Chapter 429: Shark-Slaying Knife
Chapter 429: Shark-Slaying Knife
"The first one in Zhongzhou!?"
As soon as the first three words were spoken, they really attracted the attention of everyone present.
Chu Qing was speechless for a while.
It seems that the person in front of me should be one of the four tall, short, fat and thin people in the first row.
I just don't know which of the two tall and thin ones it is.
Wanbaolou established the Yibao Bureau to conceal its appearance, which was actually a form of protection.
But he ignored it and directly mentioned the three words "the first one".
I don’t know whether to say that the people in the first group really have no experience in the world, or that they are just skilled and bold.
As soon as he said this, it was inevitable that people would think that the First Dao had been looking for the Dao Master for more than ten years. Now he was asking about the method to restore his memory. It was possible that the Dao Master had lost his memory.
Of course, it is an association, but as for what will be done, no one can say for sure.
In addition, the compensation he offered was a bit uncertain.
Sure enough, someone immediately asked:
"What kind of promise is the so-called first promise?"
“As long as this method is proven to be effective, the First Dao will unconditionally do something for it.
"No matter if this matter is good or evil, right or wrong, as long as it does not harm the First Path and is within the First Path's capabilities, the First Path will complete it even at a great cost!"
As these words fell, the man who had taken out the jade Buddha earlier began to shine in his eyes.
But then it dimmed.
Although the first promise was good, he couldn't give the other party what they wanted.
Moreover, no one can tell for sure whether the first one can deal with the contemporary Martial Emperor.
And everyone else was also interested.
When you are in the world, there are always some things you want to do but cannot do or achieve.
The first one is a hidden sect in Zhongzhou, with a strong foundation and amazing strength.
If we could get them to help, that would be great.
But after being moved, they all fell silent again.
How could memory be restored so easily?
If you are not careful, not only will you not get the first promise, you may even end up with a blood feud.
For a moment, the entire Yibao Bureau room was silent.
Chu Qing didn't say anything either.
He had an agreement with Shopkeeper Song, but now the time limit has passed and Shopkeeper Song has never come to him to ask for memory restoration, so there is naturally no need to do so now.
In the end, the transaction initiated by this person failed because no one responded.
There was another long silence, until someone knocked on the door. The maid opened the door and took back the secret book that she had given away earlier.
He glanced at the piece of paper on the secret book again and said softly:
"The results of the appraisal have come out. This secret book records a peerless martial art.
“But it’s not entirely the right path…
“The devil’s way harms others to benefit oneself. Although this skill will not harm others, long-term practice will harm oneself.
"It is a method of hurting one thousand enemies while hurting eight hundred of your own. Wanbaolou estimates the value of this method to be three thousand taels of gold."
After saying that, he gave the secret book to the owner.
"Injure one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own..."
The owner of the jade Buddha slowly let out a breath, and finally spoke in a deep voice:
“No change!!!”
"That's all."
The owner of the first-grade Chuangyuan Pill put away the secret book and said calmly:
"Just like Wanbaolou said, it's all voluntary and can't be forced."
The deal fell through.
Anyway, Wanbao Tower will be there before dawn, and Yibao Bureau will continue, so we will always meet the right person.
If the owner of the jade Buddha doesn't want to compromise, he will look for another opportunity.
At this point, the scene fell silent again.
Seeing the maid standing silently beside her, just as she was about to speak, a person who had never spoken before slowly said:
"I have a knife called 'Shark Cutter'."
After he finished speaking, he raised a knife with a python skin scabbard and a jet-black handle. It looked deep and restrained, and no one dared to underestimate it.
The next moment, the man pulled the knife out three inches, and the cold blade came into everyone's sight.
The blade was as clear as a mirror, exuding a bone-chilling chill.
All those present were experts, but they all subconsciously narrowed their eyes at the same time, feeling that the blade of the knife could pierce people's eyes.
Perhaps to give people time to adapt, after pausing for two or three breaths, the man finally pulled out the knife completely.
The blade turned and appeared in front of everyone present.
This knife is straight and the tip is slanted.
The blade was three inches wide and about three feet two inches long, and it was chilling and bone-chilling.
"Good knife!"
Some people couldn't help but admire.
The man holding the shark-slaying knife sighed softly:
“This sword is made of the mysterious cold iron from the East China Sea. It contains cold energy that can be stimulated by internal strength.
"The sword weighs nine pounds and nine ounces, and its edge is sharp and hard to find in the world."
He picked up a strand of hair and blew it in his palm.
The hair fell slowly, and when it touched the blade, it was instantly broken into two pieces.
Nothing is worse than breaking a hair by blowing it.
After finishing this task, he sheathed the shark-slaying knife and spoke in a deep voice:
"Are you interested in this knife?"
"It is indeed a good knife. I wonder how much it costs?"
Someone asked.
"I don't want gold or silver, I don't want treasures or secret manuals."
The man holding the knife spoke calmly:
"I want to use this knife to exchange for a life."
Everyone present was quite calm about this. Anything could be bought in Wanbao Tower, so it was reasonable for someone to want to buy his life with a knife.
Therefore, everyone just waited quietly for that person to speak.
The man did not speak, but said:
“I cannot reveal this person’s name for now.
"Otherwise, you must know my identity.
“I can only tell you that this person has unparalleled martial arts skills and is definitely not an ordinary person.
"More importantly, that person has a huge influence and countless experts under his command... If you don't have enough confidence in yourself, please retreat when you know the difficulty.
"If you think you have unparalleled martial arts skills and are worthy of a fight, please ask Wanbaolou to dismiss the others and leave those who are interested to talk to me alone."
"can."
The maid nodded:
"Please follow me, my dear guest."
The man nodded, holding the shark-slaying knife, and followed the maid out of the room.
After a while, the maid returned:
"If any distinguished guest is interested in this shark-slaying knife, please follow me."
Everyone looked at each other, and some shook their heads:
"Although this knife is good, it is not what I like."
"I can't do the thing of killing people... I have no destiny with this knife."
Some people shook their heads, while others gave reasons.
Chu Qing ignored their thoughts and stood up:
"lead the way."
"Invite you."
The maid held out her arm as a sign of guidance and said to the others:
"You may continue."
After saying that, he took Chu Qing out of the room, came to the door of another room, opened the door and invited Chu Qing in.
The people in the room looked back and frowned slightly:
"Just you?"
"You only have one knife."
Chu Qing said calmly:
"Are you planning to sell it to a few more people?" "At least there will be more choices."
The person on the other side sighed and said:
"The person I want to kill is Bai Yitian, the owner of the Dafeng Tower in the Northern Territory!
“This man has extremely high martial arts skills, and has five floors and thirteen halls under his command, filled with many experts.
"What's worse, nearly half of the bandits in the Northern Territory obey his orders!"
"Are you Wan Chunhua, the Lone Whale Blade?"
Although Chu Qing had guessed it long ago, he still asked again.
The man nodded slowly:
"Yes."
Chu Qing smiled:
"After sleeping with someone's concubine, you still want to kill someone?
"Why does this sound so weird?"
Wan Chunhua's tone was slightly impatient:
"It's not difficult for you to know my name, and it's not difficult to know those rumors.
"Today I will use my knife to buy my life, and you can just say whether you agree or not.
"As for this deal, whether it's successful or not is enough. Why bother talking about other things?"
"I like to get to the bottom of things."
Chu Qing said slowly:
“I hate being confused the most… I like your knife very much, and it’s no problem for me to kill people with it.
"Even if you are the owner of Dafeng Tower, I dare to kill you...
“But there is one section, I need to know the details.
"In my palm, there is no sinless person who will never die."
"Ok?"
Wan Chunhua was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Chu Qing, then he said thoughtfully:
"I see……
"That's fine.
“Since you know who I am, you should also know where the name of my Lone Whale Blade comes from.
“After I killed the thirty-one thieves of Feiliu, I became somewhat famous in the Northern Territory.
“But they didn’t know that the seeds of disaster had already been sown.
"The 31 thieves of Feiliu seem to be rampant, but they are actually secretly working for Dafeng Tower.
"It is the real money bag of Dafeng Building... 80% of Dafeng Building's profits come from these robberies.
“My actions are tantamount to digging up the roots of Dafeng Tower.
“So, Dafeng Tower owner Bai Yitian hosted a banquet for me on the surface, but he was actually plotting something in secret.
"He put aphrodisiacs in my food and threw one of his concubines onto my bed.
"On the second day he pretended not to know and loudly rebuked me.
"Then he pretended to be a good person and said he would give the girl to me... If I hadn't known that I had no choice that night, I would have been fooled by him.
“Since I know the conspiracy, how can I do what he wants?
"He fought me to death because he saw that I would not fall for his trick... But in fact, he showed mercy and let me escape on purpose..."
Chu Qing heard this and shook his head slightly:
"You shouldn't have turned against him right then and there. After taking the concubine away, you can handle everything as you wish.
"Even if that concubine is not a simple person...she may not be able to defeat you, the Lone Whale Blade."
Wan Chunhua was stunned, thought for a moment and said:
"…I was in a hurry at the time and didn't think about this."
Chu Qing shook his head, thinking that even if the situation was not urgent at the time, this person might not be able to think of it.
The fact that he could turn against Bai Yitian on the spot shows that impulse dominates this person's character.
Once the emotions get the better of you, you start to not care about anything else.
And this is exactly Bai Yitian’s real plan.
That's why the intelligence from Wanbao Tower said that Bai Yitian united various sects in the Northern Territory to capture Wan Chunhua.
Sure enough, when Wan Chunhua mentioned this part of his experience, he gnashed his teeth:
"It was at this time that I felt something was wrong. While avoiding the people in the Northern Region, I was trying to find out why Bai Yitian, the owner of Dafeng Tower, was targeting me.
“Originally, I gained nothing… but when I killed the thirty-one thieves of Feiliu, I seized a treasure map in a secret location.
“I wanted to use this as an escape.
“I didn’t expect that after I found the location, I would discover the correspondence between the Feiliu Thirty Thieves and Bai Yitian.
"I think this is the backup plan that the Thirty Thirty Thieves of Feiliu left behind because they were worried that Bai Yitian would have to hide his good bow after all the birds were gone."
"Where is the letter?"
Chu Qing asked.
Wan Chunhua looked at Chu Qing again:
"You should know that there should be no conflict in Wanbao Tower?"
"Nature knows."
"Okay, I'll take it, you see."
Wan Chunhua took out the letter from his sleeve, unfolded it, and let Chu Qing read it.
It's no wonder that he is so cautious. Once bitten, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years. If Chu Qing is Bai Yitian's man and directly takes away the evidence and destroys it, then he will never have a chance to turn the situation around in his life.
Chu Qing read ten lines at a glance, and after finishing reading, he said:
"and after?"
"Since the 31 Feiliu thieves are colluding with Bai Yitian, this so-called secret place is naturally not safe. I fled all the way under Bai Yitian's pursuit."
Chu Qing was stunned when he heard this:
"Wait wait wait... the situation was also urgent?"
"Why do you ask this?"
Wan Chunhua shook his head:
"The situation was considered safe at the time...it was not an emergency."
"Then have you ever thought that the reason why the 31 thieves of Feiliu hid the past letters here was to guard against Bai Yitian.
"How could Bai Yitian know this place?"
Chu Qing asked.
"..."
Wan Chunhua was stunned, and suddenly took a breath of cold air:
"This...this...I, why didn't I think of it at the time?"
"One leaf blinds you."
Chu Qing sighed:
"Where did you run to afterwards?"
"...I originally wanted to go to Zhongzhou to hide, but because Bai Yitian kept sending people to hunt me down, I was so nervous that I accidentally killed a girl thinking she was a pursuer. As a result...I offended another important person."
When Wan Chunhua said this, there was already a hint of despair in his tone.
Especially when he thought that he could have been hiding safely in that secret place.
At least I can be calm and not be so embarrassed.
I didn't expect that I would have to suffer so much... and offended a big shot, which led to this result in the end. I feel like crying but have no tears.
"Big shot..."
Chu Qing nodded:
“That big shot is chasing you again?
"It seems that you have caused quite a bit of trouble..."
"Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for the important person's affairs."
Wan Chunhua waved his hand:
“That girl had good intentions, but I killed her, which is an unforgivable crime.
“Even if that big shot doesn’t come looking for me, after I’ve done what I should do, I will commit suicide.
"What can I do... As long as Bai Yitian is still alive, I will not be willing to give up. That's why I have to flee."
"Where did you escape to?"
"One is called..."
Wan Chunhua paused when he spoke here:
"Don't you just want to know what happened between Bai Yitian and me?
"After all this questioning, why does it seem like you have other intentions?"
This bastard was as stupid as a pig when confronting Bai Yitian.
How come he suddenly became smart when communicating with me?
Chu Qing was just thinking about what to say when he heard Wan Chunhua mutter to himself:
"It's okay to tell you...
"I went to a strange place where everyone was vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures. It was so scary!!"
