Suddenly saved by this strange but strong swordsman, Li Xingkong felt like he was dreaming . He struggled to stand and express his gratitude or flatter the swordsman, should he change his mind . However, Li Xingkong failed . He found that the assistant of the swordsman had much strength, and that he was much weaker than him . Worse still, he could not move at all . And so, Li Xingkong could do nothing but allow the assistant to deal with his wound .
"The assistant is also quite powerful . . . " Glancing at Jiang Hengchuan, who looked like a farmer, Li Xingkong was even more shocked .
Still, with his back to the swordsman in white clothes, the last survivor dared not act rashly . He fearfully replied, "Snake King wanted to annex several controllers to win over Han Sanniang and others . After he was refused by Brother Li, he promised us that as long as we killed Brother Li, he would give us a large sum of money, or offered us Brother Li's position, or those controllers . We, we were overcome with desire and lost our minds . . . "
"Hmph, I'm not your Brother Li!" Li Xingkong was irritated . His wound hurt .
The survivor kept nodding and not daring to reply again . He peered at the back of the swordsman in white clothes .
"Why did Snake King choose to annex them at this time?" Meng Qi asked calmly while drawing back his sword to the scabbard . Like snow being blown by the wind, the blood on the sword dropped .
The survivor immediately shook his head . "I wouldn't know Snake King's plan . Maybe it was because Han Sanniang and the head keeper Luo are more and more aggressive . "
"Wait quietly . " Meng Qi ordered firmly .
Obeying Meng Qi's order, the survivor repressed his fear and stood aside with his hands down . He did not dare to launch any sneak-attack to the cold swordsman in front of him .
"North Street leads to River Jin . " Meng Qi suddenly said looking at Li Xingkong .
Li Xingkong's eyes lit up . He promptly answered, "The dragon belongs to the vast river . "
"It turns out that Six Fan School did, in fact, receive the message and sent a master to save me . It's so good to be supported!"
"Any news about North Street?" Without the cold sword light, Li Xingkong was less cold and more handsome . However, his pride was still clear .
With the help of Jiang Hengchuan, Li Xingkong stood up and forced a smile . "News comes from North Street every day . Otherwise, North Street wouldn't be North Street anymore . New assassins finish their apprenticeship there, and some people are killed at the corner every day . "
"That's routine North Street . I'm asking if anything strange happened?" Meng Qi changed his wording .
Thinking Li Xingkong said, "Something abnormal? The most apparent one was that Han Sanniang and the head keeper Luo seemed to plan to work together . Thus, Snake King had to act before them . As for Snake King and Han Sanniang, they were both abnormal . "
"Snake King has a yard where he trains assassins . Normally, he goes there about twice a month . But these days, he went every day . Han Sanniang has a house at the end of the street where her lovers live . This month, she didn't favor anyone, but she stayed there last night . "
Like a good assistant, Jiang Hengchuan quietly listened to their conversation . Meng Qi said with a smile, "Snake King wanted to add them . It was reasonable to go to the yard, wasn't it?"
"No, it would only alert Han Sanniang . " Li Xingkong denied as if he knew Snake King well . "If he planned to do something, he would do it without showing any signs like the betrayal of my men this time . "
Meng Qi stood up straight . His white robe looked colder under the dim candlelight . "Anything else? Any strange things happen to normal families?"
Meng Qi thought the spies of the grassland would disguise themselves as normal people or hide in shops . They might collect information by taking advantage of North Street, but avoid attention .
"Normal families? How could there be a normal family on North Street?" Li Xingkong rebuttled . "They have to be abnormal if they want to live here . "
"Is anyone trying to gather more information?" Meng Qi asked in a direct way .
Although his words were strange, Li Xingkong understood anyway . He shook his head . "Nothing abnormal . On North Street, news is money . If there's nothing strange about the money, then the spread of the news is absolutely normal too . "
Meng Qi knew Li Xingkong hadn't heard anything new . Thus, he said with a smile, "Do you have any words for the Snake King?"
A seemingly kind smile filled with pride . . . Li Xingkong paused and was confused . "I'm sorry?"
"If he wants to add you, he has to pay the price . We're not easy to deal with . " With the quality of a swordsman, Meng Qi viewed Snake King as a nobody .
While he secretly used Secret Voice-sending to communicate with Jiang Hengchuan . "Let's investigate the two weird characters first . "
While he secretly used Secret Voice-sending to communicate with Jiang Hengchuan . "Let's investigate the two weird characters first . "
"Ok . The assassins must have tunnels in their yards . Since we don't know where Wolf King is hiding, we would alert the enemy if we acted rashly . We better find out where Snake King is hiding first . But, I think he's more likely to be in Han Sanniang's house . After all, there're so many logical reasons for Snake King to continuously go to the assassins' yard . " Jiang Hengchuan shared his opinion .
"Well, great minds think alike . But we now have legitimate reasons to find Snake King . We don't need to worry about alerting Wolf King . As long as we act quickly, we won't alert the big boss behind Snake King either . " Meng Qi laughed .
Snake King enticed Li Xingkong's men to betray him . They even tried to assassinate him . He had to pay the price .
This way, everyone would view it as a common North Street takeover .
After thinking, Jiang Hengchuan said, "Ok . "
Hearing that this cold swordsman would take revenge for him, Li Xingkong was comforted, although dozens of years in Jianghu had made him a cold person . He immediately refused . "No, no, no . Snake King has many followers . Among them, there're many masters such as the Four Big Protectors . They either have super skills or have opened their nine acupores . It's not easy to defeat him . Besides, assassins are everywhere in his house . It's as dangerous as a dragon's pool or a tiger's den . "
"In addition, Snake King's kung fu is unpredictable . In recent years, he hasn't fought much . No one knows which level he has reached . Furthermore, he might have the support of a master of Left Way .
Meng Qi listened carefully and coldly answered, "
"He's old . "
Meng Qi's pride made Li Xingkong speechless . Meng Qi was right . Snake King was 70 years old now . He was too old . He was in his declining years if he was not an Exterior . Even though he had been strong before, how much of his strength was left?
If he was an Exterior, he would have killed Han Sanniang and the others a long time ago . So Meng Qi and the group did not need to worry about that!
After a moment of silence, Li Xingkong sighed, for he had seen that Meng Qi had made up his mind . "Viewing such a dangerous place as nothingness, you're so righteous and brave . I'm ashamed . I can't match you . I can only tell you some relative information . "
"The head of the Four Big Protectors is 'Poisonous Arhat' . He has not opened nine acupores, but is good at concealed weapons . Once, a master was hit by 81 concealed weapons during a battle with him . 'Shura Palm' was a very strong nine acupores . He's much stronger than those masters who used drugs to improve their strength . "
"The only big headache is that Snake King is prone to run away by secret passage if anything strange happens . The longer a person stays in jianghu, the more timid he becomes . "
"The only big headache is that Snake King is prone to run away by secret passage if anything strange happens . The longer a person stays in jianghu, the more timid he becomes . "
Meng Qi listened to him quietly . He calmly said, "I know . Now, you go publicize the news that you were attacked in secret . Make everyone on North Street believe you're incompatible with Snake King, and that you would still have revenge on him at any moment . "
"I'ill do it right away . " Facing such a cold and strong swordsman, Li Xingkong unconsciously became a follower .
Meng Qi turned around and said to the survivor, "Go with us . "
It was the first time the survivor had seen Meng Qi's eyes . Like a long sword, Meng Qi's eyes were deep, cold as snow and ice . He dared not say no . He could only obey Meng Qi's orders .
. . .
Snake King's house sat in the middle of North Street . It covered a large area and had a complicated setup .
The floor that he lived on had a secret passage . It was also separated by a large space and linked with other yards by passages to avoid sneak-attacks .
At the door, the survivor swallowed hard . He was too frightened to violate Meng Qi's order . As told, he knocked on the door in a specific way .
After a moment, an able bodied middle-aged man opened the small door . He was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a cold yet handsome swordsman in white and his assistants . "What's going on?"
He was shocked to see so many strangers .
"I come here to help them . " Meng Qi said in a manly voice .
The man felt that Meng Qi was extremely huge like a god or a Buddha . Meng Qi was so imposing that he believed Meng Qi's words . "Well, you come here to help them . "
"Li Xingkong secretly turned to Han Sanniang for help . We failed . " The survivor said what he prepared before .
"Really? I'll take you to see the Guardians . " The man was surprised .
The two Guardians on duty tonight sat in the hall near a small building . It was only about a corridor away from Snake King's room . Meanwhile, several strong assassins were also hiding in this corridor .
"Really? I'll take you to see the Guardians . " The man was surprised .
The two Guardians on duty tonight sat in the hall near a small building . It was only about a corridor away from Snake King's room . Meanwhile, several strong assassins were also hiding in this corridor .
Inside the hall, several assassins hid in dark corners . A tall and thin man with yellow hair sat in the chair on the left side . He put his hands in his sleeves . He was "Shura Palm" . Opposite him, a young man was cutting his nails . He bore a big smile on his face . He was "Poisonous Arhat" .
As Meng Qi and the others approached, "Shura Palm" stood up . "Who are they?"
"They're helpers of Yue Gu . " The able man answered honestly .
"Helpers?" Poisonous Arhat squinted . All of a sudden, he jumped on Meng Qi . His concealed weapons flew out . They were Flying Locust Stone, Plum Needles, Iron Caltrop, arrows, forks, spears, darts, claws and meshes . They all shined with dark blue and a fresh green color . Some of them flew directly toward Meng Qi . Some of them hit each other . Some attacked Meng Qi's back after moving in a circle . Together they made up an invincible web, making it hard for Meng Qi and others to dodge!
Jiang Hengchuan stepped forward to counter Shura Palm .
The survivor shook and was covered with a fine sheen of sweat . However, the swordsman, instead of dodging, rushed toward Poisonous Arhat with his sword in hand .
The sword light shone . Some concealed weapons scattered in different directions . Most concealed weapons hit Meng Qi .
Suddenly, the concealed weapon flew back . Poisonous Arhat stopped and he was hit by Plum Needles, Iron Caltrops and other items . His face quickly darkened . His expression showed that he was so surprised that he was killed by his own kung fu .
"Bang!" The assassins in the hall were all killed by concealed weapons controlled by Meng Qi .
His clothes were as white as snow with no stains . Under the candlelight, his long sword looked so sharp .
When fighting with Jiang hengchuan, Shura Palm was a little careless . He put out his right hand which was swollen . It had a strong smell of blood .
Jiang Hengchuan suddenly opened his fist, and caught the wrist of Shura Palm as if he had practiced this move for thousands of times . And then, Jiang Hengchuan forcibly shook his hand as if he were holding a seven-inch long snake .
"Crack"! All the bones in Shura Palm broke . He fell down to the ground and died with his eyes open .
The survivor was so shocked that his eyes and mouth were wide open . In front of Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan, the Four Big Protectors had been just like children . . .
Suddenly saved by this strange but strong swordsman, Li Xingkong felt like he was dreaming . He struggled to stand and express his gratitude or flatter the swordsman, should he change his mind .
