Chapter 215: Horror

"To be exact, as long as I regain my human form, all the blood I absorbed will dissipate."

"Blood Refining Heavenly Net is just temporarily refining other people's blood and integrating it into one's own body to increase one's strength."

"In short, this blood never belonged to me, and it will not belong to me in the end."

Fang Zhixing explained it in detail.

Upon hearing this, Xigou was shocked and amazed. He said, "Even so, it's still awesome. The more people you kill, the stronger you will be. You can even fight against opponents of higher levels!"

"Well, the more I fight, the stronger I become. The more I kill, the more brutal I become!"

Fang Zhixing agreed with this and said thoughtfully, "If there is only one strong enemy attacking, I will have a headache instead."

Xigou thought for a moment and asked, "If you don't return to your human form and remain in the demon form, can you maintain it for a long time?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "Becoming a demon is actually a high-load state for the body. You can't just keep running wildly for the sake of experiencing speed, right?"

The little dog suddenly understood.

As he spoke, Fang Zhixing's body shrank rapidly and returned to its normal size.

The bloody tentacles then retracted into the body.

Crash~ A huge amount of blood gushed out from the bloody tentacles. As expected, not a single bit of blood was retained.

certainly!

Fang Zhixing realized that there was no waste and his mind moved.

"receive!"

Suddenly, the blood disappeared out of thin air.

[1. Defeat or kill 10 lives of the same level (completed)]

"Haha, it's done already? It was so easy."

Fang Zhixing smiled lightly.

Afterwards, the man and the dog quickly cleaned up the battlefield, sank the big ship, then returned to the small boat and rowed downstream.

The thin dog looked around and asked, "Are there any more pursuers?"

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then responded, "Gu Jingzhang is the main force chasing us. After we defeat him, there shouldn't be any more masters chasing us in the short term."

Xigou thought about it and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How does Gu Jingzhang rank in terms of combat power in the Shen family?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "According to the power structure of the clans, they are divided into two levels: clans and sects. The strongest fighting force of the sects is their leaders. For example, the Feiying Sect and Liushui Sect have the strength of the early or middle stage of the first level of demon transformation.

People like Gu Jingzhang are the hired thugs of the clan. Their strength is also in the middle stage of the first level of demon transformation, but they are much stronger than the clan leader. "

Xi Gou pondered, "If you calculate it this way, your strength is already stronger than those sect masters and their hired thugs. The only ones who can threaten you should be the Nine Ox Realm people in the aristocratic families."

Fang Zhixing said, "Yes, but it is limited to the Nine Ox Realm in the eight major clans. If the county magistrate also gets involved, he only needs to send out Xin Zhanhong, the hunchback ghost knife, to make me run for my life."

Xigou nodded repeatedly, having a general idea in his mind.

No matter what, no one knows that Gu Jingzhang has been killed yet.

The Shen family thought that Gu Jingzhang was still chasing Fang Zhixing, so they would not send any other experts.

As for other forces, they may just be watching and waiting for news from the Shen family.

"Hehe, by the time the Shen family reacts, we will have already run away."

The little dog felt at ease immediately. He lay on the bow of the boat, stuck out his tongue, and enjoyed the wind comfortably.

…

…

Navy camp!

Night was just falling and the sky was getting dark.

A carrier pigeon fluttered into the navy camp.

The messenger took the paper roll off the pigeon's leg, immediately came to Luo Keji and reported:

"General, the Cao Gang sent an urgent message saying that Fang Maofu just appeared at Furong Ferry and left after having a meal."

After hearing this, Luo Keji frowned slightly and tilted his head to glance at the map hanging on the wall.

The Cao Gang controls the eighteen waterways, and any disturbance cannot escape their eyes.

Since Fang Zhixing was escaping by water, he was naturally watched by the Cao Gang members at all times.

"Strange, how come the Shen family hasn't been able to kill him yet?"

Luo Keji murmured, puzzled: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case that Gu Jingzhang personally took action!"

That being said…

He was just paying attention to this matter casually.

To him, Fang Zhixing had long been a discarded pawn, insignificant and not worth a second thought.

If Dong Minzhu hadn't specifically reminded him before, he would have forgotten about Fang Zhixing long ago.

"Forget it. The Shen family will get rid of Fang Zhixing sooner or later."

Luo Keji withdrew his gaze and ignored him.

The night passed quickly.

On the morning of the next day, the Cao Gang's spy sent another pigeon message.

"Fang Maofu arrived at Qingshi Ferry to eat breakfast, and was suddenly attacked by six gangsters. He killed the six and ate again. After he was full, he left."

Luo Keji narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed, "Good fellow, he is quite leisurely."

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

"Fang Maofu forced his way through the Nine Bays, and no one could defeat the three hundred guards."

Luo Keji was stunned for a moment, looked at the map on the wall again, and tapped his fingers slowly on the table.

"The next stop is Reed Ferry..."

An expression of interest appeared on Luo Keji's face.

At this time, he had already deduced Fang Zhixing's escape route.

"We'll take the water route first, reach Luwei Ferry, and then enter Qingfeng County..."

Luo Keji realized that Fang Zhixing should soon leave the river and enter Qingfeng County, which is closest to the county seat, by land.

Once Fang Zhixing escapes into Qingfeng County, it will be difficult to find and kill him.

Because Qingfeng County had been conquered by the traitor Tan Lang years ago, the local forces were completely destroyed and reconstruction has not yet been completed.

At this time, the imperial court had little power in Qingfeng County, which was like a barren land.

As long as Fang Zhixing crossed Qingfeng County, he could escape from Qinghe County.

"What on earth are those useless people from the Shen family doing?" Luo Keji was a little puzzled.

…

…

At the same moment! Aunt Leng came to Dong Minzhu and handed her a handkerchief.

At this moment, Dong Minzhu had just finished practicing and was sweating all over. She took the handkerchief and wiped her cheeks.

Aunt Leng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Madam, something is wrong."

Dong Minzhu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Aunt Leng replied: "Fang Maofu's whereabouts have been exposed for almost two days, but until now, the Shen family has not released the news that he was killed.

In addition, I just inquired and found out something strange. The Shen family is using all information channels to try their best to find Gu Jingzhang's whereabouts."

Dong Minzhu blinked and asked in surprise: "What do you mean, Gu Jingzhang is missing?"

Aunt Leng nodded and replied, "To be exact, the Shen family and Gu Jingzhang suddenly lost contact. No one knows where Gu Jingzhang is now. He is not found alive or dead."

Dong Minzhu frowned deeply and asked in surprise, "Gu Jingzhang is going to hunt down Fang Maofu, right? He is outside, chasing everywhere, and it is not normal that we can't contact him."

Aunt Leng quickly responded, "The problem is that Fang Maofu's whereabouts are certain. He went south along the waterway and was about to reach Luwei Ferry. He encountered snipers from various underworld people many times on the way, but there was no sign of Gu Jingzhang. Logically speaking, Gu Jingzhang should have caught up with Fang Maofu long ago."

Dong Minzhu paused for a moment and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Gu Jingzhang, something is very likely to happen! "Aunt Leng, what do you think about this?" Dong Minzhu couldn't help asking.

Aunt Leng responded, "My guess is that Gu Jingzhang had already caught up with Fang Maofu, but not only did he fail to capture Fang Maofu, he died a violent death instead."

Dong Minzhu obviously thought of this possibility, and said in shock: "Fang Maofu should not be that strong, but Gu Jingzhang is a genuine ninth bull realm, right?"

"Um!"

Aunt Leng said decisively: "So, there must be another force that took action. They killed Gu Jingzhang and protected Fang Maofu."

Dong Minzhu couldn't help but stand up and asked in shock: "Could it be the Peng family?"

“No!”

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

Aunt Leng shook her head and said, "The Peng family did want Fang Maofu alive to testify that he and Feng Jiayao had slept together, but Fang Maofu still went south and did not fall into the hands of the Peng family."

"Hey, who could that be?"

Dong Minzhu frowned, unable to make sense of the situation for a moment.

Just as she was thinking about it, a maid came running over and reported, "Madam, Miss Wu wants to see you."

Dong Minzhu was delighted and said, "Please come in quickly."

Not long after, Wu Hongqiu, dressed in a white dress, walked slowly into the room with lotus steps.

The two best friends sat down and chatted.

Dong Minzhu asked with a smile: "Why did you come to see me suddenly?"

Wu Hongqiu was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alas, Fang Maofu's matter has become a little troublesome."

Dong Minzhu was not surprised at all and nodded, "I heard some gossip, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or not. So, do you know what's going on with Gu Jingzhang?"

Wu Hongqiu said: "All signs indicate that Gu Jingzhang has been killed."

Dong Minzhu took a deep breath and was shocked.

Although Gu Jingzhang was not from a prominent family, he was Shen Yutang's adopted son and his most trusted confidant.

Gu Jingzhang’s murder will be a storm for the entire Shen family.

Wu Hongqiu sighed, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Logically, Fang Maofu couldn't have killed Gu Jingzhang, but there's no sign that Fang Maofu is protected by experts."

Dong Minzhu couldn't help but ask, "What is the Shen family doing? They won't be helpless against Fang Maofu, right?"

"Of course not."

Wu Hongqiu said carefully: "The Shen family is not slow in their actions. They have already sent experts to the Reed Ferry. At the same time, the Feng family has also dispatched people from the Black Tiger Gate to set up a dragnet at the Reed Ferry!"

"What, the Feng family is also involved?" Dong Minzhu exclaimed.

Wu Hongqiu smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do. The Feng family is afraid that the secrets about Fang Maofu and Feng Jiayao will be leaked, so they really want to silence them. Even I can't persuade them."

Dong Minzhu shook her head and said, "Humph, this is a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt. The Feng family is so anxious that it only makes people suspicious."

Wu Hongqiu was helpless and sighed: "Right now, the Feng family is acting in the name of assisting the Shen family. As long as Fang Maofu is executed, everything will be calm."

…

…

Splash~ Splash~ The sunset is so beautiful, the evening glow shines on the river, a golden and dazzling piece.

The small boat paddled with its oars, riding the wind, and moving quickly on the river.

The little dog was bored and lay on the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze.

Suddenly, he raised his head, staring at the distance with his dog eyes, and reminded: "Fang Zhixing, there is a small boat over there, it is moving very fast, and it is coming towards us."

Fang Zhixing looked up, stopped rowing, stood up, and immediately prepared for battle.

Not long after, the boat really rushed straight over, and when it was about a hundred meters away, it suddenly slowed down and slowly approached.

A figure appeared on the bow of the boat, holding a paper fan in his hand and fanning it gracefully.

Fang Zhixing took a closer look and said in surprise, "Mr. Peng, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The man standing at the bow was Peng Haolin. He smiled and said, "Haha, Master Fang, you should look at me with new eyes after three days of absence."

After a brief greeting, he asked directly: "Is Gu Jingzhang dead?"

Fang Zhixing was surprised and asked, "Is he dead? I have been running for my life and have not seen him for a long time."

Peng Haolin smiled and said, "You said you didn't know. I believe you. Please believe me for once."

He raised his hand and pointed forward, "I know you are going to Reed Ferry, but that place has been ambushed by the Black Tiger Sect from all sides."

He pointed to the back and said seriously: "The masters sent by the Shen family are chasing you, attacking you from both sides. There is absolutely no chance of escape for you. You will definitely die, unless..."

He put away the paper fan, stretched out his hand, and said sincerely: "As long as you come with me, I will protect you from death. Right now, I am the only one in the world who is willing to save you and has the ability to save you!"

Fang Zhixing laughed in his heart and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Peng, but I am destined to be a desperate man. No matter who I fall into, I will die anyway!"

"Well said!"

Peng Haolin was delighted and said seriously, "You are a smart person and you know the situation clearly, so I won't waste my words with you.

You ended up like this because of the Wu family, the Dong family, and the Feng family.

Since you are going to die anyway, why don't you take a few more people with you? My Peng family can help you get revenge, let you live a happy life before you die, and even meet all your requests. How about that?"

Fang Zhixing chuckled twice and shook his head, saying, "Your offer sounds great, but I haven't lived long enough, so I want to give it a try."

Peng Haolin's face darkened gradually, and he said in disappointment, "I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. There is only one way to go before you, and that is death!"

Fang Zhixing replied calmly: "Everyone has his own destiny."

Peng Haolin shook his head speechlessly and waved his hand. His boat immediately turned the bow and rowed away.

Seeing this, Xigou was surprised and asked, "Is Peng Haolin a very gentle person? Why didn't he use force against you?"

Fang Zhixing snorted and sneered, "It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't! He didn't come alone, there is another expert on his ship who hasn't shown up yet.

But as long as he uses force to take me down, the commotion it creates will definitely attract attention from all sides. By then, even if he can capture me alive, he won’t be able to take me away safely.”

The little dog suddenly understood.

The current situation is that there are wolves in front and tigers behind. Peng Haolin has no choice but to act quietly.

The thin dog asked, "So, are we still going to the Reed Ferry? Do we want to try another escape route?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "No, Luwei Ferry is the best choice. Taking other routes will only make things worse."

Xigou understood and nodded, saying, "Then let's give it a try."

One man and one dog rowed the boat away.

Gradually, the Reed Ferry arrived.

Looking around, the reeds by the river are tall, green and vibrant, swaying gently in the breeze as if they are dancing a light dance.

The entire Reed Ferry was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind.

But when the little dog listened carefully, he suddenly heard many heartbeats and breathing sounds.

"Tsk, tsk, there are so many people..."

The thin dog opened his eyes wide, shook his body, and said with a grin, "It really is an ambush from all sides!"

Fang Zhixing remained calm and said calmly: "If enemies come, we will stop them; if water comes, we will block it with earth. As long as we pass this level, the sky will be high and the birds will fly freely."
