Chapter 185 The Man Behind the Scenes
Chapter 185 The Man Behind the Scenes
Jiuer nimbly jumped onto Xiao Zhixue's shoulder and began to report in a chattering voice: "There was a man and a woman who met with misfortune. I think the man looks like the head of the Chen family. Mrs. Chen hugged him and cried bitterly. Jin Chengfeng was also at the scene, and a group of people gathered around to watch the excitement. I was worried about getting into trouble, so I hurried to find you."
As Xiao Zhixue listened to Jiuer's description, her interest grew, and her curiosity to witness it with her own eyes grew stronger.
"Jiu'er, lead the way, we'll go take a look."
Jiuer flapped her wings and flew away obediently, leading them forward.
Xiao Zhixue and her group of five followed closely behind, and soon arrived at the place where Xiao You had stolen the beauty.
The place was surrounded by a crowd of people, each holding a sharp knife, vigilantly guarding every inch of land outside the house.
Jin Chengfeng stood in front of the door, his eyes as cold as ice, looking around coldly.
I originally thought that it was Xiao Zhixue who broke into the main hall at night to save people, and that the shrill scream came from her mouth.
However, when they arrived, what they saw were the corpses of an adulterous couple in the house, and the woman brought by Dingxiang, who was hugging her dead husband and crying bitterly.
Jin Chengfeng never liked seeing women crying, so he turned around and left without staying for long.
Inside the room, He Yong, the head of Xuan Yu Tang, stared at the woman lying in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open, the long knife in his hand still dripping with blood.
Jin Chengfeng's voice was cold and firm: "It's okay, everyone go back and guard. If anyone breaks into the hall tonight, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, Elder Wen!"
Everyone responded and wanted to leave, but Jin Chengfeng added: "Remember, leave a woman alive."
Although everyone didn't understand what he meant, they didn't dare to ask more questions. Just as they were about to leave, Jin Chengfeng's gaze suddenly turned to where Xiao Zhixue was.
A playful smile quickly spread across his face, as if he had caught some interesting prey.
"Everyone come back here, no one is allowed to leave!"
Jin Chengfeng's order left everyone in Xuan Yutang confused for a moment. Didn't they just ask them to retreat? Why were they called back again?
Although full of doubts, everyone obeyed the order and turned back.
Jin Chengfeng's eyes were fixed on Xiao Zhixue's face, and the smile on his lips became deeper.
"Xiao Zhixue, you brought yourself to my door."
Jin Chengfeng's words were like a bolt from the blue, making everyone in Xuan Yu Hall immediately alert. They searched everywhere, trying to find Xiao Zhixue's trace.
Jin Chengfeng once reminded that Xiao Zhixue, as a woman, was easy to identify, but in everyone's wide-eyed eyes, the Xiao Zhixue mentioned by Jin Chengfeng seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.
Just when everyone was confused, Jin Chengfeng was already walking towards one direction with big strides, with a clear goal in mind, as if he had it all planned out.
Everyone in Xuan Yu Hall consciously made way, as if the waves were automatically clearing a path for the ship.
The moment Xiao Zhixue's eyes met Jin Chengfeng's, she had a bad feeling.
Although she had disguised herself as a man, she still could not hide from Jin Chengfeng's sharp eyes.
This person is obviously not an ordinary person.
At this moment, her hands were hidden in her wide sleeves, and her palms were tightly holding a bottle of top-grade sulfuric acid. This was her last trump card. Once Jin Chengfeng made any rash moves, that would be the moment for him to be baptized by "fire".
Jin Chengfeng stopped not far from Xiao Zhixue. With a glance, he saw the figures of Fan Yanmu and others.
He was not surprised that Xiang Wen failed to get rid of Fan Yanmu easily.
For him, this reunion at this moment was just part of the plan.
"You came just in time, saving me the trouble of taking action one by one."
There was a calm dignity in Jin Chengfeng's words, as if everything was under his control.
Jin Chengfeng waved his sleeves lightly, his gesture carrying unquestionable majesty. Although his voice was soft, it exploded in the air like thunder: "Deal with all five of them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Xuan Yu Hall seemed like awakened hounds, with bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes. They finally understood that Xiao Zhixue was not the only target tonight.
All kinds of weapons gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and the crowd was like a group of hungry wolves, pouncing on Xiao Zhixue and her group with unstoppable momentum.
There was a gleam of sharpness in Xiao Zhixue's eyes, and her body seemed to blend into the wind. Her reaction was so fast that it was astonishing.
She kicked an approaching enemy away with great precision, and the man flew out like a kite with a broken string. Then she flashed like a flash of lightning and rushed straight towards Jin Chengfeng at such a fast speed that it was hard to keep up.
Facing this sudden attack, Jin Chengfeng still had a calm smile on his face, and the folding fan in his hand was gently swaying, as if everything was within his calculations. His confidence and indifference made people feel cold.
However, Xiao Zhixue's attack was like a violent storm. None of the Xuanyu Hall disciples who stood in front of her could escape her punches and kicks. They were all blown away like fallen leaves caught in a storm. What's worse, other people were affected by the fierce battle. The whole scene suddenly fell into chaos and noise.
Xiao Zhixue was agile and approached Jin Chengfeng in the blink of an eye. There was no hesitation in her eyes. She tilted the bottle of sulfuric acid in her hand suddenly, and the green venom rushed towards Jin Chengfeng's face like a river of death.
Seeing this, Jin Chengfeng hurriedly used his folding fan to block it. However, the poison contained in the seemingly fragile glass bottle was far more powerful than he had imagined.
The folding fan melted as soon as it came into contact with the poison, and that calm smile froze at this moment. He realized that he had obviously underestimated Xiao Zhixue's strength and determination.
Jin Chengfeng quickly retreated, creating a safe distance between himself and Xiao Zhixue. At the same time, the people from Xuan Yutang once again became a barrier to block Xiao Zhixue's progress.
Although the sulfuric acid failed to hurt him at all, it seemed to ignite the anger in Xiao Zhixue's heart. Her eyes became more determined, and she drew a long sword from her space ring. The sword light was like a dragon, and she launched a fierce counterattack against the people from Xuan Yu Hall who were besieging her.
She secretly decided in her heart that those precious poisons would be saved for use in a one-on-one duel with Jin Chengfeng, so that he could experience the extreme pain of the poison penetrating into his bones.
Just as the battle was entering a white-hot stage, Xuanyu Hall Master He Yong stepped into the battlefield. Jin Chengfeng's voice was as cold as ice: "Master, what are you doing standing there? Take them down quickly!"
He Yong moved as soon as he heard the sound, pointing his knife directly at Fan Yanmu. This sudden change made Xiao Zhixue frown and feel full of doubts.
Why would the head of Xuanyu Hall obey Jin Chengfeng's orders? Could it be that He Yong was just a puppet being manipulated, and the real master behind the scenes was actually Jin Chengfeng?
He Yong took the lead, his sword flashing like lightning, and rushed straight towards Xiao Zhixue.
Xiao Zhixue's swordsmanship was agile and the sound of weapons clashing between the two sides was endless. Although He Yong was a man with great strength, he seemed a little struggling in front of Xiao Zhixue's calf-like strength.
Xiao Zhixue gradually gained the upper hand and was about to pin He Yong to the ground.
