Eight hundred meters southwest of Yuheng Shopping Plaza, in an abandoned logistics warehouse.
Gu Jinzhi chopped vertically with the knife!
As the sword intent burst out, it was like a bright sun hanging in the sky, and the hot breath made the surrounding air distort.
The "Jinghong" knife carried unparalleled momentum and instantly cut off a thick steel beam in front of it.
At the incision, the metal melts into orange-red molten iron, flowing like magma.
Unfortunately, the knife missed...
Gu Jinzhi's heart sank, and without thinking too much, he suddenly turned his wrist. The blade, which had turned a fiery orange due to the high temperature, swung back like lightning, drawing a sharp semicircle on the right side of his body.
Clang——!
A sharp sound of metal clashing echoed in the empty warehouse, piercing the eardrums.
Gu Jinzhi only felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, and a huge force came along the blade.
His chest felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, his throat felt sweet, and he flew backwards like a cannonball, almost unable to hold on to the long sword.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His back hit a tall row of shelves hard.
The iron frame, which had been empty for a long time, could not withstand the huge force and collapsed one after another like dominoes, making a deafening roar.
Gu Jinzhi struggled, using his left hand, which was stained with sticky blood, to support himself and barely raise his upper body.
puff--!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the blood color on his face disappeared, turning pale.
At this moment, his entire body was covered with cuts of varying sizes. The wounds were not deep, but they were densely packed, leaving no vital spots, as if his opponent had deliberately teased him.
The dark grey intern uniform of the Investigation Bureau had long since turned into strips of cloth, hanging in disarray and soaked in blood.
"Pooh!"
Gu Jinzhi spat out the remaining blood foam in his mouth, and stared at the figure ten meters away with his dark eyes.
She was a middle-aged female warrior, her weapons were ferocious claw gloves wrapped around her hands.
She just stood there loosely, with a casual posture, as if there were flaws everywhere, but the aura she exuded was as deep as a mountain, making people feel breathless.
The strangest thing is that this person's expression is extremely dull and wooden.
The facial features seemed to have been welded to the face by a craftsman. They were just decorations and did not move at all.
"Who are you?" Gu Jinzhi asked again thoughtfully.
I thought that it would be the same as the previous times, with only silent response.
Unexpectedly, this time, she actually spoke.
No, not opening your mouth.
Because, when the answer sounded, the woman's mouth was still tightly closed!
Moreover, she was obviously a woman, but the voice that echoed in the warehouse was a mellow, gentle male voice with a hint of teasing and madness.
"who I am?"
“Hahahahahaha~”
She, or rather, he, let out a low, resonant laugh.
The entire warehouse, all the metal shelves, and even the air began to vibrate and hum.
Gu Jinzhi gritted his teeth and tried to cover his ears with his hands.
He tried, but it was pointless.
The sound was like an all-pervasive devilish voice, exploding directly in his mind.
Soon, blood began to flow from his nose, his consciousness became dim, and the back of his head felt as if it had been pierced by a red-hot steel spike.
After dozens of seconds, the laughter seemed to have finally died down and gradually quieted down.
The weirdo's eyes were clearly staring blankly at the empty space, but Gu Jinzhi could feel a strong sense of being "watched".
"Why, you want to delay time?"
His voice returned to its gentle tone, like that of a learned scholar giving a lecture. "Don't worry, no one will come to rescue you anytime soon."
Hearing the word "again" in his words, Gu Jinzhi's gaze moved uncontrollably to the warehouse door.
There, a dead body was lying.
She was a beautiful female warrior who looked to be in her twenties.
At this moment, she was lying on her back with her eyes wide open, her face showing extreme fear and disbelief.
Gu Jinzhi recognized her, or rather, had seen her before.
A master who joined the Yun family many years ago, relied on the Yun family's resources to advance all the way to the sixth level.
He is one of Yun Xi's most trusted subordinates.
Shortly after this weirdo attacked and continued to abuse Gu Jinzhi, the sixth-level master arrived.
She seemed very angry at the time.
But strangely, she did not save Gu Jinzhi immediately, but looked at the weirdo with a questioning expression.
Then, the moment she looked into the eyes of the strange man, she died.
He didn't even have time to scream.
A genuine sixth-level expert was killed by a fifth-level one with just one look.
Recalling that scene, Gu Jinzhi still felt his scalp tingling.
However, as the pain and drowsiness in his head gradually eased, his thinking ability recovered a little.
He used his long sword as support, exerted all his strength, and stood up again with difficulty.
He stared at the strange man and asked in a deep voice, "Are you also Yunxi's man?"
Recalling the dead woman's expression, it was filled with anger, questioning, and fierceness, but there was no intent to kill.
That's the look a superior has on a subordinate who disobeys orders.
Gu Jinzhi was very sure of this.
"Clever, but that was in the past."
The weirdo spoke with a smile, and his voice once again went straight into Gu Jinzhi's mind.
And his mouth still didn't open.
Blood continued to flow out from the wounds all over Gu Jinzhi's body, soaking the small area of ground under his feet.
But he seemed to be unaware of it, and he changed from holding the long sword in his hand to taking a step forward.
