Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 894 Assassination
Fourth group.

Gu Mingxu has been fighting on the field.

As the high-profile prince of Tiansheng Kingdom, he has received various professional fighting training since he was a child, and the supply of resources he can enjoy is far beyond ordinary people.In this kind of arena, he fought like a fish in water, with a radiant look.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.At this moment, Gu Mingxu used one against three, coping with the fighting of several enemies around him, always urging his spiritual power just right.Just when he was gradually gaining control of the field and was about to decide victory or defeat with one move, he suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation in his right arm.

The pain was quite weak at first, just like being bitten by a mosquito.But soon, a fiery pain suddenly hit the wound, as if cutting the flesh inch by inch with a sharp blade.Gu Mingxu felt dizzy for a while, and immediately after, he felt the wound tingle unbearably, as if even the blood had been completely frozen.This feeling... is that I am poisoned!
Originally, there were no rules in the arena, and the use of poison was not considered a violation. Among the candidates participating in the competition, a large number of them were poison masters.But the poison this time... Judging from the rapid loss of consciousness and the continuous pain from the wound, it is clearly a poison that seals the throat with blood.

Through his blurred vision, Gu Mingxu vaguely saw a figure quickly squeezed into the crowd and mixed in with the chaotic contestants.He only had time to catch a hazy figure from the back, and he didn't know anything about the other person's features, even tall, short, fat, thin, etc.

The few enemies around were unaware of the dramatic changes that had taken place in this short moment. They just saw that Gu Mingxu's movements suddenly became sluggish. , Raise your weapon and attack.

I can't spend any more time with them... Gu Mingxu worked hard to operate his stiff consciousness.Now he needs to find a quiet place as soon as possible, and use his powers to expel the poison... If he uses his spiritual power again, the poison will only happen faster.When the toxin really diffuses into the blood of the whole body... he will die!
Who the hell...?He even used this method to assassinate himself?Or is it above the arena of Tiangongmen?

As a prince, there are indeed many prying eyes around him.But for a while, it was difficult for Gu Mingxu to pinpoint the suspect.He could only risk the poison to attack his heart, forcefully raise his spiritual power once, turned around sharply, slapped out with both palms, dispelled a vortex of energy, and knocked these people to the ground in unison.After confirming that they were no longer capable of fighting, he limped out of the battle circle, looking for a safe place.

On the way, he also checked his wounds.A gash about an inch long was cut on the right arm, and the blood oozing out was completely black. Under the rendering of a large amount of blood, it also made the wound, which was not very deep at first, look extremely hideous and terrifying.

From the looks of it, the wound should have been caused by an extremely thin sharp blade, and the blade was tempered with deadly poison!
After walking out of the crowd with difficulty, Gu Mingxu staggered and fell to the ground.Raising his hand and throwing it, a spirit treasure flew into the air, spreading layers of tower-shaped golden halos, enveloping him and temporarily isolating him from the outside world.

It's not that Gu Mingxu wants to be ranked, it's just that the area he was in before happened to be in the center of the ring.There are enemies on all sides, if you want to leave the ring, you have to fight all the way out of the ring.People don't care if you want to go out to heal your injuries or not, just imagine, if you fake your injuries and I let you, you will take the opportunity to sneak attack?If this is the case, Gu Mingxu really can't last until that time.

In desperation, he could only open his portable spiritual treasure "golden bell cover" to heal his wounds nearby.But this method is not safe. If someone notices that he is seriously injured, they will probably hit him.

After all, in this group, he was also listed as a "seeded player" along with Xu Ziji and Feng Qiwu.Even if they can personally eliminate a seeded player, even if they can't advance to the next level, the sense of honor alone is enough to keep them going forward.

Even if one person can't break the shield, what about ten people?What about more people?Driven by greed, it is enough for them to come up with more means of suppressing the bottom of the box.At this time, Gu Mingxu could only pray secretly, hoping that before someone noticed him, he could suppress the toxin first, even if he could recover [-]% of his combat power.

One drop, two drops, dark black poisonous blood oozed from Gu Mingxu's fingertips and fell into a small bottle placed in front of him.

I don't know what kind of poison it is... Only by trying to collect poisonous blood first, and after the game is over, will it be possible to follow the clues to find the real culprit.Now the other party wants his own life... Absolutely cannot be tolerated!
Others didn't notice, but Gu Mingxu's abnormal state was clearly seen by Gu Mingxi, who was fighting in the second group.

Except for the other two seeded players in the fourth group, the others should be able to handle it with my brother's strength.Now that Xu Ziji is attacking with a puppet, Feng Qiwu has not yet made a move, so who hurt his brother?
Gu Mingxi knew very well that his brother had a tenacious personality, and even if he suffered a slight injury in the fighting arena, he would definitely persist in training.It made him have to give up the game, and even used the Lingbao golden bell, I'm afraid...he was really seriously injured!
For a moment, Gu Mingxi was flustered, and her position happened to be close to the boundary line.And she rushed to the edge of the ring almost immediately, shouting to the guards of Tiangong Gate who were in charge of maintaining order outside the arena.

"Can I apply for a timeout? My brother seems to have had an accident!"

The guard glanced at her, and replied formulaically: "I'm sorry princess, the assessment has already started, and there can't be any reason to stop it halfway."

Gu Mingxi was worried in his heart, wishing he could give up the competition immediately and rush to the fourth ring to see what happened.The guard saw her thoughts, and persuaded again: "The prince will be fine. It is very common to be injured in battle. The princess should go back to the assessment. I believe the prince will not want you to affect his grades for him." of."

Is it really going to be okay?Brother... Gu Mingxi looked up anxiously, looking at the figure shrouded in a golden halo.If people noticed that he was injured, they might gather together!

fifth group.

Brother Shura and Yan Yueque have already fought for several rounds.

Even though their attacks were fierce, Yan Yueque had also practiced a lot of tyrannical skills, and he did not lose out in a short period of time.

Another violent collision erupted, and the three of them jumped backwards.Ge Shu Chong flipped the weapon in his hand, glanced at the enemy on the opposite side, and sneered.

"Yan Yueque, you can only advance two times in a ring, you boy is the obstacle for us to win the championship, don't you understand?"

Yan Yueque nodded calmly, and said gracefully, "Yes, but have you ever thought that there is actually a simpler and easier method?"

"In a ring, it is true that only two people can advance. However, you don't have to fight me at all."

Seeing the two people looking over suspiciously, Yan Yueque smiled mysteriously, "Because you are brothers, there can naturally be discussions between brothers. As long as the elder brother gives way to the younger brother, or the younger brother respects the younger brother, this matter will be settled." Isn't it a complete solution?"

"Anyway, it's the same for whoever can reach the finals. What else do brothers need to divide?"

His seemingly polite words contained a lot of subtext.Even the Shura brothers fell into a short silence for a while, as if they were seriously considering the feasibility of this proposal.

After a while, Ge Shuchong's face changed, and he shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Stop sowing discord! Of course our brothers will be promoted together. If you want to get out, you, an outsider, should get out first!"

The battle was on the verge of breaking out again, and the three of them turned into a ball of light and shadow. There were bursts of sound of gold and iron, and tyrannical energy like waves, which radiated from time to time when their weapons collided.

Yan Yueque always maintained a faint smile, as if the effect he wanted most had already been achieved.In this battle, he is sure to win——

Shen Antong, who was watching the battle, had already seen through his thoughts.Just like the tricks she used to kill people with the help of a knife, what Yan Yueque is using now is a counter-intuitive trick.

Although Brother Shura always goes out in pairs, but in reality, their relationship is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface.Ge Shuqing is cold-blooded, and Ge Shuchong is violent. In essence, they are both people who only think about themselves.For the time being, no conflicts have erupted, just because there have been no fundamental differences of interests.

Now, Yan Yueque planted a seed of discord among them.Although there are still two opponents at the moment, one of them will be beaten together, but as long as this battle continues, the younger brother will inevitably feel that the elder brother is not humble enough for him, or the elder brother feels that the younger brother is not respectful enough for him.As a result, suspicions arose.

After all, most people tend to be extremely harsh on those closest to them.Yan Yueque was an enemy, so it was only natural that he would not give in.But in the current situation, it is clear that his own brother can end this difficult battle by making a concession, but the other party just refuses...

The resentment aroused by the long-term struggle will only be attached to his brother.Then, sooner or later, they will turn against each other here... At that time, it is their own opportunity!
The third group.

Mu Hansha had just dealt with a few enemies, and an arc of spiritual power flashed across his face. His reaction was extremely fast, and he turned sideways quickly. At the same time, the energy in his body surged, and he entered the state of preparation again.

"Brother Hansha, it's really hard for you to make it this far." On the opposite side, a figure slowly walked out.Wearing a black robe that was the same as her own, she folded her hands neatly in front of her chest, making a gesture of stroking palms.Judging from the position, he was the one who attacked him earlier!
"Gai Cheng!" Mu Hansha's pupils shrank slightly.He knew that the other party was unhappy with him, but he didn't expect that he would show his hostility to the surface so early...

This person, like himself, is the Holy Envoy of the Nine Serenities who came to refer to this time.Previously, he was with the Eight Venerables, and there were often conflicts with himself who belonged to the Seven Venerables at that time.

In terms of family background alone, Gai Cheng's background is indeed much better than his own.One must know that to become the Holy Envoy of the Nine Serenities is a first-class job in this world, and one needs a lot of money to obtain such a position.Therefore, most of the nine secluded envoys in the hall have various backgrounds.Only those poor and humble people would come to sell themselves as slaves.

As a slave, apart from being able to get a bite to eat, he does not enjoy any preferential treatment.In Jiuyou Palace, they are servants of slaves, and they have to nod and bow their heads and smile when they see anyone.It is really rare to be able to produce a Nine Serenity Holy Envoy from among the servants.

Unfortunately, Mu Hansha did exactly this.He was favored by the Eight Venerables first, and then planned for him, which made him get the favor of the Seven Venerables. Since then, he has completely turned from salty fish, even among the holy envoys of the Nine Serenities, he is an outstanding one.His limelight also naturally overwhelmed the mediocre performance of Gai Cheng.

How can Gai Cheng be reconciled to such a gap?He couldn't see the difference in strength between the two sides, and he only focused on the difference in their identities.How could he tolerate that a lowly servant completely climbed onto his head?
At first, the Eight Venerables forbade him to provoke Mu Hansha.Gai Cheng was puzzled, but the Eight Venerables never explained it to him.It wasn't until the downfall of the Eight Venerables that Gai Cheng knew that Mu Hansha had always been a hidden chess piece buried by the Eight Venerables beside the Seventh Venerables!
What made Gai Chengji even more hateful was that the eight venerables were executed, and those subordinates who had followed the eight venerables were all reprimanded to a certain extent, and their lives in the temple were not easy.But Mu Hansha, a traitor, unexpectedly fawned on the most popular Nine Venerables early on!He also got a reference quota for Tiangongmen!Now, only he is the winner!

Hateful... Hateful... Gai Cheng's teeth itch with hatred.He intends to use Mu Hansha's betrayal to incite the old subordinates of the Eight Venerables, hoping that they can avenge their boss and crusade against this traitor!

But the people in Jiuyou Hall are cold and cold, and the Eight Venerables treat others meanly on weekdays. Everyone is just afraid of his power, but few of them really respect him.To offend the confidants of the Nine Venerables for the sake of a dead boss?It's not worth it.

This group of people can't count on it, but Gai Cheng still can't swallow this breath.He spent a lot of money in exchange for an ordinary recommended spot for himself.Just to go to the assessment with Mu Hansha, and then completely defeat him and enter the Tiangong gate by himself!

"Brother Hansha, why bother to put on a hostile face." Gai Cheng smirked hypocritically, "I also thought to myself, you must be very tired by now, why don't you go down and rest first, and let the rest of the way How about finishing it for you?"

Mu Hansha lowered his voice: "Gai Cheng, are you going to fight with me here? Everyone is from the Nine Nether Palace, and the foreign enemies have not been cleared up. If we start internal strife first, I'm afraid it will be a joke for others."

Of course, he could see Gai Cheng's plan.If you really want to do it, you will never be afraid of him.It's just that he values ​​the kindness of the Nine Venerables, and he only thinks about the interests of the Nine Nether Palace.Although the other party is not on good terms with him, they are still from the same camp. If the rankings are all better, the Hall Master will naturally be pleased.Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he hopes to avoid internal friction as much as possible.

But... If this Gai Cheng insists on being his enemy, he will never hold back!
