Chapter 16: Ruby

And that's not all.

Immediately behind the handful of white ash was a knife light thrown out of the darkness, and the black cloud just dispersed a little, revealing a round of crescent moon, and the moonlight reflected the knife light, like the claws stretched out by the demon.

Tang Quan's eyes couldn't open, but his ears could hear the sharp sound of breaking the air, and he immediately knew that what was attacking was definitely not that kind of ordinary people, he was definitely a serious practitioner, and he hurriedly waved a knife in his hand to block it.

Ding Ding Dong Dong!!

Almost in a short instant, the two knives collided no less than a dozen times.

These dozen collisions made Tang Quan's heart even more cold, although he felt that the opponent's knife did not have too strong strength, and he didn't seem to have practiced the method of quenching the body, but the move was extremely exquisite, and there was a lingering momentum that wrapped his knife, making it difficult for him to tear it, this is undoubtedly the skill of the sword technique is complete, and it is only the skill that can only be possessed by practicing the knife posture!

In fact, there are many people who have reached the realm of 'training meat', and their skills have not yet reached the point of 'potential', after all, the quenching method can be forcibly stacked with various tonic medicines, which is a water grinding work, and has nothing to do with understanding, but skills need understanding.

A 'meat training' existence that has become a potential is enough to match ten characters at the same 'meat training' level, this step can be described as a thousand miles away from the ordinary realm.

He didn't know how many times he had escaped death before he finally realized it in a flash of inspiration.

How did this person practice in front of him?

And the strangest thing is that this person has the knife posture, but he doesn't seem to have practiced the quenching method, which is simply bizarre, for the characters who can practice the knife posture, it is absolutely not difficult to practice the quenching method to the second step of the 'meat training'.

After only a short fight of more than a dozen rounds, Tang Quan secretly complained in his heart.

If it is placed in ordinary times, this technique is perfect, and he has practiced knife posture, but he has obviously not been in contact with the practice of internal law, even if he is not afraid of one enemy and ten, but now he is seriously injured, and he does not dare to use his strength at all, and his strength is ten percent gone, and it is even more difficult for the other party to leak in the overnight rain, and it is also bad for the other party's plot, and his eyes are so hot that he can't open them, so that he has become completely blind, which has fallen into a greater disadvantage.

I just wanted to find a place to hide and heal my injuries, why did I just bump into such a character.

"Brother stop."

Tang Quan resisted a few more tricks with difficulty, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"What do you want?"

The poor knife in Chen Mu's hand slowed down slightly.

Tang Quan noticed that Chen Mu's offensive was slowing down, and when he heard Chen Mu's response like this, his heart suddenly relaxed, knowing that he was not the opponent who was chasing him, and secretly annoyed that he was so unlucky, but he still softened in his mouth: "I was injured, I just want to find a place to heal, and I have no other intentions, you and I have no grievances, how about just stopping?" ”

The voice fell.

Tang Quan felt that the moves on the other side were a little slower, as if he was thinking about something.

After about a few breaths, a voice came from the other side.

"Okay."

Tang Quan's heart suddenly relaxed slightly.

But in the next moment, the sword attack on the opposite side, which had already slowed down, burst out with a more violent momentum in an instant, becoming more fierce and ferocious, even surpassing the previous one!

"You!"

Tang Quan was caught off guard, the knife in his hand barely parried a move, and then he was stabbed in the left shoulder.

Chen Mu's eyes were indifferent, and his knife was ferocious, and he brought the wind knife technique to the extreme, and he slashed out a few more times.

Tang Quan's left shoulder was injured, and he was originally only left with a knife in his left hand, but this time his strength weakened again, and he could no longer resist Chen Mu's poor knife, and the knife was completely shaken away after a few moves, and then he felt a pain in his neck.

“……”

Tang Quan staggered back a few steps, stretched out his hand to cover his neck, and desperately opened his hot and stinging eyes, wanting to see who the person in front of him was, but he barely opened them and only saw a vague shadow.

In the end, he showed an unwilling look, and the whole person fell backwards, fell in a pool of blood and convulsed a few times, and gradually stopped moving.

"Hoo ......"

Chen Mu gasped slightly.

Once born and twice cooked, the second time he killed, there was no hesitation in his heart, what kind of like 'no injustice and no hatred', of course he just listened to it, he was unjust and hateless before, but he tried to break into his house, ate him a handful of quicklime, and was persecuted by him one after another, how can there be no injustice and no revenge.

What's more, this person's fierceness is simply the only one he has seen in his life, obviously his body is scarred, there seems to be a terrifying penetrating wound between his chest and abdomen, and he is blinded, in this case, he can resist him dozens of moves.

A faint ray of moonlight broke through the black mist and fell.

Chen Mu, who was staring at Tang Quan's corpse, could barely see the other party's appearance clearly, but he was shocked to see the very obvious black mark on his right cheek, which immediately reminded him of the arrest warrant during the day.

"This person ...... Is it the thief Tang Quan? ”

Chen Mu took a few steps closer to the corpse, looked carefully, and suddenly showed a strange color in his eyes.

He practiced the knife until he was tired, and when he was about to sleep, he heard the movement outside, and immediately took out the lime and other things he had prepared a long time ago to guard against the bandits, and made a secret calculation when the other party opened the door, at first he thought it was a little thief, but when he fought, he found that it was a murderer, and then he finally recognized that it was the thief Tang Quan who was on the arrest warrant!

The other party obviously didn't come to steal, looking at the injuries on this body, it was likely that he was chased and killed by someone, and in a panic, he wanted to touch his house and hide, but he happened to meet him who had not slept while practicing the knife, and he fell into his plot, so he died under his knife in such an unknown way.

Suddenly.

Countless thoughts flashed in Chen Mu's heart.

This evil thief Tang Quan can be different from the incense master of the Black Snake Gang last time, last time it was a leak that could be picked up, but this Tang Quan is obviously very involved, it is not something that can be confused at will, and I am afraid that it will be investigated afterwards.

Just as Chen Mu was quickly thinking about what to do with the corpse.

Suddenly.

A somewhat cold voice rang out.

"Which division are you the wrong one, why haven't I seen you?"

Following the source of the sound, I saw a figure wearing a white flying fish suit, under the reflection of the dim moonlight, I don't know when it appeared in the corner of the eaves not far away.

Because the moonlight was hazy and dim, he couldn't see the specific appearance clearly, but the white flying fish suit was extremely conspicuous, which also made Chen Mu slightly stunned, and immediately realized the identity of the person who came, because only one person in the entire Nancheng District could wear this bad suit.

Nancheng District Urban Health Division.

Xu Hongyu.

Although Chen Mu was not wearing a bad uniform at this moment, the knife in his hand was an obvious standard bad knife, and it was not surprising that Xu Hongyu recognized him as the person of the City Guard.

"Chen Mu, the messenger of the city health department in Jiutiaoli, has met the chief messenger."

Chen Mu immediately saluted Xu Hongyu respectfully, and was even more surprised in his heart, it seemed that the person who chased and killed Tang Quan was actually the chief messenger who went out in person, and he didn't know what kind of basket Tang Quan had stabbed.

Xu Hongyu's figure flickered, and from the corner of the eaves to Chen Mu, she looked at Chen Mu a few times with some surprise, and said, "The poor person in the nine?" No wonder I haven't seen you, you're practicing the sword technique of the Xunfeng lineage? ”

In her eyes, of course, she would not admit her mistake, Chen Mu's knife just now was definitely Xunfeng, and he had practiced to the point where his sword technique was perfect, and the knife was vertical and horizontal, otherwise it would be impossible to kill Tang Quan, even if Tang Quan was already seriously injured.

Take a closer look.

I was even more surprised to find that Chen Mu looked quite young, looking like he was in his twenties, not much different from her, and it was very rare for him to be able to practice his sword skills to perfection and practice knife posture at this age.

"Yes, your eyes are as wise as torches."

Chen Mu responded cautiously.

At this moment, Xu Hongyu was standing less than two meters in front of him, and through the dim moonlight, he could already see the color of the chief secretary of Nancheng District, who was rumored to have the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, like a fairy in the Moon Palace, and it could only be said that the rumors were true.

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu thoughtfully and said, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Twenty-two."

Chen Mu responded.

Hearing this, Xu Hongyu nodded slightly.

Although she has practiced swords since she was a child, she has practiced sword momentum at the age of twenty, much earlier than Chen Mu, but Chen Mu has never practiced the quenching method, and is obviously a small errand who is crawling at the bottom, and she has completely relied on her own talent to practice to this point, which is really not easy, and she is a talent.

"Chen Mu ......"

After Xu Hongyu groaned for a short time, she walked to Tang Quan's corpse, stretched out her hand to lift Tang Quan's corpse, and said, "I will remember this Tang Quan's arrest reward for you, and you will go to the headquarters to find me tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Yes."

Chen Mu responded immediately.

At the same time, I was slightly relieved.

Tang Quan's matter is obviously a big trouble, it is not appropriate for him to be involved at all now, and now that Xu Hongyu, the chief messenger, is intercepted, it is very good for him, and after this time, he entered the other party's field of vision in advance, but it is also very good.

After all, if he wanted to be promoted to the rank of errand, he would have to go through Xu Hongyu, the chief errand, with a nod.

Xu Hongyu jumped with Tang Quan's corpse in her hand, and after a few ups and downs, she disappeared into the night, leaving only Chen Mu to shake his head and turn around and return to his home.
