Chapter 259: The 8-clawed octopus and the life-saving straw
Chapter 259 Octopus and the Life-Saving Straw (Sorry)
The river surface is still quiet.
A quarter of an hour had passed since the Fuwei Escort Agency sent out the signal arrow.
The naval base on the shore and other colorful boats cruising the river a few miles away were like spectators in the black fog, as if what had been launched into the air by the "Fuwei" was not a warning arrow, but just a few fireworks to cheer people up.
Jia Renda's sword broke, and he retreated behind the tall and thin man and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Hou, this idea is difficult to implement. What should I do?"
Hou Renying glared at Jia Renda, and was very dissatisfied with his rash use of martial arts from his master.
This move, Pingsha Luoyan, is one of the Qingcheng Sect's unique skills.
It was not until a few years ago that Yu Canghai passed it on to his outstanding disciples, and the outside world knew very little about it.
Hou Renying looked at the black-robed swordsman who suddenly appeared. He had decent martial arts skills, but he didn't know where he came from. He secretly made some calculations in his mind.
"Master has formulated a strategy to scare the Fuwei Escort Agency, weaken their will, reduce their courage, and destroy their hope, so that they will finally let us control them. Then it will be much easier to force Lin Zhennan to hand over the Sword of Exorcism."
"This matter is extremely secret. Before obtaining the sword manual, it cannot be spread to the world. Otherwise, it will definitely attract other covetous people."
"Tonight's purpose was originally just to intimidate the Lin family. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to create any more complications."
"As for this black-robed swordsman, if he is just a passing immortal, it would be fine. But if he dares to interfere without knowing the consequences, then the senior masters in our sect will come and deal with him."
Ordinary disciples of Qingcheng Sect thought that Sect Leader Yu Canghai went to great lengths to attack the Fuwei Escort Agency in order to avenge the death of their founder Chang Qingzi. If it were really that simple, why would the entire sect have to be mobilized and spend so much effort to weave a tight net?
As the leader of the Four Talents, Hou Renying participated in the decision-making of the sect and knew more inside information than Jia Renda and others.
Zhang Yu was also observing Hou Renying. He saw that the other party had a steady breath and a strong body. His martial arts should be much better than that of the short and fat man. He had a soft and fragile octopus hanging on his body and was unable to move. He had no intention of continuing to attack.
Moreover, Zhang Yu was one of the vultures who had been eyeing the delicious piece of meat that Lin Yuantu had inherited, so there was no need for him to put in any real effort.
After all, the life and death of the Fuwei Escort Agency has nothing to do with him.
"Tonight is the festive occasion in Fujian. The river and the sea are in competition with each other. Everyone hopes for good luck. It is unlucky to see the swords and weapons. Whether you are seeking wealth or revenge against Chief Escort Lin, please change the date. How about that?"
Hou Renying seemed to be really moved by the words of the black-robed swordsman. He sneered and said in a deep voice: "Retreat!"
The six people retreated to the right side of the boat in order, turned over and jumped down together, landed in the speedboat waiting for them, and rowed quickly into the black fog.
Lin Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief, his sword fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from his right hand.
"This group of Qingcheng Sect evil spirits are well-trained. It seems they have been planning this for a long time."
Zhang Yu looked up and saw that everyone on the boat was injured, the deck was covered in blood, and there were five or six corpses lying on the ground. His evaluation of the strength of the Fuwei Escort Agency dropped to a lower level.
These bodyguards and porters look big and strong, know some martial arts and can wield swords, but compared with the real masters of the martial arts world, they are in completely different worlds.
There is no need to mention the Sun and Moon Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect, these two century-old enemies.
Even the less powerful underworld gangs like the Qingcheng Sect, Dian Cang Sect, Tianhe Gang, and the Five Immortals Sect have a history of hundreds of years. They have been honing their killing skills all day long, using martial arts as the foundation of their sects and the basis for their struggle for supremacy.
He sent experts to travel across states and prefectures, and ordinary officers and soldiers were unable to stop him. He did not take the imperial court seriously and was a group of people who were beyond the law.
Since Lin Yuantu banned his descendants from learning the internal skills of the Sword of Exorcism, the Fuwei Escort Agency has been reduced to a street business. Lin Zhennan has not yet faced reality. The vegetarian chickens and rabbits are trying to make friends with lions and tigers.
"Without strength, and possessing a treasure, yet unaware of it, it's no wonder that you have become a fish on the chopping board, being manipulated by anyone."
Zhang Yu shook his head secretly, but looked down at the woman hanging on him.
The jacket and skirt had been soaked by the lake water. In the struggle for survival, the shoes and socks had long disappeared. The knee pants were torn in half, revealing the snow-white calves. The red cardamoms on the ten o'clock, like crystal silkworms, still maintained the posture of survival underwater, from the left and right sides of the waist, firmly locked Zhang Yu's "life-saving straw". He was full of blood and fit seamlessly with the "octopus", and his heart was inevitably throbbing. Qinglong quietly raised his head, pressing the two layers of thin cloth, and uncontrollably had the intention of exploring the sea.
A beautiful woman in her twenties is like a fruit still on a branch, mysterious and immature.
But a middle-aged woman like Wang is like a ripe fruit. One can smell the sweetness of the skin and flesh even from a distance.
Lin Zhennan hurried over to check his wife's injuries. Seeing that she was just unconscious and her breathing was still steady, he felt completely relieved.
Zhang Yu asked, "Captain Lin, are you okay?"
Lin Zhennan was extremely grateful: "I just got a minor injury, but it's nothing serious. May I ask your name? Where is your master? I will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to your house with my whole family to express my gratitude."
Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "My last name is Zhang, Zhang Liyu. I have no sect or affiliation. I am just a wanderer in the martial arts world, and I am the head of Chief Lin's escort... You'd better find a way to get Madam Ling down. She has been underwater for a long time. I'm afraid she has a hidden disease. We need to ask a famous doctor to take a closer look..."
"Young Master Zhang is right."
Lin Zhennan was a little embarrassed. The battle had just ended and he was exhausted. He had been careless and had actually forgotten about this.
When he looked over again, he saw his wife, her clothes in disarray, her shoes and socks all gone, being so intimate with a strange man. He felt a little jealous and quickly called for an escort.
The two men stepped forward and tried to help Madam Wang off Zhang Yu.
"En~"
A few soft hums.
As soon as Lin Zhennan took action, he found that things were not that simple.
Mrs. Wang was between life and death, and driven by instinct, she grabbed the other person, intertwining their hands and feet, making it extremely difficult to separate them.
Although she had escaped from danger, subconsciously, she still believed that she was still underwater, and she used all her strength to hold on to this "lifeline".
"Madam, Madam..."
Lin Zhennan shouted several times, but there was still no response from his wife. If he had not checked her breath, he would have thought she had drowned.
He surrounded Zhang Yu and tried many times, but he still couldn't pry open his arms and thighs, which were important parts.
"Don't worry, Chief Escort, this is what happens when a person drowns..."
The escort who was called over to help saw that Madam Wang's clothes were tattered, with large patches of white snow showing. He was worried that she would be punished later, so he was not really very enthusiastic. He just watched from the side and pretended to be concerned.
"How could this be, how could this be..."
Lin Zhennan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. As the head of the Fuwei Escort Agency, he had other considerations besides his wife's safety.
The people on the boat were fine at the moment. They had experienced a fight themselves and knew what was going on.
If the dozens of people who were fighting for the tide come back and see their wives in such a state, it will become news if it is not already news, and there will inevitably be some who talk nonsense. I am afraid that tomorrow she will become the biggest joke in Fuzhou city.
The escort was watching from the side, worried that Lin Zhennan would blame him for not putting in enough effort, so he spoke hurriedly.
"Captain Escort, my lady's body is tense right now. She is on the verge of life and death. That's why she... hugged this young man tightly. If we force her down, I'm afraid her tendons and bones will be broken, or even her qi and blood will flow backwards, damaging her body."
Lin Zhennan frowned: "What should I do?"
Zhang Yu stood quietly without saying a word. Lin Zhennan's pulling just now caused him to collide with the "octopus" on his body several times, which completely aroused the nameless fire in his heart.
I had a small gathering with friends last night, and then I fell on the bed after coming back. I originally just wanted to take a nap, but I fell asleep unexpectedly. I didn’t wake up until after four o’clock today, and just finished this chapter. I will try to make up for yesterday’s two chapters today. I would like to apologize to the book friends who were waiting for updates yesterday.
