Volume 2: Buddha's Hand Saves All Living Things, Subdues Demons and Attains Bodhi Chapter 92: Meeting the Two Dragon Leaders Again
The screams were shrill.
Li Muchan was very familiar with this voice; it was Gongsun Tu.
But these flashes of swords and shadows suddenly disappeared, appearing quickly and falling away quickly.
After a few breaths, the lights came on again.
Under the dim light, Li Muchan stood with a sword in hand, his black hair flowing, and a stream of blood dripped from the green sword that he pointed at an angle.
There were several bodies lying at his feet, including three of Yan Nanfei's maids, two members of the Money Gang, and several unknown killers.
Looking at the corner again, Shangguan Xian'er was nowhere to be seen.
Li Muchan's eyes immediately became gloomy. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly saw a man rushing towards him.
Ye Kai's face was as solemn as water, his eyes seemed to be filled with questioning and coldness, and he opened his mouth to speak.
"Don't tell me yet. Let me guess." Li Muchan suddenly laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Ding Linglin is missing ?"
These two people are inseparable. Since Ye Kai came alone and had this expression, it must be that his sweetheart was in danger.
"Who did it?" Li Muchan asked again.
Ye Kai's face was grim. He glanced at the bodies lying all over the ground. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't know. When the lights went out, a fight broke out. The man was very skilled. He dodged and disappeared when the lights came back on."
Li Muchan walked to the other side and knocked on the door lightly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I killed two blind men," the voice of the goddess of bliss rang out from inside the house, "You dare to climb through my window."
"Ye'er?" Li Muchan called again softly.
Ye'er responded through the door with a crisp voice: "Uncle, I'm fine."
Hearing the child's voice, the doubt in Ye Kai's eyes completely disappeared. Although he knew that Li Muchan was very ambitious, no matter what, if a person wanted to accomplish something big, he would never bring a child with him.
Li Muchan said quietly, "They must still be in the inn. No one can leave now."
He looked sideways along the corridor at the closed doors on both sides, his cheeks twitching slightly.
Ye Kai also smiled bitterly: "I knew that meeting you would be bad news."
There was the sound of swords and sabers before, but now it has become quiet, as silent as death, so quiet that it makes people tremble.
Ye Kai frowned: "It seems that person wants us to search room by room."
Li Muchan said calmly, "Do you know how many guest rooms there are here? This inn has a total of 49 guest rooms, plus the lobby downstairs and the woodshed and stable in the backyard. No one knows if anyone has sneaked in during the time when the lights are turned on and off."
In this way, there may be dangers and ambushes everywhere just behind the door.
Because no one knows what is behind the door. It may be a sword array that strikes down on you, or an overwhelming amount of hidden weapons. If you act rashly, you may die without knowing how you died.
"Haha," Li Muchan's tone suddenly turned cold. "I say, just burn this inn down. I don't believe they can hide here. If I can't get it, no one else can."
Ye Kai hurriedly stopped them and said, "No, if Ding Linglin and Shangguan Xian'er are knocked unconscious or tied up, they will be burned to death."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows habitually and was about to say something else when his eyes suddenly changed. He said "Huh" and quickly returned to his room.
Ye Kai reacted at the same time as him.
As soon as the two entered the room, the lights suddenly went out, but the moonlight outside the window was already bright, and a figure in green was seen flashing in front of the half-open window and then disappearing.
Li Muchan's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze as cold as lightning. He quickly glanced at the corpses on the ground in the moonlight and found that there were actually two missing.
He kept moving his feet, turning and shifting, and unleashed the "Thousand Illusions Fragrance Steps". Suddenly, several unpredictable ghostly shadows appeared in the room, bringing with them a gust of eerie, chilling wind.
But just as he reached the window, a cloud of flying rain suddenly came over him.
From the corner of Li Muchan's eye, he could only see the green shadow, which was like a swimming fish. His shape could not be seen. It seemed to be floating under the moonlight as if it was riding the wind. Then it flashed into the blind spot of his vision and disappeared.
The flying needle came with great force, and Li Muchan immediately fell back, pushed the wall with his left foot, and floated several feet away in the blink of an eye.
When he stood still, he suddenly saw dozens of flying needles as thin as cow hair on the wall. They were blue in color and were clearly poisoned. They could penetrate deep into the wood, which showed that their power was very impressive.
"What an amazing hidden weapon technique," Ye Kai exclaimed, then looked at Li Muchan and laughed, "You didn't realize someone was pretending to be dead?"
Li Muchan let out a long breath, his eyes flickering, and nodded very seriously, "This is indeed a huge mistake, Li will keep it in mind."
Ye Kai's words were just a joke, but he didn't expect Li Muchan to take it so seriously. Instead, he was speechless for a moment and touched his nose feeling bored.
The two glanced at the ground again.
Ye Kai said with a strange expression: "Two are missing, one is Yan Nanfei's maid, and the other is a killer whose origin is unknown."
The reason why their origins are unknown is because they all have their faces covered.
Li Muchan shook the tip of his sword, and the cold light trembled. The masks on the faces of several corpses flew into the air, revealing their true faces.
But what was disappointing was that Li Muchan didn't recognize any of them. Not only that, except for the facial features, the entire faces of these people were covered with knife wounds. Even if they didn't cover their faces, others would have no chance of recognizing them.
But he could make a rough guess.
Who else but the Qinglong Society would have the guts to intervene at this time?
It really is haunting us.
Li Muchan smiled quietly, but was thinking about the green-clothed figure in his heart. Since they were from the "Qinglong Society", these two must also be disciples of the Qinglong Society, and both of them were extraordinary masters. Interesting.
"Should you go find Fu Hongxue?" Li Muchan said.
"Don't worry, anyone who is not a fool will never take the initiative to provoke him," Ye Kai stared at Li Muchan closely, "but you, you didn't deliberately act like this just to get the Peacock Feather, did you?"
Hearing this, Li Muchan laughed happily: "Who knows, after all, a member of the Demonic Cult like me, haha, is full of conspiracies and tricks, you better be careful."
The two of them were talking back and forth when suddenly a scream was heard downstairs.
"ah!"
Ye Kai moved upon hearing the sound, stretched out his body, and floated down from the window. The moment he landed, he saw dozens of flying claws coming from all directions.
This is actually an extremely rare weapon in the martial arts world, called "Lao". It is shaped like an iron claw with a handle at the back. It can be long or short. A long one is a long weapon and a short one is a short weapon. It can also contain an iron chain, turning it into a deadly flying claw, which is extraordinary and strange.
Moreover, there was a hint of black gas emanating from the flying claw, which was apparently also tainted with a deadly poison.
Looking at the people who attacked, they were all hiding in the dark. One could only barely make out their height, weight, and body shape, as well as a pair of cold eyes that seemed to be taking lives.
Ye Kai was startled, and he took a deep breath. His falling body suddenly stopped, as if he was suspended in mid-air. He stepped on the iron chain and moved towards these people.
However, suddenly a hidden weapon broke through the air, and Ye Kai had no choice but to retreat again.
At the critical moment, a black knife came through the air, and the scabbard spun rapidly in the air.
"Be careful, the weapon is poisonous!"
Before the sword was unsheathed, those who had attacked were forced to retreat one after another, and then disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace.
On the roof, Fu Hongxue seemed to have been sitting for a long time, with a round bright moon hanging behind him.
He leaped down, raised his hand and caught the black knife steadily.
Ye Kai was delighted to see this and was about to greet him, but he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked around hurriedly, only to find that Li Muchan was nowhere to be seen.
Where is Li Muchan?
Li Muchan was standing quietly in the darkness at this time, and there were twenty-three auras hidden in the darkness around him, dormant and motionless, like dead objects.
It turned out that he had taken advantage of Ye Kai's attempt to attract murderous intent to secretly capture and kill a person and sneak in.
It turned out to be a killer from the "Qinglong Society".
No wonder those people were quiet, they probably hid themselves and dared not move.
Moreover, there were wisps of black mist in the air, making it even easier to hide.
Li Muchan's shoulders and feet did not move, his waist and hips did not move, and his heels did not touch the ground. His whole body was like a ghost, and even his heartbeat seemed to have stopped. He exerted force on his toes and slowly swung towards the nearest breath. With a quick and light movement of his right hand, he followed the faint breath and landed on the back of the opponent's neck.
The man seemed to be startled, but his reaction was slow.
Li Muchan's move was ruthless and silent. He quietly squeezed and lifted the opponent's spine with his tiger's mouth, and suddenly a piece of bone bulged out from the opponent's spine.
Without even a scream, the man went limp like a puddle of mud.
After a successful move, Li Muchan floated to the other end, using his Netherworld Shadowless Body Technique to its extreme, and his men killed four people in a row.
But when he was about to kill the fifth person, something unexpected happened.
Just when he was about to succeed, the man reacted incredibly quickly, snorted coldly, and with a delicate hand, he turned his wrist and wrapped his fingers around to grab him. His move was quick, decisive, fierce and swift.
Just this series of changes in moves and postures have incorporated many variations of such grappling techniques as the 72 major grappling moves, the 18 drops by touching the clothes, and the bone-breaking hand.
How could Li Muchan show weakness? His eyes flickered and shone brightly. He met the attack with his right hand using the Netherworld Ghost Claw. In a flash, the two had fought for more than ten moves, locked wrists, and were in a stalemate.
While competing, both sides were able to distinguish each other's shapes and move quickly.
This person turned out to be the maid in green who pretended to be dead and escaped.
Li Muchan looked at the pair of bright eyes so close to him and grinned, "Second Dragon Head, long time no see."
