Chapter 160 Changxing Inn (Part )
"Qin Ku?"
Old man Liu was stunned at first, and then a look of shock instantly surged onto his face. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Meihua's arm, and asked anxiously, "Daughter, what does this person look like?"
Hearing this, Meihua couldn't help but frown and said suspiciously: "He is fat and wide, with a lot of fat on his body, just like a pig waiting to be slaughtered in a pen." There was a lot of disdain in her words.
"Does this person have a knife?" Old Man Liu asked hurriedly with a serious look.
"Knife?" Meihua looked Qin Ku up and down and replied, "He did carry a knife."
"It's really him!"
Old man Liu, who had been calm and composed just now, was like a deflated ball. He instantly collapsed and cried out in despair, "Is it God's will that my father and I will die? First we ran into the 'Snow-robed Silver Dragon' outside Luoyang City, and now we run into the hemp-robed swordsman 'Ghost-Seeing Sorrow' here. It's over, it's over. My life is over! Alas!"
"Ghost-Seeing Sorrow?" Meihua asked in confusion, "Dad, who is Ghost-Seeing Sorrow?"
Old man Liu stretched out his trembling wrinkled hand, pointed directly at Qin Ku, and sighed, "Daughter, the man in front of you is the sixth-ranked master on the Dragon Elephant Ranking, Qin Ku. He calls himself the 'Sackcloth-robed Swordsman', and because of his superb swordsmanship and extraordinary martial arts skills, he is nicknamed 'Ghost-Seeing Sorrow'."
Qin Ku seemed to be quite indifferent to Old Man Liu's strong reaction. He showed Meihua a simple smile and nodded, saying: "It is I! Hehe..." At this moment, in Meihua's eyes, Qin Ku's smile was like the grin of the judge of hell, which was very terrifying.
"Dad, even if he is a martial arts expert, so what?" Meihua said stubbornly, "He looks so young and fat. Are you afraid that we can't defeat him even if we join forces?"
Old Man Liu smiled bitterly and said, "If Qin Ku was so easy to deal with, how could he be called 'Ghost-Seeing Worry'? This man is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also extremely strong. Don't be fooled by his bloated body, but when you fight him, you will know that his speed is far beyond the reach of you and me, and his strength is... a world of difference!"
"Really?" Meihua subconsciously moved back, looked at Qin Ku with doubtful eyes, and asked, "We have no grudges against you, do you really want to kill us?"
"You and your daughter have committed many evil deeds. Killing you will be considered as getting rid of the trouble for the martial arts world." Qin Ku still looked harmless and relaxed, and said with a simple smile, "More importantly, there is a reward of 1,000 taels of gold for killing you. It's hard for me not to be tempted. If it were you, if someone was willing to sell my head for 1,000 taels of gold, I'm sure you wouldn't even hesitate and would agree without hesitation, right? Hehe..."
"Really can't we discuss it?" Meihua's beautiful eyes turned, and she suddenly threw a meaningful wink at Qin Ku. At the same time, her right hand had quietly reached behind her.
As if touched by Meihua's eyes, Qin Ku shuddered suddenly and laughed dryly: "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you have such a way of bewitching people..."
"go to hell!"
Before Qin Ku could finish his words, Meihua suddenly attacked. In an instant, dozens of silver needles shot out from her sleeves, heading straight for the defenseless Qin Ku.
At this moment, they were all standing on the stairs, only a few steps away from each other. Therefore, dozens of silver needles were as fast as lightning, and before Meihua's cry fell, all the silver needles had flown in front of Qin Ku.
"bass!"
"Ding Ding Ding!"
In a flash, accompanied by the sound of a blade being unsheathed, a flash of silver light flashed through the air. At the same time, a series of crisp sounds of silver needles hitting the blade followed. In the blink of an eye, dozens of silver needles were knocked to the ground, and none of them could hurt Qin Ku.
"This……"
Qin Ku drew his sword, swung it, and knocked down the silver needles at a speed faster than the blink of an eye. Meihua couldn't even believe her eyes. She only felt a flash before her eyes, and before she could see anything clearly, her confident sneak attack had already ended in failure.
"A sneak attack?" Qin smiled bitterly at Meihua, who was stunned. He gently shook the long sword in his hand and said with regret, "It's a pity that the speed is too slow."
"you……"
"Run away!"
Without waiting for Meihua to speak, Old Man Liu suddenly shouted, grabbed Meihua's arm, paused, and immediately soared into the sky, jumping out of the stairs with Meihua and flying to the lobby downstairs.
"Oh!"
At the moment when Old Man Liu and his daughter flew away, a domineering sword wind swept over with the force of thunder.
In an instant, the entire staircase collapsed and turned into countless pieces of wood that flew everywhere, making the Changxing Inn a mess.
The inn's waiter fell down the collapsed stairs and his body hit a pile of wine jars. With a loud "crash", dozens of wine jars broke into pieces, and the wine spilled all over the floor, instantly filling the inn's lobby with a strong aroma of wine.
Looking at the guy again, his head tilted and he fainted completely.
"Oh! What a waste! What a pity!" Qin Ku looked at the wine jars with regret, and cried out like he had lost his parents.
"Zhengzhengzheng!"
Old Man Liu and Meihua in Feiluotang knew that they had no way to retreat today, so they decided to fight Qin Ku to the death.
Therefore, when Qin Ku was "sighing over the wine", the sound of Old Man Liu's piano suddenly came. The piano contained a murderous intent, and the strings were like a powerful crossbow, turning the sound waves into thousands of sharp arrows, shooting straight towards Qin Ku with a "whoosh".
"Clang clang clang!"
Facing the sonic attack, Qin Ku's huge body swayed left and right with extraordinary flexibility, and the long sword in his hand chopped left and right, accompanied by a sonic boom of golden swords and iron clanging. In the blink of an eye, Qin Ku had completely dissolved the internal strength hidden in the sound of the piano by the old man Liu.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Meihua took advantage of the situation and shot out a torrential rain of pear blossoms as her skirt flipped. Silver needles crisscrossed in the air, weaving into a dense needle net, which came towards Qin Ku in an overwhelming manner.
"call!"
Qin Ku chopped vertically with his knife, and a powerful internal force burst out from the knife, sweeping away half of the silver needles in front of him. Then he chopped horizontally with his backhand, knocking the other half of the silver needles to the ground.
"A mere trifle!" Qin Ku sneered viciously, and then stomped his foot with such force that he almost shook the entire inn. Qin Ku's huge body shot out like an arrow from a bow, breaking through the heavy music and hidden weapons at lightning speed, and rushed directly to Old Man Liu and Meihua.
A strong wind blew around Qin Ku, making the robes of Old Man Liu and his daughter rustle. Meihua's hair was blown into a dishevel, making her look extremely miserable.
"Remember, do less immoral things in your next life!"
Qin Ku shouted like a thunderbolt. At this moment, his face was as ferocious as a devil from hell, and he was completely different from the innocent and naive person just now. His shouting frightened the old man Liu to death, and Meihua turned pale and burst into tears. At this moment, the two of them only wished that they had grown a few more legs so that they could escape from here.
After saying that, Qin Ku raised his long sword without hesitation and chopped it down fiercely, intending to cut off their heads with one blow.
"call!"
"Oh!"
At the critical moment, a light sound suddenly came from outside the inn, and then a green sword came out of nowhere and hit Qin Ku's knife straight on it. The blade was caught off guard and deflected, brushing against Meihua and Old Man Liu's face and chopped off a few strands of hair on their foreheads.
Qin Ku frowned, and without paying attention to where the green sword came from, he turned his wrist and the blade chopped towards the necks of Old Man Liu and Meihua from bottom to top.
"Ghost, please spare his life!"
"Whoosh!"
With a clear shout, Song Yu, one of the four great masters of Jinjianwu, rushed into the inn. Seeing Qin Ku trying to kill him, he could not help but get anxious and quickly kicked the bench beside him. The bench immediately flew up and rushed towards Qin Ku.
Qin Ku was disturbed repeatedly and couldn't help feeling angry. He suddenly turned the blade and chopped it diagonally, splitting the bench in half, and the bench flew out to the left and right of his body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Man Liu and Meihua quickly fled, while Song Yu stepped forward and blocked Qin Ku's way.
"Who are you?" Qin Ku stared at Song Yu with displeasure.
"I am Jin Jianwu, Song Yu." Song Yu politely bowed to Qin Ku and said with a smile, "I wonder how the two of them offended Gui Jianchou, so that you are chasing them relentlessly?"
"No grudges or hatred." Qin Ku looked Song Yu up and down with contempt. Qin Ku always hated such well-dressed and sanctimonious hypocrites. He sneered and said, "I just want to take off their heads and exchange them for some wine money."
Hearing this, Song Yu was stunned and said with a wry smile: "If you want to drink, I will treat you. Why do you need to fight and kill?"
"Drinking also depends on people. I won't drink your wine." Qin Ku refused bluntly.
"Why?" Song Yu was stunned again. He had only heard of the "Ghost Seer" that everyone in the martial arts world feared before, and today was the first time he met Qin Ku. Therefore, he was amused by Qin Ku's strange temper and asked, "Did I have a grudge with you?"
"There is no grudge between us." Qin Ku waved his hand and snorted nonchalantly.
"Then why don't you want to drink my wine?"
"Because I don't like you." Qin Ku said bluntly, making Song Yu embarrassed. "I don't know why, but when I see you, I feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart."
"This……"
"But your head can't be exchanged for money, I'm too lazy to tangle with you." Without waiting for the embarrassed Song Yu to speak, Qin Ku had already pointed his knife at Old Man Liu and Meihua, staring at Song Yu with sinister eyes, and said coldly, "No one can save the people I want to kill!"
Song Yu glanced at the pale-faced Old Man Liu and Meihua, then turned to look at the odd-tempered Qin Ku, and said sternly, "What if I insist on protecting him?"
Qin Ku's eyes turned cold, and he sneered: "Either pay the money or pay your life!"
"Pay money? How much do you want?"
“Originally it was one thousand taels of gold, but for your sake, I won’t offer that price anymore.” Qin Ku stared at Song Yu, who had a puzzled look on his face, jokingly, then moved closer to him pretending to be intimate and said word by word, “Because you look so fucking annoying, I’m now asking for ten thousand taels of gold, not a copper penny less!” After saying that, under Song Yu’s uncertain gaze, Qin Ku suddenly grinned and laughed sinisterly.
When Qin Ku said this, Song Yu's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly, "How dare you play tricks on me?"
"What if I'm playing tricks on you?" Qin Ku snorted nonchalantly, then turned the long sword in his hand, pointed it directly at Song Yu, and said with a grim smile, "You can try it yourself!"
"you……"
"Mr. Song, since we have already arrived at Changxing Inn, why are you in such a hurry? I almost lost you."
Before Song Yu could say anything, a rough shout suddenly came from outside the inn. Then, Qin San from the Hexi Qin Clan walked towards the inn quickly, holding the Lieyang Knife in one hand and wiping the sweat from his forehead with the other.
Without waiting for Qin San to step into Changxing Inn, Qin Ku, who was originally full of murderous intent, suddenly changed his expression after hearing Qin San's voice. He then hurriedly sheathed his knife, leaped to the second floor, quickly rushed into the guest room, and disappeared.
"This..." Song Yu looked at Qin Ku in confusion, then turned to look at Qin San who was confused, and asked puzzledly: "Dear Third Master, you and he both have the surname Qin, do you know each other?"
"Who?" Qin San came in in a hurry and did not see the situation in the inn clearly, so he was stunned when Song Yu asked this question.
"Ghost-seeing sorrow, Qin Ku!"
As soon as Song Yu said this, Qin San's face suddenly changed. Then, under Song Yu's suspicious gaze, he kept turning his eyes hesitantly, looking a little hesitant and confused, even... at a loss.
After a long time, Qin San suddenly woke up after Song Yu called him repeatedly. He waved his hands in annoyance and said hastily, "The world is so big, there are so many people with the surname Qin, how can I know them all? I don't know the person you are talking about! I don't know him!"
