Chapter 674: Chapter 292 Heir of Heaven_2
Hidden Sword Hermit shook his head: “Paying cash and delivering goods simultaneously isn’t necessarily reliable. How about this: you give me the silver note, and I’ll hand over the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron to you. What do you think?”
Although naturally not worthy of trust, the old man kept nodding:
“It should be so.”
He walked forward while holding the silver, his gaze fixed on the silver note, his eyes filled with greed, no longer paying attention to anything else.
Along the way, the old man was extremely cautious.
As for the martial arts skills of the person in front of him, that’s another matter, but his tactics are so numerous that they’re hard to guard against.
The more he seemed to relax, without a trace of vigilance, the more it inevitably made one’s heart hang in suspense…
Finally, he approached Hidden Sword Hermit and passed over the silver note he held. Hidden Sword Hermit reached out to take it.
But then he instinctively looked at the old man:
“Could there be some deceit? Have you poisoned this silver note? And once I take it, will I be poisoned and die instantly?
Or perhaps, when I take this silver note, you’ll suddenly strike and try to take my life?
“If it’s the latter, then I must remind you.
“My martial arts skills are extraordinary. If you truly harbor this intention, I’m afraid you will die on the spot.”
…
The old man had no words to respond, only managing to say:
“Mister, please rest assured, my intentions are sincere and clear as day, without any malice.”
While speaking, his other hand secretly made a gesture.
The woman who had been silent all along also came forward, and after a moment already reached next to the table, smiling and saying:
“That’s right, we are here solely for the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, the Mister is a worldly expert, and we dare not offend…”
Hidden Sword Hermit nodded: “That makes sense.”
As he finished speaking, one hand rested on the armrest of the chair, the other reaching for the silver note.
However, the old man was slightly too far from him; he had to slightly stand up, thus both hands were removed from the armrest.
Seeing this, the woman hesitated no more, her toes flicked and she reached the table, taking the Iron from the table and holding it in her palm:
“You think I can’t recognize it? This is the refined Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, isn’t it?”
“Ahh!!”
Hidden Sword Hermit exclaimed in shock: “How could you do this? I haven’t received the money yet.”
“Hahaha.”
The old man laughed heartily, retracting the silver note and reaching towards Hidden Sword Hermit’s wrist:
“Mister is indeed talented, why not come with us?”
The woman took the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, and the old man grabbed Hidden Sword Hermit; both acted brutally at the same time.
But at this moment, the red-robed middle-aged man who had been silent and staring at the table suddenly shouted loudly:
“Watch out, retreat!!!”
“Huh?”
Prompted by his shout, the old man’s hand reaching towards Hidden Sword Hermit paused slightly.
Always cautious and preferring to plan before acting, since entering the Hidden Sword Hut, he had been led by the nose; hearing this sudden shout, he instinctively felt deception from Hidden Sword Hermit.
But at that moment, an intense heat wave suddenly swept through.
The old man turned around sharply to look at the table.
He saw intense flames spreading out from the edges of the table.
The woman was standing close by. The fire came silently, and by the time she turned around, she was already engulfed by the flames.
“Ah!!!”
She could not avoid instant death, her screams of extreme agony filled the air as she rolled on the ground in pain.
“Qingsi!”
The old man’s face changed drastically, but then noticed Hidden Sword Hermit’s fingertips suddenly moving, as if triggering something.
Without hesitation, he immediately leapt up.
Shoo, shoo, shoo!
Three cold arrows flew out swiftly from Hidden Sword Hermit’s sleeve, but the old man, having anticipated this, dodged in advance.
He looked back, his expression darkening:
“Cu Xin arrows!?”
“… You recognize them?”
Hidden Sword Hermit was startled, just to hear the old man bellow:
“Kill him!!”
As soon as these three words were spoken, the three White Robed Swordsmen who had not moved all along immediately sprang into action, their longswords aiming at Hidden Sword Hermit from three different directions.
Hidden Sword Hermit laughed loudly and slammed his hand on the armrest:
“Impermanence Rain Needle!”
Although the three White Robed Swordsmen were assassins from Hidden Killing Building and had been trained since childhood to be killing machines, they were not thoughtless puppets.
Having just witnessed the lethality of the Impermanence Rain Needle, with the Inquisitive Scholar and his companions all killed by this hidden weapon, who would dare to act rashly now?
Immediately, they hurriedly swung their swords, placing them defensively in front.
However, all was calm before them; where was the Impermanence Rain Needle?
In that moment of surprise, when they looked up again, they saw Hidden Sword Hermit somersaulting off the rocking chair and scurrying towards a thatched house almost on all fours.
“Out of tricks?”
Seeing this, how could the old man not understand?
And observing Hidden Sword Hermit’s movements and footwork, he was even more incensed; this person clearly did not know martial arts.
Immediately he bellowed: “Audacious!”
Each person in this group was a master.
The Store Manager originally wanted to acquire the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron without revealing his identity, preferring to make a silent fortune. Hence, he gathered a group of riffraff from Jianghu hoping to obtain the artifacts from Ji Shuhua’s hands.
