Chapter 656: Bad Intentions (Five Thousand Words!)
The Bounty Hunter Guild mistakenly set the negotiation location in Hanshui City, which undoubtedly caught Tang En off guard. .
To be honest, because Lina and the others were here, Tang En didn't want any trouble to occur in Hanshui City. It was precisely for this reason that I knew the location of the guild here but did not choose to take action. Of course, it is not possible to change the negotiation location for no reason now, because it will easily remind the other party of something...
Fortunately, the timely return of Michu, Luke and others greatly increased the power Tang En could deploy. In the end, I stopped thinking about it and just watched the changes!
Three days later, in the Xicheng District of Hanshui City.
Tang En pretended to be a down-and-out middle-aged man and knocked on the door of a private house.
"Boss, you're here..." David opened the door with a tired look, then opened his mouth and looked at the little boy next to Tang En in surprise, "Hey, little Carol, are you there too?"
"Hello, Brother David." Little Carol bowed and saluted with a calm expression.
It was no wonder that David was surprised. Although little Carol was powerful in combat, everyone in Gray Space knew that Tang En would never let her take risks, let alone face the Bounty Hunter Guild this time.
Tang En was a little helpless when he heard this: "I can't help it. I don't listen to any advice. It's really troublesome..." After a pause, he looked at little Carol's obviously deflated mouth, spread his hands, and said angrily, "Forget it. It would be nice to see something. Well, how is the situation?"
After walking into the house and casually greeting Harry, Luke and others, David took Tang En to the attic window, pointed to the guild's hiding place in the distance, and shook his head helplessly, "It's not very good, we have been monitoring it for three days. , non-stop day and night, but no abnormality was found. The secret agency also did not detect any dazzling people entering the city. "
Tang En nodded, not surprised by this situation. After all, he was a senior member of the Bounty Hunter Guild. It would be strange if his traces could be traced so easily.
Squinting at the guild's hiding place in the distance, Tang En suddenly raised the corners of his mouth: "Since it's no longer possible to just wait and see, let's lure the snake out of the hole. Well, hand over a letter. The content is the negotiation time and address we agreed on before."
Turning around, he patted David on the shoulder, "I'll keep an eye on this. You guys have a good rest now, and then act according to the original plan without making any mistakes."
After hearing this, David's energy suddenly perked up, and the previous fatigue was instantly wiped away. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Haha, don't worry, boss, I will give them a big gift."
"Haha, that's good, let's go."
When David and Harry and others, who also looked tired and a little excited, all left the room. Little Carol wrinkled her delicate eyebrows and asked curiously: "Brother, what's the big gift?"
"Children, don't ask so many questions... Uh, what's your expression?" Looking at the corners of Carol's mouth that turned down in a big arc, Tang En stroked his forehead, his face speechless, "I'm just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha... Wait a minute, very soon You’ll know soon.”
"Oh..." Little Carol's head dropped slightly, but she did not continue to press. However, Tang En glanced over and grinned as if he had a toothache. He said seriously, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Remember, we have agreed that you just have to protect Lina this time. Everything else is the same." Don’t interfere!”
Having been guessed, little Carol could only curl her lips and nod slightly with an aggrieved look.
Upon seeing this, Tang En knew that this expression was mostly for show, but he still couldn't bear it. He touched little Carol's soft and broken hair and comforted him: "The enemy is too powerful this time. I will bring you with me next time. Well, how about we talk to you later?" Brother, let’s track it together and see if your level has dropped?”
"Of course not!" After all, with Tang En's promise, little Carol gave up at the right time, and then her face lit up with pride, "Brother Harry can prove my hiding and tracking skills."
This is true. When Twain left for the front line, he expected that little Carol would not stay at the station with peace of mind, so he ordered Harry to follow him secretly for protection. But I never thought that little Carol had been wandering outside for more than half a year, and was even chased by people from the Temple of Light, but Harry could not find her... The corner of his mouth twitched, and Tang En nodded expressionlessly: "Okay, it seems It is necessary to intensify the training of these bastards!"
…
Not to mention how David and others would torture Harry, who had asked them to commit the crime, after hearing what Tang En said. Just before noon, a few eye-catching people finally arrived in front of the Bounty Hunters Guild...
Lifting the gap in the curtains, Tang En squinted at the cold-looking warriors in the distance, and murmured in a low voice: "Five earth-level warriors, tsk tsk, they are indeed the Bounty Hunter Guild, so generous, oh, quite careful... …”
There is no doubt that the other party must have arrived in Hanshui City after three days. And the reason why it was not discovered here can only mean that the other party has not entered the bounty hunter guild here at all.
Tang En asked David to hand over the negotiation address. He originally wanted to follow the person who went out to send messages to the guild and confirm the other party's location. But I didn't expect that the other party was very cautious, so they did the opposite and directly dispatched five prefecture-level warriors to ask for information.
However... Little Carol looked slightly embarrassed. Although she couldn't tell the opponent's strength based on her cultivation level, but with brother Tang En here, could a mere prefecture-level warrior want to avoid their tracking?
After lowering the curtains, Tang En stretched out his hand to mess up his hair, looking even more dejected: "Let's go to the street corner and wait for them."
Of course there was no problem with the surveillance location David and the others chose. Although it was a bit far from the guild's hiding place, it was very close to the only street entrance here. In this way, no matter what actions the people in the guild want to make, they can quickly intercept them.
The streets are naturally lively at noon. Although the location is a bit remote, there are also many pedestrians on the road.
Tang En was dressed in scraps of cloth, his face was full of color, and his eyes were full of confusion and emptiness about the future. Little Carol at the back was dressed like a boy, with a gray cotton-padded jacket full of patches. She lowered her head and followed Tang En with slow steps. They looked like a lifeless homeless father and son, and they would not attract anyone's attention at all.
Compared to the rich south, Bran's north is still very poor. So even in the city, homeless people are common. When passersby around saw Tang En and the two of them, they subconsciously covered their noses to avoid them, with expressions of intentional or unintentional contempt.
Of course, this is also the effect Tang En wants. While walking aimlessly, he looked around casually, waiting for the arrival of the five earth-level warriors. But before walking through this intersection, suddenly,
Tang En's eyes instantly shrank, his steps paused, and his expression changed slightly. Little Carol, who was following behind, was startled when she saw this, and subconsciously followed Tang En's previous line of sight...
"Lower your head! Right corner!" Without looking back, Tang En moved his lips slightly, clearly transmitting the voice, and then took the lead to walk to the right corner.
No one paid attention to this brief pause. Under the cover of the crowd, Tang En and Little Carol also successfully entered the corner on the right. As soon as Pu stepped in, Tang En immediately pressed against the wall of the corner shop. Looking at little Carol's confused expression, he solemnly waved his hand: "Sorry, the tracking plan promised before is cancelled. You should go back immediately."
Little Carol was slightly startled when she heard this, then nodded, turned and left. Little Carol knew very well that her brother would not have made such a serious expression if he had not encountered an unexpected situation beyond his control. This was all for her safety.
Watching little Carol disappear into the crowd, Tang En breathed a sigh of relief, and then took a few steps sideways, squinting at the crystal glass of the house across the street... There, the scenery on the other side of the intersection was reflected. street.
Behind the figure who walked by from time to time, on a bench on the roadside, an old man in green clothes with slightly frosted temples was sitting there. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the newspaper open in his hand with great interest.
If you look at it from an ordinary person's perspective, this is an ordinary old man who may not be able to bear the trouble at home and comes to this lively street to feel the anger of the world. But there was a rare look of hesitation in Tang En's eyes...
If you want to confirm the strength of a warrior, direct testing is undoubtedly the most sure way. But if you estimate it based on your eyesight alone, it is more difficult to say...
Unless the gap between the realms of the two sides is too large, or like Tang En, who has been systematically trained and has the experience of surviving a hundred battles, he can rely on his keen sense of perception to make a vague judgment on the degree of danger the other party poses to him. Just like the five earth-level warriors just now...
Of course, this kind of judgment based only on the naked eye will undoubtedly be interfered by various factors, such as the opponent's similar strength, or the opponent's ability to hide his aura, etc., and the results obtained will have serious errors.
The old man in green clothes in front of him gave Tang En a rather ethereal feeling. When he first looked at it, there was nothing eye-catching, but there was an indescribable vague feeling. It was this vague feeling that made Tang En take a serious look again. One glance at the other party revealed that the feeling was still the same, so he decisively ordered Carol to avoid it.
The old housekeeper once commented that the essence of fighting spirit in other worlds is domineering! This violent force like a volcanic eruption is difficult to hide and can be recognized at a glance. Of course, there are also talented and beautiful people who can return to their original nature and restrain all their auras. For example, the one who is often mentioned in the mouth of the old man in the library of Beihuang Palace, Bran Sword God Wooding!
However, Tang En didn't think that the other party could reach that level, so the ethereal feeling lingering in his heart should be due to the similar strength of the two parties.
Empty level realm?
Taking a slight breath, to be honest, Tang En didn't know which level his strength was in the other world's military system because the systems were so different. But what can be confirmed is that among all the earth-level warriors he encountered, with the exception of Xia Wei'an, he was already relatively invincible!
However, you always have to confirm to feel at ease... After thinking about it, Tang En walked to the corner of the street, slightly stuck his head out, and silently said in his heart, 'Wang Qi! ’
Wangqi: glimpse into the mountains and rivers and gain insight into all things!
This is a skill in the layout skill tree. According to the old butler, this skill is derived from the induction of heaven and man. It can vaguely judge the strength and danger of the character, and can understand the landscape pattern at a glance, and select the most suitable assassin. The location... In short, it is mysterious and mysterious, and I don't know how serious it is.
Wow... suddenly a breeze blew by, and the newspapers stirred up the excitement. The old man in green clothes sitting on the bench seemed to be aware of it. He suddenly raised his head, narrowed his old eyes slightly and looked at the corner of the street with a sharp light.
It was empty, and there was no movement of anyone on the street corner. A few breaths later, a middle-aged couple walked out of there and walked straight into a nearby shop.
The old man in green frowned slightly, then shook his head slightly and continued to look down at the newspaper.
At the corner of the street, "Huh..." Tang En stared at the crystal glass opposite and let out a long sigh of relief. I don't know whether it was because of the side effects of the skill or because Tang En didn't get home yet. As soon as he used the Qi Watching skill just now, the old man in green was keenly aware of it. Fortunately, he reacted faster and retreated in time, otherwise he would have been dead. Will be caught by the other party.
But despite taking a bit of a risk, Tang En also got the results he wanted. In despair, Tang En finally sensed a deep sense of danger in the old man in green. Although we can't accurately pinpoint the opponent's strength, we must be on the side of Kong Level...
His expression darkened, "He really is an empty-level warrior." His brows furrowed, Tang En didn't think his luck would be so good, or so bad, that he would accidentally bump into a rare empty-level warrior when he went out.
Sure enough... while Tang En was struggling, the five earth-level warriors who had appeared in front of the Bounty Hunter Guild came back in a carriage, glanced at the old man in green, nodded slightly, then lowered the curtains and continued moving forward. The old man in green folded the newspaper and walked slowly into the crowd, following behind faintly.
"Hey, I really want to play dirty!" Tang En's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he ruffled his messy hair again, twisted his body to adjust, and walked towards the old man in green.
It's just a negotiation. Even for the sake of safety, we can't make a big battle with one air-level warrior and five earth-level warriors. There is no doubt that the other party came here with bad intentions this time!
And now that he knows this, if he doesn't want his original plan to fail, Tang En must know the strength of the old man in green. Of course, this is not a personal test. Although Tang En was confident that he would not be discovered when approaching the opponent, if he took action, even if he showed a trace of murderous intent, the opponent would notice it.
Looking left and right, Tang En's eyes flickered and he stared at a rough man dressed as a mercenary holding a heavy sword.
There are still a lot of mercenaries in the other world, but any warrior with some strength will not refuse mercenaries as a profession that can bring extra income.
After observing the distance between the two sides, Tang En moved his steps quietly. Relying on his current bad image of hiding from everyone, he quietly controlled the movement of the people around him and secretly pushed the rough man directly opposite the old man in green. go.
Twenty steps, ten steps, five steps...
Tang En's eyes flashed, and he seemed to raise his hand to scratch his head inadvertently, but in fact he pushed it on the waist of the young man next to him without leaving any trace. It seemed like he gave a weak push, but the young man stumbled sideways as if he was drunk, screamed, and involuntarily bumped into the woman beside him. The woman was caught off guard and fell to the side again...
After connecting with three or four people, we finally arrived at the rude man. After all, he was a warrior, so the big man's reaction was not slow, and he quickly stepped aside to avoid it. However, although the man dodged, the heavy sword in his hand unconsciously raised and swept across, like an attack, and was handed directly to the old man in green.
With an indifferent look on his face, the old man in green paused in his steps as if he hadn't seen him before, and avoided the heavy sword that passed in front of his eyes.
It's a pity... Tang En, who had been observing with his peripheral vision, couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this. He didn't expect that the other party's character was not bad. Even if he was slightly offended by this weak man, he didn't get angry at all. look like.
Of course, there is also a possibility that this big man is too weak and the old man in green is too lazy to teach him a lesson... But no matter what, if he misses this opportunity, Tang En can only think of other ways to test him. But at this moment,
"What are you looking at! Get out of my way!"
Tang En turned his head in surprise. It turned out that after a pause, the old man in green just happened to come face to face with the rude man. Originally, under normal circumstances, if the two of them turned their backs on each other at the same time, or if one of them stepped aside and passed each other, they would be fine with each other.
But this rude man had a very hot temper and was usually a troublemaker. When he saw the old man in green standing in front of him, he swore and pushed him without thinking.
Oh, thank you to your whole family... Tang En was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately stopped to watch.
The old man in green clothes who had already stepped sideways paused, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes twitched obviously. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the big man, wow... there was a small scratching, and everyone around him unconsciously hugged his shoulders, and suddenly felt that it was the coldest month of winter. The surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and it was freezing!
The rough man's body suddenly froze, and his arms froze in mid-air, motionless like a statue. If someone stood in front of him at this time, he could see that his eyes were full of horrifying fear.
"Humph!" With a slight snort, the old man in green walked past the big man, and an imperceptible blade flashed away.
After a few breaths, the cold air around him disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared before. Immediately, bang... the heavy sword fell to the ground, and before the sound of metal collision ended, a high-pitched scream came out, "Ah..." The left arm stretched out by the rude man was suddenly broken at the shoulder level, and slipped strangely, hiss, hiss, hiss, and the scarlet blood was instantly stimulated. It sprayed out and covered the faces of several passers-by directly opposite.
A young woman subconsciously wiped the blood from her face, lowered her head and spread her hands, rolled her eyes, and simply fell to the ground. Wow...exclamations and screams came one after another, and chaos instantly broke out in the center of the street.
Tang En didn't pay attention to the chaos. Based on the cold murderous intention emitted by the old man in green, he secretly estimated the opponent's strength level in his heart, and then he breathed a sigh of relief with a look of joy on his face.
Not bad, not bad, he should just have just stepped into the threshold of Kong level realm, and his strength is about the same as that of Yama...
Turning his head to look at the old man in green who was blending into the crowd, Tang En thought for a moment, pushed aside the panicked crowd, leaned over and held down the big man who was rolling on the ground and wailing. With a soft sigh, he pulled a piece of cloth on his chest and simply bandaged the shoulder wound to stop the bleeding slightly, then picked up the severed arm beside him and stuffed it into the opponent's arms along with the gold ticket.
He raised his head and patted the pale man on the shoulder, "Hurry up and go to the church. You should be able to catch up... And, um, sorry! Thank you!"
