Chapter 110: Methods of Killing
Hua Bushi gasped, and only after a while did he recover his strength, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not the killer of 'Heavenly Punishment', naturally I'm afraid of death, and my little brother is a little heroic, where can I compare to my sister by half a point." ”
Yang Jiangyi said: "You don't have to be modest, I can live thanks to the strategy of your eldest young master." What now? I'm still listening to your orders!"
Hua Bushi's eyes flashed, looked ahead, and said, "Of course we will go further, get out of this Jinshui Street as soon as possible, and meet Qianli Meeting." ”
Twelve killers have already appeared on this street, and if the rumors about "Tianzhu" are not wrong, only Zuihou is left on the street in front of him.
It takes a killer to kill someone, which means that everyone in front of them has not succeeded, and the target of the assassination is definitely not easy to deal with, and it is necessary to use more powerful means to kill. Therefore, the person in charge of "Heavenly Punishment" will definitely arrange the most powerful killer in Zuihou.
There are a thousand ways to kill people in "Heavenly Punishment", which one will a killer use in Zuihou?
Those killers before failed to succeed, just because "Heavenly Punishment" misestimated the strength of Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi. They didn't expect that Hua Bushi was good at observation and good at change, so the hidden killer in disguise would be recognized, and the failure of the pair of black and white impermanence was due to the misjudgment of Yang Jiangyi's martial arts by "Heavenly Punishment".
The power of Lingnan's "Zombie Fist" combined attack technique, there are not many people on the rivers and lakes who can resist it, if it was a few months ago, Yang Jiangyi would definitely not be able to defeat this pair of impermanent killers, "Tianzhu" did not know that Yang Jiangyi's martial arts had improved so fast, so he would send them to assassinate.
Since "Heavenly Punishment" has made a mistake, there will definitely be a chance to defeat it!
Although he almost lost his life just now, Hua Bushi's self-confidence at this time was more determined than before.
All the pedestrians on the road had fled cleanly, all the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and the long street was empty.
The sky was gloomy and the clouds were thick, walking on the most prosperous street in Changsha City, Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi actually felt a sense of loneliness in their hearts.
In the past, it was a bustling place of business, but today it has become a place of murder!
It is almost the end of the street, and in front of it is a bluestone square square of 100 zhang. It used to be a place where vendors set up their stalls to do business, a large box where many merchants gathered, but now it is also empty, except for some garbage and debris scattered on the ground, there is nothing on the square.
Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi walked side by side and walked to the edge of the bluestone square.
The sun obscured by the dark clouds in the sky, at this time just emerged from the clouds, under the sunlight, the whole square was suddenly dyed with a layer of golden color, especially seems to be both illusory and real, mysterious, far away opposite the square, there seems to be a bright light on the top of a building, flashing away.
Hua Bushi suddenly stopped under the eaves of a shop, and asked, "Sister thinks, if you want to kill people here, what is the best means to use?"
Yang Jiangyi said: "I don't know." If it's me, just use the sword, it's the same everywhere. ”
Hua Bushi said: "My sister is proficient in swordsmanship, so she will naturally think of using a sword, but if it were me, under such a terrain, I would first think of killing people with a long-range secret weapon." ”
Yang Jiangyi thought for a while and said, "This square is very empty, and it is indeed difficult to find a place to cover when attacked by hidden weapons. ”
Hua Bushi said: "A large number of archers were ambushed in the surrounding houses, and the arrows were fired from time to time, and the people who walked into the square must have died." But if there is only one killer on the other side, how can he kill people?"
He seemed to be asking Yang Jiangyi, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
Yang Jiangyi said: "If there is only one person shooting arrows, even if we don't have cover, we can dodge, right?"
Hua Bushi said: "Yes, so the other party will definitely not use a bow and arrow, but a hidden weapon that cannot be dodged." ”
Yang Jiangyi said: "What kind of secret weapon will it be, a crossbow machine?"
Hua Bushi said: "Although the crossbow machine is faster than the bow and arrow, it is not impossible to dodge, if my guess is right, he should use a fire gun." ”
"Fire Hammer, how could he use that kind of chicken ribs?" Yang Jiangyi was a little surprised.
In the armies of the Ming Dynasty, the use of firearms was quite common, but their power was very ordinary. The general earthen guns and bird guns are not only very troublesome to ignite and fire, but also the accuracy of the iron sand shot is extremely poor, and they cannot reach far, and they are not as practical as the old-style longbow and hard crossbow.
Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "The firearm used by the other party is naturally not the kind of waste issued by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I have heard that the most advanced firearms made in the Western countries can shoot lead bullets tens of feet away, and they are extremely powerful, and the steel armor cannot stop them, and the speed is also extremely fast, and it is absolutely difficult to dodge with ordinary light techniques. ”
Yang Jiangyi was even more surprised, and said: "There are such powerful secret weapons in the world, I have never heard of them." But even if there is, how can the other party's killer get it?"
Hua Bushi said: "The legendary leader of the 'Heavenly Punishment' is from the Western country, and it is not surprising that they have this kind of firecracker. ”
Yang Jiangyi said: "According to what you say, wouldn't we become his target as soon as we enter this square." ”
Hua Bushi said: "That's right. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "However, although the firearm is powerful, it is not omnipotent, its range is only tens of zhang away at most, and the farther the distance, the more difficult it is to shoot, so the killer must be lying in ambush on the roof of a house on the edge of the square, and will not shoot until we get closer." ”
He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Just now I saw a bright light flashing behind the small red spired building on the opposite side of the square, which must be caused by the reflection of sunlight by metal objects, and I think he is hiding there. My sister is very good, and she only needs to jump on the roof and quietly detour to get rid of the killer. ”
Yang Jiangyi hesitated: "If I go and leave you here alone, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Hua Bushi said: "Don't worry about this, the other party only has this zuihou killer left, as long as you get rid of him, you can be safe." However, the elder sister had to be more careful, trying to find cover, and when she got close, she changed her body and walked in a curve, making it difficult for the gunman to aim and shoot. ”
Yang Jiangyi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
She jumped onto the roof of the house beside her with a giant sword in her hand, and hurried away with a light skill. She had escaped the assassination of "Heavenly Punishment" several times before, all of which relied on Hua Bushi's resourcefulness, so she was convinced that the judgment of this eldest young master would definitely not be wrong.
However, watching Yang Jiangyi's departure, Hua Bushi's heart felt a trace of inexplicable unease.
I don't know where this uneasiness came from, but it made him suddenly alert!
In Wuyang City, before the Hua family's mansion was attacked, Hua Bushi had a similar feeling, and that time it was precisely because he did not expect the betrayal of the "Heavenly Eagle Society" that the defense line of Wuyang City was accidentally broken through by the enemy, and the "Evil Dog Gate" lost most of the disciples overnight, and was almost disabled by Zhu Zhenyan's underworld Shili.
Could it be that this time, he unknowingly made a mistake again?
The square in front of him is open and is indeed conducive to long-range covert attacks, and it is indeed a clever means to snipe the gunmen with firearms under the ambush on the roof of the opposite building. Just now, the sunlight suddenly shone down from between the clouds, and the other party accidentally let the weapon reflect the sunlight for a while, and it was reasonable for Hua Bushi to detect it.
All judgments seem to be reasonable and correct.
However, since the other party is the thirteenth assassin under the arrangement of "Heavenly Punishment", he must be the most powerful one, how could this kind of assassin master make the low-level mistake of accidentally exposing Xingzang?
Could it be that this is the other party's intention!
If it is intentional, what is the purpose of the other party?
Hua Bushi's face changed, and he suddenly ran out from under the eaves, rushed to the square, spread his feet, and went straight towards the other side of the square. He seemed to have forgotten that there was an ambush on the roof of the opposite building, and ran forward regardless of everything, exposing himself to the view of the opposing gunman!
A black smoke rose from the roof of the building opposite, and a blood mark appeared on Hua Bushi's left shoulder, and he could clearly hear the whistling sound of lead bullets shooting in front of him!
Fortunately, because the distance was too far and he was running at full speed, this shot did not hit the vital point, but only grazed his shoulder! At this time, Yang Jiangyi had just left, and he had not had time to sneak to the roof of the opposite building to kill the gunman.
Like the crossbow arrows, it takes a lot of time to reload once fired, Hua Bushi escaped, but he didn't dare to stop and go straight forward, he only hoped that before the gunner loaded the ammunition and fired the second shot, Yang Jiangyi would be able to arrive in time to kill the other party.
Hua Bushi had earlier judged that the gunman on the roof of the opposite building was a killer of the "Heavenly Punishment", and he could be safe by eliminating the gunman, so as long as he hid outside the range of the other party under the eaves, he would be very safe. But just now, he suddenly realized that this was a trap, and the gunman deliberately exposed his hiding, just to lure Yang Jiangyi away and create an opportunity for another accomplice!
Hua Bushi ran and looked back, the door of the shop behind him had indeed been called, and a black-faced man with a long beard and a long knife appeared under the eaves!
He is the fourteenth killer! He is the zuihou of "Heavenly Punishment"!
The "Heavenly Punishment" only dispatched 13 killers for each operation, and this is just a rumor on the rivers and lakes, who said that the "Heavenly Punishment" could not send more killers at a time? And that rumor in the rivers and lakes is probably also one of the 1,000 ways to kill people in the "Heavenly Punishment"!
This method is precisely to deal with a shrewd and calculating person like Hua Bushi. The more calculating a person is, the more he will rely on the results of his calculations, and he will inevitably be too conceited, thinking that everything is under his control, and once unexpected changes occur, he will be overwhelmed and make fatal mistakes.
is also this kind of killing method, which can kill Hua Bushi!
