Chapter 273 Provoking a Fight
Chapter 273 Provoking a Fight
Jin Chengfeng turned around, the smile on his face not fading at all, but his eyes flashed with coldness: "What is the purpose of Elder Huang's move? Are you trying to provoke internal strife?"
After he finished speaking, a silver needle suddenly appeared in his palm. He flicked his finger lightly and the silver needle flew like an arrow straight to the vital point of Elder Huang's neck.
Elder Huang reacted quickly, taking the long sword from the table and holding it across his chest, trying to block the sudden attack.
But the silver needle was so powerful that even after piercing the scabbard, its momentum remained unabated.
At the same time, Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu outside the house noticed the unusual movement inside. Fan Yanmu hugged Xiao Zhixue and used his lightness skills to jump onto the roof, ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.
Immediately afterwards, a group of strong men holding weapons and with fierce looks on their faces rushed into the yard like wild beasts, targeting Jin Chengfeng in the house, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Jin Chengfeng showed no fear, and looked at Elder Huang coldly. Although his voice was soft, it revealed a majesty that could not be ignored: "What do you want to do? Do you want to provoke a fight here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze and a storm was about to come.
Elder Huang slowly stood up, walked to the front of the crowd, waved his arm, and ordered decisively: "Capture him!"
With this simple and decisive order, a battle between power, grudges and survival quietly kicked off in this unknown corner.
The sturdy men came like a tide, with ferocious looks on their faces, confident that they could easily subdue Jin Chengfeng by relying on their numerical advantage.
However, they did not expect that the young man in front of them, who seemed to be alone, actually had treacherous means in his heart.
Jin Chengfeng sneered and turned his wrist slightly. Like a magician, two poison gas bombs with a faint green glow appeared out of thin air between his hands.
His eyes were sharp, like a hunting leopard, and he displayed extraordinary calmness and ruthlessness at this critical moment of life and death.
"Oh!"
With a dull explosion, the poisonous gas suddenly spread like thick fog, instantly filling every corner.
The air became turbid and toxic, and the people in the house panicked and dodged, but it was too late.
The crisis is like an invisible giant hand, silently strangling everyone's throat.
Elder Huang remained somewhat clear-headed in this moment of chaos. He quickly covered his mouth and nose and warned at the top of his lungs: "Hold your breath!"
But his reminder was like the last breeze of late autumn, failing to reach everyone's ears in time.
Everyone fell to the ground one after another, their bodies stiff and unable to move, and they could only stare at the gradually blurry world in despair.
Jin Chengfeng's figure flashed, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed. The sword light was like a dragon, pointing directly at the frightened Elder Huang.
Seeing that the indoor environment was unfavorable, Elder Huang made a prompt decision and staggered back to the door, hoping that he could turn the situation around in an open area.
In the courtyard, two figures were fighting each other, swords were flying, leaves were falling, and dust was rising.
On the roof, Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu stood silently, with no emotion in their eyes, as if they were waiting for the best opportunity to reap the benefits.
Although Elder Huang is a martial arts expert, he is old. Facing the agile and deadly Jin Chengfeng, he gradually feels exhausted and finds it increasingly difficult to defend himself.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Jin Chengfeng's sword pierced Elder Huang's left shoulder like a poisonous snake.
Instantly, a tingling sensation accompanied by a feeling of numbness spread throughout the body. Elder Huang's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "The sword is poisonous!"
Despite the excruciating pain in his shoulder, Elder Huang relied on his deep inner strength to launch a final counterattack.
A scornful smile appeared on Jin Chengfeng's lips. He turned the sword lightly and swung it again to deliver a fatal blow, hitting Elder Huang's heart.
The sword was fast and accurate, and it pierced through Elder Huang's body like a fragile bamboo tube.
Elder Huang's body swayed, and he finally fell to the ground powerlessly, blood foam oozing from the corners of his mouth, his eyes wide open, and the fire of life gradually went out.
Jin Chengfeng took out a plain silk handkerchief from his arms and wiped the blood off the sword carelessly, but his eyes never left the ground.
His voice was low and majestic: "The two of you on the roof, the show has ended, would you like to come down and watch the ending together?"
Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu exchanged a knowing look, surprised that their whereabouts had been discovered by Jin Chengfeng.
Fan Yanmu gently embraced Xiao Zhixue's slender waist, and the two of them stretched out their bodies, like a pair of lotus flowers, and landed lightly in front of Jin Chengfeng.
Jin Chengfeng casually threw away the blood-stained silk handkerchief, pointed the tip of his sword at the two of them, and said provocatively: "Now, it's our turn to settle the score. Do you want to fight one-on-one, or do you plan to join forces?"
Fan Yanmu did not answer, but drew his sword to fight, and started a fierce sword dance with Jin Chengfeng under the moonlight.
Xiao Zhixue had sharp eyes. She noticed that Jin Chengfeng's sleeves were empty and those dangerous poison gas bombs had obviously been used up.
Compared to Fan Yanmu, Jin Chengfeng is indeed slightly inferior in martial arts.
This made Xiao Zhixue secretly happy. If Jin Chengfeng was allowed to escape to Dongchu, the consequences would be disastrous.
After confirming that Jin Chengfeng's poison gas bombs had been used up, she entered the house with confidence to confirm whether the rest of the people in Xun Yutang had any chance of survival.
After checking, Xiao Zhixue saw that everyone was dead. She felt relieved and walked out slowly.
Outside the house, Fan Yanmu had gained the upper hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Chengfeng quietly took out his last trump card from his sleeve - several extremely sharp short blades.
But before he could use it, he was interrupted by Xiao Zhixue's scream, followed by a heavy blow from Fan Yanmu.
Jin Chengfeng's body fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string. His chest felt stuffy and breathing was difficult. A smell of rust came out of his throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu took advantage of the situation and approached, without any hesitation, they stabbed Jin Chengfeng in the throat with a sword, ending his life.
On Jin Chengfeng's body, Xiao Zhixue found the original secret letter concerning the fate of Xiliang. She learned that it had not fallen into the hands of the Emperor of Dongchu, and a huge stone in her heart finally fell.
After handing the secret letter to Fan Yanmu, the two left the old house that had witnessed countless killings, galloped on horseback, and headed straight for Shengyuan Mansion.
Xiao Zhixue originally thought that she would spend her whole life in Nanchong City, but after experiencing this incident, her mood has changed.
The demise of Xun Yu Tang and Jin Cheng Feng means that Xiliang's secrets are still safe. As long as the remaining forces of Dong Chu are completely eradicated, the war can be declared over.
On the way back, Xiao Zhixue revealed her true feelings and said she wanted a stable life. Fan Yanmu was naturally delighted to hear that.
He has eliminated most of the threats on the southwestern border, and now is the best time to return to the border and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
"In three days, I will go to the border with you and clear all obstacles. After that, we can let our family and fellow villagers settle down in the capital with peace of mind."
Xiao Zhixue's eyes were firm and warm, full of longing for future life. "I am tired of wandering, and my family also longs for peace."
