At dusk.

The sky was dark and the brightness was quite low.

The lights in the city lit up one after another, and the light generated by spiritual energy brought colorful colors to this giant city with a population of nearly 10 million.

These man-made brilliances are the most stunning sight to behold during the five or six days of the month when the sky is at its darkest.

In the brilliance, an almost transparent afterimage, at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye, shuttled and flashed, getting closer and closer to a luxurious mansion in the west of the city.

……

Zhang's house.

In a study in the back house.

Under the illumination of the ceiling psionic light, a middle-aged man in a green coat stood in the room with his back hand, facing the miniature sand table in front of him, his brows tightly twisted.

He was preoccupied, or paced back and forth, thinking of a solution to an unusually difficult matter.

How to stop the constant infiltration of immortals?

Yes.

With the rapid development of Zhenlin City, the infiltration of various forces into Zhenlin City has reached an extremely serious level in recent years.

Either a Lingyuan cannon was lost in the arsenal today, or a certain workshop lost equipment drawings and secret recipes tomorrow, three of Zhou Ming's stand-ins were assassinated, and more than 100 scientists were kidnapped.

is a high-powered head of Zhenlin City, who has been murdered three times in recent years.

Without exception, it was all done by immortals.

Among these immortals, there are even a few ancestors in the god stage.

They treat Zhenlincheng as their own backyard, taking whatever they like and whatever they like.

Don't say hello or hand over a single spirit coin.

After succeeding, he basically fled without a trace.

Zhenlin City suffered heavy losses, but there was no way to effectively contain it.

Zhou Ming had to let people announce: If an immortal dares to kill the people in Zhenlin City after stealing, if it is found that the immortal is from that sect or a specific person, Zhenlin City will dispatch the Lingyuan warship to completely destroy someone's sect behind it!

If you can't find out from that sect, Zhenlin City will issue an "Immortal Slaughter Order" to kill all the immortals within the Zhongyuan Continent (Zhongyuan Continent, the place names within a radius of 100,000 miles)!

This warning, the effect is somewhat, the power of the Lingyuan warship, many sects have heard of it a little, quite fearful, claiming that one can destroy a medium-sized sect, and one shot can kill the ancestor of the god stage.

Lingyuan warships, how many ships have been built in Zhenlin City, and the forces of all parties are not very clear, so they dare not offend to death.

As for the scattered cultivation immortals, they can steal and kill people without any scruples, but Zhenlin City has a "slashing immortal team" with a number of 8 people, and all the members are immortals who have cultivated in the Gudan period, and the scattered cultivation forces with elite equipment and less than three people want to steal in Zhenlin City, once they are discovered, the end is predictable.

Even so, even if various countermeasures are taken, if an immortal enters the city or sneaks into the industrial area, he can basically return with a full load.

If it weren't for Zhou Ming's timely transfer of the most important part of the industry to a mysterious base in the Feiyun Mountain Realm a few years ago, the loss would have been even greater.

He shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Who would have thought that a high-ranking immortal would be able to do this kind of stealing and stealing things, run to the mortal city, and become a professional thief?"

"This is indeed the best way to deal with Zhenlin City, and it is impossible for the monk group to aim the muzzle of the Lingyuan cannon at the dense houses and the immortals fleeing in the crowd. ”

"These means, the annual losses to Zhenlin City, exceed hundreds of millions of spirit coins. ”

"The economic damage is secondary, and the worst impact is the kidnapping of senior scientists, the assassination of high-ranking figures. ”

"Even my stand-ins were killed three, I hid every day and didn't dare to show up, I couldn't preside over a lot of work, and I fell into passive ...... more and more"

"And some forces have the momentum of not killing me and vowing not to give up, and even sent a long-term squatting ancestor in Zhenlin City......"

"How can this be?"

Thinking of this question, Zhou Ming's head felt a burst of pain.

"Zhang Shanhe, it turns out that you are here. ”

A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

This voice made Zhou Ming a little dazed, his thoughts were interrupted, and he turned his head to look back, and a woman in white with purple eyes and red lips was standing behind him.

"You ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth to ask who she was, there was an extra hand around his neck, and with a slight force, his feet were lifted off the ground and hung in the air.

The hand that held itself was white and without a single blemish, but the nails were long, embedded in the flesh, and sharp as a knife's edge.

A feeling of suffocation came, and the whole body was also imprisoned, and if he wanted to run the martial arts, the spirit yuan in his body did not move at all.

I wanted to call for help, but I couldn't shout half a syllable.

I sighed in my heart, it's over, this time it's estimated to be over.

There was another sigh in my ears:

"I haven't seen you for twenty years, that young and handsome you are gone, you have become a rough black bad old man, ugly, really ugly!"

"I was thinking about whether I was going to torture you and give you another pleasure, but now it seems that there is no need for this, old and ugly people, it is better to die early. ”

"Zhang Shanhe, die!"

Looking at the man in his hand, Jiang Ruonan, who was extremely lost, pinched his hand more and more.

"Wait... etc......"

Zhou Ming, who felt that his life was really about to hang up, still spit out two words at the last moment.

Jiang Ruonan was unmoved, pinched for a while, and saw that the man rolled his eyes, his breath became weaker and weaker, and he felt that killing him like this seemed to be a little too cheap for him, at least he had to torture for a while.

She let go of her hand, put the man down, and gave him another sigh of relief.

"Cough~cough~cough!"

Zhou Ming coughed desperately, and he heard the system prompt "The character is in a near-death state, whether to quit the dungeon" just now, and it took him a while to recover.

"Jiang Ruonan, why did you want to kill me?"

He asked the woman in front of him, "I ask myself if there is nothing to be sorry for you, why do you want to take my life as soon as we meet?"

"Why should I kill you?"

Jiang Ruonan laughed "giggles" for a while, and suddenly smashed his chest with his bare hands, and inserted it into his chest at the moment when he couldn't dodge.

"Ahh

A sharp pain struck, and Zhou Ming found that after a hand pierced his chest, he held his heart, and only by pinching it hard, he would die of heartbreak......

secretly said in his heart: This woman is so ruthless!

"You're so smart that you even asked me why I killed you?"

She said with a cold face, and then looked intoxicated: "Tsk, I really want to take out this heart and see if it is red or black, or not a heart at all, but a stone." ”

The nail at the end of her index finger scraped one after another on her heart, and her five fingers were gently wrapped, as if she really wanted to dig out her heart.

Zhou Ming didn't dare to breathe, and in the unspeakable pain, he felt his weakness for the first time.

For the first time, I was deeply aware of the importance of individual strength.

Especially in this world, the stronger you are, the freer!

"This game, it's almost okay here, the seeds of science have been sown, and the benefits of utensils have been taken seriously, even if I am suddenly absent, I will continue to move forward. ”

"So, let's die, let's die, match a qualified person in the next game, work hard to cultivate, keep breaking through, and strive to become an immortal and a saint in terms of cultivation!"

Thinking of this, he silently closed his eyes.

"Huh~"

Looking at him like this, the playful smile on Jiang Ruonan's face froze there, and it became very ugly, "What, aren't you afraid of dying? Why don't you struggle, I'm still waiting for you to beg me not to kill you?"

Zhou Ming shook his head: "Don't play anymore, if you want to kill me, you will still kill me no matter what I say." Instead of that, you better give me a good time, and if you want to see my heart, you can take it out and take a look. ”

With that, he closed his eyes again.

"Hehe, I didn't cheapen you so easily!"

Jiang Ruonan pulled out the hand inserted in his chest, licked the blood on his nails, and his eyes emitted a bewitching light: "This sweet and hot blood, I won't let it drain easily." ”

She took some measures to stop the bleeding, blocked several arteries that had lost a lot of blood, and leaned into his ear and said: "You are always self-righteous, you always think that you know everything in this world, you always think that everything will develop in the direction you envision, and you always think that everything is in your hands......"

"Do you think I owe you a favor and won't come back to kill you?"

Her expression became solemn and said: "Zhang Shanhe, I'll give you one last chance, and you can answer this question yourself: I, Jiang Ruonan, why did I kill you?"

"If you get the answer right, I can spare your life!"

"If you answer incorrectly, I will take your life!"

"Give you half a moment, give me an answer right away!"

Her words, which didn't seem like a joke, made Zhou Ming's expression froze and he began to turn his brain.

Why did Jiang Ruonan kill him?

What did she do to make her so resentful?

Could it be that it was the shot that hit the Netherworld Ancestor so hard that he didn't consider her safety?

No, it shouldn't be that simple, because Jiang Ruonan was not very resentful, but after killing the Netherworld Ancestor, she was relieved and became a lot happier.

What she minds is that she has a lukewarm attitude towards her, and repeated expulsions.

It's just that with her cheekiness, does she really mind?

Shaking his head, Zhou Ming said:

"I really don't know, if it was because I drove you out of Zhenlin City and made you angry, I can only say sorry, at that time I was not enough to protect myself, if I have enough ability, why should I drive you? If I have a hundred years, I will protect you for a hundred years, but at that time, I really don't have that ability. ”

"So, you'd better do it. ”

Jiang Ruonan nodded, slowly pulled out the thin sword at his waist, and said:

"I killed you, not because you were expelled from me, but because you can't be like other men, willing to die to protect me!"

"The men all died trying to protect me. All the people who wanted to help me Jiang Ruonan took their lives to help. ”

"You regard your life as more important than my Jiang Ruonan's life!"

"This is the most damn place for you!"

"That's why I'm going to kill you!"

"So, go die!"

Jiang Ruonan stabbed his sword at the big hole in Zhou Ming's chest.
