Chapter 470: Closing the Stone Acupoint

The two men dodged the stones shot towards them, but two other people in the yard were hit by the stones and dragged into the card game.

When the two men saw their companion being attacked, they no longer cared about the code of conduct in the martial arts world. They picked up their weapons and started hacking at the millipedes, and eventually they all joined the battle.

Gu Qingyi originally wanted to come in, but then she heard what Ma Lu said.

"Leave this to me. You check the dyeing factory carefully to see if there are other people hiding here, and the lotus bowl."

Gu Qingyi hesitated a little when he heard this, but finally chose to believe Malu, crossed the front yard and rushed into the dyeing workshop.

After sending Gu Qingyi away, Malu looked at the four big men opposite him.

Their faces did look ferocious, and they were all big and strong, just like the bandits in Wohugang.

However, Malu did not see anyone with a red birthmark under his right ear, which made him feel a little depressed.

Could it be that the guy is still in the dyeing workshop? Wouldn’t Gu Qingyi be in danger if he rushed in?
But the game has already begun, and Malu can only resolve the current battle first.

Fortunately, Gu Qingyi's family martial arts are mainly defensive. Even if there are really bad guys in the dyeing workshop, as long as there are not many people, she should be able to hold on for a while.

While Malu was thinking, he had already received the first three cards. Since he had the first move, he drew two more cards.

First, he played a Fire Toad Force, which increased his Qi by 13 points, and then he spent another 5 points of Qi to play a Angry Vajra.

This is the third move of the Demon-Subduing Vajra Art, which can provide the millipede with 20 points of parry value and make it immune to all attacks with a power below 10 points.

It is very useful in group battles. Yan Wuji relied on this trick to fight against many enemies in the ruined temple.

Of course, the opponents he faced at that time were mostly porters from the escort agency and young disciples who had just started learning martial arts.

Malu didn't know the strength of the four opponents yet, so to be on the safe side he played another Bi Shiqiao move.

This move came from the Fossil Skill, another martial art that Malu had learned from the twins from Tongxin Sect before.

He spent 6 points of true energy to activate this protective card, and gained 21 points of parry and a state called Stone Hole.

In the Stone Aperture state, the meridians can no longer store true Qi. Conversely, when it is the opponent's turn to attack, if the moves used by the opponent are accompanied by true Qi, the power of the moves will lose 1.5 times the power of the attached true Qi.

Malu was lucky, as he drew both the Angry King Kong and the Stone-Clearing Acupoint cards in the first round.

Although these two cards do not come from the same martial arts, they are surprisingly compatible with each other.

The Demon Subduing Vajra Art can make one immune to moves with a power below 10 points, while the Stone Acupoint Closing Art can reduce the power of a move. If the power of a move after the reduction falls below 10 points, it will not cause any damage.

The only price is the loss of his true energy, but after defeating Malu with this set of skills, he only has 2 points of true energy left, and with the Ice Skin and Jade Body Technique and Fire Toad Power, he is not short of true energy now.

After using the Bi Shi Qiao move, Malu chose to end his turn.

However, the four people on the opposite side did not rush to attack. One of them, a big man with triangular eyes, a beard, and bronze muscles, spoke.

"Who are you? Why did you break into our dyeing workshop and attack us?"

Malu was too lazy to answer at first, but then he changed his mind and decided to trick the other party, so he lowered his voice and sneered, "Haha, can't you guess it?" The big man with triangular eyes frowned and said, "Please tell me clearly."

"You are too careless. The two detectives from the Iron Clothes Sect have already found you."

After saying this, Malu stared at the four people opposite him. Seeing the changes in their expressions, the pupils of the man with triangular eyes shrank suddenly, but their expressions soon returned to normal.

The man with the triangle eyes also shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Ma Ludao sneered, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to perform anymore. It seems that you don't know what went wrong. Well, I will teach you, so that you won't die unjustly."

He paused, then continued, "You pretended to be people from Happy Forest, set up a trap to make that Beggar Clan disciple owe a heavy debt, and forced him to steal the Lotus Bowl for you. You thought you did it perfectly, but you didn't know you had already exposed yourself.

"Two detectives from the Iron Clothes Gate questioned the croupiers at Happy Forest and found out that you had gone to Happy Forest a few days in advance to check out the area. A croupier also recalled that there were people from your group at the gambling table that day.

"Hehe, you are now being targeted by Shenbo Wen and Shenbo Yuan. It won't be long before they find their way to this dyeing factory."

This time, Triangle Eyes could no longer control the expression on his face. He showed a hint of regret, and then said expectantly.

"Then were you sent by the young master to lead us to another safe place to hide?"

"There is no safe place anymore," Malu shook his head. "Since you have been discovered, it is only a matter of time before you are caught. The young master sent me here to solve this problem."

"You're lying!" Triangle Eyes' eyes flashed with a fierce light when he heard this. "We are loyal to the young master. The young master will never hurt us. Who are you?! Forget it, no matter who you are, since you want to ruin the young master's plan, you must die today!"

"You are the ones who ruined the young master's business." Malu sneered, "I am only here to clean up the mess you left behind."

He felt that he was getting on the right track, and he was just one step away from finding out who was the mastermind behind this group of people.

However, the four people on the opposite side stopped talking and started fighting.

Moreover, the strength of their martial arts was beyond Malu's expectations.

Three of the four used sword techniques, and one used palm techniques. Even in the Stone Aperture state, which lost 1.5 times the power of the true Qi, the power of their moves was still above 10 points.

And when he saw their mental cards, Malu remained calm on the surface, but he let out a light exclamation in his heart.

Because what they used was actually the Beggar Gang's Dragon Catching Skill.

Although the Dragon Capturing Skill is not like the Xiantian Pure Yang Palm that only the gang leader can practice, it is one of the three unique skills of the Beggar Gang, and only the most important people in the gang are qualified to practice it.

But now this unique skill has been learned by these four guys whose origins are unknown and who knows where they came from.

Millipede would naturally feel strange, but now was not the time to talk about such things.

Even though he had more than 41 points of Parry, he still lost 27 points of Health under the combined attack of four people. Even with his current health, he was a bit hurt by this wave.

However, the good news is that these four people, whether because they have been practicing for too short a time or because they have limited aptitude for martial arts, have not practiced the Dragon Capturing Technique very well, and most of them are only at the second or third level.

Just now there was another fierce attack, which consumed a lot of energy. Some people even didn't have enough energy to activate the protective cards.
