Chapter Seventy-Seven: Massacre

As the Dutch girl said, the apprentice carnage was not interfered with, and Jinpeng Castle was happy to see future killers undergo the harshest and most realistic killing training, with a few unwritten rules.

The carnage was confined to the East Fort. Specifically, in the area east and south of the Fire Refining Academy, from the Cliff of the Past to the east and the Wooden Knife Alley to the south, any Killer Apprentice who dares to go beyond the range will be killed by the hidden guards.

The carnage was only for apprentices. Anyone who attacks the servants again except on the first night is also a dead end. Even so, there were very few servants who dared to enter the East Fort casually, the black market was abolished, and the handymen who were responsible for delivering food and cleaning only came in groups, put down their things and leave immediately, and in those days, the East Fort was a mess, almost no different from the ruins of Wooden Knife Alley.

The killer masters abide by the principle of non-interference. At the beginning of the massacre, they all found excuses to leave their residences, anyway, there was no black market, life in the fort was very inconvenient, and most of them went to the south city to enjoy the wine and beauty, and regarded this month as a rare holiday.

The few remaining killer masters, after a successful assassination by the Arm Slave Gang, all left, completely handing over this territory to the apprentices who killed the red eye.

The assassination was Gu Shenwei's act of revenge, and the target was named "Coyote".

Most of the members of the Snow Mountain Gang abandoned their real names and pretended to be wild beasts, and the coyote was one of them, a sturdy teenager with sharp swordsmanship and good at close combat.

"He was the one who assassinated you on the black market. ”

A member of the Arm Slave Gang swore that no evidence was presented, but it was approved by all the members, and everyone unanimously said that they would cut him, and the Arm Slave Gang had killed seven people in the first two days of massacre, and had the greatest loss among the gangs, and urgently needed to save his status and face.

In fact, contrary to the assertion of the oldest apprentice, there were no gangs willing to unite with the Arm Slave Gang, and many people hated the Snow Mountain Gang, but they also hated the group of teenagers with the inscription on their arms, they were all former slaves in the fort, and they were inextricably linked to the various courtyards, and they often had friends from the past who came to visit, like the Lotus Girl and the dead slaves, and even lived in the East Castle, all of which widened the rift between the Arm Slaves and the other apprentices.

This is the first time Gu Shenwei has entered the group, although he is recognized as the strongest in martial arts, he did not immediately achieve the highest status, everyone is waiting and watching, if he wants to gain the respect of everyone, he must also show more leadership charisma.

That afternoon, more members of the Arm Slave Gang rushed to hear the news, and a total of fifty-eight people gathered before and after, everyone had different masters who served in the past, and the internal contradictions of the Shangguan family were naturally also reflected in the slaves, so there were quite a few apprentices who wanted to compete for the vacant "gang leader" position.

Therefore, the assassination of coyotes has a double meaning: revenge and contention. Gu Shenwei was determined to take the initiative in this game.

The coyote's master did not leave the East Fort, which was the biggest obstacle to the assassination operation.

The Dutch girl got a lot of information, and Gu Shenwei made a bold plan, with only three participants.

The coyote's master has a total of six apprentices, and one of them has to take the monthly test on the third day of the assassination on the black market, which is the only surviving daily activity of the Fire Refining Academy, as long as the apprentice is alive.

The first person in the assassination team happened to be taking the monthly test on the same day, so he was in charge of monitoring, and as soon as the coyote's junior brother entered the house, he immediately signaled to the lotus girl who was guarding the door.

Gu Shenwei was dressed in the standard black clothes of a killer apprentice, masked, and had been ambushed near the coyote's residence in the middle of the night since the day before.

The Dutch girl arrives to change shifts, and her task is to deliver a message and find a way to stop or kill the coyote's junior brother when he returns early.

Gu Shenwei carried a knife, walked out of the hiding place, and entered the courtyard where the coyote lived openly.

This place is much bigger than Tie Hanfeng's residence, the killer master is resting in the house, the coyote and several fellow brothers are practicing knives, Gu Shenwei nodded at them, didn't say anything, looked depressed, and went directly into "his own" room.

This is the first few days of the massacre, everyone's vigilance has not yet reached the point of rumors, Gu Shenwei's figure is very similar to the disciple who participated in the monthly test, although it is a little strange to keep a masked dress after the monthly test, but it does not arouse suspicion, who would have thought that an apprentice would dare to carry out an assassination under the nose of the killer master?

The coyote had a good relationship with this junior brother, practiced knives outside for a while, and went into the house to ask about the results of the junior brother's monthly exam, and it seemed that he lost again, but it was fortunate that he did not lose his life.

Just like hiding under the bed and waiting for Han Shiqi's arrival, Gu Shenwei hid behind the door and held his breath, worried, and once again felt that his plan was full of loopholes, the coyote might not come in, or it might come in with other people, the details of life were always full of uncertainty, and the information of the lotus girl might be wrong.

The result was smoother than expected, Gu Shenwei finally had a back kill, a knife pierced through the back of the coyote's heart, and before he fell to the ground, he immediately grabbed his hair and cut off his head according to the master's teachings.

As soon as something happened, Gu Shenwei's nervousness immediately disappeared, and he dealt with the aftermath in an orderly manner, wiped the blood stains on the knife, found a black coat, wrapped the head, and walked out of the room and left the courtyard with a relaxed step, without squinting.

The other four apprentices looked surprised this time, but they still didn't react immediately, and it wasn't until the black-clad masked man disappeared for a while that they thought of checking on the coyote that hadn't appeared for a long time.

The killer master was furious and almost killed all the remaining five apprentices, but after that, he was angry, but he greatly appreciated the courage of the assassin, he couldn't surrender his identity to find an apprentice to take revenge, so he left Dongbao that day and left a message for the apprentice, "Either kill the assassin alive, or die to see the master." ”

In order to prevent the recurrence of this humiliating thing, the last few killer masters also left, and an even greater wave of assassination frenzy arrived.

The assassination quickly spread, and everyone knew that it was Huannu's handiwork, and he immediately won the allegiance of the members of the Arm Slave Gang, and provoked a series of assassinations.

In the month before the winter, Gu Shenwei had no fixed residence, lived in the courtyards of various members, and even hid in the ruins of Mudao Lane for a while.

There is never the safest place to hide, and the only way to survive is to preemptively kill as many opponents as possible.

Gu Shenwei divided the fifty-eight people into several groups, each group of three to five people, divided them into districts, designated targets, and sometimes even personally participated in the development of the assassination plan.

The lotus girl quickly showed the talent of a killer, but the slave has always been a weakness, but his master is the third young master, the third young master has a close relationship with the eighth young master, Gu Shenwei can only take him, after all, the slaves in the courtyard of the other young masters are even less trustworthy.

The assassination campaign was like a tidal wave, rising and falling, with the most of 30 or 40 people killed every day, and there were also days of unanimous truce between all sides in order to supply food, weapons, clothing, and other supplies.

Participating in the monthly test became a veritable journey of death, the hapless apprentice died before he even reached the gate of the alchemy academy, and the lucky one found that after entering the simulation house of the competition, there was no opponent on the other side.

No one dared to throw a corpse at the cliff, which almost meant throwing themselves down.

If they want to act openly, the apprentices must be in groups of three or five, and there must be several protectors in secret.

Assassination became more and more difficult, and at the same time, a group of highly skilled and successful apprentices became famous, and the apprentices developed a skill to distinguish who the assassin was from the method of killing, so that the battle record could be calculated and even ranked.

Although Gu Shenwei planned many assassinations and participated in most of them, he was not the highest-ranking person, and he has been hovering in the third and fourth positions in the statistics of different gangs.

Many people have found that the survivors are not necessarily apprentices with strong martial arts, and several good players who rose to prominence in the Carved Wood Academy and killed the enemy with a single sword in the monthly test were killed in the first few days of the assassination wave, but there were some previously unknown people who not only survived, but also kept increasing the number of killings they killed.

There is a teenager named "Liuhua", who is the best among them, and in the statistics of all gangs, he is ranked ahead of Huannu.

Liuhua's surname is Zhi, born in the west of the land of quicksand, thin and short, ordinary appearance, in the carved wood courtyard, the only thing that attracts his attention is the strange surname and first name, after entering the fire refining courtyard, he has never killed the enemy with a knife in the monthly test, and once he was slashed.

It was this young man who looked very weak, did not join a gang, did not have any helpers, acted alone, eleven apprentices were assassinated in the first three days, and at first, everyone attributed the people he killed to someone else's name, until someone discovered the unique killing method of Flowing Water.

Liuhua is a marksman, and he has made a short bow of his own, although the range is greatly shortened, but it is easy to hide, he only starts within twenty steps, and according to the result of the first arrow and the speed of the enemy's reaction, he has a chance to shoot one to three arrows.

He kills only with arrows, and when he kills, he will take them back, and he will never leave them on the body, and no matter how many arrows he shoots, one of them will go through the mouth and out of the back of the head.

His nickname is therefore "Seal", and "Seal" once became a nightmare for apprentices, especially those who had humiliated him, and they all kept their mouths firmly on their mouths.

Liuhua greatly improved the status of archers, and in Jinpeng Castle, apprentices who specialized in bows and arrows and hidden weapons have always been in a weak position, "It is better to shoot from a distance than to attack closely, because the closer you are, the more you can judge the life and death of your opponent", which is a famous saying that circulates among killers.

But after all, Liuhua is fighting alone, the main purpose of killing is revenge, the scope of influence is not large, in Dongbao, the number of killings is undoubtedly in the first place, everyone says, this is the only object that Liuhua does not dare to challenge.

It was a teenager named "Wild Horse", who had always held a record of assassinating at least one person a day, killing sixty-nine people in a month, enough to destroy a medium-sized gang, and finally he had the whimsical idea to end this ridiculous murder with Huannu, the leader of the Arm Slave Gang.
