Chapter - 332 Inn In a Deserted Village (7) (1/2)

Yang Kang laughed, ”Amazing! I am impressed! What if I bow to you and take you as my master? Then you'll teach me this special trick.” While saying that he bent down under the table.

Mu and Cheng both women had decided that as soon as he touched their feet, they would kick his 'tai yang' [sun] acupoint on his temple. Yang Kang smiled and said, ”Mr. Ouyang, drink another cup of wine, then I'll tell you if your guess is correct.”

”All right!” Ouyang Ke laughed, taking the cup with both hands. Yang Kang glanced upward from underneath the table, he saw Ouyang Ke was drinking the wine with his head thrown backward; suddenly he took a broken spearhead from his bosom. He sent all his strength to his arm, from his arm to his wrist, lunged it forward and 'Stab!' the spearhead went five, six inches deep into Ouyang Ke's abdomen. Immediately he somersaulted backward behind the table.

It was such a sudden change that Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia were all startled. They only knew something changed, but nobody saw what happened under the table. Ouyang Ke raised his arms and pushed Mu and Cheng two women, they fell under the bench; and then he threw the wine cup in his hand out. Yang Kang ducked to evade and 'crash!' that cup hit the ground and turned into thousands pieces; indicating the power behind that throw must be astonishing.

Yang Kang rolled on the ground, trying to escape to the door. Unfortunately the door was blocked by the coffins. He turned his head to see Ouyang Ke was standing on his hands on the bench, his body bent forward, his face looked like he was smiling yet he was not smiling, his eyes were staring at him with a weird expression. Yang Kang shuddered involuntarily. He wanted very bad to run away, but because of Ouyang Ke's stare, his body stiffened like a corpse, he could not move.

Ouyang Ke looked upward with a laughter and said, ”I, the one surnamed Ouyang, have been roaming the world for half of my lifetime; unexpectedly I have to die under this kid's hands. One thing I don't understand, Xiao Wangye, why did you kill me?”

Yang Kang moved his legs and leaped up; he wanted to escape outside the door before answering his question. While his body was still midair, suddenly he felt a gust of wind behind his back; the back of his neck was grabbed by a steel-hook hand. He was unable to continue his leap and was forced to land on the coffin, along with Ouyang Ke next to him.

Ouyang Ke said, ”You are not willing to talk, do you want me to die with my eyes open?”

The acupoint on the back of Yang Kang's neck was grabbed by Ouyang Ke; he could not move his limbs. He knew he would not escape alive, he laughed coldly and said, ”All right, I'll tell you. Do you know who she is?” While saying that he pointed his finger toward Mu Nianci.

Ouyang Ke turned his head and saw Mu Nianci with a dagger in her hand, ready to pounce forward to help, but she was afraid she might hurt Yang Kang; her expression was full or concerns, exactly like what Cheng Yaojia showed toward Lu Guanying. Suddenly it dawned on Ouyang Ke. He laughed and said, ”She … she …” his words were cut short by coughing.

Yang Kang said, ”She is my fiancée; twice you have bullied her. How can I let you go?”

Ouyang Ke said with a smile, ”So that's how it is. We are going to hell together!” Raising his hand high his palm was ready to strike the top of Yang Kang's head.

Mu Nianci cried out in alarm, she rushed forward to save him, but it was too late. Yang Kang closed his eyes ready to die; he waited for Ouyang Ke's palm to strike down; who would have thought that after waiting for a while there was nothing moving above his head. He opened his eyes and saw Ouyang Ke was still smiling with his hand still high in the air, but his left hand, which grabbed Yang Kang's neck, was actually relaxed. Hastily Yang Kang struggled free and leaped away. Ouyang Ke tumbled down on top of the coffin, his breathing had ceased.

After staring blankly for half a day, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci rushed to each other and held each other's hands. They had countless words to say to each other, but neither one knew where to start. They both looked at Ouyang Ke's body and still felt fear in their hearts.
