Chương 8: Chapter 8 - A Narrow Escape from Danger.

With the No. 18 mine, a second explosion occurred, and the entire mining area shook.

It even alarmed the patrol disciples of Jiufeng Law Enforcement Hall.

A team of law enforcement disciples from outside rushed to Mine No. 18 to inquire about the cause of the shock.

At this time, outside the No. 18 mine, it was already crowded by the crowd, and Deacon Liu stood in the center of the crowd with a gloomy face covered in ashes.

"Liu Hong, what happened?"

Headed by the law enforcement team, a short-haired young man with a strong figure and bright eyes asked in a deep voice.

Seeing the visitor, Liu Hong's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Captain Wu, why are you here too? I just arrived here, and there was a mine collapse inside."

Although Liu Hong is a deacon, these law enforcement disciples are all formal disciples of the outer door, and their status is comparable to him.

And the captain Wu in front of him is even more powerful and has a deep background, and he dare not neglect it at all.

When Captain Wu heard this, he frowned and said, "Don't go and see how the casualties are inside. The collapse of the mine is not a trivial matter."

"Yes yes!"

Liu Hong hurriedly took a few handyman disciples and took the lead into the mine.

Seeing that there was no danger inside, Captain Wu just waved and led a team of law enforcement disciples into it.

When everyone entered the mine, they saw a very miserable scene.

Under the rubble all over the ground, the corpses of several handyman disciples were half-exposed and half-covered, blood flowed on the ground, and there were broken limbs and broken arms. Looking around, there was no survivor.

Liu Hong searched in the mine, and finally fixed his gaze on the corner of the mine.

One was pressed by a stone slab, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, his eyes turned white, and his eyes were on the figure of a young man who was dead.

"This kid is also dead."

This figure was Zhao Heng, although the collapse of the mine and the explosion just now were extremely weird.

But at least after killing the disobedient kid, Liu Hong was barely able to accept it.

"Hurry up, get these corpses out!"

Liu Hong immediately ordered a group of handyman disciples.

While everyone was cleaning up the body.

"Ahem...!"

Suddenly a weak cough came from the corner of the mine, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw Zhao Heng, who had been crushed to death by the slate, opened his eyes tenaciously again.

"Help...help, I can still...rescue!"

Everyone was taken aback, Liu Hong's eyes widened even more, and he only hesitated for a moment. With a flash of cold light in his eyes, he approached Zhao Heng.

Captain Wu, who was on the side, said loudly at this time: "You two go and rescue the survivors and send them to the hospital for treatment."

Two law enforcement disciples hurriedly stepped forward to rescue Zhao Heng from under the stone slab, while Liu Hong was forced to stop.

With the help of two law enforcement disciples, Zhao Heng walked out of the cave with difficulty, and looked back at Liu Hong.

The latter had a gloomy expression and stared at Zhao Heng, the murderous intent in his eyes almost uncontrollable.

But Liu Hong knew that there was a law enforcement team here, and he had no chance to start.

After everyone cleaned up the mine, Captain Wu said to Liu Hong.

"Deacon Liu, this time the mine vein collapsed and a number of handyman disciples died. As the deacon in charge of the mining area, you are not to blame."Captain Wu said in a bad tone.

Liu Hong, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard the words.

He knew that the accident in the mine could be big or small. If Captain Wu wanted to pursue it, he could even arrest him in the law enforcement hall, interrogate him severely, and punish him for dereliction of duty.

It would be terrible if Zhao Heng, who had just been taken away, gave up some other secrets.

Liu Hong hurriedly whispered: "Captain Wu, this was an accident, and I don't want it to happen. You have to help me."

Captain Wu grinned when he heard this: "It's easy to say, we two are old acquaintances, and the captain is naturally facing you.

It's just that I'm not in charge of this matter alone. I have to lobby for you and owe others for this matter. This is a bit difficult..."

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Hong's mouth twitched slightly, knowing what the other party meant.

Helpless, he could only take out a bag full of Xuanjing from his body, and stuffed it to Captain Wu with great pain.

"Excuse me, Captain Wu, say a few words for me, this is a little bit of my heart!"

Captain Wu took the package, weighed it in his hand, and quickly stuffed it into his pocket before patting Liu Hong on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Deacon Liu, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter, brothers, close the team!""

Captain Wu led the people away, leaving only Liu Hong with a livid face.

Looking back on everything that happened today, the explosion at the entrance of the mine, and Zhao Heng's lucky survival, he felt extremely strange, but he couldn't find direct evidence.

"This must have something to do with Zhao Heng, son of a bitch, even you can't kill me, I'm a deacon for nothing!"

...

An hour later, Zhao Heng had already returned to the handyman peak.

The disciple of Law Enforcement Hall was not so kind. He took one of his handyman disciples to treat him. Zhao Heng went to buy a few packs of herbal medicines at will, and came back after doing it.

Sitting on the wooden bed in the dormitory at this moment, Zhao Heng recalled what happened in the mine today, and he was still very sorry in his heart.

In the mine, he used thunderstorm beads and his own force to eliminate all the handyman disciples who wanted to attack him.

He also disguised the illusion of a collapsed mine and set a thunderball at the entrance of the cave.

All this was done to kill Liu Hong and never suffer from it.

And once the thunderball explodes, after the energy is released, it will not leave any traces, and no one will guess that it was done by themselves.

This plan was originally seamless, but Liu Hong was so alert that he avoided this mortal catastrophe.

"After this incident, Liu Hong will definitely suspect that the deaths of Deng Xing, Du Changqing, and those handyman disciples in the mine are all related to me. I am afraid that I will never die with me!"

Zhao Heng couldn't help rubbing his forehead to relieve his anxiety.

He was really helpless. When he came to this world, he just wanted to stay in the sect and practice well, but he got into big trouble with Liu Hong.

Zhao Heng also thought of seeking Yun Qingxue's help. With the strength and identity of the opponent, he was naturally not afraid of Liu Hong.

But Zhao Heng denied this idea. The so-called "where there are women, there are rivers and lakes", not to mention a stunning beauty like Yun Qingxue.

Once there is an intersection with her, the ghost knows how much trouble it will cause. At that time, won't there be more people who want to harm themselves.

"No, I have to rely on myself for this matter. In order to be able to eat and sleep in the future, this Liu Hong... must die!

There are still 20 days left for the handyman assessment. Presumably Liu Hong will never let me pass. I must find a way to pass the assessment first, leave the mining area, and then find a way to kill him."

Zhao Heng made up his mind and immediately prepared for the handyman assessment.

Last night, Zhao Heng, who took a quenched body pill, had already broken through to the seventh level of quenched body realm in his cultivation base.

With the perfectly transformed Qingsong Jue, his strength can completely crush ordinary warriors of the same level, and he can even fight hard with the eight-fold warriors of the quenched physical realm.

Moreover, the medicinal power of Quen Ti Dan has not been fully digested, and it is estimated that in the next few days, his cultivation speed will increase a lot.

"It's a pity that Cracked stone Boxing still hasn't got started. If I can get started with this set of martial arts before the handyman's assessment, or if there is a breakthrough in my cultivation level, my probability of passing the assessment will be higher!"

However, it is obviously difficult to achieve these two points by ordinary means, and you still have to rely on "Dao dice".

Zhao Heng took out all his belongings.

A red bellyband with amazing defensive power, a violent thunder bead, a black golden leopard head knife, a pack of lime powder, and half a bottle of corpse powder.

There are also the remaining sixty mysterious crystals that were rolled the dice before.

More than 60 mysterious crystals are only enough to shake the dice six times. It is definitely not enough to accumulate "luck", but you can also take a chance.

It's a big deal that after you get the money, you can go around the Nine Peaks of Zongmen by yourself, maybe you can get something like "Thunderball".

After making up his mind and holding the mentality of giving it a try, Zhao Heng consumed ten Xuanjing and shook the dice again.

"Wow...!"

The dice whirled for a while, then suddenly froze.

"Om...!"

Two bright red dots appeared in front of Zhao Heng.

"Shaking skill Two is 'perfect transformation', which can transform all items except life. Is it used now?"

"It's actually two o'clock!"

Zhao Heng's gaze shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

After Dice transformed the Qingsong Jue at the beginning, not only did he improve his technique to the first level, but his cultivation speed also doubled several times, and the strong effect can be seen.

Zhao Heng just thought for a moment, and then directly ordered: "Use skills!"

The next moment, a silver light group appeared in front of Zhao Heng.

"Please put in the items."

Zhao Heng immediately touched it from his arms and took out a light yellow book.

"Fanpin's lower-level martial arts "Cracked Stone Fist"."

This martial art was obtained by Zhao Heng when he killed Deng Xing at the foot of Niujiaoshan.

With this martial art, Deng Xing completely suppressed Zhao Heng. If he hadn't used Yin tricks, he would have died in the first place.

Zhao Heng has also studied this cracked stone fist for a while, but he can't even "get started".

Usually, the entry stage of martial arts is divided into: entry, small success, medium success, and great success.

Zhao Heng estimated that with his own talent, it would be impossible for him to cultivate the cracked stone fist to a great success in three to five decades, or even a lifetime.

But now with the perfect transformation of Taoist dice, everything has turned around.

Zhao Heng resolutely put "Fist of Cracked Stone" into the light group...
