Chapter 233
Pre-emptive
Ji Zheng was in the dark and slightly released his five fingers.
This person felt distressed in his hands, his neck was strangled, and it was violent at this time. This feeling of having just been licked by the god of death and returning to the world immediately made this person feel fearful and quickly explained everything: "In the afternoon today, I suddenly received a rumor..."
"The news...the news says that someone has a treasure map of the demon-suppressing treasure."
"Me?" Ji Zheng was surprised. He had a treasure map for demon suppression, but in addition to Li Hu, there was also one that Gu Xiaowu might have guessed, and no one should have known.
"……yes!"
The man's voice trembled until he felt that the power to hold his throat had not increased. The man continued to explain in a slight manner: "There is a description of your appearance and clothes in the news, and also mentions your cultivation. Many people came to look for it when they heard about this news."
"……Me too!"
This person is already in tears. Yes, he has come to find the right person, but his grandmother, who will explain to him that everyone is in the seventh level, why is this young master so powerful?
"A young seventh-level warrior with a treasure map of the demon-suppressing treasure, with an accent from other places"? That's right. But who knows that from beginning to end, there has never been any mention in the news that this young master's seventh-level and the seventh-level of ordinary people are not on the same level as the seventh-level of ordinary people!
Both of them are seventh level, and he was punished with great tragic deeds and regrets it!
This person complained that his heart was almost bleeding. If he had known it, it would have been useless. With the charm of the demon-suppressing treasure, even if he had known it, he would still come, and at most he would be more cautious.
Little did he know that Ji Zheng had a light blow in his heart and even described his appearance and clothes.
Interestingly, who released such targeted news?
He asked thoughtfully: "You said that many people have heard of this news, how many are there?"
This person hesitated: "...Perhaps anyone who is interested in the Demon-Suppressing Treasure Picture may...
Another treasure map for the demon-suppressing treasure! Ji Zheng frowned. He heard several killings and battles related to it in the past two days. He was surprised: "Didn't the treasure map be leaked out dozens of copies? Why are there anyone living to the death for this?"
When the attacker heard this, his expression and eyes immediately became strange. After hesitating for a while, hesitated and said stutteringly: "I heard that most of the treasure maps were purchased by aristocratic families and major forces, or they tried to get them. It would be nice if those forces did not block the news. How could it be leaked out!"
"Even if some treasure maps flow into some people's hands, no one will tell others, and they will not flow out easily."
"So, don't look at the news of the treasure map that is earth-shaking, in fact, there is no real treasure map on the market...
The logic in this statement is not in line with Ji Zheng’s previous thoughts, but it is definitely in line with the practices of the aristocratic families and other forces.
Ji Zheng concentrated on his mind and suddenly realized that he had thought it was wrong. Even if dozens of treasure maps were leaked, they might not be spread to everyone, because when sects, families and major forces obtained the treasure maps, they naturally tried every means to prevent the spread.
If you get it personally, you won't give it to others easily.
Everyone loves this kind of thing.
Even if you can't take it alone, no one wants to add competitors to themselves!
Thinking about Gu Xiaowu, he used the fastest time to copy a batch to resell it as soon as possible after purchasing the treasure map. After selling it all, he immediately stopped. Now, it’s not that he doesn’t want to sell it too much, but he probably doesn’t dare.
From this perspective, Gu Xiaowu is quite smart.
In fact, the reason why the treasure map cannot be found on the market is indeed directly related to forces such as the aristocratic families.
Except for the major forces, there are probably only two or three out of ten treasure maps that are truly wandering outside. Most people with treasure maps either leave early or hide early.
With the replicas, it will be as good as the end of the day if you can get hundreds of copies.
Ji Zheng and Li Hu were worried that everyone would have a treasure map, and that scene would be almost impossible.
Because treasure maps are too scarce, no wonder some competitions have happened these two days.
However, the extreme scarcity of the Demon-Suppressing Treasure Map has become a huge trouble that Ji Zheng has to face now!
Ji Zheng rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought: "So, who released the news of the treasure map? Where is the intention!"
"In short, this news is clearly about killing me!"
He must leave immediately! Ji Zheng's murderous intent was infuriating, and his thoughts fluctuated: "If this person can find me, more people will come. Maybe it won't take long..." In an instant, his ears suddenly moved slightly.
"...No, it's already here!" Ji Zheng quietly approached the door and listened quietly outside, not letting go of the slightest movement.
It is Xu hour now, and the guests in the inn are not asleep yet, and many voices are floating in the distance.
But there was a very light footstep sound in these voices, which was very close.
When Ji Zheng pressed the vital point of the attacker's neck with his hand, the attacker knew something was wrong. Someone came. Is his life or death? He suddenly tried to turn his head to look at Ji Zheng on the side, his eyes full of fear and begging, just wanting Ji Zheng to spare his life!
But nothing can be seen except a darkness and a vague outline of the shadow.
A sense of fear that the heart is strangled, almost spasm and suffocating deeply envelops the person's body and mind.
Aware of the fear of the attacker, Ji Zheng pressed his strength and the true energy penetrated his body. The person's eyes turned pale and his coma immediately.
"I'm the one who keeps my word!"
Ji Zheng thought to himself, and only heard footsteps pause, someone quietly pushed the door in. In an instant, a strong wind suddenly rose in a small area. The warrior who had just entered moved in was shocked and changed, thinking that he was so careful that he was noticed!
This person has excellent body skills. He and Ji Zheng moved around in a small area in the room, chasing and escaping, and his body shape was unstable.
Even though Ji Zheng had seven-star steps, he could not trap this person for a moment, so he immediately made a quick decision, put down his worries about being too loud, and whistled away with a powerful mountain fist. He swept the man away.
This man is quite smart. After being hit, he knew that his situation was not good. He groaned but instead advanced, and used a fierce killing move, just like a poisonous snake stabbing his chest.
He actually wants to fight Ji Zheng head-on!
Seeing that Ji Zheng did not dodge or dodge and fought hard, the opponent was extremely fierce, and he concentrated all his strength and attacked him like a thorn, which made Ji Zheng lean back. But at almost the same time, his chest was also hit by the mountain boxing, and his sternum was almost broken on the spot.
This person guessed that Ji Zheng must have worn the martial arts uniform! Just as he was about to take another killing attack to seize the treasure map, he felt a dark light flashing in front of him, his neck hurts sharply, and his consciousness sinks into the darkness without any consciousness.
Before the body fell to the ground with a bang, Ji Zheng helped him and put it down silently.
The room was still dark and deep. Ji Zheng couldn't see who was dying under his knife, nor did he know how old he was, but he knew that this man was definitely a master who was good at fighting.
Unfortunately, he died in obscurity.
This is the fate of a casual cultivator!
Ji Zheng cheered up: "Listen to the news, there are two people outside, they don't seem to be in the same group?"
Well, the footsteps are approaching, right outside the door.
Ji Zheng's thoughts flashed quickly, it would be better to take the initiative!
Chapter completed!
