Chapter Twenty-Three: Retribution is unpleasant
The masked man no longer paid attention to Wei Rulan, who had fainted, and Wei Chao, who had died, turned around, only to see the eight figures pressing towards him in an instant.
It turned out that Fan Canghai and seven apprentices rushed over. They searched for nearly a day and a night in the Tianshan Mountains, never knowing where the kidnappers were hiding.
Later, I saw the tomb that Qiao Laosan erected for Shunzi. Because the newly erected grave had not yet been soiled, and there was an inscription on the tombstone, it attracted their attention. They then followed Qiao Laosan's trail and found him.
When he was about to arrive, he happened to see the masked man assassinating Wei Chao. In desperation, Huzi threw out a dagger and tried to stop the masked man, but he didn't expect to be slashed out by the other party.
The masked man didn't care after slashing the dagger with one palm. Because he could feel that the man who threw the dagger was not his opponent. However, when he saw Fan Canghai is, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, and he could feel the strong strength of the other party.
Fan Canghai vaguely saw Wei Rulan lying on the ground, thinking that she was dead, and suddenly became angry.
He didn't say a word, and rushed towards the masked man.
'Ghost Hand' Fan Canghai made a killing move as soon as he made a move. I saw that his figure turned into an afterimage, and when he was about to approach the masked man, he instantly shifted to the right again. While the figure was still on the right, the man appeared on the left, and his right hand was locked to the masked man's throat.
This is exactly one of Fan Canghai's famous tricks, "ghost shadow transposition". The body is on one side, but the attack is on the other side, and the sound is overwhelming.
Usually, when he appears on the right side of the enemy, the opponent often thinks that he is going to attack from the right side, so as to meet the right side, but when the opponent's attack move is old, Fan Canghai attacks from the left, making the opponent unable to resist, so that he is always sure to hit.
However, this masked man's skills are obviously not weak, and after discovering that he had made a mistake in judgment, he kicked hard with his left foot, and his body moved more than three meters away to the right side between the lightning and flint, avoiding Fan Canghai's fatal move.
He thought that Fan Canghai would chase after him, and at the moment when his body stood still, he put the knife in front of him and made a defensive posture.
Fan Canghai was already standing in the position where the masked man was at this time, and he didn't catch up. He bent down to test some of Wei Rulan's snorts, and found that her breath was stable, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed. It turned out that Wei Rulan just fainted and did not die.
He waved at the seven Huzi people, and saw the seven people flash behind him. Huzi leaned over and picked up Wei Rulan's, and another person picked up Wei Chao's body.
Fan Canghai said to Huzi and the others: "Quickly take Rulan and leave." ”
He knew that the masked man on the other side was difficult to deal with. Even if Huzi and a few people stay here, it will be of little use, but it will make them fearful. Rather than this, it is better to take Wei Rulan away first, at least to ensure Wei Rulan's safety first.
Huzi said to Fan Canghai: "Master, take care." “
After speaking, he did not hesitate, took the other six people to sweep towards the periphery, and then galloped away.
Over the years, there has been an incomparable tacit understanding between master and apprentice, and he has understood his master's thoughts from the moment the master gestured to him. Therefore, after listening to the master's instructions, he did not hesitate and left decisively.
When he was very young, Fan Canghai once asked him what he should do if one day the master and apprentice fought with the enemy, and the master might not be the enemy's opponent. Huzi replied without thinking at the time, and fought with the other party.
Fan Canghai immediately reprimanded him and scolded, the master is not an opponent, aren't you going up to die, who will avenge the master if you die. Besides, if you go up, the master will protect you, won't you be even more unable to let go of your hands and feet.
Fan Canghai seriously told him that before he could not become the master's helper, leaving would be the greatest help to the master.
Since then, he has kept these words in his heart, and later told them to his six juniors.
When the masked man saw this, he did not chase after him. He knew very well in his heart that he couldn't easily get rid of the old man opposite, and instead of chasing in vain, it was better to see if he could clean up this old man first, and it would not be too late to catch up when the time came.
However, he also knew that Fan Canghai was not easy to deal with, so he didn't think much about anything else at the moment, and stared at Fan Canghai cautiously, not daring to be careless.
After Huzi and the others disappeared, Fan Canghai's right hand and arm shook, and he didn't see how to move, and there was an extra blade as thin as a cicada's wing in his right hand, like a sword not a sword, like a knife not a knife, and a cold aura burst out from the blade.
Many people on the road know that Fan Canghai is nicknamed 'Ghost Shadow Hand'. However, few people know that what he is best at is the sharp blade he now holds in his hand. Because, most of the time, he doesn't need to come up with his own means to press the bottom of the box.
Now, with his rivals in the moment, he has to give it his all.
Immediately afterward, I saw the two of them rushing towards each other at the same time, and the two afterimages instantly intertwined and overlapped.
Master moves, no fancy moves. One move and one style are all extremely simple, but they are deadly.
In the process of sprinting, the long knife in his hand slashed diagonally towards Fan Canghai with the momentum of thunder. An inch long and an inch strong. The knife in his hand was longer than the blade in Fan Canghai's hand, and he took some advantage when he made a move.
Fan Canghai sprinted forward unabated, and when the opponent's knife was about to slash, his body strangely turned over the blade, and at the same time, the sharp blade in his hand stabbed into the opponent's armpit.
Before he had time to regain his momentum, the masked man suddenly pressed the handle of the knife down, pressing against Fan Canghai's arm, and at the same time drove the blade to spin downward, slashing towards Fan Canghai's neck.
The masked man's reaction can be described as extremely fast, on the one hand, he can suppress the move from Fan Canghai's stab, and at the same time, he attacks with a backhand, which is extremely domineering.
At the last moment, Wei Canghai's body fell backwards, and when his back was about to hit the ground, he kicked on his toes, and the whole person slid backwards for about two meters, narrowly avoiding the opponent's counterattack.
Under one face, although both sides were injured, they both walked on the edge of life and death. In terms of strength, the masked man is slightly stronger, and of course there is little difference between the two.
After a few face-shots, Fan Canghai's left arm was stabbed by the masked man, and blood flowed. The masked man was stabbed in the right leg by Fan Canghai, and he was also quite embarrassed.
Fan Canghai adjusted his breathing and walked towards the masked man again.
This time, with the determination to die, he stopped dodging at all, desperately fighting for his life, and attacked the masked man frantically. He knew that if he couldn't inflict heavy damage on the masked man, then after he was defeated, this person might go after Huzi and the others.
This kind of deadly fighting style suddenly disrupted the masked man's attack rhythm, and for a while, he was a little hurried and kept retreating.
At this moment, an afterimage seemed to roll against the ground, attacking the masked man's back, and at the same time, three flying knives struck the masked man's head and left and right sides, trying to block the masked man's possible hiding direction. This sneak attack was carried out in one go, leaving the masked man with nowhere to hide.
The masked man was suddenly horrified in his heart, he was busy dealing with Fan Canghai who was attacking from the opposite side, and he didn't expect that Fan Canghai still had helpers and would attack him from behind at this time.
Unable to dodge left or right, in a hurry, he swung his right hand and slashed backwards, trying to force back the man who attacked from behind.
However, in this way, there is a gap in the front. He couldn't dodge, and he was stabbed in the left shoulder by Fan Canghai.
To make such a choice, the masked man was also forced to do so. If you expose your back to a sneak attacker, you risk losing your life. When life is at stake, it can only be saved first.
To the masked man's surprise, in the face of the masked man's slash, the man behind not only did not retreat, but rolled forward faster.
After the three of them staggered, they heard a scream of 'ah'. Then there was a 'plop', and the masked man fell to the ground, his legs snapping off from his knees, and blood spurting wildly.
And the sneak attacker was not happy, a piece of the scalp was cut off from the back of his head, and one more point was missing, and he would die on the spot. It seems that this sneak attacker is also determined to die.
Fan Canghai didn't care about the upper part of his arm, he walked quickly to the injured sneak attacker, and after seeing the person clearly, he said in surprise: "Feng Sidao, why are you here." “
As he spoke, he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and tried to bandage his wound with four knives for the wind.
Feng Sidao grinned and said, "Old Man Fan, our boss said that you saved him once ten years ago, so that our brothers have a chance to repay your kindness." ”
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Fan Canghai to bandage his wounds, Feng Sidao told Fan Canghai how he could be here.
It turned out that Feng Sidao had been secretly following the four strange people for the past two days, and later found out that these four people were actually Japanese, and it was very likely that they were from the Black Dragon Society.
The people of the Black Dragon Society had caused trouble in Huaxia decades ago, and the Wind Four Swords naturally couldn't let them go easily. But I wanted to figure out the purpose of these people, so I didn't do anything, just stared closely.
In the evening, he saw four Japanese sneaking up the hill, so he followed. As a result, these four people were extremely cunning, and they actually took advantage of the night to hide their whereabouts and disappeared.
Feng Sidao searched all the way, and then heard the sound of fighting, so he followed the sound and looked for it. When he arrived, he found that Fan Canghai was fighting masked people.
He could see that this masked man was very skillful, and Fan Canghai was not his opponent, let alone himself. So, he had to be patient and look for a chance to kill with one hit.
Later, when Fan Canghai fought for his life, the masked man showed his flaws, which just gave him the opportunity to attack suddenly. Even when the masked man swung his knife at him, he didn't back down. Because he knew that if he couldn't get it in one shot, it would no longer be possible to find another opportunity.
After listening to Feng Sidao's explanation, Fan Canghai said solemnly: "Brother Feng, this time it's thanks to you, otherwise the old man's life would be here." ”
He said that he was exaggerating. He couldn't kill the masked man, but he had no problem escaping. The reason why I say this is also to thank Feng Sidao for his help.
When Feng Sidao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Old man, what you said is tormenting me. ”
After the two of them finished bandaging their wounds, they looked at the masked man lying not far away.
Due to the severed legs and the incessant bleeding, coupled with the fact that the clavicle of the left shoulder was broken when Fan Canghai stabbed him, the masked man was no longer a threat to the two of them at this time.
Sure enough, the cycle of heaven is unpleasant. This guy likes to deliberately cut off people's limbs before killing, and now he has also suffered retribution.
Feng Si stabbed open the mask that covered his face, and it turned out to be a young man less than thirty. Seeing this person's face, he and Fan Canghai glanced at each other, and they were both shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect that the other party was so young and already had such skills.
To be able to produce such a young master, it must be a certain big sect, or a big family, and it must be handled with caution, otherwise it will leave trouble.
"Who are you learning from, and what's your name?" asked Feng Sidao in a deep voice.
The masked man was already weak, but his eyes were still looking at the two of them viciously, and he said with some disdain: "Hmph, the hidden door Dong family, Dong Kui." ”
The masked man chose to report his family name, and his intention was very obvious, that is, to tell the two of them that you have provoked someone you can't afford to provoke. He didn't want to die, hoping that the name of the family could save his life at this time.
Feng Sidao turned his head and glanced at Fan Canghai, and glanced imperceptibly. Then, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Dong, I'm really sorry, I shot hard just now." I don't know why you got into a fight with Old Man Fan?" As he spoke, he also began to dress the wound on Dong Kui's leg diligently.
Dong Kui was obviously very satisfied with Feng Sidao's attitude, and said arrogantly and disdainfully: "It's okay to tell you, Han Chengdong of the Han family asked me to kill Qiao Laosan and the others, but I didn't expect to meet this old man." ”
"Mr. Dong, you are now seriously injured, and you must be taken to the hospital, or you must be sent back to Dong's house. Where do you think it's better to send you?" asked Feng Sidao.
"Send me back to Dong's house, so that I can save my two legs. Qianhua Mountain is not very far from here. Dong Kui didn't think much about it, and replied directly.
He thought that the name of his family had suppressed the two people in front of him, after all, the hidden door was an extremely mysterious existence in the rivers and lakes, and few people dared to challenge the power of the hidden door, even if it was a small hidden door.
Obviously, he still lacks experience in the rivers and lakes, and Feng Sidao can find out his origin and the place where his family is located in a few words.
"Good, good. Feng Sidao replied busily. I saw that his right hand that was bandaging Dong Kui's wound flashed, and Dong Kui's head had already flown out.
The goal has been achieved, and Feng Sidao naturally will not leave him alive, otherwise the two of them will definitely be frantically retaliated against by each other.
Feng Sidao stood up and said to Fan Canghai: "Old Man Fan, you know about this hidden Dong family. ”
Fan Canghai shook his head. Since Dong Kui reported his name, he began to think about it seriously, but he didn't have any impression of this Dong family.
However, it is not surprising that people in the hidden door rarely interfere in secular affairs, and basically do not walk on the road as Jianghu people. Even if they join the WTO, they may work and live like ordinary people. Therefore, even if there are such people around, they may not be able to detect it.
"Brother Feng, today's matter is very important. It must be kept strictly confidential, and half a sentence must not be leaked, otherwise the consequences may be unimaginable. Fan Canghai said to Feng Sidao with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, old man, I know how serious it is, this matter will rot in the stomach. Feng Sidao knew the terrifying power of the Hidden Gate, and he also replied seriously.
Then, the two found a secret place, dug a deep pit, threw Dong Kui's body, weapons, etc. into it, and after burying it, they moved a few boulders to press on it, and carefully camouflaged it.
