Infernal Artist

Chapter 444 A sharp turn

Rumble——

There was a muffled thunder outside the window.

Liu Ping glanced out the window and saw dark clouds covering the sky, and the cold wind began to blow away the yellow leaves on the trees.

"Master Zuo, this is our application form."

He placed the form Chu Yunshang had just written on the table.

Mr. Zuo said with a relaxed face: "This is easy. Just turn right when you go out and go to the third window in the corridor outside to get your stamp stamped - I am responsible for the evaluation, I don't care about this."

"Okay, sir, thank you for your advice. I'll take my leave."

"Farewell."

Liu Ping smiled and took Chu Yunshang out of the door.

The door closes.

Lord Menlizuo immediately picked up the communicator.

Outside the door, Liu Ping looked around and saw no one.

It was already approaching dusk, and it was raining coldly, so there were not many people coming to do business.

Liu Ping took a few steps and asked quietly: "Yun Shang, does the application for closing the library have to be stamped at the third window?"

"No, if you submit this kind of application form to the front window, you still have to take it in and have it signed by an official of Master Zuo's level." Chu Yunshang said confused.

Liu Ping's eyes darkened, and he handed the application form to Chu Yunshang and said, "Go and submit this form. I'll wait for you in the lobby."

"good."

Chu Yunshang took the list and went to the window on the side of the hall.

Liu Ping glanced out the window of the corridor and saw that the sky was full of wind and rain.

He walked all the way through the hall, stood behind the pillar at the exit of the building, and looked out quietly.

In the rain, pedestrians passed by in a hurry on the street.

Several cars drove slowly and parked on the street outside the Wumeng Building.

"Liu Ping."

Chu Yunshang's voice came from behind.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping asked without looking back.

"The window staff said that the application form cannot be submitted now. They said that several adults responsible for signing are in a meeting and asked us to come back tomorrow." Chu Yunshang said.

Liu Ping glanced at the void.

I saw that my mission still hadn’t changed at all——

"Please ensure that the plaque of the martial arts school is not taken away by any other martial arts school."

Liu Ping looked at this line of small words, pondered for a moment, and said, "Yun Shang, only by challenging and defeating us can other martial arts schools take away the plaque of our martial arts gym, is that right?"

"Yes." Chu Yunshang said.

"Is there any other situation - I mean some extreme situation, where other martial arts schools can also take away our plaque?" Liu Ping asked.

"Ah, there is only one situation." Chu Yunshang thought for a while and said.

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"We are all dead." Chu Yunshang said.

Liu Ping's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked out at the street again.

I saw seven or eight men sitting in the cars parked on the side of the road, puffing away their breath.

When Liu Ping looked intently, the same line of small words appeared above their heads:

"Advanced killer."

Liu Ping pondered for a moment and pulled Chu Yunshang as he was about to walk out of the door.

"What? Don't we go back first?" Chu Yunshang asked strangely.

"Wait a moment." Liu Ping said.

"But the procedures can no longer be completed today." Chu Yunshang said.

"All their officials are having a meeting? I guess that's not the case - at least Mr. Zuo didn't go to any meeting." Liu Ping said calmly.

Not only that.

The window in the lobby directly rejected the closing application, which was probably the fault of Mr. Zuo.

Thirty-two martial arts schools are in charge, trying to destroy the Blood Heart School's martial arts schools.

Since it is being managed from top to bottom, it means that some important figures in the top brass of the Martial League have already nodded in agreement to this matter.

So why wasn't the person named Zuo bribed?

By selling himself and Chu Yunshang, he could share the worries of the big shots at the top and get some benefits from the thirty-two martial arts schools.

Why not!

"If we don't go back to the martial arts hall, will we stay here?" Chu Yunshang asked.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "As the organization that manages all warriors, the Martial Alliance probably still wants to have some face... If anyone is killed in the Martial Alliance building, it will definitely be a sensation in the world, right?"

"Of course, but why are you talking about this suddenly?" Chu Yunshang said.

"Let's go, let's go find Mr. Zuo." Liu Ping said.

"Still looking for him?" Chu Yunshang asked.

"Is he spiritual? Can you tell how strong he is?" Liu Ping asked in a low voice.

"He is just a civilian official. He has no spirit and his martial arts are mediocre." Chu Yunshang said.

"Don't make a sound or show any expression. Now I'm going to tell you two things." Liu Ping glanced at Chu Yunshang.

Chu Yunshang nodded.

"First, there is something wrong with this guy named Zuo. When you go in later, you have to restrain him and don't let him speak;"

"Secondly, there are killers outside, sent by the thirty-two martial arts schools. The Wumeng League has acquiesced in this matter. The reason why they don't come in is that they can't kill people in the Wumeng League building, lest the impact will be too bad."

Liu Ping finished speaking softly.

A trace of anger flashed in Chu Yunshang's eyes, but he soon calmed down.

By this time, the two of them had already reached the office door.

Knock on the door.

"Who?" Master Zuo's voice came from inside.

Chu Yunshang glanced at Liu Ping.

"Let's say goodbye to your lord."

Liu Ping said with a smile.

He squeezed the door handle lightly and pushed the door open.

Mr. Zuo stood up in a hurry and said, "You guys, please show me——"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Ping took out a gold bar and interrupted him with a smile: "I came here specifically to say goodbye. I hope you won't refuse."

Mr. Zuo looked at the gold bar, his expression relaxed, and he swallowed what he said next.

Liu Ping took advantage of the situation and closed the door behind him.

"Come on." He whispered.

Chu Yunshang's figure flashed, disappeared from the spot, and appeared directly behind Mr. Zuo.

Her hands gently pinched Mr. Zuo's neck.

One after another red shadows spread out from behind her, like blooming flowers, completely surrounding Mr. Zuo.

"If you move, you will die. If you don't believe it... then don't blame me."

Chu Yunshang said softly.

Mr. Zuo was taken aback and shouted: "I am from the Martial Alliance. If you dare to touch me, you will not be able to survive!"

Liu Ping smiled and said: "Sir, we are almost dead. Do you think we dare to kill you?"

Chu Yunshang's expression changed, and she saw red shadows flying out from behind her, wandering back and forth around Mr. Zuo.

"A bloody spirit..."

Master Zuo started to tremble.

"You should know that as long as I have a thought, it will beat you until you die." Chu Yunshang said.

Liu Ping placed the application form on the table and said with a smile: "Sir, the staff in front of me said that you need to sign it."

Master Zuo saw this gesture and understood a little bit. He smiled bitterly and said, "As long as I dare to sign, my career will be over."

"Adults actually have a choice, and we are very considerate of your situation." Liu Ping said.

Chu Yunshang's hand increased a little more.

At her level, it would be easy to break Master Zuo's neck.

Mr. Zuo's expression changed continuously. He gritted his teeth, took out a pen and signed his name on the form.

"Zhang Zi." Liu Ping said.

Mr. Zuo's face became darker, he picked up the seal on the table and clicked on the form.

Liu Ping picked up the form and handed it to Chu Yunshang.

Chu Yunshang looked at it carefully and nodded: "No problem."

"Although there are signatures and seals, will Wu Meng deny it?" Liu Ping asked.

Chu Yunshang was startled and said: "According to normal procedures, we have completed the application for closure."

Liu Ping walked to the window and took a look outside.

In several cars on the side of the street, a man in a windbreaker got out of the car and looked towards the Wu Meng building.

The man blew out a puff of smoke, moved his lips slightly, and looked a little impatient.

Liu Ping looked at his lips and followed softly: "You have obviously left the office, why haven't you come out yet?"

"What are you talking about?" Chu Yunshang asked.

"It's okay." Liu Ping said.

——The other party has even moved the killer, so why does it still care about this statement of closing the museum?

This closure statement can only temporarily guarantee the legitimacy of the martial arts gym's existence.

If Chu Yunshang dies, the martial arts school will naturally be gone!

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

There was a knock on the door.

"Master Zuo, everyone is waiting for you." A delicate voice came from outside the door.

Click.

The door handle slowly opened.

Liu Ping drew out his long knife and placed it on Mr. Zuo's neck. He tilted his head towards Chu Yunshang and said, "You go."

"good."

Chu Yunshang turned into an afterimage and reached the door with a slight glance.

As soon as a woman wearing the uniform of a martial alliance official entered the door, Chu Yunshang covered her mouth and hit her on the back of the neck.

The woman passed out before she could see clearly what was going on in the room.

"What to do now?" Chu Yunshang asked.

Liu Ping pulled a chair over, sat down opposite Mr. Zuo, and said with a smile:

"Sir, from now on, your life is in your own hands."

Wisps of wind came out of the long knife, cutting everything on the table in front of Mr. Zuo into pieces.

"What do you want to ask?" Mr. Zuo almost screamed.

He was just an official. He joined the Martial Alliance because of his family's power. He had always been pampered and privileged. How had he ever encountered such a scene?

"Please tell the truth - what did this woman ask you to do?" Liu Ping asked.

"We have internal gatherings every week, after get off work, at the restaurant across the street." Master Zuo said.

"I see."

Liu Ping thought for a moment and took the knife away from his neck.

"Listen up, Master Zuo."

He said solemnly: "I will knock you unconscious - next I will discuss with my companions how to leave. You can't hear me, but you will wake up in about two minutes, and we will have left by then. Do you understand?"

A line of burning small words jumped out instantly:

"You activated a strange power: deception."

Mr. Zuo nodded quickly, even showing an expression of relief.

Liu Ping observed the words and said with a smile: "Actually, it was you who informed the front window that applications were not allowed to be issued. It was also you who told the killers that we were about to go out, wasn't it?"

"No?" Mr. Zuo said with a confused look.

"Then why are you so scared - we can't survive even if we kill officials, you can definitely think of this - but I hear your heartbeat is still so fast." Liu Ping said slowly.

The lip reading of the killer just now——

"They've obviously all left the office."

This half sentence must have been said by someone within the Martial Alliance.

But when he and Chu Yunshang came out of Mr. Zuo's office, there was no one in the corridor.

So it is very likely that he was the killer informed by Mr. Zuo himself.

No wonder he came to approach Chu Yunshang and himself from the beginning, because he had a mission on his shoulders!

Mr. Zuo said hurriedly: "I am——"

"You know there's a killer out there, right?"

"No, I do not know--"

"My heart is beating faster. Give me the communicator."

Liu Ping took the communicator from him, turned to the last call record, and dialed again.

"Du-du-hello? Mr. Zuo, have they come out? I haven't seen them yet."
