Chapter 16: Resistance and Restraint
"Very well! It seems that you have not forgotten who you are. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Steward Li saw the shopkeeper kneeling, he nodded slightly.
"Are you ......?"
The shopkeeper was still hesitant and couldn't help but open his mouth to test it.
"It's been more than ten years, and it's normal that you don't recognize the old man. My surname is Li, and I was an ordinary member of the sect under the hall master Jiang back then, and later followed the hall master to the quicksand city to lurk, the hall master became the master, and I became the housekeeper. And this blood bronze order was handed over to me by the master before he died. ”
Steward Li said expressionlessly, but in the ears of the shopkeeper, his face changed again.
"Hall Master, he's dead?"
The shopkeeper's surname is Yan, his name is Gouzi, and he was originally the private servant of the Jiang Hall Master, and of course he can also be counted as a member of the Blood God Sect. More than ten years ago, he followed Jiang Tang Master to the desert, and received a special mission on the way, so he stayed here alone to set up a stronghold, which led to the black shop of the West Wind Inn.
Yan Gouzi followed Hall Master Jiang when he was a teenager, and after that, he had a day of being well fed and clothed, it can be said that Hall Master Jiang is his reborn parents, so Yan Gouzi has absolute sincerity towards Hall Master Jiang, which is no worse than Steward Li.
It was precisely because of his sincerity that the Jiang Hall Master back then was relieved to hand over this special task to him alone. Yan Gouzi has really stayed here for more than ten years, and has been waiting for the contact of Hall Master Jiang.
However, he also knew that the task assigned to him by Hall Master Jiang was actually a temporary back road, and it was not a very important back road, otherwise he would not be the only one. If you really wait for the contact of the hall master, I don't know if it will be the year of the monkey.
It's just that today, Hall Master Jiang's people suddenly found him and said that Hall Master Jiang was dead? This was really information that made him indigestible for a while.
"Yes, the lord is dead. Not only is the old master dead, but all the sect members except me and the young master have all been wiped out by the Holy Fire Sect in one fell swoop. This makes some of the precautionary insurance measures that the master has done completely useless. So Yan Gouzi, although you were an idle move left by the master back then, you can come in handy now, and you need your strength to escape to the Central Plains with the blood of the master and return to the sect. ”
Steward Li explained the reason why he was here, and stared at Yan Gouzi with slightly squinted eyes, and finally asked, "You, do you have any objections?"
"There is no objection from the subordinates!"
The shopkeeper kept kneeling, and at this time he lowered his head.
Only when I met him face to face did I know that the Steward Li in front of him was definitely above him in martial arts. In terms of status in the sect and various connections, the other party must be stronger than himself, so Yan Gouzi chose to bow his head.
"Very well, you get up. ”
Steward Li showed a hint of a smile, and then said, "Tell me about the power you have now." ”
"This ......"
The shopkeeper stood up and said with a little shame: "My subordinates have only maintained an inn for more than ten years, and there are not many people under him. However, at the bottom of the inn, the subordinates have already dug a tunnel, which can be ......"
"Needless to say!"
Steward Li raised his hand with one hand, glanced at him and said: "The old man fled here with the young master, and he has already thrown off the pursuers, and the other party wants to catch up for at least two days, and whether he can find the right direction is still two words." So you won't need that tunnel. I'll give you a pillar of incense to prepare, and then I'll take your people and escort the young master back to the Central Plains with me. ”
After speaking, Steward Li stopped talking nonsense, glanced at Yang Chong, who was silent on the side, with a little deep meaning, and after a final playful glance at Zhou Chen, he took the lead in leaving and walked back in the direction of the inn.
"This sucks!"
Zhou Chen looked at the back of Steward Li leaving, and hated in his heart.
"I didn't expect that this person and the shopkeeper were both from the Blood God Sect. In that case, the other party should really have the means to track me based on blood, or maybe it was to bluff me, just to make me careless, and then he could follow me with light skills. In short, now that I'm not a person inside and out, the shopkeeper will definitely settle accounts with me, it seems that I can't hesitate anymore, I must escape!"
"Chen Erhu!"
At this time, as Zhou Chen expected, the slightly hoarse voice of the shopkeeper sounded, which contained infinite coldness.
"The palm, the shopkeeper's life, I really don't know the identity of that senior!"
Zhou Chen pretended to be scared and took two steps back, then suddenly turned around, his legs suddenly exerted force, and he jumped out like a cheetah, and ran ten meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Humph!"
When the shopkeeper saw Zhou Chen suddenly burst out and run away at such a speed, he was not moved at all, just snorted coldly, and at the same time stomped on one foot, and his whole body rose into the air, and swept towards Zhou Chen.
"What!?"
Zhou Chen sensed the movement behind him, and when he looked back, his face changed greatly, and the other party actually flew to catch up?
Although most of the flights are short, it is impossible to maintain a long distance in the air. But the shopkeeper of a mere black shop, the lowest figure of the Blood God Sect, can actually move in mid-air? Is this world's light skill really so powerful? You must know that Zhou Chen himself must also reach the level of a little immortal, and he can only fly by means of spells!
"What if you can do light work! Yang's killing fist, explode for me!"
Zhou Chen knew that he had to fight hard, his eyes were red, and regardless of whether his physical body could be loaded, he insisted on bursting out the power of Yang's killing fist in his legs.
Boom!
As soon as he stepped on his feet, a hole was blown up in the sand, and his body shot forward.
Boom!
After stepping more than ten meters in an instant, he stepped on the other foot with the same heavy foot, causing a small crater in the sand again, and his body shot out like a cannonball again.
"Good boy, if it weren't for my internal strength, I'm afraid I would have let you run away today!"
Suddenly, the voice of the shopkeeper sounded in Zhou Chen's ears, causing his complexion to change greatly.
And the next moment, his shoulder ached, as if he was being held by a pair of eagle talons, and it was difficult for his body to move half a minute in the rapid movement.
"Die!"
Zhou Chen's eyes flashed, and at some point there was an extra knife in his left hand, and he stabbed it back with his backhand.
"Hmph!
The shopkeeper behind him clasped Zhou Chen's right shoulder with one hand, originally thought that he had restrained him, but saw that this kid actually dared to use a sharp weapon to counterattack, which made the shopkeeper flash angrily, and he used eighty percent of the internal force to slap Zhou Chen's back, causing his body to be thrown forward suddenly.
"Uhh
Zhou Chen was hit hard and flew out, his shoulder was originally buckled by the shopkeeper, and at this time, a piece of flesh and blood was torn off, and blood was suddenly donated, making half of his body red.
He fell to the ground, but he still struggled to get up, and the knife in his left hand never let go.
"Chen Erhu, it seems that your kid has a different heart, and he has actually practiced kung fu in secret, I'm afraid that even Lao Niu and Lao Li are not your opponents. ”
When the shopkeeper saw Zhou Chen like this, he showed some doubts, he really couldn't figure out when this kid had practiced these skills.
And the old Niu and Lao Li in his mouth are naturally the cow chef and the bookkeeper. Chef Niu's kung fu is very ordinary, and although Mr. Bookkeeper is stronger, he is not much higher. In the shopkeeper's opinion, the strength shown by Zhou Chen in front of him, at least the explosive power when he escaped just now, was already above these two people.
"This Chen Erhu is so powerful?"
Yang Chong on the side, he was already dumbfounded.
Chen Erhu fled suddenly, and then burst out with a speed that he couldn't believe.
Moreover, Chen Erhu actually dared to use a sharp weapon to deal with the shopkeeper. Didn't he think about the consequences? If he angered the shopkeeper, he would probably be in danger of saving his life. (To be continued.) )
