The night was dark.
On the rugged mountain road, a figure moved forward quickly.
Luo An Ning had originally wanted to return to Wuling City a long time ago, but the supply point in the mountains was attacked, so she had to stay for a few more days and help defend the supply point for a few days.
She didn’t start her return journey until the trouble was completely resolved.
This time I have been training outside the city for such a long time. Although it is very hard, I have also gained a lot.
After breaking through to the blood exchange realm, as long as you return to the city, you can go to the Taipingsi Yamen to take the test, and then you will be eligible to embroider the word “Taiping” on your uniform.
Just a black line though.
But sooner or later you will be able to use silver thread or even gold thread.
Moreover, I can hear Su Mu calling me Senior Sister.
Thinking of this, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she felt even more eager to return to the city.
Traveling at night, especially outside the city, is actually very dangerous.
However, with Luo An Ning’s strength, he is naturally not afraid of any danger.
In her urgent mood, she was unwilling to wait until dawn and wanted to return to the city as early as possible.
suddenly.
Luo Anning paused and stopped. She moved her eyes slightly and looked forward.
“Who? Come out!”
Luo An Ning placed one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and shouted coldly towards the front.
Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.
Swish!
A sword light flew out from the darkness and pierced Luo An Ning silently.
Luo An Ning’s expression became serious, and the long sword at his waist was unsheathed, instantly transforming into a long river of clear blue waves.
As the sword flashed, the sound of metal clashing could be heard in the air.
The two sides were separated at the first touch.
Luo An Ning took a step back and looked ahead with a serious expression.
I saw a figure covered in a black robe and wearing a black mask falling to the ground silently.
The opponent said nothing. The moment he landed, he exerted force with his feet and stabbed again with the ink-black sword in his hand.
“Golden Wind Tower!”
Luo An Ning’s mind was working, and his hands were moving at no slow pace. With the sword flashing, he rushed forward.
…………
“My Lord, I have found out about the dragon blood!”
Shen Yizi rushed into the Dongchengsi Yamen with an excited look on his face.
“Oh?”
Su Mu put down the file in his hand and looked up.
“where?”
“More than 20 years ago, several drops of dragon blood flowed into Wuling City. I checked and found out that the blood eventually fell into the hands of He Gongxiu.”
Shen Yizi lowered his voice and said.
“He Gongxiu? The current head of the He family?”
Su Mu showed a suspicious look on his face, looking at Shen Yizhi and said, “Shen Yizhi, you don’t want to use me to continue to deal with the He family, do you?”
“Your Majesty, please be clear!”
Shen Yizhi knelt on the ground with a plop, “Although I, Shen Yizhi, hate the He family, but you have avenged my son’s murder for me, even if I have no conscience, I can’t do such an ungrateful thing.
I admit that if I had the chance, I would also like to stab the He family.
But the dragon blood thing is absolutely true!”
Although Dongchengsi did not publicly announce that the bandits were the He family in disguise when the goods were lost last time, Shen Yizi knew about it.
“Get up, I believe you.”
Su Mu raised his hand and said, “It’s a bit troublesome in the hands of the He family.”
If it was in the hands of the other four major families, whether it was the Luo family or the Wang family, he would still have some connections with them.
Although they had never dealt with the Xie family before, they had no grudges against each other. If they paid more money, they might be able to buy the dragon blood.
Only the He family.
He and the He family had almost fallen out, but they did not engage in a fight in the city because they were concerned about the laws of Wuling City.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for him to get the dragon blood from the He family.
“Sir, there are ways to get the dragon blood from the He family.”
Shen Yizhi suddenly whispered.
“Do you have any idea?”
Su Mu looked at Shen Yizi.
He never underestimated these businessmen.
Their martial arts skills are not good, but when it comes to political strategies and tactics, most warriors are not as good as them.
A profiteer is a profiteer, and there is no business without profiteers.
“These days, I have had people keep an eye on the He family, and I found something very interesting.”
Shen Yizi glanced around furtively and spoke in a low voice.
Su Mu looked at him meaningfully, so he was said to be a profiteer and a vengeful person, even keeping people keeping an eye on the He family.
If I ever come into conflict with such a person, I will kill him/her completely.
Otherwise, you don’t have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about
Although Shen Yizi cannot be compared with the He family in the inner city, but if he is targeted by him, you never know when he will be bitten.
Sometimes small people can accomplish great things.
“What’s interesting?”
Su Mu asked curiously.
“Just yesterday, my people saw the housekeeper of the He Mansion secretly contacting people from the Golden Wind Tower.”
After Shen Yizhi consulted Su Mu, he closed all the doors and windows of the room, then returned to Su Mu and whispered, “Sir, do you think that with the power of the He family, if you want to kill someone, you need to go to Jinfeng Tower?
If it was an ordinary person, the He family could easily kill him themselves, and there would be no need to ask someone from Jinfeng Tower to take action.
They would go to Jinfeng Tower either because the person they wanted to kill was too strong and the He family could not kill him, or because the person they wanted to kill had a special identity and it was inconvenient for the He family to take action.
No matter which one it is, the person the He family wants to kill must not be an ordinary person.
The He family definitely doesn’t want this to be known to others!”
“You mean, use this incident to threaten the He family and force them to hand over the dragon blood?”
Su Mu pondered.
“Yes!”
Shen Yizhi said, “If you trust me, let me handle this matter. I promise to help you get the dragon blood!”
A hint of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes. Ever since his son was killed by the He family, he swore that he would be at odds with the He family for the rest of his life. Any chance he got, as long as it could cause losses to the He family, he would do it!
“Are you sure?”
Su Mu said in a deep voice.
“have–“
Shen Yizi just opened his mouth.
suddenly.
Su Mu’s eyes gleamed with brilliance.
At this moment, with a click, the window shattered into pieces, and a cold light shot towards Su Mu.
In a flash, Su Mu threw Shen Yizi away with one hand, and the Thunder Blade jumped into his hand and chopped it out.
The room suddenly lit up.
The sword light was like the sun rising into the sky.
Click!
The Thunder Blade struck the cold light with incredible accuracy.
The boundless and immense force instantly shattered the cold light.
The half-broken dagger fell to the ground with a clang. The blade light reflected a pair of eyes full of astonishment.
boom!
A deafening explosion was heard, and the figure that had just flown in from the window flew backwards at a faster speed than when it came in, and hit the ground in the yard with a bang.
Spider-web-like cracks were created on the bluestone floor.
When the man was about to get up, Su Mu’s body shook, and the Thunder Blade had already landed on his neck. The cold blade gave him goose bumps on his neck.
There was a flash of fear in the man’s eyes, mixed with a hint of anger.
Is this the Body Tempering Realm?
Well, it is indeed the Body Tempering Realm!
But he is at the ultimate stage of body tempering!
Damn the He family, how can such a person be considered a bonus?
For just 20,000 taels of silver, you want us at Jinfeng Tower to kill such a person?
For a person like this, the starting price is at least 500,000 taels, and we have to hire a Blood Realm Killer!
He looked at Su Mu and couldn’t help swallowing.
He knew in his heart that if Su Mu had not temporarily changed the blade, that one blow would have cut him in half.
Now if Su Mu wanted to kill him, it would only be a piece of cake.
Since the other party did not kill you, it means that he still feels that he is valuable.
“I have a piece of information that can buy my life!”
With thoughts racing, the killer spoke without hesitation.
“explain.”
Su Mu said coldly.
“The dragon blood you want is no longer in the He family. The He family asked us at the Golden Wind Tower to help them in exchange for the dragon blood.”
Feeling the sharp edge on his neck, the killer spoke quickly.
Shen Yizhi, still in shock, leaned over and asked, “Don’t you guys at Jinfeng Tower never betray information about your employer?”
“We at Jinfeng Tower only follow the rules with those who follow the rules. It was the He family who broke the rules first and tricked us into making a move with a low price. Naturally, there is no need for us to keep a secret for them!”
The killer said confidently.
Su Mu curled his lips in his heart. Doesn’t this mean that the final right of interpretation lies with me? It is indeed a bit difficult for them to expect a group of killers to have integrity.
“So, the dragon blood is in your hands now?”
Su Mu said in a deep voice.
“No.”
The killer said, “You are not the main target, you are just an extra.
The main target that the He family wants to kill is the eldest daughter of the Luo family. The building has sent a blood exchange realm expert to assassinate her, and the dragon blood is in his hands.
He has already left the city to kill the eldest daughter of the Luo family.
I will be responsible for killing you, and the only profit I will get is 20,000 taels of silver as a bonus.”
“The eldest lady of the Luo family?”
Su Mu frowned slightly, Luo An Ning?
Is the He family crazy? Why would they assassinate Luo Anning for no reason?
Also, why am I just a superfluous part?
Do you look down on me so much?
“Since I have failed, unless the He family pays more money, Jinfenglou will not attack you again. Is this information enough to buy my life?”
The killer said.
Poof…
His eyes widened suddenly, he held his neck with both hands, and blood flowed through his fingers.
His eyes were full of disbelief, and he stared at Su Mu, as if wanting to ask why.
“This is the East City Office. Since you are a killer and you are here, do you still want to leave alive?”
Su Mu said lightly.
Pfft!
The killer fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and then there was no news of him anymore.
“Keep an eye on his body. I’m going to go out for a while.”
Su Mu said to Shen Yizi, and his figure flashed and disappeared in the yard.
Dragon blood, Luo An Ning.
…………
Clang!
Luo An Ning fell down seven or eight feet, and after landing he staggered back two steps, his face slightly pale.
Compared to her miserable appearance, the killer holding the black sword was undoubtedly in much better condition.
Luo An Ning was also in the blood exchange stage, but he had just broken through a few days ago and had only exchanged less than 10% of his blood.
The killer holding the black sword has been immersed in the blood exchange state for several years, and more than 20% of the blood in his body has been replaced.
Moreover, he has rich combat experience. If Luo An Ning had not mastered two kinds of power, he would have died under his sword long ago.
Even so, it was only a matter of time before Luo An Ning died.
Luo Anning herself was well aware of this, but there was no panic or fear on her face.
She just wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth calmly, then raised the sword in her hand seriously, “Come again!”
“You are courting death if you overestimate your own abilities!”
The killer holding the black sword couldn’t help feeling angry when he saw that Luo An Ning actually used him as a sword practice object, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Facing his assassination, he didn’t feel any fear. Doesn’t this underestimate his professional ability?
Tolerable or unbearable!
In anger, he decided to use all his strength to let this little girl know what reverence is!
His figure flashed, as fast as a ghost, and he appeared on Luo An Ning’s left side with a whoosh and stabbed with a sword.
After one sword strike, he appeared behind Luo An Ning with a “whoosh”.
In an instant, his figure could be seen everywhere in all directions, and swords were thrust out at the same time, making it impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
Luo An Ning calmly drew his sword, the sword light was like stars, protecting his body from any leaks.
Even the killer couldn’t help but secretly praise him in his heart, saying that he was worthy of being the number one talent of the younger generation in Wuling City.
This sword move was perfect, and it felt like I was not far from comprehending the artistic conception.
Unfortunately, I met Zheng Jiu.
After a 20% blood transfusion, the amount of real blood in his body is more than twice that of Luo An Ning, and the superior blood transfusion method he practiced has six times the effect. This is an absolute power gap!
puff!
puff!
There were two slight sounds, and two blood flowers appeared on Luo An Ning’s body.
If she hadn’t dodged in time, her throat would have been cut by the sword.
Even so, there was a scar on her collarbone, which almost cut off the collarbone.
Because of her collarbone injury, she felt that her arm movements were two points slower.
After resisting a few more attacks with difficulty, another wound appeared on his body.
Luo An Ning sighed in his heart, thinking that his strength was still not enough and he could not solve the current predicament by himself.
So, ask for help.
While Luo An Ning was waving her sword, she reached to her waist with her other hand and grabbed the white waist badge of the Taiping Division that belonged to her.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came to her ears.
“Got you!”
Immediately afterwards, a figure swooped down from the air.
The moment he heard the voice, Luo An Ning stepped back without hesitation and passed by the figure that suddenly appeared.
The killer also heard the sound, but he did not change his strategy. He thrust his sword straight forward, intending to take Luo An Ning’s life first, and then deal with the newcomer.
Just as he was about to stab at Luo An Ning, Luo An Ning had already stepped back decisively, and the man who was coming had instantly blocked in front of Luo An Ning.
A hint of cruelty flashed in the killer’s eyes. He increased his strength and was about to stab the two people opposite him with his sword.
Since you want to die, I will kill you.
Kill you, for free.
It’s too late, but it’s soon.
Amid the crisp sound of the long sword being unsheathed, a ray of bright white light suddenly appeared.
There was a bang.
The blade struck the tip of the black sword with incredible accuracy.
The killer’s expression changed instantly.
Before he could react, an unparalleled violent force surged from the sword, cracking his palms. He could not hold the black sword anymore and it flew out of his hand.
However, that enormous force still made him step back several steps.
