Xuanxia

Chapter 776: Tipping Point

Time goes back to a quarter of an hour ago.

The Xuanmeng headquarters is quite quiet today.

After a grand banquet last night, most of the people here were resting today. Only the disciples of Xuanmeng who were originally here were cleaning up the mess left behind last night.

"so good."

The male disciple who was sweeping the floor said with a smile: "Young Master Fu has invited so many martial arts masters. This time, our Xuanmeng can really become famous throughout the world as our senior brother wished."

"Ugh……"

Next to him, another female disciple who was sweeping the floor sighed, "But I don't know where the senior brother has gone."

"Yes, I heard... he was captured." The smile on the male disciple's face also faded: "I wonder if Master Fu can help rescue him?"

They were halfway through their conversation when they suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of their eyes of a secret envoy from Mingjian Pavilion striding past with a knife in his hand and glancing in their direction.

"grown ups."

The two disciples subconsciously stood up straight.

The secret envoys are Fu Qingzhou's subordinates and younger brothers, but in the martial arts world, they are all good fighters. The weakest among them has reached the sixth level of martial arts, and each of them is still relatively young. In addition, they have special powers, so no one can help but feel awe when looking at them.

"Ah."

The emissary nodded to them, but then seemed to have thought of something, stopped and asked, "Have you seen Master Fu?"

"Oh, Master Fu...Master Fu has gone to sleep."

The male disciple immediately responded, "I saw him coming back with his friend. He said he was too tired and wanted to take a nap."

"Your Excellency is so busy, it's unavoidable." The secret envoy showed a hint of admiration in his eyes, and asked, "Where were those Jianghu seniors last night?"

"Same."

The female disciple smiled and said, "They drank until dawn, so they should be resting today... and there are also many seniors who are not in Xuanmeng. They should be out for something?"

"Okay, got it."

The secret envoy did not need to explain to them why he was asking these questions. He just nodded again and left quickly.

However, the moment he turned around, his expression quickly turned cold and his eyes became ferocious.

It seems that everything is almost ready... today, right now!

His name was Nie Guangsheng - indeed, he was a talented person who had passed the imperial examination to be admitted to the Palm Sword Academy when he was young, and was subsequently selected to be the secret envoy of the Mingjian Pavilion.

But before becoming a secret envoy, he was first and foremost a child of an aristocratic family.

For most of the time, he was a secret envoy who worked hard and efficiently. He had made some contributions and handled some cases. His position in the cabinet was neither high nor low. His future was not promising, but it was not bad either.

But at certain special times, he... has another master.

A master who has controlled him since he was a child, given him a second life, gave him a family, and also controlled his wife and children.

This time he came to Luoyi, he had a very important mission.

Nie Guangsheng strode through the main hall of the Xuanmeng, walked through the corridors and passed through small courtyards. There were many secret envoys guarding them, but of course they would not guard against his colleague with a familiar face. Soon, he came to a courtyard in the deepest part of the manor.

At the gate of the courtyard, there were two other secret envoys guarding.

Seeing him coming, the two of them cast their eyes over: "Old Nie?"

"excuse me."

Nie Guangsheng smiled and said, "Master Fu has ordered Qingjiangzi to be transferred to the trial."

The two secret envoys looked at each other, and one of them asked, "An order?"

"There's a warrant."

Nie Guangsheng responded with a smile, reaching his hand into his sleeve and walking towards the two secret envoys.

But when he walked in front of the two and took his hand out from his sleeve, he actually held a short sharp knife! Clang!
The sword suddenly appeared!
The secret envoy in front of Nie Guangsheng was completely unprepared. He was still joking in the previous second, and in the next second, his colleague who depended on his life and death actually pulled out a knife!

The knife flashed across his neck in an instant, blood spurted out, and the secret envoy's pupils dilated and expanded. He had no time to let out a scream, so he could only cover his throat tightly, blood foam gushed out from between his fingers, and he fell weakly to the ground.

At the same time, Nie Guangsheng had already drawn the long sword from his waist, and with a short sharp sword in one hand and a long sword in the other, he slashed at the other secret envoy!
The secret envoy had sensed something was wrong when he drew his knife, and he drew his own as well.

But after all, it was unintentional. After just one encounter, he was immediately at a disadvantage.

Nie Guangsheng moved with the intention of killing, but the secret envoy was still full of doubt. Naturally, the sword moves of the two were incomparable.

In the first round of the fight, the envoy's wrist was shaken by the huge force from the opponent!

In the third round of the fight, the dagger found a gap in his chest and hit him hard with a "whoosh".

In the seventh round of the fight, Nie Guangsheng pulled out the short knife and stabbed it into his lower abdomen again, then he raised the long knife and slashed it across his neck.

"call……"

Seeing his second colleague fall to the ground, a look of pity flashed across Nie Guangsheng's face.

But he quickly calmed down.

If I didn't do this, my wife and children would be the ones who died.

After taking a deep breath, Nie Guangsheng stepped over the two corpses and walked into the yard.

Qingjiangzi was imprisoned here.

Fu Qingzhou once secretly instructed that there might be enemy spies among the martial arts people who came to Xuanmeng this time, and they might come to kill Qingjiangzi to silence him, so the secret envoys had to be on their guard.

But now, more than half a month had passed and no one had come looking for him, and other places were also needing people, so the supervision of Qingjiangzi was slightly relaxed.

At this time, Fu Qingzhou was sleeping again, and all the martial arts seniors in the Xuanmeng headquarters were resting. It was the best time!

Nie Guangsheng entered the yard. There was only a small house in the yard. He pushed the door open and saw Qingjiangzi huddled in the corner at first sight.

The wounds on his body from the torture he had suffered previously had mostly healed, but he looked as if he had aged more than twenty years. Even his hair had turned grey, his face had many more wrinkles, and he looked half-dead.

Fu Qingzhou said that although he would be sent to the northern border as a soldier later, he would still be used as bait to lure out the traitor during this period. Therefore, in order to control him, Elder Yu of Wandu Mountain had been feeding him drugs to keep Qingjiangzi in a state of "alive, but just alive".

Seeing Nie Guangsheng coming, Qingjiangzi raised his eyelids, his pupils were cloudy and confused.

Nie Guangsheng gritted his teeth and strode forward.

He grabbed Qingjiangzi's chin and opened his mouth.

Qingjiangzi had a look of confusion and pain on his face, and made a hoarse sound from his throat, but he was completely unable to struggle.

Nie Guangsheng took out a pill from his arms and said fiercely: "Qingjiangzi, eat it, kill as many people as you can, and don't forget to kill me!"

"Kill me so my family can be safe!"

"Don't blame me. You're better off dead than alive!"

After saying that, he slapped the pill into Qingjiangzi's mouth.

The pill melts in the mouth and the medicinal power instantly travels throughout the body.

In a flash, Qingjiangzi's pupils turned into two blood-red balls, and the blood vessels under his skin began to bulge. Countless black air flowed through them, making his old skin smooth, and his gray hair and beard become oily black. A powerful aura burst out from him!

"Ahhhhh! Die!"

He lost his mind and let out a violent roar. Two strange horns even grew on his forehead, as if he was transforming into a demon.

The next moment, Qingjiangzi saw Nie Guangsheng.

Nie Guangsheng smiled with relief and took the initiative to hand over the long knife in his hand.

"Hahahaha, die!"

Qingjiangzi laughed wildly, snatched the long sword, and swung it heavily in front of him!
The violent and domineering power burst out, and Nie Guangsheng couldn't even utter a muffled groan before he was blasted into powder and bloody mist in an instant!
But the force was not limited to this. It continued to expand, scattering in all directions, and blew the entire cabin to pieces!
