Chapter 5 Suppressing the Four Seas and Dividing the Rudder
readx;? As mentioned earlier, Ding Peng's anger disappeared and did not befall the star disciples, the reason was not that he had figured it out, but that his anger had been diverted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The object of anger was the rudder of the Four Seas Gang, who had threatened to retaliate in Shangluo.
The power of the Concentric Alliance is mainly distributed in the south of the Yangtze River, but in recent years, it has gradually begun to penetrate into the north, and a branch was established in Baoji City a year ago, preparing to build it into a branch of the Concentric Alliance, but it was squeezed out by the Four Seas Gang from the beginning, and many plans were directly or indirectly destroyed by the other party, and the development was extremely unsmooth.
The original plan was to teach the Four Seas Gang a lesson, but now, it happened to be a punching bag for him to vent his frustration.
That night, Cao Xingzhi came out of the courtyard rented by Ji Feng, his mood was confused and anxious, and he just wanted to find someone to fight hard, so he thought that there was still a rudder waiting for him from the Four Seas Gang.
He didn't hesitate, directly to the Sihai Gang rudder, for this rudder, he has a deep memory, for the iron ore matter, he came here several times, and took the opportunity to make friends with the rudder master Xiang Jin Kuan at that time, but I don't know if he is still in charge now.
For Xiang Jinkuan, Ding Peng's feelings are more complicated, on the day of the destruction of Lingshan, speaking of which the Four Seas Gang is also one of the members of the fallen stone, when Ding Peng needed assistance the most, Xiang Jinkuan chose to stand by and watch, which made Ding Peng very disappointed. However, according to the memory of the conduct, in the end, Xiang Jin Kuan pretended to be stupid and cut the iron rope, which was indirectly helped himself, in general, Ding Peng could not treat him as an enemy, but he would no longer have the kindness he used to be.
More than two years have passed, maybe he is no longer in Baoji, and the people and things in his memory are constantly changing.
Ding Peng thought wildly, he had come to the rudder of the Four Seas Gang, and after a few years, although the rudder was still in its original location, it seemed that the scale was obviously much larger, and the entire street had become the territory of the rudder.
From the style of the rudder, it can be seen that the power of the Four Seas Gang in the local area is much greater than that of the Tongxin Alliance.
Although it was night, there were a few big men with weapons in their hands outside the rudder, and when they saw the bad behavior of one of the deputies, one of the big men shouted: "What kind of person! This is the important place of the Four Seas Gang, if there is nothing important, retreat quickly!"
"Something!" said Conduct coldly.
The big man took a lantern to take a photo, and after seeing his face clearly, he asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"
"One heart alliance, a sword to fight blood. β
Hearing the words of the Tongxin Alliance, several big men were taken aback and shouted, "Is my friend here to find fault?"
"Exactly!"
After saying that, the exercise blew violently like a gust of wind, and several big men were even hit by his body, and he was already flying out of the scabbard.
A big man screamed after landing on the ground: "Come on, there are assassins......"
Regardless of the conduct, he went straight to the wide gate, and kicked the heavy and thick gate like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and the flying wood chips knocked several guards behind the door to the ground.
The screams continued to sound, one of the exercises stepped into the door, suddenly, there was a heavy sound of wind on the right side, the wrist of the exercise shook slightly, and the long sword with the scabbard was suddenly pressed against the chest of a big man, the big man held a thick iron axe and slashed his head, and suddenly found that his chest was held by a long sword, it was too late, inertia took him to continue to move down, an axe split the air, the chest pain was unbearable, and the ribs were broken a few times.
"Ahh......h
Xingzhi continued to move forward, and from time to time, three or two people from the Four Seas Gang who heard the news came to attack with weapons, but his wrists shook slightly, and the Flowing Wind Sword was not unsheathed, and they were all put to the ground.
"Stop!"
A loud roar sounded suddenly, and a bunch of people came out of the hula in front, led by a stout man, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Where did my good friend break into my Sihai Gang rudder?"
The eyes of the stout man stared, looking at the familiar face of the stout man, there was a feeling that something was wrong in his heart, for no other reason, this stout man was the old man that Ding Peng thought of just now - the former Sihai Gang Baoji rudder master Xiang Jin Kuan.
I didn't think that two years later, he was still in Baoji City!
This person is Xiang Jinkuan, he is still the helmsman of Baoji, but with his qualifications, he should have been promoted earlier, but Xiang Jinkuan is unwilling.
In the past two years, he has practiced the knife technique hard, and his skills have been greatly improved, with his cultivation and qualifications, he has already been interested in transferring him to a more important position, but he has always chosen to refuse, the reason is that he is worried that Jin Kuan will change the new environment and will waste the knife technique.
He vowed to practice his sword skills to the top, and then defeat him in public in order to wash away the shame on his body.
But what Xiang Jinkuan never expected was that he hadn't found trouble with his behavior, but the other party took the initiative to find him.
When he stared at Xingxing, Xiang Jin Kuan finally saw who it was, and a wave of anger that had been accumulated for several years erupted from the bottom of his heart, Xiang Jin Kuan's angular face suddenly turned red, and said angrily: "Xingzhi, it turned out to be you!"
"Yes, it's me!"
Xiang Jin strode forward, walked to a distance of less than three meters away from the conduct before stopping, and said in a deep voice: "The hatred of the broken finger back then, Xiang has always remembered it, Lao Tzu did not look for you, but you sent it to the door, conduct it, today is the day when you are ruined, Xiang Mou, as the master, must treat you well." β
Conduct said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, I just want to find someone to beat me up tonight, I hope you won't be as wasted as before!"
Xiang Jin Kuan gritted his teeth angrily, and said fiercely: "When you cut off Lao Tzu's finger that day, Lao Tzu looked at the face of those old guys in the Tongxin Alliance, and he didn't want your life, today you only need to leave ten fingers." β
The corners of Conduct's mouth slowly spread, and a cold smile came out: "I can't be unhappy alone!
After the last word was spoken, a sword light flashed up, and the Flowing Wind Sword had already struck Xiang Jinkuan's chest.
Xiang Jin Kuan had already taken precautions, quickly drew his knife, and slashed out three swords in an instant, and when Dangdang, he almost blocked all the three swords from the attack of Cao Xing with great precision.
"Yes, there is progress. β
A dazzling sword light suddenly appeared on Xiang Jin Kuan's left side, and Xiang Jin Kuan made three more swords, once again blocking the three swords that came from the attack of Conduct.
Xiang Jinkuan seemed to be easy to block, but his heart was very shocked, he never imagined that he had practiced hard day and night in the past two years, almost not the slightest relaxation, driven by hatred, almost all his energy and effort to exercise his knife skills, he thought that he could win the operation, but in the first day of fighting, he found that the other party had made great progress in the past two years.
How can it be!
Xiang Jin Kuan was not convinced, took the initiative to attack, slashed obliquely, and conjured up countless knife shadows, unable to distinguish which knife was true and which knife was false.
It was Xiang Jin Kuan who learned from the three swords of madness - the three swords of disillusionment.
Two years ago, when the two were fighting, Xiang Jin Kuan had to open out three knives in a row, one knife was as fast as a knife, and the knife momentum was continuous, so that he could conjure up countless true and false knife shadows, two years later, he only easily opened up a knife, and the knife had already conjured countless knife shadows in the middle, which showed that Xiang Jin Kuan's knife technique had become faster, more strange and unpredictable.
In the past two years, he has really made great progress.
"Dang!"
With lightning speed, the long sword pointed obliquely, accurately judging the true knife path in countless knife shadows, and blocking the knife that slashed at Jin Kuan sideways.
Xiang Jin Kuan was unforgiving, a knife was blocked, the blade turned again, like a storm and rain quickly opened out several knives, the sky was full of knife shadows, the knife wind was colder than the most drastic north wind, the skin of the person who cut it was in severe pain, and the timid people did not talk about fighting, just this scene can scare them away.
"Dangdangdang...... Dangdangdang......"
The drill does not retreat, does not dodge, does not dodge, the wrist rotates more freely than the most flexible gear, constantly shaking, the long sword accurately blocks the knife path, and slashes to Jin Kuan six times in a row, all of which are blocked by him.
Xiang Jin Kuan roared, the momentum around his body skyrocketed, quite a kind of horizontal knife immediately spirit, the long knife was raised by him above his head, and then a knife slashed downward, the momentum was fierce, better than the force to split Huashan.
This knife slashed, and in the middle of the knife, there were countless knife shadows, but Cao Xingzhi's face showed an unprecedented cautious expression, because he found that these knife shadows were not all phantoms, and in the process of slashing Jin Kuan's knife, there were even slight tremors, which caused the real knife path to change constantly.
In other words, this knife has become an unpredictable knife, and before the knife is implemented, even Xiang Jin Kuan himself may not be able to grasp the exact position, because it is unpredictable, so it cannot be judged in advance, and naturally there is no way to stop it.
This knife, Xiang Jin Kuan truly comprehended the essence of the disillusionment knife technique, the real into the virtual, the virtual into the real, the real is the virtual, the virtual is the real.
The knife was about to fall, looking at Cao Xingzhi still did not dodge, nor did he block it with his sword, he showed a hideous smile on Jin Kuan's face, this knife he will not kill the other party, but will only seriously injure him, and then slowly play and tease the other party like a cat and mouse, so as to take revenge for the hatred of the severed finger that day and the shame it brings.
The knife fell, countless phantoms turned into a knife, and accurately fell to Cao Xingzhi's left shoulder, when the knife light reached his body, Xiang Jin Kuan suddenly stopped the knife momentum, Cao Xingzhi's sword didn't know when, it was already pointing at his throat, the distance was only two inches, if he insisted on cutting the knife into the other party's shoulder, then there was no doubt that Cao Xingzhi's sword would also stab or even pierce his throat.
Xiang Jin Kuan showed a very regretful expression, put the knife away, and touched the sword body of the exercise, and the two of them took a few steps back at the same time.
Just now, it was because of his eagerness to seek merit, if he wasn't too impatient, he wouldn't have been able to resolve that knife at all. If not, he wouldn't have risked his life with a lose-lose approach!
Xiang Jin Kuan comforted himself like this, he absolutely didn't believe it, and he couldn't admit that he had practiced hard for two years, and he would still not be an opponent for conduct.
Although he found a seemingly reasonable reason to comfort himself, there was still a shadow in Xiang Jinkuan's heart.
Why was his sword so fast? When did he point it at his throat, and why didn't he see it?
Xiang Jin Kuan forced himself not to think about it, raised the knife in his hand, and quickly approached the execution, suddenly, Xiang Jin Kuan took a long breath violently, and the blade of the knife waved, and there was a layer of hazy fluorescence on the long knife in the night.
"Dao Gang?" Cao Xingzhi's face finally changed, and the Flowing Wind Sword made a buzzing sound, and it collided with Xiang Jinkuan's long knife continuously.
The sound of metal clashing like a torrential rain pierced the eardrums, and the people of the Four Seas Gang who were watching the battle on the side suddenly covered their ears, and some of those who were slightly inferior in martial arts had already shown pain on their faces and unconsciously retreated backwards.
Cao Xiang two swords to sword, without retreating, with a hard move to fight each other for dozens of rounds, Xiang Jin Kuan's long knife on the fluorescence became weaker and weaker, and finally it was dark and invisible, only the dim metal reflection under the light, Cao Xingzhi suddenly slashed again, Xiang Jin Kuan could not avoid it, the knife blocked, click, the long knife had been split into two by the Liufeng Sword, the sword wind of the Liufeng Sword was as sharp as a blade, although it did not cut Xiang Jin Kuan, but because the distance was too close, it still cut a bloody mark on his face.
When Chang fell, as the broken knife fell to the ground, Xiang Jin Kuan held half of the broken knife like dead ashes.
He never thought that after two years of hard training, the result was still not an opponent of the conduct, and looking at the other party's relaxed appearance, I am afraid that he was far from doing his best.
At least the Phantom Excalibur that made him hate back then didn't come out, and if he used the Phantom Sword Technique, what a nightmare it was?
Looking at Xiang Jinkuan's depressed appearance, Cao Xingzhi did not ridicule him, but said: "I didn't expect that Master Xiang Helm would actually practice Daogang, Cao admires it!"
He waved his hand to Jin Kuan to stop the gang behind him, and said miserably: "Xiang is not as good as others, and he is defeated in your hands again, why do you deliberately mock it?"
Xingzhi smiled and said, "I need to mock you? Xiang Helmsman does have a trace of admiration for me, it is not easy for you to be able to practice the sword without a teacher in two years! Although you are still defeated in my hands today, it is far stronger than you two years ago, maybe the crazy three swords did not have such a cultivation as you in the prime of life, maintain such a level, and Xiang Helmsman will definitely have something to do in the rivers and lakes in the future." β
Xiang Jin Kuan smiled bitterly: "My master was called a snitch by the people of the rivers and lakes back then, and he was despised for martial arts, even if I could be blue, what was the use." That's it, today's defeat has made Xiang Mou's heart like ashes, when everything is over, I will retire to the rivers and lakes, no longer fighting and fighting. β
Xingzhi groaned: "After all, the three swords of disillusionment have fallen behind, if Xiang Helmsman wants to achieve something in knife skills in the future, it is better to study and study the knife gang more." β
"Dao Gang, you mean the energy attached to my knife?"
The fluorescence attached to Xiang Jinkuan's knife is the external manifestation of qi to a certain extent, his long knife is just an ordinary steel knife, but it can collide with the incomparable Flowing Wind Sword dozens of times in a row, it is precisely because of the existence of surface qi, but Xiang Jinkuan is also just able to condense the qi on the surface of the blade, as for how to use it, it is not too skilled.
Xingzhi nodded: "Master Xiang Helm should have broken through some martial arts shackles recently, and he has gained something." If you have time, you can study more, and maybe there will be another gain. β
Xiang Jin Kuan was stunned, he felt that the behavior in front of him was a little strange, and he couldn't tell how strange it was, anyway, compared with the cold and arrogant behavior back then, the person in front of him had some indescribable changes. Of course, he didn't suspect that Conduct was fake, after all, it was difficult to cheat in martial arts cultivation, and he couldn't think of that aspect at all, but he just had some doubts about Jin Kuan, why did Conduct Xingzhi say these words to himself very patiently, and there seemed to be a hint of guidance?
But immediately, the conduct returned to normal, he jumped forward, took off the rudder flag of the Sihai Gang Baoji rudder, and said coldly: "The concentric alliance and the Sihai Gang do not violate the river water, the two families go their own way, the Sihai Gang was aggressive before, Cao Mou took off the letter flag of your rudder today, if you want to get it back, you can go to my concentric alliance to get it." β
Xiang Jinkuan knew that he couldn't stop it, and said hatefully: "Didn't Your Excellency go too far?"
Xingzhi snorted and said, "I'm not happy today, then you will accompany me together!"
After saying that, he disappeared between the eaves.
