The coastal areas south of the Yangtze River have always been home to numerous Japanese pirates.
These Japanese pirates, who were numerous in number, often landed suddenly to launch attacks and won with numerical superiority. After looting, they immediately disappeared at sea. Therefore, they often give people the impression that they are elusive and their whereabouts are difficult to trace.
However, even so, it was not all smooth sailing for the Japanese pirates, and they often suffered heavy losses. First, the government had been alert to the rampant Japanese pirates for a long time, and there were many garrisons along the coast for protection. However, the most important thing is that there are many warriors in the south of the Yangtze River. Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but most of them have a strong sense of justice. They often spontaneously fight back against the evil deeds of the Japanese pirates, causing serious damage to the Japanese pirates many times.
After the Japanese pirates suffered losses, they were often unable to seek revenge from these Jiangnan warriors in person, so they hired some Japanese warriors with high martial arts skills to help them get rid of those Jiangnan warriors who were against them.
Originally, the Xiaoyaomen was the leader of the anti-Japanese warriors in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of the existence of Ren Xiaoyao, the best master in the world, the Japanese pirates had nothing to do with it. Among the Japanese ninjas, there was no one with such martial arts skills as Ren Xiaoyao. Strong people.
Although the Japanese pirates could not do anything to Xiaoyaomen for a while, they still had ways to deal with other small sects that were against them.
Taro Kimura was originally a samurai from the Japanese Iga sect, and he had extremely high martial arts skills. However, for some unknown reason, he was later kicked out of the Iga sect and was hunted by the two largest Japanese sects, the Iga sect and the Koga sect. As a result, he had no place in Japan, so he crossed the sea to the Central Plains and became one of the many Japanese warriors in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, he is different from ordinary Japanese Ronin warriors. Not only is he extremely skilled in martial arts, but he is also silent, never keeps to himself, and has a sense of justice in his heart. Compared with other Japanese Ronin who do all kinds of evil, he is indeed an alternative.
The Jiaten Sect is only a very small Japanese sect and cannot be compared with the two major Japanese sects of Iga and Koga. But this does not mean that there must be no real masters in this small Jia Teng Sect. Their sect leader Gu Tengyi is a true master.
It turns out that Taro Kimura and the Koteng sect were not in conflict with each other, but today such an encounter suddenly occurred. Both Gu Tengyi and Kimura Taro heard about the reward for the Japanese pirates, so they both decided to assassinate Mr. Mei. Dealing with Meijiazhai and Mr. Mei is a trivial matter for both the Jiaten faction and Kimura Taro. What they fear is Xiaoyaomen, who is behind Meijiazhai.
When Ren Hailuan just came out of Xiaoyao Sect Suzhou, she had already been targeted by the eyes and ears of Jia Teng Sect. Gu Teng was afraid of the masters of Xiaoyao Sect, so he wanted to capture Ren Xiaoyao's granddaughter as a hostage, so that he would have an extra trump card in his hand.
Taro Kimura didn't know that Ren Hailuan was traveling alone. He just happened to bump into these two people on the way to Meijiazhai. Of course, he also recognized the Xiaoyaomen logo. There is no warrior who walks on the ground in Jiangnan who does not recognize the symbol of Xiaoyaomen.
Taro Kimura ignored Ren Hailuan and asked Gu Teng in Japanese: "What do you want?"
"Originally we had no grudges, but you just killed two of my disciples. You made me lose face." Gu Teng gritted his teeth and said.
"My sword, as soon as it is unsheathed, will kill people. You don't know it." Kimura Taro said coldly.
"Okay! Then I will give you a face today. Leave me here and you can go!" Gu Tengyi finally made a concession, because he knew that Taro Kimura was a difficult guy to deal with. If they were to fight against each other, , there must be an injury. Even if he wins, he won't be able to go to Meijiazhai to kill people to receive rewards.
"Sorry, he is mine." Kimura Taro still refused to give in.
"You! Don't bully me too much. Don't think I'm afraid of you." Gu Teng said angrily in a sharp voice.
"Whether you are afraid of me or not, it has nothing to do with me. He is mine anyway." Before Kimura Taro could finish speaking, he suddenly made a sudden move and heard a "pop" sound. , it was immediately broken into several sections. At the same time, Kimura Taro made a direct step in the air. His and Ren Hailuan's bodies did not fall but rose instead. Instead, they flew directly and lightly from mid-air like a piece of goose feather.
Although Ren Hailuan doesn't know many martial arts, she has definitely seen a lot of advanced martial arts because she comes from a martial arts family like Xiaoyao Sect.
Kimura broke free easily, and Gu Teng was not surprised at all, because he knew the details of Taro Kimura, and he also knew that these two wooden sticks would never be able to trap him.
Gu Tengyi did not rush to order his disciples to hunt him down. Instead, he took the lead in pulling out the Japanese sword and chased Kimura from behind with a sharp slash.
Kimura Taro had already guessed that his branch would be chasing after him, so he swung his hand back and fired out several caltrops. This was the most special hidden weapon of the Japanese warriors.
Gu Teng's movement was extremely weird. As soon as Taro Kimura's caltrops arrived, his figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air. Taro Kimura didn't care and continued to escape.
However, after Gu Tengyi disappeared, Ren Hailuan could clearly feel that Kimura Taro began to become nervous. While Taro Kimura was still doing his light work, his eyes kept looking around, as if he was carefully searching for Gu Tengyi's whereabouts.
Although Ren Hailuan could not see Gu Tengyi, she could clearly feel his presence, and this aura was around him and Kimura Taro.
Suddenly, Taro Kimura suddenly turned sideways, and he and Ren Hailuan suddenly became unbalanced and almost fell from the air.
Ren Hailuan didn't understand what was going on, but at this moment he saw that Gu Tengyi's Japanese sword had struck Kimura Taro's head. If Kimura Taro hadn't reacted very quickly and held the sword first, his head would have been damaged. It had long been cut in half.
Ren Hailuan didn't know why Gu Tengyi suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, but he already understood why Kimura Taro turned sideways just now, because he was avoiding Gu Tengyi's attack.
"This Gu Tengyi is so powerful. Even Grandpa's Xiaoyaoyou movement skills may not be as good as his." Ren Hailuan sighed secretly in his heart.
Gu Tengyi's blade was just a hair's breadth away from Kimura. If it had been even half a minute later, Kimura and Ren Hailuan would have died.
However, masters like Gu Tengyi are very measured in their actions. He will not hurt Ren Hailuan easily, and he will use her as a hostage!
Kimura Taro caught a knife in mid-air, and with the weight of Ren Hailuan on his back, his body suddenly fell. He immediately turned around, and then the Japanese sword moved forward, taking the lead to hold on, and with the force of the rebound of the blade, he escaped from under Gu Teng.
