Chapter 36: The Day of Double Death
In the middle of the day, it was already midday, the moonlight was bright, not half a minute, a few breezes blew, the leaves floated in the moonlight, like water waves, and the surroundings were as silent as death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Tan Lang sat in front of the temple gate against the wall, looking up at the short sword from time to time, since Mo Xiaotian left, he was like that, as if he was waiting for someone.
Today is the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the day of double death that fortune tellers often say, it is not advisable for Pepsi, that is, today is not a good day, and someone may die.
After a long time, so long that even the insect chirping disappeared, and finally, a person walked out of the darkness, black-clothed, masked, holding a short sword, a short sword that was the same as on the door plaque, he appeared like a ghost, and a pair of eyes were staring at Tan Lang.
"I didn't expect it to be you," Tan Lang said in surprise.
"You've got a secret kill order!" said the man in black.
"That's what you're talking about?" Tan Lang picked up the token and looked at it.
"Kang Jinlong, have you been away from the organization for too long, don't you even know the secret killing order?" asked the man in black.
"It's not that I don't recognize it, but why did it hand it over to me again?" Tan Lang asked.
"Well, maybe not for you and me," the man in black said.
"The lord once said that I have left the organization," Tan Lang said.
"This has nothing to do with me, you must know that the lord agreed, but I didn't agree, you, including me, belong to the zodiac," the man in black said.
"Hmph, I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?" Tan Lang snorted.
"I didn't stop you three years ago, but now I'm different from before," the man in black said coldly.
"Oh, I want to see how much you've grown in the past three years," Tan Lang said.
"Take your sword down," said the man in black, pointing to the short sword on the door.
"Since I hung it up, I won't pick it up again," Tan Lang said.
"In that case, I will accompany you empty-handed" said and stuck his sword on the ground, continuing: "There are only two results tonight, first, I die, you go, and second, I win, you die".
"This is the main bus generation?" Tan Lang said.
The man in black yelled, "Do it!" and said that he had already made a move, but did not answer.
Immediately afterwards, the man in black turned his hands into claws, and in just an instant, he had rushed to Tan Lang's body, and with a claw blow, he had hit Tan Lang's chest, Tan Lang's legs straddled the horse, his elbows were closed, and he forcibly blocked this move, the man in black immediately reversed his hands when he saw this, and wanted to attack and continue to attack his upper three ways, who knew that Tan Lang seemed to know his tricks well, every time he changed his moves, Tan Lang could follow him to change his moves at the same time, the two stood opposite each other, their hands were always entangled, and no one could hurt anyone.
The man in black kept changing his moves, Tan Lang kept dismantling his moves, fighting nearly fifty moves, the man in black seemed to have lost his patience, and suddenly roared, and forcibly shook Tan Lang back, Tan Lang took two steps back, stood still, looked very surprised and said slowly: "Your internal strength has improved so much?"
The man in black didn't speak, he suddenly pulled out the short sword from the ground and rushed towards Tan Lang, it was amazingly fast, it was a sword in his hand, Tan Lang was shocked, and hurriedly dodged, his body was also amazingly fast, and he suddenly stood aside, but he didn't move.
However, after the man in black only made this move, he didn't even attack anymore, only to see that Tan Lang's arm had clearly seen blood, and the blood flowed down with his arm, but Tan Lang's face was not half painful, more surprised.
"You still don't draw your sword?" asked the man in black.
Tan Lang kept replaying the picture just now in his mind, although that move was fast, but it was not fast enough, he flashed clearly, why was he still hit? Tan Lang looked down at the wound, it was a bruise, not a sword wound, and he already knew in his heart: his internal strength had already surpassed himself, and the sword just now was not injured by the sword itself, but by the sword qi emitted by the sword, and he didn't expect that in just three years, his internal strength was several times stronger, but this was not enough to kill himself, and it was still a little worse.
Tan Lang looked at the sword hanging on the door plaque, jumped up, and actually took him down, stroking the old friend who had not seen him for three years, familiar and strange.
"You're finally willing to use your sword, come on, let's have a good fight!" roared the man in black, looking very excited.
Before the words fell, suddenly, the two of them were stunned and looked at a big tree not far away.
At this time, I only heard "enough, stop" Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness.
Familiar voice, Tan Lang and the man in black are very familiar.
I saw a figure falling from the tree, snow-white hair floating in the air, under the moonlight, glowing white, it was Xiaotian.
"See the leader of the Howling Heavens" The man in black paid homage and looked very respectful.
Tan Lang also bowed shallowly.
"Winged Fire Snake, the Lord asked you to invite Kang Jinlong, and that's how you invited you?" roared Tian.
It turned out that this person was one of the snakes of the zodiac, and the winged fire snake was his code name.
"I'm sorry, the Winged Fire Serpent is guilty," he said, and the man in black bowed again.
"Let's go, I'll leave it here," Xiaotian roared.
"Yes, the Winged Fire Serpent knows" The man in black seemed to be full of disdain, and as soon as he turned around, he disappeared like a ghost.
"He's not here to invite you," Xiaotian sighed.
"He's here to kill me," Tan Lang said.
"Once you go back, the Winged Fire Snake will not be the boss, so he wants to kill you, but unfortunately, the Zodiac Organization directly belongs to the lord, and I can't control it," Xiaotian said.
"I didn't plan to go back, and from the day I left, I wasn't a member of the zodiac," Tan Lang said.
"But you're back, you shouldn't have come back at all," Xiaotian said.
"I'm coming back to see Sister Yun, not for the zodiac," Tan Lang roared.
"You're just like Xiaoyun, you're a hard-working child, and I know you've always liked her," Xiaotian said.
Tan Lang was silent and stopped talking.
"In the zodiac, the lord has always liked you the most, because you have always been the sharpest, there is no task that you can't complete, and more importantly, only you can unite each of them, give full play to everyone's abilities, and make the assassination perfect, I can't do it, and the winged fire snake can't do it," Xiaotian said.
"I'm tired of living like this, I hate blood, I hate killing, I'd rather be a beggar so I can find happiness, you know?" Tan Lang roared.
"I understand," Xiaotian said.
"No, you don't understand, you enjoy all this, and I'm different, I once cut off my finger and swore that I wouldn't hold a sword again, but today I still picked it up, and after three years, I actually feel that it's not strange, do you know how painful it is?" Tan Lang roared.
"This is your fate, this mission is different, without you, the mission will definitely not be completed, I promise this is the last time" Xiaotian said.
"Sister Yun must be very painful to follow you!" Tan Lang said.
After thinking about it, Xiao Tian smiled and said, "If you can complete this mission, I will let you leave with Xiaoyun"
"You actually used Sister Yun as a bargaining chip?" Tan Lang roared.
"It's a deal, not a bargaining chip," Xiao Tian said, looking indifferent.
Stunned, Tan Lang said softly: "This is the last time, for Sister Yun" As he spoke, he picked up the short sword and token, turned around and left, without looking back.
"April 15, the mouth of the Yangtze River, Fengbo Pavilion, I will wait for you," Xiaotian shouted.
Looking at Tan Lang's departing back, Xiao Tian smiled slightly, looking very proud.
At this moment, a figure quietly fell, slowly standing behind Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian seemed to be aware of it, and slowly looked back, and it was the winged fire snake that had just left.
The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.
The Winged Fire Serpent spoke, "Will he really come?"
"It seems that yes, what he says never falls short," Xiao Tian smiled.
"Congratulations to the Howling Leader!" the Winged Fire Serpent smiled.
"Thank you for accompanying me in such a play!" Xiaotian said.
"Where, if I could, I would have killed him," said the Winged Fire Serpent.
"If you hadn't forced him, maybe he would never have held a sword again," Xiao Tian said.
"Since the leader of Xiaotian has Leng Yunxi's hole card, why didn't he take it out earlier?"
"Hehe, if you want him to make a move willingly, you can't use Yunxi to threaten him, but lure him" Xiao Tian laughed.
The Winged Fire Snake arched his hand and smiled: "The leader of the Howling Sky is really scheming, I admire it, if we can join forces, this entire martial arts will be in our hands!"
"Shut up and do your own thing," Xiao Tian snorted coldly and left.
After eating Xiaotian like this, the Winged Fire Snake was suddenly very embarrassed, blushed, and looked at Xiaotian's back motionlessly, until the back disappeared into the darkness.
Under the moonlight, only the winged fire snake stood alone, suddenly, he clenched the sword in his hand, pulled it out in an instant, "rubbed it", and swung out three swords in the blink of an eye, that moment the killing intent soared to the sky, the sword qi roared, and all the surrounding grass and trees were cut off in an instant, and then, the winged fire snake suddenly put away his sword, got up and jumped, left, and everything returned to calm.
The moonlight is still so charming, and the sky is still the same quiet, but no one knows, and there is a little more solemnity in the air......
Under the moon, tonight, it was still calm, at least no one died, but, perhaps, this was just a prelude.
A big tree not far away, a figure, was revealed, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be Mo Xiaotian, who had already left.
He saw everything that had just happened, and it turned out that his departure was just to lure out the people behind Tan Lang.
However, this time, Mo Xiaotian was even more puzzled, could it be that there was a huge force on the rivers and lakes besides the Jiangnan Martial Arts League and the Tianlong Gang? Why did he never know?
What kind of organization is the 12 zodiac signs? Why have they never heard of it? What does the roaring sky have to do with this force? On April 15, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, at the Fengbo Pavilion, who are they going to assassinate?
Mo Xiaotian couldn't figure out these questions, but he knew that the rivers and lakes were about to undergo great changes, so he made a decision to follow Tan Lang and see what was going on. However, if he wants to track a master like Tan Lang, the difficulty can be imagined, he can only wait, go to the Storm Pavilion and wait.
As the saying goes, when the rivers and lakes are in turmoil, who will win and who will lose, who will know? It is the rain in front of us, and it is difficult to guard against the secret arrows behind it.
