45: Broken strings
How the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch will reward meritorious deeds will be a matter for later. As for now, it is natural that the position of the protagonist on the stage should be handed over to General Ning. Therefore, the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch beckoned, and asked Dugu Wei, Fox Zhenbei, Tie Qiao Terrestris, Long Buxu and other four people to come over and stand behind him. The four of them immediately remained silent, as if they had settled down.
General Ning stood still, looked at Hua Facai and Wen Zuomeng, and suddenly said with a cruel smile: "The bird is hidden in the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked." Go outside, grab two of the apprentices of these two old ghosts, and cut off their heads first. β
Tang Xiaoniao, Lei Dajian, Rabbit Master, Dog Taoist and other four people all knew that this was General Ning Da who wanted to set up a horse. At that moment, he obeyed the order in unison, turned around and walked out.
General Ning put his hands behind his back and waited for a long time. It seems leisurely, but in fact, I can't wait for it. Because he likes the feeling of cutting off the enemy's head with his own hands. The sound of blood gushing out of his neck like a fountain sounded to him more beautiful than any music.
Therefore, no matter what choice Hua Facai and Wen Zuomeng make, it is to resist to the end or give in immediately. All in all, any of their two apprentices were already doomed to death. In fact, there is only one reason: General Ning likes to kill.
"The bird hides the bow, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks" and other four people, and the efficiency of work has always been very high. Hua Fa Caiwen dreamed that the two of them were apprentices, but they were just in the carriage outside. The straight-line distance between it and the hall is about 30 zhang at most. If you move faster, you should be back in about a minute or two. Even if the movement is slow, it takes five or six minutes, which is definitely enough.
However, General Ning waited for a full ten minutes, and the four people including the bird bow hid still did not come back. Not only did General Ning become more and more impatient, but even the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch, Bu Renyan, Chen Jingun, Five Alliance Masters and others began to feel a little impatient.
Just impatient. But I haven't felt that anything is wrong. After all, this is the base camp of the Terror Alliance, and all the elite soldiers are gathered here, so what else can be wrong? At most, it's just a little trouble that doesn't matter......
"Ah~~"
With a terrible shout, it suddenly rose into the sky, and passed over the walls and into the hall. Suddenly, in the hall, everyone was moved. Because they all heard it clearly, the one who made that scream was the "one hundred dead" dog Taoist priests. Why? Because at first glance, his bark sounds a bit like a dog's barking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have received such a title.
At this moment, the screams made by the dog Taoist priest are more like the sorrowful screams of an old dog who has been fatally injured in the last moments of his life. What happened to make the dog Taoist scream like this? And the rabbit master? What about the thunder arrows? What about the Tang laughing birds? Where did they go?
Everyone in the hall subconsciously tensed all the muscles in their bodies for a moment, and they were ready to make all the moves for the accidents that would occur at any time. Immediately after, I could only hear the heavy footsteps of "Teng Teng Teng~", and quickly ran towards the hall. In an instant, I saw a Tang laughing bird with distorted facial features appearing outside the hall gate.
General Ning strode over and asked, "What happened?"
Tang Xiaoniao trembled and shouted, "Dead, dead......! Dead!"
Before the words fell, a thin red mark suddenly appeared on Tang Xiaoniao's waist. Immediately afterward, his whole body was divided into two halves. The first half of the "poof~" jumped over the threshold and fell to the floor of the hall. The lower half collapsed at once, and finally remained in the hall.
Silent. Almost all of the people present were masters. They could see at a glance that the thin red mark that split Tang Xiaoniao in two was a knife wound. But if you want to cut the person in half, and then the person is unaware, he can still insist on running for more than 30 feet, until he has finished saying the last thing to say, and the knife wound will attack. How fast does such a knife have to be? Dolly? How terrible is it? What kind of knife is this? Who is the person wielding the knife?
"Tu~Tu~Tu~"
The footsteps were near, getting closer, getting closer. In an instant, two figures appeared outside the door of the hall. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
No one would ask the question, "What happened to all those Horror Alliance disciples who stayed outside the hall to guard?" Because everyone understands. In this case, since the comer was able to come here, then those Horror Alliance disciples along the way must have been killed. Even if it doesn't die, it's definitely no longer hopeful. So instead of worrying about the meaningless things, it is better to concentrate on the issues that are really worth caring about.
The figure on the left side is familiar to everyone present. Even if you haven't seen a real person. I've seen the portrait a long time ago. He is the sworn brother of Zhu Youxian, the owner of the Canghai Yueming Building, the only descendant of Tianyi Jushi, the nephew of Zhuge Taifu, the leader of the Biandan Gang, and the owner of the Qijian "Retention", Huang Xiaoshi (Of course, everyone present at this time did not know that he had changed his name again. Therefore, he is still called Huang Yishi).
As for the figure on the right...... Well, who is he? The clothes he wears are ordinary. But the colorful mask he wore on his faceβit seemed to be Zhang Fei's mask on the stage?
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the face mask with "black" as the background color. But then, those gazes shifted to the waist of the mask man. On top of that belt, there was a knife clearly stuck diagonally.
The hilt is pitch black, and the scabbard is pitch black. Whoever looks at this knife will only breed a bad omen.
General Ning couldn't help but blurt out, "Who are you wearing a mask?"
The masked man is, of course, Cheng Li. He glanced at everyone present, raised his right hand, pressed it on the hilt, and said lightly: "Three knives with broken strings, no one can see it." If anyone sees it, it will be like a broken string!"
"Ginger broken strings?"
Bu Renyan in the hall was suddenly startled, and subconsciously blurted out exclaimed. For a moment, everyone in the hall looked sideways. General Ning couldn't help but ask, "What Jiang broke the string? Why didn't you say it?"
Bu Ren's expression between his eyebrows and Yu looked suspicious. Said: "That...... That was at least 100 years ago. I've seen it in the old archives of the Criminal Department. At that time, there was an executioner in the Criminal Department, named Jiang Xuanxian. He has always killed people with the sharpest and sharpest heart, and he never needs a second knife. Later, he got tired of just killing people on the execution ground, so he went to the martial arts to try the knife.
Who would have thought that under his knife, those so-called masters who can run, jump, parry, and counterattack are exactly the same as the prisoners on the execution ground, and no one can block his knife at all. Someone once asked Jiang Broken String what kind of knife technique he used. Jiang Xuanxian said these twelve words.
Three knives are broken, and people can't see them. If anyone sees it, it will be like a broken string!"
The name Jiang Broken String, everyone present has only heard it from Bu Renyan's mouth until today. However, with the corpse of the Tang laughing bird on the ground, which was divided into two pieces and was worthy of the name, the liver and intestines were broken. Suddenly, everyone felt that using those twelve words to describe Jiang Broken String was really no longer suitable.
Three knives with broken strings are indeed invisible. Tang Xiaoniao saw it, and now his body was lying there, and it was like a broken string.
So, what about them? There were so many people present, counting from General Ning and the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch, one was counted as one, and they had all witnessed this broken string with their own eyes. Who is it that will break the string next?
General Ning's face changed, and he suddenly let out a cruel smile and shouted: "The boy surnamed Huang, you relied on this person, so you escaped by luck, right?
Huang Xiaoshi held the "retention" in his hand and said expressionlessly: "You are right. So what?"
General Ning restrained his smile and said, "Good boy, I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it, it turns out that you still have such a hidden hole card." It's amazing. However, if you finally pick up a small life, you should know how to cherish it. Haha, who do you think you are? Is it Li Yanzhou, or Chu Maniac, or is he Xiao Canghai, the hero of Kyushu?"
Huang Xiaoshi said calmly: "I'm not Li Yanzhou, let alone Chu Maniac, Xiao Canghai. I am who I am, Huang Xiaoshi. β
General Ning was stunned: "Huang Xiaoshi, isn't it Huang Yishi?" but then sneered: "Yes, you are really just a small stone that will break in a single roll." No matter who this masked man is, no matter what three knives were broken a hundred years ago, even if you have three heads and six arms, today I guarantee that you will have your life to come, and you will not have your life to go!"
Huang Xiaoshi's complexion changed slightly, and he instinctively mentioned "retaining", and he wanted to draw his sword out of the sheath. However, before the blade left the sheath, it was easily stopped by Cheng Li, who reached out and put his hand on the scabbard. Huang Xiaoshi was stunned, subconsciously looked back, and then revealed a little relief.
Cheng Li nodded to him, then lowered his hand and took a step forward. said coldly: "Three heads and six arms, of course we don't have them." But there's one thing, you're right. All the people of the Horror Alliance will never want to leave again today. β
General Ning looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and before the laughter fell, he was suddenly stunned. His eyes were full of fierce light, and he shouted loudly: "All disciples listen to the order, kill!"
An order was given, as if a stone stirred up a thousand waves. Between the shouts and shouts, the five alliance masters such as Jin Mu, Shuihu, Huo Tu, and Chen Jingun, Gu Kongwei, He Jingbo, Niu Jijiao, Liu Twist, etc., a total of ten masters, all rushed out at the same time, and made the strongest blow that he had been building up for a long time.
What broke the string and stabbed three swords? What retained the strange sword? The top ten masters no longer believed that there could be anyone in the whole world who could survive the joint blow of the top ten masters? It was absolutely impossible, even if he was Li Yanzhou, or even the legendary Black Demon God Monarch, it was absolutely impossible!
But in the next moment, something unexpected happened to everyone present, even Huang Xiaoshi. Cheng Li didn't even reach out to draw the knife, but reached into his arms with his backhand and took out a short-handled thunderbolt?
No, that's not a thunderbolt. That was Cheng Li's "Thunder of Destruction"!
Pulling out the gun in his hand, Cheng Li did not hesitate, and the muzzle of the gun was clasped tightly with his index finger towards the sky. Whispered, "Come on." Start your performance. But, no matter how hard you struggle, there is only one end for you. That is β despair. β
