The flying sword was as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent in the night.

Moreover, although it was extremely fast, it was enveloped in a hazy aura.

This hazy atmosphere makes it ignored, and many times, it is right in front of people but is not noticed.

The flying sword is as fast as the wind, as quick as thunder, and as hidden as the dark night, and its trajectory is as cunning as a poisonous snake.

It approached Gu Zhi silently, with a clear goal: to penetrate from the back of Gu Zhi's head, from bottom to top, and out from between Gu Zhi's eyebrows, piercing through Gu Zhi's entire head, and directly destroying Gu Zhi's physical body and the vitality of his soul.

This is a quick, accurate and ruthless method that can only be used by monks who specialize in assassination.

Precision is the difference between surgery and slaughter. In this kind of assassination, even the slightest mistake can lead to a huge difference. It requires countless times of practice to be so precise and without any deviation.

The person who secretly controlled the flying sword and launched an assassination attack on Gu Zhi was Gu Chen's Deadpool.

When Gu Chen was captured by Gu Zhi, he wanted to assassinate Gu Zhi, but Gu Zhi was very alert at the time, and Ye Qinghan was also on guard nearby.

Although he was in the fusion stage, he knew the methods of Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan. He was no match for Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan, so he had been waiting for an opportunity.

At this moment, Xuan Yi was controlling the killing formation. Gu Zhi felt that Xu Chengyang and the others were trapped. They were at their most proud and least vigilant moment.

Ye Qinghan was no longer on guard and looked a little dazed.

Plus another special reason, Deadpool felt that this was the best opportunity and an opportunity he had to take action.

So Deadpool urged his flying sword to pierce Gu Zhi's head and complete a precise attack in the dark!

If successful, it will be the highlight of his life.

Deadpool was very focused. Even though the flying sword was less than ten feet away from Gu Zhi and neither Gu Zhi nor Ye Qinghan noticed it, he still didn't feel proud.

Ninety percent of a journey begins with a single step. How many people fail at the last moment before success?

Deadpool did not celebrate in advance. The more time came, the more he knew he had to hold his breath.

Finally, the flying sword was less than two meters away from Gu Zhi.

This is the maximum distance for concealment.

Deadpool didn't hesitate at all and released his full strength.

The flying sword made a humming sound and emitted a deep cold light in the darkness.

The murderous intent contained in it erupted completely. At this moment, it was faster than lightning, like light and shadow, stabbing towards the back of Gu Zhi's head.

However, the next moment, its brilliance faded.

With a "crack", the flying sword was broken.

The ghost of Xu Guanchao, which was refined by Gu Zhi, suddenly appeared beside Gu Zhi, grabbed the flying sword that suddenly attacked, and broke the high-quality flying sword casually like plucking a flower.

"puff--"

His natal flying sword was broken, and Deadpool, who was hiding in the dark, was attacked and vomited blood.

He knew that he was finished and would die at Gu Zhi's hands today.

Sure enough, the next moment, he felt a breath locking onto him.

Gu Zhi turned around and his eyes fell on Deadpool wearing a bronze mask.

"Heroes are everywhere in the world, but you just lack a bit of luck."

Gu Zhi's words came from the heart. If he hadn't searched Gu Chen's soul and knew of Deadpool's existence, he would have seemed complacent and let down his guard, but in fact he was secretly more vigilant, which is how he blocked Deadpool's assassination.

If Gu Chen had not been searched by him and the existence of Deadpool had not been exposed in advance, even if Gu Zhi had not been assassinated this time, he would have been robbed and injured.

After all, this Deadpool has entered the fusion period and specializes in assassination. He is a real killer hiding in the dark and has very strong assassination ability.

Gu Zhi admired him very much, but in this world, the winners are kings and the losers are villains. Deadpool failed in the assassination, so he could not be considered a hero.

But if we don’t judge by the results, Gu Zhi really likes Deadpool.

It's not just because of his superb assassination skills, but also because of the person he is.

Although Deadpool still wore a bronze mask, Gu Zhi knew his true identity from Gu Chen's memory.

Xu Bujie.

Xu Chengyang's eldest son.

Xu Chengyang gave him this name in the hope that he would live a healthy life without suffering any misfortune.

Unfortunately, Xu Bujie has been plagued by disasters since he was born.

On the day of his birth, his mother, who was already seriously injured, died of complications during childbirth.

He also had insufficient innate foundation and was determined to have little success in this life.

He put in ten times more effort than the average person and finally achieved some success in his spiritual practice.

But when the Gu family's ancestral land suffered a disaster, he was seriously injured, his foundation was further damaged, and he almost became a disabled person.

After the Gu family moved north, all kinds of resources were in short supply. Xu Chengyang even gave up Xu Bujie and invested all his limited resources in his youngest son after remarrying.

Xu Bujie lacked resources and had a difficult foundation. The situation deteriorated day by day, and he became disheartened. He became a playboy who lived a life of debauchery and visited brothels every day.

Xu Chengyang felt that he was not ambitious and often scolded him for being self-degrading, which made him even more desperate.

Until Gu Chen grew up and felt that Xu Bujie could be used, so he invested in Xu Bujie and pulled Xu Bujie out of the quagmire.

In fact, Gu Chen was just trying it out at the beginning and did not give Xu Bujie many resources, but Xu Bujie was determined enough to repair his foundation with that little bit of resources.

Xu Bujie was grateful to Gu Chen. Even though he knew that Gu Chen was using him as a tool to do dirty work, he had no complaints and was willing to die for Gu Chen.

It is the same now. Since Gu Chen has already been defeated by Gu Zhi, he doesn't have to do anything. The Gu family is seriously injured anyway. If he shows his true strength, he can definitely step out of the shadows and onto the bright and glorious stage, and be valued by Gu Kuange.
