Chapter 181: Wan Wan Du Gui

"The Wan Wan Du Gui has appeared in Anning Prefecture and killed several of our Anning Guard brothers!"

"Those dog bastards of the Ghost Ming Sect."

Wei Ming said indignantly, cursing.

Ge Hong stared at Wei Ming with wide eyes, too shocked by the news he had just heard, wanting to confirm the authenticity of the news again.

He hadn't expected that after more than ten years, he would hear news of the Wan Wan Du Gui again, and this time it was wreaking havoc in Anning Prefecture.

The previous master of the Iron Saber Martial Hall, his own teacher, had gone alone to intercept the Wan Wan Du Gui to eliminate evil for the people, only to be wounded by that bastard's poison technique and eventually lose his life.

The Wan Wan Du Gui was the fifth disciple under the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu, one of the Twelve Blood Disciples; although his notoriety was fierce, he generally only slaughtered civilians or martial arts experts.

When did he become so bold as to dare to lay hands on the Imperial Court's people?

And soldiers of the army at that.

During a previous drinking chat, Ge Hong had told the story of his background.

Wei Ming nodded to Ge Hong: "This matter has made Lord Jiang and Lord Cao furious; I heard they are about to send troops to apprehend him."

Hearing this, Ge Hong's spirit was shaken.

"The time has come!"

When he heard the three words "Wan Wan Du Gui," his body couldn't help but tremble.

Although he didn't know why the Wan Wan Du Gui would attack the Anning Guard.

But there was no doubt that this was perhaps the only chance in his life to kill the Wan Wan Du Gui; otherwise, with his own strength, he was absolutely no match for the Wan Wan Du Gui.

Holding the willow-leaf saber, his knuckles were already white.

Li Rui remained silent, lost in thought.

Just at this moment—

A voice sounded: "Just right, you are all here; follow me for a trip."

He turned his head.

And saw Ning Zhongtian striding toward the four of them.

Wei Ming was surprised: "Head Ning, what happened?"

Ning Zhongtian walked up and said in a deep voice: "It's the Wan Wan Du Gui."

The four of them were all surprised:

"Wan Wan Du Gui!"

Ning Zhongtian nodded: "According to reports from scouts, mountain folk have seen a person who looks seventy percent similar to the Wan Wan Du Gui appearing in the Xiaohegou area; General Cao has ordered me and Feng Yu to go and check."

To kill one Wan Wan Du Gui, the Anning Guard dispatched two Garrison Commanders; it couldn't be said that they didn't take it seriously.

Ge Hong was the first to speak: "Head Ning, then let's set off quickly, don't let that thief escape."

Ning Zhongtian was surprised.

He hadn't expected Ge Hong to be even more active than him in this matter.

Ning Zhongtian and Ge Hong's relationship couldn't be called close, and clearly, he didn't know about Ge Hong's teacher.

But he didn't think too much about it; it was a good thing for subordinates to be active in their work!

He nodded immediately: "Let's go."

A moment later.

Two armies of about two hundred people each marched majestically from the West Gate of the Anning Guard onto the official road, heading toward the Xiaohegou direction.

Even if they used human-sea tactics to surround the mountain, they had to ferret out the Wan Wan Du Gui.

The night was as dark as ink.

On a hilltop in Xiaohegou.

Three figures stood side by side, looking far away at the dots of firelight in the mountain forest.

"Stupid."

Gao Zhen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mockery.

He turned to look at the short, thin man beside him: "Fifth Senior Brother, Eleventh Senior Brother, the following matters are not suitable for me to show my face; I will leave them to you."

"Easy to say."

Wan Wan Du Gui Chou Ping laughed wickedly in a hoarse voice.

He and Wu Yun had come to Qinghe this time not just because they heard about the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu's mission.

Coming to help voluntarily?

That could also be said.

Wicked laughter sounded from the Wan Wan Du Gui Chou Ping's mouth, no better than a ghost crying; he looked at Gao Zhen with a smile: "Tao Shidi, I heard Master gave you a wisp of Immortal Qi."

Gao Zhen's heart tightened.

Terrible!

He glanced at Wu Yun and his eyes turned cold.

Clearly, Wu Yun had long known about him obtaining Immortal Qi, just that he had never revealed it in front of him.

Why hide it? Of course, because his strength wasn't enough.

Now that the Wan Wan Du Gui had appeared, he finally brought it out.

Chou Ping's intention was very clear.

It was to use power to pressure people.

The Twelve Blood Disciples were never brothers who loved each other; before he became one of the Twelve Blood Disciples, the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu already had twelve disciples under his command.

Where did the previous one go?

Of course, he was long dead.

He was killed by Gao Zhen himself.

Since he could kill a senior brother, Chou Ping and Wu Yun could of course kill a junior brother.

"Damn!"

Gao Zhen cursed inwardly, his muscles tightening, but his face remained smiling: "Senior Brother Chou, Senior Brother Wu, Master did indeed give me a wisp of Immortal Qi."

Although he didn't know which damn person leaked the news, these two weren't fools, so it was impossible to hide it.

Chou Ping's mouth curled even wider:

"Tao Shidi just arrived, so you might not understand some rules; we twelve brothers are humble and friendly."

"Sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone; why not take out the Immortal Qi for Senior Brother to have a look."

But inwardly, he was sneering:

"What a thing!"

"A little bastard who just entered the door, if not for Master's charity, he wouldn't even be a Dragon Gate waste, yet he dares to monopolize the supreme treasure!"

Gao Zhen glanced at Wu Yun.

He saw that this Eleventh Senior Brother had already moved behind him without a sound.

Presenting a surrounding and killing posture with Chou Ping, he had murderous intent.

He narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and they popped with a crackle.

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Clearly, these two coming to Qinghe to help was fake; seizing the treasure was real.

After weighing it in his heart, he finally squeezed a smile onto his face: "Since Senior Brother wants to see, how can Tao Shidi hide it." Before the words fell,

He opened his mouth.

A wisp of cyan Qi was exhaled from his mouth.

"Immortal Qi!"

Chou Ping and Wu Yun both widened their eyes, their greed undisguised.

Since they couldn't get Immortal Qi from the Xueying Laozu, they could only think of other ways.

Gao Zhen knew that if he didn't cut off some flesh today, it would be very hard to walk out of here.

He simply took the initiative: "I have no use for this Immortal Qi, why not share some with the two Senior Brothers."

Hearing this.

Chou Ping and Wu Yun's eyes lit up.

=9+Book_Bar

"Sensible!"

Chou Ping's smile grew wider.

Gao Zhen was someone the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu valued; if they really fought, killing Gao Zhen wouldn't be easy to explain to the Xueying Laozu.

It was best if Gao Zhen handed over the Immortal Qi himself.

Originally, he and Wu Yun had already planned how to act; now it seemed the preparations they had made were unnecessary.

Gao Zhen was quite decisive.

Gritting his teeth, he divided the half-thumb-length Immortal Qi into three sections and handed them to Chou Ping and Wu Yun.

Chou Ping looked at the Immortal Qi in his hand, his mood unable to calm down.

Just holding it in his hand made one's mind clear and one's whole body comfortable.

An Immortal spitting a mouthful of saliva is a peerless treasure in the mortal world, let alone the heaven-defying existence of Immortal Qi.

Wu Yun held the Immortal Qi and was also grinning from ear to ear.

But soon he couldn't laugh.

Because Chou Ping was looking at him with unkind eyes.

Wu Yun immediately revealed a fawning smile: "Senior Brother, leave me three-tenths, okay?"

Chou Ping nodded with satisfaction: "Senior Brother is not a greedy person; I only want eight-tenths."

Eight-tenths obtained, another tenth less.

However, Wu Yun didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.

Now there were only the three of them; Chou Ping had the highest martial arts, and if they fought, Gao Zhen definitely wouldn't help, and might even join hands to kill him and seize the treasure, then divide his share of the Immortal Qi.

Such things were definitely something the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu's disciples could do.

Chou Ping monopolized the majority of the Immortal Qi, and the ferocity in his brows vanished.

"Tao Shidi, you also know, Senior Brother is old; if I don't fight for it now, I might really die before you."

"Yes, yes."

Gao Zhen nodded repeatedly on the surface, but inwardly he was sneering.

"Wait until I reverse my bone structure, the first thing I'll do is send you on your way, let you die before me, and let a prostitute play the zither at your grave!"

Having obtained what he wanted, Chou Ping then spoke of another matter for which he had come to Qinghe:

"Little Tao Shidi, your background is clean; leave the killing to Senior Brother."

Things must be taken, and things must be done.

Gao Zhen had a special status and was deeply valued by the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu; if he went to the Xueying Laozu to complain, he had to make a contribution to offset the treasure-seizing matter.

Taking benefits without doing things was just asking for death.

The senior brothers who walked before him had already verified this principle.

When he became one of the Twelve Blood Disciples, he was ranked twelfth.

Why did he slowly become fifth?

Wasn't it because those senior brothers and sisters all died one by one, and most of them died at the hands of the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu, becoming nourishment for the blood worms in the blood pool?

Gao Zhen saw Chou Ping's confident look:

"Senior Brother, do you already have a countermeasure?"

Chou Ping's mouth curled into a cruel arc:

"Rest assured, not one will escape."

"Brother Li, what's wrong?"

Wei Ming looked at Li Rui, who was walking slower and slower.

At first, he was at the very front of the team, but as he walked, he ended up in the middle-back.

And he looked burdened with worries.

"Perhaps it's easy to overthink when you're old?"

He muttered in his heart, but comforted him aloud: "Don't worry, this time with Head Ning and Garrison Commander Feng here, it's just one Wan Wan Du Gui, there won't be any mishaps."

Li Rui nodded absentmindedly.

Wei Ming rolled his eyes.

Li Rui probably hadn't heard a single word of what he just said.

At this moment.

A commotion arose at the front of the team, and soldiers fell to the ground one after another with soft bodies.

Then they heard Ning Zhongtian's shout:

"Poison smoke!"

The reason the Wan Wan Du Gui was called the Wan Wan Du Gui was, of course, because he was skilled in the art of poisoning.

Ning Zhongtian's face turned ugly instantly.

"It's a trap!"

Not only did the Wan Wan Du Gui not hide from them, he even deliberately set up poison smoke here to wait for them.

However, the army of several hundred people did not panic because of this, nor did they appear to collapse and flee.

The soldiers who hadn't been poisoned hurriedly took out antidote pills from their bosoms and gave them to the poisoned soldiers.

Poison also comes in many types.

Poison pills, poison liquid, poison smoke...

Among them, poison smoke is the most hidden, capable of making people fall into the trap silently, but it also has its shortcomings: its toxicity is not as direct and fierce as poison pills or poison liquid.

The soldiers who took the antidote pills immediately improved in complexion.

Ning Zhongtian held his breath and exchanged a look with Feng Yu.

The two fought constantly on ordinary days, but at this moment, they were extremely tacit, drawing their sabers to ferret out the Wan Wan Du Gui hiding in the dark.

But just as they were about to act—

The mountain forest suddenly came alive.

Tiger roars, lion roars, wolf howls...

Ning Zhongtian's pupils shrank sharply, his face changed greatly, and he slowly spat out two words from between his teeth:

"Monster tide!"
