Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 154 Haoran Sect disciple died suddenly
Shu Ziteng had a smile on his face, but he had already cursed thousands of times in his heart.

The other party just stood and talked without hurting his back. He didn't know how difficult it is to train a spy.

The beautiful woman now in Prince Wu's palace was cultivated by him secretly for five years.

He has kept it here in Ying County for more than two years. It is one of the few valuable spies in his hands. How can he let it go when he is asked to throw it away?

The martial arts force that he belongs to, the Black Clothes Society, is different from other forces in that it uses spying information to calculate the sect's contribution, in order to replace the corresponding sect's exercises, wish stones, elixirs and other training materials.

These officers just depend on their spies for food.

But the man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes in front of him was not someone he could offend.

This man's name is Tang Zai, and he is an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect. At the age of 50, he is already at the ninth level of Xiantian cultivation. He is very likely to break through to the martial arts realm before the age of 60. Such martial arts talent is rare in the Haoran Sect. Also among the geniuses.

This time Tang Zai came to Yu Shuzhai with a mission to spy on the intelligence of King Wu Zhao Hongming. He was asked to cooperate fully and had no way to refuse.

In fact, not to mention him, even the Black Clothes Society, which was attached to the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom, did not have much room for maneuver in front of the Zhao Kingdom's number one martial arts force.

Not to mention, Tang Zai's master was one of the elders of the Haoran Sect, so he felt despair for a moment.

Shu Ziteng said against his will: "Sir, you are right, I will make arrangements right now."

At this time, Tang Zai suddenly had an idea. "Hold on, I just thought of a good way to test it."

Shu Ziteng said: "This villain is stupid, why would you please speak clearly?"

"You don't have to let your spies in Prince Wu's Mansion deliberately approach to inquire for information." Tang Zai said with a half-smile: "Have your spies in Prince Wu's Mansion reached the Aperture Realm in cultivation?"

"You have already mastered the sixth level."

"Then she can be allowed to kill King Wu in her own name."

"Ah?" Shu Ziteng couldn't help shouting.

Tang Zai paced back and forth in the academy with his hands behind his back and said: "She was originally the wife of Chenjiazhuang. The destruction of Chenjiazhuang by Mingjiao had something to do with King Wu. If she attacks King Wu in the name of revenge against Chen Shenghai, she will be suspicious of him no matter what. Don’t come to us.”

"If King Wu can guard against it, then it means that he is a high-level martial artist. The rumors in Daliang are undoubtedly true, and we can take action. If he dies, it is just a woman's revenge. In this way, we can quickly find out the situation, Instead of us running around like headless flies.”

Faced with Tang Zai's plan, Shu Ziteng couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Because no matter where you look at it, there is nothing wrong with this approach.

"What, you can't bear to let me go as a spy?" Tang Zai frowned when he saw Shu Ziteng's appearance and said, "Don't forget, apart from you, even the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom must be respectful in front of our Haoran Sect and dare not have any disobedience. Do you want to break this rule?"

"How dare you, little man." Shu Ziteng said with an apologetic smile, "I'll do it right away."

"There's someone out there!"

Shu Ziteng looked shocked and hurriedly followed Tang Zai and rushed out.

They discovered that there was a beggar hiding from the rain under the eaves of the house at some point outside the door, with a look of horror on his face.

Seeing this, Shu Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm just a beggar hiding from the rain, nothing serious."

Tang Zai stood in front of the beggar without saying a word.

"Sir, please forgive me. I'm just here to take shelter from the rain. I'm an eyesore to you. I'm leaving now." Beggar begged for mercy in fear.

After saying that, he propped himself up with a stick and left in a hurry.

When Qier and Tang Zai passed by each other, their backs were turned to the two of them.

Tang Zai suddenly took action, slashing away with his palm, and the whistling wind landed on the back of Beggar's neck.

Beggar let out a muffled sound and fell to the ground.

Dark red blood began to flow out from the corners of his mouth, mixed with the rain, and there was more air coming out and less air entering. He gradually lost his breath and turned into a corpse.

Shu Ziteng said in surprise: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Tang Zai said expressionlessly: "Look at how clean his fingernails are. It's unlikely that he is a beggar. He may have evil intentions. In order to avoid leaking the news, it is better to kill him first."

Shu Ziteng said nothing more.

He is just a beggar. There are many beggars in Lulingcheng. If you die, you will die.

No big deal.

"Go back." Tang Zai waved his sleeves and headed back home. Shu Ziteng looked at the beggar with a look of compassion, couldn't help but sigh, and followed Tang Zai.

Not long after they left, invisible ripples appeared in a corner outside Yu Study Room.

After a moment, a transparent humanoid silhouette appeared in the rain.

The human figure moved around and finally walked into a deserted alley.

As if an invisibility cloak had been lifted, a young man appeared in the alley.

"You must tell Eunuch Gao about this matter as soon as possible and ask him to inform His Highness King Wu."

He took out the triangular flag stuck on his back, rolled it up, hid it close to his body, and walked towards Prince Wu's Mansion with his head lowered.

He seemed to be already familiar with Prince Wu's Mansion. He walked to the back street, knocked on the back door, walked in and waited patiently in an ordinary room.

Not long after the meeting, Gao Yanshi walked in after getting the news.

After he saw the man, he said with a smile: "Gu Jinwei, please come and pay me a favor. Did you get any news?"

The man hurriedly said: "I found some news in Yu Study Room."

Gao Yanshi stretched out his hand and said, "Gu Jinwei, please sit down. Let's talk slowly."

The man didn't show any pretense and found a chair in the room and sat down.

His name is Gu Bin, and he is a guard beside Zhao Hongming.

A few months ago, when Zhao Hongming conquered the Tiehu Gang, he was left in the Mingjiao to secretly assist Chang Wubing.

During the expansion of the Ming Cult, he made some small contributions and was rewarded with a formation flag to hide his figure.

When Zhao Hongming asked to monitor Yu Shuzhai, Gao Yanshi thought of him almost immediately and asked him to pay more attention when he had nothing to do. He didn't expect the results to come out so quickly.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that Gu Bin was just passing by on a rainy day, so he went to listen in the corner and heard very important news.

He did not dare to neglect and immediately ran to Prince Wu's Mansion.

Gu Bin didn't hold anything back and told Gao Yanshi everything he heard.

Gao Yanshi, who was sitting on the chair, listened very carefully. After hearing everything, his face changed slightly, knowing that this situation was a dangerous signal.

However, he has experienced a lot with Zhao Hongming, and he will not become helpless and lose his opinion just because of this incident.

Especially after Zhao Hongming's last beating, he became much calmer in his work.

His mind quickly sobered up and he said: "Gu Jinwei has a lot of connections in the world. I would like to ask Gu Jinwei to find out more about the identities of the two people in Yu Study Studio."

Gu Bin nodded, agreed, got up and left without saying anything.

After Gu Bin left, Gao Yanshi hurriedly found Liang Ying and asked him to start searching for information about Zhao Guo and the daily whereabouts of the two people in Yu Study Studio.

Suddenly, the entire Ying County, especially Luling City, began to be turbulent.

……

That night.

The beautiful woman in Prince Wu's palace received Shu Ziteng's order, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Shu Ziteng's order was for her to approach Zhao Hongming secretly, and then assassinate Zhao Hongming in the name of revenge against Chen Shenghe.

During her time living in Prince Wu's Mansion, she found that this Prince Wu's Mansion was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, making it impossible to escape from it.

This order was no different than asking her to die.

Thinking that she worked hard and sacrificed her appearance to cater to others, but in the end she still couldn't escape the fate of being an outcast.

The beautiful woman felt sad in her heart and couldn't help but smile miserably.

In a few days, she would almost have the opportunity to serve Zhao Hongming, and then it would be time for her to take action.

Thinking that she only had these few days to live, she lay in bed tossing and turning at night.Gao Yanshi on the other side also couldn't sleep all night.

He knew that "speed" was the key to intelligence, so as soon as he got the information, he mobilized almost all his connections.

Fortunately, after a night of hard work, the people below collected all the information that should be collected the next day.

Gao Yanshi took the information written on the black paper and said with a smile: "That's great."

He walked quickly towards a secret cellar in Prince Wu's Mansion.

Gao Yanshi practiced the Tianshan Boy's Kung Fu, and all the energy he cultivated was lost everywhere, so even if he didn't sleep all night, he was full of energy and did not feel any fatigue.

"Ninety times..."

"91 times..."

"92 times..."

In the cellar, the light is dim.

A humanoid monster had its feet locked with iron chains and fell apart amidst the roar.

In front of the humanoid monster, stood a being even more monster than it.

Nearly two meters tall, his naked upper body was covered with sarcoma-like muscles.

This person is none other than Zhao Hongming, who used the [Shattering Yue] skill.

This monster captured from Shangxianmen became a toy for Zhao Hongming to practice due to its immortality.

Looking at the monster's body that began to squirm again on the ground, he murmured to himself: "This monster has died a total of 92 times, and there is still no sign of death. Is there really such an immortal creature in the world?"

Huh?
No, there are changes.

Zhao Hongming found the squirming pieces of flesh on the ground, and the recovery speed slowed down.

In other words, if this undead creature wants to be resurrected, it will consume energy.

I just don’t know how long this kind of consumption can last.

Under Zhao Hongming's watch, the monster in life returned to its original state.

After it was repaired, it no longer had the majesty it had before. Zhao Hongming shivered in a corner as if he had encountered some terrifying existence.

But Zhao Hongming did not let it go.

Zhao Hongming grabbed the humanoid monster's head with his big hands and dragged it out.

The humanoid monster held its hands firmly on the ground, leaving a series of claw marks.

Zhao Hongming pressed its head firmly to the ground.

crackling...

Arcs of electricity appeared on his hands, and lightning appeared.

The humanoid monster kept struggling and wailing, but this could not change its fate.

"boom!"

Zhao Hongming exerted force on his palms, and two true meanings burst out from his palms, making a muffled thunderous sound.

The humanoid monsters under his command were once again torn apart.

"93 times..."

Zhao Hongming released his palm and looked at everything indifferently.

"Your Highness. This servant has something to report."

Outside the cellar, Gao Yanshi's voice came in.

After Zhao Hongming heard this, he had an idea, and his body began to squeeze and shrink, and in the blink of an eye it returned to its original normal appearance.

He turned around and took off a robe from the wall and put it on himself, covering his well-proportioned muscles, and walked out.

Seeing Gao Yanshi respectfully guarding the door, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, I have heard that the Haoran Sect of Zhao State has sent an inner disciple of the ninth grade Xiantian to come in, intending to spy on Your Highness."

"Huh?" Zhao Hongming realized a serious problem: "Does it mean that the news about my cultivation has been leaked?"

Gao Yanshi said: "Yes."

Zhao Hongming has been mentally prepared for this. It is impossible to hide the news of his cultivation so tightly. It is only a matter of time before the news comes out.

But the moment he really knew it, he felt a little stressed.

This means that it won't be long before someone big will pay attention to him.

You still have to seize the time to practice and improve your cultivation.

"This Haoran Sect disciple, what plans does he have next?"

Gao Yanshi confessed, knelt down and said: "This slave deserves death. They have placed spies around His Highness. They plan to let the spies get close to His Highness, and then assassinate him to find out the details of His Highness."

"Oh, the spy you are talking about is the beautiful woman brought into the palace from Chenjiazhuang, right?" Zhao Hongming said lightly.

Gao Yanshi's expression was startled. He obviously did not expect that Zhao Hongming had known about it in advance. He was shocked: "What is His Highness's plan? Are you going to execute her in Lingchi?"

"There's no rush. She still has some use, let's wait until next year. But right now, this Haoran Sect disciple can't stay."

Gao Yanshi said: "Reporting to Your Highness, this disciple of the Haoran Sect often drinks at Wanhua Tower during this period in recent days. I have collected the route of his activities. Your Highness, please take a look."

He handed over a sketch and held it in both hands.

Zhao Hongming took the sketch, spread it out, and found that all the movements of the disciples of the Haoran Sect were marked on it, showing a satisfied look.

It seems that the last beating had some effect.

"You have done well. After practicing in the palace for so long, I am going to stretch my muscles."

Zhao Hongming took a step forward, and his figure turned into an afterimage and suddenly disappeared into the palace.

When it was getting dark, Tang Zai walked out of Wanhua Tower with a strong smell of alcohol all over his body.

His face was flushed, and he kept recalling the snow-white touch and the refreshing body fragrance in his mind.

"I didn't expect that there is such a top quality product in Luling City. I am so pleased with it."

Suddenly, the hairs all over his body trembled, and with a sudden thought, he turned around suddenly.

Not far away, a burly figure rushed in front of him like an arrow from a bow, and punched him head-on.

Tang Zai didn't dare to be careless. His whole body was filled with zhenqi, and he followed up with the same punch.

How brave, how dare you do something to yourself.

boom!
The two fists made contact, and an arc of electricity exploded from the fist surface.

Tang Zai only felt waves of numbness in his arm, and then the numbness turned into pain, and his arm was broken inch by inch.

The whole person flew backwards, but he didn't fly very far.

The burly figure had already caught up with him and punched him hard in the chest. Powerful force burst out from his fist, directly opening a bloody hole in his chest.

The heart in the body was completely shattered.

boom.

Tang Zai's whole body was smashed to the ground, and he couldn't help but spurt a stream of blood from his mouth.

His eyes were wide open, full of unwilling disbelief, and he wanted to straighten up.

Tang Zai's body softened and he collapsed, his eyes quickly dimmed, and he died completely.

The burly figure came forward, a pair of cold eyes glanced at him, and after confirming that he was dead, he did not stay long and left in a flash.
