Helan Minzhi and members of the Fire Phoenix Club heard the noise and hurriedly blocked the entrance to the mountain. The two sides first fired arrows at each other from a distance. After the arrows were fired, they exchanged hands and fought in one place.
The members of the Fire Phoenix Club around Helan Minzhi were not elite. Facing several times more enemies, they quickly became unable to resist and were breached.
After fighting for a while, there were fewer and fewer people on He Lanmin's side.
At this moment, a loud arrow suddenly rose in the sky in the distance. A member of the Fire Phoenix Society said with great joy: "The response person is here." He also shot a loud arrow.
Bai County Lieutenant exclaimed: "Wang Zhuan, they have reinforcements coming, what should we do?"
Wang Bo said loudly: "Destroy the enemy in front of you first."
Lieutenant Bai County responded, picked up another knife from the ground, danced wildly with both swords, and hacked three members of the Fire Phoenix Society to death one after another.
In an instant, only two people were left beside He Lan Minzhi, and Lieutenant Bai County rushed towards the three of them.
Helan Minzi was very skilled in martial arts and stepped forward to resist Bai County Lieutenant. However, the other two were quickly killed by the police officers, who surrounded Helan Minzi from all directions.
He Lan Minzhi was about to be captured when suddenly, a green shadow rushed towards him in the distance.
Several detectives tried to step forward to stop him, but fell to the ground in an instant, and everyone's head was separated from their neck.
Wang Bo looked at the visitor and saw a tall man in green robes holding double hooks.
The hook he used was different from others, the tip was as sharp as a razor, and it was dripping with blood.
After the man killed several more policemen, he came to He Lan Minzhi. Bai County Lieutenant stepped forward to stop him, but he hooked and picked him up, and Bai County Lieutenant's knife flew into the air.
Then another hook hit Bai Xianwei's neck. Bai Xianwei pulled away and flew back, but still too slowly, and a wound was made on his arm.
"Who are you, who dare to obstruct the official's handling of the case?" Bai County Lieutenant said angrily.
The man in green robe sneered: "You have killed so many of my brothers in the Fire Phoenix Club, and you still dare to ask me who I am?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was movement from the mountainside.
Lieutenant Bai Xian, Wang Bo and others all looked down the mountain. They saw a group of people on the mountainside walking towards the top of the mountain.
The person walking at the front was a man in black. Next to the man, there was a big man in Ge Yi.
The man was about forty years old. He had a cross wound on the left side of his face and a fork-shaped wound on his right face. The appearance was very scary.
The wounds on his body were so iconic that Lieutenant Bai immediately recognized his identity and shouted, "Are you Tu Hong?" His legs went weak and he almost collapsed on the ground.
Wang Bo was also slightly shocked when he heard Tu Hong's name.
This man was the most ferocious bandit in Shu. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, most of the bandits were wiped out, and the few bandits that were scattered were insignificant, numbering only a few hundred at most.
This Tu Hong was different. It was based on Longxing Mountain, a famous and dangerous place in Shu. He gathered more than a thousand people. The local officers and soldiers failed to exterminate him many times. Instead, he killed countless officers and soldiers.
Later, when the imperial army came to annihilate him, he broke into pieces and asked his men to hide in the mountains. After the army left, he swaggered out and occupied the mountain as king.
In just over ten years, his notoriety and wanted order spread throughout the country from Shu, even alarming Emperor Li Zhi.
Later, Zhuge Sanyuan of Dali Temple received the imperial edict and personally led a large number of Dali Temple masters into Shu to cooperate with the local government to encircle and suppress him. After three months of pursuit in the deep mountains, he finally wiped out this group of bandits.
However, Tu Hong escaped Zhuge Sanyuan's pursuit, and although he disappeared from sight, many people already regarded him as the number one bandit in the world.
Tu Hong's eyes flashed with cruel light, he licked his lips and said, "I haven't been out for a few years, but you court eagles still remember my name."
The man in black said: "Master Tuzhai, let's stop talking nonsense with them and deal with them quickly."
Tu Hong rolled his eyes and said: "Guan Ningyue, I hate others teaching me how to do things. Did Chen Shuo really not tell you this? Besides, I am here to help you deal with Di Renjie. Don't ask me for anything else."
"
The man in black was slightly annoyed, but he was afraid of Tu Hong's martial arts and the people behind him, so he didn't get angry. He said to the man in green: "Deputy Hall Master Yin, take action."
The man in green robe responded and led the people from the Fire Phoenix Society to surround Wang Bo and others. The man in black led people to Helan Minzhi and said respectfully: "Master Helan is frightened."
Hearing the words "Master Helan", Tu Hong's expression suddenly changed as he was folding his arms and preparing to watch the show.
He Lanmin said: "No, you came in time, I will let him reward you."
"Thank you, sir."
Tu Hong suddenly smiled and said: "Master Guan, I wonder who this Young Master Helan is. Can you introduce him to me?"
Guan Ningyue frowned and said: "Brother Tu, why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, I'm just surprised that you didn't catch Di Renjie, but suddenly came to save this pretty boy on the way, so I'm more curious about his identity." Tu Hong waved his hand.
Helan Minzhi's expression changed slightly. If it had been before, he would have already had an attack. However, after experiencing this for six months, he had already learned to restrain himself.
Not far away, Deputy Hall Master Yin, who was about to attack Wang Bo and others, said displeasedly: "Brother Tu, this Young Master Helan is an important friend of our Fire Phoenix Society. Please be careful with your words!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Hong swung around, came to Deputy Hall Master Yin, and punched him on the right shoulder.
Deputy Hall Master Yin was shocked and angry. He stretched out his right hook to meet his fist, and swung his left hook towards his throat.
Tu Hong drew back his left hand, and his right arm suddenly shot up, hitting Deputy Hall Master Yin hard on the shoulder.
The moment Deputy Hall Master Yin was hit, he leaned back and lost half of the force, but the remaining half of the force still knocked him back seven or eight steps, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it, do you deserve to be my brother?" Tu Hong said angrily.
Guan Ningyue said coldly: "Tu Hong, are you here to help us, or are you here to cause trouble for us?"
Tu Hong grinned and said: "I was just ordered to kill Di Renjie. I don't have to cooperate with you. If you make me angry, I will kill you too!"
Guan Ningyue was furious, and slowly took out two short spears, staring at Tu Hong with a murderous look on her face.
While they were fighting among themselves, Wang Bo whispered to Bai County Lieutenant: "Bai County Lieutenant, ask your men to stand in two rows at the front and back to form a 'number formation' to face the enemy."
Bai County Lieutenant was at a loss for words at the moment, so he obeyed his orders and immediately followed them.
The detectives had just formed their formation when Guan Ningyue's figure flashed and rushed towards Tu Hong. Tu Hong drew out the large ring knife he was carrying on his back and faced Guan Ningyue.
Guan Ningyue's sword moves lightly, shining like a rainbow, and in and out, it is elegant and dignified. The moves of Tu Hong look very dull, with a knife in the east and a knife in the west, which seems to be out of order.
But when Deputy Hall Master Yin saw him, he was frightened and anxious. Unknowingly, Guan Ningyue was already at a disadvantage.
His eyesight was insufficient and he could not see that Tu Hong's martial arts had reached the level of skill and clumsiness. Seeing that Guan Ningyue was at a disadvantage, he immediately raised his hook to help fight.
The two of them were fighting Tu Hong. During the fierce fight, Guan Ningyue suddenly saw Wang Bo not far away staring at this side with stern eyes. She screamed inwardly and almost had Tu Hong, a lunatic, ruin everything.
"Brother Tu, please stop."
Guan Ningyue shouted and exited the battle circle. As soon as he stood still, he saw a member of the Fire Phoenix Club rushing toward him like lightning.
Guan Ningyue only saw a flash of cold light, her body instinctively stepped back, and at the same time she stretched out a hand to block her body, and a sharp pain came from her hand.
"ah!"
With a shrill roar, Guan Ningyue's entire left hand was cut off by the man.
In the distance, Tu Hong and Deputy Hall Master Yin had already given up. Seeing that Guan Ningyue had been severely injured, Tu Hong was secretly on guard. Deputy Hall Master Yin's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.
After the Fire Phoenix Society member succeeded in striking, he ran towards Deputy Hall Master Yin without stopping. Vice Hall Master Yin's reaction was slower than Guan Ningyue's. Although he also pulled away and flew back, his neck was already shrouded in cold light.
At the critical moment, he slashed at Tu Hong with a diagonal stab, but it was Tu Hong who came to the rescue. The members of the Fire Phoenix Club changed their sword strength and slashed towards Tu Hong.
After the two swords struck each other, the two of them retreated. Tu Hong laughed and said: "Good work. Who are you? Tell me your name!"
The member of the Fire Phoenix Club removed his disguise, revealing a stern face, and said calmly: "I am the Di Renjie you want to kill."
Tu Hong raised his head and smiled: "Guan Ningyue, your Fire Phoenix Society is really embarrassed. You were stalked by the target without knowing it. I won't play with you anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly came to He Lan Minzhi's side, grabbed him, and rushed down the mountain.
He Lan Minzhi originally had some martial arts skills, but he was like a baby in front of him, with no resistance. He only had time to shout: "Master Guan, tell King Langya..."
Before he finished speaking, the figure disappeared into the mountain road.
