Chapter Sixty-Five: Deep Sea Fog
All the heroes on the field screamed when they heard this, and the Taoist Taoist Master was even more surprised: "Does Shaoxia Tang have any evidence?" Although the Shaolin sect personally admitted that Master Juehui did not die at the hands of Chu Jianghan, he still kept saying I feel that half of the current generation of Shaolin and Wushu masters may have died at the hands of Chu Jianghan. It is really unbelievable to hear such a sentence now.
Shang Jiutian and Xue Zongchang laughed loudly. Sang Boyong, who was fighting fiercely on the field, also feinted his sword. He laughed loudly and shouted: "Since I have been invited by the sect leader to join the Holy Cult, this vote of approval You have to have it!”
Lu Cangsong, one of the Three Dian Cang Swordsmen, was furious after hearing this. He made more fierce sword moves and cursed: "Evil thief, you will die!"
The heroes on the opposite side were sighing, but Chu Jianghan felt unhappy in his heart. Sang Boyong should have admitted it in person, and now his grievances could be considered washed away, but he couldn't be happy at all. Shen Yu, who was on the side, saw that his expression was getting worse and worse, so he quietly leaned over and reached out to hold his arm.
When Chu Jianghan was distracted, he suddenly heard a "clang" and the long sword in Lu Cangsong's hand had been knocked down on the deck. When he looked again, blood was already dripping from his right wrist.
Sang Boyong laughed loudly, turned around and clasped his fists at Shang Jiutian and said with a smile: "Leader, are these two hands worth it?" Shang Jiutian laughed wildly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Okay! Brother Sang is so capable. , no longer under Master Zuo, this Dharma Protector can be done naturally, naturally!"
Lu Cangsong spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and couldn't help shouting: "Master Chong Bai, I just hate that my disciples are not living up to expectations, and I can't kill the murderer for you with my own hands..." After saying this, he burst into tears again, and then passed out.
The Iron Hand Taoist hurriedly stepped forward and asked someone to carry Lu Cangsong down.
They were defeated in the first battle. Everyone looked at the backbone of the martial arts alliance, Zhao Chan, but Zhao Chan was thoughtful and said nothing.
I only heard Chu Jianghan say: "Hmph! This Master Lu only knew that he lost a move because he was distracted. If not, the outcome is unknown, right?"
Seeing that Zhao An was still silent, Taoist Tieshou said loudly: "Alliance leader, as far as I know, Dian Cang and Lu Cansong were not good at swordsmanship when they first came out of the martial arts world. Later, they had to meet the master of Wudang swordsmanship, Taoist Chong Bai, to teach him, and then he came in. Lu Cangsong has been looking at Chong. Taoist Master Bai is a teacher. He learned about his enemy today and was inevitably distracted, so he lost..."
Hearing this, Zhao An neither nodded nor shook his head, but only glanced sideways at Tang Shaojie. Tang Shaojie's fair and pretty face suddenly turned red.
"Hahaha... Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice, it's wonderful! Young Master Tang is really smart, I admire him." But it was Chu Jianghan who spoke sarcastically.
Unexpectedly, Tang Shaojie was also very smart, and his mind was racing, and he immediately retorted: "I think Tang's little cleverness is naturally inferior to your magnanimity and magnanimity of Chu Shaoxia, who repays evil with evil. I would like to ask for advice: Chu Shaoxia was caught one after another. Which two masters planned to appear in the Devil's Futon Cave for no reason? Later, they were regarded by the government as evildoers of the Devil's Cult and imprisoned in a stone prison, suffering the consequences of prison for nothing? Who was it? Want to go to war with this man named Xue, but then help the enemy afterwards? With Chu Shaoxia’s moral cultivation of benevolence and righteousness, even if Tang cultivated for ten lives, he might not be able to catch up, right? Ha...hahaha !”
Chu Jianghan became angry when he heard this: He recalled that he had been deceived and tricked by Xue Zongchang and Xuanwu one after another, and then he ended up in prison, and then ran away to die. Last time I learned that the master of the White Lotus Sect who came to rescue him was Xue Zongchang. He was about to draw his sword to take revenge, but Zhao An and his entourage came in to kill him, so he was unable to take action. Later, Shang Jiutian had to mediate, and he was worried that if he took action, There was no guarantee that Shen Yu would not be tricked, so he had to suppress his anger along the way. How can you not be angry now that someone has revealed your feelings to your face?
Seeing Chu Jianghan being angered, Shang Jiutian secretly rejoiced. If Chu Jianghan started a fight with the other party, he would be helping himself, and it would be much easier for him.
Chu Jianghan was already angry with embarrassment. He pushed Shen Yu away gently and said, "Tang, since you said this, I want to learn your clever tricks first, and then deal with my grudges." After saying this, he drew his sword. , Tang Shaojie's face turned red again when he saw this, and he just stamped his feet angrily.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao said: "I dare to ask Young Master Chu, but he has joined the White Lotus Sect? What position does he hold in the White Lotus Sect now?" Chu Jianghan said: "Huh, I only agreed to go with Mr. Shang all the way, but I never agreed to join them. "
Zhao An said: "That's great. Today is the day when our Central Plains Wulin becomes the leader of the Demon Slayer Sect. Since Chu Shaoxia and Miss Shen have not joined the Demon Sect, they are not our enemies, so why should we use our swords?" His words brought Shen Yu along with him, and the implication was self-evident.
Chu Jianghan was speechless for a moment, then stood back with his hands retracted.
Only then did the Taoist Iron Hands react, and he glared at Tang Shaojie angrily. He didn't care about any politeness, he respected his status, and cursed fiercely: "Shut up! It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than enough to ruin it!"
Xue Zongchang laughed, took a step forward and said: "Leader Zhao, you are worrying too much. The martial arts of our holy leader and Chu Shaoxia have already reached their peak. If they take action, how can there be any opponents in the martial arts? Haha, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? How can I deal with you? There are so many things on the road, I’m enough for you alone.”
The Iron Hand Taoist stepped forward and said to Zhao An: "Alliance leader, this time the old Taoist is coming!" He abandoned his sword, lifted his robe, jumped into the circle, and shouted: "Look at the palm!" This is one of the Kongtong sect's palm skills. The Qiankun Vajra Palm, the wind whistling in the palm hits the opponent directly.
Xue Zongchang did not dare to be careless. He stretched out his right hand while breathing heavily, turned around to receive a palm, and after the two palms met, Xue Zongchang couldn't help but praise: "What a great palm technique! It is indeed the secret skill of the Kongtong sect." ." After saying that, he lost the sword in his left hand and turned around to fight the iron-handed Taoist with a pair of fleshy palms.
The two of them changed places and exchanged fists and kicks, fighting for more than ten moves in the blink of an eye. The Iron Hands Taoist summoned his might and used his best skills. In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged five or six palms. The Iron Hands Taoist has been immersed in palm skills for decades. A pair of fleshy palms can already crack monuments and rocks, but at this moment, he can only It felt like I had encountered a masterful palm technique that I had never encountered in my life. The first palm contact was like falling into a bottomless abyss, and the huge force was like a mud cow falling into the sea. It disappeared without a trace in an instant. The moment the palm was withdrawn, the opponent's palm power was as strong as ten thousand hectares. It was coming like a wave, and there was really nowhere to hide. In the blink of an eye, the energy and blood all over his body was boiling, and after two or three more palms, he had to vomit blood on the spot.
Lu Long and Xiao Feng, who were watching the battle, suddenly exclaimed: "Han Tao Palm?"
Shang Jiutian said aside: "In the world of the older generation, there are gold palms, silver palms, copper palms and iron palms. The Han Tao Palm used by my brother is one of the iron palms. When taking over the palm, it will exert all the power on the opponent." It is invisible, but when the opponent withdraws his palm, the force of his palm is like a torrential wave, and there is no way to avoid it. It is really mysterious, profound and unpredictable. Haha...hahaha!"
Lu Long and Xiao Feng jumped forward and Lu Long said: "I think back then my husband and I were defeated by the Soul-Severing Palm of the Golden Palm, and they ended their lives with hatred. My husband and I have lived in seclusion overseas for thirty years, just for Looking for a way to break the world's palm skills, the sky has eyes, and the two of us have finally practiced a set of fingering methods that are specially designed to break the world's palm skills, named 'Spirit Snake Finger', and I'm going to prove it today."
After saying this, they both stepped aside and stood in front of Xue Zongchang, taking the place of the Iron Hand Taoist. Xue Zongchang smiled slightly, raised his arms and reached for the two of them. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were fighting together again.
Chu Jianghan watched the battle from the sidelines. He only knew that Xue Zongchang was known as the "Invincible Divine Sword" and his swordsmanship was at its peak, but he never expected that his palm skills were even better than his swordsmanship. Seeing the couple boasting so much, I took a closer look.
Lu Long, Xiao Feng and his wife were dexterous in body movements. Their arms were like snakes. They never left Xue Zongchang's arms. They cleverly avoided the position where Xue Zongchang took the move. When Xue Zongchang withdrew his palm, they stretched out their index and middle fingers as if they were snakes. Pointing towards Xue Zongchang's palm.
Chu Jianghan stood aside and used his sect's thirty-sixth style of wind spirit palm to secretly verify this finger technique, but he broke out in a cold sweat: he used wind spirit palm to confront the couple, and he had no chance of winning. If you want to win, you have to use your sword.
Looking at Xue Zongchang again, his fleshy palms are not afraid of such exquisite fingering skills at all. Sometimes he even dares to take the blow hard, and there is no sign of defeat.
The iron-hand Taoist here had just stopped breathing, and had recovered from his surging blood. Seeing that Lu Long, Xiao Feng and his wife were fighting Xue Zongchang, but they still couldn't win, he shouted loudly and stepped forward to help. The three figures were like revolving lanterns. Fighting around Xue Zongchang.
Lu Long, Xiao Feng and his wife were able to restrain Xue Zongchang's cold wave palm with the skill of Lu Long and Xiao Feng. However, Xue Zongchang was not inferior due to his profound skills. In addition, the Iron Hand Taoist's palm wind was domineering and fierce, and the four of them were defeated. They fight together with fists, feet, and soles, but there is no way to win or lose.
Shang Jiutian watched the battle from the side, sometimes nodding in admiration, sometimes shaking his head in regret. Suddenly he said to Chu Jianghan: "The couple Lu Long and Xiao Feng are extremely smart. They can actually come up with such tricks. In the past fifty years or so, they are considered to be the only ones in the martial arts world. It's a pity that although they know how to defeat each other, Tao, but cannot fully understand that there are countless ways to create and defeat martial arts in the world, and winning only by using moves will be at the end of the line."
Chu Jianghan has been improving his cultivation recently, but he listened carefully to Shang Jiutian's words, thought about it silently, and thought it was reasonable. He continued: "Yes, if the opponent's skill is better than his own, even if the moves are more exquisite, they may not be effective." Shang After hearing this, Jiutian smiled and nodded in approval.
Zhao An saw that he had dispatched three masters but could not win, and he could not identify the old man's identity. He felt a little cold and secretly thought that the situation today was very bad again. But his palace was very deep, and even though he had thousands of things on his mind, he still had a confident look on his face, and he only looked at the four people fighting each other without saying a word.
At this time, four ships and five ships were already sailing forward, forming a siege on the main ship. The masters on each ship were waiting for the order from the main ship. As long as the horn sounded, they would either point arrows or crossbows at each other, or move the ship closer and jump on to help. .
The lucky boat that Zhang Ji and the two were on was far away from the main ship, but when they saw that the fight was going on aboard the main ship, they were afraid that Shang Jiutian's martial arts was extremely good, and everyone would be defeated again. Not only would many heroes be damaged, but also You will miss a great opportunity to eliminate the thief. The most important thing is that he is worried that his adopted brother Chu Jianghan will lead Shen Yu to do something outrageous again, and he is even more anxious.
Taoist priest Xuanhe only stretched his neck to watch, showing no intention of stepping forward to help. Zhang Ji could no longer hold it in any longer, cupped his fists and said anxiously: "Taoist priest, Shang Jiutian is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he is also full of tricks. We can't do it anymore." We have come to help, I'm afraid that Alliance Leader Zhao and the others will suffer a loss. If this demon is gone, it will be even more difficult to find him in the future. How about we move the ship over and help Alliance Leader Zhao capture this old demon together?"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Xuanhe turned around, clasped his fists and said, "Haha... Well! Xiaodao was ordered by the leader to suppress this ship. Without the order of the leader, he would never dare to move the boat over without authorization. Xiaodao is not afraid. Yes, it’s just that the alliance leader must have deep intentions in making this arrangement. If Xiaodao makes random decisions and ruins the alliance leader’s plan, he will be a sinner in the world of martial arts... I hope you two can understand the relationship."
The helmsman surnamed Liu also said: "What the Taoist said makes sense. If there is no order from the main ship, who would dare to move the ship? If the blame comes from above, who will take care of it? Huh... If you two want to help, you can jump into the water on your own. Swim over, I was ordered by the gang leader to help Taoist Master Xuanhe steer the boat. Without my order, let me see who dares to raise the sails and who dares to turn the rudder?"
After hearing this, Zhang Ji was unaware of what he was doing, when suddenly there were several thunderbolts from the blue sky, and heavy fog suddenly filled the air. We must know that we have left the land at this moment, and the clouds and clears on the sea can only change in an instant. No matter how deep the skill is, the eyes can no longer see in an instant. In addition, the sea water is turbulent and the waves are pushing the giant ship. How can you know the situation of the battle when your hearing is blocked?
Xiaoruo took the opportunity to sneak up to Captain Liu of the Haisha Gang and used a grappler to restrain him so that he could force him to command the entire ship to approach the main ship.
Unexpectedly, Captain Liu had also practiced martial arts, and he was dodged by the attack. He drew out his sword and struck back, slashing at Xiaoruo several times.
Before Zhang Ji could react, Taoist priest Xuanhe let out a low roar, and used a movement technique to move in front of Xiao Ruo. He drew out the long sword on his back, placed it on Xiao Ruo's neck, and shouted to Zhang Ji: " You must be more honest and kneel down quickly to be bound, or else I will kill this girl."
The opponent's movement was so fast and the sword was so sharp that Zhang Ji broke into a cold sweat. He was shocked and was about to come to the rescue when he saw Xiao Ruo yelling loudly: "You old bastard, I think you are I'm tired of living, how dare you treat an official like this!"
Taoist priest Xuanhe replied: "Hmph! Where did the official mission come from? I think it is clearly the work of the devil's sect! If I hadn't been more careful, why wouldn't I have succeeded as well as you two?"
Zhang Ji secretly complained. It seemed that he had really underestimated Taoist Xuanhe. He thought about it for a moment, quietly tore off the strip of cloth on his sleeve, held it in his hand and flicked it out. He heard the sound of gold and iron intersecting, With a "dang" sound, Taoist Master Xuanhe let go of his sword.
Good Xuanhe, although his right arm was numb from the shock, he turned around and raised his left arm to hold the hilt of the sword again.
Xiaoruo took the opportunity to turn around and escape from the sword, and then went to fight the leader Liu.
Taoist priest Xuanhe shouted, raised his sword with his left arm and stabbed Zhang Ji nine times in a row. The cold light passed by with sword energy flowing horizontally, and Zhang Ji dodged sideways. When Xuanhe saw that he missed the target, he changed his sword to his right hand and made a sword technique to fight Zhang Ji. The sword technique he used was the authentic Qingcheng School swordsmanship.
The fog was thick, and Zhang Ji could only vaguely see the figures of Xiaoruo and Xiaoruo fighting each other a few steps away. The sounds of fighting and shouting could also be heard from afar on the main ship. It was obvious that the fight was getting more intense, and he was worried that everyone would not be able to defeat Shang. Jiutian was even more anxious.
Taoist priest Xuanhe used the long sword in his hand to use the Qingcheng sect's unique swordsmanship, and in a blink of an eye, he had already made more than ten moves. Zhang Ji just ducked, and after a few more moves, he saw the opportunity and kicked away the long sword in Taoist priest Xuanhe's hand. Sword, he turned around and stretched out his right arm to clamp Xuanhe from under his ribs. With a little force, Taoist Xuanhe found it difficult to breathe. He couldn't help kicking his feet and yelling curses. With another exertion, Taoist Master Xuanhe fainted and could not move.
Next to him, Master Liu heard that Taoist Master Xuanhe had not moved and thought he had been killed. He lost confidence in his heart and his moves were in a mess. He was caught by Xiaoruo within three moves. Xiao Ruo held his life gate with his hand and shouted: "Quickly order to move to the main ship!"
Captain Liu was quite courageous. He took a sip and cursed: "Shameless devil, no matter how powerful you are in martial arts, you can never force me to submit."
Xiao Ruo exerted force on his wrist, causing Captain Liu to feel pain immediately. He still gritted his teeth and refused to give in. Xiao Ruo asked anxiously: "Are you listening or not?" He kicked his right leg and broke it, causing him to tremble like chaff from the pain. He closed his eyes tightly and raised his head without saying a word.
At this time, seven or eight Haisha Gang disciples had heard the news and came to help in the battle. In the hazy fog, they could vaguely see the helmsman in charge being restrained, and they all drew their swords and were eager to try.
Seeing that he was so strong-willed, Zhang Ji couldn't bear to humiliate him any more. Just as he was careless, Xiao Ruo said again: "Except for this Niubi, all the children on this boat are from your Haisha Gang. Okay, from now on, I'll be here every day." I say 'pass by the boat' once, and if you don't obey, I will ask this good man to kill one of your descendants. If I say it ten times and you still don't listen, we will kill ten people. I want to see what happens. You have hard bones, but you still have a hard heart!”
Leader Liu had already seen how powerful Zhang Ji was. At this moment, even Taoist Master Xuanhe, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was no match. He was afraid that the two of them would keep their word and kill their disciples, so he hesitated for a while.
Xiao Ruo said again: "You only need to give the order to move forward at full speed and be sure to overtake the main ship. When the two ships miss each other, we will take the opportunity to jump over." After hearing this, Captain Liu couldn't help but sigh and said: " That’s all!”
Xiaoruo felt slightly proud, but she was afraid that he would use tricks, so she just relaxed her strength slightly but did not let go. Captain Liu stood up unsteadily and forcefully, and then Xiao Ruo let go and let him pass the order.
After a while, everyone got the order to turn the giant sail and speed up towards the main ship.
The heavy fog dissipated slightly, and because he was close to the main ship, Zhang Jiji looked around and faintly saw the huge sail tower of the main ship, and thought to himself: "I will definitely not let this devil go today."
The distance between the two ships was about a hundred feet, and the giant ship rushed into the fog again, making it impossible to see. Amidst the sound of the waves, he could hear the sounds of swords clashing and shouting and fighting. Zhang Ji was not sure whether Chu Jianghan was involved, and he couldn't help but become nervous. .
Not long after, they were within fifty or sixty feet, and despite the sound of the roaring waves, Zhang Ji heard that Chu Jianghan had not made any move, and felt a little happy. He also heard that Shang Jiutian was making moves, and many people were seriously injured, and he became anxious again. .
When he caught up with the main ship and was about ten feet away, Zhang Jizheng wanted to ask Xiao Ruo to get on the main ship, but he couldn't help but became angry: Taoist priest Xuan He woke up at this moment and picked up his sword to stab Xiao Ruo.
Zhang Ji was preoccupied with the distance between the two ships, wondering whether he could take Xiaoruo to the main ship in one leap. But just when he was about to rescue him, it was too late.
Xiaoruo dodged three swords in a row. Taoist Master Xuanhe was very good at swordsmanship. By the fourth sword, he could no longer dodge. Seeing that he was about to be hit by a sword in the chest, Taoist Master Xuanhe suddenly put away his sword and stretched out his left hand to touch Xiaoruo's acupuncture points. , pinched his ribs, and jumped up to the second floor cabin.
Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and jumped after him. Unexpectedly, Taoist Master Xuanhe's Qinggong was still superior to him. Even though he had Xiaoruo under his ribs, his movement was unexpectedly fast. He jumped up and down several times, but Zhang Ji couldn't catch up.
The fog was still thick, and I couldn't see far. I listened carefully and realized that the big ship had already sailed ahead because it was moving at full speed, leaving the main ship four to fifty feet away. At this distance, even a Daluo Jinxian would not be able to jump over it. .
The fight on the main ship on the other side became more intense, and Shang Jiutian laughed wildly again.
As soon as the good opportunity was missed, Zhang Ji chased after him in anger. Taoist priest Xuanhe crossed over to the middle main sail with Xiaoruo on his back. He looked extremely proud and said: "Evil thief, no matter how deep your inner strength is, you can never catch up with me. If you are wise, quickly cut off your meridians, otherwise I will really kill her." He said and stabbed Xiaoruo with his sword.
Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and hummed again, jumped under the mast, raised his hand and gave it a palm. The ship swayed, and there was only a "click" sound, and the huge mast broke from the root and moved backward.
On the giant sail, Taoist Xuanhe was so frightened that he jumped off the deck with Xiao Ruo in his arms. Just as he stood still, Zhang Ji caught the sword with his palm. He raised his left arm and caught it forcefully, and was blown away with a "bang".
Zhang Ji rushed forward and reached out to catch Xiaoruo. While still angry, he hurriedly used his kung fu to open Xiaoruo's acupuncture points. When he checked carefully, he found that there was only a slight cut under the left rib. He just raised his sword to scare himself, not really wanting to kill Xiaoruo, and then his anger gradually dropped.
Turning back again, the ship had already rushed a hundred feet in front of the main ship. How could it jump to the main ship at this distance? Thinking of this section, I just sighed.
After a long time, Taoist priest Xuanhe got up with blood in his mouth. Zhang Ji couldn't bear it and secretly regretted that he had acted too harshly.
Xiao Ruo scolded: "Old bastard, what are you asking me to say about you!" After saying that, he walked forward and took out a few pills from his arms to feed him. He opened Xiaoruo, but he couldn't even lift his arm, and stared at Xiaoruo like a knife. Xiaoruo pinched his mouth open and force-fed a few pills.
Zhang Ji sighed, walked over and tapped a few acupoints for him, and said, "I'm sorry!"
