Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 98 Change (I)

Gu Jingnian turned around and saw a man standing there with a smile on his face, stroking his long hair with both hands. It was Mei Chengzong.

"Meet Tis."

Gu Jingnian did not panic and continued to perform the ceremony in Yougui's tone.

Mei Chengzong saw this and sneered, "I was wrong and thought you were dead."

"I don't know what the secretary is talking about."

The "Yugui" standing there acted really like Yugui, even making Mei Zongcheng doubt his own judgment for a moment.

But now that things have come to this, even if it is really Yu Gui, there is no way he can stop.

So, Mei Chengzong waved his hand, and the hooks stood out from all directions, holding bows and arrows and aiming at Gu Jingnian. The arrows were so dense that they left him no chance to escape.

"Don't think you can be fearless just because you won't get hurt. These arrows are all poisoned. I use them specifically to deal with you. Oh, you've tasted the poison before."

Gu Jingnian knew that Mei Chengzong was talking about the time when he was shot by an arrow and fell into the fire. He couldn't even withstand the power of an arrow, let alone the trap of today.

So he just stood there obediently, not moving.

Mei Chengzong was slightly pleased with himself and said, "You killed Yuan Bozhen and Chang Jinxian, robbed the Dali Temple, and then killed Lu Yanqing and Gu Jiye. Do you think you are so elusive that I can't do anything to you? You are wrong. I have been monitoring your every move for a long time."

"In that case, why don't you take me down as soon as possible?"

Gu Jingnian finally stopped hiding it.

Mei Chengzong was not polite and asked directly: "I want to know, how did you survive? I clearly saw that you were burned to charcoal."

"What do you think?" Gu Jingnian asked back.

"Maybe, it's because of the phoenix?" Mei Chengzong was willing to talk more about this topic, and asked, "Have you also been reborn like the phoenix?"

“So, I have become a good medicine too?”

Mei Chengzong smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The reason why he had allowed Gu Jingnian to kill people everywhere recently was indeed for this reason, until the commander-in-chief ordered last night to capture Gu Jingnian as soon as possible.

Gu Jingnian was surrounded here and was at the end of his rope. It was only when he saw the subtle changes in Mei Chengzong's expression that he caught a small bargaining chip.

"Since you want to know, why don't you kill me again to see if I am a good medicine."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly pounced on Mei Chengzong.

Arrows shot out from the sky in an instant.

"Puff puff puff puff puff..."

Before Gu Jingnian could rush to Mei Chengzong, he had been shot into a hedgehog.

But the arrows were not poisoned as Mei Chengzong said. In fact, in such a hurry, the hooks did not have time to prepare so many poisoned arrows.

It was just a trick on him.

Gu Jingnian had calculated one thing correctly: it was still daytime, and in front of everyone, Mei Chengzong might not use his ability to control the shadows.

Sure enough, as he approached, Mei Chengzong avoided fighting and retreated quickly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Jingnian suddenly rushed into the crowd, drew his sword and slashed around, actually engaging in close combat with the dozens of people who surrounded him.

When he was first captured by Pei Nian and taken to Kaiping Division, he had already thought of destroying himself and the enemy together, and said something like "kill all of you". Today, he finally had the chance to try it.

The knife slashed at him, cutting through the dense arrow shafts on his body and making him bleed profusely, and each of his knives could seriously injure or kill someone.

In an instant, more than ten people fell in a pool of blood on the ground.

But soon, more hooks surrounded him, bringing with them the weapon that Gu Jingnian feared the most - fire.

"He is a monster, burn him to death!"

The kerosene splashed down and the fire quickly ignited Gu Jingnian's clothes.

He rolled in a pool of blood and put out the fire on his body, and the flames quickly devoured the corpse on the ground.

Mei Chengzong didn't care about setting fire in Kaiping Division. His purpose was not even to burn Gu Jingnian to death, but to see what was going on with this medicinal residue that had come back to life after coming into contact with the phoenix.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a woman dressed as a maid rushed in and shouted at the people who were fighting, "Stop!"

It was Pei Nian who came.

She shouted angrily, but no one paid attention to her, so she raised the token in her hand and shouted, "This is my subordinate, Yu Gui. Why did you kill him without authorization? You even dared to set fire to the government office. What nonsense!"

Mei Chengzong stood in the corridor and said, "That's not Yougui."

"He's Yukyu!"

"I'm the commissioner, I said he's not Yougui!" Mei Chengzong scolded. Seeing Pei Nian was determined to save Gu Jingnian, he put on his authority and said angrily, "Pei Nian, are you trying to commit treason?!"

In the chaos, Hook also shouted loudly: "Ji Shi, this is clearly a monster! Look at him!"

"monster!"

Pei Nian didn't care and said, "Let him go!"

"Get her!"

"..."

Gu Jingnian has gone crazy with killing.

He didn't remember how many people he had killed. The blade of the knife in his hand was bent, so he grabbed a new one and changed three knives in this way. He didn't know how many wounds he had on his body, and there was almost no intact skin.

Sometimes there were no enemies ahead, and he looked around, and in his blurry vision he saw only corpses strewn all over the ground.

He staggered two steps and fell down.

He thought he was going to fall to the ground and have his head chopped off, and die, but someone grabbed him and held down his hand as he tried to raise the knife.

Turning around, I saw it was a woman.

Gu Jingnian was dazed for a moment before he recognized that this was Pei Nian.

He vaguely thought that he must have been in hell to see Pei Nian wearing women's clothes. The people around him were still shouting, and Pei Nian took the knife from his hand and swung it, chopping off the people who surrounded him.

"Let's go..."

Gu Jingnian murmured, his head felt dizzy and he almost fainted.

He tried his best. All along, he was just a piece of dregs, tumbling in the burning medicine furnace. His anger and resistance could only cause a little ripple.

But he did not regret it. Creating some ripples or even breaking a corner of the medicine furnace was enough for him.

At least he was resisting.

He pushed Pei Nian, not wanting to involve her, but Pei Nian refused to let go and was determined to protect him and leave.

"Investigating the matter!"

In front, Lieutenant Zhao Heng rushed over with many people.

Pei Nian shouted, "They killed You Gui for no reason, arrest them all!"

She has always cared about her future, and such an order was extremely bold for her.

Following the order, her subordinates rushed forward without hesitation.

Mei Chengzong has always been unpopular since he was transferred from the North Yamen to the South Yamen. Although he is strong, there are not many people available in the South Yamen.

In addition, he really didn't expect that Gu Jingnian would kill so many people today.

Although the pair of slender hands were still touching his hair gracefully, he actually felt a little embarrassed.

Or, show your true strength? But it was not dark yet, and there were so many people watching... Mei Chengzong looked at the sun in the sky, feeling a little distressed.

The death of so many people only added to the trouble for him who was high and mighty, as to whether he should take action personally.

Because he is really too strong.

"Wait a little longer, until it gets a little darker."

Time passed slowly. The fire collapsed the corridor and spread to the high wall. Pei Nian and his men had already rushed out of the burning yard with Gu Jingnian.

The wounds on Gu Jingnian's body have recovered a lot and he is full of energy again. If he continues to kill like this, there will probably be no end to it.

There were corpses everywhere in Kaipingsi, and it was almost dusk.

There was a loud noise in the distance, and more people came to put out the fire.

Mei Chengzong couldn't hold back any longer and raised his hand.

The dark shadow under the high wall suddenly came to life and strangled everyone's throat at the same time, whether they were Pei Nian's subordinates or Mei Chengzong's subordinates.

"Go to hell."

Mei Chengzong stretched his hand into the air. It seemed that he was struggling to strangle so many people to death at once, and his arms were trembling slightly.

But his eyes were full of arrogance.

"Gu Jingnian, these lives should be counted on you. It's a pity that even after pushing you to this point, I still haven't seen any more changes that Phoenix has brought to you."

Gu Jingnian was also strangled by the black shadow and was unable to speak.

But he could clearly feel that this time, the power of darkness was not as strong as before.

Why? Because it was daytime and before that it was night?
Gu Jingnian recalled the experience of encountering the black shadow before and looked at the raging fire burning on the other side of the high wall.

"Are you afraid?" Mei Chengzong stared at his reaction and said, "If you don't want to die, use all your strength."

"Click."

One person had his neck broken and fell to the ground.

Then, one neck after another was broken, making a crisp sound like breaking bamboo shoots.

Including Zhao Heng, who was as strong as an ox, he lost his life in the end with his head tilted.

The next moment, Pei Nian was lifted up and placed in front of Gu Jingnian.

"I strangled her, what would you do?"

Gu Jingnian saw that Pei Nian's eyes had rolled up and he was about to die, so he stopped trying to pry open the black shadow that was pinching his neck and instead leaped with all his might and ran towards the raging fire.

The fire dispersed the dark shadow, but it also quickly ignited Gu Jingnian.

Gu Jingnian ignored the flames all over his body and ran towards Pei Nian.

He used himself as a torch to disperse the dark shadow that was strangling Pei Nian, and finally, Pei Nian fell to the ground.

"go!"

Gu Jingnian shouted and rushed towards Mei Chengzong.

However, having learned from the previous experience of Chu Danqing, Mei Chengzong was prepared when he saw Gu Jingnian repeating the same old trick.

He couldn't use his shadow to deal with a man on fire, so he simply kicked Gu Jingnian away who was rushing towards him.

With this kick, Gu Jingnian lost the chance to die together with him. His burning body fell to the ground, and soon the fire spread over and swallowed him.

Mei Chengzong also didn't like fire, so he stepped back alone, looking at the burning fire, listening to the footsteps coming from afar, and muttering to himself.

"It seems that Phoenix can only save you once."

"At least I know you can still be burned to death."

Hundreds of lives were sacrificed and the Kaiping government office was destroyed, but it is a bit regrettable to see only this result.

But that's how it is. Refining is a one in a million thing, and people in this field have long been accustomed to it.

Suddenly, Mei Chengzong narrowed his eyes, and the hand that was touching his hair stopped moving. He just stared blankly at the fire, feeling a little surprised, but also feeling that "as expected".

He finally saw the changes that Phoenix brought to Gu Jingnian.

"boom--"

Amidst the flames, a fireball suddenly smashed towards Mei Chengzong!
