Chapter 17: Bloody Plunder
The current situation is extremely critical, as long as there is a slight accident, Yan Zheng's red yarn Bodhi will be exposed, it stands to reason that Yan Zheng used to help in the kitchen with knives and flames a lot of frequency, but he relied on more attention and caution, as much as possible not to accidentally get injured, to avoid being seen as a clue, but now this black shadow is obviously murderous against him, as long as he is a killer, then Yan Zheng's red yarn Bodhi is bound to be exposed, which will not only make all the work done before in vain, It will put him in an extremely dangerous situation.
The consequences of exposure are also obvious, the strength of this black shadow far exceeds him, if he finds out that he is carrying red yarn Bodhi, he will definitely do his best to take him away and bring him back to the Luo family, and that red yarn Bodhi is something that the Luo family has coveted for many years, after catching Yan Zheng, he will definitely use all means to strip the red yarn Bodhi from his body, and when that time comes, he will completely lose all dependence, and be eliminated by the Luo family like crushing an ant.
Even if he pretends to fake his death now and escapes, he will be subjected to the endless pursuit of the Luo family if he is found in the future, he is a nobody with no background, and he doesn't even have a place to hide, and there is a high probability that he will have to hide in Tibet like a lost dog for the rest of his life, Yan Zheng suddenly came up with an idea that scared him, because it is actually very simple to end this situation, that is, to uproot the Luo family and get rid of all the people who know Luo Tianchen's secret mission and the red yarn Bodhi, so as to completely stop the further spread of the red yarn Bodhi, but with Yan Zheng's current strength, it's just a fool's dream, if he wants to bring down the Luo family, he has to become a monk first.
The black shadow slightly let go of the hand that was holding Yan Zheng's throat and asked, "During the fifty-seventh exploration operation, did the young family master take you somewhere else?" ”
"The deputy commander said that he was going to carry out a reconnaissance mission, so he led us to break away from the large army and go deeper into the dark realm." Yan Zheng replied honestly, needless to say, he also knew that the young family master in the mouth of the black shadow was Luo Tianchen, it seemed that the Luo family was indeed prepared, they were able to be sure that Yan Zheng knew Luo Tianchen and participated in this secret mission.
"What happened to you after that, why didn't there be the body of the young master there?" The dark shadow continued.
The question asked by the black shadow is very interesting, it seems that he has a strong tracking ability, but he is not a good hand at interrogation, his question revealed two key information to Yan Zheng, one is that some time ago, the Luo family had sent a team to look for the area where the red yarn Bodhi was located again, but found nothing, after all, Yan Zheng had completely destroyed and buried the tree.
The second is that the team sent by the Luo family did not get any useful information at the scene, and even Luo Tianchen's body was not found, and there is a high probability that the corpses at the scene were eaten by other demon beasts, so this means that the Luo family was forced to come to Yan Zheng when they could not obtain effective information from the dark realm, and with the power of the Luo family, they would definitely not be able to get the testimony of supervising the imperial history, so the actual situation of the secret operation still depends on Yan Zheng's words.
Yan Zheng frowned, and replied while recalling: "The deputy capital commander led us deep into a forest, at first everything was relatively smooth, but then we broke into an area with a large number of demon beasts entrenched, I don't know why, those demon beasts behaved extremely bloodthirsty, launched a crazy attack on us, although the deputy capital led us to resist desperately, but still outnumbered, I was thrown out by a python-like demon beast, and fainted directly, Before I fell unconscious, I saw an octopus-like demon beast firmly entangled the vice-capital, and then I don't know what happened after that, and when I woke up again, the surrounding demon beasts were gone......"
"Did you wake up and see anything special, such as a strange tree or a strange fruit?"
The dark shadow interrupted Yan Zheng's narration, he was not interested in how Yan Zheng returned safely, and only wanted to know more about the covert operation.
"No, I didn't see anything special when I woke up, if I did, I would have remembered." Yan Zheng replied very cooperatively.
It seems that knowing these is enough, Yan Zheng's words don't sound like a problem, the black shadow thought to himself, after all, the secret investigation conducted by the Luo family in the previous stage did not achieve any results, but it lost several good hands in the dark realm, and the secret mission of the young family master must have failed because of the siege of powerful demon beasts, and the rumors that leaked before only showed that the reason for the failure of the fifty-seventh exploration operation was because of the encounter with the devouring crocodile, which had nothing to do with the secret mission.
This survivor Yan Zheng can only be said to have taken shit luck, looking at his own strength, at best, he can only be regarded as a slightly stronger ordinary person, there is nothing special, and naturally he has lost his use value, and the head of the family has also explained when he comes, it is best to be able to ask about Luo Tianchen and Hongsha Bodhi from his mouth, if he can't ask, then in order not to expose the secret mission, the killer will be eliminated forever.
Thinking of this, the black shadow's hand that grabbed Yan Zheng's throat suddenly forced, directly crushing Yan Zheng's throat bone, and at the same time, a long knife with condensed shadows in the boundless darkness suddenly stabbed out from Yan Zheng's back, directly penetrating his chest, warm blood gushed out, Yan Zheng's expression was full of disbelief, he spurted out a large mouthful of blood from his mouth, the broken throat bone deprived him of the power to speak, and could only make a faint grunt from his throat, he fell to the ground, and the blood under his body spread outward, hurt to this extent, No panacea will save it.
The black shadow raised his hand casually, the long knife with condensed shadows and the wolf shadow around Yan Zheng's corpse returned to the boundless darkness, in order to successfully infiltrate the eighth guard, he deliberately put on the shadow devouring cloak rewarded by the head of the family, covering all the breath, after finding Yan Zheng, he was also extra careful, wrapping the entire canteen in the dark, so that the voice never leaked, now that the task has been completed and he can go back to his life, he should also leave as soon as possible.
The black shadow no longer paid attention to Yan Zheng's corpse, which was gradually becoming stiff, and the boundless darkness began to gather towards him, but suddenly, a sound of breaking wind sounded behind him without warning.
"Broken—steel!"
With an angry shout, Yan Zheng's raised right leg was like an indestructible battle axe slashing at the black shadow's right shoulder, this kick almost exhausted Yan Zheng's full strength, his entire right leg skin cracked because it couldn't withstand the too strong force, and the bones were broken inch by inch under the strong countershock, but such an attack also achieved remarkable results, because the black shadow relaxed his vigilance, the distance between the two was extremely close, Yan Zheng shot without warning, this kick hit the black shadow's right shoulder firmly, His right shoulder was visibly deflated, presumably from the scapula, which was kicked to pieces.
Scarlet blood qi seeped out of the wound, quickly repairing Yan Zheng's injuries intact, not giving the black shadow any respite, Yan Zheng's heavy punches had come one after another, the black shadow stood up with his arms to block, but was beaten back a few steps by this punch, obviously it was exactly the same broken steel as just now, but the power was even stronger, the tide of scarlet blood qi set off waves in Yan Zheng's body, and the meridians of his whole body were immediately destroyed and quickly rebuilt, providing him with a steady stream of strength, Let Yan Zheng burst out with an attack comparable to that of a Jade Void Cultivator with just his physical body.
If Lao Lu saw this scene, he would definitely say that Yan Zheng is a madman, for normal people, it will break the skin and flesh if it is used once, in Yan Zheng's place, it is like an ordinary attack, and he doesn't need to use it like money, his body is experiencing tearing pain, but his mind is extremely clear, with the fact that he is carrying a red yarn Bodhi is completely exposed, the roles of the two have been completely reversed, and the black shadow does not even need to risk being discovered by the eighth guard to kill Yan Zheng, he just needs to quickly flee and report back to the Luo family, But for Yan Zheng, he must not let the black shadow leave at this time, and he must be allowed to die here.
"You kid, you have such a deep heart, you can hide from the world and secretly take the red yarn Bodhi for yourself!"
The black shadow was also shocked and angry, not only was he almost deceived by Yan Zheng, but now he was suppressed quite embarrassed by his recovery power of the red yarn Bodhi, obviously the rough and inferior steel breaking trick actually exerted great power in Yan Zheng's hands, as a monk, he was slightly insufficient for the exercise of his own body, and it was difficult to get out of Yan Zheng's close entanglement for a while, and Yan Zheng's style of play was disorderly, that is, to highlight a fatal, as the saying goes, punch the master to death, and now the black shadow has become this unlucky master.
"It's just a mortal, don't get too far into it!"
The black shadow was annoyed and angry, and the Demon Shadow Heart Devouring Spell was launched with all its might, and the ink-black aura floated out from his seven orifices, forming a solid darkness that shook Yan Zheng away, and then countless dark wolf shadows emerged from the darkness, they opened their mouths full of fangs, and tore towards Yan Zheng, but Yan Zheng did not dodge or dodge, allowing these wolf shadows to tear off the flesh and skin on his body, he continued to attack against the wolf shadow, and continued to rush towards the black shadow, wanting to kill the black shadow, his advantage was only melee combat, if he was pulled away, He was an ordinary person who was no match for a Jade Void Realm cultivator at all, and even if he had an immortal body, it would only increase his suffering.
Yan Zheng didn't know how many times he had been bitten by the wolf shadow, and by the time he broke through the wave of wolf shadows and came to the black shadow, the whole person had completely lost his appearance and turned into a bloody man, but he still raised his fist and blasted towards the black shadow, and the long knife of shadow condensation suddenly stabbed out from the darkness, cutting off Yan Zheng's arm, but his movements still did not stop, and he attacked the black shadow fiercely.
The black shadow felt a chill in his lower abdomen, but it was not a blade that hurt him, but Yan Zheng's severed arm bone.
