Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 450
Chapter 450: Tap an Acupoint, a Thief Takes from Pouch
With a group of Moksha Realm fighters forming their formations, even if Lu Zhangke had Profound Abyss Divine Palm, he did not have He Biweng by his side, and it meant that he could not break free. It left him so agitated that he shouted furiously and repeatedly.
Unfortunately for him, while Song Yuanqiao was inferior to He Biweng in terms of strength, he could still cause a lot of trouble to He Biweng if he wanted to hold him back. For a period of time, he truly could not break free and help Lu Zhangke.
Master Yuan Hui forced out the cold poison and recovered before he joined the battlefield. Soon after that, he defeated Lu Zhangke, who had exhausted all his tricks.
Thud! Thud!
Once Lu Zhangke had two of his major acupuncture points sealed by Master Yuan Hui, he found himself unable to move.
Lu Zhangke behaved bravely in such a situation. He only had an incredibly dark look on his face, but no fear.
“Now, Patron Lu, please tell us the whereabouts of Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder.”
“Hmph!”
Lu Zhangke snorted coldly and with contempt. He ignored Yuan Hui’s words.
Just when no one knew what they should do, Happy came out from behind the group. “Everyone, we’re not in a hurry to make him talk just yet. We still need to capture He Biweng. Once we do that, we won’t need to be afraid of him not talking.”
Lu Zhangke’s eyes went wide, and it was only then that he noticed that the young man in front of him was rather familiar. He was actually the young man who had fled from his hands not long ago in Eternal Peace Temple!
“That’s right! There’s still one more beside Great Swordsman Song…”
“Young swordsman, you’re right. Everyone, please follow me to provide support to Great Swordsman Song! I will have to trouble you to guard Lu Zhangke, Young Swordsman Happy.”
“Master, don’t worry, he won’t be able to escape.”
Happy had an expression that said he knew that this would happen, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart before he nodded. Once the elites from the six great system-allocated sects left, he cast a glance at Lu Zhangke and quickly released a messenger pigeon.
Soon, a shot came from behind the forest.
“I waited for you for so long, and you only called me now? What the heck, who’s this person with all the scribbles over his face?”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone approached them and immediately saw Lu Zhangke who stood by the side quietly like a statue. The sight was a shocking one.
“Lu Zhangke.”
“One of the Xuanming Elders?” All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s eyes lit up, and he immediately became excited. His eyes sparkled as he said, “Not bad, my boy. This is an Inaction Realm martial artist. If you kill him, he’ll definitely drop good loot.”
Lu Zhangke was rendered speechless. He felt his eyelids twitch.
“I serve Ruyang Mansion. If you dare kill me, the imperial court will punish nine generations of your family!”
“Bah! Did you think that I was born scared? How dare you threaten me? Come on, if you dare, try to fight against me alone…” All-powerful Medicinal Stone made a move to roll up his sleeves, and his sleazy attitude made Happy’s lips twitch.
“Alright, stop fooling around. Check and see whether he has anything on him and search through it.”
Happy did not call All-powerful Medicinal Stone for him to put on a show. When the man heard him, he immediately had a look in his eyes that made him seem as if he was a pervert who just saw a top-class beauty. He gulped and laughed madly.
“Hahahahaha… How did you even think of something so good for me? Stealing an Inaction Realm martial artist’s items? I didn’t think that I would have such great fortune! When I go back, I’ll give you something good as thanks.”
Lu Zhangke was so terrified by the unfamiliar middle-aged man’s expression that he felt chills go down his spine.
“What are you thinking of doing?!”
“Hurry up, when the people from the six sects come back, you won’t have the chance to steal from him.” Happy urged him to take action without even batting an eyelid.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone stopped fooling around. His expression became stern, and he swiftly brought out a soft leather pouch from Lu Zhangke’s waist while mumbling under his breath.
“I can’t believe I managed to get it so easily. There’s definitely nothing good in it.” While he talked, he opened the pouch with an incredibly sleazy expression. Then, he narrowed one eye and peeked into it.
The aroma of wine came from within.
“What the heck, why is it wine!”
Happy grabbed the pouch. He then said firmly with an earnest expression, “Continue.”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone shrugged and stopped joking around. He groped Lu Zhangke, who could not move, a few times, and in all seriousness, he brought out a large amount of golden leaves, a bunch of silver notes, and a blush box.
“What the heck, he’s an old pervert!” He tossed away the blush box and continued looking around.
“Hmm?”
When he tried it for the fifth time, he finally found a bottle with medicinal pills. Upon seeing it, Happy’s expression changed. He quickly took it over and brought it to his nose to take a sniff. The same moment, crazed delight appeared on his face.
“I got it!”
There was a strange and powerful stench from the bottle.
Its function was easy to verify. It was the antidote for Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder. As long as someone brought the bottle to the nose and took a sniff from it, they could recover and circulate their qi.
Lu Zhangke could only watch as Happy obtained the antidote. He gritted his teeth, but he could not do nothing about it. He was so angry that he trembled, and his eyes shone with a furious light.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not stop stealing.
The chance to steal from an Inaction Realm martial artist who could not move was not something that one could get every day, so it was only natural that he would fight for time and steal all that was possible. He brought out one item after another from Lu Zhangke’s body.
“What the heck? He has everything! A jade hairpin and a belly band? You stupid pervert, you actually brought this sort of stuff with you as well?”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not notice that Lu Zhangke’s expression had turned incredibly strange and unpleasant.
“Where’s Profound Abyss Divine Palm?”
While All-powerful Medicinal Stone stole stuff from Lu Zhangke’s body, he impatiently threw aside all the useless items all over the place. There was an endless stream of items from Lu Zhangke’s body, and most of them were items used by girls. He looked like a Doraemon carrying female items.
Happy felt speechless when he saw it.
He was also stunned silent by All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s shocking thought of stealing Profound Abyss Divine Palm from Lu Zhangke’s body. However, that palm technique seemed to have already been given to his past acquaintance, Orochimaru.
“Alright, since I already have the antidote for Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder, Big Brother Medicine, you should leave quickly. We should avoid unexpected trouble when the people from the six sects arrive,” Happy said.
The quest was already crazy enough, so he did not wish for it to have its difficulty increased out of the blue. At that time, he would really not know what to do with it.
“A pity.”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone was not the type to drag someone down during critical moments. When he saw that everything he stole was just trash, he felt gloomy and stole one last thing from Lu Zhangke before he left.
It was a pendant with precious stones in it made in the style of Western Region.
“So unlucky.”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone was the successor of Marvelous-handed Sect, and he had stolen around one thousand good items. This sort of trash would not capture his attention at all. He instinctively threw it away before he left gloomily.
Happy said nothing, but he swept his gaze over Lu Zhangke’s face. The man’s expression was incredibly unpleasant. His eyes sparkled, and he seemed to be very nervous. Happy could not help but be curious, and he frowned slightly.
‘What’s going on?’
He instinctively lowered his head and coincidentally saw a noble and expensive looking belly band. He could not help but be slightly stunned, then sweep his gaze over the other items on the ground.
The blush box, jade hairpin, and pendant with precious stones in it were all female items… and they all seemed to be expensive items that cost a lot of money. The women who could use such items should have a pretty high status.
A thought swiftly appeared in Happy’s head, and he sucked in a sharp breath. ‘This Lu Zhangke… I know he does crazy things because he’s driven by lust, but could he have slept with the young consort of Ruyang Mansion before it’s actually supposed to happen?’
