Chapter 242: Joining forces to kill
Looking at the piece of wood that suddenly appeared in front of him, surprise, astonishment, anger…all kinds of emotions filled Matthew’s face.

Is he actually a Devil Fruit user?

“I really underestimated you, little brat.”

Ignoring the pain in his waist, even though blood was gushing out due to Xia He’s stirring, Matthew did not stop at all. He dragged the giant blade again, turned around and smashed it hard on Xia He’s head.

The moment the giant blade hit him, Xia He immediately dropped the two swords in his hands and rolled to the side.

Who knew he had just stabilized his body…

boom!
The fist hit the flesh.

Xia He only heard a few sounds of breaking bones, and then the whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

“Wow!”

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and after Xia He moved horizontally for about twenty meters in the air, he began to fall.

Then, after landing, he slid a long distance and hit a tree trunk hard. Xia He felt extremely painful in every joint of his body and felt like he was about to pass out.

“Little devil, you asked for this…”

Without any intention of taking out the sword from his waist, Matthew took a step forward and moved closer to Xia He.

I have to say that the people in the pirate world are indeed perverted to a certain extent.

If this happened to someone in the world of science, except for Kyogoku Makoto, anyone who was stabbed in the kidney would probably collapse immediately and completely lose the ability to move.

“I’m going to cut you into pieces and feed you to the fish in the sea.” He grinned and dragged the knife, as if he had already imagined the scene of dismembering Xia He in his mind.

But before he could swing the knife.

boom!
There was another gunshot.

A lead bullet grazed his face and knocked a branch behind him to the ground.

The person who fired the lead bullet was undoubtedly Luo, who had just abandoned Xia He and escaped alone.

At this moment, he was riding on the branch of a big tree, holding a modified flintlock pistol, and aiming the crosshairs on the gun at Matthew’s forehead.

This gun was modified by Xia He for him. The effective shooting distance was increased by more than two times from about two hundred meters. He stuffed this thing into his crotch from the beginning and only took it out to use it now.

Matthew narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo, a hint of murderous intent emanating from him.

Ke Luo seemed unaware of this and shouted at Xia He, “Hey, Xia He, can you still move?”

“What… do you think…?” Xia He rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Just think about it, which two-year-old child could withstand that punch?

But having said that, he still tried to move his body.

But what I got in return was excruciating pain.

Apparently, his broken ribs had punctured his internal organs.

“Wow!”

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xia He, who had crawled forward more than ten meters, finally chose to give up.

Seeing this, Luo frowned subconsciously, “Hey, you’re not going to be able to do it, are you?”

“I…” Xia He moved his lips.

“Forget it, don’t talk anymore. I can’t count on you now anyway. Just lie there and rest.”

Xia He: “.” After Luo finished speaking, he took a deep breath and fired two more lead bullets at Matthew, but they both hit the tree trunk, which was extremely off target.

So he spat on the ground, threw away the gun, and took out a dagger from his pants. “Hey, big guy, the wound on your waist, the bleeding is probably unstoppable, right? If you don’t find a doctor for treatment, you will probably die soon from excessive bleeding.”

He understood medicine and knew the value of Xia He’s two knives.

Similarly, Matthew knew that if he pulled out the sword, he would faint on the spot, so he allowed it to remain stuck in his body.

Now, hearing Luo’s “taunting” words, Matthew, who was already very anxious, was too lazy to pretend anymore. He immediately quickened his pace and ran straight to where Luo was.

“come yet……”

Luo, with his arms bare, straightened the spotted hat on his head, his heartbeat suddenly quickened at this moment.

Can I really do it?

Even Xia He couldn’t deal with this guy. How can I, whose swordsmanship is so poor, defeat him?

As he thought to himself, the hand holding the dagger became even tighter.

“It’s not completely impossible…”

After all, I am much older than Xia He. Although his swordsmanship is more sophisticated than mine, he is definitely inferior to me in terms of strength and speed…

Plus the big guy was so badly injured…

Maybe I can really kill him?
I started to think about the tactics for later.

Finally, when Matthew approached him, Luo also lowered his body, using the fighting skills that Lao G taught him some time ago, and stabbed Matthew in the crotch.

The first move is the vital point.

I have to say, in this respect, Luo and Xia He are really similar.

Perhaps because he had also studied medicine and was quite knowledgeable about the human body, the moment Matthew dodged the sharp knife, Luo immediately changed the trajectory of the knife and cut towards Matthew’s leg artery.

There is no doubt that if this knife were to be implemented, any normal person would end up disabled.

But how could Matthew give Luo such an opportunity?
A rough big hand grabbed the blade, and Matthew pulled Luo into the air with the knife and himself.

Luo, who was being dragged, kicked Matthew in the jaw in panic.

Boom!
There was a touch on the toes.

But as expected, the scene of Matthew being kicked unconscious by him did not appear. Instead, the other party grabbed Luo’s neck and pressed him hard into the mud.

The feeling of suffocation came instantly.

Seeing that he was about to be strangled to death, Luo quickly squeezed out a sentence from his throat: “I… have platinum lead disease…”

Sure enough, after hearing this, Matthew loosened his hands suddenly after noticing the white spots on Luo’s face.

Luo took advantage of this opportunity, pulled out another dagger hidden in his crotch, and stabbed it hard into Matthew’s calf.

“what!!”

Screams soon rang out.

Matthew staggered and reached out to grab Luo.

But at this time…

boom!
A golden bullet cut through the air and shot into the back of Matthew’s head, then went out from the front of his forehead.
