Chapter 18 Killing a Rank 9
"I never expected that!"
Li Yuan was also surprised, not expecting the medicine to be so effective. The man even wanted to order a hundred packets, which naturally cost twenty coins per packet.
However, he did not agree.
One hundred packs, enough to kill him.
It must be because it's useful... just like the hunter, he became a middleman.
"Are there really that many men who are incapable in the martial arts world?"
...
Next came Li Yuan's frantic purchasing spree.
I bought 100 jin of cornmeal and 20 jin of flour at once.
Then I bought a chicken, fifty eggs, ten pounds of pork, and a slab of pork fat.
Finally, I also bought white sugar, salt, some vegetables, and didn't forget to bring a square cake for Xiao Lijun.
After all that, the sack was full, and there was still some money left, but no rush, we can buy more next time.
"It's time to go back."
As he spoke, he quickened his pace and headed towards the exit of Xiaolingfang.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw several people holding portraits. The moment he came out, they looked at him, compared him, and after confirming that it was correct, they immediately nodded to each other.
However, they did not come over immediately, after all, this was Xiaolingfang, and the Wild Wolf Gang did not dare to cause trouble here.
Among these people, a short, stout man caught Li Yuan's attention.
Standing there, he was like an iron pillar, especially with the way he looked at me, as if I were a venomous snake, and the calluses on the back of his hands.
"Is he a martial artist?"
Li Yuan wasn't sure, but it was probably true.
The burly man guarding the entrance watched this scene with amusement, his only regret being that he had to stay there and couldn't watch the show.
Li Yuan ran forward with lightning speed, disappearing into the darkness almost in the blink of an eye.
"Follow him, we can't let him get away, otherwise the gang leader will severely punish us."
The short, stout man gave a soft shout and took the lead, while his henchmen fought desperately.
...
"It's over, it's over, that medicine seller is doomed this time."
"By the way, that short, fat guy is the Wild Wolf Gang's top enforcer, a ninth-rank martial artist, he's really powerful!"
"This Wild Wolf Gang... is too domineering!"
...
At the entrance of Xiaolingfang, a murmur of discussion arose.
At that moment, a pair of eyes were fixed straight ahead; it was Huang Si. "My brother, don't die! I still need to do business with you!"
.....
The wind whistled past his ears, and he could hear the footsteps chasing after him.
Using the same tactic as last time, Li Yuan lured the group into a dead end.
dong dong dong....
The Wild Wolf Gang caught up, only to find it was a dead end, but completely deserted.
"Find him! He came all the way this way, he couldn't have run away!"
"Is it hidden somewhere?"
At his command, he looked up and searched around to see if the creature was hiding above.
but--
Splash.....
A cloud of white powder was suddenly thrown at him, and the powder immediately scattered.
A faint smell immediately filled my nostrils.
"Be careful!"
"There's something wrong with this powder!"
He roared.
But it was too late!
"Fatty, I'm so dizzy, I can't take it anymore..."
clap clap...
Several henchmen fell to the ground one after another.
Fatty's expression changed, and the next moment he also felt dizzy.
The qi and blood in his dantian immediately surged out, and he gradually regained consciousness.
But a cold light descended from the sky.
The whooshing sound of something cutting through the air exploded in his ears.
The short, stout man instinctively drew the horizontal sword from his waist, his flesh and blood bursting forth instantly, and slashed upwards with the sword.
His strength is among the strongest even among those of the ninth rank.
With this strike, there will surely be a scream of agony.
"Clang—"
A piercing metallic sound rang out, and the next moment, with a clang, the broken tip of the knife fell to the ground.
"Hold!"
Li Yuan cursed, "Is this short knife so bad? Otherwise, with the force of this strike, this short, fat man's hand would be crippled."
The fat man's right hand, which was holding the knife, trembled incessantly, and the web between his thumb and forefinger was already torn.
"You are a martial artist!"
Li Yuan's flesh and blood erupted, and he charged out like a cheetah, throwing a punch at him—that was the answer.
Fatty steeled his heart. Even if he was a martial artist, he was only at the ninth rank. Now that the knife was gone, would he be afraid?
He gripped the knife with both hands and slashed out.
But the next moment, Li Yuan sprinkled the powder he had just used at him. At such close range, Fatty couldn't dodge it at all. Although he immediately held his breath, it was too late. His eyes glazed over, and the knife in his hand went astray.
But in just a moment, his eyes began to clear.
A martial artist's vital energy acts like a natural protective shield.
but--
Li Yuan manipulated the qi and blood within his body, surging it into his right arm. The power of his flesh and blood instantly erupted, and even faint blood-colored lines appeared under his skin.
He punched the fat man in the chest.
A sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out.
"Danger!!!"
Although Fatty was still somewhat dazed, his heart pounded wildly thanks to years of fighting and his martial artist's intuition.
His footwork changed instantly, and his body slid backward at high speed, creating an acute angle between himself and the ground.
"This is a movement-based martial art!"
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes. Compared to him, he was nothing but an eighth-grade cultivator. But... he would soon have some.
With a push of his foot, he leaped into the air.
Fatty had regained his senses. He changed his steps quickly, steadied himself, held the knife in both hands, and cautiously sensed his surroundings.
"behind!"
He turned and slashed with his sword.
Suddenly, two hands appeared on the blade, firmly gripping it. He was immediately alarmed and tried to pull back the sword, but Li Yuan's hands remained completely still.
The next moment, with a burst of strength from his arms, the blade spun, and Fatty's hands jerked, causing the hilt to slip from his grasp!
Clang...
The sword fell to the ground!
"You... an eighth-rank official!!!"
Fatty let out a shriek. How could this be? He knew all the eighth-rank officials in the outer city, but Li Yuan's face was completely unfamiliar.
How could you possibly be in the mood to speak at a time like this?
Li Yuan punched him hard in the chest, sending the fat man flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.
Fatty felt like his chest was about to explode.
But the next moment, a chill ran down my neck.
Li Yuan gripped his sword, pressed it against his neck, and stared at him coldly.
"Have mercy, sir! Don't kill me! I'll give you all the money I have, and I can even introduce you to the Wild Wolf Gang!"
But Li Yuan tightened his grip on the knife slightly, and Fatty's neck was split in two. "Killing you is also mine."
He spoke calmly.
As for joining the Wild Wolf Gang? He had no such idea.
He then rummaged through the fat man's body and found a money pouch. He opened it and saw at least a dozen taels of silver. Li Yuan's lips curled up.
Indeed, murder and robbery are the right way to get rich.
"This is...."
With a tearing sound...
Li Yuan tore open the fat man's inner lining, revealing a small booklet. In the moonlight, he saw three words: "Willow Leaf Step!"
Martial arts!
"good!"
This is the biggest takeaway from tonight.
After touching Fatty, Li Yuan, carrying his sword, went to the group of henchmen who had fainted earlier. After touching the zombies, he slashed each of them once, and if any were still alive, he slashed them again.
He then strode away to where he had hidden the sack.
