234: Transaction Information
Zhang Chongfei thrust his sword fiercely into Zhang Wu's lower abdomen.
Meanwhile, the dagger in Zhang Wu's hand once again stabbed into Zhang Chongfei's vital chest area, his expression turning ferocious.
In truth, for Zhang Wu, whether Zhang Chongfei lived or died was no longer important; he was going to be killed by Li Changfeng anyway.
As such, Zhang Wu only wanted to survive; that was what he wanted most of all.
"Zhang Wu, I want you dead!" Zhang Chongfei spat out a mouthful of blood.
The crimson blood sprayed into the air and then fell onto Zhang Wu's face, immediately releasing a thick, metallic scent of blood.
Li Changfeng happened to be nearby, quietly watching this scene without the slightest hint of shock in his heart.
In fact, Li Changfeng had seen scenes like this many times; the Jianghu was like this—if you were weak, you would be killed, and if you were strong, you could kill others.
For Zhang Chongfei and Zhang Wu, their goals were simple: both just wanted to survive.
"You dog, Zhang Wu!" Zhang Chongfei looked as if his eyes were about to bulge out as he glared fixedly at Zhang Wu; at this moment, he wished for nothing more than to kill him.
"A dog? Aren't you also just a house dog for Mulan Manor? Did you really think that because you're a Commander, everyone has to indulge you?" Zhang Wu wore a ferocious expression as he clenched his fists tightly.
Thud, thud, thud.
Zhang Wu reached out and smashed his fists into Zhang Chongfei's body one after another.
Whether it was the wounds left by the dagger or the pain from the punches, it was more than Zhang Chongfei could bear.
"Kill!" Zhang Chongfei summoned all his remaining strength to shout this out before his body fell heavily to the ground, filled with helplessness.
Then, Zhang Chongfei stopped breathing, his body slumping heavily onto the ground.
Zhang Wu suddenly dropped to one knee, his eyes completely hollow.
Zhang Chongfei had died just like that, at the hands of a Mulan Manor disciple.
Zhang Wu remained kneeling by Zhang Chongfei's side; his pupils trembled slightly as he reached out to check Zhang Chongfei's breath.
Only after confirming that Zhang Chongfei had stopped breathing did Zhang Wu heave a long sigh of relief; everything he had done today felt like a dream.
"Dead?" Li Changfeng lightly tapped his toes and stepped softly to Zhang Wu's side.
And at that moment.
Li Changfeng smiled slightly as he watched the scene.
Zhang Wu killing Zhang Chongfei had saved Li Changfeng some trouble, but this Zhang Wu was indeed quite ruthless; to survive, he really would do anything.
This scene did indeed touch Li Changfeng somewhat.
"Yes, Big Brother, I killed Zhang Chongfei for you!" Zhang Wu quickly stood up to face Li Changfeng.
Zhang Wu smiled slightly and pointed at Zhang Chongfei not far away.
The Mulan Manor Guard Commander had died just like that, at the hands of a Mulan Manor disciple.
"Killed Zhang Chongfei for me? Do you think I needed your help to be able to kill him?" Li Changfeng asked darkly and faintly.
Li Changfeng was displeased; as he spoke, a cold glint erupted from his eyes as he glared fixedly at Zhang Wu.
For Li Changfeng, it was enough that Zhang Chongfei was dead; it didn't matter who did it. As long as Zhang Chongfei was dead, Physician Chen would be out of danger.
"No, no, it's not like that!" Zhang Wu hurriedly shook his head, not wanting to offend Li Changfeng at a time like this.
After all, Li Changfeng's strength was too formidable; if he became even slightly displeased, he would surely strike and kill Zhang Wu directly.
If that happened, Zhang Wu would be in real trouble.
Zhang Wu took a deep breath to calm himself down, then turned back to look at Li Changfeng.
"Actually, I felt that killing such a person would only dirty your hands, so I thought it better that I do it myself!" Zhang Wu smiled slightly.
To save his own life, Zhang Wu was truly using every tactic available to him.
Li Changfeng naturally knew what Zhang Wu was thinking, but for Zhang Wu, he simply wanted to live and survive.
"Dirty my hands? But I prefer doing my own business myself. If you killed Zhang Chongfei for me, then what am I supposed to do?" Li Changfeng's lips curled into a smirk as he spoke provocatively.
"Of course, there's another thing. I originally wanted to get the latest information about Mulan Manor from Zhang Chongfei's mouth."
"But now that he's dead, what do you expect me to do?"
Li Changfeng's face was grim, a cold glint erupting from his eyes as he stared fixedly at Zhang Wu.
But at that moment.
Hearing these words, Zhang Wu took a sharp breath; he had not expected this outcome.
Moreover, Zhang Wu felt even more helplessness; he had thought he could survive comfortably, but instead, he had fallen into this predicament.
"Big Brother, I didn't mean it! I thought I could resolve some trouble for you; I had good intentions!" Zhang Wu took a deep breath and first forced himself to calm down.
Zhang Wu's survival instinct was very strong. He first tore his robes into shreds, then used the strips of cloth to tightly bind his wounds.
The sword wound on Zhang Wu's body looked very serious, and blood had already begun to seep through the cloth strips.
"Not on purpose? But now I can no longer learn what I wanted to know. I'm going to blame this entire matter on you." Li Changfeng's face was grim as he turned back, a cold glint erupting from those bright eyes of his as he stared fixedly at Zhang Wu.
This fellow was only doing this to save his life; otherwise, he wouldn't have used such methods to curry favor.
Speaking of which, it was quite annoying that he would use such a method.
To survive, Zhang Wu hadn't hesitated to act personally and kill Zhang Chongfei; he really was ruthless.
"Tell me, what should be done now?" Li Changfeng's face was grim, a cold glint erupting from his eyes.
In truth, for Li Changfeng, whether Zhang Wu lived or died didn't matter; even if he died, it would have no impact on Li Changfeng.
However, Zhang Wu's methods left Li Changfeng feeling somewhat helpless; they were clearly both from Mulan Manor.
Yet Zhang Wu had personally killed Zhang Chongfei just to stay alive.
A person would truly do anything just to stay alive; it really left me feeling helpless.
"Big Brother, I don't know! What should I do? Why don't you tell me!" Zhang Wu turned back, his bright eyes looking at Li Changfeng.
At this moment, Zhang Wu was even more conflicted, not knowing what to do for the best.
After all, there was no other way.
"Actually, it's very simple. As long as you can help me find some information—for instance, the things I want to know—I can spare your life." Li Changfeng's lips curled into a cold smile. "Understand?"
