The masked man definitely didn't come up the cliff from that path, because everyone's eyes were fixed on that path, and even a bird couldn't escape everyone's eyes if it wanted to fly up the cliff from that direction.
And where he was standing was right on the edge of the cliff. Could it be that he climbed up from the stone wall on the edge of the cliff?
However, this stone cliff is a hundred feet high, and the rock wall is straight and steep. Even a person with high qinggong skills will definitely find it difficult to climb up. This is why everyone had only monitored the path up the cliff before, and did not pay attention to other directions.
Hua Bushi was startled for a moment, then turned towards the masked man and said: "Sir, it was too hasty to submit a letter to make an appointment. I don't know martial arts, so I had to bring a few disciples with me. Please don't be offended, sir."
When he said this, he also meant to test.
Although it is unknown how the masked man came to the top of the cliff, if he had been on the cliff a long time ago, he should not have been able to escape the previous search. Therefore, Hua Bushi judged that this man should have just climbed up the cliff. If so, he would be very likely to
Maybe they only saw the people from the "Evil Dog Sect" standing in the open space, but they didn't notice Tang Zilin and the six masters who were ambushing around them.
Hua Bushi deliberately said "I can only take a few disciples with me" because he wanted to see from the other party's reaction whether he knew that everyone had set up an ambush here.
The masked man in black sneered and said: "Young Master Hua is also afraid of death? When you were trying to seize the treasure in Nan'ao town, you were very brave!"
Hua Bushi said: "I don't dare, sir, I've given you a reward."
Judging from the tone of the masked man's response, it seemed that he had not noticed the ambush around him. However, from this response, it was also clear that Hua Bushi had fully understood the matter of obtaining "Panlong Jue" in Nan'ao Town.
know.
Since he failed to discover the existence of Tang Zilin and others, he might be able to take advantage of this surprise attack and capture this person unexpectedly. However, the ambush of Tang Zilin and others was originally to ambush the person who came to the cliff from the path.
, so the hiding places were all on the side close to the intersection, but the masked man appeared in front of the cliff on the other side. To his surprise, he was more than ten feet away from where everyone was ambush.
If they wanted to raid this person, they would either have to sneak past Tang Zilin or the others, or let the masked man come over on his own.
Hua Bushi glanced at a big stone next to him as if inadvertently, which was where Tang Zilin was hiding. Tang Zilin pointed in the direction of the masked man, and then pointed down.
Shi Zi could understand the meaning of his gesture, which was to ask the young master to try to lure the masked man over.
The top of the cliff is quite empty. It is not easy to sneak past without being discovered. It would be a good idea if you can lure the opponent over.
At this time, the masked man in black seemed a little helpless and said: "No need to gossip anymore! Has Master Hua brought the treasure I want?"
Hua Bushi said: "Of course I brought it. But before that, you should tell me where is my wife now?"
The masked man in black said: "Come over here and hand over the treasure to me first, and I will let your lady go."
Hua Bushi put his palm into his arms, as if he was about to take out the treasure, but suddenly stopped and said: "If I'm not mistaken, what you are holding is the 'Mo Yang' sword, and Elder Yu of the 'Huashan Sect' is
Killed by you?"
The masked man in black said: "So what, Yu Jun is the one who deserves to die! You don't need to say anything, just get the treasure quickly!"
Hua Bushi said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency can kill Elder Yu. His sword skills are extremely high and his attacks are very vicious. If I go over and you take the treasure and kill me with one sword, no one can stop me. Isn’t it very dangerous?”
The masked man in black said: "As the young leader of a sect, you are so afraid of death! What do you want?"
Hua Bushi said: "How about I put the things here, step back ten feet, and you come and get them?"
The masked man in black stared at Hua Bushi's face, and after a moment he suddenly said: "Although I don't know what Master Hua wants to do, it's not that easy to lure me there! Just bring the things over here honestly. , otherwise we don’t need to talk anymore, you just wait to collect the body of Mrs. Hongzhu!"
This masked man turned out to be very shrewd. He seemed to have seen through Hua Bushi's plan and was completely unwilling to be fooled.
Hua Bushi said: "Then you must promise not to hurt me. And when you get the things, you must let my wife go immediately."
When the young master said this, he pretended to be frightened, but his eyes glanced at Tang Zilin who was hiding behind the stone. In this situation, it was impossible to lure the other party over. The only way was to sneak over and make a surprise attack. Tang Zilin Zi Lin naturally understood and nodded towards Hua Bu Shi.
The masked man in black said: "Bring the things here, I won't hurt you, nor will I kill your wife. No need to talk nonsense, come here quickly!"
Hua Bushi said: "Okay, I just hope you don't break your promise."
He stepped forward and walked towards the masked man. Bai Yiling, who was standing next to him, was about to follow him, but the man in black had already shouted: "Young Master Hua is the only one allowed to come here. No one else is allowed to move!"
Hua Bushi waved his hand to Bai Yiling, signaling her not to follow, but the corner of his eye glanced at the rock on one side and found that Tang Zilin was no longer behind the rock. He knew that he had sneaked away, and he must have been preparing to go around from the side. A sudden attack on the masked man in black standing on the edge of the cliff.
Although the six masters ambushing around were not weak in martial arts, they were still far behind Tang Zilin. Therefore, the Tang Sect deputy leader did not ask them to join him, but signaled them to stay where they were. Stand by and get up. If you don't have extreme lightness skills, you can easily be discovered by the masked man if you sneak up on your opponent in such an open place, which will ruin the whole thing.
At this time, Hua Bushi had slowly walked closer and stopped a few feet in front of the masked man in black.
He deliberately showed a very scared expression and said: "If you don't kill me, I will give you that treasure..."
When Hua Bushi said this, he saw Tang Zilin appearing on the edge of the cliff behind the masked man. He was only five or six feet away from the masked man. It turned out that he had made a big circle, and with the help of the cliff The edge blocked his figure, and he climbed over from the corner of the cliff. The deputy sect leader of the Tang Sect was so skilled in lightness that he didn't make a sound at all.
But at this moment, a dazzling electric light suddenly flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire cliff top. The masked man in black turned his eyes and saw Tang Zilin approaching him!
When a storm is approaching, it is not unusual for lightning and thunder to appear in the sky. If this lightning had appeared later or earlier, Tang Zilin would have been hiding under the cliff or had already launched a surprise attack, so it would not matter to the overall situation. But at this moment, it was Tang Zilin had just jumped up from the edge of the cliff, and before he could activate, the appearance of this lightning just exposed his body. It could not but be said to be extremely unlucky!
The masked man in black reacted very quickly. Almost at the same time he discovered Tang Zilin, he moved forward quickly and rushed to Hua Bushi's side. Tang Zilin did not hesitate, raised his right hand, and a cold light flashed,
Three bone-penetrating steel nails have been shot out of his hand and shot into the back of the man in black!
Although Hua Bushi had previously requested that Hai Hongzhu should be left alive before rescuing him, Tang Zilin showed no mercy when he used his hidden weapon at this time. He was obviously going to kill him with one strike!
First, because the masked man in black can kill Yu Jun, he must be a top master, and his martial arts may not be inferior to Tang Zilin. When these masters compete, they must attack with all their strength, and there is no room for hesitation. And the second reason is that
Killing this masked man would be beneficial to Tang Zilin.
Tang Zilin's purpose of helping Hua Bushi was simply because he needed Peng San's help to sail a huge ship to the sea. Therefore, for him, it was most important to resolve the matter as soon as possible and get back to the treasure ship in time. Of course it would be best to rescue Mrs. Hua, even if the hostages were captured.
Killing doesn't matter.
And the masked man in black clothes who claimed to have killed Yu Jun was undoubtedly Lu Qiuhong's man. Tang Zilin would rather kill than leave behind any trouble.
There was a look of fear on Hua Bushi's face, but this time he was not pretending, but real fear. Looking at Tang Zilin's momentum when he took action, Hua Bushi immediately understood that this Tang Sect member
The master's thinking was that the hidden weapon of "Sichuan Tangmen" was the most suitable means of surprise attack. Hua Bushi knew very well that in his opinion, it would be difficult for the masked man to escape if he was suddenly attacked.
And if the masked man in black is killed at this time, the Hai Hongzhu that falls into the opponent's hands may not escape death either and will be killed by the masked man's accomplices.
In the midst of lightning and flint, a masked man in black rushed in front of Hua Bushi, and Tang Zilin's three bone-penetrating nails had also been shot!
Hua Bushi felt his wrist tighten and was held by the masked man in black. He was involuntarily pulled diagonally for several steps. His feet were empty and he fell straight down! At the same time, only
He heard the sound of a sharp blade piercing the body, but it turned out that a steel nail had been hit in the masked man's left shoulder!
Since Tang Zilin had intended to kill someone, the position of the hidden weapon was originally planned, but the masked man pulled Hua Bushi and suddenly fell together. Only one bone-penetrating nail hit his left shoulder, but the other two were both
Report empty.
This place is still five or six feet away from the cliff. Hua Bushi and the masked man did not fall from the high cliff, but fell into a large hole that appeared at an unknown time. The two fell together and flew straight down.
After a long journey, there is reality below.
The masked man's light skill was not weak, and he was able to stand firm after just a moment's hesitation. However, Hua Bushi had already lost his balance and was at a loss. He screamed and crashed to the ground. The masked man in black stretched out his hand to support his waist.
, he immediately straightened Hua Bushi's body, and exerted force on his hands to stop his falling. If it weren't for the masked man's support, even if this young master who didn't know martial arts wouldn't have fallen from such a height,
If you fall to death, you will have to break a few bones.
Hua Bushi was still in shock, but he immediately understood in his mind that this big hole was actually a secret passage leading to the top of the cliff. The exit was at the position where the masked man was standing on the edge of the cliff. There must be a mechanism to open and close it.
Previously, the masked man in black did not climb up the cliff, but climbed up the cliff through this tunnel, so he suddenly appeared on the top of the cliff, surprising everyone.
Before the young master could stand firmly, a masked man in black grabbed his waist and flew out. After a few leaps, he was already several feet away, and there was only a "bang" in his ears.
There was a loud noise, but the entire tunnel entrance behind him had collapsed.
