Chapter 23

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei left Tongzhou City and headed north. They saw that the number of pedestrians gradually became fewer and fewer, and in the end only the two of them were left walking together.

Yan Dufei said: "I have never seen this Yun Feiyang before. I wonder who is better in martial arts and who is lower in Yang Zhenzhong?"

Li Qiufeng said: "It's hard to say. Yun Feiyang once served the late emperor and was one of the late emperor's confidants. I'm afraid he was also quite familiar with Mr. Qiao Sinan. Yang Zhenzhong was an old minister of the current emperor's residence, and he was the old Xingxian king.

Personal bodyguard. In terms of qualifications alone, there is no doubt that Yun Feiyang is higher than Yang Zhenzhong, but he fully thought that he would be able to take over the command of the Jinyi Guards smoothly, but Yang Zhenzhong snatched it away. I see that although he doesn't say anything on the surface,

I feel very unconvinced. In the five years since I entered the palace, I have rarely seen Yun Feiyang and Yang Zhenzhong appear at the same time. The two of them are at odds with each other, and they have gathered a group of dead men in private. If Dongchang hadn't been watching with eagerness,

I'm afraid the two groups have already started fighting."

Yan Dufei sighed: "My senior brother Qiao Sinan's talented martial arts is hard to rival in this world. It's a pity that he followed the late emperor underground. If he is still in the palace, Yang Zhenzhong and Yun Feiyang will only be able to obey him."

Li Qiufeng nodded and said: "Of course. Although I never met Daxia Qiao when I was in the palace, I heard it mentioned by the old guards often. I heard that Daxia Qiao is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very comfortable in the officialdom. It's a pity that he is just a man.

, it is really a big regret for me that I can’t see Daxia Qiao in this life.”

The two of them talked and talked, and before they knew it, they had walked more than twenty miles.

At this time, the two of them had reached a river and suddenly stopped at the same time.

Surrounded by silent mountains and fields, only the gentle breeze rustling the trees could be heard.

Yan Dufei said: "There are mountains and water here, so it is an excellent place to go."

Li Qiufeng said: "It's a pity that some barking dogs and roosters are missing, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment."

Yan Dufei said: "Although there are no barking dogs or roosters, there are some roosters crowing, dogs and thieves." After that, he looked up at a big tree not far away and said loudly: "Since this friend has arrived, please show up.

"

Li Qiufeng had already noticed that there was someone in the tree, but he just didn't tell anyone. He looked up and saw that the large sycamore tree was more than four feet high, with lush branches and leaves, and the leaves rustled in the breeze.

As soon as Yan Dufei finished speaking, he saw that the tree suddenly changed.

The tree has changed!

This tree was originally about an arm thick. In an instant, the trunk suddenly became thinner, and large groups of leaves began to rotate and move rapidly in the air. The whole tree seemed to suddenly come alive.

Various shapes continued to appear in front of the two of them.

Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng were both men who licked blood from their swords. They had seen many strange things in the world, but this was the first time they saw such a strange big tree.

Yan Dufei whispered: "Things have changed. Brother Li, please be careful."

At this moment, there was a flash of silver light in front of them, mixed with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and dozens of hidden weapons flew in front of the two people from the branches and leaves of the big tree.

Yan Dufei and Li Qiufei each wielded their swords, and heard the sound of weapons clashing. All the incoming hidden weapons were knocked away by the two men with their swords. Then they heard a shout, and the big tree in front of them suddenly disintegrated and transformed into more than a dozen trees.

A green or black figure rushed towards the two of them quickly and unpredictably.

These people came so fast, and they were in front of them in just a moment. Li Qiufeng felt the flash of his sword, and a strong wind rushed towards the door. Without thinking, he swung his sword to attack.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng", the opponent slashed four times in four directions from top to bottom, left and right, and Li Qiufeng also blocked the four swords in succession. The opponent struck out the sword very quickly, and as soon as the blade intersected with Li Qiufeng's long sword, he immediately changed his moves and started from the other side.

The direction came over.

Li Qiufeng struck four strikes in a row. When the opponent was about to strike the fifth strike, Li Qiufeng flicked his wrist and struck out first.

The man didn't expect that Li Qiufeng would counterattack with his sword when he was in full defense. In a flash of cold light, Li Qiufeng's long sword had already reached the top of his head. Unable to block it, he had to take three steps back. Unexpectedly

Li Qiufeng ignored others and took three steps in succession. The long knife in his hand struck out six times in an instant.

At this time, there were several killers surrounding Li Qiufeng, each of them slashing at him with their swords, hoping to force him to turn around and cover himself, thus relieving his companions from danger. Unexpectedly, Li Qiufeng turned a blind eye to the others and still pressed on the first one.

The killer who took action saw Li Qiufeng chasing one person, the long knife in his hand constantly greeting him, and several people around him were chasing Li Qiufeng, but they were always one or two steps behind.

Between the lightning and flint, there was only a soft sound of "swipe", and the man finally took a step slower. Li Qiufeng slashed his left shoulder, and blood spurted out. The man let out a "snort" in pain, and suddenly hit the ground.

It rolled and disappeared in the weeds.

Li Qiufeng was startled, and just when he was about to search carefully, the enemies behind him were already chasing after him. Without even looking, Li Qiufeng stabbed him with his backhand, and at the same time, he turned around and walked around the enemies.

He was merciless, and in the blink of an eye, he had slashed six times at the three killers who were chasing him.

The sound of clashing swords was heard continuously. Li Qiufeng fought one against three, fighting first with his swords, forcing the three people to retreat. At the end of the fight, he heard a shout from one person, and the three of them suddenly stood up.

It fell straight into the river and disappeared without a trace.

Li Qiufeng turned around and saw that the five killers surrounding Yan Dufei were also forced to retreat by his long sword. Just as Li Qiufeng was about to step forward to help, one of the killers suddenly took out something from his arms.

, threw it hard on the ground, only to hear a "hoo" sound, a fire suddenly flashed on the ground, and a cloud of smoke rose up. Li Qiufeng was startled, and with a little touch of his right foot, he soared into the sky like a big bird, and floated three steps backward.

Four feet away. When the smoke subsided, Yan Dufei was seen retreating several feet away, with his long sword across his chest to prevent his opponent from pursuing him.

Looking at the five killers again, they were nowhere to be seen.

Since Li Qiufeng's debut, he has gone through dozens of battles, large and small, but it has never been as fierce as it is today. Although these killers do not have deep internal strength, their moves are weird, as fast as lightning, and they are all life-threatening.

The fighting style is many times more dangerous than the competition in martial arts.

Yan Dufei returned his sword to its sheath, walked to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li is an expert in using swords. Can you tell the origin of these people's martial arts?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "These people don't look like decent people from famous families in the world, but they look like killers in the underworld. Although their attacks are sharp, they don't have any tricks at all. Look at their movement skills, which are quite different from those I met in the mountains that night.

The woman in white is somewhat similar. It's just that these people's attacks are more ferocious and their swords are deadly."

Yan Dufei turned around and saw a hidden weapon stuck on the ground. He was worried that it was poisonous, so he picked up a branch and picked out the hidden weapon. He saw that the hidden weapon was the size of a palm, in the shape of a cross, and the four corners were polished extremely sharp, faintly

It showed a jet-black color and was obviously coated with poison. The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they did not know which sect would use such a weird hidden weapon.

The two of them each took out their swords, dug a large hole in the ground, and swept all the strange-shaped hidden weapons scattered around into the pit. They also piled some dead branches and leaves into the pit, and lit a fire with the folding sticks to light a fire. In this way, the hidden weapons were

The highly toxic poison is immediately burned away by fire to prevent anyone from accidentally contacting it in the future and losing their life.

After the fire burned out, the two men buried the pit with soil.

This fight was for no reason, and both Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei were a little depressed. When they walked to the sycamore tree before, they saw that the tree was originally only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Thinking of the clothes and tree trunks worn by the killers

The color is the same, and they are close to the trunk of the tree, actually integrating with the big tree. Some killers wear green coats, hiding on the top of the tree, mixed with the leaves, making it difficult for ordinary people to identify them. If they are not careful, they will be identified.

These killers kill.

Li Qiufeng walked to the place where the man disappeared before and looked carefully, only to see a big hole in the ground covered with weeds. The man got into this hole and escaped.

Yan Dufei said: "These people actually set up so many traps in advance. I think they have been here for a long time. But I really can't imagine any martial arts master in the world who can be so meticulous in their calculations and so vicious in their attacks."

Li Qiufeng said: "No one in Jinyi Guard uses such weird sniping methods, and I have never heard of such a killer in Dongchang. You and I have only left Tongzhou City for an hour, how did these people know that we would leave?"

For this road, so many mechanisms have been prepared in advance?”

When Yan Dufei saw him looking at him, he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about that either. Judging from the enemy's methods, I'm afraid there are more powerful killers lurking ahead."
