Chapter 28

Xu Zifeng is a capable general under the second elder of the Ji family. He is deeply trusted and respected by the second elder, and has been managing the Dongjiao workshop.

In the past, he had entered Jifu many times to report the situation of the workshop to the second elder.

Ji Tianxing is no stranger to Xu Zifeng. In his impression, this person is shrewd, capable, stable and general, and is indeed worthy of reuse.

But he never expected that Xu Zifeng would actually appear in Taiye Town, and sneakily trade Ji Family's Xuanbing sword with a group of mysterious people!

"Could it be that this person is rich in his own pockets, stealing the Xuanbing sword from the workshop and selling it privately?"

"That box of Xuanbing swords is worth more than one million taels... No, I have to investigate!"

Ji Tianxing secretly clenched the Blood Dragon Sword, his eyes flashing with a frightening cold light.

At this time, Xu Zifeng and the black-clothed youth walked out of the ruined temple side by side and were about to walk down the mountain.

Ji Tianxing suddenly jumped down from the top of the tree and landed on the grass with a "swoosh", blocking the way of Xu Zifeng and the youth in black.

Xu Zifeng and the black-clothed youth were unprepared for someone falling from the sky, they were startled immediately, and they stared at Ji Tianxing vigilantly.

After seeing Ji Tianxing's face, Xu Zifeng's complexion suddenly changed drastically, and he stammered: "Big, big... Eldest young master? How is it you?"

Ji Tianxing stared at him sharply, and asked in a deep voice, "Xu Zifeng! How dare you! How dare you steal the Ji family's Xuanbing sword and trade it privately!"

Xu Zifeng's face became extremely ugly, and he quickly defended: "Young master, you misunderstood! I am loyal to the Ji family, how could I do such a thing?"

Ji Tianxing stepped closer to him with a cold face, and said coldly again: "Misunderstanding? Good! Then you take out the contract of the transaction just now!"

In the forge workshop under the Ji family, every business transaction must be accounted for.

Any transaction worth more than 10,000 taels of silver requires a hand deed issued by the owner.

Especially the box of Xuanbing swords, which is worth more than one million taels, needs a hand deed issued by the head of the family or the elders.

When Xu Zifeng heard the word "hand deed", his face became even more ugly, his eyes were dodging, and he did not dare to look at Ji Tianxing.

Ji Tianxing was even more convinced that there was something wrong with this transaction, so he shouted in a dignified tone: "Xu Zifeng! This young master expects you to have no courage to do such a thing, say! Who ordered you?!"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Xu Zifeng's eyes, and after looking at the young man in black, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

When he looked up at Ji Tianxing again, his face was covered with a sneer.

"Master! Since you have found out, don't blame me for being ruthless, you forced me!"

"kill him!"

Xu Zifeng gave a low voice to the black-clothed youth, and jumped towards Ji Tianxing, grabbing at Ji Tianxing's head and neck with his hands like eagle claws.

He has the strength of the second level of the real yuan realm. In his opinion, even if he does not have a weapon, he can easily kill Ji Tianxing in the "refinement realm".

The black-clothed youth also had the strength of the first realm of True Yuan, and his fists flashed a faint red light, smashing hard on Ji Tianxing's chest.

"court death!"

Ji Tianxing let out a low cry with a cold expression, and instantly pulled out the blood dragon sword and greeted him.

"Shh!"

With all his strength, he cut out a sword and forced back the murderous Xu Zifeng.

Seeing the young man in black rushing towards him aggressively, he stepped back sideways and avoided the fists of the young man in black.

When the black-clothed youth passed him by, he slapped the palm without hesitation, activating the sword qi in the Huizong acupoint of his arm.

"Bang!"

Ji Tianxing slapped the back of the black-clothed youth with a palm, and the sword energy shot out from the palm of his hand and got into the black-clothed youth's body.

Suddenly, the young man in black staggered forward for six steps before stopping.

When he turned around and wanted to pounce on Ji Tianxing, he was already pale, blood dripped from the corners of his mouth, and his strength quickly dissipated.

"you you!"

The young man in black glared at Ji Tianxing angrily, his face was full of disbelief, but he couldn't say a word.

His body swayed and moved his footsteps, unable to hold it any longer, fell to the grass with a "pop", and gradually died out of breath.

Xu Zifeng saw with his own eyes that the young man in black was instantly killed by Ji Tianxing's palm, and his face was full of surprise, and the speed of the double fist attack was also a little slower.

Taking this opportunity, Ji Tianxing waved the blood dragon sword again and again and stabbed several sword lights at him, pointing directly at his face, throat and chest.

Xu Zifeng was forced to be in a hurry, so he could only retreat again and again to avoid.

After seven moves, he showed a flaw in his panic, and was immediately stabbed in the shoulder by Ji Tianxing's sword.

The invincible blood dragon sword directly pierced a blood hole in his shoulder, exposing Bai Sensen's shoulder bone.

Xu Zifeng let out a shrill scream, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Although he couldn't believe it, he had to accept the reality that Ji Tianxing's strength was by no means the rumored body refinement realm, and it was very likely that he would return to the real yuan realm!

Thinking of this, Xu Zifeng no longer had any fighting spirit, he jumped and retreated two feet away, clutching his shoulders and escaping down the mountain.

But before he escaped ten feet away, Ji Tianxing caught up.

"Where to escape!"

Ji Tianxing shouted angrily, rushed behind Xu Zifeng as fast as a gust of wind, and stabbed him in the back with a sword shaking his hand, knocking him to the ground on the spot.

Before Xu Zifeng struggled to get up, Ji Tianxing put a foot on his shoulder, stomped him on the ground, and pressed the blood dragon sword against his neck.

"Speak! Who instructed you to do it?!"

Xu Zifeng was pinned on the grass and unable to move, knowing that he was doomed, he even showed a sneer.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect that Young Master Ji was hiding so deeply!"

"However, you want to ask me for clues? In the next life!"

As he spoke, his breath became weaker and weaker, and red blood continued to pour out of his mouth and nose.

After a short while, he closed his eyes and went silent.

Ji Tianxing hurriedly turned him over and checked his pulse only to find that he had broken his heart and died of suicide.

"Damn it! He would rather die than let go! Who made him a dead man, so risking his life?"

Ji Tianxing took back the Blood Dragon Sword with a gloomy expression and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Xu Zifeng committed suicide, causing a haze in his heart, and he felt more and more that this matter was of great importance.

If this matter is directly related to his second uncle, I am afraid it will endanger the Ji family's foundation!

He rummaged through the bodies of Xu Zifeng and the youth in black again, to see if he could find any clues.

It's a pity that there is only some broken silver and sundries on the two of them, and there is no useful clue.

Ji Tianxing sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to leave the broken temple and go down the mountain.

A quarter of an hour later, when he reached the foot of the mountain, two more figures came out of the ruined temple.

The leader is a young man in a green robe, with a tall, sturdy figure and a noble temperament. It is Ji Hao.

The middle-aged man who followed behind him was dressed as a guard, wearing a black leather armor and carrying a sword.

The middle-aged man glanced at the two corpses not far away, and said with a gloomy expression: "Master Hao, this matter has been discovered by the eldest young master, what should we do? Should we...?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Ji Hao frowned, and said with a gloomy expression: "We take action, no matter how covertly we do it, it will leave traces in the end. It is far better to kill with a knife."

"This is Yunzhou, the Gu family's territory. Although Gu Xizhi, the governor of Yunzhou, is far away in the imperial city, I remember that Gu Hao's biological mother lived in Chuiyun City, a hundred miles away."

"Release the news to the Gu family, saying that Ji Tianxing came to Taiye Town and wanted to go into the mountains to find the red star flower. I think Gu Hao's mother will not miss this opportunity to avenge her son!"

"Also, remember to remind the Gu family that Ji Tianxing's strength seems to have returned to the real Yuan realm."
