Chapter 75: Who else is unconvinced?! That bulging pair of pants!
A group of people who should have been fighting to the death suddenly met by fate at a street stall.
But at this moment, Helmsman did not know that Chen Pi was right behind him.
Chen Pi also did not know that the people huddled together talking in front of him were the Huang Huang Kuibang.
Therefore, one group was busy plotting how to kill Chen Pi.
Chen Pi was studying how to eat chicken; the scene was extremely absurd and comical.
"At this moment, Chen Pi had just arrived at the back kitchen when he heard the people from the Three Factions and Five Sects ask Helmsman, 'Why is Huang Huang Kuibang bothering with a beggar? Everyone remembers that Chen Pi is just a beggar.'"
"Helmsman replied: 'Even you know his name is Chen Pi, but have you ever seen a beggar this famous?'"
"This question left the people from the Three Factions and Five Sects stunned. Helmsman continued, saying he had seen a great bandit in Old Changsha who could kill thousands without blinking an eye, and that person looked exactly like Chen Pi!"
"That face of Chen Pi's was carved out of human lives!"
"These words made the faces of the people from the Three Factions and Five Sects change color, but Helmsman did not care."
"He stated bluntly that today was Chen Pi's death day. For a person like that, you have to kill him; otherwise, if you give him a chance to run, everyone will be in trouble!"
"Chen Pi was right at the kitchen stove and only then realized that this table of people was talking about him, and they seemed to be from the Huang Huang Kuibang."
"But Chen Pi remained calm, picked up a water bucket, went to the water vat on the side, drew water, and poured it into the large pot."
"The stall owner working in the back was stunned and picked up a kitchen knife, preparing to come over."
"Chen Pi flipped his hand, and his Nine-Claw Hook immediately flew out, skimming over the stall owner's head, landing behind him to grab the chili bowl on the top edge of the cabinet, and pulled it straight back."
"Not a single grain of chili from the whole bowl was spilled. It flew through the air and landed in Chen Pi's hand. Chen Pi poured it into the water and glanced at the stall owner holding the knife."
"The stall owner's eyes were already wide open, and even the hand holding the knife was trembling."
"The leaders of the Three Factions and Five Sects at the table were focused on their discussion and did not notice the movement behind them."
"But their subordinates had all seen that scene just now and were shocked into a stupor!"
Chen Pi's move made many listeners smile knowingly.
Are you kidding?!
Chen Pi's skill with the Nine-Claw Hook allowed him to hook a raw egg from twenty meters away without breaking it when it landed!
A bowl of chili oil was simply too easy for him.
But just this one move was enough to intimidate the entire room!
The listeners had now completely immersed themselves in the role of Chen Pi A-Si.
Even though Chen Pi A-Si killed without mercy, when facing the Huang Huang Kuibang, people naturally felt they should stand on his side.
Everyone knew that once the two sides met, it would be a fight to the death today.
So everyone stared at Zhang Lin nervously, wanting to know the process of the Three Slaughters of Huang Kui.
"At this moment, Helmsman finally discovered Chen Pi behind him, and for a split second, he felt a bit ridiculous."
"The man had already arrived silently at his side, and he was still plotting an ambush at the restaurant!?"
"Feeling insulted, Helmsman, who had two spring-loaded needle tubes hidden in his sleeves, stared at Chen Pi with full concentration."
"Helmsman knew that to deal with a 'Flower Sign,' he had to be lethal in one strike; otherwise, if he gave him a chance, the same hidden weapon couldn't be used a second time!"
"Helmsman hid the needle tubes and said to Chen Pi: 'Are you looking for the owner of the flag? I can help you find them.'"
"Chen Pi couldn't be bothered to play games with him. Hearing this, he immediately asked: 'Are you the owner of the flag?'"
"This question scared Helmsman quite a bit. He knew that if he nodded, Chen Pi's Nine-Claw Hook would immediately be at his throat."
"So Helmsman quickly said: 'I am not. Look, I have many flags here, all different. The Cannon Head's is an Exemption-from-Donation flag, mine is a Grain-Distribution flag; they look different. If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself.'"
"As he spoke, he placed a stack of flags on the table."
"Helmsman knew his needle tubes didn't have enough range; he had to lure Chen Pi to his side."
"Chen Pi looked at the pile of flags on the table from afar, also wanting to know who the Exemption-from-Donation flag belonged to, so he prepared to lift his foot and walk toward the table."
At this moment, the audience listening to this all became nervous.
Helmsman's method was truly vicious!
He was exploiting Chen Pi's eagerness to find the person, using the flags to lure him over.
When Chen Pi was engrossed in looking through the flags, the needle tubes in his sleeves would fire immediately.
Everyone guessed that with Helmsman's personality of liking to backstab people, his needle tubes were definitely coated with poison!
As the story reached its climax, Zhang Lin continued without pause: "Chen Pi was originally planning to step over, but suddenly he felt a sense of crisis!"
"This was the alertness that only comes from years of killing, so before moving his feet, Chen Pi said to Helmsman: 'Swap the bottom flag to the top for me!'"
"Hearing this, Helmsman had no choice but to comply."
"Chen Pi took the opportunity to scoop up a corpse left in the back kitchen into his arms."
"He also conveniently stuffed the fighting cock, which wasn't quite dead yet, into his crotch."
"That corpse was a young girl of thirteen or fourteen, her body not yet fully grown."
"She was originally Guan Guan Jie, the leader of the brothel faction of the Three Factions and Five Sects, given to Helmsman as a tribute to ensure smooth passage on the water routes."
"Yet, just moments ago while they were talking, Helmsman had snapped her neck and thrown her into the back kitchen."
"Helmsman swapped the flags and looked at Chen Pi, only to find that he had actually found a human shield!?"
"This infuriated Helmsman, but he was helpless and could only wait for an opportunity to fire the needles at Chen Pi."
"Chen Pi walked over and sat in a chair in the strange posture of holding a corpse."
"Helmsman began to lure him into looking through the flags."
"Chen Pi held the flags in his hand, placing them in front of his eyes to compare them with the one in his hand."
"But these flags were covered in oil stains, pitch black, and Chen Pi couldn't see them clearly for a moment."
"At this very instant, Helmsman's hand reached out toward Chen Pi's front, almost following the flag he had just taken."
"With a flip of his hand, the movement triggered the mechanism, and his hand instantly reached Chen Pi's armpit. A steel needle the length of a finger shot out and pierced Chen Pi's armpit!"
"Chen Pi's reaction was extremely fast. He immediately twisted his body, trying to use the corpse to block, but he didn't expect Helmsman to dare reach his hand into his armpit. With his other hand, he grabbed Helmsman's fingers and snapped three of them with a counter-twist!"
"But by then, Helmsman's steel needle had already struck. Chen Pi felt a numbness in his armpit, and when he tried to exert force, he couldn't lift his arm."
"Helmsman let out a miserable scream, and his other hand pressed against the wrist of Chen Pi's hand that had snapped his fingers, pinning it directly onto Chen Pi's heart."
"The mechanism in his palm fired. Chen Pi was already on guard; he knew he couldn't dodge it, so he fell backward, and the steel needle entered his body at an angle, piercing out through his ribs."
"Helmsman laughed out loud, because Chen Pi could no longer climb up!"
"Chen Pi looked at his hands and feet in horror; they were completely paralyzed. He instantly understood that the needle was coated with something!"
At this very moment, some listeners stood up in excitement.
Chen Pi had been hit?!
The needle really was coated with poison!
Now that Chen Pi was at a disadvantage, his whole body weak, how could he turn the tide?
Everyone looked nervous. Even though they knew Chen Pi would eventually complete the Four Slaughters of Huang Kui, they were worried he wouldn't make it through this hurdle.
Flower Monk and Lang Feng, who had been recording, found the audience's excitement inexplicable.
Flower Monk said: "What are these people making such a fuss about?"
Lang Feng also shook his head helplessly, "No choice, they don't understand Fourth Master."
"Fourth Master is the type who can counter-kill his opponent the more hopeless the situation becomes!"
"Fourth Master said, what was that term again?"
Chen Pi's disciples were also a bunch of ruffians who hadn't read much.
They couldn't recall the professional term Chen Pi had taught them later.
Flower Monk remembered and quickly said: "Psychological warfare!"
Lang Feng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, psychological warfare!"
"Fourth Master is an expert at psychological warfare! He said the more disadvantageous and hopeless the situation, the easier it is to turn the tables."
"Because when people think they are sure to win, that is when their spirit is most relaxed."
"The excitement and agitation brought by success can even make people dizzy."
"This is also when the opponent has the most flaws."
"So, there's no need to worry about Fourth Master in this situation at all!"
As Chen Pi's disciples, they naturally understood their master's methods best.
But the audience didn't understand and could only follow the ups and downs of Zhang Lin's tone!
Zhang Lin continued: "Helmsman looked at his own completely snapped fingers, then looked at the bulging crotch of Chen Pi's pants where the fighting cock was, and felt a surge of jealousy!"
"He picked up the cook's kitchen knife, came before Chen Pi, squatted down, and unbuckled Chen Pi's belt."
"He reached in and pulled out the fighting cock's head."
"The feathers on the fighting cock made Helmsman shudder!"
"At this very moment, Chen Pi used all his remaining strength to squeeze the fighting cock's body. The dying cock's neck snapped forward, its sharp beak piercing directly into Helmsman's eye. Helmsman screamed and fell backward."
"Chen Pi bit his own tongue to keep himself awake."
"He used his last bit of strength to swing the Nine-Claw Hook and pulled the chili bowl from earlier over."
"Without hesitation, he grabbed a handful of chili powder from the bowl and smeared it directly onto his wound!"
"The immense pain caused Chen Pi to curl up like a shrimp, his veins popping out."
"The sweat seemed to carry away the effect of the poison needle through his pores. Chen Pi let out a roar and climbed up."
"He crawled to the rolling Helmsman, snatched his knife, mounted him, and began to hack wildly."
"For half an hour, Chen Pi hacked for a full half hour!"
"When Helmsman's head was a bloody mess, Chen Pi finally looked up at the stunned crowd around him."
"He roared in a voice like a beast: 'Who else is Huang Kui!?'"
