Chapter 25 Second Option
In the moonlight, in the dense forest, the firelight flickered. The flickering firelight swayed in the wind, fluctuating, revealing a hint of cold taste.
In the grass, Chu Jingtian was like a frog, lying motionless, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed to a minimum.
In four hours, fourteen guards of the Seven Great Families had already died in his hands, and now this place was his eighth target.
Staring at the figure swimming back and forth more than ten meters in front of him, Chu Jingtian's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
He's been lying here for half an hour, but the guard's vigilance is unusually high, and he hasn't been able to find a chance to attack.
After another ten minutes, still unable to find a suitable opportunity, Chu Jingtian decided to leave.
He couldn't move after dawn, so he had to try to maximize his results before dawn.
He crawled back a few steps lightly, and just as Chu Jingtian was about to turn around and leave, he saw that the wandering guard walked straight towards the guard who was sleeping on the side.
"Shift change?"
Chu Jingtian's eyes lit up, and his opportunity came.
Immediately, he crawled lightly towards the place where the two of them were.
"Old Liu, wake up, it's time for your vigil!" the guard walked over and shook his sleeping companion.
"Hmm...... Lao Wang, don't push me, sleep again. The sleeping guard, that is, Lao Liu, turned over and fell asleep again.
The guard, known as Lao Wang, looked at his companion, showed a helpless expression, and then stretched out his hand and patted the guard surnamed Liu on the shoulder.
And at this moment, he suddenly felt two hands on his neck, and his heart was shocked, and he was just about to react, but he felt a pain in his neck, and he was no longer conscious.
Gently placing the body of this guard on the side, Chu Jingtian casually pulled out the long sword he held in his hand, and then came to the sleeping guard.
Looking at the guard who was still snoring, Chu Jingtian smiled slightly, gently put the long sword in his hand on his neck, and then patted the guard's face vigorously.
"I-grass, Lao Wang, you fucking ......" Because Chu Jingtian slapped harder, this guard was on fire, but he was stunned after only half of his words, because he felt a stinging pain in his neck, which was a wound cut by a sword blade.
The guard instantly sobered up, cold sweat broke out, looking at the still slightly immature face in front of him, and then at the sword blade shining with cold light on his neck, he swallowed his saliva, very wisely did not shout loudly, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
Chu Jingtian was very satisfied with the performance of this guard, smiled slightly, and said, "Answer me a few questions...... Of course, if you want to play any tricks, I think I'll have enough time to chop off your head with this sword. β
As he spoke, the sword in Chu Jingtian's hand increased a little more force, and on the guard's neck, a line of blood instantly appeared.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The guard was terrified, "Ask, I must know everything." β
"Good. Chu Jingtian smiled slightly, "......"
......
......
The next day, in the tent.
The seven masters sat opposite each other, all of them were solemn and silent, and the atmosphere in the big tent was so heavy that it was suffocating.
After a long time, Liu Yuanshan frowned and slowly spoke, "Overnight, twenty-six of us died, although they were all some low-strength guards, but if it goes on like this for a long time, it will be a big loss for our families." β
"I don't think we can go on like this, and now, everybody talks, what are we going to do?"
"What should I do? Of course, keep looking, I must find that kid and break him into pieces. Wang Xinan said at the top of his voice.
Half of the twenty-six people who died last night were from his Wang family, and now his hatred for Chu Shocking can be said to be extreme.
After listening to Wang Xin'an's words, the rest of the people looked at each other helplessly, and they all chose to ignore it.
Since Chu Jingtian was able to kill so many of them unknowingly, couldn't he leave unnoticed?
To put it mildly, they are not even sure that Chu Jingtian is not in their encirclement now, let alone find Chu Jingtian.
This point, except for Wang Xin'an, who was coarse, all the people present thought of it, which is why the atmosphere in the camp was so heavy.
They had all realized that unless Chu Jingtian took the initiative to come to them, it would be impossible for them to find it.
"Have you noticed?" Wu Jingming looked at the other six people, "Most of the twenty-six guards who died last night were in the fifth level of body refining, and there were even a few people who were at the peak of the fifth level of body refining, but these people were all killed in seconds." β
"What do you mean...... Chu Tiantian's strength?" Lin Tianpeng's eyes jumped, and he seemed to think of something.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other people in the camp changed.
Wu Jingming nodded with a heavy face, "The Chu family has been destroyed until now, and it has been less than two months in total. And more than a month ago, Chu Jingtian was only the strength of the third peak of body refining, but the strength he showed now was at least the sixth level of body refining. β
Speaking of this, the corners of Wu Jingming's mouth couldn't help twitching, and there was a hint of shock in his voice, "Could it be that Chu Jingtian's strength has been improved by three levels in more than a month?"
Hearing this, the faces of several people present couldn't help but show a look of horror, for more than a month, the strength has risen three times in a row, such an improvement speed is really terrifying!
"It seems that we still underestimated the effectiveness of the pendant. Yang Tianhao said slowly.
"Not to mention the pendant, what I'm worried about is that if Chu Jingtian is allowed to grow like this, sooner or later it will be a big problem for our henchmen. Liu Yuanshan said with a gloomy expression.
"Yes, that kid has to be eliminated. Bai Junzheng had a deep worry in his eyes.
"But the current situation is that we don't know where that kid is, and we may not be able to find it if we look for it, and if we continue to look for it, we may lose our troops. Lin Tianpeng said with some irritation.
Looking for it but not finding it, not looking for it and being unwilling, this situation really makes them a little dilemma.
"I have a solution. Liu Yuanshan had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "Since that kid is elusive, then we won't look for it ourselves." β
"What do you mean...... Blood Moon Tower?" Wu Jingming's eyes lit up.
"Yes. Liu Yuanshan nodded.
And the other few people were also in good spirits, obviously extremely confident in this Blood Moon Tower.
Blood Moon Tower, an extremely mysterious killer organization, is extremely powerful, and in any city in any country on the mainland, there will be a Blood Moon Tower. And it is even claimed that as long as the price can be afforded, there is no target that the Blood Moon Building does not dare to kill and cannot kill.
"It's a really good idea. Wu Jingming nodded, "And in this way, our people can be withdrawn, and some unnecessary damage can also be reduced." β
"But if the Blood Moon Tower makes a move, what about the pendant?" Yang Tianhao asked.
"All of the deceased's belongings belong to the employer, and at this point, the credibility of the Blood Moon Tower is still credible. And the main thing is that they don't know the purpose of the pendant, so they shouldn't give it to us. Wu Jingming explained. Obviously, he knows more about the Blood Moon Tower.
"That's fine. Yang Tianhao nodded. The reason why they went to such great lengths was for the pendant, as long as they could get the pendant, it didn't matter how they killed Chu Jingtian.
Liu Yuanshan glanced at everyone and saw that the other people did not object, so he said, "Since you all agree, then I will go to the blood moon downstairs tonight for a mission." β
"But......" Liu Yuanshan paused slightly, "The cost of this needs to be borne by the seven of us." "As far as he knows, the asking price of the Blood Moon Tower is not low.
In this regard, the other few people had no opinion, after all, Chu Jingtian was their common enemy.
......
......
In the Heavenly Jealousy Tower, Chu was stunned!
The people of the Seven Great Families actually withdrew, which was really a bit unexpected to him, he couldn't figure out that the Seven Great Families would do this suddenly.
According to the style of doing things in the Seven Great Families, they would never retreat because a few people died, so he decided that the Seven Great Families must have some kind of trick, but now he can't guess what this trick is.
"Could it be that you deliberately made a retreat and wanted to lure me out?" Chu Jingtian muttered to himself, lost in thought.
But after a while, Chu Jingtian came back to his senses and said to himself: "I can't think of the result now, let's go out and have a look at it at night, if they don't retreat, then I will continue to kill, if they really retreat, then I will ...... The second option can only be implemented. β
Night.
On top of a big tree in the dense forest, Chu Jingtian's figure appeared out of thin air.
It was dark all around, and there was no movement in the entire dense forest, except for the sound of insects and the occasional roar of wild beasts.
With a hint of vigilance in his eyes, Chu Jingtian slowly slid down from the tree and cautiously touched it in one direction.
An hour later, Chu Jingtian stood in the dense forest, his face full of doubts.
According to his investigation, he could be sure that the people of the Seven Great Families had really retreated, and he was completely confused, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Seven Great Families?
"I wanted to have a good deal with them, but now it seems that I can only implement the second plan. Chu Jingtian quickly made a decision.
According to his original plan, he wanted to use the terrain here to kill fiercely and make the Seven Great Families suffer a big loss, but now it seems that this plan will not work.
And the second plan he said was also very simple - leave immediately and go to Canglong Academy.
After last night's operation, he got a lot of useful information, including the news that Liu Ze and the four of them had gone to Canglong Academy.
He went to Canglong Academy, naturally for these four people.
With his current strength, if he wants to deal with the Seven Great Families head-on, he will be sent to death, so he can only put the target of revenge on these four people first.
However, Canglong Academy is extremely protective of its students.
In addition to strictly prohibiting students from killing each other, it is even more difficult for outsiders to enter the academy to kill people, and even if they succeed, the consequences are not something that ordinary people can bear.
It is said that there was once a strong man who surpassed the Danwu Realm and rushed into the Canglong Academy to kill a student, and afterwards, the Canglong Academy directly sent three strong men who surpassed the Danwu Realm to join forces to kill that person.
Since then, no matter how much hatred there is, no one dares to rush into Canglong Academy to kill people. And Canglong Academy is known as the safest college in the Cangwu Dynasty.
At this time, there were still more than two months before the official opening of Canglong Academy, and Chu Jingtian judged that a large part of the reason why the Seven Great Families sent Liu Ze and the four of them to Canglong Academy early was because it was safe enough.
Therefore, it is not so easy for him to deal with Liu Ze and the four people.
After a moment of silence, Chu Jingtian looked up at the stars in the night sky, and a faint mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Do you think it will be safe to run to Canglong Academy?" I will let you know how naΓ―ve and ...... this idea is Ridiculous!"
After the words fell, Chu Jingtian chose the direction and walked forward.
He believes that some rules, in the face of certain conditions, can be completely changed
