A man stood up and shouted: "Fang Cunde, Ma Fengzhong, you guys, the minions of the Dragon Slaying Association, don't worry about doing evil yourself, but you also drag me and other brothers and friends to do evil together. If you still have a little bit of conscience that has not been wiped out. , kill yourself quickly to apologize for your crime, and to comfort these heroes who were innocently deceived and harmed."
Fang Cunde laughed and said: "It's a joke to kill yourself to apologize for your crime! It's true that Zuo Tuming, Duguyou, and Dong Xiaowan are bad people. It's true that you want to destroy them to gain fame and profit for yourself, and you are willing to besiege them. Why do you want to pull you away?" Speaking of evil. To say you are guilty is just that you ignored the laws of the country, abused lynching in the name of doing justice for heaven, and used evil to fight evil. If you have true conscience, leave quickly and don't do evil. The matter must be called a chivalrous hero."
What is a knight? A traveler who enjoys helping others everywhere.
What is a hero? A person who has outstanding intelligence and courage and can rely on the power to dominate the country.
He calls himself both a hero and a chivalrous man, so he naturally wants to rely on the power of the people to go on a rampage, eliminate evil and make a difference.
All the heroes drew their weapons and surrounded Fang Cunde, Ma Fengzhong and other scum. If most of them were not injured, and if Fang Cunde and others were slightly afraid of the martial arts, Baobuqi would have been fighting together, and blood would have flowed. maybe.
Mei Ruocheng raised his hands to everyone around him and said loudly: "Dear friends in the world, our brothers were previously forced by the Dragon Slayer Society, succumbed to their lust, and became their hawks and dogs. Although the evil is not deep, we are still in darkness from now on. I have earned the reputation of evil heretic, and I regret it. If you are willing to give our brothers a chance to abandon evil and become good, you will hand over these treacherous people such as Fang Cunde and Ma Fengzhong to our brothers, so as to encourage our brothers to return to the world. Determination of the righteous path of martial arts.”
Some of the people present here have learned some martial arts and traveled around; some talk about loyalty and use righteousness to spread wealth; some are anxious for people's difficulties and always believe in their words; some help the strong and the weak and uphold justice; some love to erect powerful weapons. Flag, walk the way for heaven.
He likes to call himself a knight and a hero.
Sometimes according to the needs of their own development, they do things to benefit the weak, such as killing the rich and helping the poor, such as drawing a sword to help when they see injustice on the road. But its essence is that it rarely escapes the use of force to break the ban and falls into the annals of history. It can only have two identities, a lone vigilante or a local powerful. Their behavior only represents private individuals, and all they can hold is benevolence or righteousness. They are separated from the officialdom and cannot possess law, morality, or governance.
Today, we are led by others to gather here, but we are just using it to do justice for heaven and punish the evil of others with our own evil. If you have the heart to do evil without reason, you will have unreasonable hatred, right and wrong, all in the world. If the net can be opened to one side, the clouds will be calm and the wind will be light, and the beauty of adulthood will be achieved.
A man replied loudly: "Since you have not done much evil and still have the heart to repent, I and other righteous friends in the world of martial arts welcome you. Please!"
All the heroes followed, cupped their hands and said, "Please!" and stepped aside.
Mei Ruocheng and others returned the favor with cupped hands and fists: "Thank you very much!"
Seeing this, Fang Cunde knew that his end was approaching and his death was not far away. Thinking about what happened today, the reason why I failed and failed was all thanks to Mei Ruocheng. In order to have no need for revenge or grudge after his death, he wanted to kill Mei Ruocheng to relieve the hatred in his heart. Then he gave birth to heroic courage, hung up the hero's liver, and shouted: "Mei Ruocheng, you and I have no grudges in the past life and no enmity in this life. We have to decide life and death. There is no need to implicate others. If you are a hero or a good man, let's come one-on-one. If we are on our side, If someone is not as skilled as others, it is not a pity to die."
Since Mei Ruocheng joined the Dragon Slaying Association, he has covered his head with a black cloth and is neither a human nor a ghost. He is no longer a hero. There is no need to deal with Fang Cunde's idea of "wanting to support others even when death is imminent". But today is a great day to witness them abandon darkness and turn to light, change their evil ways and return to the right path. Thinking that in the future they will return to the right path, and those brothers and friends behind them will regard themselves as knights and heroes, how could Mei Ruocheng easily miss such an excellent opportunity to create a beautiful reputation.
Ignoring the objections of his brothers, he pulled out the sword from his waist, stepped forward and said loudly: "Fang Cunde, a hero and a good man, does not rely on his words, but on his words and deeds. You will die today." But I want to be a hero again, so I shouldn't help you. But I think of what Master Akechi said, I am not a government official, and I am not a copycat, and I have no right to decide a person's life or death. Since you choose to duel with me, then That’s fine, I’m very happy.”
After listening to Mei Ruocheng's words, Fang Cunde realized that being smart had cost him his life, and his lungs almost exploded with anger. But once a word is said, it is difficult to follow it, so how can it be changed at this juncture? He showed his weapon, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Mei Ruocheng, stop talking nonsense, see the real seal on the weapon, and fight for life or death."
Mei Ruocheng raised his sword, raised his hands and cupped his fists and said, "Please!" He did not lose the etiquette and grace that a gentleman should have in a competition.
Fang Cunde only wanted to kill people, and there was no need to consider etiquette or grace. One sword grabs the power and goes straight to the middle gate.
Mei Ruocheng swung his body, dodged the edge of the sword, and struck forward with the sword, hitting Fang Cunde's right armpit.
Fang Cunde took a step forward with his right foot to the left, retracted his sword and drew it out in an instant. As soon as his right foot settled on the ground, the blade of the sword was already slashing at Mei Ruocheng's neck from left to right. He thought to himself, if Mei Ruocheng couldn't crouch down to dodge along the edge of his sword, it would be inevitable that his body and head would be separated.
With this idea, he will have a countermeasure. How can Mei Ruocheng follow Fang Cunde's wishes.
I saw him taking a big step to the left along the edge of Fang Cunde's sword. At the same time, he channeled his inner strength into his palm and returned the sword to deflect Fang Cunde's slashing sword. Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, taking advantage of the rebound of the sword body, the tip of the sword sank down and slashed towards Fang Cunde's right arm holding the sword. He switched between defense and offense in an instant, in one go, making it difficult for people to guard against.
Fang Cunde had thought about his next move in advance, but he didn't expect that Mei Ruocheng was a master who didn't follow the routine. He was disappointed. Although he evaded in time and kept his arm from falling, it also left a deep sword mark. . I must have broken a few meridians on my arm, seeing how the bleeding stopped after a while.
Mei Ruocheng succeeded in one move and stabbed Fang Cunde in the waist with his sword. Although his aura was powerful, it was a feint to lure the enemy.
Fang Cunde lost a move and was already angry. Seeing that Mei Ruocheng's sword was full of flaws, he thought it was the perfect opportunity to turn defeat into victory. He dodged the tip of the sword and slashed at Mei Ruocheng's sword-holding arm with all his strength, trying to cut off Mei Ruocheng's right hand to determine the winner.
Unexpectedly, Mei Ruocheng walked in with him, picked up the tip of his sword halfway, and stabbed his arm. Fang Cunde used too much force in his attack, and his arm was hurt again. He tried to stop it but was unable to do so. His arm was penetrated by the tip of Mei Ruocheng's sword, and the right hand holding the sword was useless.
Everyone present thought that Mei Ruocheng would take advantage of the victory to attack, but then killed Fang Cunde with a sword, but it backfired. Except for those brought by Mei Ruocheng, everyone was disappointed. What he saw was Mei Ruocheng retracting his sword and jumping out of the battle circle, giving Fang Cunde a chance to heal and bandage himself.
A man seemed to have friends and brothers who had died in the previous fight. He stepped forward in confusion and angrily said: "Mei Ruocheng, look, there are so many people dead on the ground. Fang Cunde has committed an unforgivable crime. Why are you Don’t you just take his life to comfort the souls of the deceased?”
Mei Ruocheng looked solemn and asked: "My friend, can you allow me to ask you a few questions?"
Seeing Mei Ruocheng's polite words, the man couldn't help but extinguish some of his anger and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Mei Ruocheng asked: "Are you not a government official?"
The man asked himself whether he was right, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
Mei Ruocheng then asked: "Is this small valley not a mountain village recognized by the imperial court?"
This valley is unremarkable and uninhabited. If there hadn't been a feud today, everyone would have passed by it and never thought of it again.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Mei Ruocheng said loudly: "Brothers and friends, we are not a government official, nor are we a fortress approved by the imperial court. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, we do not have the power of life and death over other people's lives, so how can we easily rob other people's lives? ." Seeing that everyone was silent, he continued: "It is an indisputable fact that Fang Cunde, Ma Fengzhong and other evildoers have done many evil things. If they harm the people, they should be punished by the laws of the Song Dynasty; if they harm their fellow Jianghu, they should be punished by the justice of the martial arts. Judgment. No matter what, they will not escape death, so why should we abuse lynching and establish an unhealthy trend in society!"
The man felt that what Mei Ruocheng said was reasonable and asked loudly: "Master Mei, what do you think we should do next?"
Mei Ruocheng glanced at Fang Cunde, Ma Fengzhong and others, and replied: "Fellow comrades in the martial arts world, in my opinion, Mei Ruocheng, capture these evildoers and escort them to Justice Villa, and wait until the day of the martial arts conference to let them accept martial arts justice. Even if they are to be cut to pieces by a thousand swords, they will get what they deserve and die without any complaints."
Mei Guoqing stood up and said loudly: "Fellow Jianghu comrades, the reason why the imperial court cannot tolerate Jianghu people like me is simply because I and other Jianghu friends have always acted with little regard for the court's laws, and are suspected of being in conflict with the imperial court. This time The Wulin Alliance is coming soon, with the intention of electing the leader of the Wulin Alliance to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Association. Whether the Wulin Conference can be successfully held and concluded successfully depends on the approval of the imperial court. Why not let the imperial court know with our words and deeds from today on, I When our colleagues in the martial arts gather together this time, they only want to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society, which is causing harm to the country and the people. We have no other evil intentions and will do our best to make the Wulin Alliance a complete success."
The heroes present heard this and all agreed, loudly replying: "Every word and deed is just to make every effort to make the Wulin Alliance a complete success."
Mei Ruocheng raised his hand to everyone, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Thank you for putting aside your personal grudges and serving the public wholeheartedly."
All the heroes returned the favor, and the scene was harmonious.
Mei Ruocheng turned to Ma Fengzhong and others and said: "Ma Fengzhong, do you want to surrender voluntarily, or do you want me to lead people to force the surrender by force."
Ma Fengzhong thought to himself, Zuo Tuming, Duguyou and others gained a chance to survive because they fought to the end. Why don't I follow suit? If not, I may have good luck. Maybe reinforcements are on the way. So he drew his sword and said loudly to the comrades beside him: "Brothers, my fate is up to me, and it will take hundreds of millions of years to return the elixir to gold. Hold the sword in your hands and fight a bloody path. If you don't protect everything, Reinforcements are on the way."
Those like-minded people think that death is inevitable anyway. Instead of dying on the court of justice, it is better to die on the journey of struggle. At least life and death can be decided by oneself, and there is no need to rely on others. So he drew his sword and jumped towards the heroes of the world, with the face of a desperado, making him look like a hero at first glance, but a devil at closer inspection.
