Dragon Gate Swordsman

Chongxiao didn't have time to think, he quickly turned around, jumped onto the roof, and rushed towards the back of the hall.

The next moment, miserable wails were suddenly heard, followed by fierce fighting and shouting.

The guild hall of the Five-Party Alliance often invites knights with good strength and reputation to serve as guest officials. Their main job is to guard the house. Sometimes they also need to assist the Five-Party Alliance in mediating affairs or doing some clerical work. When they heard the unusual noise at this time, they naturally rushed to the scene as quickly as Chongxiao did.

What appeared before their eyes was an unbelievable scene: members of the Yangshen Sect who had rushed in at some point were besieging Xuanjian Yang Yunxing, and there were already several corpses lying on the ground!

"Evil cult monsters! How could they... Quick! Go help Alliance Leader Yang! Don't let them get away!"

Chongxiao was one of the first people to arrive, and without saying a word, he used Taixu Liukong to directly pierce the bodies of the two cultists.

In fact, this was already a gesture of holding back, otherwise the two men would not have been pierced through the body, but directly cut in half...

After taking the initiative, while the other guests were still unable to react, Chongxiao flashed directly to the ground. His erratic palm bypassed the arm and machete of a cultist and patted him on the neck as if without any force.

Afterwards, the cultist fell to the ground with his eyes wide open... His nervous system was invaded by Chongxiao's domineering true qi, and he went into a state of shock.

There were only fifteen or sixteen cultists present, and one-fifth of them were killed immediately.

"Good work!"

"Good job!"

"Let's go too!"

Gangsters generally don't care much about rules when they fight in groups, and whether or not to talk about morality depends on the situation... At this time, what we have to deal with is the extremely vicious Yangshen Sect, so there is no need to mention the word morality.

However, their joining is actually a burden for Chongxiao, because convenient and flexible moves such as kinetic impact can no longer be used at will.

After knocking down two more cultists at lightning speed, Chongxiao suddenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Yang Yunxing.

Even if the person who could serve as the leader of the West in the Five-Party Alliance was not a top-notch expert in the martial arts world, his strength would certainly not be too bad. After all, this was Yumen. However, facing the siege of only three cultists, Yang Yunxing seemed to be at a loss and even felt like he was about to collapse.

poisoned?

Chongxiao's idea was soon verified, because a cultist who was cornered by the guest officials suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, and then, as if he had gone mad, his left hand directly...

Stabbed into his own abdomen!

Damn you...

Before the stunned guests could react, the crazy cultist suddenly swung his left hand and threw the bloody and flesh fragments that escaped from his stomach at them.

"Quickly open!"

Chongxiao realized something was wrong and shouted immediately, but it was too late.

The most agile guest official fell to the ground in time, while the other two were caught off guard and were covered in the spray. They immediately fell to the ground, struggling and wailing.

It was obvious that the pieces of flesh and blood that escaped from the cultists contained unimaginable poison.

Fortunately, just when he was about to try the same trick again, he was suddenly enveloped by an invisible chill, and his left hand, which had just been inserted into his abdomen, was frozen along with his stomach, and he could not break free no matter how hard he tried.

Taixu, like water.

Chongxiao originally wanted to leave a few people alive for interrogation, but after seeing this scene, he knew that there was no need to do so.

Soon, more than a dozen cultists were killed, and the last one had his heart meridian shattered by a palm from Chongxiao... His eyes were wide open, and he fell down while holding Chongxiao's arm tightly, perfectly interpreting what it means to "die with eyes open."

And at this moment, Chongxiao actually sensed his last thought.

He... betrayed us...

Him? Betrayal?

You are right. Your leader sent you to a place like this to carry out assassination. Isn't that just sending you to your death?

Chongxiao didn't pay much attention to it and turned around and walked towards Yang Yunxing who was sitting on the steps.

He looked much better now, but the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth was still not normal in color, and he looked weak.

"Thank you very much... Your Excellency for your help..."

"It's my job. It's better to treat Alliance Leader Yang's poison as soon as possible."

"It's okay... I'll use my internal energy to force it out..."

After saying that, Yang Yunxing waved his hand to signal the guests to let him go, and then began to use his internal energy to force out the poison.

At first glance, this seems too casual. You must know that the most important thing to avoid when using internal energy to force out the poison is distraction. If an enemy happens to attack at this time, there will be basically no ability to fight back. But if you think about it carefully, you will know that Yang Yunxing's move undoubtedly "bought" the hearts of the guests.

As expected, everyone present was moved... It is not uncommon for a man to die for his confidant, even in modern times.

Only Chongxiao saw everything clearly, so he was not moved at all. Instead, he glanced at the corpses on the ground idly.

As a result, he suddenly discovered that one of the corpses was dressed completely different from the cultists... He walked up and turned the corpse over, and found that this was the Luper man that Xiaobai had described.

How could he die here?

Chongxiao looked surprised, and then he found that the other party's right fist, which was pressed down by his body, was clenched tightly, as if he was holding something.

After opening his fist, he found a button inside. The pattern was exquisite and the style was simple. It didn't look like the cheap stuff that ordinary people wear.

Out of the intuition of a professional policeman, Chongxiao calmly memorized the pattern of the button and stuffed it back into the corpse's hand. Then he stood up and turned to look at Yang Yunxing who was still practicing his internal energy.

Because of the poisoning, he had suffered some minor injuries in the previous battle, and his clothes were torn in several places...but judging from the buttons on his cuffs, they clearly had the same pattern as the buttons in the corpse's hand.

This alone does not prove anything. After all, Rupert was captured because Yang Yunxing believed he had connections with the cultists. It is not surprising that the buttons on his sleeves were grabbed off when he was killed.

But don't forget that Chongxiao just sensed the thoughts of the last cultist: people who are confused by wrong beliefs do not want to repent when they are about to die, nor do they want to strengthen the beliefs that have been instilled in them, but instead emphasize the betrayal...

It seems...something is not right...

It is simply impossible to read Yang Yunxing's thoughts directly. Anyone who has the ability to climb to this position will not have any flaws in his character.

So after a brief pause, Chongxiao asked a guest official about the security of the guild hall, and learned that this was the independent villa of Western Alliance Leader Yang Yunxing. Except for a few guests and the housekeeper who had a good relationship with him, anyone else who wanted to come in needed to be notified in advance.

In other words, it is not tight, but it is not something that anyone can enter.

"Why are you asking this, brother? Do you want to hold the person who failed in his duty accountable?"

The guest official's face did not look good when he said this, and he was obviously putting himself in the situation... It was no surprise. Yang Yunxing was assassinated in the base camp of the Five-Party Alliance, and all the guests here could not escape the blame.

However, Chongxiao just smiled slightly.

"No, I just think... there's a lot of sand in Yumen City."

Chapter 98 Lin and Shi, Cat and Mouse Game

On the twenty-first day of Chongxiao's absence, everything was normal at Longmen.

The Royal Guard Bureau is still busy dealing with all kinds of problems facing the citizens, the Special Inspection Team continues to focus its efforts on a small number of violent criminals, and the business tycoons represented by the Shi Huaiya Group have also entered a stage of stable development.

Even Penguin Logistics, which had originally planned to make a name for itself by doing a big business after its official establishment, had to slack off because it had not received any suitable business. It was basically the Emperor who boasted to Mostima about his legendary experience.

But there is one exception...that is our Miss Lin Yuxia.

Two years ago, the special inspection team, led by Chongxiao Xingxiong, wiped out the three gang leaders of Longmen, and the underworld was devastated.

Rat King Lin Gerui cursed at this, but he clapped his hands in his heart because it meant he could live a comfortable retirement life.

Lin Yuxia can also focus her main energy on her studies instead of coordinating relationships between various gangs.

However, it turns out that there are some people who, if you don't let them do serious things, they will do something improper...

For example, she would apply for all the courses she was interested in at school, or use her extraordinary talent to finish the courses early, or she would run to the slums where the infected people gathered and follow her best friend.

That’s right, I’m talking about Shi Huaiya!

Ever since Chen Huijie left Longmen and returned to Londinium, the only person of the same age who could really chat with Lin Yuxia was probably Shi Huaiya.

Please don't mention Texas... He was promoted to superintendent at a young age, and it is estimated that he will be a senior superintendent in the next one or two years. He is not at the same level as the three little ones who take sword lessons with Chongxiao.

At least not now.

In short, although Lin Yuxia always acted like she didn't care on the surface, she actually started to get close to Shi Huaiya after she had no "business" to do.

Of course, she herself couldn't explain what she was fighting for.

Shi Huaiya's behavior in the past two months was very strange. He would run to the slums whenever he had nothing to do, which made Lin Yuxia very concerned.

She knew that with her best friend's IQ, the only thing she needed to go to college was a diploma, and it didn't matter whether she attended classes or not... But how could a behemoth like the Shihuaiya Group allow its future heir to run around in the slums all day?

Or does Shi Huaiya have some unspeakable secret there?

Driven by this idea, the famous detective Lin Yuxia took action.

She tied her smooth long hair into a braid, put on a round hat that didn't match her temperament, changed into a tight long coat, and finally put on the same sunglasses as director Nian who made a comeback some time ago.

The daughter of a wealthy gang in Longmen was transformed into a slightly vulgar private detective.

Lin Yuxia was actually very clear that this kind of image could easily attract suspicious eyes, but it was still much better than her original appearance.

Moreover, Shi Huaiya's intuition is incredibly sharp. If I really dress ordinary and follow her, I will probably be noticed within a hundred steps... But if I dress suspiciously on purpose, she will think I am just an ordinary paparazzi.

At 9:20 in the morning, Lin Yuxia, who was squatting on the street, saw the target.

I don’t know why, but since entering college, Shi Huaiya has spent less and less energy on dressing up, and even in recent months she has appeared in public without any makeup.

It’s not that she cares less and less about her image, but that she doesn’t need any makeup at all... Her skin is getting better and better, her eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and her whole temperament is becoming more and more natural and refreshing, so why does she need to put on makeup?

As her best friend, Lin Yuxia had asked her indirectly a few days ago how she did it, but only got a puzzling answer.

"Well... this is all thanks to Chongxiao."

Teacher Chongxiao? What does this have to do with him?

Lin Yuxia knew that Chongxiao had mastered the art of hair care. Whether it was the fluff on the ears or the tail behind him, he could make them fluffy, clean, smooth and shiny.

But this won’t affect the skin, right?

No, no, no, now is not the time to think about these things...

Shaking her head vigorously to put aside all distracting thoughts, Lin Yuxia tugged at the corner of her clothes to make sure that Shi Huaiya, who was not far away, would not easily see her.

Soon, the other person got into a car, and she quickly hailed a taxi and asked the driver to try to catch up.

"...My dear guest, you don't want to do anything, do you?"

"Don't worry, it was the woman in that car who seduced my husband. I need to catch evidence of their affair."

Lin Yuxia is well versed in psychology and knows that most people have a gossipy nature, and cheating on their spouse and children is the most "attractive" gossip.

Besides, she doesn't have a big mental obsession with cleanliness, so she can come up with lines that are obviously "out of scope" with ease... If it were Chen Huijie or Shi Huaiya, they would definitely not say such things.

Sure enough, when the taxi driver heard that they were going to catch a cheating, their enthusiasm increased by 200 percentage points, and their style immediately started to become like Fujiwara Takumi, stepping on the accelerator and chasing after Shi Huaiya's car.

But just twenty minutes later, he regretted it.

"Um...Excuse me, why is it in a place like this?"

“This is the easiest place to get caught.”

"It's also..."

The taxi driver was obviously reluctant to drive into the slums, but he gritted his teeth and did it after Lin Yuxia gave him 50% more fare.

Shi Huaiya's car did not go into the narrow streets of the slums, but drove directly along the newly repaired main road to the location of the ore processing plant, and then entered the nearby parking lot.

So Lin Yuxia hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car, paid the fare, then quickly jumped out and trotted over.

She knew this place... It was said that it was a new engineering project jointly developed by the Governor's Office and the Shihuaiya Group a while ago. Because it was specifically aimed at the infected, it was criticized by many citizens. They said that they had money but nowhere to spend it, and it was better to throw it on the street than to give it to those hopeless guys.

However, some people expressed approval and support because the Shi Huai Ya Group promised that the profits from the project would be used to improve Longmen's facilities and environment and invest in the construction of public facilities such as schools and hospitals.

Looking at the parking lot from a distance, you can just see Shi Huaiya getting out of the car and walking into the building next to it.

It was a six-story building right next to the ore processing plant, and should be a supporting office building or something like that.

This gave Lin Yuxia an incredible idea: Could it be that Shi Huaiya was sent by the family to manage the treatment plant? Aren't they afraid that Shi Huaiya would be infected?

You know, the reason why Lin Yuxia dared to come and go freely here was not because she was brave or thick-skinned, but because she could use Originium skills to build a layer of protection around her to prevent contact with Originium dust... Unless she was hit head-on by Originium explosives, there would be no danger of infection.

But Shi Huaiya... probably doesn't have that ability, right?

After frowning and thinking for a while, she decided to sneak into the facility to see whether her best friend was visiting temporarily or came here regularly to do something.

The area occupied by the ore processing plant is extremely astonishing. In addition, the building that Shi Huaiya has just entered is quite far away from the facilities that actually process the ore. There are also several air reversers installed in the middle, presumably to prevent the spread of source stone dust.

Lin Yuxia originally planned to enter from that entrance as well, since she didn't see any security guards or the like there anyway.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he heard a less polite voice coming from the side.

"who are you?"
