Chapter 028: Borrowing a knife to kill

Xu Zifeng is a capable general under the command of the second elder of the Ji family, and is deeply trusted and respected by the second elder, and has been managing the workshop in the eastern suburbs.

In the past, he had entered the Ji Mansion many times to report the situation of the workshop to the Second Elder.

Ji Tianxing is no stranger to Xu Zifeng, in his impression, this person is shrewd and capable, steady and knowledgeable, and it is indeed worth reusing.

But he never expected that Xu Zifeng would appear in Taiyuan Town, and sneakily trade the Ji family's Xuanbing Sword with a group of mysterious people!

"Could it be that this person is full of personal pockets and steals the Xuanbing Sword in the workshop and sells it privately?"

"That box of Xuanbing swords is worth more than a million taels...... No, I have to look into it!"

Ji Tianxing secretly clenched the Blood Dragon Sword, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light.

At this time, Xu Zifeng and the young man in black walked out of the broken temple side by side and were about to walk down the mountain.

Ji Tianxing jumped down from the treetops abruptly, and landed on the grass with a "swish", blocking the way of Xu Zifeng and the black-clothed youth.

Xu Zifeng and the young man in black were unprepared for someone falling from the sky, and they were immediately startled, staring at Ji Tianxing with a vigilant face.

After seeing Ji Tianxing's face clearly, Xu Zifeng's face suddenly changed drastically, and he stammered: "Big, big...... Why are you?"

Ji Tianxing stared at him with fierce eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Xu Zifeng! You are so bold, you dare to steal the Ji family's Xuanbing Sword and trade it privately!"

Xu Zifeng's face became extremely ugly, and he hurriedly defended: "Young Master, you have misunderstood! I am loyal to the Ji family, how can I do such a thing?"

Ji Tianxing approached him with a cold face, and said coldly again: "Misunderstanding? Okay! Then you take out the deed you just traded!"

The forging workshop under the command of the Ji family has to be accounted for every business transaction.

Any transaction worth more than 10,000 taels of silver requires a deed issued by the owner.

In particular, the box of Xuanbing swords is worth more than one million taels, and it requires a deed issued by the head of the family or the elder himself.

When Xu Zifeng heard the word "hand deed", his face suddenly became even more ugly, his eyes were dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at Ji Tianxing.

Ji Tianxing was even more convinced that there was something wrong with this transaction, so he shouted in a majestic tone: "Xu Zifeng! Young Master Ben expected that you didn't have the courage to do such a thing, and said, Who instructed you?!"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Xu Zifeng's eyes, and after glancing at the black-clothed young man, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

When he looked up at Ji Tianxing again, his face was covered with a hideous sneer.

"Big young master, since you have found out, then don't blame me for being ruthless, you forced me!"

"Kill him!"

Xu Zifeng shouted at the black-clothed young man, jumped and pounced on Ji Tianxing, grabbing Ji Tianxing's head and neck with both hands like eagle claws.

He has the dual strength of the True Yuan Realm, and in his opinion, even without a weapon, he can easily kill Ji Tianxing of the "Body Refining Realm".

The black-clothed young man also had the strength of the True Yuan Realm, and his fists flashed with a faint red light, smashing into Ji Tianxing's chest.

"Look for death!"

Ji Tianxing let out a low cry with a cold face, and instantly pulled out the Blood Dragon Sword to meet it.

"Huh!"

He slashed out a sword with all his might, forcing back the murderous Xu Zifeng.

Seeing the young man in black rushing towards him violently, he retreated sideways with a changing pace, dodging the fists of the young man in black.

When the black-clothed young man passed by him, he slapped out his palm without hesitation, urging the sword qi in the Huizong acupoint in his arm.

"Bang!"

Ji Tianxing slapped the black-clothed young man's back with a palm, and the sword qi shot out from his palm and drilled into the black-clothed youth's body.

Suddenly, the young man in black staggered forward six steps before stopping.

When he turned around and wanted to pounce on He Wuxian, his face was already pale, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and the strength of his body quickly dissipated.

"You...... You!"

The young man in black glared at Ji Tianxing with angry eyes, his face was full of disbelief, but he couldn't say a word.

His body swayed and moved, and he could no longer support it, and fell to the grass with a "poof", and gradually died of exhaustion.

Xu Zifeng saw with his own eyes that the young man in black was killed by Ji Tianxing with one palm, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and the speed of his fist attack was also a little slower.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Tianxing swung the Blood Dragon Sword again and again, stabbing several sword lights at him, aiming directly at his face, throat and chest.

Xu Zifeng was forced to be in a hurry, so he could only retreat again and again to dodge.

After seven moves, he revealed a flaw in his panic, and was immediately stabbed in the shoulder by Ji Tianxing's sword.

The invincible Blood Dragon Sword directly stabbed a blood hole in his shoulder, revealing Bai Sensen's shoulder bone.

Xu Zifeng let out a terrible scream, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Although he couldn't believe it, he had to accept a reality, Ji Tianxing's strength was definitely not the rumored Body Refining Realm, and it was very likely that he would return to the True Yuan Realm!

Thinking of this, Xu Zifeng no longer had a trace of fighting intent, jumped out two feet away, and then fled down the mountain with his shoulders covered.

But before he could escape ten zhang away, he was caught up by Ji Tianxing.

"Where to run!"

Ji Tianxing shouted angrily, rushed behind Xu Zifeng as fast as the wind, shook his hand and stabbed him in the back with a sword, and stabbed him to the ground on the spot.

Before Xu Zifeng could struggle to get up, Ji Tianxing stepped on his shoulder, trampled him on the ground, and pressed the blood dragon sword against his neck.

"Say, who told you to do it?!"

Xu Zifeng was pressed on the grass and couldn't move, knowing that he was in danger, he actually showed a hideous sneer.

"Hehehe...... I really didn't expect that Young Master Ji was hiding so deeply!"

"However, you want to ask for clues from me?"

As he spoke, his breath became weaker and weaker, and red blood continued to gush out of his mouth and nose.

After a short moment, he closed his eyes and was silent.

Ji Tianxing hurriedly turned him over and probed his pulse, only to find that he had broken his heart and died.

"Damn! He would rather die than let go! Who made him a dead soldier and risk his life so much?"

Ji Tianxing withdrew the Blood Dragon Sword with a gloomy face and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Xu Zifeng's suicide cast a haze over his heart, and he felt more and more that this matter was very important.

If this matter is directly related to his second uncle, I am afraid that it will endanger the foundation of the Ji family!

He rummaged through the bodies of Xu Zifeng and the young man in black again, trying to see if he could find clues.

It's a pity that the two of them only have some broken silver and sundries, and there are no useful clues.

Ji Tianxing sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to leave the broken temple and go down the mountain.

A quarter of an hour later, when he descended to the foot of the mountain, two more figures came out of the ruined temple.

The leader is a young man in a green robe, with a tall and heroic figure and an extraordinary temperament, it is Ji Hao.

The middle-aged man who followed him, dressed as a guard, wearing black leather armor and carrying a sword.

The middle-aged man glanced at the two corpses not far away, and said with a gloomy face: "Young Master Hao, this matter has been discovered by the eldest young master, what should we do......?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Ji Hao frowned, and said with a gloomy face: "If we make a move, no matter how hidden things are, they will eventually leave traces, and it is far better to kill people with a knife." ”

"This is Yunzhou, the territory of the Gu family. Although Gu Xizhi, the assassin of Yunzhou, was far away in the imperial city, I remembered that Gu Hao's biological mother lived in Chuiyun City, which was hundreds of miles away. ”

"When I released the news to the Gu family, I said that Ji Tianxing had come to Taiye Town and was going into the mountains to look for Red Star Flower. I think Gu Hao's mother will not let go of this opportunity to avenge her son!"

"In addition, remember to remind the Gu family that Ji Tianxing's strength seems to have recovered to the True Yuan Realm. ”
