Chapter 210 The Head Catcher and the Knife Catcher
"Heaven sends murderous intent, and the stars change their constellations.
"The earth sends murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land.
"When people send out murderous intent, heaven and earth will turn upside down."
After Tang Huayi pondered for a long time, he finally spoke:
"In Yi Xing Yi Su Tian's demon-killing skill, there are three levels of murderous intent.
"It is divided into three realms: heaven, earth and man. The three realms are unified and are called... the path of killing!
"This skill is one of the best martial arts even among the Eighteen Heavenly Demons.
"Just because... when practicing this martial art, no matter the cold or heat, no matter how hard you practice, you only ask one word, and that is - kill!"
“To strengthen the body with killing, to strengthen one’s merits with killing.
"The more you kill, the stronger your skills will be!"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly:
"This reminds me of Dionysus."
Tang Huayi once told him that Qianyun Villa has a magical skill called Dionysian Technique.
The secret of Dionysus is that the more you drink, the faster your internal strength will grow.
Now, this seems to be the case with the Shifting Stars and Yi Sutian Demon Killing Technique.
“The two are indeed very similar.
"It's just that the Dionysian Technique uses drinking to strengthen the body, while the Shifting Star Yi Sutian Killing Demon Technique is practiced by killing people. In this way, there is a distinction between good and evil."
When Tang Huayi said this, he paused slightly:
"Furthermore, there is another aspect of Yisutian's demon-killing skill that the Dionysian Art cannot compare with.
"Three levels of murderous intentions, three levels of killing ways, then there are three levels of Dao slaves.
“Tao slaves are planted with ‘killing seeds’, and the benefits obtained from the people they kill will be fed back to the Tao master.
"Therefore, even if the Taoist Master sits still, his internal strength will grow by leaps and bounds."
"...How many Dao slaves can there be at most?"
"The two slaves of heaven and man cannot count to nine.
"If you want to kill a slave, it depends on how deep the Tao master's inner strength is, but judging from the current situation, everyone in the Can Yang Sect should be a slave to the Tao of killing.
"The reason why they killed the bandits, the Qin family, and Wangshui Villa was very simple.
"Use the power of killing to gain stronger internal strength for their Taoist master."
Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran again: "As for why the man you captured died overnight. Thinking about it, he should have killed the slaves.
"The earth kills slaves without knowing it, and they forget about death.
"It requires a daily injection of skill from a heavenly slave or a human slave to extend its life. Otherwise, the killing species in the body will rob it of all vitality.
"Finally...return to the body of the Taoist Master.
"And those two father and son should be regarded as heavenly slaves.
"The martial arts he performed was the [Star Moving Finger] among the demon-killing skills of Shifting Stars and Yi Sutian.
"It's just logical that he shouldn't die so quickly... in such a situation where life is extinct.
"Could it be that the Taoist Master was also nearby at that time?"
When Jiang Ran heard this, he suddenly felt a little strange:
"Among the three heavens, earth, and humans, it turns out that humans are not the weakest and heaven is the strongest?"
“Man is determined to conquer Heaven, so why should Heaven be stronger than man?”
Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran:
“Among the three killings of heaven, earth and humans, the weakest is the killing of earth.
"The second one is God, and the strongest one is human beings. The essence of it is the saying, 'The murderous intention of a human being is repeated in the world.'"
"Then why is it called the Yisutian Killing Demon Technique?"
After Jiang Ran subconsciously asked this question, he already understood and couldn't help but shake his head:
"Why do people who can create this martial art need to be so clever in such details?"
"Because he killed too many people."
Tang Huayi said: "He may be the person who has killed the most people in the history of the Demon Sect. He is also the person who is most afraid of death throughout the ages..."
"Is this person afraid of death?"
Jiang Ran was stunned.
"Maybe the more people kill, the more fear they get."
Tang Huayi said:
"This person is the third generation founder of our demon sect, the Demon King of Heavenly Slaughter.
"It is said that the older this man gets, the more he fears death. His hands are full of blood and he has too many blood debts. He feels that everyone in the world wants to kill him.
“In the end, I imprisoned myself in a secret place and did not let anyone find me.
"It's just that the magic skill he created remains in the Eighteen Heavens Demon Record."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
Tang Huayi said:
"Last night, did you notice that there were other masters hiding nearby?"
"No."
Jiang Ran said:
"I don't think it's just a small Wangshui Villa, so the Taoist Master won't be able to visit it in person."
"That's true."
Tang Huayi thought slightly:
"The poisonous smoke was used to weaken people's physical strength, and then the massacre started by killing the slaves on the ground.
"If you hadn't appeared unexpectedly, there would have been no one alive in Wangshui Villa from top to bottom.
"There is really no reason for Taoist Master to appear there..."
"No matter what, the Setting Sun Gate appears in the East County Mansion. We will be able to collect some clues during this trip."
Jiang Ran said: "Moreover, there is that letter... Canyang's friend said in the letter that there is a party in Jinyang Mansion, and you can attend with this letter. I plan to go to Liuyuan to have a look when the time comes."
"I will go with you."
Tang Huayi spoke immediately.
Jiang Ran glanced at her:
"You think at that time, will I find my ignorant master?"
"Forehead……"
"And the fiancée whose eyes are full of stars?"
"……sure."
Tang Huayi nodded quickly: "If they are in Jinyang Mansion, you will definitely be able to find them."
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi.
Tang Huayi laughed dryly twice and said nothing more.
Afterwards, everyone moved forward.
Sure enough, before dark, we found a town to stay.
But as soon as we entered the town, we realized something was wrong.
The atmosphere in the whole town is very strange, especially for people like them who have come from afar. The people in the town are very wary.
I went into the inn to look for someone, and then I found out that just last night, a wealthy family in the town was killed by someone who didn't know who.
All the gold, silver, wealth and silk were carried away, and not even an egg was left in the house.
Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi looked at each other.
Just listening to this description, it sounds very much like the style of the Setting Sun Sect.
After everyone was settled in the inn, Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi took advantage of the darkness and rushed towards the wealthy family's house.
They all plan to go there and take a look.
It would be better if we could see the body.
They had all seen the corpses of those bandits in the village, and by comparing the two, they could basically tell whether this incident was the work of the Setting Sun Clan.
The family that was massacred was in the northernmost part of the town.
Maybe it's because he's too rich, so he's "alone from the world and independent."
Although it is in a town, it is not only separated by a forest but also surrounded by a small river.
It can be regarded as completely separating oneself from all living beings.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that when their family was killed, no one in the town noticed that something had happened.
Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi walked through the woods and rivers, and when they looked up again, a solemn manor appeared in front of them.
It's just that Zhuangzi, whose whole family was massacred last night, now naturally gives people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, as if there is a vague smell of blood spreading around him.
The two people came to the door, pushed it casually, and the door was opened.
What surprised them was that the bodies in the yard had not been picked up so far.
They still look like they did before they died.
"This is a bit of an unexpected surprise..."
Jiang Ran took a step forward, then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he looked back at Tang Huayi.
Tang Huayi responded to Jiang Ran's 'confused' look.
Jiang Ran smiled and led her to look at the body nonchalantly.
Most of these corpses are quite miserable, scattered and broken.
Tang Huayi saw this scene and shook his head slightly:
"This probably is……"
"This should be due to their cruelty and ruthlessness."
Jiang Ran didn't wait for her to finish speaking before she interrupted:
"These people are really abominable."
Tang Huayi suddenly looked at Jiang Ran, that was not what she wanted to say.
Jiang Ran obviously interrupted himself intentionally because he didn't want him to say what he originally wanted to say?
At this point in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a voice shouting: "No!"
At the same time as this urgent voice came, there was the sound of breaking wind.
Turning back suddenly, I saw something spinning and flying towards me. When it came to me, it suddenly spread out and became a big net, trying to catch me!
Immediately take a step forward and use a single sword in the palm of your hand.
Storms from all directions will come to Zhongzhou!
The sword flashed, and the net was immediately blown away by his blade.
"Good knife skills!!"
A sound of admiration came from one side.
The next moment, several people were seen flying onto the roof, all holding small crossbows in their hands, aiming at Tang Huayi and Jiang Ran, and clicked the trigger.
Thin ropes tied with small iron rings flew out.
The small iron hoops jingled and collided, making a crisp and moving sound. However, no matter where the rope was wrapped, once the iron hoop was buckled, the hands and feet would be restrained.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran smiled, stretched out his arms, and then closed his hands, one pointing toward the sky and the other toward the ground.
God's will hangs the immortal energy in the immortal magic!
A strong wind blew up, and the ropes that flew towards them immediately flew away and landed on their original owners faster than when they came.
All of a sudden the sounds of 'ouch' and 'ouch' came and went.
Others rolled down onto the roof with a loud grunt, and their heads were badly bruised.
"Good martial arts!!!"
The man who had just praised Tang Huayi's swordsmanship spoke again, but as the man's voice came, the man also arrived.
As soon as Jiang Ran looked up, he felt that this person's style was wrong.
Under the darkness of night, I saw that the person who came was a plump girl with a curvy front and back. Her appearance was not very good-looking, but she was also clean and delicate.
In his hands were two huge mountain-breaking axes.
The man fell down in mid-air, and the mountain-breaking ax in his hand also fell with a bang:
"Eat someone's ax!!"
This person's words are obviously out of tune, and he is clearly a two-axe.
At the same time, another voice followed closely:
"Oh, please slow down and don't hurt anyone. They shouldn't be..."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, and when he took a step back, the pair of axes struck at Jiang Ran's feet. There was a click, and cracks spread in all directions.
The girl held the ax in both hands, and her whole body was suspended in the air. After waiting for it to fall, she exerted her arms and turned her feet: "Again!!"
Jiang Ran's heart moved, and he turned the broken gold knife in his palm, and the knife and sheath were blocked by his side.
Just hear a click.
When the two came into contact, it was like two giant beasts from the wild colliding head-on.
I could only hear the howling wind, sweeping all around.
Tang Huayi staggered slightly and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
Where does such huge power come from in this small body?
Two axes came down in succession, but the person in front of him was not injured at all.
The girl's eyes suddenly flashed:
"A thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!"
"You are a good opponent!
"watch out!!"
At this point, the girl was dancing with her hands, and the two mountain-breaking axes allowed her to wield them airtightly. The shadows of the axes roared like wisps of black wind. Once they unfolded, no one around them could intervene.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and the golden knife in his palm was not unsheathed. In the black wind, he sometimes resisted and sometimes touched gently. His whole body was like a leaf in the wind. No matter how strong the east, west, north, or south winds were, he could not be harmed at all.
.
At the same time, on top of the wall, a young man wearing a police officer's clothes was seen stamping his feet:
"How can this be a good thing? How can this be a good thing? You, stop it quickly!!
"This man is not a murderer!"
It's just that the girl is in full swing, so she doesn't care what he says.
He waved the giant ax in his hand with all his heart, hoping to win the battle.
Jiang Ran had a few moves with her opponent, and he had already seen the girl's path clearly.
Immediately, the movement of the broken gold knife in the palm changed. First, he lightly knocked with the handle of the knife, but it hit the girl's wrist just right. With a whirring sound, a mountain ax flew out with a whistling sound.
The next moment, he reached out and grabbed the flying ax blade.
All the huge force was eliminated between these five fingers.
The girl's face changed greatly, and she stretched out her hand to take it back, but Jiang Ran's hand was like copper poured into iron. No matter how hard she exerted her strength, veins appeared on her forehead, but she did not move at all.
At this point, Jiang Ran slowly pulled out the broken gold knife and placed the blade across the side of her neck:
"You still won't admit defeat?"
"Admit defeat and admit defeat!!"
Before the girl could speak, the young man on the roof had already said one after another:
"We surrender!!"
Jiang Ran didn't look at him, just looked at the girl in front of him.
I saw the girl's expression suddenly darkened, and she sighed softly:
"I have been on the battlefield for thirty years without a single defeat, but I didn't expect that today I would be defeated by a nobody like you.
"How dare you tell me your name, general... Ouch, why did you hit me?"
Before he could finish his words, a young man on the other side hit him hard on the head, which caused tears to flow from his eyes.
"I just told you to watch less drama!"
I saw the young man with a dark face:
"Tian Miaomiao! What did I tell you before you came? Don't act rashly! Don't act rashly!
“You must obey my orders in every word and deed!
"Did you listen? Ah?
"Did I let you do it?
"Did I let you take action?
"You have completely turned a deaf ear to my words!
"If you continue to disobey orders, then go home."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Ran again, smiled bitterly, took out a token from his arms and said:
"Jiang Daxia Rongcun, we are all our own people."
Jiang Ran looked at the sign and was slightly startled:
"An order to catch a knife?"
"Exactly."
The young man nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Ran glanced at Na Tian Miaomiao again, and took back the broken gold knife thoughtfully:
"You recognize me?"
"I don't recognize it, but I recognize the broken gold knife."
The young man did not dare to hide it: "Almost everyone in the world knows that the Broken Golden Knife is in the hands of Daxia Jiang."
"I didn't know that a police officer could also be a knife-catcher."
Jiang Ran smiled and let go of Na Tian Miaomiao's axe.
After Tian Miaomiao was relieved, she also took back her axe. She muttered a few words without knowing what she was saying, then she took her ax and came to the corner and squatted down.
But the young man laughed dryly:
"Master Jiang has misunderstood. This arrest order is not mine, but my sister-in-law's..."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the field of seedlings.
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, and suddenly he had an urge to not want the knife in his arms.
This is probably the feeling of being 'ashamed to be around'.
"Then what's going on with you guys?"
Tang Huayi came to Jiang Ran at this time: "If we disagree, we will fight. If we accidentally hurt a good person, what should we do?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
The young man nodded repeatedly: "This matter is indeed our fault, but please rest assured. Even if we are not masters like you, when we first started, we focused on arresting people. If there is a serious misunderstanding, there will definitely be
They will be released.
"My sister-in-law is just... happy to see how strong your martial arts skills are, and she is very happy to see you.
"That's when I couldn't help but jump out and have a discussion.
"Please forgive me, please forgive me."
"You haven't asked for advice yet?"
Since the other party is a member of the government, he also has an arrest warrant.
Moreover, judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they were also trying to catch the murderer.
When we took action before, it was exactly as they said, either with a net or with a rope.
It's really about arresting people.
Jiang Ran didn't intend to dwell on this matter.
The young man quickly clasped his hands and said:
"In Shimoda Xiwen, I was a head catcher for the Dongjun government office, and I met Daxia Jiang."
"It turns out to be Mr. Tian."
Jiang Ran clasped his fists, but then raised his eyebrows:
"This boundary is not close to the capital of Dongjun. What happened just yesterday and you are here today?"
"It's a coincidence."
Tian Xiwen smiled and said:
"I just happened to catch a murderer with my roommate earlier... When we got here, we encountered this case again.
"The two of us stayed here to see if we could catch the murderer.
"During the day, I deliberately spread the word and claimed that some traces were found in the house. I expected that if it was the murderer, he would have a guilty conscience and would go back to check and destroy the evidence... As a result, I didn't find the murderer, but I did find you two."
This makes sense.
"Our group just arrived here today.
"I heard that a tragedy occurred in the town, so I decided to come over to check on the situation."
When Jiang Ran said this, he glanced at the corpses on the ground and sighed softly:
"This case is difficult to pursue. Looking at this method, it reminds me of something."
Tian Xiwen was stunned and asked quickly:
"What does Master Jiang know?"
"I don't know much."
Jiang Ran said:
"Moreover, these people's methods are extraordinary. Mr. Tian really wants to pursue them?"
"We are officials just to protect the people of our country.
"No matter how powerful the thief is, if it is a matter of life or death for the people, Tian will definitely pursue him!"
Tian Xiwen spoke seriously.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and said softly:
"Master Tian, as the chief arrester of the East County Government Office, you must have heard of... the Setting Sun Gate, right?"
