Chapter 1390: Instant Kill of Zhao Ji, Close Contact with Ren Ruyi
Chapter 1392: Instant kill of Zhao Ji, close contact with Ren Ruyi
The next day, Zhou Chen did not go to Liudao Hall for duty, but stayed at home, quietly wiping his sword and waiting for the arrival of night.
As Zhou Chen drank the last glass of water in the kettle, it was already completely dark. He immediately changed into black clothes and put on the mask he had prepared long ago.
As for his destination, it was on his way to Ning's house.
Because he knew that after Zhang Xiang's threat to Zhao Ji yesterday, Zhao Ji, who was frightened in his heart, would definitely try his best to find Ning Yuanzhou. Then he would go to Ning's house to find Ning Yuanzhou just like in the plot, so he
On the way to Ningzhai, you can definitely wait for Zhao Ji.
The capital city was not peaceful at all tonight. A fire broke out in Qingshi Lane and burned down a large house. Liu Daotang Lou Qingqiang personally led people to 'investigate' the situation.
In fact, this arson case was directed and staged by Liu Daotang, because this house was the Wudu branch of Zhu Yiwei of Anguo, and was betrayed to Liu Daotang by Zhu Yiwei's traitors in exchange for three thousand gold.
But when Lou Qingqiang came to collect the corpses, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He was responsible for interrogating and executing the people here. He knew exactly how many corpses there were, how many male corpses and how many female corpses.
But when he checked the corpses, he found that there was one more male corpse and one missing female corpse. There was no doubt that someone had come and replaced the male corpse with a female corpse.
After all, it was an old man who had been working in Liudaotang for many years. He immediately realized the problem. There were still remnants of Zhu Yiwei's Wudu branch, so he immediately led people to search.
Ren Ruyi wanted to avoid Liu Daotang's pursuit, but because she was stabbed by Liu Daotang's people before in the branch and was poisoned, at the critical moment, she had to use Zhu Yiwei's secret antidote Wandujie.
Wandujie can cure all poisons, but the side effect is that in the next seven days, the internal energy will be lost.
As a top assassin, Ren Ruyi knows very well that once she loses her internal strength, she will lose most of her combat power. But now it is a critical moment of life and death, and she cannot help thinking so much. In this Wudu, if she doesn't save herself, no one will come.
Save her.
Zhou Chen, dressed in black, blended into the darkness, holding his breath, like a patient hunter hunting his prey.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps, and after a few breaths, he saw a group of people walking quickly towards this side.
Although his vision was restricted at night, Zhou Chen's eyesight was still good. In addition, the other party was rushing on the road unscrupulously, so Zhou Chen recognized their identities at a glance.
Zhao Ji led a team of troops and quickly passed through the vicinity of Qingshi Lane and headed towards Ning's house. He had received the news and judged that Ning Yuanzhou had not died on the Tianmen Pass battlefield and had returned to Wudu.
Nine times out of ten, he would hide it in his own home.
Zhang Xiang gave him seven days to find Ning Yuanzhou. He didn't dare to be careless. Zhang Xiang was ruthless. If he couldn't find Ning Yuanzhou by then, the other party would definitely kill him.
In order to save his own life, no matter how unhappy he was with Ning Yuanzhou, he had to find him first at this time.
With something on his mind, he met Lou Qingqiang and others who were searching for Ren Ruyi on the road, but they all just said "get lost" to deal with it.
They were about to arrive at Ning's house when a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the darkness and headed towards them at an extremely fast speed.
This figure was so fast, and it was dark, that it rushed in front of them, and only Zhao Ji and others could react.
"who?"
They were answered by a man in black who rushed into the sheep.
Zhou Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, took advantage of his surprise and directly exploded his inner strength, using whirling steps, rushing into the crowd like a swimming dragon.
Just as the two people at the back were about to draw their swords, they were slapped away by Zhou Chen. Then the sword light suddenly appeared. The other people only saw the sword light, and then there was a sharp pain in the hand holding the weapon, which made
They couldn't help but let go of their hands and dropped their sabers.
Zhao Ji also looked horrified when he saw that the ten men who were following him could not survive even one round under the sudden attack of the men in black.
The opponent's speed was too fast, his steps were extremely nimble, and his swordsmanship was so fast that he couldn't see clearly. He didn't know where the man in black came from, but now he had no time to think about it.
After the man in black defeated the others, the sword light pointed at him, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he instantly pulled out his saber.
Before taking action, he shouted: "Who are you, sir, and why do you want to be an enemy of our Six Paths Hall?"
But Zhou Chen didn't talk nonsense to him at all. He came to him in a few steps and stabbed Zhao Ji straight into the chest with the long sword in his hand.
Zhao Ji was furious and hurriedly slashed with his knife. Seeing Zhou Chen's power, he used all his strength with this knife.
"clang!"
The swords collided, and Zhao Ji changed the direction of the sword, but Zhou Chen quickly changed his moves at the next moment.
"Wandering dragon treads the snow!"
Xiangyi Taijian, combined with Yangzhou Man's internal strength, coupled with whirling steps, swordsmanship, internal strength, and footwork, these three martial arts are all top-notch. Except for the internal strength that has not reached its peak, the rest of the swordsmanship and footwork are inferior to Zhou's.
Chendu has reached the pinnacle of success.
This sword was a sure kill, blocking all Zhao Ji's escape routes, and it was so fast that Zhao Ji could not resist.
Zhao Jineng was the leader of the Six Paths Hall, so his force value would naturally be good. Unfortunately, he encountered Zhou Chen, who was violently murderous. With the cooperation of the three great skills, even if he was prepared in advance, but in the face-to-face confrontation,
, still did not block Zhou Chen's sure-kill move.
The last scene Zhao Ji saw in this world was the sword light slicing across his throat.
After killing Zhao Ji, Zhou Chen didn't stop at all, jumped up, performed Qing Gong, and quickly disappeared into the night.
It wasn't until Zhou Chen disappeared that the remaining members of the Six Paths Hall saw that Zhao Ji had fallen to the ground, with blood spraying around his neck.
"My lord, he was killed."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. From just now until now, it only lasted a few breaths. It was so fast that they were overwhelmed. Then Zhao Ji died. He was even younger than a little guy.
Here we go.
What they couldn't accept the most was that they didn't even know who the other party was. This killer who suddenly rushed out was really ruthless.
Zhou Chen had already made arrangements for his next actions, so after killing Zhao Ji, he immediately sneaked into Ning Zhai's mourning hall.
His internal strength was not yet fully developed, but his lightness skills had reached its peak. He sneaked into Ning's house without being discovered by anyone, including Yuan Lu, who was helping Ning Yuanzhou look after the house.
There were two coffins placed in the mourning hall. When he saw Ning Yuanzhou's coffin, Zhou Chen showed a smile. The chance for a hero to save a beauty has come.
Ren Ruyi held her breath, not daring to make a sound, and hid quietly in the coffin.
She killed the members of the Humanity Club of Liu Daotang today. She was poisoned and had to take Wan Du Jie. Now her internal strength has been lost. People from Liu Daotang are chasing after her outside. She has no choice but to hide in this house.
.
When she discovered that there were two coffins here, she suddenly had an idea and hid in one of the empty coffins and waited patiently.
Suddenly, the coffin lid above her head was pushed open, but before she could make a move, a man in black got into the coffin and covered her mouth.
The next moment, a man's voice came.
"Don't make a sound."
But Ren Ruyi is not someone who can be manipulated by others. The internal space is not very large, so when two people came in, they were naturally crowded together.
A hairpin appeared in Ren Ruyi's hand and she pierced it towards Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen grabbed her wrist and with a little force, Ren Ruyi's face showed pain.
"Don't move, I won't harm you, Zhu Yiwei's White Bird, there are people from Liudaotang outside."
Ren Ruyi's pupils shrank. If she had not lost her inner strength, she would not be afraid of being discovered. But now that she has lost all her inner strength, she feels very uneasy when her identity is discovered by this man in black who does not know his origin.
She had to relax her tense body, as if she agreed with Zhou Chen's words.
The lid of the coffin was closed, and the inside of the coffin was dark. Because the space was relatively small, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi were almost close to each other, and each could smell the other's scent.
Ren Ruyi was very uncomfortable with it. Although she concealed her identity and became Zhu Yiwei's White Bird, this was her first time in Wudu. In order to complete her mission, she had contacted many people and killed many people.
.
But I have never been so close to a man, and I am still lying in a coffin.
But she was not an ordinary person. After she found out that she couldn't do anything to Zhou Chen, she was already thinking about her own way to escape.
Who is this strange man in black? How did he know her identity? How did he know that she was hiding in this coffin? Was it a coincidence or intentional? What was his purpose in doing this?
While she was thinking, she suddenly felt someone watching her. She turned her head slightly and saw the man leaning against her, staring at her. In the darkness, those eyes were particularly conspicuous, which made her very uncomfortable.
,Very uncomfortable.
Compared with Ren Ruyi's uneasiness and dissatisfaction, Zhou Chen was much more satisfied. He had finished what he wanted to do, and the next step was to complete the task. Now he could lie in a coffin with Ren Ruyi, so close to each other.
, is also a different kind of enjoyment.
With such close contact, he could clearly smell her fragrance, sweat, and blood. At the same time, he also felt the tightness of Ren Ruyi's body. He tried his best to avoid contact with him, but the space here was so small.
, simply cannot be avoided.
Neither of them made a sound, and there was silence in the coffin. They could even hear each other's heartbeats, making the atmosphere a bit charming.
Ren Ruyi tried hard not to think too much and suppressed his murderous intention, but he was determined in his heart that when he recovered, he would not be able to get around this man in black.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly, there was a noise outside the house.
Lou Qingqiang led a group of people to the gate of Ningzhai. Originally, he was leading people to hunt down the remnants of Zhu Yiwei. He never expected that Zhao Ji, who was going to Ningzhai, was assassinated under the protection of many men.
But he was not as brave as Zhao Ji, who dared to rush straight into Ning's house. After being intercepted by Yuan Lu at the door, he hesitated for a moment, and finally did not break into Ning's house.
Although he is Zhao Ji's subordinate, Zhang Xiang is threatening Zhao Ji, not him. Whether he can find Ning Yuanzhou or not has nothing to do with him for the time being. Regardless of whether Ning Yuanzhou is really alive or even hiding in Ning.
He was not prepared to force his way in.
Of course, there is another more important reason, and that is Zhao Ji's death.
Zhao Ji was not weak in martial arts, and he had ten good fighters around him. He did not kill anyone else, but only Zhao Ji, and he killed him in such a short time. He had to suspect that it was Ning Yuanzhou's mastermind.
Because in his impression, apart from Ning Yuanzhou, he couldn't think of anyone else in Wudu who could have this kind of skill.
It was related to his own life and safety, so he had to be cautious, so he led his people to retreat from Ning's house.
When Yuan Lu saw Lou Qingqiang leading the people to retreat, he clapped his hands very proudly, thinking that it was his own strength that scared off Lou Qingqiang and others, and walked to the mourning hall with great satisfaction.
In the mourning hall, the old hall master’s coffin was erected by Ning Yuanzhou, and Ning Yuanzhou’s coffin was erected by him.
Ning Yuanzhou followed the army to Tianmen Pass, but he has not come back yet, and there is no news, so he thought that Ning Yuanzhou died on the battlefield, so he prepared a coffin for him, while he himself stayed at Ning's house to guard Ning Yuanzhou.
Head's home.
The closer he got to the mourning hall, the more uncomfortable he felt. For him, Ning Yuanzhou was not only his boss, but also his eldest brother and his only relative.
Now that Ning Tou'er is gone, and he has a heart problem, he doesn't know when he will die. He hopes that he can die here, with the old hall master and Ning Tou'er.
But the moment he stepped into the mourning hall, he saw someone suddenly appeared inside. That familiar figure made his hair stand on end.
"Who are you?"
"How long have you not seen me before you don't recognize me?"
The man slowly turned around and looked at Yuanlu with a smile. Yuanlu's pupils widened and his face was full of disbelief.
"Ning, Ning, boss? You, you are not on the front line, why are you back? You are not dead..."
When Ning Yuanzhou saw Yuan Lu crying with joy, he smiled slightly and waved to him. Yuan Lu immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"Of course I'm not dead. I just ran back secretly."
"That's great, boss. It's great that you're okay. When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
"They say I came back secretly, so I have to be careful not to expose my whereabouts at will."
"Then why did you come out on your own now?"
"It's because Zhao Ji was killed."
He knew this from the people from Liudaotang who had just arrived. Zhao Ji brought people to find him, but was ambushed and killed on the way, which made him feel very strange.
"Zhao Ji is dead?"
Yuan Lu looked shocked. He had been staying in Wudu and heard a lot about what Zhao Ji had done. He was very disdainful of Zhao Ji. However, Zhao Ji was also the leader of the Six Paths Hall. Two days ago, he heard that Zhao Ji had done something
After something bad happened, why did he die suddenly?
Ning Yuanzhou said: "I have decided to go into seclusion and no longer care about these things, but before that, I still have something to do."
As he said this, he winked at Yuan Lu, and then walked to the coffin prepared for him.
When Yuan Lu saw his action, he immediately put his hand into his bag, ready to release the hidden weapon at any time, and nodded slightly to Ning Yuanzhou.
Ning Yuanzhou mobilized his internal energy and suddenly slapped the coffin with his palm. The strong internal force blew the entire coffin into pieces.
I saw two figures in the torn coffin rising into the air, quickly moving in the air, stepping on the beams and pillars, and then landed lightly on the ground.
Yuanlu's hidden weapon was already in hand and aimed at the two figures who suddenly appeared.
"Yuanlu, don't do anything."
Ning Yuanzhou stopped Yuan Lu, who was about to throw away the hidden weapon, and looked at Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi who came out of the coffin with a slight frown.
"Zhou Chen? What's going on with you?"
Dressed in black, he was holding a woman in his arms, who came out of his coffin. Even with Ning Yuanzhou's brain, he didn't understand what was going on.
After Yuan Lu saw Zhou Chen's appearance clearly, he was also stunned: "Brother Zhou, you, why are you in the boss's coffin? And this sister, what's going on with you?"
Just as Zhou Chen was about to speak, Ren Ruyi, who was in his arms, opened his arms forcefully, took a few steps away from him, and looked around cautiously.
Zhou Chen didn't care, he just looked at Ning Yuanzhou with a smile.
"Long time no see, Ning Tou."
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and I didn't expect that we would meet again on such an occasion."
Ning Yuanzhou's expression was incomprehensible. For some reason, he looked at the familiar Zhou Chen in front of him, but he felt a little strange. Zhou Chen seemed to be a little different from before.
Also, why did he take a woman and hide it in his mansion and in his coffin.
"Is Zhao Ji's death related to you, Zhou Chen?"
Zhou Chen praised: "As expected of Hall Master Ning, I guessed it right. Zhao Ji was indeed killed by me. He got the news and knew that you were not dead, and wanted to come here to force you to show up, so I intercepted and killed him halfway.
You should thank me for keeping the news that you are still alive.
