Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle of Hodan

This dagger is first and foremost ordinary, and naturally it is impossible to insert it into Zhang Feiyang's chest.

Because, after knowing that Huo Dan had a murderous intention towards himself, Zhang Feiyang didn't dare to take off the fire fox skin for a moment.

However, this dagger is a magic weapon, and the whole body is full of ghostly light, and it is actually Xiang Dong's magic weapon, a heart-destroying dagger.

The moment he saw the heart-destroying dagger inserted into his chest, Zhang Feiyang understood everything in an instant, and finally knew why Huo Dan had to kill himself.

At the same time, he also understood why Huo Dan had resisted public opinion not long ago, as if out of kindness to himself, he gave the place of the alchemy disciple to himself, instead of others.

All of this is a plot by Hodan.

Ever since Huo Dan learned of Xiang Dong's death, he had already planned everything.

Zhang Feiyang stared at Huo Dan in disbelief, he never expected that this benefactor, who had helped him during the selection of disciples outside, would treat him so viciously.

"It turns out that you are trying to swallow Senior Brother Xiang's heart-destroying dagger for your own!" Zhang Feiyang was sweating profusely, trembling all over, enduring the pain, and exclaimed.

He glared at Hodan fiercely, holding Hodan's hand with both hands, trying to stop the Heartbreaker from stabbing further, but there was nothing he could do.

The magic weapon of the Heartbreaker Dagger is not just as sharp as being able to cut iron like mud, it has a unique penchant for the heart of the target point, once it pierces the flesh, it does not need the user to exert any strength, it will naturally stab the target's heart, until the target's heart is pierced out of a hole in the front and back, and it will not stop.

Although Zhang Feiyang was wearing a fire fox skin, he still had no way to resist the Heart-Destroying Dagger that was fully activated by the magic weapon's special effects, but he was able to resist a few more breaths, just like the Dao robe outside, with a bang, a crack was stabbed, and then, he could no longer block the attack of the Heart-Destroying Dagger.

With a soft sound of "poof", blood spurted out of Zhang Feiyang's chest, and his spirit suddenly calmed down, as if he had sucked all the strength of the Heartbreaker Dagger, let go of his hands, and could not do anything.

Seeing that his face was pale and his heart was like a dead expression, Huo Dan laughed, and finally excitedly said what Zhang Feiyang wanted to know the most: "That's right." I just want to monopolize Senior Brother Xiang's magic weapon. Who let you have a conflict with Senior Brother Xiang? Hey hey ......"

It turned out that it all started when Hodan found Xiang Dong's body.

When inspecting the corpse, when he found that Xiang Dong did not have the cultivation technique "Qi Refining Technique" on his body, Huo Dan naturally felt very strange.

So he personally went to the house where Xiang Dong lived to search for the "Qi Refining Technique", but when he saw that he still hadn't found it, and when he didn't know how to continue searching, he inadvertently noticed that the magic weapon in Xiang Dong's hand was still well kept.

Because, when Xiang Dong's body was lifted out of the array, it was still in a frozen state, and the magic weapon Heart-Destroying Dagger was also covered with ice, so he didn't notice it at all at first.

After a lot of hard work, but he didn't find the "Qi Refining Technique", when Huo Dan returned his attention to Xiang Dong's corpse, he thawed the corpse before he noticed this magic weapon.

It was at this time that his mind changed, from the original idea of honestly investigating Xiang Dong's murder to how to swallow the heart-destroying dagger and not let others find out.

If you take it directly, it is naturally impossible.

There are still a few outer disciples in the six outer sects who are similar to him in strength and have the same status, and this time, he is in charge of investigating Xiang Dong's incident, and those few people know about it.

At that time, if Huo Dan can't give a satisfactory answer, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, and the "Qi Refining Technique" and the Heart-Destroying Dagger will be swallowed by him.

In this way, in order to become the target of public criticism, it has become a good policy.

When it comes time for the martial arts competition, he will also encounter a lot of trouble.

So, he had to think of a way to swallow the Heartbreaker Dagger alone.

After three days and three nights of consideration, Hodan finally came up with a brilliant solution.

assassinated Zhang Feiyang, and then pushed the charge of swallowing the heart-destroying dagger on him, saying that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

As for why the Heart-Destroying Dagger disappeared in the end, even the "Qi Refining Technique" was gone, and he could respond with not knowing.

Of course, this still can't completely eliminate the suspicion of his private possession, but once the two things of the Heart Destroying Dagger and the Qi Refining Technique are bound together, then he will appear very innocent.

Because, no one is stupid.

This is a very simple logic, as long as you think about it a little bit will make it clear.

Huo Dan is the leader of the corpse transportation department in the six departments, and in the entire corpse transportation department, there is only one "Qi Refining Formula".

And this Qi Refining Recipe has always been on Huo Dan's body.

The fact that he would cultivate to such a high level was also the result of having been reading the Qi Refining Technique and cultivating hard every day.

So, why did he, who already had the "Qi Refining Formula", swallow Xiang Dong's "Qi Refining Formula" alone?

The two copies of the Qi Refining Recipe could not help Huo Dan achieve a higher level of cultivation.

Therefore, as long as you are questioned by others or interrogated by more advanced inner disciples, you can completely clear your suspicion when you explain this logic in detail.

That's what Hodan was planning.

As for why he had to choose Zhang Feiyang to be a substitute for the dead, instead of someone else.

The reason is also very simple, when the disciples were selected outside, Zhang Feiyang and Xiang Dong had conflicts.

Once Zhang Feiyang is dead, casually falsifying a little evidence that he has had more conflicts with Xiang Dong can easily put the blame on Zhang Feiyang.

What's more, the most important pair of shoes, Zhang Feiyang also fit just right when he tried them on.

He really couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Zhang Feiyang to be this substitute for the dead ghost.

However, even so, there is still a loophole in this plan, that is, the relationship between himself and Zhang Feiyang is not very good.

Hodan then came up with a solution.

As soon as Xiang Dong died, the alchemy department lost one disciple.

If Zhang Feiyang can get this place, it is enough to prove how good his personal relationship with Zhang Feiyang is.

Under such circumstances, when people know about Zhang Feiyang's death, they will naturally not put the suspicion of murder on their heads.

"Now. You get it? So, you have to die! With this Heartbreaker. After I became an inner disciple, I could be better than my fellow disciples who were normally promoted but only had one magic weapon, and they could be appreciated by the elders more. The inner disciples never cared about such a thing as the outer door. They don't care how my Heartbreaker Dagger came about, they are only attracted by my excellent strength. ”

Seeing that Zhang Feiyang was already breathing weakly, his face turned from white to black, his eyes were almost unable to open, and he was about to die, Huo Dan was proud, his face was flushed with excitement, his face was really full of red light, and he looked like victory was in sight.

But what he didn't notice was that at this time, due to the deeper and deeper of the heart-destroying dagger, more and more blood flowed out of Zhang Feiyang's wound, and one of them passed through a bulging small cloth bag, which was dyed red and wet.

This small cloth bag is really Zhang Feiyang's most precious little stove.

When the little stove was moistened by Zhang Feiyang's hot blood, how could it have no reaction?

Listening to a loud "bang", the small stove, which was originally only the size of a palm, trembled slightly, and expanded dozens of times, and with a bang, it first broke the small cloth bag, and then continued to break Zhang Feiyang's Taoist robe, turning into a furnace with a fiery red body, braving the high temperature and heat, and appeared on the ground.

The fragments of cloth bags and robes that came into contact with the red light on the surface of the stove turned into ashes on the spot, and in a gust of wind, the smoke disappeared.

The Heart-Destroying Dagger that came into contact with it was not spared, and the light on the dagger flashed for a moment, and suddenly dimmed, as if the aura inside was instantly sucked dry, becoming an ordinary dagger.

As for Hodan, it is even more miserable.

Not to mention that the clothes on his chest were burned to ashes, and there was a black hole the size of a human head in his stomach, and the internal organs such as the intestines that should have flowed out of it had disappeared long ago, as if the world had evaporated.

This surprise is not trivial.

Hodan's eyes widened in disbelief, his face turned pale with fright, how could he still have the heart to pay attention to the heart-destroying dagger, only to feel that the pain in his chest was unbearable, he fell on his back, screamed, reached out and touched it, but found that there was not even blood, and his arm could easily reach out to the big hole in his stomach and touch it.

But the tentacles are nothing, as if they are touching not their own internal organs, but a piece of air.

What the hell is going on? And what is the magic weapon of the stove?

Huo Dan was both shocked and frightened, he never thought that he would be so close to death, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, how could he still have time to pay attention to Zhang Feiyang, he only felt that his whole body was getting colder and colder.

He sat down cross-legged at the time, adjusted his aura, and protected it all over the big hole in his chest, trying to save himself with all his might, trying to recover the missing internal organs and flesh little by little.

But the amazing thing is that Zhang Feiyang was unharmed by the same close contact with the surface of such a hot stove, but the pain in his chest was unbearable because he had pierced his heart with a heart-destroying dagger.

Seeing that the stove suddenly appeared, instantly turning the desperate situation of certain death into a situation where there was still a glimmer of life, Zhang Feiyang only thought about it for a moment and understood everything.

Perhaps, this stove does not hurt itself because it has already given it its own blood relationship when he first got it.

It seems that this is called a blood confession.

Thinking like this, Zhang Feiyang finally ignited his fighting spirit, and sat down cross-legged, guiding the aura to the area in his heart.

Then, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the heart-destroying dagger and pulled it out, and with a poof, blood splattered out two or three feet away, and his eyes were dark, and the blood passed out.

But seeing that Huo Dan's condition was worse than him at this time, Zhang Feiyang took a deep breath, forced himself to endure the severe pain, and accelerated his healing.

After a while, the shadow of the moon slanted to the west, and the night wind turned cold, blowing on the people's bodies, which was very uncomfortable.

This is even more true for the two people who were seriously injured, even if they were immortal cultivators, at least the two of them in the realm of the Qi Refining Period could not ignore the heavy damage to their bodies.

But the two reacted decisively differently.

Hodan trembled slightly nervously, and his hands were in a hurry, as if it was the first time he had experienced such a dangerous situation, and he looked inexperienced.

But Zhang Feiyang is stable and calm, he has long been accustomed to the danger of life and death that he may starve to death every day when he was wandering, and this time, he will naturally not panic.

When he was healing, he was calm and sophisticated, and when Hodan had just repaired his intestines, he had repaired all the wounds on his heart and flesh, stood up, carried the heart-destroying dagger, and walked in the direction of Hodan.

Huo Dan's face turned red with anxiety, and the more he looked at Zhang Feiyang's approach, the more frightened he became, and in the end, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and spit on Zhang Feiyang's eyes, trying to buy time and give himself the last ray of life.

Zhang Feiyang had already guessed that Huo Dan would fight to the death, closed his eyes in advance, waited for the blood to get on his face, stretched out his hand to wipe it off, and when he opened his eyes again, he shot like electricity, without hesitation, a knife swept over, the cold light flashed, and with a poof, he cut Huo Dan's throat.

With a "bang", Hodan finally couldn't run for this aura anymore, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground heavily, no longer responding.

At this point, Zhang Feiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fell to the ground heavily, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and he was in a trance for a long time, unable to believe that everything he had just experienced was true.

Especially thinking of the fact that Zhou Zhou Xian had died innocently and tragically.

He couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling deep guilt and self-blame for his misjudgment: "Senior Brother Zhou." I'm sorry. I hurt you. ”

But at that moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.

"Haha. Senior Brother Zhang. Who are you crying for? What a beautiful job you just did. That's great. I adore you to death. I'm not dead. You're not too young. How can you just cry your nose casually? Wipe away your tears. It's a shame to let people see. ”

It turned out to be the voice of Zhou Xian.
