It was six o'clock in the morning when Ruth received the message from Xiao Hei. Ruth didn't understand why Xiao Hei, as a Chinese agent, didn't pass the message to Lin Ze, but to herself.
Could it be that he thinks MI6 is more confident in rounding up sharks?
Impossible. Agents from all over the world failed to intercept the shark. MI6 alone did not think that Ruth could bring the shark to justice after learning its whereabouts.
So, why,
Ruth didn't understand, but he still passed the news to Lin Ze immediately, hoping that he could find a solution. When Lin Ze learned the news, he hung up the phone directly and let Ruth call her no matter what. Unable to get through, we had to send troops and generals to where the shark was.
,,,,
Lin Ze stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, bit his lips, and drove to the place where Ruth told him without expression.
But what emerged in my mind were the past three years of getting along with Xiao Hei. Scenes appeared in my mind like a slideshow: Xiao Hei's cynicism, Xiao Hei's righteousness, Xiao Hei's life and death, and Xiao Hei's recklessness to shoulder the consequences for herself. guilt,
Lin Ze knew that Xiao Hei followed him not because of his own will, but because of the arrangement by the leaders of the National Security Bureau. The leaders were very dissatisfied with Lin Ze's style, so they arranged for Xiao Hei to be an informant around Lin Ze. If Lin Ze had Xiao Hei must report any extraordinary behavior to his superiors as soon as possible. However, in the past three years, Xiao Hei has never reported his excessive behavior to his superiors. Instead, he has covered up his behavior so that he can complete the task better.
Like Lin Ze, he may not be a qualified agent, but in the eyes of the director, they are all extremely outstanding agents. Otherwise, how could the director feel confident letting Xiao Hei take over Lin Ze?
In the entire Guoan, besides Xiao Hei, who else can take Lin Ze's place?
But now, Lin Ze shook his head vigorously. He knew the reason why Xiao Hei told Ruth the address. He didn't tell him because he was afraid that he would rush there. He told Ruth the address because he no longer wanted to live, because Qian Qian How can he continue to carry out the mission of national security when he has given up on his death? Even his heart has died.
He didn't want to continue to take on this task that made it difficult for him to breathe. He wanted to die. He wanted to accompany Qianqian...
"Idiot." Lin Ze stepped on the accelerator and muttered to himself, "You are in danger, how can I turn a blind eye to it? If you go to die, don't I, Lin Ze, dare to die with you."
,,,,
buzzing,
The blade was like the sickle of death, cutting towards Xiao Hei's throat with unparalleled sharpness. On the other hand, Xiao Hei had closed his eyes with a peaceful expression on his face, waiting for the dying knife, but in his mind, bits and pieces of his relationship with Qian Qian emerged. , those past experiences with Lin Ze can be called happy no matter what,
This life is enough,
There is a confidante who is willing to die for her, a dead brother who is willing to take a bullet for herself, and a dead brother who is willing to give his life to him. Life is like this, what else can I ask for?
Xiao Hei couldn't help but have a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth. He felt the chill released from the blade rolled into his throat, but his heart was still and he waited silently for death.
Bang,
A roar sounded from the door, and then, the cold blade also stopped abruptly, as if it suddenly stopped, and could no longer move forward half an inch.
tick,
tick,
The sticky and warm liquid dripped on Xiao Hei's neck. Xiao Hei opened his eyes at a loss, and what he saw in front of him was a scene that made him unbelievable.
A black-haired man stared at him with a smile on his face, his right hand tightly holding the blade that almost touched his throat, with a smile on his lips, just like the knowing smile before each mission, Xiao Hei's heart suddenly jumped. Suddenly, I don’t know whether I am happy or sad, all kinds of feelings linger in my heart, it is difficult to describe in words.
"This is how you plan to die." Lin Ze lowered his voice and asked,
"I," Xiao Hei said hoarsely, "I don't want to live anymore."
"But you can't die yet." Lin Ze smiled and shook his head slightly, "If you die, who will send Qianqian's ashes back to your hometown? I, I'm sorry, I have too many women and I don't have time to deal with you."
"If you die, who will take revenge? I, I'm sorry, I'm not sure at all."
"With your death, I have lost one of my few brothers. How can you think only of yourself and not me?"
"I..." Xiaohei's eyes were sour and he was speechless for a moment.
"Promise me that if you have a chance, you will live." Lin Ze's right hand was dripping with blood and he squatted beside him and said, "Qianqian begged to die just so that you can live. If you die, wouldn't it be a waste of her life?" After all the hard work, wouldn’t it mean that she wouldn’t feel at ease even if she died?”
When Xiao Hei heard this, his body trembled violently, and he suddenly said as if he was enlightened: "Okay, if there is a chance, I will live."
"good."
bite,
Lin Ze suddenly stood up and flipped his right hand, but when he heard a clear sound, the sharp blade was actually broken by him. He stretched out his left hand and forced the old man holding the knife back.
"Good skills." The old man stared at Lin Ze eerily, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
The moment Lin Ze suddenly broke in, his blade was indeed unable to avoid Lin Ze's grasp. However, during his conversation with Xiao Hei, he had the opportunity to severely injure Lin Ze, but he did not. He did not want to take advantage of others' danger. , at least unwilling to take advantage of Lin Ze's danger. This is an opponent worthy of respect and an opponent worthy of attention. When he reaches his realm and his age, his pursuit of pleasure is no longer as persistent as that of young people. A peak battle is enough to satisfy his wish,
"You're a man, just stand up." Lin Ze lifted Xiao Hei's right arm, and Xiao Hei also stood up, leaning against the wall and trying to stand up, staring at Lin Ze with blood on his face and said, "Don't worry, since I promised you to survive, then I will no longer beg for death. Moreover, I have just experienced the process from death to life, and then from life to death. I don’t think Qianqian will blame me for not accompanying her anymore."
Lin Ze nodded, turned around suddenly, pulled out the blade from his waist, a green light flashed from the palm of his hand, pointed at the old man shrouded in black robes opposite and said, "Should you come together, or come one by one."
"I have always fought alone." The old man whose blade was broken suddenly shook his arm, and another blade with claws and claws came out from his sleeve, fell into his withered palm, and moved toward Lin Ze with a cold air. split,
bite,
The two people's blades collided, making a harsh friction sound. Lin Ze used brute force to suppress the old man, but the old man flipped his wrist and slashed Lin Ze's shoulder blade, forcing him to block or retreat to dodge.
This extremely simple change of hands made Lin Ze abandon his plan to fight the enemy with brute force. With a stroke of the blade, he drew a circle in the air and lightly pushed away the old man's blade. Then he twisted his waist and turned. He reached the old man's side and slashed out another sword with lightning speed, trying to encircle him in his own circle. However, the old man had experienced hundreds of battles, how could he defeat him with two or three moves? Before Lin Ze could strike with the old man's sword, , the old man turned aside and quickly raised the knife to slash at Lin Ze's neck.
keng,
Lin Ze changed his moves again, blocking the old man's blade accurately, taking advantage of the elasticity to take two steps back, scanning the old man with electric eyes, slightly pursed his lips without saying a word,
This is a strong man who hides his secrets and embraces all rivers. When it comes to the strong men he has met, the only ones who can compare with or be slightly better than him are Ye Long and Moshu, the second few peerless strong men in the world. No matter how many there are, it is really difficult to find. At this moment, Lin Ze is facing two such masters. Fortunately, they did not play siege, but resorted to wheel fighting. Although Lin Ze was under less pressure than in a group fight. Smaller, but the test of endurance becomes more intense. If you make a slight mistake, you may be killed by the opponent.
The thoughts in my mind were like lightning, and I quickly thought about my situation.
Kill two people,
The possibility is extremely small or even impossible,
To deal with the shark,
That is even more impossible,
The only thing that can be relied on now is that Ruth can arrive in time and catch all the sharks in one fell swoop. However, Lin Ze has no hope for this. Not only are shark spies placed everywhere in the hotel, but also because of the speed of Ruth and others, it may not be possible for them to do so. How can it be so fast?
The actions of MI6 were not Lin Ze's alone. He acted alone and could rush forward at all costs. However, MI6 had to obtain approval from his superiors to carry out its tasks. In addition, it had to deploy troops and generals, etc. When Ruth arrives, maybe she and Xiao Hei have become dead souls...
But these are not what Lin Ze should consider at this moment. What he has to do and can do now is to try his best to defeat the old man in black robe in front of him.
The palm of his hand once again grasped the blade. This time, he did not strike rashly, but stared coldly at the old man, studying the signs of his strike and the style of his strike.
The old man saw Lin Ze standing motionless, but he was not in a hurry to take action. The numbness in his turbid eyes slowly faded away, replaced by a bright light, and he said with great fighting spirit: "I wanted to fight with you three years ago. , I have not waited for this opportunity until now. Although I am a little impatient to wait, it is not too late."
"What are you waiting for?" Lin Ze drew a line of frightening green light in the air with his sword,
"You have become stronger again." The old man narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "Strong enough to kill the top master of Yiyantang in just three minutes."
"How capable can a Japanese pig be?" Lin Ze sneered,
"That's the truth." The old Chinese man said with a reserved smile, "Those self-righteous guys always think that they are the best in the world, but they don't know that there are many people in China who are better than them."
"I have never heard of your name." Lin Ze stared at the old man with stern eyes, somewhat intending to ask about his identity.
Seeing that Shark was not in a hurry, the old man started chatting and said, "Is there a master list in Yanjing now?"
"There are no specifics, but the people at the top of the pyramid will make a numerical comparison." Lin Ze said calmly,
He didn't mind waiting, and Lin Ze naturally didn't mind either. In fact, Lin Ze hoped that Ruth could arrive in time before the fight started, so that he could fight without any blood.
But deep down, he also understood that this was basically impossible. The old man would waste time, but not too much.
"It's a joke." The old man raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "They came up with the master list. It's simply ridiculous."
"Oh." Lin Ze said in surprise, "Maybe it was a one-on-one fight between the masters."
"Of course." The old man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "It seems that the so-called masters in China have lost their spirit and are no longer as high-spirited as those twenty years ago."
"Twenty years ago." Lin Ze asked curiously, "At that time, masters would compete for this master list."
"That year," the old man seemed to be lost in memories, murmuring to himself, "that year, the snow covered the capital, and more than ten of the most powerful people in China gathered at Jiufeng to compete for the title of No. 1 in the world. , these ten people were all the most powerful masters in China twenty years ago, and they were also recognized as strong men. The ten people gathered at Jiufeng and fought for three days and three nights before the winner was determined and the ranking was obtained. This is the real ranking, and it is not recommended by the rich guys nowadays."
When Lin Ze heard this, he couldn't help but be fascinated. Ten strong men gathered at Jiufeng to compete for the first place in the world. Their domineering grace was beyond Lin Ze's imagination, but he also understood that those old monsters who are now hidden in China might be... They must all be the peerless experts who went to Jiufeng back then.
"How many of these ten people are left now?" Shark, who is proficient in Chinese, asked with interest.
"At most six people." The old man said melancholy,
"Oh." Shark smiled, "You once said that practicing martial arts can not only strengthen your body, but also extend your life. How come there are only six of you left now."
"That battle lasted for three days and three nights before the final winner was determined. Three of them died on the spot, and the remaining one was seriously injured and went down the mountain. He died of illness in less than three years." The old man said in a dull voice. ,
"What a pity..." Shark sighed sadly,
"What a pity." The old man sneered and said without any sense of pride, "I am also one of them. I am alive and have lived for twenty years after coming down the mountain, but I am the bottom one among these ten people."
Lin Ze remained silent while Shark raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What about him?"
Shark pointed to the old man standing next to him,
"He was fifth." The old man said calmly, "Among the three masters who died on the spot, one was killed by him."
The shark smiled slightly and stopped talking, as if he had determined something.
"Who is number one?" Lin Ze, who had been silent for a long time, asked with great interest,
"First." The old man paused suddenly, and then slowly said after a long time, "After he came down the mountain, he disappeared. No one knows where he went, and no one knows whether he is still alive. In the past twenty years, China has never heard anyone claiming to be the best in the world. Even though the left-handed swordsman who has become famous in China and has a very high status among the older generation still just wants the title of the second in the world, the best in the world, hum. Humph, except for the man from twenty years ago, who would dare to boast about it?"
"There are four people in China now, and there are two here, yes or no." Lin Ze took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice,
"Not bad." The old man said proudly,
Lin Ze turned around and glanced at Xiao Hei, who was seriously injured. If he waited for a moment, his life would be in danger. He suddenly turned back, grinned, and said in an unparalleled and sonorous voice: "From today on, there are only four of the top ten masters in China left. .”
buzzing,
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was suddenly raised, emitting a dazzling green light, and slashed towards the old man's face like a roaring dragon.
~~
Where do you think Brother Xiao Lin ranks among the top ten masters of the older generation?
