Chapter 763 Shadow in the Fire

As for the choice of poison, the easiest to obtain is undoubtedly arsenic.

As long as this kind of thing is mixed into water, even if you don't drink it, you may be poisoned just by washing your body with it. Thanks to the increasingly prosperous business in Jinxia City, arsenic as a medicine is not difficult to buy. In order not to arouse suspicion, he specially entrusted a group of people to help him buy them separately. In just two weeks, he collected more than a dozen sacks of preliminary refinement.

This kind of arsenic that has not yet completely removed impurities is not suitable for quietly murdering people, but it is perfect for large-scale poisoning. When it was transported through water pipes to the homes of residents in Jinxia City, it was difficult for anyone to imagine that it contained deadly toxins.

After working for about half an hour, all the arsenic was finally poured into the pool.

"That's enough." Zhou Sheng said solemnly, looking at the surging water.

With her victory in the Shenzhou War, Her Royal Highness's reputation among the people has reached its peak. He has understood that if he wants to destroy such troublemakers, the right way is to start from within. Think about it, people gratefully drank the water sent by the Secretariat, but one by one they showed symptoms of poisoning and died. What would the situation be like?

By then, the Secretariat will become a veritable executioner!

And no matter how much they argue, they are ultimately to blame.

Then if he adds a little more fuel to the flames, he will definitely stir up trouble in the city. Once the reputation declines and doubts arise, Her Royal Highness will definitely take repressive measures, and there will be a high probability of loopholes in Shenzhou's defense.

In fact, Zhou Sheng's secret letter to the capital clearly mentioned this - he was willing to step forward and open a gap for Qixing: by then there would be many poisoned people in the city, and the princess's regime would be troubled internally and externally. At this time, Qixing would gather again Strength, rushing into Shenzhou in one go, Jinxia will no longer be able to resist!

Liu Ruyan's mistake will also be corrected accordingly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here. After leaving here, I will reward you with money, and then stay as far away from Jinxia as possible." He turned and walked towards the carriage, "This city will soon be in flames. "

"Can you tell me what you just threw into the pool?" Someone suddenly asked.

what happened?

Zhou Sheng frowned impatiently. Hasn't this question been asked before? He turned back, "As I said, the less you know, the better, unless it's too heavy on your head! Just give me the money -"

Before the word "go away" came out of his mouth, it was stuck in his throat.

Because Mr. Zhou was surprised to find that this sentence was not about himself.

I saw the short man holding a small bottle in his hand, standing in front of the strong man.

This... what is going on?

The strong man's expression also darkened obviously, "Whose side are you from?"

"Me?" The short man took off his hood and showed a generous smile, "Of course I am Xia Fan's person."

His voice suddenly changed.

Instead of being as cold and capable as before, it became light and sweet, sounding just like... a girl.

Wait... Xia Fan?

This name shocked Zhou Sheng. Isn't that the culprit who made Liu Ruyan dare to confront him? No, that's not the point... Why did he hear the name of the Secretariat's Chief from a gangster's mouth?

And the strong man's reaction shocked him even more.

"Li Shu returns to You, Earth Fire!" The man waved his hand, and the talisman instantly turned into smoke in his palm.

This is - Alchemist?

The pillar of fire rising from the scene confirmed Zhou Sheng's idea. Streams of fire spurted out from the short man's feet, instantly surrounding him in the center. The churning heat wave caused others to scream and flee, for fear of being swallowed up by the flames. The darkness and tranquility of the night were also broken by this spell, and for a while the area around the pool was as bright as day.

Dead, dead!

Zhou Sheng's face was pale. Even from a distance of dozens of steps, he could feel the heat of these fire pillars. The person trapped in the center of the fire pillar did not need to think about it. I am afraid that he would be roasted to charcoal in just a few breaths! In fact, he also saw that the short man's whole body was on fire, and his clothes were turned into pieces under the firelight.

But the scary thing is that the opponent did not fall!

Not only that, he didn't even make a shrill cry, but instead raised his hands in a bow-drawing posture.

What are you doing?

Everyone was in a carriage before setting off, and he didn't have a bow at all!

At this moment, a black shadow shot out from the flames and went straight to the strong man's face!

Zhou Sheng was horrified, did he really have an arrow?

The strong man tilted his head back, took three steps back, and then snorted coldly, "I don't know whether to live or die."

He actually intercepted the arrow with one hand!

Is this a winner?

Although I don’t know why the situation is like this, the short man seems to be from the Secretariat, so it is obviously good news that the strong man wins. But the worst thing is that the sudden flames and shouts are undoubtedly the most obvious targets at night. His actions have been exposed. Soon, the guards and police teams in the factory will swarm him, making it very difficult to escape. Got it!

"Let's go!" Zhou Sheng shouted to the strong man.

The latter seemed to turn a deaf ear.

"Well……"

I don't know when there was an arrow in his waist, half of it was already inserted into his body, but the direction and angle were completely different from the one that was shot before!

"The skill of projection...are you...the guard of Shangyuan Gyeonggi Prefecture?" the strong man said through gritted teeth.

"Hey, you recognized me now? I'm quite famous." The short man's voice came from behind.

Zhou Sheng turned his head suddenly and found that the man had arrived at the carriage.

"Mr. Zhou, come and help me, we are in the same group!" The strong man shouted while holding his waist.

A group?

Could it be that this Taoist priest... is from the Seven Stars Privy Council?

But the carriage must not be able to go up. If he fights with the air sensor, he may still be able to escape from the water plant.

Zhou Sheng was about to take a step, but he found that a chain appeared at his feet and wrapped around his right foot.

"I advise you not to go over there." Another person walked out of the darkness, "This person's level is only Hundred Blades, and it is impossible for him to escape from Miss Yu. The only thing he wants to do is to drag you to be buried together to eliminate all evidence."

"Who is it?" Zhou Sheng was in a state of panic at this moment.

He realized that he was not the only one trapped on the spot.

The helpers he had recruited were now lying on the ground, with the chains on their bodies twisting like snakes, tightly wrapping them. What was even more terrifying was that these people couldn't even make a sound, let alone resist.

"The Chain Weaver..."

The sturdy man tilted his head and glared at Zhou Sheng, then showed a strange smile.

"Leaving the Fire Without a Trace."

As soon as the words fell, a new pillar of fire suddenly rose from under his feet, instantly engulfing him completely!
