Chapter 374 Heart War
The underworld's mission in Xiangzhou is not simple but not difficult either. Use the Cao Gang to lure Zhao Yushu to Xiangzhou. There are countless opportunities to capture him along the way. Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, declare him to be alive to the outside world and force the academy to rescue him.
For this, the leader was given a top-grade earth-level treasure, which was enough to take Zhao Yushu around in circles and make Mr. Gu, who could travel a thousand miles at a time, run around in a hurry.
Logically speaking, Zhao Yushu is only at the fifth level, so the matter of Xiangzhou should be a sure thing.
But Mr. Liu, who had always been high-profile, suddenly disappeared after entering the city in a high-profile manner. He was like a poisonous snake in the darkness, suddenly jumping out, biting and running away. As a result, the Cao Gang had lost two generals but did not even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.
This made the people in the underworld a little nervous.
The underworld is not without a backup plan, but the academy also has one. It is hard to say which of the two will be more powerful.
The gray-haired general walked on the street with a long sword. Ever since he put on the black robe, he has obtained unimaginable resources. Last year, he was still stuck on the threshold of the sixth heaven, and was worried that he would not be able to make any further progress in his lifetime. But this year, with the support of a large amount of natural resources and treasures, he has already stood firmly in the seventh heaven.
Even compared with Nanyang Lanrong who had advanced through his own steady practice, except for lacking a little bit of so-called insight, he was not much different.
Suddenly, he stopped. The sharpness brought by his seventh-level cultivation made him realize that something was wrong.
Someone is following me.
He turned around and glanced around, causing all passers-by to avoid him in panic.
He didn't need to sneak around to see who was following him. His seventh-level cultivation made him very confident. Until now, he still believed that the second master of Jiangnan was killed yesterday because his own level was too low, or Zhao Yushu took the initiative in the sneak attack.
That's for sure!
Zhao Yushu, are you here with me? I've been searching for a long time, but why did you choose me? Am I easier to kill than Zhang Chun?
The general was suddenly a little frightened. It seemed that no one that Zhao Yushu wanted to kill survived, not even the emperor.
The general drew out his sword with a loud roar, stood on the street, his eyes flashing, staring at everyone around him, trying to find the follower.
"Zhao Yushu? You dare to follow me but not show up? When did the people in the academy become cowardly rats who hide their heads and show their tails?"
The general tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife slightly. It was very likely that the Second Master was killed by Zhao Yushu's sneak attack last night. If the Sixth Master of the Academy was good at assassination, where would he strike?
Of course Zhao Yushu would not take action now. It was broad daylight and people on the street were hiding in the distance watching. If he showed up, he would be completely exposed.
The general kept cursing for a long time, but no one showed up. Even the feeling of being stared at disappeared. The people watching from a distance had already started pointing at him. Several patrolling yamen runners even asked the general cautiously if he needed any help. From the looks in their eyes, they thought he was a madman.
"Humph, coward! Waste!"
The general mustered up his courage and cursed a few more times to give himself courage. After hesitating for a moment, he put away his sword and walked forward again.
As soon as I turned a corner, the hairs on my back stood up for no reason. He was here again!
The general almost instinctively drew his sword and turned around, staring at a young monk who happened to pass by.
The young monk was only glanced at by him, and was immediately shocked by the terrifying difference in spiritual power and sat down on the ground: "Senior, spare my life!"
"You are Zhao Yushu!"
"Junior, my surname is not Zhao, and I have never been to school!" The young monk was trembling all the time, and the general took a few deep breaths and said, "Get lost!"
The young monk ran away tumbling and crawling, and the general found that his back was soaked.
Zhao Yushu stood in front of a stall in the distance, leisurely looking at the general who had caused another chaos, and suddenly he didn't want to kill him with a sword anymore.
This person is very timid, maybe he can ask something.
Even if the generals were unwilling, they had to admit that they were a little scared. After joining the underworld, those who performed well would get a set of skills. This skill was good at hiding their original skills, and was even better at concealment and assassination. Therefore, the people in the underworld always did things in secret, like ghosts suddenly attacking in places where the enemy could not know.
But now, my tracks have been discovered. I am in the light while the other party is in the dark.
Moreover, the opponent's concealment level is not inferior to that of the deputy envoy of the Ninth Heaven, and is even better.
We can't stay here any longer, we have to rush to the Dog Hall to see the Deputy Envoy!
The general gritted his teeth, moved his body, and galloped down the street like a wild horse. As a general, he did not have to worry about being noticed by the people in the government office.
Although Xiangzhou is big, it is not that big when the Seventh Heaven is running at full speed. It only takes a while for him to reach the Dog Hall in Jiangbei.
But he stopped.
This time, the cool feeling was not behind me, but in front of me.
This place is close to the dog hall, and there are very few ordinary pedestrians. It is already early morning, and there are not many people coming here to have fun.
A perfect place for assassination.
There was a small alley ahead, and the general had a feeling that as soon as he walked in, he would be struck by a sword.
Zhao Yushu is faster than me!
There's no way to avoid it!
The general roared and drew his sword once again, but he did not move a step and sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
Damn it, what am I afraid of! I'm already in the seventh heaven!
The general's roar scared away the last few pedestrians, and then he saw a flash of green light in the alley ahead.
"Come out! Zhao Yushu, come out!"
The general roared, his arms shaking slightly.
There was no movement inside. A gust of wind blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed, and it seemed that a figure was shaking.
The general swallowed his saliva. If he turned around and ran now, would Zhao Yushu be able to catch up with him?
"Don't hide yourself, come out if you dare!"
The fact that he didn't dare to come out showed that he was only good at assassination and had no ability to fight with me head on.
The general was frantically comforting himself, completely forgetting that Zhao Yushu had killed the famous giant ape head-on outside Nanyang City a few days ago.
The general was secretly delighted when he suddenly blinked and a corner of his clothes appeared in the alley.
Zhao Yushu walked out with an expressionless face, holding a black dagger.
Zhao Yushu really came and he wants to kill me!
It took the general several breaths to react, then he turned around and left. All his courage was completely shattered the moment Zhao Yushu appeared.
However, when he turned around, he saw someone he never expected.
"Bai Jintang?"
Boss Bai walked over with a smile: "Hey, do you know me? Have we met before?"
"How will you be here?"
"Yes, why am I here? Shouldn't I be recuperating in the inn? I can't have brought Zhao Yushu here just to kill you, Yinsi."
Bai Jintang walked step by step to the general with a smile on his face, and Zhao Yushu behind him also approached step by step.
The general felt as if a bolt of thunder had struck his forehead, and his entire mind went blank.
Then he shuddered and turned his head away in fear at the murderous intent behind him. When he turned his head again and wanted to run, he saw that the aura of Boss Bai, who was supposed to be a mortal, instantly turned into the fifth level of heaven. He saw the other party stretch out his hand, and he felt a pain in his abdomen. A long sword pierced straight into his dantian at a speed so fast that he could not react.
"you!"
The general wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"If you pierce this spot, you won't die for the time being, but your Snow Mountain Qi Sea should be pierced. By the way, I have something to ask you, you don't have to tell me, I have plenty of time, let's talk slowly."
Zhao Yushu hugged the weak general and turned into the alley like two good friends.
