Xia Qifei left Jiangnan Residence, and came to the front of the street. Looking at the people passing by at night, he couldn't help lowering his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother." A dozen men surrounded him outside the building, looking at him with a trace of awe and a trace of strangeness, and saluted respectfully.
These people are all experts in the Jiangnan Water Village. Because of the tendering of the inner treasury, they flew into Suzhou City with Xia Qi, but Suzhou City has always been extremely guarded. Some of these water bandits are even on the portraits of the documents captured at sea. So generally speaking, they would not enter Suzhou city.
These people didn't expect that now, thieves like themselves can not only walk around the city of Suzhou openly, but even their elder brothers can sit at the same table with the richest merchant families in the south of the Yangtze River. On weekdays, he would only use money to buy the lives of his brothers to fight, how could he be so polite to Brother Xia like today.
Thinking of this verse, a sense of vanity and pride rose in the hearts of these men. This world is indeed different from before.
Seeing the panicked and joyful expressions on the faces of his subordinates, Xia Qifei couldn't help laughing at himself, and said, "Brothers, you should learn more. This time you also saw those old gentlemen. When you are in trouble, ask those gentlemen for advice."
The gentleman mentioned in these words is the old household official sent by the imperial envoy Fan Xian to help him win the bid. The Jiangnan Shuizhai will gradually develop into a commercial firm. Xia Qifei also hopes that his confidants can master the skills of doing business as soon as possible, at least There will always be things like settling accounts.
In the joyful atmosphere, Xia Qifei suddenly felt a chill.
He looked up, the bright moon was on the dome of plain night, it was still spring, and the night on a sunny day would indeed look colder.
Looking back, he saw three strange people standing across the street.
The reason why these three people are strange is because these three people appeared out of the blue, and then looked at the street indifferently. They were not tourists returning home at night, or pleasure-seekers after drinking, and the clothes they were wearing were very ordinary. But the man in the middle is wearing a hat, which looks a bit special on such a night.
He has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has struggled between life and death since he was a child. Xia Qifei didn't have time to react at all. The chill in his bones and his intuition for danger caused a cold light to shoot in his eyes, and he let out a strange cry, and put his toes on the ground. After clicking three times in a row, the whole person floated towards the door of Jiangnan Residence in the rear!
When his toes were on the ground, the man among the three across the street put his hand under his hat behind his shoulder and held something.
Then, a blade of light like snow poured down, chasing Xia Qifei's body like a water bird treading water without a trace, and chopped it down!
…
…
"kill!"
When the sword light came on, the men in the Jiangnan water village also reacted, relying on the bravery in their bones, trying to stand between the eldest brother and the soul-chasing sword light. It's just that their reaction was never as good as that of the man wearing the hat. Only the closest confidant to Xia Qifei shouted wildly, pulled out the straight knife hidden in the clothes room, pierced his arms hard, and blocked it with all his might!
With a crisp sound of rubbing, the straight knife in the hand of the man in the water village was like a crisp and tender lotus root in the south of the Yangtze River, cut in half by the light of the knife.
With a bang, the man's body was split open by the extremely violent knife, turning into two horrific pieces of flesh and blood, the blood gushed out, and the internal organs flowed all over the ground—the two separated hands, still Holding the handle and tip of the knife, defending weakly and miserably!
…
…
The saber did not stop, and in the still night, it reached the front of Jiangnanju's building, in front of Xia Xifei who had just landed on the ground with his toes.
The saber energy is like a straight line, chopping people when meeting people, slashing ground when meeting ground, cracking the bluestone on the street with a chirp, revealing the fresh stubble inside!
With a loud bang, rocks splashed in front of the Jiangnan residence building, and the dust gradually rose. Xia Qifei yelled violently, and he sealed his palms together, facing the indomitable saber gesture.
The light of the knife suddenly faded, and the dust gradually fell.
Two smears of blood came out of Xia Qifei's nostrils, his palms trembling in front of his body, and he looked at the man wearing a hat on the opposite street with horror on his face.
This mad knife slashed across a long street, broke through a person's body on the way, and caused internal injuries to himself. What a terrifying state this is, I'm afraid he is already a ninth-rank master! Where in the south of the Yangtze River is there such a strange top expert
The knife slashed violently and unreasonably, piercing the night sky. At this moment, it was a little quiet, and only then did everyone see clearly the person wearing the hat.
The man in the hat was tall and full of seriousness. He held a long knife in his hand. The blade was sharp and the handle was extremely long. It was a long knife that could only be seen on the stage or on the battlefield. The knife is eight feet long, and I don't know how the opponent put it behind him before!
All of this just happened in a blink of an eye, after Xia Qifei tried his best to block the knife, he blinked.
In the blink of an eye, I realized that things were a little scary—because the two people beside the person wearing the hat hat had disappeared without a trace, and I don't know where they went.
Since the other party came to kill him, the two of them would definitely not stop.
…
…
In fact, when the man in the hat pulled out the long knife behind him and slashed across the street, the other two masters beside him had already floated up, avoiding the group of men in the Jiangnan water village in the middle of the street , his figure slid out two extremely graceful arcs like a flying swallow, like two dark arrows, piercing towards where Xia Qifei was.
Using a long sword as a thunderbolt, and concealing the two swallows flying together to kill, if nothing unexpected happens, Xia Qifei, who is still in panic, should have died at the previous moment.
And the reason why he didn't die was because when Xia Qifei barely blocked the knife, new changes had already appeared on the long street.
When the men from the Jiangnan water village moved towards Xia Qifei, four of them moved to the sides strangely, and then when the two masters who passed by like swallows wanted to move from both sides, When they flashed by, the four of them flipped their palms, took out the iron rods under the long gowns, and stabbed them sideways!
It was very clean, very simple and sharp, but it just landed on the chest, abdomen and genitals of the two masters, and the opponent couldn't help but avoid it.
These four were naturally the six assassins that Fan Xian had hastily dispatched tonight.
The level of the six assassins may not be as good as the three masters who came to kill tonight, but they have a natural sensitivity to judge the current situation and the possible route the opponent may choose to kill.
So they blocked the two swallows that the other side intended to kill together.
Ding ding ding ding, in an instant, countless slight crisp sounds rang out on the street in front of Jiangnanju, densely packed, it seemed that there would never be a moment of interruption, just like this spring and Jingming Suzhou City Suddenly, there was a burst of broken hailstones.
Two masters like swallows held two short swords in their hands, which were fed with poison and glowed in the night.
Four Assassin Swordsmen from the Sixth Division held iron brazing rods in their hands, which were also fed with poison, blending into the night.
Moments later, several muffled groans seemed to sound at the same time.
The two masters who came to kill Xia Qifei flitted back to the opposite side of the street, their clothes were scratched more than a dozen times by the iron rod, and several deep places seemed to have cut through the skin.
And the side of the Sixth Office also paid a very heavy price for this. One person's left hand has been cut off, exposing the bones and limbs inside, and another person was stabbed in the shoulder, and a strange phenomenon began to appear in the blood color, and one person has already fallen in a pool of blood!
As soon as the two sides met each other, they suffered an irreparable loss. In those tinkling voices, it was unknown what kind of danger had been there.
But even with such serious injuries, the six assassins only groaned twice at most, and their determination was unmatched by ordinary Jianghu people. The three who were still able to move, while eating the antidote pills prepared by the three places, intended to retreat and narrow the defensive circle, so as to save Xia Qifei's life.
…
…
The two swallows who retreated across the street didn't seem to have thought that there would be such a group of professional assassins by Xia Qifei's side, and they would suffer a lot of damage.
The two looked at each other, knowing that the other party must be a member of the Overwatch Council. As for the poison of the Overwatch Council, no matter what power it is from, everyone knows the degree of horror. The poison that old Mr. Fei Jie took care of is not for everyone. I can't stop it.
So the two turned around and got up cleanly, with their toes touching the wall, they swept into the night sky and disappeared immediately.
They are all real masters and killers in Jiangnan martial arts, they were entrusted to kill Xia Qifei today, but they are not willing to put their precious lives here.
In a distant alley in the dark, there was a soft sound.
…
…
The three masters on the street left two of them, but Xia Qifei felt that his situation hadn't improved at all, and the pressure he was under was even greater-because that knife, the long knife that can only be seen on the stage, was in two places. When the dense battle on the side happened, they had already killed them again.
There is no single enemy in front of the sword, and no ghost with a whole corpse under the sword.
The knife light like splashing snow dismembered, separated, and beheaded those brave and respectable men in the water village, splashing a bloody path, and they were getting closer and closer to Xia Qifei amidst the flying stumps all over the sky.
Watching my brothers die tragically on the long street, listening to the thrilling sounds of knives and screams, smelling the strong smell of blood, watching the man wearing a hat coming all the way with blood, that man walked away. He is so firm and persistent, like a devil.
Xia Qifei's heart was cold, but his blood was hot, his eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to rush forward, stand in front of his brothers, and fight vigorously with this master wearing a hat, even if he died by the knife, so what
However, he couldn't move, he retreated, very sad but resolutely fled to Jiangnan Juli.
Because he knew that the other party's purpose was to kill him, and his name and this person were very useful. If he wanted revenge and made the enemy sleepless, he... had to live! Even if it is so humiliating to live on!
…
…
The person wearing the hat was only five steps away from Xia Qifei.
The three swordsmen who were wounded in six places finally came back to rescue them, but with their remaining bodies, they couldn't stand against the astonishing saber force of the hat master.
Jiangnan residence is close at hand.
Xia Qifei fled up the steps.
The diners at the gate of the building screamed in panic, but they seemed to be possessed by a demon. They were shocked by this bloody and terrifying scene, their legs were weak, and they seemed to be unable to walk.
The master wearing a hat, with his toes still five steps away from the stone steps, had already slashed down with a single blow, and the direction of the sword was the back of the extremely embarrassed Xia Qifei!
A diner who seemed to be petrified was trembling while supporting the beautiful pillars of the Jiangnan Residence. Then, for some unknown reason, he shook out an iron brazing rod, and stabbed it fiercely at the thigh of the master wearing a hat. past!
The master wearing the hat was tall and mighty. This hidden six-point assassin didn't have the confidence to attack the enemy and save him. He stabbed Xia Qifei's vitals before he sliced through Xia Qifei's body with a knife, so he chose the thigh root.
No one expected that the master in the hat, as if he hadn't seen the thorn, still kept cutting down with his saber.
With a sound of nails, the iron rod pierced the man's thigh, but it was like piercing an iron plate!
The six assassins felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that this was a stupid kung fu that no one practiced anymore in Jianghu—Iron cloth shirt.
But since the other party has practiced it, and doesn't avoid it at all, it means that the other party has spent decades of hard training, abandoned all sexual desires for men and women, and practiced this skill to the extreme.
This assassin from the six places knew that he couldn't stop the knife, but the lord Tisi ordered him to save Xia Qifei's life, so he flew sideways and jumped towards the top of the hat master without fear of death. In the past, in mid-air, the man had pulled out a small dagger from between his boots, and stabbed fiercely at the eyes that had been covered by the hat.
…
…
At this moment, the saber of the hat-wearing expert was less than a foot away from Xia Qifei's back, and the two iron brazing rods reappeared tirelessly.
Fan Xian sent to protect Xia Qifei, a total of seven swordsmen from six divisions, five of them had already appeared before, and the two who were quiet until the end, were originally planning to be like the previous leaders, who would save the enemy if they attacked, and came to rescue Xia Qifei life.
But when they discovered that the other party was practicing extremely abnormal horizontal kung fu, they knew that method would not work, and the knife had already arrived, so they had no choice but to fight the other party head-on.
There were two extremely unpleasant clicks, and the two iron rods did not break, but they were shaken out of their hands.
Taking advantage of this block, Xia Qifei lunged forward like a poor puppy, dodging the knife very dangerously.
The light of the knife fell to the ground, and it directly cut a big hole in the stone steps of Jiangnan Residence!
Xia Qifei let out a wow, and spit out a mouthful of blood. He was always locked by the aura of this master, and he was attacked by the sword, but he suffered the most serious internal injuries.
A mouthful of blood spewed out, but his face was still stern while lying on the ground, his right hand pierced through his left armpit extremely quickly, and he pulled the crossbow hidden in his sleeve.
This is a gift given to him by the imperial envoy for self-defense.
When the crossbow arrow went, the swordsman from the six places had already jumped in front of the hat master!
The hat master couldn't take back his long saber, he clenched his left hand and struck horizontally, with a bang, the swordsman was sent flying horizontally, and in this way, an empty door was exposed in front of his face.
Before the thin crossbow arrows hit the hat, the man finally had a normal reaction and tilted his head back slightly. It seemed that he was domineering, but his face was still vulnerable.
The arrow pierced through the air and pierced deeply into the upper edge of the hat with a whoosh sound!
The belt under the hat was not taken away by this crossbow arrow, so the true face of this mysterious ninth-rank master was still not revealed in front of everyone.
…
…
There was a light sound, but it was not crisp, and there was a slight bang, like urchins playing with firecrackers, or like the crackling when burning wet wood.
The crossbow bolt stuck on the upper edge of the hat... exploded!
A flash of fire flashed, and a puff of smoke and dust suddenly appeared on the head of the hat master, which looked extremely strange.
Although the transformation of the three places still couldn't bring out the true power of the gunpowder, and the burning momentum was not violent enough, it still burned the hat completely in an instant.
The hat master held a long knife in his hand, and his feet were uneven. He stood silently in front of Jiangnanju Restaurant, his face was dark, with horrible blisters in the middle, his eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. .
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
The mysterious master is still alive.
But what shocked everyone was not that this person survived such a killing, because with the strength of the opponent, it was not so easy to kill. What shocked Xia Qifei and everyone in the Overwatch Council the most was... this person The master who has been wearing a hat... turns out to be a bald head!
Today's world pays attention to filial piety. The so-called parents who receive the body and skin, no one will cut their hair randomly, let alone bald. The only kind of people in this world who are allowed to walk around with a bald face... are the ascetics.
Ascetic monks who worship the temple.
And everyone in the world knows that ascetic monks have always loved the people and cherished themselves, and have never had anything to do with the fights between the world... Why did this extremely powerful ascetic monk come to kill Xia Qifei today
It was too late to think about this shocking question, because the ascetic monk picked up the terrifying long knife again, groaned, held the knife with both hands, and slashed at Xia Qifei who was on the steps. !
…
…
It's hard to win a thousand troops, but a single flower can win.
The desperate people on the stone steps only felt a gust of fresh wind blowing in front of them, and a flower-like ocean bloomed in front of their eyes, driving away the bloody smell on the long street in front of the restaurant in an instant, and the fragrance blossomed, refreshing.
A pair of steady and gentle hands, carrying a basket of cheap juanhua bought from Wuzhou, greeted the sharp point of the long knife that was indomitable.
The knife came very fast, and those hands moved even faster. For some reason, the flower basket was already hanging on the long knife the next moment.
The knife was extremely powerful, and the flower basket was extremely light, but when the flower basket was lightly hung on the tip of the knife, the daunting long knife, which had been stable all the time, trembled and drooped involuntarily, as if the flower basket was extremely heavy!
With a pause of the saber, the ascetic monk holding the saber let out a yell, and his arms burst out with qi, provoking it like a big Dongshan!
…
…
With a clattering sound, the flower basket finally couldn't resist the astonishing and genuine resistance of both sides. When it was picked up by the tip of the knife, the whole frame fell apart. Pulling away, the roots shattered, turned into countless fragments and shot out, hitting the ground with crackling sounds.
However, the juanhua in the basket was blown up by the strong wind, fluttering and flying up, dressing up the long street that was already like a killing field for Shura.
In the rain of flower petals, like a gust of wind, the girl in the floral padded jacket gently attacked the ascetic monk along the trembling long knife.
The ascetic monk raised his palm like a knife, but he couldn't stop the other party's swaying figure.
A moment later, those gentle palms patted the handle of the knife lightly, and then snapped out, piercing the edge of the ascetic monk's giant palm.
The ascetic groaned strangely, and his burnt cheeks showed a strange red color caused by the agitation of true energy, and his whole body retreated like a big bird.
One face-to-face, this god-killing ascetic was repelled.
At this time, the sky is still raining flowers and flowers, and it looks extraordinarily beautiful against the blue night and bright moon above the city of Suzhou.
The petals fell one after another, and Miss Begonia stood calmly in the rain of petals. She didn't chase after her, but looked at the ascetic opposite with a little sadness.
Village girls, occasionally have the most beautiful moments.
…
…
"Second Priest of the Qing Temple, why are you here?" Haitang said with a sad face.
The ascetic monk looked at her, recognized her identity, and shouted sharply: "Begonia Duoduo! Why are you here?"
Haitang lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "I'm with Fan Xian."
The ascetic monk was taken aback, as if he did not expect that, as the successor of Haitang Tianyi and the saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he would say this reason so easily.
"I'm going to kill someone today, don't stop me." The ascetic monk looked at her and said coldly.
Haitang frowned slightly, looked up and down the stone steps of Jiangnanju, the dead people in the middle of the long street, those broken limbs, those pungent blood, and said softly: "You have killed enough people tonight, don't kill them!" .”
Not a request, nor a persuasion. Since Fan Xian was worried about Xia Qifei's side, he temporarily asked Haitang to come and take a look, which represented his absolute trust in Haitang. And Haitang is here, except for the legendary four old immortals, as long as she says not to kill, no one will be able to kill again.
Although the ascetic monk was severely burned, he could still see a trace of determination on his face. He gave Haitang a strange look, then turned around and left.
There is no need for a road to leave. The ascetic monk directly smashed through a courtyard wall beside the street. Amidst the rumbling sound, a big hole was made in the wall, and his figure disappeared in the hole.
The flowers and rain fell all over the sky, Haitang was silent, and then floated lightly, behind the courtyard wall.
