“Qingshi, you… You’re not dead? So it was really Zhang Qinghu who died? I’m so confused…” Commander Zhang was extremely shocked, “What’s going on with you brothers? Why was Qinghu killed? Why are you pretending to be Qinghu?”

His eyes suddenly widened, “Did you kill your brother?”

Li Lianhua looked at Zhang Qingshi carefully. His eye twitched slightly, and then he looked at Yang Qiuyue cautiously.

“Actually…” Yang Qiuyue began to speak. At that moment, a gentle breeze suddenly blew through the room and Zhang Qingmao let out a scream, causing everyone to be surprised.

Suddenly, the six torches in their hands were extinguished simultaneously, and all that could be heard was the sound of bodies hitting each other and a series of falls, then there was dead silence.

Fang Duobing shouted into the darkness, “Where are you running?!” Then someone suddenly disappeared.

A ball of fire slowly lit up from above. They all looked at the source of light to see that Li Lianhua had somehow climbed up the wall and was clutching the stone while holding a torch as he looked away scaredly.

Fang Duobing’s expression changed. He had just fought three people in the dark with complicated moves. He couldn’t figure out how, but the murderer used some serious internal strength and killed Zhang Qinghsi with one blow of their palm!

“I didn’t expect him to be so ruthless. Qingshi is still… ” Ge Pan sighed and saw that Zhang Qingshi, who had just been alive, had had his skull shattered in an instant and died on the spot without being able to say a word. He sat on the ground, his head hanging sideways, and his mouth seemed to exude a strange smile. In this damp, cold, pitch-black tomb filled with human bones, the sight was even more terrifying.

Li Lianhua, who was still hiding on the wall of the tunnel, looked a little pale. Fang Duobing looked at the state of Zhang Qingshi’s body, “What a powerful blow…”

Ge Pan had already rushed over to help Commander Zhang stand up. Commander Zhang had been shot in the arm by a dart, injuring a tendon. He was very unsettled and upset, and now he was staring blankly at Zhang Qingshi’s body with a look of extreme fear in his eyes.

They soon learned that the person who escaped was Gu Fengxin. They were left with a dead Zhang Qingshi, Commander Zhang who was injured, and Yang Qiuyue who stood aside with a pale face and his hands clenched tightly in fists.

Ge Pan turned to Yang Qiuyue and said calmly, “The matter is already very clear. The person who killed the Zhang brothers was either Gu Fengxin or you.”

Yang Qiuyue suddenly raised his head and stared at Ge Pan but kept silent.

Ge Pan continued, “And among the two, you are the most suspicious. Gu Fengxin is clearly not a fool and escaped to save himself. Since the real murderer dared to lure Murong Wuyan and Wu Guang into an ambush and also dared to kill The two Zhang brothers, he seems to be very stupid. That sounds a lot like it applies to you.”

Yang Qiuyue took a step back and glanced at Fang Duobing.

Fang Duobing was already confused. Listening to Ge Pan’s words, it made sense. He looked at Yang Qiuyue and then at Commander Zhang, his brows furrowed.

Ge Pan’s eyes had a strange coldness to them, “And you, let me see if you have the skill to have murdered the Zhang brothers.” He slapped Yang Qiuyue’s chest with a palm, and Yang Qiuyue blocked it with a cross-arm. Ge Pan then raised his hand to attack again and Yang Qiuyue had no choice but to escape the movement by splitting the air with his fingers.
