Outside Lousang Village, a river of blood flowed.
Corpses were scattered incompletely, with limbs broken, heads and bodies separated, or split apart. There were extremely obvious 'claw marks' on their bodies. They were all killed with one blow, without any unnecessary pain.
In this bloody crowd, a figure stood calmly, motionless as a mountain. From beginning to end, it never took a step or wavered for a moment, creating this terrifying environment with its own hands.
Hundreds of enemies.
This young man who came all the way proved himself with his domineering strength, which made everyone lose their voice and fear, and they kept retreating and did not dare to step forward.
"I already have five taels of silver, but it's a pity that I can't get enough here."
Suddenly, Xiang Ji opened his mouth, still as calm and calm, with a long breath, as if nothing was wasted in the battle just now, and he was relaxed and happy.
This sentence sounds confusing, but the bandits are shocked and angry. They naturally understand what this sentence means. Previously, the Zhuo County government issued a killing order, and one bandit was worth one hundred coins. Now that fifty people have died, it is naturally five taels of silver.
By doing this, he obviously wanted to catch them all with one person!
It can no longer be described as arrogant, but arrogant, naked arrogance!
"The reason why he stood still was because he used a means of leveraging force. The restriction was that he could not move while grounded. Judging from the potholes under his feet, 70% of it was probably that he vented part of his strength under his feet, and 30% It may be that the force is counterattacked, which is somewhat similar to the Tai Chi harmony and mutual transformation of the two poles proposed in the Baijia period."
After watching for so long, the leader of the third village finally spoke up. Based on various performances, he roughly guessed the role of Kunshan Jin. This was also the reason why he had not taken the initiative to take action.
Those bandits are just consumables like leeks. Once they die, they will be recruited again. As long as they can find out information about the enemy for them, it is worth dying.
"As long as you see the way, I will send the remaining people to surround him and give him a chance to release his strength. When the time comes, I will directly attack and kill him. You can adapt accordingly."
The leader of the Fourth Village dragged the five-ringed sword forward and shouted, "Brothers, come with me. He has exhausted most of his strength. He is just a strong man but a weak man. The leader of the house will issue a regulation now. As long as this person is injured, The person who picks off the head will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver and promoted to be the leader!"
Xiaozhi used his feelings to treat himself and his subordinates, moved them for profit, and rewarded them with money and promotions. With this two-pronged approach, the greed of the gangsters was mobilized, and the fear that had just arisen was suppressed again, and they became accustomed to the knife edge. In the days of licking blood, they had long put their interests before life and death. Why couldn't the one who survived be themselves?
Give it a try!
All of a sudden, the remaining dozens of bandits surrounded him with heavy breathing, howling and taking action together with the leaders of the four villages. In their opinion, they could not defeat Xiang Ji, let alone kill him, but they were not To do this, just get hurt! Even if it only leaves a small, shallow scar, you can get five taels of silver, why not fight for it? It’s not a huge difference, there is always a chance!
"Wealth touches people's hearts, but it's a pity that no matter how much money you throw away, it's meaningless, it will all be mine."
Xiang Ji looked on coldly, his arms slowly behind his back, his fingers curled tightly, his back arched and his chest held, and he assumed the stance of the Eagle Claw Technique. His eyes suddenly became sharp, like an eagle about to prey. Everyone present was interested. It's his prey.
clang! Ten gangsters rushed straight towards them, and all the weapons in their hands were swept down. Only a harsh trembling was heard, and then an 'eagle claw' was lifted up, and the wooden handle of the knife was broken in the air, and the knuckles pinched Peck, directly penetrated the bandit's throat, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl. Other weapons came at him, but he didn't even look at it, letting them chop out sparks on the three-inch thick leather armor. , clanging incessantly.
Some people fell to the ground, some came forward, Xiang Ji was overwhelmed by more and more figures. There were only two hands between you and me. Naturally, it was impossible to block all the moves. There were always some marks left on the horny armor, with a faint glow. of white, but unfortunately it still failed to break through the defense.
"Damn it, even if you leave a mark, here is five taels of silver, keep it up for me!" But the leader of the fourth village did not stop bewitching him for a moment, he took out five taels of silver and flicked it, and it fell into the arms of the bandit. In practice, practice what you preach.
"Kill! For the money!"
"There are only five taels left, come on!"
This scene naturally made the remaining bandits even crazier and launched a desperate attack. Even the people behind them slashed at the companions in front of them with red eyes, just because they blocked the road and the money!
The scene was extremely chaotic, but the leader of the fourth village smiled, connected with his feet, and shuttled through the gaps in the crowd like a ghost, constantly approaching, coldly attacking, leaving scars of varying depths on Xiang Ji's film coat. He knew that to deal with this kind of The most difficult way to break through force is to use strength to break through. In addition, the simplest way to crack it should be to launch attacks at a faster speed and frequency.
The so-called borrowing power, whether it is the strength of the limbs or the power flowing in the body, must have a process of receiving, transmitting and returning. This takes time. If the previous wave of power transfer is completed, it will If a second wave of power hits, the transfer steps will be disrupted, and the skill will naturally be broken.
Zheng!
When Xiang Ji once again used the power of Kunshan to defeat everyone's offensive, and then counterattacked with the power of thunder, the sound of swords resounded for a moment, as if a tiger was roaring, roaring in the forest, and rushing down the mountain.
Amidst the sound of jingling golden rings, the four village leaders seized this opportunity to attack. They wanted to kill them with one strike when the 'flaw' appeared. The broadsword slashed to the left in the air. When it reached a point of exhaustion, At this moment, it turned over and cut to the right and downwards, incorporating the power of a twist and the strong wind. It was exactly the "Tiger Descending the Mountain" in the Five Tigers Cutting the Door Knife!
Facing this menacing blow, Xiang Ji seemed not to notice it, and casually smashed the throat of a bandit next to him, then turned his head and took action slowly.
Invisibly, the arm began to turn red, and continued to expand under the promotion of the body and mind method of Lord Jiang III. Like the thick arm of the statue of King Fudo, it raised with the sound of rushing blood, very slowly, very slowly .
This speed made him look very casual. He just slowly stretched out his right hand, but suddenly appeared in front of the five-ring golden sword, and then flicked his fingers.
boom!
It was as if the surface of the lake was rippled, a long space of energy exploded into pieces, and the five golden rings shattered into debris all over the sky. Xiang Ji's finger remained unabated, poking at the tip of the knife.
Click! Without any suffocation, under the horrified gazes of the Four Village Leaders, the rare five-ring golden sword in his hand began to shatter from the tip, and the martial artist-level body protection and leather armor were also shattered. , blood continued to spill along the wound, making him feel cold in his heart.
At the same time, an unimaginable force was transmitted, and with just a slap of the thick arm, his whole body felt like it was struck by thunder, and he flew out like a meteor.
puff!
Spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air, the leader of the Fourth Village flew seven or eight feet away and fell into a puddle at the entrance of Lousang Village. His bones crackled and he didn't know how many bones were broken, and his face showed a look of pain.
Silence in all directions!
Many Lousang Village, and even the bandits and bandits who were besieging them, stared wide-eyed. A thick-iron knife was broken into pieces by just one finger. What kind of amazing physique and strong skin is required for this? To be able to do it?
What's more, the leader of the fourth village, who was a martial artist, was defeated with just one move. He vomited blood and couldn't even stand up.
"That's enough!" At this moment, the leader of the third village couldn't stand it any longer. He rushed out from behind and slashed left and right with his two swords. There was a faint 'powder' floating in the sharp blades. It was poison. Fen, he himself had already had the antidote in his mouth. At this moment, the two swords moved forward, and the strong wind blew the poisonous mist and rushed in front of Xiang Ji.
Then, his body moved with the fog, and all his strength was poured into his two sharp swords. The sound of the rushing river came out of his arms, and they suddenly swelled up. Under the not-dazzling morning sun, they looked like the arms of a giant spirit god. The beating of the drums produced dazzling light and shadow, and the big knife wrapped around the body and walked away. The speed of the knife was extraordinary, making the remaining dozen bandits feel pain in their cheeks.
Giant spirit blood, this is a second level martial artist!
Facing the poisonous mist and the menacing "Double Spirit Sword" coming towards him, Xiang Ji sneered, swung his arms up and down, and then shot out in the air, and the strong wind blew over the poisonous mist. , the left palm shot out, the right palm followed quickly, the left palm was retracted, and added to the palm force of the right palm, his three consecutive palms were like three waves, the back wave pushed the front wave, and the force was all the same. The power of his single palm was three times greater than that of his single palm. It was the "Triple Waves of the Yangtze River" created on the Zhuojiang River!
In an instant, with a wave of palm power, the giant spirit's blood surged, and three waves of ups and downs directly dispersed the poisonous mist, and faced the 'double sword of the giant spirit' that was coming.
clang!
No one present could see clearly what kind of palm he was using or what move he was using. They just heard two sonorous explosions in their ears, and the leader of the third village who used the double swords had already fallen out and rolled on the ground for a long time. After eight laps, I coughed repeatedly and struggled several times but couldn't get up.
The two pig-killing knives were scattered, one was inserted under his feet, and the other fell in front of the four village leaders in the swamp.
At this moment, the two martial arts masters no longer had the calmness and arrogance they had at the beginning. Instead, they were left with unbelievable horror and horror.
All ambitions, arrogance and anger were wiped out.
The fame and prestige I had enjoyed for most of my life have become stepping stones today.
This simply devastated them.
"One move, another move!"
At this moment, a large number of villagers had gathered at the entrance of Lousang Village, including Mr. Wang, Aunt Luo, Aunt Li, Tiejiang Liu, etc. They all exclaimed in surprise when they witnessed this scene.
That was the Second Pass martial artist, the former second in command of the Hungry Wolf Village and now the leader of the Third Village. He couldn't even block a single move and was knocked down on the spot!
"What kind of trick is this?" The leader of the third village endured the pain and took out a ginseng stick and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and then swallowed it. He picked up the knife beside his feet and used his inner strength to heal the injury, and finally stood up.
He didn't understand. This move was unheard of. How could he lose in a daze? He didn't even take a single move. How could this be possible when they were both second level martial arts masters?
"The Three Waves of the Yangtze River, a move I created myself." Xiang Ji said lightly, but he didn't intend to give him time to recover. Kunshan Jin restrained himself, and Zhenlei Jin took its place and spurted out from the two orifices under his feet, driving the whole body forward. He ran around and arrived in front of the leader of the third village in one leap.
No, it didn't delay the success... The leader of the third village felt cold in his heart and complained secretly, but he only had time to raise his arm to push the knife, bulging all the skin on his body, and his arms swelled and boiled with the blood of the giant spirit. He tried his best to resist, but all he saw was When the palm shadow was in front of him and swayed left and right, it transformed into a series of afterimages, and then quickly gathered into a thick giant hand, clenched it and turned into a violent blow to the head!
Suddenly, this thumping force suddenly exploded like thunder in the sky, moving like thunder!
Boom!
The twin swords, the giant spirit blood and the leather armor were all broken on the spot under this blow. The sound of cracking bones was extremely harsh. Everyone could clearly see that the arms of the three village masters were on Xiang Ji's body. It was completely shriveled and twisted under one punch, and the butcher's knife was broken on the spot. I could only despair, watching the fallen fist press on my head, my eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and a hole as big as a sandbag was made. Hole.
Hey! ! ! As Xiang Ji suddenly exerted force, exhaled and opened and closed, the big hand suddenly swelled, and the sound of blood boiling came from under the skin.
Move the river! Move the river! The giant spirit is ferocious!
The next moment, the fist on the top of the martial artist's head was smashed down. The terrifying force pressed on the spot, and strings of blood spurted out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Mixed with nasal mucus, tears and serous fluid, they flew around, and his head was even more violent. As the pressure continued, the neck broke and sank, and the entire head was pressed into the chest, and the beating heart and slightly trembling internal organs were all crushed into a ball of flesh!
Then, Xiang Ji was seen twisting his waist, and his right leg was swung down through the air like a whip. It expanded rapidly under the wash of blood and became as thick as a big tree. He stepped on the ball of meat with a bang. It was slashed all the way from the chest, trampled through the vagina, the roots of the eggs collapsed and turned into a mass of liquid, and the martial artist's body was directly split into two halves from the middle by this leg, and the two incomplete parts The petal body swayed slightly, and then collapsed to the left and right sides.
An Erguan martial artist died just like that.
"Dead, dead? Run, run away!" The remaining thirteen bandits' livers and gallbladders were splitting, and their calves were twitching. They fell to the ground after running a few steps, and crawled forward using their hands and feet, as if fleeing. to avoid.
Even the leader of the fourth village lying in the mud looked desperate. The gap was too big. This must be a young strongman with a brilliant inheritance. He was either a child of a noble family or a famous sect. It is impossible for ordinary people to have such a physique. and foundation.
"Today, there are no two owners of Hungry Wolf Village, only bounty money."
Stepping on the fleshy mud, Xiang Ji came to the paralyzed leader of the fourth village, and slowly drew out his long knife. There were no moves or fancy tricks, it was just an ordinary downward slash, but it split open the four villages with a devastating effect. The leather armor coat outside the main body of the village wiped his neck with a pop.
The leader of the fourth village, the leader of the third village, and the two great martial arts masters of Hungry Wolf Village died outside Lousang Village.
The murderer will cross the river and the sea again, Chushan River!
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
Then, amidst the screams, the thirteen bandits could not escape, and were killed one by one. The bounty was fulfilled, and a hundred bandits sacrificed their lives to lead Xiang Ji. A profit of ten taels of silver came.
This is sacrificing the individual to fulfill the greater self, and the sincerity is touching. He decided to let the remaining bandits of Hungry Wolf Village show off and contribute their part.
"Brother Shanhe has been fighting so smoothly. He didn't even take out his sword. It's hard to figure out his strength."
Ade lamented that although he had become a warrior, the distance between the two had not narrowed, but was instead widening.
At this time, all the invading bandits were killed, and the villagers of Lousang Village naturally rushed out, cheering and thanking Xiang Ji for his rescue.
"Oh my god, I received news a few days ago. I heard that Master Shanhe became a martial artist, defeated giant whales and eliminated disasters, fought against Xue Toutuo in Zhuojiang Mingwang Temple, and created new moves. I thought it was an exaggerated rumor. I just found out today. It’s not an exaggeration, it’s clearly a part hidden and restrained!”
"Yes, this has clearly made him a martial artist in the second level. The difference between the first level and the status is completely different. Now he has killed hundreds of people in a row and killed two stronghold masters. It has really undergone earth-shaking changes!"
"Master Shanhe, I really trouble you to come to the rescue this time. I and other people in Lousang Village are very grateful. Please pay homage to me."
With that said, all the villagers bowed and thanked Xiang Ji. No matter why Xiang Ji came here, it was true that he saved them after all. Otherwise, if the bandits rushed in, no one could stop them. By then, there would still be a few people in the village. It’s hard to tell even a living person.
"You don't need to be so solemn. I received the kindness of the village earlier. Now I'm in trouble, and I have grudges with Hungry Wolf Village and Disaster Relief Building. I should come back for both public and private reasons. It's the right thing to do." Xiang Ji waved his hand. , helped Mr. Wang up and smiled.
Sometimes, there are not so many causes and consequences. Some things can be done if you want to do it. It is very simple.
"When I was attending the banquet earlier, the county magistrate invited the descendants of Lu's Academy and the great scholar Lu Zhi to come and help, and the chaos was not far away."
Dr. Huang also came with Ade and briefly described the situation to appease the people.
"That's good, that's good. My chickens have been hungry all day and they don't even crow at noon."
"It's the same at my house. All the clothes have been saved and not washed. Now I can pack them away with peace of mind."
"Hey, I haven't even had a sip of the northwest wind yet. I've lived for another day. I need to put some thin rice in to make a bowl of porridge when I go back to nourish myself."
After receiving reliable news, the villagers of Lousang Village immediately felt relieved and returned to the village chatting and laughing.
What they pay attention to is the simple life that the big shots never see, as humble as dust, but as dense as sand.
"Master Shanhe, you have killed two village masters now. The remaining dragon heads and disaster relief buildings are not easy to deal with. They are all famous masters. They were the former masters of the village, now the 'Canglang Wangyue·Jiang Wugong', and the original ones. The man who ambushed the county magistrate was also recruited to help him. They were martial arts masters from the third level and the fourth level. It is said that there is also a mysterious master sent by the disaster relief building. According to my guess, it is probably one The Wu Guan martial artist who is capable of confronting the county magistrate head-on has great external skills and strong energy.
With your current strength, if you can go to support the county magistrate, it will be a big help. But actually I don't recommend it. It's too dangerous there. When the martial arts masters of the third pass and the martial masters of the fourth pass fight, the power has changed qualitatively. It's not difficult to blow up a house or crush a stone lion. You also know that the energy of a great external skill can take shape. It's still too dangerous to get hurt if you rub it. You are still young and have unlimited possibilities, so there is no need to rush. "
Mr. Wang invited them into the mansion as usual and informed them of the current situation.
All this information was learned from the county captain Wang Qian, and he never concealed the relationship between the two. They were considered different branches of the same clan. The main line of the Wang family was not actually in Zhuo County.
Nowadays, the main force of the Hungry Wolf Village and the killers of the Disaster Relief Building are fighting head-on with the county magistrate and Lu's Academy. Naturally, the troops that have been divided cannot have much strength. The two masters of the martial arts village have already gone all out to lead the team.
They surrounded Lousang Village with the idea of threatening the county government and forcing them to separate their manpower and share the pressure of the frontal battlefield. Unexpectedly, when they met Xiang Ji, a fierce man who came back from the middle of the battle, they were wiped out directly. They lost all their ideas. significance.
"How good or bad it is can be known with just one hexagram."
Xiang Ji himself was inclined to help, so to be on the safe side, he still touched the life-changing diagram in his mind to predict the fortune.
Immediately, the lifespan was reduced by another day, leaving only two years and 326 days. This was the additional year of lifespan after achieving the second level, and the hexagram was also revealed:
Xia Kun and Shang Dui are called Zedi Cui (Cui hexagram), which means that people gather together, the water overflows and submerges the earth, and there are many people fighting with each other. Crisis is bound to be everywhere, so you must follow the heaven and appoint the virtuous.
Xiang said: A fish playing in the water is frightened by the net. It jumps over the dragon gate and transforms into a dragon. Three feet of willows hang golden threads. Thousands of peach blossoms show your ability.
[Ying hexagram: With one heart and one mind, we can rescue the poor and help those in danger.
Good luck - sending charcoal in the snow to fight for friendship, opportunities will come and the bottleneck will be opened, and the county will be famous as a dragon and tiger, and this name will be left on the first day of the month.
Fierce - Facing the martial arts masters of the Three Passes, fighting to the death with the disaster relief building, you will be assassinated wherever you go.
A secret: cyan quality·heroic appearance. 】
[Ni Gua: I look at the world with a cold eye and don’t care about what is right or wrong in the world.
Ji - If you sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight, you may be able to pick up some bargains. If you don't have much friendship, but you have three points, you can still become famous in a small way.
With no follow-up opportunity and martial arts enlightenment, the situation in Zhuoxian County deteriorated, the two sides were in a stalemate, the county magistrate was injured, and the troops were dispatched. After all, it could not be avoided.
A secret: cyan quality and chaos. 】
"In this way, we can understand its dangers and observe its interests, so that we can plan for the future."
Xiang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and unconsciously knocked on the armrest of the seat, gradually making a decision.
Meanwhile, Wolf Creek Village.
All the original villagers were gone, and all the bloody bandits were coming in and out of every house. They kept carrying arrows and stones, and gathered in the open space of the village to use them as a position to fight against the government troops.
Three figures stood side by side, watching all this, one of them was the former Tu Hongyan; the second figure had a slightly stooped back, eyes like wolves, and a waning moon engraved on the chest pattern of his clothes; the third figure was covered by a black robe Covered, only five golden lines appeared on his chest to show his identity.
Three miles outside the village, the county government troops and horses have gathered to form the Crane Wing Formation. Eighty percent of the policemen have been dispatched, leaving only some people to garrison the government office. Many people from the Jianghu area have also been recruited. These people have never been integrated into the formation. Instead, they spread out according to their own habits and waited for opportunities.
"Cut down the rebellion! Suppress the bandits! Suppress the bandits! There can only be one voice in Zhuoxian County. Those who rebel and cause trouble shall die!"
The army marched out. The county magistrate was dressed in military uniform, wearing iron armor and a battle helmet. He was holding a large tree as long as a person in his hand. The black light was shining and the cold was oppressive.
Behind him, Wang Qian, the captain of the Sanguan Martial Arts County, bent his bow and set an arrow. The master of the Lu family was bare-handed. Gao You and Lu Ping each wore leather armor, held iron shields, and carried a standard war spear in their hands, ready to go.
kill!
Following his order, hundreds of people immediately took steps towards Langxi Village, filling the sky with smoke and dust like a stormy sea.
For a time, even the air here became dull. There were no birds chirping, no dogs barking, and it was extremely depressing.
"Brother Xu, do you still want to watch this excitement? Could it be that you don't plan to return to Beijing?"
"The cycle of thousands of years, of division and recombination, cannot be broken and remains the same as before. No matter how many protagonists are changed, the script remains the same and the ending remains the same. I traveled around the world just to see if there is any hope of breaking the cycle. , now it seems that it may not be time yet.”
On the hilltop in the distance, there are two figures in brocade and jade robes watching, overlooking the game between the two sides.
It's just that they don't seem to belong to any party.
