Chapter 23

The giant tiger pounced into mid-air, its huge tiger eyes staring fixedly at the crowd in front, its sharp fangs flashing with cold light under the candlelight.

Facing this soul-stirring scene, the four Jin Wuwei, including Lu Lingfeng, were all a little panicked and couldn't help but retreat to the surroundings.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the giant tiger landed on the ground, turned its head to look at the two people forced to the window.

These two were one of the Jin Wuwei who came with Lu Lingfeng, and the other was the black-clothed old man who didn't know why he was here.

Seeing them being stared at by the tiger, everyone including Su Wuming above squeezed a cold sweat for them.

Suddenly, Su Wuming's eyes condensed, as if he had discovered something, staring fixedly at the floor under the tiger's feet.

Strange...

Looking at the size of this tiger, it must be at least a thousand pounds heavy.

A behemoth of this weight pounced with force, but it didn't step through the floor?

Just when Su Wuming was suspicious, the old man who was stared at finally couldn't bear the pressure, screamed in horror, and jumped out of the window.

Seeing this scene, the Jin Wuwei who was forced into the corner gritted his teeth and learned from the old man, turning around and running toward the window.

"Don't jump!!"

Just at this critical moment, an anxious voice came from outside the door.

Everyone was stunned, turned their heads to look, and saw a figure in a green shirt running from outside the door, holding a piece of refined iron in his hand, panting and tearing off the face towel, shouting:

"Don't jump, there is a trap outside the window!"

What?!

Everyone was shocked, especially the Jin Wuwei who had already run to the window, who stopped his figure abruptly.

"Phew~ finally caught up, it was worth my painstaking efforts!"

Seeing Su Wuming hanging up like the original work, the scholar in the green shirt breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

At the same time, Su Wuming, who had long recognized his cousin's voice, finally confirmed his identity and couldn't help but say: "Su Haoming?!"

"Why are you here?!"

He glanced at his cousin at the door, then at the giant tiger below, and said angrily: "Why don't you run?!"

Su Haoming held the gun in his hand and said strangely: "Run for what?"

Su Wuming glared at him and said: "Can't you see there is a tiger here?!"

Su Haoming shook his head and said: "Cousin, I know you are worried about my safety, but don't use this clumsy excuse. With your wisdom, can't you see the true face of this thing?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone including Lu Lingfeng was stunned.

Only Su Wuming was not surprised, but showed an expression of 'as expected', then sighed and said: "Silly child, since you found the trap outside the window, how do you know there are no other dangers here?"

"What other dangers?"

Looking at the tiger pacing in front, Lu Lingfeng gripped the Tang Dao in his hand and couldn't help saying: "Su Wuming, what are you talking about?!"

Hearing Lu Lingfeng's words, Su Haoming glanced at him, picked up a wooden board from the side, and threw it forward with all his might.

"Whoosh~"

Accompanied by the not-so-intense sound of breaking through the air, the wooden board flew toward the tiger while spinning.

Seeing this scene, Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, unable to understand why Su Haoming looked at him, not understanding why he wanted to use this method to attract the tiger's attention.

In his opinion, this level of attack would definitely not hurt this giant tiger, but would instead arouse its anger, causing it to turn and attack Su Haoming.

The facts were indeed so. Facing the flying wooden board, the tiger let out a roar and waved its tiger claws without hesitation.

But what Lu Lingfeng never expected was that the scene of the wooden board shattering in the expectation did not appear. At the moment the two touched, the wooden board actually crashed into the tiger's claws and continued to fly forward without losing its momentum.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, smoke filled the air.

Lu Lingfeng and others were caught off guard and had their faces covered with dust, hurriedly raising their hands to fan it.

When the dust settled, the giant tiger with a body length of more than four meters had long since disappeared, and only a tiger skin sewn with red rope remained, lying quietly on the ground covered with white dust.

"... What is going on?"

Lu Lingfeng stared blankly at the tiger skin on the ground.

"Just like what you see in front of you." Su Haoming stepped forward and said lightly, "The tiger didn't exist at all. This is just a fake made by stitching together several tiger skins, combined with the silk threads sewn on the tiger skin, and the dust with hallucinogenic effects, which made you have hallucinations."

The Jin Wuwei next to him couldn't help saying: "Just like a marionette?"

Su Haoming bent down and said: "That's right."

As he spoke, he picked up the wooden board from the ground and showed the silk threads entangled on the wooden board to Lu Lingfeng.

Lu Lingfeng took the wooden board, looked at the silk threads wrapped around it, and the tiger skin sewn under his feet, his face changed from green to white.

Obviously, this General of the Golden Guard, who was born in a famous family and was naturally proud, was feeling ashamed for his performance just now.

Not only him, but the faces of the other three Jin Wuwei were not very good either.

Su Haoming glanced at the master and servant who were still hanging above, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you still hanging my cousin and Uncle Qian? Put them down quickly!"

The three Jin Wuwei came back to their senses, looked at each other, and looked at Lu Lingfeng.

Lu Lingfeng was silent for a moment, threw away the wooden board in his hand, and said softly: "Put them down."

The three Jin Wuwei then moved to put Su Wuming and Su Qian down.

Su Haoming hurriedly stepped forward to help the elderly Su Qian up.

"Finally down!"

Su Wuming breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to tear off the rope on his body.

Just as he stood up, Lu Lingfeng came to him at some point, staring at him silently and saying:

"Su Wuming, how did you find out?"

"Look at the floor!"

Su Wuming pointed to the floor and said angrily: "This tiger is so huge, if it were real, the floor would have been crushed by it long ago!"

As soon as this statement came out, Lu Lingfeng hadn't said anything yet, but the other three Jin Wuwei exclaimed first.

"Yeah, such a simple truth, why didn't we find it!"

By the time you find it, the day lily will be cold!

Su Haoming couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

Lu Lingfeng turned his head and stared at him: "You saw it too?"

Su Haoming shook his head and said: "No, I didn't get hit at all. In my eyes, it was tiger skin from the beginning."

As he spoke, he raised his left hand, which was holding the face towel he had just torn off his face.

So it was rushing in with a covered face...

Su Wuming frowned and scolded: "Su Haoming, you are too reckless—"

Before he could finish, Lu Lingfeng's face changed drastically, and he reached out to pull Su Wuming.

At the same time, more than a dozen arrows broke through the air from outside the door, just covering the position where Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming were.

"Sure enough, there is a backhand!"

Lu Lingfeng sneered, stepped forward with his sword, and the standard Tang Dao danced like a swimming dragon in his hand, and he knocked down all the incoming arrows in the blink of an eye.

"Ding ding dang dang!"

Hearing the sound from behind, Su Wuming was shocked and hurriedly hid behind the pillar.

And at this time, Su Haoming seemed to know in advance, and brought Su Qian to hide behind the cover early. Seeing his cousin squeeze over, he still had the leisure to blink, as if saying 'Who is more reckless now?'

... This little heartless thing!

Knowing there is danger, why don't you take your cousin to run away together?

Su Wuming couldn't help glaring at Su Haoming.

Su Haoming laughed in a low voice: "With General Lu here, cousin's safety is definitely not a problem!"

That's what I said, but you should at least show something!

Su Wuming sighed, and suddenly glanced at the refined iron in Su Haoming's hand, frowning:

"I've been wanting to ask since just now, what are you holding in your hand?"

Su Haoming thought for a while, raised his pistol, and said seriously: "Truth!"

Truth?

Su Wuming looked surprised.

"The immortal has ascended!"

Just at this time, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from outside the door.

Lu Lingfeng frowned and walked quickly to the door.

The other three Jin Wuwei looked at each other, holding Tang Dao, and followed Su Wuming and the three of them.

Coming outside the door, I saw those Ghost Market people who didn't have time to run away kneeling on the ground, looking at the sky in horror.

"The immortal has ascended!"

"The immortal has ascended!"

Su Wuming and others hurriedly looked up, only to see a blurred figure in the high sky more than ten meters above their heads, holding a white banner, slowly floating upward.

Seeing Su Wuming and others walking out of the mansion, this person even looked over, and an inexplicable weird laugh came from his mouth.

"That is Yin Vice Minister's white banner!"

Lu Lingfeng's face was livid: "Damn it, let him run!"

"Bang!"

Before the words fell, a deafening loud noise suddenly came from his ear.

Yin Vice Minister, who was still laughing arrogantly just now, let out a miserable scream, and his body fell obliquely downward like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing this scene, the sound of 'immortal' stopped abruptly, and Su Wuming and others were also startled by the sudden loud noise, looking at Su Haoming beside him with shock.

I saw Su Haoming raise the muzzle, blow gently, and disdain:

"Still want to run after pretending to be forced?"

"Is the truth in my hand a vegetarian?!"
