Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 46: The enemy is clear, I am not; I am clear, the enemy is dark
There were sounds of breaking and roaring in the Treasure Pavilion. With such a loud commotion, unless the servants of the Hidden Blue Villa were very well-trained, any normal person would not be able to suppress their curiosity and would definitely take a look inside the store.
Tang Zheng even turned around so that they could see his face clearly.
The group of servants quickly glanced into the store, but it was just a glance.
However, it was enough for Tang Zheng!
If anyone showed even the slightest sign of abnormality on their face while looking at him, it would never escape his eyes!
But, no.
None.
The team of servants did not show any of the emotions Tang Zheng expected towards his face.
"Oh." Tang Zheng sighed again.
"Fuck, what are you sighing about? Compensate for my vase!" Ban Yiluo yelled.
"Don't be so stingy." Tang Zheng said with a smile: "Just consider it as a gift from you."
"Am I bored? Why should I give you such an expensive gift?" Ban Yilou looked suspicious.
"Because... in a couple of days, the business of Jubao Pavilion might be a little better." Tang Zheng rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and turned away without taking a cloud with him.
Ban Yilou stayed in the store alone, thinking for a long time.
Why is business a little better?
Business has been so good recently that he is about to bang his head against the wall. Although Jubao Pavilion has a commission system, replenishment of stock can only be done by snatching!
In order to replenish the several emptied containers in the cabinet, he had to use his connections again!
In two days?
How could it be better in two days?
Could it be possible that from such a small fish pond like Wulong Town, another Tang Zheng could suddenly appear?
…
The midday sun is shining brightly.
After Tang Zheng left the Jubao Pavilion, he immediately blended into the crowd, diluted his presence, and returned to the East Street controlled by Tangjiabao.
As soon as he returned to the inn, he saw Azhi and Ghost Grandpa sitting in the corner of the first floor drinking.
When Azhi turned around and looked at him, his face immediately became depressed.
He personally went to invite someone to join the Shadow Powerful List, but not only did he not get a response, but this person actually jumped out of the window and disappeared right under his nose!
What a great humiliation!
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Tang Zheng touched his head, thinking about how he almost took the child's life before, nodded, and casually took out a kitten toy with soft white fur from the shopping bag.
As soon as Ah Zhi saw it, he had a bad feeling...
Sure enough, the next second Tang Zheng threw the toy to him: "Well, it's for you!"
"Fuck! How old do you think I am?" Azhi grabbed the cat in his hand and stood up quickly.
“Hohohoho…” The ghost grandpa touched his chin and laughed happily.
Ah Zhi's face darkened, and he immediately wanted to hit the cat back. However, as soon as he activated his star power, he suddenly lowered his head.
The seemingly inconspicuous toy kitten actually emitted a layer of light white light.
Ah Zhi opened his mouth slightly...
After a closer look, I found that the toy in his hand actually had complicated wiring. At a glance, it looked similar to the "Thousand Tides Array" that assisted the stacking of star tides, but it didn't seem to be it.
Azhi didn't understand the formation patterns, so he couldn't be sure whether this was the Thousand Tides Formation.
But no matter what kind of formation it is, being able to set up the formation so delicately on a small toy is not an easy task...
"Ghost Grandpa..." Azhi looked at Ghost Grandpa for help.
"Well, his device almost killed you. This is what you deserve. You can accept it." Ghost Grandpa looked at Tang Zheng's back as he went upstairs thoughtfully.
"You're sick! Who would bother with such a small matter?" Azhi said angrily.
As the next Shadow King of Yingshan, killing and being killed are basically daily tasks. Being almost killed by Tang Zheng, or being almost killed by someone else, are just trivial matters for him that he can forget after a good night's sleep.
What really made him angry was that a mere one-star warrior dared not respond to his invitation.
Moreover, since the first time they met, he could not detect the other party's presence at all as long as the other party was willing!
"Have you finished eating?" Grandpa Ghost smiled and stood up, carrying his bag, "Let's go?"
"Hmm." Azhi looked at the toy cat he had placed on the table with some hesitation.
The ghost grandfather waited for him patiently but did not speak.
After hesitating for a long time, Azhi snorted, but still reached out and picked up the toy cat.
Grandpa Ghost looked at the decision he made after his mental struggle and laughed again: “Wow, hehe, hehe.”
No matter who Azhi was, he was only twelve years old.
Twelve years old is still an age where children are very interested in toys, especially pet toys.
…
Azhi didn't know that the toy kitten Tang Zheng threw to him was just any toy from a big bag.
Tang Zheng returned to the room, emptied out the contents of several bags, and counted them carefully.
Snacks and toys for Xiao Lingdang and the children of Tangjiabao, purple gold flower water for Xiaotang, his own martial arts book, and a big bag full of materials...
After Tang Zheng finished counting, he patted the sword at his waist and nodded. He only left the handwritten martial arts book "Dagger Secrets" outside, and packed all the other things into different categories.
Room No. 6 has good lighting. The sunlight leaking through the colorful grids falls on the "Dagger Technique", making this incomplete set of martial arts sparkle...
Tang Zheng reached out and opened the first volume of "The Art of Dagger".
A calm breath with a slight scent of sandalwood wafted towards him, and because of the star power guidance of the hand-copied martial arts, the star power in his body also jumped up.
Click.
Tang Zheng pulled out the dagger from the scabbard.
The perfect touch lifted his spirits.
"Star power becomes a tide, three highs to start with, one low to sink..." The first sentence of "Dagger Technique" is without any nonsense, it is a very clear way of star power circulation.
However, Tang Zheng did not do as it said immediately.
Because star tides cannot be formed immediately, just like a glass of water placed on a table cannot start to shake immediately if you just shake it.
But fighting can happen at any time!
If the Dagger Technique started like this, then the actual combat effect would definitely be greatly reduced...
Tang Zheng took a deep breath, inhaled, and exhaled: "Try it first."
He swung his dagger into the air, and suddenly, a strange force seemed to push on his star veins!
The star power in the whole body is divided into four parts!
Three strands rushed towards his right hand holding the dagger, and one strand quickly sank!
Tang Zheng only felt that the balance of star power in his body was suddenly broken, three highs and one low, and once the gap was formed, under the impact of each other, three huge waves of the same height were stacked up in an instant!
A guide to hand-copied martial arts!
Tang Zheng quickly looked down...
"Extend into the dagger, push the tide and strike out." Tang Zheng recited it while feeling the flow of star power in his body.
He only felt a force reversing under his feet, and both his body and the entire star power were accelerated by the recoil force and gathered on his fingers!
Then, a lavender light, like a laser beam, quickly emerged!
Clank, clank, clank…
The dagger in his hand did not touch the window in front of him.
However, a hole the size of the tip of an index finger was pierced through the colored glass window, and then the entire window shattered and fell down one after another.
"Uh..." Tang Zheng knew at a glance that the original result of this martial art should have been to pierce that hole. As for the shattered window at the back, it was entirely because he did not control his star power well enough and some of it leaked out.
The more star power that has dissipated, the less damage his attack will cause!
Although the first practice was not perfect, Tang Zheng gained a more detailed understanding of martial arts.
No wonder this book "Dagger Technique" requires two stars in one palace - if this starting move, the control of three high and one low star power is completed with two different main star powers, the whole process will definitely be faster and the effect will be stronger!
"Good martial arts." Tang Zheng has confirmed that this is indeed a martial arts book suitable for him.
Looking out the broken window, he saw a group of servants from Hidden Blue Villa trotting past...
Of course, the servants of Yinlan Villa were in East Street, and they did not dare to wander around in neat clothes. However, it was not difficult to judge their identities from their formation and the way they marched.
"Yo..." Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The number of people sent out by Hidden Blue Villa has been increasing recently, which is actually a bit abnormal...
Because, no matter how much Yinlan Villa hated him, he was just one person after all. Compared to him, Yinlan Villa had many more important things to do right now.
Unfortunately, no matter how many more people were sent, the error in information would make it impossible for the large force from Hidden Blue Villa to find him!
Regarding this, he had tried it an hour ago in a "safe zone" called Jubao Pavilion by smashing a vase that was said to be an antique.
"However, someone in Yinlan Villa knows who I am and that I live in Tangjiabao." Tang Zheng thought of the battle in the alley. "Someone may even be able to recognize my face."
Tang Zheng clenched the dagger in his hand.
In the past, he thought that the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark, but now the situation has changed dramatically.
There was a small group of people in Yinlan Villa who knew his appearance and strength, and even tracked down his location. They used the Shadow King's Order to hire people to enter Tangjiabao to kill him, but he had no idea who that small group of people were!
"We can't go on like this, we have to find them." Tang Zheng shook his head. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, which is definitely the most uncomfortable situation for an assassin!
