Chapter 21 Death by Black Tiger Fist

Chen Luo did not disturb Old Liu. He paused for a moment, bowed to Aunt Wang, and continued walking forward.

The further he walked, the more desolate it became.

The places most damaged by the war were where these poor people lived.

Chen Luo would see someone burning paper almost every two steps he took. Some families had one person dead, some had only one person left in the whole family, and there were even several families whose lights were dark forever. No one in the family was spared.

This kind of scene made people feel depressed.

Finally, Chen Luo arrived at the door of his uncle's house.

He looked at the kicked-down wooden door and the dark inner hall inside, and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt that his feet were all black ash, and it was soft to step on.

The house was obviously ravaged by the bandits, and it was a mess. Even the water tank in the yard was broken. The main hall was also burned by fire, and the main hall had collapsed. The side rooms were still good. It seemed that someone came to put out the fire later.

After Chen Luo scanned the area, he quickly walked to the place where his uncle had buried Eunuch Wei.

Although his uncle's technique was very professional, the time was too short after all. If someone came to investigate, they would definitely find traces.

"Someone really came here!"

Chen Luo's pupils shrank slightly.

He squatted down and checked carefully, and soon he found something wrong.

The area where his uncle had spread lime had been moved, and the black ash from burning Eunuch Wei and others' clothes had also been turned out. Although it overlapped with the fire scene behind, the ash left after burning different materials was different. Chen Luo and his uncle had been burying corpses for a long time, and they could tell the difference.

In the eyes of professionals, this kind of trace is a clue.

"Is it someone in the palace? Or someone else?"

Chen Luo stood up and messed up the black ash again, mixing it with the dust from the burning house. This matter is definitely not over yet. The people behind Eunuch Wei are very cautious. So far, Chen Luo doesn't know who the enemy he is facing is.

But he also has a breakthrough, that is the county magistrate of Qingya County.

If he just wanted to kill him before, now he has another reason. It is definitely not okay to passively take a beating. There is no reason for anyone to defend for a lifetime. He must find that hand and cut it off completely. He doesn't want to live with his uncle in the unknown pursuit for the rest of his life, and he dare not even turn over when he sleeps.

"Don't come to this place anymore."

Chen Luo didn't stay any longer and got up and walked out of the house.

Looking at the civilians who were like zombies in the distance, a glimmer of enlightenment rose in his heart.

Strength!

Only strong strength can give him the confidence to live. It's useless to reason with people in this world, unless you have the strength to make the other party sit down and listen to your reasoning.

If he hadn't learned martial arts this time, he and his uncle might be among the corpses lying on the ground.

Bypassing the alley in front, Chen Luo went to the street where the two soldiers were shot to death before.

The street was completely quiet at this time, and no one could be seen.

The corpses were also cleaned up, but no one cared about what happened next. It was normal for two people to die in the already chaotic Qingya County. These remaining bandits were not good people either. Rather than being soldiers, they were bandits who just happened to be wearing the skin of the government.

After making sure that the little girl was not in danger, Chen Luo turned to another direction.

He was going to see his master Ma Quezi and his junior sister He Min.

They were not ordinary people, and their chances of survival were much greater than ordinary people.

Before, he was not strong enough, so he could only protect his uncle. Now that he has the ability, he naturally has to take care of the people around him as much as possible, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of martial arts to learn this martial arts.

After crossing the street, he soon arrived at the blockade area.

The once blocked neighborhood was now unattended. Chen Luo flew over the houses and saw several burned houses. These houses were the property of Mr. Bai in Qingya County. Because of his "private communication with bandits", these houses were raided, the things inside were lifted out, and the walls were demolished.

When he passed a house, Chen Luo suddenly stopped and jumped into the yard.

Unlike other burned areas, this courtyard is very well preserved. Even the flowers and plants in the courtyard are still in their original state. The study inside is neatly arranged. There is also ink that has been ground in the inkstone. It seems that a big shot must have lived here before.

Chen Luo looked around and jumped into the room after confirming that no one was there.

The room was clean and there was a faint fragrance. Chen Luo walked to the side of the desk, dipped some ink in the inkstone with his index finger, and smelled it on the tip of his nose.

"Within ten days."

Through the ink, he roughly estimated the time when the people in the courtyard left.

This period of time was when Qingya County was "rebelling". The people in this courtyard knew in advance and left. They must have been related to those people. At least they should know who was the mastermind behind the "suppression of bandits".

"Wang Chengguan?"

Chen Luo found this name on the desk next to him.

The handwriting was very neat, and the strokes were powerful, like sword moves.

Chen Luo didn't know calligraphy, but he could tell that this was a good piece of calligraphy.

After putting the paper in his arms, he searched the house again. After making sure there were no useful clues, he stood up again and headed towards Ma Quezi's house.

The delay along the way made the night deeper.

The cold air enveloped the post-war county town, making it even colder.

Soon, Chen Luo came to the alley where Ma Quezi lived. Like the alley over there where Chen Laosan lived, this one had also been looted. The boiler next to Ma Quezi had been knocked down, the windows were burned black, and the paper pasted on them had all burned. The same was true for Ma Quezi's house, the repair tools were gone, and the bench next to it had been kicked down.

The door was half open, shaking slightly in the night wind, making a 'creaking' sound.

Chen Luo glanced at the door and then at the wall next to it. It was safer to climb over the wall than to go through the door, and it could avoid being killed by someone opening the door.

So he gently exerted force on his feet

and the whole person jumped up like a flying swallow, and fell into the wall in two steps. This was a way to use internal energy. After forging bones, Chen Luo's control over his own strength became more refined, and he could do many actions that he couldn't do before.

The yard was empty.

All the tools Chen Luo used to practice martial arts were overturned, the sandbags fell to the side, the canvas was cut open, and the sand was scattered all over the floor. The house in the main hall was also knocked open, and the only intact door panel was covered with knife marks.

Chen Luo quickly walked to the door, and as soon as he walked over the threshold, he saw a body lying inside.

His heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to turn the body over.

A strange face.

"Not bad"

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he found something wrong.

Because this body was actually killed by someone with fist power. The move was the killer move in the Black Tiger Fist - Black Tiger Heart Digging!

Thinking of this, Chen Luo tore open the man's clothes and found that there was indeed a hole in his chest, and the heart inside was dug out.

"Did Master Ma kill this man with fist power?"

Chen Luo touched the wound with his hand, and the residual power of the Black Tiger Fist on it made him feel a little familiar.
