Chapter 31 I Will Never Forget You
"Oh, and that person."

Cui Lie suddenly thought of Hou Longtao, who had amazing powers, and it was as if he had grabbed the last straw to save his life. "Hou Zhuangshi, please take my young master away. When we return to Jiangzhou City, the master will definitely have an important mission..."

"Bah!"

Then Hou Longtao shouted, "In broad daylight, in the open, how dare you attack and kill the head of the Demon Suppression Division? Is there any law?"

Before he could finish his words, he shot out like an arrow.

Cui Lie was left with his mouth wide open, his mind a mess, staring stupidly at the torn door of the tent.

He... what is he doing?
To die?
Besides, it’s late at night, how can it be broad daylight?
……

Hundreds of meters away.

Two men in black, one in front and one behind, were attacking a young girl wearing the uniform of an officer from the Demon Suppression Division.

"I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful girl in the Demon Suppression Division."

"You'd better surrender obediently, and you can suffer less."

"My two brothers will serve you well later, and let you experience what the greatest happiness in the world is..."

The two Liu villains spoke frivolously but attacked ruthlessly, almost destroying the protective energy of the girl from the Demon Suppression Division.

Gu Mingchuan could see that they were depleting the girl's protective energy. Once the energy was dispersed, she would be at the mercy of others.

"Hey, I didn't expect someone to come here to die."

One of the two Liu villains sneered, "Brother, let me deal with this guy first."

After saying that, he went to greet the person who came.

Seeing that this person didn't even have Gang Qi, he mocked him, "You haven't even reached the Gang Yuan realm yet, and you dare to imitate others to save the damsel in distress. You really don't know how to live or die."

After saying that, he slashed at the man's head with his sword. The sword's aura was red, and in the dark night, it looked like a burning flame.

This knife cut off all the opponent's retreat routes, aiming to kill him with one strike.

The next moment, Liu Er felt a flash before his eyes and he lost sight of the man.

His pupils shrank, and when he looked again, the man had appeared in front of him.

What kind of movement is this?
He was so frightened that he retreated violently, only to see the other party punching him.

There was still no fluctuation of Gang Yuan on those fists.

He was certain that it was just that his movements were faster...

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he felt an indescribable force hitting him, and the protective energy in his body was torn like a piece of paper, and his chest felt a sharp pain.

How can it be?

Liu Er's eyes bulged out, with shock and fear remaining on his face.

"Who said that you can't kill people without Gangqi?"

A voice sounded in my ears.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, "A martial artist in the realm of divine power!"

"puff--"

His consciousness fell into endless darkness.

That punch ruptured his internal organs and shattered all his bones. Even a god could not save him from such injuries.

……

"Want to run?"

At this moment, a shout filled with anger was heard.

Gu Mingchuan turned his head and saw that the attack and defense over there had reversed, and it was the turn of the girl from the Demon Suppression Division to chase after the evil Liu.

This guy was quite smart. When he saw his brother being killed, he ran away immediately without any delay.

Naturally, he would not leave such a hidden danger, so he immediately used his skills to chase after him and punched him in the back.

"Please spare my life, hero—"

The girl obviously hated the two Liu villains very much, and every move she made was aimed at mutual destruction, forcing the great villain Liu to be unable to escape.

He was begging for mercy when he was punched in the back and vomited blood on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a sword with a cold glow pierced into his mouth, and the tip of the sword protruded from behind his head.

The girl was still not satisfied, so she drew her sword and cut off his head.

After doing all this, her body swayed, and she spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puff" sound, and then fell limply to the ground.

Gu Mingchuan saw that she had just fainted due to overexertion, so he ignored her and searched both bodies.

If you kill someone, you naturally have to touch the corpse.

In the end, he gained several hundred taels of silver and two secret books.

"Mysterious Fire True Skill?"

Gu Mingchuan was a little surprised when he saw the name on the cover of one of the secret books. Looking at the name, is there any connection with "Xuanshui Zhengong"?

He took a quick look at it and found that the material of the paper and the grammar used were very similar to those in "Xuan Shui Zhengong".

These two skills might actually come from the same source.

Looking at another book, it is a sword technique called "The Fiery Sun Sword Technique", which should be complementary to this internal skill.

He stuffed the two secret books into his arms, then carried the unconscious girl on his shoulders, and holding a corpse in one hand, he went to the camp.

……

"Someone is coming."

At the camp, someone with good eyesight saw a tall figure walking towards them in the darkness and said excitedly, "It's Hou Zhuangshi!"

For a moment, many people felt relieved.

Since Hou Zhuangshi has returned, he may have driven away the two Liu villains.

At this time, the previous voice called out again, "Wait, he is not alone..."

Soon, the people guarding the door also saw clearly that Hou Longtao was holding a person in each hand.

No, there's another one on my shoulder.

That can't be--

Everyone thought of a possibility, but none of them dared to believe it.

bang bang.

Until Hou Longtao walked up to them, threw the two bodies on the ground, and said, "These are the bodies of the two Liu villains. Please collect them for me and transport them to the Demon Suppression Division to claim the reward."

Were they really the bodies of the two Liu murderers? He actually killed both of them?
There was an uproar in the crowd.

After he left, everyone gathered around and looked at the two bodies on the ground. These were the bodies of Gangyuan realm masters.

Soon, Cui Lie and Huo Jianfei also rushed over after hearing the news. Looking at the two bodies on the ground, they did look very similar to the two Liu murderers on the wanted list.

Cui Lie swallowed with some difficulty.

I thought that Hou Longtao was just an amazing person, but I didn't expect that his strength was so terrifying. He killed two masters of Gangyuan Realm just by saying so.

"I see!"

Huo Jianfei beside him suddenly shouted excitedly, "Brother Hou is the legendary master of horizontal training, a strong man in the realm of divine power."

A master of horizontal training?

Divine realm?
Cui Lie finally realized what was happening and shuddered in his heart. There were very few experts in horizontal training in Jiangzhou City, so he didn't think about it for a while.

He felt somewhat fortunate that nothing disrespectful had happened in the past few days.

……

Gu Mingchuan returned to his tent and placed the girl on his shoulders onto the blanket.

As soon as she was put down, the girl opened her eyes.

The two looked at each other for a second, and the girl lowered her eyes shyly and said softly, "Thank you for saving me."

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her voice was soft.

It is hard to connect the shy girl in front of me with the ruthless man who was determined to die together with the enemy.

Gu Mingchuan said, "I admire the people in the Demon Suppression Division the most in my life. Now that I have come across this matter, I will naturally not sit idly by."

The girl raised her head and said with shining eyes, "In that case, let me introduce you to the Demon Suppression Division."

isn't it?
I just said it casually, and you took it seriously?
Is the Demon Suppression Division so short of people?

Gu Mingchuan said with regret, "Unfortunately, my master has forbidden me from joining the public sect. It is difficult to disobey the master's order."

The girl felt a little sorry when she heard this, and then asked, "Brother, what is your name?"

"Hou Longtao, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiaoyu."

When Gu Mingchuan heard this, he knew that she didn't want to reveal her true identity, so he didn't care and said, "You are seriously injured. You should rest here tonight."

He left after saying that, leaving the tent to her.

……

The next morning, the caravan continued its journey.

Gu Mingchuan could feel that everyone's attitude towards him had become extremely respectful, especially Cui Lie, who was extremely respectful in front of him, afraid of being neglected in the slightest.

"If you have any instructions, just ask."

Cui Lie presented him with a pot of his treasured wine and left after making sure that he had no other needs.

In the carriage, Gu Mingchuan sat with the girl named Xiaoyu.

After a night's rest, she looked much better.

"Xiao Yu, how did you end up running into the Liu family's twin villains?"

"I got information about the whereabouts of a notorious bandit, so I went to look for him. I had just killed him when I ran into these two."

Xiao Yu was still a little scared when he talked about this. He patted his chest and said, "If it weren't for you, Brother Hou, who came to my rescue, I'm afraid I would have met with an accident."

Gu Mingchuan asked, "Why are you acting alone?"

This Xiaoyu is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has already reached the second level of Gangyuan. His background must be extraordinary.

How could her elders let her go out on a mission alone?
Xiao Yu's eyes flickered a little, and he said vaguely, "He is just a bandit of the ninth level of true energy. I can deal with him alone, so I don't need anyone else."

Gu Mingchuan smiled and didn't expose her.

……

Gu Mingchuan intended to get closer to Xiaoyu, and after a few days, the two of them had become like brother and sister.

Such little girls who are curious about everything and a little scheming, but not many in number, are the easiest to deal with. He can easily get them if he puts a little effort into it.

Just the day before arriving at Jiangzhou City.

At noon, the convoy stopped to rest and eat.

Everyone was talking about where to go after arriving in Jiangzhou City.

After Xiao Yu finished eating, he suddenly suggested, "Brother Hou, let's go for a walk by the river."

"it is good."

It was a big river, several dozen meters wide, named Cangjiang River, the second largest river in Wei. It was also the origin of the name of Jiangzhou City.

The two walked for a while until they could no longer see the convoy.

Xiao Yu stopped and said, "Brother Hou, do you like me?"

"??"

Before he could speak, she continued, "No, my family will never agree. Don't put your mind on me, it's bound to be fruitless."

"..."

You are quite a nice person.

Gu Mingchuan didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally, he could only say, "...Okay."

Xiao Yu lowered her head and said, "Brother, I will never forget your life-saving grace. You will always be my big brother."

Just say yes.

Gu Mingchuan looked at the river flowing eastward and was speechless for a moment.

……

In the afternoon, the convoy continued on its journey.

Gu Mingchuan felt that the time was right, so he casually asked during the chat, "I heard that there are many serious criminals imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Division's prison."

If he hadn't asked this, he wouldn't have rescued her.

As a result, I was misunderstood.
