Chapter 65: Murder on a Dark and Windy Night
But how fast was Chen Xiao?
Before he took two steps back, the long sword in Chen Xiao's hand had already penetrated the other person's body.
Until his death, he never figured out why someone was so bold as to come to the Zhao family to assassinate them.
After killing the two, Chen Xiao immediately lowered his body and summoned the black fire. After completely devouring the true energy in the two, he continued to go deeper inside.
However, the cultivation of these two guys was too low, and it did not give Chen Xiao much benefit, but only brought Chen Xiao one step closer to the middle stage of the nine-star martial artist.
After going deeper into the inside for a distance, Chen Xiao encountered more and more people. Along the way, he met and killed as many as eight people.
The true energy in the bodies of these eight people directly made Chen Xiao's cultivation reach the level of the middle stage of the nine-star martial artist, and began to advance towards the late stage.
Until now, no one from the Zhao family found anything unusual or wrong.
However, Chen Xiao did not find the direct descendants of the Zhao family, let alone the elders of the Zhao family who had reached the level of martial artists.
This made Chen Xiao a little depressed. Originally, he planned to defeat these people one by one, and then after absorbing their cultivation, he would upgrade himself to the level of military generals, and then deal with Zhao Yuanhao and others.
But now it seems that this abacus has failed.
Thinking of the previous conversation between the two people, Chen Xiao fixed his eyes on the Zhao family's meeting hall.
The location of the meeting hall is generally in the central area of the family, and it is built more luxuriously and is not difficult to identify. After jumping onto a roof to check, Chen Xiao confirmed the specific direction of the hall and rushed there quickly.
Along the way, if he met a lone person, he would kill him directly. If he met a group of people who were not sure to kill them in an instant, Chen Xiao would avoid them directly.
After nearly half an incense stick of time, Chen Xiao finally arrived outside the Zhao family's meeting hall.
Looking inside, although the door was closed, the lights were bright inside, and it looked like there were at least 20 to 30 people.
Obviously, all the powerful people in the Zhao family gathered here.
This time, Chen Xiao's goal was these powerful people. As for those women with cultivation, or those whose cultivation was lower than the martial arts level and would not pose any threat to him, Chen Xiao simply ignored them.
He was not a murderer. Those women and children posed no threat to him, and even the role of improving his cultivation was minimal. Chen Xiao was naturally too lazy to waste time and energy.
With light footsteps and the help of a few people nearby, Chen Xiao quickly came to a dark corner outside the meeting hall. Although he could not see the situation inside, he could vaguely hear the voices.
"Okay, let's do it this way. Yongchang, you contact the Qin and Lin families and ask them to help us. If they don't want to, at least let them not help the Chen family, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The voice of Zhao Yuanhao was low, and then Zhao Yongchang's voice was immediately heard: "Okay, I'll go now!"
"Yongfu, you go and prepare later, let all the guards be arranged, and all set off at midnight. Tonight, bloodbath the Chen family. Before that, you must keep it secret and don't let the wind leak out!"
"Yes!"
...
As the voices inside rang, the cold light in Chen Xiao's eyes became more and more intense.
Even Chen Xiao didn't expect that the Zhao family would be so decisive!
After losing the ring match during the day, Chen Xiao thought that these people would at least hesitate for a few days before taking action, but he didn't expect that they would plan to take action tonight!
Moreover, they actually contacted the Qin and Lin families, one of the four major families. The strength of the four major families is equivalent. Once those two families help the Zhao family, the Chen family will be in real danger.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao came tonight, otherwise he might have stayed at home and been killed directly.
Thinking of this, even Chen Xiao had a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
Creak...
The crisp sound of the door opening suddenly sounded.
Then, a crisp sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Chen Xiao's aura instantly restrained, and he looked outside. It was Zhao Yongfu from the Zhao family, the father of Zhao Yun and Zhao Peng.
Obviously, he went out to mobilize the guards and prepare to attack the Chen family.
Looking back, the voices in the meeting hall continued to appear, and Chen Xiao followed Zhao Yongfu silently.
Soon, he walked out of the yard and entered a long corridor.
There was a lantern placed at a distance on both sides of the corridor, which was not dim. Chen Xiao couldn't continue to follow behind, so he simply turned over from another position, quickly came to the end of the corridor, and slowly ambushed in the shadows.
At this moment, Chen Xiao's aura was completely restrained, and even if someone stood next to Chen Xiao, they might not be able to detect it.
Moreover, this was the middle of the Zhao family mansion, so Zhao Yongfu naturally had nothing to worry about, and walked in front of Chen Xiao with big strides.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed through the bushes beside him, and instantly caught Zhao Yongfu's eyes.
Even before Zhao Yongfu could say a word, the long sword pierced his chest directly.
Looking at the figure in black night clothes standing in front of him, Zhao Yongfu opened his mouth, and only a large amount of blood flowed out. He didn't even have the strength to shout.
Bang...
Zhao Yongfu fell to the ground, and his breath quickly weakened.
Chen Xiao picked up Zhao Yongfu who had fallen to the ground, and immediately retreated into the shadows on the side, hiding his body directly in the bushes.
After doing this, Chen Xiao summoned the black fire, quickly absorbed all the remaining true qi in Zhao Yongfu's body, and used the Void Body Refining Technique to continuously refine the true qi, rapidly strengthening his own cultivation.
As an eight-star martial artist, Zhao Yongfu's true qi in his body is naturally very rich. This time alone, four dragon scales in Chen Xiao's body were lit up, and Chen Xiao's cultivation level soared all the way, breaking through directly to the peak of the nine-star martial artist. He was only a little bit away from trying to sprint to the martial arts realm.
At this time, Chen Xiao already had nine rotating true qi cyclones in his body. These cyclones greatly increased Chen Xiao's speed of refining true qi, so that Chen Xiao's cultivation speed at this moment was even comparable to those top geniuses above the ninth heaven.
However, if he breaks through to the general realm, he will have to condense the tenth cyclone again, which makes Chen Xiao frown slightly. If he just breaks through normally, Chen Xiao can just absorb the cultivation of one or two people, but if he wants to condense another cyclone, he may have to find a place where no one will disturb him to try.
After all, even Chen Xiao has never tried to condense a cyclone while breaking through a major realm.
At this moment, another sound of footsteps came slowly from a distance, and Chen Xiao lowered his body and immediately disappeared into the bushes.
