Fengbo Town, a small town in the south of Gushan County, is small in scale and has less than 10,000 people.

There are three major martial arts gangs in Fengbo Town, namely the Huafeng faction, the Hengyang faction and the Jiangxiang faction, among which the Jiangxiang faction is the strongest, because Kan Hong, the head of the Jiangxiang faction, has the strength of the peak martial arts sect, and can be called the number one master in the entire Fengbo Town.

The leaders of the martial arts gang are basically innate martial sects, and most of them only have the strength of new martial arts or powerful martial sects, and there are not many who can become peak martial sects, so the Jiangxiang faction can overwhelm the other two factions and become the most powerful civil force in Fengbo Town.

However, there are rumors in the market that Kan Hong, the head of the Jiangxiang faction, colluded with bandits and did some shady things in private. It's just that until now, Kan Hong is still alive and well, but those who chew the root of their tongues disappear one after another, and over time, no one dares to talk nonsense anymore, and when they see the people from the Jiang Xiang faction, they lower their heads to avoid it, and they don't dare to breathe.

Today is the day when Kan Dazhang visits the pear garden. The pear garden is a tea house, there is a big garden in the backyard, there are many pear trees, there are often opera troupes performing here, and Kan Hong has to come once or twice a month, call for a pot of good tea, while tasting tea, while listening to the music and watching the play.

The business of Pear Garden is very good, and every time there is a theater performance, it is even full, but today all the guests are crowded downstairs, but the second floor is all cleared, and there are only a few people.

Everyone in Fengbo Town knows that Kan is upstairs, so although there are many people downstairs, they all speak quietly, and none of them dare to make noise, for fear of disturbing Yaxing, who is Kan Zhangmen, and causing a disaster.

After a while, the opera officially began, everyone was concentrating on watching the play, and Kan Hong, who was sitting firmly on the second floor, stepped on the chair with his feet cocked, looking reckless, shaking his head and humming along.

At this time, a young man with red lips and white teeth walked in at the door, dressed plainly and dusty. He looked around, saw Kan Hong on the second floor, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked towards the staircase with a smile.

There was a man in a strong suit guarding the staircase, and when he saw that the young man was going upstairs, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with an unkind face: "Upstairs was sent by our Jiang Xiang, if you want to watch a play, you can find a place downstairs." ”

The young man smiled slightly: "I'm not here to see the play." ”

"Didn't you come to see the play?" The man in the costume was stunned for a moment, still thinking about the young man's intention, but as a result, the person who had just spoken disappeared in an instant, just like a ghost in the daytime.

And Kan Hong upstairs has not yet noticed the situation at the staircase below, his attention is almost on the stage, but after all, he is a peak martial artist, and his sensing ability far exceeds that of ordinary martial artists, just when he was fascinated, he suddenly turned his head sharply, and saw a figure behind him, it was the young man who disappeared from the staircase.

Kan Hong stared at the young man vigilantly, frowned and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"

Before the young man could answer, several Jiang Xiang faction subordinates who were surrounding Kan Hong showed their weapons and surrounded him, and the bright blades were facing the direction of the young man at the same time.

As if he hadn't seen these knives, the young man's eyes fell on Kan Hong's face, and he said flatly: "You are Kan Hong, the head of the Jiangxiang faction, right?"

Kan Hong put down the teacup in his hand and slowly stood up: "It's Kan, dare to ask your Excellency for advice?"

The young man replied, "I don't dare to give advice, so I want to borrow your head." ”

Hearing this, Kan Hong knew that the comer was not good, and immediately yelled "presumptuous", raised his right hand, and punched the young man.

The young man did not dodge or dodge, and he also waved his fist to meet him, and he heard a click, and the tall Kan Hong was blown away by the young man's punch, and fell from the second floor to the stage opposite, blood spurted wildly in his mouth, and the whole right arm was blurred with flesh and blood, hanging down softly, looking very miserable.

"It's too weak! it doesn't have any effect at all!" the young man shook his head and sighed, as if he was disappointed in Kan Hong's vulnerability.

Those men of the Jiang Xiang faction were stunned for a while, they didn't expect that the high-ranking master would be blown away by someone with a punch, and when they reacted and wanted to attack with a knife, the young man had already jumped from the second floor and landed beside Kan Hong.

Kan Hong knew that he was not this person's opponent, so he desperately endured the pain, got up and ran out of the door. Who knew that the young man's body was very fast, and a dodge actually went around in front of Kan Hong, and punched Kan Hong's head.

I don't know if Kan Hong was frightened or didn't react fast enough, he didn't respond in time, he was punched in the face by the young man, and his whole head exploded like a smashed watermelon, and the red and white splashes were everywhere, even the boy was not spared.

"Oops, I didn't expect to blow my head with one punch, I must not hit my head again next time!" the young man muttered, glancing at Kan Hong's body with regret, and then turned to leave.

There were all kinds of screams in the teahouse, and those people from the Jiang Xiang faction didn't dare to chase after the young man who looked at the back of the young man leaving, and even the head of Kan, who was the peak martial artist, was killed with two punches, where would these little martial artists have the courage to catch the murderer.

A few days later, a dusty young man came to the foot of Hutou Mountain outside Pingshan County, he was Qi An, who had killed Kan Hong, the head of the Jiangxiang faction, with two punches in Fengbo Town not long ago.

Entrenched in Hutou Mountain is a group of strongmen named red-clothed thieves, whose fame is not under Liuxian Village in Qingliang Mountain, and it is also the number one thief force in the backing county, but the scale of the red-clothed thieves is much smaller than that of Liuxian Village. There are three masters in Liuxian Village, with 500 subordinates, and there is only one leader of the red-clothed thieves, that is, Zhao Hu, and there are only more than 100 people under him. It can be seen that Zhao Hu's cultivation is likely to be above Li Liuxian.

Qi An did not plan to blatantly break into the mountain like he did when he attacked Liuxian Village two years ago, but used his skills to quietly walk up the mountain under the cover of trees and blades of grass.

The red-clothed thieves' lair is located on the mountainside of Hutou Mountain, where there is a cave, which is said to extend in all directions and has several exits, which was arranged by the red-clothed thieves and became their base.

The information Qi An got did not indicate the location of the cave, and he needed to find it himself, in order to avoid startling the snake, Qi An acted cautiously, for fear that Zhao Hu would be prepared and escape from other caves.

In fact, it was Qi An who was too worried, and Zhao Hu, as the leader of the bandits, had been running for many years, so how could he be a cowardly person who ran away when he saw someone? You must know that these bandits were all outlaws, and they lived a life of licking blood on the knife edge, so how could they be frightened by Qi An's half-sized son? Unless Qi An's fame was greater than that of Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu might be jealous and dare not fight.

Hutou Mountain is not big, but Qi An still searched for more than two hours, and finally found a few red-clothed figures squatting between a cliff wall full of branches and foliage to watch the wind. Qi An looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw a hole behind several people, which should be the hiding place of the red-clothed thief.

Qi An touched the edge of the cave not far away, picked up a small pebble from under his feet and threw it at the distance opposite, and the sound of "pop" pierced a small tree, causing the tree to shake and the branches and leaves rattling.

Several red-clothed thieves crouching at the entrance of the cave heard the movement, leaving one person to guard the entrance of the cave, and the rest of the people looked over there to check the situation. Qi An took advantage of this opportunity to show his quick body technique, and rushed into the cave like a glimpse, and the red-clothed thief who stayed behind at the entrance of the cave did not notice.

There was an oil lamp lit at intervals in the cave, and it was not as dim as expected, Qi An walked inward against the stone wall of the cave, and found several simple stone chambers on the way, and there were many red-clothed thieves in it, or chatting, or sleeping, or doing something at hand, all of them did not notice the intrusion of outsiders.

However, Qi An soon heard a series of footsteps on the road ahead, obviously a group of people were coming from the other side, and there was no hiding place in this stone cave, seeing that the two sides were about to meet, Qi An jumped up violently, like a gecko clinging to the top of the cave, hiding his figure in the dark area where the two oil lamps in front and behind happened to be unable to illuminate.

More than twenty people below connected and passed, and no one looked up. Of course, no one would have imagined that there was a person attached to the stone wall above their heads.

When the group was far away, Qi An fell from the top of the cave and continued to walk forward.

Soon after, Qi An found a stone room that was obviously a little different from other places, the door was opened neatly, not only was there a stone door blocking it, but there was also a red-clothed thief guarding the door on each side of the door, which was obviously an important place, and Qi An guessed that Zhao Hu was probably inside.

The cave is bare and almost uncovered, and it is extremely quiet, it is impossible to use the method of diverting the tiger from the mountain, otherwise it will be a startling snake, so Qi An planned to do it directly. With a step, he directly used the method of stepping on the moon and chasing the stars, and the distance of seven or eight zhang had passed in less than half a breath, and Qi An had already rushed to the side of the two gatekeepers.

The cultivation of these two people is not high, just saw Qi An's figure appear, and before he could react, the two palms were pressed on the chests of the two of them, and the fierce palm power instantly shattered the hearts of the two, and at the same time, blood overflowed from the mouth, and they fell softly.

Qi An withdrew his palms, pushed open the stone door in front of him in a good time, and walked in.

Behind the stone door is a spacious and neat stone room, there are not too many furnishings, there is a stone bed directly opposite the stone door, on which there is a bearded man sitting cross-legged, seems to be meditating and refining qi, after hearing the sound of the stone door moving, his eyes opened violently, and his sharp eyes pierced Qi An who stepped into the stone room like a sword.

Qi An saw the portrait and naturally recognized that this person was the leader of the red-clothed thieves in Hutou Mountain, a wanted criminal in the court, Zhao Hu.
