On the river beach, Huang Yuzhen stared solemnly at the person opposite him.
Fine beads of sweat slid down the sides of his pale cheeks, and he did not dare to move. The poison and the severely injured thigh made it impossible for him to escape.
Now that he is in the limit state, he can still persist. Once the limit state lasts for a while, he will have no choice but to let the mercenary eat his flesh.
"You... didn't take action right away. What do you want from me?"
Zhang Rongfang smiled.
"If I want credit, wouldn't it be worth the loss to kill you here? Then don't worry about the forces behind Ouyang Jianrong. I can't withstand it alone. So..."
His original intention was to let both Huang Yuzhen and Ouyang suffer, and then he would come out to take advantage and make contributions.
But then I thought about it, this contribution is so great, I may not be able to bear it.
If someone suspects him of being investigated, his identity and strength may not be able to be concealed.
so....
He needs a more prudent approach.
"You want a knife too?" Huang Yuzhen frowned.
"Of course. Actually, I'm more interested in why you value this knife so much."
Zhang Rongfang was also a little curious about this matter.
You know, he is now the White Eagle of Tan Yang in the Golden Wing Tower. With his authority, he is not even qualified to apply for relevant information.
If you can get this information from other channels, you can get huge profits just by using the information to trade.
For an organization like Golden Wing Tower, information is money and profit.
"Since you don't know, then don't go into troubled waters." Huang Yuzhen said calmly.
"Haha... Since you're already like this, you might as well give me the knife, and then I'll let you go. Wouldn't everyone be happy in this way?
I get the credit, and you can leave here alive." Zhang Rongfang had a smile on his face, but he was a little impatient in his heart.
This place is not far from the previous Baiyin Valley, which is more than ten miles away. If you are determined, there will still be people who can catch up.
"I..." Huang Yuzhen smiled and wanted to speak, but suddenly stopped.
His expression changed slightly and he looked to the left.
A little girl was walking slowly over there.
When a girl is thirteen or fourteen years old, she can already get married and have children in many places.
But here, she looked delicate and slender, holding a long knife wrapped in cloth in her hand, approaching tremblingly towards this side.
"We'll give you the knife! Don't hurt Uncle Zhen again!" the girl shouted loudly towards Zhang Rongfang. Her eyes fell on Huang Yuzhen's thigh that was pierced by the knife, her eyes turned red, and tears suddenly poured out uncontrollably.
"Jingying... why are you back again!?" Huang Yu's face turned ugly. He had asked Jingying to leave first. But...
Zhang Rongfang glanced at the girl.
"Come, put down the knife and put it on the ground. Then you can leave."
He weighed it in his mind and realized that if he really captured Huang Yuzhen, it would be too eye-catching.
Originally, his best way was to let Ouyang get merit with him, but unfortunately Ouyang was too ignorant.
So I had to get rid of him.
But without Ouyang at the front, the credit was so great that even a small captain like him couldn't bear it.
Therefore, the only way is to reduce the credit and let it reach a level that you can bear.
Huang Yu really doesn’t need to be killed, maybe he still has some hidden cards. This reduces the credit and also reduces the risk.
It is most appropriate to just get the knife and then hand it over.
At that time, it will be said that Mr. Ouyang fought desperately to grab the knife, fought off the fugitive, and was then caught up and rescued by him.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ouyang was seriously injured and died.
He, Zhang Rongfang, could only take the knife and quickly return to hand it over.
In this way, the superiors above him will share the credit layer by layer, so that he will not stand out too much.
At this time, Huang Yuzhen, who was opposite, obviously didn't know the twists and turns here, but he saw Zhang Rongfang's undisguised threatening look on Jingying.
Finally he sighed.
"Miss, do as he says."
Compared with the knife, Jingying's life is more important after all.
He didn't dare to bet on whether Zhang Rongfang would make a sudden move. After all, this man had just killed his colleagues and superiors just to grab credit without saying a word.
His level of cruelty and ruthlessness is not inferior to that of his previous enemies.
Therefore, he did not dare to gamble.
Jingying bit her lip, slowly moved forward, and gently placed the knife in her hand on the ground.
Then step back.
"Can you tell me what secret this knife hides?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly asked.
Jingying paused and raised her head.
"If you find out, you may attract the Lingting to pursue you. Just like us, do you still want to know?"
silence.
For a moment, the three of them were silent.
Half a minute later, there was a faint sound of shouting approaching from behind.
"Excuse me, you two." Zhang Rongfang then stretched out his hand to indicate that they could leave.
Huang Yuzhen moved to Jingying's side, took a deep look at him, picked up the girl, stepped back more than ten steps, and suddenly sped away.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Rongfang never asked him about Zhuyue Knife.
The two left quickly, and after they were several miles away, Huang Yuzhen's face turned red.
puff.
A mouthful of blood poured out of his mouth, staining his chest and clothes red.
The outlines of the muscles on his body have also shrunk, returning to what they were before their extreme state.
"Uncle Zhen!!" Jingying hugged him with tears in her eyes, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay...it's just that my legs need to be recuperated for a while..." Huang Yuzhen sighed.
There is such a big commotion here, and the person who responded still has no news. Now it seems that it is probably more serious than the worst...
He was also at a loss as to how he should take the next road.
"It seems that we have to find a place to recover from our injuries first."

On the river beach on the other side.
Zhang Rongfang quickly stepped forward and picked up the long knife.
Gently unfold the cloth bag, revealing a green blade.
The blade of this knife seems to be coated with colored material, and the edge reflects colored light. There is no tangent underneath, and the handle is as long as a forearm, so it can obviously be held with both hands.
There is also a black thin tassel hanging from the end. I don’t know what the material of the thin tassel is, it looks like human hair...
Zhang Rongfang held the handle of the knife and was about to turn around and go to Ouyang Jianrong.
Suddenly his feet stopped.
The attribute bar, which had never responded to foreign objects before, actually opened automatically at this moment.
And the target turned out to be this Moon Chasing Knife!
Zhang Rongfang's pupils shrank and he stopped where he was.
in his field of vision.
At this time, Zhuyue Dao had revealed lines of information.
‘The Zhuyue Knife is 171cm long, 18cm wide and 3-7cm thick. It weighs 12.7kg and the material is unknown.’
'Intuition warning: There seems to be a mechanism hidden in the handle of the knife...perhaps it can be opened by turning it clockwise three and a half times, and then turning it counterclockwise.'
"Huh??! What is this!?" Zhang Rongfang's heart sank.
He always thought that his attribute abilities could only be displayed on people, but now he can actually react to this knife...
This surprised him, but also made him curious.
Before the voice behind him came close, he quickly tried to follow the prompts, holding the handle of the knife and turning it.
Soon, there was a soft click and the handle of the knife fell out.
It was hollow inside, and a small copper-colored metal part fell out.
Zhang Rongfang quickly picked up the part and took a look at it.
This is a bronze-colored arm on an unknown metal statue. It is densely covered with a large number of cracks.
It seems that this arm is made up of many small parts.
At this time, the property bar reacts again.
When Zhang Rongfang looked at this thing, a new prompt popped up.
‘A strange mysterious component, judging from the fit of the gaps, requires five similar parts to be assembled.
After collecting five pieces, there may be new hints...’
Zhang Rongfang did not hesitate, quickly put the parts back and reinstalled the handle.
This thing involves so much, even Huang Yuzhen, a ninth-grade master, was chased all the way to this miserable situation.
He felt that it was better for him to hand it over honestly.
As for the changes in the attribute bar in this regard, you will naturally be able to get more information when you stand higher.
Zhang Rongfang knows one thing very well.
Many things, when the ability is insufficient, the more you know, the more dangerous you are.
At this time, the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer. Zhang Rongfang sighed softly and hit his chest hard.
puff.
He bit his tongue, squeezed out some blood, and then changed his expression to one of hardship, exhaustion and pain appropriate to the occasion. He turned around to face the approaching person.

13th.
The death of Ouyang Jianrong unexpectedly did not cause much turmoil.
After Zhang Rongfang returned to the city and handed over the Moon-Chasing Knife to the prison warden Li Ran, no relevant news was heard again.
Although Ouyang Jianrong died, he still tried his best to regain the knife.
Zhang Rongfang and others fought desperately to save the Moon Chaser Sword from being snatched back.
This record was quickly sent up.
Credit is given layer by layer.
Regarding the incident of Zhuyue Dao, there was gradually no news.
hiss...
"Be gentle!" Chen Hansheng was sitting in the small building of Team 9, asking Liu Han to help him put medicine on his back.
While doing this, he was grimacing in pain.
Zhang Rongfang was holding a copy of the latest official document and looking at it carefully.
Hearing the cry, he shook his head slightly and glanced at the two of them.
"A little injury can hurt like you. Don't tell me you're from Team 9 when you go out."
"Hey, Captain Zhang, what you said doesn't sound right to me. I, Old Chen, was worried about the safety of your Captain Zhang, so I was the first to rush forward." Chen Hansheng cried out.
Since that day, the two of them risked their lives and were the first to rush to support Zhang Rongfang. From then on, these two people became Zhang's confidants by default.
Most of the remaining members of the nine teams also avoided death because of Zhang Rongfang's advice at that time, and they were very grateful in their hearts.
Team Nine's support for Zhang Rongfang is now much higher than before.
No longer as perfunctory and distant as before.
"By the way, boss, how many times did the above count for you this time?" Chen Hansheng asked with a curious smile.
"It's a great achievement." Zhang Rongfang replied with a smile.
One major gong can be counted as five minor gongs, and for ordinary team members, three minor gongs can move up one level to the lowest official status.
"That's really cool!!" Chen Hansheng and Liu Han both looked envious.
"Actually, it's nothing." Zhang Rongfang shook his head, "One big merit, replaced by five small merits, is just enough for me to secure this position, with a little more. If I still want to move up, even if I have enough credit, my qualifications
There’s still a lot left to be desired.”
He sighed: "So, after a while, I plan to apply to return to the Taoist Palace to take up a position after I recover from my injuries."
"Your Excellency, do you want to be promoted through a curve?" Liu Han thought for a moment and suddenly understood.
"You have a clear mind." Zhang Rongfang smiled.
"Actually, there are many people who do this." Liu Han smiled implicitly, "For example, many adults from Dayang Temple in Tianxuan Palace have done this."
She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a heartbreaking cry coming from outside the building.
