On the table, there is an oil lamp.
Although it was just a little flame, it was enough to illuminate this small room.
This cold night is destined to be sleepless.
Therefore, Duan Keyi had no intention of going to bed at all.
He sat at the table, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breath.
For an expert of his level, this level of rest was enough to recover his physical and mental energy that was lost during the day.
"To deal with an old man like me, why do you need to mobilize so many people..."
Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said such a sentence.
Before he finished speaking, he opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to the sword on the table.
Almost at the same time when his hand was holding the scabbard, there was a burst of "puff, thump, thud, thump" around it.
That... was the sound of a hidden weapon piercing through the window paper and wooden boards.
Not only doors and windows, but also walls, ceilings and floors have hidden weapons penetrated...
In the face of such an attack, it is absolutely impossible to dodge; even if the victim holds a huge shield in his hand, it may not be guaranteed to be unscathed, not to mention, Duan Keyi only has a a sword.
Fortunately, that is not an ordinary sword.
This sword is called "Banxuan" because a part of "xuan iron" was mixed in when the sword was made.
Here is the description of Mr. Jin Yong in "The Legend of Condor Heroes"-"This black iron is the most precious treasure in the world. It is extremely difficult to get one tael. Among ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds, you only need to add half a tael. Become a sharp weapon."
Obviously, the black iron added to this "half black" by the head of Duan is far more than "half a few dollars"; The epee ratio is still far behind, but it is more than enough to deal with the current situation.
I saw that Duan Ke also stomped one foot on the ground, jumped up, his right wrist moved quickly, and the sword light followed lightly.
Relying on the magnetic properties of black iron, he blocked hundreds of hidden weapons shooting from all directions with a seemingly simple maneuver.
despair-
After a short breath, Duan Ke also fell from midair and touched the ground with one foot.
The soft landing sound has already told the people outside the house... The target is still standing.
Naturally, this was not the result they wanted. The purpose of their coming today was to make Duan Keyi lie down forever.
Therefore, their offensive is not over yet.
clack clatter—
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of shattering sounds of planks, instantly bringing out two vigorous figures.
These two people rushed out directly from under the floor, and they appeared on both sides of Duan Keyi, instantly forming a pincer attack on him.
And this... seems to be within Duan Keyi's expectation.
He knew very well that the sound when he landed would determine the direction and method of the enemy's intrusion.
So he drew his sword almost without thinking.
The first sword struck the head of the person in front of him... The person jumped up from downstairs, he thought he could kill Duan Keyi by surprise, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was killed.
Although Banxuan was not as good as the "Four Divine Soldiers", he was by no means extraordinary. Before the attacker could utter a scream, the Tianling Gai was smashed with a sword, and his entire head was split in two from top to bottom.
Blood splashed onto Duan Keyi's face, but he didn't even blink his eyes, his hands were still steady and strong...
Driven by this hand, Banxuan turned his sword, drew a semicircle on his side, and slashed at the sneak attacker behind Duan Keyi.
Before the sword edge touched that person's body, Duan Keyi knew that the other person was doomed.
With many years of experience and excellent ear skills, head Duan can know the opponent's general figure, age, and internal strength just by listening to the sound of the opponent breaking through the floor; so he is sure that this person will never be able to handle this a sword.
And the fact is, as he expected...
The second attacker reacted to Duan Keyi's sword move. He raised his blade to block the sword. Then, his blade broke, his arm broke, and his torso broke. .
This is the result of the internal strength obtained from more than 50 years of hard training of boy kungfu plus the sword moves that have been honed over time, compared to the sword style of a second-rate swordsman.
In Jianghu, a place that doesn't pay much attention to fairness, only the four words "study hard and practice hard" are the most fair.
Duan Keyi's talent can't be said to be very high, and he has never had any nonsense martial arts adventures (such as falling off a cliff and eating strange things and his internal strength greatly increased, meeting a hermit master and giving him all the magic skills and skills) , For some reason, he was forced to have sex with a beautiful master and get all his skills, etc.), but he still became the head of Diancang, and looked down on the world under the name of "Exploring the Clouds".
In fact, many people have done what he did, and it is nothing more than the word "hard training".
But not everyone can add the premise of "persistence" in front of these two words, and not everyone can keep it like a day for fifty years, even after becoming famous and becoming the head. hard.
scold-
The moment Duan Keyi eliminated the second runner, a shocking change occurred!
At that moment, a sharp steel nail suddenly protruded from under the floor, and just penetrated the sole of Duan Keyi's supporting foot.
He immediately said badly in his heart, it seems... the opponent's cleverness and viciousness exceeded his expectations.
When he was hit, Duan Keyi belatedly realized that not only the previous volley of concealed weapons, but also the lives of the two attackers...was a cover.
The real blow was this steel nail.
"I advise you not to move again." After the blow was successful, a rough voice sounded from outside the door, "That will only make the poison spread faster."
These words did not cause Duan Keyi to have too much emotional fluctuations. The slightly numb pain in his feet had already told him the fact that the steel nails were poisonous.
squeak-
Soon, the person who spoke pushed open the door that had been tattered by the hidden weapon.
He held a lantern in his hand, and the light from the lantern illuminated the dark room (the oil lamp in the room had been extinguished in the previous volley of hidden weapons), and also illuminated his appearance.
It was a burly middle-aged man, like a human-shaped iron tower; his appearance and figure like a knife and ax were in perfect harmony with his voice.
"Tu Ji..." Duan Keyi looked at the man, and said coldly, "Duan doesn't know... that the Kuanghu gang is so good at stabbing people in the back."
Duan Keyi obviously knew the other party, and the person who came was Tu Ji, the leader of the Mad Tiger Gang, known as the "Tiger Faced Arhat".
"Hehe..." Tu Ji sneered, "That's right, no one knows because of his excellence."
This is very reasonable, the dead can't go around talking nonsense.
"It's a pity..." Duan Keyi said, "Compared to this method of death, I'd rather die under the 'Arhat Fighting Tiger Palm'."
"You don't have to use this method to provoke me." The smile on Tu Ji's face was still there, "I know what you're planning... I won't take the bait." He paused, then continued, "Duan Master, you and I know very well... Since I chose this way to deal with you, it means that I have admitted that your martial arts are higher than mine; I can even tell you frankly that even if I were to practice another In ten or eight years, I am not sure that I can beat you now."
Hearing this, Duan Keyi's heart sank. He knew... that the plan to lure the other party to him would be impossible to realize: "Hmph... you are very self-aware."
"That's right... If I didn't have this self-knowledge, I would have died so many times." Tu Ji's tone seemed to be not ashamed, but rather proud.
And... when he said this, he also stood motionless at the door of the room, not taking half a step forward, making it clear that he would not give the other party any chance to fight back.
"Duan Keyi, you are a master, and you are also an upright hero.
"So. You have the right to be proud.
"But... you are also obliged to pay the price for this arrogance.
"Tonight is the time for you to pay the price."
While speaking, the smile on Tu Ji's face disappeared, and his voice became colder and colder: "Don't worry about those disciples of Diancang you brought, they are already waiting for you on Huangquan Road."
Duan Keyi's face was livid, anger accelerated his heartbeat and pulse, and also accelerated the speed at which the toxin took effect in his body.
"The one surnamed Tu... one day..." Head Duan wanted to leave his last words.
But Tu Ji interrupted him with a cold face: "I know... I will die badly, I have heard this a lot, but the people who said this are dead, I am still alive, and my life is better than all of them. "
After speaking, he slowly stepped back a few steps. Until the last moment, he didn't turn his back on his opponent, and didn't show any flaws.
"Brothers, send Sect Leader Duan on his way!"
Following Tu Ji's order, another round of concentrated fire from hidden weapons came, but this time... Duan Keyi didn't even have the strength to raise his sword.
...
At the same time, inside Wang Qiong's mansion.
At the darkest hour before dawn, a figure silently walked out of his room and stood in the empty courtyard.
He just stood there, standing in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, without saying a word.
After a while, a bright light suddenly appeared less than ten meters away from him.
At the light, there are two people, a man and a woman.
The man looked at him with a smile, while the woman held a strangely shaped lantern expressionlessly.
"Heh... Mister, you got up really early." Feng Bujue greeted the other party with a smile.
Cheng Wei stood there, staring at the two in front of him with cold eyes, without responding.
"We are here to pay a visit to Boss Wang Qiongwang. I wonder if... can you inform me?" Brother Jue continued as if nothing had happened, and made a request unceremoniously.
After another five or six seconds of silence, Cheng Wei finally spoke: "Who are you?"
He asked this question, not because he was really going to inform the two of them; Cheng Wei just wanted to know...these two people who put down all the secret whistle around the mansion and successfully stepped into the courtyard...what are they? origin
