Chapter 45 Fourth Fifteenth Chapter Initial Display of Divine Ability (4)

  Jia Chunzi's hand still didn't loosen, grasping the corpse's wrist, and with one swing, he lifted the corpse up like a giant hammer, swinging it around, fresh blood splashing everywhere, instantly creating a bloody scene.

  Jia Chunzi waved the corpse, creating a strong gust of wind, and forced back those who were rushing over, making it impossible for them to get close. Jia Chunzi shouted: "So much blood! It's stained my clothes!" With another swing, he tossed the corpse out, which flew straight towards the giant pit, hitting the edge before rolling and falling in.

  The crowd rushed up again and confronted Jia Chunzi, all looking for an opportunity, but none dared to rush forward for the time being.

  Jia Chunzi strode forward with large strides, his tall and sturdy figure moving nimbly as he charged into the crowd. Someone couldn't help but rush over from the side and stab a knife towards Jia Chunzi's waist.

  Jia Chunzi grasped the man's elbow, preventing the knife from stabbing him. With his other large hand, he clamped down on the man's shoulder and with a few swift slaps, the man was twisted into a human-shaped pretzel, letting out a loud cry before passing out from pain. Jia Chunzi grabbed the man's waistband and tucked it under his armpit, then took off in large strides, running out of the crowd. With one swift motion, he tossed the man into the massive pit as well.

  Everyone was stunned, but Jia Chunzi ran back again, stretching out his big hands to grab people. Zheng Dakuan saw that this was definitely not a good idea and shouted: "Get away from him! Listen to my orders!" The crowd heard Zheng Dakuan's orders and jumped back several steps, no longer confronting Jia Chunzi in battle.

  Jia Chunzi was agile, but still couldn't catch up with the swift legs of these errand runners. She rushed forward and backward, unable to grab one, and angrily shouted: "You're cheating! Hiding from people and running away is not what a good man does!"

  Zheng Daquan stood outside the circle, cursing: "Fool! You killed my two brothers! Today you're done for! I'll catch you and dig out your heart and liver to offer to my brothers' spirits! Let's see how long you can run!" Zheng Daquan pointed at Qian Zhanggui again, "Qian old thief, your partner is indeed formidable, but I've already found the weakness. Today we'll fight to the death, even if it costs me all our lives, I'll take your dog head!"

  Zheng Dakuan had experienced many days of bloody battles, and upon seeing Jia Chunzi's movements, he quickly understood that Jia Chunzi and Jia Qingzi were two formidable opponents with boundless strength. In close combat, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand for the time being. However, in terms of speed and endurance, they were not particularly impressive. Zheng Dakuan had made up his mind to circle around them, avoiding direct confrontation, and wait until their energy was depleted before striking the final blow.

  Jia Qingzi sharpened his knife and shouted loudly: "Younger brother, I'm here to help you!" He was about to rush up.

  Qian Zhanggui's hand swept horizontally, and he said in a low voice: "Jia Qingzi, don't go!"

  Qian Zhanggui, like Zheng Dakuan, had experienced many ups and downs. Seeing that Zheng Dakuan was no longer confronting them head-on, he guessed that Zheng Dakuan had already thought of a way to deal with them. His mind racing, he came up with another plan.

  Qian Zhanggui shouted to Zheng Dakuan: "Zheng Dakuan, I know you and your brother are brave men who are not afraid of death! But today is not the right time, what I want to deal with is not you, but those people staying in the hotel!"

  "Zhang Dahe roared: 'Qian Laozei, stop your nonsense! You owe me my brother's life!'"

  Qian Zhanggui said: "Zheng Dakuan, calm down! Listen to me for a moment, it's not too late to fight again! Don't you want to know what's going on here?"

  "Damn you, stop messing around!"

  Zheng Daquan seemed to be thinking deeply, his facial muscles twitched, and he shouted: "Qian Laozei"

  "Ah! You said!"

  "Alright! Zheng Dakuan, listen up, I'll tell you a secret! Ten years ago, the Subterranean Dragon sect suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving behind many rumors in Jianghu. It was because we didn't watch our step and provoked Zhang Siye, who then captured us. My brother, the Subterranean Dragon, sacrificed his own life to save mine! From then on, I became Zhang Siye's underling, hiding my identity and guarding this giant pit array! You can kill me if you want, but if you offend Zhang Siye, think about the consequences yourself! The reason I activated the giant pit array is that the people staying in the inn are the ones Zhang Siye wants to capture! Zhang Siye said that whoever finds their whereabouts will be rewarded with 3,000 silver coins, and if they're caught alive, the reward will be 100,000 silver coins! Right now, four of them are trapped in the pit and won't be able to escape for a while. There are still two more whose whereabouts are unknown, so we need to go down into the pit to look! This deal, do you want to take it or not? If you do, let's temporarily hold off and not let anyone escape in the chaos! Whether or not we catch them, we'll split the reward 50/50. What do you say? If you don't agree, we'll fight to the death and let the fish swim away!"

  Zhao Yanqiang was taken aback and whispered in Zheng Dachuan's ear: "That's exactly what Zhang Siye said in his letter!"

  Zheng Dakuan snorted and ignored Zhao Yanguan, calling out to Qian Zhanggui: "Qian the old thief! Why did I trust you? How did you know?"

  Qian Zhanggui pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and waved it in his hand: "I have the flying pigeon letter as proof! This fallen horse inn is actually one of Zhang Sanye's flying pigeon postal stations! It's just that no one knows about it! If you don't believe me, take a look!"

  "Throw it over!"

  Qian Zhanggui raised his hand and tossed the note aside, not far from him.

  Zheng Dakuan poked Zhao Yanguo: "Pick it up for me!"

  Zhao said reading is all about thoroughness

  Yan Gun hesitated for a moment, and Zheng Daquan scolded: "I told you to go, didn't you say that this old thief was telling the truth?"

  Zhao Yanguan composed himself and ran quickly over, picked up the paper from the ground, and ran back swiftly, handing the paper to Zheng Dachuan.

  Zheng Dakuan unfolded the note and examined it carefully, furrowing his brow. He muttered to himself: "As I expected! Four people with Longxi accents! Weren't they those few surnamed Yan from just now?"

  Zheng Daquan put away the note and shouted: "Qian Laozei! I'll trust you this time, but if we cooperate, the money can't be split in half. I want 70%! You just got two of my brothers killed, one brother is worth 10%!"

  Qian Zhanggui smiled and said: "Money is not a big deal for me."

  "If we can get things done for Zhang Siye and return me to freedom, that's the real deal! Seven out of ten is seven out of ten! Let's make a deal!"

  Zhao Yanqiang whispered in Zheng Dachuan's ear: "When we catch people, first of all, let's get rid of them!"

  Zheng Daquan didn't move, and said: "Do you need to say this? If we catch them, I'll be the first to take their lives! The people from Liu Xing Dao will also return before tonight! By then, our troops will be assembled, and we'll have seven or eight quick guns! It would be strange if we can't kill them!"

  Zhao Yan's face lit up with excitement as he said, "Indeed! Zheng Lao Da is wise, now is not the time to compare strengths with them!"

  "Alright! It's settled then! A word is a word! But, Old Moneybags, if you dare to play any tricks, I'm not someone to be trifled with! Brothers, put away your weapons for now and listen to my orders!"

  Qian Zhanggui smiled slightly and also called out: "Jia Chunzi, come back! Don't fight anymore!"

  Jia Chunzi scratched his head and said in confusion: "Qian Lao Da, it's not over yet!"

  Both sides retreated and regrouped. Qian Zhanggui and Zheng Dakuan walked out separately, exchanged a lukewarm handshake, and temporarily made amends.

  Qian Zhanggui said: "Zheng Dakuan, let's discuss this over here!"

  "Good! Please!"

  The two walked shoulder to shoulder towards a woodshed at the far edge of the Fallen Horse Inn that had yet to sink into the ground.

  Shuiyao'er and Huoxiao Xie were lying on a hillside. Huoxiao Xie cursed, "Why didn't you fight? Did you make up?"

  "The Water Demoness said: 'I'm afraid they have already joined forces and are coming after us two.'"

  "What a pity! I thought they would bite each other and both get hurt."

  "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food. There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies. This is the way of Jianghu."

  Huo Xiao's expression changed slightly as he said, "In that case, I'd rather not be in Jianghu."

  "Rivers and lakes, in people's hearts... unless you don't have a heart..."
