When the shopkeeper of Zuifenglou heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said in shock: "Impossible, how could the food be poisonous?"
The waiter also looked panicked, shaking his head like a rattle, and said: "I don't know, I don't know, it has nothing to do with me."
The other Jianghu warriors in Zuifeng Tower also changed their expressions and quickly put down their chopsticks.
The owner of the restaurant looked extremely flustered. They were in the restaurant business, and once word got out that the food was poisonous, Zuifenglou would be doomed.
What's more, Gu Chen is number one in the Star Ranking, and is also the Inspector General of Jingtian Division. If he died here today because of eating Zuifenglou's food, the entire Zuifenglou, including his family, would have to die.
I couldn’t eat and walked around.
Gu Chen's expression was calm and he did not get angry immediately, because he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zuifenglou, and the shopkeeper could not be so stupid as to dare to poison a court official.
"I...I'm going to call the cook who made this dish. Please wait a moment."
After the shopkeeper said this, he hurriedly ran towards the kitchen. Soon, he led a middle-aged man of medium build and honest appearance over.
"Did you cook this dish?" Gu Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Yes." The honest-looking middle-aged man nodded.
"Did you see some suspicious people while cooking?" Gu Chen asked with a frown.
"No." The honest man shook his head. He answered whatever Gu Chen asked. He spoke very little. You could tell at a glance that he was a very boring person.
"I understand." Gu Chen nodded and signaled to the shopkeeper to take this person down.
The shopkeeper quickly said: "Mr. Gu, you have also seen that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our restaurant. Maybe there was an accident?"
Gu Chen just wanted to speak, but the next moment, Gu Chen suddenly frowned and felt an astonishing killing intent.
laugh!
In the Zuifeng Tower, a cold light suddenly appeared, and a flying knife no bigger than a thumb flashed through the air at an extremely fast speed, stabbing Gu Chen's throat.
Facing this sudden crisis, Gu Chen's pupils dilated, and the pattern of the flying knife became more and more clear in his eyes. At the last moment, Gu Chen's expression changed, he stretched out two fingers, and twisted the flying knife with great precision.
In hand.
This may seem inconspicuous, but the sharpness of the thumb-sized flying knife was vaguely superior to that of a low-grade treasure soldier, and it almost cut his skin.
But the sturdiness was far inferior to other aspects. Gu Chen exerted slight force and the flying knife between his fingers broke into two pieces.
It seemed that the assassin was familiar with his situation and knew that he was a body-refining warrior, so he specially prepared this special weapon to deal with Gu Chen.
Seeing Gu Chen being attacked in his restaurant, the restaurant owner was immediately shocked. As soon as he spoke, Gu Chen was faster than him.
"Get out of the way!"
When the restaurant manager heard this, he looked startled, and suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him, causing his body to tremble subconsciously.
boom!
At this time, Gu Chen appeared behind him and helped him block the blow.
Gu Chen looked at the honest-looking middle-aged man in front of him, frowned slightly, and said, "I almost lost my sight."
If it hadn't been for this person's action, Gu Chen would have almost never noticed that this person possessed martial arts. This hidden skill was indeed extremely high. It was basically a sure shot when used for assassination, and few people could react.
"Are you the killer of Xueyilou?" Gu Chen asked coldly. This extremely hidden method of condensing Qi is very rare in the world, and the person in front of him had just erupted with fierce murderous intent. Gu Chen suddenly
There are some guesses.
Condensing a whole body of energy in the body, hiding it in one point, and erupting with lightning speed when needed, this is the secret technique of Xueyilou.
"He's actually the killer of the Bloody Clothes Building?!"
In the Zui Feng Tower, when the other Jianghu warriors heard the three words "Blood Clothes Tower", their expressions suddenly changed, as if they had seen a savage beast, and they ran away one by one as if they were avoiding some disaster.
The Bloody Clothes Tower is one of the three heretics. The Three Heretics refer to the three major killer organizations in the world, and the Bloody Clothes Tower is one of them.
Among the three heretics, the Bloody Clothes House has been the most active in recent years, so it also has the most evil reputation.
The Bloody Clothes Tower claims that there is no one in the world that they dare not kill, and in fact it is true. From the princes, nobles and ministers of the imperial court to all the major forces in the world of Jiuzhou, the Bloody Clothes Tower dares to send people to assassinate them.
It can be said that just these three words "Xueyilou" are enough to scare people in the world.
After all, they are a group of killers, and killers have no bottom line. Offending them means an endless pursuit until death.
Before Emperor Xia went into seclusion, he had thought about eradicating the cancer of the Blood-clothed Building. However, the Blood-clothed Building was too cunning and had always been hidden in the dark and never exposed, so this matter has never been successful.
Of course, because of the current Xia Emperor, the Blood Clothes Building has restrained itself a lot. It was not until the Xia Emperor had been in seclusion in recent years that he dared to show up again.
The middle-aged man with a simple face said nothing. He pulled it casually and his clothes were torn. He was wearing a blood-stained suit with a black word "kill" embroidered on his chest.
"Black List Killer!"
Some warriors couldn't help but exclaimed. The black list is a list inside the Blood Clothes Building. Being on the black list means that you are stronger than the killers of the same level, and you are an elite level figure.
At the same time, the Black List Killer will not take action easily. Only those who are famous in the world, or geniuses like Gu Chen who have been on the Star List, the Blood Clothes Tower will send out the Black List Killer.
And once the black list killer is dispatched, it means that this person is on the Xueyilou's must-kill list and will not stop dying.
"Who paid such a high price to offer a reward?" All the warriors looked confused.
If you want the Blood Clothes Tower to send out a black list killer, the price is extremely high, unless there is a deep hatred.
Of course, Xue Yi Lou himself did not rule out that after seeing Gu Chen ascending to the top of the Star Ranking, he wanted to establish his authority, so he sent a black list assassin to assassinate Gu Chen.
After all, when the present saint took to the rivers and lakes, although he failed to completely destroy the Xueyi Tower, it also caused their vitality to be severely damaged and killed many masters of the Xueyi Tower, including one of their deputy building masters.
Because of this, Xueyi Lou Ji hated Daxia, but due to the current Holy Emperor, he could only hide it.
After all, if the Blood Clothes Tower had dared to show up in the first place, it might have been completely destroyed long ago.
Today's Emperor Xia is recognized by the world as the number one expert in Kyushu. Regardless of his strength or status, he stands on the top of Kyushu and overlooks the world.
If he hadn't spent twenty-three years in a state of death in order to break through the realm of heaven and man, maybe Kyushu would have been unified long ago and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.
Whoosh!
At this time, the blacklist killer moved, and Gu Chen could see clearly that the other party's fingers hidden on both sides moved slightly, and then a cold light shot towards Gu Chen.
It’s still a flying knife!
But this time, Gu Chen was already on guard. His eyesight was extremely accurate. When the flying knife was about to hit him in mid-air, he flicked his finger, and with a bang, the blade broke and turned into countless fragments.
Shooting in all directions.
"go!"
Gu Chen blasted out with a palm, gathering the fragments with his inner breath, mixed them into the wind of his palm, and hit the black list killer.
The Black List Killer's face was paralyzed, showing no expression from beginning to end. When he saw Gu Chen's palm wind coming, he also struck out with a powerful palm. The two palm winds collided with each other. With a bang, the restaurant collapsed instantly.
, a crowd of people yelled and ran outside.
The killer was not surprised at all that Gu Chen had also reached the Outer Qi realm. Apparently, everything was within his expectation.
As a killer, he will not fight head-on. It is what a killer should do if he misses a single blow and escapes thousands of miles away. After fighting with Gu Chen, the blacklisted killer of the Blood Clothes Building also figured out the general strength of Gu Chen.
If you dodge, you have to run away.
"You can't leave!"
Gu Chen shouted coldly, with a stern look on his face. After assassinating him, he wanted to run away. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
laugh!
Gu Chen pointed out, and a powerful force shot out with a scorching breath, rushing towards the back of the man. Feeling the power of Gu Chen's blow, the Black List Killer frowned slightly, but he had no idea.
Without turning back, he released his inner breath and formed a wall of energy behind him, trying to block Gu Chen's blow.
boom!
The finger force of the Burning Pulse Finger penetrated the air wall and hit the Black List Killer in the back of the heart, making him tremble with disbelief in his eyes.
You know, he is in the late stage of the Outer Qi Realm, but he can't even block an attack from an early stage of the Outer Qi Realm?
The power of the Burning Pulse Finger exploded in his body, and there were faint burning sensations in his meridians and internal organs. He felt Gu Chen's difficulty and knew that he had to leave as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, when Fengyang City's defense force arrives, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.
As a killer, he was very good at holding his breath and escaping. His footwork was exquisite and his speed was very fast. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing against his face. It turned out that it was Gu Chen who came to him.
boom!
Gu Chen didn't say anything, and punched out directly. The Black List Killer felt like a hill was smashed over him, and the force was extremely shocking.
"How could he be so fast?" The Black List Killer was puzzled, but after all, he was in the late stage of the Outer Qi Realm and had extremely rich combat experience. He leaned backwards, his body parallel to the ground, and managed to avoid it by a hair's breadth.
With this blow, Gu Chen's fist blow caused pain to his cheek.
Gu Chen's face didn't change, as if he had expected it. His closed fingers suddenly opened and he smacked down.
"ah!"
The Black List Killer screamed, obviously not expecting Gu Chen to change his moves so quickly. Even with the inner breath protecting his body, Gu Chen's palm felt as if his internal organs were about to shift. Wow.
A large mouthful of blood spurted out.
Just now, he truly felt the majestic inner aura from Gu Chen, which was a much deeper skill than he, a warrior in the late stage of the outer aura realm.
A flash of horror flashed in this man's eyes. Even if Gu Chen is a genius and is number one in the star list, how could he surpass him in terms of skill just after breaking through to the outer aura realm?
Naturally, Gu Chen didn't care about what this person was thinking. When he saw the other person preparing to run away, he directly volleyed a little higher, leaving a scorch mark in the air with a scorching finger force, and rushed away.
