Chapter 6: The Knife Catchers

Luo Shui City in March carried a chill that had yet to subside.

Under the gray sky, it carried a bit of solemnity, a bit of serenity.

A few more moments of tranquility before the storm.

The knife catcher Xiao Wu ordered a few small dishes and a pot of wine.

While drinking the wine, he surveyed the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

The so-called knife catchers are those who are issued with waist licenses by the government.

And a kind of person who specializes in making a living by catching the criminals on the wanted list.

"Back then, when I was at Manan Mountain, Little Master I faced the Seven Monsters of Lingnan by myself, and I was able to take on all seven without losing a single step."

Xiao Wu was bragging to the people around him about how great he was.

Disdainful voices came from the surroundings.

"Not very old, but you're blowing a lot of bullskin."

A sound of laughter was induced.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly and slapped the knife catcher's belt tag on the table.

At the same time, he lifted his clothes to reveal the scar on his stomach.

"Hahaha, I know, this is from the time your kid stole money and was beaten by your father.

After so many years, the scar is still there."

The crowd laughed again, causing Xiao Wu's little face to turn red.

At that moment, his eyes flickered.

The wanted criminal, Ma Sandao, walked out of the restaurant and walked slowly down the street.

Ma Sandao?

Xiao Wu rubbed his eyes, although it was just a back ....

"Hey! Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

"This kid doesn't stand up to teasing."

Xiao Wu carried his sword and belt tag and hurriedly ran out of the small store.

The wanted criminal Ma Sandao walked out of the restaurant and walked slowly down the street.

He walked with a strange posture.

His right foot took a step first before his left foot slowly followed, and it looked like he was struggling with each step.

Injured?

The corners of Xiao Wu's mouth gently hooked up, it was really heaven's help.

Capture Ma Sanjie back, let's see who still dares to mock me.

Ma Sanjie circled around, his feet crunching on the dirt floor full of small stones.

He eventually walked down a street and turned into an alley.

Xiao Wu rolled onto the roof next to him and quietly observed Ma Sanjie.

"Hey! Come out."

The cold wind carried Ma Sanjie's hoarse voice.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but shiver, his childish face showing fear.

No one answered, only a mouse burrowed out from the small ditch next to him, a pair of big black eyes looking around.

Swish!

Several figures darted, like ghosts rushing out of the darkness, heading straight for Ma Sanjie.

Surging through the darkness, with the sound of a sheathed blade.

With a miserable scream, the long knife landed on the ground.

A silhouette flew out about ten feet away and fell to the ground with a thud.

Instantly a life was lost.

The visitor was extremely fast, but Ma Sanjiao's knife was even faster.

It was too fast, so fast that one could not see his movements, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Xiao Wu held his breath, in less than three breaths.

There were four more corpses in the alley.

Xiao Wu couldn't stop his calves from trembling.

Ma SanDao rotated his flying dagger in his hand, his face expressionless.

Xiao Wu's heart followed closely, not daring to move.

Suddenly, the flying dagger suddenly shot out.

It was like a shooting star slicing through the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Xiao Wu's body, like a shining tail!

Xiao Wu subconsciously lowered his head, and the flying dagger slashed against his scalp.

A blessing amongst misfortunes.

Run!

Xiao Wu only had this one thought in his heart right now, in front of this person, the heart simply couldn't give birth to half a thought of resistance.

He slid down from the roof at great speed and leapt onto a large tree.

With a fierce stomp of his feet, he jumped directly over the fence and jumped outside the wall.

Just as he was about to escape, he received a knife in his hind leg socket.

"Boom!" A sound was heard.

His entire person directly fell out.

Ma Sanjie had already landed on the ground and stood in a position a hundred meters away.

Playfully looking at this world-weary kid.

Xiao Wu's courage of wanting to capture Ma Sanjie alive a moment ago was now gone.

He was so scared that he was even about to pee.

"Cough!"

Right at this moment, a voice rang out abruptly.

Ma SanDao turned his head to look, and only then did he realize that there was actually a person squatting in the corner.

There was also an old cow lying next to him.

Pingan Li didn't want to mind these idle matters, so he pretended to be a dead man.

Seeing nothing, hearing nothing.

Ma SanDao's eyes narrowed, and he designated that he would not let go of this witness.

Xiao Wu didn't know where he got the courage from and suddenly yelled.

"Run! He is the wanted criminal Ma Sanjie, you go to the officials, I'll stop him!"

Saying this, he even stood up with a knife.

Ma San Knife snorted coldly, "A doll whose hair hasn't even grown, to think that he has also learned others to play with knives."

Li Pingan's complexion moved slightly.

Ma Sandao?

He took out the bounty order that he had rubbed through from his bosom.

One hundred for the living, fifty for the dead.

"You're Ma Sandao?"

Ma Sandao glanced at Li Pingan, "So you're a blind man."

Xiao Wu's hope that had just risen was dashed, unexpectedly meeting a blind man.

It was estimated that the other party could not even find where the entrance to the Yamen was.

Pingan Li took a few steps closer, but he still could not see Ma Sanjie's appearance.

Ma San Dagger looked like a blind man and didn't take it too seriously.

A backhanded knife flew past.

Pingan Li inclined his head and dodged the flying knife with a light touch.

Ma San Dao was taken aback and said in a deep voice, "Your honor's name?"

"Blind."

He would only call himself Blind Man when he was killing people.

The blind man held his walking stick and took a step forward

Ma Sandao hastily stepped back and raised his hand to shoot two more knives over.

The two knives went straight to the vitals, as fast as the wind.

It was also in the darkness of the night, an ordinary person would not be able to cope with it.

In the instant the knife light flashed by.

The blind man's head tilted, once again avoiding a knife.

At the same time, he waved his walking stick and blocked another knife.

With one step, before Ma San Dao could react.

He had already arrived in front of his eyes.

Borrowing the moonlight, he looked at Ma Sandao from a close distance.

Li Ping An's eye visibility was only within half a meter of his line of sight, and although it was blurry, he was able to get a rough idea.

Thin and tall, almost like a bamboo pole.

With a long horse face, a high nose, and high cheekbones.

Surprisingly consistent with the person in the portrait.

It was really Ma Sanjie who was right.

"Make a deal." The blind man suddenly spoke.

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the blind man.

Good .... So powerful!

"You're the knife catcher, right? I'll catch him, you take it to the government for money, how about we split it 30/70?"

The blind man didn't have a knife catcher's belt tag, so even if he caught Ma SanDao, it would be a waste of effort.

What's more, he himself was a wanted criminal.

Xiao Wu hadn't come back to his senses.

"Talk back!"

Only then did Xiao Wu react, nodding his head in a frozen manner, "..... Good..." Ma SanDao's face turned blue, being traded in front of someone.

The object of the deal was still himself.

This made Ma San Dao feel an unprecedented insult, and with a flip of his hand he had five more flying knives.

The five knives came out in unison, each one was ruthless and brought up a harsh wind.

The blind man's ears twitched as he used his abduction as a blade.

The blade turned and the wrist flipped.

It was clean and crisp, all in one go.

With a flash of cold light, it brought a harsh blade wind and ruthlessly struck Ma Sanjie.
