Clues Strike, Clouds of Doubt Gather

A simple word, especially cold in the dark night. Looking at Ghost Seven rushing over, Xu Bai kept hooking his fingers, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.

There was no more wild wolf around, all were the corpses of wild wolves. When Ghost Seven rushed towards Xu Bai, the hair all over his body exploded, looking extremely terrifying.

The speed was extremely fast, and he was already close in the blink of an eye. The giant hands that had turned into wolf claws were grabbing at Xu Bai from top to bottom.

How big is a three-meter-tall erect wolf? How big are your hands? That hand was like a small millstone. If he grasped it firmly, it would definitely smash into pieces. The claws would make the wind sound. Xu Bai was getting closer and closer, and he was about to grab it. At this time, Xu Bai stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ghost Seven's wolf claws.

"Boom."

A huge sound rang out, bringing up strong winds around him. Where Xu Bai was standing, cracks appeared, spreading around like a spider web. At the same time, the ground began to collapse, and the surrounding wind brought up smoke, which filled the air.

But the claw stopped abruptly and did not advance any further.

"This is impossible!" Ghost Seven's eyes were filled with shock, and his face was full of incredible expressions. This scene was beyond his imagination.

Even if the opponent is a sixth-grade master, he will not be able to block his attack so easily. Even if he is a fifth-grade master, there will be some changes, at least one step back.

But now Xu Bai not only didn't regress, he didn't even move, he just held it down.

Ghost Seven's eyes stayed on the dark light on Xu Bai's body, and then his face changed slightly.

This is not a matter of strength, that layer of black light has a background.

Thinking of this, Ghost Seven wanted to retreat, but the next moment, he found that he could not retreat because Xu Bai held his wrist with his backhand, raised his foot at the same time, and kicked his chest.

Vajra Heart Demon Body's black light can be used both offensively and defensively. It is not just for defense. In terms of attack power, it is particularly powerful.

This kick was a solid kick, hitting Ghost Seven accurately, and a muffled sound came from the chest.

Ghost Seven only felt a pain in his chest, and then the pain gradually spread along his chest, and his whole body began to feel numb. "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?" Xu Bai pulled out Ghost-Head Saber and cut off Ghost Seven's arm with a knife.

Ghost-Head Saber on Hundred Blazing Poison, along with the blood, instantly poured into Devil May Cry's body.

Even a sixth-grade master will have huge side effects after being poisoned.

Ghost Seven only felt that his energy and blood were not flowing smoothly, and his mind felt dizzy. He hurriedly took two steps back and distanced himself.

The next moment, a powerful recovery force suddenly appeared, and his broken arm began to gradually grow fleshy buds, which were constantly intertwined. After only two short breaths, it was intact as before.

"You're recovering well." Xu Bai smiled, a little mysterious, making people confused about the situation.

Ghost Seven showed a ruthless look in his eyes. "It turns out you are the strongest here, but I underestimated you."

Originally, he thought that Xu Bai was just for hugging Yun Zihai's thigh, so he followed Yun Zihai all the time, but today he completely changed his mind.

This should not be Xu Bai hugging the thigh, but Yun Zihai hugging the Xu Bai thigh. Everything must be reversed.

The man in front of him was so powerful that it was beyond imagination. The most important thing was that he always maintained that calm and gentle momentum, never changing at all.

In this case, either you are overconfident, or you are strong enough and there is no need to worry about anything else.

Looking at his newly grown arm, Ghost Seven knew that the other party belonged to the second type.

"The strong recovery ability is really good." Xu Bai said again, then turned his head to look, and said something confusing to Yun Zihai: "It's been a long time since we played openly, so don't do anything yet to prevent him from escaping."

Yun Zihai and Chu Yu looked at each other and expressed that they did not understand the meaning. However, Xu Bai had already spoken, and they were no longer paying attention. They were just standing by to prevent Ghost Seven from escaping.

"What do you mean?" Ghost Seven was slightly stunned, unable to understand what the other party was thinking.

"It's not interesting. I just feel that there is finally someone who can let me play openly." Xu Bai wiped the blade of Ghost-Head Saber with his hand, and the smile on his face did not change at all, "The enemies I encountered before were all solved with a few moves. Today, you are particularly lucky to be able to taste all my abilities."

After the words fell, everyone present was stunned and shuddered.

When a person uses a particularly calm tone, but says devilish words, this extreme contrast will make people feel particularly frightened.

"You are insulting me!" Ghost Seven finally reacted, with an angry look on his face, and rushed towards Xu Bai.

"Not convinced?" Xu Bai raised Ghost-Head Saber and passed it across Ghost Seven's neck.

This sword seems to be weak and weak, but it is reflected in the virtual and real conversion of Purple Firmament Inversion Chaos Yin-Yang Heart Method. In fact, the strength of this sword can be said to be shocking.

Ghost Seven also saw that the sword was weak, but he did not let down his guard. He wanted to withdraw his defense, but then he saw Xu Bai in front of him, something changed.

In front of him, Xu Bai suddenly became full of loopholes, with flaws all over his body, and every movement was filled with a large number of weaknesses.

This weakness is intuitive and can be seen by any individual.

For Ghost Seven, Xu Bai at this moment is like a tempting delicacy, and he can't help but want to attack.

The giant claws rushed forward and grabbed one of the weak points. The next moment, he felt a pain in his neck, and his head flew high into the sky, drew a graceful arc, and fell to the ground.

"What kind of ability is this!"

The headless body retreated quickly, and the head that fell to the ground opened its mouth and let out an angry roar.

Before this, he had investigated Xu Bai, and even investigated it very clearly, but he really never thought that Xu Bai still had these abilities.

What he investigated was always Xu Bai's revealed abilities, such as Vajra Heart Demon Body's black light, Xu Bai's sword skills, and body skills.

But similar to Cosmic Shift and mental abilities, they are hidden in the dark side and cannot be investigated by surface investigation unless they experience it personally, and those who have experienced it personally have long since turned into ashes.

The headless body twisted, and a new head grew out. Ghost Seven's vitality was beyond imagination, and its recovery ability was extremely strong. Even if the head was cut off, it could recover as before.

"It's really good. With such a strong recovery ability, the more I look at it, the more I feel greedy. It's a pity that I suddenly lost interest in you." Xu Bai smiled and said, "A sandbag who only knows how to get beaten has no interest in me."

He suddenly felt uninterested.

To be honest, after entering this circle, he met many people, but none of them had fully tasted all his methods, so that he could not accurately measure his own strength.

Although he knew that he was strong, how strong he was really needed to be compared carefully.

I originally thought that I could give it a try today and be aware of it, but now it seems that the wolf in front of me can only be regarded as a qualified sandbag, without even the ability to fight back.

"Too weak." Xu Bai said seriously.

Yun Zihai and Chu Yu's faces froze.

"Brother Xu, you are really a sweetheart."

"These words came from the young master's mouth. If it were another person, I would have to go up and kick him hard."

The Ghost Seven in front of him is really not weak in strength. Whether it is strength or speed, he is currently the best. Coupled with his unimaginable recovery ability, even if he encounters that kind of protracted battle, he can still wear people to death.

But the opponent was Xu Bai, and the evaluation was just three words, too weak.

That is to say, what Xu Bai said was probably true. Otherwise, they would all think that the other party was showing off.

Ghost Seven recovered, and when he heard Xu Bai say these words, his face was full of anger, as if he had been trampled hard.

At this moment, coupled with this encounter, he knew in his heart that the other party was indeed much stronger than him.

Although he is very angry, he is not a person who is not afraid of death. On the contrary, he is very afraid of death, so after being angry, he quickly regains his composure.

run! In his mind, only this word remained.

You must run, and you must run far away, and you will come back to settle accounts with them later. Let's solve this dilemma first today.

His recovery ability is very strong, but he knows in his heart that this ability is not unlimited recovery.

If you continue like this, you will fall here sooner or later.

No one does not cherish his own life, and Ghost Seven is the same. Thinking of this, he turned around without hesitation and prepared to escape.

The moment he turned around, Xu Bai had already seen what he was thinking. Four-Directional Step Technique used it, opened the door wide, and came to Ghost Seven in a few steps with a murderous aura among the military.

"I remember you said before, shut me up, right?" Xu Bai's voice was calm, but this calmness was filled with creepiness.

Ghost-Head Saber was raised, the sharp light of the sword was dazzling, especially eye-catching in this suburb.

Severing and Rupturing Two Styles, coupled with the black light of Vajra Heart Demon Body, is powerful enough.

Ghost Seven felt pain all over his body. The next moment, his vision was getting shorter, his limbs had been cut off by Xu Bai, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

"Recover quickly, recover quickly!"

Looking at Xu Bai's smiling face, Ghost Seven shouted crazily in his heart.

The restorative powers kicked in and his arms and legs grew back.

But before he could make any move, he found a foot stepping on his chest. The black light on it was powerful and destructive, and his flesh and blood were splashing everywhere.

"Take your time, I want to see you recover bit by bit."

This voice was like the whisper of a devil, making Ghost Seven shiver.

The next moment, his limbs were all broken again.

The resilience continues, but every time it recovers, it is cut off again by Xu Bai.

At the same time, the destructive power of Wu Guang on the foot that stepped on his chest was not weak at all, making him unable to move.

At this moment, he deeply realized what despair meant and what it meant to be helpless? His times are numbered.

Looking at Xu Bai's smiling face, Ghost Seven gritted his teeth and finally said something.

"Please... let me go."

After saying these five words, he felt weak all over, and finally lay flat on the ground, making a messy posture.

Forget it, just beg for mercy.

Better than dead.

Thinking like this, Ghost Seven is even more messed up.

A pill was thrown in an arc and fell into Ghost Seven's mouth.

The elixir melted in the mouth, and Ghost Seven shuddered, his face full of shock.

"What did you feed me just now?"

The elixir that melted in his mouth was gone. He was now very frightened. What did the other party want to do?

Xu Bai smiled and said, "It's just an antidote pill."

As he said that, Xu Bai controlled Ghost-Head Saber and broke Ghost Seven's teeth.

"When you beg for mercy, you have to look like you're begging for mercy. That's not what you're asking me for. Do you understand?"

Ghost Seven can recover, he is really in pain.

There is a saying that goes well, toothache is not a disease, the pain is really terrible.

What's more, Xu Bai directly used Ghost-Head Saber to smash all his teeth. The pain was worse than ripping out his heart.

After a while, Ghost Seven returned to normal, but this time he was too scared to even look at Xu Bai.

Xu Bai turned around and said, "Brother Yun, let me just say that no matter how evil a person is, he will become honest after being beaten up."

Yun Zihai's mouth twitched, he walked forward, looked at Ghost Seven who was extremely afraid of them, and said, "Tell me what you know. I really want to know what kind of organization you are."

"We are from the Great Yue Kingdom, members of the Great Yue Kingdom Dark Building." Ghost Seven said quickly.

He saw Xu Bai's methods, and in order to avoid himself being punished, he could only answer quickly.

"Dark Building? What is that?" Xu Bai frowned when he heard this.

Ghost Seven said in shock, "You are so strong, but you still don't know what Dark Building is?"

He asked this question subconsciously because he couldn't help it anymore.

In his mind, Xu Bai's strength is really boundless. With such strength, he doesn't even know what Dark Building is. This really doesn't make sense.

Unless you are a novice, or someone who has just entered this circle, you will not know what Dark Building is. How can someone with the strength of Xu Bai be a newcomer? Although he knew some information about Xu Bai and knew that Xu Bai joined by chance, there was a piece of information about him being with the Azure Cloud Academy and Vajra Temple disciples. Didn't he know about it during this time?

Of course Ghost Seven doesn't know, because all this is just his subjective understanding. In his understanding, as long as he is powerful, he may know Dark Building.

"You can understand it as Bureau of Surveillance of the Great Yue Kingdom, but it involves a wider scope than Bureau of Surveillance." Yun Zihai thought for a while, organized his words for a while, and told Xu Bai the content of Dark Building.

The so-called Dark Building is Great Yue Kingdom's organization that manages the world and weird evil spirits. It is very similar to Bureau of Surveillance of the Great Chu Kingdom.

There are similarities, but there are also differences. The most obvious one is that the control content of Dark Building is wider than that of Bureau of Surveillance.

Intelligence, assassination, undercover...

All these dark side things are done by Dark Building, which is why it got this name.

"In other words, this Yunlai Prefecture still belongs to the Great Chu Kingdom on the surface, but in fact it has been penetrated by Dark Building internally. It can even be said that it is controlled by Dark Building." Xu Bai touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Yun Zihai nodded without hesitation, indicating that this was indeed the case. If Ghost Seven said it was true, it was very likely that this place would become one of Dark Building's campsites.

"You should know the personnel of your organization here and their distribution." Xu Bai asked.

Unexpectedly, Ghost Seven shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he did not know clearly.

"For safety reasons, we only contact specific people. The only person who really knows is the person in charge here, but we don't know where the person in charge is."

Speaking of which, Ghost Seven also said that everything he said was true.

"Come on, open your mouth." Xu Bai smiled.

Ghost Seven was stunned and subconsciously closed his mouth, but when he saw Xu Bai lift Ghost-Head Saber, he opened his mouth again.

The drug obtained from Qing Xue was thrown out and fell into the mouth of Ghost Seven.

Ghost Seven's eyes widened, and then the pain hit him. He couldn't help but tighten his body and began to resist the pain.

But if the pain can be resisted, it is not called pain. This kind of pain is like throwing a person into an ant nest and letting the ants eat it, making him scream one after another.

Thousand-Faced Poison Lord recognized this medicine when he saw it before, but he probably only recognized it.

Because Xu Bai did not discover the formula of this medicine after understanding Hundred Poisons True Explanation. Obviously, this is a secret of the royal family.

The detoxification pill cannot detoxify this kind of poison, and it should not be considered poison. Apart from pain, it does not cause other harm.

Even Ghost Seven's strong recovery power cannot resist this pain.

Xu Bai couldn't help but have a high opinion of this pill, and said to himself that if there is a chance in the future, he would have to get some from Qing Xue.

It is simply a must-have when traveling around the world.

The pain continued. During this process, Ghost Seven couldn't even speak. He could only wait until the pain disappeared, then Ghost Seven trembled and stared at Xu Bai in fear.

"I really don't know, I really don't know anything, please, don't torture me anymore."

At this moment, it was as if the roles were reversed, Xu Bai felt like he was about to become a villain.

"I only know that Zheng Jin is one of my people, and those who sneaked up on you in the woods were also sent by me. I really don't know about the rest."

While talking, Ghost Seven even wanted to cry.

"Buy one, get one free, one more." Xu Bai was unmoved at all, and took out another pill, ready for Ghost Seven to take it again.

But before he could make any move, Ghost Seven shook his head wildly, and then finally was willing to tell the truth.

"I said, I know a family, it's Chen Family. They have been bribed by us. Other than that, I don't know anything. By the way, that family is run by a woman. Her name is Red Dust. She is best at charm and tonic."

Xu Bai Hearing this, he put the pills in his hand back into the bottle and said with a smile, "That's right. I like honest people, otherwise you will waste more of my pills."

"Brother Xu, I know Chen Family." Yun Zihai frowned and said.

Xu Bai raised his hand and said, "Find a quiet place later and we will talk slowly. Now, let's deal with this guy first."

Ghost Seven heard this, opened his mouth wide, and said, "Spare your life, I know everything you want to know. Please spare my life. I promise to hide far away and never go against you again."

When these words came out, no one among the three people present answered.

Xu Bai threw Ghost-Head Saber in his hand to Chu Yu and said, "Kill him until he can no longer be resurrected."

Chu Yu hurriedly took it. He was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and came to Ghost Seven.

During the whole process, not a word was said.

"Why don't you bargain with me this time?" Xu Bai teased.

Chu Yu turned his head and said seriously, "There is no reason."

Last time, she could use it as a more complicated excuse, but this time it was different. This time she really couldn't find an excuse, and she was afraid that Xu Bai would glare at her.

"You have to know that everything I do is for your own good. Only in this way can you live well in this cruel world." Xu Bai looked at Chu Yu's expression, and finally couldn't help but added.

Rising Dusk King is a man with great talents and great ideas, but his daughter is like a blank piece of paper.

If it weren't for the emperor's teachings in the Imperial Palace, there would be problems with killing people.

Since you have accepted other people's books, let Chu Yu learn more.

Chu Yu nodded vigorously and said movedly, "I understand."

After saying that, he raised Ghost-Head Saber and struck Ghost Seven on the head.

Ghost-Head Saber was sharp, Ghost Seven's head was chopped off.

But the recovery power was indeed very strong, and he began to recover quickly. However, his chest was stepped on by Xu Bai and restrained by that layer of black light, and he could not move at all.

"Come again!" Xu Bai shouted.

Chu Yu gritted his teeth, and finally raised Ghost-Head Saber, and cut off Ghost Seven's head with one knife after another.

The whole process was very cruel, and the picture looked crazy.

Chu Yu swung out one knife after another. She felt that her nerves were becoming numb. At the same time, she seemed to feel that her personality had also changed.

Ghost Seven's recovery power also gradually weakened. Until the last knife passed, Ghost Seven could no longer recover and turned into a corpse.

Chu Yu punched Ghost-Head Saber on the ground, breathing heavily, with cold sweat on his forehead.

In the Imperial Palace, the emperor taught her to kill, but it was all done with one knife. Unlike now, the repeated torture made her have some changes in her world view.

Xu Bai can also see that Chu Yu only needs to stabilize her mood now, and then wait for her to slowly absorb it, and today's harvest will be able to produce enough transformation.

Sure enough, practice is the best opportunity to test theory.

"Let's change a place, a safer place, and discuss how to find clues from that family next." Xu Bai looked at the darkness around him and said.

Yun Zihai nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after we go back to the Yamen."

Several people stopped staying and walked directly towards Prefectural Office.

Yunlai Prefecture.

Yun Zihai closed the door and lit the oil lamp on the table. When the light of the oil lamp illuminated the room, he poured a glass of water for Xu Bai and Chu Yu.

"Brother Xu, what are your plans next?"

The information they just obtained has made it clear that Chen Family is the source of the clues, so now, they have to discuss a plan.

Of course, everyone here also knows that whether what Ghost Seven said is true or false is a question worth exploring.

If it is fake and Chen Family is just a funerary object that he wanted to bite out before he died, then he will find another plan.

If it were true, that would be great.

"Actually, you don't need to ask me." Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Brother Yun, don't you have any ideas?"

He was just here to help, not the leader. He was asked about everything, as if his opinion was important.

"Actually, my thoughts are the same as Brother Xu's before. It is better to investigate secretly than to conduct a secret investigation." Yun Zihai said, "But if it is Chen Family, then there is another possibility."

As he spoke, Yun Zihai told the general situation of the Chen Family one by one.

Chen Family, in Yunlai Prefecture, is also a big player.

The business he operates is spread throughout every county under Yunlai Prefecture.

And this Chen Family is still a unique business, Paper Figure Maker.

The so-called paper-making has many different names among the people, such as paper-making, paper-making, paper-making, paper-making library, cover-making, color paste, etc.

In a broad sense, paper-making includes colorful doors, mourning sheds, stages, shop front decorations, plaques and figures, paper horses, dramas, dance equipment, kites, lanterns, etc.

Zhizhi in the narrow sense refers to funeral paper, which mainly refers to paper products used for burning paper figures, paper horses, money trees, gold and silver mountains, archways, gatehouses, houses, poultry, etc. used in sacrifices and funeral activities.

What Chen Family does is paper binding in a narrow sense.

Originally, the profits in this business were not very high, but once something becomes a monopoly, its profits will rise accordingly. The same is true for the Chen Family's business.

"Paper tie..." Xu Bai thought of Liu Xu and asked, "What's different about that?"

"That White-Clothed Man is dead." Yun Zihai said, "If Chen Family is true, we will be alert immediately. No matter whether it is a secret visit or an open investigation, we can't find out the specific information, so we might as well wait and wait."

Xu Bai frowned and said, "You mean to wait."

Yun Zihai nodded and said, "If they want to cause trouble, they will definitely continue. But this time we are no longer like before, without any goals. This time we can narrow the scope to the Chen Family. Once there is movement, we can quickly discover it."

Xu Bai After thinking about it carefully, this is not impossible.

Once you have a goal, you can concentrate on it, and now you have narrowed the goal to the Chen Family.

Judging from the current situation, the enemy is in the dark and we are clear. We can only wait for the enemy to expose themselves first before they have a chance to take action.

"Then it's settled. By the way, have you recovered?" Xu Bai looked at Chu Yu next to him and asked.

Chu Yu Ever since he entered the house, he has been sitting aside without speaking, just with his head lowered.

It wasn't until Xu Bai spoke that she raised her head, her face full of confusion.

"I seem to be... about to break through."

Xu Bai: "?"

Yun Zihai: "?"

"No, I've already made a breakthrough." Chu Yu's confusion disappeared, she scratched her head, and then, a surge of momentum rose up in her body.

It is much stronger than before.

"Level 5?" Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

Yun Zihai looked at Xu Bai, the meaning was obvious, where did such a talented person come from? Chu Yu nodded vigorously. "After what happened today, I seem to have seen a lot more clearly. Thanks to the young master's patient guidance, otherwise, I would have to stay in this realm for a long time."

Xu Bai looked up at the ceiling and laughed awkwardly, "You're welcome, you are quite talented. If you were another person, you might not have the same effect."

Not only is the talent good, but for this talent, it can only be said that like father, like daughter.

She is indeed the daughter of Rising Dusk King.

"Brother Xu, this girl's talent is really top-notch." Yun Zihai sighed, "I was stuck in the sixth-grade realm for so long. It wasn't until I took over the Yunlai Prefecture government order that I finally untied my knot and stepped into the fifth-grade. I didn't expect that this girl would become a fifth-grade master overnight."

Xu Bai: "You are also at level 5?"

Yun Zihai said strangely, "Although I am not as talented as Brother Xu, I am still a genius like Academy. This is normal."

When he said this, he felt quite sad, thinking of what his teacher had said to him before.

In this world, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. Never be a frog in the well, but see a bigger and farther world.

At first, he thought the teacher was afraid that he would be too proud.

It wasn't until the day he met Xu Bai that he finally understood that what the teacher said was completely right.

Able to fight and strategize, without any hesitation.

Whether it's character or strength, they are all above him.

From that day on, he felt that he should be more humble in the future.

Of course, at this point, Xu Bai itself does not know.

If Xu Bai knew about it, he would definitely find it funny.

No matter how talented you are, no matter how fast you practice, can you still compare to cheaters? Xu Bai said that it is normal.

Yun Zihai was a little lost in thought, and unconsciously his thoughts were distorted.

At this time, it was getting later and later.

"Brother Xu, since there are already signs, I think Shadow Courier Station should leave it to Liu Er for the time being. I will call him back tomorrow, which can be regarded as returning your people to your hands again." Yun Zihai said.

"Okay, but you can't charge me for living during this period." Xu Bai smiled.

Chu Yu looked left and right, looking quite disappointed. "Shadow Courier Station is so good..."

As a girl who grew up in the Imperial Palace, she has long been accustomed to a life of glory and wealth. A life like Shadow Courier Station is what she is most curious about.

Seeing Chu Yu's appearance, Xu Bai patted Chu Yu on the head. "You can't show your thoughts at any time, at least the expression on your face. Don't show it, or show the opposite expression. From now on, if you are happy, you will become sad, and if you are sad, you will become happy."

Chu Yu's face was full of question marks, but Xu Bai had already said it, so he could only follow it and tried his best to put on a smile, "I'm so happy."

Xu Bai: "..."

Inside Prefectural Office, everyone is discussing.

Chen Family, far away from Prefectural Office, at this moment, there is a charming woman wearing pink clothes, looking at the moonlight in the sky.

She held a wooden sign in her hand, which was slowly turning into ashes.

This is the nameplate of the Dark Building member. As long as the member dies, the nameplate will turn into ashes, and the holder of this nameplate is very particular.

For example, if she and Ghost Seven know each other now, then only they two have each other's nameplates, and no one else has.

Its purpose is to protect the safety of other members, but now Ghost Seven's nameplate is gone, which means that Ghost Seven is dead.

"I knew I would lose it." Red Dust sighed, looking into the darkness with his charming eyes.

"Somebody come!"
