Chapter Ninety-Eight: Many Obstacles, Layers of Killing
Su Han Mountain walked straight to Feilai Peak.
He looked at the map, and learned from Zhang Shuwei and Li Chaoyang the ability to distinguish the direction in the mountains and forests south of the Yangtze River, so he crossed the mountains and crossed the river when he met the river, and the distance from Feilai Peak was getting closer and closer.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, with him as a companion, the grass and trees are fresh, lingering in the arms.
There are also the sounds of fireworks and whistles.
In the mountains behind him, someone tied fireworks to the arrows, shooting them straight into the sky.
When the arrow was about to fall, the fireworks had already detonated again, and they continued to shoot high.
Even in the early morning skylight, such fireworks can allow the gang disciples of the Ten Miles to receive some kind of message and get a kind of instruction.
Then the iron whistle was blown, like a relay, one after the other, one after the other.
When each iron whistle sounds, it can be transmitted for several miles, and when the person who hears it responds, it will be summoned to the next group of people at the same time.
The sharp whistle, at a speed far faster than Su Hanshan's footsteps, spread from behind him to both wings, and then forward, spreading out.
The rhythm of the whistle is different, the length is different, the high and low are high, and the message is very different.
For the vast majority of gang members, the whistle is to allow them to leave, to remind them to avoid the area, and to make them feel pardoned.
And in Su Hanshan's ears, these tones that came out from the mountains and jungles were like the prelude to the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the battlefield before the blood stained.
As the voices continued to spread, the air seemed to become more and more tense.
But this only made his mind calmer, and his murderous aura became calmer.
A person's body will be tired, and the heart will also be tired, and the murderous spirit cannot always be in a state of explosion, there must be a process of accumulation.
The motivation for Su Hanshan's fighting in the past two days came from the long journey, what he saw and heard along the way, and it was also a feeling and understanding in his heart.
The place that will be invaded by robbers is not only the hometown that he identifies with in this life.
The weeping village I saw in these days was not only one by the river and one outside the forest.
No matter what the Great Chu, Song, Ming, North and South, no matter what hometown is inside and outside the country, there is a knife in hand, when you see such a thing, you might as well raise the knife and take care of it!
It's just that he raises his sword to punish evil and promote good, after all, he doesn't kill for the sake of killing, so he also has to talk about methods.
Three or four thousand people, with Su Hanshan's current ability, it is impossible to kill them all.
Forty people were one share yesterday, and he could not miss a shot, and today eighty people are one share, even if he shot with all his might, he was still escaped by more than 20 people.
The deterrent effect on these local gangs has reached a certain threshold, which is too much.
Next, the more important thing is to kill their backers.
Smash the confidence that can make these people even worse and do evil.
Therefore, when he was in a hurry, Su Hanshan mobilized all his experience in stabilizing his emotions over the years, saving his murderous energy, maintaining his murderous intent, and cherishing his killing intent, so as to use good steel on the blade.
Maybe it's because the murderous aura is all constricted.
Even though he was carrying a blood-rusted long knife in his hand, and every step under his feet was swept several feet away, it didn't look like he was going to kill, but like going on a spring outing.
Jiangnan has always had good scenery, not to mention the turn of spring and summer.
The scenery between the wilderness mountains and forests is far from being summed up by green bamboo, green trees, flowing water and strange rocks.
For example, the nearby hillside has more luan trees.
This kind of tree can grow to six or seven zhang tall, the trunk is thick and tall, the leaves are tender red in spring, and the tree is full of yellow flowers in summer.
There are also many trees that show purple and brown leaves, or large white flowers at this time.
As soon as the wind blows, the branches of the trees all over the mountains shake, green and red, colorful and dizzying.
Su Hanshan calmly swept up the poetic slope and walked into the woods.
It's like an indifferent shadow, thrown into a strong painting that can dissolve him in an instant.
And the wagged broken knife in his hand suddenly lifted, as naturally as a fallen leaf being swept by the wind, and stabbed a tree on the right.
On the tree, a large piece of bark trembled, and blood flowed down the blood groove of the blade.
It wasn't a tree, it was a person who looked exactly like a tree.
There is no clothing, no hair, and the color and wrinkles of the skin are very similar to the rough bark of a tree.
This man didn't know when he was already holding the trimmed tree, in a seamless form, and a weapon like a dead branch in his hand.
When Su Hanshan walked past the tree, the man's hand quietly left the trunk of the tree and stabbed the dead branch at the back of Su Hanshan's head.
But Su Hanshan's broken knife pierced this killer first.
Bang bang!!
At the moment when the broken knife pierced into the "bark", at least eleven places on the ground in the forest suddenly exploded into a large canopy of smoke.
The killers flew out of the ground, moving with the smoke, and the knives in their hands were shaped like crescent moons, and they surrounded and killed Su Han Mountain.
Su Hanshan's face barely moved, only his eyebrows raised slightly.
At the same time as he raised his eyebrows, his figure had already moved his knife to kill, as fast as if it had been divided into six, circling around the periphery, and slashing out twelve knives.
Kill one person with one sword.
In addition to killing eleven killers who escaped from the ground, he also cut off a large bluestone diagonally.
When a crack appears in the bluestone, blood splatters out.
But at this moment, a little chill suddenly reflected in Su Hanshan's eyebrows.
Su Hanshan's pupils shrank, his head flashed, and the blade in his hand rose.
Where the blade passed, a section of a severed arm appeared in the air, and there was a snort.
In addition to the fact that there are people disguised as trees, disguised as stones, there are even people disguised as air.
No, to be exact, he was only disguised as a part of the scenery that Su Hanshan could see from this location, and using the Turtle Breath Technique, his heart beat and breathed extremely slowly, and his blurred fingers stabbed forward with a colorless needle.
After Su Hanshan cut off his arm with one knife, the second knife failed to cut the man.
Because a piece of "ground" three feet long and one foot wide under his feet was suddenly pulled away.
And at the killer's feet, there was also a carpet that was also disguised as dead leaves, which was pulled in the opposite direction.
Su Hanshan let out a light roar, his body rotated, and the layer of fake ground under his feet was torn apart, and the sword qi was like a ring, suddenly spreading outward.
The killer with the broken arm was chased by the sword qi and cut off his waist, and several nearby trees were also swept by the knife qi, and the section was flat.
But at the same time, there were at least seven directions of leaves, flowers, and rocks in the surrounding area, showing signs of hue movement, blocking the sword qi with weapons.
Su Hanshan's figure caught up with his own sword qi, and when his arm tore through the air, it was like letting out a leopard's roar, and his feet turned around, killing from the first place to the seventh place.
The bloodstained long knife glowed under the infusion of his internal force, and the knife walked with him, like a long band of light, floating in the air, winding away, from beginning to end, unbroken.
Killers in seven places were slashed between the swords.
But at the same time, trees, flowers, fallen leaves, distant scenes, close up, underground, and in the air, in all directions.
All of them had color blocks, and they got out of where they were supposed to be, and flew towards Su Hanshan.
What Su Hanshan saw was not the poetic hillside woods at all, but a colorful, bizarre, and indescribable variety of colors, running around his body.
Those moving color blocks, with all kinds of camouflaged weapons, sent cold knives and poisonous arrows at him.
Bright green and red, dizzying!
The name of this group of killers is "Green and Red".
The Secret Forest Sect among the Seven Factions of the Prime Minister's Mansion was originally a group of terrifying killers in the rivers and lakes.
Their head calls himself Master Dongyue, a Fuso man, proficient in Fuso ninjutsu, stealth assassination, disguise and disguise, invincible.
In order to prolong his life, Shi Miyuan has tried his best to buy and invite masters from all walks of life since 20 years ago to study the way of the grandmaster, and no one knows whether the secret of longevity has been studied, but he has indeed created a lot of miraculous secret skills.
After the people of the Secret Forest Sect defected to the Prime Minister's Mansion, on the basis of their original martial arts, they cultivated another miraculous skill, which can change their skin color and skin condition according to the environment.
This has taken their camouflage assassination methods to the next level, to the point of being superb.
Although Liang Guying hadn't had time to chase after him, he had already made a quick decision, sent out the message, and mobilized the elite of the "three factions" of the Prime Minister's Mansion to intercept the ambush as soon as possible.
If you really let Su Hanshan kill through Feilai Peak, you will step into Lin'an Mansion alive.
Kuanggutang, I am afraid it will become the biggest laughing stock on the rivers and lakes in the past ten years!
However, in the face of such vague and grotesque color changes around him, Su Hanshan did not close his eyes, but his eyes became deeper and clearer, and he treated these dynamic changes around him in a meticulous manner.
His eyesight, ear, and touch have reached a closer cooperation in such a dangerous situation.
However, he used his senses to such a vivid extent, not for defense, but for attack.
Su Hanshan was surrounded and launched an attack without reservation!
The sword light flickered up and down his body, in every part of the front and back, left and right.
Every inch of the blade of the knife was used by his wild offensive, and every time he slashed, he was bound to hit something.
Or cut down the hidden weapon, or cut the weapon, or cut off the human body!
When he walked up this hillside, he was the faintest shadow in this mountain forest.
And now, his presence extends beyond the entire hillside.
If someone looks up the hillside at this time, at first glance, they may not see what the mountain looks like, but they must first see this figure of swinging the knife thousands of times.
Just when the moving patches of color around him were all split by his knife.
Su Hanshan's sword shadow was suddenly cut off by a flash of silver light.
The broken knife that was invincible in his hand, cutting gold and iron, now seems to have really turned back into a broken knife.
It's even worse than a broken knife, just a piece of rotten wood, a tender grass, easily cut across by the smooth silver light.
The silver light broke the knife and broke the head again, and swept towards Su Hanshan's neck with the blade.
While!!!
Su Hanshan's left hand stood in the air, blocking the silver blade.
The palm of the emerald green scales collided with the silver-white blade of the thousand forging patterns, grinding out a string of dazzling firelight.
It was bright in Su Hanshan's eyes, and it was also in the eyes of the knife wielder.
This killer who was the last to come out with a knife was dressed in clothes, a dusty cloth robe, without hair and beard, with very light eyebrows and many wrinkles, which should be far more conspicuous than other killers.
But before he made a move, Su Hanshan didn't even feel his approach.
He is the head of the Secret Forest Sect, Master Dongyue.
He took the opportunity to approach when his subordinates were killed, and when Su Hanshan's strength was consumed, he swung a sword that he was determined to get.
However, when such a knife was still blocked, even a big killer like him, the tiny green tendons around his eye sockets couldn't help but jump out.
The sparks that collided with the knife and the palm of the hand flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the figure of the Winter Moon Master also flashed away, and his body was as fast as those sparks that disappeared in a flash.
Su Hanshan let out a long roar and chased after him.
He is not crazy about knives, and when he swung the knife just now, his expression did not change.
Before he got to the main master, he was only willing to embellish the tip of the knife with a trace of murderous aura and kill all these killers.
It is conceivable that his emotions are not at the right time to release with a long howl, and the purpose of this whistle is just to breathe.
The Three Methods of Pure Yang, which is the true transmission of Daomen Tiandu, records the whistling sounds of several different mouth shapes, which can speed up and straighten out the breath in one's body.
Moreover, Su Hanshan used the Liutao Heart Method in the hands just now, and his qi returned extremely quickly.
When his long howl just came out, the speed at which he ran and galloped out was slightly slower than that of Master Winter Moon.
When the long roar reached the top, his speed was already getting faster and faster, and most of his power was transformed into pure yang power, and he walked with the wind, shortening the distance between him and Master Dongyue.
The two of them climbed over two hillsides one after the other, and when they rushed towards a mountain col, Master Winter Moon suddenly pounced forward.
He pounced like a carp into the water, and even burrowed into the ground, only to see a mound of earth arched on the ground, and moved forward rapidly.
This col is uninhabited, and the trees appear sparser than the slopes and summits, but the trees grow better than those on the mountainside, and the wood is solid, tall and beautiful.
In the world, not only Fusang has it, but also in the Central Plains, and it is also available in Annan, Mobei, and the Western Regions.
Although the origins and evolutions are different, the truth is the same.
When using topographic techniques, those with shallow strength must rely on the assistance of tunnels dug in advance, and those with strong strength can directly walk through with their own cultivation, but they also need to consider the quality of the soil.
Although this col is not like the mountain, it is densely covered with rocks and difficult to drill, but there are so many big trees that the roots must be lush and strong, and when you use the earth walking technique, you have to break through too many obstacles, and the speed is not too fast.
As soon as Master Dongyue used his skills, he was immediately chased within two zhang by Su Hanshan.
But as soon as Su Hanshan arrived in this forest, he heard that there were at least dozens of people lurking in the woods of this mountain col, and he was alarmed, and retreated abruptly.
Baste!!!
There seemed to be a faint sound in the air, almost like the release of the bowstring.
Su Hanshan's eyes flashed, and he saw that there were three thin black lines, which bounced from the front.
These three thin threads are tied to the trees on both sides at both ends, and the middle section is hooked away and hidden in the trees in front of them.
The point that had been hooked just now suddenly loosened, and the silk thread rebounded.
Su Hanshan picked up a stone on his toes and threw it, and one of the thin lines swept over, actually cutting the stone in half.
Master Winter Moon appeared in the depths of the woods, and when he looked back, a woman in a black dress with a bewitching figure floated from the tree.
"Winter Moon, that man ......"
As soon as the lady in the black dress fell, she saw that Master Dongyue had failed and all her subordinates were killed, and Su Hanshan was unscathed, and the straightforward killing intent in her heart couldn't help but stagnate, her thoughts turned sharply, and she smiled coquettishly, and said, "Little brother, a delicate person like you, and you have practiced such skills, my sister really doesn't want you to see blood." ”
"Why don't we take a step back, as long as you don't go to Feilaifeng, don't interfere in Zhang Shuwei's affairs anymore, go to Lin'an with which way you go, we won't do anything with you, how about it?"
Su Hanshan raised his eyes and looked around, observing the woods, and asked instead of answering: "This is the so-called Phantom Shadow Sword?" ”
The woman in the black dress smiled: "I have good knowledge, but what you see now is only a ghost knife." ”
She clapped her hands, and forty-nine figures appeared between the woods, all of them dressed in black, their hands were particularly conspicuous, their palms were as big as a fan, and they were not in harmony with their arms, and their fingers were straight, like stiff steel plates.
The woman in the black dress said, "This is the whole picture of the Phantom Shadow Sword!" ”
The Phantom Sect's "Phantom Shadow Sword" is neither a sword nor a sword.
Their "ghost knife" refers to a kind of dark iron gold wire, extremely elastic and extremely tough, after trying to be tightened, it is enough to cut human bones, cut off the thickness of the forearm, wrought copper, and as thin as spider silk, difficult to distinguish with human eyes, it is really a first-class assassination secret weapon.
"Shadow Sword" refers to their fingernails.
These people's nails are black, hard and thick, and they usually look like only an inch of their fingertips are exposed, and their fingers are thick and clumsy, and their joints are stiff and cannot be bent.
But when necessary, they can pop their nails out half a foot long, and their fingers become extremely flexible.
When fighting in close combat, you can skillfully use your nails to hook the black iron gold wire, rebound and wind, and you can't prevent it!
And whether it is on the sharp armor or the silk thread, it is highly poisonous, and for ordinary people, as long as the skin is broken, it is enough to kill on the spot.
However, the most terrifying thing is the place where they set up an ambush in advance.
In this forest, I don't know how many dark iron gold wires have been laid, and for outsiders, the trap itself alone is already almost desperate.
Once they really get started, these "shadow sword" masters can also skillfully cooperate with the terrain, pluck the black iron gold wire, make the trap outside the trap, regenerate the crisis under the crisis, change in the change, and change endlessly.
Su Hanshan was still observing, and said, "I killed so many of you, are you really willing to let me leave?" ”
"When will there be no death on earth? It's nothing to die a few small gangs. ”
The woman in the black dress smiled, "It seems that you don't look like a person from Fuyao Mountain, if you have a slight request for Uncle Zhang, and you are escorting all the way, then when we catch him, you can also join the Prime Minister's side and let him help you with things." ”
"I believe that in that case, whether it is Xiangye, or the hall master Zhao, or the hall master Zheng, they are willing to treat you differently and write off some small contradictions before."
Su Hanshan said softly: "Since human life is not important, why don't you get out of the way, let me kill all the people who presided over this operation, and then consider taking refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
The woman in the black dress's face changed slightly, and she looked at Su Hanshan faintly, as if she was sad: "Do you have to be like this?" ”
This operation, to put it closer, is that the head of their seven factions and the hall master and the third hall master of the Kuanggu Hall are presiding.
Farther away, Shi Miyuan himself and the head hall master of Kuanggu Hall are the masterminds.
Killing all the hosts is tantamount to saying that they will fight them to the end.
"Although you are fast and have high skills, you are not good at moving your body with light dexterity."
After Master Dongyue entered the forest, he silently remembered and pondered, and at this time he said firmly, "The Phantom Shadow Sword is your nemesis!" Even if you bypass this forest, as long as you are still against us, we will lead people to chase and block it, and when the three hall masters outflank us, it will be difficult to say whether you will live or die. ”
"Who said I'm going to get around?"
Su Hanshan asked with a smile, his voice rose sharply, and his figure rose into the sky, sweeping forward.
"I said, today I will go straight to Feilai Peak, and it is you people who will be crushed on this straight road!"
