The man in black sneered at Ke Zhengtong, and there was even a hint of cold murderous intent in his sarcastic words.
If the words of the man in black had been spoken earlier, everyone present might not be able to help but laugh, thinking that he was an arrogant person.
But now, after witnessing the ghost-like skills of the man in black and his boldness in squeezing Magistrate Xu to death without any scruples, all the people present felt was the chill that penetrated their bodies.
"you.."
Before Ke Zhengtong could finish his trembling rebuttal, he saw the figure of the man in black moving again.
He suddenly exploded, like thunder on the ground, jumped directly over the group of guards blocking him, and rushed towards Ke Zhengtong, as if to fulfill what he just said, to send Ke Zheng went to keep company with Magistrate Xu.
Seeing the man in black charging toward him quickly, Ke Zhengtong, who had not yet unlocked the acupuncture points on his hands, hurriedly dodged backwards. He knew that he was by no means a match for him at this moment.
Wang Yuanba beside him also hurriedly slashed with his sword, intending to help Ke Zhengtong stop the man in black.
Although Wang Yuanba's mentality was somewhat affected by the murder of Magistrate Xu, it was not as great as Ke Zhengtong's. After all, their identities, responsibilities, and relationships with each other were different.
Ke Zhengtong is the local chief of the Six Gates. If such a major event such as the assassination of a fourth-grade official occurred in his jurisdiction, he must not be able to escape the involvement. The court will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.
And when the time comes, the shady deeds between him and Magistrate Xu will inevitably be discovered together. At that time, several crimes will be punished at the same time, and Ke Zhengtong will not be able to protect himself, not to mention being in trouble. There will be jail time.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Ke Zhengtong, who had always been calm, became a little panicked at this time.
But Wang Yuanba was different. The Wang family was neither an official nor responsible for protecting the land and the people, and they did not have a close relationship with Magistrate Xu.
Although there were some exchanges of interest with Magistrate Xu, they were just normal exchanges between local powerful people and local officials. This kind of thing was common throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the court would never implicate the Wang family because of this.
Therefore, the death of Magistrate Xu did not have a great impact on the Wang family. At most, it only caused a loss of face in the world. After all, people were killed under their own protection.
At this time, Wang Yuanba was slashing with his sword, just planning to have a good meeting with this master of the 'Sun Moon God Sect' to avenge his shame today.
Wang Yuanba's sword skills are sharp, and his moves are very precise. This sword perfectly blocked the whereabouts of the man in black.
Wang Yuanba confidently waited for the man in black to land and hit the knife edge himself.
But what Wang Yuanba didn't expect was that the man in black seemed to have seen through his sword move. Just when he was about to fall, the man in black suddenly turned around and made a volley, avoiding him by a hair's breadth. past his oncoming blade.
The sharp blade scraped against the man in black's clothes, and the strong sword energy directly cut through the black night clothes of the man in black, but that was all. The sword energy had reached its limit and could no longer go any further. It hurts the man's skin.
The man in black felt the coldness passing over his body and smiled confidently. Then he saw the thumb and middle finger of his right hand lightly clasping together. When Wang Yuanba's sword had exhausted its old strength and had yet to unleash its new strength, he directly took advantage of the situation. He caught the back of his knife.
The sword in his hand was blocked, and Wang Yuanba couldn't help but feel shocked.
He didn't expect that the other party not only dodged his fatal knife in such a thrilling way, but also took advantage of the opportunity to hold his own blade. For a moment, he was inexplicably horrified.
'How can it be! Did he see through my sword moves? '
Although he was horrified in his heart, Wang Yuanba was a veteran in martial arts. Although he was surprised, the movements in his hand did not stop at all. He quickly chose to change his moves, flipping the blade, intending to strangle the opponent.
But before he could use the force of turning, he felt a strong tremor coming from the blade.
This sudden and huge internal energy was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, which made his knife-holding hand numb, and the blade in his hand almost fell out of his hand.
Feeling the same powerful inner energy as the stone just now, Wang Yuanba also quickly gave up the plan of changing his moves, and he quickly used his inner energy to fight against the opponent.
The two of them, one holding the handle of the knife and the other holding the back of the knife, were using their internal forces to collide with each other. The majestic internal forces collided in the blade made of fine steel.
"Scandium!" With a sound, the overwhelmed blade exploded, and countless tiny blades flew around.
These shattered blades, coerced by the strong inner strength of both sides, turned into hidden iron weapons all over the sky. They were extremely sharp. Some unlucky guards who were close were accidentally affected, and for a while, there was endless wailing. .
As the two people at the center of the storm, Wang Yuanba quickly used his strength to fly back the moment he realized something was wrong. At the same time, he tried his best to dodge the flying blades to avoid being injured in vital parts.
He lost the internal power duel just now, but he didn't lose because his internal power was not as good as the opponent's. He could feel that although the opponent's internal power was not weaker than his, it was not as deep as Chu Liuxiang's just now. His main reason for losing this time was because of his failure. Got the first chance.
Unlike Wang Yuanba who was forced to retreat, the man in black did not retreat but advanced. He glided gracefully and easily dodged the flying blades. Wang Yuanba was knocked back.
When Wang Yuanba saw that the opponent was bullying him, he quickly waved his palm to defend against the enemy. However, just like the opponent's sword skills had been seen through just now, he saw that the opponent did not pay attention to his hand that was hitting his vital part, and stretched out his hand to kill him. He directly hit his Guanmen point, and at the same time, he avoided his fatal palm with just a sideways movement.
The opponent's finger touched his Guanmen point, and in an instant Wang Yuanba felt an internal force pouring in from the Guanmen point, and quickly spread to all the veins in his body.
'this? This is Sunflower Acupuncture Hand! 'This unique acupoint-sealing technique instantly reminded Wang Yuanba of the famous Sunflower Acupuncture Technique.
Wang Yuanba couldn't speak at this time, but the horror in his eyes was vividly displayed. The other party actually knew how to use sunflower acupoints? Is it sunflower pie? White jade soup? Or Gongsun Wulong?
He had no way of knowing all this. The meridians were sealed and Wang Yuanba lost control of his body. He was retreating at high speed and was about to fall out in an instant.
He closed his eyes helplessly. He didn't know if his internal strength was blocked and his old bones could withstand the fall?
But what he didn't expect was that the man in black in front of him actually reached out and grabbed him, holding him on the spot. Then he turned around gracefully and slid away.
