303 Chipo (2/2)
Both Liu Zu and Xu Xiaoyi thought that Dragon King's proposal was not reliable, ”If they are willing to pay one million taels, wouldn't it be better to just give it to Chipo and save themselves? Why would they give it to us?”
”Just tell them what I said, don't worry about the rest. With this million taels, the Great Snowmountain will be able to survive for a little longer.”
Xu Xiaoyi nodded without conviction. Even though he thought that Dragon King's ideas were becoming weirder and weirder, he still trusted Brother Huan and would obey his orders. ”We have already found where Chipo and those robbers who used to come to Jade City are. I really don't get all these people, who are of similar personalities.”
After Gu Shenwei brought back the Melon-hilted Scimitar from North City, he made Xu Xiaoyi pay close attention to Chipo's whereabouts. The attack last night exposed the solitary robber.
The situation was not something that surprised Xu Xiaoyi. Liu Zu was very surprised by Dragon King's proposal. He almost didn't believe his own ears. He even doubted what Xu Xiaoyi was telling him, believing it to be some fake news. After finally making sure that it was true, Liu Zu becomes very stubborn, ”Tell Dragon King that if people respect him, he must respect them too. If he's so hungry, let him go to Chipo and ask for money.”
That night, Gu Shenwei really took Chu Nanping to Chipo and ”ask for money”.
Chipo liked a comfortable life, no matter how much the bounty on his head was. Every year he would spend one month in the Jade City and squander all of his savings.
All the money that he snatched through robberies had to be spent. This was one of his few beliefs.
Some people said Chipo was fearless, but he knew how to avoid Golden Roc Fort. As for Dragon King, Chipo does not even consider him as a threat. Even if the enemy suddenly broke through the door with the Five Peaks Saber in his hand, he would not show any signs of astonishment or fear.
Chipo looked very confident with the Melon-hilted Scimitar in his hand. On the contrary, the half-naked prostitute next to him was as white as a ghost. She shrieked and threw herself into Chipo's arms.
Chipo grabbed the prostitute's hair only to throw her aside. He took out his saber, ”News about Dragon King is true then, and he's already here. I thought I would have to wait a little longer for him.”
”You owe me six lives and a saber.” Gu Shenwei said, keeping a distance of seven or eight steps from Chipo's bed.
Chipo pointed at the prostitute on the other side of the bed, ”Does this one count?”
As he uttered these words, he unsheathed the Melon-hilted Scimitar. The blade shined before being impaled into the prostitute's chest. Fresh blood gushed out as she fell down onto the bed. The blood rapidly soaked the bedsheet, coming close to Chipo, but he did not care. He calmly put the saber away, ”Stinky whore, I bet even you heart stinks. How dare you sell me out and then take my money?”
Chipo was about thirty years old. His body was well built, his arms muscular, everything in him was full of strength. Even though he was very handsome, there was a kind of madness in his eyes that sees human lives as something trifle, which gave him a frightening and ugly look.
Chipo was right. Xu Xiaoyi's lackeys heard the news from the prostitute.
Gu Shenwei did not interfere, then placidly shook his head, ”No, this one doesn't count.”
Chipo burst into laughter, but his smile suddenly disappeared from his face. The fierce look in his eyes could have scared a timid person to death, ”In this case, I shall give you another life.”
Chipo had just uttered these words when something flew through the window and fell onto the floor, spinning.
They were the two heads of Chipo's servants. Last night they took part in the attack on the Residence of Dragon King with their master, and then they sought pleasure with the prostitutes next door. This resulted with their heads on the floor.
Last night's battle only lasted for a short period of time, Chu Nanping did not have many chances to fight back. Even though he could finally prove his swordcraft this time , he just stayed outside, without entering the room.
Red Spirit glanced at the heads on the floor without changing his expression. He then took out his saber for the second time.
He was still sitting on the bed when he pulled out the saber. He was already in front of Dragon King when the scimitar had just been completely unsheathed.
At that moment, four men entered the room, blocking Dragon King's retreat with their sabers.
Gu Shenwei took a step back. Thanks to this simple and swift move, he avoided Chipo's saber just in time. Futhermore, he was already standing behind the four interceptors. No one saw how he managed to do it clearly.
The four men stared at him blankly and then jumped into the jaws of death.
Gu Shenwei killed the four of them and then used their bodies as a shield to protect himself from Chipo's attack.
Chipo was furious. He cried out and waved his scimitar around, smashing everything that was in his way. His already dead mates were of no exception.
What once was a place of tenderness became a place of carnage. Chipo was a mad devil. Only one thing could calm him down — a saber on his neck.
Chipo's kung fu was remarkable, but he could not control himself. Usually, his enemy would be scared by his madness, and this, in turn, would make him even wilder. This time, however, his enemy was like an iceberg.
Chipo gasped, ”I underestimated you. Just seven lives, you have earned one more. Take it.”
”You can also pay your debts in other ways.”
”Do you want money?”
”Yes, but it would not be enough.”
Chipo finally understood why Dragon King did not kill him, ”Do you want me to betray Wildhorse?”
Gu Shenwei nodded.
Chipo burst out into laughter, he did not care about the saber on his neck, ”I underestimated you. But you made the same mistake. Let's fight, Dragon King.”
Gu Shenwei moved the Five Peaks Saber away from Chipo's neck slowly, ”I have a better idea.”
