Chapter 145: Fishing in Troubled Waters
30th year of Emperor Mingzong, October.
The army of Pingyang Kingdom came to attack and quickly captured the Taibai City of the Ming Kingdom.
The sonorous iron cavalry broke through the city gate, and Taibai City was declared lost.
The whole city was in a mess, and the arrows rained down like hail.
The soldiers of Pingyang Kingdom screamed loudly, holding torches in their hands and burning everywhere.
Jiang Cheng was stained with blood, and a few ruffians who didn't have long eyes on the road just now blocked his way.
He stabbed one by one and killed effortlessly.
The onlookers on the side saw that he was so fierce and retreated one after another, which also made Jiangcheng's follow-up road much smoother.
His destinations were the Qiankun Medical Pavilion and the Taibai Martial Arts Pavilion, and he was not interested in anything else.
There are many places in Taibai City where a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance are stored, including the mansions of the four major families, which have now become fragrant and sweet, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.
Jiang Cheng came all the way to the Qiankun Medical Center, and the originally hanging signboard had been smashed to the ground.
Jiang Cheng walked into the lobby and saw that the medicinal herbs were spilled all over the ground, and there were a lot of blood stains, it looked like there should have been a fight.
This made him chuckle in his heart, he wouldn't be preempted by others, right?
Jiang Cheng hurriedly came to the backyard, only to see Cui Lao lying on his back in a pool of blood, and several men in black were rummaging through boxes and cabinets to collect valuable things.
These men in black are also martial artists, probably at the stage of the first product completion, and they are also sideways in this Taibai City.
The magic knife in Jiang Cheng's hand came out of its sheath and slashed at the black-clothed man closest to him, and the snow as bright as silver flashed.
Poof.
The body of the man in black separated, and blood was spilled on the ground.
The rest of the black-clothed people were startled by the movement here, and they all took out their weapons and faced Jiang Cheng, their faces full of vigilance.
"Friend, everyone is here to make a fortune, why kill each other?"
One of the men in black stood up and said, "There are a lot of valuable things here, how about we divide them together?" ”
These people saw that Jiang Cheng was not easy to mess with and tried to live in peace.
Jiang Cheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, the long knife in his hand pointed diagonally at the ground, and the piercing thunder light spread around him.
"What kind of magic is this, why is it so dazzling!"
All the black-clothed people present were stunned, frightened by this thunder light.
The gravel under his feet flew sideways, and Jiang Cheng disappeared in place in an instant, bursting out with an almost teleportation speed, this is shaving!
After Jiang Cheng broke through the second-grade martial artist, his control over his body became more flexible, and he became much more proficient in the use of shaving.
"So fast!"
"Friend, stop first........"
The man in black who bore the brunt of the attack was holding a knife in front of him, and his eyes couldn't catch Jiang Cheng's figure at all.
The sound of breaking wind struck, and Jiang Cheng had already appeared behind several people, his body was low, and the magic knife was raised sideways.
Puff, puff........
Several charred heads fell to the ground, and Jiang Cheng eliminated all the enemies in a breath.
"After ...... Epigenetic. ”
As soon as Jiang Cheng withdrew the Thousand Blades of the Demon Knife, he heard a small voice behind him.
I saw Cui Lao, who was lying in a pool of blood, barely opened his eyes and gasped for breath, "Housheng, you hide so deeply, old man........ The old man even looked away...... Ahem......! ”
Cui Lao couldn't stop coughing, his abdomen was red, blood kept flowing out, and he couldn't survive.
Jiang Cheng looked at the other party and sighed, "You said that you had to guard this medical hall for what you were doing, and you gave your life in vain." ”
"Alas," Cui Lao finally stopped coughing, "You can also help me avenge, all my things are in the bed board, you can take them, give them to you........"
After explaining, Cui Lao closed his eyes forever.
Jiang Cheng shook his head and walked in the direction of Cui Lao's finger.
Cui Lao's death sounded the alarm for Jiang Cheng, "No matter where you are, you can live longer if you have the strength." ”
He went inside, split the bed in half with a knife, and sure enough, found a package in a mezzanine.
The package is slightly heavy, and it weighs about five catties.
When the package was opened, it revealed a silver tael of white flowers, with a small amount of gold and jewels inside.
Jiang Cheng put all these things into the ring, leaving only a booklet in his hand.
"What is this?"
Jiang Cheng opened the booklet, which was a manuscript with three big characters of "Qiankun Sutra" written on it.
After flipping through a few pages, Jiang Cheng found a prescription called the Five Poisons Soul Snatcher Soup, which detailed the medicinal materials and amounts needed to boil it.
Jiang Cheng put the booklet away, set fire to the Qiankun Medical Hall, and then walked out.
Watching Cui Lao's body burn in the raging fire, Jiang Cheng's heart did not feel the joy of getting the prescription, but was a little heavy.
..........
"Let's get in, big guys!"
"Let's go together, Xi Jingshan's damn old thing, he is almost in his twilight, his qi and blood are weak, and his legs and feet are not dexterous, so there is no need to worry about it at all."
"Today, I will break through this Taibai Martial Arts Pavilion and kill Xi Jingshan, the old horseman, to vent my anger!"
Jiang Cheng was attracted by the noise at the entrance of the Taibai Martial Arts Pavilion not far away.
I saw a few masked strong men banging on the door of the martial arts hall with their weapons, rumbling!
"Whew, get out of the way, let me come!"
A shirtless man shouted angrily, and the muscles on the mountain flashed with a bronze luster, this was a brute strength, and it had already cultivated to the second-grade qi strength realm!
"Break it for me!"
The shirtless man carried a sledgehammer in his left hand and smashed it towards the gate of the martial arts hall.
Boom!
There was a loud bang, dust and smoke rose everywhere, and a hole was blasted out of the gate.
"Brothers, rush together!"
"Chong, Zuo Wenbin heard that he has died on the front line, as long as he kills Xi Jingshan, the things in this martial arts hall are ours!"
Jiang Cheng watched the martial arts hall being destroyed from the sidelines, and sneaked in behind everyone.
It seems that this Xi Jingshan usually has no less enemies, and before the soldiers of Pingyang Kingdom came over, he was rushed by his own people first.
Seeing that these people are all practicing kung fu, they are obviously practicing very well, and they should all be disciples of the martial arts hall before.
However, on the surface, these people said that they killed Xi Jingshan to vent their hatred, but in fact, they also came for the secret book of the exercises of brute strength.
In the martial arts hall, Xi Jingshan led a group of disciples to confront the incoming enemy.
"You traitors!"
Xi Jingshan's expression was sad and angry, and his eyes were slightly red.
Not long ago, I just received news that a group led by Zuo Wenbin was ambushed outside the city and all died tragically.
This is the backbone of the martial arts hall, and now that the whole army has been wiped out, after Xi Jingshan learned about it, the whole person instantly aged ten years old.
Before he could recover from the pain of losing his disciple, the martial arts hall was besieged, and a large number of masked people broke in, burned, killed and looted.
And many of them use brute strength, and even some people can still name Xi Jingshan.
"Lei Xiangfei, I didn't expect you to be here!"
Xi Jingshan scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu treats you well, and he will teach you what he has learned all his life, but you will take revenge!" ”
"Hehe, old horseman, I'm still hard-mouthed when I'm dying," the man named Lei Xiangfei sneered, "Your grandfather and I studied martial arts in your martial arts hall, and I was troubled by you everywhere, and I wouldn't have given me the exercises of the three grades, if it weren't for you, I might have been three grades a long time ago!" ”
"Brother Lei is right, everyone is here today to seek justice, the blood that was sucked by this old man before, let him return it a hundred times today!"
As soon as the words fell, several people shot at the same time, and their bodies flashed, and they fought together.
In an instant, the fist shadow flew over, and everyone used brute bull energy, everyone came out of the same door, and the moves were almost the same.
This scene made Jiang Cheng think that the same door was fighting with each other.
The physical strength of the two sides is constantly depleting, Xi Jingshan is old after all, and his qi and blood are very weak, and he is already sweating profusely after only a few rounds of fighting.
"You guys resist first!"
Xi Jingshan roared angrily, fought with the man surnamed Lei and jumped back.
Then he ignored the disciples who were fighting hard beside him, and ran into the backyard in a panic.
"This old ghost has run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, come and chase a few brothers after me, and kill the rest of those who are still resisting!"
Lei Xiangfei sneered, and followed Xi Jingshan's footsteps into the backyard in a few jumps.
........
After three months of hard work and Liang Feifei's help in resources, Ma Fei finally broke through the grade, but just a few days after breaking through the grade, he encountered a life-and-death battle.
At this time, Ma Fei was punched to the ground by a masked man, spitting blood.
Boom!
Ma Fei fell to the ground, unable to stand up, his face full of despair.
"Why bother to work for that old horseman and give your life in vain!"
A fat martial artist pressed forward step by step, and the long knife in his hand slashed towards Ma Fei.
At this moment, Ma Fei's eyes saw a person in the corner, "Jiang Cheng? Senior Brother Jiang, help me, help! ”
Ma Fei seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Cheng hysterically for help.
"Huh? Friend, which side of the hell are you? ”
The fat martial artist stopped, looked at Jiang Cheng with a knife, and his face was full of vigilance.
"I'm passing by, you continue to ......"
Jiang Cheng spread his hands, "I'll go after the old horseman, and I'll leave it to you here." ”
After saying that, he walked straight to the backyard.
"Ah...... Jiang Cheng, you? ”
Ma Fei's mouth opened wide in surprise, he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be an enemy.
Poof!
The scimitar in the fat man's hand was cut off, and Ma Fei's stunned head flew high.
..........
Jiang Cheng saw a lot of corpses along the way, including martial arts disciples and intruders.
He hid behind a rockery, only to see that Xi Jingshan was being besieged by four masked warriors of the second grade.
Although Xi Jingshan is a third-grade martial artist, his two fists are invincible to his four hands, and he can only keep dodging, which is very embarrassing.
The highest of these invaders is the second-grade masterpiece, because the most valuable thing in the Taibai Martial Arts Pavilion is the three-grade martial arts cheats.
The martial artists of the three grades are completely disdainful, and it is better to try their luck with the four great families and the money village if they have this kung fu.
Jiang Cheng did not go out immediately, but hid behind the rockery to watch the play.
One of the tall and thin martial artists sneaked up on Xi Jingshan's back and hit the other party with a stagger, "Haha, old horseman, I didn't expect it, you also have today!" ”
Xi Jingshan had just stood firm, and another attack came from the sky, so he had no choice but to roll on the ground.
He was already at the end of his crossbow, and the long, high-intensity fighting had left him almost exhausted.
What a martial artist cultivates is actually qi and blood, which is very similar to the qi and blood realm of Azure Star, the younger he is, the more advantageous he is.
Once you are old, your osteoporosis and your qi and blood are dull, your strength will decline rapidly.
So a few people were not in a hurry, Xi Jingshan was already a sleepy beast, as long as he slowly consumed his physical strength, he could easily win.
If Xi Jingshan is forced to be in a hurry, he can definitely burst out with a wave of powerful attacks before he dies, and maybe he can pull a few people on his back.
"Lei Xiangfei," the corners of Xi Jingshan's mouth overflowed with blood, panting, "Don't you just want the three-grade brute bull strength technique, I'll give it to you!" ”
"But I have one condition, after you get the exercises, you have to retreat immediately and don't come back again, how about it?"
"Hehe, old horseman, didn't you understand the situation, why don't we kill you first, and then go to find the exercises ourselves?"
Lei Xiangfei ripped off his black mask, revealing a smiling face.
"Yes, to tell you the truth, you will definitely die today."
Several people pressed towards Xi Jingshan step by step, "This is the retribution you deserve, if it weren't for you, our brothers would have broken through to the third grade a long time ago, so why bother to spend several years in vain in the second grade Dacheng, resulting in a lack of qi and blood now, and the difficulty of breaking through has greatly increased!" ”
"Ahem, wait!"
Xi Jingshan coughed up a pool of blood, "Don't you just want the three-grade exercise method of brute strength, why make up such a ridiculous reason." ”
"However, there is only one copy of this exercise, who do you say is better to give it to?"
Xi Jingshan's hands trembled and he took out a blood-soaked booklet from his arms, "Give it to you, take it!" ”
After saying that, he threw it behind several people.
Lei Xiangfei's eyes were happy, and he shouted to the three people on the side: "Brothers, let's work together to kill this old horseman first, and then copy the cheats together?" ”
"Okay, Brother Lei, this is a good idea."
"I agree!"
Several people laughed, their hands surging with energy, and they joined forces to besiege Xi Jingshan.
However, at this moment, Lei Xiangfei's fist suddenly changed direction and slammed into the tall and thin man on the side.
Boom!
The tall and thin man was defenseless, and was hit in the back by Lei Xiangfei's punch, spit out fragments of internal organs from his mouth, and fell straight down, seeing that he couldn't survive.
The other two seemed to have been prepared, gave up the siege of Xi Jingshan, and ran towards the exercise cheats behind them.
"I am bound to get this exercise, whoever robs it will die!"
"Lei Xiangfei, you are too arrogant, everyone is a second-grade master, and it is unknown who will kill the deer!"
One of the men in black was the first to pick up the booklet on the ground, turned around and ran outside.
"Hugh away!"
Lei Xiangfei was anxious and angry, took out a small box from his arms, pressed the mechanism inside, and countless steel balls burst out in an instant.
Burst! Burst!
The steel balls are so powerful that they resemble old-fashioned flintlock pistols.
The man in black was just running away, his back was completely defenseless, and he was shot into his body by several steel balls and fell to the ground.
The other reacted in time, holding the arm guard in front of him, barely blocking a few steel balls.
Before he could come back to his senses, he saw Lei Xiangfei rushing in front of him, and a powerful punch came towards the door in front of him.
At such a close distance, combined with Lei Xiangfei's energy, the opponent's head was instantly smashed into mud.
"Haha...... Naturally, the fewer people who know about this exercise, the more valuable it is, so you are worthy of sharing it with me. ”
Lei Xiangfei sneered and picked up the booklet on the ground.
And Xi Jingshan on the side, because of his serious injuries, had collapsed to the ground, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes when he saw Lei Xiangfei get the exercises.
"Ahem, it's a pity, this guy survived."
