Mu Xiaoxiang blew out smoke gently from her mouth, and the scent of tobacco lingered in the air.
He looked at Gong Ziyu with eyes as deep as the sea.
Gong Ziyu was looking at the bowl of tea in front of him.
Both of them looked calm on the surface, not at all tense.
A killer who didn't look like a murderer, a target who was in an ambush.
But some of the most deadly things are often hidden behind the calm.
Gong Ziyu slowly stretched out his hand, and when he went to pick up the bowl of tea, his sleeves gently brushed the table.
Then his hand touched the bowl of tea.
His eyes suddenly became serious and he said, "It is indeed a great honor to be able to drink tea here poured by Mr. Xiaoxiang himself."
"You're welcome." Mu Xiaoxiang's face looked a little uncertain behind the smoke. He said calmly: "Because after all, these two bowls of tea were bought with your own money."
Gong Ziyu gently turned his fingers on the mouth of the tea bowl and said, "So no matter how this tea tastes, I have to drink it."
Mu Xiaoxiang still smiled and said, "It seems like this."
"After talking so much, my mouth is almost dry." Gong Ziyu suddenly laughed and said, "So even if this bowl of tea is heartbreaking poison, I still have to drink it."
Mu Xiaoxiang smiled and said nothing.
Gong Ziyu picked up the bowl of tea and brought it to his mouth.
The tea in the bowl is still steaming.
Then Gong Ziyu slowly poured the bowl of tea into his mouth.
His throat moved slightly, and the tea had been drank into his stomach.
Mu Xiaoxiang's eyes were interesting.
Gong Ziyu finished his tea and smacked his lips, as if he was still thinking about it.
"Master Xiaoxiang's tea is indeed different and has a different taste." Gongziyu sighed: "It's just that the tea leaves don't seem to be very good, so the tea is not clean and some residues are inedible."
After he finished speaking, he gently turned the bowl in his hand, and sure enough, a few drops of tea residue fell out of the bowl.
Mu Xiaoxiang still smiled and said nothing.
Those few drops of tea residue dripped on the table, and a few wisps of faint green smoke suddenly appeared on the wooden table, as if the tabletop was being burned.
The tea was indeed poisonous, and it was extremely poisonous.
But Gong Ziyu looked normal, and it seemed that such poison did not make him abnormal.
Mu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but applaud softly and said: "You know that the tea has been poisoned by me, but you can still be so calm and have such courage. I really admire you." He suddenly sighed softly: "You can drink my poison. But you are the first one to be safe and sound. You, Gong Ziyu, are indeed not ordinary or simple."
Gong Ziyu put down the tea bowl, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who said I am safe and sound? After drinking this bowl of tea, I only have half a life left."
"If someone else said this, I would believe it. But if it comes from your mouth, I don't believe it." Mu Xiaoxiang said: "If you really only have half your life left, then your life is too hard. "
Gong Ziyu said calmly: "If my life is not tough enough, how can I let Young Master Xiaoxiang, who is third on the black list, come forward in person?"
"Interesting." Mu Xiaoxiang said, "Just what you said, I drank the bowl of tea you bought me."
He stretched out his hand and pressed his palm on the tea bowl, and then the tea in the bowl suddenly boiled under his palm. But this sign quickly disappeared, and finally Mu Xiaoxiang gently picked up another bowl of tea on the table with three fingers.
This time it was Gong Ziyu's turn to stretch out his hand and say, "Please."
Mu Xiaoxiang smiled slightly, raised his hand to bring the tea bowl to his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.
Mu Xiaoxiang put down the tea bowl and his expression changed slightly. Then he picked up the pipe and took a drag.
Gong Ziyu said nothing and looked at him quietly.
Mu Xiaoxiang suddenly blew out a puff of smoke, and the smoke formed into a ball and flew towards Gong Ziyu's face.
Gong Ziyu raised his right hand slightly and put a palm across his face. At the same time, he said calmly: "Young master Xiaoxiang, you don't have to be polite, I don't like this."
A palm ago, the cloud of smoke stopped motionless. But the pale smoke did not dissipate immediately, but instantly turned into a large piece of blood-red smoke and blood, completely covering one hand of Gong Ziyu.
Mu Xiaoxiang smiled strangely and said, "This little trick is not meant as a sign of respect, so I'll just treat it as an entertainment for you."
In the blink of an eye, one of Gong Ziyu's hands turned blood red.
Gong Ziyu's expression suddenly changed, and surprise appeared on his face for the first time. He pumped his palms, and the true energy surged out of his palms, intertwining with the blood mist.
The blood-colored smoke seemed to be like a living thing. Under the force of the true energy, it changed again. In an instant, it turned into silk, and it surged ferociously on Gong Ziyu's palm, intending to break through the flesh.
Gong Ziyu looked surprised, as if he didn't expect Mu Xiaoxiang to have such a weird poison.
"Red blood eyes?" Gong Ziyu suddenly said in a low tone: "Young Master Xiaoxiang has so many interesting things."
Mu Xiaoxiang's face changed. He was quite surprised. He couldn't help but frown and said, "I didn't expect you to know the name of this kind of poison. Gong Ziyu is indeed very knowledgeable. You are really a person who can surprise others at any time. I really can't help but It makes me murderous."
A murderous look flashed in his eyes, and at the same time the vision reappeared.
I saw a large group of black ants appearing on the ground around where the two of them were sitting. There were more than a thousand in number. They seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and were moving and gathering at extremely fast speeds. The two people were quickly surrounded.
A swarm of ants surrounded the two of them, but the target of the attack was Gong Ziyu.
This situation is really nerve-wracking.
Gongzi Yu was concentrating on fighting against the strange "Red Blood Eye" poison in his hand, when he suddenly saw this strange phenomenon, his heart suddenly sank, his face suddenly turned cold, and his feet suddenly stopped.
The real energy around him immediately surged, forming an invisible shield of Gang Qi. The ants on the ground were immediately blocked and charged wildly outside the Gangqi circle.
Mu Xiaoxiang's eyes were cold and stern. He raised the pipe in his hand and took a deep breath.
A puff of smoke came out of his mouth again, and the scent of smoke and tobacco lingered on the table for a long time.
The black army of ants on the ground seemed to be guided again. They gave up attacking the air wall and instead squirmed crazily. They climbed up one after another from the four wooden pillars of the table. But in the blink of an eye, the entire wooden table was covered with dense ants. Layers upon layers of ants.
How could such a horrifying scene not be horrifying?
Mu Xiaoxiang's face also turned cold. He looked at Gong Ziyu and smiled strangely: "It seems that Gong Ziyu is a very popular person. Even these little things want to come and admire your style."
Hearing this, Gong Ziyu snorted coldly: "Your method of using poison to repel animals is indeed brilliant. It is rare in the world. No wonder you are ranked third on the black list. Now that you have taken action, it seems that you are fully confident that you can kill me." ”
Mu Xiaoxiang smiled strangely and said: "Although I am sure, it is not too great, so I still want to give it a try."
As he spoke, he held the pipe in one hand and placed it gently on the edge of the table with the other, while tapping his five fingers slowly and rhythmically.
Following the movements of his fingers, countless ants on the table all turned around. The formation was like a thousand troops arrayed, all facing Gong Ziyu in a dark mass.
A sneer appeared on Mu Xiaoxiang's lips, and she continued to tap with her fingers. The army of ants on the table began to crawl toward Gongzi Yu like a tide, as if they had been ordered by the general.
Gong Ziyu's expression finally changed. He resisted the poison with one hand and pressed the edge of the table with the other. Suddenly a huge force burst through the table and rushed towards the countless ants.
Powerful Qi spurted out, and the entire wooden table began to tremble violently.
The ant army was blocked again. They rolled and twisted, and gathered into a snake-like ant formation under Mu Xiaoxiang's increasingly rapid finger tapping, continuing to collide with the invisible energy.
Both Gong Ziyu and Mu Xiaoxiang were speechless, and the two immediately formed a stalemate.
But in just a moment, Gong Ziyu's face gradually dimmed, and the blood-red mist thread on his hand became more and more dazzling.
At this moment, Gong Ziyu has deeply felt that Mu Xiaoxiang is not only a master of poison, but also a top master with deep internal strength.
At this time, Mu Xiaoxiang's tobacco pipe was almost burnt out.
He knocked on the table with one hand, and then blew out the last puff of smoke towards Gong Ziyu.
The smoke actually condensed into shape and hit Gong Ziyu's face.
Gong Ziyu used both hands to do something, and could not hold back to resist. In desperation, he could only repeat his old tricks and exhale a breath of true energy at the smoke.
The true energy spurted out, scattering the smoke into the air.
But Gongzi Yu spoke out his true energy, and all the energy in his body suddenly leaked, like a copper wall suddenly breaking through a gap.
And the unique scent of tobacco in the air also took the opportunity to get into his nostrils.
The fragrance entered his nose and the qi flowed into his veins. The real energy in Gong Ziyu's body suddenly stagnated, and several meridians immediately experienced severe pain.
Unable to regain his energy, the poison of the "Red Blood Eye" on his hand instantly wormed its way into Gongzi Yu's palm like hundreds of little snakes.
Gong Ziyu's face turned dark instantly, and his palm quickly swelled in size, and a bloody light visible to the naked eye was visible, as if it was about to burst out of the palm.
Mu Xiaoxiang's calm expression flashed with a hint of pride.
It is undeniable that Gong Ziyu is the strongest opponent he has ever encountered since his debut in the world, so he is forced to use two secret poison techniques at the same time that he would never use easily. Before that, his two attempts ended in failure. This situation was an unbelievable blow to this feared killer.
What makes Mu Xiaoxiang even more unbelievable is that Gong Ziyu actually made the Honglou, which had always had no defeat, lose two masters in succession, and he was also a killer listed on the black list. This is also an unacceptable fact for Honglou, so Gong Ziyu must die.
Now Gong Ziyu is a target that must be eradicated for Honglou. The reason is not complicated. In addition to the transaction of collecting money from the employer, Gong Ziyu's actions in the world in recent years have gradually affected the murder business of Honglou. Although Gong Ziyu is just a middleman who solves people's problems, he does a lot of murder business, and he never fails in the business he takes over, so he has already developed a very high reputation in this industry. Although Gong Ziyu has never personally killed someone, judging from his reputation and name, he can be sure that the killers related to him are no worse than Honglou. As Hong Lou, who also mainly focuses on killing people, Gong Ziyu has become their competitor. Before Gong Ziyu appeared, the Red Mansion was equivalent to a monopoly organization in the killer industry. But after Gong Ziyu appeared, his existence had the potential to shake the status of the killer of the Red Mansion.
Therefore, in public and private matters, Gong Ziyu seems to have to disappear from the world.
But what Honglou didn't expect was that Gong Ziyu would turn out to be a hot potato. Not only did Honglou fail to get rid of him at once, but it also paid an extremely expensive price one after another. If this news spreads out, the reputation of Red Mansion will be greatly affected.
For Hong Lou, what is directly related to reputation is profit, and profit is money, which is money.
There has been an ironclad truth since ancient times, that is, never have trouble with money. The meaning of the existence of Red Mansion is for money. If someone blocks their way to make money, there is only death.
But what they didn't expect was that the employer who asked Honglou to kill Gong Ziyu at a huge cost was already dead. And the reason why the employer wanted to kill Gong Ziyu turned out to be just an intriguing plot.
But now, the reason why Honglou wants to get rid of Gong Ziyu is no longer a simple transaction.
But now, after some scheming, Gong Ziyu finally got Mu Xiaoxiang's way, and he was poisoned. And he was poisoned by two different kinds of poison.
So Mu Xiaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew very well how powerful the "Red Blood Eye" was. Once someone was poisoned by this poison, no matter how high his cultivation level was, he would not be able to escape death, and his death would be extremely miserable. .
This unpredictable and unpredictable planner in the world was finally going to die in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiang inevitably felt a burst of pride in her heart.
"Red blood eyes, the fragrance of dead souls!" Gongziyu, whose face turned black at this moment, still had the energy to speak: "It's really a life-threatening thing. You must be thinking now, should I die soon?"
His tone was sinister, but his voice was already trembling.
There are countless ants on the table that are still attacking Gong Ziyu. Under internal and external pressure, the situation has become critical and very dangerous.
Mu Xiaoxiang smiled and said: "You are the first person who can force me to use so many secret poisons at the same time. You are such an amazing guy. I suddenly feel reluctant to kill you. After all, you are a very good opponent. It's a pity. I have to kill you again, so I have no choice but to send you on your way."
He shook his head slightly and sighed, his expression seemed like he really couldn't bear it.
"Your pity is really hypocritical." Gong Ziyu sneered.
Then he suddenly dispersed his power, removed his hand that was resisting the ant formation, and raised his fingers to draw like lightning towards the other palm that was swelling red.
The finger blade was like a knife, and a cut was made in the palm of the poisoned palm, and blood suddenly burst out.
The blood splattered from the wound on the palm turned out to be a weird dark gold color.
Gong Ziyu said nothing and immediately put his hand flat on the table. The large array of ants as thick as a snake seemed to have found an opening and began to rush towards the wound on the palm crazily.
In the blink of an eye, Gong Ziyu's hand was swamped by ants.
At the same time, Gong Ziyu did something that stunned Mu Xiaoxiang.
When the ants were swarming towards his poisonous palm, he suddenly stretched out his other hand, grabbed a handful of ants, then opened his mouth and put all the squirming ants in.
Young Master Yu's expression didn't change. He closed his mouth tightly and swallowed all the ants.
Mu Xiaoxiang's face suddenly twitched across from him, and his stomach couldn't help but twitch. He was stunned and was stunned for a moment.
He didn't know why Gong Ziyu would do such an incredible and disgusting thing at this critical moment.
Even in places where there is a famine, I'm afraid no one will eat ants. There are still a lot of ants, and those ants are still highly poisonous.
But now Gong Ziyu has swallowed the ant without changing his expression.
Because he grabbed another handful of ants and put them into his mouth. And his expression has softened.
But after being surprised, Mu Xiaoxiang immediately became alert, because he had already thought that an unusually powerful character like Gong Ziyu would never do such meaningless things at such a critical moment.
There was a movement in his mind, and he seemed to have thought of some key to it, but he was not sure, so he chose to sit on the sidelines first, and then wait for the opportunity to act.
Gong Ziyu's poisoned palm was completely swamped by ants, which were frantically sucking the dark golden blood flowing out of the wound. In just a moment, the layer of ants on the palm was swollen with blood, and became blood red all over.
Mu Xiaoxiang's face was gloomy, he already understood one thing.
Gong Ziyu is using the poisonous ants he drives to detoxify!
Then the layer of ants fell from the hand one after another, and all of them died.
But a layer of ants died, and then a group of ants rushed to the wound one after another, as if the weird blood was their most delicious food.
After repeating this process several times, the swelling in Gong Ziyu's hand quickly subsided, the color of the red blood gradually disappeared, and even the blood became normal.
But next to his hand, a lot of ant corpses piled up.
Gong Ziyu suddenly raised his hand, and he moved his fingers like flying, sealing several acupuncture points on the injured arm in an instant, and then used his fingers to press down along the meridians of the arm.
As the zhenqi in the meridians of his arm compressed, a stream of red blood spurted out from the wound on his palm.
Mu Xiaoxiang looked on with cold eyes, her face becoming more and more gloomy. His true energy suddenly flowed through him, and he could hardly help but send out a full blow.
But he still held it back. Because after all, he is a very witty and calm killer.
Since Gong Ziyu has been able to seal his luck, it means that the poison in his body no longer poses a threat to him.
This also means that Mu Xiaoxiang, the leading poison master in the world, made three consecutive attempts, all of which ended in failure.
This ending made Mu Xiaoxiang's heart feel extremely heavy. The world-famous top assassin who was ranked third on the Red Mansion Black List actually missed his target for the first time. Red Mansion's undefeated reputation was broken again by the same person.
Although Mu Xiaoxiang still had some remaining strength, he knew that Gong Ziyu would not die, at least not by his own hands tonight.
Mu Xiaoxiang is not an ordinary martial artist, nor a martial arts hero. He is a killer. Therefore, he will not choose to fight the target fairly or rely on his own martial arts to decide life and death. The killer's task is to kill the target, but the means are not so particular. Top killers focus on the timing of killing and the speed of killing with one hit. Being quick, decisive, clean and repelling with one blow is the way to survive for a top killer. The more entangled with the target, the more flaws will be exposed. Obviously, Gong Ziyu is a master who can seize the opponent's flaws. Mu Xiaoxiang understood this truth, so he resisted the urge to take action again.
In the world of martial arts and martial arts, decent people will value reputation more than their lives. But does a killer need fame? In Mu Xiaoxiang's heart, the answer is no. In his opinion, it is not a good thing for a killer to be too famous, because it means that others will know and study him more, his weaknesses will be exposed, and others will be more prepared to guard against him. This will make his task more difficult. Therefore, in Mu Xiaoxiang's heart, the most terrifying killer is one who has no name or trace, so that there will be no flaws or weaknesses. And such a killer will never miss.
It comes and goes without a trace, transforming all living beings. The person who takes the life is invisible and the killer is nameless - only in this state can one be considered the strongest killer in the world.
But although Mu Xiaoxiang is a top being in the killer world, he is not the strongest one.
That's why he has flaws and makes mistakes. Because he has a reputation and characteristics.
Under absolute wisdom, a person's reputation and characteristics sometimes become a fatal weakness.
Now Mu Xiaoxiang has vaguely realized that Gong Ziyu is the kind of person with absolute wisdom. This kind of wisdom is terrifying, even far more than martial arts.
Therefore, Mu Xiaoxiang decided not to take action at will.
