The cold wind poured into the forest and rolled up layers of withered yellow leaves on the ground.
Fine dust and debris are blown up, forming floating objects that look like yellow snow.
Zhang Rongfang looked at Zhao Tianming with a distorted face through the eyes of the mask.
"Since you did what you did that day, you should have thought that what happened today will definitely happen."
He walked closer step by step. His boots crushed the dead leaves on the ground, and then the broken leaves were picked up by the wind and blown forward.
"It's you!!" Zhao Tianming suddenly twisted and yelled, pointing his finger at Zhang Rongfang.
"It's all you!! If you didn't show up in the first place, how could I possibly have done it! How..."
Bang!!
In an instant, a figure rushed in front of him, grabbed his throat with one hand, and raised him high.
puff.
Another dagger quietly pierced Zhao Tianming's heart.
The hilt of the sword was twisted hard.
Blood overflowed from the edge of the wound, gradually staining the clothes red.
Zhao Tianming struggled. He was attacked at the moment when his emotions were most intense. The huge difference in strength prevented him from even making a little resistance.
"Please... let... let go of my... family..." He raised his hand and tried to catch Zhang Rongfang.
But when the arm was raised halfway, it fell down weakly.
"I promise you. I can't live up to my family." Zhang Rongfang said softly with a hint of unbearability in his eyes.
In one day, he witnessed too much killing and death.
After hearing this sentence, Zhao Tianming finally slowly closed his eyes, tilted his head, and completely lost his voice.
Zhang Rongfang let go of his hand, sighed, and let it fall to the ground.
Without looking at the body again, he turned around and left quickly.
Previously, he had just received the news, so he hurriedly came to deal with Zhao Tianming.
Zhao Tianming thought he could escape, but unfortunately, today's Tanyang City is full of people from the Golden Wing Tower.
The power of the Golden Wing Tower radiates throughout the city, and no one can escape the surveillance of the dead soldiers and intelligence personnel.
After walking quickly through the forest for dozens of seconds, Zhang Rong came to a burning ruins of a building.
The ruins are full of collapsed buildings, broken beams, burning walls, and piles of black smoke.
and corpses all over the ground.
At the front of the ruins, a broken plaque on the ground clearly showed several large characters: Zhaojiazhuang.
Zhang Rongfang quickly found a fire, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the manuscript and silk in his arms.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly a voice sounded behind him.
Zhang Rongfang was stabbed all over, and chills surged from his back to his head.
He let go of his hand and turned around slowly.
Standing behind him is none other than the goddess Tongzhang.
She was dressed in white, flawless, with long hair swaying in the wind, and holding a gold needle on her fingertips.
He stared at Zhang Rongfang with deep eyes.
"You...just went to kill someone?"
Zhang Rongfang was silent for a moment.
"Subordinate... I just received news from my subordinate, so I went to deal with a traitor in advance."
Tongzhang stared at him quietly, his eyes unblinking, and his clear black pupils reflected the reflection of the person in front of him like a mirror.
The wind helped the fire grow bigger and bigger.
Gradually, even the last bits of debris in Zhaojiazhuang were engulfed in flames.
The two looked at each other for several seconds.
Zhang Rongfang was the first to bow his head to show respect.
I don't know why, but he always feels frightened at any time in front of the goddess Tongzhang.
As if...as if the other party might attack him at any time.
"You are a good boy...a good boy...don't do bad things..."
"...Yes!" The feeling of horror in Zhang Rongfang's heart gradually sank and disappeared.
His body's instincts felt that the alert was lifted, and he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test.
Originally, he had been following Tiannu Tongzhang, but just now he took advantage of the other party's brief absence to go after Zhao Tianming. This in itself was a disrespectful act.
As a member of the organization, I would act on my own without asking my superiors for instructions at this time.
If it had been someone else with a bad temper, he would have been suspected on the spot of being a tip-off and collaborating with the enemy.
"Let's go..." Goddess Tongzhang turned around and continued walking towards the forest on the left side of Zhaojiazhuang.
Every step she took seemed gentle, but the distance she covered was much larger than imagined.
It's almost like floating, with a tap of your toes, it glides a few meters away.
Zhang Rongfang spread out his body skills and managed to follow her not far behind.
"All the secret sects hidden in Zhaojiazhuang have been killed. Why did you tell that person just now that you were willing to bypass his family?"
The goddess' sudden words almost frightened Zhang Rongfang so much that he trembled and stopped where he was.
He opened his mouth, but his throat felt so dry that he couldn't say a word.
"Are you afraid?" The goddess did not turn around, "You have done nothing wrong, why are you afraid?"
"Subordinate..." Zhang Rongfang wanted to say something, but he didn't know what excuse to use.
The other party's ability to clearly see hidden emotions made him feel more cautious.
"My subordinate, I just feel that he is going to die eventually, so it would be better to let him die more peacefully. In this way, maybe he won't turn into a ghost and harm me in the future."
Zhang Rongfang answered carefully.
This answer was obviously beyond the goddess' expectations.
She looked at Zhang Rongfang strangely.
"Do you believe there are ghosts in the world?"
Zhang Rongfang was silent for a moment and answered.
"I don't know...but since we are going to take action, we must avoid all possible troubles. Therefore, even if there is a ghost, letting him go with peace of mind can reduce the danger and trouble."
Even that kind of weird statue has appeared, what else is impossible?
The goddess looked at him with a strange look.
It seems that now I really feel that this guy is a talent.
"Let's go."
She said no more and moved on.
The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived in front of a completely unfamiliar small village.
Groups of Yunyan soldiers in gray and white armor had already arrived in the village in advance.
Bodies of villagers were lying everywhere on the ground.
Most of the elderly, children, women, and farmers were beheaded to death, and a small number had their necks wiped.
Zhang Rongfang even saw two infant babies chopped into two pieces with a knife...
He sighed in his heart. Looking forward, he saw that the goddess Tongzhang had already met with a strong dead warrior commander who was at least two meters tall.
The commander was reporting something to her in a low voice.
The sound was too low and the wind was too loud, so I couldn't hear clearly for a while.
Zhang Rongfang was not in the mood to eavesdrop at this time, so he wanted to quickly find an opportunity to completely burn the scriptures in his arms.
This scripture is not even allowed to be copied by hand, and obviously its contents must not be known to anyone.
Manuscripts are generally very likely to contain errors and omissions, so this version is not allowed to be leaked.
what does that mean?
This means that Jinzhilou and Lingting are not willing to take any risks.
If Zhang Rongfang still cannot guess the background of Golden Wing Tower by now, then he has really lived such a long life in vain.
Not long after, the two of them finished their exchange, and the commander led a group of people and turned around and left.
The goddess Tongzhang continued to take Zhang Rongfang in a different direction and rushed to other places.
Rixing Town near Tanyang is a prosperous town also close to the city.
Wait until you reach the town.
In a spacious manor, Zhang Rongfang once again met the Snake King of the Black Ten Sect.
This former Snake King has long lost his previous majesty.
He and several other subordinates of the Black Cross were surrounded in the middle of the square of the manor.
Her long hair was spread out and her body was covered in blood.
"Come on! You crazy people!?"
Snake King Xue Jinghao roared angrily.
He was panting, and more than a dozen gray dead soldiers wearing armor had fallen on the ground around him.
There are also many crossbows and arrows scattered around. Apparently there are many crossbowmen and archers nearby, aiming here at any time.
Among the people who besieged the Snake King, there were also two commanders dressed as dead soldiers.
The two stood side by side, one holding a metal longbow in his hand. He was aiming towards the field.
The arrival of the goddess Tongzhang and Zhang Rongfang immediately caused them to stop quickly and turn around to look this way.
There was a crash.
Taking advantage of this distraction, Snake King Xue Jinghao rushed to the left and threw a black ball out of his hand.
The black ball exploded, and a lot of black smoke filled the place, covering his figure.
Using the black smoke, he rushed towards the encirclement on the right, trying to break through the circle of dead soldiers and escape from here.
Boom!
At this moment, the sound of loosening a bowstring suddenly came from all around.
A black cloud of arrows, like locusts, drew a tiny parabola, covering a few tens of meters around the Snake King.
The Snake King hurriedly swung his sword and chopped off the arrows that were flying away.
But after one round of arrows, another round came.
He was forced to stop and kept fending off the flying arrows.
Bang!
There was a gunshot.
Amidst the rain of arrows, there was a dull gunshot explosion.
The speed of bullets is faster than that of arrows, and they scatter like raindrops.
The Snake King blocked it several times, and blood spattered all over his body.
The other masters of the Black Ten Sect beside him finally couldn't hold on any longer and were knocked to the ground one by one.
Three rounds of arrow rain passed, and two rounds of firearms were fired.
When everything stops again.
Snake King Xue Jinghao was finally covered in blood and was half-kneeling on the ground from exhaustion, his hair disheveled and unnatural.
At this time, his outer robe was torn, revealing the black inner armor he was wearing.
If it weren't for that inner armor, he might have ended long ago.
laugh!
The scimitar in his hand stabbed into the ground.
"Fight me fairly if you can!" He roared angrily, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
But his eyes were fixed on the approaching goddess Tongzhang and Zhang Rongfang.
Seeing the mask on Zhang Rongfang, he finally understood something.
"Golden Wings Tower...!!!"
The goddess Tongzhang turned her head slightly and looked at Zhang Rongfang.
"Are you going to take revenge?"
Snake King Xue Jinghao injured Zhang Rongfang's hand at the beginning, and it still hasn't healed yet.
Now is the time for revenge.
Zhang Rongfang looked at the Snake King in the field and was silent for a moment.
"This is a super-level master. I can't defeat him, so let's forget it."
Since you can just crush him to death, why take the risk yourself?
This is his idea.
"It doesn't matter." Tiannu Tongzhang said softly. "Sooner or later, we have to contact you. Now go and give it a try."
Sooner or later? This is a super master!
The content of her words immediately moved Zhang Rongfang's heart.
He looked at the exhausted and injured Snake King again, and immediately walked forward.
He didn't stop until he was only a few meters away from the Snake King.
"I can't use my right wrist very well, and you are also injured now, so we are even. This is a fair fight."
He vaguely guessed that this might be a test for him by the goddess of heaven.
If you win... you may get a lot of things!
The Snake King stared at him and already recalled who this person was.
"It's my fault that I didn't kill you completely before!" He propped up his body and felt that his internal organs were on fire.
This body has suffered a lot of internal injuries. Naturally, its strength has also been greatly damaged.
But it doesn't matter. The person in front of me seems to have a high status. As long as he is captured, he will have a chance... he will have a chance...
"Today, let me make up for this mistake!!"
Bang!
He stepped on it and the ground cracked.
The light of the knife in his hand was like a black snake, with the tip of the knife first, it stabbed Zhang Rongfang in a curve.
The speed of this shot seems to be explosive, but in fact it is only about eight levels of speed.
The tip of the knife was pitch black, with traces of blood still remaining, and it crossed half the distance between the two people in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Rongfang also had a serious look on his face. He clenched the dagger in his hand, raised his eagle claws, and moved forward to attack.
"Secret Bell!!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, his ears were suddenly shaken by the fierce roar of the other party.
Halfway through the rush, the Snake King suddenly swelled up and his muscles bulged.
The blood in his eyes suddenly became thicker, and the black knife in his hand increased rapidly.
