Chapter 275: The Faceless
Chapter 275 Faceless
Tangke lowered his waist and ran around the enemy, as fast as a leopard. He squinted his eyes and was as sharp as an eagle, capturing flaws that the enemy was not easily noticed. Among these true and false flaws, there are traps deliberately set up, and they will be frustrated when attacked, so they must be extremely careful. One of the flaws seems to be worth a try. The evil sword of the Condensing Shadow on his wrist emits a purple light, and three sword energy condenses and suddenly shoots at the enemy.
Three sword energy flashed by, with extraordinary strength, but was shattered by a pair of double swords. The scattered energy made the weeds in the cracks on the rocks on the ground dance wildly.
This is an empty courtyard with heavy stone slabs on the ground and there is no extra decoration around it. There is a stone table and four stone chairs in the distance. Tang Ke is fighting with another burly man. He surrounds the man in the center, wandering around and waiting for an opportunity to attack. The two fight together, like an unpredictable whirlwind, leaving only afterimages.
"The effect of your sword is quite good. When you face enemies of the same strength, you can release a large amount of sword energy to defeat by quantity. If you are facing enemies that are stronger than you, you can use one or two sword energy to attack. For this treasure, you must know how to use it flexibly."
Little Pirate City Admiral Gillo responded to Donk's attack while speaking with ease.
If it was actual combat, Tang Ke had no idea how many times he had died.
Kiro waved his arm and slashed his swords on the ground, shaking a thousand layers of energy, one wave higher than the other, and rushed towards Tangke with the momentum of striking waves.
"I lost, I lost." Tang Ke laughed, put away his sword and jumped back, rotated a few times in the air, landed on the stone chair, picked up the kettle on the table and fed a few times.
As a seventh-level swordsman, Kilo was free to receive and receive the energy. When he retreated with his two swords, the energy like the waves was retracted, but there was a cold wind on the field.
After the two finished their exchanges, they sat at the stone table for a while and drank together with tea.
Tang Ke came to Little Pirate City this time to repair the Cangtian and take over the Turtle Island, but neither of these things was urgent. While waiting, he sent people to inquire about useful information, including Zera's whereabouts and the movements of the Sikamon family.
The Battle of Turbulent Seas was the largest sea robbery in five years. The amount involved was huge and the forces involved were complex, which shocked for a while. After this battle, the aftermath of the war was unfair. The Man-Can Pirates broke with the Dragon Ya Kingdom, and Sikamon and the Palang Knight disappeared. The Greenland Empire was furious and sent the navy to attack several pirate groups in this battle.
Tang Ke accidentally grabbed the Talang Knight by chance and got great benefits. But after that, he was tricked by fate and teleported to the sea of clouds. After taking over the pirate group on his behalf, he refused to share the spoils before Tang Ke came back. In order to act in a low-key manner, he brought the Talang Knight Knight and Sikamon to Longchao Island. The ship alone is still imprisoned on Dragonchao Island and can't go anywhere.
No one outside knows the exact whereabouts of Sikamon. They all suspect that it was the attack of the Ghost Pirates or the Flower Language Pirates. They suspect that the Dragon Pirates' voice was relatively small, because among the pirates involved in the robbery, the Dragon Pirates' Group had the least ships.
Sikamon is a big fat sheep. If she was used for ransom, she could make a fortune. If it weren't for other things, Tang Ke would have been happy to exchange Sikamon for money as soon as possible.
In addition to inquiries about information, Tang Ke stays in the Haozhanjian Hall every day, practicing hard every day, and occasionally seeks Kiro's guidance. As his strength improves, the reward points required for upgrading will also be reduced. Even if he improves through the system in the future, he will not waste these efforts.
The rest was almost over. Tang Ke planned to devote himself to the new practice, but as soon as he stood up, someone came to report outside that someone from the Dragon Pirates came to find him, and it seemed that something was very anxious. Tang Ke said goodbye to Kiro, immediately went to the outer courtyard, and quickly arrived at the door.
The person who came was very familiar with him was a very experienced pirate in the Dragon Pirates Group. The man looked in a panic and sweating profusely, as if something big had happened. On his left arm, he was still wounded, and blood fell down drippingly.
"Captain, the big thing is wrong. Our people had an argument with another pirate group on the street, and they started fighting and had a big fight. We suffered losses and died. If you don't help, the remaining brothers will have to explain there."
"Which pirate group is the other party?"
"It's the old pirate group with guns."
Tang Ke felt a little relieved. The old gun-barred pirate group was a new pirate group that was established last year. It was not very famous. He only heard people mention it once. There was often friction between the pirate group and the pirate group, which was strange. He followed the subordinate to the scene and asked about the incident while running. It turned out that it was a small matter of fighting for women to be jealous. At this point, the cause of the conflict is not important. What is important is how to deal with the aftermath.
After running two streets, turning a corner, we arrived at the fighting site. The two sides were still fighting, with more than 30 people in total, and the scene was very chaotic. Some people hid behind and loaded bullets and fired cold guns. There were a few pools of blood on the ground, and seven or eight people were lying horizontally and vertically, and some seemed to be dead.
Tang Ke glanced in the crowd and saw that five or six of his sailors died, and several of them were injured in the fight. He suppressed the anger in his heart and used investigation techniques on the one who had the best skills among the enemy, which was also a habit that had been cultivated for a long time.

Thousand-faced Knife
A flash of lightning flashed through Tang Ke's mind, and he realized that this was a trap. He glanced at the person beside him with his light and found that although the man looked exactly the same as his subordinate, his hair color and hair texture were slightly different, and his facial muscles were slightly stiff. It seemed that everything was fake. The rumor was an assassin who was wearing a human skin mask. The two gangs of people fighting were just pretending. Even the corpse lying on the ground was a quiet assassin, ready to kill people at any time.
It's really dangerous
Tang Ke was so shocked that he was sweating in cold sweat. If he had no investigation skills and rushed over blindly, he would definitely be ambushed. The assassinators were of great strength and he would most likely die here.
"Without my blessing, the navy and bounty hunters will come to you soon..."
The warning from Golden Beard a few days ago was fulfilled so soon
Tang Ke's mind was turned around and it was of course the safest way to turn around and escape now, but there will be troubles in the future. These faceless people will not let it go. If you want to eliminate troubles, you must kill these people and make up your mind, walk slowly over quietly, and secretly perform investigation techniques to find out the details of the assassin who is acting.
Among them is a fourth-level, two third-level, and more than 30 first-level assassins. None of them is an ordinary Thousand Face Sword Organization to kill Tang Ke. It is really hard to say that they have worked hard to kill so many masters. They have mobilized so many masters to plan this foolproof killing game.
Tang Ke's heart was beating wildly. He was alone, but he wanted to kill so many assassins. It was so difficult that it was unprecedented. If he didn't do it well, he would have to use the power of the Thunder Scroll for the second time. He let out a sigh of relief, abandoned his distractions, and stepped into the trap designed for him step by step. The assassin next to him kept urging him to move forward, fanning the flames, obviously wanting Tang Ke to panic a little more.
"You don't even consider your weight in the old gun-bar pirate group. You actually started a war with my people. You really don't know how to die." Tang Ke pretended to scream and rushed into the crowd of fighting angrily, making a move to cut off the fourth-level assassinator.
"What is Dongfang Dragon Tangke coming, we are not our opponents?" The assassin named Yueshi pretended to retreat, attracting Tangke to chase him. His acting skills were very good, as if he was really from the old gun-barred pirate group.
Tang Ke rushed forward like this, and many flaws appeared behind him.
The assassins behind all looked fierce, staring at Tang Ke's back, and stabbed Tang Ke's heart with weapons. The corpse lying on the ground raised its head to reveal the dagger in its hand. Even the assassin who was holding the gun behind pointed the muzzle at Tang Ke.
Tang Ke pretended to reveal his flaws, deliberately walked into the crowd, secretly activate the shadow evil sword on his wrist, activated all the remaining energy, and created more than thirty sword energy, which was buzzing in all directions. He turned around quickly, and every time he caught a person's position, he shot out a sword energy.
Accompanied by a sharp roar, the sword energy stabbed the enemy and easily penetrated the enemy's body. Some were killed by a sword and some were hit by a vital point. Only a few powerful assassins avoided in time. Because the first-level assassins were too slow, all of them were caught in the sword.
Tang Ke was very fast. As he turned around, more than twenty corpses were added to the ground. He kept walking for a while, and then slashed at the fourth-level assassinator with a knife. Killing this person can establish the victory.
The assassin, who was leading the "mission failed and withdrawal", made a quick decision and ran forward without looking back, with a speed of more than ten times higher than before.
Other uninjured assassins also scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions. Someone threw a signal flare into the sky. The signal flare with red light emitted a warning sound, dragging a long tail out of the air, and people within a few miles could see it. Obviously, there are many people from the Thousand-Faced Sword Organization lurking in the Little Pirate City. After getting this signal, they are afraid that they will lurk deeper.
Tang Ke was surprised. Unexpectedly, the group of assassins were so decisive in their work. They immediately fled after their actions were exposed. You know, there were more than a dozen assassins present but were not killed. The powerful assassins were even more intact and he chased forward and killed two more assassins, but the fourth-level assassinator had already crossed the wall and disappeared. The assassins escaped in scattered areas, and it was impossible to kill them all. He gave up the pursuit and quickly returned to the site of the incident, intending to catch a living mouth for questioning.
But the injured assassins were foaming at the mouth and rolling their eyes. It turned out that the injured assassins knew they could not escape and had committed suicide by taking medicine.
The assassins of the Thousand Face Knife organization will hold shell-carved poison in their mouths every time they perform a mission. Once they are captured or unable to escape, they will commit suicide immediately. The assassins do this not out of loyalty to the organization. They understand that after being captured, they will be treated worse than death, and they will be better than death.
Tang Ke walked around among more than twenty corpses, looking for a living, but he was disappointed and there was no one left breathing. He bent down and tore off the mask of a deceased, revealing the true appearance of the assassin. The excess flesh and bones on the deceased's face were shaved flat, and the wounds were exposed with reddish-brown scars. In this way, the lines of his face became very smooth, and no matter what mask he wore, he could disguise it very well.
He looked through the human skin mask in his hand. This mask was made of the flesh of fresh corpses and could only be used on the same day and would rot overnight. Every time the Thousand-Faced Knife Organization killed someone, it would make a decision and then move. Or if it didn't take action, it would kill anyone this time. If it weren't for his system, it would probably die here.
From then on, another name will be added to his enemy list - Thousand Faces Knife
Although Tang Ke did not want to let this organization go, his system did not have the ability to investigate the location of the organization. Even if he sent someone to search in Little Pirate City, the possibility of finding these assassins was extremely low, not to mention that Little Pirate City was not a place where he could turn the world upside down.
"The cruelty of the sea is far more than that. This time it is the Thousand-Faced Knife, and next time it may be another group of bounty hunters, and next time it will be the Imperial Navy, which will never end."
After murmured, Tang Ke walked out of the pile of corpses, with blood stuck to his feet. He walked towards the hotel, wanting to notify everyone about this and organize the aftermath work. He walked to the street corner and looked up, he found that there was a vendor selling gadgets next to the road that was not scared away by the battle just now. It seemed that this little pirate city was really crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and even the vendor was so brave. He became a little curious about the vendor, and walked to the front of the vendor, and stopped.
"You are quite brave. Are you not afraid of seeing so many dead people?"
The vendor was a very smart-looking young man with shiny skin, wearing a soft hat and a single-breasted red sleeveless shirt. He raised his head and stared calmly at the murderer who had just killed more than twenty people.
"Every life and death have fixed numbers. Since even life and death are within fixed numbers, what else is there to be afraid of in the world?"
Tangke raised his eyebrows, and his originally unhappy mood was diluted by this brave hawker. He stretched out his olive branch and said, "I like bold people, are you interested in joining my pirate group?"
The vendor smiled and said, "I still prefer to set up stalls and sell things."
Tang Ke only asked on a whim. Since the other party did not agree immediately, he did not continue to get entangled and walked away.
The vendor stared at Tang Ke's back, which had just walked a little far away, and showed a strange smile, but it disappeared immediately. He kept saying, "Sir, please stay. It is also a fate for you and me to meet in the vast sea of people. Why not buy something from me?"
Tangke stopped and glanced at the vendor and said, "I don't like talking about fate with a big man, and I'm not interested in the gadgets you sell."
"Hey, let me tell you the truth. I'm a little short of money recently..."
Without saying a word, Tang Ke took out a handful of Huang Cancan coins from his pocket and threw them on the stall.
"Haha, then thank you for your kindness, but I have never received favors for nothing, so I will give you this book. I think this book will definitely help you." The vendor said, throwing a thin booklet over.
Tang Ke took it and looked at it. The booklet was old and turned yellow. It was held in his hand, as if it was about to break it at any time, and the handwriting in the center was difficult to identify.
"The secret of resurrection...resurrection...resurrection...resurrection?
Tang Ke was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the book that the vendor threw over casually was an ancient book related to this kind of old god supreme. However, this may be just a non-constructed history based on the resurrection spring. He shrugged and said, "Maybe this book will really help me, thank you."
"No thanks, this is what you deserve."
Tang Ke always felt that the hawker was smiling strangely, unlike the man's smile. He was suspicious and used investigation techniques to the hawker, but the hawker had no special identity and was just an ordinary person. He felt that he was too worried, so he shook his head and left here.
After Tang Ke left, a sudden change occurred
The vendor's head suddenly hangs down and faints. Then a black air emerges from his body. The black air is like the cold wind blowing from the cemetery. When a figure blows into the middle of the road, a figure stands up from the black air. The man is wearing a concealed black suit, and his hood is put down to cover his head and face, but from his figure, it can be confirmed that he is a slim woman. A black crow is crawling on her shoulders.
The woman actually met Tang Ke twice with the fortune teller Ivy.
When we first met, Tangke's investigation had no effect on Ivy, which shows that the woman had unfathomable power.
