The Xiuchundao was originally the sword of Jin Yiwei. Anyone who dared to imitate or hide the Xiuchundao paid the price with their lives. Over time, no one in the Jianghu dared to use the Xiuchundao.
Since the old man uses Xiuchundao, he is inextricably linked to Jin Yiwei, or the old man himself is Jin Yiwei.
This was Zhang Ren's judgment, but the old man smiled sinisterly and said: "Who am I? I am the one who killed you! Killing people and grabbing swords is not uncommon in the world. I just killed the Jin Yiwei, and then I got Xiuchun. Dao, I will kill you as well, and I will have two Xiuchun knives."
The old man's words made Zhang Ren unable to determine whether they were true or false. The most common people in the world were desperadoes. It was normal to think that some people who were not afraid of death would hide a few embroidered spring knives.
The old man took advantage of Zhang Ren's distraction, picked up the Xiuchun knife and slashed at Zhang Ren's waist.
Zhang Ren retracted his sword and defended, receiving the blow steadily.
The attack failed to work, but the old man was not discouraged. He forced Zhang Ren back with one kick, then quickly stepped forward and swung his sword.
The old man had the upper hand, and with his continuous sword skills, Zhang Ren could not find any chance to counterattack, and could only passively dodge and block.
Although the old man's sword skills were fierce and powerful, it was not easy to break through Zhang Lu's defense.
After a few rounds, Zhang Ren finally figured out the old man's tricks.
The old man's sword technique emphasizes a large opening and closing, using pure physical strength and fierce internal force to suppress the enemy, in order to achieve the result of defeating ten enemies with one force.
But what Zhang Ren is best at is his internal strength, and the old man can be considered as playing right into his game.
This time Zhang Ren was no longer in a hurry to fight back. The old man attacked vigorously and he blocked vigorously.
The two of them fought three times with all their strength. At the fourth time, there was a crisp "ding" sound, and the old man's sword broke into two pieces.
The sword in Zhang Ren's hand was the sword of Mao Xiang, the first commander of the Jinyi Guards. It was also the first Xiuchun knife in the world. Whether it was the materials or craftsmanship used, it was unmatched by other Xiuchun knives.
Zhang Ren also seized this opportunity, swung his sword upwards, and slashed towards the old man's face.
The old man didn't expect that the knife in his hand would break, but he was obviously not mediocre. At this time of life and death, he stepped lightly and ducked to avoid Zhang Ren's blow, but his hair was struck by the sword's energy. Cut off a strand.
The old man's movements were swift, and he was able to distance himself from Zhang Ren with just one bounce.
Now that he had the upper hand, Zhang Ren was about to step forward and attack.
But the old man threw the broken knife in his hand to the ground, quickly waved his hand towards Zhang Ren and said: "No fight, no fight, stop it!"
The old man's body was no longer stooped at this moment, and his voice no longer had the gloomy feeling of ordinary people. On the contrary, there was a hint of escape and vitality in his voice.
Zhang Ren hesitated and did not attack, but asked again: "Who are you? Why are you attacking me here?"
The old man grinned, raised his hand and tore off a layer of skin, revealing another face.
This face was also not very pretty, but Zhang Ren recognized it.
"Senior Brother Thousand-faced Man? How could it be you?" Zhang Ren asked directly.
The Thousand-Faced Man curled his lips and said, "Why can't it be me?"
….
Zhang Ren put the Xiuchun Knife back into its sheath and said, "Senior Brother, your skill in disguise is unparalleled in the world. I didn't even recognize you, but you are unreasonable and you unexpectedly attacked me."
The Thousand-Faced Man shrugged and said, "The Governor always said that your martial arts have improved rapidly, but I was also bored, so I just wanted to test it out."
Zhang Ren showed off his biceps towards the Thousand-Faced Man, and said proudly: "How is it? Does my martial arts surprise Brother Thousand-Faced Man? Even if I were placed above the world, I would definitely He can be considered a strong man."
The Thousand-faced Man said rather disdainfully: "You are the only one? How dare you call yourself an expert? As the old saying goes, there are mountains and there are people outside the mountains. This kind of thinking of yours is the most undesirable. It is easy to suffer losses in the world. I I never say that I am a master."
Zhang Renlie
He smiled and said, "But I just defeated you."
Thousand-faced Man hurriedly jumped to his feet and spat softly: "Bah, that game just now doesn't count. You were just relying on the strength of the weapon. If you ask me, the governor is partial, and gave you such a good sword. "
Thousand-faced Man's eyes were filled with fire, and he did not hide his love for the Xiuchun Dao in Zhang Ren's hand.
Zhang Ren asked himself that he had a good friendship with Qianmianren, but he would not give up such a magical weapon. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Brother, you came all the way from Jinling to find me, don't you just want to make peace with me?" Shall I have a fight?"
The Thousand-Faced Man nodded and said, "The Governor asked me to come to you."
Jiang Wei seems to have no rules when it comes to talking and doing things on weekdays, but Zhang Ren knows that every word and action of Jiang Wei has a profound meaning.
Zhang Ren immediately asked: "The Governor has a mission to give?"
The Thousand-faced Man nodded and said, "Yes, the Governor asked me to bring you a message. The Japanese pirates have been dealt with, and there is no need for Zhenhai Tower to exist."
Because of long-term battles with Japanese pirates, Zhenhai Tower's reputation in Dengzhou Prefecture is extremely high, even surpassing that of the government. Many people would rather turn to Zhenhai Tower for help than the court.
Now that all the Japanese pirates have been wiped out, and the Weihai Guards are about to be established, the imperial court naturally does not want to see any Jianghu sect becoming more prestigious in the local area than the imperial court.
Zhang Ren frowned, feeling that the imperial court was a little unreasonable, but then he thought about it, suppressing Zhenhai Tower is also an imperative thing. Now that there are no foreign enemies, the development of Zhenhai Tower will definitely reach a new level. If things go on like this, the development of Zhenhai Tower will definitely reach a new level. It will become a very powerful fighting team, which will not be beneficial to the stability of society at all.
Zhang Ren looked up at the Thousand-Faced Man and asked, "Did the Governor tell me what method to use?"
The Thousand-faced Man hugged Zhang Ren and said like a good brother, "The governor didn't say it, but the governor did say that the people in Zhenhai Tower are good, very good."
If there is no need to exist, there are generally two ways, one is to disband, and the other is to completely obliterate it by force.
In Zhang Ren's mind, Zhenhai Tower has always resisted Japanese pirates. If he were to be killed by force, he would not do anything. Since Jiang Wei also felt that the people in Zhenhai Tower were good people, he could just persuade them to disband.
Zhang Ren shook off Thousand-faced Man's hand and said, "Go, go, I'm not in the habit of being hugged by grown men. I will definitely solve the problem properly at Zhenhai Tower."
Although he said this, Zhang Ren had no idea that he could build a sect with excellent reputation in the world. God knows how much hard work he had to put in, and the people in the world were very energetic. He could really disband it with just a few words of advice. A gang?
Night rivers and lakes.
