The gray clouds blocked the sunshine, and even God seemed to be helping to create an atmosphere of imminent rain.
At this moment, three figures appeared on the empty street.
The leader walking in the middle is a middle-aged man.
He was dressed in rags, holding a stick-like weapon wrapped in rags in his hand, and walked slowly and step by step.
The two people following him on both sides looked much more eye-catching than him; Oda Ai and Sasaki Ming were players after all, and their appearance and temperament were very different from the ordinary characters in the script, even if the system treated their appearance
With a certain degree of "harmony", they are still eye-catching.
The three of them just walked on the widest main road in the middle of Linlu Town, walking in the silent cold wind, and in the sight of countless people hiding in the dark...
call out
Suddenly, a sharp sound of wind pierced the air and the suffocating depression.
Ping!
Oda had quick eyes and quick hands. He raised one hand and used his wrist guard to easily block the flying hidden weapon.
But, this is just the beginning...
Before the first hidden weapon hit the ground, the subsequent attacks had already arrived.
In the blink of an eye, black spots like a shower came from all directions around the three of them.
Those hidden weapons include darts, knives, needles, and bullets... Each hidden weapon has its own unique speed, strength, and killing method.
Not to mention methods such as quenching poison, some concealed weapons are added with gunpowder and will explode the moment they are blocked; some will split into two or more while traveling; some can even suddenly change their flight trajectory.
stuff.
Facing such a siege in a place with no cover, generally speaking, the only option is to jump into the sky.
However, those three people... stood still and did not move.
"Sick Sword..." At that moment, Sasaki Ming took action. When he announced the name of the move, he also looked sick, "... Round Sha."
The words fell and the sword appeared.
The next second, a transparent circular force field spread out with Ming Sasaki as the center, covering Oda Ai and the middle-aged man on the side.
I don’t know what the principle behind his move [Sick Sword, Round Brake] is. His sword is clearly still in its sheath, but it can still create a saturated sword force field, blocking all the hidden weapons in that "round brake".
"Outside the scope.
After this round of combined attacks, the three of them were unscathed.
"ah"
Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, something strange happened again.
But after hearing a scream, a person flew out from the second-floor window of a building on the roadside.
As soon as the man landed on the ground, more screams and the sound of weapons clashing began to appear.
"Hmph...Does the dog bite the dog start..." Oda Ai looked at the figures flying out of the building and the dark alley, and he already knew what was happening in places that he couldn't see.
Her conjecture is indeed correct. It is now a "black eating black" situation.
The group of people who took the lead in attacking them were those of the "Kai Feng Hui".
This sect, to put it harshly... is an armed theft gang. Everyone in the sect is good at concealed weapons and light martial arts. In terms of fair duels in broad daylight, they are not very strong, but they are capable of assassinations, ambushes, and thefts.
For such activities, their skills are not bad.
Last night, the Kwai Feng Club killed many more martial arts people than the Kuanghu Gang. Of course... they killed basically all minions, and they couldn't kill many of the real masters.
Compared with the wily and scheming Tu Ji, the head of the Jie Feng Society was relatively simple-minded, so that after the whole night of assassination operations, their own losses were also very heavy. By noon today, they had a total of
About thirty people.
With such strength, it is obviously difficult to handle "Sword Dance Chronicles".
Therefore, Jie Fenghui came up with a simple and direct strategy that is very likely to be effective... strike first to gain the upper hand.
They deliberately chose an area not far from the entrance of the town to ambush, and their plan was to strike first, in order to take away the person carrying the secret book in one wave, and then use their sect's advantage in light skills to grab the items and run away quickly.
.
But they never expected that...the attack that had been brewing for a long time and was inevitable was easily defused by the target; not only that, the three sects of Beggar Clan, Hailong Sect, and White Plum Sect were attacked the most by them last night.
, had already laid an ambush in the outer areas. As soon as the people from the Jie Feng Hui took action, the people from the three sects came and made dumplings for them.
The fight... was over soon.
This is more like a massacre than a fight.
More than 140 people killed 30 people, and they were calculated mentally and unintentionally. If the latter could persist for a minute or two, it was considered good.
After every member of the Jiefeng Club lay down on the ground, a dark group of people appeared from all over the streets and alleys, blocking the way of the three people.
The leaders there were also three people.
The first person is a man with gray hair shawl and wearing light-colored clothing. Judging from his appearance, he must be at least sixty years old, but there is no trace of old age in his movements.
This man, named Luo Can, is the current leader of the Beggar Clan.
As a gang with a long history, the Beggar Clan has produced many outstanding heroes among its successive leaders; unfortunately, Luo Can is not ranked high in terms of talent, martial arts, or wisdom.
If there is anything commendable about him, it is that... he successfully restored the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" that had been lost within the gang for decades by relying on some missing and incomplete techniques collected from various places.
”.
If it were more than a hundred years ago, this would not be a big deal. At that time, there were many foreign martial arts at a higher level than the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. But in this "post-martial arts era", people with such a set of skills
Luo Can's palm skills are enough to join the ranks of super masters, unrivaled in the world.
Let’s talk about the second person...
This man's name is Gu Jiaolong. His clothes are ordinary and are often worn by martial arts practitioners, but his appearance is very distinctive.
Yes, you read it right, and I wrote it right, that’s what he looks like; therefore, this young gang leader of Hailongmen has the nickname “Jade-faced Dragon”.
As the name suggests, Hailongmen is a sect that relies on the sea to make its living. It can be regarded as half martial arts and half businessman. Unlike other sects, Hailongmen has always had a "good relationship" with the government because they regularly give gifts to some high-ranking officials and officials in the DPRK.
The local officials provided rare treasures and delicacies from the sea, so they gained a lot of convenience.
In the Jiangnan coastal area, Hailongmen can be said to be the dominant force. To give an example that is not an exaggeration, private salt business can be done openly as long as it is within their sphere of influence.
As for the martial arts of this sect... Generally speaking, there is no superior martial arts that can be used, but there are a few sets of powerful external kung fu in the sect, which are quite passable in actual combat.
Finally, look at the third person.
It was a woman, a woman so fat that it was difficult to tell her gender.
Maybe it doesn't seem unusual now, but in a society based on agriculture and relatively poor in material resources, it was quite rare to see a fat man weighing more than 100 or 200 pounds.
This female leader... or rather... the female leader, is named Feng Meiyu; this name was chosen by herself when she grew up. When she was a child, she had no name, or it could be said that she had many names...
No one may believe it, but when she was fifteen years old, the head of Feng in front of her was the number one in a particularly famous romantic place in the capital. At that time, her name was "Feng'er".
Back then, Feng'er was a beautiful woman. Even though she was only a young girl, her precocious body had already conquered countless princes and grandsons in the capital.
Because she was a child picked up by the madam of a brothel and grew up in that environment since she was a child, she did not seem to be opposed to selling her body to live a good life.
But, one day, she changed.
A woman's transformation is usually related to a certain man, and Feng'er is no exception.
When she was nineteen years old, she fell in love with a young man from a poor family. She loved his appearance, his talent, and every minute she spent with him; she still remembered him even many years later.
That tenderness.
However, this relationship soon ended with the young master's untimely death.
His death was not an accident, it was just because he and Feng'er got too close, which gave the latter the idea of redeeming himself. This was obviously something some people didn't want to see, and those "some people",
They are all people who can make a difference in the capital. To them, killing a poor scholar is like squeezing an ant to death.
From then on, although Feng'er seemed normal on the surface, in fact, her heart was completely swallowed up by the flames of revenge.
She used her own methods to obtain some martial arts secrets and practiced hard in secret.
Hatred is a terrible driving force that will not weaken with the passage of time, but will become stronger and stronger...
Under such motivation, no matter what people do, they will be extremely efficient.
Three years later, Feng'er completed her revenge.
It only took her one night to kill all her enemies and burn down the largest brothel in the capital; she also skinned the madam and hung her body on the archway of the flower street.
After that night, Feng'er disappeared.
It was not until more than ten years later that a sect called the "White Plum Sect" appeared in the world. Their leader was an extremely fat woman who called herself "Feng Meiyu".
Her obesity was not because she was too lazy to eat...it was just because she relied on her own understanding and practiced a variety of very different internal skills without the most basic knowledge and rules, which ultimately led to abnormalities in her meridians and breath.
, after some years, these abnormalities gradually appeared in her body.
Obesity is just the most intuitive manifestation, and there are many other problems on her body that make her suffer. However, in the past ten years, even though she has visited famous doctors all over the world and consulted many martial arts masters, nothing has happened.
People can cure her of this extreme "obsession".
Finally, the physical pain caused her mental problems... She gave up treatment and turned the pain into a new motivation, turned killing into a way to release stress, and turned the desire for power into her own analgesic...
…In this way, the White Plum Sect was born.
"Beggars Clan...Hailongmen...White Plum Sect..." After the three people and the rest of the gang stood still, the middle-aged man slowly spoke, "Look at this posture...are you all joining forces?"
He guessed correctly. Due to various events that occurred last night, the balance of strength between the various sects had changed. After negotiation, these three sects decided to join forces to ensure today's victory.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Gu Jiaolong is 32 years old this year, which is the age when he is in full swing. He usually speaks out on the territory of his gang and has long developed a habit, so his words and conversations can no longer be said to be "confrontational".
Instead, he said, "Hand over the 'Sword Dance Notes' and I will spare your life!"
"Oh?" When the middle-aged man heard this, his tone was still calm, "How did you know... that the 'Sword Dance Notes' is on me?"
Before Gu Jiaolong could answer, Luo Can continued: "'The murderer who killed sixty-three members of the Jiang family will appear in Linlu Town on New Year's Eve with a sword dance note; he is about fifty years old.
, covering his face with a bamboo hat, holding a weapon wrapped in rags'..." He repeated this piece of information that had already spread throughout the world, word for word, and then said, "At the moment, apart from time,
It's not 'night' yet, and you completely fit the description of this message." He paused and moved his gaze to Sasaki Ming, "Besides... we all saw the skill of your subordinate just now.
Here we go...that must be the move in Sword Dance Notes, right?"
Their speculation was quite reasonable. Sasaki Ming's "skill" was regarded as miraculous by orthodox martial arts practitioners, and this could be explained by "what he learned from the sword dance script".
"Well... what you said makes sense, but there is one thing, I don't know if you have thought about it..." The middle-aged man still responded calmly, "The 'news' you said seems a bit too much.
That’s accurate... isn’t it?”
When he said these words, the two players behind him didn't react at all, because they had already learned the whole story from the middle-aged man's mouth; however, at this moment, the two players who were hiding in the dark also heard the words.
I am not afraid of the lingering sword shadow, but my expression has changed.
"So what?" Feng Meiyu stood there, like a big meat ball, and it was a bit difficult to even speak, "Now that things have happened, what's the point of you saying this...? Do you still want to deny that things are there?
On your body?"
"I don't want to deny anything..." the middle-aged man replied, "On the contrary, I want to admit something..."
"Don't you just want to say... that the news was released by you?" Suddenly, another person's voice joined the conversation.
Everyone followed the sound and quickly found a person on the roof of a house on the street.
"Feng Bujue!"
The moment Brother Jue appeared, these three words rushed through the hearts of other players like a bunch of people passing by.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man's attention was also attracted by Brother Jue. He raised his head, gently pushed up the edge of the hat with his fingers, and glanced at Brother Jue, "You are..."
"Be careful..." Oda Ai's whisper immediately reached the middle-aged man's ears, "This kid is difficult to deal with..."
"Hey! Who are you?" Two seconds later, Gu Jiaolong shouted to Brother Jue in a loud voice, "Do you have a role to speak here?"
"Ha..." Feng Bujue chuckled lightly and responded, "Young Master Gu, please calm down. I just came to talk about a few things that may be of interest to you. I have no intention of hindering the leaders."
"We don't have time to listen to your stories." Luo Can said, "I advise you to hurry up..."
"Wait a minute." Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man said, "I would like to hear... what he can say."
As soon as he said these words, the three heads were stunned for a moment, and their eyes also changed slightly when they looked at Brother Jue.
Of course, at this time, they still didn't take this young and unfamiliar face seriously. They were just wondering what the middle-aged man was planning.
"Haha... Actually I don't have much to say, I can finish it in just an hour and a half." Seeing that no one interrupted him, Feng Bujue continued, "To put it simply... today's round is yours.
It was planned by one hand." He looked at the middle-aged man and smiled, "As expected, you should be the Japanese Ronin who didn't know the true value of the sword manual and took it to a pawn shop to pawn it at a low price.
.”
When the words fell, except for the middle-aged man, Oda Ai and Sasaki Ming, everyone present changed their expressions.
Feng Bujue didn't take it seriously and said: "In fact, you know the value of Sword Dance Notes very well... That's why you used it as 'bait' to set up this trap..."
He paused for a second and then said, "First, you deliberately let Jiang San get the Sword Dance Notes, and then you caused the massacre of Jiangjiabao and took back the sword notes; you know that Duan Keyi will definitely come to give it to you.
The apprentice seeks revenge and gets to the bottom of the matter... Therefore, you just make use of the reputation of the Diancang Sect to spread the news about the appearance of Jian Wu Cao Ji.
“When people hear relevant news, they will take it for granted that... this is ‘diangcang faction found out’, as if everything is logical.
"But as soon as I heard about this, I felt that something was fishy...
"Not to mention how Master Duan and his disciples came to the conclusion that 'the murderer killed everyone in order to steal a sword manual' from a murder scene with no living people at all... Even if they were sure
He found out that the motive of the murderer was 'to take away something important' and used this as a clue to pursue... The possibility of finding the so-called 'Japanese Ronin' and 'pawn shop' is really slim.
.
"And the news that 'The Sword Dance Notes will appear on New Year's Eve' spread out afterwards made me completely sure... that the perpetrator himself was the one who spread the news.
"As you said... the description in the message was too specific and precise. Not only the time and place, but also your dress was accurately described."
Speaking of this, Brother Jue couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha... The most ridiculous thing is that since this news has spread throughout the world and attracted so many sects and people, then 'that person' in the news
In all likelihood, he already knows about this... Under this premise, how could he show up at the time and place mentioned in the message? Knowing that the entire martial arts world is ambushing him, do you still want to die? "
His question was obviously thrown to the leaders and other martial arts people lurking around.
"So, there is only one truth." Feng Bujue raised his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man, "The person with the sword dance script... the person who released the news... the person who created what he is today through many calculations.
A person in a normal situation...doesn't think he is going to die."
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the three heads: "You are the ones who will die..."
