Under the mask of the grim-faced man, there was still an intact face. Instead, there was a blur of flesh and blood.
Gu Beichuan frowned when he saw it and began to examine it carefully.
After checking, Gu Beichuan discovered such an injury.
It is estimated that it can only be caused by stamping it with a red-hot iron while the face is still intact.
That kind of pain is unbearable.
In major film and television dramas of later generations, it is often a method used by killer organizations to prevent the killer from revealing his identity.
Therefore, the man with the grimace is a member of a certain killer organization.
Thinking of this, Gu Beichuan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary feud. After killing the man with the grimace, there would be no further trouble and there would be no need to worry anymore.
But if you are targeted by a killer organization, it will not be so easy to escape.
I'm afraid that I have to be vigilant at all times, and even the people around me may be in danger.
This is the poisonous snake hiding in the dark, dangerous and deadly.
Gu Beichuan's face looked grim, but now was obviously not the time to think about this.
Li Dongbi's condition is still unknown, so he has to rush over to help.
After pulling out the long knife that was nailed to the man with the grimace, Gu Beichuan frowned. After a fierce battle, the blade was somewhat damaged, full of scratches, and the blade also had several holes.
Obviously, after comprehending a hint of the charm of sword art, ordinary swords could no longer satisfy Gu Beichuan's daily use.
After all, this is the condition for promotion to the True Qi Realm, and it still has some gold content.
In the future, when Gu Beichuan's internal energy is sufficient, he will be able to naturally turn his internal energy into true energy. With accumulated accumulation, he can step into the true energy realm in one fell swoop!
Instead of being stuck in the martial arts charm for many years at the peak of his inner strength like other inner strength realms.
Speaking of which, it can't be said to be the first time for Gu Beichuan to comprehend the charm of martial arts before reaching the peak of his internal strength, but even in the huge martial arts world, it can be said to be rare.
It can be seen that his understanding is indeed extraordinary.
Gu Beichuan immediately threw away the long knife and took the ghost-faced man's knife into his own. He also found a secret book of sword techniques from the other party - the Ghost Knife. He also took it away. Then he ignored him and took the knife to find it. Li Dongbi.
After searching for a short time, I found Li Dongbi who was recovering from his injuries not far away.
Next to it, there was a corpse also wearing a mask.
However, what is drawn on this mask is no longer a ghost face, but an iceberg!
When Gu Beichuan saw this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How is it? Are you okay?"
After finishing the treatment, Li Dongbi stood up, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."
"He is indeed a master, but it's a pity that the cold energy in his body has been completely overcome by my pure Yang meridian."
"That's good. Have you seen their martial arts moves? Do you know who they are?"
When Li Dongbi heard this, he smiled bitterly: "They are all some sinister and treacherous martial arts methods, but I have never seen them before."
"But in my opinion, it should come from some killer organization."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "As I guessed, if we are targeted by such an organization, we are afraid that we will be in big trouble."
When Li Dongbi heard this, his expression gradually became ugly.
The most terrifying thing about the killer organization is that they always hide in the dark, like poisonous snakes waiting for opportunities, waiting for your weakest moment, and then come out to give you a fatal blow!
"What to do with these two corpses? The soldiers in charge of the curfew will come later. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain." Li Dongbi asked.
Gu Beichuan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "This body cannot be handed over to the soldiers. This is the only clue we can trace to the killer organization, and it should be firmly held in our hands."
"In this case, don't go to the Huo Mansion tonight."
"You go back immediately with the two bodies, buy ice, and seal them up."
"As soon as the treatment for Mr. Huo is over, we will immediately start investigating the matter."
Hearing this, Li Dongbi couldn't help but nodded: "Then you go to Huo Mansion alone, remember to be careful."
"Well, the other party probably won't take action again until they get news from these two people. For now, we should be safe in the short term."
Hearing this, Li Dongbi thought it made sense, so he stopped talking and left quickly dragging the body of the man in the iceberg mask.
Gu Beichuan also tidied up his appearance, pretended that nothing happened, and walked towards Huo Mansion.
This time, when Gu Beichuan arrived, the door of Huo Mansion was not closed, but open.
The old housekeeper stood by the door and paced back and forth, as if he was very anxious.
After seeing Gu Beichuan, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Sir, you are finally here!"
Seeing the other party's appearance, Gu Beichuan suddenly had concerns in his heart.
It is estimated that Huo Qiji was infected with bacterial pneumonia. After taking allicin, his symptoms should have been somewhat relieved in the past few days.
The old housekeeper wanted to say something more, but Gu Beichuan looked around to make sure there was no one around, then shook his head and said, "Go inside and talk."
When the old housekeeper heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Only then did he notice the injury on Gu Beichuan's left arm. He felt a chill in his heart and had a premonition that something was not going to happen, so he hurriedly welcomed Gu Beichuan in.
Deep in the Huo Mansion, as expected, Huo Qiji's condition had improved significantly compared to last time.
I can even get out of bed and walk. Although I still cough, the frequency has decreased.
The most commendable thing is that his face has turned a bit rosy and is no longer pale and bloodless.
After seeing Gu Beichuan, he changed his previous attitude and became respectful.
"Sir, at first it was Huo who was blind to Mount Tai. I hope you won't blame him." Huo Qiji bowed his hands.
Gu Beichuan shook his head: "You don't have to be like this, Lord Marquis. My coming here this time is just a matter of loyalty and entrustment."
Huo Qiji straightened up and took a few deep breaths. It was obvious that even bending down slightly, cupping his hands and making a bow, it was still a bit difficult for him now.
"That's wrong. Although you were entrusted by others, you saved Huo's life after all. In this way, I have accepted your great kindness!"
"Sir, you can care less about this kindness, but I can't! Otherwise, what's the difference between you and that ungrateful person?"
When the symptoms began to improve, Huo Qiji's inner excitement was indescribable.
Because this means that he has another chance to fight on the battlefield and regain the glory of his father's generation!
There is a chance to realize your long-cherished wish!
He doesn't want to die! I don’t want to die more than anyone else!
But if there is nothing left to do, there is nothing wrong with pretending to be more relaxed.
But now there is hope! His tenacious will to survive began to burst out, coupled with the effectiveness of allicin, the combination of the two pulled him back from the door of death.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, his evaluation of Huo Qiji couldn't help but improve to a higher level.
It seems that this person does have some abilities, and is not just relying on the shadow of his father's generation.
"By the way, sir, how did you get this injury?" Huo Qiji asked, looking at Gu Beichuan's bandaged left arm.
