213 Threat
September 1322th, [-] in the new Yu calendar, Xu time
The autumn wind blows, and the city of Jinling County is a little deserted at night, and there are only a few pedestrians on the streets. Like Tongling County, Jinling County also has the Sacred Heart Residence, the Warden, and the Holy Church of the Juncheng Mansion, all of which are located in the city. 's exact center.

It's not too late at night, and the lights are still brightly lit in the Sacred Heart Residence, and diners from the top hotels are still coming and going. The same is true for the Sacred Heart Residence and the Juncheng Mansion next to it. However, in addition to these three places with lights on, there is another The place where the lights were also not completely turned off was the Shen family.

After all, it is the only second-rate force in Jinling. At this time, there are still two eighth-level warriors watching at the door of Shen's residence. Basically, there are ten steps, one sentry, fifty steps and one post inside the residence, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

A horse galloped from a distance. When the two guards at the door saw the young man in white who had originally wanted to stop him and saw the anxious expression on the horse, they quickly stopped and opened the door behind him obediently. They turned around and faced towards the house at the same time. The young man bowed and saluted.

"Greetings to the young master!"

Shen Yutian didn't have time to pay attention at all. Under the surprised eyes of the two guards, he got off his horse and almost rushed into the house.

"What's going on? It's late at night. Why is the young master in such a hurry?"

"It looks like something big has happened."

"What big thing can happen recently? So many Jinling County troops have been transferred away. Even Zhou Hong doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of the family master. What else can happen that can make the young family master look like this?"

"I do not know……"

…………

"Dad, something happened over at Jinwu Mountain. Three thousand elite troops who came from nowhere have surrounded the Zhu family's lair. The Zhu family has sent people into the city to ask for help from us!"

"what?"

In the Shen family's main hall, Shen Gufan looked at his son Shen Yutian who was panicking and stood up from the main seat with disbelief on his face.

Jinwu Mountain is five miles south of the county town. It is a very inconspicuous hill in Jinling County. Not many people go there on weekdays. Only a few people in the county know that it is the den of Zhu's killers. Shen and Zhu have cooperated for many years. Naturally, It's also clear.

"There are three thousand elite troops. Jinling County has a total of [-] troops. Forty thousand of them were transferred away by Peng Yuhu. The remaining [-] troops are in the county prime minister's house. Where can the three thousand elites come from? It's impossible!"

"It's true. Many people in the city have seen it with their own eyes. The three thousand troops are all wearing black armor. The soldiers have the lowest cultivation level of the seventh level. All the weapons in their hands are Fanpinzhen and other weapons. Zhu's The killer has almost no power to resist. Zhu Wuzhen and a group of Zhu clan members are resisting desperately. If we wait a little longer, the Zhu clan people in Jinwushan will be killed..."

After hearing what Shen Yutian said, Shen Gufan realized the seriousness of the problem. His expression suddenly changed several times. He didn't dare to delay anymore and said: "Quickly inform the masters in the clan and follow me immediately to the Golden House. Mountain, rush to Zhu's aid."

"Yes, Father!"

The Zhu family has brought a lot of benefits to the Shen family over the years. It is impossible for the Shen family to just sit back and watch them be destroyed. Shen Gufan stood there, his expression flickering several times. For some reason, all the thoughts in his mind were that he left a few days ago. The two brothers of the Hou family in the county.

"Could it be...?"

Just as a suspicion arose in Shen Gufan's mind, he suddenly noticed a strong aura rushing southward from the Juncheng's Mansion not far away. His expression suddenly changed. Before his son could inform the masters of the clan, the Grand Master Xiu In order to stimulate it, his body suddenly turned into a hurricane and rushed towards Jinwu Mountain.

…………

On Jinwu Mountain, the thick blood of Hou's soldiers covered the mountain col, and surrounded thousands of black-clad and masked warriors on the mountain. These warriors tried to break out at night, but the black-armored soldiers who besieged them were all very powerful, and there was no one at all. He was able to escape, but as people continued to be killed, the encirclement became smaller and smaller.

A few Gang Qi Realm warriors tried to charge into the formation with force, but were immediately surrounded by Hou's Gang Qi Realm warriors, making it impossible to break through.

A middle-aged voice with some solemnity and solemnity resounded through the air.

"Hou Laosi, ask yourself, I, the Zhu family, have never offended you, so what does the Qinglong Society have to do with your Hou family? Do you really want to fight to the death with me, the Zhu family, for Fang Jinghong?"

Many Jinling County experts who were watching in the dark suddenly raised their heads and looked at the angry and gloomy Zhu Wuzhen, the leader of the Zhu clan, in mid-air.

"I don't know anything about the Qinglong Society or Fang Jinghong. Hou Mou only knows that the Zhu family is engaged in assassination. It is cruel and ruthless and kills innocent people indiscriminately. It has long been tolerated by Xingnan Prefecture. I, the Hou family, are now doing it for All the people in the government, get rid of this scourge like you!"

In front of the Hou family's army, Hou Yujie was dressed in dark red clothes, with a stern and sinister face. He was holding the green jade blade given to him by Hou Yuduan, which was the original weapon of Gu Chenfeng, the ninth swordsman of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. While speaking, he also Don't forget to take away a black-clad and masked Zhu family assassin with one sword. After a moment of pause, he continued to speak.

"The fish will definitely die, but it doesn't matter if the net is broken!"

Zhu Wuzhen, a master of the third level of Grand Master, was so humiliated by Hou Yujie, who had not cultivated in the gathering evil stage, and he was very angry in his heart. But looking at the Zhu clan members who were dying all around, and the three thousand elite troops behind Hou Yujie, they exuded enough power to suppress him. With half the strength of the strong energy and blood, he still chose to endure it.

"Fourth Young Master, I, the Zhu family, have absolutely no intention of being an enemy of the Hou family. If Fang Jinghong of the Qinglong Society really has such a great effect on you, the Hou family, we will immediately withdraw the kill order and promise not to do so in the future. How about if you just stop causing trouble for him?"

"It's really long-winded. Didn't I just say that I, the Hou family, are now doing harm to the people? I don't know anything about Qinglonghui or Fang Jinghong, and they have nothing to do with me, the Hou family. The Jinling must-kill order cannot be withdrawn. What does withdrawing have to do with me..."

Now I know I regret it, it’s too late!
A ray of sharp light flashed in Hou Yujie's eyes, and he galloped forward. The Gangsha was activated, and once again drew a sword light as dense as raindrops, covering a large area of ​​Zhu's killers. At the same time, he shouted sharply: "The army will follow." I charge to kill, and I must not let anyone escape from the Zhu family."

"Yes!!!"

The three-thousand-strong army roared forward immediately. What they wore and held in their hands were all rare mortal objects that they had just bought from Fucheng. Facing Zhu's group of assassins whose cultivation level could not reach the fifth or sixth level, or To say that the rabble was overwhelming, in just over ten breaths, the Zhu family's camp was dispersed, and less than half of them died.

There were two first-level masters beside Zhu Wuzhen, both of whom were high-ranking members of the Zhu clan. Seeing that there were too many casualties among the clan's children, the three of them looked a little anxious.

The Zhu family could not make a living in the assassination business, so they could only live in hiding in the dark. They could not recruit people with other surnames like a normal family. These children of the same surname who could stay at the helm of Jinwushan were considered members of the clan. The ones with higher talents are naturally extremely anxious when they are being slaughtered like this by the Hou family.

"This bastard who doesn't like oil and salt, when Shen Gufan arrives, I must kill him with my own hands, kill him with my own hands."

Zhu Wuzhen watched Hou Yujie lead the army to slaughter the tribesmen wantonly, and his anger almost burst out of his eyes. A bright light suddenly appeared on his palm. He finally couldn't help but screamed and attacked Hou Yujie.

"Little bastard, stop!"

After all, he is the master of the third level of Yuanqi. Although part of his strength was suppressed by the blood of Hou's army, Hou Yujie, who could not stop him in the second level of Gangqi, was still able to do it. The light on his palm flashed in the air with his figure. After a few glances, he quietly approached Hou Yujie.

Hou Yujie's eyes had been paying attention to him for a long time. When he saw this, he did not retreat but moved forward. The Gangsha gathered the Qingyu Feng. He stepped on the ground with his legs and suddenly flew forward with a long sword in his hand. He used the speed in the air that had been promoted to the third-rate martial arts by his elder brother. With the Rain Sword Technique, the green and red sword light all over the sky turned into dense raindrops, covering Zhu Wuzhen's head.

"court death!"

When Zhu Wuzhen saw this, a joyful look suddenly appeared on his face. If Hou Yujie gave in and hid in the middle of the army, he would have nothing to do, but he never expected that Hou Yujie did not retreat, but planned to confront him head-on.

In his eyes, this kind of behavior is no different than seeking death.

The murderous intention in his heart was concentrated, his eyes were cold, and the light in his hand suddenly passed through the rain of swords in the sky. The next moment, the person and the light appeared in front of Hou Yujie, and without any hesitation, it went straight to his throat.

As a killer, the most important thing is efficiency. Since Zhu is doing this business, he naturally practices martial arts in this way.

The bright light reflected in Hou Yujie's pupils, carrying a fatal and dangerous aura. Zhu Wuzhen seemed to have seen the tragic scene of Hou Yujie's throat being broken by himself, and a sadistic smile suddenly appeared on his face.

However, when he looked up and saw Hou Yujie's face, he found that the other person's smile was even scarier than his own, and his heart tightened.

Hou Yujie raised the green jade blade that he had not let go of, and the evil spirit all around him passed through the twelve main meridians in his body, and suddenly a row of hundreds of bloody sword shadows like eagle wings were drawn in the air. The sword shadows merged together after an instant, turning into a line of blood. With a whistling sound, the sword energy galloped towards Zhu Wuzhen's body.

This is a deadly sword shadow!

Zhu Wuzhen's heart suddenly stopped, not daring to be careless, the bright light in his hand that was originally directed towards Hou Yujie's neck suddenly changed direction, blocking the bloody sword light in front of him.

Sonorous…………

"It turned out to be a dagger."

"It's enough to kill you!"

Hou Yujie looked at the bright light that came into contact with Qing Yufeng. It turned out to be a small dagger no more than five inches long, and he sneered. Zhu Wuzhen relied on himself to block the bloody sword light. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly retracted the dagger. His deft right hand drew a star in the air, trying to separate Hou Yujie's throat again.

However, what he thought was still too simple...

"If you can block my swordsmanship, how can you block my sword!"

What do you mean?
Hearing Hou Yujie's words, Zhu Wuzhen was stunned. Before he could understand it, he heard a sudden "click" sound from the dagger in his hand. He looked down at the dagger broken into two parts. He seemed to have thought of something and looked up. The green jade blade in Hou Yujie's hand suddenly flashed with horror in his eyes.

"How is it possible? This sword of yours is a spiritual weapon!"

His dagger is named Xingxing, ranked 214th on the list of famous weapons. It is a rare fine weapon in the world, but it can't even withstand Hou Yujie's sword. This situation can only mean one thing, that is, this dagger in his hand is Bing Chang Sword is a spiritual weapon...

What responded to him was Hou Yujie's increasingly fierce sword light. With his strength suppressed by nearly half of the Hou family's army, coupled with the long sword that was a spiritual weapon, in full view of everyone, Zhu Wuzhen, the dignified Grand Master of the Third Realm, actually tried to do something with Hou Yujie. nothing.

The Zhu family's killers' eyes were filled with despair when they saw this scene. The Hou family's three thousand army killed even more vigorously, and the encirclement and suppression of the Zhu family accelerated again. Even though there were still two great masters, the Zhu family They could only retreat steadily and be slaughtered continuously.

"This... isn't Hou Laosi just cultivating in the Jusha period? What happened to Zhu Wuzhen?"

"With the bloody suppression of Hou's army, Zhu Wuzhen cannot use his full strength!"

"No matter how hard the blood energy is suppressed, Zhu Wuzhen at least still has the strength of the Grandmaster level. It should be more than enough to defeat Hou Yujie who is in the gathering evil stage..."

"The Bingjian in his hand is not a mortal thing. Didn't you see that Zhu Wuzhen's stellar dagger was cut into two pieces? Zhu's situation is really miserable this time!"

………………

The movement in Jinwu Mountain had already alarmed many people. The heads of the six influential families in Jinling County were watching from one side, watching Hou Yujie and his [-] troops of the Hou family, who were continuously slaughtering the Zhu family members, with eyes filled with tears. It's shocking and moving.

"Hou Laosi, stop it!"

Just when Zhu's resistance was getting weaker and the battlefield situation was about to become clear, a voice suddenly came from the horizon. Zhu Wuzhen's face suddenly showed a touch of ecstasy, and his eyes looking at Hou Yujie were extremely cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

On the contrary, Hou Yujie heard this voice and knew that Shen Gufan had arrived. Instead of stopping, his attack became more fierce, completely ignoring the powerful aura behind him that was approaching him.

Shen Gufan's goal was very clear. The sword light in his hand was pointed directly at Hou Yujie, who was fighting Zhu Wuzhen. Even though he knew that the Hou family was in the spotlight recently, he did not hesitate at all. His attack was a killing move. Obviously, he not only wanted to stop Hou Yujie, but also wanted to stop Hou Yujie. Even wanted to kill him.

However, just when the long sword in his hand was less than ten meters away from Hou Yujie, a figure suddenly stood in the middle. It was Zhou Hong, the county magistrate with a mocking face.

"Master Shen, what are you doing here at Jinwu Mountain at such a late hour?"

Shen Gufan looked at the corpses of Zhu clan members scattered all over the place, his face was so gloomy that he was about to bleed. He looked at the county magistrate Zhou Hong who was standing in front of him, and then at Hou Yujie who had not stopped behind him, and the Hou family's three thousand Da Jun, first took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke in a low voice.

"Zhou Hong, what do you mean?"

Hearing that Shen Gufan stopped calling Jun Cheng and instead called him by his first name, Zhou Hong's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he realized that this was the expression of Shen Gufan's extreme anger, and his mood immediately It got better, and he said in a joking tone: "Master Shen can't see with his eyes? What else can it mean? Since Zhu's business is assassination, he has offended too many people, and now it is causing disaster, it is normal. …”

Having said this, he paused for a moment, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Why, Master Shen is running here in such a hurry. Could it be that he wants to save the Zhu family? Could it be that this master's family is also related to your Shen family?"

At this question, Shen Gufan's brows twitched sharply and his expression became even more gloomy.

Not only the local people in Jinling County knew about the relationship between the Shen family and the Zhu family, anyone in Xingnan Mansion with any brains could guess it, but even so, he did not dare to admit it publicly.

Zhou Hong is right. Anyone who engages in assassination will offend many people, and the Zhu family is naturally no exception. Although everyone knows that the Zhu family is supported by the Shen family, as long as they do not admit it publicly, they cannot act openly and honestly. , found him on Shen's head.

Shen Gufan looked at the Zhu clan's seven or eighty-eight people who had been killed, leaving only the three great masters and less than two or three hundred clansmen. His face was as gloomy as blood. He knew that if he did not stop the Hou clan's massacre, the Zhu clan would I'm afraid not even a single person will be left alive.

But it is definitely unrealistic to use force to stop it. When Zhou Hong appears here, he has obviously colluded with the Hou family. If he takes action, Zhou Hong will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Therefore, not only will the action not be effective, On the contrary, it will fall into the shoes of others.

"Four Young Master Hou, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstandings about what happened tonight. Please give Shen some face and let it go. I promise that the Zhu family will not cause any trouble to the Hou family in the future. If you don't stop..."

Shen Gufan paused for a moment, organized his words, looked at Hou Yujie, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and continued in a low voice: "The Hou family is indeed in the spotlight recently, but I, the Shen family, am not a vegetarian, so I invite the Fourth Young Master, Think carefully!"

When he said these words, Shen Gufan was still full of energy. The originally noisy Jinwu Mountain suddenly became quiet as Hou Yujie waved his hand to stop the massacre of Hou's army. Many people around him also heard his words, and they all sneered. looked at Hou Yujie.

Even Shen Gufan threatened, so there was nothing left to say.

The matter should be almost over here!
Everyone has this thought in their mind.
