At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the ship's deck outside the door. It seemed that someone had gone down to the cabin, and the sound seemed to be two people, and the cabin door was knocked again.
Li Hu asked: "Who?"
"Butler Hu asked the younger one to come down and ask the two of you to go to the top cabin,"
The voice sounded like that of the servant who had called Wu Xianglian away once before.
Li Hu said: "Where is the person who followed you up just now?"
"Miss Wu is in the top cabin, talking to Butler Hu. You can see her when you go up," the person outside the door replied.
Li Hu said: "Okay, I'll open the door."
He flipped his wrist and took out the steel knife hidden in his clothes. He deliberately slowed down his steps and walked to the door and reached out to pull it open. As soon as Li Hu's hand touched the handle of the hatch, there was a "click" sound. , a white light had hit his left chest, and it turned out to be a sword.
The tip of the sword entered through the door very quickly, and the position of the attack was also very accurate. When Li Hu pulled the doorknob, his body was in front of the door. If he was not careful, he would definitely be stabbed to the core by this sword.
However, how could Li Hu not be wary? As soon as he grabbed the door handle with his left hand, his body was already horizontal in the air. The sword was piercing the air from under his ribs, and at the same time, the knife on his right hand had been drawn out.
The hatch immediately turned into an upper and lower half, and fell down together with the upper half of the door panel, accompanied by a large amount of blood. The direction of Li Hu's knife was also very accurate, not only cutting off the door panel, but also cutting off the person outside the door. 's throat.
There was a "bang" sound, and the lower half of the door panel was broken into pieces, but after Li Hu killed one person, he broke through the wooden door and jumped out.
This cabin was originally located at the innermost side of the large ship's bilge. Outside the door was a five-foot-long corridor with wooden steps leading up to the deck. Li Hu jumped onto the corridor and immediately saw another man holding a The steel sword stood by the door.
These two people were obviously "Tenchu" killers. They planned to take advantage of the people in the cabin to reach out and pull the door, and assassinate one by surprise, and then rush into the cabin to deal with the other.
The plan for such a surprise attack was considered clever, but it was a pity that Li Hu underestimated Li Hu's alertness and reaction speed. Seeing his companion fall from the knife, the other killer turned pale with fright and immediately turned around and ran away.
However, he had just escaped a step when his neck was entangled by a green shadow. It was Mao Jie's soft whip, and Li Hu's steel knife had already cut into his back.
The killer howled like a pig and fell down.
At this time, there was a sharp sound piercing the air, and there were cold stars dotting the air. A large number of hidden weapons were approaching, but they were fired from the other end of the corridor.
The corridor on this wooden boat was very narrow. Li Hu and Mao Jie were standing in the middle, with no room to dodge. However, Li Hu had quick eyes and quick hands. He slashed out with the steel knife and knocked away the first dart. He then grabbed it and fell down. The killer stood in front of him.
In addition to darts, the hidden weapons that were shot also included iron lotus seeds, locust stones, meridian steel nails, etc. This unlucky guy had been stabbed in the back before he could die, but at this moment, "Puff" Continuously, his body was hit by dozens of hidden weapons, and his screams suddenly stopped. He was too dead to die anymore.
"Rush to the deck," Li Hu shouted.
"Okay," Mao Jie replied. Now, there is no other way to go but to fight hard.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Five people swarmed out from the wooden steps and fled to the deck. It was the "Tenchu" killer who was originally ambushing in the corridor.
The last person who ran up to the deck staggered forward a few steps and hit the ground with his head. Blood was pouring from his back, and he was stabbed in the back of the heart.
Then something was thrown up from the exit and fell to the deck with a "bang". It was the body of the killer who was used as a shield. Then two figures appeared from the wooden steps, one holding a steel knife and the other holding a knife. The soft whips are none other than Li Hu and Mao Jie.
In the corridor below the cabin, there were originally eight hidden weapon masters trying to ambush them, but Li Hu and Mao Jie approached with lightning speed, killing half of them in an instant, and the rest fled in panic.
But the two of them walked up the wooden steps onto the deck and looked around at the situation, but their hearts sank.
There were more than fifty people on the deck, all holding weapons, and they had already gathered around the exit of the wooden steps. Some of these people were dressed as officers and soldiers, and some were wearing the clothes of servants, but Li Hu and Mao But Jie knew very well that these people were all members of the "Tianchu" assassination team.
In order to hunt down Li Hu this time, "Tianchu" gathered all the forces in Sichuan and dispatched a total of seven assassination teams to Fuyang. It turned out that most of the killers of these assassination teams were already hiding on this official ship. This is enough to show that "Tianchu" already knew that they were going to escape on this boat, so they used so many people to set up this trap.
Today, Li Hu and Mao Jie are in a situation like fish caught in many traps, and their hope of escaping is really slim.
"Set up the dragon formation and surround and kill them," someone ordered.
Twenty-six "Tianchu" killers rushed forward, and there was only a "crackling" sound. Iron chains as thick as a child's arm and more than ten feet long appeared in their hands. These killers all had one hand. He grabbed the chain, held a long knife in his other hand, and rushed towards Li Hu and Mao Jie.
Cold light flashed, figures flew, and mixed with the sharp sound of metal and metal, Li Hu and Mao Jie fought with the oncoming killer.
If Li Hu and Mao Jie had killed several people by surprise in the bottom cabin and corridor, Xiang Pihe was now facing the siege of twenty-six killers on the deck, but it was completely different.
"Tianchu" is the number one killer group in the world. There are not only many masters who specialize in killing people in the organization, but also many methods of killing people have been passed down. "Dragon Locking Formation" is one of them.
Although the rigor and sophistication of this formation is far inferior to the "Arhat Formation", the "Biji Formation" and other famous sects' combined attack formations, and it is not as good as the "Evil Dog Sect"'s "Qingyun Sword Formation", but if it is used to attack and kill In terms of sharpness, it is even worse.
In other words, this is a combined attack technique that focuses on attack but not on defense. It only aims to kill the enemy. Once the formation is activated, the thick iron chain and the organizer attached to the chain will It turned into a poisonous dragon with sharp thorns all over its body, and kept rolling towards the people being surrounded until it entangled and killed the prey.
Li Hu and Mao Jie's martial arts were originally superior to these killers. If it was a normal fight, even if it was difficult to rush out, it shouldn't be difficult to protect themselves for a while.
However, he was surrounded by the "Dragon Locking Formation" for only a moment. Although Li Hu killed the two killers, he was hit with a knife on his back and right rib, both of which were seriously injured. Mao Jie also killed He was alone, but a sword penetrated his right arm with a deep wound that could be seen in the bone. Blood was flowing out. He could no longer swing the whip, so he had to hand the weapon to his left hand.
The killers of "Tianchu" have always been willing to sacrifice their own lives, just to kill the target, and the same is true for the "Long Locking Formation". This is a vicious formation that exchanges lives for lives. There is no strict defense in the formation. It is just a desperate means of attack and killing.
The vacancies of those killed by Li Hu and Mao Jie were immediately filled. There were fifty or sixty "Tianchu" killers on the deck. They used attrition tactics to replace Li Hu and Mao Jie. Life is more than enough, and up to now, Xu Da, Ge Li and other masters have not appeared, and Shi Qingzhu, the priest of the temple, is also unknown.
After fighting for more than ten moves, the situation became more dangerous. The "Dragon Locking Formation" became smaller and smaller, forcing Li Hu and Mao Jie to a place about ten feet square. Iron chains ten feet long surrounded the upper and lower layers. , the swords of twenty-six killers attacked the two from all directions.
Li Hu suddenly laughed wildly and shouted: "Mao Jie, it seems that we are dead or alive today. Do you regret it?"
The sword wound on Mao Jie's right arm was bleeding profusely, half of his clothes were dyed red, and his eyes were blood red. He gritted his teeth and said: "Even if we fight to the death, we have killed enough. We have nothing to regret. "
Li Hu said: "Okay, then let's kill a few more of them, so we can earn some prizes."
He suddenly jumped up about ten feet, and with a "force split Huashan" move, he chopped off the head of a killer. The steel knife did not lose its force and struck the chain, shooting out a series of sparks.
It is not difficult to kill people in the "Dragon Locking Formation", but when killing someone, you have to pay a price. When Li Hu killed the killer, he was also hit in the back and left waist with swords. , blood splashed, skin and flesh were torn.
Li Hu didn't seem to feel any pain. His body was spinning in the air, and he slipped away from the two sharp blades that hit him. With a turn of his wrist, the steel knife turned into a stab, and the blade passed through the hole in the iron chain. , put on the chain.
He yelled: "Mao Jie, kill me," and he flew down with the knife. With a "click" sound, the steel knife pierced the deck until it reached the hilt. The iron chain was also hit by his steel knife. Nailed on the deck.
This official ship is not small, and is very strong. The deck is made of half-foot-thick nanmu. Li Hu used the force of the fall to pierce the steel knife with an iron chain into the wooden board, and used enough strength to hold it down. , the surrounding "Tenchu" killers were unable to pull him away for a moment.
The iron chain as thick as an arm is the key to the "Dragon Locking Formation". When the formation is activated, the iron chain continuously twists and turns, linking the attack and killing changes of the twenty-six organizers. Now one link of the iron chain is Li Hu was nailed to the deck, just like a poisonous dragon whose neck was suddenly pinched by an iron hoop. It could no longer change the situation, and the entire formation suddenly came to a standstill.
Mao Jie saw the opportunity quickly, and swung out the seven-star soft whip in his hand, knocking three people over immediately, and then grabbed one person by the waist and threw him away. The killer was thrown three feet away and hit the mast of the ship with a "bang" On top of it, the vagina burst open, and it was impossible to survive.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the formation, Li Hu let go of the handle of the knife that was nailed to the iron chain, rolled on the ground, and picked up a long knife that had been dropped by the victim. The blade was spit out twice, severing the throats of the two killers immediately. .
If the "Dragon Locking Formation" operates normally and one or two of the formation organizers are killed, the "Tenchu" killers standing on the outside can immediately fill in. However, now that the chains are nailed to the deck, the formation has collapsed. Seven people were killed in an instant, and the remaining nineteen people could only wait to die. They dropped their chains and retreated.
