Chapter 51: The Mysterious Man in Black
When Liu Wuxian arrived, the oil mill had burned to the point that only a shell remained, but fortunately, most of the workers had already stopped work and went home.
There were no casualties, and the oil refined in it burned out, with a loss of at least 500,000 gold coins.
The sky-high fire illuminated half of Canglan City, the location of the oil mill, not in the city, but in the suburbs, and many people hurried to help put out the fire.
"Innocent, you're here!"
Xu Yilin took the first step and stood on the periphery of the fire, the fire had been controlled and would not continue to spread.
The fierce flames crackled and crackled, and the huge building collapsed with a bang.
"Father-in-law, the safety measures of the oil mill have always been very good, how could it suddenly catch fire. ”
The Xu family's guards and subordinates all came over to participate in the firefighting, the flames became smaller and smaller, and a large amount of scorched wood, mixed with grease emitted a strange smell.
Many people gathered in the distance, who came to watch in the middle of the night, covering their noses.
"There will be absolutely no problems with our security measures. ”
Although the oil mill is not the main source of income for the Xu family, it also attaches great importance to it, and Deacon Lan has to inspect it every day, and suddenly it caught fire, which is very unusual, and the investigation team only left tonight.
"What does my father-in-law mean, someone deliberately set the fire?"
Sacrificing the ghost pupil technique, passing through the layers of flames, reaching the depths of the oil mill, and then his eyes shrank, and many holes were pierced by sharp weapons appeared on the oil barrels placed, and the grease overflowed, which would lead to a fire.
"I'm not sure for the time being, and I'll find out until the investigation is clear. ”
The Xu family can afford to lose an oil mill, and if they don't find out who is behind it, next time not only the oil mill, but also the weapons mill, will become their target.
"Father-in-law, you immediately take someone to the next oil mill and check it carefully. ”
Liu Wuxian didn't say what he saw, who did it, at first he suspected that it was Tian and Wanjia, and was quickly overturned.
Tian and Wan are also involved in other industries, it is really the two of them who do it, and the Xu family can also set fire to their shops, this kind of practice will only hurt both sides, and the suspicion of the two families is not big.
"Innocent, then be careful!"
Xu Yilin led the guards to another oil mill quickly, leaving ten guards behind to protect Liu Wuxie's safety.
The flames disappeared, and the smoke billowed out, choking everyone's eyes.
"You say, who ignited the Xu family's oil mill?"
There was a whisper in the distance, the Xujia Oil Mill has been built for decades, and there has never been an accident, and tonight is a little too weird, such a big flame is by no means unusual.
"I heard that the Xu family offended the investigation team, could it be that the investigation team asked people to do it?"
There were even people who suspected the head of the investigation team, they had only left Canglan City not long ago, and they were indeed suspicious.
Pulling out his handkerchief and covering his nose, Liu Wuxian walked towards the ruins step by step, hoping to find some clues.
"Uncle, don't go in, there's danger inside. ”
The house had not completely collapsed, and if he rushed in, he might be stoned to death, and the guards behind him rushed out and told him not to go in.
"Look around and see if there's anything suspicious. ”
Liu Wuxian waved his hand and told them not to follow, stepping on the charred dead wood, entering the inside of the oil mill, there was a slight spark coming out, and the smoke blocked his vision, with the help of the ghost pupil technique, he could see it clearly.
After the Ghost Pupil Technique was promoted, it lasted longer, blocking the scorched wall in front of it, and a faint ripple appeared, and the line of sight passed through the wall.
"Ability to pass through walls!"
Shocked, I didn't have time to think, my eyes were getting farther and farther, on the other side of the wall, weeds growing more than one person high, usually no one came, and under the weeds was a sewage ditch.
"Whoosh!"
A black figure, emerging from the weeds, wearing a black mask and unable to see its face, turned and swept into the distance.
Normal people can't see behind the oil mill, wrapped in layers of fire, and there is a mountain road along the weeds, you can enter the back mountain, and go back to Canglan City.
"Sure enough, there are people!"
With a burst of body, he turned into an afterimage, standing on the dilapidated roof, a terrifying heat wave came from the soles of his feet, and his toes were light, and he swept down quickly, appearing behind the house.
Before the Xu family's guards could react, Liu Wuxian had long since disappeared.
The dark shadow swept through the dense grass towards the distant mountains, and into the mountains, the sky was high enough for the birds to fly, and it was difficult to find him.
It was pitch black all around, ordinary people came in, and soon got lost, relying on the ghost pupil technique, they could clearly see every inch of trees, hanging far behind the black shadow, more than fifty meters apart.
After running for a while, the black shadow noticed that someone was following him and quickened his pace.
He was fast, Liu Wuxian was faster, like a meteor, his feet were close to the ground, the rabbit got up and fell, and jumped out ten meters away, the speed was extremely fast.
Probably realizing that he couldn't get rid of Liu Wuxie, the speed of the black shadow suddenly slowed down, and a cliff appeared in front of him, bypassing this place, he could return to Canglan City.
There was no way forward, and the way back had been blocked by Liu Wuxie, approaching step by step, the black shadow turned around and looked at Liu Wuxie, his eyes flashing a touch of ruthlessness under the faint starry light.
"Who are you and why do you keep following me. ”
The black shadow spoke, and asked coldly, and a bright long knife appeared in his hand, emitting a faint luster, a good knife.
"You lit the fire in the oil mill!"
Liu Wuxian didn't answer, standing five steps away, with a cliff behind him, the man in black couldn't fly with his wings, put away the ghost pupil technique, looked up and down, judging from his figure and voice, this person was very unfamiliar.
"Boy, if you want to be nosy, the little congenital realm, dare to keep up, are you impatient. ”
The man in black let out a chattering laugh, and the lancet scimitar in his hand made a rattling sound, and a knife suddenly slashed at Liu Wuxie, and he hit it as he said, without any mud and water.
He knew very well that Liu Wuxian could easily catch up with him, this person was not simple, and he would strike first.
The knife technique is extremely powerful, approaching Liu Wuxie's neck, ruthless, tricky, this kind of knife technique is rare in Canglan City.
The martial arts of the four major families, Liu Wuxian knows a little bit about it, including the City Lord's Mansion, no one has learned such a strange sword technique.
Compared with the Blood Rainbow Knife Method, it is far from the difference, the fivefold application of the Spirit Washing Realm is unfolded, the sword shadow is heavy, and around the cliff, the knife qi forms a terrifying wave-like impact, sweeping in.
When I went out tonight, I didn't have time to wear a knife, so I came alone, stepped on the seven stars, and avoided the fatal knife.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and under his stab, Liu Wuxian easily avoided it, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"It's a little interesting, the little innate realm can actually dodge my cold bayonet technique, it's not easy!"
With a turn of the blade, his body was pulled up in the air, forming a hundred and eighty-degree rotation in place, and the terrifying sword qi forced towards Liu Wuxian's legs, which was worthy of the cold bayonet technique, releasing the cold qi of the forest, and his legs seemed to be frozen by cold ice.
Without using the Ghost Pupil Technique, Liu Wuxian had to rely on his speed and control of the battle to kill his opponent as much as possible.
Two figures, you come and go, Liu Wuxian has been dodging, the other party's cold bayonet technique, even the corners of Liu Wuxie's clothes can't be touched, the more he fights, the more shocked he becomes.
"Who the hell are you, when did such a demon appear in Canglan City, the innate realm can compete with the soul washing realm. ”
The man in black showed a hint of panic, judging from the voice, this person should be thirty years old, within forty, Liu Wuxian really can't find it, Canglan City has this person.
There is only one possibility, the other party may not be a person from Canglan City, or a master of other big cities.
"I should ask you this sentence, what grievances does the Xu family have with you, and you need to ask for fuel shop. ”
Stepping on the seven stars and eight fights, bullying the body, and not retreating but advancing the way of playing, only Liu Wuxian dared to do this, his right hand was suddenly raised, it was a simple single punch, but there was no trajectory to be found.
The road to simplicity!
Any martial art, in the hands of Liu Wuxie, has an unexpected effect, this is the basic boxing method, and in normal times, it is used to boil the body.
The man in black was startled, his body quickly retreated, every move and every style, Liu Wuxian could find the flaws in his moves, this punch seemed to be soft and weak, but it made him feel dead, and in the fist, there was a murderous aura.
What's even more terrifying is that it is a simple single punch, but there is no way to crack it, which is the most terrifying.
The basic boxing method, everyone knows how to practice, and if the basic boxing method can be interpreted to this extent, no one in the Great Yan Dynasty can do it.
No wonder the man in black looked frightened, and the lancet in his hand cut out horizontally, protecting his chest, this is a lose-lose fight, even if he is hit by Liu Wuxie, the long knife will cut off Liu Wuxie's hands.
In terms of the use of true qi, he is far inferior to Liu Wuxie, the barren dantian is endless, and the true qi is like a flood beast, making the fist power turn into various forms, like a tiger out of the cage, roaring angrily.
The true qi of the Soul Washing Realm is not as good as the Innate Realm, and I am afraid that no one will believe it when it is passed on.
The man in black seemed to have seen a ghost, and his fists got closer and closer.
"You can't hide!"
Liu Wuxian let out a contemptuous laugh, and his body disappeared in place like a ghost, appearing behind the man in black, and two shadows appeared on the field.
"Not good!"
The man in black was shocked, Liu Wuxie's combat skills were far beyond his prediction, and he couldn't dodge, and his body that exploded back in a row suddenly stopped and shot forward.
"It's too slow!"
The fist fell, like a fierce hammer, and smashed the back of the man in black, and his body staggered, flew out, and smashed into the pile of rubble.
"Poof!"
Blood spilled down the corners of his mouth, and the mask fell, similar to Lynch's guess, thirty-four or five years old, with a very unfamiliar face, the first time I saw it.
The strong Taihuang True Qi rushed into his body, causing his muscles and veins to be disordered, and he couldn't breathe, and he was uncomfortable.
"Now tell me who sent you!"
Liu Wuxian walked over step by step, his tone was cold, and he had to figure out who was behind the murder of the Xu family.
"Chatter, if I'm not mistaken, you're the Xu family's wasted son-in-law!"
The man in black thought of who it was, and let out a miserable laugh, rumored that the Xu family was a waste and didn't know how to cultivate, and the power that erupted tonight was comparable to the fivefold spirit washing realm.
"You know me?"
Liu Wuxian was stunned for a moment, this person was born, he was not from Canglan City, how could he know him.
"Sure enough, it's you, but I didn't expect that the rumored waste is so strong, I lost unjustly tonight, and if you want to kill me, you are not enough. ”
The man in black suddenly ejected and swept into the distance, but he couldn't beat Liu Wuxie and chose to flee.
