Chapter 38: The Last Night in Redwood City

"Where are you going now? I'm still wanted by the government, and it's about to dawn, so let's stop wandering the streets. Wu Neng looked at the wanted notice posted on the side of the road and said to Shi Cheng with some concern.

"But fortunately, my papers have been kept in my box, and they can't find them, otherwise, the wanted notice in this city would be my real name." When he said this, Wu Neng was still quite relieved.

Shi Cheng said indifferently: "Isn't this enough, this kind of four-like portrait that can only be drawn by the government of a remote small city can be caught and it will be a hell." Since your real name has not been revealed, we just need to be careful to avoid the officials and city guards who are being checked. The name of the wanted criminal written on the portrait is Wu Tianshi, what does their arrest of Wu Tianshi have to do with you Wu Neng? ”

"It doesn't matter," Wu Neng said angrily: "I won't dare to use the pseudonym Wu Tianshi in the future, if you are me, what will you think if you say that your name is Wu Neng when you introduce yourself to others, anyway, I can't afford to lose that person." ”

"It's a big deal, you can just give yourself another name, people can still suffocate urine." Shi Cheng said disappreciatively. He led Wu Neng through an alley and stood at the door of a house.

"I'll take you to meet someone, and you're certainly no stranger to this person." Shi Cheng whispered to Wu Neng. The latter's eyes were full of doubt.

……

Before dawn, the entire city of Redwood was still asleep in the pre-dawn night, except for a few laborers who went to the port to rush to work early and some diligent vendors.

At this time, in a large mansion in the north-east of Redwood City, a man in a satin nightgown was lying on his bed and falling asleep. The man seemed to be sleeping deeply, but a soft sound in the hall outside the door quickly woke him from his slumber.

The man's face was unwavering, and he gently took out a short knife from under the pillow, and then rushed out of the door like a ghost walking through the night.

The man's body was extremely fast, and in an instant, he slashed seven knives at the place where the sound came from, and the cold knife light was woven into a net, and the furniture within the coverage of the "knife net" was instantly reduced to pieces.

"Mouse?" The man's eyesight was excellent, and by the glimmer of light in the darkness, he could clearly see the pile of creatures cut into meat sauce under the fragments, and he could vaguely distinguish that it was a large adult mouse.

"My home has always been tidy, where did this rat come from?" The man was a little confused, but it didn't last long. Soon, a strong wind came at him from behind.

The man was amazed, but he was extremely steady, and he kicked the attacker down with a single turn. But just as he was about to mend the knife, two more figures rushed out of the corner of the hall, and the attacker he had just kicked down also stood up and pounced on him again.

At this time, the man had already seen the three attacking killers, all of them were tall, their bodies were tightly wrapped in black cloth, and they were dressed very strangely. What's even more bizarre is that the eyes of the three killers were also blindfolded.

"Could it be that these three people are blind?" The man was extremely surprised, but the short knife in his hand was tight and fierce. Although these three tall killers were weird, they couldn't match their opponents, and although they were caught off guard by killing the man at first, they were soon pressed by the man.

After the four of them dismantled about twenty moves, the man grabbed the flaw of a killer and swung a knife with great speed, and the short knife was deeply inserted into the left chest of a killer, making a strange sound. Hit so hard, the killer didn't even snort, raised his right arm, and pounced on the man fearlessly.

A chill ran through the man's heart, and a deep fear welled up in his heart. The man wasn't terrified by the killer's fearlessness, but by the strange sound of his short knife plunging into the killer's chest. The man had a lot of blood on his hands, and he could clearly hear that it was not the sound of a blade piercing into the flesh, but more like a piece of wood, and as if the blade had hit metal.

All in all, the three "people" in front of the man don't seem to be flesh and blood!

The man's scalp was numb for a while, his brain was in chaos, his heart was ruthless, he inspired his true qi to impact the Quartet, and finally succeeded in beating the three killers out of the air.

But at the moment when the three killers were shaken back and the man's strength was exhausted, an incomparably fierce true qi attacked the man from behind like a sword.

"The master of the Grandmaster Realm is coming?!" The man was horrified and hurriedly raised his hand to meet the enemy, but was shocked by the palm of the fourth sneak attacker who suddenly rushed out. With a sweet blow in his throat, he crashed into the wall behind him, and his whole body felt like it was going to be torn apart, and the pain was incomparable.

After the man took that palm, he suddenly realized that the palm power of the sneak attacker did not contain a perfect Dao intent, that is to say, this master who defeated himself with one palm had not yet entered the Grandmaster!

Soon, the candlesticks in the hall were lit one after another, and by the light of the candles, the man finally saw the face of the sneak attacker, and he exclaimed, "Why are you?" ”

Shi Cheng stood in front of the man, looking at him condescendingly, and Wu Neng, who was hiding in another corner, hurriedly walked out, took out the hidden heaven box, and put the three organ people wrapped in black cloth into the box.

Shi Cheng clapped his hands and said coldly to the man who fell in front of him: "Good skills, good skills." Why didn't I find out before that there was such a master as you hidden in Redwood City. The last time I saw you in Baiji Buzhuang, although I saw that you were not weak, but now it seems that the cultivation you showed at that time was actually about 30% of your total strength, and you can hide it from my eyes, it seems that you have quite a comprehension of the Dao of assassination, and you can hide your true strength. I really didn't expect that Mu Tian, the shopkeeper of the dignified Baiji Buzhuang, a middle-aged scholar who looked a little weak on the surface, was actually a half-step grandmaster! ”

Mu Tianwei froze on the ground and gritted his teeth, but he didn't say a word.

Wu Neng was also a little surprised, although he hadn't dealt with Mu Tian much, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, with this person's scholarly temperament, it would really be difficult for Wu Neng to connect him with the ruthless swordsman who had just stabbed in the dark.

"How did you get in?" Mu Tian asked in a gloomy voice.

"Those nurses in your courtyard are really unbearable, and I secretly put them all down before I could make a cup of tea." Shi Cheng said with a relaxed expression.

Mu Tian snorted coldly and said, "This kind of waste, the Western Desert Country is also a first-class country in the Southern Wilderness, but the martial artists in the country are so useless. ”

"It's not that they don't use it, it's just that I'm too strong." Shi Cheng said without humility. This sentence sounds like a boastful narcissism, but Wu Neng and Mu Tian, who know Shi Cheng's strength, don't have the slightest hint of ridicule in their hearts.

"So Shopkeeper Mu, you don't need to complain about your subordinates, although Shi Mou was a sneak attack just now, but now you yourself should know very well what my strength is." Speaking of this, Shi Cheng paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh no, to be precise, after the two of us fought in the dungeon last time, you should already know what level Shi's cultivation is." It's a pity that you didn't use that short sword today, and that short sword should be more comfortable for you. ”

"Dungeon!" Wu Neng couldn't help but cry out in surprise, he looked at Mu Tian, but Mu Tian only gave him a cruel smile.

Shi Cheng said lightly: "Wu Neng, you heard his voice just now, although it is a little different from the last time you heard it, but if you recall it well, don't you feel very familiar?" ”

Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng suspiciously, not knowing what he meant by "last time". However, when he first heard Mu Tian's voice, he felt a little familiar. Wu Neng pondered for a moment, and suddenly a thunderbolt sounded in his mind, and he involuntarily pointed at Mu Tian and said angrily: "You, you are the Bai family who sent poisonous cookies in the dungeon that day and wanted to poison me!" ”

"That's right," Shi Cheng snapped his fingers and said, "Although Shopkeeper Mu made it easy for you to pass that day, Shi Mou thought that his memory was still okay, and I carefully recalled the voice of your voice, and I thought of your identity." ”

Mu Tian's face was gloomy, and his eyes looked at the two of them for a long time before he spoke: "Although I didn't expect Shi Cheng to be in the cell at the time, I still changed my voice slightly, you can recognize my identity, it must not be just because of similar voices." ”

"That's right," Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Actually, long before I fought you in the dungeon, I had a vague feeling that something had been missed in my investigation. ”
