Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 19 Accident
Seeing the fat man struggling in the distance, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a sense of emotion: "It was also in this dense forest. Last time, the fat and thin duo teamed up to attack me. Now one of them has died under my gun, and the other is just struggling hard."

Jiang Xuan coughed lightly a few times, put the black spear on his back, and reached out to touch his chest which had just been hit hard. Although it was extremely painful, it was not serious.

He turned around, picked up the dark-colored cloak not far away, and put it into a rag bag. This place was already far away from the Green Lake Auction House. Wearing the dark-colored cloak again was unnecessary, and it would easily attract the attention of people like Fatty who had attended the auction.

Jiang Xuan didn't want to kill the fat man, even though the fat man and the thin man both had strong desire to kill him. But now one of them was dead and the other was injured. He just wanted to get his luggage back and find the ring inside.

Slowly walking towards the fat man, Jiang Xuan asked in a slightly earnest tone, "Fatty, now that it has come to this, the grudge between you and me can be written off. I just want to get my luggage back. There's a ring in it that's very important to me."

"Humph……"

"Hahahahaha..."

The fat man lying on the ground laughed weakly, and the sound seemed very strange.

"Donkey shit." The fat man said in a mocking tone: "You should kill me."

"Killing you now would be equivalent to execution, and I don't like that method." Jiang Xuan frowned slightly and leaned over to look at the fat man: "You should have seen the ring. You can ignore the other things, but you must return the ring to me!"

"That ring is actually a treasure? I should have kept it earlier." The fat man lying on the ground showed a trace of regret on his face, and muttered, "I was wondering why that person was so straightforward."

The fat man said this, and it was obvious that he had sold the ring to someone else. This made Jiang Xuan anxious and angry. He grabbed the fat man by the scruff of the neck and was about to lift him up, angrily asking, "Who did you sell it to?"

As Jiang Xuan pulled him, the fat man began to cough rapidly, and the expression on his face became very painful: "That person...that person is..." The fat man's entire upper body was lifted up and hung by Jiang Xuan, and the huge pain made it difficult for the fat man to speak smoothly.

Jiang Xuan was still furious, but in order to get the fat man to tell him the whereabouts of the ring, he reluctantly put it down.

"Not long after I left that day, I ran into a traveling merchant who said he was going to Qizhou. Judging from where he was going, he must be heading to Qizhou City."

"What's the name of that traveling merchant? What does he look like?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"I don't know his name. He has an ordinary appearance, a medium build, and carries a wooden box on his back. Nothing special."

Jiang Xuan picked up the fat man again and said angrily, "You thief, you don't accept my toast, so you have to drink the forfeit. You stole my things twice, and I didn't bother with you, but you still planned to play tricks!"

Perhaps because the pain was too much the previous time, the fat man had a somewhat nonchalant expression this time: "I'm in this state now. You can kill me or cut me up at your will. Why should I play tricks?"

He loosened his grip and let the fat man fall heavily to the ground. Jiang Xuan decided not to waste time with the fat man and quickly set off for Qizhou City.

Although the fat man did not provide too specific information, "itinerant merchants in Qizhou City" could still narrow Jiang Xuan's search scope a lot.

Jiang Xuan thought so, and was worried that if he missed a step at night, the traveling merchant would sell the ring again. By then, finding the ring would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the chances would be slim.

Pulling out the silver spear that was previously stuck in the tree, Jiang Xuan walked out of the dense forest with two spears on his back.

After walking just a few dozen steps, Jiang Xuan felt a chill behind him. He subconsciously turned his body to the side, and then felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and his heart trembled.

Jiang Xuan quickly turned around and faced the direction from which the hidden weapon had come. Standing in the distance was the fat man who had just been lying on the ground, having long lost his ability to fight!
Although there were still a lot of dried blood on the fat man's sleeves at this moment, his complexion did not look like he had just been seriously injured. He actually gave people the feeling that he was in good condition.

Looking at the fat man again, in his dark red bloodstained hands, he found two dart-shaped weapons. Jiang Xuan reached out and removed the hidden weapon from behind his right shoulder, discovering it was a diamond-shaped dart, long and thin, with blades on the front and blank on the back.

After a closer look, Jiang Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in shock: "It's poisonous!" There was still some dark substance left on the slender diamond-shaped dart. It was obviously not Jiang Xuan's blood, but the venom that often appeared on hidden weapons.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you surprised?" The fat man shook the diamond-shaped dart in his hand.

The fat man wanted to tease Jiang Xuan with great pride, but he found that Jiang Xuan kicked his right foot and took the lead in launching an attack!
A black spear flew out diagonally from behind Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan grabbed the spear while rushing forward at high speed and stabbed the fat man.

Although Jiang Xuan was hit by a poisoned dart, no matter how strong the poison is, it will take time for it to take effect. Jiang Xuan had no choice but to attack with all his strength before the poison took effect, hoping to get rid of the fat man in a short time and obtain the antidote.

The fat man was a little surprised to see Jiang Xuan stabbing him directly, but he was not panicked. He threw the two darts in his hand with force to block Jiang Xuan's attack route.

Faced with two poisonous darts, Jiang Xuan had to passively change his attack route and had to give up the previous attack.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan had no idea how the fat man recovered instantly, but he was also eager to end the battle quickly.

Objectively speaking, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to Jiang Xuan! But he still tried to calm his mind.

Although the stab failed, Jiang Xuan did not stop. He mobilized the strength of his waist and swept the spear out horizontally.

"Qiang!"

Although Jiang Xuan did not use his full strength in this attack, it was the strongest attack he could make in case the previous attack missed. However, the black spear was actually held firmly in the fat man's hand with one hand.

The fat man grasped the spear that Jiang Xuan had swept out with his left hand, frowned slightly, and said, "This spear is indeed not an ordinary weapon. No wonder I suffered so much from it. It's probably at least several times heavier than a spear of the same length."

Although it seemed that he caught the spear easily with one hand, the fat man's hands and arms were numb from the shock, so he frowned. However, he noticed a strange look on Jiang Xuan's face, and realized that his action of catching the spear with his bare hands had caused Jiang Xuan a great shock.

The two fights, especially the last one, made the fat man initially realize the fighting ability of the young man in front of him.

If you want to defeat him completely or even kill him, the psychological offensive cannot be ignored.

The fat man tightened his left hand around the spear, then punched out with his right fist, launching a counterattack against Jiang Xuan.

The power and speed of this punch were increased by at least one level. Jiang Xuan did not dare to be careless and temporarily withdrew from the battle to distance himself from the fat man.

Jiang Xuan raised his gun and prepared to retreat, but found that the spear was tightly held by the fat man and he could not withdraw it at all.

In desperation, he had to drop his gun, step back, and retreat to a safer distance.

The fat man held the black spear in his left hand, lifted it up slightly, felt the weight of the black spear, then sneered and shot the spear in his hand horizontally!

The black spear shot out, away from where the two were, and stopped on a huge rock several dozen feet away!
