Chapter 88: The Terrifying Power of the Changing World (8000 Thanks to the Non-Existent Reader No. 0 for the Reward)

As Xu Bai finished speaking, he walked out of the window.

Yun Zihai thought for a moment, picked up the brush and book in his hand, and followed Xu Bai.

Outside the window, the moonlight was bright, the night was as dark as ink, and a few wisps of cool breeze blew at this moment.

And in the open space outside, five men in black were standing there, each holding a different weapon.

"It seems that the person you offended is really stubborn. He sent someone to assassinate you some time ago, and now he is here again." Xu Bai turned his head and looked at Yun Zihai, with a teasing look in his eyes.

Yun Zihai spread his hands helplessly and said, "There is no way, they are stubborn."

Several men in black looked at each other, and seeing that the two men were still able to talk and laugh, they all showed a little weirdness.

"Do it!"

The leading man in black spoke first, and the other four followed suit.

The first man in black raised his hand and threw many more flying knives over.

The angle of the flying knives was extremely tricky, blocking all the retreat routes.

The other four people also came closer. They stood in their respective positions, which looked very strange, but their attacks were not slow at all.

Each person's attack would cause different changes. The other three seemed to be coordinating with the person who attacked.

"Be careful, it's a formation." Yun Zihai saw the signs and raised his hand to write a word "kill" to remind Xu Bai.

After the word "kill" appeared, it fell into the book. A page emerged and went towards the black-clothed man who threw the flying knife. It was very fast and hovered above the black-clothed man's head.

The black-clothed man who threw the flying knife watched the page fall, and suddenly raised his hand. More than ten flying knives appeared from his body, surrounding his whole body, resisting the pages falling from the sky.

At this time, the attacks of the four people finally arrived, but their target was not Yun Zihai, but Xu Bai was attacked first.

The offensive was continuous and linked together, which really fits Yun Zihai's reminder just now, and it looks like the power of the formation.

"Your enemies have many tricks." A burst of black light rose from Xu Bai's body, and the Diamond Heart Demon Body was used.

At the same time, the effect of reversing yin and yang and confusing the four directions was exerted.

The weapons seemed to be confused and were slightly slow, but they finally fell on the black light.

"The mental method is still a little low." Xu Bai thought.

But it's not a big problem. It's enough to deal with them.

He didn't even want to draw his knife because he couldn't break the Diamond Heart Demon Body.

He raised his hands horizontally and drew a circle in the air. Under the encouragement of the true energy, the swords of the four people tilted and turned to stab their own people.

The stars moved.

"Swish~"

These four men in black obviously encountered it for the first time. They never expected that there would be such a strange move. Therefore, they didn't even have time to stop their strength before they were pierced by their companions' weapons.

"Go with peace of mind."

The knife flashed, and four heads fell to the ground, rolling.

On the other side, Yun Zihai waved his brush lightly, and the page seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, splitting the black-clothed man in two from beginning to end.

In the blink of an eye, the five people turned into five corpses, and their deaths were quite miserable.

The fight between them was naturally noisy, and soon attracted the attention of the people left behind in the yamen. Xu Bai heard the noise not far away, gave Yun Zihai a look, and returned to Yun Zihai's room.

A moment later, the yamen runners rushed out and saw five more corpses on the ground. They all showed surprise.

"Clean up here, don't panic." Yun Zihai seemed to be accustomed to it and waved his sleeves.

The yamen runners soon understood that the county magistrate was assassinated again, which was really rare.

They had never heard of a county magistrate being assassinated after taking office. This was the first time they saw it.

Of course, since the county magistrate had spoken, they naturally didn't dare to say much. Several yamen runners stepped forward and quickly dealt with the bodies in the yard.

After dealing with the corpse, Yun Zihai returned to the room and closed the door. Seeing Xu Bai sitting inside waiting for him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"That's good tea. I brought it from the academy. It would be a waste if I don't drink it."

On the table, the pot of tea that Xu Bai poured at the beginning was already cold.

"This wave of assassins is mediocre, and it seems that they are here to play." Xu Bai said with a smile as if he had never heard what Yun Zihai said.

Yun Zihai said helplessly: "That's because they didn't consider you. The assassins who came this time are all seventh-grade strength, but they are extremely restrained against me. The flying knives harass from a distance, and the formations are endless. If I am attacked by them, I will definitely be caught off guard and won't have time to write."

Xu Bai just smiled and pretended not to hear it.

From beginning to end, Yun Zihai was quite calm. Except for the first panic when the first few flying knives flew in, he was not panicked at other times.

This guy is hiding his strength, or showing weakness.

At first, Xu Bai got the news that Yun Zihai was assassinated and injured, but the calm Yun Zihai he saw now did not look like he was injured. He guessed that it was a false news to attract more people.

In terms of fishing skills, this guy is very good.

"In fact, I hope that the five thieves of Luoxi will come to hunt me down, but for some reason, they didn't come." Yun Zihai said with regret: "After all, when I first entered the world of martial arts, those five guys once hurt me."

"The five thieves of Luoxi?" Xu Bai was slightly interested.

Yun Zihai nodded and said, "Five murderers, one of them is good at avoiding danger, which is the basis of their survival, another is good at poisoning before taking action, and two of them are good at swords and knives, and the cooperation is quite exquisite, and the last one is good at confusing."

Xu Bai: "..."

It feels so familiar, aren't these the people he killed in Yinyi before? It seems to be quite consistent.

Of course, now is not the time to discuss this, he just asked casually just now.

"You should tell me what your identity is." Xu Bai said: "Loyal to the Sixth Prince? Or who?"

When it comes to business, he no longer plays tricks, his eyes are like torches, staring straight at Yun Zihai, waiting for Yun Zihai to tell relevant information.

"The Sixth Prince wants the financial resources in the hands of the Ninth Princess, he will not give up the idea of ​​dealing with him, but he really can't command me." Yun Zihai said slowly.

Speaking of the Sixth Prince, his tone was disdainful, as if he looked down on him.

"As for who I am loyal to, in this world, I am only loyal to that one." Yun Zihai raised his hands and said in the direction of the capital.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his hands.

Who was the one Yun Zihai just said? He already had an idea in his mind.

Even the Sixth Prince Yun Zihai looked down on him, and the answer was already very clear.

"So it was His Majesty the Emperor who sent you here. It seems that you killed the prince, not only did not make His Majesty the Emperor angry, but you got a secret job." Xu Bai leaned back slightly and leaned on the back of the chair.

"No, no, no, the Eighth Prince I killed really deserved to die, not only because he killed my family, but also because he did something he shouldn't have done." Yun Zihai shook his head repeatedly.

Xu Bai stood up and prepared to leave.

This operation made Yun Zihai look confused. He couldn't understand why Xu Bai wanted to leave at this time.

"You..." Yun Zihai's face was full of confusion.

"It's enough to know your identity. I don't want to hear anything else." Xu Bai came to the door and prepared to leave.

It is better not to listen to such royal secrets. It is safest to focus on your progress bar.

He just came to find out Yun Zihai's identity. As long as he is not the one who framed him, it doesn't matter.

As for the others, he is not interested.

"Brother Xu, wait a minute." Yun Zihai hurriedly stopped him and said, "I heard from Liu Xu that Brother Xu is a particularly brave man at certain times. There is another problem. We are all fish in the rivers and lakes. It is difficult to get out of the rivers and lakes."

Xu Bai stopped and stared at Yun Zihai without saying a word.

"If you can help me, I can tell the current emperor what Brother Xu wants. Even the precious books in the imperial treasury can be obtained for Brother Xu, such as Brother Xu's favorite Buddhist scriptures." Yun Zihai spoke again.

Xu Bai fell into deep thought.

Yun Zihai stopped talking and waited for Xu Bai's reply, but his eyes were full of expectations.

"How much." Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai was stunned.

He didn't understand what he meant.

Xu Bai raised his lips: "I mean how much can you give?"

Yun Zihai finally reacted, raised a finger, and said: "One book is absolutely no problem."

"My family is still boiling water, you let me go back." Xu Bai said without hesitation.

What a joke, one book can solve the problem?

It doesn't exist, it's too little.

You have to pay more.

"No, no, no, two books, two fifth-level secret books." Yun Zihai stretched out his hand and made a "two" gesture.

"Only the fifth-level ones..." Xu Bai felt very disgusted: "Even the prince died in this matter, and you only gave me this little thing. I'm afraid you didn't embezzle it in the middle."

"Brother Xu, do I look like that kind of person?" Yun Zihai said helplessly: "The reason why the eighth prince died was that he exposed himself, and the little things behind him are really only worth this much. Let me choose the fifth-level, plus you can be a prefecture commander at that time. You can't be a prefecture commander. I will give you all the books. I am very sincere."

When he said this, he had lost the temperament of a scholar, but instead looked like a businessman, bargaining with Xu Bai very patiently.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said: "You talk first, but I'll say it here in advance. If it's difficult, I won't do it."

I didn't agree just now because there was no benefit. Now that there is a benefit, I can still consider it.

Two fifth-level books, if he can get two fifth-level mental methods, let alone other things, just one book, his strength can reach the fifth level.

Moreover, with two books, who can tell what realm it will be at that time.

This thing can be converted to a qualitative improvement.

When the benefits are big enough, it is worth taking a little risk.

Xu Bai wanted to say, it smells good.

Of course, if things are particularly dangerous, he can think of other ways in the middle.

"Then... let me tell you first, why am I here?" Yun Zihai said.

Before tonight, he had never thought of asking Xu Bai for help, but after tonight, he completely changed his mind.

"It seems that Junior Sister Liu still has too little experience and is not very accurate in judging people." Yun Zihai thought to himself.

He still remembered that Liu Xu told him that although Xu Bai was an eighth-grade, his strength was far from that of an eighth-grade, at least around the seventh-grade, a dragon trapped in the shallows, once he encountered water, he could fly into the clouds.

Now it seems that he is not only at the seventh level, even if he faces those seventh-level assassins just now, he can easily wipe them out.

Of course, Liu Xu praised Xu Bai, and her words were full of praise, which Yun Zihai agreed with.

This young man is better than some old Jianghu masters, both in character and strength.

Must be friends.

Not only because of this mission, but also for the future.

Thinking of this, Yun Zihai explained the course of events one by one.

"The thing is..."

Suddenly, Yun Zihai's voice sounded in the room.

After Yun Zihai finished speaking, Xu Bai leaned back in the chair, supported his chin with his hand, and frowned tightly.

Not simple.

According to Yun Zihai, the reason why the eighth prince died was not because he killed Yun Zihai's family, but because he colluded with evil demons.

In the Great Chu Kingdom, evil demons are the targets to be attacked, which is the same as those monsters.

The so-called evil demons are those who stir up trouble in the underworld.

For example, the first couple of Ming Tiejiang, who we met, were bandits, but they were also classified as evil demons.

The evil demons that the Eighth Prince colluded with even had some monsters, which was even more dangerous.

It was like a superposition state. When the evil demons and monsters were combined, there was no other way except death.

It happened that at that time, Yun Zihai's family was also kidnapped and even died in the hands of the Eighth Prince. Then Yun Zihai threw out the fact that he killed the Eighth Prince, pretended to be punished, and came to Sheng County.

"The Eighth Prince burned a letter before he died." Yun Zihai said, "In fact, I don't know anything, let alone the content of the letter, but His Majesty released the news, making many people think that I knew the content, so you also know why I was assassinated."

Xu Bai nodded and said, "If a person makes few moves, he will reveal fewer flaws, but the more he makes moves, the more flaws he will reveal. You want to dig out the things behind it."

Yun Zihai admitted it without hesitation. In fact, there is nothing to hide. Since they are planning to cooperate, it is of course so.

"You use yourself as bait, just for two books and an official position, is it worth it?" Xu Bai said with interest.

Who is the bait? Of course, it is Yun Zihai, and who is the fisherman? It is naturally the emperor in the capital.

As long as there is a secret that must not be known in the destroyed letter, you will definitely catch fish.

"I want to be an official, but not entirely. Brother Xu, do you know that although the Great Chu State is relatively stable now, there are undercurrents inside, and most people live in poverty, just like this Sheng County." Yun Zihai came to the window and pointed to the darkness outside.

"On the surface, the streets are prosperous, but secretly, most people live what kind of life. I know better than anyone else. Even the prosperous county where I live can't make every household full."

"If I can be an official in a county, I can protect the peace of the county. If I can be an official in a prefecture, I can protect the peace of the prefecture. Reading, reading, this is called reading."

"What's funny is that the current royal family is scheming against each other. Who can care about the lives of the people? I am weak and weak, and I will do my best."

At this point, Yun Zihai turned around and his tone became excited.

"Before I agreed, His Majesty told me that my article at that time had the potential to shock the world. If I can complete this task, I will be given the power. Except for His Majesty, even the royal family has no right to interfere with me."

The room fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

After listening to Yun Zihai's words, Xu Bai felt that Yun Zihai and Liu Xu were still very different.

Liu Xu had a strong sense of justice, but once she encountered unfair things, she would resort to force, such as Xiaoyue's matter.

Yun Zihai was different. Yun Zihai wanted a peaceful and prosperous world, where everyone had enough food and warm clothes, but he knew very well that with his own ability, he was far from this standard.

There is a limit to human power, let alone in the current world.

So he set a small goal in his mind, at least to achieve it within his jurisdiction.

In this plan, the emperor was actually the smartest.

Not only did he let Yun Zihai be the bait, but he also got a talent.

As for the so-called power, to be honest, it is just a matter of the emperor's words to release and take it back, and there is no need for any procedures.

Give the power to Yun Zihai, but if there is any idea, it will be taken back at any time. It is very simple, just like eating and drinking water.

Is Yun Zihai clear about this?

Of course it is very clear.

But what he lacks is such an opportunity. Even if he knows that the emperor can take it back at any time, he will try this opportunity.

"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?" Xu Bai said.

He has already understood the general process, and now he just needs to know how to proceed. It is better to ask clearly first.

Yun Zihai scratched his head and acted embarrassed: "Brother Xu, to be honest, I don't know how to help, because this is an idea I just came up with."

He was telling the truth. After seeing Xu Bai's strength tonight, he came up with this idea. He didn't intend to drag Xu Bai down.

So in the short term, there is really no plan.

Xu Bai said: "If you have a plan, you can come to me at any time. If I am not in the county, I will be in Yinyi."

Yun Zihai nodded quickly to show that he understood.

The two of them had almost finished talking. It was late, and Xu Bai did not stay. He went out and walked towards the escort agency.

He had no intention of returning to Yinyi. The trees there had been eaten up, so he wanted to find a quiet place to finish the book in his hand before talking about other things.

This book from the bookstore still needs time, and Xu Bai knew very well that his current situation was very complicated.

Who would have thought that a small remote county would have multiple forces involved.

Qingxue sent by the Ninth Princess is one of them, and the Yun family on the Sixth Prince's side is also one of them. There is also Yun Zihai who represents the emperor, and a group of evil demons who are specifically dealing with Yun Zihai.

There are pits all around.

Let's improve our strength first.

Thinking of this, his steps became faster.

It was already late at night, and there were few people on the road. Except for the sound of the night watchman not far away, it was quiet all around.

The road from the government office back to the escort agency will pass Chunyu Pavilion.

Since the last incident, the door of Chunyu Pavilion has been sealed, and no one dares to come, let alone take over this piece of land.

After all, there are too many murders here. If ordinary people stay in it, they will probably be scared sick.

When passing Chunyu Pavilion, Xu Bai just took a look from a distance and prepared to continue on his way.

Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, a sound suddenly sounded in Chunyu Pavilion.

The sound was very subtle, but it could be heard that it was the sound of fighting.

"Isn't there no one here? How can there be a sound of fighting?" Xu Bai thought secretly.

Although the sound of fighting was very light, he could hear it clearly.

In normal times, he might not have taken a look, but now is different from the past. There are too many things happening recently, and he is worried that there will be another pit waiting for him.

After all, the Sixth Prince could even frame someone, so who knows what kind of stumbling blocks he would use.

Xu Bai thought about it and walked towards Chunyu Pavilion.

…

As he got closer, the sound of fighting gradually became louder. Even though this sound sounded like the chirping of insects and birds to ordinary people, Xu Bai was not an ordinary person and could hear it clearly.

When he came to the door of Chunyu Pavilion, he found that the seal on it had been torn open.

He gently pushed the door open a crack, and through the crack, he saw the scene in Chunyu Pavilion.

Figures were swaying inside, wearing all kinds of clothes, revealing clothes, and a faint fragrance emanating from them.

But don't look at the revealing clothes and the fragrance, this place is not fragrant, because these figures have scars.

The marks on the neck, the blood on the face, the protruding eyeballs, the long tongue, and the horrible death scenes, went back and forth in Chunyu Pavilion.

After a person dies, there is a chance that he will become weird.

There were dozens of girls in Chunyu Pavilion, all of whom were killed by Yang Chang at that time. They died with resentment, and the torture they suffered was simply unbearable for ordinary people.

The probability of becoming a weirdo is gradually increasing.

In the middle, a beautiful girl in ordinary clothes is dancing with the silver thorn in her hand to eliminate the weirdo in front of her.

"She is here?" Xu Bai frowned.

He didn't expect to meet Qingxue in Chunyu Pavilion, and Qingxue is in a very bad state now.

If it was just an ordinary person who became a weirdo, it would be killed. With Qingxue's seventh-grade strength, it would not be difficult to kill her, but the situation is different.

On the second floor of this building, there is a person in black clothes, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly.

The weirdos are all attacking unconsciously, and now they are all besieging Qingxue, probably because she came in first.

The second floor is relatively safe, and the man in black is making trouble.

The man in black holds a handful of copper coins in his hand, one by one, flying towards Qingxue at a tricky angle.

The strength of this man in black is not weak. After all, he was able to severely injure Qingxue. In addition, there are strange things around, and Qingxue's situation is getting worse.

She was injured originally, and after the battle tonight, fine sweat appeared on her forehead. The strength in her body is getting weaker and weaker, and she is about to collapse.

Qingxue didn't expect that just coming here to investigate, this man in black would not give up and want to kill her.

The situation in front of her is very dangerous and critical.

But she doesn't know how to deal with it at all, because she is in a desperate situation and there is no way to avoid it.

If it is normal, she can still escape, but now, there are strange things around to stop her.

If she escapes, it will definitely cause obstacles.

If she is delayed a little at that time, she will be doomed.

What to do?

Qingxue was anxious, revealing a flaw, and was hit by a copper coin again, and took two steps back.

Outside the door, Xu Bai looked at the black-clothed man's technique of using hidden weapons, and his face gradually darkened.

He was very familiar with this technique.

——Maple leaves like rain.

The current situation can be guessed with a little guessing.

This man in black is definitely the one who framed me.

"If you don't take the road to heaven, you will come to hell without a door." Xu Bai reached into the copper coins and grabbed a handful of them.

The man in black probably didn't dare to use a lot of copper coins because he was afraid of alarming the strange reason, but he didn't worry about these.

Dare to frame me, I'll let you know why the flowers are so red.

Xu Bai pushed the door a little wider, and then all the copper coins in his right hand hit the man in black.

The copper coins were wrapped in black light, with a whistling sound, and powerful.

The man in black was originally prepared to slowly wear Qingxue to death, but now, his mentality is different.

The sense of danger spread throughout his body, and when the man in black raised his head, he saw black light all over his eyes.

He saw Xu Bai from the corner of his eye. Although he was masked and his expression was not clear, he could see surprise in his eyes.

After throwing this hidden weapon, Xu Bai pulled out the ghost-head knife from his waist.

The four Xun body movements were used, and the man rushed out like a ghost.

The broken one was used, and the ghost-head knife flashed with light in the dark.

Wherever he passed, the weirdness turned into smoke.

Qingxue was stunned, but quickly reacted, and waved the silver thorn continuously, trying to meet up with Xu Bai.

Sometimes, reality is very cruel.

Xu Bai ignored Qingxue, but killed his way to the second floor, then jumped and rushed towards the man in black.

The whole process seemed slow, but it actually took less than a breath.

The man in black saw Xu Bai rushing up, and he also drew out the long knife from his waist, colliding with Xu Bai's ghost-head knife.

This knife was quite exquisite, and various changes were hidden inside.

Although he drew his knife later, he arrived before Xu Bai.

But the next moment, the man in black retracted his long knife and changed to defense, blocking Xu Bai's knife.

The reason was that Xu Bai's body was covered with black light, and he didn't block this knife at all.

The black-clothed man's knife was indeed launched later but arrived first, but if it was cut on the black light, it would not cause any ripples, and he would be separated from his body in the next moment.

The black light looked very strange, and he didn't want to provoke it.

"Dang!"

The crisp sound spread throughout the Chunyu Pavilion, and the man in black only felt a force along the long knife, through his arm and into his body, which made him take two steps back.

"Break the armor!"

This was the first time the man in black made a sound, with a look of shock.

"It's fun to pretend to be me, right?" Xu Bai sneered and swung his knife again.

The man in black raised his knife again.

But the next moment, he found that the knife was not coming at him, but directly inserted into the wooden board on the ground.

"Swish!"

The long knife cut straight into the wooden board and embedded in it, and because of this knife, Xu Bai had revealed a flaw.

The man in black was stunned.

He looked at Xu Bai with a flaw, and always felt that something was wrong.

Before coming, he was repeatedly told not to underestimate this Jianghu man, especially when fighting.

But what's going on now? Why did he suddenly cut into nothing with a knife, revealing a flaw to him?

This situation is very wrong.

But sometimes, when a battle occurs, accidents may occur at any time, and a flaw will determine life and death.

The man in black couldn't resist the temptation, and still wanted to attack first to try, so he used eight points of strength and chopped Xu Bai's head with a knife.

Although the knife only had 80% of its power, it was powerful and heavy, and the sharpness of the long knife made a thumping sound when it chopped Xu Baiwuguang.

The next moment, the man in black was stunned.

He felt a huge force moving along his long knife, and then directed his arm to chop towards himself with the same move.

What was going on?

He didn't have time to think about it, so he could only try his best to stabilize his arm, and finally stopped when it was close to his neck.

"Hu..." The man in black's heart was beating fast, and the previous blow almost made him breathless.

If he ended his life because of this blow, it would be thought that he chopped himself in the future.

The man in black felt very fortunate, but the next moment, this relief turned into fear.

The knife flashed, and the man in black only felt a pain in his right hand, and then, together with the knife in his right hand, all flew into the air.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Before the man in black could scream, he felt pain in his legs. Starting from his calves, they were cut off, shortening him by half.

"There is still one hand. You used this hand to perform Maple Leaf Rain, right?"

The voice in his ear was like a strange whisper.

The man in black raised his head with fear on his face, and saw Xu Bai holding up the ghost-head knife and cutting off his remaining left arm.

"It feels good." Xu Bai put away the knife and shouted with great joy.

I told you to imitate me again, I wonder if you have any chance to imitate me now?

Imitate one and see?

You are still trying to frame me, try framing one?

Xu Bai stepped on the chest of the man in black.

At this time, Qingxue, without the interference of the man in black, also solved all the weirdness below and jumped to the second floor.

Then, she saw the horrible scene in front of her.

At least she had seen the world, so she was just a little surprised and soon returned to normal.

In the martial arts world, although Xu Bai's methods were cruel, compared to many special methods, they were extremely kind.

She thought that this was the end, but she didn't expect Xu Bai's next sentence to completely overturn her cognition.

Xu Bai stretched out his hand to her and said, "You should have Yinyi's external injury medicine."

Qingxue's face turned pale. She had already thought of what Xu Bai was going to do.
