Chapter 283 The Breath of Death
It's still that small residential courtyard.
It's almost dawn, and the sky is turning blue.
Under the orange light, Chu Tang banged something and threw something on the table in front of Zhou Ziyu, who had been waiting in the hall for most of the night.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chu has fulfilled his mission." Chu Tang said with relief.
"Burning Heart Finger Gloves?" Miss Lin'er behind Zhou Ziyu called out and recognized the black iron finger cuffs on the table. They were the ones Huang Longfei used to use the Burning Heart Finger.
Zhou Ziyu naturally recognized it. It was said that this finger glove was a sixth-grade magic weapon that he had helped Huang Longfei build. It was used to reward his subordinate for his dedicated work.
Unexpectedly, when I saw it again, Huang Longfei had changed into a completely different person. It was touching that everything had changed.
"Mr. Chu, this is not what we agreed to do." Zhou Ziyu raised his head, frowning slightly, very puzzled, "We clearly agreed to bring Huang Longfei's head to the meeting. You have been gone for an hour, but you bring this thing here Are you perfunctory with Zhou?"
Chu Tang said disgustedly: "Cutting off human heads will dirty the body. This thing is Huang Longfei's most precious magic weapon. If Chu can get it, it doesn't prove that he was killed? Mr. Zhou, between you and me, even this Don’t you have any trust?”
Zhou Ziyu was speechless and unable to refute.
Chu Tang glanced at him and said: "If you don't believe it, Mr. Zhou can stay in Changjun for a while. The news of Huang Longfei's death will naturally come to the county office tomorrow."
Miss Lin'er gently tugged on Zhou Ziyu's clothes from behind. He understood and quickly put on a smile and said: "Brother Chu, please forgive me. Zhou has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and his words are inevitably a little conflicted. Yes. If Brother Chu takes action, he will definitely be captured!"
Chu Tang secretly rolled his eyes again, and he had already recognized Zhou Ziyu's character in his heart: if you are useful to him, or do something good for him, he will call you brother politely; once he calls you young master politely, it means he has something in his heart Xiao Jiujiu.
However, he did not want to meet the other party, so he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhou, Chu has been running around for a day and two nights. He is really tired, so he went to rest for a while. I will inform Chu when I leave Changjun. . Oh, by the way, don’t forget to agree to Chu’s conditions.”
After saying that, regardless of Zhou Ziyu's expression, Chu Tang strode out of the hall.
Zhou Ziyu looked at his disappearing figure with a worried look on his face. He turned to Lin'er and said, "This guy seems to be getting more and more arrogant and his temper is getting louder and louder."
Miss Lin'er comforted and said: "People with ability have a big temper. Besides, he is the person you tried your best to win over, and you didn't hesitate to offend Huang Longfei for it. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand Huang Longfei's choice. If it weren't for Chu Tang, he won’t betray us either.”
Zhou Ziyu said coldly: "Where are you from, actually speaking for Huang Longfei, that rebellious official?"
Miss Lin'er smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Ziyu added: "I will ask someone to go to the county government office later to find out if Huang Longfei is dead. If he is not dead, I won't be able to sleep!"
Miss Lin'er persuaded: "Are you really planning to stay in the county? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. The best option is to wait for Lao Qin to succeed and leave quickly. Besides, Lao Qin also went to the county government tonight. , he will find out whether Huang Longfei was beheaded."
Zhou Ziyu was not relieved when he heard this, but frowned: "What's the matter with Old Qin? Chu Tang is back, and he is still dawdling! He is a master of the Seventh Realm, but he can't do things as neatly as Chu Tang?"
Miss Lin'er sighed and said: "Old Qin is not as good as Chu Tang in light kung fu, but you asked him to look for a bronze mirror. And Chu Tang is not as good as Lao Qin in martial arts, but you let him kill people. This arrangement is extremely abnormal, and it will inevitably cause harm. Smooth.”
Zhou Ziyu said: "I don't want to put all the eggs in the same basket! Speaking of which, Huang Longfei, a traitor, is also a six-level cultivator, but Chu Tang kills him so smoothly, then... this Chu Tang is so powerful in combat Already?"
Miss Lin'er said quietly: "Ever since his debut, no matter whether before or after he became famous, no one can figure out his martial arts skills, including us. Huang Longfei and the others lost the bronze mirror in Guijun. If it hadn't been for it a while ago It was deduced that it was Chu Tang who did it, who would have thought that it was his little detective who ruined our big event?"
Zhou Ziyu was depressed when he heard this and said: "It's true! If it weren't for him, what happened to Huang Longfei wouldn't have happened today! Damn Huang Longfei, after he reported on it like this, he ruined many of my arrangements, and many things had to be advanced... …”
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of breaking through the air outside the door, and a soft call of "Master" was heard.
"Old Qin is back!" Huang Longfei cheered up and stood up suddenly.
Sure enough, an old man dressed in night clothes and with a black scarf off his face walked in step by step and came to Zhou Ziyu.
It is Qin Guang, the remaining Seven Realm strongman from the Samsung Sword Sect!
He held a bronze mirror in both hands, handed it to Zhou Ziyu respectfully, and said, "Sir, Lao Qin has fulfilled his mission."
Zhou Ziyu's face froze, and he felt that these words seemed familiar, but he smelled the faint smell of blood on the other party's body, and couldn't help but ask: "Old Qin, did you kill someone?"
Qin Guang hummed and said lightly: "After getting the bronze mirror, I wanted to meet Chu Tang when I came out. I went to the location of Huang Longfei's traitor, but was discovered by a few officers and soldiers who were not very discerning. I didn't want to get entangled with them. I killed four or five of them casually before rushing back."
Zhou Ziyu was not interested in hearing how many people he had killed. He frowned and said, "So, the situation in Chang County has become increasingly tense."
Qin Guang consoled him and said, "Don't worry, young master. Lao Qin killed people silently and did not expose his hiding place. He also turned around several times on the way back to confirm that no one was following him. He came in and it will not affect the safety of this place."
Only then did Zhou Ziyu feel relieved. His eyes turned back to the small bronze mirror in the other person's hand. He suppressed his excitement and reached out to take it. He held it in the air and looked at it for a while under the dim light. Finally, he sighed: "I got this bronze mirror for you." , I have gone through so many ups and downs, it’s been quite a toss-up!”
Qin Guang laughed and said: "Now that the bronze mirror, bronze frame, and treasure map are all in hand, the young master is expected to have a great career, and his hard work over the years will be worth it!"
Zhou Ziyu also said with emotion: "Not bad! We finally have these things together, we... are about to succeed!"
With that said, he asked Qin Guang again: "Old Qin, you said you went to see Huang Longfei to make sure he was dead?"
Qin Guang's eyes had glanced at the finger cots on the table in front of him, and he recognized it as Huang Longfei's magic weapon. He couldn't help but ask: "Chu Tang is back already?"
Zhou Ziyu nodded, told the story of Chu Tang's arrival here, and confirmed again: "Huang Longfei was really killed by him?"
Qin Guang's face gradually became serious and he hesitated to speak.
"What, he lied?" Zhou Ziyu noticed something strange about the other party, and his expression didn't look good.
Qin Guang slowly shook his head: "He didn't lie. The thief Huang Longfei is indeed dead. Old Qin saw it with his own eyes and verified it with his own hands. The thief died in an extremely horrific way with the sword in his eyebrows."
Zhou Ziyu immediately heard the implication: "Terror?"
Qin Guang fell into recollection, and his eyes gradually showed doubts and fears, and said to himself: "The wound between Huang Longfei's eyebrows was only the size of a pea, but it destroyed his head and smashed his brain to pieces. His eyes were exposed, The look of fear was as if he had seen an extremely horrific situation. His whole body was lifeless, as if his energy and energy had been suddenly taken away, and he died silently in an instant."
Zhou Ziyu frowned when he heard this. He couldn't imagine the scene from the description in these words, but he could hear the solemnity, fear, and even fear from Qin Guang's tone.
"Old Qin, you..." Zhou Ziyu didn't know how to ask for a moment.
Qin Guang came back to his senses and became much more awake. His serious expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master, we may have underestimated Chu Tang's strength! He must not only be in the fifth realm as he claimed, but even Estimating it from the six realms is somewhat inaccurate.”
Zhou Ziyu said: "He may have revealed his secret skills again. Although he was wearing a human skin mask, I just heard that his voice was a little weak, his breath was not stable, and his steps were floating. Lin'er, have you noticed it?" "
He finally turned around and asked Miss Lin'er behind him.
Miss Lin'er thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That may be true. Seeing that he left in a hurry, it is impossible to say that he was going back to regulate his breathing and internal energy."
Qin Guang was still suspicious and said: "After using the secret skill, he won't be able to move around."
Zhou Ziyu added: "Maybe he found a way to make up for the shortcomings of the secret technique, so that he would not be so weak after using it."
Qin Guang hesitated and couldn't refute.
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, which was that when he checked Huang Longfei's body, he vaguely sensed a faint breath of death.
That aura, vaguely visible, vaguely present, lingering in the surrounding space, cannot be captured by those who are not sensitive to it.
That is the aura left after the use of potential in the upper three realms!
As a strong man in the Seventh Realm and an expert in swordsmanship, Qin Guang sensed an unheard-of, unprecedented and incomprehensible force in the sword from that breath.
The breath of death, even if it is very light and thin, will make people feel frightened and difficult to control themselves as soon as it comes close.
But it was this fear that made Qin Guang unable to determine whether his induction was accurate.
He couldn't believe that Chu Tang had achieved the Seven Realms.
How old is the other party? He's just twenty!
A person of this age who has achieved the fifth level can already be said to be a genius among geniuses; someone who has achieved the sixth level can be said to be almost rare and can be compared with the top geniuses of the past and present.
Twenty-year-old Seven Realms?
Is it possible? !
Qin Guang has lived for decades and has never seen such a monster. Oh no, let alone seen it, he has never heard of it!
He was embarrassed to say such a shocking guess, lest his son would say that he was living longer and going back.
Zhou Ziyu also ignored the unnatural look in Qin Guang's eyes, but walked a few steps in the hall, and gradually became excited: "At dawn, I asked everyone to dress up, leave Changjun in batches, and rush to Meng Let’s go to the county and look for an opportunity to meet again.”
Qin Guang perked up after hearing this, raised his head and asked, "Young master, do you think the treasure is in Meng County?"
Zhou Ziyu shook the bronze mirror in his hand and said, "Yes or no, you will know by combining the bronze mirror and the bronze frame according to the method."
"Isn't the bronze frame in Chu Tang's hands?" Qin Guang asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Zhou Ziyu gritted his teeth, "He needs a seventh-level skill and an eighth-level magic weapon before he is willing to hand over that thing! But this time he acted in a hurry, how could I get him an eighth-level magic weapon? ?”
Qin Guang looked around and whispered: "Master, do you want to..."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhou Ziyu waved his hand and said: "No need! He is still useful! Besides, since he stunned you last time, he is much more cautious now, let alone eating, drinking, and even breathing. Sometimes even face to face, I even We can't even detect his aura, which shows how wary he is of us. Even the medicine may not be effective. At this critical juncture, let's not cause trouble."
Qin Guang was noncommittal and said, "Young Master, I'll just count on him if he succeeds."
Zhou Ziyu said with enthusiasm: "I have my own arrangements!"
Qin Guang smiled and said nothing.
…………
The next day, it was bright and clear.
Outside the east gate of Changjun City, Chu Tang looked back at the high-walled gate of the county city, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a sieve!"
He left the county town with Zhou Ziyu and others.
At this time, the sky turned white, and the morning glow had not yet turned red.
The city gate was originally closed, and with Huang Longfei's commotion yesterday, the atmosphere in the entire Changjun County was tense. There should be more people guarding the city gate.
However, Zhou Ziyu didn't even need to cross the wall. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, someone opened the door for him, and the group of people walked out safely and safely.
Don't ask, even Changjun was infiltrated by Zhou Ziyu's people!
The whole city was like a leaky sieve, posing no threat to him at all.
Chu Tang became increasingly wary of this, and couldn't help but admire Zhou Ziyu's hands and eyes.
After sighing, he followed Zhou Ziyu for a mile or two. On the roadside, someone offered horses again, and several people were able to ride away.
"I have such a hard life!" Riding on the horse, Chu Tang couldn't help but pity himself.
In order to kill Huang Longfei quickly last night, he used the fifteenth sword of death sword technique that he did not fully control.
Absolutely still, filled with death, Huang Longfei was completely imprisoned by a sword force that was almost equivalent to the Seven Realms. He had little resistance and was killed by a sword.
Chu Tang's full blow caused half of his internal energy to be drained away, making him very weak.
Even if he used the Beiming Divine Technique to adjust his breath in the middle of the night, his internal strength could not completely make up for it.
At this moment, he had only recovered about 70% of his skills, and he had to run around again.
Depending on the situation, Zhou Ziyu and his party left separately.
Zhou Ziyu only took Miss Lin'er and Lao Qin from the Three-Star Sword Sect with him.
Counting him, there were only four people in the group.
Zhou Ziyu told him generously that their trip was to Mengjun, located in the northeast of Liangzhou.
He couldn't help but wonder: "Is it possible that the so-called treasure left by King Liang is hidden in Meng County?"
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense!
After these days of insinuations, combined with various inquiring information, Chu Tang already knew that the King of Liang was driven from the west to the east, and was finally defeated at the junction of Liang and Jing.
Mengjun is located in the northeasternmost part of Liangzhou. Further east or north, it used to be the territory of Jingzhou.
In addition, Chu Tang also thought of Chen Suming's family background.
If she remembers correctly, according to her, the Chen family is a small and prominent family in a county under the jurisdiction of Mengjun County.
The Chen family was the subordinate of King Liang.
After the defeat of King Liang, there was nothing wrong with them living in nearby counties and counties, changing their appearance and starting over.
All signs indicate that if there is a so-called treasure of the King of Liang, it is most likely buried at the border between Liang and Jingzhou.
After all, King Liang must have been in a hurry at that time. It was impossible to move the huge treasure to other places. Hiding it on the spot was the best option.
The more Chu Tang thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling that his guess was very close to the truth.
The closer he got to Mengjun, the louder the voice in his heart became: "The matter of Prince Liang's treasure is coming to an end. The descendants of Prince Liang, the court, the guards, and I, Chu Tang, are all about to come to an end." …”
Chu Tang's thoughts were also confused.
Seven days later.
In broad daylight, the four of them entered Yufu County under the jurisdiction of Meng County!
"We're here!" Under the scorching sun, Zhou Ziyu pointed at the outline of the county in the distance with high spirits.
