Chapter 32: Knife Falls

Ximen Qing came from a wealthy family and had enough money to find a famous teacher to learn spear and stick martial arts. He was also very brave and aggressive, and earned a bad reputation in Yanggu.

At this time, he was confident of his strong martial arts skills and had several friends to help him, so he did not take Wu Song seriously at all.

However, he didn't expect that when he relaxed for a moment, Wu Song's huge fist came close to him.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Ximen Qing raised his hand and lifted the table to block it. Plates and dishes slipped and shattered into pieces, but Wu Song's eyes were as fast as lightning and his fists were as hard as iron. He had no intention of dodging at all.

There was a crisp sound.

The angry fist went straight through the center of the table, and the surging force landed on Ximen Qing's chest.

"Cough cough."

Ximen Qing was beaten so hard that he staggered back several steps. Only then did he realize Wu Song's amazing strength.

Wu Song pressed the table top with his left hand and pulled back his right arm that had just launched the attack. He saw a few sawdusts stuck on his fist.

At this time, Ximen Qing had already climbed up, and with his fists raised, he kept backing away from the window, shouting fiercely, "What are you waiting for? This thief is incredibly strong, brothers, come at him together!"

The 'brothers in life and death' he invited to accompany him were willing to share the joys and sorrows when it came to eating, drinking and playing with women, and were willing to go through fire and water to fight and bully the weak, but they would remain exceptionally calm when faced with tough guys.

They were stunned by Wu Song's explosive punch and scattered aside, not daring to meddle. Only his follower Dai An saw that something was wrong and ran downstairs in panic to call for help.

Seeing his 'brothers' standing by and watching, Ximen Qing secretly cried out in pain, but unexpectedly found a short stick on the windowsill.

It’s a little short, but with a stick in my hand, I am the sky!
Ximen Qing held the pole and exerted force to hit him head-on.

How could Wu Song be hit by him? He just stood on tiptoe and moved diagonally backward like a compass.

There was a whoosh sound, and the pole broke through the air and hit the wind.

As soon as Ximen Qing raised his hand to pick up the stick, Wu Song grabbed his wrist.

As he stared in panic, Wu Song performed a smooth side kick, hitting Ximen Qing's chest like a bell. He then flew out of control and hit the window, falling buttocks down on the street.

Ximen Qing only learned how to fight with a stick and didn't put any effort into strengthening his body, so after being knocked down from the restaurant, he had already lost his ability to resist.

He opened his eyes dazedly and saw Wu Song jumping down from the second floor, lifting his collar with one hand and showing his fist. Ximen Qing was so frightened that he begged for mercy in a hurry.

"Good man, good man, spare my life"

"It's easy to spare your life, but give me my brother's life back!"

"No, no. I can tell you where your sister-in-law went."

"Don't mention that whore."

When Wu Song heard Pan Jinlian's words, he became even angrier. He changed his fist into a palm and slapped Ximen Qing in the face, causing his mouth to be full of blood and several teeth to fall out.

"You spread rumors that I committed incest with my sister-in-law, which led to my brother divorcing his wife and catching him in adultery. In the end, I died tragically in a ruined temple. All of this was planned by you. Do you want to know why I bought aphrodisiacs? I'll tell you now."

"Hmm. Ugh."

Ximen Qing had stars in his eyes and his head was dizzy. He didn't hear what Wu Song said at all until something was forced into his mouth. Only then did his confused brain become clear.

Wu Song played "The Tiger Descends the Mountain" and "The Virtuous Woman" and stuffed the porcelain bottle into his enemy's mouth. Then he slapped it on his mouth and sent it down his throat. Ximen Qing jumped up in pain because his trachea was blocked.

Just then, Wu Song heard Yang Chang calling him.

"elder brother."

"Sanlang."

Wu Song turned his head and looked back, and saw that Yang Chang had captured Dai'an. He thought that Sanlang was still thoughtful as always. If he used this man to identify Ximen Qing, the magistrate would have nothing to say.

"Brother, be careful! Ximen Qing is trying to run away!"

Yang Chang reminded him and threw his sword at the same time. Wu Song stood up, caught the sword, drew it out of the sheath, and threw it in the direction of Ximen Qing's escape. The sword flew away with a cold light like an arrow.

The blade pierced into his back and instantly pierced through his chest with blood.

At the moment Ximen Qing was stabbed, his dizzy head suddenly regained consciousness and everything in front of him became so clear. Even after he fell to the ground, he kept his eyes open and could not close them.

His lingering regret was not that Wu Song was seeking revenge on him, but that the carriage that had just turned around and fled on the street was the one that the distinguished guest from the capital was riding in. Unfortunately, the visitor was quite different from what he had imagined.

Ximen Qing was killed in the street, and Dai'an was so frightened that he was stunned.

Yang Chang brought the wooden chicken to Wu Song, shook his head and sighed, "In fact, if we control this person, we can also make Ximen Qing guilty. It's a pleasure for my brother to kill him, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to get away."

"It's okay. Wu Song is a man of integrity. He has no intention of killing anyone. I won't implicate you." "Brother, you are being polite. I am not afraid of being implicated."

From Wu Song's sudden answer, it can be heard that he has no intention of becoming a bandit at this moment. As soon as Yang Changke finished speaking politely, he saw a flash of light appear on Ximen Qing's body.

Yang Chang's mind suddenly became lively. He handed Dai'an to Wu Song and said, "He is Ximen Qing's personal servant. He should know all the evidence of his master's crimes. Is there anything you want to ask? I'll go see if the person is dead or not."

"Alright."

Wu Song really wanted to ask something, but Dai'an was grabbed by the arm by him and was so scared that he trembled like a quail and burst into tears.

"Please spare my life, I will tell you everything I know."

"As for the evil things Ximen Qing did, you should report them to the magistrate at the yamen. I only want to ask you one thing now. Where is the whore hidden? Is she dead?"

"Whore? Are you talking about Pan Jinlian? She is not dead yet, she has been sent away."

"Sent away? Where did he go?"

Wu Song got excited and grabbed Dai'an's collar with one hand. Only when he saw the other's frightened expression did he loosen his grip.

Dai'an was still in shock, and he swallowed his saliva and answered, "Just a few days before the captain returned to the city, a few people from the capital came to find the boss, and the boss handed the whore Pan to them."

"Someone from the capital? Who is it?"

"The boss didn't tell me, and even the mistress doesn't know, so I don't know..."

When Dai'an finished speaking, his eyes were full of pleading, but Wu Song was secretly speculating.

Was she sold to a brothel? That was where prostitutes ended up.

Not far away, Yang Chang was squatting on the ground picking up a corpse, and a prompt suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Obtain drug inhibitors, which can improve drug resistance after use. Please choose to use or discard. 】

Drug inhibitors? Drug resistance?
What is this thing? Yang Chang was worried that Wu Song would get suspicious, so he thought it would be harmless if it dropped, so he immediately chose to use it.

Immediately, a warm current originated from the center of the eyebrows and instantly covered the whole body.

It feels the same as the power of a tiger, but not as strong as the power blessing.

Before Yang Chang could check the interpretation, new hints appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Obtain a basic level of gun and stick proficiency. Use it to improve the gun and stick's ability. Please choose to use it or discard it. ]

use.

Although the word "proficient" is not high-end, it is a drop that increases martial arts, which is exactly what Yang Chang lacks now. After using it, it feels the same as [Noodle Mastery], except that a lot of things are added to the memory, unlike [Power of a Tiger] and [Drug Inhibitor] which cover the whole body.

[Obtain the corpse's obsession. After using it, you can learn the biggest secret of this corpse before its death. Please choose to use it or discard it. ]

There's a third one dropped?
Yang Chang chose to use it, and prompts from his sea of ​​consciousness came as he thought.

[Why did Yang Jian send his father-in-law? He still doesn't like me, right? It seems I have to go through Zhai Qian's way and get close to Cai Jing to ask for an official position as soon as possible. Then I will be the king of Yanggu County! ]

Huh? Ximen Qing wanted to be an official? I thought he only had women in his mind.
"Sanlang, is the person dead?"

"Ah? Dead."

When Yang Chang heard the call from behind, he stood up with a start, turned around and found Wu Song coming to his side.

"I've finished my questions. You should take him to see Eun Sang."

"okay."

Wu Song handed Dai'an to Yang Chang, squatted down, drew his sword and cut off his head, shocking Dai'an into unconsciousness.

"Hey"

Yang Chang hurriedly supported Dai'an, but when he saw the bloody scene, his stomach suddenly churned.

"Sanlang, this is your first time seeing this? I want to use it as a sacrifice to my brother."

Wu Song squatted down again, stripped off Ximen Qing's coat and wrapped the head, and said to Yang Chang who was still preparing himself: "It seems that Sanlang has never seen an execution. Every year in the state, some heads are chopped off. In fact, people are no different from animals. Think about the hunter who died on Jingyang Ridge. Let's go."

"Eh"

Yang Chang led Dai'an forward. He was in a daze all the way and even forgot to click on his forehead to check his attributes.

Is this the world of martial arts?
Is this Water Margin?
Is this the ancient times?
