Knife splashing

Chapter 672 Clues to the Black Hand

puff!
Even though Zhang Tiankui retreated immediately, he was still sprayed in the face by the red smoke.

He was shocked and angry, but just as he was about to take action, he felt his whole body go limp, his head was dizzy, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

What a powerful poison!
Zhang Tiankui felt a chill in his heart and wanted to reach out to touch her.

He is also considered an old hand, and he always carries detoxification pills in his arms, which he got from the Baiyun Temple in the capital at a great cost. No matter whether it is a Gu or a poison, he can suppress it temporarily and then find an opportunity to ask an expert doctor for help.

But what horrified him was that he felt so weak at the moment that he couldn't even take out the pills.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Tiankui concentrated his mind and tensed his spine.

This is his last trump card.

He was able to achieve what he has today because he was different from ordinary people since he was a child. He had a strong spine and an extra tendon.

This is the "dragon spine". The physiognomy book says: A person with curved and stretched dragon bones has great strength and a fierce temperament.

When he was young, he could not withstand the power of the dragon spine and almost became a hunchbacked disabled person. Fortunately, Lu Jinghai found him after he came back. He used clever strength to push the palace to bleed every day, and also invited a Taoist doctor to use precious medicinal materials to refine it, so that the dragon spine could grow smoothly.

In any kung fu, the strength of the waist and spine is crucial.

Only with this dragon spine can the extremely explosive grappling and wrestling techniques be supported.

Not only that, he also became a monk and learned the art of divine fighting.

This "dragon spine" was created using a secret method similar to Wang Daoxuan's. It hides the Dao Gang Sha Qi and is specifically used to break through at critical moments. It's a life-saving trump card, and no one has told it.

But as soon as he moved, he saw Lu Jinghai approaching closely.

The strange scaly arms gripped the spine like an iron clamp.

Under the pain, Zhang Tiankui no longer had the strength to resist.

"Tiankui..."

Lu Jinghai sighed, holding Zhang Tiankui's spine with one hand and patting his shoulder with the other. "When I was twelve years old, your father blocked the poisonous arrow of the Wolf Country Shaman for me. I think I have treated you well. Why did you turn against me?"

As he spoke, things outside returned to calm.

In a short time, all of Zhang Tiankui's men were killed by the men in black.

They attacked ruthlessly, cooperated well, and were extremely good at sneak attacks, but only three people were killed or wounded.

More importantly, are the weapons in these people's hands.

The blade is narrow and curved, the back is thick and sharp, and there are grooves on the spine to reduce weight and increase toughness.

There are not only people from all walks of life from the north and south but also many foreigners at the Tianjin Wharf over the years.

Zhang Tiankui recognized that this was a Japanese sword used by Japanese pirates from Japan.

Seeing this, how could he not understand what was happening?
"Father!"

Zhang Tiankui gritted his teeth and said, "I don't accept it, but I just can't stand that bastard Yu Wenhai. If he really wanted to harm you, why would he stay in the South City wrestling arena so cowardly all these years?"

"To plot against the Nine Cauldrons is a capital crime, and colluding with outsiders is even more damning. Don't be fooled by Yu Wenhai!"

"cheat?"

Lu Jinghai laughed dumbly, "If I don't nod, Yu Wenhai won't have the courage to do it."

"Why are you?"

Zhang Wenkui was speechless and could hardly believe it.

At this moment, a cold voice came from above the courtyard wall.

"Because he's afraid of death!"

"Who?!"

Lu Jinghai was startled and grabbed Zhang Tiankui by the throat and stood in front of him.

And those Japanese men in black turned around and waved their hands up and down.

Whoosh whoosh!
Dense numbers of hidden weapons whizzed out.

With the sound of clanging, the walls were covered with shurikens and cross swords.

"So you guys are hiding here?"

The vague voice sounded again behind them.

The men in black were suddenly horrified and quickly drew their swords and turned around.

"やれ(do it)!"

They turned around, bursting out the strength of their waists and abdomens, and when they turned around, the knife light had already arrived.

It was obviously some unique sword-drawing technique.

However, it was all too late.

But in the howling wind, several paper figures of Chu Ling spontaneously combusted without wind, and a figure appeared, it was Li Yan.

Faced with the three attacking weapons, Li Yan didn't even blink.

Clang!

The dragon roar sounded from the waist.

But I saw two rays of light flying up and down.

The three masked Japanese men felt a huge shock in their hands, and their weapons shattered.

They were horrified, but before they could retreat, the knife had already pierced their foreheads and at the same time passed through the hearts of their companions behind them.

It was Li Yan’s soul-breaking flying knife.

With the control of the Soul-Hooking Thunder Rope, you can move it as easily as with your own arm within a range of twenty meters, almost like using a flying sword.

If someone is killed by the Soul-breaking Flying Dagger, the soul will be shattered.

Normally, Li Yan would not use it indiscriminately.

Firstly, it can be used as a trump card, and secondly, I don’t want to do things too drastically.

But when facing these people, he was happy to use them.

The knife flashed and blood splattered.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight Japanese masked men died.

At the same time, a figure appeared on the wall behind again. It was Lu San.

He waved his arms and steel spikes whizzed out.

Puff puff!
Directly inserted into the back of the heads of several Japanese people.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, these Japanese people were completely scared.

The few people leaning in the middle took out pills from their arms at the same time and threw them to the ground.

Bang!
There was an explosion and thick smoke spread everywhere. The remaining Japanese took the opportunity to escape.

But Li Yan was too lazy to pay attention. He turned around and strode into the courtyard.

"Lu Jinghai, don't bother with it!"

Looking at Lu Jinghai who wanted to escape, he walked away and said in a deep voice: "Who taught you this "Demon Snake Immortality Technique"! "

After Zhang Tiankui left, he used the escape technique to follow him secretly and came to the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

Lu Jinghai revealed the green scales on his arm, and Gou Die also captured the devilish aura at the same time.

It took some time to complete the task and I have figured out the source of the evil spirit.

What Lu Jinghai practiced was the "Demon Snake Immortality Technique", which originated from a demon god named "Guilong".

This demon god was originally a monster from the time of Emperor Zhuanxu. He looked like a dragon without horns, was good at controlling clouds and mist, wandering around mountains and rivers, liked to eat human brains, and swallowed a large amount of demonic energy. He was immortal and indestructible. After the Battle of the Gods, he was thrown into Luofeng Mountain and suppressed.

At this time, he also had a general understanding of the Battle of the Gods.

That was also a humanitarian change.

Not only did the Shang Dynasty on earth perish, but the Daluo Dharma Realm also experienced a turmoil.

There are many implications involved, involving ancient gods, human sacrifice and other customs.

In short, both human sacrifices and the Daluo Dharma Realm have changed since then.

This "Demon Snake Immortality Technique" is extremely brutal. To practice it, one must capture a demon snake from the water, swallow it alive, and also go through many cruel secret techniques.

The advantage is that it can imitate the shedding of a snake's skin, being reborn again and again and maintaining the vitality of the body.

But there are indeed many hidden dangers.

They have to endure the extreme pain of molting and also eat human brains regularly.

No wonder Lu Jinghai was hiding here.

With money, he bribed the Taoist priests of Taixuan Orthodox Sect stationed in the temple, and used secular gods to cover up his presence.

At the same time, the Jade Emperor Pavilion is close to the dock, which makes it convenient for him to eat human brains and destroy the bodies.

The flow of people at the Tianjin wharf is complex, with many merchants coming and going, so if someone is missing, it is impossible to tell.

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

Hearing Li Yan's words, a trace of panic flashed in Lu Jinghai's eyes.

"Why are you pretending to be confused!"

Li Yan sneered and said, "It must be uncomfortable to shed your skin. Why are you hiding in the dark and afraid to see the sun?"

At this moment, it is sunset.

The setting sun just passed over the top of the side hall, but Lu Jinghai remained in the shadows.

This is also the weakness of the "Demon Snake Longevity Technique". The snake cannot be seen in the sunlight within seven days of shedding its skin.

"Shut up, what do you know, you little brat?!"

Lu Jinghai practiced evil magic, and his character had changed a lot. When Li Yan repeatedly pointed out his weaknesses, he became a little crazy and roared, "I have been a soldier all my life and made great contributions to Daxuan, but you stripped me of my official uniform just because I played with a few women!"

"The British palace seems to treat me well, but in fact, they just treat me like a dog. They come when they call and go when they send!"

"Daxuan has let me down, Shenzhou has let me down. Is it not possible for me to live a few more days?!" At this moment, the depression accumulated over the years seemed to be completely released.

Fine green scales also appeared on the face and neck.

Zhang Tiankui, who was being held by the throat, finally found an opportunity at this moment.

He used the only remaining evil energy in his dragon spine, shook his body violently, then grabbed Lu Jinghai's arm and bent over to swing it.

Today, Zhang Tiankui is even more famous than the former Cangzhou wrestling champion.

Although it was an explosion of residual strength, it was also extremely ferocious.

Swish!
As he fell to the ground, Lu Jinghai was thrown out by him.

"Ah~"

As soon as he flew out of the side hall and touched the sunlight after landing, Lu Jinghai let out a shrill scream.

The green scales on the skin were emitting black smoke and were rapidly withering and falling off piece by piece.

The pain is almost like being skinned.

Lu Jinghai struggled to get into the hall, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

But Li Yan had already stepped forward and stabbed his leg with a knife, nailing it to the bluestone slab.

"Ah~ah~"

Lu Jinghai struggled frantically, and even pulled his leg with his backhand, tearing it into pieces. He crawled into the hall with a bloody mess.

"Young Master Li, please stop!"

In the side hall, the limp Zhang Tiankui opened his mouth, his eyes full of pity and pleading.

Even though Lu Jinghai tried to kill him, he was raised by Lu Jinghai since childhood and their relationship was no less than that of father and son.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and did not continue.

It wasn’t because Zhang Tiankui pleaded for mercy.

The Jinghai Gang caused the destruction of countless families, and when those people begged for mercy, all was in vain.

Similarly, if these people fall into his hands, don't try to act pitiful.

In fact, some information still needs to be obtained from Lu Jinghai.

Lu Jinghai used both hands to struggle and crawl, leaving a long trail of blood behind him.

After crawling into the shadows, he finally ran out of strength and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Li Yan followed closely behind him and kicked him hard on the wound, saying coldly: "Tell me, who taught you this evil method, which old bastard in Tianjin is hiding Jianmu, and what about opium?"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Lu Jinghai's white hair was disheveled, and he was breathing heavily, but he just laughed crazily, "Fuck your grandma, I won't tell you, just kill me!"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, swung the Dust-Breaking Knife, and with a "whoosh" sound, he stabbed into the opponent's other leg and dragged him out.

"Ah~ let me go!"

As if remembering the pain of being exposed to the sun, Lu Jinghai struggled frantically again.

"Godfather, please speak!"

Zhang Tiankui shouted anxiously: "Young Master Li, let me talk to him."

Li Yan snorted coldly and stopped, just where the sunlight and shadow met.

Zhang Tiankui shoveled the detoxification pill into his mouth without caring about his appearance, and forced himself to crawl a few meters.

Looking at Lu Jinghai's appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad. "Foster father, you are not that kind of person. You taught me in the past that I should stand at attention when I was beaten. You also told me that you never regretted going to Northern Xinjiang."

"You even boasted to me about how many remnants of the Wolf Nation you killed..."

"Woo woo~ Yu Wenhai, that bastard, what kind of magic potion did he feed you..."

At this moment, Lu Jinghai's evil magic was broken and his eyes were a little dazed.

It seemed that Zhang Tiankui's shouting awakened his reason. Lu Jinghai opened his lips slightly, looked at the sky for a long while, and said: "The person who taught me the secret method is called Kong Zizai. He is a Nanyang merchant who is hiding on the red-haired foreigner's ship at the dock."

"Kong Zizai?"

Li Yan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "What's wrong with Yu Wenhai, how do you know him?"

The so-called Kong Zizai is most likely Mr. Landu Kong Hui.

The Jianmu organization is indeed in collusion with the red-haired barbarians.

Lu Jinghai was barely breathing at this time, but his eyes became clearer and brighter, no longer as dark and crazy as before.

Hearing Li Yan's question, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Yu Wenhai is Kong Zizai's apprentice. As for how I met him, I can't tell you in detail. I can only tell you that it was at the Peach Banquet in the capital."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Tiankui, grinning and saying, "You bastard, do you know why I distanced myself from you?"

"I'm jealous of you. If I had such a good talent, I wouldn't be hanging out with these filthy people."

"If I had made more contributions in the Northern Frontier, I wouldn't have..."

Before he could finish his words, he was completely out of breath.

"father!"

Zhang Tiankui suddenly let out a loud roar.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes, too lazy to say more, and turned and left.

He didn't expect that Zhang Tiankui had such feelings for Lu Jinghai.

If we let this idiot control the situation, I'm afraid he won't cooperate.

The most urgent task is to prevent Kong Zizai from leaving.

Bang bang bang!
At this moment, several bodies fell from the sky.

They were the Japanese men in black who had escaped. Their masks had been removed, revealing they were all bald and their faces were swollen and purple.

Long Yaner's figure also appeared on the roof of the side hall.

Now that they have fallen out, the Twelve Yuanchen naturally have to cooperate.

"San'er, notify the Duwei Division and arrest Yu Wenhai."

"Go to the dock and catch Kong Hui!"

Lu San nodded and whistled into the air.

The falcon Lidong circled in the air and flew towards the east of the city.

Sharifei, who was on the roof opposite, also picked up the magic gun and jumped off the wall.

The Jinmen Duwei Division is just to the east of the city. Before Wang Baihu went to the garrison, he had already taken the token left by Tian Qianhu and summoned all the Duwei Division personnel to be ready for action at any time.

As for Li Yan, he no longer cared about the situation in the city.

This rotten gentleman Kong Hui's layout in Tianjin is most likely intended to seize the throne of Jizhou.

Compared with Lu Sheng and the Ghost Emperor Xuan Mo, this person is more hidden and more insidious.

Who knows what terrible plans have been made.

As long as he is killed, all conspiracies will naturally end.

Everyone strode out of the door, and the Taoist who had been knocked unconscious along the way had woken up.

When he saw Li Yan and others, he was so frightened that he trembled and retreated repeatedly.

Li Yan was too lazy to pay attention. Most of these Taoists were fake Taoists brought by Lu Jinghai. They only knew how to burn incense and make money. They had caused such a big disaster. No matter the laws of the Xuanmen or the court, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

After leaving the Jade Emperor Pavilion, everyone immediately went to the Sancha River Mouth.

"It's them!"

Hundreds of people suddenly rushed onto the street.

Each of them held a sharp blade, had a fierce look on their face, and had the Jinghai Gang's Qinglin badge hanging around their waist.

"They killed the leader. Anyone who can avenge them will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver!"

Someone in the crowd shouted excitedly.

The gang members' eyes suddenly turned red with anger and they quickened their pace.

"Lao Sha, make way!" Li Yan snorted coldly.

He knew that these people were sent by Yu Wenhai regularly to stop harassment.

"Hehe~"

Sharifei let out a sinister laugh, picked up the magic gun, and pulled the trigger.

They are people who have fought their way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses. These thugs from Tianjin have really picked the wrong target.

boom!
With a loud roar, the streets were splattered with blood and covered with body parts.

"Killing!"

The people who were watching the excitement from a distance were suddenly frightened and scattered.

The surviving bastards of the Jinghai Gang were so frightened that they shit and pissed themselves.

They are cruel and domineering, but who has ever seen such a living devil?

Li Yan and others were too lazy to pay attention and rushed directly to the dock.

"That's the one!"

Li Yan looked forward and saw the Tulip, which was the ship they saw when they first arrived in Tianjin.

But at this moment, a warning sign suddenly emerged in his heart.

"Quick, spread out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several cannons on the Tulip began to move slowly, aiming at the dock...
