Chapter 462: Do not play cards according to the routine
Gu Cheng's sudden opening made those who were cooperating with Lan Qier's pursuit confused.
This Gu Cheng is a bit unconventional.
Under normal circumstances, if you are a hero and save a beauty, and we villains say harsh words and leave, you should start enjoying the beauty's soft words of gratitude. Why are you stopping us?
So these people were a little confused at this time, because there was no such scene in the script, so how could they act?
Taking action out of embarrassment? They knew Gu Cheng's identity, and taking action at this time was looking for death.
Giving up and running away? That's also suspicious. You knew you couldn't beat him before you even made a move?
But before they could react, Gu Cheng said coldly: "Robbing a girl by force is an unpardonable crime! She deserves to be killed!"
As Gu Cheng finished speaking, he waved his hand and five rays of Yin Qi flew out. The five ghosts had twisted off the head of the leader in an instant, and the body fell off the horse.
The remaining people were already standing there in a daze, their eyes full of horror.
Is it unpardonable to rob a civilian girl? The key to the problem is that they didn't succeed in robbing her. Is there any need to be so cruel as to have her head ripped off?
And it's not over yet. The five ghosts moved them like a roll call, twisting off the heads of those people one by one. In an instant, the headless corpses fell to the ground like wheat. This scene did not look like a hero saving a beauty. It was simply
It’s like massacre!
Lan Qier also stayed there. She hesitated and said: "Sir...actually you don't have to..."
Gu Cheng turned around and said with a faint smile: "No need? Girl, these people want to force you to marry someone you don't like. What they lose is just their heads, but what you lose is your future love. So
Is it possible that someone who has committed a serious crime should not be killed?"
Lan Qier immediately held back the rest of her words.
If these people die, they will die. If she talks too much and exposes herself, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Grandma Long had given her information about Gu Cheng before she came here. Although the information said that Gu Cheng would cause a bloody storm wherever he went, she never expected that he would be so cruel and murderous, and he also liked Gu Cheng.
Twist people's heads.
Qin Ming also looked at Gu Cheng with some surprise. Although he didn't have much contact with Gu Cheng, he also knew Gu Cheng's temperament.
Although Gu Cheng is ruthless and decisive in his actions, he is definitely not the kind of murderous person. At least he will not twist off the heads of those people just because of the slightest crime like he is now.
So there must be a reason why Gu Cheng did what he did.
Qin Ming couldn't help but look at Lan Qier's beautiful face, with a look of understanding in his eyes.
There was panic and fear in Lan Qier's eyes. A normal person should indeed be horrified and fearful when seeing this horrific scene, but her panic and fear were not because of this scene, but because of Gu Cheng himself. This is worth it.
Thoughtful.
General Lin and others focused their attention on Gu Cheng, but they subconsciously ignored Qin Ming, an old retired general.
After all, he is also a person who has been involved in officialdom and politics all his life. Although Qin Ming is not good at observing words and expressions, he still noticed such details.
However, Qin Ming didn't say much and just watched what Gu Cheng planned to do.
After twisting off everyone's heads, Gu Cheng clapped his hands, looked at Lan Qier and said with a faint smile: "Girl, no one is forcing you now, you can go."
Lan Qier was stunned for a moment. Gu Cheng didn't follow the rules. Normally, shouldn't he ask about his situation and then comfort him?
But at this moment, Lan Qier had no choice but to act like she was in despair, and cried out: "Where else can the slave family go? The people in my own village have traded me out like a commodity. I am a weak woman in this world."
How to survive?
The master saved me today, which is equivalent to giving me a new life. If the master does not dislike me, I am willing to accompany you and serve you as a cow and a horse."
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "Since you are so eager to stay by my side, then I will reluctantly agree to it."
Kou An on the side simply couldn't stand listening anymore.
Even if he is a rough guy, but you still look embarrassed and aggrieved when such a beauty begs to stay by your side, the adults in his family are too pretentious.
Lan Qier was also surprised and confused at this time, and she was also a little unsure whether Gu Cheng could see the flaw in her body.
If he saw it, why didn't Gu Cheng take action? If he didn't see it, what did his current actions mean? It's simply unpredictable.
The group of people took Lan Qier and set off on the road immediately. After nightfall, they were ready to find an inn to rest.
However, because of the previous incident with Chun Si Niang and others, Gu Cheng now has a shadow on these inns in the southwest.
He is not afraid of these people coming to trouble him, he is just a little tired of these people always coming up with some disgusting means to affect his appetite.
So this time Gu Cheng went directly to the public inn run by the government on Guan Road, which could also be used as a post station when necessary.
However, when Gu Cheng stepped into the inn, he found that there was not even a single guest in the entire inn. The shopkeeper and the waiter were all huddled behind, looking frightened.
There was only one person sitting there drinking in the huge inn. To be precise, he wasn't drinking. He just put a jug of wine in front of him and didn't drink it. He just stared at the jug blankly, looking very weird.
This man wore tattered black clothes, was tall and thin, and had a strange face. His face was twisted diagonally and covered with wrinkles, as if it were a thousand-year-old dead tree that had become a spirit.
He also carried a sword on his back, a sword that seemed to be made of dead branches, exuding a deep and dark aura.
The moment Gu Cheng and others entered the inn, the strange man immediately focused his attention on Gu Cheng, cracked the corners of his mouth, and let out a strange laugh, his voice as ugly as a night owl.
Qin Ming frowned and said in a deep voice: "Gu Xiaoyou, be careful, the one who comes is not good!"
Gu Cheng nodded, he knew this situation without Qin Ming telling him.
However, Gu Cheng was a little surprised. Why didn't he seem to be peaceful all the way to the southwest?
It was obvious that there was something wrong with that woman Lan Qier. Someone was deliberately plotting against him. Gu Cheng kept her because he wanted to see if he could fish out anyone.
The guy in front of him clearly came for him. Although Gu Cheng couldn't feel his specific cultivation level, Gu Cheng could detect a powerful force from him, which was enough to pose a threat to him.
of great power.
The weird man looked at Gu Cheng, then at Qin Ming, and laughed ferociously: "Are you Gu Cheng? And that old immortal Qin Ming.
It just so happens that today my sworn brother's revenge can also be avenged!"
A strange look flashed in Qin Ming's eyes: "Sworn brother? Are you the mountain ghost Jiao Peng!?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Where does this guy come from? Is he very difficult to deal with?"
Qin Ming said in a deep voice: "He is the mountain ghost Jiao Peng, the sworn brother of the water demon Meng Tao. He was not difficult to deal with in his early years, but it is said that he was forced into the southwest mountains by his enemies and died long ago. As a result, he is now
But he appears here, and looking at the aura of his current cultivation, I am afraid that he got some kind of opportunity in the mountains of the southwest."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "You seem to have found the wrong person if you want revenge. Meng Tao was not killed by us."
Jiao Peng said coldly: "I know!
But you must have participated in the siege of your sworn brother!
That thief Ling Tianming died together with his sworn brother. He died too easily!
When my sworn brother faced a powerful enemy alone to save me, I managed to survive hiding in the dense forest in the southwest. I feel so guilty!"
As he said that, the crazy Jiao Peng burst into tears.
Jiao Peng was not pretending to cry, but he was really crying. Others could even feel the sadness.
After crying, Jiao Peng looked at Gu Cheng and Qin Ming again, with murderous intent on his face.
"If my adopted brother dies, how can he be buried with Ling Tianming? So you should die together too!"
Gu Cheng frowned and said, "Why is this guy so nervous? Is his brain abnormal?"
Qin Ming said in a deep voice: "Although he was an evil cultivator before, he was still a normal person.
Now it seems that there is indeed something wrong with what he is practicing.
This low-level heretical method may allow a person to have power comparable to that of a master or even higher, but in the end it will always have fatal weaknesses and shortcomings."
Just as Qin Ming finished speaking, Jiao Peng's feet moved and his whole body turned into a shadow and rushed towards Gu Cheng and others!
That wasn't the speed of his movements, but his whole body seemed to really 'melt' into shadow, becoming an extremely rich dark attribute power.
Gu Cheng's whole body bloomed with Buddha light, and he violently pulled the shadow outside the inn. At the same time, he said to Qin Ming in a deep voice: "Old general, help me protect the others!"
Jiao Peng's strength has already made Gu Cheng feel a little threatened, so Qin Ming does not have the strength to besiege the opponent with Gu Cheng at this time.
Since the last time Burning Shouyuan fought against the water demon Meng Tao, the old general Qin Ming's own strength has dropped a lot. At this time, his combat power can only guarantee that he is wandering between a master and a non-grandmaster, and he is no longer able to deal with this kind of situation.
A bloody battle scene.
The shadow was wrapped in the rich Buddha light, and Jiao Peng's figure appeared in it.
He suddenly pulled away the tattered clothes on his body, but what was revealed was not a flesh and blood body, but a pitch-black hole of nothingness!
The powerful suction force in the black hole of nothingness suddenly struck, and even the Buddha's light around Gu Cheng was swallowed up by the black hole.
Gu Cheng could even vaguely see that there were ferocious human heads in the black hole, grinning strangely. Apparently these people were swallowed into the black hole in his body by Jiao Peng in the past, and their bodies were digested, leaving only
The resentful soul will be tortured forever!
Gu Cheng frowned slightly, unsheathed the Longxiao Sword, and the dazzling sword light slashed down like a swimming dragon. The brewing powerful dragon energy instantly tore the connection between the black hole and the Buddha's light, forcing Jiao Peng back.
