What spread under the moonlight were flames, sword light, and blood.
In the early morning of February 11, the sound of fighting continued in the mountains called Sipinggang. By this time, the shouts of killing in the mountains that were filled with a faint smell of blood had gradually decreased. This was because the focus of the battle had moved towards
It extends to the southwest, and there is no large-scale military confrontation at the moment. When the fighting party breaks up and flees, what is left is a messy mess.
At the beginning of the war, the dominant side was encircled, and it was not easy for the encircled side to break out. As a result, the two sides were in a stalemate here for a period of time, and then quickly turned to the southwest. At this time, in this area, except for
Searching officers and soldiers, patrols, corpses, prisoners, and occasionally the wounded who had not escaped in the nearby forest would suddenly attack and injure others. They were immediately surrounded by several soldiers, and either captured or killed. However, due to the remaining
The government forces here are not large and cannot form an overwhelming search net, so the search in the nearby forests is somewhat conservative.
Most of the soldiers, police officers, and government officials who came this time pursued towards the southwest.
The chief arrester named Zong Feixiao came out of the night carrying two steel whips and maces. He was tall and strong, a head taller than the people next to him. Although he was wearing the clothes of an official from the Criminal Department,
Due to his martial arts training, he actually has no hair on his head. Among the two chief arrestees of the Punishment Department this time, Tie Tianying is smart and capable, while Zong Feixiao looks more ferocious and terrifying, but his eyes are deep and yet not lost.
He was sharp and sinister, and the steel whip mace was stained with blood and minced meat, making him look even more oppressive.
"Search the surroundings and carry the injured brothers down! The bodies of the dead must be found! If there are any lone bandits, I will dig them out without leaving any trace!"
The voice of this burly man spread in the night. As groups of torches swayed, another subordinate led him to see the corpses and prisoners gathered there. Although this time the government launched an siege, but the siege
The two sides were all green forest masters, and after a great battle, the government side had more casualties, but considering that this was the last elite group that Fang Baihua could gather, such a sacrifice was reasonable.
"...The monument thrower has at least twenty years of skill...this is the Eagle Claw...hum. The Nanba Sword, the Shentian Sword Du Sha...or Du Sha...well, this is the Yuan Ming Sword..." He walked up to
In the grassland where the corpses were placed, Zong Feixiao looked at the corpses one by one, and then asked the person next to him, "Among the people who need attention, how many have been arrested and how many have died?"
Listening to his inquiry, the head catcher who was following him looked over: "The people who were arrested are Yu Fangshi, Chen Tian, Zheng Yishan, Luo Liu'er... and now there are some who are found dead..."
The person following him was an elite member of the Ministry of Justice. After calling out his names one by one, Zong Feixiao nodded. Not far away, there was a burst of shouts of killing, and then the weapons exchanged, and some lone people were caught.
Zong Feixiao took a look and heard the person next to him say: "Some of the group of sword tyrants have been dispersed. The female sword bandit was driven to the east, and people have been arranged to chase her.
Chief, the rest of us, do you want to go to the southwest for reinforcements?"
"You may not be able to catch up..." Zong Feixiao whispered, but before he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly came from the east, dragging something in their hands and wrapped it in cloth. Zong Feixiao narrowed his eyes.
Eyes, when the thing was brought over, it turned out to be a giant iron blade, which made him become serious for a moment: "This is..."
Wrapped in cloth, it was the giant sword that Liu Xigua was accustomed to use.
"Reporting to the Chief Constable, we chased her and lost track of the woman shortly after, and then found the knife in a nearby stream."
"No wonder." The expectation rising in his heart was relieved. He shook his head and whispered, "I told you that you couldn't catch up, and now you can't catch up." There was no hint of frustration in his words.
When the Ministry of Punishment designed a siege to kill Liu Dabiao, both Zong Feixiao and Tie Tianying were involved. This time Liu Dabiao's daughter appeared, apparently wanting to avenge them both. However, due to the original investigation to kill Liu Dabiao, the girl
, they also have some concepts.
Being able to wield such a giant blade in battle is quite advantageous in battle, but if the opponent is too strong, it will not give you an advantage in a single fight. In order to control this weapon, you need to train not only your strength, but also your light skills.
In such a battle, it was indeed a bit unexpected for Zong Feixiao to suddenly throw away this weapon that had almost become the opponent's trademark, but because of this, he could understand that the girl was determined to get rid of the burden, not to mention the several criminals around her.
Experts, even I and Tie Tianying may not be sure that they can catch each other tonight.
Since you can't catch up, there's no need to force it. He waved his hand, and the people around him asked again: "The chief arrester, where is the bandit leader..."
Zong Feixiao looked to the southwest and was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "It's enough to chase so many people out. Now Fang Baihua's men are leading them and they all have good kung fu skills. If we chase after them now, we can't find anyone."
."
He said this, and for a moment, he laughed strangely: "It's just that everyone pushed down the wall. Fang La's people are doing evil in the south of the Yangtze River and have made countless enemies. It's hard to say whether they can really escape."
The night was vast, and there was no movement in the direction where Fang Baihua and others were escaping. Only the moonlight shone on the mountains, like rising mist. Zong Feixiao's words were full of strange flavor...
****************
In the moonlight, something was crawling in the forest, moving silently and slowly.
Two figures in government uniforms came from the front, tapping the grass with the swords in their hands. They moved forward to search and spoke in a low voice. Suddenly, the figures in the darkness jumped across the bright moon!
With a pop, the figure collided with the two government officials quickly and silently. One of the government officials suddenly flew backwards and hit the tree without making any sound. The other government official turned around halfway,
He swung the knife to chop, his arm was cut, and then his body was pushed gently, followed by the head turning in the opposite direction!
In the night, all these were just black and white silhouettes. When the slender figure rushed out like the wind, one of the government officials was knocked away and stuck to the tree. Because of all that, the other government official next to him pushed him and was just
There was a shock like an electric shock, and then the head and body rotated uncoordinatedly. Beside him, the figure of the attacker also used this force. In the moonlight, the hem of his skirt unfolded, rotated and closed again.
Beside the attacker, the officer whose head was turned around fell silently. On the tree trunk over there, the man who was initially knocked away also fell silently like soft mud. Then, the attacker's slender figure continued to lean down.
Go down and dissolve into darkness.
Not long after the time passed, on the edge of another patch of grass, a girl named Xigua walked out of the grass silently. She walked forward for a while under the darkness, and there was movement in front of her.
On her hands, two daggers were silently drawn out and placed against her side. But the next moment, she did not draw out the knives. Instead, she continued to move forward silently and quickly. What appeared over there was the "Yuanming Sword"
Fang Shuchang was followed by "Yuanyang Sword" Ji Qian'er, "Feather Sword" Qian Luoning and three other masters from the Ba Sword Camp who came with them.
"How's it going? How many people have arrived?"
"Not much. I went back to the front... This time the government's killing was too sudden. The only ones who could kill us were us. Brother Du and the others were being chased and couldn't escape..."
"There are traitors in the middle, so the government can be so accurate... But let's ignore them for now, is there any chance?"
"...I'm afraid it will be difficult."
While several people were speaking, they all lowered their voices. After walking through a shelter in front of them, Liu Xigua looked towards a dense spot of light on the side. On that side, Fang Qifu and Yiqian Yongle were still being escorted.
Prisoner's camp.
Everyone had been mentally prepared for their team to be bitten, and had thought of several plans. When Tie Tianying, Zong Feixiao and others came out to rescue Fang Qifu, he was one of them.
A relatively reliable idea. But if you want to have such an opportunity, you still have to expect the other party to have real flaws.
The government did a good job in the raid this night. It is estimated that there is a traitor among the people led by Fang Baihua. During the melee, Du Sha, Zheng Qiming and others probably did not find a chance. Together with Fang Baihua and the others,
was chased to the southwest. Fang Shuchang and others finally implemented the original plan on the spur of the moment, but after seeing the formation of the camp, the girl still frowned.
If they want to surround their side at once, Tie Tianying and Zong Feixiao theoretically need to use a lot of people. I'm afraid even all the elites may not be enough. But at this time, it seems that they did not send out the number of people they expected, or perhaps
Manpower has been transferred from surrounding prefectures and counties. The current camp does not seem to have many flaws or possibility of invasion. On the contrary, during this attack, they also strengthened the guards.
After watching like this for a while, someone came up from below. It was Zheng Huihui, the "Golden Back Sword" who had gone to the front to observe. He nodded to Xigua, then frowned and shook his head: "Maybe there is no chance, Tie Tianying is still there.
Sit there..."
Liu Xigua was silent for a long time, frowning and thinking for a while, then took a deep breath and shook his fingers in the air twice, and then twice again.
"Then let's go."
She said this, turned around, with complicated expressions in her eyes. But everyone also knew that taking risks at this time would be of no use, so they exchanged glances with each other and nodded.
Soon after, they finally disappeared into the darkness here.
The night was still dark, and a group of people silently walked around the mountains ahead, chasing Fang Baihua and others in the direction they fled. After chasing for almost half an hour, someone started to speak.
"They transferred people." This is the simple conclusion.
"This area is originally government territory."
"Fortunately, although there are many people in the government, the experts are still not as good as us."
"You can escape, but after this time, I probably won't have a chance..."
"Auntie and the others are afraid they want to chase them to the capital." Xigua said in a low voice and gloomily.
"So what! I'm just throwing myself into a trap..."
"I'm afraid I can't persuade you."
A group of martial arts masters cannot change the situation much in the battle formation, but even if there are many people gathered by the government, it is extremely difficult to kill a group of green forest masters. Everyone has this consensus in their hearts, although this time
They were caught off guard, and many people died or were captured. The remaining people still had a chance to escape or reflect. It was clear that they were walking into a trap step by step, and things could not continue like this.
At this moment, they had not thought about the possibility that the whole thing would be destroyed right now. But this knowledge was tested more than half an hour later.
It started at the moment when they were suddenly attacked near the forest where they were going to meet Fang Baihua and others.
Xigua, Fang Shuchang and others pursued all the way at an extremely fast speed. After more than half an hour, they caught up with the few people who had just left the fleeing team. Then they were attacked.
The first ones to meet the enemy were Ji Qian'er and Qian Luoning. The enemy who came out of the darkness was extremely skilled in martial arts. He brandished two slender scimitars and slashed at the two of them quickly before they were blocked. There were seven or eight more people at the same time.
When he was attacked, his martial arts skills were impressive. Xigua rushed forward to meet the enemy, and at the same time he thought "failure" in his heart.
When Ning Yi's letter came over before, he asked Chen Fan to clarify the driving force behind Fang Qifu's time. Headed by Wang Fu, several powerful families were involved. If they wanted to drive him out, they would use
At the same time as the government's power, these people may have sent out the green forest experts who were supported by their families. At this time, they were fighting, and they could hear fighting coming from the woods ahead. Xigua's first reaction was this.
She swiped a few swords to force the person in front of her back, and shouted: "Fight in!" The others also tried to get rid of their opponents, but it was not necessarily smooth. Fang Shuchang was fighting with a middle-aged man holding a sword, seemingly between equals.
. Just as he was about to force the opponent back, the opponent seemed to know his move and pierced his weak spot with a sword!
Fang Shuchang changed his moves and flew back in an instant, but a wound still appeared on his leg. He was surprised in his heart. The person opposite was obviously very familiar with the Ba Dao sword technique. But now was not the time to think about it carefully. Someone was listening over there.
He shouted in a low voice: "It's from Ba Daozhuang!" Then he heard the wind blowing, and a sparse hidden weapon and arrows were shot in this direction.
Everyone dodged hidden weapons and stray arrows, and took advantage of the cover of trees to rush forward. Along the way, their own people and enemies were mixed together. Occasionally, sporadic battles could be seen, and a large group of enemies had already surrounded them.
In such a forest, if ordinary people came, Xigua could kill hundreds of people alone. But if all the experts came, the whole situation would become murderous. It is not clear who the other party is now.
How did they gather so many masters? According to previous understandings, even if some big families were extremely wealthy and could invite top masters to be their guests, they would never be able to reach this scale.
As we walked forward, the fire gradually brightened. Over there was an abandoned "sacred altar" of Manichaeism many years ago. It was actually several broken temples. Fang Baihua and others were obviously there at this time, running.
, suddenly I saw a figure flashing in front of me, two figures collided in the dark forest, one of them spread his shawl and shouted loudly, the two of them exchanged a few moves with an astonishing power, the two who were hiding next to them were hit.
The impact caused them to be knocked away. One of the people fighting seemed to be Chen Fan.
As a direct disciple of Fang Qifu, Chen Fan is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also extremely powerful. He has been fighting in battles for a long time. When he really wants to kill someone, his methods are fierce and violent. But at this time, he used all his strength to attack, and the big man with the radiant energy on the opposite side was actually violent.
I fought with him while drinking.
After a few exchanges, Chen Fan suddenly pulled away. The big man rushed over, passed through several trees and lost sight of Chen Fan. He punched a tree trunk so hard that sawdust flew, while Xigua and the others sneaked over.
I met Chen Fan face to face.
"Something happened." Chen Fan saw them in the darkness, licked the blood on his fists, and whispered, "Suddenly a group of masters came, I don't know who they are... That guy is really strong..."
"Auntie and the others are in front?"
"Right over there, some people were hiding in the woods here and were washed away. I came here to pick up some bargains and gather people together. It's too late to think of a way..."
"Know."
Xigua nodded. Now everyone is still being hunted. If they are restrained by these experts and surrounded by officers and soldiers, they will be dead. Just as he was about to go forward, Fang Shuchang came over with a surprised look on his face: "Wait a minute.
Wait, 'Crazy Tiger' Wang Nanda..."
"What?" Chen Fan asked.
Xigua wanted to ask, but then she remembered that she had heard this name before.
"The person you and Chen Fan fought just now was like the 'Crazy Tiger' Wang Nanda. At that time, I was studying with my master and had not traveled much in the world. I had only seen him a few times. It has been more than ten years..."
"So what?" Chen Fan didn't understand.
At this time, Fang Baihua's voice suddenly came from the direction of the dilapidated temple over there: "Who are you!?"
In the battles these days, Fang Baihua has been injured and very tired. But after all, she is a heroic girl who once led a large army to fight. Under such circumstances, there is usually a heroic spirit in her words, but this
After a moment of questioning, Ying Wu obviously had a trace of speculation and suspicion, which was slightly similar to Fang Shuchang's suspicion just now.
As everyone rushed over there, they heard a loud bang, and the loud noise was mixed with the sound of broken bones, and through the faint light. Among the several ruined temples over there, an earthen wall collapsed.
There were also several human bodies that were obviously smashed into them.
"Sister Baihua, long time no see."
In the dust all over the sky, someone walked out from there. His figure was broad and his silhouette gradually became visible. His robe sleeves were fluttering like Maitreya, waving smoke and dust. If you were close, you could see clearly. Just now, the tall fat man was looking towards this person.
Two masters under Fang Baihua tried to stop him. He just took one step forward, and the two masters seemed to be stuck on his shoulders, and they hit the wall that seemed to be very strong.
The bones in his body were all broken, but the fat man directly crashed through the entire wall. He stepped over, his tone was mellow and calm. With just one hand, he was already close to the master level. Fang La back then might be able to do it, and Fang Qifu might be able to do it.
It's possible, but Fang Baihua can't, and Chen Fan and Liu Xigua can't either.
In the open space next to the dilapidated temples, Fang Baihua had already recognized him, holding a red gun and standing up straight. She was in her thirties, and he was in his forties, so they knew him.
But here, Fang Shuchang looked at the man carefully, and after a moment he sighed: "Lin Echan...'Demon Buddha' Lin Echan..."
Chen Fan spread his hands: "Who is he?"
Xigua rolled his eyes and then glanced at him. Fang Shuchang next to him also looked at him: "Shuai Fo didn't tell you..." This was a statement but not a question. Obviously Fang Shuchang could understand the reason to some extent.
"Demon Buddha" Lin Echan and "Crazy Tiger" Wang Nanda, these two names may have had great reputations more than ten years ago, but at this moment, what is really important is not just them, but
From these two names comes the name of another person.
Xigua opened her lips lightly. She didn't know why, but at this moment, there was only unusual calm in her eyes.
The wind blows through the forest.
…
…
"Sikong Nan..."
…
…
"Ah..." Chen Fan sighed.
The wind blew through the forest, the fire swayed, and there was a beeping and white light.
Fang Baihua, half-body covered in blood, pressed the tip of the red gun and pointed it diagonally forward.
Some things can be figured out when a certain symbol appears. There is no need to ask why this is the case. At least at this moment, no one wants to ask.
There was a sound in the night.
…
…
"... Talented people emerge from generation to generation, and new generations always bury the old ones... I once said this on the day I left..."
Those old words seemed to echo everywhere in the woods, and the light was pale and shone on many people's faces.
It is difficult for a wealthy family to recruit many top-notch masters. Only a well-established martial arts family and powerful martial arts family can do this.
Manichaeism…
…
…
"...You want to do great things, and you have indeed achieved great things. If you can really accomplish them, you will never see me again in your life... But Baihua, there is no way ahead for you..."
There was once such a person who was driven out of her position. At the beginning, they were always wary of her comeback. Because even if she failed, her influence was still there in the beginning.
However, as time passed, the man became disheartened and disappeared. One year passed, three years passed, and five years passed. The divided Manichaeism finally reunited. They began to do the big things they wanted to do, and gradually forgot about it.
Got her.
Until...the real defeat appears...
"...I'm back."
Following the sound, Lin Erchan walked towards Fang Baihua, stretched out his hand and pressed it!
…
…
The red gun points out! In the light and wind, a figure suddenly jumps out of the woods and punches the Maitreya-like man. The sound of breaking wind is heard. This is Chen Fan punching out with all his strength. The punch of the wind
In the middle, the fat man's broad monk's robes roared toward the back. On the other side, there was a girl rushing out of the woods. She had thrown away her giant blade, and was wielding a single sword in her hands, but it seemed that she was wielding a sword stronger than before.
The giant blade is even heavier than the sharp weapon, and the look in his eyes is fierce and determined! That is the Tyrant Sword!
Du Sha, Luo Bingren, Zheng Qiming, Fang Shuchang, Wang Nanda, nicknamed Crazy Tiger, and many other masters seemed to rush in madly at the moment the string broke.
At this moment, there is no room for hesitation, no one can stop——
