Volume 1: The Sword Rises in the East Chapter 40: There is danger, you go first
"The Heavenly Demon relies on eating animals or people's hearts to grow rapidly, and according to the villagers, it is indeed very similar to the Heavenly Demon," Su Jia said with a smile, "But in my opinion, these are just means to cover people's ears." β
"Not a Heavenly Demon?"
Gu Ming's heart trembledβif it wasn't for the Heavenly Demon's doing, there was only one possibility......
Artificial!
Spirits and beasts hunt their prey and never just devour their hearts.
However, why is this person so mad that he would use such cruel means to mutilate his compatriots?
"Never underestimate your kind, there are times when the human heart is more terrifying than demons."
Su Jia sighed: "Although the human race is naturally weak, it has a mind that is a hundred times stronger than the demon, and there are countless secret methods that have been studied over thousands of years, although I don't know the purpose of this person's trip, but if I guess correctly, this is also part of his implementation of the secret method." β
Gu Ming broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.
Just to perform the secret method, he did not hesitate to kill countless living beings, and even attacked children, how mad is this person?
What is the difference between this behavior and Gu Yuntao's behavior of killing his father, colluding with outsiders, and betraying the clan?
Humane demons are terrifying, and demons know that people are poisonous......
"Don't make a noise yet, we'll wait and see," Suga muttered, "and by evening everything will be known." β
β¦β¦
The day is fleeting, and the night falls, but there is no movement.
Except for Gu Ming, Xin Ning and the others had been waiting for a long time, nodding frequently, and they regretted taking the task for a while.
On the other hand, Gu Ming, instead of complaining, also regarded this time as his precious time to improve "Jade Tiger Song".
But just when the thundercloud was about to take shape, the young man suddenly came to Gu Ming's side and patted him.
"Dude, I remember your name is Gu Ming, right?"
Gu Ming opened his eyes suspiciously.
In the morning in the sect, this guy still mocked one by one, screaming so unhappy, how would he change his words?
Without waiting for Gu Ming to be puzzled, he handed over the identity card in a proper manner: "I am a famous general of the dynasty, Li Lei, the son of General Li Xiao, I collided in the sect today, and I hope that my brother will have a lot of Haihan!" β
As he spoke, he also took out a bottle of high-grade Xuandan, which was in the hands of Gu Ming.
But how could Gu Ming be so easy to get caught, clenched his fists, and didn't mean anything to take: "What do you want to say?" β
"Brother Gu, if you go straight, you will suffer in our sect."
Li Lei had no choice but to take back the pill with a smile: "It's not a secret, I've been pursuing Miss Xinling for a long time, and I know that she was personally promised to you by the sect master, but can you ......?"
"I have never had a marriage contract with Xin Ning, and the sect master only ordered her to temporarily lead me to familiarize myself with the sect," Gu Ming interrupted righteously: "If you want to say, let me not interfere in the affairs between you and Xin Ning, you can rest assured, if Xin Ning likes you, I will naturally not have any words." β
"Gotcha! The junior brother is fast, and it's really refreshing! Li Lei was very happy: "But Senior Brother Gu Ming, I want to say more than this. β
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Xin Ning, and whispered: "I saw it in the sect just now, you are more powerful than me and Xin Ning, if there is really any crisis in a while, I want to invite my junior brother...... Take the lead in resisting, this is also to prevent Xin Ling from getting hurt. β
Gu Ming smiled coldly - the feeling is that he wants to use himself as a gunman.
But it's really not unreasonable - he is now a fifth-fold Moyun, and he has practiced "Jade Tiger Song" with a half-understanding, and his strength is stronger than Xin Ning and Li Lei, who only have the peak of imperial qi.
Even if Li Lei doesn't say it, he will take the initiative to go up to face the crisis.
Just when Gu Ming wanted to agree, a gust of wind swept in, and the dilapidated paper window was blown to crackle!
The cold wind poured into the hut violently, and the three of them shuddered, and Xin Ning hurriedly took out the talisman and lit it, forming a small golden barrier in an instant, isolating the cold air.
"It's the Heavenly Demon who has started to act!" Li Lei sat up and looked at Gu Ming.
Gu Ming didn't say much, and took the initiative to get up.
"Senior brother, I'll go with you!" Xin Ning immediately wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Li Lei.
"Don't worry, Miss Xinling, Senior Brother Gu Ming can do it."
Xin Ning was stunned for a moment, and was surprised how the relationship between Li Lei and Gu Ming suddenly eased.
turned his head, but saw that Gu Ming had already disappeared.
β¦β¦
As soon as he went out, Gu Ming felt that the cold air dissipated into the distance.
I don't know if I was afraid of him, or if I was deliberately attracted to him.
"Auntie, are you chasing?"
"Why don't you chase the credit that came to the door? You don't have to be so cautious about everything, you are stronger than you think you are. Suga laughed.
Gu Ming no longer hesitated, spread his legs and chased after the cold air far away.
Although the cold was extremely fast, Gu Ming did not chase with all his might, firstly, to save physical strength and deal with possible crises; Second, if something happens, he can quickly return the same way to protect the other villagers.
But just when Gu Ming's wishful thinking was sounding, a child's figure suddenly appeared in front of him!
"Beware!"
There were clues that the child was killed before, how dare Gu Ming be careless! Immediately cast the Moyun trick, burst out with terrifying speed, and picked up the child first!
Then, he showed his bone sword and was about to go to war.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, there was a sudden stinging pain in the skin.
When I looked down, I saw that the child in my arms had turned into a puppet covered in poison at some point!
Distraction!
Gu Ming hurriedly dropped the puppet, but it was too late, the venom had already invaded the skin, making a terrifying sound of "hiss".
The hairs on the surface of the skin have long since died, and the skin has also turned black!
"The young master really has a clever plan, I know that your kid is kind-hearted, and he is very easy to deceive!"
Suddenly, a few ridicules came, the cold air dissipated, and turned into several figures to surround Gu Ming.
There are four people, one according to the divine realm, and three at the peak of the imperial qi.
Even though they were wearing night clothes, the sharp-eyed Gu Ming still recognized them at a glance - they were the followers who followed Li Lei when he received the task!
Suddenly, Gu Ming understood the truth about Li Lei's change of attitude!
How could a gentleman like him suddenly succumb and be respectful to himself.
No wonder he had to talk bitterly and persuade himself to "go first if there is danger".
It was to lure him out so that he could be dealt with!
"Originally, you stayed in the sect obediently, and you could still get the protection of the door rules, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to go on a mission with the young master, since you want to die so much, then it will fulfill you!"
Gu Ming was not afraid, but sneered: "Just this person, how can you be sure that you can take me?" β
"Don't forget the poison on your hands!" One of the disciples laughed and said, "Once that venom is stained, it will quickly corrode your muscles, bones, skin and flesh, which is equivalent to directly destroying your arm!" Lose an arm, I'll see how you ...... with us"
Unexpectedly, before the last word "fight" was spoken, the man was speechless.
A moment later, the man fell straight back, but his face still had the expression of laughter!
And Gu Ming was already standing behind him!
The rest of the people panicked: "Quick, don't talk nonsense with him, let's go together!" β
The three swords stabbed at Gu Ming in unison, but Gu Ming just thought about it, the bone sword retracted, and the white light flickered.
The next moment, the weapons of the three of them broke in unison!
"How is that possible! This is a mid-grade Xuan......"
Swish!
Without waiting for the three of them to be surprised, there were two more "pops", and the two imperial qi martial artists fell to the ground in response, leaving only the martial artist of the divine realm, as soon as he turned his head, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower body, and he cried in pain and called his mother!
"How is that possible...... You're all poisoned...... How could it be ......"
"Poison?" Gu Ming sneered and raised his arm and clenched his fists.
Suddenly, the venom is automatically discharged from the arm under the squeezing of the pores!
Before the man could be shocked, a slap covered his face and pressed him to the trunk of the tree!
"Say, who ordered you to come and kill me?!"
