Night fell.
Black Bamboo Manor.
The entire manor was quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the day. Only the occasional patrol of the guards could be heard.
When they passed by Chu Xiao's residence, these guards subconsciously lowered their footsteps. No one dared to speak for fear of disturbing Chu Xiao's rest.
However, Chu Xiao did not rest at this time, nor did he cultivate. Instead, he sat in the study room, holding a wolf brush and drawing on the white paper in front of him.
After cultivating for a long time, he also needed some other things to adjust his mood. Only then could he ensure that his state of mind was calm and not go berserk at important passes.
It was the same for drinking tea and listening to the zither, and it was also the same for painting.
What Chu Xiao drew was a landscape, using the mountain peaks near the Black Bamboo Manor as a reference.
Although Chu Xiao was not proficient in painting, with his current strength, his control over his body was extremely strong. He easily transferred the image in his mind to the white paper.
In this way, there was a form.
However, other than the shape, Chinese painting also paid attention to the artistic conception.
The artistic conception of ordinary landscape paintings was mostly ethereal, but Chu Xiao was different. Due to his major cultivation of the Five Poison Divine Art, the artistic conception added to the painting was also inclined to insidious.
As a result, the entire painting did not look like the landscape of the human world, but more like the scene of the underworld.
After finishing the last stroke, Chu Xiao put down the brush and looked at the painting. He nodded slightly and was very satisfied.
Chu Xiao blew the ink dry and put away the painting. He then looked in the direction of the door and said indifferently,""Ye Zhanqing, you've been standing here for so long.”
Chu Xiao's senses were extremely sharp. When he was painting, he had heard footsteps and breathing. Based on these, he determined that the person outside the door was Ye Zhanqing.
As soon as he said that, the door was pushed open.
A woman walked in from outside the door. She had a pretty face and a charming expression. She was wearing a thin gauze dress that could not hide her beauty.
Ye Zhanqing was the only one who was so bold and explicit.
"As expected of Gang Leader. I didn't even say anything and you already knew it was me.”Ye Zhanqing smiled and walked towards Chu Xiao.
"It's so late. What are you doing here?”Chu Xiao asked.
Ye Zhanqing laughed." Leader, you're a man, and you don't have a woman to serve you. It must be inconvenient for you."”
As he spoke, Ye Zhanqing took off his muslin clothes and was honest with her. His tone also changed quickly and made a seductive gesture." Master, do you need me to warm your bed?"”
Chu Xiao was in his early twenties, and he was full of physical strength. He did not major in Buddhist cultivation techniques. When he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him, his dantian suddenly became angry.
Chu Xiao wasn't a gentleman, so he didn't have the thought of retreating at the last minute. He said directly,""Go and wash your body and stay here tonight.”
Ye Zhanqing's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement when she heard this. She had thought about it for a long time to climb up Chu Xiao.
Ye Zhanqing worshiped the strong. Chu Xiao was a Grandmaster at such a young age, and he was the leader of the Black Rock Group. This was Ye Zhanqing's dream.
She immediately put on her gauze clothes and said,
"Zhanqing will go and bathe now. Master, please wait for a moment.”
As she spoke, she laughed and left the room.
Chu Xiao sat down by the bed and waited patiently.
Ye Zhanqing was quite bold. Even in front of him, he would always speak presumptuously. Therefore, he made up his mind to show him what a thunderous method was.
……
Unity Bank.
In the accounting room.
As usual, Fatty Chen was dealing with the account books here, recording the information gathered from all over the world.
Occasionally, when he stopped writing, Fatty Chen would tease the bird beside him.
The little bird chirped and jumped around in the cage, appearing quite agile.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a flying stone broke through the window and smashed into the birdcage.
The birdcage made of Phoebe zhennan wood was extremely valuable, but it could not provide any protection. It was smashed with a crash.
The little bird inside was not spared either. It was hit by the flying stone head-on and exploded into a ball without even letting out a cry. Blood, flesh, and feathers splattered everywhere.
"My bird!" When Fatty Chen saw this scene, his eyes instantly widened, and his voice was filled with pain.
Fatty Chen had raised this little bird for many years and had long treated it as a family member. Now that it had died in front of his eyes, how could he accept it?
He immediately pulled out his sword.
"Which damn thief killed my bird?”Fatty Chen was no longer as gentle as before. The anger in his chest made his eyes turn red.
"It's just a bird. Boss Chen, you don't have to be so angry.”As the footsteps approached, an ordinary-looking man slowly walked into the accountant's office.
This person had the face of a passer-by and was dressed in coarse linen clothes. The only thing that attracted attention was that he held two swords in his hands, one long and one short, one black and one white.
"Stagger Sword?" Fatty Chen's pupils constricted when he saw the two swords.
Although he did not participate in the night of Zhang Haiduan's extermination, he had read the information and knew that the stagger sword was Zhang Renfeng's sword.
"Why is the stagger sword in your hand? Who are you?”Fatty Chen shouted.
"When you go to hell, I'll burn it for you.”The man waved the two swords in his hands and stabbed at Fatty Chen.
In fact, if Li Guishou was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Zhang Renfeng, who he had disguised himself with. Now, he was using the alias Jiang Asheng.
Fatty Chen naturally didn't know about this. He only thought that it was an expert who had picked up the uneven sword.
Fatty Chen swung his sword to block the incoming sword.
All these years, he had retreated behind the scenes, but he did not stop cultivating. His swordsmanship had not deteriorated in the slightest.
Fatty Chen was confident that even if he couldn't take down this person, he could stall him until his subordinates came to help.
Clang!
The two swords collided and sparks flew.
Just as Fatty Chen was about to change his move and attack Jiang Asheng, he saw that the latter had already made a move.
Jiang Asheng shot forward and almost crashed into Fatty Chen's arms.
At this distance, the long blade of the longsword was not effective.
Jiang Asheng was using a staggered sword. Even if a long sword wasn't enough, he still had a short sword in his hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The black short sword was brandished repeatedly, and the sound of air being torn apart was incessant.
Fatty Chen swayed his short and fat body, trying his best to dodge. At the same time, he wanted to pull away so that it would be easier for him to swing his sword.
However, Jiang Asheng wouldn't give him a chance. Moreover, at such a close distance, it would be extremely difficult for Fatty Chen to dodge the attack.
After a few moves, Fatty Chen was caught off guard and was stabbed in the abdomen.
"Looks like Boss Chen has to go down and accompany your bird.”Jiang Asheng smiled innocently.
As he spoke, Jiang Asheng turned the hilt of his sword to enlarge the wound.
Once the wound on the lower abdomen was torn, it would easily cause massive bleeding. If he did not receive treatment, he would soon die of blood loss.
At this critical moment, Fatty Chen suddenly threw away the sword in his hand.
"Why? Have you given up struggling?" Jiang Asheng laughed.
However, in the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Bang!"
As the two of them were very close to each other, Chen Yu's big hand slapped Jiang Asheng's chest effortlessly.
This palm was the Heart-Shattering Palm that Chu Xiao had given to Fatty Chen and the others.
Fatty Chen had cultivated for a period of time, and now that he had used it, he immediately succeeded.
Jiang Asheng was forced back a few steps. The aura in his body was chaotic, and his face turned pale. He was slightly injured.
Unfortunately, that was all.
Fatty Chen's palm strike was successful because the two of them were close to each other. However, because the distance was too close, there was no way to accumulate power, so he could only rush out.
Otherwise, Jiang Asheng wouldn't have suffered light injuries. He would have at least spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I didn't expect Boss Chen to have such a hidden trick.”Jiang Asheng took a deep breath and adjusted the aura in his body. Then, he grabbed his sword and was about to kill Feiyou Chen.
"Hurry up! There's an assassin! Go to the accountant's room!"
At this moment, a large number of footsteps suddenly came from outside the accountant's room. Then, a large group of assassins in black rushed over. Everyone held a long sword and their eyes were fierce.
Seeing this, Jiang Asheng sighed in his heart. He knew that he wouldn't be able to kill Fatty Chen today, so he jumped out of the accountant's room and used his lightness skill to jump onto the roof. After a few leaps, he disappeared without a trace.
"Stop chasing! You are no match for him." Fatty Chen stopped the killer who wanted to chase after him and ordered,""Hurry up and get Divine Doctor Li Ghosthand. I'm injured.”
"Yes, my lord!"
The killer accepted the order and left.
Fatty Chen held his abdomen with one hand and sighed that he had finally gotten his life back. At the same time, he felt lucky. If Chu Xiao had not increased the number of assassins in the Tong He Bank, he would have been killed.
……
Fatty Chen asked Li Guishou to help him bandage his wound. Then, without much rest, he took a carriage to the Black Bamboo Manor and reported the situation to Chu Xiao.
"Chief, that person looks unfamiliar, but his martial arts are very high. I'm not his match. In addition, he was using Zhang Renfeng's Staggered Sword. He didn't know what relationship he had with the Zhang family.”
Fatty Chen saw Chu Xiao and reported the situation in detail.
After hearing this, Chu Xiao frowned slightly and had a guess in his heart.
"Ding!"
At this moment, the mechanical sound of the system rang in Chu Xiao's mind.
"The system has issued a random mission: Kill Jiang Asheng.”
" Reward for completing the mission: 10 Gold Silk Armors.”
Seeing the content of the system mission, Chu Xiao knew who had assassinated Fatty Chen.
Chu Xiao glanced at Fatty Chen's injuries and said to him,""I already know the situation. Fatty Chen, you are injured and don't need to participate in the next operation. Go to Li Guishou and recuperate.”
"Yes, sir." Fatty Chen also knew that he couldn't help in this way. He cupped his hands and left.
Chu Xiao called in a guard and ordered,""Go and call Lei Bin over.”
"Yes, Gang Leader!"
The guard received the order and sent out two Thousand Mile Flames towards the sky.
In less than two hours, Cai Xi Shi and Lei Bin arrived at the Black Bamboo Manor.
In the meeting hall.
Chu Xiao sat at the head of the table.
Ye Zhanqing was sitting on the left, and Lei Bincai was sitting on the right.
"Faction Leader, I heard that Fatty Chen was assassinated and almost lost his life?”Cai Xi Shi asked.
Chu Xiao nodded and said," I called you here for this matter. Someone is tired of living. He actually dared to assassinate a member of Black Rock. Then, we'll fulfill his wish."”
"The assassin has been identified?" Lei Bin asked.
An ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of Chu Xiao's mouth as he slowly said,"" That's our old friend."
"Old friend?" Lei Bin was even more confused. He didn't know who Chu Xiao was referring to." Please enlighten me, Sect Leader."”
Chu Xiao no longer kept him in suspense. He said," The person who assassinated Fatty Chen was none other than the son of Censor Zhang Haiduan, Zhang Renfeng.”
