Chapter 643: The Battle of the Black Shop
The man looked at Pan Ke, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
"What business I do has nothing to do with you."
"Hehe, you can't say that." Pan Ke raised his head and quickly glanced at Bai San and Cheng Fei, who were dressed as merchants who came in at the door, and his eyes fell on the person again, "If you are doing a business with a capital, I naturally can't care about it, but if you want to do a business without a capital, then it will matter." β
The man listened to Pan Ke's words, and seemed too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he turned his head and said, "Boss, why don't you drink yet?" β
Lao Pantou had been watching them, and only then did he come back to his senses, and he hurriedly answered, and while going to pour wine from the wine jug, he glanced at his son.
"Dare to ask Brother Tai, where did these boots on your feet come from?" Pan Ke ignored his father's gaze, but stepped forward and asked, his hand already stretched to his waist.
Bai San and Cheng Fei did not outflank the man, but sat by the door, scanning the surrounding drinkers with stern eyes.
The drinkers seemed to know what was going to happen, and one by one they quickly drank the wine in their glasses and rushed out the door without looking back.
"Two, if you have something to say, say it well." Lao Pan wanted to stop what was about to happen, and took the opportunity to send wine, glared at his son, and said with a smile to the guest, but as soon as his eyes touched the eyes of the guest, he suddenly felt chills, he understood that this life-and-death struggle was inevitable, he hurriedly put down the wine glass, and hurriedly ran to the back of the counter, lowered his body, only showed his eyes, and watched in fear.
Hearing Pan Ke ask about the pair of white tiger boots, the man actually sighed. His gaze turned from his face and turned to the window.
The sudden change came suddenly.
Pan Ke turned his head to look and saw that there was a blind man holding a piano outside the window.
The blind man holds the body of the instrument with his left hand. The right hand plucked on it, his left leg straightened, his right leg retreated, and the piano in his hand instantly made a "swish" popping sound, and three cold lights pierced Bai San's body, shooting at Pan Ke like lightning with bright blood flowers, and the action was completed skillfully and neatly. There was no time to react between breaths, and the old man Pan, who was hiding in the shadows, let out an exclamation.
The room was small, and the distance between the blind man and Pan Ke was only more than two feet. If you use an ordinary bow and arrow, you can reach Pan Ke before you can speed up. But the other party hid in the piano and didn't know what it was, but it penetrated Bai San's thick body in a very short range and shot towards Pan Ke like lightning. Pan Ke didn't have time to make a move, so he could only jump back desperately. Get out of the way.
The man sitting across from him did not move. Instead, he took a good time to pick up his glass and take a sip of wine.
Pan Ke's body underwent a strange change the moment he flew up, and his left leg, which had not jumped, was a little on the floor and flew out sideways, blocking in front of the man. He pulled out the long knife at his waist, and swung his right arm into a fan with the elbow joint as the fulcrum, dancing wildly like a rotating screen. There was a clinking sound in which two objects were smashed into the air, and one crashed into the bluestone on the ground. One was buried deep in the ceiling, and it turned out to be a four-edged steel arrow. The last one escaped the block of his long knife and shot at the counter where his father was. Pan Ke then leaned back with his left hand, his joints so soft that he turned around, and grasped the steel arrow in his palm.
The blind man actually has a hidden weapon. The speed and power of this launch were faster and more fierce than the first one, and before Pan Ke grabbed it, it turned into a fine light and flew out, and there were three more. Pan Ke remembered that this kind of rapid and strange arrow firing method was unique to the Heaven and Earth Society in the whole of Middle-earth, and it was called arrow killing, also known as the Nine Star Arrow. Three shots at a time, a total of three shots, the strength and accuracy are greater than one time, and few people can dodge three rounds of attacks. These three rushed to his upper, middle and lower roads, and they wanted to take his life first.
"Not good!" Cheng Fei exclaimed, if he had a heavy blunt blade in his hand, he might be able to resist it, but now he could only watch the steel arrow shoot through the air and spiral. Pan Ke's body was still in mid-air, and the door was already wide open. Rao is murderous Cheng Fei's face also changed color, the assassination technique of the Heaven and Earth Society is unique in the world, and it is not easy to escape the pursuit of the Nine Star Arrow, not to mention that Pan Ke is in mid-air. Because he was far away and was stunned, he didn't even move a single step.
And at this moment, the man who was sitting made a move.
The man raised his hand, and a small round bronze shield spun and flew out, and after knocking one of the steel arrows at Pan Ke away, he flew towards the second steel arrow, but the steel arrow was shot through at once and fell to the ground.
But it was this blow that saved Pan Ke's life, Pan Ke blocked his chest with the long knife in his hand, and the third steel arrow was nailed to the knife, making a piercing sound, and flew to the side, and the long knife in Pan Ke's hand also flew out of his hand and broke into two.
The moment the steel arrow swept through the air, Pan Ke, who landed on the ground, pressed his palms on the ground, and jumped up again like a snake, with a short hardwood dagger in his hand.
The man's sudden attack exceeded everyone's expectations, forcing Pan Ke to make a choice. He must kill the blind man first, otherwise the strange cold arrow will not pity him, but in this way, his back will inevitably be exposed to the person who has regarded himself as a "fat sheep".
And that man just came to the rescue.
Bai San, who had just fallen to the ground, was still twitching in a pool of blood, and Cheng Fei was still standing there stupidly without making a move, and the next salvo of the Nine Star Arrow should still be himself. Life sometimes has to make a dilemma, in fact, he didn't know which was more correct at the time, maybe only the power of the gods can crack it, life is sometimes very helpless, very small.
Pan Ke didn't really have a choice.
He could only give up the attack on the person who had just saved him and attack the blind man, of course, this was not to repay the kindness of that person, but purely for himself.
The steel arrows that burst through the air struck from three different angles, and the cut air flow was like a rapidly winding intestine. Pan Ke's left palm shook, and the steel arrow he had caught earlier was about to shoot at the blind man, when the high-pitched voice of the man at the table came.
"Only prevent arrows!"
In the chaos of the time, anyone's misjudgment would have killed Jiang Qi. Luckily, Pan Ke heard the man's words. The steel arrow broke away from its hand and drew a short, curved arc in the air, as if it were being pulled by an invisible hand with a rope and slammed into the first steel arrow.
The steel arrow shot by Pan Ke actually smashed the first steel arrow away, and then another iron ruler flew in. Hit the second one at a faster speed, and with a "bang", both of them fell to the bluestone floor.
Pan Ke saw that the person actually threw out an iron ruler, a weapon that could only be used by the yamen to catch fast soaps. I couldn't help but be amazed.
Just now it was a bronze round shield that only eight cavalry would equip with, this time it was an iron ruler, this person's "Qimen Blade" is really a lot!
He didn't think too much about it, because by this time the third steel arrow had already arrived.
He tried his best to turn his body around to avoid the steel arrow, but Rao was. The steel arrow still flew past his waist, the sharp blade not only cutting through his clothes, but also cutting through his skin.
"Stinky blind man! Suffer death! Pan Ke roared. Rushing out of the shop, the green tip of the dagger stabbed the blind man from the bottom up.
But at this moment, the anomaly arose.
Pan Ke's dagger froze in mid-air. His whole person flying in the air was shrouded in an invisible pressure, as if a thousand catties of iron were pressed down. Temporarily incapacitated.
A belt that flew out of nowhere. wrapped around Pan Ke's feet, and pulled him alive who flew towards the blind man.
Old Pan Tou saw that it turned out to be a strange hunchbacked farmer who wrapped his son with a belt, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
The hunchbacked farmer didn't give Pan Ke another chance to strike, and he put the five fingers of one hand together, turned into a knife shape, and slashed Pan Ke's neck. Like a living snake, the cowhide belt loosened Pan Ke's feet and locked Pan Ke's wrists. The two of them pulled at the same time. The belt was pulled and stretched into a line by two forces.
The hunchbacked farmer's strength was completely overwhelming Pan Ke's calculations. In order to practice knives, Pan Ke once hung 20 catties of mountain stones on his arms every day for five years. The bare skin was scorched by the sun and turned from white to black three times. Even so, Pan Ke still felt that the wrist bones were almost torn out of the joint.
The hunchbacked farmer stepped with heavy shoulders, pulled his right hand back with the help of waist and abdominal strength, and the upsurge of energy spurted out of his mouth, "Go!" β
Pan Ke was still pulled forward by the force that fused his wrists, shoulders, waist and abdomen, and legs in one, and the hunchbacked farmer's steely left fist waited there, smashing his lower abdomen.
Pan Ke didn't dodge or dodge, and his right fist was completely hard to swing. "Bang!" The two forces met in the fist, and the force of the shock abruptly separated the two. But he couldn't get out of it more than a few feet, and the wrapped leather belt pulled the two back again. They actually chose to fight again, "Boom! "The end result of the all-out shot was that the ground of the dirt road that was hard to be trampled by pedestrians could not withstand the pressure, and the yellow debris that exploded into flying pieces fell on the faces of the two people, as if they had just rolled out of the yellow mud pool.
The hunchbacked farmer's face seemed to be torn by a violent wind, and his epidermis fluctuated strangely. The meridians on the palm of the hand that exposed the sleeve beat suddenly, as if countless walking beads were jumping along the blood vessels. The dagger in Pan Ke's hand gradually loosened, and finally with a "dang bang", it fell, touched a stone, and bounced aside.
The hunchbacked farmer smirked, and with a wave of his hand, the leather belt grew a lot, and at once Pan Ke's entangled hand and neck were strangled together.
Beads of sweat erupted on Pan Ke's forehead, and his original attack was forced to stop halfway, and the opponent's strength was so great that he couldn't breathe. The hunchbacked farmer's fingers were distracted, and the protruding veins crawled up his arms like cyan snakes along the slippery sleeves of his coat, as if there was a spider-like metal attached to the muscles, and the spider glowed blood-colored like a sensible light. A few thin red threads passed under the white skin, and with terrible force, the hunchbacked farmer's hand completely caused a temporary retrograde movement of Pan Ke's blood, ending all his movements.
Pan Ke's let go of his hand grabbed his neck at once, gasping for breath, and there was a faint hint of blood in the exhaled breath.
That blind man may have never encountered such a dangerous scene since his debut. He looked at Pan Ke angrily and shouted, "Old Luo! Hack him! β
The hunchbacked farmer's right leg slammed into Pan Ke's body, and the huge force bounced Pan Ke's entire body. He then let go of the hand holding the belt, reached out and grabbed Pan Ke's struggling calf, pulled it forward from the step, and just waved it in the air for three weeks, grabbed Pan Ke's other arm, lifted him high above his head, and used his strength to tear Pan Ke into two pieces.
"Stop!" Lao Pantou and "Fat Sheep" shouted out almost at the same time.
The originally chaotic scene seemed to ripple away under this shout, and the surrounding area fell silent like stagnant water.
"Tick! Tick! β
Beads of blood fell from Pan Ke's low-hanging fingers. At this time, he had no strength, and seeing that the battle was lost, there was no possibility of escape. He hissed in despair: "Fate, this is fate." β
The face of the person at the table was like a sinking pool, and he couldn't see the slightest fluctuation, "Failure is failure, don't make excuses to cover it up." He said.
The hunchbacked farmer stared at the man's eyes and said coldly: "Senior sister still has the leisure to talk about others, if it weren't for the appearance of these unexpected little thieves." Do you think you can sit there alive? β
The man shook his head slowly, not knowing that he shook his head because he felt that he would not be able to escape without Pan Ke and others in the store. Or defying the other party's pursuit.
"Ask a few good men to raise their noble hands! Spare the children! The old pan rushed out desperately, knelt in front of the hunchbacked farmer, kowtowed again and again, and cried and pleaded.
"They have nothing to do with me. Let them live! The man at the table said lightly. But the voice turned to a feminine softness.
Hearing that the person at the table had changed to a young woman's voice, Lao Pantou looked dazed and stopped crying.
"I didn't expect Senior Sister to take pity on such goods." The hunchbacked farmer sneered, but did not let go of the dying Pan Ke.
"Senior sister probably forgot, this shop was originally a black shop, and I don't know how many innocent people died at the hands of these indiscriminate thieves." The blind luthier regained his former composure, and his voice was full of sarcasm.
"That's what Brother Mo said." The hunchbacked farmer said. His eyes were fixed on the woman dressed as a manβshe was Zhu Xueyanβand his hand was slowly strengthened, as if to prevent her from making a move at any time.
Beside. The blind luthier also hugged the piano tightly, although the "Nine Star Arrow" was finished, his piano seemed to have another mechanism.
Zhu Xueyan's eyes were clear, and she was about to make a move, but she saw a cold light flashing, Pan Ke's head instantly left her body, flew away from the distance, and rolled down in front of the old Pan Tou.
Lao Pan looked at his son's sluggish and frightened head, stayed there for a while, and after a while, he cried out loud.
Zhu Xueyan's gaze only stayed on Pan Ke's corpse for a moment, and then fell to the place where the cold light stopped.
It was a large, broad-edged sword, stuck straight into the ground.
It was this sword that swirled and flew and cut off Pan Ke's head.
"It turned out that Brother Liu had arrived, just in time." The hunchbacked farmer snorted and threw Pan Ke's headless body to the ground.
"You ...... I'm going to...... Kill you! Old Pan Tou suddenly jumped up, picked up the dagger that his son had dropped, and pounced on the hunchbacked farmer, but as soon as his body moved, a slight cold light flashed, and Old Pan Tou's body froze suddenly, he threw away the dagger, covered his throat with his hand, took two steps forward, and fell to the ground.
Zhu Xueyan couldn't help frowning in disgust when she saw black blood flowing from the corners of Lao Pan's eyes, mouth and nose.
There was a smell in the air that only had the smell of wild beasts.
"Brother Ba has also arrived." The blind luthier laughed.
"You're missing two people." A gloomy voice rang out.
When Zhu Xueyan heard him say this, she noticed that the guy named "Cheng Fei" in the store and the young man named "Xiao Shu" who was following him didn't know when they were gone.
"Senior sister, you still show your true face! The way you look, our brothers look weird. Hehe. The figure of the wolf exorcist appeared from behind a big tree not far away, "You don't have to worry about missing the phase, there is no one else here except our brothers." β
"Where are those two people?" The blind pianist smiled and asked, "I saw them running away, but because the senior sister was here, I was afraid that Lao Luo would not be able to cope with it alone, so I didn't chase them." β
"It's already cooked, just in time to feed my wolves and eagles." The wolf exorcist laughed, "I guess I've already eaten half of it by now, haha." β
As soon as he finished speaking, a horse rushed over like the wind, and immediately the man stretched out his hand and pulled out the giant sword inserted in the ground with a dashing and neat movement, and carried it in his hand.
"Brother Liu is here." The wolf exorcist looked at the black knight on the horse and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be rude to Senior Sister." After the death of the senior sister, we took the head back and handed it over, and the body of the senior sister, we will definitely not let the birds and beasts trample on it. β
Although he said it politely, Zhu Xueyan's heart still tightened when he thought of the humiliation that his body might suffer after he died.
"Senior sister, you ...... Breach of convention. The black-clothed knight looked at Zhu Xueyan and sighed, "The result this time is still the same as before, not much different......
"What about Su Yue? What did you do to her? Zhu Xueyan asked, with a hint of hoarseness in her voice.
"That girl and her subordinates are very difficult, I can't imagine that the senior sister has such a helper." The black-clothed knight looked at Zhu Xueyan and said slowly, "Brother Ba and I know that they are from Heifeng Village, and Su Yue is the daughter of the owner of Heifeng Village, we didn't want to offend too much, after cooking a few little minions, we captured Su Yue alive and handed it over to the brothers on the road to send back to Heifeng Village." She was unscathed, and the senior sister was relieved. β
"Brother Liu said this, I was relieved." Zhu Xueyan thought that Su Yue was fine, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the black knight gratefully and said.
"Senior sister, our brother has done his best to treat you," the wolf exorcist smiled and said, "I really don't want to start with a beauty like Senior Sister, but there are rules in the meeting, and Senior Sister also knows that we are also forced to do it, and the next thing will be based on our own abilities, and I ask Senior Sister for forgiveness."
