Chapter 507: The Executioner Is Dead
Although the temple is one of the four major families in the rivers and lakes, and its power is really a lot, his family is actually not as redundant as the Tang Gate and the Xiaoyao Gate. The temple family, in fact, is only three of them, father and son, and it is really a family. In addition, there are also swordsman Qin Gang and other helpers, but they are not one of the temple families.
The reason why it is listed as one of the four major families is that it sits in Beijing and its geographical location is very important. What's more, it is very close to the imperial court Dongchang, and its power has already penetrated into all corners of the capital.
Dongchang was originally the same as the temple, but why didn't he come out to support Sheng Ling people this time?
One is that Dongchang Shi Zhong still understands that the people of Sheng Ling have embarked on a road of no return. In fact, he was forced to go to Liangshan because the official silver case was exposed. Shi Zhong was not optimistic about Sheng Lingren's operation at all, because he also felt that Sheng Lingren was just a trapped beast. Shi Zhong is a smart person, he will never use the power of his Dongchang to make trouble with Sheng Lingren who are uncertain about losing their heads.
Moreover, just a few days before the martial arts conference, many masters of the East Factory had actually been injured by a mysterious person. Shi Zhong felt that this matter made Dongchang very faceless, so he asked a few of them to temporarily hand over the things in their hands, and then secretly hid in the palace to recuperate. Even if Shi Zhong wanted to rebel with Sheng Lingren, the cards in his hand were actually not ready at all, which was also the main objective reason.
Sheng Lingren didn't get his biggest helper, which was actually an important reason for his failure. If he had enough time, he could have waited for Dongchang to recover, and then acted with them to deal with the imperial court Xiao Wangye, and the odds of victory might be much greater. You must know that Prince Xiao is not only the opponent of the temple, but also the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of Dongchang. However, Xiao Wangye's actions no longer allowed Sheng Ling to hesitate, so he had to take the lead. Defeat is defeat, and he has nothing to say.
Dongchang Shi Zhong saw that Sheng Lingren was defeated and lost, and in order to protect himself, he would definitely quickly clear up the relationship and never have anything to do with Sheng Lingren.
Sheng Lingren and most of the temple disciples were exterminated, and Sheng inexplicably not only surrendered to King Xiao in advance, but also saved the fifth line from the predicament, so he was naturally a meritorious person. Sheng Zhiqiang came to the battle against the water and hit the thief Sheng Lingren, although his actions were shameful for the gentleman, but after all, he also rescued the emperor. Xiao Wangye saw that these two young men were meritorious in quelling the rebellion, and he didn't want to kill the temple, so he no longer pursued the two, and only took Sheng Lingren and the many royal forest rebels into custody.
Mei Yun Shitai and the head of the Yulin faction Shen were not originally from Sheng Lingren, if they hadn't set Sheng Lingren first, I'm afraid Sheng Lingren would not have been fooled. Therefore, the two factions of Emei and Yulin are also meritorious. Such as the Laughing Moon Song, Jade Rakshasa and the like, not to mention, they have now become representatives of the righteous people in the rivers and lakes.
However, in this matter, there seems to be someone who is more lost than Sheng Lingren, and that is the skeleton sword Qin Gang.
It is said that Qin Gang was not originally a wicked person, but over the years he had done all the bad things under Sheng Lingren, he had offended many righteous men in the rivers and lakes.
Qin Gang is also self-aware, and he even feels that even if King Xiao can let go of Sheng Lingren, he will definitely not let him go. Because many of the evil things of Sheng Ling people were carried out by him. He is the executioner of Sheng Lingren. According to Sheng Lingren's orders, he not only killed many people, but also offended many people. He is now at odds with the Fifth Element, and the Kunlun Sect already knows that Xue Qianhe's death is related to him, and he is not in harmony with him. This is also why Hu Daiwei, the slow sword god, was the first to come out and hunt him down after seeing him escape.
Although Hu Daiwei doesn't like his father-in-law Xue Qianhe, after all, he still has a relationship with Xue Qingrou. Xue Qingrou wants to avenge her father, and Hu Daiwei can't sit idly by.
At this time, most of the heroes from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes have experienced a vicious battle, and many of them have been seriously injured. Only Hu Daiwei, the slow sword god, has never fought against a real master. Of course, it's none of your business, you don't have to worry about it. The essence of this martial arts conference is actually a struggle between the four major families for the status of the rivers and lakes, and if you fall into it rashly, I am afraid it will not be a good thing, but it will become more and more chaotic.
Qin Gang is a very strange person, because of Xiao Yurong, he obviously has irreconcilable contradictions with Sheng Lingren, but he has always been willing to do things for him. Now that Sheng Lingren has been defeated, he should be happy, but he is very disappointed.
No one can understand him, and no one knows what is going on in his heart.
However, he must escape, and Xiao Yurong must also escape.
Qin Gang still saw these two points very clearly.
Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong's martial arts are not weak, they suddenly escaped from the palace before anyone else noticed, which was a bit of a fluke.
At that time, there were many top martial arts masters in the palace, such as Crazy Laughing Moon Song, Fifth Row and others, and their martial arts at this time were already far above Qin Gang.
After Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong escaped from the palace, they knew that they could no longer stay in the capital at this time, so they went out of the city directly. In the capital, because of the martial arts conference and the temple rebellion, there was a lot of uproar and chaos. Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong went out of the city in confusion, but they were not discovered by the guards.
However, when they didn't go far out of the city, they suddenly realized that something was wrong, and there was a person behind them.
Those who can stay with them for so long must not be ordinary people.
"You go first, I'll go back and have a look." Qin Gang said coldly to Xiao Yurong.
"No, let's go together!" Xiao Yurong was obviously reluctant to leave alone.
"Don't worry! I can't die yet. I'll go find you. As soon as Qin Gang spoke, he had already killed him with his sword.
Qin hadn't gone far just now before he saw the person chasing after him, who turned out to be Hu Daiwei, the slow sword god.
"It turned out to be Brother Hu, you have been chasing us all the way for so long, don't you have something to tell us?" Qin Gang asked with a smile.
"Your master has already surrendered to the law, do you still want to escape?" Hu Daiwei did not answer, but went straight to the point.
"I'm a swordsman, I don't have a master. My master is my sword. Qin Gang replied coldly
"Humph! Your master has just been defeated, and you won't recognize it so quickly? Looks like you're an ungrateful fellow! Hu Daiwei snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
"Brother Hu, could it be that you have become a lackey of the imperial court like the fifth line?" Qin Gang sneered.
"Stooges? Only those who aided in abuse, killed innocents indiscriminately, and did not pay attention to morality are the real lackeys. Hu Daiwei disagreed and retorted directly.
"Forget it! It's useless to tell you so much, I know you're here to get me. If you want to arrest me, why don't you do it? "Qin Gang doesn't need to entangle with Hu Daiwei so much.
Between swordsmen, it is better to speak with a sword. What Qin said just now was actually a bit much, because he wanted to buy Xiao Yurong more time to escape.
Qin Gang is actually already a person who puts life and death aside, and the only person in this world who can make him involved is Xiao Yurong.
"Good! Between you and me, there's nothing to say? ”
Before Hu Daiwei finished speaking, Haotian Sword was already unsheathed, because he had to avenge his father-in-law, Xue Qianhe, just for his wife.
Hu Daiwei's swordsmanship is mainly slow, while the skeleton sword Qin Gang is a traditional swordsman, and his swordsmanship is naturally fast and supreme. Although Qin Gang is ranked behind Hu Daiwei, he is obviously a person who does not admit defeat. A swordsman, even if he encounters an opponent who is stronger than himself, will never retreat easily, and must show his sword to show his courage.
Qin Gang never lacked courage in the face of any swordsman. His skeletal sword had long since been unsheathed, and the sword of devotion had been stabbed. His swordsmanship was much faster than Hu Daiwei's, so his sword move was already the first to strike, stabbing Hu Daiwei in the chest. However, Hu Daiwei's swordsmanship, which is slow to control fast, is its most distinctive feature.
Qin Gang's sword move was too fast, but Hu Daiwei was obviously on guard, and as soon as his body was lowered, Qin Gang immediately stabbed into the air. At the same time, his sword move just stabbed back at Qin Gang's lower abdomen.
Although Qin Gang's swordsmanship, Hu Daiwei is slow and fast, but it is just right. Qin Gang's sword moves could only gain momentum, but he could not inflict damage on the other party. On the contrary, although Hu Daiwei's swordsmanship was slow, it seemed to have been carefully calculated, and every time he could just find the flaws in Qin Gang's sword moves, and then stab Qin Gang's vital point. Qin Gang attacked several times with a fast sword, but not only did he not succeed, but he was almost injured by Hu Daiwei with a slow sword.
Hu Daiwei ranked second on the swordsman list, and except for the Crazy Laughing Moon Song, no one's martial arts should be higher than him. Qin Gang's swordsmanship is indeed very strong, but in the face of a kendo master like Hu Daiwei, it is still very difficult to win.
The reason why Hu Daiwei came to hunt down Qin Gang was actually entirely for his wife Xue Qingrou. Because of Xue Qianhe's death, Xue Qingrou has been sullen these days, and Hu Daiwei knows that if she can't avenge her father, she will definitely not be happy.
Therefore, for the sake of his wife, Hu Daiwei is still going all out to fight with Qin Gang. It's just that Qin Gang just wants to escape now, if he wasn't afraid that Xiao Yurong won't be able to escape, he would never come back to entangle with Hu Daiwei.
Qin Gang is a master of fast swords, and he actually doesn't know anything about slow swords. Of course, in the entire rivers and lakes, there are not many people who know about Slow Sword at all. Therefore, it was always difficult for Qin Gang to take advantage of the slow sword god Hu Daiwei. Even for someone like Wu Xing who knows Hu Daiwei very well, it is difficult for him to take advantage of Hu Daiwei in front of him.
Hu Daiwei went all out, although the sword moves were very slow, he was indeed very powerful. After only a few moves, Qin Gang was already slightly inferior. Hu Daiwei took advantage of the victory to pursue, and suddenly used a soft duel to kill, and the sword move carried the supreme sword qi in an instant, and actually pressed towards Qin Gang in the form of a wave of qi.
If it was said that this was palm power, Qin Gang might still be able to believe it, but this was sword qi, and Qin Gang didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Qin Gang saw Hu Daiwei make a trick, he didn't dare to take it hard, and suddenly shot out several hidden weapons, and then turned around, but he was the first to flee for his life.
Hu Daiwei made a soft duel and pounced, and suddenly saw several hidden weapons shooting, only to almost shoot him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to dodge these hidden weapons. However, at this time, Qin Gang had fled without a trace.
