Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 170 Night Wandering God! (9.170k)
"Ta, Ta, Ta"

The bright red blood drops were reflected blurrily in Zhao Rong's eyes. The green flag of "Fuwei Escort Agency" was half stained with scarlet. The blood was like pearls slanting in the west wind and shattered on the moxa bluestone standing upright in the stone altar.

With a "hey", the escort agency's porter poured out most of the water in the wooden bucket to wash away the blood stains on the stone altar.

"Drive~!"

A team of fast horses galloped across the bluestone road and arrived at the entrance of Fuwei Escort Agency.

"Captain Qian, Captain Zheng, Captain Zhang, you are back!"

The porter at the door was overjoyed.

Several escort leaders rushed out of the red lacquered gate and greeted them, "The message has just been sent out, how come you guys are here so quickly?"

"Eh!"

The big man holding the knife at the door clasped his fists and said, "Why wait for any news? We heard those malicious rumors in Luzhou Prefecture and knew that the chief escort was in trouble. We ran four horses to death on the way and finally rushed back to Fuzhou."

"Good!" The escort leader rushed out and said excitedly, "The six escort leaders in Gan are a few steps faster than you. As the saying goes, a pair of chopsticks cannot be broken. Let's gather together and see what tricks those scoundrels can play."

"Exactly that."

The head of the headquarters escort at the main gate invited the brothers from the branch offices in, and then instructed the escorts at the gate:
"Brothers, be more careful."

"Yes!"

The sounds of conversation at the entrance of the escort agency fell into Zhao Rong's ears. He dismounted and held the reins as he moved slightly closer to the entrance of the escort agency. He saw that the battle array had already been deployed inside.

There were two rows of benches at the entrance, on which sat a dozen men in tight suits, holding swords and axes, exuding a heroic air.

These are all bodyguards who have been in the martial arts world for many years. Even if their skills are not as good as those of the martial arts masters, their ruthlessness and fighting spirit are not bad.

The porter guarding the door looked alert. He saw a young man in black leading a horse straight forward, obviously heading for the escort agency.

Thinking of what happened in the escort agency in the past few days, he was about to step forward to stop them, when suddenly the sound of horse hooves clattered rapidly!

Three riders rushed from the east side of the bluestone road, snatched away from Zhao Rong and continued to run wildly.

"stop!"

Several porters at the door shouted in unison, and heard a rapid "Yu Yu" sound.

These three men were very skilled in horse riding. They could make the horses neigh and raise their front legs high, with their feet firmly placed on the brass stirrups and their bodies not moving at all.

If it charges forward two more steps, the horse's hoof will surely step on the porter's chest.

Seeing them being so offensive, several escorts rushed out of the escort agency.

"Who are you?"

The tone was already quite unfriendly at this point.

"Hahaha, sorry to bother you!"

The donkey-faced man at the front held the reins and looked down at the people at the entrance of the escort agency from his horse: "I am a friend from Zhongyuan, and I came here today to pay a visit to Chief Escort Lin."

"Forgive me, my chief escort has not been seeing guests recently."

The donkey-faced man sneered: "Could it be that Chief Escort Lin is waiting for his father-in-law to come to Fuzhou?"

"Golden Knife Wang Yuanba is a top figure in Luoyang, but Fuzhou is already entrenched with powerful forces, so Wang Yuanba can only bow his head and behave himself."

"Tell Chief Escort Lin now that I can save the entire Lin family."

The bodyguards at the door remained indifferent because they had heard such words too many times.

Either he is an old acquaintance, or he comes in a very arrogant tone to save this or that, or he threatens and directly demands the sword manual.

All kinds of forms and tones are common.

We have welcomed some people here before and treated them well.

Unexpectedly, they entered the escort agency during the day to find out the way, and came to rummage through the boxes and cabinets at night. Some of them even carried hoes and shovels and wanted to dig through the vegetable garden.

"The chief escort is ill and is sorry to see you."

The leading escort spread his hands and extended them outwards: "Please do as you please, sir."

The donkey-faced man's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and the meridians on his face throbbed as he wished he could draw his sword immediately.

The two people behind him looked around and coughed softly.

The donkey-faced man suppressed his anger and said, "Tell Chief Escort Lin that we will come again tomorrow."

The three of them came and left in a hurry.

"Which batch is it today?"

“It’s the twelfth batch.”

"No"

The escort frowned as he looked at the black-clad youth walking towards him. "It should be the thirteenth batch."

As Zhao Rong approached the door of the escort agency, he immediately felt many eyes staring at him from all directions. No wonder those three people didn't dare to take action.

"This young master is also here to look for my chief escort leader?"

"Exactly."

Seeing that the young man was quite polite in leading the horse over, the escort's voice became gentler.

"May I ask what is the relationship between you and the chief escort leader?"

"Old friend from Le'an."

After Zhao Rong said this, he suddenly found that several escorts were shaking their heads.

They have heard too many words like old friends from Luzhou, friends from Qiantang, and even people pretending to be from the Jindao Wang family.

"The chief escort is ill and is sorry to not see you. Please do as you please, young master."

Zhao Rong frowned.

Lin Zhennan didn’t see my letter?

If he saw the letter, he would definitely explain it to his subordinates. It seems that the letter may have been intercepted by someone.

Could it be that Zuo Lengchan had already set his sights on the Lin family?

Thinking of the Songshan Sect's method of planting spies, Zhao Rong did not reveal his identity for the time being.

Otherwise, Zuo Lengchan might become suspicious of the fake sword manual.

It would be safer to meet Lin Zhennan alone.

His mind raced without further ado. He turned his horse around and rode away. After exiting the escort agency, the feeling of being stared at instantly disappeared.

Zhao Rong checked three or four inns and found all of them were full.

Not to mention the inn, even the brothels near the Fuwei Escort Agency were full of people.

Fortunately, he looked gentle and didn't look like a bad guy. Finally, he found a merchant selling lantern masks on Ximen Street. The merchant had a vacant room and was willing to rent it to him.

The local parade and welcoming day for the gods is extremely grand, and the businesses related to it can take the opportunity to make some money.

This shop does related business.

"Young Master, are you here to join in the fun with those Jianghu people?"

Zhao Rong tied the horse in the yard, and the household owner, who was fiddling with the statue of the deity, asked curiously.

"Everyone in the underworld likes to join in the fun, and so do I."

The head of the household is Zhou Heng. He is not yet forty years old, but his face has deep smile lines.

After hearing what Zhao Rong said, two wrinkles appeared on his face:
"It's different. Several people have asked me if I have any vacancies in the store before, and I told them all that I didn't. These people don't know what's good for them. They bring me home to make some money but now they have to worry about losing their lives."

Zhao Rong laughed and picked up a mask: "How much is this?"

Zhou Heng was quite generous:

"Take it if you like. It will be hard to sell these accumulated goods after the parade day. Besides, the money you gave me is more than the price of the inn. It's not a big deal to give you a mask."

Zhao Rong did not refuse.

He took the mask and put it on his face. It fit perfectly.

I held it in my hand and looked at it with a sense of familiarity. "This mask is..."

"Oh, that's Lord Ma. The Five Manifestations Emperor has three eyes, so there's a vertical eye between his eyebrows on his mask that's easy to identify."

“This is one of the local parade gods.”

Seeing Zhao Rong put on the mask, Boss Zhou smiled and praised: "Your temperament makes this mask look better than before."

People who do business know how to talk.

Zhao Rong smiled and talked to him about the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Boss Zhou wasn't too concerned, he just knew there was a gang fight going on and someone died.

After lunch at noon, Zhao Rong walked outside for a few laps to explore the terrain and alleys, and also listened to what the people along the way were saying.

He had only been in Fuzhou for one day and didn't know much about the news here.

The Hengshan School did not extend its tentacles into the Fuzhou martial arts world.

They tried to find clues to locate the people from Songshan Sect, but unfortunately these guards hid themselves very well and didn't reveal their whereabouts.

That night.

There were many people lying in ambush around the Fuwei Escort Agency, but the experts were basically just watching, reaching a strange balance.

Perhaps this strange atmosphere has been going on for a few days, but this is the first time Zhao Rong has experienced it.

If there are not many forces paying attention to this place, then the sooner you act, the better.

Whoever takes the lead at this time may not be able to take the sword manual out of Fuzhou even if he obtains it.

"Uh~!"

Zhao Rong was standing in the dark and heard a scream coming from inside the Fuwei Escort Agency, followed by a bang and someone was thrown out of the agency by the porter.

Then came the sound of cursing.

It can be said that this person is a thief.

Not long after, another fight broke out in the escort agency. A group of escort leaders and escort masters outnumbered the others and killed four vicious gangsters behind the vermilion lacquered gate.

At this time, cheers were heard, apparently trying to scare the scoundrels away.

Zhao Rong watched quietly as the fight went on six or seven times that night.

The people from the Fuwei Branch returned to the headquarters. There are now nearly two hundred people in total, and they have set traps. Although the gangsters who rushed in have some skills, they are outnumbered.

Except for a few people who were good at light work and escaped by jumping over the wall, the rest of the people had buried their delusions of being invincible in the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Zhao Rong wandered in the darkness, watching those who escaped from the escort agency die one by one nearby.

The bodies of these people were touched cleanly.

As long as they enter the Fuwei Escort Agency, those hidden masters will have reason to suspect whether these people have obtained something.

Many of these hidden people discovered each other, but they reached a tacit understanding and did not take action.

Feeling the long or short, light or heavy auras around the Fuwei Escort Agency, even Zhao Rong had to hold his breath and not be careless.

The Fuwei Escort Agency is like a beehive in the Baiyao Valley Bee Garden. At this moment, the outside of the beehive is densely packed with killer poisonous bees!
With just one opportunity, this place can become a martial arts cemetery!

Hearing that people in the escort agency were still cheering for killing the invaders, I felt worried for them.

The one who had the audacity to take action at this time was just the most insignificant little character in the martial arts world.

The skills of the escort leaders are still too poor. Maybe they can guess that there are people hiding in the dark, but they cannot find these masters.

There was a hint of pale sky in the east, and the people hiding around the Fuwei Escort Agency suddenly dispersed.

Zhao Rong followed the two men to a location close to the city. Like the bodyguards, they were unable to detect their followers no matter how cautious they were.

After entering the courtyard, a series of footsteps were heard from the inner room.

I'm afraid there are more than twenty people.

"We can't do anything until they take action. We can just wait until Master gets here."

"Fuzhou is in big trouble. More and more masters are coming from the west and north of the city. It's already difficult to seize the sword manual. Hey, we should start with the Lin family as soon as possible!"

"..."

Hearing another round of cursing and discussion, Zhao Rong looked at the compound from outside and noted the location of the Qingcheng faction's station.

unfortunately
These are only people from the Qingcheng Sect. Where are the people from the Songshan Sect?
Yu Canghai is not here, so there is no point in taking action against these people.

Zhao Rong asked the old people along the way, but still couldn't find out where Xiangyang Lane was.

He returned to his shelter and took a nap for two hours, then sat cross-legged and practiced Qigong to adjust his condition to the extreme.

After working hard for a day and a night, he had roughly figured out the situation of the Fuwei Escort Agency and had a plan in mind.

The dusk is dark and the evening smoke is everywhere.

Dressed in black, he came to the Fuwei Escort Agency under the cover of darkness just like last night.

This time, he didn't wait and see.

The mansion of Fuwei Escort Agency is very large. Zhao Rongfei climbed onto the roof, channeled his energy into the Foot Yangming Meridian, and used the Baiyaomen's light skill, Flying Swallow, to skilfully capture water.

This skill's leaping and turning capabilities are not as strong as the somersaults of the Hengshan Ape King, but it is a light skill that assassins practice.

The characteristic of light and erratic steps is particularly obvious.

He flew over the roof tiles and was stuck in the shadow of the moonlight. Not to mention the head of the Lin family's escort, even the masters in the dark had no ability to find out where he was.

The hour of Xu is deep.

"Come die!"

"Hey, go die~!"

After a few angry shouts, another man in black died under the siege of a group of bodyguards.

But there was no cheering in the Fuwei Escort Agency. This fierce man in black first fell into a trap and then faced siege, but he still killed four people.

If he fights alone, I'm afraid no one here can be his match!
The smell of blood filled the courtyard.

The courtyard in the center of the escort agency is very large, and it is still spacious enough to accommodate a hundred people.

Everyone was staring at the masked man in black standing next to the stone table in the yard.

"Dad, who is he?"

Lin Pingzhi was breathing heavily while holding the sword, his face was slightly pale. If it weren't for a few escort leaders coming to his aid, he would have died at the hands of the man in black.

"I don't recognize it."

Lin Zhennan uncovered the veil of the man in black and shook his head helplessly.

A nearby escort saw the donkey-faced man and couldn't help but exclaimed, "I've seen this man before. He rode to the door yesterday and today to show off his power. He really has no good intentions!"

Lin Zhennan frowned: "There are several of them."

"Three. They said they were from the Central Plains. From the way they spoke, they seemed to be very familiar with Mr. Wang."

Madam Wang frowned and nodded: "That's normal. My father is quite famous in the Central Plains."

When Lin Pingzhi mentioned his grandfather, a gleam of hope appeared in his eyes.

"Mother, if Grandfather heard the news and went south, could he resolve this crisis?"

Lin Zhennan and his wife fell silent upon hearing this.

They were very nervous, knowing that even if Mr. Wang came, it would be useless in the current situation.

Not wanting to make his son worry, he was about to say something to comfort him.

did not expect.
“Drink hahahaha~!”

A shrill laugh sounded in the night sky, followed by a swish sound, and a figure jumped from the roof into the yard.

"Wang Yuanba, it's useless for you to come here, but if you kowtow to me and acknowledge me as your grandfather, I can find a way to help you out."

"Where did this bastard come from~!"

Lin Pingzhi shouted.

At this time, seven or eight bodyguards raised their weapons and suddenly surrounded and attacked without warning, and only a series of clanging sounds were heard.

The weapons of these bodyguards all flew out of their hands when they collided with the weapons of their opponents. A huge force was transmitted along the weapons, causing their knuckles to bleed!

I saw a shadow of legs flipping, and the man kicked in a circle, and all the bodyguards on all sides flew backwards!

Some were lying on the ground wailing, while others were unable to make any sound and their life or death was unknown.

"Master Li! Master Zhang~!"

"You thief!"

Lin Pingzhi shook a man's body, his eyes widened bloodshot, and he drew his sword to stab the man.

"Ping'er~!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled him back and stared at this strange and ugly man with Lin Zhennan.

This fat hunchback had white spots all over his face, and black marks here and there, and a high hunchback on his back.

This person looks ugly but his kung fu is so powerful.

The hunchback didn't even look at the escort leader in the courtyard, but instead bowed to all directions and said:

"I, Saibei Mingtuo, have met heroes from all over the world. Today, all the wise men have come, and there are countless masters. Since all the heroes are unwilling to show up, I, Mutuozi, will be the villain."

"Whether this Exorcist Sword Technique is good or bad, if there is anything mysterious about it, I will let you heroes try it. I don't dare to covet the sword manual, so please don't misunderstand me."

Some people in the courtyard who had heard of the name of Saibei Mingtu changed color slightly.

Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Wang looked around with helpless and horrified eyes.

This hunchback is such an expert in martial arts, yet he was so afraid of death that he went to explain first.

It can be seen how many evil spirits are lurking in the dark.

How could my Lin family encounter such a great disaster!
Lin Zhennan, who was always calm in the face of difficulties, had trembling hands at this moment. Mrs. Wang, who was standing beside him, felt it and held her husband's hand tightly, then gave him a firm look.

Mrs. Wang was also a heroic woman and was not afraid of death, but when she looked at her son, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

Lin Zhennan glanced at his wife, then looked at his son who was staring at Mu Gaofeng with fear and anger. Under such great pressure, he no longer wanted to care about the ancestral teachings of Yuantu.

Endless disaster Endless disaster
If my whole family dies, I won’t care about any disaster!
He was troubled but soon calmed down.

Weighing how to keep the Lin family safe in this storm.

Mu Gaofeng turned to look at Lin Zhennan after he finished speaking: "Captain Lin, there are many heroes present today, please bring the Sword Manual of Exorcism to us."

"My Lin family has never had any sword manuals," Lin Zhennan shook his head. "The rumors are so terrible. If the sword manual of my family is really that magical, I would have studied and practiced it long ago." "Not to mention me, even my father has never seen any sword manuals to ward off evil spirits."

His tone was extremely sincere, without a trace of falsehood in it.

Mu Gaofeng smiled sinisterly: "It is really difficult to ask Chief Escort Lin to take out such a treasure. I also know that the Lin family is a hero and will not be afraid of death."

"But today, the heroes will not stop until they see the sword manual."

He looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Your son is handsome, with delicate skin and tender flesh like a young girl. I wonder if you two would be willing to skin him alive if the heroes don't get the sword manual."

After he finished speaking, he sneered, and Lin Zhennan and his wife's faces changed drastically.

Lin Pingzhi's body was trembling, but he forgot his fear as blood rushed to his face. He pointed his sword at Mu Gaofeng and shouted:

"You shameless and despicable hunchback. I, Lin Pingzhi, am not a coward. Even if I have the sword manual, I will tear it up and not give it to you!"

"good!!"

At this time, two voices sounded at the same time, and two more figures jumped into the yard.

On the left is a long-haired monk holding a pair of tiger-head swords bent into a half-moon shape.

The man on the right is dressed as a beggar, with two triangular-headed green snakes coiled on his shoulders.

It was Qiu Songnian and the Twin Snakes Beggar who had been with Monk Xibao before.

The two were originally doing business near Hengyang, but later they were too afraid to stay in Hengzhou Prefecture.

Qiu Songnian is now following Shangguan Yun, and he doesn't even bother to even look at Saibei Mingtu, who is not Saibei Sword God.

"Captain Lin, just hand over the Sword Manual of Exorcism to me. Since this item is related to the Eastern Cult Master, we should take it back to Blackwood Cliff."

"You don't have to worry. Giving the sword manual this time is also a great achievement. You will be rewarded with a divine pill and will serve the Eastern Sect Leader in the future. Who in the world dares to embarrass the Lin family?"

He promised benefits.

Yan Sanxing, the evil beggar with twin snakes, threatened:
"If you don't hand over the sword manual, not only will your Lin family be wiped out, but not even a good tile will be left."

The Lin family's escorts and bodyguards looked at Mu Gaofeng, then at the two evil men, and they felt truly chilled to the bone.

There seemed to be countless masters in the darkness.

As soon as the two finished speaking, before Lin Zhennan could respond, two more masked men in black landed in the yard.

They didn't waste any words and pointed at Lin Pingzhi and said:
"Captain Lin, if you show me the Lin family sword manual, I will accept your son as my apprentice."

"How about you learn the Soul Chasing Palm from me in the future?"

Hearing that he was going to accept disciples, Lin Zhennan couldn't help but ask, "Where are the two masters from?"

"The Soul-Chasing Sect of the Kongtong Sect."

The tall man in black snorted arrogantly: "Don't we have the qualifications?"

Kongtong Sect is also a famous and upright sect. After hearing what he said, Lin Zhennan was indeed tempted.

"Hahaha," the hunchback laughed so hard that it shook violently.

"How could they reveal their identities when they came here with masks on? They are clearly abandoned disciples of Kongtong Sect. The other day, the escort leader of the Lin family died under the Soul Chaser Palm. It was these two who murdered him."

"Please let me, Mu Tuozi, take a look at the sword manual. I will help the heroes who have not yet appeared to distinguish the real from the fake."

As the five people in the field spoke, their eyes were all fixed on Lin Pingzhi.

Each of the five people had been in the martial arts world for many years, and they discovered the flaws of Lin Zhennan and his wife in just a short time!

"Ping'er, retreat quickly!"

Mrs. Wang shouted and pulled Lin Pingzhi back.

At this moment, before Mu Gaofeng, Qiu Songnian and the other five people could take action, another man in black floated into the yard.

The five people who entered before had different movements.

This man in black was silent and extremely weird!

Looking at his appearance again, one feels even colder.

The moonlight sprinkled on a mask of a wandering god, making the face look even paler. In addition, it fell to the ground silently, and there were two deep pools on both sides of the vertical eyes between the eyebrows, as if a wandering god had really passed through the darkness and descended to the world.

The local escorts and head escorts in Fuzhou, including Lin Zhennan's family of three, were naturally very familiar with this face.

That is Lord Horse.

As soon as the masked man landed, everyone became nervous.

Because he was very close to Lin Pingzhi!

Mu Gaofeng has always been cautious and ruthless. He was confused and looked at Lin Pingzhi again.

He quickly glanced at the four people and then shouted:

"He wants to arrest Lin Pingzhi!"

This loud shout immediately woke up Qiu Songnian and others.

"court death!"

The two Soul-Chasing Palm masters, Qiu Songnian, and the Twin Snake Beggars roared at the same time.

The four of them rushed towards the masked man in an instant, trying to snatch Lin Pingzhi back, but Mu Gaofeng deliberately slowed down a step.

next second!
A ray of sword light flashed across the face of the evil beggar with two snakes in the front. Just as the two met, when his eyes were dazed, Yan Sanxing felt a sudden pain in his neck.

The two green snakes that rushed out from the shoulders were also broken into two pieces and fell from the air.

“Sizzle!”

The sword light pressed down, instantly pressing down Qiu Songnian's tiger-head ring knife, and sparks flew along the waist of the knife!

Qiu Songnian's eyes were pierced by the flowing fire. In just a moment of recovery, the monk dropped the knife in his hand and desperately covered his throat with both hands.

As the sword was swung out, Zhao Rong used his left palm to create a double shadow, and used one palm to counter the two soul-chasing palms from the side!
The expressions of the two black-clad masters who had connections with the Kongtong Soul-Chasing Sect changed drastically the moment they faced each other.

He is a top master!
The moment this exaggerated thought came to mind, an extremely strong force surged in from the Laogong acupoint, destroying the Shouqueyin pericardium meridian with ease, and directly broke through Quze and blasted into the Tianchi acupoint!

"Pfft~!"

The two men spat out a mouthful of blood foam towards the sky, and the power of the Soul-Chasing Palm was forcibly pressed into their bodies!

This is really soul-stirring~!

"Boom~!"

There were two loud bangs in succession, and the two men fell asleep on the big banyan tree in the yard.

“Hey~~!”

Mu Gaofeng, the strongest of the five, roared loudly, left the ground with both feet, and ran towards the roof with all his strength.

Who the hell is this master? He was actually attracted by the Sword Manual of Exorcism!

wrong
This man's swordsmanship is so terrifying, it is definitely not for the sword manual.

It is the truth of life, it must be the truth of life!

Mu Tuozi's greed grew, and he felt a chill running from his hunchback to the soles of his feet. He held his breath and ran for his life, not daring to even breathe.

Qiu Songnian and Yan Sanxing had already guessed who the visitor was through the mask.

They had originally escaped from Hengzhou Prefecture, and no one knew it better than them.

At this time, the two men's eyes were filled with fear, but they could not make any sound and soon fell down limply.

Zhao Rong turned around and was about to say something.

Hundreds of people in the courtyard retreated in unison, each with a look of alarm and fear on their faces.

Mu Tuozi escapes, and the four masters all die!
They had experienced how powerful the hunchback was before. He was almost the strongest person they had ever seen in their lives. Then four hunchback-like figures appeared one after another!

Now. Now this
What kind of person is he?
The travellers felt as if they had been living in a dream.

Rivers and lakes
This is the real and terrifying world!
Zhao Rong twitched his ears slightly and looked outside the escort agency. He jumped onto the roof with such speed that everyone in the Fuwei Escort Agency could only see a black afterimage. He was really like a ghost.

Lin Zhennan and his wife stared blankly in the direction where the masked man disappeared.

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Who is this person wearing the parade god mask?"

Lin Zhennan shook his head: "I don't know who it is either. I'm afraid it's the leader of a big sect in the martial arts world."

The leader of a big sect
Lin Pingzhi was shocked, but he said, "He doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us."

"Dad, is there really some incredible sword manual in my house that would attract such a master?"

There were many eyes and ears around, Lin Zhennan shook his head and said: "I have never seen any sword manual."

This was not a lie, he really didn't know anything about sword manuals.

Mr. Yuantu was right, this ancestral object is indeed a disaster.

Before everyone had recovered from the melee, there were sudden shouts and screams outside the escort agency, and the sounds were getting closer and closer!
"Shuashuashua~~!"

One figure after another appeared in the courtyard.

Men in black, men in black are everywhere!
It was a night that everyone at the Fuwei Escort Agency would never forget.

Maybe after tonight, this life will be over.

"Don't act rashly."

Lin Zhennan forced himself to calm down. He whispered an order and looked towards the courtyard.

In such a short period of time, there were hundreds of people in the open, and it was unknown how many people were secretly waiting for the sword manual to be released.

However.
In the courtyard with so many people, you could hear a pin drop.

There was only one person in the yard, sitting at the stone table. He was tall, with a sparse, long, white beard hanging down to his chest.

"Wow~!"

The man in gray robe pulled out a line of wine and was actually drinking.

Lin Zhennan couldn't figure out what was going on. The men in black seemed to have surrounded him. He wondered if they were arguing about the sword manual.

"Hey, is that Chief Lin from the Fuwei Escort Agency?"

Lin Zhennan took a deep breath and said, "It is me."

He agreed.

Hundreds of eyes immediately focused on him!

The gazes of these people were like knives, seeming to cut Lin Zhennan's body, wanting to see where he had hidden the sword manual.

He had been stared at by many people before, but he had never felt such great pressure.

Lin Zhennan swallowed his saliva, feeling that the life and death of the entire Lin family was hanging by a thread. "I wonder if you have any advice for me, senior?"

He could tell that the drinker was extraordinary, and he felt a vague sense of familiarity.

"Yes, you have some courage."

"There's no need to hide it from you. I'm Xiang Wentian. Friends in the martial arts world, please give me the honor of calling me the King of Heaven."

Lin Pingzhi's eyes widened when he heard this.

Xiang Wentian, this is the King of Heaven!

He had heard his father talk about how powerful this man was before, so no wonder he was the only one sitting down to drink, he was truly full of heroic spirit.

He thought to himself, "If I had this ability, how could my parents be bullied like this?"

The moonlight was not too bright, and Lin Zhennan looked carefully, and then he matched the person with the one he remembered.

Xiang Wentian pointed at the men in black around him and said with a smile:
"These people who hide their heads and show their tails all want your sword manual to ward off evil spirits. I don't care about sword manuals in the first place."

"But I heard that this sword manual is related to Dongfang Bubai, so I am a little curious."

"Captain Lin, listen to my advice. It is now known to the world that your Lin family is not capable of keeping this sword manual. The reason why these people did not take action is because the sword manual has not yet appeared, and they want to retain some strength."

"When their patience runs out, they will attack the Lin family. In the chaos of looting, no one in your family will be left alive."

He laughed and took another sip of wine:

"Take out the sword manual now and I'll take it away. Then everyone in the martial arts world will know that it was Xiang Wentian who got the sword manual, and your Lin family will escape disaster."

Lin Zhennan thought this was a solution.

But he didn't have any sword manual at all.

According to ancestral teachings, this family heirloom should be in the cellar of the old house in Xiangyang Lane.

I don’t know if it is a sword manual.

Before he could say anything, Lin Pingzhi, who was standing beside him, looked at the group of men in black and said, "You are going too far. My family has never had any sword manuals!"

"If it was really that magical, we would have practiced it long ago. How could we end up being bullied like this today?"

When Mrs. Wang saw that he was so angry that his face turned red, she felt extremely distressed.

"Hahaha!"

Xiang Wentian laughed loudly: "You are a man of integrity, but you know nothing about martial arts. Now your Lin family must make up a sword manual even if they have to. Without it, you won't survive."

"Xiang Wentian, you don't have to worry about others. First worry about whether you can survive."

"The Divine Religion won't tolerate you, and those hypocritical and upright people will also kill you. Where in the world is there a place for you?"

"come!"

Xiang Wentian threw the wine at the crowd: "If you have the guts, come together and see who gets the sword manual in the end."

As soon as the sword manual was mentioned, everyone around who wanted to take action hesitated.

Xiang Wentian laughed mockingly upon seeing this:
"Captain Lin, how can we trust these people? Just give me the sword manual."

There were also people with bad tempers in the crowd who were unwilling to be humiliated: "You are looking for death!"

Sun Zhongqing took the opportunity to shout, "We can't let Xiang Wentian get the Sword Manual of Exorcism!"

When one of Sun Zhongqing's men took action, it immediately triggered a group of people to take action!

Xiang Wentian lifted the stone table in the yard with both hands and threw it towards the crowd. The black-clad men behind him dispersed, and the black-clad masters in the front stepped on the stone table and gave a flying kick.

Boom!
The stone table broke and choked out a large amount of white ash!

Xiang Wentian rushed into the white ash, swung his double-handed chain knives and killed two people in a row.

They were all wearing black clothes and masks, and no one knew who they had killed.

Sun Zhongqing and the two elders Wu and Shi did not take action. They stared at Xiang Wentian and the Lin family.

Hall Master Sun gave the two elders a look, how could they not understand.

Today, he was going to use the people of the Righteous Alliance to kill Xiang Wentian, and also to seize the sword manual from the Lin family.

This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

But
When the melee started, someone couldn't help it!
A man jumped out from the side of Ding Mian, Zhong Zhen and others and rushed towards the Lin family!
The person who took action was none other than Han Yulin, the newly promoted Thirteenth Guardian of Songshan.

As soon as the little guard moved, there were people with ulterior motives around him, and seven or eight more followed him!
They ignored Lin Zhennan and all rushed towards Mrs. Wang and Lin Pingzhi.

After arresting these two, are you still afraid that Lin Zhennan won't surrender? !

Almost at the same time as they joined forces, hundreds of people hiding in the dark rushed out.

Among these people, there is also a strange masked man.

The young guard Han Yulin was about to succeed when he knocked Mrs. Wang's golden knife away with one sword.

In a flash, he heard a scream beside him.

Then it was like a strong wind blowing on my body, and I felt cold all over.

He glanced sideways and saw a dark white mask of the wandering god, which was really strange in the moonlight. At that moment, his eyes were illuminated by the sword light!
not good!

"Brother, save me~!!!"

The little treasure shouted this sentence out of his survival instinct, but his voice suddenly stopped the next second!

Many people looked over after hearing his voice, only to see the little guard being pierced by the sword tip. After the sword pierced him, it also stabbed to death another man in black behind him!

Then there was a burst of blood flying around, just like a big brush spitting out ink!

The ink is splashed on the hemp, and the freehand sword energy is sinister and intimidating!

Everyone saw that the seven or eight people who followed Xiao Taibao fell down in the sword light like wheat in a wheat field.

The strange masked man killed more than a dozen people, and the moonlight was dimmed!
Where does this master come from!

The man in black, who was unaware of the truth, was blown by the strong wind of the freehand sword energy, but he could not recognize what kind of sword technique it was.

But in the eyes of an expert, it’s different!
Sun Zhongqing, the head of Xuanwu Hall, just took a quick look and then glanced at the masked man's figure. The alarm bells in his heart kept ringing!

“Let’s go~!!”

He roared loudly and rushed out from beside the two elders Wu Shi like a dragon!

The two elders Wu and Shi were slightly stunned.

But they believed in the amazing wisdom of Master Sun, so they also shouted: "Go~!!"

The king who was fighting fiercely glanced at the masked man over there, and immediately said nothing. He swung his chain knife wildly, cutting a bloody path, rushed onto the roof and flew away.

Ding Mian and Zhong Zhen also shouted: "Retreat~!!"

The rest of the men in black were all confused and didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but they all felt that there must be something strange about the other people leaving.

What's more, there's no point in risking my life if the sword manual isn't out yet!
The group of men in black came and went in a hurry.

Zhao Rong killed another person. He looked up and saw people around him running away in all directions. He was caught off guard.

Suspicion suddenly arose in my heart
Could it be that Dongfang Bubai is here?
He carefully climbed onto the roof, and took advantage of the cover of night to hide in the darkness and observe.

The people from the Fuwei Escort Agency recalled the quiet courtyard and looked at the corpses all over the ground, and they felt it was extremely weird.

A cold wind blew and everyone shivered.
