Chapter 88: Seeing Lightness Skill Again

"To kill in public and still dare to speak so self-righteously, you are truly shameless, you deserve to die!"

The bully Wan San stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu.

Just as the bully was about to speak, the four Embroidered Uniform Guards behind Zhu Gaoxu all took a step forward in unison.

The bully frowned, knowing that Zhu Gaoxu was not like Wang Laotou and was not someone he could easily bully.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly leaped up, raised his foot, and kicked toward the bully's lower abdomen.

One kick, just one kick, and the bully was sent flying far away by Zhu Gaoxu.

Upon landing, he crashed onto a dining table in the restaurant, crushing the table instantly.

Zhu Gaoxu's kick stunned the surrounding crowd, but then they all began to applaud and cheer.

Regarding this, Zhu Gaoxu did not feel happy at all.

Just a moment ago, this group of people was watching the spectacle, and now that the bully had been beaten, they were cheering.

Do not forget, that little girl had only just lost her grandfather.

Thinking of the little girl, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look to the side.

He saw the little girl lying beside Wang Laotou, looking at him while crying.

Their eyes met, and Zhu Gaoxu walked toward her, but before he had taken two steps, he saw the girl's pupils shrink.

She reached out and pointed behind Zhu Gaoxu.

At the same time, Ada's voice came from behind.

"Little Prince, watch out!"

As Ada finished speaking, the four brothers had already drawn their Xiuchun Dao and were rushing toward Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu also subconsciously turned his head.

He saw the bully, his mouth full of blood, already close to him, holding a dagger and stabbing toward his back.

Just as Zhu Gaoxu was about to act, his head suddenly felt heavy, as if something had fallen onto it.

Then, Zhu Gaoxu saw some peach blossom petals falling from above.

The next second, the bully's head suddenly fell off his neck.

Everything happened too fast, so fast that the bully's body had not even reacted.

The headless man still took two steps forward with the dagger before falling down.

Although both were deaths, the bully's method of death was far more terrifying than Wang Laotou's.

Seeing this scene, the crowd no longer had the heart to cheer and fled the restaurant screaming.

By this time, Zhu Gaoxu only managed to catch a glimpse of a figure, while Ada and the others had already shielded Zhu Gaoxu behind them, guarding against the person who had just killed the bully from all sides.

Once all the onlookers had left, Zhu Gaoxu saw a woman dressed in pink gauze from a corner of the second floor.

The woman wore a veil, and the precious sword in her hand was dripping with blood; clearly, she was the one who had just killed the bully.

As if sensing Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, the woman glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and Ada and the others guarding him.

After a light chuckle, she leaped from the second floor and floated to the side of the little girl.

"Yihua Palace is at work, bystanders stand back!"

After saying this, the woman picked up the girl, kicked off the ground with one foot, flew straight out of the restaurant, and disappeared completely from Zhu Gaoxu's sight after a few leaps.

Lightness Skill!

This was the second time Zhu Gaoxu had seen Lightness Skill.

The first time was when he was assassinated during the hunt.

Watching the woman's departing back, Zhu Gaoxu seemed stunned.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu in this state, Ada and the others thought he had been frightened.

While feeling self-reproachful, they were also somewhat worried.

If anything were to happen to Zhu Gaoxu, their crime would be grave indeed.

But what they did not know was that at this moment, a voice sounded in Zhu Gaoxu's mind.

【Ding, check-in mission issued: head to Yihua Palace to check in!】

Zhu Gaoxu had been wondering; ever since he checked in at that dilapidated palace last time, the system had been silent.

He did not expect the system, which had been silent for so many days, to finally "come alive."

Zhu Gaoxu did not know if it was a coincidence; the old freak told him to go to Yihua Palace, the system also told him to go to Yihua Palace, and the key was that he seemed to have seen someone from Yihua Palace today.

For a moment, Zhu Gaoxu was filled with curiosity about Yihua Palace.

Just at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt someone touching him all over, and he came back to his senses.

He saw Ada and the others reaching out to touch his head; waving his hand to drive them away, Zhu Gaoxu stepped back two paces and said, "What are you doing!"

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu had returned to normal, the group immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ada explained, "This subordinate saw that you had a blank expression just now and thought you were injured, so I wanted to see if you had any wounds."

This was purely Ada talking nonsense; in reality, A'er had thought Zhu Gaoxu was possessed and wanted to exorcise the evil, which was why he had reached out.

But Ada certainly could not say that, so he found an excuse.

Zhu Gaoxu, of course, did not know this; he nodded and did not ask further.

He turned to look at the two corpses at the scene, then told the shopkeeper to report to the authorities, and led Ada and the others out of the restaurant.

If one had to say who was the most miserable, it would be the owner of this restaurant.

Having done nothing, two people had died in his establishment.

The key was that it was a business, and surely business would not be easy to conduct in the future.

Zhu Gaoxu walked down the street, his mind filled with the figure of the Yihua Palace woman from just now.

It was not that he had fallen for her, but that her graceful Lightness Skill truly made him envious.

It seems I must speed up the process and take a trip to the North as soon as possible.
