Chapter 200 Guiqiu and Suzaku’s conspiracy

Chapter 200 Guiqiu and Suzaku’s conspiracy

Ding dong——

The voice sounded.

The elevator door slowly opened.

What caught his eye was the red color that occupied Xuanwu's entire field of vision.

This red color covers the entire corridor.

Whether it's the floor, wall, or ceiling above your head.

Everything is covered.

On the walls on both sides, there are oil paintings hanging.

Paint as described above.

Or a raging fire that engulfs the sky and eats the earth.

Or a stump of a limb or an arm, blood flying everywhere.

What you see.

All are boundless red.

Just being in such an environment makes one's body feel uncomfortable.

Good thing.

For Suzaku, Xuanwu is not his first contact.

He had already experienced its quirks.

Therefore, he did not show much surprise.

Lift your feet and take a step.

Xuanwu walked towards the depths of the corridor step by step.

The corridor was silent.

Exuding a deathly silence.

Only the dull sound made by the contact between the feet and the carpet sounded rhythmically.

Xuanwu frowned slightly.

With continuous deepening.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The surrounding air gradually distorted.

A rolling heat wave hit my face.

With every step forward, Xuanwu could feel the temperature around him rising.

It's like being in the crater of a volcano.

Or standing in front of the sky full of flames.

This made Xuanwu, who was accustomed to a humid environment, feel very uncomfortable.

tread.

The steps settled.

"Enter."

Before Xuanwu could make any move, a voice came from behind the door.

No hesitation.

Xuanwu twisted the handle and pushed the door open.

A huge office appears in front of you.

The decoration color scheme is the same as that of the corridor.

Behind the desk made of mahogany.

A strange young man dressed in red, with red hair on his head, and red eyeshadow around his eyes was lazily leaning on the boss's chair.

His body is leaning forward and his legs are crossed.

He held his cheek with his palm and looked at Xuanwu with a half-smile.

His sight seemed to have substantial heat.

Under his gaze, Xuanwu felt his body become hot and his blood seemed to be boiling.

There is a distortion visible to the naked eye in the surrounding air.

Xuanwu watched helplessly as the hair on his forehead continued to twist and scorch under the force of high temperature.

"Senior Suzaku."

Xuanwu looked solemn and lowered his head slightly.

The reason why he called Suzaku senior was not because he wanted something from him.

It's just a matter of seniority.

Although Suzaku looks like a young man on the surface.

But like Qinglong, he is an old man who joined the holy religion when it was founded.

The actual age is at least sixty.

Naturally, he is worthy of being called a senior by Xuanwu.

"Xuanwu."

"I know what happened to you."

Suzaku's voice is like its person, neither male nor female, very neutral.

"Could you be asking me to save you?"

Although the Four Saints of the Holy Religion all serve the leader of the Holy Religion.

But there is no cooperative relationship between them.

on the contrary,

The leader of the Holy Cult seldom serves as director and rarely summons other people.

Only when one of the Four Saints completes the tasks assigned by him will he be rewarded.

For people of the same level as the leader, just a little bit of anything flowing out from their fingers would be enough for them to benefit from endlessly.

So he was extremely eager.

However, after joining the Holy Cult from Xuanwu and receiving the Breathing Technique from the leader, he no longer had the chance to receive awards.

Most of the time, this award falls on Qinglong and Suzaku.

Therefore.

When Suzaku asked.

Xuanwu clearly heard contempt and ridicule in the words.

"."

Xuanwu's face gradually became gloomy.

A sense of humiliation suddenly emerged in his heart.

Even if Suzaku is a senior.

As Xuanwu, he is equal to the other party in terms of status.

But now, facing Suzaku's ridicule, he didn't even dare to refute.

even.

Xuanwu slowly closed his eyes.

His fists slowly clenched.

The next second.

thump!

Xuanwu bent his knees and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards,

His forehead hit the ground hard.

Feel the hot feeling coming from your forehead.

Xuanwu's heart was completely filled with a strong sense of humiliation, and he was tortured almost to the point of going crazy.

So much so that his body was trembling slightly.

"Senior Suzaku, please save me!"

But he still endured the humiliation and made a request to Suzaku.

The next second.

"Hahahahaha."

Suzaku's laughter suddenly sounded, echoing in the room.

Xuanwu didn't react.

He just knelt on the ground quietly, letting the other person's smile keep hitting his heart like a heavy hammer.

a long time.

The laughter gradually faded away.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Voices came from above.

Xuanwu felt another burst of heat in his body.

He knew that this was Suzaku turning his attention to himself again.

"Xuanwu."

"Actually, I've never liked you very much."

comes with it.

There was also the sound of chairs creaking.

It seemed that Suzaku stood up from his chair.

"Among the Four Saints, you have the worst talent, and your temperament is also inferior."

"It was a little late to join my holy religion."

"But I don't know how to work for the Holy Religion with peace of mind and contribute my own strength. All day long I just want to think about evil ways and gain the attention of the leader."

"I've seen you unhappy for a long time."

Tread, step.

Calm and powerful footsteps sounded rhythmically, gradually approaching Xuanwu.

Until the last sound rang in my ears.

Hiss——

Xuanwu's palms began to twitch involuntarily.

Wisps of green smoke slowly floated from the surface of its body.

Every hair on his head was twisting and scorching, and his skin was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Uh-huh!

Flames appeared out of thin air and instantly ignited Xuanwu's clothes.

Even though the tortoise shell texture brought about by practicing Xuanming Zhenwu spontaneously activated, trying to resist the flames for him.

But it seemed completely irresistible.

In a blink of an eye,

This flame has spread to Xuanwu's body and penetrated into his body, burning every inch of his body.

tread!

A foot wearing a slipper suddenly stepped on the back of Xuanwu's head.

Step by step his head into the floor.

Cracks continued to appear and spread in all directions.

"You should be eager to beat me to death now."

The sound came from above.

Even as severe pain engulfed my mind.

Even though Xuanwu really wanted to kill Suzaku for humiliating him.

However, he didn't dare.

"Senior, no, I dare!"

In the corner where Suzaku can't see.

Xuanwu's face was as ferocious as a demon's, and his eyes were filled with endless resentment and humiliation.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out each word from between his teeth.

Hear the words.

Suzaku chuckled.

"It doesn't matter."

"I do not mind."

He shrugged and did not let go of Xuanwu's foot.

"However, you are able to do this in order to ask me to help you. I am really impressed."

"How about this."

Speaking of which.

Xuanwu suddenly felt his head loosen.

"One hour."

Suzaku stretched and walked towards his seat.

Behind him, the flames clinging to Xuanwu's body did not subside. On the contrary, they were getting stronger.

"In an hour, if you're not dead yet."

After sitting back on the chair, Suzaku excitedly picked up his phone and turned on the camera mode, aiming at Xuanwu who was kneeling on the ground.

"I'll give you a chance."

"An opportunity to be loyal to me."

The weird thing is.

The whole room was obviously filled with high temperature.

But the temperature around Suzaku's body was as usual.

This prevented his cell phone from spontaneously igniting and exploding.

"Thank you, senior."

Xuanwu endured the severe pain and spoke with difficulty.

His voice sounded hoarse and harsh due to damage to his vocal cords.

"Shut up."

Suzaku said lightly.

"When you survive, it's not too late to thank me."

Ever since.

As time goes by.

There were crackling sounds, and a burning smell gradually spread.

Xuanwu's skin gradually transformed into a burnt black color.

The breath of life in his body gradually weakened.

But until it completely disappeared, Xuanwu endured it without making any sound.

An hour's time.

It passed quietly like this.

Suzaku thought it was interesting at first, so he took out his cell phone and kept taking pictures.

But after only twenty minutes, he began to feel bored and regretted his decision.

A middle-aged man stayed in his room and played "BBQ"

This made him very uncomfortable and he didn't dare to sleep even if he wanted to.

But as the Four Saints of the Holy Religion.

At least in front of outsiders, every word he said must have weight.

therefore,

Suzaku could only hold back his boredom, watching short videos on his phone and waiting for time to pass.

that's all.

after an hour.

The flames gradually died down.

"Uh-huh——"

Suzaku stretched and yawned.

The corners of his eyes turned to the ground.

Originally, Xuanwu had a muscular body all over his body.

Now it has turned into a big ball of flesh and blood, lying quietly on the ground, motionless.

Seems to be dead.

But in Suzaku's perception.

The other person's heart is still beating.

It's just that the amplitude is extremely weak.

"good."

"One hour should have been enough to burn you to death."

"You're still alive, which is a bit beyond my expectations."

Suzaku said.

I didn't see him making any moves.

Uh-huh!

The flames ignited from Xuanwu again.

But this time.

Not only did it not cause any harm to Xuanwu, it even continued to repair his body.

Um?

Xuanwu, whose original consciousness was close to disappearing, gradually regained consciousness.

Feeling the numbness coming from everywhere in his body, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Click. Click.

The flames seeped into every corner of his body, repairing all his damage from the deepest levels.

The body that was originally burned into a charred shell was cracked, revealing the new white skin inside.

Even the physical damage caused by Xuanwu's previous power being forcibly taken away was still being repaired.

One minute later.

Xuanwu, who was completely naked, knelt on the ground.

He looked at his rejuvenated body and felt extremely shocked in his heart.

He had never felt in such good physical condition since his authority was taken away.

After all, he is also the one who has cultivated Xuanming Zhenwu to the fifth level.

Although his authority was taken away, his strength was greatly reduced.

But the foundation of the physical body is still here.

He had tried several times before but failed.

but now,

Suzaku just had a second thought and completely repaired his body.

Such power is far beyond Xuanwu's imagination.

Thinking of this,

Xuanwu became increasingly resentful towards the person who took away his power.

Killing intent surged in his eyes, almost overflowing from his pupils.

If it weren't for that bastard, even if he wasn't as good as Suzaku, how much worse would he be.

But now, he must grovel in front of the other party in order to have any chance of survival.

You must take back your authority.

Then, cut that bastard into pieces.

Thinking of this,

Xuanwu didn't hesitate at all.

Boom!

He kowtowed heavily to Suzaku again.

His forehead collided with the ground, making a muffled sound.

"Senior, please help me regain my authority."

"Xuanwu will definitely burn his heart and brains from now on and die for his predecessors."

"Yo yo yo."

Suzaku smiled.

"I didn't expect you to look like an illiterate person."

"You can still speak in a polite manner."

"but."

"It's impossible to expect me to help you personally."

Speaking of which.

Xuanwu didn't have time to be disappointed.

Suzaku took out something from his pocket and seemed to have already prepared it.

The special tempered glass makes a clanging sound when it collides with the tabletop.

"But something like this should be enough for you to solve your troubles."

Hear this.

Xuanwu looked up.

He saw a tube of glass reagent lying quietly on the table.

It contains a small amount of bright red liquid.

He had never seen anything like this before.

"This is."

Xuanwu sounded confused.

"This is the reward that the leader gave me some time ago."

"It is a physical enhancer made from the blood of the leader."

! ! !

Even Xuanwu doesn't know the specific effect of this so-called "physical enhancer".

But I heard the name of the leader of the holy religion.

His breathing suddenly became a little heavier.

And what Suzaku said next.

It even made his heart beat faster.

"This tube of reagent can at least triple your current physical strength."

"Coupled with your Xuanming Zhenwu ability, it should be enough to deal with the person who took away your authority."

Hear this.

Xuanwu's eyes suddenly looked fanatical.

What kind of person is he Xuanwu.

He is the person who has perfected the breathing method of divine beasts.

Combined with the other two breathing methods, the body has already tapped into its full potential and is unable to make any progress.

And with this potion, he can actually multiply his physical strength several times.

When combined with the complete breakthrough, the Xuanwu Transformation can increase the strength by up to five times.

The thought of this.

Xuanwu was so excited that his eyes were red.

Even if the other party holds authority.

In the face of such a powerful force, I am afraid that I will be crushed like an ant in an instant.

"Thank you, senior."

Saying,

He got up from the ground and prepared to take the potion.

He couldn't wait to seize every moment to take back his authority.

"slow."

Sudden.

Suzaku turned his hand to cover the reagent.

"Senior Suzaku, this"

Xuanwu was stunned.

"Eat this thing for me first."

The corner of Suzaku's mouth curled up and he stretched out a finger.

bass!

The flame ignited along his fingertips and gradually condensed into a fireball.

"I'm not that kind to help you for no reason."

"I don't believe you either. After you take back the power, you will honestly do things for me."

"This fire allows me to control your life anytime and anywhere. Unless you hold more authority than me, you can't get rid of it no matter what."

Hear the words.

Xuanwu's face immediately became extremely ugly.

Yes.

He said that he would die for Suzaku.

But after being humiliated by the other party, how could he really be loyal to the other party?

Today's low profile is just a delaying tactic for him.

Once you get your power back, who the hell cares who Suzaku is.

Even if you are stronger than me, you may not be able to kill me.

even,

Xuanwu also wants to wait until his strength surpasses Suzaku in the future, and then beat him to death in order to avenge today.

However,

What Suzaku said now.

It completely wiped out the thoughts in his mind.

If you swallow this fire, your wealth and life will be in the hands of others, and there will be no freedom at all.

But without swallowing this fire, without Suzaku's help, he might not even have a chance to survive.

Xuanwu's face was uncertain, and he was constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

He wants to live.

I want to live with great power.

As long as you are alive, you will have unlimited opportunities.

Ever since.

In just a few breaths.

Xuanwu already had a decision in his heart.

Uh-huh!

He stretched out his hand and grasped the flame in Suzaku's hand.

It's obviously an intangible thing.

But at this moment, it seems to have substance.

A hissing burning sound suddenly sounded from the palm.

Xuanwu opened his mouth and threw the fire directly into his mouth.

The next second.

His eyes widened.

The veins on his body kept popping out.

As soon as Xuanwu swallowed the fire, he felt as if a bomb exploded in his mouth.

The intense heat made him subconsciously spit out the fire.

But before he could react, the burning sensation seemed to be alive, going down his throat and directly into his body.

In the blink of an eye.

The burning sensation that made him miserable spread to every part of his body.

Fortunately,

The pain didn't last long.

In just a few breaths, the flames quickly gathered, eventually forming a fireball the size of a baby's fist at his heart.

"Ho--"

Xuanwu's forehead was covered with dense cold sweat.

He clutched his heart and gasped for air.

But even so.

Xuanwu did not forget to thank Suzaku.

"Not bad."

Suzaku looked him up and down, nodding from time to time.

He originally thought that Xuanwu would take care of him and deliberately not swallow the fireball, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward.

"Don't be too quick to resent me."

"Although this fire allows me to control your life, it is also your life-saving straw."

Facing Xuanwu's confused gaze, Suzaku explained calmly.

"When your life is in danger, this fire can save your life."

"He can instantly restore your body to its full strength in a very short period of time."

Having said this, Suzaku's body slowly leaned forward.

He stretched out a hand and stroked Xuanwu's head like a pet.

"I'm pretty good to you, little bastard."

Suzaku grinned.

Little tortoise?

If he had just entered this room, such a name would have made Xuanwu furious.

But after being humiliated again and again by Suzaku.

It's just a title, it doesn't hurt him.

on the contrary.

After learning that fire can also bring people back to life.

The humiliation he felt in his heart for giving his life to Suzaku was magically reduced.

Xuanwu didn't notice this subtle change.

He just suddenly felt that swallowing fire didn't seem so difficult to accept.

"Thank you, Senior Suzaku."

"senior?"

"Thank you, Lord Suzaku."

Xuanwu lowered his head deeply, as if he had completely surrendered to Suzaku.

"Okay, go find the person who took away your authority."

"As for the leader and Bai Hu, I can help you buy two days."

"You'd better hold on tighter."

Hear the words.

Xuanwu looked happy.

Originally, he thought that he only had one night at most, so this was very urgent.

But now, Suzaku is actually willing to help him buy two more days.

Two days' time.

Those who were religious enough turned the country of China upside down.

"Besides, don't you have a gadget that can sense the power of water?"

"After you go out in a while, you contact Shen and give him some induction beads."

"I'll let my people look for it together."

"Thank you, Master Suzaku!!"

Xuanwu looked excited.

Compared to before, when he said these words now, he unconsciously had a bit more true feelings.

"Okay, okay."

"It's nothing, just go."

Suzaku waved his hand.

Xuanwu, who was anxious to find Chen Sheng, left quickly.

There was a click.

The door is closed.

Xuanwu's hurried footsteps gradually faded away.

After he left.

Suzaku slowly turned the boss's chair and faced the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

Through the glass, he could clearly see the scene below the sales department.

Including Xuanwu who quickly left the sales hall.

Look at each other's back.

Suzaku's eyes were filled with strange colors.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Boom boom.

The knock on the door came again.

"Enter."

The door opened in response.

A figure in a suit entered.

It was Mr. Shen who quickly went upstairs when he saw Xuanwu leaving.

He smiled playfully.

"Boss, how's it going?"

"Well, I have already promised him."

Suzaku glanced at Mr. Shen.

"Are you sure that the person who took away the power was the Chen Sheng you mentioned last time?"

"It's probably close to ten."

Mr. Shen scratched his head.

"Since the last time I met him, I started investigating those practitioners of Xuanming Zhenwu."

"Even if someone gets this divine beast breathing method by chance, there are only a few of them who can cultivate it to the highest level."

"So I conclude that it is undoubtedly Chen Sheng."

As the two talked, they had already guessed that Chen Sheng was the one who took away the power of water.

Hear the words.

Suzaku nodded.

"Then let the people under your command pay close attention to Xuanwu's movements."

"When Xuanwu finds the other party and is about to regain power, it's time for us to take action."

"I hope the Chen Sheng you are talking about is worth our efforts to win over."

Bang bang bang.

Upon hearing this.

Mr. Shen immediately patted his chest in assurance.

"Don't worry, boss."

"I watched that guy beat Mr. Zun to death with one punch after another."

"And he is suspected of having the power of thunder. If he is the one who takes away the power of water now."

"If we want to deal with that old thing, such a person is absolutely indispensable."

"Let him be this Xuanwu, it's better than that old bastard."

To this.

Suzaku was noncommittal.

Regarding Chen Sheng, his understanding was limited to Mr. Shen's mouth.

Although he is very interested in Chen Sheng's ability, he will not blindly believe it unless seeing is believing.

"Get lost."

"okay!"

Mr. Shen bowed deeply to Suzaku, his expressions and movements were extremely exaggerated.

Then, he quickly walked out of the door.

Another bang.

The office fell into silence again.

Suzaku looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually becoming lost in thought.

"Can actually take away authority."

"Such a method is really interesting."
