Chapter 41: Night attack
As a mine owner, Gu Chengping is also a high-ranking figure in the eyes of ordinary people, so he naturally has some cultivation skills.
Although he is incomparable to Jiang Heng, his ability to withstand attacks is at least much stronger than that of ordinary people.
After a violent beating.
With bruises all over his body and blood on his face, Gu Chengping lay weakly on his back, groaning feebly.
“Gu Chengping, do you have anything to say?”
Jiang Heng exercised for a while, his face was not red and he was out of breath. He put one foot on Gu Chengping's chest and asked calmly.
Gu Chengping still had no reaction.
“Ha! He is really tough, he is worthy of being a mine owner!”
Jiang Heng chuckled and stepped on Gu Cheng's left palm.
“Boom!”
The ground cracked, and spider web-like cracks spread in all directions.
"ah!"
Gu Chengping's screams sounded at the same time. His already completely paralyzed body instinctively generated some strength. He held his left arm with his right hand and his whole body twisted crazily.
His left hand had been trampled into a **** mess.
Jiang Heng ignored it, turned around and walked away for a few steps.
“Come here!”
A young man bowed and walked in. When he saw the situation in the courtyard, he suddenly started to tremble.
“Two... sirs.”
“Go and buy me a pair of seven-inch-eight shoes.”
Jiang Heng walked up to the young man and handed over a tael of silver.
The young man waved his hands in fear: "Sir, I don't dare to accept your money. I... will buy it right now!"
Jiang Heng slapped him on the shoulder.
The young man trembled, but Jiang Heng said forcefully: "Take it, go buy it!"
"yes!"
The young man did not dare to say anything more. After nodding respectfully, he took the money and ran out quickly.
Jiang Heng chuckled and said to Mi Wenjie:
"It seems that his accomplices are quite powerful here. Gu Chengping believed that he would die and did not dare to reveal his accomplices, probably because he was afraid of involving his family."
"In this case, I'm afraid we can only look at the clue of Fire Cloud Iron Mother."
After a few days, Mi Wenjie had a general understanding of Jiang Heng.
Powerful, extremely talented, quick-thinking, and domineering.
All this made him convinced.
“Huo Yun Tiemu is of great importance. Senior Brother Jiang, should we report it to the sect?”
Jiang Heng shook his head.
“No need, wait until we recover Huoyun Iron Mother, and then report back, lest the sect sends people to take away the contribution points of the mission.”
“Do you have any ideas about investigating Gu Chengping’s associates?”
Mi Wenjie frowned and thought.
After a moment, he still shook his head helplessly.
"There is no other way. We have to ask Gu Chengping to speak, or search his home to see if there are any relevant clues."
At this time, Jiang Heng’s ears moved slightly, he looked at Mi Wenjie, gave a slight signal with his eyes, and then said:
"Okay! I'll leave it to you then! Turn his house upside down, and don't let go of any clues."
“Gu Chengping dared to cooperate with the other party on such a major matter as planning to ambush the garrison. The two parties must have a long-term and stable cooperative relationship, and there will definitely be some clues left at home.”
Outside the courtyard, a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks crept away.
…
Slope gradually to the west.
The heat of the day gradually turns to coolness.
Chuanjiang City, in a luxurious and majestic mansion.
A man was sitting in the study, his face solemn.
Suddenly, a white homing pigeon flew from a distance and landed on the window sill.
The middle-aged man's expression changed. He quickly took off a piece of paper tied to the pigeon's leg and read it attentively.
After a while.
“Damn it! Gu Chengping, this loser! He was completely exposed!”
The middle-aged man squeezed his right hand tightly, and the note in his hand suddenly turned into powder under the surge of true energy.
“Damn it! It would be terrible if Daluo Sect traces it to my head!”
“With the caution of this good-for-nothing Gu Shengping, there will definitely be something to expose me, and the Daluo Sect must not find it!”
The middle-aged man began to think about coping strategies.
“Gu Chengping is not dead yet. If I kill his family, he will definitely expose my identity directly.”
“So, the most important thing now is to find a way to kill Gu Chengping quickly, and then burn his house down.”
“It just so happened that the two disciples of Daluo Sect acted separately…”
The middle-aged man looked stern and shouted to the door:
“Come here, please bring Deputy Gang Leader Ma and Deputy Gang Leader Liu over immediately!”
…
The red sun in the sky has completely sunk below the horizon.
The night begins.
In Jiang Heng’s small courtyard.
Gu Chengping, who was seriously injured, was **** and thrown into a corner of the yard, motionless.
Jiang Heng was still practicing as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, three figures in black quietly climbed into the courtyard wall.
One of the figures holding a long knife rushed towards Gu Chengping at the corner of the courtyard wall.
The other two people rushed towards Jiang Heng who was practicing at the same time.
The long sword is cold. Although its movement is silent, it contains a cold murderous intent.
Jiang Heng raised the corner of his mouth.
With a sudden movement of his body, like a docile little white rabbit, he instantly transformed into a violent dragon. He ignored the incoming sword and rushed out.
“Tsk!”
Two long swords passed through Jiang Heng's body almost at the same time, leaving no trace at all.
Instead, he raised his arms like two heavy hammers, hitting the two attackers.
The two of them did not expect Jiang Heng's response at all. In addition, Jiang Heng's movement speed was too terrifying due to his earth-level perfect movement.
So, it was just such a moment of close combat.
"bump!"
Two muffled sounds sounded almost at the same time.
The two attackers were hit in the chest at the same time, and their bodies flew out.
Jiang Heng's body almost never stopped, turning into a strong wind again and rushing towards another person holding a long knife.
"So fast?"
The face of the man in black changed drastically under the mask.
He could almost feel the strong wind pressure caused by the movement of Jiang Heng's body.
Gu Chengping was lying on the ground, not far in front of him.
But the man in black knew that if he insisted on killing Gu Chengping, he would also bear Jiang Heng's attack.
“Damn it!”
He gritted his teeth secretly, turned around and faced Jiang Heng, and the long knife wrapped in rich zhenqi suddenly slashed down.
Jiang Heng raised his hand and slapped it against the blade.
“镪!”
The blade shook violently and made a shrill sound.
The expression of the man in black changed drastically.
He has never seen such a terrifying body, which can resist the attack of the eighth level of the True Qi Realm with the palm of his flesh.
What shocked him even more.
With this blow, the two of them were evenly matched.
Based on the rich experience of the man in black, judging from the light red zhenqi covering Jiang Heng's palm, his cultivation level is only at the fourth or fifth level at most.
But with such a level of cultivation, his explosive power is as good as his own?
What kind of freak is this!
Jiang Heng, however, ignored the complicated thoughts of the man in black. At the moment when the palms and knives struck each other, he grabbed the long knife with his right hand and punched it out with his left hand.
The air exploded with astonishing power.
The man in black reacted very quickly, twisted his body, and drew the long knife in his hand.
The dull sound of a dull knife cutting cowhide came from Jiang Heng's palm, but the skin was not even scratched.
