I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 676 - 672: Honored Guest Arrives

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s command, Tom immediately stood up and walked towards the weapon cabinet.

"Which weapons do you two like to use?"

"To deal with those damn bionic robots, we’ve forged a lot of alloy weapons."

"There are alloy longswords, daggers, war knives, axes, and some Qimen weapons."

Tom used facial recognition to open the weapon cabinet.

He introduced the types of weapons to Ying Gou and Hou Qing.

Ying Gou and Hou Qing got up and went to the weapon cabinet.

They carefully examined the various weapons inside the cabinet.

The weapons in the cabinet were indeed numerous, giving Ying Gou and Hou Qing a dazzling array of choices.

Ying Gou swept his gaze around and finally picked a war knife and a dagger from the cabinet.

Ying Gou had heard of bionic robots.

But this was the first time he would face them in battle.

So to be safe, he chose one long and one short weapon.

He could attack or defend as needed.

Ying Gou selected his weapons and retreated to the living room.

He kept swinging the war knife and dagger to quickly get familiar with them.

He didn’t want to make mistakes due to unfamiliarity with the weapon’s weight during combat.

Hou Qing hesitated a moment at the weapons cabinet, then chose two alloy daggers.

Hou Qing, being the daughter of the Blacklist leader, whose leader was a traitor to the Tang Sect.

Naturally, she learned Tang Sect martial arts from a young age.

The martial arts of the Tang Sect focus on assassination.

Apart from hidden weapons and poison, they excel in combat with short weapons like daggers.

And within the Tang Sect, the hierarchy is strict and roles are clearly defined.

Apart from those personally taught disciples eligible to learn all Tang Sect martial arts.

The rest, even direct disciples, can only learn one.

No matter how strong one is, without the permission of the sect master and elders, one cannot train in more.

While in the Tang Sect, the Blacklist leader learned the dagger fighting technique.

So naturally, Hou Qing, having learned from her father since childhood, excelled in dagger use.

Seeing Ying Gou and Hou Qing had selected their weapons, Fang Xiaocao also picked up an alloy dagger.

Glancing at the clock, there was less than a minute left until the time Fang Xiaocao mentioned.

Tom also drew the alloy dagger he carried at his waist.

As for bombs, Tom dared not touch them.

Being close to the city, using bombs was akin to suicide.

People in Jianghu adhere to rules.

Unless truly desperate, few would use heavy weapons near the city.

In the past, Tom might have used them.

But Tom now certainly wouldn’t.

To protect Xiaocao, he wouldn’t use them.

He now belonged to Fang Xiaocao, using heavy weapons in the city could doom Xiaocao too.

They might end up captured by Song Lin and others.

As for Thousand Faces, once Fang Xiaocao announced the arrival of a strong enemy, he had already left Villa No. 5 escorted by bodyguards.

The strategist is not meant for combat.

He excels in strategy, his greatest power is his brain.

He should hide in the background, directing the battle remotely.

Rather than grabbing a knife to engage in close combat with enemies.

The seconds ticked away, drawing closer to the time provided by Hot Noodles.

The atmosphere in Villa No. 5 sank into a strange heaviness.

Three super bionic robots, six half-step super bionic robots.

Such strong lineup wasn’t typical enemies.

They’re absolute elites.

Such a combination can overthrow any medium-sized Jianghu force.

Even some super forces under surprise attack could face crippling damage, or even outright destruction.

Ding-ling-ling——

As Fang Xiaocao’s alarm rang, he opened his eyes from meditation.

"They’re here!"

Fang Xiaocao silenced the alarm and whispered.

Before Fang Xiaocao’s voice had faded——

The next second!

Bam——

A silhouette smashed through the villa’s door, flying inside from outside.

Fang Xiaocao and the others focused their gaze, and were shocked.

This uninvited guest who broke the door wasn’t a bionic robot.

It was——

Vermilion Bird!

At this time, Vermilion Bird looked pitiful.

Lying amidst the villa’s shattered wooden door remains, his eyes closed, as if dead.

He was covered in blood, his body scarred from head to toe.

His charmingly bad-boy face was swollen like a pig’s head.

"Vermilion Bird?"

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, a silhouette darted in from outside like an arrow.

Heading straight for Vermilion Bird, who was already unconscious.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao was alarmed.

Vermilion Bird’s condition was clearly dire.

Even if he wasn’t dead, another blow would seal his fate.

With Xuanwu and Hei Ta just recently dead, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t allow another incident among his people.

"Ying Gou, save him!"

There was no time to think, Fang Xiaocao shouted Ying Gou’s name.

Before Fang Xiaocao’s voice had faded, Ying Gou rushed out with his knife.

However, though Ying Gou was fast, someone else’s reaction was faster.

That person was Hou Qing!

Aside from hidden weapons and poison, Tom’s fame in Jianghu wasn’t as a dagger fighter.

But for his light body skill.

And light body skill, every Tang Sect disciple could learn.

Hou Qing naturally knew Tang Sect’s light body skill.

In speed and reaction, Hou Qing was much faster than Ying Gou.

So at the moment Fang Xiaocao shouted to save him, Hou Qing had already sprung out ahead of Ying Gou.

Both hands gripping daggers, she charged at the attacker of Vermilion Bird——

Or rather the bionic robot.

The bionic robot snarled viciously, with an alloy short sword in hand, aiming for Vermilion Bird’s heart.

Slash——

Just as its short sword was less than a centimeter from Vermilion Bird, at the critical moment, Hou Qing arrived.

Hou Qing’s dagger collided with the bionic robot’s short sword, creating a harsh screech.

Sparks flew instantly.

Though Hou Qing’s alloy dagger was small, it firmly blocked the bionic robot’s dagger.

No matter how the bionic robot exerted force, it couldn’t step beyond the thunder pond.

The bionic robot’s eyes flashed red, its short sword suddenly changed direction, slicing towards Hou Qing.

Hou Qing looked fiercely, dodging back to evade the incoming slicing sword.

Following through with a tactical roll, she swept her dagger at the bionic robot’s knee joint.

This half-step super bionic robot reacted swiftly, surprisingly dodging Hou Qing’s attack.

And smoothly launched a counterattack.

The short sword descended from above, aiming for Hou Qing’s heavenly spirit.

Hou Qing performed another tactical roll, creating space from the bionic robot.

She rose, daggers in both hands held alternately, and charged at the bionic robot.

The bionic robot’s eyes lit up red, scanning Hou Qing’s movement trajectory.

Its inbuilt chip informed that acquiring Hou Qing’s combat techniques would be highly beneficial to it.
