Chapter 18 Jason Racking His Brains for Food_2
It's the same now.
Li Deshang wanted to run at first sight.
But in the next moment, he shook his head with a bitter smile.
Others could escape, but he absolutely couldn't.
First, his body was too weak. How could he outrun these assassins, these killers.
Second, the target of the attackers was him in the first place, how could they let him escape.
'When Brother Mu dies, it will be my turn.'
'To drag others down that results in their death should never happen, and I can't even run.'
'Forget it! Forget it!'
'What is there to fear in death!'
Li Deshang turned around, sat down in a chair like that, sat calmly in it, facing outwards, his eyes still showing fear but quickly calming down.
Dou Bao looked at Jia Youcai and Li Deshang in astonishment.
She did not expect these two to have such courage.
In her hand appeared a quail egg-sized cloth pouch.
The stitches were fine but had hidden tricks.
Inside was the poison powder of 'Tianshenzi.'
As soon as you pulled the thread and tossed it, the poison powder of 'Tianshenzi' would scatter in the air, and anyone who got hit would die swiftly.
It was one of the self-defense items she collected while fleeing disaster.
"Headmaster, get out of the way!"
Dou Bao warned Jason, preparing to throw the poison pouch.
However, Jason ignored it, and instead lifted a foot to kick at the incoming shadow.
This kick was very concealed.
And extremely fast.
By the time Jason lifted his foot, and got close, the attacker suddenly noticed, crossed their arms to block the kick.
Bang!
The dust swirled, the attacker didn't take a step back, but Jason stepped back instead.
"Tiger Tail Kick?"
"Not bad training."
"But what a pity that you are just a Martial Artist who has trained to 'muscle'. If you had achieved 'Bone Tempering,' I would be severely injured... Ah! Aaaah! My eyes!"
The attacker smirked coldly, mocking Jason with words, but then wailed halfway through the sentence.
Lime!
Inside Jason's pant leg, Dou Bao had sewn lime.
Of course, not just lime, this kick was with the left leg, and inside there was also aconite powder.
Aconite is highly toxic.
The attacker, whose eyes already felt like they were burning, felt like their face was going to rot away in the next moment.
But even so, when Jason stepped forward to prepare for another kick, the opponent still swiftly dodged.
Not only did they dodge, but they also kept shouting—
"Attack him!"
Instantly, the remaining five gunmen no longer reloaded their bullets, drew their short knives, and surrounded Jason.
More importantly, two more individuals appeared from inside the black horse-drawn carriage.
Both had slender builds, wearing short combat attire, each holding a Nine-section Whip in their hands.
Even before they got close, the two Nine-section Whips were already whistling through the air.
When the whistling reached its climax—
Snap!
Snap!
Almost simultaneously, the two Nine-section Whips shot towards Jason like venomous snakes.
Jason quickly dodged.
He dodged them, but the short knives held by the surrounding five gunmen followed up continuously.
For a moment, Jason was left to defend himself from both sides.
The attacker's eyes couldn't see anymore.
But their ears were not deaf.
The opponent could hear and it seemed as though they could see.
"Mu Bai!"
"You ruined my eyes."
"I will tear you to pieces!"
"However, even if you die, you should be satisfied—being ambushed by a fully 'Bone Tempered' Warrior and two who have trained to 'muscle', along with more than a dozen skilled ones!"
The attacker smirked coldly again.
Those around who prided themselves on being well-informed gasped upon hearing such words.
'Mountain City' is a small place.
There aren't many Martial Artists who have trained to 'muscle'.
As long as one appears, they acquire quite a reputation.
With a bit of luck, passing through Martial Arts Street, they qualify to open a gym and take in disciples.
And a Martial Artist who has fully achieved 'Bone Tempering'?
There isn't one in 'Mountain City'.
At least not on the surface.
Jia Youcai, who had already touched the door frame, trembled upon hearing such words.
However, the arrest officer did not retreat.
At this time, if he retreated, what would he amount to?
He had already made up his mind to eliminate one of the five people surrounding Jason.
At least lessen the pressure on Jason a bit.
After?
He couldn't care that much anymore.
This should be his limit.
The rest was up to Jason.
Thinking of this, Jia Youcai slowly approached, the knife in his hand already aimed at one of them.
Li Deshang saw it, nodded slightly.
Then shook his head again.
At this point, it was useless.
After all, it was 'Bone Tempering' accomplished.
Just...
Li Deshang sat in the chair looking at the attacker with his face covered in lime and aconite powder, frowned.
Being from the Northern Li Family, he had seen some 'Bone Tempering' accomplished Warriors.
Each one had a robust aura, not to mention their battle-hardened experiences.
Being covered in lime like this?
It really was a bit disgraceful!
A 'Bone Tempered.'
Two 'muscle' trained.
Dou Bao pursed her lips, a small bamboo tube appeared in her hand, containing the juice from the fruit of the 'Poison Arrow Tree,' deadly upon blood contact, also a self-defense concoction she prepared while fleeing famine.
What 'Bone Tempering' accomplished, what 'muscle' trained.
She could deal with one tube, and they'd all be dead bodies.
Jason was simultaneously handling the siege and sensing his surroundings.
Yes, handling.
To Jason, the siege at hand, if he wanted, could really be broken in an instant; regardless of 'Bone Tempering' accomplished or the two 'muscle' trained warriors, for Jason, it was truly a matter of a punch and a kick.
