Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1674 Battle for the Stone of Enlightenment (Collapse)

Seeing Zhang Han trying to escape, Zhurou and Zhanri tried to stop him immediately. However, another mechanism was also activated, and a dense array of powerful crossbow arrows was triggered, sending a shower of arrows towards the area.

Zhang Han had already calculated it correctly and just happened to drag the body of a snare killer on the ground to block his arrow.

Attribution and Covering the Sun had no shield, so they had no choice but to dodge and block. Unfortunately, they missed the best time to block, and watched helplessly as Zhang Han was dragged down the mountain stream.

The moment he slid down the mountain stream, Zhang Han used his last bit of strength to cut off the chains on his feet with his sword. He was not dragged down directly, but was thrown to the opposite mountain wall by the reaction force, and disappeared in the dense vegetation in an instant.

Shurou rushed to the edge of the cliff angrily, but he only had time to capture the last scene where Zhang Han's figure disappeared.

"Hmph! I want to see where you can run to!" Shurou cursed bitterly, and then waved his hand, and a large number of snare killers immediately jumped out and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain stream.

The Six Tombs of Emperor Yan are closed as a whole. Although the mountain stream below is quite spacious, it is still a semi-enclosed area after all.

Zhang Han can't survive without hanging on for a breath at most. The Shadow Guards have retreated, and they can't run very far without support!

Seeing the Luowang killer starting to search for Zhang Han, Luo Lu's mood calmed down a little. He turned to look at Zhenri, cupped his fists and saluted, with a very low attitude:

"This time, Zhang Han was trapped and killed. Thank you Lord Zhanri for your generous action."

Although they are all top-notch, there are differences between them.

The Six Sword Slaves are the strongest, but have the lowest status, because they have no other use than being able to fight, and they are pure tools.

Other heavenly characters of a slightly higher level, such as Quexie and Atelier, all have the right to act independently.

Zhanri is the person with the highest status in the network except Zhao Gao, the leader. He can almost be regarded as a deputy...but in essence, he is still a tool.

In addition, the true identity of the sun is also very special.

Of course, Mulu doesn't know who his true identity is.

Luo Wang's Tianzi is first-rate. Except for the pure tool man Six Sword Slave, whose identity is completely exposed, everyone else is covered up.
  Some are for mission needs, some are for their own safety, and the purposes are different.

The occultation of the sun is relatively more special.

In response to Zhu Lu's polite words, Zhan Ri replied in a hoarse voice what he had said before:

"The net only has tasks, not friendships."

"This is natural." Of course Zhu Lu knew this.

As a 'normal' killer like Six Sword Slave who has nothing but action in his mind, it is normal for him to make certain greetings and flattery to Zhenri.

It's not to build friendship, it's mainly to prevent the other person from looking down on you because of your attitude.

As a fellow member of the profession, Luo knows very well how twisted the killer's psychology can be. Who knows if Zhanri is a small-minded madman who is just prepared for any danger.

Zhanri then reminded, "Zhang Han is not dead yet, and your mission has not been completed yet!"

Shurou nodded to express his understanding, and then asked, "What about Mr. Zhenri next?"

Zhanri turned around and left, "This is your mission. My identity is expensive."

The implication is that he will not participate in the follow-up.

After hearing this, Zhurou watched Zhanri leave without any reaction.

The search is a trivial job, and the main force is the Snare Killer. It doesn't matter whether the Hidden Sun Gang helps or not.

………………

Daze Mountain, Four Seasons Town.

Outside the wooden house where the Zhu family and others were hiding, Ah Ci, who was slapped to the ground by Qu Shang, was not seriously injured as he expected. He was just a little embarrassed, patted his clothes and stood up unhappily.

Instead, Qu Shang, who had the upper hand just now, was half-kneeling on the ground, covering his heart with one hand and supporting the ground with the other. Blood fell to the ground bit by bit along his clothes and hands.

All of Qu Shang's exposed skin was covered with lacerations, and blood was seeping out from large or small wounds.

Looking at his clothes with many obvious signs of discoloration, it is not difficult to guess that the condition of his body covered by the clothes is probably similar.

Qu Shang's unexpected serious injury is puzzling, and what's even more puzzling is that the scars on his body are clearly not sword wounds - it wasn't Ah Ci who hurt him at all!
  Qu Shang was breathing heavily, as if he had to exert all his strength with every breath. As he breathed, blood foam continued to overflow from his mask, and a pair of eyes swept around him in disbelief.

Why...why...

Just now, he stirred up his true energy, stimulated his meridians, and unleashed his energy to the greatest extent, intending to kill Aci in one fell swoop. However, at the last moment of the explosion, his true energy suddenly exploded, further intensifying the stimulation intensity.

This is not a big problem for ordinary martial arts practitioners, but it is only a small problem for Qu Shang who often stimulates his physical potential - provided that he is in a normal state.

But just now, it was exactly not the case.

Qu Shang, who was in a state of extreme explosion, had only the weakest control and balance on his body. Further stimulation instantly made everything unbalanced.

All the tragedies he suffered were due to the violent imbalance of his own true energy...

Before he could figure out why his body was in an unexpected condition, Ah Ci took action again.

He was not a child who liked to talk about martial arts. Seeing that the opponent he had been unable to touch seemed to be unable to move, he stabbed him with a sword without hesitation.

"Uh!!!"

Amidst Qu Shang's suppressed cries of pain, the red Ganjiang sword pierced his chest directly.

Ah Ci sheathed his sword, and a large amount of blood spurted out. Qu Shang looked at the wooden house, and finally left two words in a weak voice:

"Be careful……"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground.

The top master of Shennongtang, Qu Shang, died just like that.

"How...how...how could this happen!"

In the house, Liu Ji witnessed the whole process from Qu Shang's accident to his death. He was completely stunned and kept repeating this sentence.

The Zhu family felt bad when they sensed that the aura belonging to Qu Shang disappeared outside. They rushed to the door, pushed Liu Ji away, opened their eyes and looked out, and immediately witnessed Qu Shang's death.

Unlike Liu Ji, he was very familiar with Qu Shang's martial arts characteristics and immediately analyzed what happened.

"Impossible... Qu Shang has not been forced into a desperate situation, how could he not be able to control his true energy!" Zhu Jia exclaimed.

At the same time, everything that happened today began to run through his mind quickly, looking for any possible reasons for Qu Shang's accident.

From the time they entered Four Seasons Town...the ambush...the fierce battle...the fire...the separation...the rendezvous...until now...

The Zhu family thought about it carefully, but found nothing suspicious.

The only possibility was the poison jar when he was attacked at the beginning, but he used his internal power to absorb all the poison gas immediately, which should not be enough to take effect - it only took one breath, how could the poison take effect so quickly? of!
  Moreover, they were all attacked at that time. If something happened to Qu Shang now, they should have some abnormal reactions!

The Zhu family, who was completely puzzled, glanced at Liu Ji and Situ Wanli unconsciously, and then quickly locked on a small wine bottle in Liu Ji's hand.

Before Qu Shang went out just now, Liu Ji took out this pot of fine wine that was originally meant to celebrate this year's good harvest, intending to celebrate Qu Shang's birthday.

Qu Shang was originally a teetotaler, but after Liu Ji's persuasion and the fact that his brothers were at the end of their rope, he made a rare exception and took a big drink before going out to fight. .

If something went wrong, the Zhu family could only think of the pot of wine that only he didn't drink - he couldn't drink it while wearing a mask. Although Qu Shang also wears a half-mask, he can just take it off. He wears a mask just out of habit, not because he cannot show his face.

Because he didn't drink, everything in the Zhu family is naturally normal now.

As for Situ Wanli and Liu Ji, who also drank but didn't respond... that doesn't mean much.

The Zhu family didn't know what kind of manipulation Qu Shang had done, but he knew very well that the balance in Qu Shang's body would be very fragile when he was working hard, and just a trivial accident would be enough to destroy it.

So he couldn't guarantee whether Liu Ji and Situ Wanli noticed the abnormality in their bodies... not to mention that he couldn't be sure whether they were loyal or not.

But the suspicion of alcohol is certain!

"It's the wine, there's something wrong with the wine!"

Liu Ji, who was still confused and panicked, became even more panicked when he heard this. He staggered back two steps and looked at the wine in his hand with wide eyes, "Brother... don't joke with me! "

"We all drank, it's okay!"

Situ Wanli stared at Liu Ji closely and immediately refuted, "We are all peasant disciples, immune to all poisons!"

This is actually a bit unreasonable.

It is true that peasant disciples are immune to all poisons, but this is closer to an exaggeration. Some poisons that are too strong can still cause harm. In addition, some special drugs can also be effective.

After all, some medicines are difficult to be simply defined as poisons.

To say that he was immune to all poisons, the same was true for Qu Shang. Didn't something happen to him anyway?

The Zhu family didn't pay much attention to Situ Wanli's words, but they still targeted Liu Ji first.

In any case, it was he who brought out the wine on his own initiative, and it was he who urged Qu Shang to have a drink with everyone.

The Zhu family now suspected that one of Situ Wanli and Liu Ji had betrayed them, but they did not think that both of them had betrayed them.

"Qu Shang's martial arts is special. When Gang Jin explodes with all his strength, almost no one can compete with him head-on. Even a master like Gui Gu Zongheng may not be able to suppress him."

"In this state, he is almost invincible to the outside world. His only weakness...is within his body!"

The Zhu family glanced over the two of them and said coldly.

There was another sentence he didn't say clearly.

This weakness can only be known to those who know enough about Qu Shang, and he is withdrawn and introverted. He usually lives in isolation, and there are few people close to him in Shennong Hall.

To be precise, basically only the three of them have a close relationship with Qu Shang!

Situ Wanli glanced at the wine bottle and accused him warily, "Could it be...that there is medicine in the wine?"

Liu Ji was upset when he heard this. He wanted to put the blame on me!

He couldn't bear this kind of injustice, and the friendship with Brother Situ disappeared all of a sudden. He raised his sword and pointed at the other person and cursed:

"What do you mean? You want to wrong me!"

Situ Wanli didn't care at all, approaching Liu Ji step by step, and asked at the same time:

"Liu Ji, did you say hello to others when you first entered Four Seasons Town? Who are they?"

Liu Ji opened his mouth, wanting to explain but not knowing how to say it.

He did say hello to others, but...those people were all disciples of Shennong Hall who seemed familiar to him!
  But now that everyone in Four Seasons Town has rebelled, even if he says that he doesn't know anything, it doesn't seem to be convincing.

It’s okay to say that he didn’t know he was innocent, it’s okay to say that he had planned it for a long time, it’s both true and false.

Situ Wanli struck while the iron was hot and continued to accuse, "It was you who took the initiative to bring out the wine just now, and it was you who tried your best to persuade Qu Shang to drink it!"

"I...I...I...I..." Liu Ji was speechless at the series of accusations, and kept walking backwards until he hit the wall.

He looked at Situ Wanli, who had an indignant look on his face and accused him, and then looked at the Zhu family, who had an "angry" face and eyes full of suspicion. The feeling of suffocation made him want to die.

The most terrible thing is that he has no idea how to defend himself, because what Situ Wanli said is true... but he really didn't harm anyone!

Liu Ji, unable to argue and extremely frustrated, looked at the sword in his hand, and with a strong temper and loyalty, he made a decision.

"For a brother who has been through life and death to doubt, I, Liu Ji, have really failed in my life!"

After saying this, he raised his sword and was about to kill himself by wiping his neck.

Upon seeing this, the Zhu family hurriedly intervened to stop him. Although he suspected Liu Ji, it had not been confirmed after all. In any case, he could not watch him commit suicide while he reluctantly committed suicide.

Situ Wanli seemed to be like the Zhu family, rushing to stop Liu Ji.

In the end, even though Situ Wanli used a finger to immobilize Liu Ji and prevent him from committing suicide, Situ Wanli showed a sinister smile, turned around and raised his hand to pat the Zhu family on the shoulder who was busy rescuing people and had no time to care about himself. superior.

The chubby Zhu Jia was immediately shot out and hit the wall hard. He coughed violently, and blood was faintly visible under the mask.

"It's you!"

In the Zhu family's disbelieving voice, Situ Wanli responded with a sinister smile and a series of deep and sinister smiles.

"Heh...heh...heh..."

………………

Daze Mountain, on the road leading to the Tomb of the Six Immortals of Emperor Yan.

Tian Mi looked at the burly man who suddenly entered with a confused expression, not knowing what was going on.

Who are you?

Dianqing had no intention of clearing up Tian Mi's doubts, so he went straight to the point and said, "Tian Mi, hand over the medicine!"

"Medicine? What medicine?"

The sudden request made Tian Mi even more confused. After thinking for a while, she roughly guessed that the ceremony was to save the girl.

Knowing the other party's purpose, Tian Mi immediately stopped panicking.

It turns out that he was taken advantage of like Yingbu, so that would be easy to handle.

It seems that this silly big guy is pretty good, just use it to consume Guigu Zongheng and serve as an appetizer.

"Haha..." Tian Mi smiled coquettishly, showing her usual charming look again, and said with a smile, "It turns out it's for that little girl."

"I have the medicine, but you asked them directly for it, which shocked them."

This is an implicit request, implying that the celebration should take the initiative to ask what they can do for you.

However, Dianqing is a person who refuses to engage in internal friction. He drew out the two heaven-suppressing swords with his backhand and said in a calm but murderous tone:

"Hand over the medicine or die!"

Tian Mi's smiling face couldn't help but freeze.
