Chapter XVIII

As the night recedes, a new reddish fish belly white appears in the sky, and a touch of daughter-like shy red also appears in mid-air, coupled with the blessing of rain and mist, paving a layer of gorgeous color to the black shantytown!

In the dark, a special shack, why is it special, because in such a crowded shanty town, this is the only shack with a yard and a fence! This is like in Yingtianfu, there are gardens and artificial ponds, all of which are rich and noble families, and this shack with a fence is naturally also a rich and noble family in a shanty town! Rank, comparison, in any class, this is the root of human inferiority!

At this time, the branches and leaves of an old apricot tree in the yard swayed and rustled, and the originally bright red lantern seemed to be infected by the surrounding black shacks, and also showed a dark red light, and under the impetus of the wind, cast a swaying and mottled shadow on the ground. The morning sun rose slightly, slowly covering the light of the lantern, the fog gradually dissipated, and everything was so comfortable!

But suddenly, there was a 'boom' and the lantern went out! The fence fell in response, the bamboo chips flew all over the place, and a figure swept out of the darkness, rushing to the door of the shack like lightning, and with one kick, he had already kicked the door open, and in a flash of cold light, a masked man standing behind the door fell down with his throat clutched, making a whirring sound like a bellows! The blood quickly stained the ground, and the masked man stopped convulsing after a few strokes, and was already exhausted and died, under the light of the blood-red light of the morning sun, this scene looked so weird!

In less than a moment, ten masked people holding black long knives flashed out of the shed, and the courtyard was already crowded with no less than thirty people, all of them in tight black clothes, wearing a theatrical mask, but no one said which drama type of mask this was, because in the Central Plains, I haven't heard of any drama that will wear a whole fox mask! Each of these fox masked men carried an eyebrow-level scimitar and crossbow arrows, and pointed them at the ten masked men who had just come out of the door!

It seemed to feel the solemnity of the atmosphere, and the rain became thicker, and the raindrops hit the wooden roof of the shack, like the rhythm of the horns, but everyone present had no time to appreciate it.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, and then disappeared without a trace, only reflecting the solemn faces of everyone present!

'Boom', another bolt of lightning, the light was even worse, only this time, the light was mixed with countless locust-like cold iron arrows, just like the pen of the judge of the underworld, quickly scribbled in the book of life and death, and took the lives of the six masked people!

The other four masked men were frightened, but they had retreated into the hut, and the arrows continued to fly out, and the bowstring was like a harp, and with the sound of the rain, it continued to play strange music, breaking through the rain curtain, and the sound of the piano was not broken, and the arrows had stopped, nailed to the wooden planks of the hut, leaving only the tail of the arrow violently trembling!

Suddenly, the black-clothed man in the fox mask who kicked open the door of the house before screamed, his figure skyrocketed, and he pulled out the eyebrow scimitar behind his back with his backhand, and his figure flashed, and he actually disappeared in place.

The black-clothed man in the fox mask suddenly appeared, but the masked man inside reacted not slowly, but in an instant, the wind in the house was wild, and the sword was light!

Seeing that the fox mask man in black who rushed into the house was about to be killed under the knife, he didn't want the door to suddenly explode and the sawdust flew everywhere, but he killed three more fox mask black-clothed people, and the blade of the knife was broken, and he directly pounced on the masked people around him!

The attack of the masked man in the house was instantly disrupted, but the figure of these fox masked black-clothed people shrank, and they actually disappeared in place strangely, just like groundhogs shrunk into their own burrows, but at this time they were in the shed, there were no holes in the ground, and the black-clothed people in fox masks were not groundhogs!

The masked man was caught off guard, and before he could react to what was going on, the ground under his feet twisted, and suddenly rushed out of a black-clothed man in a fox mask, and the scimitar in his hand had already been sent into the masked man's chest! Fatal with one hit.

When the other masked people saw this, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, this kind of strange body method was unheard of and unseen!

"Shrink the scope and get ready to transfer! Try to inform Peng Lao. One of the masked men said coldly, of the ten masked people who went out, six of them died under the arrow, plus one more died just now, only three of the ten remained, there were still ten in the Peng house, and there were only thirteen masked people, compared with the figures outside the house, it was really pitiful.

As a person who practices martial arts, the moment they fight, these masked people know that they are not the opponents of these people, not to mention that the number of opponents is several times greater than their own, but as for the man in black in the fox mask who took the lead in killing the shack, I am afraid that even Peng Lao's strength is difficult to compete! The thirteen masked people couldn't help but be awe-inspiring in their hearts, but they were not afraid!

The masked man standing at the front just said this, indicating that he would defend to the death, and the thirteen masked men withdrew from three, and under the cover of the rest of the masked men, flashed into a pile of boxes

The back of the sub.

"Ixor!" Suddenly, the leader of the fox mask black-clothed man turned his knife body, shouted, and brought the remaining three fox mask black-clothed men to kill the general, the rain outside the house was chaotic, and the footsteps were suffocating, it turned out to be the fox mask outside, and the black-clothed man divided into ten, rushed into the house, all of them had dog head masks, and opened their big mouths, which was very terrifying.

"Wows!" In the third year of Kenbun (1401), Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate of Japan, was persuaded by a merchant named Hitomi to send the merchant and his close monk Zua as envoys, carrying letters of state and tribute, to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. Later, in the first year of Yongle (1403), Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sent the monk of Tenryu Temple Kenaka Keitsu as an envoy to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the Yongle Emperor also ordered Zuo Tongzheng Zhao Juren, pedestrian Zhang Hong, and Monk Lu Si Youjiao Daocheng to send an envoy to Japan.

"The land of projectiles, the light of rice grains, how dare you compete with the bright moon!" The people of the Central Plains are always centered on themselves, and when they go out of the Central Plains, they are all barbarian lands, and even those south of Fujian are listed as 'barbarians'! So even if he doesn't think he's the opponent of the man in black with the fox mask, the identity of this widow is completely enough for the masked man to have the confidence to despise them!

"Humph! Then let you see how powerful the rice grains are! Mina, Ixor! The black-clothed man in the fox mask who took the lead sneered, said a sentence in stiff Chinese, and his body moved, and a knife had already slashed out!

Seeing that this person was so arrogant, the masked man who spoke just now moved in his heart, the black long knife in his hand shook, his footsteps moved, and he flew out, suddenly, a trace of foreboding flashed in his heart, but his eyes showed a frightened gaze, he stopped leisurely, and after turning his gaze around, he turned his gaze to the roof beams!

It turned out that the leader of the fox mask in black was the moment the leading façade man rushed out, and he shook up a black cloak, and the cloak fell to the ground immediately, but the fox mask man in black had disappeared!

"Ninja!" The masked leader secretly said in his heart that there are samurai and ninja in Japan, and the samurai yearn for the samurai spirit, while the ninja is more like an assassin, but different from an assassin, because a ninja is proficient in almost all the things of the three religions and nine streams. Blind your opponent with all means, including tools, poisons, and traps, and then kill them. And they themselves summed it up in four words: Wind Forest Volcano! To put it simply, it is similar to the Five Elements of the Central Plains.

It is better to be an enemy with a gentleman than to be a friend with a villain. Although this is a bit extreme, it is very suitable for ninjas, and although they may be invincible, they will not be plotted; This ninja is different, almost all of them are elusive sneak attack methods.

When the leading masked man looked up, the corners of his mouth showed a slight sarcastic smile, because he had already found that the man in black in the fox mask was hiding on the beam of the house, but before the masked man could move, the man in black in the fox mask on the beam of the house threw out his eyebrow scimitar with a 'bang', and the man jumped down and slashed at the masked man.

This knife was as fast as lightning, although the masked man found the trace of the man in black in the fox mask, he didn't expect the man in black in the fox mask to react so quickly, and he shot almost without giving him any chance!

The masked man can only do a backflip on the spot, hoping to avoid the fatal blow!

The sharp blade cut through the fabric, cut through the flesh, brought out a trace of blood, and drew a graceful arc in the air. The masked man's arm was hit by the man in black with a fox mask and almost broke his arm!

Immediately after the sound of 'bang', the eyebrow scimitar of the man in black in the fox mask slashed on the ground, bringing up sporadic sparks, as a person who practices martial arts, he can't control his knife, which is enough to prove the swiftness and power of the fox mask in black's attack, if it weren't for the masked man hiding fast, it might be the head on the neck that is broken now!

The fierce and vicious face of the black-clothed man in the fox mask turned to look at the masked man who was drenched in blood at this time, and the strange mask expression seemed to be mocking the masked man. The fox mask black-clothed man's feet hadn't landed yet, the tip of the knife was a little on the ground, and the body that fell quickly was just a moment, and he had stopped the downward trend, changed direction, and raised his knife to stab at the masked man again!

The masked man's hand holding the knife has lost his ability to resist, and he has not been able to cultivate to the realm of using both hands at the same time, so he can only resist with **, his body is slightly forward, he staggers forward, and a straight whip leg swept up by himself.

The black-clothed man in the fox mask turned his waist, and the attack just now was actually just a trick, the handle of the knife in his hand was flipped, and the scimitar had changed to a horizontal slash, directly slashing at the whip leg that the masked man swept over. The masked man could only forcibly restrain the whip leg, because kicking it like this would be tantamount to sending his leg up to be cut off! So the masked man gritted his teeth, directly pulled out a dagger, and rushed forward!

But the masked man didn't expect that the man in black in the fox mask suddenly took out a round ball the size of a crimson thumb from his pocket at this moment, and then threw it directly into the ground between himself and the man in black in the fox mask.

The violent explosion of 'boom' sounded the moment the crimson ball touched the ground, and a violent ball of fire and black smoke quickly gushed out and expanded! The masked man split the black smoke and rushed over, but there was still the shadow of the man in black with a fox mask!

"Get out of the shack!" The leading masked man suddenly shouted, but he was already a step too late, because immediately after that, dozens of explosions sounded in the shed, and the red fire and black smoke suddenly flipped like a rampaging dragon, and the morning shed flipped wantonly! In an instant, the whole shack was in flames!

On the other hand, those fox masked black-clothed men, their bodies were twisted, and they had disappeared and reappeared outside the shed. The shack was lit up into the sky, and the rain seemed to be drying out in mid-air before it had even landed. Only five of the dozen masked people came out, and all of them were not lightly injured! The rest were burned to the fire.

At this time, in the complex alley behind the shack, three masked people quickly left with an old man and a young man in a coma, blending into the darkness!
