Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 69: Dagger Technique, Fighting for the Crown
Echo Lane, West Street, Wulong Town.
A carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Lan Shaoze jumped down from the carriage with a gloomy face. He looked at the deserted alley, his eyes as dark as the night of this dead end.
"Are you sure it's here?" Lan Shaoze asked a servant next to him.
"Yes... We only heard the sound coming from here, but... we only smelled an unpleasant smell when we came here, and didn't see anyone." The servant lowered his head, "We didn't know that the young master would come in person, we... we..."
Lan Shaoze reached out to stop him from continuing to flatter him, and asked towards the carriage, "Isn't Master Xu coming down?"
Traveling with Lan Shaoze was the only three-star warrior beside him, Xu Qingyan.
Hearing Lan Shaoze's question, Xu Qingyan did not get off the carriage. He just lifted the curtain and glanced at the dead end inside where there was not even a corpse. Then, he closed the curtain and said nonchalantly, "Feng Le is dead."
Lan Shaoze's eyelids twitched.
Those servants only came because they heard the sound and did not see anyone. Feng Le himself and Lan Yanyi, who was in contact with him, were both missing, but Xu Qingyan was certain that Feng Le was dead, and he died here.
There are many ways to make a person's corpse disappear, but there is only one thing that can make the remaining star power fluctuations disappear, and that is time. They obviously arrived in time this time, so Xu Qingyan could easily see that Feng Le's last star power fluctuations remained in this place.
"Turn around, head north, and exit the city." Xu Qingyan said.
Feng Le died here, but Xu Qingyan did not mention Lan Yanyi...
Lan Shaoze immediately jumped onto the carriage: "Let's go!"
On the night between spring and summer, the soil carried an unpleasant dampness. As soon as he left the city, Lan Shaoze smelled a strong smell of blood. Without Xu Qingyan saying anything, the coachman drove the carriage to the place where Lan Yanyi died.
The meridians in Lan Yanyi's hands and feet were broken, and he died in a twisted posture beside a big tree.
Only then did Xu Qingyan jump out of the car.
"We are still late." Lan Shaoze stared at Lan Yanyi's body and said, "No matter what Lan Yanyi said, we have to reconsider all our plans!"
"Oh." Xu Qingyan did not comment.
Lan Shaoze moved closer to Lan Yanyi and started searching him.
The Lan family servant behind him hurriedly followed him: "Young Master, don't dirty your hands. I'll find what you need..."
Since someone was willing to help, Lan Shaoze withdrew his hand and pointed at Lan Yanyi's body and said, "There should be three account books on his body, recording the details of the transactions with the Zhaixing Sect, the Qintian Sect, and the shops on West Street."
The Lan family servant immediately reached out to look for it.
It had not been long since Lan Yanyi died, and his blood had not yet completely coagulated. The servant had blood all over his hands and even tore Lan Yanyi's pockets inside and out, but he did not find the three account books.
Lan Shaoze's eyes became even darker. He turned around and got back into the carriage without even saying anything about collecting Lan Yanyi's body. "Master Xu, is this the same person from last time? The same person?"
"Yeah." Xu Qingyan nodded.
"Where is he now?" Lan Shaoze asked.
"East Street, Xinglai Inn." Xu Qingyan closed his eyes and leaned back in the carriage.
Lan Shaoze frowned again.
Why is it either in Tangjiabao or on the territory of Tangjiabao!
Lan Shaoze took a few deep breaths, and with a "bang", he slammed his fist heavily on the wall of the carriage.
"The ancestor repeatedly ordered yesterday that the people from Yinlan Villa should stop causing trouble in East Street during this period. If my people take action, whether they can kill him or not, they will be attacked from all directions both at home and abroad!" Lan Shaoze said.
"Hmm..." Xu Qingyan snorted a cold laugh, but what came out was, "You are very rational."
"Reasonable? Master Xu, you think too highly of me! However, before I find a suitable reason, not only can I not touch him in the territory of Tangjiabao, on the contrary... I have to find a way to cover up the fact that he killed Feng Le in the territory of Yinlan Villa!" Lan Shaoze's fingers almost crushed the window of the carriage, "Second time! Master Xu, this is the second time!"
Lan Shaoze knew very well what Feng Le's identity was.
This person cannot die, he can only disappear!
And even if he disappeared, he could not disappear on the West Street of Wulong Town, but had to disappear on the way back to Qintianzong.
If this were not the case, both Lan Shaoze and Yinlan Villa would be devastated by Feng Le's death!
The man was killed by his enemy.
But he has to clean up the enemy's mess!
He has never encountered such a ridiculous thing in his life!
Lan Shaoze himself couldn't understand how he could have swallowed this anger.
Moreover, this was the second time he had to cover for this enemy!
It is not easy to swallow the same breath once, but he has to swallow it twice!
Xu Qingyan raised his eyelids and glanced at Lan Shaoze's face: "Then, I'll go to Xinglai Inn tonight and kill him?"
Lan Shaoze gritted his teeth and said, "No need! Do I need a three-star expert to kill a one-star bastard? I, Lan Shaoze, can't afford to lose face like that! "
Xu Qingyan snorted again, but did not refute.
Lan Shaoze added: "The most important thing now is Feng Le! Master Xu, please go to Qintian Sect and make it look like Feng Le was attacked on the way back to Qintian Sect! Be quick, be quick!"
Xu Qingyan looked at Lan Shaoze deeply and jumped off the carriage without saying a word.
From a rational point of view, it is indeed the most important thing now to distance Yinlan Villa from Feng Le’s death!
However, Xu Qingyan always felt that Lan Shaoze was becoming more and more arrogant, and that something else was missing...
After Xu Qingyan left, Lan Shaoze still had a lot of things to consider.
"Young Master..." Another confidant in the carriage lowered his head and said to Lan Shaoze, "I feel that Master Xu has been a little... too dismissive of the Young Master recently, right?"
Pop.
Lan Shaoze slapped the confidant in the face: "If you have Samsung, you can do the same!"
The confidant lowered his head quickly: "Yes, yes, yes... My strength is too low, I can't help the young master."
Lan Shaoze pulled open the curtain of the carriage, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
His expression quickly returned to calm.
He will not give up on swallowing up Tangjiabao in one gulp.
And of course he would not let go of someone who could cause him trouble again and again!
…
When Tang Zheng returned to his room at night, he did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he opened the book "Dagger Secrets" and turned a page.
The first move was the opening move. He was sure that he had practiced it very well. Whether it was the circulation of star power in his body or its extension outside the body, he could use it with ease. To use the concepts from his previous life, that would be "skill proficiency 100%"!
Therefore, he started practicing the second move - "Chongguan" without any hesitation.
"When two stars collide, the tide can last for thousands of miles; when the energy is gathered, it becomes a rush..." Tang Zheng recited each sentence silently, and his steps began to move.
The collision of two stars is a relatively intense form of star power operation. The initial move is a forward and backward coordination, which makes the extension of star power have an explosive extension force. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it can extend for thousands of miles, but there will definitely be no problem in killing people more than a dozen steps away. In fact, Tang Zheng has already done it.
However, the second move requires "concentrating the incoming Qi". One is releasing outward, while the other is concentrating. This puts a considerable burden on the star veins. Moreover, without the power of two stars, it is actually impossible to do it.
"This Dagger Technique is perfect for me." Tang Zheng figured out the second move by himself without any guidance. After an opening move, the power of the moon leaped to the upper hand and quickly gathered the star power. When the surging star tide reached the top again...
The power of the sun burst out!
With one strike, the table and chairs in front of Tang Zheng were instantly shattered. The star power flowed from the starting move to "Furious Hair", and the damage caused was multiplied!
However, a stronger force is also more difficult to control.
After Tang Zheng tried it once, he originally thought that he no longer needed the guidance of hand-copied martial arts. However, after carefully feeling the flow of star power in his body, he still felt that something was wrong.
Unable to retract the move!
Martial arts are a cycle formed by the extension of star power, but his second move did not form a cycle after it was performed. If a martial art cannot be quickly retracted, it will cause something that no warrior wants to see - a flaw!
