144, muskets and martial arts, no one can stand it!
After riding a horse for a day, have you already entered the territory of Yunya County?
Shen Lang was murmuring in his heart. He took a look at this team of agents and saw that there were eight of them. They were all wearing official agent uniforms, with agent badges hanging on their belts. Each of them had a short musket with eight black muzzles.
They all pointed at themselves.
The hostility of the agents was certainly very high.
By the way, in their capacity as police officers, when they heard the sound of gunshots and rushed over, they saw several corpses lying scattered in the lobby of the inn, with only one person standing. Naturally, they would be hostile to the only person standing.
But, is the reason for the police officers' hostility really due to their suspicion that Shen Lang is a murderer?
"Do you know? I once worked as a police officer in Changsheng County for a while. I am also a thoughtful person, so I inquired about some news related to the yamen."
Shen Lang looked at the eight detectives, ignoring the eight short muskets pointed at him, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth with a sarcastic smile:
"So I know that among the counties under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou Prefecture, even in the richest coastal counties of Chenghai and Ningkang, there are only four official police officers in the county government.
"Besides the four full-time police officers, the others are just government servants without the imperial government's establishment. When every full-time police officer goes out to handle affairs, there will be at least one or two people, as many as four or five people, and he will always bring some government officials with him.
, Bai Cha started.
"You gathered eight so-called full-time police officers from Yunya County in one breath, and you didn't even bring a single official or official...do you really think I'm a fool?"
After hearing his words, the faces of the "Yunya County agents" suddenly changed slightly, and a bearded agent laughed ferociously:
"You are worthy of being a minion of Shenhuatang. You have indeed learned a bit of Shenhuatang's shrewdness! But you are good at killing people with muskets. Have you ever thought that one day you will be killed by muskets? Fire!"
Bang bang bang...
With an order, eight muskets fired almost simultaneously, but at the same time as the gunfire sounded, the bearded policeman's expression suddenly changed, he quickly dropped his flintlock pistol, pulled out his waist knife, and screamed:
"Be careful, he has..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure was seen covering his eyes with his hands, carrying several bullet holes on his chest and abdomen that did not show any blood, rudely breaking through the smoke that filled the air in front of the policemen, and crashed into the group of policemen with a heavy momentum.
A shoulder collision, the iron shoulder hit a policeman in the chest.
winter!
There was a dull impact and crisp cracking of bones at the same time. The agent's chest collapsed, blood spurted from his mouth, and he fell out. He died before he even hit the ground.
At the same time, the bearded policeman roared angrily and slashed Shen Lang's back with his sword. Another policeman slashed across Shen Lang's waist with his sword.
Shen Lang did not dodge or dodge, and allowed the two knives to hit his back, waist and ribs. With the sound of cracking silk, he stepped on the floor and charged diagonally towards a retreating policeman.
The catcher saw that Shen Lang was as fast as a gust of wind and was coming with menacing force. He could not retreat in time, so he could only grit his teeth and swing his knife, and with a sudden arc of light, it struck Shen Lang in front of him.
Shen Lang did not dodge or evade, but raised his left hand to block. When the blade struck his palm, his five fingers moved together violently, and he grabbed the steel knife with a clang.
At the same time, he held the low wind roar like a tiger's roar with his right paw, grabbed the catcher's throat with one claw, and used force to tear it apart, tearing the catcher's throat into pieces of flesh and blood, tearing all the trachea and blood vessels, and blood flew flying.
Like water mist coming out of a high-pressure faucet.
While scratching the catcher's throat, Shen Lang was stabbed once more on the back and shoulder. The outer clothes burst open, revealing the undamaged soft armor underneath.
And there was only a shallow blood mark on the palm of his left hand where he had received a knife, which was just a cut of the skin.
The wound was slightly numb, and the blade was poisoned. However, he had the ability to resist poison at the first level of "Vitality Enhancement" and was not afraid of all ordinary poisons. And these ordinary killers pretending to be police officers obviously cannot have "extraordinary" abilities.
poison.
Having said that, if the killer's knife was smeared with "extraordinary" poison that he couldn't bear, Shen Lang wouldn't have been able to take the knife with his bare hands.
After advancing to the third level of the Demon Taming Technique, Shen Lang's perception of "hostile gaze" not only became farther, but his judgment of the threat level also became more accurate.
When attacking at close range, he can basically predict whether the blow will pose a fatal threat to him.
When he was locked by eight muskets before, Shen Lang felt a slight discomfort in his eyes, but had no other inkling of being threatened. Obviously, the eight muskets could not penetrate his layers of armor, and there was no armor to cover his body.
The protected face and limbs cannot be threatened, and only the fragile eyes and throat, which are only protected by skin, are afraid of damage.
Therefore, he dared to face the volley of eight guns directly. He only covered his eyes with his palms and buried his head with his chin to cover his throat, and then launched a brazen attack.
At this moment, Shen Lang held up the steel knife and slashed wildly, killing two people in a row. Then he turned around quickly, and a heavy pistol with an open hammer appeared out of thin air in his hands. He stretched out his arms, and the muzzle of the gun almost hit two people.
He swung the knife into the face of the policeman in front of him.
The two detectives were about to swing their knives when they were suddenly struck in the face by the muzzle of a gun. Their swinging movements froze immediately. Before they could make any reaction, Shen Lang ruthlessly pulled the trigger. Peng Peng fired two shots, lifting their skulls.
open.
After knocking over the two men, Shen Lang turned his wrist, and the two guns disappeared out of thin air. A flash of sword flashed sideways towards his neck. Just as he was about to continue taking action, a short musket was aimed at his forehead.
It was the bearded policeman. He carried two short muskets. At this moment, he finally saw the opportunity and pointed the second gun at Shen Lang's forehead, and said with a sinister smile:
"Wearing soft armor, you are not afraid of knives and bullets. It's amazing! But I really want to know if your head can also stop bullets!"
"It's a pity that within seven steps, the punch is fast!"
Shen Lang smiled, put strength on his feet, and rushed towards the muzzle of the gun.
Peng!
"Hurry up, mother!"
The bearded policeman roared and pulled the trigger. The smoke and sparks from the gun's muzzle directly hit Shen Lang's face, and the bullet hit Shen Lang squarely between the eyebrows.
Although the enhanced defense power of the second-level skin is comparable to that of iron armor, and it has the ability to relieve force, the iron armor cannot withstand the close range shooting of muskets. At this time, Chi Chi was so close that he shot Shen Lang almost directly in the forehead.
The skin on my forehead burst into tears immediately.
Unfortunately, there are still bones under the skin.
After Shen Lang's second-level bone strengthening, the frontal bone was as tough as fine steel. The lead bullet, whose power was reduced by half due to the second-level skin defense, hit the frontal bone and was flattened and bounced away.
Shen Lang, who was charging forward, ignored the impact of the close-range bombardment of the musket and without even tilting his head back, he threw himself directly into the arms of the bearded policeman. With a lightning-like swing of his tiger claws, he opened the beard with a pop.
Hu catches his throat quickly.
Then, without even looking at him, he leaned into the arms of another policeman who was shocked by the bullet in his head and turned pale. First, he elbowed him in the heart while the policeman was bending over in severe pain.
, he took advantage of the situation and grabbed his throat with his claws, then used all his strength to tear it apart, killing another person.
In the blink of an eye, only two of the eight detectives were left.
The remaining two people had lost all fighting spirit and turned around to run away, but Shen Lang raised his hand to grab it again, and two flintlock rifles appeared out of thin air in his hands - the arms reserves in Shen Lang's space after taking King Shark Island.
But there are quite a few.
With the convenience of accessing items in the Dian Jing Pen space, when necessary, he can even use the dozens of flintlock rifles stored in the space to unleash the continuous firepower of automatic rifles.
Shen Lang held a rifle in each hand, held the butt of the rifle under his ribs, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the agent's back, pulled the trigger, and made two bangs. The two agents immediately fell forward and struggled twice.
He died of anger.
At this point, all eight "catchers" were wiped out. Shen Lang was once again super powerful, and this time he didn't even use magic. He relied on a suit of armor and used muskets and martial arts to kill all the killers.
After putting away the two long muskets, Shen Lang took out a towel dipped in water and wiped his face.
It was a bit uncomfortable to be hit by gunpowder and sparks on my face just now.
Although I closed my eyes in time and was not injured, my nose felt very uncomfortable and my face turned into a big painted face.
As for the spot where he was shot in the forehead, the wound only bled a little.
After that, the powerful self-healing power endowed by the first-level "Vitality Enhancement" came into play, quickly stopping the bleeding. Although the wound had not yet scabbed, it was estimated that it would heal within one night at most, without even leaving a scar.
After wiping his face clean and blowing his nose vigorously to remove some gunpowder residue from his nostrils, Shen Lang began to clean the battlefield, first collecting all the short muskets and ammunition bags.
Although the short muskets held by these fake detectives are not as powerful as his two specially customized heavy pistols, even an ordinary fifth-level warrior will be seriously injured or even die if he is not careful and takes a few shots while naked.
.
Not to mention those below level 5, no matter how good their martial arts skills are, they will die with one shot if they hit the vital point.
After packing up his musket, Shen Lang searched the bodies of the eight fake detectives and found only a few dozen silver coins and a few ordinary poison packets. Other than that, there was nothing useful.
On the other hand, a portrait was found on the bearded policeman's body. Like the portraits found on the previous five killers, it was a sketch of Shen Lang.
"So, are these eight fake detectives working together? Are they just ordinary killers who have taken over Mrs. Zhao's orders? Their quality is far worse than those five killers. Most of them have only eighth-level martial arts, and only the beard has seventh-level.
Martial arts.”
Although this group of people is a little smart, they know how to disguise themselves as police officers and reasonably unleash their hostility against Shen Lang, the "murderer", but unfortunately they are not smart enough.
If it were Shen Lang, at most two people could pretend to be agents, and the rest could pretend to be government servants.
However, ordinary government officials are not allowed to carry guns at will.
I guess the beard is so that everyone can hold guns in a reasonable manner, so everyone is dressed as a police officer.
Unfortunately, it was missed that Shen Lang knew everything about the county government's establishment, and his flaws were revealed.
Shen Lang pondered for a while, then took off his coat that had been chopped into pieces, put on a new one to cover up his soft armor, picked up the package and walked out of the lobby, and went to the stable to fetch his black horse.
Yingzhou Prefecture is a "land of storms and heroes". In addition to the "Killer Guild" of the Blood Shadow Sect, there are also countless desperadoes who are paid with blood hidden in the secrets.
As long as they are willing to spend money, a lot of desperate criminals will take advantage of the situation.
So we definitely can't stay in this inn, otherwise God knows how many killers will come one after another.
There is no need to clean up the body.
If someone comes to the scene to conduct an autopsy to deduce his strength...
Oh, that would play into his heart.
Look at the sky, the sun has set. It's August now, and Yingzhou Prefecture is located in the southernmost part of Dachu. Although it's still hot in the middle of summer, the days are no longer as long as last month.
In half an hour at most, it will be completely dark.
In almost all stories, the killer likes the night.
But for Shen Lang, the night is also his natural ally.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, just the right time to kill people."
Shen Lang chuckled, got on his horse, rushed out of the inn fence, and continued galloping toward the northeast.
After a while, another group of people entered the inn.
These people seemed to have anticipated the situation in the inn and were not surprised by the corpses on the floor. As soon as they entered the door, they began to carefully search the dozen corpses lying in the lobby.
After examining the body, the leaders began to exchange opinions in low voices:
"Six seventh-grade, seven eighth-grade, and a peripheral shooter. Except for a swordsman named 'Xiao Hei' who is a novice who has just debuted, the others are experienced and ruthless with multiple lives in their hands.
A veteran. So many killers were killed by him alone... That kid is not only good at assassinations, he is also a good hand in head-to-head confrontations!"
"It's a pity that the killers died. Anyway, they were just cannon fodder to help us test his strength. But that boy's strength was indeed a bit beyond our expectations. Previously on King Shark Island, he followed Chen Yuniang blindly, and Mu Qingxue pretended to be a tiger.
I thought he could only do sneak attacks and assassinations, but I didn't expect that he actually has some real skills!"
"That's right. He didn't even use a sword this time. The cause of death of everyone was either gunshot wounds or claw wounds. And judging from the position of the corpses, the killers were once frightened by him and wanted to retreat, but they were all beaten by him.
Chase him to death. Judging from the distance from where the first batch of killers laid down their corpses, that kid’s Qinggong was incredibly strong, and even a seventh-level warrior couldn’t escape even a few steps.”
"He is a member of the Shen Cat Hall. Who in the Shen Cat Hall is not a light kung fu master who can chase good things? In addition, Zhang Wenbin, a shogunate of the Duke's Mansion, said that the boy read the secret book of 'Tiger Claw Kung Fu' and claimed to have a photographic memory."
. It seems that he has really learned the Tiger Claw Kung Fu. In such a short time, he has mastered the Tiger Claw Kung Fu to the point where he can kill people in actual combat. His martial arts talent cannot be underestimated!"
"A lot of lead bullets fell on the ground, and they were all squashed. It seems that the kid had been shot more than once, but none of them could hurt him..."
"Hmph, since he is the murderer of my brother, then my brother's soft armor must have been worn by him. Ordinary muskets cannot penetrate this armor."
"No, there is a bloody warhead here. You see, this is an ordinary warhead. It is different from the special weighted lead bullets used to kill the killers. It is the musket used by the killers. That boy was shot! Cross-hair soft armor
It can only protect the chest, abdomen, back, limbs, but there is no armor on the head. He must have been injured! It is very likely that he was shot in some part of the limbs!"
"Very good! If this happens, his strength will inevitably be damaged!"
"Don't be careless. There is a corpse outside. Judging from its wounds, it looks like it died from 'pointing and archery'."
"What? That kid also knows Taoism?"
"It's not surprising that he knows Taoism. He has spiritual talent. Although people with spiritual talent may not be able to learn spells. After all, spells are too difficult and obscure. Even if they are born with strong spiritual power, they may not have the wisdom to read spell books.
.But now that he has spiritual talent, he has the conditions to practice magic...so that kid has probably learned the magic!"
"Although he had not cast any other spells on King Shark Island before, he had summoned a red carp monster. Is this a spell or an innate ability?"
"It should be regarded as an innate ability. Summoning monsters is a seventh-grade Taoist skill. If he could learn a seventh-grade Taoist skill, wouldn't he have already learned a lot of ninth-grade and eighth-grade Taoist skills? Then on King Shark Island
, he should have shown his Taoist skills long ago. So he must have summoned the red carp monster with his innate ability. The 'Pointing Arrow Technique' is only the ninth level, and he has only used it now. He may have just learned this technique."
"The average talent of the princes of the Imperial City Taoist Academy is to master a ninth-level Taoist skill in one month. That kid didn't know how to point and arrow when he was on Shark King Island, but now he suddenly knows it. In terms of time, he has no time to master the ninth-level Taoist skill.
Two ninth-level Taoist skills - he can't be stronger than the Taoist geniuses, right? Therefore, the 'Pointing and Arrow Technique' should be his only Taoist skill. Although this technique is very powerful, it cannot track and lock the enemy.
If you take precautions in advance, the threat will be small.”
"You are practicing martial arts and practicing law, and you are actually trying to cultivate both law and martial arts. Is this too much? Doesn't he know that after the inner strength realm of martial arts, you have to spend a lot of time just meditating and cultivating your inner strength every day? If you practice law, you won't have time to cultivate your inner strength.
He has no time to study spells because of his internal strength... This kid really doesn't know what the world is! Even if he is lucky enough to learn a spell now, he will be distracted in the future, and he will not be good at writing or martial arts! Of course, he will not have a future.
…”
"Based on the traces at the scene, we can almost judge his basic strength: swordsmanship, claw skills, marksmanship, pointing and archery, summoning monsters, and a piece of cross-woven soft armor that can block musket bullets."
"Now that we've almost figured out that kid's background, can we start hunting?"
"Don't worry. This guy is rich in skills, alert, ruthless, and very difficult to deal with. He should be an assassin carefully cultivated by Mu Qingxue to do dirty work for her. Maybe there is Mu Qingxue in him.
It’s a life-saving treasure that can be rewarded. So we have to let those desperadoes who work for money test it for a while. Find out more about him and use up more of his physical strength, energy, and trump cards!"
