Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 77 Tongbao Bank
Huang Sixi followed all the way.

Soon he caught up with the bearded Du Laosan and the young man in black, and the two of them found an inn in the city to stay temporarily.

Huang Sixi wanted to find the Purple and Green Swords of Kongtong Sect through the two of them, so he also booked a room in the inn and stayed next to them.

Before entering the inn, in order to prevent his identity from being recognized by the two men, Huang Sixi disguised himself as an old man in his sixties.

After the two checked into the inn, they stayed there for half a day, and only came out of the guest room at dusk to have dinner in the lobby.

They chose a seat by the window to eat.

Huang Sixi also followed and sat down at the next table.

During this time, Huang Sixi discovered that the two people looked up from time to time and looked through the windows at the buildings on the other side of the street.

Huang Sixi also looked over there and saw that the building was luxurious and imposing. There were three doors in total, all of which had plaques hanging on them, and there were shining gold characters on the plaques.

The plaque on the right reads "Kaiyuan Sanjiang", the plaque on the left reads "Tongda Bafang", and the middle plaque is slightly higher and reads "Tongbao Money House".

The young man in black recognized the sign of Tongbao Bank and could not help but sigh: "Zhang Dajing, the owner of Tongbao Bank, is the richest man in the world. He has opened 170 branches in various places. His family assets are huge and he is rich enough to rival a country. The money he has accumulated is more than his descendants can spend even if they have ten generations."

Bearded Du Lao San showed disdain on his face and snorted, "What's the use of having more money? Zhang Dajing may be able to earn it, but he may not be able to spend it!"

The young man in black didn't understand what he meant: "Third brother, what do you mean? Did Zhang Dajing encounter any misfortune?"

Du Laosan shook his head: "It's not a disaster! It's that Zhang Dajing is disabled. Both of his legs are paralyzed. He has to rely on a sedan chair to travel. He can't walk at all. He doesn't have much time left to live!"

"That's really pitiful!"

"He is the richest man in the world, he doesn't need your pity!"

Du Laosan sneered: "It is said that Zhang Dajing has issued a bounty to the Jianghu, the bounty is as high as 100,000 taels of gold, do you know what he wants to buy?"

The young man in black was surprised and asked, "What are you buying? Is there anything in the world that is worth 100,000 taels of gold?"

Huang Sixi heard this nearby and thought that only Rama's body was worth this price.

Du Laosan is well-informed and revealed to the young man in black: "What Zhang Dajing wants to buy is Rama's body! It is said that Rama's body can regenerate destiny and make up for the defects. Zhang Dajing wants to use Rama's body to cure his paralysis!"

Rama's body is famous.

In fact, the young man in black had heard of it: "Third brother, can Rama's body really regenerate good fortune and make the disabled recover? Why do I feel it is unreliable!"

Du Laosan couldn't answer either. He guessed, "I haven't seen Rama's body, so I don't know if it's as miraculous as the legend says. But Zhang Dajing is willing to offer 100,000 taels of gold for it, so Rama's body should be worthy of its reputation."

The young man in black said, "Zhang Dajing is rich enough to rival a country. One hundred thousand taels of gold is nothing to him. Maybe he just wants to spend money to buy a wish."

"If Zhang Dajing was the only one searching for Rama's body, he might have spent the money for fun, but..."

Du Lao San changed the subject and said, "The Prime Minister Zhang Haiduan was also searching for Rama's body. Zhang Haiduan held the power of the world. He did find half of Rama's body, but unfortunately, he got into trouble because of it. A few months ago, his family suffered a disaster and the body was stolen by someone."

"Oh my god, even the Prime Minister of the world can't protect Rama's body?"

The young man in black turned his head and looked at the sign of Tongbao Bank: "Zhang Dajing is the richest man in the world. He is good at business, but he doesn't know how to wield power. His ability should be a little worse than that of the Prime Minister. Even if he buys Rama's body, it is estimated that it will be difficult to preserve it!"

The young man in black was guessing blindly, but he guessed right.

After Rama's body was divided into two parts, the upper half was originally in the hands of Zhang Haiduan, the prime minister of the world, and was later obtained by Xiyu.

The lower half is in the hands of Zhang Dajing, the richest man in the world, and will soon be stolen by the purple and green swords of Kongtong Sect.

Huang Sixi heard Du Lao San and the young man in black talking about Zhang Dajing, and suddenly thought: "The Purple and Green Swords rushed to the capital just to use the fake Rama's body to make a deal with Zhang Dajing.

Zhang Dajing had the lower half of the body in his hand, and he offered a reward of 100,000 taels of gold in order to buy the upper half so that the body could be made complete and a cure for the paralysis could be found from it.

The Purple and Green Swords wanted to get something for nothing, so they forged a half-fake body, and then made an appointment with Zhang Dajing to snatch the real thing from Zhang Dajing. The transaction took place in Tongbao Bank. Could it be that the Purple and Green Swords would show up in the bank tonight?"

The more Huang Sixi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Du Laosan and the young man in black have been tracking the Purple and Green Swords. They chose to stay near the Tongbao Money House because they must have found out that the Purple and Green Swords had appeared nearby.

that's the truth.

I only heard Du Lao San ask suspiciously: "These days, that couple has been lingering around the bank. I wonder what they are up to?"

The young man in black lowered his voice and asked, "Could they be scouting out the area? Do they want to do something in the bank?"

Du Lao San sighed: "No matter what they want to do, I am injured now and can't deal with them."

Even if Du Laosan had not been injured, he and the young man in black would not be able to take down the purple and green swords together.

Du Laosan said angrily, "I hope that if they really go to the bank to commit a crime, it would be best if Zhang Dajing's guards kill them."

By this time, dinner was over.

Du Laosan returned to the guest room with the help of the young man in black.

Huang Sixi continued drinking until it was dark, then he quietly slipped out of the inn and took a walk around the Tongbao Money House.

After scouting out the terrain, he climbed up a sycamore tree outside the village and hid at the treetop.

At this moment, he was in a high position with a wide field of vision. Using the moonlight, he could monitor every move at the door of the money house.

Wait until the hour of Hai.

Two men and women in Taoist robes came to the door of the bank and knocked on it.

After a while, several guards came out and asked:

"Purple and green swords?"

After confirming the identities of the male and female Taoist priests, several guards said:
"Please come in, Taoist priests. The host is waiting for you in the hall!"

Then he brought the purple and green swords into the manor.

At this time Huang Sixi knew that his guess was correct, and the Purple and Green Swords really came to Tongbao Money House to make a deal with Zhang Dajing.

He immediately performed the "Climbing Clouds and Riding Dragons" technique, flipped through the air from the treetops, and gently landed on the roof of Tongbao Money House.

He lifted a few tiles and found candles lit in the lobby of the bank.

There is a long table in the middle of the lobby.

There is a chair at the front of the long table. This chair is specially equipped for disabled people. Dozens of guards with swords stand around the chair to closely protect the person in the chair.

From this, it can be seen that the elegant middle-aged man sitting in the chair should be Zhang Dajing, the owner of Tongbao Money House.

At the other end of the long table stood two Taoists, undoubtedly the Purple and Green Swordsmen of the Kongtong Sect.

It is said in martial arts that the Purple and Green Swords are a master and apprentice pair. The master is Kongtong Purple Sword, who looks to be in his forties or fifties, and the apprentice is Kongtong Green Sword, who is about twenty or thirty years old.

There was a large wooden box on the table.

The lid of the box had been opened, and it was filled with pure gold ingots.

Zhang Dajing pointed to the wooden box and said, "One hundred thousand taels of gold, plus one million taels of silver notes redeemed by more than one hundred Tongbao money houses across the country. The reward is not a penny less. It's all here. You can check it at will!" This was the reward issued by Zhang Dajing himself. He was really rich and was willing to pay.

He would reward anyone who brought half of Rama's body.

He looked at the purple and green swords and urged, "Where's the body? Bring it out quickly so I can see if it's real!"

Across the table, Kongtong Zijian was picking up the ingots and pretending to check the gold and silver notes.

Hearing Zhang Dajing's words, he gave Kongtong Qingjian a look.

Kongtong Qingjian immediately took off the package on her back. She opened the package, revealing half of Rama's body with a head.

The authenticity of the body is currently unknown and also needs to be verified.

Kongtong Qingjian handed the body over to Zhang Dajing.

Zhang Dajing held up the body with both hands, his face suddenly excited: "Hurry!"

He signaled to the guards around him to take out the other half of the real body from the cabinet under the chair.

He needs to piece the two halves of the body together to verify its authenticity.

He had waited for this day for too long, even to the point of madness, and kept repeating: "Blindness can be restored, lost teeth can be regained, and lost legs can be regrown! As long as I can stand up and walk again, it's worth it even if I lose everything I have!"

Zhang Dajing placed the two parts of the body on the table.

From the appearance, the two halves of the body are similar in color, but they cannot be put together at the waist.

Zhang Dajing was immediately furious: "No! This body is fake, fake! Kill! Kill them!"

He waved his hand violently, signaling the guards around him to take action.

But tonight, the Purple and Green Swords came prepared and jumped onto the long table before the guards.

The Kongtong Purple Sword rushed along the table and arrived in front of Zhang Dajing in the blink of an eye. It pushed aside the guards on both sides of the chair and stabbed Zhang Dajing's heart with the sword.

Kongtong Qingjian was also quick in her movements. She rushed straight to the two halves of the body, quickly wrapped them up with her bag, and neatly carried them on her back.

The master and disciple cooperated very well. After snatching the body, they immediately joined forces to rush out.

Although there were dozens of guards on the scene, their martial arts skills were not very high and they could not withstand the combined sword attack of the master and his apprentice.

However, just as the master and disciple rushed to the door, they suddenly saw two other figures falling into the hall.

These two men had been lurking in the lobby for a long time. When Zhang Dajing was trading with Ziqing Shuangjian earlier, they had not shown up until they confirmed the true appearance of Rama's remains, and then they rushed out.

Their dress was also strange. One of them wore a linen shirt and held two short spears, while the other wore a colorful costume and held two swords.

Huang Sixi was perched on the roof and could not see their faces, but he still recognized their identities from their weapons. These two people were actually the Black Stone killer Lei Bin and the color juggler Lian Sheng.

They have been tracking the whereabouts of Rama's body for years. They must have learned about the transaction between the Purple and Green Swords and Zhang Dajing, so they came to scout the area and try to reap the benefits.

There were flying needles wrapped around Lei Bin's wrist. The moment he appeared, he fired one needle forward, which pierced into Kongtong Qingjian's calf from behind, causing Kongtong Qingjian to pause for a moment, half-kneeling on the ground, unable to get out of the door anymore.

The colorful juggler Lian Sheng immediately swung his two swords, and with a "whoosh!" sound, two flames ignited on the blades. He advanced in a staggered manner, one sword slashed at Kongtong Qingjian's shoulder, and the other sword lifted high, throwing the package of Rama's remains on Kongtong Qingjian's back into the air.

Kongtong Purple Sword was originally leading the way, but when he heard the movement behind him, he instantly looked back, swung his sword in his backhand, and inserted it into the knot of the package. He then made a spin in the air, blocked the flaming knife, and picked up the package into his arms.

"Hehe, Kongtong chain swords, well done!" The juggler quickly stepped forward and tried to grab the package again.

But Kongtong Zijian was not interested in fighting. As soon as he got the package, he ran out without staying for a moment.

At this time, Kongtong Qingjian had already pulled out the flying needle and stood up again. She saw Zijian going away and couldn't help but get anxious. She shouted from behind: "Wait for me..."

She hadn't finished her voice yet.

The juggler Lian Sheng and Lei Bin leaped to her left and right parallel to each other. Lian Sheng slashed with his sword, cutting into her lower abdomen. Lei Bin pinched his fingers and a flying needle popped out, piercing her temple.

The two moves were launched almost simultaneously, causing Kongtong Qingjian's cry to stop abruptly, and he fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

Lian Sheng and Lei Bin didn't even look at her body. They rushed forward and continued to chase Kongtong Zijian.

The battlefield soon extended from the lobby to the front yard of Tongbao Money House.

Huang Sixi stood on the rooftop monitoring the battle situation. He saw Kongtong Zijian running wildly in front, and Lei Bin and Cai Xishi Liansheng chasing behind.

He picked up a tile, threw it into the air, then gathered all his strength and slapped the tile with his palm.

The tiles instantly turned into dozens of pieces of rubble, shooting down from the roof and covering an area of several feet around Lei Bin and Lian Sheng.

All of these pieces of gravel had edges and were as powerful as hidden weapons. Lei Bin and Lian Sheng had to stop and defend themselves.

Lei Bin used his Qinggong skills to jump back quickly and was not hit by the rubble.

Liansheng swung his cloak in an attempt to block the attack, but the gravel pierced through his cloak and pierced into his body.

"Ah! What a poisonous hidden weapon!"

Lian Sheng fell on his back, his body covered with bloody wounds.

Lei Bin frowned slightly, stared at Huang Sixi on the roof, and suddenly swung his arms violently, firing several flying needles at Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi waved his sleeves and the flying needles immediately turned around and attacked back.

Lei Bin was startled and tried to dodge, but there were two crisp "bangs!" and more tiles were smashed into pieces by Huang Sixi, falling on all sides of Lei Bin like arrows.

Lei Bin had nowhere to hide and had to fight hard.

In the dark night, he couldn't tell which were the flying needles and which were the gravel. He hurriedly raised his arms to protect his head, and a burning pain instantly spread throughout his body.

He fell to the ground sideways, blood gushing out of his body. His injuries were even more serious than those of Lian Sheng.

If another wave of attacks landed on the roof, he felt he would be dead for sure.

Since his debut, he had never encountered such a helpless situation, which made him tremble with fear.

Fortunately, the noise on the roof soon died down.

Lei Bin moved his arms away and looked towards the roof. Huang Sixi was no longer there. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he had survived a disaster.

I was thinking anxiously: "That man must have gone after Rama's body. If there is no body, my life would be in danger today! Who is that man? His martial arts skills are so strong that even the Chakravartin is probably not his match!"

"Lei Bin, get up quickly! Go after Kongtong Purple Sword!"

The juggler Lian Sheng was only hit once by tiles and stones and did not engage in a head-on fight with Huang Sixi. He was still thinking about tracking down Rama's body.

Lei Bin had no intention of pursuing, but he did not remind Lian Sheng. He sat cross-legged on the ground and said calmly, "Brother Lian, go ahead. I'll be right back after a while!"

He did not do this on purpose, but he did not want to show any cowardice, otherwise he would be blamed by the Chakravartin later.
