Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 192 Decapitation Plan, Revenge Action

Zuo Lengchan is a ruthless person!

Don’t think that Xuanyuan Sanguan likes to gamble. Once he sits at the gambling table, he won’t get off until he loses everything. So he is a bad gambler with poor gambling skills.

In fact, it is just the opposite. Xuanyuan Sanguang is quite smart. Although his gambling skills are not as good as those of the legendary gambling masters like 'Xuanyuan with Broken Finger', they are far better than those of ordinary people.

The reason why he always loses everything when he leaves the table is just a matter of probability.

After all, if he wins, he will never leave the table. He will only leave when he loses everything.

Naturally, every time I leave the table, I lose everything.

It's not like you can win easily against such a person.

From the three broken fingers of Zuo Lengchan, we can also see the price he paid.

Even with Fang Zheng's calm state of mind, he was shocked at this moment.

"Left...Left Alliance Leader, great justice! May I ask where the map is?"

"Here I am."

Zuo Lengchan took out a bloody map from his arms and spread it out on the table.

The ink on the map was very fresh, obviously drawn last night, but the map showed very clear information about the terrain of Blackwood Cliff, the defense of the troops in various places, and the patrol routes.

Zuo Lengchan said, "Now that Du Sha is dead, Ren Woxing and the Ten Evils are stationed in the enemy camp. Only that Westerner is left on Blackwood Cliff. I also got the enemy's terrain and defense map. Everything is ready, except for the east wind!
Master, Taoist Priest, and Lady Liu, can you carry out the decapitation operation?!"

"Amitabha!"

Fang Zheng's eyes flickered over Zuo Lengchan's hands with severed fingers, and he said, "This plan... might work!"

The decapitation plan required a small but powerful elite force, and also to prevent the spy from obtaining intelligence, the four did not gather too many people this time, but only gathered a few masters.

There are nine grandmasters in the alliance, but the grandmaster of the Holy Hand Sect is now dead, and the grandmaster of the Pegasus Gang is still lying in the wounded camp with burns all over his body.

Therefore, apart from Fang Zheng, Chongxu, and Liu Yuru, the only ones summoned were Li Xunhuan, Lu Xiaofeng, Master Ji of Yueying Sect, and Yi Jue of Qijue Hall.

Plus the alliance leader Zuo Lengchan.

After the eight people gathered, Zuo Lengchan explained his plan in detail.

According to past practice, when Fang Zheng and the other three made a decision in a small meeting, the subsequent large meeting was more like a pure notification.

But this time something unexpected happened.

Master Ji suddenly said, "Leader Zuo, I'm not doubting you, but... can you trust the information Xuanyuan Sanguang gave you?"

Fang Zheng said, "Master Ji, don't worry. Xuanyuan Sanguang's gambling habits are well known to everyone. If he loses a bet, he will never cheat."

Master Ji said, "That being said, it's just rumors. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Believing Xuanyuan Sanguang's information is true simply because of rumors, and risking our lives on it, is probably too risky."

In this world, only the Grand Master truly possesses the ability to charge and kill at will among thousands of troops.

Others, even the top masters, can be surrounded and killed by elite troops.

Of course, the premise is that the other party never leaves. If he is determined to escape, that is another matter.

And all of them are masters of the flower.

If they were surrounded by the two thousand men on Blackwood Cliff and shot at by thousands of arrows, there would surely be heavy casualties.

Zuo Lengchan raised his hands and showed his three broken fingers to Master Ji, saying, "Master Ji, do you mean to abandon this plan and let these three fingers of mine be broken in vain?"

To some extent, Master Ji's doubts also represent the shaking of the prestige of the alliance leader Zuo Lengchan and Fang Zheng and the other two.

You know, the last time they proposed a plan, the Holy Hand Sect and the Pegasus Gang had no objections at all and just carried it out according to the plan.

Now, Master Ji has questioned them.

It was obviously the aftermath of the previous failed operation.

This made Zuo Lengchan feel threatened.

If he gave up the plan of this action today because of the other party's doubts, then tomorrow the other party might directly question his identity as the leader.

This kind of thing must not be allowed!

Therefore, Zuo Lengchan directly used the method of moral kidnapping.

Looking at his three broken fingers, Master Ji said without even stuttering, "Alliance Leader, you misunderstood. I only doubt Xuanyuan Sanguang, not you, Alliance Leader, nor do I oppose this plan."

"You don't believe the information given by Xuanyuan Sanguang, but you want to sneak into Blackwood Cliff and behead him. Haha... Master Ji, is he dreaming?"

Master Ji said, "What I mean is that the eight of us will each hold a map and sneak into Blackwood Cliff from eight different directions. If we find any discrepancies on the map, we will directly send a signal to inform the others to cancel the operation.

But if this map is indeed accurate, then how about agreeing on a gathering place and then carrying out the decapitation operation?
Of course, during this period, you might be discovered by the Sun Moon Sect. But I think that if you are alone, you should not be caught by the Sun Moon Sect."

Zuo Lengchan's heart skipped a beat.

The plan proposed by Master Ji is indeed safer than his plan.

Although they need to gather together first and then attack An Wu, it seems a bit slow.

But since Xuanyuan Sanguan is not trusted, this plan is naturally better.

Moreover, when Master Ji opened his mouth, he directly said that there were eight people.

Obviously, his innate perfection was also taken into account.

But at this time, he couldn't refuse.

"Master Ji is very thoughtful. This plan is indeed more suitable."

Zuo Lengchan said, "In that case, let's proceed according to this plan. After we make a copy of this map, each of us will have a copy. We will enter Blackwood Cliff from different directions. As for the meeting place... how about this place?"

He pointed to a sign for a small building.

This was the former residence of Ren Yingying, the Saint of the Sun and Moon Sect. It was located in the core area of ​​Heimu Cliff, but was relatively remote.

After Ren Woxing returned and became the Left Protector of Light, Ren Yingying also returned to live in this small building.

Although there were people, with their strength, any one of them could easily subdue Ren Yingying.

Besides, given Ren Woxing's current situation, maybe Ren Yingying would cooperate with them.

"What the leader said... is feasible." Master Ji said.

The meaning of his words seemed as if he was the leader of the alliance, and Zuo Lengchan was merely his counselor, who was currently giving him advice.

Zuo Lengchan was secretly angry, but said nothing.

This is all the result of the failure of the previous operation.

But as long as this operation is successful, he will naturally take it all back.

"To prevent intelligence leaks, everyone must be accompanied by a Shaolin monk and a Wudang Taoist priest during any action today until the operation begins tonight. Is there any objection, everyone?"

"No."

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

Eight copies of the map have been completed. Each person takes a map and is divided into two teams. They bypass the Sun and Moon Sect camp in front of the Black Wood Cliff, one to the east and the other to the west, and head towards the back of the Black Wood Cliff respectively.

Everyone also carries a set of signal fireworks. If they find that the defense on the mountain is seriously inconsistent with the map, they must release the signal fireworks and retreat directly.

Gui Hai Yidao has always been silent. When choosing the direction of invasion, he fell behind and chose the farthest location.

Chongxu and Lu Xiaofeng, who were in the same team with him, arrived at the infiltration location one after another, but he and Master Ji continued to move forward.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Master Ji also reached the finish line.

"Master Yi, I wish you good luck tonight."

As Master Ji spoke, he suddenly drew the knife from his waist and slashed at him with a puff of smoke.

Gui Hai Yidao had naturally always been wary of the master of the Yueying Sect, but he had never expected that the other party would take action so suddenly.

What he didn't expect was that Master Ji's sudden knife strike was incredibly fast.

Even with Gui Hai Yi Dao's quick reaction, he could only pull out half of the magic sword to block the lightning-fast blade. But the smoke that followed made him dizzy.

"Oh no, it's poison!"

"Yi Jue, prepare to die!"

Another voice suddenly sounded, and a tremendous hatred accompanied by a fierce palm wind came from the side.

"Qi Zimu?"

"It's me!"

Qi Zimu's face was ferocious, and he poured all his strength into his palms.

The magic sword in Gui Hai Yidao's hand had not been fully unsheathed and was still restrained by Master Ji, so he could only stretch out his hand and slap out.

The moment their palms touched, Gui Hai Yidao felt an incomparably hot force transmitted from the other's palms.

The surging true energy in his body seemed to be melting when faced with this scorching power.

"The Great Method of Transforming Power?"

Gui Hai Yidao instantly thought of this famous evil skill.

This is the unique skill of Ding Chunqiu from the Xingxiu School in Xingxiu Sea, outside the northern border of Song State, but no one knows where Qi Zimu learned it from.

The most notorious thing about this technique is that it can dissolve the internal energy and true qi that a warrior has cultivated throughout his life. It is extremely vicious.

however……

"Your strength is too weak!"

The master-level true energy in Gui Hai Yidao's body surged out, and in an instant, Qi Zimu was counterattacked and sent flying.

Although the Hua Gong Dafa is strange, it is not a heaven-defying secret skill. In the face of a substantial gap in realm, its effect is extremely small.

Besides, Qi Zimu was obviously a beginner and his skills were not very advanced.

Gui Hai easily defeated Qi Zimu with a single blow, and then focused his strength on Master Ji.

Master Ji suddenly felt that the force he was bearing had more than doubled.

It is obvious that the two of them are at the same level, and he is older, but in terms of skill, he is weaker.

"He is indeed a genius!"

Master Ji drew his long sword and hefted it over his shoulder, his expression extremely sinister. "Unfortunately, the kind of people our ancestor loves to kill are geniuses like you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody knife shadow came slashing over.

The blade was sharp and its path was quite strange. The route it took seemed to go against the structure of the human body.

The same posture and sword strokes are difficult for ordinary people to learn and imitate in daily life, let alone use in battle.

Even Gui Hai Yidao had not expected such a strange sword move. Fortunately, the weapon in his hand was not ordinary. With a slight shake, the blade turned into fragments and twisted, easily blocking Master Ji's strange sword light.

"Is this the magic sword? What a weapon!"

A hint of greed flashed in Master Ji's eyes: "If I kill you, this magic sword will be mine!"

Gui Hai Yidao remained silent, only slashing out a sharp and domineering sword light.

Master Ji responded quickly.

At this time, Qi Zimu, who had been knocked out, also recovered and immediately joined the battle.

However, he was only at the Innate Realm, and although he was qualified to participate in the battle, it was almost impossible for him to pose any threat to Gui Hai Yidao.

Gui Hai Yidao's main focus is still on Master Ji.

After all, the two are masters of the same realm.

Moreover, every attack of the bloody sword technique displayed by Master Ji seemed to be very strange, and he could attack from directions that normal people could not even think of or display.

This made Gui Hai Yi Dao completely unpredictable, and he could only watch the opponent perform the move and then respond.

But fortunately, this kind of swordsmanship is not even as powerful as the Overlord Sword, so it is not difficult for him to deal with it.

On one side is a bloody knife shadow.

On one side is a blue-purple blade.

The battle continued in the darkness.

"what happened……"

I don’t know when it started, but Gui Hai Yidao felt that his speed was getting slower and slower, and the magic knife in his hand was getting heavier and heavier.

He swung out a domineering blade, forcing Master Ji to retreat, but then he took several steps back to make some space and buy time to check his body.

However, he discovered that a horrible poison had appeared in his body at some point, and was slowly but steadily affecting his body.

"Poison again! When did you administer it?!"

Although the impact was not significant after being hit by the smoke at the moment the opponent drew his sword, Gui Hai Yidao became very vigilant thereafter.

Unexpectedly, he was poisoned after all.

Master Ji laughed and said, "You finally figured it out? But it wasn't me who poisoned you."

Gui Hai Yidao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qi Zimu.

Qi Zimu panted, gritting his teeth and revealing a smug smile: "Hahaha, Yi Jue, you don't take me seriously at all. I probably didn't expect that you would be poisoned by me, right?"

"When?"

"Haha, you've heard of the Hua Gong Dafa, but don't you know that this is actually a poisonous skill?"

"I see……"

Gui Hai Yidao really didn't know this.

Ding Chunqiu is from the State of Song, and is a master outside the northern border of Song.

It is unknown how difficult it would be for his information to reach the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, any martial arts master will definitely keep the martial arts he practices a secret.

Gui Hai Yidao was able to recognize that Qi Zimu was using the power-transforming technique thanks to the powerful intelligence network of Huolong Villa. He had only overheard it when Shangguan Haitang was sorting out the intelligence.

"Yi Jue, when you killed my parents, I'm afraid you didn't think of this day!"

Qi Zimu slowly drew out the long sword from his waist.

It was a long sword with a very smooth surface, reflecting the light of the bright moon.

"Fighting in the martial arts world is nothing more than that." Gui Hai Yidao naturally would not feel any regret about killing the two elders Qi and Su of Yueying Sect.

Besides, they were the ones who broke into the Qi Jue Hall and wanted to kill him.

"Then why did you chop my parents' bodies into several pieces?!"

Qi Zimu gritted his teeth and said, "You know, when they were buried, their bodies were not intact!"

Gui Hai Yidao suddenly fell silent.

That was the consequence of him using the Three Avici Swords.

"Can't you tell me?"

Qi Zimu stepped closer and said, "Don't worry, after you die, I will chop your body into dozens of pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

The moon-like sword light suddenly lit up.

Then, it froze in mid-air.

A figure appeared between the two of them at some point, and Qi Zimu's knife was already tightly clamped between two fingers.
