Chapter Seventy-Four: The Line Between Life and Death

Gu Xiaozhao's face was as pale as paper, and his body swayed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the guards of the outer courtyard swarmed in.

When the first figure appeared in front of him, Gu Xiaozhao was already standing still, straight as loose, and the expression on his face was as indifferent as ever, making it impossible to see the depth at all.

Seeing the scene in the courtyard, the guards had different expressions.

One is the master of everyone, the other is a partner who accompanies him day and night, and the leading brother with excellent popularity, why do the two of them fight to the death?

What's going on?

Rao was surprised, but no one asked.

"Nie Zengguang committed a rebellion and wanted to assassinate me, but he was killed on the spot, you need to take caution, if you have any disrespectful thoughts, it is best to put it away......"

Gu Xiaozhao said sharply.

"The little ones don't dare!"

"The wolf ambition surnamed Nie deserves to be cut with a thousand cuts......"

"I already knew that this guy was inappropriate, hey, it's a pity that the little one didn't have the opportunity to meet the young master, and the pain was terrible!"

......

The guards fell to their knees, some silent, others professed their loyalty, and the noisy voices of people and the sound of cicadas that had risen again at some point were mixed incomparably in a commotion of incomparable.

Gu Xiaozhao felt pain in his temples.

He raised his hands and pressed them down.

"Shut up!"

The guards fell silent.

"Carry this guy down, search his body, and see if there's anything strange......"

Gu Xiaozhao pointed at Gu Yin with his finger and said in a deep voice.

Most of these guards were recruited from outside, only Gu Yin was the son of the Gu family, seven years ago, he followed Gu Xiaozhao to Dishui Temple with Zhan Xuan, at the beginning, there were not many people still alive, he was one of them. His father is Gu Quan's long-term follower, and to some extent, he is quite reliable.

It's just that Gu Chuang was assassinated in the past, and Nie Zengguang, who saved his life, wanted to kill himself.

Gu Xiaozhao doesn't believe in the so-called loyalty anymore!

Loyalty and betrayal are actually two sides of the same coin, as long as the price is enough, it will turn into another face at any time, and you will be surprised.

Anyway, among these people, Gu Yin looked reliable, so Gu Xiaozhao asked him to be in charge of this matter.

"No!"

Gu Yin replied excitedly.

Seven years ago, there was a betrayal of the son of the family, if it wasn't for Zhou Shiyu's father Zhou Sen to save him, Gu Xiaozhao would have lost his life.

After that incident, the entourage who followed Gu Xiaozhao to Dripping Water Temple was purged, and if it weren't for Gu Yin's father who had been following Gu Quan for a long time, he would probably have been implicated.

Even if he escaped the purge, Gu Yin has not had a good time in the past seven years.

He was marginalized.

The allocated martial arts training resources have remained unchanged for several years, and promotions and salary increases have nothing to do with him, so he became silent and lived like an invisible person.

Now, Gu Xiaozhao has given him this task, how can he not be excited?

As long as you do the things entrusted by the young master, you can regain the trust of the young master, and the promotion and salary increase in the future will no longer have nothing to do with you.

When Gu Yin and a group of people carried Nie Zengguang's body and retreated, Gu Xiaozhao let out a long breath, his legs were weak, and he sat on the edge of the flower bed.

In this battle, he has run out of oil, and he is nothing more than forcibly supporting.

It's dangerous!

If it weren't for the fact that he was able to cast a talisman and catch the opponent off guard, at this moment, lying on the ground would probably be himself, after all, the opponent was a mid-level Qi Refining Realm, and his cultivation was far superior to himself.

Even so, there was an element of luck in winning.

The young Xiao Gu of that world, like the talisman apprentice of the Tianyun realm, could only rely on the rune paper to cast runes, and he did not have the ability to draw runes in the void without rune paper.

However, after arriving in the Tianyun Realm, the situation was different.

Gu Xiaozhao noticed a strange phenomenon.

If he used the Xiao Wuxiang Technique to simulate the fluctuations of Lingxiao's true spiritual power, he would actually be able to stimulate the rune scriptures that he could see in the scroll in the sea of consciousness.

After that rune is activated, the luster of the scriptures in the scroll will dim, and it will take a long time to light up again, and he doesn't know how long this cooldown period will be.

In addition, in order to activate the runes, a large amount of divine thoughts must be consumed.

Gu Xiaozhao's divine thoughts are very powerful, and they can be compared to the talismans, however, such a large number of divine thoughts can only stimulate two runes, and after they are activated, they will fall into the realm of running out of oil and drying up, and they don't even have the power to maintain the Illuminating Snow Meditation Method.

What makes people vomit blood is that the power of the runes that have been stimulated by so many divine thoughts is not very good, and the lethality produced by a fireball technique is similar to that of a sword qi.

In this way, it doesn't seem cost-effective to activate the runes.

However, life and death is not a business, and accounts cannot be counted in this way.

In many cases, it is not the most powerful move that is the best move, in fact, the timing is the most important, and the most suitable move at the most appropriate time is the right choice.

It's like the fight between Gu Xiaozhao and Nie Zengguang.

No matter from which point of view, Nie Zengguang has the upper hand.

His cultivation is far deeper than Gu Xiaozhao's, and he also has a lot of experience in fighting, and it is basically impossible to dig a pit for him with some small skills.

Why did he fail?

The reason was very simple, he didn't expect Gu Xiaozhao to actually cast a talisman.

Let's put it this way, in the Tianyun Realm, even if the talisman casts a spell, it takes a certain buffer time, there is a saying called the void talisman, that is to say, you must draw a talisman in the void, whether it is one stroke or two strokes, in short, it is to be drawn. But Gu Xiaozhao was not like this, he only needed to stimulate the scriptures in the scroll in the sea of consciousness to cast the talisman.

It's a very simplistic process, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's instantaneous.

It's just that the power of the rune is not strong, and the distance is even more choking, about three feet.

Therefore, when Gu Xiaozhao was fighting before, he tried his best to get close to Nie Zengguang, Nie Zengguang misunderstood Gu Xiaozhao's plan, and thought that Gu Xiaozhao wanted to compete with him.

He was not afraid of this.

Even, he was willing to let Xiao Zhao get close.

The reason is very simple, he doesn't know if Gu Xiaozhao has six eyes, or if he uses the Gu family's family secret method, he can actually escape the knife formation he used to use the knife.

The effect of long-range attack is not good, so let's fight in close combat!

Anyway, as long as he has a gang all over his body, it is almost like being invulnerable, at that time, as long as he attacks the other party, Gu Xiaozhao can only be beaten passively.

Nie Zengguang never expected that Gu Xiaozhao would be able to instantaneously send a talisman.

In a hurry, he stimulated all the evil in front of him, and even so, he was still worried about whether he could block it.

You must know that Nie Zengguang has also seen a talisman cast by a talisman, and at such a close distance, the lethality of the talisman far exceeds that of a middle-level martial artist in the Qi Refining Realm.

Who would have thought that the power of this fireball technique was so bad, the power was only about the same as a sword qi.

What he didn't expect was that at that moment, Gu Xiaozhao activated two major runes in a row, and the fireball technique that went straight to the door was just a disguise, and the really fatal thing was the second rune that followed, the Blade Arrow Technique.

Because he put the gang on the door, there was no cover on his chest.

Gu Xiaozhao's sharp arrow technique penetrated through his front chest and out of his back, making a hole alive, and all the organs in his chest cavity became shattered.

For this reason, Gu Xiaozhao also exhausted all his divine thoughts.

If he misses a blow, he can only be slaughtered.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

If he succeeds, he is alive, and the loser falls and becomes a corpse.

That's the rule of the world.
