The rain was loud.
The ticking sound kept beating on the ground and the roof of the small courtyard.
It also struck everyone’s heart.
They looked at Zhang Xingzong's fallen body in disbelief. He died in front of them.
There was no warning.
The culprit of all this was wiping the blood on the sword with a calm expression, and his slightly frowning brow seemed to be disgusted by the smelly blood that stained his sword.
"Asshole!" Meng Ziliang roared angrily. Even though he was always gentle, he couldn't control the anger in his heart at this time and wanted to step forward.
As soon as he took a step forward, Chu Qingxiao's hand stretched out and held him.
Meng Ziliang looked back at Chu Qingxiao in confusion when he saw this, only to see Chu Qingxiao shaking his head towards him at that time.
Gu Yuanhuai raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them, with a smile on his lips: "Mr. Meng, you must learn from this Mr. Chu. You will know that he has a long memory when you see him suffer losses."
"You!" Meng Ziliang's eyes turned red, but he finally understood that he couldn't change all this. After a sudden roar, he slowly lowered his clenched fists and stood slumped. In place.
Gu Yuanhuai was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He sheathed his sword, took one last look at everyone, turned around, and left at this moment.
It's still raining.
The people standing in the rain lowered their heads and allowed the heavy rain to wash away their bodies.
Everything that happened in just half an hour was particularly impactful to them.
It almost shakes this group of young girls' understanding of the world.
"I said, help them clean up."
After all, it was Chu Qingxiao who broke the silence. He said softly, looking at the children around him, as well as the bodies of Sanniang and Zhang Xingzong.
After hearing this, everyone looked at the corpses around them, and after a period of silence, they finally nodded.
…
Chu Zhaozhao carried Sanniang's body to the back room where wind and rain could not penetrate. She looked at the woman's face that seemed to be sleeping, thinking about the first time the two met.
In the afternoon forest at Gosying Village, they lay on the grass and took a nap.
She told her a lot about her past.
The grievance of being framed by an adulterer in that family, the determination to cut one's cheeks, and the despair when there was no hope of redress.
She has obviously gone through so much, but she still doesn't see the suffering in the world and always wants to do something for others.
Such a person should not die like this.
She felt it was unfair.
Feel aggrieved.
His eyes suddenly turned red.
Ziyu came over at this moment. She held a child's body, placed it beside Sanniang, and immediately looked at Chu Zhaozhao.
She thought that she should comfort Chu Zhaozhao, but the thought just came up, but she couldn't think of a suitable word to put her thoughts into practice for a long time - she was not very good at this after all.
She could only stand beside her silently and accompany her in her own way.
Chu Zhaozhao swallowed a few more times, and finally suppressed the cry that was swirling in his throat. He raised his head and looked around. Everyone had moved the corpses here. Next, they only needed to notify people to come over and bury them alive... …
Chu Zhaozhao thought this, but suddenly frowned, his eyes swept across the crowd again and asked: "Where is Qingxiao?"
Most of the people who were still in an atmosphere of grief and anger were stunned when they heard this. They also looked up and carefully searched around the courtyard, all hoping to find traces of Chu Qingxiao.
"It's strange, I saw him here just now..." someone muttered.
…
Gu Yuanhuai was in a good mood.
Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with the transfer from Ningzhou to Cangzhou.
He had been following the Ningzhou case for half a year. Although the false god was very good at disguising, he still caught some mistakes. Seeing that the matter was about to come to fruition, a piece of paper from above changed his hard work. The results of half a year were handed over to others.
You must know that catching a false god or an extraterrestrial demon is not an easy task. After all, most of these guys have weird methods.
But they didn't expect that this trip to Wancheng was surprisingly smooth. The demon was extremely weak when he was born. What surprised them the most was that the host of the demon was more like a passive reincarnation, always retaining a trace of consciousness and trying to fight against the body. The devil.
The best evidence of this is the children who survived the first birth.
If the demon is born under normal circumstances, it will probably kill all its blood relatives immediately to complete its first growth, and then fulfill the host's long-cherished wish to complete the entire ceremony.
But this demon apparently suffered fierce resistance from its original host when it was massacring those children, so it allowed them to survive.
It was precisely from this inference that Gu Yuanhuai captured the demon for the first time and released it, forcing him to complete the first step of the birth ceremony.
What he didn't expect was that even after reaching this point, the original host still showed strong resistance to killing those children, especially his biological sister, and was even persuaded by the woman at one point.
This forced Gu Yuanhuai to help him.
Although such a result cannot make the demon's reincarnation complete, it is still gratifying to obtain an almost complete star-level divine marrow in less than half a month. .
Whether they keep this thing for themselves to refine slowly, or hand it over to Supervisor Tiansi, Gu Yuanhuai and Xia Jingru can get enough benefits to keep them under their guidance for several years.
With this thought in mind, the two of them walked briskly, and unknowingly they had walked several miles out of Wancheng.
For them, staying in that small town filled with the smell of horse manure was torture every moment, and there was no need to keep the information now.
The rain was still falling and there was deep water on the official road.
"In this ruined land, even the rain is so annoying." Xia Jingru muttered.
Gu Yuanhuai heard the words and said in a deep voice: "With this divine essence, Jing Ru, you are expected to break through the six realms within five years. The spiritual power is as powerful as the river and the sea. It can be used to protect the sun and rain. Isn't it something that can be easily obtained?"
"Six realms..." After hearing this, Xia Jingru's eyes filled with fire.
The further they go on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Both of them are in their thirties. They have been wandering in the five realms for a long time, and their breakthrough is far away. However, this divine marrow is like a panacea for them. As long as they can practice well, Transformation, the six realms are indeed just around the corner.
"Speaking of which, it would have to be Mr. Gu's ingenuity, otherwise this trip would not be so easy." Xia Jingru said at this time, her tone was a bit softer, and there was a faint flow of autumn water between Gu Yuanhuai's eyebrows when she looked at him.
When Gu Yuanhuai saw this, his heart felt hot. Of course he was a little moved and was about to say something.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
But at this moment, a sound similar to the sound of rain falling from the sky, but slightly different, came from not far away.
The difference was extremely subtle, and coupled with the heavy rain, if Gu Yuanhuai hadn't reached the fifth level of cultivation, he really wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.
He was startled and turned to look at the place where the sound came from. Outside the dense rain curtain, a broken sword was spinning, cutting open a stream of rain particles and shooting towards him.
He frowned, stretched out a hand at this moment, spiritual energy surged in his arm, and he held it in the air. At this moment, the broken sword that was coming was firmly held in his hand.
Zheng!
The broken sword trembled slightly, as if unwilling to be held by Gu Yuanhuai, but the trembling soon stopped.
A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yuanhuai's mouth: "It's a small trick."
He said this, but as soon as he finished speaking, a long black sword passed through the rain curtain and struck at his face at an alarming speed.
The smile on Gu Yuanhuai's face faded, and he shouted: "Seeking death!"
The spiritual power all over his body exploded, and the surrounding rain curtain was also shaken by the spiritual power. The rain particles burst one after another and turned into a ball of water mist.
The force wrapped in the mist made the owner of the black sword tremble, and the attack slowed down significantly.
Gu Yuanhuai threw out the broken sword in his hand, passed through the rain curtain with his hand, and firmly held the incoming sword again with his physical body.
The owner of the long sword obviously did not expect Gu Yuanhuai's reaction to be so quick. He used his arm to pull out the long sword, but the sword was tightly held by Gu Yuanhuai. No matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it out. Half a point.
"I just praised Mr. Chu as a man who knows current affairs, but I didn't expect that I thought highly of you." Gu Yuanhuai stared at the visitor and said coldly.
Chu Qingxiao's face was ugly. He looked at the man in front of him angrily and cursed through gritted teeth: "Don't make such nonsense! A villain like you who kills innocent people indiscriminately is no different from a pig or a dog!"
"I, Chu Qingxiao, am an upright person. What does it have to do with me whether I look down upon someone like you!?"
"What an upright person!" Chu Qingxiao's words undoubtedly angered Gu Yuanhuai. He snorted coldly and slapped his other hand towards Chu Qingxiao's abdomen with huge force.
Chu Qingxiao's body retreated several feet at this moment. Finally, he inserted the long sword into the ground and pulled out a several-foot-long gap in the ground. Only then was he able to stop his violent retreat.
But despite this, his face had become extremely pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
"Chu Qingxiao, because of your status as a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, I have let you go once. Don't think that with Tianxuan Mountain's support, you can really be unscrupulous!"
"This is the last chance I give you. If you persist, I will kill you!"
Gu Yuanhuai said so, a cold light surged in his eyes.
But Chu Qingxiao, who heard this, remained silent. He just pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand and stood up straight with some difficulty.
"Well, I feel Lord Gu's magnanimity." He said at this time very seriously, but the corners of his mouth suddenly grinned, revealing a bright smile.
"So, in return..."
"When I kill you two later, I promise to do my best to make your death as happy as possible!"
As he said this, he slowly raised his other hand, and a golden object the size of a grain of rice was held in his palm.
"Huh?" Gu Yuanhuai and Xia Jingru's expressions changed when they saw this clearly. Gu Yuanhuai immediately looked at his chest and saw that the clothes there were torn apart at some point.
His heart trembled, and he immediately realized that Chu Qingxiao's feint attack just now was not intended to really hurt him, but to take this opportunity to take away the marrow he held in his arms.
It was this thing that he had tried his best to achieve. At this moment, it was taken away by Chu Qingxiao, and he could no longer maintain the calmness on the surface.
His eyes were bloodshot, and veins popped out on his face. At that time, he looked at Chu Qingxiao, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Chu Qingxiao! Do you know that you are looking for death?"
Chu Qingxiao didn't care at all about the threat in his words, he just raised the marrow high and shook it towards Gu Yuanhuai provocatively.
"want to?"
"Then take it based on your ability."
After he said this, he smiled slightly.
The hand holding the marrow was passed to his mouth, and with a gurgling sound, the marrow was swallowed by him.
