But Gong Ziyu suddenly took action at this time. He waved his sleeves with both hands, and two waves of majestic power surged out.
The "Red Blood Eyes" on his hands and the "Dead Soul Fragrance" in his body had obviously been detoxified by him in a way that no one could predict.
But there are still a large number of ants densely packed on the table.
As he waved his sleeves, the ants on the table rolled up under the two rays of real power, and then all of them pounced on Mu Xiaoxiang.
The ants are small in size, but there are too many of them. After being imbued with internal energy by Gong Ziyu, they are like a large dense hidden weapon, and their power cannot be underestimated.
Mu Xiaoxiang was not surprised. His eyes flashed coldly, and then he waved out his palm without thinking.
Not only is his use of poison clever and ingenious, but he also possesses profound internal cultivation. Although this palm was only issued casually, the wind of the palm was sharp and quite impressive.
The two fought again silently. The energy collided with each other, and there was a muffled shock in the air. The countless ants exploded into a mass of debris in the palm of the hand, and the entire table was shaken two feet off the ground.
Amidst the surging wind from his palm, Mu Xiaoxiang suddenly let out a muffled groan, his face changed drastically, and his body trembled slightly.
Gong Ziyu closed his palms and smiled calmly.
But Mu Xiaoxiang looked at his palm with a gloomy expression, and a silver needle was inserted into his palm.
This silver needle is so short and thin that it is almost difficult to see with the naked eye. Moreover, in Mu Xiaoxiang's sharp eyes, the silver needle turned slightly blue.
Mu Xiaoxiang used poison, so he could tell at a glance that this silver needle was poisonous.
Mu Xiaoxiang suddenly raised his head and looked at Gong Ziyu, his expression extremely cold.
The wound on Gong Ziyu's hand had stopped bleeding. He took out a handkerchief from his body with a calm expression, and then wiped the blood on his hand slowly.
"It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating." Gong Ziyu wiped his hands, glanced at Mu Xiaoxiang, and said, "A small return gift is not respectful. I hope Master Xiaoxiang doesn't mind."
Mu Xiaoxiang's face was so cold that there was no warmth at all. He sneered: "Although your methods are good, you seem to have forgotten what I am best at. And this kind of poison is not worth mentioning to me."
"Young master Xiaoxiang is the best in the world in his use of poison. I have already learned from him." Gong Ziyu said calmly: "So using poison in front of you is naturally a big deal in front of Guan Gong. But I also want to explain the poison of this silver needle. It was not meant to poison you."
"What did you say?" Mu Xiaoxiang was slightly startled when he heard this. He was a little confused.
Gong Ziyu smiled slightly, played with his handkerchief, and did not answer immediately.
After Mu Xiaoxiang was startled, he suddenly felt a violent convulsion in his stomach, and a pain that was close to heartbreaking instantly spread throughout his body. A look of horror flashed across his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
His two sword eyebrows frowned, and there was a look of pain in his eyes.
"You...!" Mu Xiaoxiang suddenly raised his head and stared at Gong Ziyu, his eyes were shocked and he said fiercely: "You actually put a poison on me?"
Gong Ziyu nodded calmly and said: "It's just a gadget, why should Young Master Xiaoxiang be so nervous?"
Mu Xiaoxiang circulated the true energy in his body, but found that as soon as he moved his thoughts, there was a sudden stabbing pain in his Dantian, and then there was a sharp pain in the twelve meridians in his body.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Mu Xiaoxiang's vest. He hurriedly dismissed the thought of gathering strength, but found that the severe pain disappeared immediately.
"When did you put the poison on me?" Mu Xiaoxiang looked at Gong Ziyu and asked. He secretly held his breath and tried not to let the shock in his heart show.
"Of course it's the bowl of tea you poured yourself." Gong Ziyu didn't hide it.
"Impossible. I already sensed it when I drank tea. There is no poison in the tea at all." Mu Xiaoxiang's face darkened.
Gong Ziyu smiled and said: "I know. For a master like you who often deals with different poisons, no poison can escape your eyes. But I want to tell you, the little thing in the tea itself is not poisonous. In other words, it was in a comatose state when it was in the tea."
Mu Xiaoxiang is so smart. He is good at making poisons, identifying poisons, and using poisons, so he immediately understood the meaning of the words, but his expression became even more gloomy. "I see, no wonder I didn't notice it. So the poison you cast requires the host's own true energy to trigger vitality, and the poison contained in the poisonous needle is what triggers the poison."
"Young Master Xiaoxiang is indeed extremely intelligent, and he can understand everything with just one word." Gong Ziyu sighed: "This saves me a lot of wasted explanations."
Mu Xiaoxiang was secretly frightened. He took a deep breath and locked the qi mechanism of the acupoints in his body. At the same time, he said coldly: "I can't believe that Gong Ziyu is not only extremely resourceful and powerful in martial arts, but he is also a master of using poison. But I, Mu Xiaoxiang, have made a mistake today."
"When I often walk by the river, my shoes will always get wet." Gong Ziyu said calmly: "But my technique is just a piece of cake in front of an expert, how can it be difficult for Young Master Xiaoxiang to live with me?"
Mu Xiaoxiang suddenly calmed down his gloomy look. He sighed and said: "The fact that you can think of the detoxification method of fighting poison with poison in a very short period of time shows that you must know a lot about poison. Even I have never thought of it. This abnormal method can be used to detoxify the red blood eyes and dead soul incense."
There was some sincere admiration in his words.
Gong Ziyu also sighed: "To be honest, I just gambled on my luck out of desperation. Fortunately, my luck has always been pretty good, and I got it right by mistake."
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiang would not believe such perfunctory rhetoric. But he was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore. He just looked down at the silver needle still in his palm, smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and said, "You actually used the same technique twice. I just guessed it and I thought you wouldn't." The thought of using the same trick over and over again is why you do the opposite. Such a treacherous thought is beyond my reach, Mu Xiaoxiang. I will not lose this battle unjustly."
Gong Ziyu did not refute his guess and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. If we are dealing with a powerful person like you, if we want to survive, we have to use some cleverness."
"Since I have lost, I have nothing to say." Mu Xiaoxiang sneered and said, "Now let me ask, what kind of poison did you give me?"
"There are many things like Gu. Although Young Master Xiaoxiang uses poison, he is probably no stranger to Gu. Even if I don't tell you, you will figure it out sooner or later." Gong Ziyu said: "But you and I are enemies after all. position, although you have not officially received the task of getting rid of me, but since you are the Red Mansion Killer, you will attack me again sooner or later. If I want to live longer, I have to leave a way out for myself. .”
He sighed softly and said, "So I can only tell you that the little bug in your stomach is called the Gu."
"Heartbreaker Gu?" Mu Xiaoxiang raised his eyebrows, remembering the pain of bone-crushing and heart-breaking pain just now, this name is quite appropriate.
"That's right, heartbroken Gu." Young Master Yu nodded and said, "Young Master Xiaoxiang has deep inner strength and is good at poisoning, so this little thing can't kill you. But it's easier to invite gods than to send them away. I believe you also know it. As for whether you can lift it or not, that’s none of my business.”
When Mu Xiaoxiang heard this, he actually showed a rather surprised look. He looked at Gong Ziyu and said: "Although the heart-breaking Gu can't kill me, it can imprison my body. So if you take action now, you will be very confident. Being able to kill me is also your best chance. Because getting rid of a killer who is ranked third on the black list is equivalent to eliminating another fatal hidden danger for you. Aren't you tempted by such a thing? "
Hearing this, Gong Ziyu didn't answer the question: "Then when I was detoxifying, you had the opportunity to take action against me, why did you give up again?"
Mu Xiaoxiang sighed: "I said that I am a cautious person who is afraid of death. Since I didn't let you die three times, it means that even if I try again, I may not be successful. There is a saying that things can only come in threes, and I am the same. I’m just leaving a way out for myself.”
"What an interesting person." Gong Ziyu smiled and said, "I have a hobby, that is, I am particularly interested in interesting people and interesting things."
"Oh?" Mu Xiaoxiang raised her eyelids and frowned, "So, is this the reason why you don't kill me?"
"That's right." Gong Ziyu said, "This is one of the reasons why I don't take action against you."
Mu Xiaoxiang said: "It sounds like you have another reason."
Gong Ziyu looked at him and said: "In general, there are three reasons why I don't take advantage of others' danger now."
Mu Xiaoxiang's face was gloomy and uncertain.
Gong Ziyu continued: "First, I said you are an interesting person. Second, I want to make a bet with you. Third, I want to use tonight's incident to ask you to convey something to the Red Mansion."
Mu Xiaoxiang pondered: "It seems like you are really a gambler. Otherwise, why would you like to bet with others so much?"
Gong Ziyu smiled and said: "There are many ways to gamble, and gambling is the lowest way. But no matter how many ways there are, the final goal is the same, that is, everyone who participates in gambling wants to win. This It’s just the joy of gambling.”
"But I don't know what you want to bet with me?" Mu Xiaoxiang seemed to be aroused by his words.
"Of course you and I are gambling on our lives." Gong Ziyu didn't try to be mysterious, and said directly: "What happened between you and me tonight is a draw. Now, although you have fallen into my trap, you still feel in your heart. You must not be convinced, because you once said that we still have some strength left in each other. Although you and I are not very gentlemen, I can give you another chance to kill me, because for such an interesting person like you, I am also very I want to know if I can catch it next time you try your best."
"Are you a human being or a lunatic?" Mu Xiaoxiang traveled all over the world, but had never heard such weird words. He couldn't help but twitched his face and said coldly: "Don't you know, if I remove the poison? , then what you wait for will only be a dead end."
"Of course I know your abilities, but I just like interesting things. The more difficult the game, the more challenging it is." Gong Ziyu suddenly smiled evilly, with a flash of arrogance in his eyes. He said: "I can give you another chance to kill me, but only if you can remove the heart-breaking Gu. But the stakes are equal, one chance, if I don't die, it will be you who will die."
Mu Xiaoxiang's eyelids twitched. Gong Ziyu's flash of evil look actually made the top killer of the Red Mansion feel a chill in his heart.
Mu Xiaoxiang felt that the man in front of him, with ulterior motives and moody thoughts, was as deep as an abyss, making it impossible for anyone to see his true identity clearly. But he is such a weird but terrifying person, and he actually has a mysterious and evil aura about him, which makes people want to stay away but are full of curiosity about him.
As a top killer, Mu Xiaoxiang's provocative words from Gong Ziyu aroused the competitive spirit that had been buried deep in his heart for many years. He smiled coldly, and then said decisively: "It is indeed a very interesting bet. I, Mu Xiaoxiang, agree to it."
Once the game is over, life or death is decided!
Gong Ziyu gently touched his palms, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Very good. Then I'll wait and see what you do."
Mu Xiaoxiang's expression was uncertain, and then she asked: "Besides the gambling, what is the last thing you want me to convey to the Red Mansion?"
Gong Ziyu looked up at the night sky, then breathed out softly and said slowly: "I believe you have understood that the matter between me and your Red Mansion has gone beyond business. And I have to make a choice, So the death of Cui Chuang and Liu Sha serial tonight can be regarded as my return gift to Red Mansion."
Mu Xiaoxiang's handsome and feminine face suddenly turned cold.
Gong Ziyu lowered his eyes, looked at Mu Xiaoxiang and said: "Since the relationship between us has been forged, we can only let it go if the fish is dead and the net is broken. Because I don't like to be followed by a biting and annoying dog forever in the future. .”
What he said was a bit harsh. The biting dog in his words was of course Hong Lou.
Mu Xiaoxiang's face darkened again. He is one of the main forces behind the establishment of the Red Mansion, but I have never heard anyone so arrogant as to call such a terrifying killer organization a "biting dog."
Mu Xiaoxiang immediately felt angry at being despised.
But I heard Gong Ziyu say leisurely: "So I let you go this time, just because I hope you can convey the message to the owner of Hong Lou. If Hong Lou insists on biting me, I will declare here: Gong Ziyu and Hong Lou officially declare war."
His tone was very calm, but Mu Xiaoxiang could feel that those few short words were full of decisiveness.
Especially the four words "formally declare war" were like a heavy hammer hitting Mu Xiaoxiang's heart, making him tremble inwardly.
Mu Xiaoxiang heard such arrogant but decisive words for the first time in his life.
He couldn't help but look at Gong Ziyu in surprise. He was no longer sure whether the person in front of him was a normal person or a complete madman. Because maybe only a madman would say such crazy things.
Are you kidding me, declaring war on the Red Mansion? Nowadays, there are black and white in the world. Even the Chunqiu Pavilion and Jianzong, who are famous in the martial arts world, would not dare to casually say such things as declaring war with the number one killer organization in the world, right?
But although Mu Xiaoxiang was surprised, he could also see that Gong Ziyu was not joking.
But although this sentence is simple, the consequences it contains are not simple. Because as soon as the words "official declaration of war" are spread, Gong Ziyu will face the terrifying power of most of the killers in the world.
Why can he fight against the entire Red Mansion on his own?
Mu Xiaoxiang suddenly wanted to laugh, but for some reason, there was no smile on her face.
He could only smile coldly, fixed his eyes on Gong Ziyu, and said: "You are too arrogant. Do you really think that you got rid of Yu Cheng and Cui Chuang, or even temporarily defeated me, so you feel that Honglou is just a loser in your eyes?" Have you become vulnerable?" He suddenly couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "If I take this sentence back, I'm afraid you won't have to wait until I can remove the poison, and you will have no bones left."
When he spoke, there was even a hint of regret in his eyes.
Gong Ziyu said calmly: "You can see that I am not joking. The Red Mansion has existed in the world for many years, and has recruited almost half of the world's killers. They hide in the darkness, and their influence can be said to be all over the world. I also know the masters of the black list. In addition to the three of you, there are seven top-notch killers, and I believe that each of them is not a simple person."
Mu Xiaoxiang sneered: "Since you already know something about Red Mansion, it's okay for me to tell you. Apart from the so-called top ten masters of the Black List, the unknown peers in Red Mansion are the most terrifying, because even I don't know very well. , how many of them are more powerful than the ten of us?"
"How could I not know this?" Gong Ziyu said calmly: "But the most terrifying thing should be the owner of the Red Mansion. It is said that although people in the world know about the black list of the Red Mansion, no one knows who the master of the Red Mansion is. Such a powerful world. I believe the leader of the organization will be another more interesting character."
Mu Xiaoxiang's eyes suddenly lit up, he paused for a moment, and then said coldly: "You have such a big appetite, do you still want to compete with the owner of the Red Mansion?"
Gong Ziyu smiled and said nothing, his expression was already the best answer.
Mu Xiaoxiang's face twitched, he looked at Gongziyu like a monster, and said: "Gongziyu, although I have to admit that you are indeed a person, but if you really want to compete with the owner of the Red Mansion, it would be too much. We are overestimating our abilities. To be honest, even among us, no one knows who the owner of the Red Mansion is, and no one in the Red Mansion has ever seen his true face. He is like the endless night, although he cannot be touched or clearly seen. , but it seems to be everywhere. Even if you look at the entire world, no one knows who he is."
Gong Ziyu suddenly laughed, and his smile was a bit nerve-wracking. Then he slowly said: "So for such an interesting person, he must have very interesting secrets, and to find out these secrets, wouldn't it be the most tempting game?"
Mu Xiaoxiang was speechless for a moment. He felt that he was already weird enough, but the person in front of him was obviously not on the same level as him.
In this arena, many people are unwilling to be targeted by the Red Mansion because they will pay the price of death. But Gong Ziyu not only refused to escape, but instead hit the knife edge. Can such a lunatic be considered a normal person?
Gong Ziyu looked at him and said, "So you must convey what I say for me."
Mu Xiaoxiang smiled strangely and said, "To be honest, now I actually appreciate your arrogance. But since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish."
"Thank you for your help." Gong Ziyu said calmly: "I hope that when I see you next time, I still have my life to bet with you."
Mu Xiaoxiang's face twitched again. He said coldly: "Then just pray that your luck will always be as good as tonight."
Gong Ziyu suddenly stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, twitched his nose vigorously, and then said with a smile: "Do you smell it? No matter how you wash it off, the smell of blood is still there."
Mu Xiaoxiang no longer wanted to speak.
Gong Ziyu glanced at him but said nothing.
He remained silent, then turned around and walked out of the alleyway.
Young Master Xiaoxiang, Mu Xiaoxiang, watched the slightly thin figure walk away, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The two of them made numerous calculations, testing and circling back and forth between life and death. Although they did not see the fierceness of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the danger in the dark was countless times more terrifying than the open sword.
Mu Xiaoxiang sat speechless, and the murderous look on his face could not help but become more solemn.
Just when Gong Ziyu stood up, the carriage under the locust tree suddenly moved.
There was no driver driving the car, but the horse pulling the cart slowly walked toward the other end of the street on its own, as if an old horse knew the way.
On the ordinary carriage at the entrance of the alley, the ordinary-looking groom was still sitting quietly. He watched the carriage under the locust tree go away, his hands flat on his legs, his face remained calm. The mountain-like momentum on his body also disappeared immediately.
The groom turned his head slightly to look at the alley again, and found that a tall and thin man had come out.
The groom seemed to exhale softly, and then he grasped the reins of the driver again.
Gong Ziyu walked to the carriage and stopped, frowning slightly, and then got on the carriage without saying a word.
The curtain fell, the groom urged the horse to turn around, and drove out of this quiet street in a leisurely manner.
No one spoke.
The carriage drove about a mile away along the sometimes lively and sometimes deserted streets. The driver's lips suddenly moved slightly, as if talking, but there was no sound.
It seems that there is a special and advanced skill in the martial arts world called "concentrating sound to form a line", and there is another saying called "sound transmission for thousands of miles".
The coachman's silent words had now reached the ears of the people in the car.
"Sir, there is a very powerful person under the locust tree. In addition to this, there are a total of nineteen experts around the alley, but now they have retreated secretly with the carriage."
There was no response from the carriage for a long time, and the coachman frowned slightly.
But at this moment, a message also sounded in his ears: "There is a letter that needs to be delivered to the nearby shopkeeper of Huitong Bank."
The groom's lips moved slightly and he replied: "Yes."
The reins shook, and the carriage couldn't help but speed up.
The horse-drawn carriage traveled through the streets and alleys of Changzhou City, speeding up and down, seemingly aimlessly wandering around. After driving for about an hour, the carriage had almost covered most of Changzhou City.
But no one will notice that there is no one in the carriage at this moment.
The groom was still driving the carriage, slowly turning into the lively market.
