Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 595: The arrogant Tiantong Sect leader and the arrogant Tang Sect Laughing King
"Little Heavenly Master is smart. We did have this idea, but the Japanese pirates did not take the bait. They didn't even send anyone to deal with the Liuxian and Huxian."

Tang Jiaren said in a deep voice. Although he was older than Zhang Zhiwei, they were interacting as equals.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "I am also a little puzzled. Speaking of which, I have the same idea as you, sir. I have two teams that have been attacking the pirates' strongholds."

"I have always kept a certain distance from them. If there is any situation, I can provide timely support and kill the Japanese pirates by surprise. However, after wandering for a long time, I still did not find any intention of the Japanese pirates to attack them."

Tang Jiaren said: "Luring the snake out of its hole is indeed a good strategy, but... How many people are you traveling with, Little Master?!"

Zhang Zhiwei wanted to say that he was the only one, but he thought of the "national teacher" who was eager to try in the hall space and ready to fight at any time. He couldn't treat it as a human being, so he changed his words:
"Two, right? I'm here now, and another one is on standby, ready to provide support at any time."

"There are only two of us... Little Master Tianshi is so brave!"

Tang Jiaren said in surprise.

Because Liu Kunsheng and Hu Tianbiao brought a lot of immortals from the hall, he naturally thought that Zhang Zhiwei also brought a lot of people, but he didn't expect that there were only two people...

Two people were going to ambush the main force of the Japanese pirates. This was really... Out of recognition of Zhang Zhiwei's strength, Tang Jiaren would not describe it as ridiculous.

But it still feels incredible. These assassins wanted to kill the ninja leader, and they sent out ten people. Two of them simply didn't take each other seriously.

If it were any other senior, they might have reminded him that the Japanese pirates were as fierce as wolves and tigers and should not be underestimated, but he would not do that.

He is an assassin, and the most important thing for an assassin is to complete the mission. Zhang Zhiwei's character is exactly what he needs.

He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Luring a snake out of its hole has always been a good strategy since ancient times, but to lure a snake out of its hole, you also need to have chips that the snake will be tempted by!"

"The master means that the immortals are not important enough. Killing so many people is not important enough. Then who is important enough..." Zhang Zhiwei paused and reacted, "The master is talking about me?"

"That's right!" Tang Jiaren nodded: "Little Master, have you noticed if anyone is following you?"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head, "I didn't notice anything unusual."

Because he had to attack the Japanese pirates' stronghold while also taking care of Mr. Huang Liu and Liu Kunsheng, he moved very quickly, coming and going like the wind, and rarely stayed in one place.

"You didn't realize..."

Tang Jiaren was puzzled, wondering if his previous judgment was wrong, but then he remembered the situation when Zhang Zhiwei appeared just now.

Such a high-speed way of traveling, let alone the main force of the Japanese pirates, even their flexible team of ten people would not be able to keep up.

If this place is compared to a chessboard filled with fog, then Zhang Zhiwei is the "rook" on the board, running rampant and unscrupulous, and the Japanese pirates' "pawns" find it difficult to keep up.

"You must be too fast," he said.

"Maybe I was too fast!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "Actually, I am keeping this speed on purpose. I am trying to lure the snake out of its hole, and then I will catch the mantis while the oriole is behind."

"After all, no one knows the leader of a secret assassination organization like Bihe Mountain, and what methods they are hiding. If we confront them head-on, we might get caught if we are not careful. So it is necessary to make a detour. Master, you understand what I mean, right?"

He has always been using Mr. Huang and Liu Kunsheng as bait to lure the Japanese pirates.

Bait does not mean abandoned pawns. In order to prevent them from getting into trouble, he also arranged for the "national master" to provide support at any time, and even form a double-team.

"I understand. I understand it very well." Tang Jiaren nodded. No one knew assassination better than him.

Immediately, he asked Zhang Zhiwei: "However, your strategy is not working now. The Japanese pirates seem to have bitten you to death. What are you going to do next? Fight them to the end, or withdraw while you are ahead and quietly move away, leaving them empty-handed?"

At this time, Xu Xin, who was more eccentric, whispered to Dong Chang from behind:

"The Japanese pirates are unwilling to divide their forces and want to concentrate their main forces to attack one place. It is obvious that they have some killer tricks hidden. The wise thing to do is to avoid their attack first. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. After a while, when they relax their vigilance, we can strike back and destroy them again, leaving them exhausted."

"Shut up! The master is talking, what are you mumbling about?" Dong Chang said unhappily.

At this time, Tang Jiaren looked over.

Xu Xin shrank his neck and dared not say much. Even though the master smiled all day long, their people were afraid of him.

Tang Jiaren looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said softly with a smile:
"Little Heavenly Master, I think what this guy said makes sense. You are the future Heavenly Master, and you are worth a fortune. Why don't you avoid his edge first? Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain to Longhu Mountain!"

"Should I avoid his attack first?"

Zhang Zhiwei also looked at Tang Jiaren with a smile. From Tang Jiaren's expression and words, Zhang Zhiwei had a feeling of the first confrontation with the "national teacher" in an inner scene. On the surface, this was a kind of persuasion, and perhaps a bit of provocation.

However, when combined with the amplification of the Tang Sect's Guanzizai mind method, it formed a delusion that interfered with thinking. This method was extremely covert and could influence the other party's thinking without anyone noticing, thereby achieving the desired result.

In the plot, Ma Long, a new generation member of the Tang Clan, is very good at this, but he is only good at this. The eldest master is different. He is the master of all the Tang Clan's methods.

When he was assassinating the ninja leader in the Tang Sect chapter, he first showed weakness to the enemy, and then influenced the thinking of the ninjas through the internal cultivation method of Guanzizai Xinfa, which observes external objects.

He made a shinobi leader who used to be decisive and ruthless lose his way as an assassin, and turned him into a fool who underestimated his opponents, liked to mock his opponents, and told his opponents his inner journey and talked nonsense, thus wiping out half of the high-level officials of Higashiyama in one blow.

Although the young Taoist priest in front of him was indeed extraordinary, Tang Jiaren valued his talent.

But for Tang Jiaren, the success of the mission is more important than his own life. Compared with this, his appreciation for talent is insignificant.

Now the main force of the Japanese pirates is besieging and killing Zhang Zhiwei. It is obvious that Zhang Zhiwei is the key point for him to break the deadlock and kill the ninja leader.

If Zhang Zhiwei retreated, the current situation would be messed up again because of Zhang Zhiwei, and it would be difficult for him to find another opportunity to kill the ninja leader.

Therefore, he did not want Zhang Zhiwei to retreat, so he used some extremely subtle means to influence him.

However, Zhang Zhiwei's mind was sitting high on the spiritual platform, overlooking the whole body like a saint king, and he could clearly feel this. However, he was not angry, because he had no intention of leaving. Zhang Zhiwei looked at Tang Jiaren and said lightly: "Master, you are joking. If I leave, then those little white fairies in my hall who work hard every day to save the dying and the wounded will have died in vain. I have to stay and avenge them."

Tang Jiaren was not sure whether this was Zhang Zhiwei's original idea or the result of his influence, but since Zhang Zhiwei was not leaving, none of this mattered.

He smiled and said, "Since Little Heavenly Master has made up his mind, I won't say much. However, it is not advisable to be a lone hero. We can cooperate."

"Okay," Zhang Zhiwei asked, "How do we cooperate?"

Tang Jiaren grinned and said, "You lead the pirates out and give me an opportunity. I will kill them all within ten steps."

His words could only be described as arrogant, but no one objected because he was the head master of the Tang Clan and was recognized as the Laughing King of Hell in the martial arts world.

In fact, his Dan Shi could reach a little further, but that couldn't guarantee a fatal kill.

Ten steps is his sure-kill range. He can spread his Dan Shi all over this range like raindrops, leaving no blind spots, forming a deadly zone.

Beyond this range, his control over Dan Shi will be greatly reduced. If the opponent has sharp spiritual perception, he will have a chance to escape.

Ten steps... Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the distance between himself and the master, and it was exactly ten steps away. However, he was not afraid. He smiled and said:
“It sounds like a simple thing!”

Arrogant enough, Tang Jiaren laughed loudly for the first time in a long time and said, "Killing people is actually a very simple thing, but the difficult part is the preparation before taking action. But that depends on you, little Taoist priest!!"

"Then leave it to me. I'll accept your commission!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

Since the Japanese pirates refused to take the bait after using Liu Kunsheng and Huang Ye, he would take action himself. He was not sure about the ninja leader's methods before, but now that the Tang Sect is keeping an eye on the ninja leader, he thought he could give it a try.

As soon as Zhang Zhiwei's words came out, Tang Jiaren, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly became serious. Without saying a word, he clasped his hands and bowed to Zhang Zhiwei.

As soon as this move was made, other people from the Tang Sect followed suit and bowed to Zhang Zhiwei.

Li Ding was even more enthusiastic. The little Taoist priest back then had finally reached a level that he could no longer match.

"You're welcome, everyone!"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Just now the master said that the main force of the Japanese pirates wanted to deal with me. In order to inflict greater losses on them, I have an idea."

"Should I continue to lead them in circles and take the opportunity to eliminate more of their manpower? When their losses reach a certain level, I will choose a place and have a decisive battle with them?"

Tang Jiaren said: "While you and your people are consuming their manpower, aren't you also consuming your own strength? Are you sure you want to do this?"

He felt it was not worthwhile to waste his own Qi on some insignificant little characters.

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I still have a lot of Qi, and it recovers quickly. I won't fail at the critical moment."

As he spoke, his mind moved and he checked the large amount of pure power of faith that permeated the air above the hall. The incense and faith from this period had not been distributed yet, so he still had a lot left.

Among them, a considerable number belonged to the little white fairies of Tiantong Medical Hall. Now that they are gone, let's use the wages that should have been paid to avenge them.

"Since the little Taoist priest has this idea, I will naturally not stop him. However, fishing requires baiting and nesting. If the little Taoist priest continues to fly high and high, making it impossible for the Japanese pirates to track him down, I am afraid they will become desperate and suddenly change their behavior!" said Tang Jiaren.

"What the master said makes sense. In that case, I will spread bait for them so that they can take the bait more easily. However, you don't need to follow me too closely, in case you run into the Japanese pirates."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei took out two pieces of Yin-Yang paper and handed them to Tang Jiaren: "Master, this is Wang's Yin-Yang paper. Use water to write on it, and you will receive the message on the other side. When the time comes, you will act according to my information. I will find a Feng Shui treasure land in advance as the burial place for the Japanese pirates, and you only need to ambush in advance."

Wang Ai gave him a stack of these things at the beginning, and he still has a lot of them in his wallet now.

"I've heard about the Wang family's rare treasures!" Tang Jiaren took the Yin-Yang paper handed over by Zhang Zhiwei and said with his hands folded: "Then I will wait for the good news from the little Taoist priest!"

"Little...little Taoist priest, you must come back alive!" Li Ding originally wanted to call him little Taoist priest, but for some reason, when the words came to his lips, he still called him little Taoist priest.

Zhang Zhiwei turned his head to look at the bald man who was speaking. Although he looked a little older, his overall appearance had not changed much. Naturally, he would recognize him. He immediately folded his hands and replied:

"Brother Li, don't worry. These little devils can't do anything to me!"

"I know your abilities best, so be careful." Li Ding said excitedly.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and leaped up. This time, he did not use the triple Qi transformation of reverse life to transform himself. Instead, he moved physically in the forest like a rabbit. Even so, his speed was quite fast. However, the Japanese pirates had time to react.

On the cliff, watching Zhang Zhiwei's receding back, Xu Xin said with admiration: "People in the martial arts world say that the young master is very righteous. It seems that it is true. I really want to make friends with him!"

"Who says he isn't? He is the best among the younger generation. I admire him. When I was at the Gao family before, I heard from their people that the young master can drink a lot. He even got a lot of people drunk under the Changbai Mountain. I really want to have a drink with him!" Dong Chang also sighed.

Yang Lie on the side glanced at them and said coldly: "It is true that the little Taoist priest is a hero, but you two guys should not forget that you are Tang Sect disciples and assassins. Don't always think about making friends with this person or that person!"

The eldest master nodded secretly. Although Yang Lie was an outer sect disciple, he was unrivaled in both his methods and character in this generation of the Tang Sect.

Xu Xin and Dong Chang are also outer disciples. Although they have a bit eccentric personalities, their methods are also first-class. It is normal for young people to be a little hot-tempered. They just need to temper themselves in the future.

On the contrary, Tang Xing's direct descendants, Tang Miaoxing, Tang Qiushan and others from the inner sect are a bit inferior. Their character and methods are much worse.

If we still do things the same as before, with the inner gate still being the main focus, I'm afraid there will be a split between the inner and outer gates in the future. Now that this matter is over, I'll go back and perhaps discuss it with my junior brothers. Some of the old rules need to be changed.

The Tianshi Temple even has disciples who use false surnames. If the Tianshi Temple was just like the Tang Sect, sticking to those old-fashioned rules, how could it have a genius like Zhang Zhiwei?
The appearance of Zhang Zhiwei made Tang Jiaren think a lot, and he decided to make changes to the Tang Clan's pedantic rules of separating the inner and outer sects.

It's not that I want to be an unfilial descendant, but as an inner sect disciple of the Tang family, I really don't live up to expectations... He sighed, put away these thoughts, and said:

"Little Taoist Priest has been staying here for a while. The Japanese pirates will probably come over. Let's retreat!"

As they were talking, a gust of wind blew by, and the ten people on the cliff disappeared together like shadows in a dream.
