Chapter 13: A Passerby
What is more terrible than death is not the helplessness and despair when you finally take your last breath, but the fact that you know from beginning to end that you are certain to die, even if you want to do more struggle, it is useless, you just hope that this will end soon.
The man in blue is thinking like this in his heart at the moment, I'm afraid everyone present is thinking so in his heart. When he found out that he had such thoughts, the man in blue was disgusted, bit his lip hard to make himself sober, and then looked at the terrible man in black not far away and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"Kill... Person... Target... Person. The man in black replied coldly without raising his head, and his voice seemed to be colder and more merciless than the heavy rain of the dark night.
The man in blue was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and continued to ask: "Your Excellency and I don't seem to have a grudge, why do you have to wade into this troubled water?" He thought that he had never seen this strange man in black in front of him, so naturally it was impossible for him to have any grudges.
"I never needed a reason to kill. The man in black said categorically without a trace of emotion, then slowly raised his head, glanced at Tie Xiong lying in a pool of blood, and said coldly: "I want to see if there is anyone who Red Feather can't kill." ”
The man in blue was taken aback when he heard the man in black's words, it seemed that this person had been here for a long time, and he didn't even realize that if the other party secretly launched a surprise attack just now, it would be impossible for him to please him.
"Your Excellency, don't deceive people too much, the people of the red feather are not something that Your Excellency can kill if you want to!" said the man in blue with a secret courage.
"You can do it. The man in black replied lightly, as if he didn't take the words of the man in blue into account.
The man in blue didn't expect the other party to be so aggressive, gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and said coldly: "Up!" As soon as the words fell, the crowd in blue behind him rushed towards the man in black, even if they were unwilling, but in the red feather, any order was irresistible.
I saw that more than a dozen people in blue had rushed to the front of the man in black in a blink of an eye, waving the weapons in their hands, as if they were about to cut the man in black with a thousand knives in an instant. However, they seemed to rejoice too soon.
The man in black suddenly kicked out three kicks like lightning, and the speed was extremely fast! It seemed that he didn't only have two legs at all, and what was even more strange was that he only used the same foot! I saw that the three blue-clothed minions were like kites with broken strings, screaming and flying backwards, and after hitting several companions along the way, they fell to the ground fiercely, and there was no reaction.
Before everyone could come to their senses, the man in black suddenly jumped up in the air, rushed forward, and then kicked a few more legs! It all happened so suddenly, too fast, too fast for anyone present to accept. What's even more terrifying is that he never drew the knife from beginning to end, and even his left hand holding the knife was as if it had never moved.
And when the man in blue came back to his senses, something that frightened him even more happened. The man in black was standing in front of him, very close, and he seemed to be able to hear the other party's heartbeat when he was close. Looking at the blue-clothed men he brought, most of them had fallen to the ground motionless, and the few who escaped the doom had already fled without a trace.
He was the only one left, and the deeper fear swept over the little bit of composure he had left, and his feet couldn't move a bit, standing there motionless, looking at the strange and unfathomable man in black in front of him in horror. The heavy rain had already drenched him, and the rain blurred his vision, but he could still feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, and he was creepy to watch.
"You... What the hell are you... Who the hell is it?" asked the man in blue, with the last bit of courage he mustered.
"The one who wants your life. The man in black replied lightly, this time there was no cold tone, no murderous aura, just said so lightly, as if in his eyes, the man in blue was already a dead man, he was just repeating a fact. But in the eyes of the man in blue, it seems even more terrifying, you know, that is his original words just now, the irony is that this is what he said to others, this retribution is also coming too fast, originally he never believed in karma, but now, he believes.
"Be careful!!" Suddenly, an exclamation came from behind the man in blue, it was Tie Xiong. He was watching from the rear and vaguely saw that a hand behind the man in blue seemed to be grasping something, and he was about to wave it towards the man in black opposite, so he couldn't help shouting.
I heard a muffled snort, and then everything went quiet, it was over, everything was over, it came so suddenly, and it ended so suddenly. The man in blue had already fallen to the ground, and a deep knife mark on his neck was spurting blood, like a fountain in the rain, which was disgusting to watch. In a severed hand that fell to the side, a dagger that shone with a bright light looked extremely dazzling under the refraction of the moonlight. The dagger is a man in blue, originally he was going to sneak attack the man in black once to do the final dying struggle, but he didn't expect to greet him, in addition to breaking his hand, there was also a broken life.
All this came too suddenly, but Tie Xiong still saw it, he saw the man in black's astonishing and lightning-fast knife! At the moment when the man in blue wanted to stab the throat of the man in black with the dagger hidden in his hand, the man in black moved, and the hand holding the knife under the cloak moved!
And what is really even more terrifying is that the knife of the man in black has never been unsheathed, what kind of fierce sword qi can pass through the pitch-black and heavy scabbard and kill an absolute master of the rivers and lakes in one move? Tie Xiong was stunned......
"Brother Tie!" At this moment, the two middle-aged men who had been following Tie Xiong arrived, one carrying Tie Feiyun, Tie Xiong's son, on his back, and the other ran to Tie Xiong's side to check Tie Xiong's injuries. Maybe it was because there was no news from Tie Xiong that they couldn't let go, so they rushed over with the injured Tie Feiyun. When they saw the seriously injured Tetsuo, they looked at the man in black standing not far away, his eyes solemn. Then they saw the blue-clothed minions behind the black-clothed man, and the blue-clothed man who fell at the feet of the black-clothed man, they couldn't believe their eyes, and looked at the terrible black-clothed man in front of them who seemed to fall from the sky, and looked surprised......
The rain had gradually stopped, as if he knew that everything that happened here was over, and he was tired of washing himself away from the pungent smell of blood on the bluestone street. Through the faint moonlight, Tetsuo saw the face of the man in black, a young face that should never be taken lightly, thin but full of tenacity. It turned out to be a teenager.
The black-clothed young man glanced at Tie Xiong, turned around slowly, and walked towards the distance of the winding and wet bluestone street, his steps slow but firm.
"Your Excellency, please stay," Tie Xiong, who had lost too much blood, struggled and shouted, looking at the black-clothed young man who did not look back but had stopped, and continued to say sincerely: "Thank you for your help just now and saved the old man's life, the old man has thanked him here, and today's grace will be remembered in his heart. ”
When the young man in black heard Tie Xiong's words, he hesitated for a moment and said lightly: "I didn't make a move to save you, I just saw them make me want to kill someone." ”
Tie Xiong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, although the young man's words were direct, but Tie Xiong could conclude in his heart that things were not as simple as the young man said, and the young man in front of him was by no means as murderous as he saw now. Because of the wound touched when he laughed, Tie Xiong couldn't help but twitch, gritted his teeth and continued: "Anyway, Your Excellency's favor Tie has written it down, but dare to ask who Your Excellency is, why did he appear in this Bluestone Town?"
"Just a passerby. The young man in black replied lightly, and after speaking, he walked into the distance without a moment's pause.
Tie Xiong didn't speak again, since people didn't want to say more, it was inconvenient for him to ask more, and quietly watched the young man in black gradually disappear away until he disappeared into the night, his expression was solemn, and he didn't know what to think......
Since then, Yuejiazhuang has completely disappeared from Qingshi Town, and perhaps as time goes by, the people here will gradually forget that there was once a rich Yuejiazhuang and a Yuezhuang owner who would invite the whole town to a birthday banquet every year. But those who participated in the fierce battle that day and survived in the end will never forget the tragedy of that night, let alone the young man in black who fell from the sky. Red Feather, this organization that terrifies the people of the rivers and lakes, will not just give up.
Phantom City is a place full of dreams but changes, where all kinds of places and casinos gather in the streets and alleys, which is a paradise for people and dignitaries in the rivers and lakes. There are a lot of fish and dragons here, entrenched in all kinds of forces, and no one dares to come here without a little family background and backstage.
And in this city, there is a well-known Fengyue place, called Phantom Sound Pavilion, where there is never a shortage of women and a lot of money-throwing dignitaries, the reason why it is called Phantom Sound Pavilion is because all the dancing girls here have a good voice and can sing a good song. It's not the biggest place here, but it's the best business. It's not famous because of the women, but because it can buy all the information you want, and if you can afford it, you can know anything you want to know. The main thing is that its owner is a woman, a beautiful and amorous woman.
Ruyi, a woman who makes all the men who come to the Phantom Pavilion linger and is willing to spend a lot of money. No one knows where she came from, because her background is cleaner than anyone else's, and she can't even find her real surname. is such a woman, who is actually in charge of the most profitable field in Phantom City today, and no one dares to provoke her, and the few few cowardly young people have already become dead people, lying in the depths of an unknown alley.
At this time, Ruyi was sitting on the edge of the bed in his boudoir, looking at the figure shrouded in a black cloak under the window, with a light smile, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Through the faint moonlight shining through the window, the figure looked unusually thin, but it made people dare not approach in the slightest. This figure is the black-clothed young man who once killed a master under the Red Feather Seat in Bluestone Town, calling himself a "passerby".
Who is he?
Why did he appear here, and why was he able to enter this boudoir that all the men in the Fantasy City dreamed of entering, but Ruyi didn't blame it at all......
