Chapter 195 The Mysterious Assailant (Two Chapters in One)
"Boss Wang, I paid all the money this time. Please write me a receipt as before..." Lin Li, who had paid for all the 100,000 pearls, said to Wang Gui.
"Um...Okay, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment." Wang Gui looked at the cash worth one hundred silver coins in his hand, and was in a trance for a moment, and then was awakened by Lin Li's voice.
Writing a receipt didn't take much time. Soon, Wang Gui, who was in an excited mood, handed the written receipt to Lin Li.
After collecting the data, Lin Li asked Wang Gui to prepare 100,000 pearls as soon as possible. Then he left the restaurant and rushed to where Guangqi Road was.
After Lin Li left, Wang Gui took out the ten banknotes with a denomination of ten silver coins from his pocket and checked them carefully to confirm that they were all genuine.
“You just earned one hundred thousand coppers like this? You just earned it with those useless rubbish?” Wang Gui, who felt like he was in a dream, murmured to himself as he looked at the fluttering cash in his hand. road.
After accepting other people's money, it is natural to get things done. Wang Gui's absence did not last long.
After he came to his senses, he immediately ordered his employees to dig through the garbage dump and collect those pearls that he thought were of no use at all.
The workload of collecting 100,000 pearls is quite large, but fortunately Lin Li visited early in the morning. It was not lunch time, and the employees in the restaurant were very busy.
If Lin Li came to see Wang Gui during lunch, Wang Gui might not be able to spare his manpower to help Lin Li dig out those pearls from the garbage pile as soon as possible.
Of course, the business of 100,000 copper is not a small business for Wang Gui, who has opened several restaurants. No matter how difficult it is, he will try his best to help Lin Li collect 10 pearls.
…………
Today, the weather in Dongwu City is not good, the sky is gloomy, and patches of dark clouds cover most of Dongwu City, as if it will happen at any time. It rained heavily.
Lin Li, who had negotiated a good deal with Wang Gui, came out of the restaurant. He did not choose to take a bus pulled by a strange beast.
The shaky experience last time left a deep impression on him. Lin Li might not even think about taking that kind of bus in a short time.
Just as Lin Li was about to walk to Guangqi Road, a driver driving a carriage stopped in front of Lin Li.
The other party was young, nearly thirty years old. He said to Lin Li with a smile, "Sir, do you want a ride?"
Lin Li looked at the carriage parked in front of him. One word immediately came to mind...taxi.
"How much does it cost to go to Guangqi Road?" Lin Li asked the coachman.
"This place is quite far from Guangqi Road. It costs ten copper coins." The coachman said.
"Okay." Lin Li nodded, and then got on the simple carriage in front of him.
The interior of this carriage is quite spacious and can seat four people.
However, the interior decoration of the carriage was relatively simple, far inferior to the luxurious carriage that Lin Li had ridden before, Zhu Xinru's.
But think about it, how can this carriage, which is used to attract customers and make money, compare to the private carriage of Miss Zhu Xinru?
"Sir, please sit tight, I'm about to set off." The groom driving the car said to Lin Li who got into the carriage.
"Yeah." Lin Li, who was in the carriage, chose the bench on the right to sit down.
The coachman who received the response immediately shook the reins in his hand and shouted, "Drive."
The horse, which had been following the coachman for many years, immediately stepped away after hearing the coachman's order. The footsteps started running at a constant speed.
Shaking.
The shock absorbing design of this carriage is terrible! Far inferior to Zhu Xinru's private carriage... Sitting in the carriage, Lin Li felt the carriage begin to shake and muttered.
However, although the carriage began to shake, it was much more stable than the bus Lin Li had ridden before. This kind of shaking was within Lin Li's tolerance.
…………
Morning, nine fifty-five.
On Guangqi Road in Dongwu City, across the street from a pastry shop, Zhou Tianci, wearing a brocade robe, and his servant Wang Xiaoliu were sitting in a teahouse drinking tea.
On the tea table, in addition to tea, there is an exquisite square brocade box.
Zhou Tianci took a sip of tea, then put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at the pastry shop across the street, and said with a frown.
"Xiao Liu! Are you sure we're not in the wrong place?"
Wang Xiaoliu, who was about to pick up the teapot and fill his cup with tea, heard Zhou Tianci's question , quickly put down the teapot in his hand and said.
“Master, you can’t be wrong, this is the only pastry shop on this road.”
Zhou Tianci looked at the pastry shop where business was not doing well, with few people going in to buy pastries all morning, and said.
“Since we came to the right place, it’s almost ten o’clock, and the guy named Lin hasn’t shown his face yet.”
Wang Xiaoliu scratched his head and followed Zhou Tianci He looked at the sparse pastry shop and guessed.
"Master, if the guy named Lin hasn't shown up when the time comes, it only means that the person who came to provide us with information yesterday afternoon provided wrong information..."
"..." Zhou Tianci fell silent when he heard the words. After a while, he spoke.
"Let's wait another half an hour! If the guy named Lin still doesn't show up, we'll go home."
"Yeah."
…………
At 10:30 in the morning, as it is approaching noon and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the number of passers-by on Guangqi Road gradually decreases.
“Damn it, that guy who provided the information really provided a piece of false information.” Zhou Tianci said cursingly.
Wang Xiaoliu, who was following Zhou Tianci, echoed his young master's words and cursed the guy who provided false information.
Although Wang Xiaoliu shared the same hatred with his young master on the surface, he was secretly happy in his heart.
Because the guy named Lin did not show up this time, the janitor servant who provided the information could not get credit, which made him very happy.
The master and servant walked out of the teahouse, preparing to go to the place where the horses were stored, retrieve their mounts, and then go home for lunch.
Just as the two people were crossing the road, a man wearing black training clothes and a black hood suddenly rushed out of the alley on the side of the road.
This person had a very clear goal. After running out of the alley, he quickly ran towards Zhou Tianci and Wang Xiaoliu.
"Tap, step, step..."
I was depressed that the guy named Lin didn't show up. I wanted to use him to visit Zhou Tianci, whose plan of Zhu Xinru failed. After hearing this, Hearing the sound of rapid footsteps behind him, he subconsciously stopped and turned to look.
“Huh?”
Seeing the man running towards him quickly, Zhou Tianci had a confused look on his face.
The man wearing a black hood came to Zhou Tianci. Without saying anything, he raised his leg and kicked the opponent in the chest.
Zhou Tianci did not expect that the man wearing a hood would attack him, but he reacted quickly. When the opponent raised his legs, he immediately raised his arms and crossed them in front of his chest to resist. The opponent's attack. "Bang."
Zhou Tianci, who received a kick from the attacker, instantly flew out and landed on the ground a few meters away. He took several steps back before standing still. .
“This man is so strong.” After standing firm, Zhou Tianci thought to himself, looking solemnly at the man wearing a black hood.
Then, he shouted angrily, "How dare you to sneak attack me...?!!!"
Faced with Zhou Tianci's angry shouting, the man wearing a black hooded He said nothing and looked at the angry Zhou Tianci quietly.
The fight just now took place between lightning and flint. By the time Wang Xiaoliu came to his senses, Zhou Tianci had already been kicked away by the man wearing a black hood.
At this time, Wang Xiaoliu, who had come to his senses, immediately cursed at the man wearing a black hood in order to show his loyalty.
“Asshole, how dare you hit my young master.”
Then, he rushed in front of the opponent and punched the attacker in the face.
“Bang.”
Wang Xiaoliu’s fist was easily dodged by the man wearing a black hood, and then the man slapped him with a backhand.
A powerful and heavy slap directly hit Wang Xiaoliu until stars appeared in his eyes. He spun around in circles several times and then fell to the ground. He did not recover for a while.
"You bastard, you have the guts to hide your face, take off the hood for me." Zhou Tianci saw his servant being slapped to the ground by the other party, and frowned at the man wearing the black hood. shouted.
It's a pity that the man who attacked him didn't intend to pay attention to him at all, and remained silent despite all his scoldings.
"Ah! It hurts me to death." Wang Xiaoliu, who was slapped by a man wearing a black hood and had stars in his eyes, came to his senses and immediately covered his swollen face and screamed.
"Peng."
A small flame appeared on the fingertips of the man wearing a black hood, and then the small flame quickly turned into a small fireball the size of a fist.
"The psychic energy fluctuations in the first stage of the second stage, and the fireball ability has also been awakened...!!!"
Zhou Tianci saw a fireball appear on the hand of the man wearing a black hood, and immediately began to sense it. After detecting the spiritual energy fluctuations on the other side that were not weaker than his own, his already unpleasant expression suddenly became even more unpleasant. Looks good.
Wang Xiaoliu, who was sitting on the ground covering his face and wailing, was immediately frightened and shut his mouth when he saw the man wearing a black hood using his superpower.
Because he was afraid that he would be attacked by the opponent's supernatural powers, Wang Xiaoliu rolled and crawled away and ran away.
Zhou Tianci thought that the man wearing a black hood in front of him was a killer sent by his family's enemies, and asked, "Who sent you this guy?"
" ..." The man wearing a black hood still ignored Zhou Tianci. He twisted his neck, and then threw the fireball condensed in his hand towards Zhou Tianci.
"Whoops."
The small orange fireball quickly flew towards Zhou Tianci. Seeing this, Zhou Tianci quickly dodged aside.
"Boom."
The small fireball hit the spot where Zhou Tianci was standing, instantly burning a small area of the ground to black.
"Asshole, are you really mute? Although you have the first stage of the second stage of cultivation, don't think that this young master is afraid of you."
Zhou Tianci, who escaped the fireball attack, glanced at the scorched ground and shouted loudly at the silent man wearing a black hood in front of him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a light golden aura appeared on his body.
The next second, Zhou Tianci's skin instantly turned from white to a deep bronze color. Under the sunlight, it had a faint metallic luster.
The man wearing a black hood was not surprised at all when he saw Zhou Tianci using his powers.
In a voice that only he could hear, he whispered, "Very good, you finally used your awakened power. This time I will use your full strength to kill You give me a beating.”
"Peng."
"Peng."
The hands of the man wearing a black hood condensed a small fireball the size of an apple.
When the two small fireballs were condensed, they instantly changed their shapes and quickly attached to the palm of the man wearing the black hood, like a glove.
"Huh?!!!" Zhou Tianci saw this scene with a surprised expression on his face, "It can actually change the shape of a fireball."
"Tap, step, step..."
The man wearing a black hood walked towards Zhou Tianci. His pace became faster and faster, and then he started running.
"Asshole, you will regret it. I will personally take off the hood on your face to see what you look like?" Facing the enemy rushing towards him, Zhou Tianci immediately shouted He shouted, then went up to him.
“Bang.”
The metallic fist collided with the flaming fist, making a loud impact.
The man wearing a black hood was equal in strength to Zhou Tianci. Neither of them backed down from the punch, but...
"Chi..."
The man wearing a black hood The burning fist was burning with flames, and the hot temperature on the fist was constantly burning Zhou Tianci's skin.
Although Zhou Tianci's metallic skin is not afraid of being slashed by sharp blades, its resistance to the high-temperature burning of flames is obviously insufficient.
Feeling the burning sensation coming from his skin, Zhou Tianci quickly stepped back and distanced himself.
He raised his fist and looked at it, only to see bronze skin with a metallic luster, and the surface was slightly burnt by the flames.
"Hiss... Damn it, this guy's superpower restrains my superpower." Looking at the burned area on his fist, Zhou Tianci took a breath of air as he felt a bit stinging.
"Huh? Where is the person?"
Looking up at the man wearing a black hood, he found that the enemy was nowhere to be seen.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tianci felt a spiritual wave appear behind him, and then, the back of his head was covered by a fiery palm.
"No...why did his speed suddenly change so fast? When did he come around behind me?"
The man wearing a black hood who came around behind Zhou Tianci, with a burning Huo Huo's left hand pressed on the back of Zhou Tianci's head.
The hot flames burned Zhou Tianci's hair and instantly curled it up, giving off a burnt smell.
