3.

The iron lute is indeed made of fine iron, but the strings are not.

Han Jiangliu fell into a thinking mistake from the beginning, he thought that Yun Mengze's double knife attack was just to fight him in close combat, so that he couldn't free his hand to play the music. In fact, the power of the iron pipa in melee combat is no less than that of an iron hammer or a plate axe, as long as it is smashed, it will break bones and tendons; Yun Mengze didn't want to fight head-on at all, the purpose of his attack was to wait for an opportunity to use the blade to break the strings.

This explains why after he used his internal force to stick up the long knife, he did not immediately hit the opponent's body with a move of "Floating Light Leaping Gold", but stabbed at the iron pipa;

Han Jiangliu took a deep breath and held the iron pipa horizontally. His Han family's family kung fu "Pipa Divine Skill" was originally to gain the upper hand in the instrument, and to use internal force to disturb people with the rhythm of music, which was just a small trick added by Han Jiangliu himself.

The whole body of the pipa is made of fine iron, like an axe when attacking, punctual as a shield, and the inside of the pipa is hollow, and there is a hidden box at the bottom of the lute for storage, which hides twelve hidden pipa nails without a trace.

With such a weapon in hand, it can both attack and defend, as well as a hidden weapon, which is multi-purpose, and it is powerful.

Yun Mengze has lived in the first floor for a long time, and he doesn't know the prestige of the "Han's Iron Pipa" in the fourth building, but when he sees that the iron pipa is held in his hand by the cold river, it is like a thunderbolt, and he also knows that if he is not careful, he will definitely be extremely uncomfortable. At that moment, he held a fixed long knife in one hand, and the blade was slightly raised downward obliquely, which was a starting gesture of "meeting friends with swords", and at the same time, the other hand was behind his back, and the palm of his hand was surging with a faint light, hiding a looming talisman.

Han Jiangliu didn't wait for Yun Mengze's knife to be handed out, and he rushed forward with an arrow step, he was holding the iron pipa with both hands, but at this moment he changed to a one-handed horizontal hold, and the internal force of the other palm surged, and a palm was vigorously split, and before the person and the pipa were in place, the palm wind had already hit first. Although Yun Mengze has been verbally belittling the black gauze door, he also knows that this left protector is by no means comparable to those ordinary cats and dogs, so he condensed his mind at the moment, did not confront him head-on, and flashed away with a staggered footstep, which was able to avoid the slap that hit.

Han Jiangliu is still holding a steady iron pipa in one hand, and the other hand is a "pipa covering face" followed Yun Mengze's figure and brushed away. This move looks light and fluttering, like the morning breeze blowing willows, but this trick is virtual and real, soft and rigid, just like the Wudang faction in the famous martial arts "Tai Chi" and "Bagua You Dragon Palm" in general, hidden needles in the cotton, in the soft strength to play a fierce force.

This hand "pipa covering face" is a killing move that is pressing step by step, and the two are only about half a step apart, Han Jiangliu's palm goes straight to the back of the opponent's heart, and according to the "Shinto Acupoint", it stands to reason that he should be able to hit the target no matter what. Unexpectedly, Yun Mengze's footsteps were misplaced again, and he swept across the edge of the opponent's palm, and avoided this move again.

Lin Xiao originally thought that Yun Mengze was about to be hit this time, and he grabbed the armrests of the rocking chair with both hands very tightly, and his entire upper body straightened up unconsciously, but he didn't expect him to get out of danger again, and couldn't help but secretly scream: "Okay!"

Changfeng suddenly made a voice: "This is ...... Walk with you. ”

When Lin Xiao heard this, he turned his head and asked, "What kind of exercise is that?"

Changfeng explained: "This is a secret technique of the 'Soul Chasing Pavilion', which is similar to the 'Ender Illusion Technique' of the Demon Gate Dark Incense at the beginning, and it is a peerless technique that relies on extremely fast body techniques to perform for assassination, or ...... Escape. ”

Han Jiangliu obviously didn't know the beauty of this "shadow-like step", and thought that Yun Mengze had dodged two moves by mistake, and couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "This kid is quite slippery, and his luck is good enough, but next move, I want to see how you can dodge!" Thinking of this, the iron pipa held in his right hand suddenly picked up and swept directly head-on. Although Yun Mengze used the "Shadow Follow" to avoid two moves in a row, the distance between the two was still only half a step to a step, after this move "Autumn Wind Sweeping Leaves" was used, he was blocked on all sides of the path, no matter which direction he moved, he would be swept by the iron pipa.

Unexpectedly, when the iron pipa was about to sweep Yun Mengze, his whole person suddenly fell straight down. At this time, the position above his head was directly below the area where the iron lute swept through. Hanjiangliu counted everything, but he didn't count that the other party actually left such a hand, only to see that after Yun Mengze fell, he didn't completely hit the ground, he put one hand on the ground, and swiped on the ground with a single knife, and the whole person slid straight backwards, and stood up as soon as his body straightened, and he was separated from Hanjiangliu by a distance.

Not to mention that Han Jiangliu was dumbfounded, even Lin Xiao and Changfeng were stunned for a while and did not ease up. Lin Xiao's eyes widened, and he said, "What kind of displacement skill is this, and you still wander around with stickers?"

Dodging one move is a coincidence, dodging two moves is good luck, and dodging three moves in a row is very revealing. Han Jiangliu finally noticed the strangeness in Yun Mengze's footwork, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "This little rabbit cub belongs to a loach!" and then shouted: "Okay, you slippery boy, what kind of skill do you have to hide around?!" Yun Mengze no longer used footwork to dodge this time, and his figure shook and he stretched out his hand with a palm, facing the opponent's fist.

The fists and palms intersected, and Han Jiangliu suddenly changed his moves, and the five fingers opened into a claw shape, and his backhand clasped Yun Mengze's wrist. Yun Mengze also grabbed and twisted with his backhand and grabbed the opponent's palm. The palms of the two restrained each other, and each held the blade in his hand and struck at the other.

The iron pipa is stronger than the long knife in terms of weight and strength, Yun Mengze held the knife and made a move against Han Jiangliu, and his arm was numb from the shock, and even the long knife was almost crushed by the iron pipa, and the expression on his face couldn't help but be solemn. Han Jiangliu made a successful move, and then picked up the iron pipa and was about to do it again, but before he could start to make a move, Yun Mengze suddenly exerted force with his fingertips, turned his fingers into claws, and pinched Han Jiangliu's wrist.

Han Jiangliu only felt a numbness on his wrist, and suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, knowing that this was a posture of "splitting muscles and wrong bones", he hurriedly waved his hand to shake Yun Mengze's palm, and at the same time punched his face. Yun Mengze took a step back, waited for the opponent's fist to reach a few inches in front of the door, and suddenly stretched out his left palm to cut directly at the vein gate on the opponent's right hand. Han Jiangliu didn't want to lose both with him, so he withdrew his fist and took three steps back at the same time.

Hanjiangliu spewed out a breath of turbidity with a "ha", picked up the iron pipa with one hand and hung it, making a move "waving five strings with his hand", and then entered the palace with a horizontal fist. Yun Mengze saw that the other party was menacing, and he didn't want to clash with him head-on, so he shook his body and once again unfolded his "Shadow Follow" again, and in the blink of an eye, he had already circled behind Han Jiangliu.

Han Jiangliu saw that he was extremely fast, for fear that this fellow who engaged in assassination would go around behind him and secretly give himself a knife, which would be very bad. In a hurry, he quickly turned around and reached out to pull Yun Mengze's wrist.

Han Jiangliu is self-assured, and he is naturally not afraid of fighting hard with the other party, but after Yun Mengzeshi unfolded the "shadow with the form", it was really like a shadow of nothingness, back and forth, not only could not catch his wrist, but even the corner of his clothes did not touch the halfest. Han Jiangliu settled down, held the iron pipa in both hands, and slashed it towards Yun Mengze, the left move "Silver Bottle Breaking", the right move "Swords and guns roared", and the iron pipa danced into a silver shadow. Yun Mengze walked around and dodged with light footwork, and from time to time he raised his knife and made two moves, and the two of them fought back and forth for more than ten rounds, and the scene was still evenly matched.

After a few more moves, Yun Mengze slashed down, but was shocked by the iron pipa, and a flaw in the knife technique was suddenly revealed. Han Jiangliu's eyes were vicious, and he immediately discovered this, and immediately raised the iron pipa to hold the opponent's long knife, seeing that his body was slightly tilted, he expected him to dodge to the left, so he waved the iron pipa with his right hand and swung the long knife, and at the same time, his left hand quickly stretched out and grabbed it, and actually really buckled Yun Mengze's shoulder. Han Jiangliu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he made a move, so he tried his best to drag it back.

Unexpectedly, under a tug, Yun Mengze's left shoulder suddenly gave birth to a force, pushing open the palm of the cold river, and at the same time, he stepped out like a shadow. This footwork is really fast, and when it is used closely, it has the force of sweeping, which is the so-called "inertia". Hanjiangliu was caught off guard, but was dragged by this force, and his feet flashed, and the whole person fell forward.

Although Han Jiangliu fell forward, he was extremely fast, he stretched out one hand to the ground, and with the other hand, he held the iron pipa and picked it up. Yun Mengze was just about to fall with a knife, but when he came like this, he had to parry with a horizontal knife, and at the same time retreated backwards, taking advantage of this vacancy, Hanjiangliu had already stood up, and the two of them were still indistinguishable.

Han Jiangliu saw that Yun Mengze looked young, but his skills were really good, and at the moment, he made a move with his left hand "Double Dragon Playing Pearl", stretched out two fingers and poked straight towards his face, and waved the iron pipa with his right hand, and it was a move "Iron Horse Protrusion" to hit the opponent's waist. Yun Mengze turned sideways to avoid the front, stepped forward, and had already dodged to the right side of the cold river, followed by a slash of the knife, and stabbed him under the right rib.

Yun Mengze's avoidance of his edge this time was something that Han Jiangliu expected. He split his palms sideways, raised the iron pipa with one hand to resist the long knife that stabbed him, drew a semicircle to protect his body, and followed up with the other hand to make a move "Jade Bead Falling Plate", arching two points to the "Divine Sealing Point" on Yun Mengze's chest. Yun Mengze took two steps back with the knife, his body was short, and the two fingers poked by the other party were printed with one palm, and the palm wind was sassy, and in the blink of an eye, his fingertips had been stained with the opponent's placket.

This palm was just a flick before it could be implemented, Yun Mengze's heart had already sunk for a while, and he said secretly: "It's not good!" I saw that the finger from the Hanjiang stream suddenly changed his move in the middle of the way, and changed the finger poke to a palm slap, taking advantage of his palm to blow it, when the door of the front chest opened, he took a step ahead of him and imprinted a move "Liuquan down the mountain" on his chest. Yun Mengze's tricks after his shot had not yet become old, and this time he couldn't dodge, so he had to eat Han Jiangliu's palm stiffly.

With a palm on his body, Yun Mengze only felt as if his chest had been hit hard by a big hammer, and his blood was surging for a while, and the whole person was almost out of breath. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, for fear that Han Jiangliu would press him step by step to kill him again, so he hurriedly swung sideways to force the other party back, and at the same time retreated three steps in a row. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain like tearing in the palm of his chest, Yun Mengze gritted his teeth, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he reached out to his chest and touched it, but he felt the blood on his hands.

"You ......!" Yun Mengze was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and immediately reached out and touched his chest for a while, as if he had touched something, and pulled it out suddenly. I saw three streams of blood suddenly splattering out, and three bloody pipa nails were pulled out of his chest.

"Hidden weapon?!" Lin Xiao couldn't sit still now, stood up and scolded: "Seeing that you are so old, can you be so shameless?!"

Han Jiangliu sneered in a sneer: "Those of us who are assassins to carry out assassinations, it is normal to use hidden weapons, how can we say that we are shameless?! Moreover, you have not stipulated in advance that you cannot use hidden weapons, if he also hurts me with hidden weapons, then I am willing to admit defeat!"

Yun Mengze clicked on several acupoints on his chest to stop the blood flow, and said: "I didn't notice it for a while, and this is what happened to you, and there will be no such good thing in the future!" He was injured at the moment and couldn't wait long, so he stepped up the change of tactics, hoping to end the fight as soon as possible.

Changfeng beside Lin Xiao looked at it, and couldn't help frowning: "More than enough, not enough stability, this is a big taboo in martial arts." ”

How could Yun Mengze not know the key point of this, but only he knew about the injury, and with his current injury, if he tried to fight steadily and step by step, he would only fall more and more into passivity. He used his long knife to make two moves, "Apricot Blossom Spring Rain" and "Clear Spring Reflecting the Moon", attacked one after another, and slashed straight at the shoulders of the cold river.

When Han Jiangliu saw the number of his moves, he knew that the other party was trying to advance and retreat, and win quickly, so he picked up the iron pipa and danced violently, and the tricks he used were all powerful and heavy. Yun Mengze obviously didn't dare to use the blade to fight the iron pipa, so he changed the knife style, walked lightly, and found the opportunity to cut his fingers holding the iron pipa.

Han Jiangliu turned around to avoid the incoming knife, and with a jump, he dodged Yun Mengze's attack, and turned directly behind him, raising the iron pipa with both hands and slapping it down on the back of his head with a heavy sound of breaking wind.

Yun Mengze could have used the "Shadow Follow" to turn over and counter, but he was afraid of affecting the wound on his chest, so he didn't dare to use footwork easily, so he had to turn sideways to the side, avoiding the smashed iron pipa, and at the same time handed out a backhand. Han Jiangliu raised the iron pipa to block it, urging the internal strength on the blade, Yun Mengze only felt a sharp shock of the long knife, followed by a pain in his chest, obviously affecting the wound, so he could no longer hold the knife, and the blade came out of his hand.

When Han Jiangliu saw Yun Mengze's footsteps staggering and the long knife out of his hand, he knew that he couldn't hold on anymore, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. After all, he was afraid of the identity of the other party's ghost envoy, and he was unwilling to attract the revenge of the Soul Chasing Pavilion by killing him, so he didn't kill him again, but reached out to remove the joints of Yun Mengze's hands, and then clicked on his acupoint again, raised his hand and pinched his neck to lift him up.

"The surname Lin, how is it?!" Han Jiangliu pinched Yun Mengze, who had passed out in a coma, and smiled at Lin Xiao at the same time, "According to the bet between us, your life should be mine!"

Changfeng stood sideways in front of Lin Xiao, staring at the cold river with burning eyes, as if as long as the other party made a move, he would break other people's necks. Just as the two sides were tense, a joking voice suddenly came from the roof of the patio corridor: "Do you think it's fun to pinch my puppet?"

As soon as this voice sounded, Lin Xiao and Changfeng suddenly looked happy. On the contrary was the cold river, he raised his eyes in horror and looked around, and said in a trembling voice: "Impossible...... It's impossible!You're in my hands right now, who the hell are you?!"

"Eh!" the voice said, "Look up, old fellow!"

Han Jiangliu looked up and saw Yun Mengze half-lying on the roof with his arms and head propped up, his feet swaying on stilts. He stared at the other party's frightened gaze, smiled coldly, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers - only to see that the "Yun Mengze" who was pinched by the cold river suddenly burned a layer of flames all over his body, and then disappeared, and then seemed to have something floating down from mid-air and falling to the ground.

It was a charred piece of rune paper.

For a while, Han Jiangliu's two rows of teeth were about to be crushed: "Stand-in!"
