Chapter 41: The Killing is Silent
There are strangers in Miaojiang, whose name is Bliss, and its name is the Five Poisons.
The Five Poison Boy of the Lord of Bliss from Miao Jiang is undoubtedly one of the most feared poison masters on the rivers and lakes. If it weren't for Bai Xiaosheng's feeling that the methods of the Five Poison Boys were too weird and vicious, perhaps the word "one" would have been removed long ago.
Fu Hongxue's poisoning methods cannot, of course, be compared with the poisoning methods of the five poisonous boys. Poison, after all, is not his strongest means. Poison is not Fu Hongxue's favorite method.
When Aunt Hua drove Fu Hongxue out of the house to take revenge, she said to him: "Hurry up, use this knife to cut off all their heads, and come back to see me." Otherwise, not only will heaven curse you, but I will also curse you!"
Therefore, when she can use a knife, Fu Hongxue will never use poison. How can the pleasure of poisoning an opponent compare to the pleasure of cutting off the opponent's head to make people's hearts stir?
But Fu Hongxue will use poison. He has learned to recognize, identify, make, distribute, poison and detoxify.
Now, Fu Hongxue has made poison, spread poison, used poison, made poison, and poisoned.
Fu Hongxue also wanted to cut off Yan Zhengyi's head. However, if you want to cut off Yan Zhengyi's head, you must first get Da Yan Zhengyi's side. If you want to reach Yan Zhengyi's side, you must first break through the many masters that Yan Zhengyi has deployed in the hundred-mile killing array.
Fu Hongxue knew that it was impossible for him to kill all the masters along the way with the knife in his hand. Even if she wasn't injured, it would be impossible for Fu Hongxue to kill so many masters. Even if so many masters have been killed, when facing Yan Zhengyi again, why should Fu Hongxue fight with him?
What's more, the injury on Fu Hongxue's left shoulder has not completely healed. There was a hole in the shoulder that could not have healed so quickly.
Therefore, Fu Hongxue made poison.
So, in one day, Yan Zhengyi received news of the poisoning of many subordinates.
A moment ago, Yan Zhengyi received the news that eighty miles away from Baili Camp, seven subordinates were poisoned, and their lives were uncertain. The next moment, Yan Zhengyi received the news that sixty miles away from Baili Camp, eleven subordinates were poisoned and all died.
Just when Yan Zhengyi thought that Fu Hongxue was gradually approaching the Baili camp, he received news again. Ninety miles away from Baili Camp, three more subordinates were poisoned. Subsequently, Yan Zhengyi received news again that forty miles away from Baili Camp, thirteen more subordinates had been poisoned.
Yan Zhengyi was furious.
The four subordinates who were poisoned in a row were all the elite of his subordinates. Each of them is a good man who is well-known in the entire rivers and lakes. The subordinates of the King of Fierce Heaven have no seeds.
In less than half a day, these well-known men were poisoned, poisoned, injured, and poisoned dozens of people.
Yan Zhengyi knew that the person who poisoned him must be Fu Hongxue. Yan Zhengyi just didn't understand how Fu Hongxue was poisoned. He also didn't understand how Fu Hongxue could rush from one poisoned place to another place dozens of miles away to poison in a moment.
If only that evil guy were here. With him, he will definitely be able to see through the poison that Fu Hongxue has given. He was even able to poison Fu Hongxue in turn.
However, Yan Zhengyi didn't want Fu Hongxue to die at the hands of anyone else now. Fu Hongxue must die under his Zhangba spear. He wanted to use the Zhangba spear to pierce Fu Hongxue Shengsheng. He wants to avenge these subordinates who died under Fu Hongxue's poison. These people are not only his subordinates, but also his brothers.
Yan Zhengyi is the king of fierce heaven. He is now the king of heaven who is condemned by everyone in the world. But who says that the king's brother is not a good brother?
It's a pity that if you want to kill Fu Hongxue, you have to find Fu Hongxue first.
Yan Zhengyi couldn't find Fu Hongxue. He couldn't hear anything about Fu Hongxue's whereabouts. He just kept getting news of the poisoning of his subordinates.
The line of defense can only be retracted. Only by tightening the defense line closer can Fu Hongxue not have so many opportunities.
Therefore, Yan Zhengyi ordered that all the people should be collected to a distance of thirty miles from the Baili camp.
Yan Zhengyi also issued an extremely strict anti-poison order. That is, anyone must be tested for poison before eating. Even if you drink a sip of water, you have to let people test the poison first.
The people who tested the poison were all taken from within a radius of 100 miles from the 100-mile camp. Yan Zhengyi never considered himself a person who killed innocents indiscriminately. However, in order to save his brother's life, he had to let others test the poison.
It is useless to test the poison.
The water bag that the person who tested the poison had just drunk was still poisoned when Yan Zhengyi's person took it and drank it again. The meal that the person who tested the poison had just tried, and when Yan Zhengyi's person followed and ate it, he was still poisoned.
Yan Zhengyi finally couldn't sit still.
He decided that he couldn't continue to wait for Fu Hongxue in Baili Camp, let alone let his brother wait for Fu Hongxue in the killing array. If he waited like this, his brother would be poisoned by Fu Hongxue. These brothers, there is still a lot of use. They can't die under Fu Hongxue's poison in vain like this. Moreover, if Fu Hongxue continues to be poisoned like this, the news will spread soon.
Although Yan Zhengyi and Fu Hongxue were surprisingly silent in this silent killing and counter-killing, there were more people dead, and the news would spread sooner or later. Yan Zhengyi didn't want to directly face Dou Huaien and the others and the Northwest Army now.
So, Yan Zhengyi began to move.
He moved rapidly in the direction of Xiliangguan. He was telling Fu Hongxue, you come and kill me. If I don't come again, I'll go out of Xiliang.
Yan Zhengyi knew that Fu Hongxue would definitely be able to understand what he meant. Yan Zhengyi knew that Fu Hongxue would definitely chase him.
Yan Zhengyi also gave a new death order. Before Fu Hongxue appeared, no one was allowed to eat anything again, not even a drop of water.
Yan's strategy worked. No one was poisoned anymore. It's not easy for anyone who wants to poison an opponent on a fast move. If it was changed to a five-poison boy, maybe it would. Unless you are already dead, if you don't eat, drink, or even breathe, you will be poisoned by him. Even if it is a dead person, the Five Poison Boy can poison it.
Fu Hongxue is not a five-poison boy. Although he can poison the air, he can't control the spread of air poisoning. He couldn't run the risk of poisoning other irrelevant people as well.
However, Fu Hongxue still has a knife.
So, there are still people who die. Moreover, more and more people are dying.
They all died by the sword. died under Fu Hongxue's knife.
Still no one knows where Fu Hongxue is. It's just that people are dying non-stop.
Fu Hongxue will not only use the art of poisoning. He was also proficient in the art of assassination.
He had a shoulder wound and dragged a stump leg, but his assassination method was even more powerful than the most powerful killer Yan Zhengyi had ever seen.
A kill is a set, and a death is a share. More masters fell.
Yan Zhengyi didn't want to receive any news now. There is no other news. It's all news of the constant death of subordinates.
Fortunately, now these subordinates who were assassinated by Fu Hongxue are all from the same direction. Moreover, the dead people are closer to Yan Zhengyi than the other.
Yan Zhengyi knew that Fu Hongxue was coming from this direction.
Yan Zhengyi stopped moving.
He rode his horse and spear and stood at the head of a small wooden bridge.
This place is called Thirty Miles. It's only thirty miles away from Xiliangguan.
There are few people around Yan Zhengyi. On his side, in addition to Xue Ba, there are only three masters. The others were all sent out by Yan Zhengyi. Yan Justice sent them out, not to let them stop Fu Hongxue. Yan Zhengyi knew that his subordinates couldn't stop Fu Hongxue. Sending them to stop Fu Hongxue will only make more people fall under Fu Hongxue's assassination.
Yan Zhengyi sent them out to hunt down the outposts of the Northwest Frontier Army.
Yan Zhengyi didn't want anyone else to come to Thirty Miles. He is going to have a decisive battle with Fu Hongxue here. He wanted to fight Fu Hongxue face to face before Dou Huaien or anyone else received the news and rushed to him.
He was going to pierce Fu Hongxue's chest. He was going to nail Fu Hongxue firmly to the piles of this wooden bridge.
Yan Zhengyi's current appearance is no different from Yan Zhang Yide. The same wooden bridge, the same horse, the same spear, the same majesty, the same murderous momentum.
Here, like the bridge guarded by Zhang Yide, it is the only bridge that wants to cross this river within 20 miles up and down. Fu Hongxue wanted to catch up with Yan Zhengyi, but there was no other way to go except to cross the river from here.
Fu Hongxue didn't let Yan Zhengyi wait too long.
He's coming.
He was now no more than a hundred paces from the other end of the wooden bridge.
He dragged his stump and carried his knife, and came. There was still undried blood on his knife. It was all the blood of the enemy.
He looked a little tired.
After so much poisoning, killing so many people, and driving so far, he was a little tired after all.
He walked more slowly.
He was still wearing a bandage over his left shoulder. Above the bandage, there was a purple and black color. It was the color of the blood oozing from his own left shoulder.
He walked slowly, swinging his knife from time to time.
The subordinates sent out by Yan Zhengyi were not only sniping the sentry of the Northwest Army who appeared within thirty miles, but also sniping anyone else who dared to come here.
They were all able to recognize Fu Hongxue. They also hated Fu Hongxue. In this short period of half a day, many of their friends and brothers fell under Fu Hongxue's poison or knife.
They don't need Yan Zhengyi to order. They want to kill Fu Hongxue and avenge their brother. They even had to block Fu Hongxue for their heavenly king.
They all know that they are not Fu Hongxue's opponents. But they didn't flinch in the slightest. A man who is born is the king of heaven, and a ghost of the king of heaven is dead. Even if they were able to prick a small wound on Fu Hongxue's body and let Fu Hongxue shed an extra drop of blood, it would also reduce the burden on their Heavenly King.
Even if they can't stab Fu Hongxue, even if they can just make Fu Hongxue have one more knife, they can consume Fu Hongxue's strength one more point, and let their Heavenly King have one more chance of killing Fu Hongxue.
