Four hundred and seventieth chapters cold as a knife
Chapter 472
Almost at the same moment that Gui Ji glanced down with a deadly look, a dagger coated with poison stabbed Mr. Du in the back, causing a crowd of exclamations.
Poof!
Caught off guard, the dagger brought up a large cloud of blood mist and penetrated straight into Mr. Du's back! The tearing pain enraged Mr. Du. He turned angrily and repeled the attacker with a palm, then he quickly crossed his legs and activated the soul in his body.
Force, trying to force the toxins out of the body.
Little did they know that by doing this, he accelerated the spread of toxins in his body. Everyone around him watched helplessly as Mr. Du's body stiffened little by little, and he fell to the ground, making no sound.
From the time Mr. Du stopped shouting to the time he was attacked and killed, it only took five breaths. When everyone reacted, there was no sign of the sneak attack.
The strong men of the Du family had eyes that were about to burst, they clenched their teeth, clenched their fists together, and when they looked up at Gui Ji, they made the sound of gnashing their teeth.
The reason why the Du family has such an extraordinary status in Licheng has a lot to do with Mr. Du's own strength and connections. Now that Mr. Du has died, this has greatly weakened the Du family's power in Licheng.
influence.
"Come here, Mr. Du has fainted from too much alcohol. Take him down to sober up."
Gui Ji glanced at it coldly, and immediately black-armored guards came to drag the body. Seeing this, the strong men of the Du family were not willing to let Mr. Du's body suffer such humiliation, so they resisted, but were killed by the black-armored guards who rushed forward.
Take it off and drag it down.
Everyone who saw this scene felt terrified. They looked around vigilantly, for fear of becoming the second unlucky person to be attacked.
"What a powerful poison!"
Luo Chen's eyes froze. Others may not have seen clearly what happened before, but he could clearly see that among the 127 evil soul master positions given by Butler Wei, there were many
Hidden within this pavilion
And the person who made the sneak attack earlier was one of them!
Luo Chen glanced at it from the corner of his eye. At that place, there was a figure holding his chest. The palm that Mr. Du had struck out in anger was very hard, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Of course, what Luo Chen was interested in was not the evil soul master, but the poison on the tip of the knife! A poison that even a strong person in the Seven-Star Martial Arts Will Realm could not resist.
Fighting is indeed somewhat rare.
For a strong man like Mr. Du, ordinary little poisons really can't hurt him at all.
But this poison killed Mr. Du!
A different kind of killing of chickens to scare monkeys ended, and it successfully shocked most of the people present. The blood on the blood-stained stone platform had not yet dried, and it was so dazzling to the eyes.
"The Du family is going to be finished!"
Many people secretly think that without Mr. Du, the Du family is like a paper tiger without teeth. How long can it last in the cruel family struggle?
This is a world that eats people without spitting out their bones. No matter how well-connected the aristocratic families are, it is impossible for them to be completely heart-to-heart with each other, because the interactions between aristocratic families are basically based on the common interests of both parties.
and on the premise that they have the same economic status.
Once this balance is broken, what is waiting is probably a stab in the back!
Because such things have always been common in the Soul Fighting Continent.
Tonight's banquet was quite exciting. It entered the sexual phase as soon as it started, and was pushed to its peak with a killing spree.
The power controlled by the City Lord's Mansion was really too terrifying. It was only the tip of the iceberg that was revealed, and without anyone noticing, it assassinated Mr. Du, who had a cultivation level as high as the Seven-Star Martial Arts Realm.
The unknown is the most terrifying thing. Gui Ji's move successfully shocked everyone present, except of course Luo Chen and the other three.
Pei Qianying secretly smacked her tongue. At this moment, she was very glad for her original choice.
In the crowd of guests, she saw Luo Chen and couldn't help but be a little surprised. She didn't expect that he actually came. Didn't he know that this was a trap?
Could it be that he really naively thought that he was invited to be a guest here? Pei Qianying was speechless, especially when she saw Luo Chen drinking alone, she didn't know what to say.
It's good.
How could he drink it under such circumstances? Was he not worried at all that the City Lord's Mansion would settle the score with his wife?
Don't tell me, Luo Chen really wasn't worried. He wasn't worried or worried, but there was still some expectation in his heart.
His hands had been empty for so long, and they were already a little itchy. He would be happy if he could move his muscles and bones.
So, a strange scene appeared on the scene. On the Ting Zi Pavilion, Gui Ji spoke to herself, and it was deathly quiet below. On the huge pavilion, there was only the sound of saliva gulping down drinks.
"It's not bad, you can try it too."
When the drink was gone, Luo Chen picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of secret braised pork. It was delicate, fat but not greasy, and very refreshing. Luo Chen couldn't help but praise it, and also picked up a piece for the mute girl.
"It's not like you don't know that I don't eat meat." The mute girl looked at Luo Chen, but still opened her mouth.
"How? How does it taste?"
"It's acceptable." The mute girl showed a happy smile, leaned forward and leaned gently on Luo Chen's right shoulder. Luo Chen took advantage of the situation and put his hand around the mute girl's waist, and actually laughed loudly.
, which completely attracted a series of strange looks.
Damn it! That's awesome, this guy is so fierce, he actually wants to pick up girls?
Pei Qianying put her hand on her forehead and couldn't help but spat through her clenched silver teeth. This is really a sin committed by God but can be forgiven, but a sin committed by oneself cannot survive!
If he had stayed there obediently, he might have been able to survive until the end of the banquet and leave calmly, but with such publicity, who would die if not you?
Luo Chen's wanton laughter also attracted Gui Ji's attention. When she saw Luo Chen, she was slightly startled for a moment, and then looked at the three silver-armored commanders following closely with questioning eyes.
She seemed to remember that she had said that this obstacle should be cleared, which was also the intention of the city lord.
Seeing the cold light from Gui Ji, the three silver-armored commanders couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. They quickly explained: "The people have been sent out, but for some reason, they haven't come back yet, and they are among the quotas for this invitation.
, it seems that there is no..."
"That's enough, no need to explain anymore!" Gui Ji interrupted the explanation with a dark face, and said in a cold voice: "Tonight is the critical period for my city lord's palace to regain control of Licheng. I don't want to be at this time.
The slightest mistake!"
Luo Chen, who was enjoying his meal, seemed not to notice that a black shadow was approaching him. The person was wearing a long black coat and a felt hat covering his face, and appeared quietly on his back.
At this moment, many people present opened their mouths involuntarily, and Pei Qianying also felt her heart jump into her throat. She instinctively wanted to remind Luo Chen.
But at this moment, she came into contact with the warning look from Gui Ji, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back into her stomach.
She didn't dare to interfere with the people the City Lord's Mansion wanted to touch, and she wouldn't intervene. If she wanted to blame him, she could only blame him for not being able to see the situation clearly and insisting on throwing eggs against rocks. Who could he blame?
Pei Qianying finally chose to watch with cold eyes. She just watched like this. When Luo Chen came into contact with her gaze, he opened his lips and showed a clean smile.
Pei Qianying retracted her gaze, turned her head, and stopped looking at him. At this moment, the figure behind him suddenly raised his palm, pointed the dagger at Luo Chen's head, and stabbed it down hard, intending to
Send the dagger into Luo Chen's head.
Pei Qianying couldn't help but look. At this time, as long as she spoke to remind him, with Luo Chen's reaction speed, it would be easy and pleasant to avoid this sneak attack. However, Pei Qianying did not do that. She chose to remain silent.
This approach is adopted by default.
The falling dagger was as fast as lightning, turning into afterimages falling downwards, and the dagger was inserted straight into Luo Chen's head.
However, an unexpected scene occurred. The imaginary explosion of blood did not appear. The dagger continued to fall downwards, and it turned out to be an afterimage!
"What?" The man who attacked suddenly froze, briefly confused, and then, almost without thinking, he stabbed behind him.
The dagger scratched, bringing up a foot-long cold light and piercing the air again.
"That's not how daggers are used. Come on, I'll teach you."
Luo Chen's voice appeared strangely in his ears. In an instant, his figure gradually solidified from his previous seat. His palm turned down, and the dagger turned around in his palm, playing new tricks. Then he
He stabbed it backwards without looking back, only to hear a popping sound.
The man who attacked from behind fell straight backwards and stopped moving.
From the beginning to the end, Luo Chen never looked back. He was not even sure whether he had left his seat. His expression was still so calm, with a gentle scholarly air, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
Handsome yet handsome.
"How is this possible!" Pei Qianying raised her head after hearing the sound. She lightly covered her red lips. What she saw was still Luo Chen's handsome face with a smile. As expected, Luo Chen was lying in a pool of blood.
It didn't appear, but the person who made the sneak attack fell on the cold stage, dying inexplicably.
"Master Pei, thank you very much." Luo Chen raised his empty wine glass towards Pei Qianying. His sudden thanks made Pei Qianying a little confused.
"Thank you for your silence."
After that, Luo Chen pretended to drink, raised his neck and tipped the wine glass upside down, and then the wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp crackle. His eyes were as cold as knives, and there was no warmth in the eyes he looked at Pei Qianying.
There was only one chance, but unfortunately, she did not seize it. At that moment, Luo Chen saw all the choices made by Pei Qianying. They were exactly the same as what he had expected and imagined, without any difference!
Even the demeanor and expression are very consistent, as if they have been rehearsed in advance. (To be continued)
