Chapter 165: Destroying the Branch

Chapter 165: Destroying the Branch
Zhou Fuan raised his head and looked at the man opposite him. Although there was still worry in his eyes, there was no fear.

The contact person's identity is very special. Although the person sitting opposite him is the leader of the branch, in a certain sense, the status of the two is not much different.

The functions of the sub-helms of Niejingtai are similar, and their core responsibilities are to transmit information, detect targets, and coordinate contacts.

In addition, some branches may also be responsible for training killers.

But in general, there is often communication and coordination between the contact person and the branch leader, and there is no subordinate relationship.

Because some contacts will not stick to one place like Zhou Fuan.

Like the white chess pieces, they move in all directions.

No matter where you go, you can communicate with the branch leader on an equal footing.

Although Zhou Fuan’s three generations have been in Dingxing City, since he is a liaison, there is no distinction between him and the current branch leader.

Therefore, he listened to the obvious disbelief of the branch leader and just nodded heavily:

"It's not a joke, it's the truth..."

"Farewell Sword, Flowing Rain Needle, Sky Breaking Palm!

“These three are all first-rate assassins who usually work alone. The reason why they joined forces this time was to have them go to Guishen Gorge and assassinate Tie Lingyun.

"The Sword Ghost incident was just a side job, but these three ended up getting caught in Dingxing City?"

The helmsman of the branch office almost laughed in anger:

"Could this 'Sword Ghost' be a disciple of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? And become a legend in the martial arts world?
"Otherwise, how could there be such a great ability?"

"Don't talk to me..."

Zhou Fu just felt a headache:

“I am not responsible for the assassination of those on the evil-killing list.

"This master's actions didn't even allow me to watch closely...

“After the three of them arrived, they just said hello to me, got the target’s portrait, and went straight to kill people.

"They left in a rage, but no one turned back. If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I'm afraid we would have died in Dingxing City by now.

“How could I know the details?

“I wanted to check the bodies, but Liu Yu came and destroyed them. How would I know what happened?

"And now is not the time to talk about this... I have just passed the whole story and my guess to the Southern Region Headquarters via a red-feathered carrier pigeon.

“Since you said that those three came for Guishen Gorge Tie Lingyun, now that they are dead, the assassination cannot be neglected.

"The key is for you to write a letter as soon as possible and ask the Southern Region Headquarters to gather experts to go to Ghost God Gorge."

The leader of the branch opposite said with a dark face:
“In the past two days, I haven’t received any feedback from you in Dingxing City.

“I already know that there are changes in Dingxing City...I have already sent out the letter.

“Forget it. You have actually sent the message through the red-feathered carrier pigeon. There is no need to worry too much about this matter.

"My Nie Jingtai has existed for so long, how can it be shaken by just one or two masters?"

Zhou Fuan sighed. He didn't know why, but after sending the letter, his already uneasy heart became even more uneasy.

I always feel like something bad is happening, but I don't know what it is.

Just as he was about to speak and wanted to remind the leader of the branch opposite him that he needed to be careful in his recent actions, a figure suddenly appeared outside the window.

The visitor spoke softly:
"The enemy is here, and they are unstoppable!"

As a killer, he always seems to be concise.

However, these eight words made the leader of the branch frown slightly, while Zhou Fuan suddenly looked up with surprise in his eyes.

"Followed you?"

The branch helmsman asked.

Zhou Fuan shook his head:
"I don't know... Logically, I can't."

He had been extremely careful along the way, and it could even be said that he had used all his skills.

The reason Zhou Fuan was able to become a contact person was that he possessed extremely strong tracking and anti-tracking abilities. He erased all traces and deliberately created confusion several times.

There is absolutely no normal person who can follow me all the way here.

Unless the other party really has supernatural powers.

The branch leader also believed in Zhou Fuan's ability and nodded slightly, saying:
"Where has the visitor arrived?"

“When I came, I was still at the entrance of the village.

“Now, I’m afraid the battle has reached the village square.

"This person's martial arts skills are extremely high."

The visitor explained the situation as best as possible and waited for the helmsman's instructions.

After the branch leader pondered for a moment, he said:
"Gather people to stop them, set up the [Seventy-two Yin Wind Formation], and make sure to kill the person who comes!"

After saying this, he stood up.

Since the branch was attacked, he, as the leader, naturally had to go and meet them.

But before that he had to do one more thing.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the assassin outside took the order and left. Zhou Fuan followed behind the leader of the branch:

"What are you going to do?"

"Destroy the contents of the 'General Building'.

"This man was praised as having 'extremely high martial arts skills'. He fought from the village entrance to the small square, but there was no hidden stake to send a warning. Obviously, all the hidden stakes had been pulled out.

“He didn’t come here by accident, but with a clear goal.

"No matter what his goal is... in this branch, the most important things are in the general building.

“We must not let them succeed.”

"Are you afraid that the Seventy-Two Stable Yin Wind Formation can't stop him?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst!"

As one of the leaders of the Niejingtai branch, he was not worried about the casualties among his men. It didn't matter even if they all died.

But the information cannot be disclosed.

These things are far more valuable than the killers in the village.

Zhou Fuan nodded in understanding and immediately went with the leader of the branch.

General building.

The name sounds ordinary, but it actually comes from the word "一斑" in "a glimpse of the whole leopard" (a glimpse of the whole leopard).

The founder of Niejingtai in the past nominated it himself as a place to gather information.

However, the person who recorded it wrote "a bit" as "generally".

After the building was completed and the plaque was hung, the original owner of the Evil Mirror Platform realized that he was wrong.

The recorder wanted to commit suicide to plead guilty.

But he was stopped, and the owner of the evil mirror said with a smile: "Generally" is better than "a spot".

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. A killer should be indistinguishable from the crowd. He should be ordinary on the outside but extraordinary on the inside. The word 'ordinary' is just right for him."

In this way, the general building was preserved.

There is one headquarters of Niejingtai, and there are branches in various places.

The leader of the branch brought Zhou Fuan all the way to the general building, and the busy disciples of the Nie Jingtai stopped what they were doing.

He looked up at the leader of the branch helm.

The leader of the branch office frowned slightly, feeling somewhat reluctant to burn this place down.

After all, it has been run for many years... If he hadn't guessed that the person coming was too skilled in martial arts and was afraid that he would be difficult to resist, he would never have done this.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he asked the disciples who were busy inside to go out, and he took out an oil lamp.

“If the people who come here have not yet escaped from the Seventy-two Yin Wind Formation before the fire spreads, they should put out the fire immediately.

"Otherwise...it should be burned!"

The lamp oil spilled and the fire started.

The leader of the branch and Zhou Fuan walked out of the building, stopped and waited for the call.

As the fire behind them gradually spread...finally, a figure appeared in front of them.

But it was not the killer in the branch, but Chu Qing and Wen Rou.

The sword in Chu Qing's hand was no longer the one he had snatched from the man disguised as a farmer.

It was snatched from the killer of the Niejingtai later. This sword is much better than the previous one.

The tip of the sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and as he walked forward, drops of blood fell on the ground, soaking the soil.

Wenrou followed behind him, looking around and scanning the disciples who came out of the general building one by one.

Finally, he looked at the branch leader and Zhou Fuan standing in front of the building.

Zhou Fuan's pupils contracted slightly:

"It's you..."

Chu Qing ignored Zhou Fuan and looked at the fire spreading behind the branch leader.

Speak softly:
“General building… you guys are quick to see the opportunity.

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to break the Seventy-Two Yin Wind Formation. I should have come here first."

This formation is called mysterious, but in fact it relies on the number of people.

There may be some method... but it doesn't mean much to Chu Qing.

Relying on his immortal golden body and Tai Chi swordsmanship, he rushed forward and broke the formation completely in just a few moves.

"who are you?"

Of course, the leader of the branch office could not possibly fight with those ordinary killers from the Evil Mirror Stage who came up to fight without saying a word.

He had questions in his mind, so he naturally had to ask.

Chu Qing looked at Zhou Fuan:

"Mr. Zhou probably wants to know the identities of our two brothers."

"……Know."

Zhou Fuan said coldly:
"Han San, Han Si... they don't sound like their real names, their origins are unknown, and their martial arts skills are very strong.

"The three people, Farewell Sword, Flowing Rain Needle, and Breaking Heaven Palm, seem to have died in your hands...

"You guys, really followed me?"

Chu Qing clasped his fists:

"Thanks to Master Zhou for leading the way, otherwise, this place is so secret that it would be really troublesome for the two of us brothers to find it."

"How have I, the Mirror Tablet, offended you two?
“The three masters on the Demon-Slaying List went to Dingxing City to kill Liu Yulai.

"What does it have to do with you?
"It would be fine if you killed them, but you chased me to the branch?
"Why are you holding on so stubbornly?"

Zhou Fuan's face turned pale.

Chu Qing smiled:
"I am a man who loves justice and I hate to see a place like yours harboring filth and dirt.

"What's this about 'There are no good people in front of the mirror of evil'? It sounds better when said than sung.

"They specialize in victimizing young people who are new to the world, leaving them with blood on their hands, so that you can earn that dirty money."

"You really do know 'Sword Ghost'!
"Did you and the Sword Ghost conspire in the matter of Dingxing City?"

Zhou Fuan originally suspected that 'Han San' was the 'Sword Ghost'.

But now, looking at the man in front of him, he couldn't imagine that the 'Sword Ghost' could be reborn to this extent in just a few months.

It took less than a cup of tea for the Seventy-two Yin Wind Formations to stop him after destroying the Niejingtai branch.

You know, the minimum number of people required for the Seventy-Two Fixed Yin Wind Formation to form is seventy-two. Add in the other killers from the Evil Mirror Stage, and even if these people were kneeling on the ground and queuing up to be killed, it would take a cup of tea to kill them all.

If the Sword Ghost had this ability, he would have been on the Evil Slaying List long ago.

Even if it is cheating and deceiving, we cannot let such people become alienated from the Niejingtai.

Therefore, the most reasonable explanation is that 'Sword Ghost' got to know 'Han San' at some unknown time, and after telling him about his experiences, they conspired to cause trouble for Nie Jingtai.

And the more I think about it, the more I feel that this idea is right.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"For a mere abandoned child of the Nie Jing Tai, you actually killed so many people from our Nie Jing Tai...

"You are going to be an enemy of my evil mirror platform!!"

"Ok?"

Chu Qing shook the sword and said with a smile:

“I thought I had made it obvious.

"No one present today can escape from here..."

After he finished speaking, he said nothing more and drew his sword to kill him.

These people in front are different from the ones who took action before. This group of people have always been working in ordinary buildings and have rarely experienced fighting.

Although they have all passed rigorous training and sworn allegiance to the Niejingtai until death.

But they had too little experience in fighting... Chu Qing killed them just like killing chickens and ducks.

In a short while, bodies fell to the ground one after another, and blood gathered into a river.

Seeing this, the branch leader's sinister face drooped slightly, his figure shook, and then he disappeared like a ghost.

As the leader of a branch, he naturally has superb martial arts skills.

Although not as powerful as the masters on the Evil-Slaying List, his [Ghost Shadow Dark Wind Step] alone is already unpredictable.

Now, once it is used, it instantly disappears in front of everyone.

Zhou Fuan did not dare to take any chances. He stayed here not to die, but to get to the bottom of things.

Now that he thought he had seen through everything, he didn't care about anything else and jumped up to the top of the building.

The rooftop was where red-feathered carrier pigeons were raised. In a hurry, he had no time to grind ink, so he bit his finger and hurriedly wrote a line of words: 'Han San and the Sword Ghost conspired to kill me at the Mirror Terrace Branch'. After rolling it up, he found a red-feathered carrier pigeon that was restless in the cage because of the smoke and fire.

Take it out and put it on the letter barrel.

I looked downstairs...

The leader of the branch was seen walking among the crowd with ghostly steps.

In the blink of an eye, he touched Chu Qing's back.

He quietly struck Chu Qing from behind with his palm.

hum! !

A golden aura suddenly spread out, and this palm was just intercepted by Chu Qing's immortal golden body.

No matter how the branch leader used his internal energy, this indestructible golden body did not even waver in the slightest.

Chu Qing held the sword in his right hand and killed three more people. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed the neck of the branch helmsman:

"You want to kill me with just this sneaky trick?"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a snap, he broke the branch leader's neck.

If he had learned the Soul-piercing Finger from Wen Fusheng, he would have had a chance to get some information out of this man, but under the current circumstances, it would be better to kill them all.

Seeing this, Zhou Fuan didn't care about anything else and quickly flicked his hand, letting the red-feathered pigeon fly out.

Wenrou followed behind Chu Qing all the time, watching the fat red-feathered carrier pigeon fly out. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and secretly pointed out with a finger.

The carrier pigeon in mid-air shook all over and fell down.

Held gently.

Zhou Fuan released the carrier pigeon and felt relieved.

As the contact person of Nie Jing Tai, he is absolutely loyal to Nie Jing Tai and is willing to risk his life for it.

He is not afraid of death, but his fear of death is worthless.

I originally wanted to release a carrier pigeon to let the headquarters know the news.

But now...the sigh of relief that I just felt is rising again.

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but glance at Wenrou.

Her finger force was so exquisite that the pigeon was like a frightened bird. Although it fell down, it was not dead.

After it was in her hands, it started to flutter.

She handed the pigeon to Chu Qing:

"Can I eat it?"

Chu Qing laughed dryly:
"Well... wait for me to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qing sent out both of his palms at the same time.

The sound of dragon roar resounded in all directions!

It was a move from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, shocking everyone within a hundred miles! !
