Chapter 86: Killing the Envoy, the Ferryman! (Subscribe)
The ferryman who came to pick them up had his pupils shrunk to the size of a pinhole. He only caught a glimpse of the sword light from the corner of his eyes, and his heart was filled with great fear.
The sword light was like a stream of autumn water, absolutely unavoidable.
The blade touched the skin.
Flip your wrist! Sweep it sideways!
A long and narrow gash was torn in the ferryman's throat, and a spurt of blood gushed out, splashing into blood flowers in the air.
Passersby on the street screamed and ran away, and in the blink of an eye, only Xu Zishuai and others were left.
The ferryman's eyes widened, he covered his throat, looked up at Xu Zishuai's face in disbelief, stumbled backwards, his feet tripped over the edge of the boat, and he was about to fall into the water, but his back suddenly felt support.
The ferryman looked up and saw a spear pressed against his back.
The river tide hits the rocks, and the sound of flowing water never stops.
A tall young man stood on the shore, his upper body shrouded in shadow and his expression unrecognizable.
Liang Qu shook his forearm and knocked the ferryman back with his spear.
The ferryman fell back into the boat, blood still gushing from his throat and making a hoarse sound. He stretched out his hand, his fingers trembling, as if he wanted to curse something.
Xu Zishuai sneered: "You are pretending well. I will peel off your human skin."
The ferryman seemed not to hear. After glaring for a few seconds, he completely lost his breath and was about to fall down, but the tip of the spear had already touched his back.
With a gentle poke, I realized that it was the tip of a gun that had pierced my back. Blood mixed with cold sweat quickly soaked my back.
The river wind was so cold that it seemed to freeze even the bones into pieces.
Liang Qu said coldly: "We already knew about the Painted Skin Method. We advise you to be honest."
Everything that could be said in the letter from Zhao Hongyuan was clearly stated.
The so-called ferryman is actually a dwarf, but he is covered with refined human skin. Once stimulated, the skin will wriggle and grow together on its own, becoming similar to that of an ordinary person. This is called the painted skin method.
This is similar to the shadow beast skin that Senior Brother Lu used when he refined Fu Bo for him.
Senior Brother Xu's sword seemed fatal, but in fact it was completely harmless.
Unfortunately, no matter how many tricks he used, they were useless. He could not get rid of the fact that he was a rower. If someone had the ability, who would be willing to be a boatman?
Even though his trick was discovered, the ferryman remained motionless.
Xu Zishuai didn't give in either. He swung his sword and started to peel off the outer layer of fake skin, revealing a dwarf about one meter tall inside.
At this time, the dwarf gave up his disguise and shouted, "I won't tell you anything. I have a blood curse on me! If you tell me, you will die suddenly. Forget it!"
"You want to say something but we don't want to hear it." Liang Qu hugged the spear, quite speechless.
There are a lot of old people in the Ghost Mother Sect, so just throw this hot potato to the imperial court.
As for the blood curse, it is a way to inject qi and blood into other people's bodies to form a spider silk web, absorbing the qi and blood of the person being bound and lasting for a long time. It is a way to control the life and death of other people. It can be triggered passively or actively.
They really couldn't solve this problem, but could the imperial court not have it?
I don’t know if Zhao Hongyuan has it. If he doesn’t, it would be really against the will of heaven.
After getting the ferryman, Xu Zishuai put away his sword and said, "Let's go to the Zhao Mansion and see Senior Brother Lu."
"it is good."
Liang Qu pulled out a hemp rope and tied the dwarf up like a hairy crab. After he was done, he held the dwarf in his hands and followed Xu Zishuai straight to the Zhao Mansion.
The entire street was empty. What they had just done was enough to scare away the townspeople.
The Zhao Mansion was filled with smoke and dust, and all the servants ran away.
When Lu Gang stepped over half of the screen wall and came to the center of the courtyard, the half-collapsed main house finally couldn't bear it and collapsed completely.
The roof of the main house is covered with composite tiles. For the sake of comfort, Zhao Hongyuan also covered it with plaster. The entire roof is extremely heavy. Once the top beam breaks, it is only a matter of time before the main house collapses completely.
Smoke and dust rose up. Lu Gang did not approach rashly.
According to Zhao Hongyuan, the envoy's strength was at the middle level of Wolf Smoke Realm, one small realm higher than him, so he dared to preside over the blood sacrifice alone.
Even though he took the initiative and inflicted heavy damage on his opponent, he still had to be careful.
Lu Gang looked around and saw a beam in front of a wing room. He took a step forward and chopped it down with his knife. The whole pillar broke smoothly. He grabbed it with his arm and pulled it down.
He lowered his body and took a deep breath. His muscles bulged and his strength flowed like water waves, transferred to the big pillar, and suddenly thrown towards the ruins of the main house.
A burst of white mist floated in the air and then quickly dissipated.
The giant tree rushed out from the darkness, tearing through the air currents, and its copper-clad head stuck heavily into the ruins.
The big pillar is controlled by Qi and is now several times harder than fine steel!
The broken tiles turned into powder in an instant, and the giant tree rushed straight to the deepest part, unstoppable!
Huang Zejun, who was hiding in it, finally lost his patience and jumped up to avoid the huge tree that was sinking straight into the ground.
He kicked up with his leg, splitting the pillar in half, then spun around in the air and kicked back half of the giant tree.
Huang Zejun didn't bother to check the results of the battle. He turned around, rushed out of the ruins, and shot out of the house.
Hu Qi on another roof had been waiting for a long time. He drew his bow to the full moon and shot an arrow!
The rolling air flow broke through and appeared in front of Huang Zejun in a flash.
The arrows fired by the mere fourth-level martial artist couldn't even penetrate the martial artist's protective qi. Huang Zejun didn't take it seriously at all, but his body still subconsciously dodged them. That was enough!
Lu Gang took a step forward, and a huge pit suddenly appeared on the ground. A huge tree fell into the pit and broke into countless diamond-shaped pieces of wood.
The rolling sound waves came towards him, and the vigorous blood energy burst out, lingering in the air. Huang Zejun's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned around and tried his best to block it.
boom!
Thunder exploded in the cold night, and the huge roar spread over a hundred meters around.
Huang Zejun was smashed down in mid-air, rolled on the ground, plowed a deep pit dozens of meters long, and knocked down an ear room. He barely stood firm, and Lu Gang attacked again!
"Lu Gang! Do you think I'm afraid of you? Take my punch!"
Huang Zejun was furious. He ignored the pain in his body and stimulated his blood. His body felt like it was on fire and turned red all over. He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and the bricks and stones shattered into pieces, accompanied by gusts of wind.
He took a step forward, twisted his body, clenched his five fingers together, and threw a punch.
Strong winds cut across his face and air currents exploded, just like two huge siege timbers colliding with each other.
boom!
The force is like a mad dragon dancing wildly, and the earth is like a dragon rolling over in the deep.
An area of dozens of meters in radius sank several feet as all the bricks and stones inside exploded, forming a regular yellow mud circle around the two people.
The surging blood and energy tangled into two blurry shadows that emerged from behind the two men, like tigers and pythons, looming in the darkness.
Huang Zejun was surprised when he saw Lu Gang's steady breath. He gathered his strength and tried to use his horn to knock him away, but the surging blood and energy burst out from his arms, and he had to disappear silently like a mud dragon entering the sea.
He was shocked. What was this force? Like a millstone?
Lu Gang was also extremely surprised. Huang Zejun had been seriously injured in a sneak attack beforehand, and his entire sternum was probably broken, but he was still able to hold on!
As expected of the Ghost Mother Cult's envoy, he may not be smart, but his strength is not weak at all.
The vigorous air waves continued to explode like rolling winter thunder.
The two men fought with fists and feet, and the murderous aura broke through the sky, which was extremely violent.
On the eaves, Hu Qi stared at the battlefield intently, his hand on the bowstring, ready to provide support at any time.
With his abilities, he couldn't cause any harm at all, but he was able to interfere with Huang Zejun's escape.
If he can interfere, then his existence is valuable.
Just as Lu Gang and Huang Zejun were fighting fiercely and Hu Qi was concentrating, a hand quietly touched his shoulder.
Hu Qi was startled, turned around and found that it was Xu Zishuai, then looked at Liang Qu who was holding a dwarf next to him, and said happily: "Brother Xu, did you catch the ferryman?"
"Yes." Xu Zishuai nodded and took the longbow away. "Leave it to me next!"
