Chapter 189 Chapter 187 The Martial Arts School of the Golden Age
"Do you really think the Riot Squad is the Gardeners?"
Ge Gongdao squirmed in the passenger seat of the white beast, looking a little uneasy. He has been in this state since he came out of Lucy Music Restaurant. "If the riot squad was the Gardeners, that would explain a lot of things, like why no one could find it, and why the Gardeners were able to carry out the plan. But it creates a bigger question: Why?"
"Don't ask, I just said it smoothly and said my thoughts without thinking at all. I don't know how to follow up." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "Can you just treat me as talking in my sleep? ? No matter how you ask, we will never investigate, so we will never have an answer."
"But I think Lucy takes it seriously."
"Brother Dao, Sister Lucy is wearing a mask and you can't see her expression at all. How do you know she is serious?"
"Anyway, that's the feeling, just... well, I can't explain clearly." Brother Dao shook his head, still mumbling.
"We have entered the Hedi District. It won't take long to reach the Shengshi Martial Arts School. Are you still unable to reach me on the phone?"
Brother Dao reached out and showed Zhuang Xuteng the cell phone he was dialing. "It only left a landline number, and no one has answered it from now on. This is not a good sign."
"The martial arts gym and operation base are both in the Hedi District. You really like fighting, so you should know that martial arts gym, right?"
"No, I'm really not familiar with it. I've never been to that martial arts gym. I've only heard of its name from friends who used to practice boxing. I especially like boxing, but the martial arts gym doesn't teach boxing and doesn't have boxers, so I just I didn’t take it seriously.”
"So there is indeed such a martial arts school, right?"
Brother Dao nodded and said: "Of course! Do you even doubt this? Think about it carefully, even if Lucy can't spare the manpower to do a special investigation, it's impossible not to know whether there is a martial arts gym! On the other hand, , If someone wants to deceive Lucy, they won’t use such a clumsy method, right? They can find out with a little inquiry, right?”
"Can you call Boss Suo and ask? He has lived in the Hedi District for a long time and may know the situation."
"He must understand the situation, but he has retired." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said: "Retired people should let him retire peacefully and don't disturb him with entrusted matters. In addition to entrusted tasks, we can It’s okay to go chat with him, tell some embarrassing stories, and do some small business. He just can’t forget the life of a mercenary, and he doesn’t want to be a middleman.”
"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Will our master do the same in the future?"
"I don't know, I hope it can be like that: I don't have to worry about publicity every day, and I can do whatever I want. It's just that his reputation is too famous, and maybe he can't disappear like Soth."
"If one day my reputation is as famous as that, or even more famous, I will not choose to disappear. I feel that would be such a loss."
"That's okay, haha, that's okay, becoming a legend is also good." After Brother Dao finished speaking, he turned to look out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
After turning several corners and crossing several roads, the white beast finally found the Shengshi Martial Arts School. It is located deep in the convenience market, sandwiched between a butcher shop and a noodle shop. It is a very inconspicuous two-story hut.
A visual inspection shows that each floor of the house does not exceed 200 square meters. It is too cramped to be used as an equipment gym and is obviously not enough to be used as a martial arts gym. Not only Zhuang Xuteng thought this, but everyone who saw the front door of the "Shengshi Martial Arts School" would have the same thought, so it was so crowded here that the sound of students training could not be heard, or in other words, no sound could be heard.
Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao looked at the dignified plaque of "Shengshi Martial Arts School" in a daze. Their previous thoughts were broken by the deserted scene in front of them. It's too small to be a battlefield for gangs to fight for territory, and it's not big enough to set a trap against Lucy. It is just like the butcher shop and noodle shop in the neighborhood. A few gangsters can clean it up. Even if they want to be used as a stick, the stick is not thick enough.
"Brother Dao, I have to say: at this scale, it can last for so many years and still send the name to your ears - if nothing else, it is really strong." Zhuang Xuteng pinched his nose and refused again to take the meat. Sell to your own vendors. The convenience market always has a passionate atmosphere, and the food here is full of rich flavorings and fragrances, constantly chemically stimulating appetite. It's hard for Zhuang Xuteng to imagine how he can maintain concentration while training in this environment...
"If the door is not locked, it is open for business. Let's go in..." As Zhuang Xuteng was talking, Ge Gongdao had already bought four meat skewers from the vendor and handed him one. "Is it really delicious? You didn't even ask what kind of meat it is?"
"From now on, if I feel hungry, you will eat first. I have said that you are responsible for testing the poison." Ge Gongdao had three meatballs in his mouth and his words were a bit slurred. "Besides, if you don't buy it, you can't ask...the martial arts gym door is open!"
The door of the martial arts hall was violently pushed open, and six young men and women with tattoos walked out. One of the taller guys was holding a bruised and groggy middle-aged man on his shoulders. Ge Gongdao grabbed the vendor who had just sold him meat skewers and asked him who these people were.
"The one who was knocked unconscious was Master Zhuang, and the martial arts school belongs to him. The others are from the Viper Gang, and they have been looking for Master Zhuang lately. As for what, I don't know." The vendor saw Ge Gongdao's huge size, and Knowing that he is no match, he does not struggle and just answers whatever is asked, which is particularly good.
"Fight?" Zhuang Xuteng asked, "You are the commander this time, you didn't give the order... Hey! Why did you rush up first? This is too unkind!"
As a mercenary, he accepted a bodyguard commission. If he watched the client being robbed by the gang in front of him and didn't take action, he would not be able to work in this field in the future. Zhuang Xuteng understood this simple truth in less than a second. If it weren't for the fact that this mission was mainly for Ge Gongdao, he would definitely rush up earlier.
One step slow, one step slow. Ge Gongdao pounced and knocked the gangsters away without using super calculation martial arts, and came directly to Master Zhuang. Among the many people, only the strong man in front of him had some resistance. He dodged and blocked a few times, and then was shaken by the continuous swinging punches, and could only throw Master Zhuang to the ground.
Well, as soon as Master Zhuang was safe, Ge Gongdao's fists became more powerful, and he knocked down all the people in a few seconds. Zhuang Xuteng's fighting style is different from Ge Gongdao's. He is more focused on control. Whenever the gang members wanted to draw their weapons, he could always immediately judge their intentions and grab the weapons first. The resulting scene was: the three gangsters wanted to take the knife, but Zhuang Xuteng took it first and threw it on the ground; they wanted to take the sticks and racks beside them, but Zhuang Xuteng was faster and took them first, and had time to hit the gangsters on the head.
A moment later, all the gangsters fled, leaving behind ten weapons and sundries, four wallets and many famous quotes commonly used by villains: "You wait, we will be back!"
"Oh." Zhuang Xuteng hooked his right foot, picked up a short iron rod from the ground, caught it with his right hand and threw it out. The iron rod flew out in a rotation, drawing an arc, and hit the shoulder of the gangster who kept talking and making threats. He shouted "ouch", then covered his shoulder, closed his mouth tightly, and looked angry.
Gongdao Ge picked up Master Zhuang, patted his cheek gently, and after a brief inspection, he said, "Master Zhuang was knocked unconscious. His pulse is a little weak. Give me some Legion Juice."
"You have it, why do you need mine?" Zhuang Xuteng was taking out a titanium alloy wine bottle from his pocket when he heard a rapid approaching sound of footsteps. Even in the noisy market, the footsteps can be very clear. Only when you step on the ground very hard can this effect occur.
Turning his head, he saw a handbag full of things flying towards him at a very fast speed. Zhuang Xuteng quickly turned around to avoid it, and at the same time entered the state of supercomputing three flashes.
"Be careful!" Before Gongdao Ge finished speaking, a black shadow rushed towards Zhuang Xuteng at a very high speed. It was a middle-aged man with a black beard, a square face, and a big body. He must have installed a high-speed explosive implant, otherwise he would not be able to fly up immediately after stepping on the ground with both feet, and he would raise his knees and rush towards Zhuang Xuteng.
The main reason why high-speed explosive implants are difficult to deal with is that the absolute speed of the body cannot keep up, and it can only rely on quick reactions to do more buffering and unloading deflection. Zhuang Xuteng used small steps to retreat as far as possible, giving himself time and space to respond. At the same time, he placed his hands in the path of the opponent's knees in advance, using his arms, shoulders and upper body as springs to buffer the opponent's huge force.
That knee was as hard as steel. Maybe this is what the ramming horn on a warship feels like? In the three-flash state, the high-speed running nerves make the world seem slow, including the speed of one's own body movement. The only object that remains fast is the knee that is getting closer and closer.
The palms pressed on the knees hurt, and the impact force was transmitted from the base of the palm to the wrist, and then transmitted upward along the ulna and radius. Zhuang Xuteng was very surprised. He guessed that this was the "force" that could be heard during the four-flash. The four-flash was to deal with this "force", controlling it from straight to horizontal, from points and lines to spread to surfaces, and finally turning it into a low-harm effect that can be handled by dormant martial arts.
Zhuang Xuteng can't deal with it now, so he can only do his best to buffer. Buffering is to maximize the contact time and avoid a head-on rigid collision. Master Famine Stranger said that he could achieve a completely flexible collision when he was doing the Seven Flashes, provided that the opponent's impact force was within a certain range. Supercomputing martial arts has increased the upper limit of the power that the user can withstand, but it is not without an upper limit.
This time, it was impossible to deal with the iron knee collision while standing on the ground, so Zhuang Xuteng was knocked away. His buttocks were backwards, spinning in the air like a helpless rag doll. Seeing that he was about to rush to the stall selling pots and pans not far away, he was about to cause an accident, but he did not expect that he turned around inexplicably in the air and adjusted his posture abruptly, landing on his feet instead of his buttocks.
Boom! The support shoes stepped on the concrete floor and left two shallow marks. The pressure muscle implants on both legs resolved the last part of the strong impact. Zhuang Xuteng staggered two steps, but still found his balance again and stood on the ground with both feet.
"This is good!" he shouted.
