Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 38 Worth it or not
In fact, all the guests in all the rooms of Xinglai Inn have been alarmed.
However, people who have been walking around Wulong Town for many years know that if no one tells you to move, it is best not to act rashly!
So, soon, the doors that were opened a crack were closed again.
Tang Zheng pricked up his ears and listened to a few words.
The communication between the old man and the guards of Tang Family Fort was not very smooth at the beginning, because although Tang Zheng knew Shadow King Order, the guards of Tang Family Fort did not!
The guards kept emphasizing that East Street was the territory of Tangjiabao. Just when Tang was thinking about whether to go over to smooth things over, the old man smiled and sighed, put away the purple-gold Shadow King Token, and took out another thing...
Tang Zheng didn't see it clearly.
However, he heard the guards fall silent.
"...Then, I will go to Tangjiabao soon and explain the matter of East Street to the lord of the bao. "The old man finally succeeded in communicating.
"Yes, yes , I will definitely convey it." The guard was sweating coldly.
Tangjiabao claims to be protecting the East Street of Wulong Town, but that also depends on who they are!
What the old man showed them was actually the guest badge of the Qian Tang family!
A guest from a top aristocratic family!
With such status, even if the entire East Street were torn down, Tangjiabao would not be able to protect it!
"Go to bed early, young friend." The old man came back and smiled at Tang Zheng again.
"Go to bed early!" Tang Zheng nodded.
The door of Room No. 2 was closed gently.
Tang Zheng took a quick glance and saw that as the old man walked in, he casually threw the things he had shown to the guards into the junk bucket inside the door of the room.
Throw away...
Tang Zheng was stunned for a long time.
"He must be a well-known and powerful person in Xingyao Continent." Tang Zheng returned to Room No. 6 and closed the door. Only then was he really sure that the old man and the child really had no intention of making things difficult for him.
In fact, they seemed not to take the fatal disaster seriously at all.
The scene just now was still replaying in Tang Zheng's mind over and over again.
One-handed, catch the arrow!
The Soul-Annihilating Crossbow that can kill a three-star warrior was actually taken on with one hand!
A crossbow arrow made by hand by a master with only one purple gold coin could be crushed so easily in the hands of a truly powerful person!
Moreover, something that could subdue all the guards of Tangjiabao...
He can just throw it away!
"Haha, haha." Tang Zheng laughed again. He suddenly realized that when the old man destroyed all his mechanisms, he was already hinting to him: the safety of the inn is under my protection, so stop messing around!
Seeing Azhi's depressed face, Tang Zheng could guess that he must have ruined the other party's very important things today!
But this can't be blamed on him...
Originally, his mechanism was not prepared for them.
It was really getting late. Tang Zheng shook his head, didn't think any more about it, closed the door and went to sleep.
…
In Room No. 2, the lights remained on for a long time.
Azhi was really depressed. After returning to the room, he kept muttering to himself while treating his wounds.
"Grandpa Ghost, tell me, am I very unlucky?"
"He's clearly here to kill me, why would he do that? He's not helping me, and all he's doing is making things worse!"
"He almost killed me. It would have been fine if I had died, but now that I'm alive, and I still owe him so much money, can I kill him so I don't have to pay him back ?"
The old man called Ghost Grandpa looked at him with a smile but did not answer.
And Ah Zhi didn't seem to expect his answer, and continued to mutter...
"Forget it. He didn't ask me for it. I gave it to him on my own initiative. Humph, I don't want to owe him anything."
"But...if it weren't for him causing trouble, Ghost Grandpa wouldn't have taken action, and then I wouldn't have to start the succession assessment over again..."
"Ahhh, what should I do if I still want to kill him?"
Azhi was so confused that he almost ran into the wall.
Should we kill him or not?
The ghost grandfather did not disturb Ah Zhi and let him figure it out on his own, while he stroked his chin and laughed.
The wound on Azhi's ankle was so deep that the bone was visible.
The buckle of the bone lock goes directly through the middle of the bone. If it were a person without star power, this would be enough to cripple his legs. However, the physical strength of a two-star warrior is no joke. Azhi pulled out the lock hook and threw it aside, applying medicine on the wound. As the star power turned, the wound began to heal slowly.
After Ah Zhi treated his wound, the ghost grandfather spoke: "You can continue your assessment."
"What?" Ah Zhi, who had a depressed look on his face just now, suddenly had a face full of surprise.
"What he arranged was not originally part of your assessment at this stage. There was nothing wrong with the test questions, but there was a problem with the examination room... I took action not to help you resist the assassins , but to deal with some things that shouldn't exist. So, this time it doesn't count as a failure for you." Ghost Grandpa smiled and nodded.
Tang Zheng's mechanism caused almost fatal damage to the assassin within a few seconds!
And if Azhi had not stepped on the bone lock, he would not have been seriously injured.
Therefore, judging from the evaluation, Azhi's strength is definitely above that of the assassin!
But Azhi was indeed inexperienced and had no idea about the upwind killing technique - wherever there was poisonous fog, there would be a trap at the nearest upwind location, so he stepped on the bone lock.
"Ahhh! I don't have to start over! Then I don't want to kill him anymore." Azhi dragged his injured foot and jumped up. The pain in his ankle seemed to be non-existent to him.
"Yeah." Ghost Grandpa confirmed again, "You don't have to start the test again."
“But…” Ah Zhi pursed his lips, “Today’s fight was not going well. His trap prevented me from using any martial arts skills! Every time, every time, I wanted to use my martial arts skills, they were interrupted. It’s so annoying! Well, I think… I should go kill him!”
"Oh, hehe, hehe..." Grandpa Ghost said with a smile, "Ah Zhi, did you notice his arrangement of the mechanism?"
"Aren't they just those things? I can use every one of them!" Azhi answered proudly.
"Really?" Ghost Grandpa's eyes were half closed and half open.
“……”Azhi looked around.
"First, it was the huge wooden thorn on the beam that restricted your movements. Immediately, the explosion in the room attracted your attention. When you approached the room, the scattered star oil splashed out from under the door. You had to concentrate on controlling your steps, but at this moment, the sad wind fog blew out from above. Well, you dodged the sad wind fog and jumped into the corridor, and landed right at the location of his Seven Hidden Edge Needles..." Grandpa Ghost restored every step of Azhi's response.
"Hmm..." Azhi's head lowered lower and lower.
"The design of the mechanism is so complex that every step is linked to the next. It can suppress a two-star warrior so much that he can't even use his martial arts. Can our Ah Zhi really do that?"
"..." Of course Azhi couldn't do it, but he was unwilling to admit it.
"You know, he didn't see you at all! But, his mechanism just blocked every step of your martial arts... Oh!" Ghost Grandpa added with a smile.
There was silence in the room.
Ah Zhi twisted the corner of his clothes and continued to be stubborn unhappily: "Even if he is powerful, what's the point?"
"Oh?" Ghost Grandpa looked at him with a smile, "Why does it become meaningless?"
"Humph, just to kill a one-star peak warrior, including me, and a two-star beginner warrior... it costs several hundred taels of purple gold, is it worth it?"
Grandpa Ghost smiled gently and said, "But this two-star warrior is the next Shadow King of Shadow Mountain? Is it worth it?"
Azhi's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
…
It rained heavily early the next morning. Tang Zheng looked at the rain and did not go out.
He opened the window and faced the drizzle that drifted into the room. He took light steps and layers of star tides quickly piled up with his footsteps.
The star power that had been cleansed by the main star of the Moon had formed a star tide that was countless times smoother than before. The new star power continued to accumulate, impacting the star veins and his body over and over again.
Three hundred, four hundred...
The high star tide rushed straight up, and then slammed down suddenly. Two different star forces, one up and one down, continuously pushed up the height of the star tide!
In fact, the mechanisms that were set up last night could all be activated directly by star power.
However, one mechanism required four to five hundred wisps of one-star power. It was impossible for Tang Zheng to activate one mechanism and then stop to rest for a few hours before activating the next one. Therefore, he had to make a slight modification and changed it to a fully manual chain trigger structure.
"Huh..." Tang Zheng stopped.
The one-star power in Tang Zheng's body has already taken shape into more than five hundred strands.
As long as he gathers a thousand strands, he will be able to step into the middle level of one star!
After a short rest, he began to cultivate star power again. When he reached six hundred strands, he ended today's practice.
The rain outside the window is getting heavier.
West Street is full of flower shops, gambling houses and other places. There wouldn't be many people there in this kind of weather, and it would be too conspicuous to show up on West Street at this time, so he decided to wait until nightfall.
"I wonder what the prices of the cabinet's martial arts and weapons are." Tang Zheng had already taken out five pieces of purple gold. After thinking about it, he decided to take out two more pieces.
Today he will definitely teach that stubborn Ban Yiluo a lesson!
However, when he threw all seven pieces of purple gold into the bag, he heard a "hiss" and the intricate array patterns on the bag gradually lit up with a white light. Then, all the scattered things in the bag fell out.
"What kind of broken bag is this? It's broken like this?" Tang Zheng was stunned and speechless. "Who are you kidding? I still have to carry it over by myself."
Fortunately, after advancing to one star, his body was impacted by the star power again and again and became more solid. Otherwise, with a weight of seventy kilograms, he would really have no room to move.
After practicing star power for a whole day, the rain had not stopped by night.
However, the starlight is dim on a rainy night, which is just the right weather for an assassin to travel...
Tang Zheng had packed his bag and was about to jump out of the back window when he heard knocks on the door.
"Who?" Tang Zheng turned his belt, and several daggers on his waist could fall into his hands at any time.
"Hmph, why don't you open the door? It's me!" The voice that came from outside the door was Azhi's.
