You can't stand this, right? You're so provocative, and you beat my people. You dare to come to me like a robber!
"Seventh Brother, if you want to fight, just fight. Why do you want to hurt our captain's woman? This kind of guy has a false reputation. We can just take care of him in a few moves. Why make so much trouble?" Mr. Lan said.
The masked man shrugged. He had hardly said a word from the beginning till now. No wonder there was no sound when I eavesdropped behind the wall just now. This guy might be a mute, so he covered his mouth with half of the mask.
"It seems that it was my fault for not teaching you a lesson yesterday," I said.
As he walked towards them, Old Seven began to show fear again with an exaggerated expression, and then he suddenly began to run towards me quickly, without any warning and without any rhyme or reason. I saw him rushing towards me, took a stance, and began to observe the attacker's pattern, only to see him running, intentionally dodging left and right, with no pattern at all, and he always kept his left hand hidden, so his running posture was particularly weird, especially the rhythm between his arm and body.
What a weird thing!
At this time, I saw him rushing towards me from the side, and I heard the sound. He swung his right hand with great force, and he really swung his arm down. I immediately blocked it with one hand, but I didn't expect him to immediately change his palm into a claw and grab my elbow. I couldn't dodge this time. His eyes opened wide, and then he began to show his left hand, which I saw stretched out from his pocket.
You don't know until you see it. I was shocked when I saw it. No wonder it was hidden just now. It turned out that this hand was not a normal person's arm. There were clear purple-black meridians all over it, and the fingers could not move like a normal person's fingers. Instead, they were like a twisting worm. I was shocked, and in the blink of an eye, his left hand strangled my throat. In an instant, the fingers began to harden more and more, and began to show a sharpness like a knife, as if to cut off my head.
Although I couldn't see the expression on his face, I could clearly see the terrifying greed and complacency in his eyes.
"Seventh Brother, stop wasting time. Cut off his head and take it to the captain. This will also satisfy Miss Song's thoughts and let her know who is the king and who is the overlord of this area. Is it our captain, or this so-called Lord of East Island who is not worthy of the title? Hahaha!" The guy said with a big laugh.
Feeling that the wound on my neck seemed to have broken open, layers of anger surged in my heart. If I hadn't suppressed it in time, I was afraid that the polluted dark blood in my body would start to come out again. However, just the rage was enough to cause a wave of air to burst out, directly shaking those fingers away. At the same time, I pulled out the hidden evil knife behind me, but saw that the masked man's eyes were once again filled with fear.
And this time it’s not an exaggerated performance, but real fear!
Swish!
With one fall of the knife, his arm was severed, just like plasticine being shaving off bones and skin, it fell straight down, and the cross section was still as neat as before. He widened his eyes, holding the area that had become flesh, and a humming sound came from the mask, it seemed that he really could not speak.
I took off his mask, but I saw that his mouth had become an ugly big mouth that couldn't be closed. It had no lips, and the purple and black veins were bulging, as if it was infected by something. This time it was my turn to strangle him and said, "Oh, we didn't know each other before, and I didn't intend to do anything to you, but since you provoked me, hit my people, and killed me, then I'm sorry, I will not show mercy to my enemies."
He shook his head vigorously, and saliva kept flowing out of his big mouth that couldn't be closed.
"I might as well tell you that if you compare your weirdness to mine, you may be a dwarf compared to me. There is a monster in my body that you can't imagine. Someone like you is not even worthy of its even a glance. Well, it's time to send you on your way, but thank you for performing a good pantomime for me. It's a pity that I can't appreciate it!" I said.
So I cut them horizontally with my sword in front of Mr. Lan, and without bloodshed, the masked men's heads fell off without even a drop of blood.
"Is this... Hidden Evil? The butcher's knife?" Mr. Lan said while swallowing his saliva.
"Where is your territory on West Island?" I asked.
"You, why are you asking this, Your Majesty!" He immediately changed his tone.
"You answer my questions. If you don't answer the questions I ask, I will kill you to prevent you from talking nonsense," I said.
"Yes, yes, we are on the ground, right in the Black Mountain Cave area of West Island. Our people are stationed there now. I've said it all. Please don't kill me, okay?" he asked.
"Black Mountain Cave? It's a huge cave near the island area at the end of the west, right?" I asked.
"Yes, yes, it's right there. If you are interested, I can take you to meet our captain. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. In this way, maybe you and my captain can become brothers and enjoy this island life together. Isn't it wonderful? Do you know that our captain also admires you very much. He has not heard of your name for a long time and has been longing to meet you. Moreover, he himself was a survivor of this island like you. I think you should have a lot to talk about." She said.
"No need for that. Do you think I need to say anything more to the man who has been coveting my woman and territory?" I asked.
He was stunned and was about to explain, but I didn't give him a chance. Instead, I continued, "It's like this. Since you said you wanted to bring a gift to your captain, then I have to give you a good gift. Otherwise, wouldn't it make me seem too stingy?"
"What gift do you want to give?" he asked timidly.
With a scratch, Mr. Lan's head also fell to the ground. The butcher's knife was extremely sharp and did not shed a drop of blood. The lives of both of them were the best return gift I could give to the captain.
I went over and helped Song Bailu up. Her face was obviously bruised. I brushed the dirt off her face and mouth. She looked quite shocked. She hugged me and expressed her inner uneasiness.
Afterwards, I prepared to send her back to treat her injuries. Of course, apart from the bruises and scratches on her beautiful face, there were no other problems. On the way back, I saw that the left hand of the masked man that I had cut off began to move its fingers again. The index finger and ring finger were obviously still moving. I couldn't figure out what was going on, but it was quite weird.
Just when I was sending Song Bailu back, I suddenly remembered something. If those people were planning to kidnap Song Bailu and would resort to force if soft tactics didn't work, then does that mean the same thing will happen to Yunwen? After all, if it was all planned by one person, then the situation and style would definitely be very similar.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, expecting Yunwen to write back, but there never was. Since I had promised Song Bailu to stay here for two days, I naturally couldn't stay the full amount of time. Besides, since I had killed both of them, there might be follow-up events here. Therefore, even though I was anxious, I could only send a pigeon to deliver the letter and then wait for a reply.
I waited until the evening. During this time, in addition to comforting Song Bailu and asking her to be careful of the enemy, I would often go to the gate of the village to check the situation to make sure whether there would be any more enemies coming. However, when I went there for the third time, which was also the last time, I felt something strange. When I went out, I found that the two headless corpses had disappeared.
Maybe it was taken away by a nearby wild animal, but other possibilities were not ruled out. It was getting dark and I had fulfilled my promise. After telling Song Bailu to send a letter for help if anything happened, I rode Sanfu back to the post station. She watched me leave.
As I was flying up on my Sanfu, I went to take a look near the village. I looked around the area about fifty meters away, but I didn't see any shabby wooden flying equipment, nor did I see the two headless corpses.
A sense of foreboding arises spontaneously.
Afterwards, I rode Sanfu back to Longcheng on the east coast and went to the post station. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the fire inside. However, I heard the conversation between Su Yuexi and Lingshang outside the door.
"Yunwen's injuries have worsened seriously, and I don't know who did it!" Su Yuexi shouted angrily.
"The wound is poisonous. This is a fatal blow." Ling Shang also said.
