C18 Homicide

In the silent night, the troops had gradually retreated. Although Bai Zhanhou was unable to kill Hu Erhu in one move, he could only do so. After all, how could the strong warriors of 'Bai Xiong' be killed so easily? It was even more impossible to reap any rewards while the opponent was fully focused on fleeing for his life.

However, this time, even if he could not kill Hu Erhu, he was still severely injured, and was no longer able to fight for the Saussurea Medusa. Especially since Bai Zhanhou had targeted his heart and veins, even if he couldn't kill him on the spot, he would be able to cripple his martial arts and make him look like a cripple.

Outside the White Horse City, the moat was dyed pitch-black from the night sky, and there were only countless starlight reflecting off of it, dancing about like silver snakes. Suddenly, the originally tranquil atmosphere broke. With a splash, a figure emerged from the water, a saber in his mouth. With much difficulty, the figure crawled to the shore, using a clump of underbrush to conceal his figure. Then, he took off his shirt and pulled out a short halberd from his back.

"Bah!" Hu Erhu spat out a mouthful of blood. The intense pain made him want to faint, but he knew he couldn't. Once he fainted, there was a possibility that he would never wake up again. Those superficial wounds were nothing, but the inner strength that accompanied the short halberd entering his body was simply too formidable. It continuously flowed through his meridians, and his internal organs felt as if they were about to be crushed. This was all created in the nick of time when he was using his inner force to protect his heart meridian. If he was a little bit slower, he would have probably died on the spot.

"Damn it, Bai Zhanhou is actually this powerful. It looks like the Saussurea Medusa is not something an ordinary person can get their hands on. This time, all of my internal organs have been displaced. If I were to fight anyone else in the future, I will definitely be injured and spit out blood and die. Hu Erhu's single eye flashed with a vicious light. He really couldn't understand how he had been cautious enough and how he had been exposed. Was it due to Bai Zhanhou's investigation, or was someone deliberately framing him?

"Cough cough …" Hu Erhu was once again injured, causing a series of violent coughs. He immediately covered his mouth and slowly walked away. No matter what, being able to survive was a victory. As for that Saussurea Medusa, let the others fight for it.

However, the moment Hu Erhu turned around, he saw a black shadow quietly standing behind him. Hu Erhu was scared out of his wits. Who was this person? He could actually get close to Ye Xiao without making any sound. It was truly a shocking skill to be able to hide. One had to know that even though he was heavily injured, he was even more alert, and his sense of the surroundings was strengthened. However, even so, he was still able to get so far ahead due to the intrusion. If he were to encounter such an expert in the past, he would be able to escape even if he was not a match for him. But now, Hu Erhu suddenly felt that he had fallen into a deathtrap.

Hu Erhu looked up. It was a face that was handsome to the point of being jealous. There was always a trace of a demonic smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. When he wanted to see clearly again, a pair of hands had already appeared in front of him...

White Horse City, inside the gambling den.

Ji Yunkong walked directly into the inner room. There was no one stopping him along the way. The employees of the gambling house had already received orders that this person was the boss' esteemed guest, so they couldn't be rude. When he arrived at the inner room, Lei Wanlee was already there waiting for him. Ho Tulu's convoy was coming in a few days time, so he had been staying here for the past few days to meet with Ji Yunkong on one hand and to deal with any sudden situations on the other.

"Young master Jiang, how is it?" Lei Wanlee asked with a smile.

"Fortunately, I didn't fail you!" Ji Yunkong threw something and it flashed with a cold light as it stabbed into Lei Wanlee's table. It was a knife, the Pig Slaughtering Knife.

Lei Wanlee didn't seem to mind and slightly nodded his head. Hu Erhu's sabre was too unique. It was hard for others to imitate it. Besides, the sabre was with the person. It was the motto of almost everyone in the martial arts world. After all, if he had to give up his weapon, he wouldn't have the face to walk in the martial arts world.

"This way, we can begin our next move." Ji Yunkong smiled faintly. He knew very well that the reason why he was asked to do this today was to test if he had the ability to cooperate with Lei Wanlee. If it took a lot of time to deal with the heavily injured Hu Erhu, then how could he match up to the other 'Bai Xiong' powerhouses? Even though he knew, he didn't say anything. This was what a smart person should do. Otherwise, their cooperation wouldn't continue.

Lei Wanlee was very satisfied with Ji Yunkong's performance, and laughed out loud: "Young Master Jiang is truly wise and brave, I admire you, if you were born a few decades earlier, I believe you would definitely have a seat above 'Bai Xiong'! Young master Jiang, what should we do next? "Do you still want to borrow a knife to kill someone and get rid of another person?"

"NO!" "Besides one more person, Hu Erhu might have accidentally exposed himself. If there was another person, it would be telling others that someone had gone to the imperial government to inform the public." Ji Yunkong said.

Just as Bai Zhanhou wanted to get rid of all the Jianghu people, so did the Jianghu people feel uncomfortable with the court officials. Although the two of them had not reached the point where they were mortal enemies, conflicts still occurred frequently. The sects were always unable to bear the jurisdiction of the imperial government, and the imperial government could not allow the sects to become the source of the chaos. Although there were no clear rules in this situation, anyone who secretly informed the imperial government would be viewed with hostility by all the martial arts practitioners. He was not an idiot. After one incident after another, as long as he carefully investigated, he would find out about the gambling den sooner or later.

Lei Wanlee thought about it and also understood this point. He then asked, "Then according to young master, what should we do now?"

Ji Yunkong said, "With regards to this matter, it's nothing more than joining forces to resist the strong. After Hu Erhu was defeated by Bai Zhanhou, he has already become the target of public criticism. Otherwise, just the two of us alone wouldn't be able to defeat Bai Zhanhou and Ho Tulu. "Right now, we have two targets. One is' Green Snake 'Bai Xiaolian, and the other is' Scarlet Tiger 'Lin Hongying. I don't know much about them. What is your plan, Manager?"

Lei Wanlee thought about it carefully, thought about everything about the two, and then said, "Bai Xiaolian is ranked ninety-eighth, her weapon is the Green Snake Whip, the whip is thirty feet long, it can be close by, it's unpredictable. Lin Hongying is ranked fifty-first, and her specialty is wearing a red robe. These two people have their own unique characteristics, but I still prefer Lin Hongying. After all, she is a Green Forest Heroic Pirates, and she is more considerate towards righteousness and righteousness. And Bai Xiaolian, as a member of the Devil Sect, if we cooperate with her, who knows when she might be taken advantage of. "

"Alright, let's do it as Manager Lei says. I'll go look for Lin Hongying myself and convince her to cooperate with us no matter what." Ji Yunkong smiled. His eyes were filled with confidence.
