"Fei Zhong is dead?" Cheng Peng was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by Shen Qi's phone call and received such shocking news.
He hurriedly went online and rushed to the Imperial Medical Bureau, which was now surrounded by heavy troops. King Wucheng Huang Feihu, the mighty General Chao Tian, and the commander of the Forbidden Army Lu Xiong—the three military attachés of Chaoge all gathered here, but they all looked at each other in confusion.
"What's going on?" Although Cheng Peng had learned the general situation from the chat channel on the way, the specifics were still unclear. Seeing that the three generals all had serious faces, he quickly asked what happened.
Huang Feihu sighed and pointed to the deputy hall on the side, letting him see it by himself.
Cheng Peng looked over and saw that there were no guards at the crime scene that was supposed to be closely guarded. He couldn't help but be surprised. When he got closer, he finally understood the reason - a strong sword aura had covered the entire deputy hall.
Completely occupied!
This sword energy is extremely condensed, as if it has become a physical entity, without leaking out at all. Even a peerless master like Cheng Peng, who is a master of innate martial arts, has to get closer to feel its power. Naturally, one can imagine its power. Huang Feihu and others
People are smart, and since they themselves can't figure out a way to crack it, they certainly won't let the soldiers get close to it and die in vain.
Cheng Peng stood at the door of the deputy hall, his whole body filled with innate aura, combined with the contracted domain power, turning into a defense stronger than hundreds of refined steel, destroying the killing force that faintly flowed out of the sword aura.
He blocked all his thoughts and looked into the hall from a distance.
This auxiliary hall is not large, with stoves burning in many places for warmth. Six or seven fully armed soldiers, led by General Yin Pobai, who was also from the Shangtang lineage, surrounded Fei Zhong who was lying on the soft couch. However, the soldiers
However, they were all lying on the ground in a mess. Only Yin Pobai supported his body with a spear, staring in the direction of the hall door with angry eyes.
But... just by looking at the blood flowing from his eyes and his stiff body, you can tell that he is already dead.
(There are no wounds visible on the body, and they were not killed directly - this person did not kill them with sword energy, but directly forced them to death with sword energy. The sword energy was to prevent others from entering the room...)
Cheng Peng did not rush in rashly, but slowly floated into the air and carefully observed the situation in the hall, observing and thinking at the same time.
(Why does he want to prevent others from breaking in? According to his ability, his sword energy has reached the point where he can kill ghosts and gods. With just a stir of the sword energy, the entire deputy hall will be turned into powder without leaving any trace.
Why do you still want to leave such a crime scene?)
(Could it be that... it's for demonstration?)
Cheng Peng frowned and controlled the camera wizard to carefully take pictures of everything in the deputy hall from all angles. Then he went back to inform Huang Feihu and others that he had a way to break into the hall.
Under the watch of the three generals, he pushed his strength to the limit, and his whole body began to glow, and then he walked into the deputy hall.
As soon as he stepped into the deputy hall, the sword energy came towards him. Before the sword energy arrived, there was already a terrifying murderous intention that seemed to shatter everything. If the intruder was slightly weaker, even if it was not
If you die on the spot under the sword's will, you will be forced out of the hall - this is how Huang Feihu was forced out not long ago.
Cheng Peng's eyes turned cold and he didn't make a move. He just slammed into the sword intent. The seemingly invincible sword intent hit him like a huge wave hitting a rock. In an instant, it was torn apart and exploded into countless pieces.
Want to use his aura and murderous intent in front of someone like him? Try your best!
Cheng Peng took another step forward, and the sword energy finally roared towards him. He was about to hit him, but he raised his left hand and spread his palm. He simulated the "Bu Tian Pavilion" secret skill of Butian Pavilion using the martial arts, and it froze.
A space directly locked the sword energy in it, and then the true energy solidified into ice, freezing the sword energy inside.
The sword energy was extremely sharp. Once it escaped the restriction of "Mending the Sky", it immediately started to ring. Seeing that it was about to break through the ice, Cheng Peng did not hesitate to take out a sealing bead produced by the system mall and use it to
The sword energy was sealed together with the ice.
All this sounds long, but in fact it was just a flash of lightning in less than a second. Before Huang Feihu and others could see clearly, the terrifying sword energy was broken by Cheng Peng with a raised hand, and the original warmth returned to the entire deputy hall -
—That's what those fires did.
"What a skill!" The three generals praised him and hurriedly walked into the deputy hall to study the scene of the crime.
In fact, there is nothing interesting about the crime scene. No matter Fei Zhong, Yin PoBai or the soldiers all died silently, they didn't even have time to leave any traces. The only trace was Yin PoBai's wide-open angry eyes and satisfaction.
The face was unwilling.
"Alas...another headless case..." Lu Xiong sighed, "When the emperor asks tomorrow, how should we answer?"
Huang Feihu and Chao Tian looked at each other, and both smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
How else can I answer? Just tell the truth.
"What if the emperor wants us to arrest this person?"
When Lu Xiong raised this question, Huang Feihu and Chao Tian immediately rolled their eyes and cursed this guy secretly. He was indeed a loser with nothing else in his mind except loyalty!
A burst of sword energy forced the three of them to not even enter the hall door. If Cheng Peng hadn't broken the sword energy, the three of them would still be wandering around outside. There is such a big difference in strength. To capture them? Not to mention there are no clues at all.
, even if that person is standing in front of them right now, can they catch him?
"Now I finally understand what you often say!" On the way to the palace to wait for the morning court, Huang Feihu said to Cheng Peng with a livid face, "Intelligence is a flaw!"
Of course, this was about Lu Xiong... This brother with intellectual flaws actually raised this matter in the morning, and then asked Emperor Xin to order someone to hunt down the assassin, which immediately caused everyone to boo.
, the good-tempered ones rolled their eyes, and the bad-tempered ones, such as Dr. Meibo, directly scolded him as "a human head and a pig's brain" - this man has such amazing magical powers, how can any ordinary person hunt him down? Even if Cheng Peng could defeat him,
Then you have to stay in Chaoge to protect the emperor!
Fortunately, Di Xin's intelligence was good, and he immediately figured out the key points, rejected Lu Xiong's request, and only ordered various places to investigate the matter again.
"Gu feels that... something is a bit strange." After the dynasty, while sitting in the study to rest and deal with the memorial, Di Xin said thoughtfully, "Jiang Huan's abilities are ordinary, not to mention that Gu had guards around him at that time.
, even if he is alone, he is not Gu's opponent. He can be killed with three punches and two kicks. Why send such a person as an assassin? Even if Fei Zhong wanted to frame Dong Bohou, he shouldn't have done so poorly! And that female assassin
What's going on? Could it be that she has a grudge against Fei Zhong and others? Or maybe she wants to stop them? But why didn't she just tell Gu the truth directly and use this assassination method? This third assassin is more
It's inexplicable. Fei Zhong is seriously injured and may die at any time. Does he still need to kill people to silence him? In the end, he exposed himself... How many people in the world can have such extraordinary swordsmanship!"
The more he talked, the more confused he became. He sighed deeply and raised his hand to rub his forehead.
"Gu is the emperor, and his specialty is governing the country, not solving crimes... I would rather this person imitate Yuan Futong and raise a flag to rebel, and fight Gu for 300 rounds! That would be quite refreshing!"
