The Xiangyi Tai sword, combined with Yangzhou Man's internal strength, plus the Posa step, swordsmanship, internal strength, and footwork, these three martial arts are all top-notch. Except for the internal strength which has not reached the peak, Zhou Chen has already reached the pinnacle in the rest of the swordsmanship and footwork.

This sword was a sure-kill move, blocking all of Zhao Ji's escape routes, and it was so fast that Zhao Ji could not resist it.

Zhao Jineng could be the leader of the Six Paths Hall, so naturally his fighting skills would not be bad. Unfortunately, he met Zhou Chen, who was full of murderous intent. Even though he had prepared in advance with the cooperation of his three unique skills, he still could not block Zhou Chen's fatal move in a head-on confrontation.

The last scene Zhao Ji saw in this world was the sword light that cut across his throat.

After killing Zhao Ji, Zhou Chen didn't stop at all. He jumped up, used his lightness skills, and quickly disappeared into the night.

It was not until Zhou Chen disappeared that the remaining members of Liudaotang saw that Zhao Ji had fallen to the ground with blood spurting from around his neck.

"My lord, he was killed."

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. From the beginning till now, it had only been a few breaths of time. It was so fast that they were overwhelmed. And then Zhao Ji died. His death was even more ruthless than that of a minion.

What they could not accept the most was that they didn’t even know who the other party was. This killer who suddenly rushed out was so cruel.

Zhou Chen had already made arrangements for his next action, so after killing Zhao Ji, he immediately sneaked into the mourning hall of Ning's house.

His internal strength had not yet reached its peak, but his lightness skills had reached the pinnacle. He sneaked into Ning's house without being discovered by anyone, including Yuanlu who was helping Ning Yuanzhou look after the house.

There were two coffins in the mourning hall. When Zhou Chen saw Ning Yuanzhou's coffin, he smiled. Here came the chance for him to be a hero and save the beauty.

Ren Ruyi held his breath, not daring to make a sound, and hid quietly in the coffin.

She killed the human members of the Six Paths Hall today and was poisoned. She had to take the All-Poison Elixir. Now her internal strength has been completely lost. The people from the Six Paths Hall are chasing her very closely. She has no choice but to hide in this house.

When she found two coffins, she suddenly had an idea and hid in one of the empty coffins, waiting patiently.

Suddenly, the coffin lid above her head was pushed open, but before she could move, a man in black got into the coffin and covered her mouth.

The next moment, a man's voice was heard.

"Don't make a sound."

But Ren Ruyi was not someone who could be bullied. The space inside was not big to begin with, and when two people came in, they were naturally squeezed together.

A hairpin appeared in Ren Ruyi's hand and she stabbed Zhou Chen with it, but Zhou Chen grabbed her wrist and applied a little force, causing pain to appear on Ren Ruyi's face.

"Don't move, I won't hurt you, Bai Que from the Red Guards, there are people from the Six Paths Hall outside."

Ren Ruyi's pupils shrank slightly. If she had not lost her internal strength, she would not be afraid of being discovered. But now that she had lost all her internal strength, she felt very uneasy about being discovered by this man in black whose origins were unknown.

She had to relax her tense body, as if she agreed with Zhou Chen's words.

The coffin lid was closed and it was dark inside. Because the space was small, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi were almost pressed together and could smell each other.

Ren Ruyi was very uncomfortable. Although she concealed her identity and became Bai Que of Zhuyiwei, this trip to Wudu was only her first action. In order to complete the mission, she had come into contact with many people and killed many people before.

But she had never been so close to a man, and that was while lying in a coffin.

But she is not an ordinary person. After realizing that she could not do anything to Zhou Chen, she started thinking about how to escape.

Who is this strange man in black? How did he know her identity? How did he know that she was hiding in this coffin? Was it a coincidence or intentional? What was his purpose in doing this?

While she was thinking, she suddenly felt that she was being watched. She turned her head slightly and saw the man leaning against her, staring at her. In the darkness, his eyes were particularly conspicuous, which made her very uncomfortable.

Compared to Ren Ruyi's uneasiness and unhappiness, Zhou Chen was much more content. He had finished what he needed to do, and the next step was to complete the mission. Now being able to lie in a coffin with Ren Ruyi, being so close to each other, was also a different kind of enjoyment.

Being in such close contact, he could clearly smell her fragrance, sweat, and blood. At the same time, he also felt the tenseness of Ren Ruyi's body. She tried her best to avoid contact with him, but the space here was so small that she couldn't avoid it.

Neither of them said a word. There was total silence in the coffin. They could even hear each other's heartbeats, making the atmosphere somewhat charming.

Ren Ruyi tried hard not to let his mind wander and suppress his murderous intent, but he was determined in his heart that when he recovered, he would not be able to get around the man in black.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly, there was a noise outside the house.

Lou Qingqiang brought a group of people to the gate of Ning's house. Originally, he led people to hunt down the remnants of Zhuyiwei. He never expected that Zhao Ji, who was going to Ning's house, was assassinated while being protected by many of his men.

But he was not as brave as Zhao Ji, who dared to break into Ning's house. After being stopped by Yuanlu at the door, he hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not break into Ning's house.

Although he was Zhao Ji's subordinate, Zhang Xiang threatened Zhao Ji, not him. Whether Ning Yuanzhou could be found or not was not of much concern to him for the time being. Regardless of whether Ning Yuanzhou was really alive or even hiding in Ning's house, he had no intention of breaking in forcibly.

Of course, there is a more important reason, which is the death of Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji's martial arts skills were not weak, and he had ten good fighters around him. Instead of killing others, he killed Zhao Ji, and killed him in such a short time. He had to suspect that it was Ning Yuanzhou's conspiracy.

Because in his impression, he couldn't think of anyone else in Wudu who had such skills except Ning Yuanzhou.

Since his own life was in danger, he had to be cautious, so he led his men away from Ning's house.

When Yuanlu saw Lou Qingqiang leading his men to retreat, he clapped his hands with great pride. He thought that it was because of his own strength that he scared away Lou Qingqiang and others, and walked towards the mourning hall with a smug look on his face.

In the mourning hall, the old master's spirit tablet and coffin were set up by Ning Yuanzhou, and Ning Yuanzhou's spirit tablet and coffin were set up by him.

Ning Yuanzhou followed the army to Tianmen Pass and has not returned yet, and there is no news, so he thought Ning Yuanzhou died on the battlefield. He prepared a coffin and a memorial tablet for him, and he himself stayed at Ning's house to guard Ningtou's home.

The closer he got to the mourning hall, the more uncomfortable he felt. To him, Ning Yuanzhou was not only his boss, but also his eldest brother and his only relative.

Now that Ning Tou'er is gone, and he himself has a heart disease, he doesn't know when he will die. He hopes that he can die here, with the old hall master and Ning Tou'er.

But the moment he stepped into the mourning hall, he saw that there was suddenly one more person inside. The familiar figure made him feel creepy in an instant.

"who are you?"

"It's only been a short while since we last met, and you don't recognize me?"

The man slowly turned around and looked at Yuanlu with a smile. Yuanlu's pupils widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"Ning, Ning, Boss? You, you were not at the front line, how come you are back, you are not dead..."

Seeing Yuanlu crying with joy, Ning Yuanzhou smiled and waved at him. Yuanlu immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Of course I'm not dead. I even sneaked back here."

"That's great, Boss. I'm so glad you're okay. When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

"They say I came back secretly, so I must be careful and not expose my whereabouts."

"Then why are you coming out by yourself now?"

"Because Zhao Ji was killed."

This is what he learned from the people from Liudaotang who had just arrived. Zhao Ji brought people to find him, but was ambushed and killed on the way. This made him feel very strange.

"Zhao Ji is dead?"

Yuanlu was shocked. He had been staying in Wudu and had heard a lot about what Zhao Ji had done. He despised Zhao Ji in his heart, but Zhao Ji was the head of Liudaotang after all. He had heard that Zhao Ji had done bad things just two days ago. How could he suddenly die?

Ning Yuanzhou said: "I have decided to retire and no longer care about these things, but before that, there is one thing I need to do."

As he said this, he winked at Yuanlu, and then he walked to the coffin prepared for him.

When Yuanlu saw his actions, he immediately reached into his bag, ready to release a hidden weapon at any time, and nodded slightly to Ning Yuanzhou.

Ning Yuanzhou used his internal energy and slapped the coffin with his palm. The powerful internal energy shattered the entire coffin into pieces.

Two figures rose into the air from the shattered coffin, quickly moved in the air, stepped on the beams, and then landed lightly on the ground.

Yuanlu's hidden weapon has been obtained and is aimed at the two figures that suddenly appear.

"Yuanlu, don't do it."

Ning Yuanzhou stopped Yuanlu who was about to throw a hidden weapon, and looked at Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi who came out of the coffin with a frown.

"Zhou Chen? What's going on with you?"

He was dressed in black, holding a woman in his arms, and he came out of his own coffin. Even with Ning Yuanzhou's smart brain, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

After seeing Zhou Chen's appearance, Yuan Lu was also stunned: "Brother Zhou, why are you in the boss's coffin? And this sister, what's wrong with you two?"

Just as Zhou Chen was about to speak, Ren Ruyi, who was in his arms, forcefully opened his arms, took a few steps away from him, and looked around vigilantly.

Zhou Chen didn't care and just looked at Ning Yuanzhou with a smile.

"Long time no see, Ningtou."

"It's been a long time since we last met, and I never thought that we would meet again in this kind of occasion."

Ning Yuanzhou had an inexplicable expression. For some reason, when he looked at the familiar Zhou Chen in front of him, he actually felt a little strange. Zhou Chen seemed to have become a little different from before.

Also, why would he bring a woman with him, hiding her in his mansion and in his coffin?

"Zhao Ji's death has something to do with you, right, Zhou Chen?"

Zhou Chen praised: "As expected of you, Hall Master Ning. You guessed it right. I was indeed the one who killed Zhao Ji. He got the news that you were not dead and wanted to come here to force you to show up. So I killed him halfway and kept the news that you were still alive. You should thank me."

Chapter 1393 Ning Yuanzhou, delicate and weak, Ren Ruyi

"Did you really kill Zhao Ji?"

"Did you kill Zhao Ji?"

Ning Yuanzhou and Yuanlu were both very surprised, but Ning Yuanzhou had some guesses and doubts, while Yuanlu was purely shocked.

Zhou Chen is a member of the Senluo Palace in the Hell Realm. Although he is not a disabled person, his fighting ability is only average in the Six Paths Hall. Although Zhao Ji's character is not very good, his martial arts skills are still strong, so it is somewhat incredible to them that Zhou Chen could kill Zhao Ji.

"This is the sword that killed Zhao Ji. If you don't believe me, you can take it and test it."

Zhou Chen threw the sword in his hand to Ning Yuanzhou. After Ning Yuanzhou took it, he just took a look at the sword before returning it to Zhou Chen.

"Why did you want to kill Zhao Ji? I heard that you have joined Zhao Ji and are now helping him rebuild the Senluo Palace."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "If I hadn't surrendered to Zhao Ji, how could I have gotten out of prison? It's true that I rebuilt Senluo Palace, but it was also a lie to Zhao Ji. Although he got me out of prison, he never believed me, and I was always playing along with him. Now, I heard that you're back, and I'm afraid you can't do it, so I'll take care of him for you."

Ning Yuanzhou frowned slightly. After not seeing him for more than half a year, he found that Zhou Chen, his former subordinate, had changed a lot.

"Zhao Ji colluded with outsiders, killed Taoists, and framed them. He deserves death, but you shouldn't be the one to do it. You are also a Taoist of the Six Paths Hall."

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "Then consider it as my withdrawal from the Six Paths Hall. To be honest, when I was thrown into prison, I was already dismissed from the Six Paths Hall as a member of the Hell Path. Although I was released later and helped rebuild the Senluo Hall, strictly speaking, Zhao Ji never let me officially join the Six Paths Hall again."

Yuanlu said stupidly, "Wouldn't that be like me, equivalent to quitting the Six Paths Hall? Then killing Zhao Ji wouldn't be a big deal."

Ning Yuanzhou glared at Yuanlu, this silly boy, he believed everything.

"From what you said, Zhao Ji came to find me, and you came to find me too. How did you know I was back?"

Zhou Chen said, "There is news that a man eight feet tall bought thirteen pieces of Zhang's shortbread in one go. We knew it was you."

Ning Yuanzhou laughed when he heard this, while Yuanlu opened his mouth wide and shouted at Ning Yuanzhou in dissatisfaction: "Boss?"

Ning Yuanzhou smiled embarrassedly and said, "Your brother has this problem. He will definitely change it next time. Don't be angry."

"Zhou Chen, being able to kill Zhao Ji shows that your martial arts have improved a lot. You... Never mind, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about this girl. You and she hid in my coffin together, but from the looks of you two, you don't seem to be familiar with each other. She should be the Zhuyiwei spy that Lou Qingqiang wants to catch."

When Ren Ruyi heard this, he lowered his head and explained: "No, I am not. Sir, please spare my life. I am not a spy."

Ning Yuanzhou said calmly, "You are not a Zhuyi Guard, so why did you come to my house in the middle of the night and hide in the coffin? What's even more coincidental is that Lou Qingqiang was leading people to search for Zhuyi Guards and found them here. Do you think it would be such a coincidence?"

Ren Ruyi pleaded pitifully, "I really don't know what the Red Guards and Blue Guards are. I'm just a dancer in the music studio. My sisters went to the Relics House to perform that day, but none of them came back. The officials from the Six Paths Hall insisted that the song they sang cursed the emperor, so they killed them all. Last night, they came to the music studio to arrest people, saying that Linglong was a spy and I was also a suspect. I didn't want to die, so I risked my innocence, but I was harmed by the guards, so I escaped."

As he spoke, he began to cry in grief.

After hearing this, the innocent Yuanlu spoke up, "Boss, I know about this. Zhao Ji slandered them as spies just to get money from them. Fortunately, the bastard Zhao Ji has been killed by Brother Zhou. He really deserved to die."

"Sister, don't cry. Don't worry. Everything is fine."

Ning Yuanzhou turned his head to look at Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, you and her have been sleeping in the same bed for a while. Do you think what she said is credible?"

Sleeping in the same bed?

What kind of talk is this.

Even Ren Ruyi, who was crying, stopped for a moment, obviously shocked by Ning Yuanzhou's description.

Zhou Chen said: "You have already made up your mind, why are you still asking me? If you are worried, just leave her to me. It just so happens that I don't have any attachment to Wudu anymore, and I am preparing to leave Wudu and travel around the world."

"Traveling around the world?"

Ning Yuanzhou asked in surprise: "Aren't you helping to rebuild Senluo Palace? Why did you suddenly quit just because you killed Zhao Ji?"

"Isn't that enough? If Zhang Song knew that I killed Zhao Ji, do you think he would let me go? What's more, you are back now. Zhao Ji just happened to be dead. I'm afraid there is no one in Liudao Hall who is more suitable to be the head than you."

"Don't, don't."

Ning Yuanzhou waved his hands hurriedly: "Forget about Liudao Hall, I don't have that intention now. This time I came back, I just wanted to pay homage to the old hall master, and then take Yuanlu to a place far away from the world to live in seclusion. I don't want to care about these things anymore, it's too tiring."

"Okay, okay, boss, no matter where you go, I will go with you." Yuanlu shouted happily.

Ning Yuanzhou then said to Zhou Chen: "What are you going to do with this woman?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I am planning to leave Wudu and travel around the world. I just happen to be in need of someone to serve me tea and water. She is perfect for me."

"You dare to keep a spy from the Zhuyi Guards by your side. Aren't you afraid that she will harm you?"
