Chapter 108 Generous Reward! Just in Time!

The cold snow is falling in the shed courtyard.

Gu Xiaojiang rarely appeared, and drank with Gu Sheng. Now he also started to use Yangxue Powder for medicinal baths, and was on the road of flesh and blood transformation.

This step is not difficult for him. What is difficult is to break the limit and give birth to the power of Qi and blood.

However, he is confident that it is not difficult to advance to the blood refining realm before the age of eighteen, and it does not even take that long, so Gu Xiaojiang is finally feeling a lot more relaxed now, practicing step by step, without the breathless pressure before.

The only thing that bothered him was probably the progress of Iron Stone Fist.

It is far from possible to break through from the realm of Dacheng to perfection. After all, after reaching this step, you need to explore by yourself. Gu Jingang can no longer give him any guidance. Although Gu Sheng can vaguely give him a few pointers, the key point is still to rely on himself.

"Just be content. You already have such strength at this age. It will be appropriate for you to be promoted to the bone refining realm in the future. If you are not satisfied, others will commit suicide."

Looking at Gu Xiaojiang who was not satisfied, Gu Sheng joked with a smile.

Young people are always arrogant and hope to be faster and stronger.

Gu Xiaojiang smiled helplessly:

"Now my level has improved, but I lack actual combat. At most, I have fought with Shouchi warriors, and there are almost no life-and-death fights. In fact, I want to become a knife catcher, but my father and others will not allow it..."

This is also normal.

Gujiazhuang had put a lot of effort into Gu Xiaojiang. If he was killed like this, wouldn't it be a loss of money?

Even if he wants to improve his actual combat experience, he will not let him become a knife hunter.

"When you advance to the Blood Refining Realm, there will be plenty of opportunities."

Gu Sheng just smiled.

"Why do you have the same idea as them? My father and the others also said that I can at least wait until I advance to the blood refining realm before I can become a knife catcher. Alas, it will take a long time."

Gu Xiaojiang had some longing in his eyes.

In recent days, many influential figures have appeared among knife hunters.

"There are quite a few strong swordsmen among the sword hunters. The original 'Qiushui Sword' Yan Heng, the newly-emerged 'Giant Ax Butcher', 'Kuai Dao' Zhou Song, and the 'Three Fierce Winds' brothers, all of them are... The strong among the strong is really enviable.”

"Especially the 'Giant Ax Butcher'. I heard Uncle King Kong mention it several times, saying that this person is probably also born with divine power, or even stronger than him!"

Gu Sheng suddenly felt strange when he heard that his name appeared in Gu Xiaojiang's mouth and he was highly praised.

Gu Xiaojiang never expected that the 'Giant Ax Butcher' would be sitting opposite him and drinking with him.

Gu Sheng smiled. He had heard of several other names. He had even dealt with 'Quick Knife' Zhou Song. This man once invited him to join the small circle of strong knife catchers, but he ignored him. He probably disliked him in his heart. Some grudges.

Seeing Gu Xiaojiang's eagerness to try, Gu Sheng couldn't help but smile and comforted:

"Don't worry, practice hard. With your talent and strength, you will one day shine."

He could more or less understand Gu Xiaojiang's mood.

The purpose of practicing hard is to pursue something. If you practice silently every day, even a character like Gu Sheng will have some manic desire to fight in his heart.

It is said that armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arise spontaneously. This is exactly the case.

To a certain extent, the knife hunter's bounty mission also gave Gu Sheng a way to vent his anger.

It's normal for Gu Xiaojiang to feel restless. After all, he is young and yearns for passion, fame and fortune.

…

Carrying a giant ax on his back, Gu Sheng slowly stepped into the knife-catcher's courtyard. He was immediately met with awe-inspiring looks. The title of 'Giant Ax Butcher' was not something he deserved, especially since the butcher had a withdrawn and violent personality, even with powerful men at his level. If you don't give him any face, he will naturally become even more fearful.

"If you take one more mission, you can almost be promoted to a master of blood refining!"

Gu Sheng thought to himself and walked to the wooden table.

"Find the target for entry into the blood refining realm for me."

"Master Butcher, please wait a moment."

This clerk was the one Gu Sheng had met for the first time. He was very familiar with Gu Sheng's habits, so he immediately lowered his head and started searching.

After a while.

The clerk raised his head with a troubled look on his face.

"Sir, there are no wanted criminals recorded in the intelligence records who meet your requirements. There are only two bounty targets left who are at the beginning of the blood refining realm. They are both good at body skills, and one of them is good at the art of disguise. Very difficult."

Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown.

In the past few times, he tried his best to find bounty targets who were not good at movement and disguise, so as to maximize the success rate of his mission and avoid spending too much time on tracking.

Unexpectedly, this time, it was gone.

But it's understandable.

These bounty targets are not monsters that will be refreshed. As the knife hunters continue to complete their tasks, it is inevitable that there will be fewer and fewer wanted criminals, and the remaining ones will become more and more difficult to deal with, and they will slowly reach a level in the future. balance.

The knife-catchers are destined to be just the product of a special period in Canghe County, and their numbers will eventually be fixed at a stable fluctuation in the future. Gu Sheng has every reason to believe that Liu Yuanhu will have various methods to collect these rebellious knife-catchers.

A trace of hesitation flashed in his mind, as he considered whether to lower his goal to the Jade Skin Realm or raise it to the Blood Refining Realm.

At this time.

The young official said:

"Sir, there is a relatively popular task recently. Would you like to consider it?"

Gu Sheng was stunned and said coldly:

"Tell me and listen."

The clerk did not dare to hesitate and said quickly:

"Seven days ago, the poisonous bee guest Lian Xubai, who had disappeared for half a year, appeared in the territory of Baishi Town. Lian Xubai is a minor cultivation in the blood refining realm and has raised a large number of poisonous bees. However, now several adults have accepted this task. , He cannot escape with his wings. If you take it now, you may still have time. "

Gu Sheng glanced at the clerk and said calmly:

"How much is the reward?"

"The reward is two hundred taels of silver, and there is also a body-building martial arts book, Golden Body Kung Fu!"

Gu Sheng was shocked.

Golden Body Kung Fu!

It once appeared in a black market auction and was taken down by the strong man with a bull-faced mask. Unexpectedly, it appeared in the reward of the knife hunter's bounty mission by accident.

But it’s normal to think about it.

That bull-faced brawny man was most likely killed by Liu Yuanhu that day. It was not surprising that the golden body skill fell into his hands. Gu Sheng felt a trace of fire in his heart and he suppressed his excitement.

The only doubt at this time is——

"What did Lian Xubai do to deserve such a generous reward?"

The petty officials tell everything they know.

"The villain only knows that this poisonous bee guest was specially ordered by the adults above to increase the reward of silver. This man is violent and vicious. It seems that he once gnawed alive the concubine of an adult with poisonous bees..."

This reason makes sense.

But Gu Sheng sneered in his heart.

"How many people have taken on this mission?"

"In front of us are Master Kuai Dao Zhou Song and Master Guang Feng San Sha. In addition, there are also several adults including Yan Song, Zhao He and others who are also participating in the pursuit."

The clerk rattled off several names in one breath, several of them were as famous as the Butcher, and had achieved little success in the Blood Refining Realm. As for the others, they were also masters of the Blood Refining Realm.

The corner of Gu Sheng's mouth curved in an intriguing arc, which made the clerk's heart tremble and he quickly lowered his head.

"Okay, I took it."

Gu Sheng's deep laughter sounded, which actually made the clerk's scalp feel numb.

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will register you right away."

"I wish you success!"

The clerk was busy for a while, and then respectfully handed over the knife-catching badge. Gu Sheng took the badge, turned and left, but glanced vaguely at the other side of the courtyard.

Of course, Gu Sheng knew that there was something wrong with this mission. So many famous knife-catchers flocked here, most likely because they wanted the knife-catchers to have a fight.

If it is an ordinary time.

Gu Sheng naturally avoids this kind of thing if he can, but at this moment, he has to admit that the temptation of Golden Body Kung Fu is a bit big for him. If he can get it, at least there will be no shortcomings in the body-building martial arts. The subsequent cultivation will be a smooth journey.

"Well...actually there is no danger to me. There can be no pitfalls in the mission itself. It's just that the knife-catchers may be some obstacles. With my current strength, these people are just like that in front of me. ”

"The worst thing is... reveal a little bit of your strength, and then give up your identity as a butcher."

This is the advantage of the vest. With the ability to transform and change bones, he can make a new vest at any time. Gu Sheng did not just go ahead without thinking, but decided to take on the task after considering the gains and losses in his heart.

As for the calculations of the people behind this, he doesn't care. As long as he can get what he wants, he won't lose anything anyway. If there is a chance in the future, he will slowly pay it back.

"Zhang Guangqun..."

Gu Sheng's eyes were dark and he walked out of the small courtyard with a giant ax on his back.

He knew that Zhang Guangqun was the person in charge of the knife catcher. He had seen him before, and just now he vaguely felt that there were eyes watching him.

Gu Sheng just wrote it down silently.

Now, he needs to complete the task as soon as possible to avoid being overtaken by others. The golden body skill is very important to Gu Sheng.

…

Deep in the courtyard of the knife-catcher.

Zhang Guangqun was standing respectfully next to Liu Yuanhu, with a faint look of astonishment in his eyes.

"Sir, do you think he discovered us just now?"

Gu Sheng's glance was naturally noticed by him, but the key point was that he was at the Blood Refining Realm, and Liu Yuanhu was a master at the Bone Refining Realm. How could a mere butcher have such a keen perception.

Liu Yuanhu's eyes showed a hint of interest.

"This butcher is quite talented. In the future, when we integrate the knife catchers, we might be able to take him under our wing."

Zhang Guangqun hesitated and said:

"According to the intelligence, this butcher's strength should be at the blood refining level. He is unruly and cruel by nature. I am afraid he is not the kind of person who is willing to be inferior to others."

"Unruly? It's just that I haven't seen the bigger world."

Liu Yuanhu sneered and stood up slowly.

"Guang Qun, your plan this time is good. You can use a small poisonous bee customer to test their quality. The knife catchers... don't need that many. What this county needs must be elites!"

"Even if this butcher knows the plan, there is nothing he can do about it. He is driven by selfish motives. He wants the reward of silver and secret books to be better than other knife hunters."

Hearing Liu Yuanhu's compliment, Zhang Guangqun quickly bowed.

"My lord, you have taught me well, but my superficial tricks make you laugh."

Liu Yuanhu smiled and waved his hand.

"I feel relieved to leave the sword catcher to Guang Qun. Work hard and I will help you break through the bone refining realm in the future. As expected, next year, the name of this county as acting magistrate will finally be worthy of its name!"

Liu Yuanhu smiled happily.

Zhang Guangqun was even more excited, his eyes burning.

The Bone Refining Realm was one of his lifelong pursuits, but it would be very difficult for him to advance to the Bone Refining Realm in Canghe County on his own. With Liu Yuanhu's help, his hopes would naturally increase greatly.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

Looking at Liu Yuanhu's back, Zhang Guangqun clasped his fists respectfully.

He turned to look at the knife-catching courtyard, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

"These knife hunters are all greedy people, and some of them are even criminals. We did not screen them carefully before, but we just wanted to use their hands to eliminate the gangsters in Canghe County."

"Now that the situation is gradually improving, it is natural to start slowly screening."

"This poisonous bee guest... is just the beginning. If you want to truly serve your Lord, you must show your worth!"

Zhang Guangqun stood with his hands behind his back.

He wouldn't attack the knife-catcher directly, that would be too ugly, but the invisible knife was the scariest thing. Standing on a high position, he could naturally control it at will. To a certain extent, this was also a test for all knife-catchers.

I want to change from a non-staff person to a real one from now on.

Then, you have to show your strength.

…

Gu Sheng got the information and quickly headed towards Baishi Town.

After completing several missions, Gu Sheng already has some experience. If he wants to catch someone, he must first go to the place where the intelligence showed that he last appeared. The poisonous bee guest Lian Xubai appeared in Baishi Town seven days ago.

Gu Sheng planned to investigate from there.

"Lian Xubai's poisonous bees are not simple. They need the best royal jelly to feed on, and they also need to take poison supplements from time to time to enhance their toxicity. For this operation, more detoxifying pills should be prepared."

Carrying the giant ax on his back, Gu Sheng was still very fast.

The flying thunder legs of the Dacheng realm allowed him to run with the sound of thunder, as fast as a cheetah. If he exploded with all his strength, he could go even faster in a short period of time.

Three days later.

Gu Sheng walked out of Baishi Town and inquired for a few days. He probably had a guess as to where the poisonous bees had gone.

It is estimated that the progress of the previous knife catchers may not be as fast as mine.

In the past three days, Gu Sheng also saw several knife hunters looking for traces of the poisonous bees. They were all competitors. In addition, Gu Sheng had a reputation for being vicious and no one talked to him.

Gu Sheng took the time.

He wanted to get the Golden Body Skill as soon as possible. Although he could also look for new body-building martial arts later, he didn't want to waste this time.

The next few days.

Gu Sheng successively inquired about Heishui Town and several villages and castles between the two towns, and finally confirmed his suspicion.

"Sure enough, Lian Xubai will not show up in Baishi Town for no reason. It seems that he wants to buy something to raise poisonous bees. In fact, he wants to buy medicine stones for his old mother to prolong her life. What is false is true, but what is true is true. Xu Zhi, he wants to guide the knife hunter to pursue it from other directions. "

"If you follow the clues about raising poisonous bees, you will eventually be led to Blackwater Town and lead to a dead end. By the time you react later, Lian Xubai has long erased all traces."

Gu Sheng, who had experienced information bombardment in his previous life, knew more about these methods than the average person.

"If my guess is correct, Lian Xubai should be hiding with his mother in Tianze Village outside Baishi Town."

With a more accurate target, Gu Sheng immediately no longer hesitated. The other knife hunters were not fools, and they had received the task a few days before him. There were always people who observed carefully. If they killed Lian Xubai first, it would be impossible... I have to be a robber for once!

Gu Sheng didn't want to do this unless he had to.

The sun sets.

Gu Sheng's figure appeared outside Tianze Village. The strong figure carrying a giant ax made many tenant farmers look with awe and fear in their eyes.

He ignored these people and walked slowly towards the village. The sword catcher's belt had certain privileges, and the warriors in this village would not interfere with Gu Sheng.

He was planning to ask someone in charge of the village affairs.

suddenly.

There was a dull sound in the distance, followed by a sad roar.

"mother!!"

"You deserve to die!!"

The sound was a bit sharp and harsh, which made Gu Sheng's expression change.

"I killed someone, but my mother is innocent. She has been doing good deeds all her life. She doesn't know anything. Is this how you murderers kill innocent people indiscriminately? What's the difference between you and me?"

There was a sarcastic laugh in response.

"Lian Xubai, you are so naive. You are such a vicious person, why don't you pretend to be filial to us here."

"That's right, your damn old lady only has one breath left anyway. We are just trying to reduce her pain. You should thank us!"

"How can an old guy like you be a good person who can teach you something like this? Stop being pretentious here and risk your life!"

Several different voices sounded from all directions.

"Ahh! I'll fight you!"

Lian Xubai's angry roar echoed in the village. The surrounding tenant farmers felt as if the sky had collapsed. They hurriedly took their hoes and farm tools to stay away. Some people even closed their doors and windows and only dared to observe through tiny gaps. Afraid of being affected.

Gu Sheng's eyes darkened.

Obviously, there are knife hunters who have found Lian Xubai, and there are more than one!

He kicked his legs together, like thunder suddenly appearing, and his speed soared.

The sound of weapons clashing in the distance and fists and kicks becoming more and more obvious. Roars and curses sounded from time to time. Gu Sheng could even faintly see patches of dark cloud-like poisonous bees, and he also recognized the identity of the knife-catcher who had arrived first. , three strong winds.

"You three beasts, I will remember you. I, Lian Xubai, swear that I will do my best to pester you for the rest of my life and make you unable to sleep for a moment!"

The resentful voice made people shudder.

In the distance, the dark cloud of poisonous bees suddenly split into three groups and desperately pestered the three evil spirits of the wind.

And then, a bloody and embarrassed figure ran towards him desperately.

Gu Sheng slowly took down the giant axe with a strange look.

"It's better to come early than to come at the right time. There are people rushing to die?"

Lian Xubai felt a chill and turned his head suddenly, only to find that a fierce and strong man holding a giant axe had blocked him at some point.

He turned pale immediately.

"Giant axe butcher!"
