Chapter 97
"Master Xu! Master Hu!"
The onlookers saw the domineering black cloud cloaks on the two men, and their faces suddenly became stern, and they all bowed and saluted.
"Well, let's go, it's just a big turtle, what's there to see."
Xu Wenying nodded to the crowd and waved his hand to signal the guys who were watching the fun to leave.
Hu Qingyun took two steps forward, staring at the dragon-like single-horned head of the dragon turtle, clenching his fists tightly, and the monstrous hatred in his eyes seemed to be real.
The master's pressure that escaped was like a surging wave, pressing Fang Xu and others nearby to not dare to breathe.
After staring for a while.
The elegant man suddenly chuckled, and then laughed wildly at the sky like a madman, muttering to himself:
"Good death! Good death!"
"Once this damn beast dies, the spirit of my deceased wife can finally rest in peace..."
While speaking, Hu Qingyun's face was already full of tears, without any trace of his usual elegance.
Seeing this, Xu Wenying at the side sighed and gently patted his old friend's shoulder to comfort him.
More than a hundred years ago, the childhood sweetheart of General Hu died in the line of duty during an outfield mission of the Demon Suppression Division, and died at the hands of the dragon turtle in the Jiaolong Palace.
Hu Qingyun was a seed of infatuation. After his fiancee died, he never married, and only wanted to avenge his deceased wife.
However, the dragon turtle had been hiding in the Tianshui River and rarely went out.
At the same time, its shell defense is extremely terrifying, and it is equipped with a strange demon armor, so its survivability is unsolvable.
Even though Hu Qingyun has the strength of a high-level Xiantian Realm, he has been helpless with the dragon turtle.
Now, this life-and-death feud that has been accumulated for a hundred years has suddenly been avenged by others.
It is understandable that Hu Qingyun would lose his composure like this.
After a while.
Hu Qingyun wiped the tears from his face.
After adjusting his mood, he turned to look at Fang Xu and others, and said kindly:
"Did you guys bring back the body of this dragon turtle? Do you know who killed it?
I see that there are many traces of lightning strikes on the shell of this dragon turtle. Could it be a Linghai Venerable from the Xu family?"
"Eh? The heir of the Xu family?"
Xu Wenying couldn't help but look surprised when he heard it.
If this is true, the benefactor who killed the dragon turtle must be the same person as the soul master he met in Changle County that day?
With the terrifying power of the Xu family's thunder method, it is not a problem to penetrate the defense of the dragon turtle.
"This..."
Fang Xu and others looked at each other with hesitation.
Then he told the two of them about the trip to Shuiyunze.
The two generals of the Demon Suppression Division widened their eyes and looked unbelievable.
"Wait... I shouldn't have heard it wrong, right?"
Xu Wenying took a deep breath, looked up at Fang Da Huzi, and said in a deep voice:
"You mean, this seriously injured innate dragon turtle was defeated by Gu Cheng alone?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Hu Qingyun on the side exclaimed and interrupted Fang Xu's explanation.
"I know the strength of Jiao Wushang very well. Even if it is seriously injured, its strength is not inferior to that of an ordinary innate master.
What is the cultivation level of that kid named Gu? How could he finally kill Jiao Wushang?!"
"Lord Hu, you don't know that Brother Gu is proficient in many martial arts spells and his strength is far beyond his peers. It is impossible to judge by common sense."
Fang Xu bowed to General Hu and explained everything:
"In addition to the dragon turtle in the innate realm, the three water monsters in the mortal realm and the traitor Yan Qianhu who colluded with the demons were all killed by Brother Gu alone."
After saying that, Su Yanan and others on the side blushed and lowered their heads gently.
For this field mission, these so-called "old guys" are here to win by doing nothing.
Apart from assisting in the battle with the dragon turtle and helping in transporting the dragon turtle's corpse, he really didn't do anything else. He relied on a new blood C.
"This... are you serious?"
Hu Qingyun's eyes were dull, and his well-maintained face was blank.
If this is true, even if the water-containing innate dragon turtle is not counted.
Just looking at the three monsters and one person killed by Gu Cheng, the merits he obtained in this final assessment are enough to rank in the top five!
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Just when Hu Qingyun was shocked by this horrifying result and doubted his life, Xu Pianjiang on the side burst into laughter on the spot.
"Hahahaha... good boy! You really make me proud!
It's quite amazing that he can have such terrifying strength at such a young age."I'm so young!"
Xu Wenying smiled and patted Hu Qingyun on the shoulder, with a smirk on his face:
"Old fox, don't forget what you said before, you must accept the loss, you can't cheat~"
"..."
Hu Qingyun's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Originally, because of the revenge, the extremely happy heart also became less wonderful.
"Of course, we are old friends, I won't deliberately embarrass you..."
Xu Wenying smiled and pointed at Sun Baichuan who came late.
"Don't you have an adopted son?
As the saying goes, the son pays for the father's debt. If you have bad teeth and can't eat hard things, you can let your adopted son do it for you. "
Hearing this, Hu Qingyun's eyes moved slightly, raised his eyes and looked at his adopted son, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Adoptive...adoptive father? "
Sun Baichuan couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly a very bad premonition rose in his heart...
-----------------
Demon Suppression Division Office, Courtyard No. 17, Wuzi.
Gu Cheng returned to the small courtyard and immediately went back to his room to catch up on sleep.
These days, he has been in charge of keeping watch. Even with his current cultivation, he feels a little tired mentally.
Cao Jianxin, holding a three-foot green sword, diligently practiced sword in the yard.
After this life-and-death crisis, he has a new interest in "Liuyun Sword Technique" After coming back, he had to consolidate his insights so that his swordsmanship could be further improved.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Cao Jianxin put away his sword and hurriedly opened the door.
He was slightly startled to find that the visitors were two lieutenants wearing black cloud cloaks and a captain wearing a golden crown.
Then he immediately realized that the three people must be looking for Gu Cheng, so he politely invited them in.
Gu Cheng, who was taking a nap, heard the noise outside and hurried out of the room.
"Hahaha! Xiao Gu, you really gave me a big surprise!"
Xu Wenying came up with a laugh, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with approval:
"When I was in Changle County, I guessed that you had been pretending to be a pig, but I didn't expect you to be so hidden! "
Gu Cheng smiled awkwardly and was about to say something.
The somewhat unfamiliar elegant lieutenant suddenly took two steps forward, clasped his hands in front of him, and bowed to the ground.
"Young Master Gu, please accept Hu's greetings!"
"Eh? Sir, what are you doing..."
Gu Cheng quickly helped Hu Qingyun up, and at the same time looked at Xu Wenying with a puzzled look.
General Xu explained it briefly, which made him understand the cause and effect of the matter.
"It turns out that I helped others to get revenge again unintentionally."
Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with a strange color, but soon returned to normal.
In this fucked-up world of demons and warriors, almost everyone has relatives and friends who died in the demon disaster.
Examples like General Hu who have no way to get revenge are too common.
"Young Master Gu, I heard that my adopted son had a feud with you before?
Alas, this is all my fault for not disciplining him properly. The 50,000 taels of silver he owes you, including the principal and interest, can be replaced with this. "
Hu Qingyun looked apologetic, took out a jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Gu Cheng.
Then he looked at Sun Baichuan behind him and shouted angrily:
"You rebellious son! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to Young Master Gu?"
