Chapter 26 Green Bamboo Snake, Hanging-Eyed Tiger
Chapter 26 Green Bamboo Snake, Hanging-Eyed Tiger
"I expected this."
Li Xin sneered.
Following behind the wounded corpse, he curled up into a ball and rushed inside.
Upon landing, his body dropped low, and he lunged forward, his head and chest almost touching the ground.
He spread his legs into a V-shape and darted under the octagonal table.
boom……
The desktop rose into the air.
The cups, plates, bowls, and dishes fell like a shower of flowers, whipping up a whirlwind. Swirled and swirled by the eight-immortal table, they made a whooshing sound.
clap clap...
Two more gunshots rang out, hitting the tabletop.
Only then did Li Xin realize that it was a tall, thin foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in denim.
A woman with her bare chest was sitting on the foreigner's lap, with a thin strand of hair tucked into her lips.
Startled, he hurriedly stood up, but this did not stop the gun from continuously spitting fire.
"No matter how fast you are, can you outrun a gun?"
The foreigner sneered.
Suddenly his expression changed drastically. He turned his body to the side, pointing the gun at the side... A sharp pain came, and a cold glint pierced his wrist.
He screamed, turned slightly to the side, and touched his waist with his left hand.
The other revolver didn't even need to be drawn; the muzzle was simply raised slightly before the trigger was pulled.
Snapped……
Li Xin's back hair stood on end, his arms were not yet retracted, and his waist twisted to the left, bending into an arc.
The bullet grazed his waist and then missed with a whoosh.
He swayed slightly, took a step forward, and was already close to the foreigner's right side...
With palm raised like a knife, it slashes diagonally at the opponent's Adam's apple.
Qi and blood flow like a long, rolling river, gathering along the edge of the palm.
With a crisp snap, the foreigner's Adam's apple bone was shattered.
"Mmm..."
The blond foreigner dropped his pistol from his right hand, his left hand trembling as he clutched his throat tightly, his eyes bulging like a frog's.
Before he could make another move, a glint of cold light flashed.
The three-edged spike had pierced through his left eye and gone straight to the back of his head.
Without pausing, Li Xin drew his three-edged dagger, leaped into the air, and flew out of the window.
With a light touch of his toes on the wooden pole of the wine banner, he turned and leaped up, like an eagle soaring or a crane dancing, before swooping down with a whoosh.
Hearing the wind rustling through his clothes, Duan Zhong, the "Jade Eagle," who had already sensed something was wrong and jumped out of the window with several knife-wielders to escape, suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and ferocity.
"Don't force me."
He wielded a gleaming longsword with a whooshing sound, wrapping it around his head and slashing diagonally and horizontally.
"Didn't you want to kill me? Then why did you run away?"
Li Xin chuckled softly.
I have to say, this guy is smart.
They were adept at using all sorts of underhanded tricks.
I wanted to force myself to give in, but I couldn't hold back any longer and came knocking on your door.
In fact, I couldn't help myself and let him succeed.
The reason this guy is considered clever is that he even knew how to use one enemy against another, hiring a foreign gunman to lie in ambush in the restaurant.
If one's mental strength is too low and one fails to notice the movement, but instead brazenly rushes to the second floor, one might easily be ambushed by him.
Others might not know, but Li Xin knew just by looking at the blond, tall, thin man's attire that this guy must be the American musketeer.
His shooting speed and accuracy were almost as good as mine.
Being caught off guard and suddenly attacked, even if you are very fast, you may still die on the spot.
This demonstrates the ruthlessness of the Jade Eagle.
Therefore, Li Xin killed the musketeer immediately, without wasting a second, and then chased downstairs to kill the "Jade Eagle".
Being watched by such a bold and ruthless creature, he couldn't even sleep well.
"You're too slow."
As the blade slashed diagonally down in front of him, Li Xin reversed his grip on the three-edged dagger, not only not retreating, but instead taking a step forward, gliding like he was on ice.
It had already rushed past under the blade.
The wind howled like blades.
It picked up a few strands of hair.
A flash of cold light pierced through Duan Zhong's elbow and through his eagle claws.
With a soft "plop," it went down into his throat.
This move is both fast and ruthless; when it is thrust out, the tip of the cone cuts through the wind with a sharp whistling sound.
It was the Eight Trigrams Killing Move, "Azure Dragon Probing Claw".
It dies upon seeing the claws.
With the enhancement of 34 points of agility.
Let alone Duan Zhong, the "Jade-Eyed Eagle".
Even Cheng Feiyan, who had mastered Baguazhang to the bone and achieved great mastery of internal strength, might not be able to block it.
After quickly killing Duan Zhong.
Li Xin kept running and caught up with the several knife-wielders who were fleeing in all directions.
After killing them all, he turned back, took a money pouch from Duan Zhong's body, and went back into the restaurant.
This time, everyone was wiped out, leaving only a woman with her chest exposed, sitting slumped on the ground in fear.
There was a wet stain on the floor, clearly indicating that the person had wet themselves in fright.
Li Xin glanced at her, but before he could speak, the woman started to back away, crawling and crying, "Don't kill me! I was forced into this! If I don't stay with this foreigner, Duan Zhong will beat me to death! Waaah..."
"Where is the cash box?"
Li Xin first searched the foreigner and found two pistols, a flash of joy crossing his eyes.
Because he found a box of bullets, thirty in total, in the pouch on the other man's waist.
As for the other silver and silver dollars, they were just extras and I didn't look at them closely.
After searching for a while, finally, in the direction the woman was pointing, he opened the cabinet door and found a money bag.
He picked it up, opened it, and found a pile of loose silver and two gold ingots inside...
Yes, Xiaoyue will definitely like it.
He shook his head, chuckled, and turned to leave.
Just as they were about to leave, a faint red glow unexpectedly emanated from the woman.
Li Xin paused slightly and sighed.
I turned and went downstairs, disappearing into the deep night.
A dozen or so pale red lights flew into my mind like fireflies from behind me.
"Are these the onlookers?"
"We underestimated the hatred the local people had for the Qing brand. Although no one cheered or applauded openly after killing these people from the restaurant, they were secretly extremely pleased."
At the same time, he was extremely grateful to himself for being the one who performed the surgery.
Trust does not lie.
Li Xin was especially shocked when that golden light drifted over.
Overjoyed, he turned to look.
In a dark corner, a little boy with twisted and broken legs was lying on the ground, sobbing.
The look in their eyes was tinged with tears.
……
"What? Yuanfeng Restaurant was massacred, even Duan Zhong was killed, not a single one escaped?"
Silver Hook Gambling House.
The clattering of dice and dominoes filled the air.
Tang Si Niang sat behind the bar, her mouth, painted blood red, wide open as if she were about to devour someone.
"I saw it with my own eyes... I followed the shopkeeper's instructions and stayed far away, disguised as a passerby."
At first, I could hear loud shouts and clinking glasses from the restaurant.
Duan Zhong had a very loud voice, boasting that he wasn't afraid the person wouldn't come, but rather that the person was a coward.
He also said that if his scheme succeeded, he could avenge Master Ba, and that the shopkeeper, being such a coward, could never outmaneuver him...
An old man with an orange peel-like face, hunched over, bowed his head to report.
"Don't say the last sentence. I'm asking you, where is that foreign devil named Paul?"
"Duan Zhong has been serving you good wine and meat for so many days, and you haven't made a move?"
"He died too. He was stabbed twice, once in the throat and once in the eye... His head was pierced through, and he died stiffly."
However, before I went upstairs, I heard a few gunshots.
"Even foreign guns couldn't kill him, what kind of freak is this?"
Tang Si Niang was known as the "Green Bamboo Snake," and outsiders couldn't help but feel a chill just hearing her name.
But at this moment, she felt that the wind around her seemed to have become chilling.
It felt as if there were a pair of eyes around me, coldly watching me.
After a long silence, she continued, "You saw it, how skilled was that person in martial arts?"
"His martial arts skills are hard to say..."
The old man spoke slowly, and before Tang Si Niang could even smile, he continued, "His movements were too fast; when he made his move, I couldn't even see his fist or his knife."
"call out……"
Tang Si Niang could no longer sit still. She took a deep breath and suddenly stood up: "Can't you see clearly, or don't you understand?"
Although Zhao Cangtou, one of his men, looked unremarkable, was old, and not very agile, this was only an appearance.
The old man was a ruthless man in his youth; his eyes were sharp and he was very knowledgeable.
Even though his physical strength has declined and his martial arts skills have deteriorated, seven or eight strong men still can't do anything to him.
He made a living in the gambling den with just his two hands and one eye, yet now he was telling himself that he couldn't see through other people's moves...
How fast would that be?
"His movements, footwork, and hand techniques were all unusually fast."
His strength wasn't particularly great, but his speed was astonishing; most people wouldn't even have the chance to touch him.
"It's progressing so fast, we can't fight them head-on. It seems we need to change our plans."
Tang Si Niang pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Stop the poisoning plan. We can't attract that kid's attention."
However, I still need the boss's position. Wasn't the goal revenge? Now that a foreigner is dead, perfect. I'll let the foreigner know about that kid and see what he does then.
"Shopkeeper, it's the rule of the trade..."
"Don't talk to me about the rules of the martial arts world. He's just a clueless brat."
Did they think that by becoming Cheng Yuanhua's apprentice, they could do whatever they wanted?
If you give the Cheng family face, he is the master of Bagua.
If you don't give him face, he's just a lousy old man teaching martial arts in the countryside. Who can he scare? These days, everyone knows that foreigners are the most powerful.
"Killing the foreigner will not only make that brat regret it, but I'll also bring shame upon Cheng Yuanhua."
Tang Si Niang snorted coldly, her long eyes narrowing into slits.
She waved her hand, dismissing Old Zhao, and then smiled broadly.
"Brother Anzi, I'll have to trouble you again this time."
"I'm here to seek refuge, not to be your henchman. Fourth Sister, after all these years, you still have the same stubborn and greedy personality."
On one side of the bar, a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man was drinking alone with a few meat dishes on the table. Hearing this, he spoke without even looking up.
"Oh dear, who doesn't know your formidable reputation, Li An [Hanging-Eyed Tiger]? Not only are you a master of both fist and spear, but you also have skin of copper and bones of iron. This time, my little sister is truly in danger, as you just heard..."
"That's your problem..."
The dark-faced middle-aged man suddenly paused, took a sip of wine, frowned, and said, "This wine is quite bland; it's been a while since I've stretched my muscles. If you give me three more girls, it's not out of the question."
"Two, no more than that. You're too rough, always looking for naive youngsters. They're all worth a lot of money, I can't let you kill them so easily."
"Okay, two it is."
The dark-faced middle-aged man revealed a bloodthirsty expression and chuckled.
