The sun is sinking in the west mountain, and the cool night breeze is blowing up a few dead leaves on the old street.
A string of lanterns outside the inn emitted a dim yellow light, illuminating more than ten feet in front of the door.
Ye Jingtang was dressed in a black official uniform, with his long hair tied up with a black hairband, and a knife hanging from his waist, looking at the second floor of the restaurant not far away.
Xuanyuan Hongzhi stood at the window with a black scarf on his face. Because his arms were injured and his combat power was not at full strength, he did not jump down directly, but looked down at the surrounded Night Terror Hall.
The remaining four people surrounded were also dressed with their heads and faces covered. In addition to Yao Wenzhong, Fan Baye, Han Shaoping, and a Zezhou swordsman who had just arrived.
Although time was short and the remaining two people did not have time to rush to Wanshui Town, the two top masters including Yao Wenzhong, plus three experienced martial artists, would kill anyone at will as long as they did not encounter Wu Kui.
.
Seeing that Ye Jingtang went to the meeting alone and was already in a narrow escape situation, Xuanyuan Hongzhi flashed a sneer in his eyes and sarcastically said:
"Night Terror Hall, today I want to see where you can hope to escape today!"
Ye Jingtang looked around the old street with a lukewarm expression and responded:
"If I remember correctly, it was you two losers who escaped first yesterday. I didn't even get enough of it, so where else can I escape?"
Yao Wenzhong was able to throw the knife yesterday entirely because his teammates sent weapons to his opponents. Hearing this, he responded:
"If you and I fight alone, you will definitely lose. Sometimes there are more people, but it does not necessarily mean that we are powerful."
Although Ye Jingtang heard that Yao Wenzhong was implying that Xuanyuan Hongzhi was holding him back, he still felt that Yao Wenzhong understood the situation and said:
"How about I give you a chance to have a good fight with me and lose clearly?"
"snort."
Yao Wenzhong obviously thought that Ye Jingtang was playing a trick to avoid being surrounded, so he didn't appreciate it, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Han Shaoping and Fan Baye faced each other with their backs facing each other. When they saw two women in the distance, they took out their weapons from the sides of their horses and were about to use them. They said:
"These two lackeys don't look like they are mediocre, they will be defeated quickly."
After all, there were some people in the town who took too long to be identified by Jianghu people. Even if Fan Baye and others were the backers, it was hard to explain. Seeing this, Yao Wenzhong winked at Fan Baye who was behind him.
Fan Baye held his spear horizontally, paying attention to Ye Jingtang's back, and out of the corner of his eye glanced at the horse that was quite far away - the Junshan knife and spear wrapped in black cloth were hung on the side of the horse, and he didn't bring any heavy weapons with him.
Ye Jingtang only had a single sword with him. Faced with the encirclement of five people, he didn't even have the chance to fight back. If a fight broke out, he would definitely find a way to get the spear as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Fan Baye moved sideways and stood between the Night Terror Hall and the horses, then pointed his gun forward and stepped forward slowly.
Tread...
At the window on the second floor, the masked swordsman also slowly drew out his three-foot green sword, getting ready to attack.
Cha~~
The two men's move was to attract Ye Jingtang's attention and force their position so that Ye Jingtang would have to distract his attention behind and above him, thereby creating an opportunity for Yao Wenzhong to kill with one strike.
But what surprised no one present was that Ye Jingtang had his back to the inn door and his side facing Yao Wenzhong and Fan Baye. His whole body was like a sculpture. There were no body movements, and even his breath did not change. He seemed not to be at all ready for battle.
state.
Fan Baye gradually moved to a distance of three feet, which was almost face-to-face distance for top experts. Seeing that Ye Jingtang had not yet taken up his stance, his eyes were slightly cold and his hands were shaking violently.
Snapped--
An explosion came out of thin air in the dead street.
The flaming red spear tassel was flying in the air, the pewter rod more than ten feet long was shaking violently, and the sharp spear tip had arrived at the side of Night Terror Hall from three feet away almost in an instant.
This ingenious and unworkable thrust was just a feint to test. Although it had no skill or flaw, it aimed directly at the side of Ye Jingtang's face.
Facing this inevitable shot, Ye Jingtang could only react by drawing his sword to block the gun point, or ducking and moving.
Everyone present can deduce the path of breaking the move, and can naturally respond accordingly.
Boom——
The moment Fan Baye's gun point approached, Yao Wenzhong raised his hand to grasp the handle of the knife with the force of thunder, bowed his back and flicked the knife with a loud roar. The black cloth wrapped in the Junshan knife behind him instantly fell into pieces, and he slashed Huashan with all his strength.
Split forward.
Suddenly flying across the old street, swords and guns almost simultaneously hit the Night Terror Hall in the middle. The black-clothed swordsman on the second floor also jumped out at the same time, locking the Night Terror Hall and jumping into the air as the only escape route.
This cooperation is perfect. As long as the opponent's martial arts follows common sense, there is no possibility of resolving it. Even if he is lucky enough to survive this wave of offensive, he will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Xuanyuan Hongzhi, who was behind the black-clothed swordsman, had secretly exerted his strength, hoping to wait for Ye Jingtang to break through with heavy damage and sacrifice his life with a last-ditch attack to completely eliminate this henchman.
But as soon as Xuanyuan Hongzhi raised his hand, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the coldness in his eyes instantly turned into astonishment!
Swords and guns were approaching in the blink of an eye, but Ye Jingtang still didn't react. He was as slow as an ordinary passerby with basic kung fu skills.
But at the moment when Fan Baye's eyes showed the contempt of "nothing more than that", a flash of white frost suddenly flashed across the old street.
Choking——
The five people surrounding them didn't even see the action clearly. Fan Baye's spear thrust out with all his strength came to an abrupt stop right before Ye Jingtang's side face!
Fan Baye didn't even see clearly how Ye Jingtang took action. The gun in his hand stopped suddenly, and he realized something was wrong. Then he was shocked to find that the official in black who was very close at hand raised his right hand at some point and lightly held the gun barrel.
The gun was like being nailed into iron stone instantly. No matter how hard he exerted force, it was difficult for the gun head to shake even half an inch.
Yao Wenzhong stood up and slashed with all his strength with his sword. Just as he was about to land on the left side of Ye Jingtang's face, the Chilonghuan sword at Ye Jingtang's waist unsheathed it at an alarming speed and stopped him in front of the heavy sword.
The sword was so fast that it was unbelievable that Yao Wenzhong, who was the master of swordsmanship, had a daze in his eyes.
After all, Yao Wenzhong had never met Kuangyazi, and apart from Kuangyazi, there was no other person since the founding of the Wei Dynasty who could draw a sword so fast.
The crisp sound of the sword was like the roar of a dragon in the sky, and the three-foot blade almost turned into a ray of light. When he noticed the movement of Ye Jingtang's left hand, the Chilong Saber was already lying beside him, and it even waited for him for a moment.
Cha——
A harsh friction sound sounded, and sparks flew in the air.
Even though Yao Wenzhong felt that something was wrong and there was no room for maneuver with his heavy sword attack, he still tried his best to strike at the Chilong Saber with his sword, hoping to shake Ye Jingtang's lower body.
However, Ye Jingtang's blade was very skillful and he held it upside down and pointed it diagonally behind him, creating a huge angle.
The hundred-jin heavy knife fell on it. Although it relied on the huge inertia to tilt Ye Jingtang's body, it failed to injure him at all and almost instantly slid sideways behind Ye Jingtang.
Yao Wenzhong had already seen how Xuanyuan Hongzhi was defeated yesterday, and his heart was horrified. Before the heavy sword could slide completely away, he had already strode back to prevent Ye Jingtang from slashing his neck.
Ye Jingtang faced the joint attack of five people, but did not pursue Yao Wenzhong forcefully. When he blocked the dragon-slaying order with his left hand, he yanked the spear with his right hand.
Fan Baye sensed something was wrong when the tip of his gun was locked, but he did not directly abandon the gun and escape from the battle. Instead, he held the spear tightly to prevent Ye Jingtang from seizing the weapon. After all, his role was to give Yao Wenzhong the upper hand. If he abandoned the spear,
If you retreat, you will become a pig teammate passing out swords on the battlefield.
Fan Baye's idea was correct, but his experience in the world of martial arts became a life-threatening talisman.
Fan Baye only saw the two swords on the other side connecting with each other. Before he could see the details of the fight between the two, the spear in his hand felt an irresistible pulling force. His whole body was pulled forward and staggered, and then there was an explosion in front of him.
ring.
Boom——
Ye Jingtang yanked the spear and at the same time turned around and kicked to the side. His powerful and heavy right leg hit Fan Baye in the chest and abdomen.
Ye Jingtang's skill has greatly increased, but no one has practiced it. He doesn't know how powerful his explosive power is now. Therefore, he has no reservations about this move. The effect can no longer be described as "excessive force", it is completely lifted.
Hitting flies with heavy artillery.
Kicking out with all his strength, Ye Jingtang's right trouser leg and shoe exploded first under the terrifying force, and he kicked Fan Ba Ye directly in the chest with his bare foot.
Before Fan Baye could react, his chest instantly sunk, his back bulged, and then his robe exploded. His spine and flesh and blood internal organs were shattered, and a cloud of blood mist exploded behind him. The blood splashed directly to the ground ten feet away.
On Han Shaoping's back.
Because the speed and power were too exaggerated, causing the phenomenon of 'over-traveling', Fan Baye's body did not move at all.
Not only were the besiegers shocked at this scene, but Ye Jingtang himself was so disgusted that he quickly pulled back his right foot, which was bleeding, and stepped forward again.
Right above the old street, the black-clothed swordsman jumped out of the window. His original intention was to lock the escape route of the Night Terror Hall, but when he flew out, he was shocked to find that Fan Baye didn't even hold on when he came face to face, and was directly kicked to the chest.
Such appalling destructive power made the black-clothed swordsman feel horrified. He was helpless in mid-air and would definitely die when he landed. He could only throw a throwing knife in a desperate struggle.
Whispering rustling——
Han Shaoping, who was originally wary of the two followers, was spattered with blood. When he turned around, he saw blood mist flying behind him. At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw the swordsman in black about to collide with Ye Jingtang.
Han Shaoping was extremely experienced in combat. When he saw his teammates in a desperate situation, before he could react to the situation, he made the reaction that a top master should have. His body exploded instantly, and he raised his two swords and slashed at Ye Jingtang, trying to rescue the swordsman in black.
But Han Shaoping immediately regretted this decision!
Ye Jingtang originally wanted to intercept the black-clothed swordsman, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed Han Shaoping rushing towards him. He dodged without any pause and moved the sword from his left hand into his right hand.
Sa——
On the street, there was a shrill sound of breaking wind.
Ye Jingtang's figure moved sideways on the street, with a dazzling white light, and instantly passed Fan Baye, the swordsman in black, and flashed directly in front of Han Shaoping from near Yao Wenzhong.
When Han Shaoping saw this inhuman sight, he was so horrified that his liver and gallbladder were split apart. He immediately crossed his swords and struck at the approaching black figure.
As a result, when the blade was shot, there was no sense of force, and only a soft 'pop' sound was heard.
Ye Jingtang found that the energy in his body was too strong. He was afraid that he would hit the ground with too much force and make the people in the town sick, so he restrained his energy. The single sword in his hand was like a butterfly swimming among flowers, and he used absolute speed and precision to move through the gap between the two swords.
As soon as it passed through, it hit Han Shaoping's chest, and then his legs exerted force again.
Bang——
The old street bricks were shattered under heavy tread, leaving two semicircular pits.
Ye Jingtang's figure also turned an acute angle with Han Shaoping. It looked as if he had been split by Han Shaoping's double swords, shooting diagonally upwards, and in the blink of an eye he was behind the swordsman in black.
!!
The swordsman in black rushed out of the window and had not yet landed. The naked eye could only see a black shadow running around on the ground. When his eyes caught up with him, he was already in front of him.
The black-clothed swordsman's heart was filled with despair, but his warrior instinct was still there. As he was falling, the sword in his right hand hit his left forearm fiercely. The three-foot green blade was bent in the air, drawing a semicircle around his body. The tip of the sword was accurately pointed towards Ye Jingtang's heart.
Door.
The swordsman in black is from Zezhou, and his swordsmanship comes from Shuiyun Jiantan. With this sharp-angled return sword, his proficiency is not much worse than that of Zhou Huaili. The only shortcoming is that his skill is too weak.
Sa——
The figure flashed past from behind, and the sword edge did not pierce anything.
The swordsman in black wanted to make a second move, but found that the world began to rotate rapidly, and a headless corpse holding a sword could be seen falling from the mid-air, while Ye Jingtang did not look back and headed towards the entrance of the gambling house.
Yao Wenzhong.
Yao Wenzhong slashed the air with his sword, stepped back and turned around. When he turned back, he found that Ye Jingtang had kicked Fan Baye to death, and then charged back and forth, killing him in an instant.
three cannon fodder.
Yao Wenzhong had just fought against Ye Jingtang yesterday. When he saw this incredible scene, even though he was facing a disaster, his eyes still flashed with confusion. His first reaction was whether this black-clothed detective was a military commander in disguise.
"you……"
Yao Wenzhong wanted to ask, but his opponent obviously would not give him a chance.
Ye Jingtang's body was like a thunderous thunder, and he rushed back to Yao Wenzhong in an instant. He held a knife in both hands and stabbed forward, aiming at Yao Wenzhong's throat.
Ding--
Yao Wenzhong was much stronger than the three cannon fodders, and the power of the swords in his hands was accumulated to the extreme. Even though Ye Jingtang was incredibly fast, he still accurately stopped the Chilong Saber that was stabbing him.
If it were an ordinary opponent, this sword would be enough to knock off the opponent's weapon. If the opponent holds on to it, it can also miss the opponent's lower body.
But Ye Jingtang took a big step forward, and not only the speed of the sword increased dramatically, but also the speed of retracting the sword.
Yao Wenzhong struck the Chilong Saber hard, but before he could hit it hard, Ye Jingtang withdrew the sword at lightning speed, and then stabbed it again.
Sa——
The dragon-slaying order uses a sword weighing hundreds of kilograms. Its advantage is that it relies on unparalleled inertia to make the moves so powerful that it is impossible for ordinary people to catch them.
But the disadvantage is that 'inertia' is a double-edged sword. The opponent cannot catch it, and the swordsman himself cannot be as skillful as a light sword. Once the sword is swept, the sword must be swung around to turn it back.
If they were evenly matched and the Dragon Slaying Order could keep up, the opponent wouldn't dare take the risk of taking another blow and take advantage of the loopholes.
But Yao Wenzhong and Ye Jingtang were not far apart from each other in the first place. At this time, Ye Jingtang is no longer what it used to be. It is obviously more sophisticated than Yao Wenzhong. It still uses the eight-step mad sword that is "fast but never broken". In terms of absolute hard power,
In front of me, any move is nonsense.
Yao Wenzhong secretly thought that something was wrong when his sword failed, so he immediately gave up on continuing the sword's momentum, directly pulled the sword to stop, and held it horizontally in front of him to block.
But Ye Jingtang stabbed forward with all his strength with the knife in both hands, and the force was far greater than Yao Wenzhong imagined.
clang--
The Chilong Sword touched the blade of the Junshan Sword, and the vast energy exploded instantly.
The Junshan knife that Yao Wenzhong found temporarily was not as strong as his own sword. Although it blocked the Chilong knife that was stabbing him, Ye Jingtang's blade did not pause at all, and pierced through the thick blade in the blink of an eye.
The dazzling firelight and metal fragments, together with the bright long knife, penetrated into Yao Wenzhong's broad chest, and a bloody blade immediately appeared on the black cloak behind him...
