Chapter 1392: Killing Zhao Ji in Seconds, Close Contact with Ren Ruyi
The next day, Zhou Chen did not go to Liudao Hall for duty, but stayed at home, quietly wiping his sword and waiting for the night to come.

As Zhou Chen finished the last glass of water in the kettle, it was completely dark. He immediately changed into black clothes and put on the mask he had prepared long ago.

As for his destination, it was on the way to Ning's house.

Because he knew that after yesterday's threat to Zhao Ji, the fearful Zhao Ji would do his best to find Ning Yuanzhou. At that time, he would go to Ning's house to find Ning Yuanzhou just like in the plot. So he would definitely wait for Zhao Ji on the way to Ning's house.

The capital city is not peaceful tonight. A fire broke out in Qingshi Lane, burning down a large mansion. Lou Qingqiang from Liudao Hall personally led people to "investigate".

In fact, this arson case was directed and acted by Liudaotang, because this house was the location of the Wudu branch of the Anguo Zhuyiwei, and it was sold to Liudaotang by a traitor of Zhuyiwei in exchange for three thousand gold.

But when Lou Qingqiang came to collect the bodies, he suddenly found something wrong. He was responsible for interrogating and executing all the people here. He knew exactly how many bodies there were, how many were male and how many were female.

But when he examined the bodies, he found that there was one more male corpse and one less female corpse. There was no doubt that someone had come and replaced the male corpse with a female one.

After all, he was an old man who had worked in Liudaotang for many years. He immediately realized the problem. There were still remnants of the Zhuyiwei Wudu branch, so he immediately took people to search.

Ren Ruyi wanted to avoid being hunted down by the Six Paths Hall, but because she had been stabbed and poisoned by someone from the Six Paths Hall at the branch before, she had to use Zhu Yiwei's secret antidote, Wan Du Jie, at the critical moment.

The All-Poison Solution can cure all poisons, but the side effect is that your internal energy will be completely lost within the next seven days.

As a top assassin, Ren Ruyi knew very well that once she lost her internal strength, she would lose most of her combat power. But now it was a matter of life and death, and she could not afford to think so much. In this Wudu, if she didn't save herself, no one would come to save her.

Zhou Chen, dressed in black, blended into the darkness, holding his breath, like a patient hunter hunting his prey.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and after a few breaths, he saw a group of people walking towards this side quickly.

Although the vision was limited at night, Zhou Chen's eyesight was still good. In addition, the other party was traveling very recklessly, so Zhou Chen recognized their identity at a glance.

Zhao Ji led a team of people and quickly passed through the Qingshi Lane and headed towards Ning's residence. He had already received the news and determined that Ning Yuanzhou did not die on the battlefield of Tianmen Pass and had returned to Wudu. He was most likely hiding in his own home.

Zhang Xiang gave him seven days to find Ning Yuanzhou. He did not dare to be careless. Zhang Xiang was a cruel and ruthless person. If he could not find Ning Yuanzhou by then, the other party would definitely kill him.

In order to save his own life, no matter how unhappy he was with Ning Yuanzhou, he had to find him first.

While he was thinking about something, he met Lou Qingqiang and others who were searching for Ren Ruyi on the road. He just responded with a single word "get lost".

They were almost reaching Ning's residence when a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.

The figure was moving so fast, and it was dark, that it rushed in front of them before Zhao Ji and the others could react.

"who?"

Their answer was a man in black who rushed into the flock.

Zhou Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, took advantage of the situation and directly burst out his internal strength, performing the Posing Step and rushing into the crowd like a dragon.

Just as the two people at the back were about to draw their swords, Zhou Chen slapped them away with one palm each. Then a flash of sword light appeared. The rest of the people only saw the sword light, and then they felt a sharp pain in their hands holding the weapons, which made them involuntarily let go of their hands, and their swords fell.

Zhao Ji was horrified when he saw that his ten men couldn't even survive a single round under the sudden attack of the men in black.

The opponent was too fast, his steps were extremely agile, and his sword skills were so fast that he couldn't see clearly. He didn't know where this man in black came from, but he had no time to think about these things now.

After the man in black defeated the rest of the people, the sword pointed at him from a distance. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back and he drew his sword in an instant.

Before he took action, he shouted, "Who are you, and why do you want to be an enemy of Liudaotang?"

But Zhou Chen didn't waste any time talking to him. He took a few steps to stand in front of him and stabbed Zhao Ji's chest with the sword in his hand.

Zhao Ji was furious and hurriedly chopped with his knife. Seeing how powerful Zhou Chen was, he used all his strength in this attack.

"clang!"

The swords collided, and Zhao Ji changed the direction of the sword tip, but Zhou Chen quickly changed his moves the next moment.

"A dragon treading on snow!"

The Xiangyi Tai sword, combined with Yangzhou Man's internal strength, plus the Posa step, swordsmanship, internal strength, and footwork, these three martial arts are all top-notch. Except for the internal strength which has not reached the peak, Zhou Chen has already reached the pinnacle in the rest of the swordsmanship and footwork.

This sword was a sure-kill move, blocking all of Zhao Ji's escape routes, and it was so fast that Zhao Ji could not resist it.

Zhao Jineng could be the leader of the Six Paths Hall, so naturally his fighting skills would not be bad. Unfortunately, he met Zhou Chen, who was full of murderous intent. Even though he had prepared in advance with the cooperation of his three unique skills, he still could not block Zhou Chen's fatal move in a head-on confrontation.

The last scene Zhao Ji saw in this world was the sword light that cut across his throat.

After killing Zhao Ji, Zhou Chen didn't stop at all. He jumped up, used his lightness skills, and quickly disappeared into the night.

It was not until Zhou Chen disappeared that the remaining members of Liudaotang saw that Zhao Ji had fallen to the ground with blood spurting from around his neck.

"My lord, he was killed."

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. From the beginning till now, it had only been a few breaths of time. It was so fast that they were overwhelmed. And then Zhao Ji died. His death was even more ruthless than that of a minion.

What they could not accept the most was that they didn’t even know who the other party was. This killer who suddenly rushed out was so cruel.

Zhou Chen had already made arrangements for his next action, so after killing Zhao Ji, he immediately sneaked into the mourning hall of Ning's house.

His internal strength had not yet reached its peak, but his lightness skills had reached the pinnacle. He sneaked into Ning's house without being discovered by anyone, including Yuanlu who was helping Ning Yuanzhou look after the house.

There were two coffins in the mourning hall. When Zhou Chen saw Ning Yuanzhou's coffin, he smiled. Here came the chance for him to be a hero and save the beauty.

Ren Ruyi held his breath, not daring to make a sound, and hid quietly in the coffin.

She killed the human members of the Six Paths Hall today and was poisoned. She had to take the All-Poison Elixir. Now her internal strength has been completely lost. The people from the Six Paths Hall are chasing her very closely. She has no choice but to hide in this house.

When she found two coffins, she suddenly had an idea and hid in one of the empty coffins, waiting patiently.

Suddenly, the coffin lid above her head was pushed open, but before she could move, a man in black got into the coffin and covered her mouth.

The next moment, a man's voice was heard.

"Don't make a sound."

But Ren Ruyi was not someone who could be bullied. The space inside was not big to begin with, and when two people came in, they were naturally squeezed together.

A hairpin appeared in Ren Ruyi's hand and she stabbed Zhou Chen with it, but Zhou Chen grabbed her wrist and applied a little force, causing pain to appear on Ren Ruyi's face.

"Don't move, I won't hurt you, Bai Que from the Red Guards, there are people from the Six Paths Hall outside."

Ren Ruyi's pupils shrank slightly. If she had not lost her internal strength, she would not be afraid of being discovered. But now that she had lost all her internal strength, she felt very uneasy about being discovered by this man in black whose origins were unknown.

She had to relax her tense body, as if she agreed with Zhou Chen's words.

The coffin lid was closed and it was dark inside. Because the space was small, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi were almost pressed together and could smell each other.

Ren Ruyi was very uncomfortable. Although she concealed her identity and became Bai Que of Zhuyiwei, this trip to Wudu was only her first action. In order to complete the mission, she had come into contact with many people and killed many people before.

But she had never been so close to a man, and that was while lying in a coffin.

But she is not an ordinary person. After realizing that she could not do anything to Zhou Chen, she started thinking about how to escape.

Who is this strange man in black? How did he know her identity? How did he know that she was hiding in this coffin? Was it a coincidence or intentional? What was his purpose in doing this?
While she was thinking, she suddenly felt that she was being watched. She turned her head slightly and saw the man leaning against her, staring at her. In the darkness, his eyes were particularly conspicuous, which made her very uncomfortable.

Compared to Ren Ruyi's uneasiness and unhappiness, Zhou Chen was much more content. He had finished what he needed to do, and the next step was to complete the mission. Now being able to lie in a coffin with Ren Ruyi, being so close to each other, was also a different kind of enjoyment.

Being in such close contact, he could clearly smell her fragrance, sweat, and blood. At the same time, he also felt the tenseness of Ren Ruyi's body. She tried her best to avoid contact with him, but the space here was so small that she couldn't avoid it.

Neither of them said a word. There was total silence in the coffin. They could even hear each other's heartbeats, making the atmosphere somewhat charming.

Ren Ruyi tried hard not to let his mind wander and suppress his murderous intent, but he was determined in his heart that when he recovered, he would not be able to get around the man in black.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly, there was a noise outside the house.

Lou Qingqiang brought a group of people to the gate of Ning's house. Originally, he led people to hunt down the remnants of Zhuyiwei. He never expected that Zhao Ji, who was going to Ning's house, was assassinated while being protected by many of his men.

But he was not as brave as Zhao Ji, who dared to break into Ning's house. After being stopped by Yuanlu at the door, he hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not break into Ning's house.

Although he was Zhao Ji's subordinate, Zhang Xiang threatened Zhao Ji, not him. Whether Ning Yuanzhou could be found or not was not of much concern to him for the time being. Regardless of whether Ning Yuanzhou was really alive or even hiding in Ning's house, he had no intention of breaking in forcibly.

Of course, there is a more important reason, which is the death of Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji's martial arts skills were not weak, and he had ten good fighters around him. Instead of killing others, he killed Zhao Ji, and killed him in such a short time. He had to suspect that it was Ning Yuanzhou's conspiracy.

Because in his impression, he couldn't think of anyone else in Wudu who had such skills except Ning Yuanzhou.

Since his own life was in danger, he had to be cautious, so he led his men away from Ning's house.

When Yuanlu saw Lou Qingqiang leading his men to retreat, he clapped his hands with great pride. He thought that it was because of his own strength that he scared away Lou Qingqiang and others, and walked towards the mourning hall with a smug look on his face.

In the mourning hall, the old master's spirit tablet and coffin were set up by Ning Yuanzhou, and Ning Yuanzhou's spirit tablet and coffin were set up by him.

Ning Yuanzhou followed the army to Tianmen Pass and has not returned yet, and there is no news, so he thought Ning Yuanzhou died on the battlefield. He prepared a coffin and a memorial tablet for him, and he himself stayed at Ning's house to guard Ningtou's home.

The closer he got to the mourning hall, the more uncomfortable he felt. To him, Ning Yuanzhou was not only his boss, but also his eldest brother and his only relative.

Now that Ning Tou'er is gone, and he himself has a heart disease, he doesn't know when he will die. He hopes that he can die here, with the old hall master and Ning Tou'er.

But the moment he stepped into the mourning hall, he saw that there was suddenly one more person inside. The familiar figure made him feel creepy in an instant.

"who are you?"

"It's only been a short while since we last met, and you don't recognize me?"

The man slowly turned around and looked at Yuanlu with a smile. Yuanlu's pupils widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"Ning, Ning, Boss? You, you were not at the front line, how come you are back, you are not dead..."

Seeing Yuanlu crying with joy, Ning Yuanzhou smiled and waved at him. Yuanlu immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Of course I'm not dead. I even sneaked back here."

"That's great, Boss. I'm so glad you're okay. When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

"They say I came back secretly, so I must be careful and not expose my whereabouts."

"Then why are you coming out by yourself now?"

"Because Zhao Ji was killed."

This is what he learned from the people from Liudaotang who had just arrived. Zhao Ji brought people to find him, but was ambushed and killed on the way. This made him feel very strange.

"Zhao Ji is dead?"

Yuanlu was shocked. He had been staying in Wudu and had heard a lot about what Zhao Ji had done. He despised Zhao Ji in his heart, but Zhao Ji was the head of Liudaotang after all. He had heard that Zhao Ji had done bad things just two days ago. How could he suddenly die?

Ning Yuanzhou said: "I have decided to retire and no longer care about these things, but before that, there is one thing I need to do."

As he said this, he winked at Yuanlu, and then he walked to the coffin prepared for him.

When Yuanlu saw his actions, he immediately reached into his bag, ready to release a hidden weapon at any time, and nodded slightly to Ning Yuanzhou.

Ning Yuanzhou used his internal energy and slapped the coffin with his palm. The powerful internal energy shattered the entire coffin into pieces.

Two figures rose into the air from the shattered coffin, quickly moved in the air, stepped on the beams, and then landed lightly on the ground.

Yuanlu's hidden weapon has been obtained and is aimed at the two figures that suddenly appear.

"Yuanlu, don't do it."

Ning Yuanzhou stopped Yuanlu who was about to throw a hidden weapon, and looked at Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi who came out of the coffin with a frown.

"Zhou Chen? What's going on with you?"

He was dressed in black, holding a woman in his arms, and he came out of his own coffin. Even with Ning Yuanzhou's smart brain, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

After seeing Zhou Chen's appearance, Yuan Lu was also stunned: "Brother Zhou, why are you in the boss's coffin? And this sister, what's wrong with you two?"

Just as Zhou Chen was about to speak, Ren Ruyi, who was in his arms, forcefully opened his arms, took a few steps away from him, and looked around vigilantly.

Zhou Chen didn't care and just looked at Ning Yuanzhou with a smile.

"Long time no see, Ningtou."

"It's been a long time since we last met, and I never thought that we would meet again in this kind of occasion."

Ning Yuanzhou had an inexplicable expression. For some reason, when he looked at the familiar Zhou Chen in front of him, he actually felt a little strange. Zhou Chen seemed to have become a little different from before.

Also, why would he bring a woman with him, hiding her in his mansion and in his coffin?

"Zhao Ji's death has something to do with you, right, Zhou Chen?"

Zhou Chen praised: "As expected of you, Hall Master Ning. You guessed it right. I was indeed the one who killed Zhao Ji. He got the news that you were not dead and wanted to come here to force you to show up. So I killed him halfway and kept the news that you were still alive. You should thank me."
