In this way, the departure of the man with thick-rimmed glasses was a relief to the stall owner.
On the contrary, it's a good thing!
Take it or leave it!
The man with thick-rimmed glasses took a few steps, then stopped on his own.
The expected welcome from the boss did not happen.
The other person seemed not to see the man with thick-rimmed glasses.
Cao Kun strode over.
"How much?"
Cao Kun asked the question knowing the answer already.
"5000!"
The stall owner said with a smile.
"it is good."
Cao Kun opened his backpack, took out his wallet, and counted out 5000 yuan.
He handed it to the stall owner.
The latter took it, beaming from ear to ear.
He stuck a mouthful of saliva on his fingers and began to count.
Confirmed.
Cao Kun picked up the Han Dynasty bronze ghost mirror in front of him and put it into his backpack.
In reality, it was placed inside the Xuanhan dragon-patterned thumb ring.
The man with thick-rimmed glasses was dumbfounded.
He never expected to meet someone who shared his ideals.
The other party was wealthy and generous, and directly bought the bronze mirror that he had his eye on.
Ignoring the other party's thoughts, Cao Kun quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared into the darkness.
Cao Kun's Golden Eyes activated once more, quickly distinguishing between the real and the fake.
[Republic of China Period Famille Rose Enamel Ladies Vase: A genuine piece from the late Republic of China period, unearthed in 38. The enamel colors are warm and lustrous, the ladies' faces are delicate, and the brushstrokes are fine. The vase has slight wear and no dragon-like features. It is a common folk kiln product from the Republic of China period. Although genuine, its value is not high and it can be collected as a common antique.]
[A Qing Dynasty imitation of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy scroll: A Republic-era forgery, made of aged Xuan paper, with stiff characters, uneven ink, and a blurry signature and seal. It lacks the vigorous and unrestrained spirit of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy, and the refined literary charm.]
[Republic of China blue-glazed porcelain jar: A modern imitation. The blue glaze is uneven, the surface is rough, there is no mark on the bottom, and the artificially aged soil stains are fake. It has a very low cost and sells for only a few dozen yuan.]
[Republic-era imitation of Zhang Daqian's landscape paintings: A modern forgery, made of aged Xuan paper with stiff brushstrokes. It uses only inferior pigments to mimic the texture of Republic-era calligraphy and paintings, and is a common counterfeit found in ghost markets.]
……
Cao Kun continued walking forward.
A short while later, he bought an incense burner and a porcelain vase.
Cross the small bridge in front of you.
Suddenly, a fight broke out, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
"Old Jin, you didn't do this properly."
"I clearly saw it first! Don't be fooled by our shared surname, Jin; we're mortal enemies in the same industry!"
A man standing nearby shouted, followed by five thugs.
Big Gold Tooth originally planned to come to the ghost market to find bargains.
I never intended to get into a conflict with anyone!
The opposing side has a large and powerful force.
Big Gold Tooth was actually at a disadvantage!
The crowd of onlookers were just other customers looking for bargains.
They all adopted a "better safe than sorry" attitude and stood by and did nothing.
Boom!
In no time at all.
Big Gold Tooth got beaten black and blue.
As the old saying goes.
Two fists can't beat four hands!
Big Gold Tooth was old and frail, with both arms and legs weakened, and his legs were also disabled.
That's something we simply can't win against.
You can't run away now.
Cao Kun didn't understand what was happening, but he stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd.
Seeing this, the people around automatically made way for him.
At this moment, Cao Kun realized that the one who was being beaten was Big Gold Tooth.
Big Gold Tooth fell to the ground, flailing his arms and legs, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure.
Cao Kun?
He immediately climbed over to Cao Kun.
The thugs behind him strolled past slowly, like they were walking dogs.
Soon, they arrived in front of Cao Kun.
By this time, the crowd that had been watching behind them had all left.
"Hey kid, you think you can pull this on?"
"Are you blind? Get the hell out of here!"
……
The thugs stared at Cao Kun with menacing expressions.
"I'm standing on the street, do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?"
Cao Kun glanced at the other party and said indifferently.
fuck!
What's going on?
Those five thugs were all reckless and unruly.
I can tell.
Cao Kun is trying to stand up for Big Gold Tooth.
Now, Big Gold Tooth has long been beaten black and blue.
He looked at Cao Kun with a grateful expression, saying, "Master Cao..."
Big Gold Tooth mumbled his thanks.
"Hmph, where did this brat come from, daring to act arrogantly in front of my Jin Wantang?"
The man opposite him frowned and asked with a sinister look on his face.
He was in his early forties and of medium build.
She was rather thin and wore a black short jacket.
The man's sleeves were rolled up to his forearms.
He revealed a menacing snake tattoo on his arm.
Needless to say, it was Jin Wantang!
Seeing someone ruining their good deed.
A flash of malice crossed Jin Wantang's eyes.
Then, he put on a disdainful expression.
Anyway, they have the Huo family, one of the Nine Gates, as their powerful backers.
The vast Panjiayuan.
Jin Wantang is capable of anything.
They dare to mess with anyone!
After Jin Wantang introduced himself, he saw that Cao Kun still had an indifferent expression.
The sinister look in his eyes was even more intense!
"Kid, I think you're tired of living. Brothers, teach him a lesson."
"Let him know who calls the shots at Panjiayuan!"
Jin Wantang shouted.
The five thugs, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, heard the order.
He immediately charged towards Cao Kun with a sinister grin on his face.
All five were thugs that Jin Wantang kept by his side year-round.
They were all burly men who ran rampant in the ghost market and were ruthless in their actions.
Many people who have been scammed have suffered losses at their hands.
The guy charging ahead was eight feet tall with a face full of scars.
He was still clutching a wooden stick as thick as his arm when he rushed towards Cao Kun.
Without saying a word, he swung the stick and smashed it on the top of his head.
The blow from the stick was fierce.
The other four henchmen followed closely behind, some throwing punches and others kicking, surrounding them from all sides.
This blocked Cao Kun's escape route.
They clearly intended to swarm Cao Kun and give him a good beating.
To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey.
Let everyone around know that offending Jin Wantang will not end well.
Facing an attack from five people.
Cao Kun remained calm, showing no sign of panic.
He was just about to take down these five thugs in front of him.
Try out the power of the Azure Dragon Technique you just learned!
He shifted his feet slightly while simultaneously circulating the Azure Dragon Technique within his body.
The faint dragon energy in Cao Kun's dantian traveled rapidly along his meridians.
Immediately, a faint, dark golden halo appeared on his hands and feet.
The instant the opponent's stick came swinging.
Cao Kun delivered a fierce side kick.
The kick landed precisely on the stick, its momentum undiminished, heading straight for the opponent's face.
A muffled "thump!"
The younger brother let out a scream.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, along with several teeth.
His body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he was sent flying backwards in an instant.
He fell heavily to the ground.
On the other side, a henchman's fist was already slamming into Cao Kun's face.
Cao Kun reached out and precisely grabbed the other person's wrist.
There was a soft "click!" sound.
Accompanied by the younger brother's heart-wrenching wails.
The younger brother's wrist was snapped, and his arm hung limply.
Cao Kun then raised his foot and kicked him in the knee.
With another crisp crack, the underling's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, his face full of pain, his previous arrogance completely gone!
Cao Kun's body moved swiftly and agilely, like a swimming dragon.
He moved among the remaining three people.
Dragon energy flowed into Cao Kun's limbs and bones.
Every punch and kick he delivered carried a chilling power.
Every punch lands with a thud, every kick is deadly.
The remaining three were also lying on the ground.
This feeling, this emotion.
Fear finally showed in Jin Wantang's eyes.
Holy shit.
Who has this guy provoked?!
