Chapter 538: Ultimate Ninja
It is said that Taro Kimura is just a Dongying person, why did he know the path to Meijiazhai?
This question is also very simple.
He didn't really know the path, but only because he had the natural instinct of a ninja - he was good at tracking.
On the same day, he encountered Gu Tengyi's Jia Tengzuo, although his martial arts were higher than Gu Tengyi, but after all, he was still unable to defeat his hands with both fists, and the hero couldn't stop the crowd, Ren Hailuan was finally snatched by Gu Tengyi.
After Gu Tengyi captured Ren Hailuan, he let his subordinates flee in separate ways, and immediately confused Kimura Taro again, so he temporarily lost Gu Tengyi's whereabouts.
After that, Gu Tengyi gathered his subordinates and was about to go to Meijiazhai to deal with Meijiazhai and Xiaoyaomen and others, but he didn't want to be plotted by the four ghosts of western Sichuan on the way, and Ren Hailuan was also rescued by the four ghosts.
Although Kimura Taro was confused by Gu Tengyi for a while, he was good at tracking, and it didn't take much time to find Gu Tengyi, who was numbed by drugs. He and Gu Tengyi didn't have any deep hatred, so they ignored them and continued to track down Ren Hailuan and the others.
Qi Xiangshi was afraid that Gu Teng and the others would catch up, so he changed from the avenue to the trail. They thought that in this way they would be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Dongying people, so they slowed down much after the recourse. But they didn't expect that Taro Kimura turned out to be a master of tracking, and he had already followed their footsteps and slowly caught up. Qi Xiangshi didn't expect that there was a huge danger approaching behind him, and by the time Ren Hailuan found out, it was already a little late, and Kimura Taro had already chased after them.
The four ghosts of West Sichuan didn't know how powerful Kimura Taro was, so they were a little careless and underestimated the enemy, but by the time Guan Liang and Qi Xiaoxiao were forced to be injured by Kimura Taro, it was already a little late. At this time, they tried to get rid of Taro Kimura's entanglement as soon as possible, but it was impossible. One mountain path is too narrow, even first-class masters are difficult to advance; Second, Taro Kimura's martial arts are too high, and he has already bitten him to death.
At this time, Tang Zhong and Ma Li happened to chase after them from the other side of the mountain road, and there was a shocking battle on the cliff.
Tang Zhong and Ren Hailuan fell into the cliff together, and the people of Xiaoyaomen and Tang Sect were very worried, but Gu Tengyi of the Jiateng faction didn't know.
He saw that the four ghosts in western Sichuan were inconspicuous before, so he didn't ignore them. So this time it was planted in their hands, he felt that this was simply a boat capsized in the gutter, and the boss in his heart was not happy, so after the medicinal power was over, he immediately asked his disciples to find the whereabouts of Ren Hailuan and the four ghosts of western Sichuan. But where else can you find it?
Gu Tengyi couldn't find Ren Hailuan's whereabouts, so he thought that they had arrived at Meijiazhai, so he had to rush over to Meijiazhai.
As soon as Gu Teng came to the vicinity of Meijiazhai, he saw that there were many people inside, and it seemed that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he asked his subordinates to pretend to be the subordinates of Meijiazhai and mixed in, wanting to wait for the opportunity to assassinate Old Man Mei. Gu Teng heard early in the morning that the masters of Xiaoyaomen and Tangmen had already arrived in Meijiazhai, and before him, there were already several Dongying ronins who had repelled them.
Gu Teng knew that the enemy was powerful, so it was a last resort to use this kind of indiscriminate means.
However, knowing that his opponent was strong, he should give up the assassination. After all, with his current strength, it is still unrealistic to want to take Old Man Mei's head to receive a reward from the Wako. The reason why he "knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountains" is because he still thinks that there is still a trump card that is useless.
This trump card is his master Mu Tengzuo.
As soon as he heard that both Xiaoyaomen and Tangmen had come to support Meijiazhai, he immediately notified his master Mu Tengzuo. He is a self-aware person, and he naturally knows his strength, and he is simply unable to fight against the masters of the two major factions of Xiaoyaomen and Tang Sect.
Mu Tengzuo is the founder of the Jiateng faction and the master of Gu Tengyi. Originally, he had already handed over the Jiateng faction to his disciple Gu Tengyi, and rarely asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. However, as long as the Jiateng faction and Gu Teng have something, he will still go out of the mountain to help.
Like Taro Kimura, he mostly travels around the south of the Yangtze River, but almost all of them are incognito and never cause trouble. After all, for an old man, everything that should have been experienced has already been experienced. There is not much to provoke at all, and I will no longer be as fierce as a young person.
Of course, he didn't just ask about the rivers and lakes. Most of his involvement in the rivers and lakes is not because of the Jiateng faction, but because of his apprentice Gu Tengyi.
When he was young, he was a top ninja of the Iga faction, and later became a grandmaster of the Iga faction. His martial arts and ninjutsu, whether in Dongying or in the Central Plains martial arts, are absolutely top-notch. In the martial arts of the Central Plains, few people know his name, unless it is those martial arts people who have been to Dongying, or the Dongying Ronin of the Central Plains, only then do they know how powerful this Mu Tengzuo is.
Xiaoyao, the director of the Xiaoyao Gate, has heard a little about this person, and he also wants to meet this top ninja in Dongying, but he has never had the opportunity to meet him.
Because he has hardly fought with the Central Plains martial artists, even if people on the rivers and lakes know this name, they don't know how high his martial arts are? It is even rumored on the rivers and lakes that this person's martial arts are even more powerful than Ren Xiaoyao, who is recognized as the world's number one master in the Central Plains martial arts. It's just that this is just hearsay, because these two have never fought each other, and the number of martial arts paths is very different, it is difficult to really tell who is more powerful. Unless, that person has a fair game.
Gu Tengyi, the current head of the Jiateng faction, actually hasn't even learned half of his martial arts, but he already has a considerable reputation in the rivers and lakes, and even a master like Kimura Taro has to be suspicious of him, mainly because of the face of his master Mu Tengzuo.
Kimura Taro had dealt with the Iga faction, so he and Mu Tengzo had known each other for a long time, and those Mu Tengzo already admired this young man very much, and knew that he would definitely become a great weapon in the future.
Mu Tengzuo has never been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and after he got the flying pigeon transmission from his apprentice Gu Tengyi, he is happy in a kiln in Suzhou City. Although he is old, he is still a romantic figure, and he is also in good health, and most of the second half of his life is spent in the land of fireworks, either fine wine and food, or beautiful women.
Although he is a bit of a desolate man in his twilight years, he is not a person who is lost in wine. Once something big happens, or something related to him, he will immediately wake up. And become very strong, do things vigorously, and never be swayed by others.
Even Gu Tengyi, who is now a member of the Jiateng faction, never dared to say a word out loud in front of his master Mu Tengzuo. Because if he didn't do it at all, he would be severely reprimanded by the master, and he wouldn't save any face at all.
Even so, as soon as Gu Teng encountered something, he could only ask for help from his master. Because except for Master Mu Tengzuo, others generally don't care about the affairs of the Jia Teng faction.
