Start with a red name

Chapter 76 Both sides suffer losses
This penetrating warning also alerted the scarred man who was also just a few walls away, and another figure who was also groping forward in a tense and alert mood.

They followed the first sound and made their own sounds almost simultaneously.

"Be careful with hidden weapons!"

"Watch out for flying knives!"

Because the reminder came too suddenly, it caught everyone off guard.

Before the two flying knives thrown by Geng Xuan took one person's life, the other person's nervous gaze caught the flash of the two knives passing through the void.

Although the two flying knives successfully completed their mission, the target was quickly taken away without making any sound.

But the witness had already locked onto his hiding place based on the trajectory of the flying knife.

"it's here!"

The man roared and threw two heavy hammers, which directly hit Geng Xuan's hiding place.

Although Geng Xuan responded to the man's rudeness with three flying knives, facing the two huge hammers whizzing towards him, Geng Xuan had to move and dodge, and was forced to reveal his figure from his hiding place.

The warrior who was throwing his two hammers angrily was hit by three flying knives at the same time on his heart, throat, and forehead.

With eyes wide open, he fell to the ground with a bang.

His companions inherited his will and turned into berserkers, holding knives and swords, and rushed towards him while shouting and cursing.

Geng Xuan felt quite regretful that he could not continue to "cheat".

But facing this fierce attack coming from all directions, he had no intention of retreating.

Not only did he not retreat or avoid, but he took the initiative to meet the enemy, moving nimbly between the figures and the flashing swords and sabers, dodging and moving nimbly with dexterity and agility.

He also cleverly used natural obstacles such as trees, columns, and rockery to prevent the besiegers from completing their encirclement of him.

I have always been in a state of "about to catch it, but always just a step away".

These people are tempted by the "slimline difference" and "immediate success" and can't stop.

They didn't even realize that during this hasty and brief siege, the number of their companions around them had unknowingly decreased.

And along the road they chased, there were bodies crawling or lying on their backs, bleeding profusely.

These bodies lying on the ground are rapidly turning into corpses.

When someone finally realized that something was wrong, the blood boiling from anger subsided a little, and when they looked around, their hearts, which had been warm a moment ago, instantly turned cold.

After counting again and again, there were only three lonely people left out of the lively group that could have formed a large table.

The three men then realized that they, who seemed to be the pursuers, were actually the prey who fell into the trap.

Death can come at any time.

Almost at the same time, the three made the same choice.

They retreated quickly, keeping a close eye on Geng Xuan's hands, ready to deal with his hidden weapon attacks at any time.

Within a few breaths, the three people met different fates.

Two people managed to escape from danger without being harassed during their retreat.

But one person fell on the way of retreat.

Although he had made sufficient preparations, when faced with four flying knives that attacked him almost at the same time, he swung his sword to intercept them. However, the four flying knives, which originally had similar speeds, suddenly underwent subtle changes. One of the knives seemed to suddenly become a little faster, while the speed of the other three seemed to become a little slower.

Between fast and slow, the four flying knives that were originally moving forward in unison suddenly opened up a gap in their positions.

At this time, the long sword that had been swung out had no time to change its moves and collided with the flying knife in front.

The force transmitted from the flying knife was beyond the expectation of the person swinging the sword to intercept it, and the long sword paused in the air.

It was this brief pause that allowed three flying knives that arrived later to fly directly into this person's arms.

The next moment, three flying knives had already pierced deeply into the man's body.

One of them hit the heart.

Just as this man, with his eyes wide open, was retreating frantically, forcing the muscles and skin around his heart to contract in an effort to save his life, another flying knife came silently and pierced into his forehead.

The next moment, the man fell to the ground with a bang.

It’s a long story, but from the first person shouting “Be careful of hidden weapons” to the time when most of the team was killed and only two people successfully escaped from danger, all happened in a very short period of time.

Several walls away, a strong man among the black-robed guards who had rushed to provide assistance upon hearing the noise had just arrived at the scene.

The two people who escaped saw several companions coming to help, and finally began to breathe heavily.

It didn't actually take too long from the time a group of their companions rushed towards Geng Xuan to the time when only the two of them were able to see the other companions alive. They didn't even have a real collision with Geng Xuan.

But at this moment, both of them felt exhausted.

This brief experience was the most terrifying one in their lives.

They were eager to share their life experiences with several people, including the scarred man.

"His flying knife is very, very terrifying!"

"Can't stop it, can't defend it!"

"Don't think about relying on the defensive power of refined skin and refined flesh to resist. It's completely useless and will only lead to your own death!"

"His pace is also very terrifying, and he always manages to dodge at the critical moment!"

"This is a trap he set on purpose!"

"Don't look at his hands!"

"Don't try to predict his flying knife attack by the movements of his hands and arms. If you feel you have gained something, it could only be a deadly trap!"

"He may throw the flying knife at any time and in any state!"

"Don't think you're safe just because he's running with his back turned!"

"don't want……"

"don't want……"

Listening to the two survivors sharing their experiences like pouring out beans, the other people's faces became more and more ugly.

Just when they were at a loss as to how to deal with this terrifying hidden weapon master, the sounds of roaring and fighting came from across the walls.

The scarred man finally shouted, "Everyone below the Blood Refining Realm, leave! Everyone, leave!"

After saying that, he immediately leaped onto the courtyard wall and quickly approached the location where the noise came from.

The others also had tacit understanding and either jumped onto the courtyard wall, leaped onto the roof, or ran quickly on the ground.

As they advanced together, they formed a three-dimensional formation with staggered heights and taking both left and right into consideration, which was convenient for both attack and reconnaissance and vigilance.

As long as the other party is still a human being and cannot hide in plain sight, he will be discovered by them at the first sight no matter which direction he approaches from.

But when they arrived at the place where the noise came from, they found nothing else except the three still warm bodies of their companions.

They quickly searched the area again, but found no living people except for corpses lying everywhere.

Not only did the terrifying hidden weapon master disappear, but even the twenty or so martial arts disciples who they had seen hiding in the area from afar were nowhere to be seen.

Faced with such a result, several people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Where have everyone gone?"

"Are they all gone?"

"..."

Several people guessed the answer, but faced with this fact, they found it difficult to accept emotionally and felt empty.

So many companions died here.

Nothing was gained.

Even if I can just catch a small shrimp in the Skin Refining Realm to vent my anger, it would be good.

Now they just felt that all these companions had died in vain.

A worthless and meaningless death.

"What should we do next?" one of them asked.

Except for a few of them, the rest of their companions either died or retreated under their orders.

Now, there are only a few of them left.

Several people looked into the distance, not knowing if it was an illusion, they were obviously closer to the place where Master Peng and Master Duan were fighting, but the momentum of their battle seemed to have become much smaller.

At this moment, they heard Master Peng, who had been roaring and cursing from time to time, suddenly let out a roar that seemed to be in extreme pain.

Accompanied by an extremely hateful curse:

"Duan Tianpeng, you despicable villain!"

Hearing this voice, the morale of the few people who had been almost completely destroyed by the flying knives seemed to be comforted.

In any case, there was no problem on the most important battlefield.

Based on their understanding of Mr. Duan, the situation that follows will be completely controlled by him and will end quickly.

As long as Duan Zuoguan wins, that villain hiding in the dark and throwing flying knives will not be able to change anything no matter how hard he tries.

The martial arts school will surely be destroyed.

Well done, Boss Duan!

But at this moment, another roar came from afar.

This time, the roar did not come from Master Peng, but from Master Duan.

"You bastard, you actually dare to put poison on the knife? Unfortunately, your thing is too bad and can't hurt me!" Several people were stunned at first and looked at each other.

They both understood the meaning from each other's eyes.

The hidden weapon master who had been dealing with them before had indeed left and gone to another more dangerous battlefield.

So, what should they do now?
Do you want to rush over?
With that person's ability, he could definitely make the two Marrow Refining Realm masters madly dizzy by taking advantage of the chaos caused by the fight between them.

For this person, the more chaotic the situation, the better it is.

But for them, the situation is just the opposite.

The more chaos there is, the greater the danger they are in.

But if they don't go over and just watch from afar, they will definitely suffer the consequences later!
Just when they were hesitating and didn't know how to make a decision.

The series of changes that followed helped them make the decision.

They no longer have to hesitate and struggle about what to choose.

Shortly after Master Duan roared in anger because he was poisoned, he roared again.

This time, the roar was filled with strong emotions.

Just by listening to the voice, you can imagine how furious he is.

"Mr. Peng, you are looking for death!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of fists hitting flesh.

Amid the bombardment, they heard the pleased voice of Master Peng:
“Duan, haven’t you always looked down on me? How do you feel now?…Junior brother, just go ahead and don’t worry about me, hahahaha…”

"Crazy, bang... Crazy, bang... Let go, bang... Let go, bang... You fucking let go, bang..."

It seemed that Master Duan's defense was completely broken. Every curse he uttered was followed by a loud punch.

Or it could be the other way around, every punch is accompanied by curses.

Both the curses and the roar of fists were rapidly weakening at a noticeable speed.

Until there was no more sound.

Such a change chilled the hearts of those who were still hesitating and struggling over whether to rush over to provide support.

Looking at each other.

And the next moment, they suddenly saw a figure rushing out of the building with a body that looked like rags and rotten flesh in his hands.

Almost at the same time, they saw two figures rushing towards the place where Peng and Duan had their last battle.

The two figures approaching quickly were a man and a woman.

The man was none other than Mr. Fan, the master of Kangleji.

However, the one whose speed was just as fast as his and whose momentum was no less than his was a plain-looking middle-aged woman.

The two men chased each other, and just as they saw from afar the gate where Peng and Duan had their last battle.

The figure holding a tattered body in his hand just rushed out from inside.

The already extremely fast speed of Master Fan and the middle-aged woman increased even more. Master Fan seemed to want to attack, but soon a side collision from the woman next to him forced him to change his forward move to a side push to neutralize the woman's collision.

The woman sped up, trying to take the opportunity to overtake, but was interrupted by a kick from Master Fan that was as heavy as a hammer or axe.

The two men tripped each other, and when they arrived at the gate, Geng Xuan, holding Master Peng's body which was almost broken into a pile of rotten meat, had rushed into a stone pavilion not far from the gate.

He kicked the stone table in the center of the pavilion away, revealing a dark hole underneath.

The next moment, he jumped down without any hesitation.

When Master Fan arrived in the stone pavilion and looked down at the center of the pavilion, he saw a deep hole like a well mouth where the stone table was originally placed.

The deeper you go, the darker it gets, and you can't see the bottom at all.

He stared at the hole with his head down, motionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The middle-aged woman next to him "suggested":

"Why don't you jump down and give it a try? I won't stop you this time."

Master Fan treated this as nonsense, snorted coldly, and turned to walk towards the gate.

Soon, he stepped into the gate, and in the chaos, he quickly found the core of the battlefield.

Before he got completely close, he suddenly stopped.

Because he saw it.

A headless corpse was standing there steadily, with the part below the knees deeply embedded in the ground.

It looks like a tree stump left after logging. Although the tree is gone, the stump is still firmly rooted in the ground.

However, the "tree stump" in front of me looks a little too creepy.

Master Fan was no stranger to this headless corpse.

He didn't even need to look at the face of the short and stocky figure to know that this was his most loyal companion.

once.

He stood there motionless, as if he had been staring at the headless corpse for a long time, or as if he was just in a daze.

When he started moving again, he circled around the body.

Finally, he found a round head in a bush dozens of steps away from the headless corpse.

It's not any other one. Judging from the facial features, it's the one that belongs to Master Duan.

The broken part where it was originally connected to the neck was covered with a lot of dirt.

He bent down and gently picked up the head, clearing the blood and mud from the broken parts. He then returned the ball-like head to the headless corpse and gently placed it on top.

It was a little tilted when he put it down, so he held the head and gently adjusted it, so that the severed head and the headless corpse could be put together perfectly.

If you ignore the obvious blood lines at the broken parts, it can almost be seen as a complete body.

His eyes were wide open, he looked awe-inspiring and very alive.

After doing all this, Master Fan seemed to have just remembered to talk to the woman who had been sticking to him all the way.

But she no longer stuck to him, but instead stayed far away from the door.

She didn't stop and continued to walk away.

"Mr. Fan, I won't ask about the dispute between you and Peng Shun.

He is the one who runs the martial arts school, and every choice he makes is his own.

In this case, he must be prepared to face all the consequences.

If he died, he deserved it.

But you can't vent your anger on the martial arts school. If you continue to make things difficult for the martial arts school, I will fight you to the death!

...Don't say harsh words to me. I know your foundation and support are in Yuanjing.

I'm leaving Concord now.

You'd better pray that the martial arts school is safe, otherwise, I will definitely find a way to retaliate against you."

After saying this last sentence, the woman said nothing more, and her figure disappeared completely, without any trace left.

Master Fan looked at the direction where she disappeared into the distance, his face livid.

……

Let’s move forward a little in time.

While the scarred man was still looking for his trace and discussing how to deal with his deadly flying knife, Geng Xuan had already left the area.

Silently sneak into the place where Master Peng and Master Duan are fighting.

Before finding the two of them, Geng Xuan first spotted three disciples from the martial arts school.

One of them was a corpse that looked horrible.

The head was cracked and exploded by a force that far exceeded its defense.

The part above the neck is completely unrecognizable.

This was the first time Geng Xuan had seen such an explosive cause of death.

In comparison, the situation of the other two was much better.

One of them had his legs shattered - completely pulverized and broken.

The other one had an obvious dent on the right shoulder, which showed at first glance that it had been hammered down by a huge force.

In other words, the hammer was slightly off, otherwise, it would have been another standard headshot.

——It's like smashing a head directly.

Geng Xuan was not unfamiliar with these two people. He had even had drinks with them at the banquet held to welcome him as a newcomer last night.

I think that corpse with its head blown off and face disfigured had once had a drink with him.

After walking forward for a distance, he finally saw the figures of Master Peng and Master Duan fighting.

Just when he was about to observe carefully and figure out the fighting patterns of the two men so that he could make a more correct response.

Then, Master Peng flew high into the sky, cursing with extreme hatred:

"Duan Tianpeng, you despicable villain!"
