Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 71
[Chapter 71 One Punch [Subscribe]]
Bang!
Lin Xiu’s fist landed on the man’s chest, and the killer’s chest caved in directly, the clothes on his back burst, and a fist mark appeared, and his heart also exploded directly under this punch.
If his body was not paralyzed, he would have time to react.
As long as he protected his body with true qi, this punch would at most cause him some minor injuries.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
A martial arts master who lost his true qi is also a mortal body like an ordinary person, and for Lin Xiu, a mortal body only needs one punch.
One punch killed him.
The killer could not figure out what the mysterious power that paralyzed him was until he died. Why did a poor guy who had just awakened his ability and had low martial arts skills have such great strength…
Bang!
The killer, who had lost his vitality, fell to the ground with a bang. The horse pulling the cart was frightened and ran wildly forward, and soon disappeared in the rain.
At the gate in front of the city, the patrolling guards had already discovered the situation here and were trotting over here.
Lin Xiu’s internal energy was extremely empty, and his wound was in severe pain. He looked at the sword still stuck in his shoulder, and felt dizzy…
…
Lin Mansion.
Today’s heavy rain has stopped. The courtyard of Lin Mansion is full of people. There is almost no place to stay in Lin Xiu’s room.
The assassination at the city gate has triggered a lot of follow-ups.
Ping’an Earl and his wife stood in front of the bed. Zhou Yun held Lin Xiu’s hand worriedly and asked, “Xiu’er, how do you feel? Does your wound hurt?”
Being almost pierced through the heart by a sword, the wound was naturally very painful, but Lin Xiu still smiled and said, “Don’t worry, mother, they are all superficial injuries. No vital injuries.”
Ping’an Earl had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth and said, “Who on earth is it that has tried to assassinate you again and again? What deep hatred does he have with our Lin family!”
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and a beautiful figure squeezed in from the door and said, “Make way, make way, I’m the doctor of the Imperial Hospital…”
Bai Shuangshuang squeezed in front of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Xiu lying on the bed but still awake, and then said to everyone in the room, “I’m going to treat Master Lin. Please go out first. I need to keep quiet.”
Since they were people from the Imperial Hospital, everyone naturally withdrew.
Bai Shuangshuang sat in front of the bed and asked, “Where are you injured, young master?”
Lin Xiu pulled the quilt down, revealing the wound on his shoulder. Bai Shuangshuang saw it and exclaimed, “How could you be injured so badly…”
Lin Xiu smiled and said, “Fortunately, you didn’t hurt my vital parts. The assassin’s target was my chest. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have seen you.”
After hearing the news that Lin Xiu was injured, Bai Shuangshuang hurried over. After seeing Lin Xiu’s wound, she was actually a little relieved.
Although the wound on the shoulder looked terrible, as Lin Xiu said, it was just a serious external injury and it was not difficult to treat.
She said to Lin Xiu, “Young Master Lin, please uncover the quilt and I will treat you.”
Lin Xiu uncovered the quilt, revealing his naked upper body.
This body has no extra fat, and the chest and abdominal muscles are not bulging, but it is also very stylish when taking off clothes. Bai Shuangshuang didn’t know that Lin Xiu’s body was so attractive. She opened her mouth slightly and even subconsciously poked Lin Xiu’s chest muscles with her index finger.
Then she realized what happened, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly sat up straight, then stretched out her hands and put her palms on Lin Xiu’s wound.
After Shuangshuang touched his body, Lin Xiu could not feel any pain. On the contrary, there was a warm and comfortable feeling at the place where their skin touched.
Of course, Lin Xiu was not idle at this moment. When Shuangshuang’s hand was placed on his shoulder, a force quietly entered her body.
I didn’t expect it to come to this.
The last time she treated Sun Dali, Lin Xiu was thinking about whether to deliberately get injured and then ask Shuangshuang to treat him and gain her ability. Now, before he made up his mind, others decided for him.
He could clearly feel that there was a new power being copied into his body bit by bit.
This time, Shuangshuang sat in front of Lin Xiu’s bed for a long time, which meant that Lin Xiu’s injury could not be easily treated with her current ability.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lin Xiu felt a weight on his chest, and a soft body with a faint fragrance fell down.
Bai Shuangshuang’s face was extremely pale, even her lips had lost their color. She wanted to support her body and get up from Lin Xiu, but she could not muster any strength. She had no choice but to lie on top of Lin Xiu, blushing and weakly saying, “Lin, Master Lin, I have no strength left…”
At this time, the wound on Lin Xiu’s shoulder had healed for the most part. He sat up from the bed, picked her up with his other hand, and said, “Thank you, Miss Shuangshuang. I’ll take you to the wing room to rest.”
Bai Shuangshuang was picked up by Lin Xiu, with her head resting on Lin Xiu’s chest. He hadn’t put on his clothes yet. She felt weak all over at the moment, and her face was slightly hot. She had to bury her head in his chest and whispered, “Wait, wait until my energy recovers, and then I will continue to treat you…”
Lin Xiu carried her into the wing room. After only a few steps, she fell asleep in Lin Xiu’s arms, which showed how much the treatment just now consumed her.
Lin Xiu put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then closed the door and returned to his room.
Feeling the extra power in his body, Lin Xiu smiled. He had coveted Miss Shuangshuang’s ability for so long, and now, he finally got what he wanted.
After returning to the room, Lin Xiu spent a long time to comfort his mother. As soon as Lady Ping’an left, a figure walked in from outside. It was Liu Qingfeng.
He walked to the bed and asked Lin Xiu, “Master Lin, are you okay?”
Lin Xiu smiled and said, “I won’t die.”
“I’m glad that Lord Lin is okay.” Liu Qingfeng then said, “I came here to investigate this assassination. I have some questions to ask Lord Lin. I wonder if Lord Lin is free now.”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Go ahead and ask.” Liu
Qingfeng looked at him and asked, “Why did Lord Lin go out of the city alone today, and wearing the clothes of a servant of the Lin residence?”
There was nothing to hide. Lin Xiu said, “Lord Liu should know that not long ago, I also encountered an assassination incident. I almost lost my life that time. Later, I became much more careful and always brought guards with me when I went out. This time I stayed in the city for too long and felt bored. I wanted to go out of the city for some fresh air. In order not to attract attention, I deliberately changed my clothes and left through the back door. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen when I came back.”
This reason is reasonable. Liu Qingfeng looked at Lin Xiu and said, “It seems that the person who wants to assassinate Lord Lin has been watching you.”
Lin Xiu only realized this after today. In the city, especially after he moved, the difficulty of attacking him increased greatly. Naturally, outside the city is the best place to assassinate him.
The only time he went out of the city, he encountered an assassin. There was only one possibility, that is, his whereabouts were under the control of others all the time.
Liu Qingfeng continued to ask: “Does Lord Lin suspect anyone?”
Lin Xiu shook his head. Although he had not offended anyone, because of the marriage contract, there were too many people who wanted him dead. Countless people had motives for committing crimes, and he could not suspect them at all.
Liu Qingfeng thought for a while, looked at Lin Xiu again, and said: “There is another thing that I am very curious about.”
Lin Xiu asked: “What is it?”
Liu Qingfeng said: “We have found out the identity of the assassin who assassinated Lord Lin. This person is called Liu Qing. He is a well-known killer. Although he has not awakened his supernatural ability, he has a martial arts cultivation of the upper realm of the Xuan level. How did Lord Lin kill him?”
He did not pause and continued: “As far as I know, Lord Lin’s supernatural ability has only been awakened for two months.” The strength
of the killer is indeed very strong. In a head-on fight, even if Lin Xiu’s strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, he is not his opponent. The real strength of this person will not be weaker than Lingyin.
If Lin Xiu had not obtained the power of thunder not long ago and created a short time for him at the critical moment, he would not have escaped death today.
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Speaking of which, I am lucky. Not long ago, I used the Yuanjing to awaken the ice art for the second time, and I also succeeded in drawing qi in martial arts. When the assassin stabbed me with a sword, I condensed an ice armor on my chest, which slightly blocked the sword force and prevented him from stabbing the vital point. Then I drew the true qi to my fist and hit the man’s chest with all my strength…”
What Lin Xiu described was no different from the traces Liu Qingfeng saw at the scene.
There was residual ice at the scene, and the assassin’s chest was sunken and his heart was broken, which was the only cause of his death. It looked like a beautiful counterattack.
But there was a key loophole in it.
Liu Qingfeng looked puzzled and said, “I am very curious. The assassin has a good martial arts skill. With the protection of true qi, it is impossible for Lord Lin to kill him with one punch. Why…” Lin Xiu shook his
head and interrupted him, saying, “I don’t know why he didn’t use true qi to protect his body. I’m afraid Lord Liu can only ask this person himself…”
The assassin was dead, so Liu Qingfeng naturally had no way to ask. The only possibility was that when the other party assassinated Lin Xiu, he poured all his true qi into the weapon, causing the true qi in his body to be empty, so he was killed by Lin Xiu.
But this will bring a new problem. If this person poured all his true qi into the weapon, he must have the idea of killing with one blow. At the moment of stabbing Lin Xiu, he would stimulate the true qi to destroy his internal organs, and it would be impossible for Lin Xiu to counterattack.
The case seemed to have fallen into a dead loop.
Lin Xiu’s eyes were calm, but there was a ripple in his heart.
Liu Qingfeng is indeed the person that the doctor values the most. Every question he asks goes straight to the point. However, he never expected that the assassin did not want to withdraw his Qi to protect his body, but could not. It
takes time for a person to encounter a crisis, for the brain to judge the crisis, to react, and finally to execute. Although this time is not long, it is definitely longer than the time it takes for the electric current to propagate. The
moment his sword pierced Lin Xiu’s body, his whole body was numbed by the electric current. Not to mention withdrawing his Qi to defend himself, he could not even activate the Qi attached to the sword. If he had used a stick, a flying knife, or some other hidden weapon that does not conduct electricity or does not require physical contact, Lin Xiu would have been dead. However, there are hundreds of weapons in the world, but he chose the sword…
Thanks to the leader of “No Patting or Feeding” for the reward!
