Chapter 153: Assassination

"This is the special effect of the Heavenly Net Divine Palm!!"

The skin on Fang Zhixing's right arm cracked, and the scars crisscrossed like a spider web.

Blood oozed out in large amounts, soon dyeing the entire arm red.

But the damage caused by the Tianluo Divine Palm is more than that.

The muscles and fascia beneath the skin were also cut and torn.

Even the bones showed some cracks.

"I didn't strengthen my defense, but I still suffered so much damage!"

Fang Zhixing sighed softly. Only by experiencing it personally did he realize how powerful and strange the Tianluo Secret Sutra was. It was truly beyond imagination and incredible.

Fang Zhixing felt the sharp pain and raised his head slightly.

At the same time, Luo Tiantai also stepped back a few steps with an extremely painful expression.

Fang Zhixing's palm power was extremely powerful, with incredible force, sweeping across the entire distance. It was clearly a unique explosive skill of the Giant Bear type.

He couldn't help but look down at his right arm, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

In the next moment!

Bang! His right arm exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist, spreading and settling in the secret room.

Luo Tiantai had not strengthened his defense, and his right arm was immediately attacked and severely damaged by the Tiansha Palm.

"A mere dog slave actually took my arm..."

Luo Tiantai was so shocked that he could not say anything, his face was full of disbelief.

He is the son of a prominent family, why can just any random person defeat him?

However, he thought about it carefully and realized that ever since he became the magistrate of Qingguang County, he had been living a life of luxury and debauchery, and had not fought seriously for many years, let alone a bloody fight.

Luo Tiantai was depressed. He widened his eyes, glared at Fang Zhixing, and said coldly, "You destroyed one of my arms, so I'll destroy one of yours."

Fang Zhixing remained calm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he reminded her, "You have a nosebleed."

Luo Tiantai was stunned for a moment, touched his nostril with his left hand, put his hand down and looked around.

At this moment, his pupils shrank sharply and endless fear appeared on his face.

The blood on the fingertips of his left hand was black! "I'm poisoned?!"

Luo Tiantai seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly looked up at Fang Zhixing and asked, "When did you poison me?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "If I knew you had been poisoned, I would just wait outside for you to die."

Luo Tiantai's heart skipped a beat. He thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed miserably and realized, "So that's how it is. From the moment you came before me, I was doomed."

After hearing this, Fang Zhixing's brows twisted into a knot, as if he was thinking about something.

"Why, you still don't understand?"

Luo Tiantai leaned against the wall and slumped on the ground, his face ashen, and said carefully: "I must have been drugged at some point in the past, but the poison never took effect until you came.

Your clothes must be stained with some kind of drug, which is constantly evaporating. When I smell it, it just happens to activate the poison in my body and poison me to death! Hehe, this is one of the tricks the Luo family often uses to execute traitors. "

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing quickly sniffed his body.

“No need to smell it.”

Luo Tiantai laughed bitterly, "The drugs in your body and mine are not poisons when they are separated. Only when they come into contact with each other will they become deadly poisons."

"Wow~"

He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his skin gradually turned black.

Fang Zhixing felt his body carefully and confirmed that he had no signs of poisoning.

"In that case, Luo Keji probably doesn't want to kill me. Otherwise, I will be executed along with Luo Tiantai."

Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Luo Tiantai coldly, and said speechlessly: "It seems that I have done a lot of unnecessary things. At the beginning, I was sure that Luo Keji sent me to kill you, but your cultivation level happened to be the second bird realm, and you are not someone I can wipe out at will."

Luo Tiantai laughed miserably, and said with disgust on his face: "Luo Keji, that little bastard, is not worthy of being a human being. His mind is so damn evil that no one can guess what he is thinking."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "Luo Keji will be here soon. Do you have anything to tell him?"

Luo Tiantai said angrily: "He wants me to die, what else can I say to him? If you have the courage to pass on the message, please scold him for me..."

Before he could finish his words, he spat out another mouthful of black blood, and his energy and spirit quickly weakened.

He glanced at Yunmeng and waved with difficulty, "Come here!"

Yunmeng hid in the corridor, her face full of fear, trembling with fear, not daring to come forward.

Seeing this, Luo Tiantai's smile became even more tragic, and he sighed to Fang Zhixing, "Before I die, let me do one good thing. Let that woman go. She is just my plaything and knows nothing."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, turned around, waved at Yunmeng and said, "He's dying, come over and say goodbye."

Yun Meng hesitated for a moment, walked over with lotus steps, came in front of Luo Tiantai, and slowly squatted down.

Luo Tiantai was barely breathing, and said weakly: "You have served me for several years, I will not treat you unfairly, there is in the box over there..."

Crack~ Suddenly, Yunmeng's neck bent sharply.

She died instantly and fell into Luo Tiantai's arms.

"you???"

Luo Tiantai's eyes suddenly widened in confusion.

Fang Zhixing sighed, "I heard that you abandoned your wife and children and fled when the rebels attacked the city, so I mistakenly thought you were weak, but I didn't expect you to be in the second bird realm, which led to my serious misjudgment."

Luo Tiantai was puzzled and asked, "So what?"

Fang Zhixing sighed, "In Luo Keji's eyes, I am just an animal. So the only reason I can survive now is under one circumstance, that is, you died directly from poisoning, and you and I have never fought."

After hearing this, Luo Keji used up his last bit of strength and roared, "You little dog slave..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Fang Zhixing rolled up his sleeves, swung his knife to cut off his right arm, and then kicked his right arm to Luo Tiantai's right side.

Luo Tiantai looked puzzled, his eyes gradually dimmed and completely lost their luster.

Fang Zhixing looked around and quickly found the kerosene stored in the house.

He picked up kerosene and quickly poured it on the two bodies and various places in the secret room, and finally lit a fire.

Whoosh whoosh~ The fire quickly started.

Fang Zhixing came out of the corridor, and his lost right arm had grown back. Even the bloodstains on his clothes disappeared after being reset.

"Hey, why is there a fire?"

Outside the secret room, a thin dog was guarding the door.

Fang Zhixing replied: "Luo Tiantai and his mistress both burned themselves to death."

"Damn it! This is suicide out of fear of punishment!"

Xigou clicked his tongue twice, quite surprised, and sighed: "This is the best. As long as Luo Tiantai doesn't die in your hands, you won't become a thorn in the eyes of others."

Fang Zhixing walked out of the attic without saying much.

The fire burned for a long time, with thick smoke billowing, and finally spread to the outside of the secret room, and the attic was also set on fire.

Fortunately, this attic is a single-family house and the fire did not spread further.

About two hours later, the entire attic was reduced to ashes.

Afterwards, Fang Zhixing summoned the servants in the villa.

I discovered that there were actually only two servants in the entire Yunmeng Villa.

One is a mute cook, and the other is an old servant in gray who guards the gate.

Fang Zhixing gave them some money and sent them away.

The next day came in a flash.

At noon, Luo Keji, Wen Yudong and others arrived as promised.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the eldest young master."

Fang Zhixing stood in front of the gate, smiling, and greeted them warmly.

Luo Keji stopped outside the gate, stood with his hands behind his back, and asked with a faint smile: "How is it, is everything going well?"

Fang Zhixing thought for a moment and answered carefully, "I followed the instructions of the eldest master and came to Yunmeng Villa. I soon met the owner of this place, Yunmeng, but I soon discovered that she was not actually the owner of the villa."

"Oh, then who is the master?" Luo Keji laughed and walked in.

Fang Zhixing replied, "With Yunmeng's introduction, I met the real master. After seeing me, that man suddenly vomited black blood for some reason. He cursed me as an assassin and wanted to attack me like a madman.

Seeing that he was very powerful and difficult to deal with, I quickly ran away.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

That person did not chase me, but went into an attic with Yunmeng.

Soon after, the attic suddenly caught fire and burned down completely.”

As they were talking, Fang Zhixing led the way and arrived at the ruins of the attic.

Luo Keji raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Are you telling me that the owner of Yunmeng Villa burned himself to death?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "I am not completely puzzled. That person's words and actions are really unreasonable."

Luo Keji laughed and suddenly waved his sleeves, causing the air to vibrate and a gust of wind to blow.

The ashes on the ground were swept away in an instant.

A dark cave entrance then came into everyone's sight.

Fang Zhixing exclaimed in astonishment: "Why is there a hole?"

Luo Keji didn't say anything, but just gave Wen Yulin a look.

Wen Yulin understood what he meant and quickly entered the secret room.

After a moment, he turned back with a purple-gold token in his hand and presented it to Luo Keji with both hands.

Luo Keji took it and took a look, then asked in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Luo Tiantai's identity token?"

Fang Zhixing blinked and said in shock, "Are you talking about Luo Tiantai, the magistrate of Qingguang County?"

Luo Keji nodded and sighed, "Since the fall of Qingguang County, Luo Tiantai has disappeared. I didn't expect that he has been hiding here."

Wen Yulin took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Young Master, judging from the situation at the scene, after being exposed, Luo Tiantai was obviously afraid of being held accountable by the family, so he chose to commit suicide out of fear of being punished."

Luo Keji nodded and said with a smile: "Fang Zhixing, you accidentally discovered Luo Tiantai's whereabouts. This is a great contribution!"

Fang Zhixing was shocked, but also a little secretly happy. He said with a smile: "Thanks to the great blessing of the eldest master, I am just lucky."

Luo Keji laughed and said, "I will report this matter to the county governor as soon as possible and strive for a credit for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, young master!"

Fang Zhixing was respectful and smiling.

Luo Keji pondered and said, "You should collect Luo Tiantai's body and bring it back to the county town as soon as possible. Well, since this villa belongs to Luo Tiantai, it is also the property of my Luo family. Report it to the county governor and let him deal with it personally."

"yes!"

Everyone took orders and took quick action.

"Fang Zhixing, please accompany me for a walk." Luo Keji turned around and walked towards the garden not far away.

Only then will you know that action must follow suit.

Luo Keji asked: "Did Luo Tiantai say anything before he died?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "After he vomited black blood, he kept asking me who had instructed me to come here. I saw that he was very crazy and thought he had some kind of acute illness, so I didn't tell him anything."

Luo Keji laughed and said, "What a pity, you should have told him."

What he meant was that he really wanted Luo Tiantai to know at whose hands he died.

It's really bad fun...

Fang Zhixing replied, "I am stupid, if I had known that he was Luo Tiantai, I would have told him."

Luo Keji bent down, picked a small white flower, rubbed it gently and crushed it, and said indifferently: "Forget it, the person is already dead, such a small matter doesn't matter."

Soon, the group left Yunmeng Villa.

They boarded a warship and sailed south along the river. After less than twenty miles, they arrived at the county town.

Fang Zhixing stood at the bow and looked around.

The county town is divided into two major areas, the inner city and the outer city.

The inner city is square, protected by high walls and surrounded by moats. Its area only accounts for a quarter of the entire county city.

The outer city is an open area with a very large area, but it is not protected by city walls. It is precisely divided into four large sections by four horse-racing avenues leading to the gates of the inner city.

The east-west directions developed into commercial streets, called "East Market" and "West Market".

The word "东西" (things) that people often use to refer to buying things actually originates from this.

Fang Zhixing and his group came from the north. After landing, they rode their horses into the horse racing avenue in the north and headed straight for the inner city.

North Street is relatively empty, with not many pedestrians.

They rode at full speed and soon arrived at the city gate, after which they were allowed to pass very smoothly.

Thus, the group entered the inner city area calmly.

The outer city is in such a bad state, with a mix of good and bad people, dirty streets, and low, old and dilapidated buildings.

But the inner city is different. Everything seems in order, the streets are wide and clean, and there are many buildings and mansions, exuding a prosperous atmosphere everywhere.

Fang Zhixing looked around and found that the people in the inner city lived very decently. They were all dressed in silk and satin, and wore gold and jade. They were obviously rich or noble.

He couldn't help but look back, he felt that the people in the outer city didn't live like human beings at all. They were like rats and cockroaches in the sewers, as if they were living in another world.

Although there is only a city wall between the inner city and the outer city.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at the door of a mansion.

Two majestic lions sit in front of the door, and above the door hangs a plaque with three large gold-painted characters "Yixiangzhai" inscribed on it.

Wen Yulin took the initiative to introduce: "This is just the eldest young master's temporary residence. After the eldest young master is officially promoted to the commander-in-chief of the navy, we will move to the navy camp."

Only then will you know and understand.

Everyone filed in and entered the mansion.

Fang Zhixing took a stroll and soon found that this mansion was unremarkable. Not only was it small in size, but it was also far less magnificent than Yunmeng Villa.

Under Wen Yulin's arrangement, Fang Zhixing moved into a villa and became neighbors with nine other young men.

Before long it was evening.

Luo Keji summoned Fang Zhixing again.

"Fang Zhixing, I just went to the county governor's mansion and reported the news of Luo Tiantai's death to the county governor."

Luo Keji took out a black brocade box and handed it over. "The county governor is very satisfied with your performance. He recognized your contribution and specially rewarded you with a 'Limit Breaking Pill'."
