Facing the big sword coming towards him, the middle-aged warrior smiled and drew his sword instantly.
The two young men felt a flash of white light in front of their eyes, a trace of cold air passing through their throats, and then heard a clang, and the two big knives broke simultaneously. The broken knife fell to the ground and penetrated the wooden board of the dock.
The two of them were so frightened that their legs went weak and they fell down. They took a few steps back and each broke into a cold sweat. They didn't even see each other's movements just now, the knife in their hands had been broken. Only now can I see that the person in front of me is not a rich man, but a strong man who can take their lives at any time!
The middle-aged man looked at the two people on the ground who were full of fear, waved his hands and said: "Let's go!"
The two immediately rolled and crawled, staggering away, even forgetting to pick up the broken knife.
The sudden conflict attracted the attention of everyone on the dock. The porters and merchants who were moving goods stopped and looked over curiously. People from the Yellow Clothes Sect and Dadao Clan on both sides laughed happily when they saw the Tiger Claw Gang disciples holding back their food.
In a hut a few dozen steps away, a dozen Tiger Claw Gang disciples were drinking and playing around with money. Seeing that his brother was being bullied, he immediately picked up the weapon and ran towards the pier in a rage, cursing.
Zhao Liang was sitting in the tea shed and also saw the dispute. I just felt that the middle-aged man in front of me was familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was for a while.
Seeing the conflict about to start, he suddenly slapped his head and said suddenly: "Why does it look familiar to me? He is Ji Cheng, the lord of Jianghu City, who is known as the sword tyrant in the world! And his wife Du Guling is from the Thirteenth Sword Sect, the best in the world. Jian Yue, known as the Shining Swordsman. They are your Lord’s best friends, so hurry up and help.”
After hearing the name "Sword Master", Luo Fan also understood. No wonder they were dressed so richly, they turned out to be the Ji family of the wealthy family of Jianguan. The Ji family is the most wealthy family in Waiguan and one of the largest families in the world. There are tens of thousands of children in the family, all of whom are masters of swordsmanship. Swordmaster Ji Cheng, as the head of the Ji family, is famous for his superb swordsmanship.
Such a master, where do you need their help? However, Luofan still followed him leisurely. It's not in vain to get a glimpse of Ji Cheng's swordsmanship.
At this time, members of the Tiger Claw Gang ran in an aggressive manner and surrounded the three of Ji Cheng.
The conflict was about to start. Zhao Liang ran over with his legs like a whirlwind. He raised his saber from a distance and shouted: "Tiger Claw Gang! Stop! No one is allowed to attack!"
The people around him turned around and looked at Zhao Liang strangely.
The disciples of the Tiger Claw Gang looked like they had seen an idiot and said with disdain: "The dogs of the Tiandu Dynasty dare to interfere in the affairs of their gang! Don't they know the rules of the world?"
Zhao Liang ran to the field, panting from exhaustion.
But he also straightened his back, full of confidence, pointed at the crowd and shouted: "What do you want to do? Do you know who this is? This is Ji Cheng, the Lord of Jianguan City, a famous sword tyrant in the world! How dare you to find him?" It’s your fault! Hurry up and disperse, you have pissed off the seniors, and you ten Tiger Claw Gang can’t afford to suffer!”
When they heard the name "Sword Master", everyone retreated in shock!
Everyone in the world knows about Jicheng, the sword tyrant. He is an incredible big shot. He himself is already a master of swordsmanship, and he is backed by Jianguan Ji Family, Thirteen Sword Mountains, and Neiguan Martial Arts Alliance. Moreover, he has 50,000 swordsmen under his command, all of whom are masters of swordsmanship. Rumor has it that with just these 50,000 swordsmen, he can defeat a million troops.
With such a huge force, not to mention they are a gang, even the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang is just an ant in the eyes of others.
The gangsters who were showing off their strength and good deeds immediately looked respectful.
The leader of the Tiger Claw Gang, a sturdy young man with a strong back and strong waist, also put away his sword and handed over his hand, announcing his family status: "Zhang Zilin, deputy director of the Tianwei Hall of the Tiger Claw Gang, has met Senior Jianba. We are blind and do not recognize the real person. Jianba." He is a heroic hero, and I and other juniors have admired him for a long time. Please don’t blame me for your abrupt offense today."
Ji Cheng stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. We don't know each other without fighting. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we are friends. From now on, when traveling in the world, we should drink and talk happily."
Seeing that Jicheng was so easy-going, Zhang Zilin was delighted and said, "It's exactly what Jian Ba said. I don't know what brings you here, senior. If you have time, you might as well come to our Tiger Claw Gang as a guest. My gang leader will treat you warmly."
Ji Cheng declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, young hero. Xue Yang, the Secretary General of Flag City, is my best friend. I came here to see him for something important. If not, I would have gone to your gang to complain. Now that it is getting dark, I will leave first." "
Zhang Zilin immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Get out of the way and send my senior off respectfully."
Zhao Liang led the way and invited Ji Cheng and the others to enter the city.
Before he could get far away, the short disciple who had just had his sword cut off deliberately laughed: "Is it really Jicheng, the sword tyrant? He can't be a liar, right? Besides, this son is too ugly. I'm afraid he is not a thief. Come on."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing. When the disciple saw that he could bring joy to everyone, he was also very proud of himself. However, I don’t know that all kinds of disasters arise from the same mind, and it’s best to cause trouble with the right and wrong tongue.
Seeing that he had just finished laughing, his eyes were squinted by the sudden wind and sand. Everyone raised their hands to shield their eyes, and vaguely saw a ghostly figure flashing across the crowd, and heard a strange sound of "stab" followed by a "uh" cry.
Everyone turned around, their eyes widened in surprise! I saw that the disciple who was showing off his talk just now was rolling on the ground with his mouth in his hands. A bloody tongue lay on the sand, bleeding all the way.
No one saw anyone taking action! It was like seeing a ghost during the day! Suddenly, everyone felt strange and terrifying. They hurriedly held their swords and looked around carefully, but they could not find any trace of the enemy!
Only Luo Fan and Ji Cheng could see clearly at the scene.
Just now, Ji Changkong, who was next to Ji Cheng, first felt an internal energy burst from his feet, and the wind and sand squinted everyone's eyes. Then, in an instant, he flashed in front of the speaking disciple with a strange movement and pulled out his tongue with his hands. Finally, I returned to my original position and stood still, as if nothing had happened.
In an instant, such a complicated action was completed without leaving any trace, and almost no one noticed it!
Luo Fan marveled in his heart: "The power of gods and ghosts. I have always thought that my assassination skills are not bad, but compared to Ji Changkong, they are really inferior. In the future, I will have to ask him for some tips if I have the opportunity!"
Compared to everyone's fear and Luofan's exclamation, Ji Cheng was extremely annoyed.
Without caring about his own face, he turned around and scolded Ji Changkong angrily: "Changkong! Why are you so vicious? A man's heart is as big as the sea, and he can't stand even one or two gossips! Did your master only teach you the ability to harm others? How can you be worthy of being me? Ji Cheng’s son.”
When everyone heard it, what? ! Was it this ugly boy with a black face who did it just now?
Only then did Dugu Ling react and hurriedly protected Ji Changkong and said, "Hey! Don't blame your son. It was him who spoke arrogantly and suffered the consequences. Who is to blame."
Zhang Zilin was also angry when he saw the miserable state of his disciples. He immediately put on a cold face and asked: "Senior! Your son tore off my brother's tongue. How will my brother live in the future? As a senior, you should give us an explanation!"
He knew in his heart that Jicheng was loyal and honest, but he was afraid that he would suffer a loss. Zhao Liang hurriedly stepped forward to refute: "What's your explanation? Have you seen someone take action? Besides, your own brother can't control his mouth and talks nonsense. Who is to blame for losing his tongue? According to the rules of the world, if you verbally insult the other party, you will be killed. It’s not an exaggeration. Do you, the Tiger Claw Gang, want to violate the rules of Jianghu Baidao?”
Zhang Zilin hesitated slightly.
Indeed, according to the rules of the world, insulting others deserves to be killed. But with so many brothers watching, how can I convince the crowd if I don’t stand out as the eldest brother?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zilin hummed: "I know the rules of the world better than you! My brother's inappropriate words should be cut off! But as his eldest brother, I can't just sit idly by and ignore them! The rules of the world are that if there is a conflict between the two parties, they will see it. High and low! Come on, let me see how powerful Jian Ba’s son is!"
Zhang Zilin raised the sword with both hands, and the muscles in both arms bulged! He looked strong and fierce, ready to fight Ji Changkong to the death.
Seeing that Zhang Zilin was seeking death, Ji Cheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Zhang, this is my son's fault. Now that the matter has come to this, the fight is meaningless. I am willing to compensate your brother a thousand taels of silver and give him a home for the rest of his life. That's it. , let’s reduce the big issue to a trivial one and stop fighting.”
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard "one thousand taels" of silver. He said in his heart that the Ji family is indeed the most wealthy family in Jianguan! One shot is a thousand taels! This is too arrogant.
