The thunder and lightning in the night sky lasted for more than an hour.
When a bolt of lightning that seemed to tear the world apart pierced the sky and illuminated the entire Jinling City, the torrential rain finally poured down.
"Damn, why is it raining?"
Ma Tianxiong stood in front of the main hall door, looking at the jade beads flowing from under the eaves and forming a curtain.
"When the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to kill people."
Ma Tianming sat on the Grand Master's chair in the middle, holding the Hongming knife box in his arms, closing his eyes and thinking: "Too heavy rain will not be conducive to the performance of swords and other ice blades, and will block the penetration of sword energy."
"Heavy rain will also wash away the breath of the enemy and leave traces of footsteps on the ground."
"If the opponent only comes to kill my whole Ma family and does not fight me head-on, the chance of winning will be greatly reduced."
In battles between the strongest, the outcome is often determined by just one move.
A truly top-level warrior takes into account all environmental factors around him before making a move.
This sudden heavy rain made Ma Tianming feel a little depressed, but his momentum was not reduced at all.
"Not fighting head-on, just to kill people?"
When this thought came to Ma Tianxiong's mind, he suddenly felt a chill running down his back, and then he couldn't help but shudder.
A supreme Grand Master killed thousands of members of the Ma family on a rainy night...
This picture has already appeared in his mind.
"Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have been so cruel and put Lu Fan, this evil beast, to death!"
"Otherwise, so many things wouldn't have happened during this period, my Ma family wouldn't have been in such chaos, and a person who can't even name him would have been forced into such a desperate situation!"
In anger, Ma Tianxiong's resentment towards Lu Fan surged crazily again.
He felt that if Lu Fan hadn't been causing trouble for the Ma family during this period, making the Ma family overwhelmed in all aspects, who in the world would have such courage to threaten to destroy the entire Ma family?
Even if there is, he can devote all his energy to dealing with the enemy, instead of sitting in this room like now, waiting for death!
"If I can kill that guy this time, I swear, I will cut Lu Fan, no, the woman next to him, and everyone who has anything to do with him into pieces! No one will be left alive!"
Ma Tianxiong swore secretly and was about to turn around and close the door.
"boom!"
The door was suddenly opened by a violent force, and then a wet figure rushed in!
"Buzz!"
The long knife of Ma Tianming's box made a bloodthirsty buzz.
However, when Ma Tianxiong saw clearly who the visitor was, his expression suddenly changed: "Ma Jiu, why is it you?"
But when he saw clearly under the light that the wet liquid on the person's body was not rain, but blood, his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly retreated towards the room, while whispering: "What's going on? The person is already here."
come yet?"
"Home, head of the family..."
The man named Ma Jiu's body, hair, and face were all covered in blood!
He lay on the ground, stretched out a hand towards Ma Tianxiong, struggled and shouted: "Paper, paper, paper..."
"Paper what?"
Ma Tianxiong asked in panic: "Do you want paper?"
"People, people..."
"boom!"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Jiu fell directly to the ground and died on the spot!
"died?"
Ma Tianxiong bent down, stretched out his hand to detect Ma Jiu's breath, then raised his head and said, "Brother, what should I do?"
Although Ma Jiu is not a master, he is only halfway to the peak of a master, and he will be guarding the gate tonight.
Even if he ran back like this, the fate of the other people guarding the door would not be much better.
"coming."
Ma Tianming suddenly opened his eyes, and pushed with both hands! The knife box in his hand suddenly flew out, and a figure appeared in front of the main hall door at this moment... "Poof!" It was like a sound like the window paper being punctured, which was unexpected.
Blood splashed everywhere, and pieces of flesh flew everywhere. Some of them were just a bunch of exploded butterflies, washed away by the heavy rain, falling to the ground, getting wet and broken.
"Yes, piece of paper?"
Ma Tianxiong stared blankly at those black butterflies, his whole body standing on the spot.
Chapter 1111 Xuanmen!
However, without giving him much time to react, another figure flashed out of the heavy rain, rushed into the main hall, and rushed towards him.
Ma Tianxiong instinctively raised his arm to push... He originally thought that he would be half-dead or half disabled under this blow, or at least lose an arm.
However, what surprised him was that when he pushed it out, it was as if he had pierced a thin layer of paper with his fingers. His right hand was hitting Heiying's chest, and he heard a "puff" sound.
A hole was directly punched in his chest, but the momentum of the black shadow did not slow down at all. It pushed against Ma Tianxiong's arm that passed through his chest, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of him.
"careful!"
A flash of surprise flashed in Ma Tianming's eyes.
While he was surprised by this man's terrifying pain tolerance, he was also deeply puzzled by his ability to attack Ma Tianxiong without any loss of momentum and movements even after being shot through the chest.
However, before he finished speaking, he had disappeared on the Taishi chair. The next second, he appeared in front of Ma Tianxiong. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it. With a look of shock, he directly tore off the black shadow's head, but that
The long knife held high in the air fell and struck Ma Tianxiong in the chest!
"Pfft!"
The sound of tearing cloth and flesh echoed in the main hall at the same time.
"ah!!!"
Ma Tianxiong screamed, raised his foot suddenly, and kicked the black figure.
"puff!"
But the next second, what shocked him and Ma Tianming was that Ma Tianxiong's kick did not kick away the black shadow that had severed its head. Instead, it fell directly into the black shadow's belly, the kind of thing that broke the window.
The feeling of paper arose in Ma Tianxiong's heart again.
"It's actually a paper man!"
Ma Tianming roared, his hands suddenly reached out and grabbed the two shoulders of the black shadow, and then pulled them to both sides!
"Tear!"
Papers are flying.
Seeing the pieces of paper fluttering and scattered in the air, Ma Tianming was stunned.
Chapter 1111 Xuanmen!
"Paper man? What Ma Jiu said was actually a paper man?"
His brain couldn't turn around for a while, and he even forgot about the pain in his chest. He just stared blankly at the pieces of paper scattered at his feet, feeling completely at a loss.
"The person controlling the paper man to commit murder is not a great master, but a Taoist practitioner!"
Ma Tianming's face was extremely embarrassed.
For warriors, even the most powerful warriors, there are three types of opponents they are most afraid of in life.
There are corpse exterminators in western Hunan and head-destroying masters in Southeast Asia. There is another one that is also praised by them as the most difficult enemy to deal with, which is Xuanmen!
Compared with the corpse king's toughness, the head-destroying master's weirdness and viciousness, and the countless changes in Xuanmen's people, but their astonishingly powerful methods, these are the characters they fear the most.
Ma Tianming once saw with his own eyes a grandmaster-level Xuanmen master who could easily suppress an ancient martial arts grandmaster who had ten strands of true energy condensed in his body just by crushing a piece of yellow talisman.
He would never forget the scene at that time, when he punched open the Grandmaster's chest and took out his heart, it was still beating alive...
From then on, he vowed never to provoke anyone from the Xuan Sect again, but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the enemy he was going to deal with tonight, who wanted to bloodbath the Ma family, turned out to be a famous Xuan master!
Ma Tianming was afraid.
This was the first time he felt scared after he gathered his martial arts heart and perfected the Hong Ming Sword Technique.
At this time, after hearing Ma Tianxiong's screams, Ma Yingfeng and others who had been hiding in the side room also hurriedly ran out to investigate the situation.
"Everyone go back."
Ma Tianming took a deep breath and glanced toward the door like lightning.
The rain is heavy!
Lightnings like silver snakes tore through the sky and illuminated the entire Jinling City.
And at the moment when the dark courtyard was illuminated by lightning, dense black figures were standing silently, like a group of paper figures used to commemorate the dead... silent and full of death.
"They are paper figures. These people are not alive, they are all paper figures!"
Ma Tianxiong's face turned pale. He had never seen such a battle before. Hundreds of living paper figures suddenly appeared in his house.
He even had reason to believe that the guards he had placed inside and outside the mansion were in danger at this moment, and the entire Ma family might have been lost.
As for people like Ma Yingfeng and Ma Wenyao, their faces are even more ugly than ghosts.
Even if they are a bit vicious, when have they ever seen such a scene?
Ma Yingfeng is well-informed in the Lu family and may be able to remain calm.
As for Ma Wenyao, his legs trembled for a moment, his crotch got wet, and a smell of urine instantly filled the entire main hall.
"You all stay in the house and don't go out."
"These are all methods used by Master Xuan to explore the path."
"Go ahead and ask everyone in the mansion to go out and look for anyone acting suspiciously inside and outside the mansion. If you find anything, report it directly to me. Don't take action without permission."
Ma Tianming looked extremely calm. After figuring out who the enemy he was facing was, he began to regain his strong posture and calmly thought about how to defeat the enemy.
The Hongming knife lies quietly in a knife box carved with simple patterns.
He casually pulled out an ordinary long knife hanging on the wall. The blade was sharp, and the knife was engraved with the totem of the mountain tiger. This knife was bought by Ma Tianxiong at an auction last month for a huge sum of money. It came from a knife-making company.
At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, it was usually hung in the main hall to ward off evil spirits. Today, Ma Tianming will use it to sweep away the invading areas and rectify the Ma family's affairs!
As if being inspired by the most powerful person, the simple Tang Dao made a trembling sound in Ma Tianming's hand.
A blade of grass can cut down the stars, the sun and the moon!
Although Ma Tianming has not yet reached the state where man and sword merge into one like Song Jianqiu, he has already touched the threshold of this state.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, the Tang sword flashed with light and followed its master into the rainy night.
At this moment.
In the backyard of Ma's house.
A figure quietly crossed the compound wall and fell quietly into the darkness.
Here, there are nearly a hundred disciples of the Ma Family's Longhu Hall lurking in ambush.
Chapter 1112 Wait!
They had just received an order and were sent out to look for traces of the strange figure.
The best killing technique of Xuanmen Taoists is to hide themselves in the dark and use the mysterious secret methods of Xuanmen. Even if they don't show their faces from beginning to end, they can still kill people invisible.
However, this will be limited by distance.
If a mysterious master wants to control so many paper figures to kill in the Ma family's mansion, his hiding place will never be too far away.
It can't be in the mansion either.
Since these people can't stop the invasion of the paper figures, it's better to send them all out and dig deep to find Master Xuan's whereabouts.
As long as he could locate their hiding place, Ma Tianming was confident that he could cut them in half from the center of his eyebrows with three swords and expose their bodies in the rainy night.
Lu Fanlai was in the backyard, looking at the scattered figures on guard duty. He did not take action, but stuck to the shadow in the corner and disappeared in an instant, sneaking towards the depths of the mansion.
According to Ma Zicong, the most heavily guarded place in the entire Ma family's mansion is the Materia Medica Garden, which is less than two courtyards away from the backyard.
That's the forbidden area of the entire Ma family's mansion.
Starting from the second house, there are law enforcement disciples from Longhu Hall patrolling and guarding it 24 hours a day.
Even Ma family disciples cannot get close.
Including housekeepers like Ma Wenyao are no exception.
When Lu Fan appeared in the shadow of the turret opposite, a burst of lightning tore through the rainy night and illuminated the Deshan Garden in front of him.
Densely packed patrolling figures suddenly flooded into sight.
"Two pseudo-grandmasters, one ancient martial arts grandmaster, more than a dozen half-step masters, half-step masters, and hundreds more..."
Lu Fan glanced at it and was secretly shocked.
Even at a special moment like tonight, the Ma family's defense of Baicao Garden has not weakened at all, but has actually strengthened a lot.
This is almost the strongest peak combat power that the Ma family can produce, and Ma Tianming is not too far away from here. With his strongest strength, no matter who breaks into this place, with the delay of three masters, it is enough
After hearing the news, he rushed there and killed the invading enemy.
Lu Fan did not act rashly, he quietly hid his breath, he was waiting.
"boom!"
A blade of light that was more dazzling than lightning cut through the dark courtyard.
After the last group of black men were cut into pieces, Ma Tianming stood aloofly in the courtyard under the heavy rain, holding a knife in one hand.
"I don't know who you are and where you come from!"
"But you were so indiscriminate tonight that you went on a killing spree at my Ma family's residence in the name of seeking the murderer."
"Do you dare to show up and confront me face to face?"
"If not, you are openly provoking our Ma family!"
"Today, I will definitely smash all your evil spells, and then I will find you out and kill you with my own hands. Even if I kill your master, I will seek justice for my Ma family!"
The furious roar shook the dark night sky.
Ma Tianming finally felt that just because of Ma Zeao's matter, the other party did not need to go to war so violently.
He said he wanted the Ma family to hand over the murderer, but he didn't give the Ma family any chance, so he mobilized troops and mobilized a large number of people to surround and kill the Ma family.
The intention to kill and exterminate the entire clan has become clear.
Although he is not afraid of these means, if there is a real misunderstanding in this matter, it should be resolved through meeting and negotiation, so as to prevent both parties from being ruined and suffering heavy losses in the end.
The roaring sound, which contained real energy, sounded like rolling thunder over and over again on a rainy night.
The sound was soon swallowed up by the pounding rain.
The sound of rushing water is like a waterfall, making the whole heaven and earth unable to tolerate any other sounds.
"Jiejie..."
Just when Ma Tianming was about to turn around and go back to the house, something like fingernails scratching metal, and a creepy sinister laughter suddenly sounded over the courtyard.
"come yet?"
Ma Tianxiong and others in the room felt a sudden surge of cold air on their backs!
They all stood up, walked to the door, and looked out the door nervously.
However, in the dark rainy night, only the majestic rainstorm and Ma Tianming's stern figure in the rain were seen, but no other suspicious persons were seen.
