Blood gushed out from the bullet hole, forming a pool of bright red on the grass and was gradually absorbed by the soil.
The horrified expression on the glasses man's face was frozen at that second, and the blood spurting from his forehead dyed the lenses scarlet.
The day he returned to Fengnan City, Kaxiu had already begun investigating the Camorra Mountain Ruins incident more than a month ago. That incident was obviously not simple. The Huolu Antique Company, which was a partner, suddenly rebelled, and an organization codenamed Hunter.
And it is unknown which force planted the explosives.
At that time, his strength was not very strong, and it could be said that this was one of the most dangerous incidents that Kaxiu had encountered. After he escaped, he decisively left Fengnan City and hid his identity to avoid being involved in a series of dangerous subsequent incidents that might occur.
Now, Kaxiu's strength is no longer the same. After returning to Fengnan City, he naturally intervened in the incident forcefully.
Huolu Antiques Company was the first to be targeted.
He asked a senior executive of Spade "A" to take charge, and it took less than two days to destroy the entire Fire Deer Antiques Company. After all, no matter how weak the Spade "A" organization was in the face of extraordinary forces, it was still a black organization that mastered violence.
To be honest, it won’t take too long to control a small or medium-sized antique company whose business scope is only in a few cities.
After the senior executive had asked all the questions he needed to, he escorted the director of Huolu Antiques Company who was in charge of the plan to Kaxiu and let him deal with him. Kaxiu was also very straightforward and killed the man with glasses right in front of his own grave.
It can be regarded as a complete farewell to the past.
Use blood as a dividing line.
As for the mentors and fellow apprentices who died in the ruins, Kaxiu has planned to re-excavate the ruins of the Camorra Mountains. Take out their remains and rebury them. And secretly provide some financial assistance to the families of the fellow apprentices. After all, there is the friendship between teachers and students, and the friendship between comrades. Especially the brother who gave him the wind ivory pendant. If it weren't for him, Kaxiu might not know that he actually had supernatural powers until his death.
Although it was unintentional, he still wanted to give something back.
In addition, the Spade "A" organization has mobilized its people to investigate Jersey University and Fengnan City Government, who are involved in this matter. I wonder if they can find some clues. In fact, Kaxiu believes that the most valuable clues are the several corpses and relics he saw when he crawled out of the mud of the ruins.
A pure white shield-shaped emblem with golden rice ears on the edge, and the icon is a black cross sword inserted in the middle of the horns of a demon's head. There are also small letters arranged on it: Hunter.
There was also a large-caliber pistol as black as ink, almost half the length of a forearm, with silver letters in cursive on the gun body: Ebony.
These two items pointed to a force that was likely to be against the Demon Shadow. The entanglement of the two extraordinary forces caused undercurrents to surge in the vortex, and a series of events occurred.
Kaxiu had thought about whether this force called Hunters was related to the Shadowless Organization, but it was quickly denied. He wanted to get detailed information, either the two forces would come to light themselves, or wait until the Demon Shadow was completely refined and tamed.
Kaxiu's attention span was limited, so he decided to choose the latter option and let it go. His focus was now mainly on Ji Lan, a core member of the sect organization, who attracted Kaxiu more.
Ever since he got the information from Adam, he had mobilized his forces to search for traces of Jilan's presence in the city. He had already locked onto the target last night, and was just waiting for Kaxiu's next move.
At twelve noon, lunch ended at Shuiyun Club.
In the living room, Kaxiu looked at himself in the mirror.
A black robe with a cape concealed his figure. Inside was a tight-fitting combat suit, made of tough fabric and specially thickened at the joints. It would not be damaged unless the battle was too intense.
He stretched his arms and legs and nodded with satisfaction.
Although this suit would definitely burst if he went all out, it shouldn't be a problem for normal combat.
Kaxiu took off his black robe, revealing his strong and muscular shoulders.
On the two streamlined muscles, bruises and blue veins twisted and entangled together, forming marks under the skin.
It looks like a demon's eye.
His eyelids drooped, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. He didn't know when a compass suddenly appeared in his hand, and a blue eyeball like a gem was pinched between his thumb and index finger.
Kaxiu looked at his own cold and stern self in the full-length mirror.
Muttering to oneself.
"Now, I am a core member of the sect, Peacock..."
He thought he had done a good job of disguising himself.
After looking at the time, Kaxiu turned around and slowly went downstairs.
****************************
The sun sets and the moon rises, a bright silver disk is embedded in the dark night. A white frost light like a gauze gently sprinkles on the entire plain, covering all the buildings in Fengnan City.
The tiles of the pointed dome building have a soft white tint.
In an abandoned church on the edge of the city, a brass spiral staircase goes all the way up from the bottom to a height of more than ten meters.
It's probably on the second floor, on the staircase platform, under the stained glass window.
A figure in a black robe sat cross-legged quietly.
The moonlight shines through the seven-color window, leaving a long and colorful trail. Irregular blocks of color cut and pieced together look like ripples on the bottom of the water, giving people a psychedelic feeling.
"Huh..."
From the shadow of the cloak, two streams of hot air slowly came out.
The figure that had been motionless like a withered statue came to life. He took off his hat, revealing a gloomy face.
His face was narrow and thin, his eyebrows were thin and short, and the corners of his mouth and eyes gave people an uncomfortable and awkward sense of harshness. There was a thorn-like scar on his left cheek, as long as an index finger, close to his temple.
The man slowly extended his palm, and a white mist-like air flow evaporated from the surface of his skin, taking away the blood bit by bit. The palm, which was originally rosy, suddenly turned iron blue.
Like a dead body whose entire body was frozen.
"The Hand of the Dark Devil... But why is it only a fragment?!"
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Jilan is not a genius in martial arts. If he had practiced step by step, he would have been lost in the crowd. But he had his own fate. He accidentally got a strange secret martial art. It is called the Black Devil's Hand. As the name suggests, it is a pair of palms that have great destructive power.
You can plunder and remove the vitality of living things by touching them.
It is a strange yet powerful technique.
With the help of the Black Magic Hand, Ji Lan made rapid progress, gained power he had never imagined before, and successfully entered the fighter level. However, after reaching the fighter level, he discovered the hidden dangers of this skill. The Black Magic Hand not only devoured the opponent's vitality, but also continuously plundered his own vitality.
The higher the level of practicing the Black Demon's Hand, the more powerful the lethality in battle, and the shorter your life span!
Jilan has already lost a lot of life along the way. After reaching the fighter level, he only has less than five years to live.
This is because of the breakthrough in the life level. Otherwise, the original realm might not be able to last for a year or two.
He had such a powerful force, but he only had a few years to live. How could this not make Ji Lan angry and terrified? So he desperately looked for a way to prolong his life, and finally found the door organization. A mysterious and powerful force with tentacles all over the world.
It is said that as long as one becomes a core member, one can gradually return to youth, and can even be forced to continue on the path of martial arts.
Jilan joined without hesitation and was taken seriously for his strong fighting skills. He spent three years wandering in several countries, constantly encountering dangers and fighting.
Finally, a month ago, he got the fragment of the gate.
It can be said that it was a fluke among flukes. Because of the high intensity and high frequency of the battles, Ji Lan's vitality faded faster. He didn't have five years to live, at most two or three months.
However, it was all worth it. Jilan successfully became a core member of the Gate Organization half a month ago. Moreover, he obtained the real method to use the fragment. Of course, Jilan also took on a debt: find another Gate Fragment and hand it over to the leader Xiadu! The time limit is within five years. Otherwise, the Gate Organization will no longer regularly give him the necessary props to use the Gate Fragment.
As his thoughts raced, Ji Lan slowly placed his hands on his knees.
He could feel the hot blood in his body rushing to his arm, and then being swallowed up in his palm. The black devil's hand was like a bottomless pit, accepting all who came, extremely greedy.
Ji Lan knew that the secret martial arts he practiced was incomplete and had hidden dangers. If it was a complete version, there might still be side effects, but they would definitely not be as exaggerated as they are now. He had also tried to find the complete version of the Black Demon's Hand secret martial arts.
But, nothing happened.
The Black Hand was born long ago, probably before the Federation and Empire. Maybe thousands of years...
With such a long time span, and the fact that it was a lost secret martial art, Ji Lan could not obtain it even if he tried his best.
Therefore, he had no choice but to give up solving the problem from the root.
Then he turned his attention to the fragments of the door.
In fact, a long time ago, there was another way to completely solve the problem, which was even more fundamental than the root cause. That was to directly abolish the Black Magic Hand martial arts and become an ordinary person again.
However, Jilan finally mastered the powerful strength, how could he give up easily? Even if this road is dark, he can only go to the end. The Black Demon Hand that Jilan has poured half of his life into cannot be abandoned. On the contrary, he is eager to go further. If the effect of the Gate Fragment is really as magical as the Gate Organization said, then it can definitely be done!
"July 30th, there are still four days left..."
Ji Lan muttered to himself. Even though he was already familiar with this premonition, there was still a hint of wonder in his eyes. The fragment of the door was like an alarm clock, reminding him of the time in his head.
Delivering the correct time.
The right place...
Jilan took out a stack of Beiliu County city population density distribution maps from her bosom. There were circles and drawings on them, which clearly showed that they had been studied for a long time. There were also pencil-written annotations next to them.
In fact, the entire Beiliu County is the correct location.
However, a door fragment has a limited coverage area, so one can only pursue maximum benefits. Even Ji Lan, facing a precious opportunity, calculated carefully like a woman.
He calculated the range of the lake covered by the fragments of the door, and overlaid it on the population density distribution map, repeatedly drawing circles to demonstrate.
To find the best position you should be in.
During this period, Jilan also had to consider the working hours of the people in the area and the flow of people in different time periods. It can be said that he had never studied mathematics so hard in his life.
However, hard work pays off.
After two days and two nights of calculation, Jilan has found the location. It is on Fania Avenue in the East District of Beiliu City, Beiliu County.
He will set off tomorrow and take the train to Beiliu City.
"Open that door and enjoy the delicious nectar given by heaven..."
Ji Lan stood up slowly, recalled what the other core members of the sect organization had said to him half a month ago, and took a deep breath.
“I hope it feels that good.”
He glanced at the eerie abandoned church and slowly walked down the stairs, each footstep echoing clearly.
When it reaches the fighter level, the Black Demon Hand will affect the surrounding environment during daily training and autonomously plunder the vitality of living things.
That's why he chose a remote location.
It wasn't because of a guilty conscience, but because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. If the people around him were affected and the black agency saw that it was an extraordinary event, they would be in trouble again.
The right time was approaching and he didn't want to create any more trouble.
despair…
The soles of my shoes made a slight sound as they stepped on the dead branches and leaves.
Ji Lan, wearing a black robe, walked out slowly from the gate.
"I really didn't expect that you would be so unprepared..."
Suddenly, a man's voice came from the corner.
"who!
!”
Ji Lan turned around suddenly, his muscles tensed like a bowstring. His hands in his sleeves were claw-like, with purple meridians entangled.
He was shocked at the moment, he was approached to such an extent, and he hadn't noticed the existence of others. It was quite dangerous.
"Peacock, you can call me Peacock. Don't be so nervous, we are on the same path..." Across from him, a man in a black robe leaned against the wall. With his right hand, he slowly threw something like a glass bead, which glowed slightly blue under the moonlight.
"Blue tear eyes? You actually treated such a precious thing as a glass ball to play with. Be careful not to damage it, or you will regret it..."
Jilan raised his eyebrows and relaxed his body. He immediately showed the devil's eye symbol on his shoulder, and the man opposite him moved in sync with Jilan. The symbol was a little blurry under the hazy moonlight.
If the core members of the sect were cautious enough, they would have to confirm their identities and go to the next step, touching the mark with their hands to sense the power. But Jilan practiced the Black Demon Hand, and touching a living thing would inevitably rob the other party of its vitality, so forget it.
Besides, the other party has blue tear eyes, so his identity cannot be wrong.
Wait, that Blue Tear Eye has traces of using secret techniques. Could it be that... the core member named Peacock on the opposite side has just obtained the fragment of the gate like himself, and is waiting for an opportunity
Ji Lan looked at Kaxiu and narrowed his eyes slightly. The surroundings were somewhat dark, making his face look deep and cold.
A few meters away, Kaxiu had a calm smile on his face, looking very casual. However, his right hand, which was behind his back, was clenched into a fist, with veins bulging. Twenty-three acupoints on his chest glowed at the same time, but were blocked by his clothes.
As long as Ji Lan showed the slightest suspicion.
Kaxiu guaranteed that he would turn into a puddle of mud in the next second!
The entire tall wall arch behind him would be instantly destroyed by his terrifying burst of aura.
"Peacock, you also just got the fragment of the gate and came to Beiliu County to wait for an opportunity... It seems that the correct location for both of us is Beiliu County. I wonder when your correct time is? I think we need to have a good communication to avoid accidentally bumping into each other at that time, how about it?"
Ji Lan said, completely clueless about the current situation.
"Haha, of course..."
Kaxiu laughed kindly twice, and the acupoints were extinguished. The boiling spirit in his body that was about to burst out like magma was forcibly suppressed and calmed down. His right hand, which was behind his back and had swelled to twice the thickness of his left arm, quickly recovered to its original state.
