Detective Di Renjie: The Mysterious Dynasty

Chapter 274 Battle with Li Yuanfang
With a soft "click" sound, the iron plates that closed the doors and windows slowly rose up, and the door creaked open again.

Zhao Ji, dressed as a "viper", walked into the room, followed by two men dressed as waiters.

"Huh..." Kui Wenzhong actually stuck his head out of the burlap bag in a rather embarrassed posture, without any demeanor of a master.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Kui Wenzhong claimed to be the best fighter in the world, but he was put in the pockets of Li Yuanfang and Ruyan for almost a whole day and night. He looked really embarrassed.

Kui Wenzhong's gaze instantly locked onto Zhao Ji. The "viper" costume made a hint of surprise flash in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you wearing Viper's clothes?" he asked in a deep voice, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

Zhao Ji was very arrogant: "The people who help you!"

"Someone who helps me?" There was a flash of doubt in Kui Wenzhong's eyes.

Zhao Ji said without hesitation: "Someone is afraid that you can't defeat Li Yuanfang alone, so they sent me to help you."

As he spoke, he took out the jade token left by Yuan Tiangang and showed it to Kui Wenzhong.

Kui Wenzhong glanced at them but didn't buy it. He said coldly, "Not every Tom, Dick or Harry is qualified to interfere in the duel between masters. A low-level helper may only make things worse!"

Zhao Ji had expected such arrogant words. He would not be angry at first, but he pretended to be irritated at this moment.

He put the jade token away again and said in a cynical tone: "Haha, you are quite arrogant. You know what? You should thank me. If it weren't for me, you would have fainted like the girl on the ground."

"They will fill the whole room with smoke, and even you will not be immune. If you are infected by the smoke, how can you fight Li Yuanfang? Hmm?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Kui Wenzhong's expression changed slightly. He stood up and began to carefully examine the "viper" in front of him.

Judging from this man's breath, steps, and posture, Kui Wenzhong's many years of experience and his sense as a killer, he is not a simple character.

He waved his hand to signal the innkeeper and his men to proceed according to the original plan and take Ruyan away.

Turning to Zhao Ji again, Kui Wenzhong's tone became more serious: "Who are you? As far as I know, there is no one like you in the Snake Spirit in Liuzhou."

Zhao Ji's eyes gleamed, "Oh? How do you know that there is no one like me in Liuzhou?"

Kui Wenzhong was still sizing up Zhao Ji, trying to guess his identity, but he was very confident: "Of course I know that there are only a few experts on Xiao Qingfang's side or on the old master's side."

Zhao Ji deliberately imitated Hu Jinghui's tone, and the voice coming out through the mask was low and vague: "Maybe I am the exception."

When Kui Wenzhong heard this voice, he became even more puzzled: "You must have seen Hu Jinghui, I wonder if you can see his true face?"

Zhao Ji was in no mood to clear up Kui Wenzhong's confusion, so he opened his mouth to remind him, "I have no obligation to tell you my identity. Li Yuanfang is in the pharmacy now. If we delay for a while longer, he will react and run away..."

Kui Wenzhong was awakened from his dream when he heard this: "But you wore the disguise I prepared for me, what should I do?"

"Hehe, that's none of my business." Zhao Ji shook his head and laughed.

Zhao was deliberately trying to stir up trouble, so Kui Wenzhong's tone suddenly turned cold: "I see you are not here to help, but to cause trouble!"

Before he finished speaking, without any warning, two swallow-shaped arrows shot towards Zhao Ji like lightning.

The distance between the two men was only two steps. It seemed that Zhao Ji had no time to dodge and could only wait to die on the spot.

But Zhao Ji lifted up the wide robe sleeves of "Viper" servant, covered it lightly, and then held the two swallow bells firmly in his hands.

"With Brother Wen Zhong's hidden weapon, he is so deliberate and unintentional, so why bother disguising himself?" Zhao Ji spoke coldly, unwilling to suffer any loss.

Before he finished speaking, he threw the Swallow Clang back with his backhand at such a speed that it was hard to keep up with.

Kui Wen Zhong was no ordinary man. He drew his bamboo tube knife in an instant, two flashes of fire appeared, and Yan Zidang was accurately knocked away.

"Your reaction is good, but your hidden weapon skills are really not that good!" Kui Wenzhong got to know Zhao Ji again and nodded, "I take back what I said before. You are qualified to interfere in the fight between me and Li Yuanfang."

Zhao Ji sneered when he heard this. After serving as a Qianniu Guard for so many years, he was no longer used to attacking people with hidden arrows, so his technique was naturally not very good anymore.
-
In the pharmacy on the other side, Li Yuanfang also encountered an ambush.

From the four walls of the main hall, hidden arrows kept flying out from top to bottom, determined to turn the target in the middle of the house into a hedgehog.

Li Yuanfang leaped up, using his feet to gain leverage on the wall, his body swinging in the air. Hidden arrows whizzed past him and nailed into the walls on all four sides.

He showed the chain knife, and the mechanism moved, and the chain knife was inserted into the beam. Li Yuanfang activated the mechanism and flew up, reaching the blind spot of the hidden arrow attack.

With a loud bang, the walls on all sides shook again, and the bow and arrow seemed to adjust its angle and shot towards Li Yuanfang again.

Li Yuanfang quickly swung his sword to block the arrow and fell to the ground at the same time.

He pressed his finger on the hilt, and the chain knife flew out and inserted into the mechanism on the wall that fired hidden arrows. A scream was heard from the other side of the wall, and the arrow attack stopped immediately.

Li Yuanfang pulled out the chain and the knife at lightning speed, and flew the chain knife towards the second, third and fourth walls with incredible swiftness.

All that could be heard was continuous screaming and streams of blood flowing out of the python's mouth.

There was no movement in the pharmacy, and Li Yuanfang had no time to check the mechanisms inside the store. Instead, he hurried to the inn to meet Ruyan.

With a loud noise of breaking wood, the door of the pharmacy flew apart. Li Yuanfang strode out and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

The town, which was bustling just now, is now deserted. The bustling crowds seem to have disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only the wind whistled through the empty streets, stirring up clouds of dust.

Li Yuanfang raised his head and looked towards the end of the street. In the cloud of dust, he could vaguely see a human figure.

The figure slowly walked towards Li Yuanfang. Li Yuanfang clenched his teeth and couldn't help but clench the knife in his hand.

The figure came closer and closer, and finally stopped ten steps away from Li Yuanfang. He could see clearly that the man was wearing Viper Hu Jinghui's clothes.

Li Yuanfang's eyes widened and he asked in astonishment, "Who are you?!"

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and naturally didn't dare to say much. He just showed his weapon silently.

It was not a sword, but a scimitar as thin as paper, shining with a cold light, which was quite extraordinary.

"Why are you wearing viper's clothes?" Li Yuanfang asked again when Zhao didn't answer.

Zhao Ji held his breath and kept silent, his eyes stern, fixed on Li Yuanfang.

"You are such a coward. It seems that I have no choice but to capture you and see your true face!" Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and slowly pointed the knife to the ground.

Zhao Ji adjusted his breathing, relaxed his whole body, and stood there motionless, ready to take action at any time.

He also looked forward to having a real fight with Li Yuanfang.

The knife flashed a dazzling cold light in the sunlight, and the two men faced each other, motionless.

They are all waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the other party's flaw.

Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew over, passing between the two of them and raising a cloud of dust again.

With a flash of cold light, Li Yuanfang took the lead and attacked with force like thunder, with the chain knife heading straight for Zhao Ji's throat.

The mountain wind blew Zhao Ji's wide robe sleeves, but Zhao Ji didn't even blink, he just tightened the knife in his hand.

In a flash, the steel knife was already in front of Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji put the knife upright in front of his chest at the right time, and with a clang, he blocked Li Yuanfang's attack.

The two separated immediately and exchanged positions.

"Ah!" Perhaps because he was worried as a swallow, Li Yuanfang's desire to attack was particularly strong.

He did not turn around, but leaped backwards and flew towards Zhao Ji, and the chain knife stabbed Zhao Ji's back swiftly.

Zhao Ji slid to the side to avoid Yuanfang's knife. At the same time, he swung the steel knife in his hand diagonally, turning from defense to offense, and went straight to Li Yuanfang's back.

　I still don't feel well...
