Chapter 433 Why Kill Me?
at dusk.

The sky is dark and the brightness is quite low.

The lights in the city were turned on one after another, and the rays of light stimulated by spiritual energy brought colorful brilliance to this giant city with a population of nearly ten million.

These artificial lights are at their most stunning during the five or six darkest days of each month.

Amidst the brilliance, a nearly transparent afterimage flashed back and forth at a speed that the naked eye could not capture, getting closer and closer to a certain luxurious mansion in the west of the city.

……

Zhang House.

In a study in the back house.

Under the light of the spiritual chandelier on the ceiling, a middle-aged man in green clothes stood in the room with his hands behind his back, facing the miniature sand table in front of him, frowning.

He was preoccupied, pacing back and forth, thinking about a solution to an extremely difficult matter.

How to stop the continuous infiltration of immortals?
Yes.

With the rapid development of Zhenlin City, the infiltration of Zhenlin City by various forces in these years has reached an extremely serious level.

Either a Lingyuan cannon was lost in the arsenal today; or tomorrow, a certain workshop lost equipment blueprints and secret formulas; Zhou Ming's double was assassinated three times, and more than 100 scientists were kidnapped.

It was the powerful head of Zhenlin City, three of whom had been murdered in succession in recent years.

Without exception, it was all done by immortals.

Among these immortals, there are even a few ancestors in the trance stage.

They regard Zhenlin City as their own backyard, take what they like, and take whatever they like.

Don't say hello, don't hand over a spirit coin.

After succeeding, he basically fled without a trace.

Zhenlin City has suffered heavy losses, but there is no good way to effectively contain it.

Zhou Ming had no choice but to let people announce: If there is an immortal who dares to kill the townspeople in Zhenlin City after stealing, and if it is found out which sect or specific person the immortal came from, Zhenlin City will dispatch Lingyuan battleships to completely destroy them. Someone and the sect behind him!
If the sect from which they came from cannot be found, Zhenlin City will issue a "Slaughtering Immortal Order" to kill all the immortals within Zhongyuanzhou (Zhongyuanzhou, the collective name of place names within a radius of [-] miles)!
This warning has some effect. Many sects have heard of the power of the Lingyuan battleship, and they are quite afraid. It is claimed that one ship can destroy a medium-sized sect, and it can kill the ancestors of the gods with one shot.

The Lingyuan warships, how many ships have been built in Zhenlin City, the forces of all parties are not clear, so they dare not offend them to death.

As for the casual cultivators, they can steal and kill without any scruples, but there is an 8-member "Slaying Immortal Team" in Zhenlin City. The casual cultivator forces want to steal in Zhenlin City, once discovered, the end is predictable.

Even so, even if all kinds of countermeasures are taken, any immortal who enters the city or sneaks into the industrial area can basically return with a full reward.

If Zhou Ming hadn't transferred some of the most important industrial facilities to a mysterious base in Feiyun Mountain in time a few years ago, the loss would have been even greater.

Shaking his head, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Who would have thought that a high-ranking immortal would be able to do such a sneaky thing, go to a mortal city, and become a professional thief?"

"This is indeed the best way to deal with Zhenlin City. It is impossible for the monks to aim the muzzle of the Lingyuan cannon at the dense houses and the immortals fleeing among the crowd."

"These methods bring losses to Zhenlin City every year, exceeding hundreds of millions of spirit coins."

"Economic losses are second to none. The worst impact is the kidnapping of senior scientists and the assassination of high-level figures."

"Even three of my doubles were killed. I hid all day and didn't dare to show up. I couldn't manage many tasks, and I became more and more passive..."

"However, some forces have the momentum to swear not to give up until they kill me. They even sent a long-term trance ancestor in Zhenlin City..."

"How should this be?"

Thinking of this question, Zhou Ming felt pain in his head.

"Zhang Shanhe, so you are here."

A voice suddenly sounded in the ear.

Zhou Ming was a little dazed when he heard the voice, his thoughts were interrupted, he turned his head and looked back, a woman in white with purple eyes and red lips was standing behind him.

"You are……"

As soon as he opened his mouth to ask who she was, an extra hand was attached to his neck. With a little force, his feet were lifted off the ground and hung in the air.

The hand that was holding him was very white, without any blemish, but the nails were very long, embedded in the flesh, as sharp as a blade.

A feeling of suffocation came, and the whole body was also imprisoned. He wanted to perform the martial art, but the spiritual energy in his body did not move at all.

He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't even yell out half a syllable.

My heart skipped a beat, it's over, this time it's probably over.

Another voice of exclamation came from the ear:

"I haven't seen you for 20 years. The young and handsome you are gone, and you have become a thick, dark, ugly old man. You are ugly, really ugly!"

"Just now I was thinking whether I would give you a good time after torturing you, but now it seems that there is no need for it. Old and ugly people should die sooner."

"Zhang Shanhe, die!"

Looking at the man in his hands, Jiang Ruonan, who was very disappointed, pinched and lifted more and more vigorously.

"etc……"

Zhou Ming, who felt that his life was about to die, still uttered two words at the last moment.

Jiang Ruonan was unmoved, and pinched for a while, seeing the man rolling his eyes, his breath getting weaker and weaker, he felt that killing him like this seemed a bit too cheap for him, at least he would have to torture him for a while.

She let go of her hand, put the man down, and let him breathe.

"Cough~cough~cough!"

Zhou Ming coughed desperately. It took him a while to recover after hearing the system prompt "The character is in a dying state, do you want to exit the instance?"

"Jiang Ruonan, why did you kill me?"

He asked the woman in front of him, "I ask myself that I have nothing to do to you. Why did you take my life as soon as we met?"

"Why should I kill you?"

Jiang Ruonan chuckled tremblingly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hit his chest, and when he couldn't dodge, he inserted it into his chest.

"what!"

A burst of severe pain struck, and Zhou Ming found that a hand pierced his chest and held his heart. If he squeezed hard, he would break his heart and die...

I thought to myself: This woman is really ruthless!
"You are so smart, you still ask me why I killed you?"

She said with a cold face, and then turned to be intoxicated: "Tsk tsk, I really want to take out this heart and see if it is red or black, or it is not a heart at all, but a stone."

The nail at the end of her index finger scratched on the heart, and her five fingers gently wrapped it together, as if she really wanted to dig out the heart.

Zhou Ming couldn't breathe, and felt his own weakness for the first time in the unspeakable pain.

For the first time, I deeply realized the importance of individual strength.

Especially in this world, the stronger you are, the more free you are!
"This game is almost done here. The seeds of science have been sown, and the benefits of utensils have been valued by people. Even if I am suddenly absent, I will continue to develop..."

"So, let's die, let's match someone with better aptitude in the next game, practice hard, keep breaking through, and strive to become immortal and holy in terms of cultivation!"

Thinking of this, he silently closed his eyes.

"Huh~"

Seeing him like this, the playful smile on Jiang Ruonan's face froze there, turning cold and ugly, "Why, aren't you afraid of dying? Why don't you struggle, I'm still waiting for you to beg me not to kill you?"

Zhou Ming shook his head: "Stop playing, if you want to kill me, no matter what I say, it's useless. Instead, you'd better give me a good time, if you want to see my heart, just take it out and have a look. "

After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

"Hehe, I'm not going to take advantage of you that easily!"

Jiang Ruonan pulled out his hand that was inserted into his chest, licked the blood on his nails lightly, his eyes glowed seductively: "This is sweet and hot blood, I won't let it drain easily."

She took some measures to stop the bleeding, blocked a few arteries that were bleeding a lot, and leaned into his ear and said, "You are always self-righteous, you always think that you know everything in this world, you always think about everything, and you will follow your Develop in the direction you imagined; always think that everything is in your hands..."

"You even thought I owed you a favor and wouldn't come back to kill you?"

"Hehe, how ridiculous!"

She sneered, and her expression became serious: "Zhang Shanhe, I will give you one last chance to answer this question yourself: I, Jiang Ruonan, why did I kill you?"

"If you get the answer right, I can spare your life!"

"If you answer wrong, I will take your life!"

"Give you half a moment, give me an answer right away!"

Her words that didn't seem to be joking made Zhou Ming's expression tremble, and he began to turn his brain.

Why did Jiang Ruonan kill him?
What did she do to make her so resentful?

Could it be that the one shot that severely injured Patriarch Nether didn't consider her safety?

No, it shouldn't be that simple, because Jiang Ruonan wasn't very resentful at the time, but after killing Patriarch You Ming, she felt relieved and became much happier.

Then what she minds is only her indifferent attitude towards her, as well as her frequent chases.

Just because of her thick skin, does she really mind?
Shaking his head, Zhou Ming said:
"I really don't know. If it's because I kicked you out of Zhenlin City, I can only express my apologies. At that time, I didn't have enough self-protection. If I had enough ability, why should I drive you away?" ? If I have the ability, I have a hundred years to keep you safe... But at that time, I really don't have that ability."

"So, you'd better do it."

Jiang Ruonan nodded, slowly pulled out the rapier from his waist, and said:
"I killed you not because you expelled me, but because you helped me, but you can't be like other men, willing to die to protect me!"

"Those men all died in the end to protect me. All those who wanted to help me, Jiang Ruonan, gave their lives to help."

"But you value your life more than my life, Jiang Ruonan's!"

"This is the most damning place for you!"

"That's why I want to kill you!"

"So, go to hell!"

Jiang Ruonan pointed his sword straight at the big hole in Zhou Ming's chest.
