Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 76 Infiltration
The speed at which the situation changed was beyond the imagination of Zhao Yehe, who was watching from a distance.

He was still worried about Zhao Yifu, but the situation had changed.

The rat demon who was casting a spell suddenly had his face covered in ink, his eyes turned black and he could not see anything, so naturally he could not continue casting the spell.

Zhao Yifu didn't have to worry about lightning falling on his head, and he went straight to confront the giant rat man.

A mere mouse actually dares to compete with the terrifying upright ape in strength?
Anyway, at this time, Zhao Yifu's muscles all over his body also swelled up. When he swung out his left claw, he tore the sharp claws of the giant rat man with great ferocity.

The giant rat was stunned. At this moment, it felt a terrible threat from the top of the food chain.

That’s right, small animals can become spirits through cultivation, but what about humans?
There is no reason why small animals would gain greater enhancements after practicing than humans.

Anyway, this giant rat man experienced the "Crane Claw Grappling Hand" of Shenhe Villa in its entirety.

After this complete set of movements, the mouse's bones and muscles were naturally broken, and the whole mouse was twisted beyond recognition, unable to move at all.

Then he quickly walked over to the rat demon that was struggling to support itself on the ground and was trying to pull out the Pure Yang Copper Sword bit by bit. He reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword and helped it pull the sword out.

Of course the sword was pulled out, but the wound was also torn open in an instant.

To be honest, this is a place where he needs to learn a lesson.

Because he paused before drawing his sword, his sword was locked by someone.

His sword movements were extremely fast, but the speed of sword retraction should also be taken into account.

He retracted the sword without any pause, twisting his body and throwing the sword out again.

The rat demon with ink on his face was running away with his head in his hands.

But at this moment, a sword spun across the air and directly cut off its head.

In this way, the battle was completely completed.

Zhao Yifu breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Zhao Yehe, who was hiding in the bushes over there, "Third Uncle, you can come out now."

Zhao Yehe walked out, his expression still showing shock.

He said, "Is this the strength of a top-notch expert?"

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "No, a true top-notch master should be able to do much better than me. After all, I still lack experience, and I was too embarrassed just now."

Zhao Yehe disagreed. He said, "No, I don't think even a top-notch expert can do better than you."

"Just take the thunderbolt summoned by the rat demon as an example. If you hadn't responded appropriately, even a top-notch expert would have been doomed."

Although Zhao Yifu disagreed, he felt that there was no need to argue with his uncle on this issue.

According to his thinking, he was definitely not as good as those real top-notch masters. He was far behind in both the accumulation of true energy and combat experience.

But what Zhao Yehe said might be correct, because ordinary top-notch masters might not have the knowledge and means to deal with spells.

He took back the Pure Yang Copper Sword from the severed body of the rat demon, and shook it twice to get rid of the blood beads on it.

Then he wrapped the sword with a piece of cloth.

This sword is not without a scabbard. After all, it was taken out from the Danqing Sect's armory, so the items are naturally complete.

However, the scabbard was pure white and inlaid with gems, which was really too conspicuous. Zhao Yifu usually did not carry it.

At this time, one of the two giant rat men gradually lost his voice because his stomach was ripped open by Zhao Yifu, and the other one was unable to move because his tendons and bones were broken.

Zhao Yehe walked over and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Jun Xin, is it useful for you to keep this rat demon?"

Zhao Yifu said fearlessly, "Under normal circumstances, I could take it home and use it as a toy for my cats, but forget it now."

Zhao Yehe immediately had a lot to complain about, but he didn't know where to start.

He could only say, "It's better not to bring dangerous things home."

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "Uncle, please give this mouse a ride."

Zhao Yehe nodded cautiously. This was actually what he expected.

He really wanted to kill a monster to practice... Well, he would never admit that he was envious because Wu Zhong had picked up the head of that top-notch master last time.

"Click~"

Zhao Yehe used all his strength to twist the giant rat man's neck.

He sighed and said, "This thing is so hard to kill. If I were to encounter it, I'd probably die in one blow."

Zhao Yifu said, "They're not very fast. Uncle San will just have to run if he encounters them."

Zhao Yehe was a little unconvinced, but he knew that this was truly good advice.

He said, "Never mind. Uncle San is becoming more and more useless."

I actually felt old.

This time, he was indeed becoming less and less confident in front of Zhao Yifu.

Zhao Yifu said, "Don't worry, Third Uncle. I'll give it some thought. I should be able to develop a complementary Qigong technique based on our Crane Claw Grabbing Technique."

"By then, as long as you can integrate the internal energy in your body, it might not take long before you can reach the realm of a first-class master."

Zhao Yehe laughed when he heard this and said, "How can it be that easy?"

"We can't stay here anymore. We have to pack up and leave overnight."

"But this is also good. With you, Jun Xin, we don't have to fear those dangers. And we can find the second brother quickly to explain the situation."

Zhao Yi Fu nodded, packed up his things and set off overnight.

The bodies of the four rat demons were also searched, but unfortunately, nothing was found except a bag of unidentifiable herbs in the pocket of the rat demon that could cast spells.

One has to complain that these rat demons are so poor.

After traveling all night, they didn't encounter anything strange.

Perhaps because they had just carried out a massacre, the murderous aura of both Zhao Yifu and Zhao Yehe was extremely intimidating to those monsters.

When the morning sun rose from the horizon, a water fort built on the mountain and next to the water appeared in front of the two people.

The water fort was still quiet, and it was obvious that the pirates inside had not yet gotten up.

But there's something wrong with the layout of this water fort...

Zhao Yehe had already said, "Why are there so many red cloths hanging? Is someone getting married?"

Zhao Yifu didn't think much about it. He looked at the sky and suddenly started to act weird... no, perform magic.

Thick fog drifted out from around him and then covered the water fort...

This is the secret art of Mirage. In his opinion, it is simply a magical skill to change the environment.

And because there is plenty of water here, he doesn't consume much energy when casting spells.

"Okay, we can avoid being discovered if we go in this way."

Zhao Yehe said: "But we can't see clearly like this."

Zhao Yifu said, "I'm here, just follow me."

To be honest, Zhao Yehe's role as a guide is no longer of any use here. He is really of no use.

They quietly walked into the water fort, only to find that the situation inside was beyond their imagination... Everyone was fast asleep, and many people even fell asleep on the road outside.

Even the sentries had fallen asleep, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the water fort.

"Someone got here before us?"

Zhao Yifu was surprised.

Zhao Yehe was startled and quickly took Zhao Yifu to the water fort, saying, "I remember my second brother's house is over here. Let's go check it out..."

However, Zhao Yifu pulled Zhao Yehe to stop because he met an acquaintance on the way.

That is Hong Shu, who is wearing a bright red wedding gown but looks hurried!

She was running out from somewhere in the center of the water fort. "Sister Hong!"

In the fog, Zhao Yifu was the first to shout.

The red bundle's expression changed, and he quickly moved closer, saying, "Jun Xin? Why are you here?"

As they got closer, Zhao Yehe also noticed her and asked in surprise, "Sister Hong, why are you wearing that?"

Hong Shu rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to explain any further.

Zhao Yifu then added some explanation: "Sister Hong is truly a heroine. She actually came up with such a plan to get into a dangerous situation... I just wonder if she can find Second Uncle?"

Zhao Yehe asked in surprise: "What happened to Second Brother?"

Hong Shu said, "It's quite troublesome. I searched this damn place all night but couldn't find where Gu He was imprisoned."

Then she looked at Zhao Yehe angrily and said, "You idiot, your second brother hasn't contacted home for more than a month and you don't feel anything?"

"I returned to Shenhe Villa three days ago and rushed here immediately after learning about this. It took me two days to trick that old man into a simple wedding so that I could drug him."

"But I didn't expect that even after I defeated everyone, I still couldn't find the second brother..."

Zhao Yifu thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Sister Hong, you were alone before, but now we are many. Do you have any ideas?"

Hong Shu took a deep breath and said, "Yes, if the second brother Gu He is not dead, then there is only one place where he can hide."

"where?"

Zhao Yehe asked impatiently.

Hong Shu said, "Kuanglan Dao He Du's house."

Kuanglandao Hedu is the leader of this group of pirates.

To be honest, no one in Shenhe Villa paid much attention to him before, because he was just a second-rate master.

But Hong Shu's solemn mention of this made Zhao Yifu take it to heart.

He asked, "Sister Hong, is there anything wrong with He Du?"

Hong Shu nodded and said, "His cultivation is much higher than I expected. I suspect he has already reached the realm of a first-class master."

Zhao Yehe didn't care about that. He said, "No matter what he is now, we are going to his room to find my second brother. We are not afraid even if he is a top-notch master!"

He is very confident.

Zhao Yifu, who was his source of confidence, nodded and said, "That's right, let's go."

As he said that, he asked Hong Shu to lead the way, and then they walked together towards the house of the boss He Du.

"Keep your voices down. I'm not sure how long my medicine can control that guy."

Hongshu said cautiously.

Zhao Yifu complained: "They've already knocked him unconscious, why not just poison him?"

Hong Shu glanced at him and said, "I am a doctor, not a butcher."

Zhao Yifu was quite surprised, then nodded in understanding and stopped talking.

He could indeed understand that people always have to have their own persistence, and people with their own persistence have unique charm.

But when they arrived at He Du's room, they found it was completely empty...

Hong Shu's face turned pale. She said, "He Du has woken up!"

Then she gritted her teeth and said, "Now that things have come to this, we need to search quickly. At least we need to confirm whether the second brother is still alive!"

Zhao Yifu was shocked by her decisiveness.

A normal person’s reaction would be to run away, right?
But Hongshu did the opposite.

Why is this?

Actually, if you think about it carefully, can you really run away even if you want to?
Since He Du has already woken up, he might have already prepared an ambush.

In that case, we might as well find Zhao Guhe first.

Of course, there is also trust in Zhao Yifu's ability.

This is what is meant by "the more skilled you are, the bolder you are."

Everyone simply started searching indiscriminately.

But it was actually very easy to find the place. At least as soon as everyone started searching, Yiyi jumped out of Zhao Yifu's sleeve, sniffed left and right, and then kept clapping its paws on the floor.

This time, Zhao Yifu didn't need to say anything more. Zhao Yehe walked over and stomped his foot heavily...

"Boom~"

The floor shattered, revealing a passage leading downwards.

"Secret passage... Second brother must be in the secret passage!"

Zhao Yehe said with a serious expression and some surprise.

Zhao Yifu said, "I'll go in first, and you guys follow behind."

Hong Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I stay outside?"

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "No, we can't separate now, otherwise we will be defeated one by one."

"I see air convection in this passage. It must have another exit. This must be the escape route that He Du dug for himself."

"I guess He Du doesn't have time to make arrangements to block both ends now."

Hong Shu thought this made a lot of sense and couldn't help but look at Zhao Yifu with more respect, saying, "As expected of a scholar, he's bold but careful."

The three of them entered the secret passage one after another.

The secret passage was not spacious, at least Zhao Yifu felt a little crowded walking in it.

In some places, he could only pass sideways, and his chest muscles would be pinched from time to time.

And every time this happened, Hongshu who was following behind her would develop some strange competitive spirit and want to try to pass sideways to see if the width was right... Unfortunately, she was able to pass through without any hindrance every time.

That's really annoying.

Later, she simply stopped turning sideways and just passed through normally...

She just couldn't understand how loose the Confucian robe had to be to cover Zhao Yifu's broad body.

After a while, they smelled a foul odor.

It smells like something rotting.

Not long after, they came to a cell and stopped.

They saw that the person imprisoned in the cell was unable to speak for a long time.

This person looks terrible.

He was shirtless, with two hooks piercing through his shoulders and collarbones, hanging him on the wall so that he could not lie on the ground.

His hands and legs were also chained, and he couldn't move at all.

The foul smell came from this person.

He was still breathing, but the penetrating wounds on his shoulders were already oozing festering pus.

It's hard to imagine how he survived.

Zhao Yehe finally couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, is that you? Second brother?"

The man did not respond, and it was impossible for him to have the strength to respond.

But at this point, I'm afraid no one would doubt that this is the real owner...
