Chapter Ninety-Eight: Old Woman
"Hehe! Walking the rivers and lakes, some means are still needed. ”
As if seeing Luo Chen's thoughts, Zheng Xiaoliu smiled at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen smiled and nodded again, expressing his approval.
"Huh!"
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoliu turned his head with a smile, ready to ask the old man.
But at this moment.
Suddenly!
"Uh......"
"...... Uproar"
"Bang ......"
The old man stopped his suppressed hysterical laughter in vain, and Jing Ba, who was lying in a mess of wood outside the counter, suddenly burst out, smashed through the wooden window next to him, and escaped.
Three voices, almost at the same time. When Luo Chen turned his head to look, Jing Ba was getting up from the ground outside and fleeing into the distance.
Luo Chen quickly turned his head to look at the old man, only to see that the old man's face was purple, and black blood kept bubbling out of his mouth, and he was lifeless after a while, and his death was the same as Jing Jiu.
"It's the hidden anti-poison exclusive to the Hidden Killing Gate, and that man just shot it. ”
Zheng Xiaoliu swallowed his saliva, pointed to a capillary poisonous needle on the old man's neck, and said to Luo Chen. If this thin needle was shot at him just now, then he is the one who died now, Zheng Xiaoliu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hmm!"
Luo Chen nodded, and when the thin needle shot at the old man, he sensed it, but when he saw the old man like this, he knew that the old man would not speak, so he didn't make a move, and when Jing Ba escaped, he didn't stop it, because he had other plans in his heart.
"Bang dang!"
At this moment, Xiao Er, who had fainted behind the door, woke up at some point, jumped up, slammed the door and fled.
Glancing at Xiao Er who escaped from the door, Luo Chen turned his head to Zheng Xiaoliu and said, "You go and catch that Xiao Er, and I'll chase the middle-aged man." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zheng Xiaoliu to respond, Luo Chen jumped out of the counter and flashed out of the broken window that Jing Ba had crashed open.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoliu did not hesitate, went out of the pawnshop door, and chased after Xiao Er in the crowd.
Out of the pawnshop, Luo Chen came to the street. By this time, it was getting dark, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the street.
Luo Chen let go of his perception and sensed Jing Ba's presence in a small alley with no one on the side of the street. So, without hurrying, I walked slowly towards the small alley.
At this time, Jing Ba was leaning against the wall in the alley, panting. He had just burst out to kill people and fled in a hurry, which consumed a lot of his physical strength, and coupled with the injuries on his body, he had to stop and rest.
Gasping for breath twice, Jing Ba looked down at the wound on his chest with palpitations, he never expected that the sword he forged with dark iron would be cut off by Luo Chen so easily, and he was careless for a while, almost letting him die.
Not daring to stay for a long time, Jing Ba hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out the medicine powder and sprinkled it on the wound, then pulled a piece of cloth under the hem of his clothes to bandage the wound a little, and continued to run into the alley.
And in the back, Luo Chen, who sensed all this, smiled and continued to follow unhurriedly.
Jing Ba walked through the mesh alleys, turning his head from time to time, paying attention to the situation behind him.
It wasn't until it was completely dark and after making sure that no one was following him, Jing Ba plunged headlong into the civilian area in the southwest of the city, walked through a few dirty alleys, and stopped in a dilapidated courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
Turning his head and seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Jing Ba knocked rhythmically on the wooden door of the small courtyard a few times.
After a while, no one opened the door, and Jing Jiu knocked on the door a few more times. This was repeated until the third time, when a faint light came on in the small courtyard.
Then, the wooden door of the small courtyard was opened a little from the inside, and an old woman with a wrinkled face, gray and sparse hair, covering half of her face, holding a cane, and a bent back appeared behind the door.
Although the old woman looked old, but when she looked at it seriously, she had a strong aura, and she was already a second-rate late-stage martial artist.
"Is that you? Why are you here......?"
The sound of a knife cutting through glass came from the old woman's mouth, and the old woman didn't seem to see the injury on Jing Ba's body, and the exposed eye stared straight into Jing Ba's eyes.
"I've been hurt, come and hide. ”
Jing Ba said as he unconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth and crooked his neck to relieve the discomfort caused by hearing the old woman's voice.
When the old woman heard this, her eyes moved away from Jing Ba's face, and after looking at the injuries on Jing Ba's body, she turned sideways and moved out of the way: "Come in!"
"Hmm!"
Jing Ba glanced around, and then walked into the small courtyard.
The old woman stretched out her head, glanced around, and closed the door of the small courtyard.
And on a big tree in the distance opposite the courtyard, Luo Chen, who was watching all this, jumped down from the tree, walked towards the courtyard with his feet on the ground, and then a little courtyard wall, floated onto the roof of the courtyard, and hid in a dark place.
In a room in the small courtyard, after the old woman helped Jing Ba treat her wounds again, she asked while packing up her things:
"You're the eighth-ranked killer in the house, who can hurt you like this?"
"A teenager. ”
Jing Ba said bitterly, and pinched the tooth flower again, although he heard too much of the old woman's voice, Jing Ba still felt uncomfortable, but now he is under the fence, and he can only endure it for the time being.
"Boys?
The old woman was stunned for a moment, stopped what she was doing, and looked at Jing Ba in surprise.
"Jing Jiu's mission goal. ”
Jing Ba looked inexplicable and said softly.
"Jing Jiu?"
The old woman frowned: "You only arrived in Wuwei City today, and you have Jing Jiu's whereabouts?"
"Hmm!"
Jing Ba nodded: "Jing Jiu's mission failed and died! Today, that young man found a stronghold, gave the stronghold, and injured me." ”
"The stronghold has been ordered?"
The old woman looked at Jing Ba in shock, and said urgently, "What about Old Man Zhao?"
"Dead!"
Jing Ba's eyes were dim, and his voice was low: "That Luo Chen tortured him to extract a confession, and asked him to tell the person who issued the task, I can't bear to see him suffer again, so I killed him." ”
"What?"
The old woman stared at Jing Ba deadly, and her voice was like a millstone crushing broken glass: "You actually killed Old Man Zhao?"
Hearing such a voice suddenly, Luo Chen, who was hidden in the dark place on the roof, suddenly frowned. Luo Chen's voice was still bearable before, but this time, Luo Chen's teeth were also sour.
Jing Ba twisted his body, trying to endure the discomfort caused by the old woman's voice, and explained: "Even if I don't kill him, he won't be able to live, and if I kill him, he will be able to suffer less." Besides, he has been arrested, in order to avoid leaking secrets, you also know the rules of the sect. ”
"Humph!"
The old woman's voice was still the same: "Even so, you shouldn't kill him, but find a way to get him out." ”
"It's not that you can't save it, it's really helpless. ”
Jing Ba smiled bitterly and pointed to his chest: "I even have a problem with self-preservation like this, do you think I can still save him?"
