuchs like Jian Shuo, who brought disaster to the country and the people, were never within his reach.

Well, although the aristocratic families are not good people either, their comments on the eunuchs are not all slander.

From the perspective of the common people, these two forces are birds of a feather.

The fight between them can be described as dog-eat-dog!
Ji Qiu was an enemy of the aristocratic families and gave gifts to the Ten Attendants to build relationships with them, but this did not mean that he had a favorable impression of the eunuchs' power.

As long as he has the chance, he will not show any mercy to the eunuchs!

Just wanting to capture Jian Shuo is not an easy task either.

Although Jian Shuo was not good at commanding troops, it did not mean that he had no strength.

On the contrary, Liu Hong appointed Jian Shuo, who was not good at using troops, to take charge of the Xiyuan North Army precisely because Jian Shuo was very powerful!
According to the intelligence obtained by Jia Xu, Jian Shuo was at least a senior scholar of the third rank.

Moreover, he is not a high-ranking commander like Bao Xin who is good at commanding the army and the secret arts he has learned are mainly for serving the army.

Jian Shuo was born as a palace secret guard, and he is proficient in the art of assassination!

What he practices is a high-speed and high-burst single-target combat secret technique.

And those who are skilled in assassination must be good at preventing assassination.

Therefore, it is probably not an easy task to capture Jian Shuo without anyone noticing.

But Ji Qiu thought it was worth a try.

Because he has a lot of cards.

Under his command are not only brave generals who are good at single combat such as Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, but also control masters like Ren Hongchang who are proficient in strange secret arts, and powerful military forces to pursue and intercept.

Most importantly, he also has the Space-Time Gate and the Qiankun Bag, which can enable the instant movement of a large force and catch the opponent off guard.

So that’s it, go capture Jian Shuo!

After the goal was determined, Ji Qiu began to formulate a specific action plan.

The first step in making a plan is to determine Jian Shuo's whereabouts.

But there is no need to inquire about this specifically.

Important figures in Luoyang City like Jian Shuo had long been under Jia Xu's surveillance.

Jia Xu knew his whereabouts very well.

So the second step of the plan was when and where to capture Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo was a eunuch, and most eunuchs lived in the imperial palace.

However, high-ranking eunuchs like Jian Shuo not only had houses in the palace, but also mansions outside the palace.

So they did not live in the palace every day, but only stayed overnight in the palace when they were on duty.

Usually she would go out of the palace to rest in her own residence.

Although Jian Shuo's mansion was heavily guarded, it was still no match for the imperial palace.

So Ji Qiu decided to find a late night when Jian Shuo was resting in his mansion outside the palace and raid Jian Shuo's mansion!
The third step of the plan is to determine the list of personnel for action.

The first people identified as participants in the operation were Ren Hongchang and Zhang Ning.

The former is the strongest fighter under Ji Qiu, and is particularly good at control-type secret techniques. He is naturally the first choice for the raid plan.

The latter possesses the innate secret skill of stealth, which can reduce the presence of himself and those around him, and is also an indispensable element in a raid.

Next are the three generals Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

They are all generals who are good at single combat and have the courage to fight against thousands of men. They are very suitable for use in this kind of action.

The third is Gao Shun and the Royal Guard Battalion.

Gao Shun's innate secret technique, the Formation Trap, can double the troops' attack, defense, and coordination attributes.

It is very suitable for commanding troops and besieging masters.

The Royal Guard Battalion is the most powerful force under Ji Qiu's command, and all its members are top-level ninth-grade soldiers!

With Gao Shun in command of the Royal Guard Battalion, it will surely unleash terrifying combat power!
The plan is set, and the next step is execution.

Ji Qiu gathered the people and got ready to go!
……

The night dew condensed into frost, and the west wind blew dead leaves across Zhuque Street, tearing the sound of the night watchman's drum into pieces.

Three figures in black appeared above Jian Shuo's mansion, overlooking it.

But he saw a gilded bronze beast holding a ring on the vermilion lacquered gate of Jian Shuo's mansion. The swaying sheep-horn lamps under the corridor were reflected in the beast's pupils, like countless scarlet eyes.

After crossing the three-meter-high threshold, the white marble lampposts on both sides of the corridor light up one after another, and the candlelight penetrates the crystal lampshades, casting a flowing halo on the blue bricks.

In the distance, flying eaves and pointed corners pierce the night sky, the outline of the Chiwen swallowing the moon overlaps with the Big Dipper, and the tinkling of wind chimes on the eaves, mixed with the sound of flowing water in the distant Taiye Lake, sounds like the collision of metal.

Walking around the screen wall engraved with Taotie patterns, the courtyard in front of you looks like an upside-down galaxy.

The ground is paved with cobblestones with coiled dragon patterns, which glow a warm jade color under the moonlight. The fish swimming in the pond are not ordinary koi, but snow-white Persian cat fish. Their scales reflect the candlelight under the corridor, just like thousands of broken diamonds floating in the water.

Silky gauze curtains hang between the carved beams and painted buildings. When the night wind blows, the luminous colored glaze inlaid on the inner walls can be vaguely seen, making the entire building look like a dragon palace.

In front of the main hall door, two armored soldiers holding halberds looked like stone statues, and the rubies inlaid on their black iron armor glowed blood-red in the dark.

What was burning in the bronze crane lamp was not ordinary lamp oil, but spermaceti imported from the Western Regions. The flame was as blue as a will-o'-the-wisp, and it smoked the gilded plaque on the door that read "Shangjun Xiaowei Mansion" slightly black.

The copper wind chimes hanging on the eaves suddenly rang together. The sound was clear and had the unique coldness of metal. In a trance, it was as if thousands of troops were lurking in the dark.

"Is this Jian Shuo's military commander's residence? It's so luxurious!" Zhang Ning said in shock.

As the daughter of Zhang Jue, she cannot be said to be without knowledge, but she does not have much knowledge either.

After all, Zhang Jue was a rebel. After launching the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was impossible for him to have any dealings with the luxuriously-lived aristocratic families as before.

So Zhang Ning had not seen many truly luxurious mansions.

Therefore, he was directly shocked by Jian Shuo's military commander's mansion.

Compared with Zhang Ning, Ren Hongchang's reaction was much better.

After all, she had lived in Luoyang City for a long time and knew how extravagant the lives of those powerful people were.

But even she couldn't hide the shock in her eyes.

Because Jian Shuo's Shangjun Xiaowei Mansion can be ranked among the top even among the generally luxurious mansions of the powerful and wealthy in Luoyang City.

This is the most powerful among the powerful, the top powerful!
Among the three, Ji Qiu was the only one who had no reaction to this.

After all, no matter how luxurious this military captain's residence is, can it compare to the luxury of the residences of modern top dignitaries and wealthy people?
Now in modern times, he is the actual controller of Annan. The standard of his residence has even exceeded that of the top wealthy and powerful people in Annan, and he has begun to look forward to the standards of the world's top wealthy and powerful people.

After all, although Annan is not a big or powerful country, using the power of a country to support one person can still push this person to the top!
So at this moment, Ji Qiu just snorted coldly and said lightly: "Every blade of grass and every tree is the blood and sweat of the people. Just relying on this mansion, this Jian Shuo has already met his end!"

Then he waved his arm, and the three figures disappeared in mid-air.

The next moment, not only the three of them, but also Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei, all appeared in front of the luxurious bedroom in the Shangjun Captain's Mansion.

This is Jian Shuo's bedroom. According to the intelligence Jia Xu had obtained in advance, Jian Shuo would definitely sleep here whenever he rested in the Shangjun Xiaowei Mansion.

Ji Qiu took out a life detector from his personal space, and the blue indicator light of the instrument flickered in the darkness.

He pressed the detection button, and the ripples on the screen began to vibrate violently.

A red light dot kept flashing on the three-dimensional map, accurately locking onto the position of the couch in the dormitory.

"Yes, that's right, it's Jian Shuo!"

A smile appeared on Ji Qiu's face. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he asked Jia Xu to use a life detector to lock onto Jian Shuo's life information in advance.

At this time, if you use a life detector to check, you can easily determine the identity of the person on the couch.

"Go ahead!" Ji Qiu ordered decisively.

Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow leaped onto the eaves of the bedroom like a ghost.

Huang Zhong half-knelt on the beast's spine and took out a Remington 700 sniper rifle.

This is a classic bolt-action sniper rifle with extremely high accuracy. After professional modification, adjustment of the barrel and replacement of the appropriate firing mechanism, it can stably fire special anesthetic bullets.

Its advantage is that it can utilize the original precise shooting performance to accurately hit the target at a long distance. However, the modification process is complicated and requires professional firearms knowledge and equipment, and the reliability after modification needs to be tested multiple times.

The Remington 700 sniper rifle in front of you has naturally been modified and debugged by professionals.

The tranquilizer bullets it is equipped with can paralyze an elephant instantly!
This is the weapon Ji Qiu prepared specifically for tonight's operation.

If we could use tranquilizer bullets to take down Jian Shuo directly, it would undoubtedly save a lot of effort.

The metal body of the Remington 700 sniper rifle is covered with silencer cotton, giving off a cold matte glow in the snowy night.

Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and the blurry outline of a human figure in the dormitory was reflected in the scope.

The cold wind blew fine snow across the lens, but he remained motionless, his index finger lightly resting on the trigger.

With a very light "click", the anesthetic bullet cut through the snow curtain, accurately penetrated the gap in the window frame, and went straight to Jian Shuo who was sleeping soundly on the couch.

However, at the moment when the anesthetic bullet touched Jian Shuo, Jian Shuo's body suddenly became ethereal, and he turned into a shadow!
Snapped!
The anesthetic bullet penetrated the shadow without any delay and hit the bed. The anesthetic agent in the bullet splashed everywhere!
"Who is this traitor who dares to assassinate our family?!"

"Come here, capture these traitors!"

An angry, cold, and sharp voice came from the dormitory and echoed throughout the entire Upper Army Captain's Mansion.

As the sound came, the guards guarding various places in the Upper Army Captain's Mansion heard the news and rushed towards the bedroom.

"Damn it! It turns out that it's not that easy to take down Jian Shuo!"

Ji Qiu cursed inwardly at his bad luck, but he wasn't too surprised.

After all, Jian Shuo is a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the world of the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms. If he was taken down so easily, it would be an underestimation of the extraordinary power system of the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms.

Ji Qiu had actually prepared for the possibility of a missed attack, and had placed silencers around the dormitory in advance. These silencers absorbed all of Jian Shuo's shouts, so Jian Shuo's guards outside the dormitory did not hear Jian Shuo's voice.

Then Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Ren Hongchang, rushed towards Jian Shuo's direction.

Ji Qiu immediately returned to Taishan County and brought Gao Shun and the personal guard camp.

Gao Shun commanded the personal guard battalion to form a military formation, surrounded the dormitory, and prevented Jian Shuo from breaking out!

At this time, no one knew what secret technique Jian Shuo used, but he was in invisible state.

But this did not pose a problem for Ji Qiu, because Jian Shuo's secret technique of invisibility could hide the body but not the breath of life.

However, the life detector in Ji Qiu's hand was always locked onto Jian Shuo's life information, and this information was synchronized in real time to the individual combat systems of other personnel participating in the operation.

So even though Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Ren Hongchang couldn't see Jian Shuo, it didn't prevent them from finding Jian Shuo's location.

Jian Shuo was obviously quite surprised that the three people found his location so easily.

But this is obviously not the time to investigate the reasons.

He cancelled the secret technique of invisibility, then with a flash of his body, he fled out quickly like a ghost.

Just as Ji Qiu had expected, Jian Shuo, who was born as a palace secret guard, indeed possessed a secret technique with high speed and high burst.

He was moving so fast at this moment that even Zhao Yun, who was possessed by the innate secret technique of dragon soul, could not catch up with him!

However, Jian Shuo did not really escape from the dormitory, because just as he started to move, Ji Qiu naturally took out the Juque Sword from his personal space.

Then he swung his hand suddenly, and the third-grade intermediate heavy pressure secret technique was released. All the pressure condensed into one point and acted on Jian Shuo's body.

Jian Shuo's movement speed was immediately reduced by more than 70%!
"Jujue Sword? How come you have Jujue Sword in your hand? Are you..." Jian Shuo exclaimed.

As an assassin who masters the secret technique of high speed and high burst, what Jian Shuo fears most in his life is the secret technique of heavy pressure in the Juque Sword.

So he naturally paid special attention to this Juque sword.

Therefore, he knew that Liu Hong had given this sword to Ji Qiu during his lifetime.

Now that he suddenly saw this sword, he naturally knew Ji Qiu's identity at the first moment.

Although he knew Ji Qiu's identity, he didn't have the chance to say it out loud.

Because Ren Hongchang was already not far in front of him.

Ren Hongchang's black gauze dress moved without wind. When she lowered her eyes and raised her hands, her twelve wide sleeves cascaded down like flowing clouds. The silver bells on her wrists rang out crisp sounds, startling the birds perched under the eaves, which started flapping their wings.

Her toes tapped lightly like a dragonfly skimming the water, and as she twisted her waist, the translucent shawl spun into a crimson moonlight.

The wide sleeves suddenly spread out like a white crane spreading its wings, and suddenly gathered like a lotus just opening. The fluttering skirt concealed the gleam of sharp swords and knives.

The coiled dragon holding a pearl on the ceiling of the hall vibrated with the beat of the drums. Ren Hongchang suddenly leaned back, her black hair sweeping across the stone slabs on the ground, and her jade neck and waist formed a breathtaking arc.

Her jade feet crushed the moonlight on the ground, her arms drew lingering arcs, her fingertips condensed with crimson light, dyeing the candlelight in the courtyard a hazy rouge color.

She stood on tiptoe and soared into the air, her skirt spreading out like a blooming red spider lily.

When she landed, her wide sleeves swung out silver rainbows, and twelve bells burst out with clear sounds at the same time, interweaving into a suffocating rhythm.

This is her innate secret technique, the stunning dance!
The stunning dance that can amplify all mind control secret techniques!

The candlelight in the magnificent hall illuminates the banquet, and the sounds of phoenix pipes and phoenix flutes circle around the painted beams.

The green sleeves dance in the purple mist, and the silk skirt flutters with red fragrance.

His body is like a soaring crane flying through the clouds, and his steps are like a glittering duck flying on the water.

A stunning fairy melody starts, and everyone in the room is so intoxicated that they forget to go home.

While performing the stunning dance, colorful divine light bloomed from Ren Hongchang's enchanting eyes!

This is the acquired secret technique she practiced, the secret technique of confusing the mind!
The Jinghong Dance combined with the Bewitching Heart Secret Technique, a mind control secret technique that reached the peak effect of the fifth grade, pressed towards Jian Shuo.

Even though Jian Shuo was a third-rank scholar, he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.

And just this moment was enough for Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to rush to Jian Shuo.

At the same time, Huang Zhong, who was standing on the roof, also shot a second anesthetic bullet at Jian Shuo.

Zhao Yun held a spear, Dian Wei held a double bullet, and with Huang Zhong's tranquilizer bullet, the three attacks hit Jian Shuo almost at the same time.

Faced with these three brave generals who are unmatched in courage, even if an ordinary person is in good condition, he will probably not have time to resist and will be captured.

What's more, he was under the control of the third-grade intermediate heavy pressure secret technique and the fifth-grade peak mind-confusing secret technique, and had no power to resist.

But Jian Shuo is not an ordinary person!

He is the top assassin among the palace secret guards, the captain of the upper army commanding 8,000 northern troops, a senior scholar of the third rank, and the most powerful person in the entire Han Empire!
How could he be taken down so easily?
So even in this desperate situation, he was still able to struggle hard.

Suddenly, a strange blue light shot out from his eyes, and a thick black mist like ink rose behind him.

A terrifying shadow broke out from the ground at his spine. First, the twisted joints made a teeth-grinding friction sound. Nine deformed giant limbs covered with blue-black scales squirmed and stretched like octopus tentacles, with bloody barbs hanging at the end. Every twitch brought a fishy and rotten wind.

When the shadowy head emerged from the black fog, it let out a scream like a child crying.

Three rotten skulls were stacked up, dark purple pus swollen in the empty eye sockets, sticky saliva dripped between the jagged fangs, and the top skull had a half-open wrinkled mouth, with a densely packed tongue covered with barbs, greedily opening and closing as if to devour the surrounding air.

Countless twisted human faces were wrapped around its neck, the facial features squeezed and deformed into strange smiles, and the skin showed lines of blue-gray and dark red intertwined.

The huge bat wings spread out to cover the roof of the hall, but several uncorrupted corpses were embedded between the membrane wings, with empty eye sockets staring straight down. The broken limbs swayed slightly with the movement of the phantom, and rotten flesh fell off.

The temperature around suddenly dropped, and the cold air emitted by the shadow condensed into frost flowers, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the floor tiles wherever it passed.

"Oh my god, what the hell is this?"

Everyone was shocked, and Ji Qiu even cursed out loud.

He is also knowledgeable. Since coming to the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms, he has seen many secret techniques.

But I have never seen such a terrifying secret technique!

However, under the influence of this terrifying secret technique, Jian Shuo increased his mental resistance and speed to an astonishing level.

He was completely immune to the effects of heavy pressure and the secret technique of confusing the mind!

He easily dodged the triple attacks from Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong.

Then Jian Shuo rushed out of the dormitory with a flash of his body, came to mid-air, and stood in the air.

"Hahaha! You traitors, you dare to come and assassinate our family! You are truly so bold!"

"Every one of you deserves to have your tendons pulled out, your skin peeled off, and your bones ground into dust!"

"But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you become Lord Anwang's sacrifice!"

"Your life has not been in vain as you were able to die at the hands of Lord Anwang and become a part of him!" Jian Shuo laughed arrogantly.

Ji Qiu frowned slightly. "Lord An Wang? Is this the name of the demonic shadow? Or is it the name of this unknown secret technique?"

In fact, he was not completely unfamiliar with this secret technique of having a huge shadow appear behind him.

When Dian Wei's innate secret technique of evil possession is used with all his strength, a huge shadow will appear behind him.

However, the phantom of the demon behind Dian Wei and the phantom of the monster behind Jian Shuo are obviously not the same thing.

Although the shadow of the demon behind Dian Wei is ugly and extremely majestic, Meng can still see that he should be a positive character.

The demonic shadow behind Jian Shuo was obviously not a good thing.

However, no matter whether this demonic shadow is a good thing or not, it cannot change the outcome of tonight's action.

This operation tonight should be considered a failure.

Because Jian Shuo's movement speed, with the help of secret techniques, has exceeded the speed of sound.

There is nothing invincible in the martial arts of the world except speed.

When Jian Shuo's movement speed reaches this level, all of Ji Qiu's plans will be useless.

Therefore, it is probably hopeless to capture Jian Shuo tonight and torture him to know the secret techniques of the Yulin Army.

But Ji Qiu was not very panicked.

Because even if he couldn't catch Jian Shuo, with the Time and Space Gate and the Qiankun Bag, it would not be a problem for him to escape safely.

As for Jian Shuo confirming his identity through the Juque Sword, this will certainly create some passive situations, but it is not a big problem.

He had many reasons to explain this.

In any case, the current Eastern Han court was not capable of dealing with him who was far away in Taishan County.

More importantly, Jian Shuo will not live for much longer. Even if he escapes capture tonight, he will not live for much longer.

This is inevitable!
However, just when Ji Qiu was about to order the entire army to retreat, something strange happened on the battlefield again.

Dian Wei's eyes suddenly glowed red, and at the same time, black air filled the air behind him. A shadowy figure of a demon god wearing bronze scale armor broke out of the ground behind him.

It was the huge phantom of the demon that would appear behind him when he used all his strength to perform the innate secret technique to possess the evil.

But today's phantom of the demon god is slightly different from the phantoms of the demon god in the past.

It is more agile and more real than the demon shadows of the past.

Those twelve arms covered with hideous scars seemed to be real, making people afraid.

The shadow of the demon suddenly raised its head, and its two huge scarlet eyes, which were bigger than a house, stared at the shadow of the demon behind Jian Shuo.

He moved his body casually and pounced towards the demon's shadow.

Either the demon's phantom had already put away its initial arrogance and seemed a little panicked when it saw the demon's phantom appear.

Seeing the shadow of the demon rushing towards him, he turned around and tried to escape.

But how could it be too late?
The demon's shadow instantly came behind the demon's shadow, grabbed the demon's shadow with its twelve giant claws, and then opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the demon's shadow in one gulp!
