Chapter 61 The Thief
“What?” Lu Gang was stunned, unable to realize what Song Changming meant.
In the deserted alley, this man walked halfway, suddenly stopped and looked forward.
At the corner of the other end of the alley, accompanied by a burst of chaotic footsteps, Lu Gang and several patrolmen came out and blocked it.
"Who is it? Tell me your name." Lu Gang asked in a deep voice as he approached this person.
"Seeking death!" Under the bamboo hat, the man looked fierce and flew towards Lu Gang without saying a word.
Lu Gang was shocked by how cruel this person was, and even more shocked by how fast this person exploded.
In a blink of an eye, the other party rushed in front of him.
Lu Ganggang drew his sword and struck, but the opponent instantly stopped and jumped up, easily avoiding the long knife in Lu Gang's hand.
When he raised his hands, two long sharp iron claws were revealed from his sleeves, and they clawed hard at Lu Gang's head.
Lu Gang used his sword to parry the pair of iron claws, but was kicked in the chest by the opponent's two feet and was kicked back a few steps.
Looking at the agile ape-like guy in front of him and this pair of iron-clawed weapons, Lu Gang had an impression in his mind.
There are not many people in the world who use iron claws as a handy weapon.
"Night-walking ghost, Sun Meng!" Lu Gang revealed the other party's identity.
This guy is a big thief on the government's wanted list. If he remembers correctly, the reward for this guy is as high as three thousand silver!
This is not a small amount.
Just because this guy acted rampantly, not only stealing, but also committing adultery and robbery.
A complete villain.
The patrol departments in other urban areas had previously reported that they had discovered the whereabouts of this thief.
Now this has spread to their Houli Street.
"Suffer death!" Sun Meng smiled strangely, his voice sharp.
After repelling Lu Gang, he turned back, put his foot on the wall of the alley, and attacked Lu Gang again.
Lu Gang shouted loudly, raised his sword and swung it in a round direction, displayed his sword skills, and slashed forward.
As the captain of the patrol, his skills were not bad, but he was still unable to deal with the thief who had a bounty of three thousand silver.
Several attacks were blocked, and the long knife was knocked away by the opponent.
Lu Gang was shocked, and immediately drew out the second sword from his waist to save his life, and shouted while retreating.
"Chanming!"
A bit of cold light passed over the wall, instantly blocking Sun Meng's life-and-death pursuit.
The moment before Lu Gang asked for help, Song Changming had already taken action in time.
In fact, if Lu Gang had not wanted to try his improved sword skills and asked Song Changming to hold the battle in advance, he would not have delayed taking action until now.
"Hey!" Sun Meng glanced at the person who came over, and it was a rather young patrol chief.
Without thinking much, he twisted his iron claws and tried to repeat the same trick, knocking away the long knife in front of him.
However, the long knife whirled, and the blade actually pecked his wrist, causing blood to flow out.
He immediately changed his expression, realizing that the young guard commander in front of him was a bit difficult to deal with, and wanted to retreat quickly.
But Song Changming didn't want to let go of this achievement, so he held the long sword firmly and used the light body skill to follow up.
The Soul-Severing Sword in the Perfection Realm is pointed directly at the opponent's head. Sun Meng felt the fierce wind howling and shouted: "Ghost Sword Sect! Are you the successor of Ghost Sword Sect?!"
He recognized the style of sword skills performed by Song Changming, but then he discovered that Song Changming's light body skill did not belong to the Ghost Sword Sect and was not a successor of the orthodox Ghost Sword Sect.
It's just that this person's martial arts training is complicated.
But if he is not an orthodox descendant of the Ghost Sword Sect, why can he practice this sword skill to perfection?
Sun Meng was confused, but he was not given any room to think about it at the moment. The two of them started fighting fiercely in the narrow alley.
Sun Meng wanted to retreat, but Song Changming followed him like a shadow.
A heavy slash came with huge force. Even though Sun Meng resisted with the iron claws of both arms, he was still squeezed by the force of the knife, making him unable to straighten his waist and breathe.
The blade swept across, leaving a trail of blood on his thin and sunken cheek, which almost killed him.
Just when Song Changming was about to hit him hard with another knife, Sun Meng's iron claw touched the mechanism, and suddenly two copper needles shot out, piercing Song Changming's face.
Fighting at close range and being caught off guard, this hidden weapon is quite deadly.
Sun Meng relied on this hand to kill many enemies who were stronger than him.
I thought I was sure of success this time, but I didn't expect Song Changming's reaction to be extremely fast. He twisted the long knife in his hand forcefully, cut a semicircle in the air, and knocked away the two copper needles with the blade of the knife with great dexterity.
When Sun Meng saw this, he lost all his fighting spirit and jumped out, using his hands and feet to climb over the alley wall and escape.
He was very confident in his lightness skills. As long as he could leave this narrow alley, it would be impossible for these patrols to find him.
However, Song Changming threw out the long knife at this time, and pinned Sun Meng's left leg to the wall accurately!
This hand-swinging knife is also one of the moves of Feiyan style, including the previous move of blocking the copper needle, which is also from Feiyan style.
After reaching Xiaocheng, he can use these sword skills with great ease.
Sun Meng lay on the wall and wailed. He never expected that he would be arrested so hastily today.
And he was defeated by an unknown boy.
In the end, he was mistaken. If he had wanted to run away from the beginning, these people would not have been able to catch him.
Song Changming stepped forward and pulled out the bloody long knife, while Lu Gang and other patrol guards on the side shackled Sun Meng, who had lost resistance. This was considered a successful arrest.
"It's really yours, Chang Ming. In just one meal, I have achieved another great achievement!" Lu Gang was overjoyed after repeatedly confirming the identity of Sun Meng's Night Walker.
Although he didn't help much in the whole process, he can still get some credit when it comes to credit.
He understood that Song Changming had never been the one to take all the credit.
"It's just a coincidence." Song Changming said with a smile, casually wiping the blood on Sun Meng's knife on his clothes.
"In addition, if I remember correctly, this guy is worth three thousand silver rewards!" Lu Gang continued.
When Song Changming heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
For him, this is also a huge amount of money that cannot be ignored!
Even if according to the rules, some of it has to be divided by Liang Chuanshan, Lu Gang and others above, the bulk of it still belongs to him!
Before, he was worried about money not being spent, but now he has made another fortune.
It has to be said that sometimes, when luck comes and you encounter such a wanted criminal with a high bounty on his head, the bounty he earns alone is enough to be worth his salary as a patrol chief for several years!
But normally, it would be almost impossible for a patrol chief in an ordinary urban area to catch a wanted criminal with a high bounty of this level.
Lu Gang was the best example before. If Song Changming hadn't taken action, not to mention the bounty, if he had followed it alone and rashly, he would have even lost his life.
Even if Song Changming hadn't practiced Feiyan Style to a small level, he might not be able to catch this cunning night ghost at the last moment, and he might even die from the opponent's copper needle sneak attack.
The so-called wealth and honor are sought in the midst of danger. If you seek it, you will get it. Wealth and honor are there. If you cannot seek them, people will be gone.
