From above the old warehouse came the sounds of goods being rummaged through and people talking.
"Strange, I saw that man and a child walk in, but they disappeared here." A rough male voice came from the basement.
The children below trembled all over and huddled together.
"You guys wait here, I'll go up and take a look." Wang Xiaohai comforted, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
"But they are all warriors, the kind that can beat hundreds of ordinary people alone." The little boy Luo Kong said timidly.
"It's okay, me too."
Wang Xiaohai said this and walked towards the dark stairway.
"Boss, there's a secret passage under this wood pile!" said someone from above.
"Let me see, the person who entered the offering room must have gone down!"
The masked leader suddenly lifted up the moldy broken wood, revealing a dark staircase leading down.
"Here, we found it!" the masked team members shouted in unison.
A masked team member rushed in hurriedly, and was hit by a huge force in the face. The team member flew back, bumped into the team member behind him, and fell into a ball.
"Who!" several masked men shouted at the same time.
Wang Xiaohai walked out of the shadows, and the light gradually gathered on his face.
"It's you!" Several masked men took a few steps back.
"You really do know me!"
Wang Xiaohai looked at the masked men - there were six of them in total, their heads wrapped in cloth, revealing two shining eyes.
The masked men drew their weapons and rushed towards Wang Xiaohai, with swords flashing across each other.
Wang Xiaohai gently kicked up the scrap wood at his feet, grabbed it in his hand, swung it in a circle, and broke the weapons of all the masked men. Four masked men groaned. The scrap wood was infused with martial energy and was unmatched. The four masked killers suffered internal shock, internal organ damage, and died instantly.
The masked leader and the person beside him were both in the lower realm of the Golden Martial Realm, with strong physical resistance. They were only seriously injured and lay on the ground groaning.
Just one strike, and four were killed and two injured! This was when Wang Xiaohai wasn't serious. It was like a human stepping on an ant to death. Who would use all their strength?
"You two have one hour to crawl and seek medical help. There's still hope." Wang Xiaohai used his martial energy to carve a scrap of wood into a sword, then placed it against the neck of the masked leader. "Tell me, who sent you to kill me? And why?"
The masked leader and his men exchanged glances, then all bit the poison pill hidden between their teeth...
The wooden sword flashed, and the two men's mouths exploded, bloody teeth flew everywhere. All the teeth and poison in the mouths of the masked man and his men flew out, and were accurately knocked out by Wang Xiaohai.
"You two idiots, your trick has no effect on me. I have been prepared for it. I grew up watching so many TV dramas. I still know how the masked man in black would commit suicide by swallowing poison after being caught. That's how it's played out in TV dramas!" Wang Xiaohai said proudly.
The two masked men were so frightened that they wanted to bite their tongues to commit suicide, but it was impossible. How could they bite their tongues to commit suicide without teeth?
"I can tell you now." Wang Xiaohai stretched out his wooden sword, "I am proficient in a thousand ways of torturing people, and I will make you live a life worse than death." Of course, Wang Xiaohai was bragging. He had never studied this.
"What's a TV show?" the masked leader asked, his voice a little strange, after all, he had no teeth. "Some unknown intelligence organization? They even know there's poison hidden in our teeth!"
"I forgot. You, Beixingzhou, haven't developed a technological civilization yet." Wang Xiaohai slapped his head. "So you don't understand these words. Forget about this problem. Don't change the subject. Tell me your mastermind and the reason why you came to kill me!"
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but if I tell you, my whole family will be in danger!" said the masked leader.
Anyway, he would rather die than speak, and Wang Xiaohai had no choice because he was not good at torture.
"Okay, I'll ask you a question, and you just have to answer yes or no." Wang Xiaohai suddenly remembered the scientific lie detection method of the Evil Spirit Continent, which determines whether the other person is lying based on the pulse, heartbeat, and eyes.
The masked leader said nothing.
"Were you sent by the old priest?" Wang Xiaohai asked loudly, stepping forward and grabbing the hand of the masked leader.
"Did someone from the palace send you here?"
"Did the Emperor send you here?"
"Did the worshiper family send you here?"
Wang Xiaohai asked several questions in a row. Although the masked leader didn't say a word, he had never learned how to hide his lies, so Wang Xiaohai found out the truth directly.
"I understand. The old priest doesn't know you, but you are the descendants of the old priest, that is, you were sent by the priest's family!" Wang Xiaohai told the truth.
The masked leader's eyes widened. He hadn't said a word, yet this man had managed to get the truth out! Was he a demon? How could someone so clever exist in the world?
"I know the truth. You two should crawl quickly and find a doctor. Yes, a doctor. I think you two have more than half an hour to survive." Wang Xiaohai put away the wooden sword.
A boy rushed past Wang Xiaohai with a sharp stick. It was Luo Kong. He rushed to the two masked men crawling on the ground, stabbed each of them once, piercing their throats and killing them both!
Wang Xiaohai was stunned. He didn't expect that Luo Kong was so cruel. He was only eleven years old, but he dared to kill people!
"They killed two of my friends, and have killed countless people over the years. They don't deserve to die." Luo Kong said, his eyes full of hatred.
Wang Xiaohai didn't expect that his hatred was hidden so deeply. It was not easy for this little boy to endure it until now. If he hadn't beaten the two of them to the point where they were unable to resist, he might have hidden it for the rest of his life.
"This boy will be a talented person or a hero when he grows up." Wang Xiaohai thought to himself.
All the children living in the basement of the warehouse ran out and looked at Luo Kong in surprise.
"Brother—" Luo You was so frightened when he saw the corpse that he jumped a few steps.
Luo Kong quickly dropped the sharp wood in his hand, came over to hug his sister, and comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, no one will bully us in the future, brother will protect you!"
All the children gathered around the little boy Luo Kong, obviously treating him as the leader of this small team.
"I'm leaving. By the way, you told me this important news, which saved me from traveling all over the country. I will give you some silver as a reward. I hope you will make good use of it." Wang Xiaohai said, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out 100,000 taels of silver, which piled up in front of the children like a small mountain.
"Is this real?" Luo Kong picked up a piece of silver, bit it, and confirmed it was real. "It's not a magic trick!"
"Brother, that person is missing!" Luo You said.
"Everyone, quickly hide the money," Luo Kong said, "and then deal with the body."
This money became Luo Kong's initial capital for making a fortune. Many years later, when he grew up, he used the money to recruit disaster victims and refugees, established a small force, and invited martial arts masters to teach his men martial arts. He captured a Shuipo Mountain and used it as a base for continuous development. More than ten years later, Luo Kong himself reached the Golden Martial Realm, then came out of the mountain, captured one city after another, and finally attacked the capital, destroyed the royal family of Min State, changed the dynasty, and named the country Kong State. The first emperor was Kong Huang.
