The outline was very vague, just an oval formed by a few thin black lines mixed together, and the shape of a human could barely be seen. According to the location analysis, this person was in the alley outside a single-family house, close to the white
wall.
Passerby? Drunkard? Or...
Ka Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, and the four senses that had been temporarily blocked came back instantly, and the whole world became three-dimensional.
He stood up and walked to the glass and opened the window.
He didn't turn on the light, he just stuck his head out in the darkness and looked down, looking in the direction he heard just now.
There was a patch of green ornamental trees blocking the fence, and the human silhouette that Ka Xiu perceived was just behind the root of the fence.
His eyes moved slightly, he lightly pressed the window edge with one hand, and jumped directly from the second floor window. There was no sound when his toes hit the ground, not even the sound of a normal person walking.
Only the cold wind rustled the leaves all around.
Card Xiu walked over step by step, gradually approaching the wall on the north side of the single-family house, and the shadow of the tree completely covered him.
Without any hesitation, Kaxiu climbed over the wall quietly.
His eyes happened to meet the red pupils looking up, and a flash of astonishment suddenly flashed in both of their eyes.
because……
The human being in front of him is actually a red-eyed demonic figure who was locked up in the basement by Ka Xiu and escaped. He is simply out of touch with the world!
This guy ran away? And then came back?!
Ka Xiu raised his eyebrows and felt like laughing inexplicably. He knew that some criminal suspects would return to the scene of the crime to admire their masterpieces, but he had never heard of a fugitive escaping from prison and then returning to the prison to visit. Isn't that a bit strange?
Too stupid?
Or does the demon shadow have anything to rely on? It confidently leads a group of companions to besiege itself and make itself pay the price.
He immediately took a quick glance around. The alleyway seemed slightly dim, the moonlight was thin, and there was no sign of anyone else.
???
So... who gave you the courage to come back?
Card Xiu turned his head again and looked at the demonic shadow that seemed to be frightened to the spot. The pupils of this red-eyed demonic shadow were constricted, as if it had a stress disorder, and its claws could not stop trembling.
It's like having Parkinson's disease.
Under normal conditions, the demon shadows are all bloodthirsty and ferocious beasts. Their powerful life essence can even scare humans to the point of being slaughtered by them. But now the situation is reversed, and the card repairman suddenly appears.
Giving the red-eyed demonic shadow an unprecedented fright, it was like seeing a natural enemy.
That's because Ka Xiu showed a more terrifying and violent form than the demon when they were chasing and fighting that night. And he inflicted unimaginable torture in the basement afterwards.
As a punching bag, he was tortured with ruthless iron hands to extract confessions. Each humiliating slap had completely shattered the demon's self-esteem.
After it was rescued, it took two or three days of continuous rest before it recovered. It chose to approach the single-family house that gave it nightmares again tonight in order to overcome its psychological barrier.
By the way, let's find out about that man.
As a result, I didn’t expect...
On the street, Ka Xiu smiled indifferently. He had guessed a little bit about the intention of the red-eyed demonic shadow to come back. Even if he hadn't happened to be practicing the secret technique of the mind's eye, he blocked other senses and greatly improved his hearing, thus sensing the demonic shadow.
He won't notice the demonic shadow coming back again.
It can only be said to be quite a coincidence.
An expression that was half a smile appeared on Ka Xiu's face, and a ferocious aura erupted from his body as he walked over step by step.
"ah!"
The red-eyed demon screamed, waking up as if from a dream. This tall, strong, brown-haired man was like a child awakened from a nightmare, with a panicked expression on his pale face.
He quickly turned sideways, his feet were like springs, and his whole body rushed into the darkness of the alley in an instant, like a bolt of lightning.
Its sudden burst of speed made Ka Xiu a little bit tongue-tied.
Sure enough, when faced with a crisis, whether it is humans, animals or anything else, their amazing potential will explode.
In less than a second, the brown-haired man had disappeared at the end of the alley. Ka Xiu did not feel any panic at all, and was calm and composed. What he wanted was to let the red-eyed demonic shadow escape.
The faster you run, the more panicked you are, and the louder the movement, the better.
When a fish stirs in the pond, there will always be other fish that are frightened out. Now that Ka Xiu’s strength is one level stronger than before going back, the martial arts master is now qualified to fish.
"what happened?"
Two figures turned over in the white wall, and they were the Magician and Catwoman. They were probably awakened by the cry of the red-eyed demon just now, so they were a little alert.
Among them, the magician was wearing his iconic black suit, and the buttons had not yet been closed. The open lining revealed dense pockets, and the pockets contained various metal hidden weapons and props.
Catwoman Haisa on the other side looked even more hasty, wearing only a set of underwear, revealing her curvy figure.
Her charming face, snow-white chest, and long burgundy wavy hair hanging on her shoulders are very sultry.
At least, a look of surprise flashed in the magician's eyes.
However, Card Xiu didn't pay too much attention. He just glanced at the two of them and left a message to go back and look after the house. Then he stamped his feet and turned into a black afterimage and rushed into the dark alley.
In place, Magician and Catwoman looked at each other. Finally, they collectively climbed in and returned to their respective bedrooms from the window position.
Because they... don't have the key.
The moon is sparse, the clouds are drifting, and only the faint moonlight shrouds the urban area of Shirakawa City. Although the place where Kashu's new residence is located is still within the city limits, it is far away from the central block. It is probably a few steps away along the main road.
There is a station 100 meters away.
In addition, there are some complicated alleyways. If you quickly shuttle through the alleyways, you can see scattered buildings and sparse dim lights at the windows. The red-eyed demon has become a half-human and half-dark creature, with almost full power.
open.
It can be clearly seen that he is different from humans. His two arms swell and extend, his ten fingers are thin and long, and the nails are like sharp white blades.
Every time the footsteps click on the ground, the body can leap five to six meters, like a black phantom.
And behind the red-eyed demonic shadow.
Another tall shadow was chasing after him leisurely.
It’s not that Ka Xiu looks down on the red-eyed demon shadow, but the fact is here. Even if he doesn’t practice speed-based secret martial arts, he can still be faster than the red-eyed demon shadow just by relying on his physical fitness. Ka Xiu only needs to think,
You can catch up with the shadow in front of you within five to ten seconds. Now it's just a matter of slowing down your pace and deliberately keeping a certain distance from the red-eyed demonic shadow.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, shuttled quickly between the alleys.
I do not know how long it has been.
The streets on both sides have undergone many changes. They are much older and lower than before, and the roads are deserted. At intervals, there is a black street lamp with a protruding metal frame similar to a candlestick on the upper edge of the street lamp, which is considered to be in a remote alley.
Ornaments.
This is already the edge of the city, and you can vaguely see the black mountain walls, grass and trees behind the buildings. All the houses have their doors and windows closed, and no light comes through.
"No fish took the bait?"
Ka Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and moved quickly.
Suddenly, on the balcony of the building on the right side of the lane.
A black figure fell silently, like a fish falling from a waterfall into a pool, its body fiercely pounced on Ka Xiu's back.
Whoosh!
Ka Xiu turned around suddenly and punched.
The fist directly penetrated the black figure's chest, rags and blood spurted out, and the shadow quickly flew back.
"Finally couldn't bear it anymore?"
Ka Xiu shook his arm and shook off the blood spots on his skin.
But unfortunately, only this one demonic figure appeared on the escape route. The other red-eyed demonic figures he expected did not appear, and the brown-haired man in front just ran away.
It seems that there is no intention to return to the base camp to seek help from other demon shadows. Does the demon shadow also care about friendship? Pay attention to the interests of the group?
"That's all, put away the bait first."
As soon as Kaxiu stepped forward, the ground trembled. His whole body flew out like an arrow from the string, and three or two of them flew behind him.
He was less than five meters away from the brown-haired man.
Bang!
The red-eyed demon had almost no room for resistance. His vest was hit directly by a punch, and blood spurted out of his mouth. He stumbled to the ground and slid five or six meters on the ground.
He raised his arms to get up, but a strange force coursed through his body, destroying the coordination and balance of force.
The brown-haired man's wrist trembled and his strength was exhausted.
This is the Midak Balance Destruction Technique...
Ka Xiu has been using it for a while.
A red-eyed demonic shadow is equivalent to a weakened version of a boxer.
Its life essence is probably much stronger than that of new humans.
It is perfect for use as a sacrifice for the magic water ritual.
Just as he started to take steps, he suddenly stopped. His sharp, slightly red eyes glanced towards the left alleyway, where there was a shadow.
Bang.
Suddenly there was a deep footprint on the cement road.
Card Xiu flew tens of meters away in an instant and smashed into the alleyway like a cannonball. A ball of white air spun at high speed.
Hiss!
The hand knife that drew a white line in the air slashed violently on the wall, causing an explosion. The rubble on the wall was directly bounced off by the hand knife, hitting the surrounding areas like bullets.
There was a crashing sound.
Phew~
More than a dozen pieces of gravel shot out and exploded in the air with the fist and palm, leaving a layer of oval-shaped fuzzy black balls suspended in the air.
That was the visual confusion caused by waving his hands very fast.
"laugh!"
In the elliptical sphere, a black arm suddenly came over and dug hard into Ka Xiu's shoulder like an awl.
boom!
The sound of armor clashing came from where the fists and skin hit each other.
Ka Xiu's left arm was slightly numb, and he felt a force that moved dexterously through the skin and muscles, and directly penetrated into his joints. Although the effort was wiped out in one fell swoop, strictly speaking, Ka Xiu was still there
He was injured by this punch.
"What a powerful hard Qigong!"
In the shadows, there was also a cry of surprise.
The dust and fog dissipated, and a black-haired man in his thirties was revealed. He had an ordinary face and looked no different from a passerby. He wore an ornament on his neck, which seemed to be an emerald strung with red threads. His clothes were in complete sets.
The yellow clothing has many pockets on the surface, like an explorer style.
"You are very good, you can actually hurt me through the defense of hard qigong." Card Xiu never hesitates to praise the strong: "That force is very special, what is its name?"
"Rui Feng Jin is a technique I acquired accidentally. It can give the fist a unique penetrating power."
The dark-haired man opposite said it calmly.
"Hehehe." Kaxiu smiled inexplicably: "It's disrespectful to come back without reciprocating. Since you just punched me, then take the punch I gave you in return. The blue wind air flow is like Mingyin!
"
For a moment, a cloud of white air enveloped Kaxiu's entire arm. His entire body stepped forward and assumed a standard fighting posture. His shoulders were slightly swayed, and a force was brewing and flowing.
The muscle knots are bulging, glowing white. Hot blood surges rapidly in the thick veins, and power is transmitted to the arm.
Step forward suddenly and punch!
call……
The high-speed straight fist propelled rapidly in mid-air, and a circle of white airflow seemed to form an arc-shaped cover on the surface of the fist.
There seemed to be an elephant roaring in the air. It was the violent noise caused by the arm cutting through the air.
"boom!"
This fist directly pierced the chest of the black-haired man, and even hit the wall behind him fiercely. The ground suddenly shook, and half of the gray wall collapsed directly.
Dust flew up.
The wall collapsed with one blow, but there was no expression of joy on Ka Xiu's face. Because the force of the punch just now was too light, it was like the blow passed through the air and hit the wall directly.
"Very powerful, with astonishing destructive power."
Suddenly, a voice came from the side of Ka Xiu.
"really!"
Ka Xiu suddenly turned around and punched again, twisting his feet and waist at the same time, causing his right arm to be thrown out like a whip.
Bang!
He could feel the blocking force coming from his fist, which was very light, like a dragonfly touching water. But the black-haired man disappeared again, leaving only an afterimage in place.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Card Xiu said slowly.
"You are too strong, I dare not confront you head-on."
To the right, a familiar voice came again.
"What kind of movement is this? I've never seen it before." Ka Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, no longer testing.
"Pendulum pace, or Richard's pendulum swing."
The black-haired man responded.
Card Xiu turned around and looked at the man more than ten meters away: "Feng Xiangmen, Card Xiu, which school are you a master of?"
"School?" The dark-haired man had a puzzled expression on his face.
"No, I'm just an explorer and treasure hunter."
"This skill is all acquired by accident. There is no master or school. Also, you can call me Yun."
"Yun?" Ka Xiu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Yun. I am not a member of the Red Alliance."
The black-haired man explained.
"..." Ka Xiu was about to speak but his mouth suddenly felt bitter. It was as if a piece of Coptis chinensis had been stuffed into his mouth at some point.
"This feeling……"
""Is it...an obsession with antiques?!"
