Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 331 Monster

"General, I just asked, and these rows of houses are used to store old tables and chairs. They are only moved out and cleaned before a banquet. Normally, no one comes here."

The person came in a hurry. Wang Mingqian stood outside a courtyard with densely packed houses. A large lock hung on the gate. Judging from the dust on it, it had indeed been there for some time. "Can I get the key?"

"Here it is. I'll open it right away."

"Well, be quiet." His eyes kept wandering around the surrounding walls. They had to unlock the door to get in, but thieves didn't need to. They could just climb over the wall. If they were really hiding here, there should be traces left on the wall.

The lock was opened quickly. Except for the crisp "click", everyone held their breath and followed Wang Mingqian's movements to enter and disperse.

This place was built specifically for storing things. Unlike the houses of normal owners, it is too densely packed. It is impossible for them to search at the same time.

Wang Mingqian led a group straight to the row of houses in the far corner. As soon as they reached the door, the harsh sound of iron chains rang out from inside the house, followed by the sound of huge windows shattering. He reacted quickly and kicked the door open immediately: "Here!"

It's a pity that it's still a step too late!

Through the gap between the tables and chairs, I could only see a figure jumping out: "Hurry!"

There were too many debris inside, and it was impossible to rush through directly. Wang Mingqian made a quick decision, turned around and ran out of the door, heading quickly to the back.

The Jinwu Guards, having heard the noise, also rushed over, but only saw the back of their family's general. "One of you will go report to Cui Shaoqing, and the rest of you will come with me!"

"Yes!"

Cui Bianxu, who was searching in the courtyard on the other side, knew something had happened when he heard the noise, so he jumped onto the roof and rushed over here. He was so fast that he caught up with the Jinwu Guards in just a few breaths.

"Shaoqing Cui! The thieves are hiding here indeed! Southwest direction! The General of the Household is chasing them!" The Jinwu Guards who heard the movement on the roof looked up and saw Cui Bianxu rising and falling on the roof like a giant cat slave. Before they knew it, he had run ahead of them. They had no choice but to shout and point in a direction.

In Cui Bianxu's opinion, Wang Mingqian's boxing and kicking skills were only average. Thinking that the thief seemed to have strong skills, he felt secretly anxious as he was now chasing him alone.

Afraid that this mediocre guy would lose track of him, he gritted his teeth and increased his speed to the maximum.

At this moment, Wang Mingqian, who was using all his strength, had indeed been left behind as he expected. As the chase lasted longer, he understood that the distance would only get bigger and bigger.

Just like when ordinary people run, their speed will slow down after a certain number of meters. Chasing someone with light skills is naturally an extremely physically demanding task. This is completely different from what Jiang Shangxian said in the book.

But the man in front seemed to be completely unaffected, and his speed remained at its peak.

However, this person really did have only one leg, just as Kong Neng said.

But the scary part is that he can actually use his hands and feet to crawl on the ground as fast as a spider, and even bounce forward from time to time.

It is even more bizarre when encountering places with trees. You can grab the tree trunk with one hand, or rely on the jumping power of one leg to directly climb to the top of the tree, and then fly a longer distance.

At first Wang Mingqian thought it was a person, but as he chased it, he felt that it looked more like a monkey wearing clothes and with its hair shaved off.

Just as the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther and they were about to lose each other, the thug in front suddenly stopped. He seemed to want to break the chain in his hand, but the chain was made of unknown material and did not break even after he pulled it several times.

This sudden turn of events cheered up Wang Mingqian, who was already short of breath. He gritted his teeth and sped up again to catch up.

The thug seemed to have some mental problems. He kept fiddling with the chains that bound his hands. Even though the distance between him and Wang Mingqian was getting closer and closer, he still stood there and tried to tear the chains apart again and again.

Seeing that the distance between the two was less than five feet, Wang Mingqian grasped the hilt of the knife with his right hand, drew the knife with a "swish" and jumped up, with the blade heading straight for the murderer's head.

'Ding! '

The knife that he chopped down with all his strength was blocked by the iron chain. The sound of metal collision and friction made his ears numb, but what made Wang Mingqian even more confused was the eyes of the murderer.

It was like an unconscious evil ghost crawling up from the underworld. It was too close, and the fishy smell was so strong that it choked his nose. The pungent smell made his eyes sting. Before he could react, the monster swung its hand and threw him to the ground. The force was so great that he spit out blood.

Is this strength really human?

Before he could think, the smell of blood seemed to give the monster a great stimulation. The monster, which was originally a little clumsy in movement, became excited in an instant and jumped high like a monkey. The one foot without shoes and socks, which was a circle larger than that of an ordinary man, became bigger in his eyes and was about to fall on his head in the next moment.

"call out!"

At the critical moment, a sound of breaking air was heard, and a long sword flashed with cold light, rushing towards the monster's face with huge force. The monster raised his upper hand again and wanted to use the chain to block the attack, but was knocked to the ground by the long sword instead.

Wang Mingqian covered his chest and was about to turn his head when a figure passed over his head so fast that it almost left an afterimage. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and then he felt himself "moving".

He was kicked backwards more than four feet.

The man's movements were smooth and seamless, without a single pause or unnecessary delay. While kicking Wang Mingqian away from the battlefield, he caught the long sword with his right hand and continued speaking without missing a beat: "Wang Hui, you haven't made any progress at all in your skills."

Wang Mingqian, who was kicked and rolled on the ground with his hands covering his butt and hadn't figured out what was going on, felt relieved instantly when he heard this familiar, sarcastic voice - he knew it!

This familiar force, this familiar way of kicking!

"Cui Yi! Can't you just hit him?" He had to kick him! I kicked him, but couldn't you be a little gentler?

At this time, Cui Bianxu had no time to argue with him. It was because this strange monster, which looked like neither human nor figure, was indeed stronger than he had expected.

The two sides exchanged more than ten moves in a short period of time. Cui Bianxu was naturally not injured, but the monster was very cunning. He would use the iron chain to block every attack, trying to break the iron chain with Cui Bianxu's knife.

When the first blow landed on the chain, Cui Bianxu discovered his intention, and he was extremely careful with every attack thereafter. This made it more difficult for him to strike the opponent than usual because his hands were restrained.
