Chapter 5: Light and Extinction

At the same moment when the sword light lit up, Tang Lian's fingertip knife also met it.

A terrible whistling and a bitter chill collided in one place.

Just listen to the sound of "ding", and the sparks splash everywhere.

Tang Lian stepped back seven feet, but when he looked up again, the sword suddenly disappeared, and it melted into the darkness again.

Although Tang Lian's fingertip knife was still there, the blade had been broken by that sword!

Such a terrifying sword, regardless of the timing, angle, and strength are impeccable, if it weren't for Tang Lian's vigilance in his heart after seeing Du Kong's wound, that sword would have allowed him to be with Du Kong.

That "lightning sword" Duan Feng's sword was as slow as an old grandmother's embroidery in front of this person's sword, this person's sword may not be the fastest in the world, but there will never be more than ten people who can be faster than him.

Tang Lian's fingertip knife had been broken, just like a tiger losing its teeth.

Unlike other members of the Tang Sect, most of the weapons of the disciples of the Tang Sect are mainly various hidden weapons and crossbow arrows fired from the Thousand Machine Box, but Tang Lian is the only one who is an outlier, and his main weapons are only the Willow Leaf Flying Knife and the Fingertip Knife.

Now that the fingertip knife has been destroyed, Tang Lian's weapon should only be the Willow Leaf Flying Knife.

Tang Lian knew that the terrible swordsman was hiding in the dark, and if he knew enough about himself, he would definitely not make a rash move.

"Do you want to go on like this?"

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Tang Lian's mind, if it was indeed a way to deliberately expose flaws to lure the other party to make a move, but in the face of such a terrible opponent, even if it was a fake flaw, it was just as dangerous.

Tang Lian has always listened to the movements around him with the kung fu of listening to the sound of the position, the Tang Sect is famous for relying on hidden weapons, and listening to the voice defense position is a basic skill, he can even hear the sound of a feather falling to the ground, but he can't hear any movement of the swordsman.

Tang Lian couldn't help but speculate, could it be that the other party hadn't moved since just now?

Suddenly, darkness plunged all around.

In the darkness, another sharp whistling sound came.

The next moment, however, the surroundings were lit up again.

It's not just the lights that come on, it's the ...... The cold light in Tang Lian's hand!

The swordsman passed directly with Tang Lian, and there was blood on the sword, which was Tang Lian's blood.

The blood dripped on the ground drop by drop, but it was not Tang Lian's blood on the sword, but the swordsman's own blood.

The swordsman was sweating profusely, constantly making a "gurgling" sound, just like Luo Cheng who died in the wild shop, and he also had a willow leaf-like knife stuck in his throat!

The swordsman turned around with difficulty and glared at Tang Lian, before falling to the ground forever.

Tang Lian tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes and wrapped it around his injured left arm, and said to the swordsman's corpse: "I know that you have been hiding there to adapt to the darkness, and you will make a move when my oil lamp is extinguished, and without the reflection of the sword, I will not be able to detect you in the first place." ”

"But you didn't expect that I would take the initiative to cover the light with my cloak, and when I shine the fire after you take out the sword, your eyes will suddenly be difficult to adapt to the light, and your accuracy will be off, and this slight deviation is enough to kill you."

Tang Lian let out a long sigh of relief, now it seems that it is unlikely that there are clues on Du Kong's body, even if there is, it is gone now, and the only hope can only be pinned on this killer swordsman.

First of all, we must find out the origin of this killer swordsman.

Tang Lian rummaged through the corpse for a while and only found a stack of silver bills with a face value of one hundred taels, and the issuer printed a large ingot.

The big ingot banknote is the most reputable silver ticket in the territory of Tunnel State, although his big owner Liu Jiyuan is not a disciple of the Tang Sect, but his ancestors have a deep relationship with the Tang Sect, and the Tang Sect can have today's scale is definitely half of the credit of the Liu family.

In order to prevent forgery by outsiders, each silver ticket has a unique number on it, consisting of information such as the sexagenary branch, numbers, and hours.

Then things are much simpler, as long as you go to Dayuan Money Village to check who deposited these silver tickets, you can dig out all the people behind the scenes.

There is also a portal behind the statue of the demon god, Tang Lian took the fire fold and approached the door, the flames began to shake wildly, it seems that there must be an exit ahead.

Tang Lian looked at the dark tunnel, and said, "It's almost an hour, and I don't know what other mechanisms are going forward, so it's better to go back the way you came." ”

Since the other party wants to put himself to death, he will inevitably expect the swordsman to miss, and it is not wise to go any further.
