Chapter 190: One person's ability is equal to an entire battalion's
Sparrow Lane in the inner city, with houses at the end of the lane.
The wall is old and peeling, and a wooden door that has turned white from wind and rain is bolted from the inside.
Behind the door was a narrow courtyard with a bumpy ground and lush moss growing in the corners. The air was filled with the smell of decay from the sun.
In the middle of the three main rooms, a man with bare arms was sitting on a drum stool against the wall, half of his body was shrouded in dim light.
The other two sat opposite him, both with gloomy faces and speaking in strange dialects.
"I was staring intently at the stage for half an hour, and I really didn't notice anything strange." Qu Lao San said, "When she fought against Fourth Brother, she used real kung fu."
Qu Lao Er's face was filled with anger and shock. "There's no doubt about it, but this is the strangest thing! A little kid, still wet behind the ears! Even if he's been practicing martial arts since his mother's womb, he's only practiced for a few years. How could he possibly defeat my fourth brother?"
The five brothers have practiced martial arts for more than 30 years and have fought countless battles. It is safe to say that looking at the entire martial arts world, they can also be ranked among the top 50 masters.
It would be fine if I lost to Zi Yi, but losing to a little kid?
The fighting scene on the ring and his fourth brother's miserable appearance kept replaying in his mind. Qu Laoer punched the old dead corner table beside him with a loud bang.
He had never seen such an arrogant and cruel kid!
Boss Qu sat in the shadows, his eyes changing light and dark, deep and unfathomable.
"Brother, two of our brothers were killed the first time they ran into us today. The people from Bai Mansion and Wangque Tower have also been keeping an eye on us. It may not be as easy as we imagined to accomplish anything here." Qu Lao Er was relatively calmer, but he frowned with worry in his heart. "They say that in the exile zone, fists are the only way to gain power, but that's not the case. These mules in the inner city are very xenophobic."
Boss Qu stood up from the drum stool, walked out of the shadows, and came to the four-legged table. He raised his foot and kicked the outward-slanting corner of the table inward, "Don't hit the useful things in the room. They can't withstand being hit."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at the other two, his eyes cold and full of warning, "Don't forget the real reason why we are here."
It wasn't until his two younger brothers avoided his gaze and lowered their heads that he continued, "Bai Xiaofeng's crossbow was shot down, and the Sky-Swallowing Net at Pier 12 was rendered useless. Both fights involved the little girl from the Su family.
No one has ever seen such a person, and it is not certain whether such a person really exists. However, there must be something strange about that little girl. It’s just that no one knows how she hides it from the eyes and ears of outsiders.
No matter whether it is the crossbow or the Sky-Devouring Net, both are powerful weapons that can be used on the battlefield. The little girl was able to remain unscathed by these two weapons and even caused great losses to the opponents. This kind of ability... She alone is capable of resisting an entire battalion of soldiers!
We must remember our Lord's command. If this alien can be used by us, it would be best. If not, we must eliminate it! Otherwise, once it grows strong, it will be our doom.
Huo Ziheng is still alive!"
There are still some descendants of the Huo family who have escaped the net.
If you don't remove the root of the problem, it will surely come back to life someday.
Now more and more helpers have begun to gather around Huo Ziheng, even Bai Mansion and Wangque Tower have begun to move closer to him. Once these forces are gathered together, coupled with Huo Ziheng's ability to strategize, overthrowing the dynasty will not be a foolish dream!
The one who brought together these people who used to be kings was the little girl from the Su family!
"Be prepared and leave within three days."
"Boss?"
"We are no match for them in a head-on fight. We need to consult our Lord and make a long-term plan on this matter!"
…
At night, the moon in the sky is big and round, and the sky is full of stars shining brightly.
The weather starts to get cooler in October. After dinner, the people of Tubei Village rush to wash up and finish their work before dark, so there is no need to light a lamp after dark.
Sitting in the yard as a family and chatting under the night sky is the most relaxing and pleasant leisure time of the day.
In Xiao Su's yard, old women and old men, men and women sat together, talking about their vegetable garden, the rice that had not yet dried, and the gossip of the village.
There were bursts of laughter.
There were also a bunch of children sitting in the yard of the old man next to him.
Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu did not dare to stay at home at this time, and ran here specifically to avoid being scolded.
The adults at home looked at them with displeasure today.
As a result, the three of them hid here and didn't dare to speak loudly, but whispered in low voices.
"The masters from the inner city that Bai Yu mentioned are those five. Now there are only three left out of the five. It is definitely impossible for them to emerge as a sudden force in the inner city." Su An spoke in a low voice, crossing his hands in front of his chest, gloating.
Su Wen was no less sceptical, and spoke with conviction, "Those people are obviously not good people. Not only do they use hidden weapons, they also use poison. We must beat them until they can't even get up."
Su Wu crossed his legs and snorted, "Except for Grandpa Du, that group of people should be the second group of people disliked by the entire Inner City. How can they possibly stay in the Inner City after incurring public anger? I dare to guarantee that it won't be long before they pack up and leave in disgrace!"
The old man, who was suddenly brought out as a foil, kicked the girl's crossed legs down and said, "What do you mean by 'young master'? Speak louder!"
Su Wu immediately covered his mouth and his eyes curved into a silly arc.
If he dared to speak louder and his grandparents heard him, he would be beaten up when he got home.
The moonlight in October is gentle and cool. The temperature at the foot of the mountain at night is much lower than during the day. You can feel the coolness if you sit for a long time.
Old Man Du draped the coat he had been holding in his arms over the little girl beside him and repeated his old tune, "Tianbao, you must remember what Grandpa Du said. You really can't be so aggressive next time. With that brat Bai Yu here, he will definitely take better care of Zi Yi."
Their little sweetie is just too protective of his children.
But being too sentimental is not always a good thing.
Sometimes he really wished the little girl had no conscience so that she could live an easier life.
Tianbao sat on a low stool with her hands on her knees. Her quiet appearance always made her look particularly well-behaved. She tilted her head to look at the old man, then stretched out her hands to pull away his frown. "Bao knows."
"Did you not count me out for daring me to challenge you? I would have refused to leave the stage then! Humph!" The old man recalled the scene of the little baby standing in front of the towering man, shouting, "Send him to hell!" It was both funny and frightening. "Luckily you have the ability to suck... Bao, did you use your last trick of sucking darts?"
Tian Bao remained calm and said, "Yes, I sucked the knife into my body."
She wanted to say that she didn't use spatial force, but used real kung fu, because she was afraid that Du Grandpa would suffocate.
The old man smoothed his chest and let out a breath, "Thank goodness, thank goodness."
A bright yellow orange was handed to him, and the little girl smiled with her eyes curved. "Eat fruit to calm your nerves."
The old man couldn't help laughing, his back straightened up, "Since you're offering this as a gift, I'll eat it!"
Three hands stretched out from the side and spread out in front of the old man, "Grandpa Du, whoever sees it gets a share!"
Du Buqu glanced at the three of them and shouted, "Old man and sister-in-law of the Su family! These three guys are planning to fight again!"
“…”
Poisonous grandpa, why are you so anxious to harm me?
