Chapter 216: Flesh Turns Into Armor, One Punch Breaks the Defense
This is a delicate and small key with a number faintly engraved on it.
Seven days.
"What is this?" Zhao Ya asked.
The woman shook her head and said with tears in her eyes: "I don't know either. My man gave this to me before and asked me to keep it safe."
For He Zhen to treat it so seriously shows the importance of this key.
Zhao Ya accepted the key, looked at the tearful woman, and sighed secretly in his heart.
This woman is not stupid, she should have guessed that her man will never come back.
"Do you have anywhere else to go in the city?" Zhao Ya asked.
The woman shook her head, "My hometown is in the countryside thirty miles outside the city. I have no relatives or friends in the city."
"Then take these two children and leave Yandu City quickly and go back to your home. Remember, don't mention your man to others, and don't come back."
Then Zhao Ya gave the woman some scattered silver coins. Although it was not much, it was at least enough for her to live in the future.
For this woman, giving her too much money would actually harm her.
The woman was naturally grateful and immediately started to pack her luggage, preparing to take her two children home for refuge.
Zhao Ya turned around and left.
He did not go out directly from the front door, but took a detour to an alley behind the alley, and then slowly walked towards the main street of Qinglongfang, pretending to be nonchalant.
While walking, Zhao Ya was thinking about what this key was.
Since it is a key, there must be a corresponding lock, but the problem is that Zhao Ya did not find any other clues except the Tianqi number engraved on it.
But Zhao Ya is not in a hurry, because this key is obviously closely related to the things hidden by He Zhen. Although he has no clue now, as long as he investigates He Zhen carefully, he may be able to find a breakthrough.
While he was thinking about it, Zhao Ya suddenly had an idea and glanced across the street at a stall selling fried tofu, fried dough sticks and other snacks.
There were several diners sitting at the stall. These diners were drinking tofu puffs while looking at the passers-by on the street.
This is actually not surprising. The key is that each of these diners is tall and tall. Although two of them are wearing long-sleeved clothes, they can still see the tattoos exposed on their wrists.
Not only that, although the few pedestrians chatting nearby seemed to be chatting and laughing, their eyes were always fixed on the alley.
When Zhao Ya passed by, these people's eyes instantly focused on him.
Zhao Ya knew clearly in his heart that it was probably the Sihai Gang who had arrived. He thought it was coming very quickly.
Although his heart was slightly shaken, there was nothing unusual on Zhao Ya's surface. He walked as easily as a pedestrian rushing to an appointment and quickly walked through the long street.
These people didn't notice anything unusual. They all looked back after Zhao Yajing left and continued to stare at the alley.
At the same time, after Zhao Ya turned the corner, he saw Chen Xiaoer hiding.
Chen Xiaoer looked anxious.
"My hero, something seems to be wrong. Not long after you entered, many unfamiliar faces appeared around you. I had no choice but to hide here for safety reasons. The news may have been leaked."
"Don't panic. We've got the stuff. If the news leaks, it'll be leaked."
Chen Xiaoer let out a long breath and said, "That's good, then what are we waiting for? Let's leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, you go first, I still have some things to do."
Still have something to do?
Chen Xiaoer was a little confused and didn't know what Zhao Ya was planning to do.
But since he said so, Chen Xiaoer naturally stopped insisting, so he nodded and said: "Okay, be careful, I'll leave first."
After Chen Xiaoer left, Zhao Ya found a hiding place, changed his clothes and put on the Yaksha mask, and then lurked quietly behind the group of stalkers.
With Zhao Ya's physical skills and level of breath control, these people naturally didn't notice at all.
Time passed like this little by little.
Soon, the time came to afternoon.
Qinglongfang became a little more lively, but the streets around the alley were extremely quiet.
Finally, a carriage drove slowly, breaking the tranquility around them.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, the carriage stopped, and then the curtains were lifted, and a tall and burly man walked out of it.
This strong man is more than two meters tall and has a lot of hair on his body. He really looks like a black bear that has become a sperm.
And he was holding a person in his hand.
This man had his head hanging down, blood was dripping continuously, and his limbs were limp. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured.
"Master Xiong Hai!"
These people who were watching quickly stood up and saluted.
The strong man nodded, "Is there anything unusual?"
"Back to Haizhu, I didn't find anything unusual. He Zhen's secret foothold should be here."
The strong man grinned, then grabbed the man's hair and lifted his head up.
"Which one is it specifically?"
The man said tremblingly: "The...most house."
"very good!"
Then the strong man casually dropped the man in his hand to the ground.
There was a loud bang.
The man let out a muffled groan, but then his moans stopped abruptly, because at this moment, the strong man stepped on his head, crushing his head to pieces.
His brains splattered all over the floor, but the strong man laughed happily.
"Damn it, I'm interrogating you personally, and you still dare to hesitate and delay?"
The deceased was the one who drank with Chen Xiaoer and revealed the news.
At that time, this person not only told this matter to Chen Xiaoer, but also to other people.
So the news soon reached the ears of Xiong Kun, the sea lord of Tianqinghai.
He made a decision at that time to arrest the person who spread the news and interrogate him strictly.
That's why he was only one step later than Zhao Ya.
After killing this person, Xiong Kun looked up at the alley, laughed grimly, and then strode in.
He and He Zhen were both one of the four sea lords of the Four Seas Gang, but their relationship was quite bad.
So when He Zhen died, he pretended to be sad in front of the big boss Huangfu Zhen, but in fact he was already very happy in his heart.
Later, Huangfu Zhen ordered a strict investigation of the murderer who killed He Zhen. Xiong Kun was only positive on the surface, but actually perfunctory.
What a joke.
How could someone who could kill He Zhen be an easy person?
If I really pursue it stubbornly, what if I get implicated again?
As the saying goes, it is better to die than to die. He Zhen deserved to die. I must not repeat his mistakes.
In fact, not only Xiong Kun thought so, but also Lang Songbai and Sheng Lianhua had the same idea.
He was just an ordinary gang colleague. Why are you playing with your life!
But when he heard about the wealth left by He Zhen, Xiong Kun was extremely positive in an instant.
Not only did he block the news at the first time, but he also rushed in person without stopping.
Xiong Kun knew that He Zhen had been the sea master of the Four Seas Gang for so many years, and his wealth must be extremely rich, so he was determined to get this windfall.
When he came to the door and was about to reach out to push the door.
Xiong Kun suddenly heard a thumping sound behind him.
Xiong Kun was born a bandit and had rich practical experience. He knew something was wrong when he heard the sound, so he didn't look back, but rushed into the door.
With a click.
The door and the door wall collapsed.
The woman, who had packed her luggage and was about to leave with her child, couldn't help but scream when she saw this.
Because this scene was too horrible.
Xiong Kun rushed in from outside the door, and the way he rushed around was really like a frightened black bear.
The woman was so scared that her face turned pale.
A trace of doubt flashed across Xiong Kun's eyes.
A woman, with two children?
Did he get into the wrong place?
Isn't this where He Zhen stayed?
But this is not the time to worry about these things.
With the power of this rush, he has activated all the blood and qi in his body, and the flesh on his body instantly turned into hard plate armor.
It was Xiong Kun's famous skill, meat-turned-armor.
Relying on this protection, Xiong Kun finally had some confidence and turned to look behind.
He saw several people lying horizontally and vertically in the alley, all of whom were his men.
You know, although these people don't have much skills, most of them are warriors in the third realm, and some who have followed for many years have reached the fourth realm.
But at this moment, all these people were lying on the ground without making any sound.
Seeing this scene, Xiong Kun couldn't help but take a breath.
Being able to knock down so many people silently, Xiong Kun instantly thought of the existence that had recently caused Sheng Lianhua to suffer a great loss,
As expected.
Just as he was hesitant, a figure appeared in the alley, wearing a Yaksha mask, with a burly figure, slowly walked towards him.
"Are you also here for He Zhen's money? How about this, I voluntarily withdraw, what do you think?" Xiong Kun hesitated for a moment, then said.
Zhao Ya didn't say anything, but continued to walk towards Xiong Kun.
Xiong Kun seemed to be afraid, and his eyes were even more wandering.
But when Zhao Ya walked to the door, Xiong Kun suddenly jumped up and pounced on Zhao Ya like an angry black bear.
While in the air, Xiong Kun first hit a hidden weapon, trying to disturb Zhao Ya's sight, and then the casserole-sized fist slammed over.
Zhao Ya had expected this.
Xiong Kun had just deliberately said something weak in order to weaken his vigilance, and then suddenly attacked, trying to catch him off guard.
The whole strategy can be said to be vicious and sophisticated, which shows that Xiong Kun is not as rude and reckless as he seems on the surface.
But Zhao Ya's eyes could not hide these.
When the hidden weapon attacked, Zhao Ya slightly dodged and appeared behind Xiong Kun at a ghostly speed.
Xiong Kun knew it was not good, but he did not panic, but mobilized all the blood in his body to concentrate on his back.
In an instant, the flesh armor on his back gave off a lustrous iron-like luster.
At this time, Zhao Ya's fist also arrived.
After the two collided with each other, there was a loud bang, and Xiong Kun groaned in pain, and was shaken away a long distance. After stumbling to the ground, he did not dare to stop for a moment and ran out regardless of everything.
The power of this punch almost took his life and scared him.
Zhao Ya did not chase.
Although the punch just now broke Xiong Kun's defense, the recoil force also made Zhao Ya's blood boil, and his breath became slightly scattered.
However, at this time, the talent of the lungs was revealed. After just one breath, Zhao Ya felt that his blood and qi returned to normal.
But at this time, Xiong Kun had already run away, and he was too lazy to chase him.
This time, the purpose of this move was to weaken the strength of the Four Seas Gang. After all, he and the Four Seas Gang had already formed a deadly feud, and there would be a battle sooner or later. Now, weakening their strength as much as possible is also a preparation for the future.
The second is to help this mother and son.
If the woman had not taken the initiative to hand over the key, Zhao Ya would at most give her a reminder, and as for the rest, he could only leave it to fate.
After all, Zhao Ya and He Zhen were enemies, and he had already made it clear that he did not touch his family, and it would be a bit difficult to ask for help.
But the woman handed over the key obediently, and it seemed that she knew nothing about He Zhen's affairs, so Zhao Ya decided to help her.
Otherwise, she and the two children would not survive.
At this moment, Zhao Ya glanced at the trembling woman, turned around without saying a word, and disappeared behind the eaves.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then understood, and bowed in the direction of Zhao Ya's departure with gratitude, and then hurried away with the two children.
