At three o'clock in the day, the temperature of the sun is getting higher and higher, and Brother Hai's lips are getting more and more dry and cracked.
There was still no movement in the direction of the town entrance, and not a single sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Brother Hai subconsciously turned his head and glanced in the direction of the shop, but except for the cripple and the good girl, Wang Zhong was nowhere to be seen.
Brother Hai knew that Wang Zhong must have arrived at the position he had scouted at this moment, waiting for Yi Daoxian and the others to appear.
】
Brother Wang said that a good swordsman must be a good hunter, and a good hunter must be patient and remain calm at all times.
Brother Hai not only remained calm, but his heart gradually became colder. The great ranger Shali Fei, who he had full of expectations and thought would come to help, was still missing.
The appointment was made at three o'clock in the morning, and all the money I had left on me was given to him, but when the time came, he still hadn't appeared.
Although Brother Hai is simple, he is not stupid.
I still don't understand why.
Brother Hai knew he had been cheated.
Thinking of Wang Zhong's evaluation of Shali Fei over the past few days and his repeated reminders, Brother Hai couldn't help but feel a little guilty and regretful for not believing Wang Zhong.
Thinking of Wang Zhong's actions and deeds during these days, Brother Hai couldn't help but admire him.
The grace of a drop of water is repaid by a spring, and it helps me propose a marriage and teaches me my skills. In just a short period of time together, I don't know how much I have been taught.
When the Second Master was killed, no one dared to speak out or help. Wang Zhong also raised his sword and killed the Second Master's two companions.
Now, Yi Daoxian was about to arrive, and he was facing Wang Zhong together with him.
Wang Zhong could have left early, but he didn't.
After thinking about it, Brother Hai slowly recovered his thoughts and discarded these messy thoughts. The mourning platform gradually returned to clarity, and his eyes became firmer. He squinted and still looked towards the entrance of the town. He could no longer see anything in his eyes. Uneasiness and fear.
The sun is getting higher and higher, and the sound of howling wind is lingering in my ears.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves came from far and near.
Everyone in the town, including Brother Hai, looked towards the entrance.
On the roof, Wang Zhong, who had sharp ears and eyes and keen senses, stuck out half of his head and looked towards the entrance of the town.
A man wearing a sheepskin coat and a black scarf riding a tall horse appeared first at the entrance, followed by six or seven similarly dressed men.
"Hush!"
Seven or eight horses and seven or eight men all reined in their horses and stopped at the entrance of the town.
A human head was thrown out like garbage and landed on the slope leading into the town. It rolled around for more than ten times before being stopped.
"The boss!"
A middle-aged woman wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket and looking forward to her hair burst out with a cry of pain, ran out crying, knelt beside the man's head, and cried loudly!
"Head of the family! You died so miserably!"
The woman burst into tears, her face full of grief, but she looked at the swordsmen on horseback, but she didn't dare to say anything. She only turned to look at Brother Hai who was standing under the flagpole, and rushed over like crazy.
While rushing back, he shouted: "It's all you! It's you who killed the second master!"
"It was you who killed me as the head of the family!"
Before he could rush to Brother Hai, the lame man who had just grabbed his good sister dragged his lame leg and limped forward quickly. Without saying a word, he slashed there with a hand knife. On the woman's neck, the woman fainted on the spot.
The lame man dragged the woman's hand and pulled her aside like an animal, without saying a word the whole time.
Town residents on both sides of the entrance ramp hid in their homes, and children who used to play around in the town were locked in their homes early and were not allowed to go out.
No one dared to speak out, no one dared to accuse, and the town once again fell into an eerie silence.
There was only the sound of the wind and the sound of horses stamping their hooves and exhaling.
The man with a black scarf on his head stood up and dismounted, followed by several people behind him, who all stood up and dismounted.
The man with the black turban on his head was a swordsman. He was not as tall or as burly as the second master who died in Brother Hai's hands. His cheeks were thin, his face was covered with wind, frost and dust, and he had a pair of soap bars made of cowhide at his feet. Boots, the gold-handled steel knife on his waist was already in his hand. The knife was not out of its sheath, but the fierce murderous intent was already coming. In those slightly narrowed eyes, the gaze shot out was as sharp as a steel knife. .
The pressure fell on Brother Hai.
Brother Hai had also stood up, his hands hanging naturally on both sides of his thighs. He also narrowed his eyes at the group of strange swordsmen at the entrance of the town, and shouted loudly: "Yidao Xian, I killed your brother, if you have the ability, you can Come and kill me to avenge him!"
Everyone in the town was startled by Brother Hai's sudden words. Listening to the rich and majestic voice, which showed no fear at all, he sounded nothing like a half-grown child.
"If you don't have the ability, get out of here as soon as possible and go back to your doghouse. Don't embarrass yourself here! You'll save me from dirtying my knife!"
Brother Hai stood on the earth platform under the flagpole, his eyes fixed on Yidaoxian, with only one thought left in his mind.
"For my good sister! To survive!"
"you wanna die!"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice like a saw came from Yidaoxian's mouth. Looking at the high-spirited and flying young man standing under the flagpole, Yidaoxian's mind was filled with the blood of his brother, who had his throat cut with a knife. Flow-flowing scene.
Yidaoxian could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart, and took a step forward, striding towards Brother Hai.
It's only a few tens of meters, but only a hundred steps.
The blacksmith, who had already received the entrustment, did not go up to stop him like the original one and gave away his life in vain. He just looked at Brother Hai worriedly.
Seeing Yidaxian getting closer and closer, the hearts of all the residents of Shuangqi Town were in their throats.
Brother Hai's eyes were fixed on Yi Daoxian, and he stepped down the platform, took three more steps, steadied himself, and looked at Yi Daoxian, who was only a dozen steps away from him. The spiritual platform became clearer and clearer, and the true feeling in his body Qi began to circulate, and there was no more distracting thoughts in his mind. Only the Yidao Xian who was walking quickly in front of him was in his eyes.
When the two met three feet apart, Yi Daoxian stopped and looked at the boy in front of him. Looking at the childish face, even Yi Daoxian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Just such a half-grown kid killed his own brother?
Although my brother is not a first-class swordsman, he is still outstanding. Is it true that such a half-grown child killed him?
But at this moment, three muffled sounds came from the front left. The moment he heard the sound, the fairy child hole of the knife shrank, and he felt a strong threat. This was the keen sense brought by years of licking blood with the tip of the knife, almost At the same time, I couldn't see how Yi Daoxian's hand moved. I could only hear Cang Lang's dragon roar, and just like the light of Pi Lian's sword, he slashed at the oncoming black light with one strike.
But at this moment, Brother Hai in front of him focused his eyes, with a bright light shining in his eyes. He slightly curled his fingers, and in the sound of two crisp swords, Brother Hai's body had already shot out like a sharp arrow.
The sword was carried along with him, and the true energy in his body was activated to the extreme. Brother Hai's speed and strength were also increased to the extreme. The sword shone like a crescent moon and was as fast as lightning.
The people in the small town who were watching around saw the flash of the knife, and the two men passed by.
Before anyone could see what was happening, they heard the sound of beating horses.
"drive!"
Next to the lame man's shop, I saw a tall and burly man riding out of the horse. He was holding a long bow and carrying a quiver on his back. He had his feet on the stirrups and the long bow in his left hand. His right hand was like a welcome. Amidst the rapid sound of horse hooves and the continuous low banging sound, streaks of black light flew out from the burly man's hand like lightning.
But in a moment, four or five of the seven or eight men standing at the entrance of the town had fallen.
The remaining few were shocked and wanted to get on their horses subconsciously, but how could Wang Zhong give them this opportunity? He took out arrows and shot them as fast as lightning. In just one breath, he rode to the blacksmith's shop. The bag of feather arrows was mostly empty. Among the eight swordsmen who came with Yi Daoxian, only one reacted quickly and hid behind the horse. The other seven fell to the ground with feather arrows stuck in them, and became a corpse. corpse.
The horses were also frightened. They all raised their hooves and neighed in the sky. They ran away in all directions. There was a sudden chaos. The two swordsmen had already taken advantage of the chaos and ran out of the town. They got on the back of the horse and beat the horse at full speed. They wished they could give them more. The horse grows four more legs.
Wang Zhong wanted to catch up, but the entrance to the town was not very wide. The frightened horses scattered in all directions, some ran directly into the town, and some turned around and ran out.
Wang Zhong reined in his horse and stopped, with no intention of pursuing him. Instead, he pulled out the five-foot-long horizontal knife, dismounted, and walked step by step to the entrance of the town, striking each corpse one by one!
The Yi Daoxian in front of the flagpole had already been decapitated by Brother Hai. His head flew more than a meter away, and he fell to the ground with a thud, splashing countless dust. There was still a knife inserted into his right thigh. A feathered arrow.
The blood spurting out of the cavity dyed the whole body of Brother Brother, who was standing with the knife, red.
There was a pool of scarlet blood on the dusty ground, and the strong smell of blood filled the air.
On the ground not far from Brother Hai, all the arrowheads of a feathered arrow had been submerged into the ground, and the arrow body was still trembling. A little further away, there was another arrow lying on the ground with its body broken and broken, and its arrowhead also bent. The feathered arrow.
The One-Sword Immortal is indeed a One-Sword Immortal. One of Wang Zhong's three consecutive arrows was struck by him, and one of them was dodged sideways. If Brother Hai hadn't grasped the timing of the sword well enough and the speed of the sword was fast enough, the last arrow would have been killed. , it may not be possible yet.
And the last arrow is also the most fatal arrow. It is not aimed at killing Yi Daoxian, but simply to seal his movement. It is waiting for him there in advance. Even if the arrow misses, he will There is absolutely no way to avoid Brother Hai's lightning-fast knife.
"Brother Hai!"
The good girl shouted loudly, ran over happily, rushed directly into Brother Hao's arms, and hugged him tightly.
The lame man looked at this scene, with a long-lost smile on his old face, showing his big yellow teeth. He took out the tobacco rod inserted in his waist, took out the tobacco from the bag, poured it in and stuffed it, and took out the fire sickle from his pocket. After knocking a few times, sparks flew. When the tobacco was lit, the lame man immediately raised his hand and put the cigarette holder into his mouth, and took a big puff.
Then he blew out a big puff of smoke, as if all the grievances, frustrations, fears, worries and uneasiness accumulated in the past three or four days were mixed with the smoke and spit out.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves and shouts suddenly came from outside.
"Quicksand Corner!"
"Quicksand Corner!"
······
I saw a bald man riding a horse, brandishing a long knife, shouting all the way, and rushed into the town menacingly from the entrance of the town along the ramp.
He ran all the way to Brother Hai and his good sister, walked around in a circle, then reined in his horse and stopped, pretending to ask: "Where are the people? Where is the One-Sword Immortal?"
It was as if he had not seen the corpses on the ground at all, just like the headless Yidao Xian.
As soon as Shali Fei finished speaking, he saw a dark figure standing up in front of him. Before he could react, a bright and sharp sword light appeared on him. Sha Lifei wanted to block it, but the light was too fast.
Peng let out a muffled sound, and was unexpectedly cut in half with a knife. Shali Fei's relatively tall body was whipped away from the horse by the knife like a ball.
The long knife called Liusha Jiaofeng in his hand could no longer be held and fell out of his hand in mid-air.
After landing, the huge force caused him to roll twice in a row. He spat out a mouthful of blood and slid out for a long time before stopping. Shali Fei looked at the tall man standing in front of him with a horrified look on his face. He couldn't even think about it. Without thinking, he immediately got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing: "My hero, have mercy on me! My hero, have mercy on me..."
There was a burst of laughter, and then the somewhat familiar voice came into my ears.
"Eradicating violence and bringing peace to the good? Killing the rich and giving to the poor?"
"I think it's just pretentious and deceptive!"
"I'm cheating. Please spare my life, hero. I just want to cheat and spend some money..."
"You and I have no grievances, so why should I kill you?" Wang Zhong said tirelessly.
Shali Fei's kowtowing movement stopped abruptly, and a look of luck appeared on his face. In an instant, everything turned into fear, and he hurriedly continued kowtowing.
"Thank you so much, hero, for not killing me! Thank you so much, hero, for not killing me."
The pad of Wang Zhong's thumb scraped the blade of the horizontal knife in his hand. He didn't even look at Sha Lifei, and simply said: "If I don't kill you this time, I may not kill you in the future. If I find out in the future that you are cheating and defrauding people of their money." , then you won’t be so lucky!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhong turned around, walked to his horse, stepped on the saddle and turned over to meet the horse's back. He put the horizontal knife in his hand back into the sheath, grabbed the reins and said to Brother Hai and Sister: "From now on, you guys Let's live a good life together, Brother Hai, remember what I said to you, there is nothing wrong with being kind, but being too kind will only make people use your kindness as a weapon to hurt you!"
"I have said this. I have helped you so much, and I have repaid your kindness for saving my life and teaching you the skills. The fate between the two of us is also over. Don't let the pile skills and body skills I teach fall behind. Today's world is in chaos. Only when you are strong can you protect yourself, protect your sister, and live well!"
"The world is a long way from here, so let's just say goodbye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhong turned his horse's head and headed towards the entrance of the town.
"elder brother!"
"where did you go?"
Wang Zhong didn't answer, he just waved his hand with his back to Brother Hai and disappeared at the entrance of the town.
Brother Hai took his good sister's hand and stood side by side, watching Wang Zhong leave.
The lame man came over smoking a dry cigarette, patted Brother Hai on the shoulder, and said, "Wang Zhong is different from us. He is a man of great ability and will do great things in the future!"
Shali Fei cautiously walked up to Brother Hai, took out the short knife with a silver handle from his waist, offered it to him with trembling hands, and said with a hint of flattery in his voice: "Brother Hai, those things you gave me yesterday I gave the woman the money to pay back the store. The handle of this knife is made of silver. Can I just treat this knife as repaying the money you gave me yesterday?"
Brother Hai stared at Shali Fei quietly, with no intention of taking the dagger. Shali Fei had a look of fear on his face and begged him again and again: "Brother Hai, it's me who can't see Taishan. I'm blinded by lard." , I shouldn’t lie to you, it’s my fault! I apologize to you!”
Brother Hai reached out and took the short knife, still looking at Shali Fei, and said calmly: "If you let me know that you lie again, I will go find you without my brother taking action!"
Shali Fei's expression suddenly changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, never again!"
"Brother Hai, I'll leave first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shali Fei couldn't wait to turn around and run to the side of his mount, get on the horse, and ride away without looking back, for fear that Brother Hao would regret it and chop him with a knife.
Although Brother Hai killed Yi Dao Xian in large part because of Wang Zhong's help, Hai Ge's sword skills were so fast that Sha Lifei saw it with his own eyes just now on the mountain.
"Let's go home!" Brother Hai turned to the good girl next to him and said.
"Um!"
The good girl held Brother Hai's hand tightly and nodded heavily.
"Dad, let's go home!"
The newly married couple held the old lame man with only one leg on their arm. The three of them got into the small shop and closed the old wooden door. The good sister made a fire to boil water and gave the boy a bath. The lame man sat in the room and smoked.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The lame man went to open the door. Several townspeople stood outside. Two of them were holding the knives of the horse thieves. One person was holding a sheepskin jacket, and the other was holding a sword in his hand. That knife inlaid with gold. There were several people outside, each leading two horses, the same ones that Yidao Xian and others rode.
Lame knew what they meant. These were Brother Hai's trophies, and they didn't dare to dispose of them at will.
The lame man called Brother Hai out who had just finished taking a bath.
"These are all your things, what do you want to do with them?" Cripple handed the decision to Brother Hai. From today on, Brother Hai will be the backbone of him and his good sister.
Brother Hai thought for a while and took the sword from Yi Dao Xian. "I took this sword. The remaining knives and saddles are given to the blacksmith uncle! You can use some of the money to give to the uncle who was killed by Yi Dao Xian and the others. His family, you can take care of the rest!"
After saying that, Brother Hai closed the door.
The lame man looked at this scene, a little surprised, and nodded with satisfaction. Not only was he good at swordsmanship, but he also understood how to deal with the world.
If after this battle, Brother Hai turns into a villain like the Yidao Immortal brothers, the lame man won't say anything, but disappointment will definitely be inevitable.
Maybe it's the best ending if the dragon slayer doesn't become an evil dragon.
A few days later, news came that an unknown swordsman, with one sword per man, entered the lair of the One-Sword Immortal, and slaughtered all the swordsmen under the One-Sword Immortal. No one was left.
When the news came back to Shuangqi Town, Brother Hai had already left with his father-in-law and new wife for several days.
