Chapter 200 Xiao Pojun Appears

Blood-Hand Granny, Bone-Bone Scholar, and Wu Chang were all speechless. When they first heard Xiao Pojun's aggressive words, they all thought that the old man was going to kill Gu Mo.

Bloodhand Granny curled her lip and said, "I thought you old codger had the guts to assassinate Gu Mo!"

Xiao Pojun said in a deep voice, "I'm not crazy. He's one of the top ten grandmasters of the Qian Kingdom. Although I think that kid is definitely bluffing, even if he is, he has still fought in those few major battles and killed quite a few experts. Me, going to kill him alone? What's the difference between that and suicide?"

The Blood-Hand Granny sneered and said, "Then how do you plan to lure Gu Mo away? If you show yourself directly, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to lure Gu Mo away before he beats you to death."

Xiao Pojun chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten that besides Gu Mo and his group and the Second Prince's group, there were two other people in that courtyard?"

Blood Hand Granny's face darkened, and she said, "Sun Xiaotian and Sun Xiaohong are our family members to prevent any accidents."

Xiao Pojun said helplessly, "Isn't this already an unexpected event? Gu Mo's appearance is the biggest unexpected event. If you are unwilling to deal with the two of them, then I will have to go and die. Fine, I will go, but even if I die, you still won't be able to complete the mission."

Wu Chang said, "Grandma, this old monster is right. Gu Mo is the biggest surprise."

Granny Bloodhand pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you intend to do?"

Xiao Pojun said, "Sun Xiaohong is just a child, no one will be wary of her, and she's a girl, so her going to find Gu Chudong won't arouse suspicion. She'll definitely succeed in poisoning Gu Chudong. When Gu Chudong takes the poison, I'll reappear to lure Gu Mo away. You should know my lightness skill; while I wouldn't say it's unparalleled, if I'm focused on escaping, few can catch me. You can then take the opportunity to assassinate the Second Prince. If things go well, Sun Xiaotian and Sun Xiaohong might not even be exposed."

Granny Bloodhand thought for a moment and said, "This is the only way for now. What do you think?"

The scholar with taut bones nodded in agreement, saying, "I agree."

The group then looked at Wu Chang.

Wu Chang looked troubled and said, "I'm a little worried. As far as I know, Gu Mo and Gu Chudong have been inseparable since childhood. If we attack Gu Chudong, it will definitely anger Gu Mo. Normally, if we fail, we can still run away, but if we anger Gu Mo, then if we fail, we will have no way out."

Xiao Pojun said, "Which link do you think might fail? Is it Sun Xiaohong's poisoning that might fail? Or is it my luring Gu Mo away that might fail? Or is it your assassination of the Second Prince that might fail?"
Logically speaking, as long as the first step doesn't fail, the next two steps shouldn't fail. If Gu Chudong is poisoned, Gu Mo will definitely hunt me down relentlessly, and I'm absolutely confident I can keep Gu Mo from catching me for a while. As for the assassination of the Second Prince, you've been preparing for so long; if you still fail, then there's really nothing we can do. At most, Du Sha will arrive tomorrow. With him personally protecting the Second Prince and the Six Doors' experts, we'll have even less of a chance.”

The old woman with the bloody hand chimed in, "There shouldn't be any problems. Sun Xiaohong looks only five or six years old, but she's actually almost thirty. She's mastered all of Sun Xiaotian's poison skills. Besides, her five or six-year-old appearance is very deceptive and can make people lower their guard. Dealing with a little girl like Gu Chudong is no problem at all."

Wu Chang nodded and said, "Since everyone thinks there are no problems, let's do it this way!"

……

The night sky is filled with stars, and the wind and sand howl.

Gu Chudong was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, followed by Sun Xiaohong's voice: "Sister, are you asleep?"

Gu Chudong got up and opened the door, only to see Sun Xiaohong carefully carrying a bowl. She opened the lid, revealing a bowl of steaming hot meat inside. Sun Xiaohong whispered, "Sister, you're a good person. You gave me candy, so I'll treat you to meat!"

Sun Xiaohong looked up with an innocent expression; her chubby face was very cute.

Gu Chudong smiled slightly. The meat wasn't very fragrant and didn't whet her appetite. However, looking at Sun Xiaohong's innocent face, Gu Chudong was deeply moved. She knew very well that this bowl of meat was probably the best thing the family could offer.

Gu Chudong immediately took the meat and said, "Thank you, Xiao Hong!"

Sun Xiaohong grinned, very happy and proud, and said, "Sister, can you tell me about your adventures in the martial arts world? I really want to know what the martial arts world is like. My parents went to the martial arts world, and Grandpa said they are very great heroes who uphold justice. When I grow up, they will come back!"

Looking at Sun Xiaohong, who was tilting her head, Gu Chudong felt as if she were seeing herself ten years ago, when she was also so naive as to think that her parents would come back.

"Okay, come in, I'll explain it to you slowly!"

Gu Chudong opened the door and let Sun Xiaohong in.

At this moment, in the darkness of the main room, Old Sun sat in a chair, seemingly enjoying the cool air, but actually squinting as he observed everything in the courtyard. When he saw Sun Xiaohong enter Gu Chudong's room, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Just the next moment,
A scream suddenly came from Gu Chudong's room, followed by a loud bang as the wooden wall was smashed open, and a figure burst out from inside.

Old Sun frowned and said in a low voice, "Why did this girl make a move? Wasn't she told to poison him and then leave?"

"Grandpa, save me..." However, when he heard this shout from the figure in the yard, Old Sun's face changed drastically. He realized that the person who had been beaten out was not Gu Chudong, but Sun Xiaohong.

Immediately,

Old Sun quickly got up.
At the same time, Gu Chudong rushed out with a knife, and Gu Mo and Chen Xiuyuan also came out of the room.

Gu Chudong shouted, "Brother, that girl poisoned me!"

Gu Mo's face darkened.
He knew that Sun Xiaohong had gone to see Gu Chudong; he could sense it and knew that Sun Xiaohong had entered Gu Chudong's room, but he hadn't paid much attention or deliberately listened to their conversation. However, he suddenly sensed that Gu Chudong had made a move.

At this moment, the night was deep and still, all was silent, except for the dappled shadows cast by the few withered trees in the courtyard under the moonlight. Old Sun suddenly darted out from the shadows, his movements as swift as a ghost. He raised his hands, and in an instant, a thick black mist surged forth from his palms, within which countless insects lunged and thrashed towards Gu Mo and the others, like a ferocious dragon baring its fangs, ready to devour them.

Wherever the thick fog passed, flowers and plants withered instantly, the land turned scorched black, and the air was filled with a pungent, putrid stench, clearly indicating extreme poisoning. The fog swirled and surged, layer upon layer, seemingly endless, and in the blink of an eye, it completely blocked Gu Mo and the others' escape route.

Gu Mo remained calm, gave a cold snort, and struck forward with his palm. The wind from his palm howled like a tidal wave. Wherever the wind from his palm struck, the surging thick fog was forcibly torn open, and it quickly dispersed to both sides, disappearing without a trace.

Taking advantage of the moment, Old Sun rushed to Sun Xiaohong's side, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries. He bent down, picked her up, and with a light touch of his toes on the ground, he was about to use his lightness skill to escape from the place.

"Where to go!"

With a cold shout, Gu Chudong held the Gouchen Demon Blade, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, exuding a sharp killing intent.

Just as Old Sun touched the eaves with his toes, a sharp slash suddenly rang out from the side, tearing through the air.

Gu Chudong's Gouchen Blade glowed with an eerie crimson light, its blade energy condensing into a blood-red cross in mid-air, scorching the air in its wake. As the cross-shaped blade energy tore through the air, it was accompanied by a ghostly shriek, as if vengeful spirits were clinging to the blade, demanding death.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound filled the air as several dazzling cross-shaped blades of energy appeared out of thin air and shot towards Old Sun and Sun Xiaohong like lightning.

As if sensing its master's anger, the Gouchen Blade in Gu Chudong's hand emitted an eerie red light, turning the surrounding night crimson. The blade's aura also became increasingly malevolent, tearing apart space wherever it passed, producing a hissing sound.

Old Sun couldn't dodge in time, and the blade's energy instantly struck him and Sun Xiaohong. Their bodies froze, unable to move, their faces showing extreme terror.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of blood slowly appeared on their bodies, crisscrossing and forming shocking crosses.

With a "thud," the grandfather and grandson fell straight to the ground, blood gushing from their wounds and spreading across the ground, appearing particularly tragic under the cold moonlight.

now,

Several members of the Dongyang Escort Agency who lived in the east wing came out, including Huang Ying and Xiao Ziyan, who were standing at the door, looking nervous and on high alert, watching the courtyard.

They were all shocked when they saw Gu Chudong's slash, especially Xiao Ziyan, who was completely stunned and incredulous.

Huang Ying glanced at Xiao Ziyan, her eyes full of doubt.

Xiao Ziyan looked somewhat embarrassed, recalling how he had confidently asserted that a fair-skinned young girl couldn't possibly have high martial arts skills.

However, in reality, this little girl was not only incredibly skilled in martial arts, but also extremely fierce.

However, what weighed more heavily on Xiao Ziyan's mind now was that he hadn't only misjudged Gu Mo and his group; the grandfather and grandson had also turned out to be martial arts masters. Although they were now dead, he didn't know whether the victors were friend or foe!
Immediately, Xiao Ziyan prepared to probe and ask, but before he could even speak, after bowing,
Suddenly, the blind youth stepped forward, looked up, and shouted, "You coward, get out here!"

This loud shout was like a great bell, its sound rolling and powerful, carrying with it a surge of inner strength, like a turbulent river, instantly sweeping across the entire courtyard.

Wherever the sound waves reached, ripples seemed to spread through the air. The heavy stone tiles in the courtyard, unable to withstand the impact of this immense force, crackled and splintered.

Fragments of stone tiles flew everywhere like projectiles, hitting the courtyard wall and leaving countless small pits.

As soon as they got up, Xiao Ziyan and the others quickly covered their ears, looking at Gu Mo in horror.

At the same time, amidst the shattering and scattering of tiles, a figure flew out and stood on the roof. This person was an old man with red hair and a wine gourd hanging from his waist. He said loudly, "Gu Mo, the great hero of Yunzhou, is indeed worthy of his reputation as a master of internal strength. But with such abilities, he is not good enough to kill me, Xiao Pojun!"
