On a rainy night, the Shangguan Mansion on the outskirts of Chang'an City was on fire, and the screams of men, women and children were endless. Twenty or so masked men in black hid in the woods outside the house, watching this human tragedy coldly.

After a while, the screams gradually disappeared, and a man in black with a long knife stained with blood rushed into the woods, kneeling down and clenching his fists at the man in black led by him.

"Chief, it's all settled!"

The leader of the men in black was silent for a long time, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Let the brothers search carefully again, and don't miss anyone." ”

"Yes!"

The man in black who reported the news returned to the burning Shangguan Mansion.

The leader of the men in black looked up at the falling raindrops and whispered, "Chang'an Shangguan's family, destroy the door." Yangzhou Li family, extinguished. Luoyang Baijia ...... What will happen? ”

Someone next to him responded: "The Bai family will probably be fine." ”

"Really?" The leader of the men in black said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of taking the money." ”

With that, he turned and walked deeper into the woods, followed by the other men in black. In the distance, the fire in Shangguan's house gradually went out, and blood mixed with rainwater flowed out of the drainage canal of the mansion, staining the stream in the suburbs red. The Shangguan family, which has been famous for a hundred years, has withered away.

In Chaolan Valley, a hundred miles north of Luoyang City, a team of men and horses were taking advantage of the night to rush towards the valley. More than 20 people rode fast horses and escorted five chariots in the middle of the procession, and the cries of children and women could be heard from time to time.

Not far behind them, a hundred and ten black-clothed men were holding various weapons and biting them tightly.

The situation was very urgent, and at this moment, a sudden change occurred, the wheel of a carriage broke, and the horses pulling the carriage also fell headlong on the boulder on the side of the road, and died with a whimper. The men and horses immediately stopped and pulled the old man and child out of the car.

"Boss Mo!" A young woman dressed in white with a white veil on her face shouted, "You take everyone into the valley!" I'm going to hold them back! ”

The man known as Boss Mo was about thirty years old, with a resolute face, and even in such a predicament, there was no anxious look on his face. He said to the woman in white, "Ah Yan, they are all good at all sects. ”

The woman in white had already drawn her long sword on horseback and blocked the back of the crowd, staring coldly at the direction of the man in black. Everyone looked at the back of the woman in white, the moonlight in the sky was bright, the woman in white was slim, and her long hair fluttered in the wind, like a picture of a fairy under the moon, but it was a pity that the fairy was holding a long sword and was murderous.

The woman in white smiled and said, "If we don't hold them back, none of us will be able to leave." It's fast into the valley, we can't fold here. ”

Boss Mo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Ah Yan, do what you can, if you can't beat it, you can run." ”

Hearing Boss Mo say this, a man with a long bow on his back said eagerly, "How can this be!" I'll stay too! ”

"Brother Xiao," the white-clothed woman's voice suddenly softened, "You still have to set a trap in the valley, don't stay...... Let's go, believe me. ”

Everyone was silent as they took out their luggage from the broken cart, and no one spoke, knowing what it meant to stay.

The longbow man gritted his teeth hard, and the man with strong blood held back his reluctance and said loudly: "Survive!" ”

With a wave of Boss Mo's hand, the convoy continued to march towards the valley, and the black-clothed man who was chasing them was already close at hand.

The man took his longbow and fired four arrows at the man in black, but they were all shot down. The men in black who came to chase them were not ordinary killers, they all had special skills - after all, tonight, the strangulation of them was not initiated by a single sect or organization, but ...... Most of the rivers and lakes have been discussed, and the masters of each faction have done their best.

The convoy gradually moved away, and the figure of the woman in white was no longer visible. At this time, someone exclaimed: "Boss Mo! We're here! ”

A cave that could only accommodate one carriage appeared in front of everyone, and this was the entrance to the valley of Chaolan, and guarding it here was a true one-man pass.

Boss Mo waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Enter the valley!" ”

The group entered the valley in an orderly manner, the longbow man walked at the end of the line, he turned his head to look in the direction of the time, his eyes were a little sour, he was afraid that he would never see the woman in white again in this life.

The man in black was stopped by a woman.

The man in black at the head asked loudly, "Who is blocking the way?!" ”

The woman in white smiled contemptuously, casually held a sword flower, pointed the tip of the sword at everyone, and said crisply: "Sword Immortal, Chen Tong!" ”

After speaking, the long sword stabbed out, and Chen Tong turned into a white light, stabbing straight at the man in black who had just spoken.

The four words of Sword Immortal Chen Tong can still give people goosebumps on the rivers and lakes. Her light skills are unparalleled in ancient and modern, and her swordsmanship is superb. No one knows how many people she ranks on the master list, but there is no one in the top ten of the master list who is willing to fight against her, and the only strange person with the nickname "immortal" in the martial arts today.

There are many masters of famous families among these black-clothed people, even if they are hostile to Chen Tong, but it is not worth the trip to see such a body and sword technique. Seeing this crisp and neat sword, many people secretly applauded, and some people even wanted to learn from Chen Tong alone. It's a pity that tonight's purpose is to kill all the remnants of Changfeng Lou by unscrupulous means, and I can't talk about these rules of the rivers and lakes.

Chen Tong had already entered the enemy formation, tossing and turning alone among the hundreds and dozens of masters, and he was at ease.

The shouts of killing rang out, so loud that the longbow men guarding the exit of the valley in the distance could hear them clearly.

It was almost dawn, and it was quiet in the valley of Chaolan, and the longbow man had already set up a trap. A few years ago, the landlord Mo Boss spent a lot of money to hire someone to build a stronghold in Chaolan Valley, so that he could live here temporarily when he was desperate one day. The terrain in the valley is complex, making it difficult for intruders to enter.

The longbow man did not go into the depths of the valley to join the crowd, but stood guard at the exit, confident that the miraculous woman would survive. It's like this every time, after she is in charge, everyone thinks that she is more than lucky, but she can turn evil into good luck.

When the day dawned, the man couldn't wait any longer, so he resolutely chose to go out of the valley.

As soon as he came out of the valley, he saw a lot of people rushing towards him in front of him, and the man who was originally depressed and sad suddenly laughed. Yes, she survives every time.

Of course, it's not easy.

Chen Tong fought with these masters for half a night, and he already had several knife wounds on his body. She had long since dared not fight, but relied on her supreme light skills to rush in the direction of the valley. If it was normal, not to mention that the pursuers were riding fast horses, even if they were riding a phoenix, they would not be able to catch up with Chen Tong. But now she has lost too much blood and is physically exhausted, and she can't get rid of the pursuers at all.

"Ahh The man shouted, took out his longbow, and shot three arrows at Chen Tong in a row.

Chen Tong looked at the flying arrows, instantly understood, gathered the last bit of internal force and rose into the air, lightly toe in the air, stepped on three arrows in a row, as if jumping on the ground, when she stepped on the second arrow, she threw the long sword hard. With a little force on the third arrow, the figure suddenly bounced forward again, and stepped on the long sword that had just been thrown - this is her famous skill, this set of light skills originally had no name, but martial arts people called it "Imperial Sword".

The long sword fell to the ground, and Chen Tong, who had exhausted his internal strength, fell downward, and the longbow man hurriedly rushed forward to catch Chen Tong and took her into his arms.

"Ahh Ahh He called to the woman in his arms.

Chen Tong's body was hot, his face was pale, and he was angry.

But she still opened her eyes and said weakly, "Brother Xiao...... Into the valley ......"

No longer hesitating, the man picked up Chen Tong and ran towards the valley desperately.

On that day, the Bai family in Luoyang City.

Bai Ruoyun is thirty-five years old Chinese New Year's Eve, with two sons and one daughter. Daughter Bai Xueyan is four years old this year, eldest son Bai Boju is three years old, and second son Bai Zhonglian is two years old. The second son was not born by himself, but an orphan brought back from the Western Regions last year.

Bai Ruoyun sat in the lobby of the official residence, her brows furrowed. It's not a good situation right now. He knew that last night, the Shangguan family in Chang'an and the Li family in Yangzhou had suffered a tragic accident. If nothing else, the people of Changfeng Tower should have entered Chaolan Valley.

What should the Bai family do? Wise self-preservation? Still is...... Go all out?

How to Bo? There are more than 70 people in the family and the dead, and now in this Luoyang City, there are estimated to be hundreds of killers in the open and dark. The children are still young, the wife is in labor again, and the stable wife has just arrived. Internal and external troubles, and chaos at home.

Although the Bai family became famous later than the Shangguan family and the Li family, the huge family business must not be destroyed in their own hands.

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly heard the sound of clothes flying in the courtyard, followed by the exclamation of the nurses: "What people! ”

Bai Ruoyun hurriedly rushed out of the lobby, only to see a middle-aged man in the courtyard, looking like he was in his forties, dressed luxuriously.

He knows this person, of course, there is probably no one in the whole world who does not know him.

The master of the Thorn Gate, Qiao Fei.

Bai Ruoyun stretched out his hand to stop the nurses who were about to rush forward, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Qiao, don't come unharmed." What is the matter with your feet on the ground? ”

Qiao Fei also smiled, and with the majesty and demeanor of the superior, he opened his mouth and returned: "There is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Qiao Mou is here this time...... Presumably Mr. Bai knows what is going on. ”

"Hahaha," Bai Ruoyun said with a smile, "Let's not play dumb riddles, does Master Qiao want to monopolize it, or ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Fei said, "Destroy." Mr. Bai, there are some things that it is better not to keep. ”

Bai Ruoyun walked down the steps, came to Qiao Fei, and whispered, "It's okay to destroy it...... But there is one thing to know next. ”

"Mr. Bai, excuse me."

"Are you here this time to represent the Thorn Gate, or the entire rivers and lakes?"

"Mr. Bai thinks highly of Qiao, and the Thorn Gate can't be the master of the rivers and lakes. But Mr. Bai should know that if it weren't for the Thorn Gate, not for Qiao, the Bai family would have ...... last night"

The words are up to the point, and I can't say it too clearly.

Bai Ruoyun smiled bitterly, he knew Qiao Fei. If there are still righteous men and gentlemen in this Jianghu, Qiao Fei is definitely one. The major factions of the rivers and lakes joined forces to strangle the Li family, the Shangguan family and Changfeng Tower, this matter is unjust, if it were not for Qiao Fei to mediate in the middle, then the scale of this killing would be even greater.

Bai Ruoyun took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Fei, sighed, and said, "The secrets of the rivers and lakes collected by Bai, Li, and Shangguan over the past hundred years are all here. The master of the Qiao family can be burned as much as possible, and in the next thirty years, the Bai family will no longer care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Are you satisfied? ”

Qiao Fei shook his head, Bai Ruoyun's eyes gradually turned gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Qiao, don't deceive people too much." ”

"Mr. Bai, you misunderstood," Qiao Fei was still calm, "We will inevitably destroy the secret here, but the Bai family can't quit the rivers and lakes." ”

Bai Ruoyun was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"The Bai family has always only sold intelligence and not participated in grievances. This is better than both the Li family and the Shangguan family. Your Bai family just made a gesture of admitting your mistakes, and then stopped for a few years, and the anger of the Jianghu people has passed, and the Bai family is still the same as before. The rivers and lakes need checks and balances, and if they don't have the slightest restraint, I'm afraid that it will be even more excessive than now. ”

"Hey," Bai Ruoyun said, "I don't want to do this, but people's hearts are terrifying. The Li family and the Shangguan family are examples of the past. ”

Qiao Fei said: "The words have come to this, it is useless to say more. Mr. Bai, think about it. Qiao took his leave. ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Bai family.

Looking at Qiao Fei's disappearing back, Bai Ruoyun sighed again and slowly sat down on the steps. A man in his thirties is twenty years old in an instant. He knew that from today onwards, the Bai family would never be as brilliant as before. He only felt a tightness in his chest, then coughed violently, reached out to cover his mouth, and blood came out of his fingers.

The cough got worse and worse, and finally, a mouthful of blood spurted out. The surrounding nurses recovered from the shock and hurriedly called the doctor in the house.

Bai Ruoyun looked at the sky, wept bitterly, and shouted loudly: "Yuzhuo! Feng Yao! Inherit the younger brother! Long wind! I can't stand you! ”

shouted, and the whole person fell down. At this moment, there was a cry of a baby in the backyard, and a little maid ran out with joy on her face, shouting: "Master! Master! Madame is born! It's a boy! ”

This is the only good thing for the Bai family.

Yangzhou City, the door of the Huwei Dart Bureau is closed, the people who have passed in front of the door feel very strange, generally at this time, the dart master of the Dart Bureau, the executioners should be in the boxing practice, why is it so quiet today? If someone stops at this time and sniffs carefully, they can smell the faint smell of blood in the air.

In the backyard of the dart game, Chen Ling, the big boss of the Huwei dart board, and his sons were covered in blood, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they knelt on the ground neatly. The dart master and executioner of the dart board have long since died.

Chen Ling is already fifty years old, with a horizontal tendon and meat, and he looks like a young man in his thirties. His sharp face was full of fortitude, and even if the whole family was restrained at the moment, he did not have the slightest fear.

More than a dozen black-clothed people wiped the blood on the steel knife, their eyes were indifferent, as if what they were in front of them was not a person, but a lamb to be slaughtered.

The black-clothed man led by him squatted in front of Chen Ling and asked in a low voice: "Old man Chen, let me ask again, Li Fengyao, where is you?" ”

"Hmph," Chen Ling sneered, "The Li family is kind to my Chen family." I don't know the whereabouts of the eldest lady. Even if I did, you wouldn't even think to get half a word out of my mouth. ”

The man in black didn't say a word, waved his hand, and a man in black dragged Chen Ling's fourteen-year-old son out, and without waiting to beg for mercy, he stabbed him in the heart.

Chen Ling almost gritted his teeth, his eyes were about to split, and he said sadly: "If it weren't for the Li family, I, Chen Ling, would have starved to death on the streets forty years ago, where would I still have this family business?" Not to mention killing one of my sons, what about killing my whole family?! ”

"Okay," the man in black nodded, "it's up to you." ”

The man in black stood up, waved his hand, and said, "This old guy really doesn't know, don't waste time, kill them all, and go back early to recover your life." ”

The men in black are all professional killers, and killing people is as simple as eating and drinking water for them.

Night Feather Xiaozhu is the most powerful killer organization on the rivers and lakes, they are very disciplined, as long as the money is enough, they will kill anyone, and they will never reveal their employer's information.

Tang Ju is a disciple of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, he is not surnamed Tang, he is just an orphan, he was adopted by the Tang Sect since he was a child, and he has always been a disciple of the outer sect. He doesn't have any dreams, just eat and drink. Later, Tang Men suffered, Tang Ju escaped, and changed his name from then on. Forced to make a living,Joined the night feather Kozuki.。

He killed people for food, and there were so many people who died at his hands over the years that they were too many to count.

The knife fell, and another person from the Tiger Dart Bureau died under his own hands. His colleagues looked at him like himself, without fear or anger, and he waved his knife mechanically.

Then, he stopped.

In the corner, the ladies of the Huwei Dart Bureau were huddled together, screaming and crying. Their fate is death. However, there was one person who caught his attention, a little girl, about two years old. The little girl's eyes were hollow, and her little fair face was stained with blood.

Tang Ju knew this little girl, he was Chen Ling's granddaughter, Chen Minyue.

Chen Minyue stared blankly at the killer who was slaughtering her mother and aunts, she didn't know what fear was, and she didn't understand what death meant. All she knew was that everyone was unhappy, they were all crying.

Why are you crying?

At that moment, Tang Ju thought of more than ten years ago, when he was on the streets of Shuzhong and picked up by human traffickers. Since he was so stupid that no one wanted to buy it, the traffickers decided to cut off one of his arms and legs and make him ask for food. Just as he was about to make a move, the master appeared.

"This baby's muscles and bones look good, and it is a material for martial arts. How much? I bought it. ”

With such a dull look, I was like this back then.

The colleague had already raised the steel knife to the little girl, and Tang Ju used the scabbard to open the colleague's knife. His colleague looked at him in surprise.

"How?" A colleague asked.

yes, how? What does it mean to be yourself?

"She'......," Tang Ju whispered, "she's useful." ”

"What's the use?"

Tang Ju didn't know, but Tang Ju felt it, and a fire burned in his frozen heart.

He understands Xiaozhu's rules, either the target dies, or, he dies by himself.

In that moment, he had an idea. Taking advantage of the inattention of his colleagues, he picked up the little girl and jumped over the wall.

The people in black stayed for a while, and they didn't understand what Tang Ju meant by this.

The leader reacted and said viciously to his subordinates: "You two, catch up with them and come to me!" ”

Tang Ju felt that he was crazy, he had never been so irrational. With a hot head, he rescued the little girl, but what should he do after that? His kung fu is not bad, but how can he beat the entire Night Feather Xiaozhu?

The little girl was held in his arms, her expression was still dumbfounded, and she couldn't see joy or sorrow. Colleagues have already caught up, these two are good hands of Xiaozhu, he can't beat it, not to mention that he also has a child.

In the grove outside Yangzhou City, three people fought together, and it didn't take much effort for Tang Ju to be stabbed several times, and the injuries were not light. Another did not pay attention, and was stabbed in the left chest, almost piercing his body. In that moment, he lost all strength.

It's over, it's all over, and in my life, I may only live for myself today.

A colleague walked up to him and said coldly: "Brother, offended. ”

A knife was slashed, but Tang Ju didn't feel slashed, he raised his head and saw a person standing in front of him. Dressed in a monk's robe, with a bald head, he is a monk. Looking at the back, this monk is not young.

"Amitabha." With a Buddha horn, the killers were stunned.

They didn't see how the old monk appeared, and besides, he blocked the steel knife with only his hand, and the blade didn't hurt his palm in the slightest.

The man in black said coldly: "Great monk, please avoid the grievances between our own brothers." ”

"Donor," the old monk whispered, "you are too murderous. ”

"Hmph, don't think you Shaolin ......"

He didn't finish his words, because his whole body had already flown upside down, breaking a big tree as thick as a human waist, the impact was too great, and the lower half of his body was shattered. Looking at the old monk again, his face was angry, and his blood poured into his pupils.

"The Buddha is also angry!"

With a slap of the palm, the man in black, who was two battles away, was shattered to his sternum and was killed directly.

Kill the two good hands of Night Feather Kotsuki in an instant.

The old monk walked up to Tang Ju and squatted down.

Tang Ju's eyes had begun to blur, and he understood that he would not be able to live.

"Big ...... Guru...... Save ......"

"Donor," the old monk held Tang Ju's hand, "You are too seriously injured, I'm afraid you ......"

"No...... She...... She ......"

Tang Ju used his only strength to send the little girl out of his arms, and the old monk took the little girl and asked, "Who is she?" ”

Chen ...... Chen Ling......"

"Lord Chen's granddaughter?"

Tang Ju no longer had the strength to speak, and he almost didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. The old monk seemed to know everything, and he whispered: "When I heard the Tao, I can die at night." The donor is respectable to know that he has lost his way. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ju smiled, he was relieved, it turned out that doing the right thing was this feeling.

The old monk put the little girl on the ground, folded his hands, and silently recited the "Mantra of Death".

After reciting the mantra, the old monk looked at the little girl and asked with a kind face, "Little donor, what's your name?" ”

The little girl replied in a milky voice, "Chen Minyue." ”

"Let's go with the old monk."

"I want to go home, Daddy, Mommy."

"Hey......"

The world is miserable, only sighing.

In the grove outside Yangzhou, the sigh of Master Zhicheng of Shaolin Temple drew an end to this bloody storm.
