Chapter 51: Human tragedy shocked the ancient city

Views:

After getting Jin Hongze's Qiankun Ring, Ye Zan cracked the Qiankun Ring while watching the drama that continued to be performed below.

Jiang Ziliu nearly broke through the wall and jumped into the pond behind with a ball of flame. Fortunately, the flame was just ordinary fire. After Jiang Ziliu jumped into the pond, the fire on his body was immediately extinguished, revealing a badly burned appearance.

As for Jin Hongze, it was also at the most dangerous moment. Facing the assassin's sword, he had no idea how to dodge it. With a trace of survival instinct, he could only open his mouth and spit out a ball of flame, trying to force the assassin back.

There was no other way. He was an alchemy cultivator, but he suddenly lost his physical body. Coupled with the erosion of the blood mist before, it was not easy for Jin Hongze to know how to breathe fire.

But this ball of fire obviously had no effect on the assassin. The sword thrust did not flinch at all, and instantly pierced Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul like a gourd.

Jin Hongze screamed, suddenly showed a ferocious look on his face, and shouted: "Die with me!"

Survival was no longer possible, and there was no chance of even converting to a ghost path. Jin Hongze had only one option left, and that was to have someone to support him before he died.

Self-destruction of the Nascent Soul, this method of dying with the enemy, can be regarded as the basic version of the magic method of disintegration of demons. During the catastrophe thousands of years ago, it was the only way for many low-level practitioners to threaten powerful enemies. A golden elixir master's self-explosion of the golden elixir is enough to severely damage a Yuanying ancestor, and the Yuanying ancestor's self-destruction of the Yuanying is also quite a threat to the power of the Yuanshen.

I don’t know who invented this desperate method at first. Anyway, after its birth, it gave many people an additional way to retain their last bit of dignity when facing powerful enemies.

Later, based on this method of dying together, people in the demonic path improved it, and it became the great method of dismantling demons that shocked countless people.

Jin Hongze was also completely desperate. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not blow up his Nascent Soul. But there is no other way. Instead of dying unwillingly, it is better to take the enemy and turn into ashes together.

Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul was like a broken glass doll, covered with large and small cracks, and thousands of rays of light instantly bloomed from the cracks.

The assassin saw that the situation was bad and wanted to run away, but Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul held tightly to the sword that pierced his body and refused to let go. Jiang Ziliu on the other side had just emerged from the pond and had not had time to evaporate the water on his body. Everything seemed to be frozen suddenly, Taoism was flowing in the space, and there was a faint "rumbling" Taoist sound and thunder coming from the void.

Then, as if someone had dropped a nuclear bomb, a dazzling light erupted with Jin Hongze's Nascent Soul as the center, and a powerful shock wave swept through everything around him like a storm.

Under the shock wave that erupted, everything in Jin Hongze's house was shaken into powder like sand sculptures and swept around.

Jiang Ziliu stood there blankly, his clothes turned into fly ash, his skin and flesh were blown away from his bones, and his bones were shattered into dust particles by the shock. He was relatively lucky. His death was not very painful, and he had no time to regret anything. For just a moment, there was no such person in the world.

As for the assassin, it stands to reason that he would bear the brunt of the attack, and it would be impossible for him to escape. However, the assassin suddenly turned into a puppet the moment Jin Hongze blew himself up. The puppet was blown to pieces in the explosion, but the assassin suddenly emerged from the shadows somewhere outside the explosion range.

Looking at the assassin escaping into the darkness, Ye Zan did not take action to keep him behind. It was not that he could not do it, but that it was not necessary. With such a big thing happening in the ancient city, if Yan Xinghe and others don't do anything, I'm afraid the reputation of the ancient city will be ruined. Once the forces represented by Yan Xinghe and others really intervene, Hongchen will be severely hit. There is no need for Ye Zan to take action.

At this time, the news of Jin Hongze's self-destruction of Nascent Soul had attracted a large number of people. Jin Hongze's house has completely disappeared from the ground, and even the surrounding neighbors have suffered the same misfortune. Even if the walls collapsed and the houses collapsed, many people suffered injuries of varying severity.

Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared here, standing high in the air. They were none other than Yan Xinghe and several other ancient city controllers.

"What on earth is going on!" Looking at the ruins below, Yan Xinghe and others said with ugly expressions.

"This is Jin Hongze's mansion, right? Could it be that Jin Hongze has..." Some people couldn't believe it. He was a master of alchemy in the Nascent Soul Realm. Could it be that he died like this

"Could it be...they did it?" Some people also suspected Ye Zan. Just like when Ye Zan and others were assassinated, everyone would think of Jin Hongze. Now that Jin Hongze's life and death are unknown, the most suspicious ones are naturally Ye Zan and the others.

However, someone soon came up in the air, greeted Yan Xinghe and others, and said, "I heard Jin Hongze's curse before, and it seemed that he was cursing Jiang Ziliu, saying that he was bullying his master and destroying his ancestors, and was against human ethics."

This person was considered a neighbor of Jin Hongze, so he heard Jin Hongze's curse. And his words could be regarded as helping Ye Zan get rid of the suspicion temporarily and lead the matter back to Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu.

"Why, aren't their masters and disciples always very good?" Someone said in confusion.

By asking people around them, Yan Xinghe and others quickly learned some of the facts. Although it is not yet known that Hongchen's assassin is involved, it is certain that Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu's master and apprentice turned against each other.

However, with Jin Hongze's cultivation, how could he not be able to deal with Jiang Ziliu? Although Jin Hongze is an alchemy cultivator, he is still at the Nascent Soul realm after all. Even ten Jiang Ziliu were not enough to destroy him with one slap. How could he be forced to self-destruct his Nascent Soul

Soon, shopkeeper Qin of Huitong Company also got the news and came over. You must know that Jiang Ziliu had borrowed a large amount of spiritual stones from him. After Jiang Ziliu died, who would he ask for the debt? Even if he collected all the remaining property of Jiang Ziliu, it would not be enough to make up for this big hole.

However, the news brought by Shopkeeper Qin gave Yan Xinghe and others a reliable guess. Why did Jiang Ziliu suddenly borrow so much money? Naturally, he asked an assassin to kill his master, Jin Hongze. In this way, this matter makes sense. Jin Hongze was obviously forced into a desperate situation by the assassin, and then he blew himself up and died together with the other party.

"It's an assassin again. In their eyes, the rules of this ancient city are not even as good as a scrap of paper. It seems that if we don't do something, I'm afraid the reputation of the ancient city will be destroyed!" Yan Xinghe and others said bitterly. .

In fact, they didn't know anything about the assassins, including the assassins' middlemen. However, as long as the other party abides by the rules, they will turn a blind eye or turn a blind eye, as long as the other party does not infringe on their rights.

But this time, the assassin organization's actions obviously touched the interests of the ancient city.

"Find Chang Qingchuan, they must give an explanation for this matter." Yan Xinghe said while holding back his anger.

"Well, that's right. Since they won't abide by the rules, we have to let them know the consequences of not abiding by the rules." Another person said angrily next to him.

Not to mention how Yan Xinghe and others handled this matter, Ye Zan had quietly returned to his residence and began to inventory Jin Hongze's family fortune.

In order to collect the deposit, Jin Hongze probably took out all the spiritual stones, talismans, and other money, so there were no more spiritual stones and talisman money in the Qiankun Ring. However, Ye Zan was not very interested in spirit stones and talisman coins. What he was really interested in was Jin Hongze's remaining collection.

"Qingling Cauldron? This thing is just right for Old Liu."

"These Alchemy Notes... Although Jin Hongze is not a very good person, he still has some skills, so I will leave them to Lao Liu to study."

"What is this, the first volume of the Alchemy Record of Mending Heaven? This is probably the first volume of the Alchemy Book that Lao Liu mentioned. I'll give it to him too."

"These spiritual herbs are well preserved, and there are still some seeds. They should be planted in this jade ball."

Naturally, most of Jin Hongze's collection is related to alchemy. There are alchemy cauldrons, alchemy scriptures, and spiritual herbs, all of which can be left to Liu Gan to fiddle with. Then, there are some finished elixirs that have been refined using technological means. After removing impurities, they should still be edible.

Although Jin Hongze was not good at refining weapons, he still collected a lot of materials for refining them. After all, alchemy cultivators also had needs for magical weapons and magic weapons. He might be planning to ask someone to help him refine something. Among these materials, several rare metals were directly absorbed by Ye Zan using Ruyi Baibian, and the remaining ones were given to Qi Qianjun to refine.

"What is this?" Ye Zan sorted out a jade vase. The jade vase was certainly not unusual, but what was strange was the contents inside. This jade bottle contained a semi-liquid substance that was red with a dark golden color. It smelled a little fishy, as if blood was about to coagulate.

Ye Zan was wondering when he suddenly made a "sting" sound, and a golden light came to his arm. It was the golden-scaled giant python Xiao Jin collected in the secret realm. To be honest, Xiao Jin's current strength is not of much help to Ye Zan, so he can only keep it in the jade ball space.

Xiao Jin climbed up Ye Zan's arm and put his head to the mouth of the jade bottle. The red snake letter reached into the jade bottle and when it came out, some of that stuff had already been brought out.

"You want this?" Ye Zan asked Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin turned to look at Ye Zan, and the triangle's head nodded, sending out a desired message.

"Oh, give it to me if you want it." Ye Zan said nonchalantly. Anyway, I don't know what the use of that thing is. Since Xiao Jin wants it, just give it to him.

Ye Zan didn't know that the contents of this jade bottle could be said to be the most precious thing in Jin Hongze's collection. This thing is called dragon marrow, and it is obtained from the bones of ancient dragons. Just adding a drop of it when refining the elixir is enough to improve the quality of the elixir to the best.

If Jin Hongze is willing to take out this dragon marrow, even if he only takes out a few drops, it will be enough to invite the Silver Medal Assassin to kill Ye Zan and Liu Gan immediately. (To be continued.)
