Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Chapter 299 Mysterious Scales

Chapter 299 Mysterious Scales

Hu Qing and Gu Yang didn't know the location of the night market, so they quietly spread out their spiritual sense, and everything around them suddenly became extremely clear.

Those spies hiding in the dark thought they were hiding perfectly.

But under the spiritual exploration of the two people, it was like a firefly in the dark night, visible at a glance.

"These people have a pitifully low realm. They haven't even reached the Jindan stage." Gu Yang said in a low voice, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Hu Qing nodded and said calmly: "Don't pay attention to them, let's go find something to eat."

The two turned their attention to finding the location of the night market.

Soon, they locked onto their target - a street not far away, brightly lit and bustling with people, obviously the night market of Deepwater Town.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

After Hu Qing finished speaking, he jumped lightly and jumped onto the eaves.

Gu Yang followed closely behind, and the two of them moved quickly on the roof, running towards the night market.

However, they had not walked far when they discovered that the spies had followed them.

Hu Qing frowned and whispered, "These people seem to have shifted their target to us."

Gu Yang sneered: "It seems that we are being treated as soft persimmons."

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Then, they suddenly separated and went into the dark alley below.

Seeing this, the spies were suddenly a little panicked, but soon split into two groups and chased in the direction of Hu Qing and Gu Yang respectively.

However, as soon as they landed, they felt a powerful pressure coming towards them.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang had already ambushed on both sides of the alley, suppressing these people firmly with the pressure of their realm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After a few muffled thuds, the spies' heads were smashed, leaving only two alive, who were controlled by Hu Qing and Gu Yang respectively.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Hu Qing asked coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

The spy's face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, but he clenched his teeth and said nothing.

The situation in Guyang is the same.

He frowned, his tone filled with impatience: "Don't waste time, just search the soul directly."

However, just as the two were about to take action, the two survivors suddenly bit through the poison in their mouths, a trace of black blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and then they fell to the ground and died.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other, and a hint of solemnity flashed in their eyes.

"These people are so decisive." Gu Yang said in a low voice, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Hu Qing squatted down and carefully examined the spy's body, then shook his head: "The poison was hidden in the teeth, so he was obviously a dead man. It seems that we are being targeted."

Gu Yang frowned, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "But why did their target shift to us?

We've only been in Waterdeep for a few days, so we shouldn't have attracted so much attention."

Hu Qing stood up and stared at the dead body on the ground:

"Perhaps, our arrival has touched upon someone's secret."

Gu Yang squatted down and lifted the mask of the dead man on the ground, revealing a strange face.

He looked at them carefully, frowning slightly: "I have never seen these people before, let alone any hatred between them."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Could it be that Zhao Hui? After all, we just accepted the challenge today, and in the blink of an eye, a assassin came to kill us."

"Maybe. Let's search the body first to see if there are any clues."

Hu Qing also squatted down and examined the other body.

He originally thought that these people were sent by Zhao Hui. After all, they had just arrived in Shenshui Town, and the only person they might have an enemy with was the Zhao family.

However, when he was handling the corpse, his fingers accidentally touched some hard objects, and he suddenly became alert.

"Something's wrong, nine out of ten things are wrong!" Hu Qing said in a low voice, and then lifted up the clothes of the assassin.

I saw that the man's skin was covered with some light green scales, and a sticky liquid was secreted between the scales, emitting a faint fishy smell.

Seeing this, Gu Yang quickly checked several bodies nearby.

Without exception, these assassins all have similar scales on their bodies, some on their arms, some on their chests, and even some on their necks.

"These scales... are very similar to the aura of the masked woman last night." Gu Yang said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Hu Qing nodded, with a hint of doubt in his tone:

"It seems these people weren't sent by Zhao Hui, but are in the same group as the woman from last night. But what is their purpose? Why are they targeting us?"

Gu Yang shook his head, frowning, "I don't know. But these people are obviously not ordinary humans, more like some kind of demon beast bloodline."

A breeze blew, and the smell of blood in the air gradually spread.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and realized that they had to deal with the bodies as soon as possible, otherwise the smell of blood might cause unnecessary trouble.

"Bury the body first." Hu Qing said in a low voice.

The two men acted quickly, dragged the body to a nearby wasteland, dug a deep pit and buried it.

Afterwards, Hu Qing used his spiritual power and transformed into a breeze, picking up the bloody smell in the air and blowing it high into the sky.

"Let's go and continue to the night market." Hu Qing patted the dirt off his hands, his tone somewhat relaxed, as if what happened just now had never happened.

Gu Yang nodded, and the two of them jumped onto the roof again and ran towards the night market.
