When you first come to the black market, you will feel strange. After shopping for so long, the novelty has almost faded away.
Jiang Fa returned along the original route and spent about one hundred and eighty taels of silver on the way to buy three Azure Wood Elixir for cultivation.
This Azure Wood Elixir is very rare on the market. Its effect is similar to that of Blood Condensation Elixir, and it is of great benefit to the cultivation of An Jin warriors.
Jiang Fa is quite satisfied with this trip.
He walked back the way he came,
As soon as I reached the railing at the entrance to the black market, a black figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows on the right.
Jiang Fa At first glance, I mistakenly thought it was a robbery, and I almost couldn't help but push it over.
"Little brother."
The man had a sharp voice. "You bought a lot of things, didn't you? Do you need to hire an escort to take them back? It's such a cold weather and the road is not smooth."
This man was a thin man, wearing a half-worn gray cloth bundt, and his face was covered with a dirty gray cloth, revealing only a pair of triangular eyes that rolled around.
"No need." Jiang Fa waved his hand and walked straight outside without stopping.
The thin man didn't stop him, he just looked at his back and smiled.
Jiang Fa When we came out of the entrance, the moon was already hanging high.
The skinny old man who looked after the door was already leaning against the bamboo shed and snoring.
There wasn't even a ghost outside.
He walked along the road he came from for half a tea hour, and the road ahead had already deviated from City God Temple. It was dark all around, with only the lights of a few houses in the distance flickering in the night.
Jiang Fa squinted his eyes, suddenly turned a corner and entered a narrow alley.
The alley is not deep, with abandoned adobe walls on both sides. The walls are covered with dead vines, and the ground is paved with broken bricks and tiles.
At the end of the alley was a half-collapsed brick wall. Moonlight leaked in from behind the wall, spreading a cold white color on the ground.
He walked to the middle of the alley and suddenly stopped.
"Aren't you tired after following me this far?"
Jiang Fa slowly turned around, and the moonlight shone on the black cloth covering his face, like a layer of white frost.
At the entrance of the alley, two figures blocked the street, one on the left and the other on the right.
The short and fat man held a short knife in his hand, the blade glowing coldly in the moonlight.
The tall and thin man had his hands free and his sleeves rolled up high, revealing two forearms knotted with veins. This man was the man who asked him if he needed to be escorted earlier.
"Boy, if you know the truth, hand over everything you have on you."
The short and fat man laughed strangely and licked his lips, "We don't want much. We will keep all the elixirs and exercises you just bought, as well as the money on your body. We will only break off two of your legs and save your life."
"It's quite authentic."
Jiang Fa smiled, and the hand under the cloak slowly grasped the handle of the knife. "Is it okay to just break one leg?"
"What, is that too much?"
The tall and thin man answered in a sinister tone, "If you don't understand, we can cut off two more of your arms. It's the same thing anyway."
Jiang Fa shook his head and sighed softly, "So there's nothing to talk about?"
With his current perception, he didn't walk very far when he noticed two more tails behind him.
Maybe it's because he has practiced Origin-Returning Breath-Concealing Art, and his aura is restrained, and most people can't tell his depth at all.
The two people in front of him obviously regarded him as a fat sheep for anyone to manipulate.
He doesn't want to talk nonsense to this kind of person.
He kicked his feet violently, and his body shot out like an arrow from a string. The moment Wind-Chasing Steps was pushed to the extreme, his whole body almost turned into an afterimage.
The pudgy man's pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could even lift the dagger, Jiang Fa was already in front of him.
One punch.
A punch that was as powerful as thunder hit the blade of the short sword.
Bang!
The short knife broke apart with a sound, and half of the blade flew out in a spin, and plunged into the earth wall on the right side of the alley with a pop, until the handle was submerged.
The short and fat man only felt that his arm was penetrated by an extremely terrifying force. The tiger's mouth instantly collapsed, his five fingers lost all feeling, and his entire right arm hung down limply.
He opened his mouth, wanting to scream.
But Jiang Fa's knees were already pushing up.
This knee hit his soft abdomen hard, making a dull sound like a drum.
The short, fat man's eyes suddenly bulged out, and a mouthful of acid water mixed with blood spurted out from his throat.
The whole person looked like a fish maw that had been stepped on and exploded. It curled up and flew backwards, hitting the earth wall hard. The half-meter-thick wall was completely dented by the man's impact.
He collapsed under the wall, twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, and soon became silent.
It's just a breath before and after.
Before the tall, thin man who was practicing boxing could even take action, his companion was already dead.
He froze on the spot, his feet seemed to be frozen, and the fist wrapped in black cloth continued to swing out.
But the slight trembling from his fist revealed the fear deep inside his heart.
"Brother... brother..."
He took a step back,
"This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
Jiang Fa slowly turned around, faced him, and walked closer step by step.
"Misunderstanding?"
Jiang Fa's voice came from behind the black cloth, and it was extremely cold.
"Now you know it was a misunderstanding?"
"I... I..."
The tall and thin man's throat rolled up and down, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
It's not like he hasn't seen ruthless people before. There are many murderers in the black market who kill without batting an eye, but those people are extremely ruthless, and at least they can see the depth.
He couldn't see through the person in front of him.
From the moment the opponent took action, he knew he had hit a brick wall.
No, I hit the iron wall.
Fatty is a master of Early An Jin, but he can't even stand up to the person in front of him.
I am not much better than the fat man...
"Brother, I was wrong, I will make amends to you... I will give you money! Yes, I have money on me!"
As he spoke, he stepped back and touched the money bag in his arms with trembling hands.
"It's all because of our ignorance that we have offended you. Just spare my life and treat me like a piece of shit. I will... I will give you all my money..."
"You didn't know you were wrong, you knew you were going to die..."
Jiang Fa stood three steps away from him, his eyes calm.
The tall and lanky man felt his scalp numb at the sight of him, his knees softened, and he knelt down directly.
"Master! Master! Grandpa! Please spare my life! We are also working for others, and we do not mean to harm you!"
"For whom?"
Jiang Fa's tone is dull, and there is no hint of emotion or anger.
"Black...Black Tiger Gang..."
The tall and thin man stuttered out these three words, his head still banging on the ground. "Master Hu asked us brothers to pick strangers like you to target, especially those like you who have bought a lot of things. If you can rob as much as you can, if you can't rob..."
"Just what?"
The tall and thin man shuddered, and his voice trembled even more. "Just... just did it, and threw the body into the dry well behind the mass grave without anyone noticing..."
There was a brief moment of dead silence in the alley.
The night wind blew from the direction of the mass graves, carrying a rotten stench.
Jiang Fa lowered his head, half of his face covered by black cloth, only revealing his eyes that were particularly deep in the moonlight.
Jiang Fa slowly squatted down and said in a calm voice, "How many people have you harmed this year?"
The tall and thin man raised his head, his face full of snot and tears, his eyes full of desire for survival. "I can't remember..."
Jiang Fa stood up and looked at him condescendingly, the coldness in his eyes almost solidifying.
"You guys, since this is not the first time you have done this kind of thing."
"Then those people who died in your hands before also begged you for mercy?"
The tall and thin man was shaken all over, and the blood on his face faded cleanly.
"You... how can you compare to those people... they're just..."
"Just what?"
Jiang Fa's voice suddenly became cold and harsh.
"Just what? A cheap life? Or an ant?"
The tall and thin man opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"Rao..."
The word was still stuck in my throat, but Jiang Fa's fist had already arrived.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Fa's fist was as fast as a silent lightning.
"I told you if I could leave you a leg, but if you insist on leaving me a life, you are so nice..."
A muffled groan sounded from the darkness, and the tall and thin man was punched directly into his entire chest, without any resistance.
Jiang Fa closed his fist and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Looking at the mess in front of me,
He carefully erased all traces of the scene and groped for a while on the two dead bodies.
After a few seconds,
He looked at the more than ten taels of silver in his hand,
He couldn't help but spit on the ground.
"Bah, poor guy!"
Under the moonlight, intermittent barking sounds were heard not far away.
His heart trembled and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he turned around and left quickly.
After walking for more than ten steps, he seemed to remember something again. As he walked, he muttered, "The dead are the most important, the dead are the most important. It doesn't seem good for me to be like this..."
The wind in the mass grave became stronger, blowing whiningly and rolling up the dead leaves and dust on the ground, like countless ghosts whimpering in the darkness.
The bell of City God Temple struck several times.
The night was as dark as a broken pot covered in ashes.
