A person ran past the alley. When he spotted Kong Rou's figure, he stopped and changed direction.
The person who came was tall and thick-set, a gangster with a long scar on his face and a scimitar in his hand.
He walked towards Kongrou step by step, calling for people to come.
Soon, four or five evil-smiling men wearing the same style of clothes gathered around from both ends of the alley.
Kongrou held the black cloth package and the medicine bag in her arms, retreated to one side of the wall, and looked at both sides with a panicked expression.
"Your old uncle took fifty spirit stones and sold you to Mr. Cai, and you still have the nerve to run away!" The back of the knife struck the palm of his hand, and the leading scarred man spat yellow phlegm to one side.
He continued: "Come back with us honestly and you will suffer less. Mr. Cai is tired of waiting. All we need is you, the last qualified furnace, to be in place."
Kong Rou felt aggrieved, because her uncle was obviously talking about borrowing money to save her grandfather, not selling herself.
Besides, she didn't receive the spiritual stone either.
Facing the gradually shrinking encirclement, she tried to rush out holding her things, but was immediately caught by one of them.
The man didn't care about the severity at all and grabbed her hair tightly, causing her pain and tears.
"This little girl is quite pretty, and she will be a little beauty in a few years." The man holding Kong Rou's hair smiled.
Someone took the call and said, "It's a pity that we don't have that chance anymore. None of the women Mr. Cai has played with has been able to survive."
Someone said with regret: "If not everyone would become skin and bones, we could just drink the tail soup."
The leading scarred man showed displeasure on his face and reprimanded the person who had just spoken: "This is the person Mr. Cai likes. You kid is impatient to live!"
Only then did the man realize that he had said something outrageous, so he quickly shut up and put away his lustful thoughts.
Taking advantage of their relaxation, Kong Rou broke away and retreated back to the wall.
Wary of these people, she bravely said: "I will return the fifty spirit stones to you and let me go."
As soon as these words came out, several people burst into laughter.
"Where did you get fifty spiritual stones? I advise you to accept your fate!"
"I have it, I have the spirit stone." As she said that, Kongrou opened the black cloth package and showed it to them.
Several people's eyes were immediately attracted, with surprise and doubt flashing across their faces.
But soon greed took over.
"How can you have so many spiritual stones? They must have been stolen!"
One person stepped forward and grabbed the package by force, took out the two packets of medicine that came with it, and threw them aside like garbage.
Kong Rou was anxious to retrieve it, but was grabbed back again.
These people didn't dare to touch other parts of her for fear of causing trouble, so they just grabbed her hair and used it as a restraint.
Kongrou fell to the ground and burst into tears.
With a cry in her voice, she asked these people: "I've given everything to you, isn't it enough?"
"You stole this from us, and now you deserve to give it back to us. If you come up with fifty more spiritual stones, we will let you go immediately, and there is no need to discuss it."
After one person said this, the others laughed and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, then take out the spirit stone."
One of them laughed sinisterly when he saw that Kongrou didn't answer, only stared anxiously at the medicine bag on the ground.
He walked over and trampled it to pieces, then kicked it away.
The medicinal materials were scattered and flying in the air, and then scattered all over the ground.
Kong Rou's pupils shrank, as if at this moment she had lost the original faint but persistent hope, and her eyes became dull.
The leading scarred man took the black cloth package in his hand and ordered one of his men to step forward and tie Kong Rou up with a rope.
At this moment, a flying sword fell from the sky.
The sword light passed by, and a bloody hole appeared in the heart of the man holding the rope, and he fell to the ground in despair.
"If you dare to steal the spiritual stone I gave you, you will die!"
He Gu hurried over and happened to see the change in the eyes of the little girl on the ground, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Less than half a quarter of an hour ago, this little girl named Kongrou was here happily expressing her gratitude to him.
At that time, he felt to some extent that he had influenced the little girl's life and gave her some hope of continuing to live a strong life.
After a while, these rubbish shattered both the hope he gave and the little girl’s original hope.
It’s really a crime worthy of death!
The flying sword killed one person without stopping. Under the control of its master, it turned around and continued to kill the second person approaching.
The leading scarred man was shocked.
Not only was the flying sword magic weapon surprised by this unusual thing, but also the spiritual aura fluctuations of the young man on the roof.
This kind of coercion is not much different from what he felt from Master Cai's fellow disciple.
"Three realms?"
The others wanted to kill this ungrateful brat, but when they heard what their boss said, they were so frightened that they dared not move.
"Escape separately!" The leading scarred man threw the black cloth package to the people next to him, turned around and ran away.
He is only near the peak of the first level, and several of his subordinates are below him. Some of them are not even in the first level. There is no thought of fighting.
Seeing the boss running away, the others suddenly dispersed.
The one targeted by the flying sword just took half a step and fell to the ground bleeding.
Now that the words have been released, He Gu naturally cannot let anyone go.
Kill three more people, leaving only the scarred man who ran earliest and fastest.
He Gu jumped from the roof, stepped on the flying sword and chased after him.
Although there are relatively few people in this old housing area, many people have discovered them.
They didn't care at first, since this kind of thing happens often.
Later, when they saw clearly the appearance of the person being chased, they started muttering and talking.
"Isn't that a member of the Wuming Gang?"
"It's the leader of the Wuming Gang, Liu Quan."
"The boy who is chasing him is young but very powerful!"
"Haha... I'm afraid this stupid young man doesn't know the backer behind the Wuming Gang. Mr. Cai will not let him go."
"I heard someone say that Mr. Cai's aunt thinks a lot of him. She is the wife of the master of Qingqing Peak, one of the seven peaks of Wuzong. She is not as cold-tempered as the master of Qingqing Peak."
"You heard it right."
He Gu ignored these people's idle remarks. All he saw was Liu Quan's head.
The distance between the two people quickly closed, and they were about to catch up.
Liu Quan looked back with a look of horror: "Kill me, the people of Wu Zong will not let you go!"
He Gu sneered: "It is the people of Wu Zong who want to kill you."
Liu Quan's pupils shrank sharply, and his heart was shocked.
The fiery red and hot spiritual flame ignited from the fist of He Gu's right hand and gradually spread to the entire right arm.
Earthshaking Flame Fist!
He Gu swung his fist and hit Liu Quan on the head.
With no way to retreat, Liu Quan gritted his teeth and turned around.
He put his hands across his head, and the earth-colored spiritual energy all over his body quickly flowed into his arms, intending to withstand the blow.
However, the power gap between the two sides spans a huge level, making it impossible to resist.
The bones broke, and He Gu's fist kept punching, smashing Liu Quan's head open with one blow.
The breaking force was transmitted along the broken head to other parts of Liu Quan's body, and the body suddenly fell into pieces.
It became a pile of rotten meat on the ground.
This scene was so horrifying that several passers-by were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.
He Gu's expression remained unchanged, he retracted his fist and removed the spiritual flames from his arm.
[Kong Rou: Life falls from Tianyang (within three days)]
Sensing the new warning from the secret stone in his body, he frowned and thought deeply.
If the Tianji Stone hadn't suddenly warned Kong Rou that her beauty was about to disappear, he wouldn't have rushed back suddenly.
This Tianji Stone seems to only have an effect on him and people who are connected to him and whose names are known.
