So how did these six people come out? We have to go back a little bit.
Let’s talk about the last time Kang Haijiao left the ruined temple, Lao Zhao knew that something had happened tonight, but the information revealed by Kang Haijiao’s gestures and eyes was really limited, so Lao Zhao couldn’t tell what was going on.
In short, since Kang Haijiao has made it clear that he will come back in a while, then Lao Zhao will deal with it when he sees a move.
After a little thought, Lao Zhao took the four sword boxes back into the secret passage, and then he did not rush to come out again. Instead, he lay behind the door of the secret passage and peeked at the situation in the ruined temple through a hidden hole.
As a result, he had just settled down there, but before he could wait for Kang Haijiao, he waited for two other people - two masked men.
Of course, since the dilapidated temple was pitch black at this time, Lao Zhao, who was not covered in mask, could not see it, and the only thing that could be sure was that there were two footsteps.
When Lao Zhao heard the steps, he thought to himself: "Are these two people the one Kang Haijiao just suggested... who are following him?"
He was thinking about it, and he thought that the two outside had already searched in the dilapidated temple. Although Lao Zhao's ear skills were not very good, he could still hear the other party's movements in such a dark and quiet environment.
"There is nothing." After a moment, the masked man with a distinctive voice spoke.
"I didn't look for anything, either." Masked Man B responded quickly.
"I'm still late, I should have come in earlier, so maybe the person is still there." The masked man Jia said angrily.
"Hi! If I were as I said, we rushed in while Brother Jiao was talking to him just now, maybe we had already caught him." said the masked man Yi.
"Tsk... why are you so stupid?" said the masked man. "Didn't Brother Jiao say everything before the action? He doesn't know where the connector came from, and he doesn't know if the other party has any other helpers in secret. If we rushed in directly when they were connected, we might be attacked."
"Then..." The masked man Yi was scolded by Ju Meng, as if he was a little anxious, "What should I say about Sejima? Isn't Brother Jiao attracting his attention? Let's take action from behind and solve it for him?"
"Nonsense, can that be the same?" said the masked man, "Terajima was killed by Brother Jiao. We know that he must be alone, so how can he not succeed?"
"Well..." Masked Man Yi pondered, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise, "Hey? Do you think it was the scene that Brother Jiao just performed exposed?"
"Go away... I'm exposed, can we still have life now? I'm afraid we'll be cheated as soon as we step in." The masked man Jia continued with confidence, "Besides, I see that the 'joint' is not very smart either. Brother Jiao set up a maze for him and frightened him. He didn't even think about opening the sword box to confirm what's inside."
"Then why are others missing now?" asked again by masked man B.
"I guess... the 'joint man' is probably only one person, so he just saw Brother Jiao's hint and decided to transport the sword away first and come back later to meet Brother Jiao." The masked man said, "Hmph... Fortunately, Brother Jiao made a clever trick and played a trick of pretending to be something wrong. Otherwise, if we can lose it now, he will immediately light incense and the other party will definitely be suspicious..."
At this point, he paused, as if he had thought for a while, and then said, "This way... we are not busy, we should retreat first. Since we have basically confirmed that there is only one connector, then wait for Brother Jiao to come and catch him again. This time we will stay away. After all, Brother Jiao called each other just now. If the other party searched around first when he came back after putting the sword... We should go a little further to attract the snake out of the hole."
The masked man Yi said, "Then... we are far away, how can we do it later?"
"Are you stupid?" The masked man Jia cursed again, "With Brother Jiao's martial arts, he is still worried that he can't capture the other party alive? Let's wait until he sends a signal before coming over?"
"Oh...yes, it makes sense." Masked Man B said, and laughed, "Haha...then we two will be more relaxed." He paused for a moment and said again, "Hey, you said that if this matter is done today, the superiors will definitely not treat us badly, right?"
"Hey~ Look at your bear." The masked man A said in an impatient tone, "What are you thinking? If you really have a heavy reward, it is for Brother Jiao. After all,... the plan is decided by others, and the matter is done 90%. We are just fighting."
"Yes, yes... that's natural." said the masked man Yi, "What a person Brother Jiao is? Even the person surnamed Xiao was deceived by him. There is an undercover agent next to him but he doesn't know it. Haha... When the 'Gangmaster'''s hegemony is completed in the future, the position of Xiao may be our Brother Jiao, hehe... Maybe we will also benefit from it."
"Okay, okay... don't send your dream of spring and autumn. Let's do the things in front of you first. Let's go with me." Before the masked man Jia finished speaking, the footsteps of the two gradually drifted away, and they soon left the ruined temple.
At the same moment, the old Zhao, who was lying behind the secret door, was already in a cold sweat.
After the voices of the two men completely disappeared, Lao Zhao dared to turn around, come to the four sword boxes lightly, and open them one by one.
With the light of the fire note in his hand, Lao Zhao looked carefully... his scalp was numb.
Lao Zhao may not know other weapons, but he still knows Yasuhira Terashima's Japanese sword.
Terajima is a very unique person. Even these gangs of people know that Terajima will never hand over his Japanese sword to others. If you take a step back, it will be the same even if it is not Terajima, because for these Japanese warriors, the sword can be said to be part of their lives - people are in the sword, and life and death are inseparable.
At this moment, the Japanese sword from Terajima appeared here, with blood on the sword. The fate of Terajima is self-evident.
Lao Zhao and others didn't know that Terajima had a duel with Lin Yuancheng tonight, because Kang Haijiao and Terajima did not need to report to them in advance. They also learned afterwards that who died at Terajima was rumored and the sword they got.
Therefore, from Lao Zhao's perspective, the masters of the first three swords can match. All three of them are swordsmen who went away after duel with Terajima before, and later found a corpse in the wasteland. And the last one... combined with the conversation between the two just now, it was that Terajima, which had a slap tonight, had no more runaway.
Thinking about it this way, Kang Haijiao's "abnormality" not long ago was actually acting with him, and he could match it.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhao couldn't help but tremble in fear.
If you are afraid, you will be angry.
"Okay, Kang Haijiao, it turns out that you are the undercover agent sent by other gangs to Wujian Villa! You are hiding so deeply! You kid don't do it sooner or later, but you just kill Shidao when your sixteen swords mission is about to be completed, and you plan to capture our "joiner" alive... Humph! You are planning to "close the net" and reveal our plan in one fell swoop, right? How can I allow you to ruin the big affairs of our Lord Xiao!"
While thinking, Old Zhao had already run in the secret passage.
This secret passage leads to a dry well within the wall of Dengzhou City. Most of it is formed naturally, and only about one-tenth of the part (mainly the part of the ruined temple and the part connecting the dry well) is manually opened.
There is no doubt that the other five associates' residences are not far from the dry well, so there is nothing else... it is convenient to "go to work".
Lao Zhao took advantage of the night to climb out of the well and quickly woke up all his colleagues. When he was rushing back with the five people, he secretly told the "information" he had "eavesdropped" in his secret passage with emotion.
When the five people heard that they were so sure and detailed, and with the testimony of Terajima's Japanese sword, they would no longer question anything.
So, the scene of six of them ambushing Kang Haijiao in the ruined temple.
…………
Time returns to this moment...
Accompanied by the six people's shouts of killing, six swords, six sword styles... they had already come from around Kang Haijiao.
Although Kang Haijiao has high light skills, he is still difficult to deal with when he is suddenly attacked from six directions in this indoor environment.
In the lightning and fire, Kang Haijiao instinctively jumped forward, and used a move to "rabbit rise and falcon fall" to cross the air, drilling through the gap between the two swords, and then supported the ground with one hand, wanting to spin up and get up again.
But the opponent would not let him do what he wanted. Before Kang Haijiao could exert force his hand, another sword swept from the slant, and cut off a piece of flesh and blood from his forearm. If the sword tip went in a little more, it would be rubbed against the bone.
Kang Haijiao was in pain and was unable to match his strength, but he still forced himself to move, and then turned backwards, rushing towards the temple gate.
While running away, he shouted: "Stop! It's a misunderstanding, it's me, Kang Haijiao! His own people!"
However, the response to him was only a sneer and a sentence that no one said: "You are the one who killed!"
Kang Haijiao's mind was also confused. He could not think of what happened between the back and forth, and the situation in front of him could not help but distract him to think about what was there.
Unlike mercenaries like Kang Haijiao who temporarily incorporated "dirty work", the six joints were all direct descendants of Wujian Villa. Although the martial arts of these six were not as good as Kang Haijiao and Terajima, for Xiao Zhun, they were "his own people", which is why they could do intelligence work as "connectors", and the real dangers were done by Terajima and Kang Haijiao.
So what is the martial arts of these six people?
Let me put it this way: one-on-one is definitely not a match for Kang Haijiao; two-on-one is also slightly inferior; but if it is three-on-one... it means a qualitative change, Kang Haijiao can basically only escape.
When it comes to a six-on-one situation, and they have the first sneak attack, Kang Haijiao cannot escape without any effort.
It was time to say that, and Kang Haijiao's actions approaching the door had undoubtedly been predicted, so he had not yet stabilized after the previous move, and another sword came down three ways and swept his calves.
This sword only caused flesh and blood injuries, but it still caused Kang Haijiao to temporarily lose balance.
As Kang Haijiao staggered, the other five swords rushed forward and each made their own moves.
In a flash, his ribs, side abdomen, arms, shoulders and neck were all hanging on his colours. Some areas were covered with skin and flesh, and some areas had holes.
Kang Haijiao is not unfamiliar with the feeling of death approaching, which is very important - a person who has already walked through the gates of hell and who has never experienced the kind of despair of death, has a very different reaction when facing similar situations.
At this critical moment, Kang Haijiao reacted quickly. He first did not hesitate to overdraw all the internal forces that could be used at this moment. In conjunction with his innate mad force, he used an arm swing and fist to force the six people to retreat. He immediately closed the acupoints near the wounds on his torso, sank a mouthful of Dantian Qi down, and came to his feet along the meridians, stepped on his foot and exerted force, and then jumped up...
At that moment, he almost flew backwards from the temple gate in a "lying down" posture, and gradually adjusted his body in the air, so that his feet fell to the ground.
And how could the six sluts let Kang Haijiao run away, who was already at the end of his strength? Naturally, they all quickly chased out and forced him to kill him with a quick sword.
Kang Haijiao gritted his teeth, twisted his body and turned it back desperately, and ran away, but before he started to take action, he was hit again, and three more swords were killed on his back, and then he ran away.
"Chasing! He can't run far!"
This judgment is very correct. With Kang Haijiao's current injury, it is impossible to run as fast as he usually has, nor can he run for too long... Even if he can distance himself from the pursuers within a certain period of time, the blood stains he left along the way will eventually attract the other party.
In this way, in this darkest moment before sunrise.
On this wilderness, one person ran and six people chased.
There are not many choices left for Kang Haijiao, and there is not much time for him to choose. To put it simply... it is nothing more than the four words "survival in death".
Eventually, his blood was found to disappear from the edge of a large river with rapid water flowing.
The people at the joint did not give up easily. After sunrise, they divided into two groups, one by one, one by one, and went to the other side of the river to investigate, while the other was tracking downstream along the river.
The two teams searched for the whole day with the mentality of living and dying and corpses, but they found nothing.
When it reaches this point, it doesn’t make much sense to continue looking for it. After all, the river is finally connected to the sea...
Considering Kang Haijiao's injuries, they all decided that Kang Haijiao's corpse had already flowed into the sea to feed the fish.
Later, when they were delivering swords to Xiao Zhun, they also reported according to this conclusion, so even the owner of the village was deceived into it...
Xiao Zhun didn't know from beginning to end that there were Sun Yixie and Lin Yuancheng in the incident that night. He thought Kang Haijiao was really the undercover agent sent by a certain "gang leader".
What's even more amazing is that after that, Xiao Zhun came to the conclusion that "Kang Haijiao was from the Cao Gang" through various information and reasoning and analyzing it.
Think about it... Kang Haijiao had been with Cao Gang in the past. Later, he pulled his brothers away from Cao Gang for several years and was silent for a while. When he left the world again, he turned into a martial arts all over his body... Isn't this a bit strange?
So can we think that the behavior of his decision to leave the Cao Gang was the same as Chen Yongren leaving the police academy to be a gangster?
In addition, everyone knows that the Cao Gang is now in great power, and Di Buyi is also ambitious. In addition, Di often engages in despised activities, such as finding someone to sneak attack competitors... So he is also very consistent with the character of "Gang Leader" who can put undercover everywhere.
To sum up, it is not outrageous that Xiao Zhun will come up with this answer.
Even Sun Yixie, the initiator of all this, did not expect that a line he wrote out tonight would become the fuse that would affect the future fate of the two tycoons in the martial arts world.
Chapter completed!
