Chapter 216 Flesh turns into armor, breaking defense with one punch

This is an exquisite and small key, with a number faintly engraved on it.

Seven days.

"What is this?" Zhao Ya asked.

The woman shook her head and said with tears in her eyes: "I don't know either. My man gave this to me before and asked me to keep it safe."

For He Zhen to treat it so seriously shows the importance of this key.

Zhao Ya accepted the key, looked at the tearful woman, and sighed secretly in his heart.

This woman is not stupid, she should have guessed that her man will never come back.

"Do you have anywhere else to go in the city?" Zhao Ya asked.

The woman shook her head, "My hometown is in the countryside thirty miles outside the city. I have no relatives or friends in the city."

"Then take these two children and leave Yandu City quickly and go back to your home. Remember, don't mention your man to others, and don't come back."

Then Zhao Ya gave the woman some scattered silver. Although it was not much, it was at least enough for her to live in the future.

For this woman, giving her too much money would actually harm her.

The woman was naturally grateful and immediately started to pack her luggage, preparing to take her two children home for refuge.

Zhao Ya turned around and left.

He did not go out directly from the front door, but took a detour to an alley behind the alley, and then slowly walked towards the main street of Qinglongfang, pretending to be nonchalant.

While walking, Zhao Ya was thinking about what this key was.

Since it is a key, there must be a corresponding lock, but the problem is that Zhao Ya did not find any other clues except the Tianqi number engraved on it.

But Zhao Ya is not in a hurry, because this key is obviously closely related to the things hidden by He Zhen. Although he has no clue now, as long as he investigates He Zhen carefully, he may be able to find a breakthrough.

While he was thinking about it, Zhao Ya had an idea and glanced across the street at a stall selling fried tofu, fried dough sticks and other snacks.

There were several diners sitting at the stall. These diners were drinking tofu puffs while looking at the passers-by on the street.

This is actually not surprising. The key is that each of these diners is tall and tall. Although two of them are wearing long-sleeved clothes, they can still see the tattoos exposed on their wrists.

Not only that, although the few pedestrians chatting nearby seemed to be chatting and laughing, their eyes were always fixed on the alley.

When Zhao Ya passed by, these people's eyes instantly focused on him.

Zhao Ya knew clearly in his heart that it was probably the Sihai Gang who had arrived. He thought it was coming very quickly.

Although he was slightly shocked, there was nothing unusual on Zhao Ya's surface. He walked as easily as a pedestrian rushing to an appointment and quickly walked through the long street.

These people didn't notice anything unusual. They all looked away after Zhao Yajing left and continued to stare at the alley.

At the same time, after Zhao Ya turned the corner, he saw Chen Xiaoer hiding.

Chen Xiaoer looked anxious.

"My hero, something seems to be wrong. Not long after you entered, many unfamiliar faces appeared around you. I had no choice but to hide here for safety reasons. The news may have been leaked."

"Don't panic. We've got the stuff. If the news leaks out, it'll leak out."

Chen Xiaoer let out a long breath and said, "That's good, then what are we waiting for? Let's leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, you go first, I still have some things to do."

Still have something to do?

Chen Xiaoer was a little confused and didn't know what Zhao Ya was planning to do.

But since he said so, Chen Xiaoer naturally stopped insisting, so he nodded and said: "Okay, be careful, I'll leave first."

After Chen Xiaoer left, Zhao Ya found a hiding place, changed his clothes and put on the Yaksha mask, and then lurked quietly behind the group of stalkers.

With Zhao Ya's physical skills and level of breath control, these people naturally didn't notice at all.

Time passed like this little by little.

Soon, the time came to afternoon.

Qinglongfang became a little more lively, but the streets around the alley were extremely quiet.

Finally, a carriage drove slowly, breaking the tranquility around them.

When they arrived at the entrance of the alley, the carriage stopped, and then the curtains were lifted, and a tall and burly man walked out of it.

This strong man is more than two meters tall and has a lot of hair on his body. He really looks like a black bear that has become a sperm.

And he was holding a person in his hand.

This man had his head hanging down, blood was dripping continuously, and his limbs were limp. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured.

"Master Xiong Hai!"

These people who were watching quickly stood up and saluted.

The strong man nodded, "Is there anything unusual?"

"Back to Haizhu, I didn't find anything unusual. He Zhen's secret foothold should be here."

The strong man grinned, then grabbed the man's hair and lifted his head up.

"Which one is it specifically?"

The man said tremblingly: "The...most house."

"very good!"

Then the strong man casually dropped the man in his hand to the ground.

There was a bang.

The man let out a muffled groan, but then his moans stopped abruptly, because at this moment, the strong man stepped on his head, crushing it to death.

His brains splattered all over the floor, but the strong man laughed happily.

"Damn it, I'm interrogating you personally, and you still dare to hesitate and delay?"

The deceased was the one who drank with Chen Xiaoer and revealed the news.

At that time, this person not only told Chen Xiaoer about this matter, but he also told it to other people.

So the news soon reached the ears of Xiong Kun, the sea lord of Tian Qinghai.

He made a decision at that time to arrest the person who spread the news and interrogate him severely.

Because of this, he arrived just one step later than Zhao Ya.

After killing this man, Xiong Kun looked up at the alley, chuckled, and strode in.

He and He Zhen are both one of the four sea masters of the Sihai Gang, but their relationship is quite bad.

So when He Zhen died, he pretended to be sad in front of the boss Huangfu Zhen, but in fact he was already happy inside.

Later, Huangfuzhen ordered a strict investigation of the murderer of He Zhen. Xiong Kun was only outwardly active in this regard, but in fact he was perfunctory.

joke.

How could the person who could kill He Zhen be Yi Yi?

If I really pursue the investigation, what will I do if I get implicated again?

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. He deserved He Zhen's death, and he couldn't make the same mistake again.

In fact, it was not only Xiong Kun who thought this way, but also Lang Songbai and Sheng Lianhua.

You're just an ordinary gang member, what are you trying to do with your life?

But after hearing about the wealth left by He Zhen, Xiong Kun became extremely positive in an instant.

Not only did they block the news immediately, they also rushed over in person.

Xiong Kun knew that He Zhen must be extremely rich as he has been the leader of the Sihai Gang for so many years, so he was bound to get this windfall.

When he came to the door, he was about to reach out and push it open.

Xiong Kun suddenly heard the sound of falling to the ground behind him.

Xiong Kun was a gangster and had rich practical experience. He knew something was wrong when he heard the sound, so he didn't look back and instead rushed through the door.

There was a click.

The door and the door wall collapsed.

The woman who had packed her luggage and was about to leave with her child couldn't help but scream in surprise when she saw this.

Because this scene is so horrific.

Xiong Kun rushed in from outside the door, his rampage looked like a frightened black bear.

The woman turned pale with fear.

A flash of doubt flashed in Xiong Kun's eyes.

Woman, with two children?

Could it be that I made a mistake?

Isn’t this the place where He Zhen ends?

But this is not the time to dwell on this.

With the force of this charge, he had activated all his energy and blood, and the flesh on his body instantly turned into hard plate armor.

It is Xiong Kun's famous stunt, turning flesh into armor.

Relying on this protection, Xiong Kun finally gained some confidence and turned around to look behind him.

He saw several people lying horizontally and vertically in the alley, all of them were his subordinates.

You must know that although these people do not have high skills, most of them are warriors in the third realm. Some of them who have followed them for many years have even reached the fourth realm.

But at this moment, these people were all lying on the ground without making any sound.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Kun couldn't help but take a breath.

Being able to kill so many people silently, Xiong Kun suddenly thought of the existence that had caused Sheng Lianhua a big loss recently.

as expected.

Just when he was hesitant, a figure appeared in the alley, wearing a Yaksha mask and a tall figure, slowly walking towards him.

"Are you also here for He Zhen's money? How about this, I quit voluntarily, what do you think?" Xiong Kun hesitated for a moment, and then said.

Zhao Ya didn't say a word and just continued walking towards Xiong Kun.

Xiong Kun seemed to have a look of fear on his face, and his eyes were even more hesitant.

But when Zhao Ya walked to the door, Xiong Kun suddenly became angry and rushed towards Zhao Ya like an angry black bear.

While he was in the air, Xiong Kun first fired a hidden weapon in an attempt to disrupt Zhao Ya's sight, and then the fist as big as a casserole came at him.

Zhao Ya had already expected this.

Just now, Xiong Kun deliberately spoke weakly in order to weaken his vigilance, and then he violently struck out, trying to catch himself off guard.

The whole strategy can be said to be vicious and sophisticated, which shows that Xiong Kun is not as rough and reckless as he seems on the surface.

But none of this could be hidden from Zhao Ya's eyes.

When the hidden weapon attacked, Zhao Ya ducked slightly and appeared behind Xiong Kun at a speed like a ghost.

Xiong Kun knew it was not good, but he did not panic. Instead, he mobilized all the energy and blood in his body to concentrate on his back.

In an instant, the flesh armor on his back glowed like iron.

At this time, Zhao Ya's fist also arrived.

After the two collided, there was only a loud bang. Xiong Kun groaned in pain and was violently blown away. After he staggered to the ground, he did not dare to stop at all and ran out desperately. .

The power of this punch almost killed him and frightened his courage.

Zhao Ya did not pursue him.

Although the punch just broke through Xiong Kun's defense, the force of the counterattack also made Zhao Ya's blood boil and his breath became slightly scattered.

But then the talent of the lungs was revealed. After just one breath, Zhao Ya felt that his energy and blood returned to normal.

But at this time, Xiong Kun had already disappeared, and he was too lazy to chase him.

The purpose of this attack is to weaken the strength of the Sihai Gang. After all, he and the Sihai Gang have already formed a deadly feud, and there will be a battle sooner or later. Trying to weaken their strength as much as possible now is also to prepare for the future.

The second reason is to help the mother and son.

If the woman didn't take the initiative to hand over the key, Zhao Ya could only give a reminder. As for the rest, he could only leave it to fate.

After all, Zhao Ya and He Zhen are enemies. If he doesn't touch his family, he already has a bottom line. If he wants to help, it will be a bit difficult to force others.

But the woman handed over the key obediently, and it seemed that she knew nothing about He Zhen, so Zhao Ya decided to help her.

Otherwise, she and the two children would not survive.

At this moment, Zhao Ya glanced at the trembling woman, turned around and disappeared behind the eaves without saying a word.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. She bowed gratefully in the direction Zhao Ya was leaving, and then hurriedly left with her two children.
