Chen Tiankui, who fell to the ground, raised his eyes and looked at the person who appeared behind him like a ghost, dressed in a light gray robe, draped in long hair, and even his face was blue-gray, looking like a pale gray ghost.

He was stunned for a moment, this person was able to quietly appear behind him, although it was because he was preoccupied with dealing with the fifth floor of the Demon Sword Demon, but his light skills were already very terrifying.

Moreover, looking at his figure, it is somewhat similar to the little fat man who just escaped!

He was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Who are you?"

The pale gray man sighed and said, "I don't have a name, I'm just a shadow." ”

Chen Tiankui was stunned for a moment, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind: "Ghost Shadow?"

The pale gray man nodded, but did not speak.

Chen Tiankui was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close.

More than 20 years ago, there was always a saying on the rivers and lakes, "It is better to see the king of Hades than to meet two ghosts".

This sentence refers to the two most difficult characters on the rivers and lakes, and the people on the rivers and lakes all change color when they hear it.

One is called Ghost Sorrow, who is said to have excellent martial arts skills, and specializes in finding trouble for underworld friends who rob homes and houses, kill people and set fires. No one knew what he looked like, what his name was, or even what blade he used, because all the underworld characters he found were already dead.

Not only were he dead, but all of his bodies were mutilated, some of them looked like knives and axes, some of them looked like spears and swords, and some of them even seemed to have been killed by gunpowder, and their wounds were burned, and no one could tell what kind of weapon he used.

Some underworld gangs were even slaughtered overnight, and hundreds of people were not spared, all of them were done by this ghost.

All of a sudden, all the underworld characters on the rivers and lakes were temporarily dormant in order to avoid this ghostly sorrow, so as to avoid its edge. It wasn't until this ghost saw sorrow disappeared from the rivers and lakes that underworld organizations like Lvlin Thirty-six Village appeared.

And the other one is this ghost shadow.

It is rumored that his light skills are unparalleled in the world, like a ghost, and he can't be guarded against. This person behaves unconventionally, between good and evil, all according to his own likes and dislikes, if anyone provokes him, even if he sets up a lot of defense, he will silently and inexplicably fly his head in the middle of the night, and his head is in a different place, but no one notices.

Fortunately, these two terrible figures have disappeared more than twenty years ago.

However, at this moment, this has disappeared for twenty years, and the legendary ghost shadow will appear behind him, how can he not make Chen Tiankui frightened?

On the fifth floor of the Demon Sword Demon, there is also a ghost shadow that appears mysteriously, and he faced the two masters in the legend overnight, such a result is not unjust, Chen Tiankui sighed and said, "I lost." ”

Mo Wulou shook his head and said, "If it weren't for our tricks to divert your attention and carry out a sneak attack, I'm afraid the victory would not be so easy." ”

Chen Tiankui also shook his head and said: "No, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, success is defeat, don't ask about the process, just look at the result, things in the world are like this." ”

The fifth floor of the demon was speechless for a moment.

Isn't everything in the world like this, where heroes are judged by success or failure?

In the face of Chen Tiankui's martial arts, although the fifth floor of the demon is confident that he can defeat him, it is not easy to win, without knowing whether the old man Ming is nearby, he can only use such a means to fight quickly.

After all, if he has no confidence in Old Man Shangming.

Chen Tiankui looked at the two masters in front of him and asked, "I'm just wondering, how did the two of you join forces?"

The ghost shadow snorted, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the two of them joining forces to deal with such a junior, and did not speak.

Mo Wulou chuckled: "Actually, the two of us have known each other for a long time. When I met him, we didn't look at each other and made an appointment to duel. As a result, he couldn't match my magic knife, and I couldn't catch up with his style, and I couldn't tell the winner after fighting for a day and a night, and in the end, the two of us became inseparable friends. ”

Chen Tiankui nodded, it turned out to be like this.

The so-called no fight, no acquaintance, a lot of friendship in this world originally comes from fighting with each other, and often this friendship is much deeper than the friendship formed between cups and cups.

Chen Tiankui looked at the ghost shadow and asked again, "The fat man who escaped just now is your apprentice?"

The ghost shadow still didn't speak, just nodded.

Sure enough, no wonder Chen Tiankui just felt that the ghost shadow's body was somewhat similar to Zhang Fatzi's.

Finally, he opened his mouth and asked the biggest question in his mind: "Why don't you kill me?"

The ghost shadow appeared behind him just now, and there were 10,000 chances to kill him at once, but the other party just sealed his acupoint and restrained him, without hurting his life, why?

Demon Wulou smiled and said, "What, do you think we are all bloodthirsty demons who kill people without blinking?"

He raised his chin and said, "But it seems that compared to us demons, the people of the Jiangnan Ming family you are loyal to treat you have no righteousness. ”

Chen Tiankui didn't have to look to know that the fifth floor of the demon was referring to the Mingyu Tower, which was originally standing aside.

At this moment, Mingyulou is gone.

From the moment the ghost shadow appeared and Chen Tiankui fell, Ming Yulou knew that his side would undoubtedly lose, and it was already very difficult for them to deal with a demon sword demon on the fifth floor, not to mention that there was a mysterious figure who was so light-hearted?

What a smart person Ming Yulou is, he made a decision immediately and immediately made a decision, escape!

He fled with all his strength without looking back, leaving Chen Tiankui who fell to the ground.

Anyway, for Chen Tiankui and their so-called four protectors, Ming Yulou has never had a good impression.

Since the last time the Jiangnan Ming family was besieged by the various major factions in the rivers and lakes failed, the old man Ming learned from the pain, and after reflection, he thought that it was indeed difficult for the Jiangnan Ming family to dominate the rivers and lakes by themselves.

In addition, after the Jiangnan Ming family was in that war, most of the elites were lost and their talents withered, so he began to absorb the young masters of other sects on the rivers and lakes, trained them, and used them for my use, and the four most outstanding among them became the four protectors around him.

Chen Tiankui is one of them.

He had witnessed his father's defeat at the hands of Ruyi's double knife Zhang Ruyi, and he was humiliated and depressed, he had already made up his mind to defeat Zhang Ruyi with his own hands and clear his father's shame.

So he was recruited by Old Man Ming and became a knife in the hands of Old Man Ming.

This old man Ming is indeed an unborn genius, just relying on Zhang Ruyi's random instructions to Chen Tiankui's father back then, as well as Chen Tiankui's relayed how Zhang Ruyi defeated his father, he was able to deduce the entire set of Ruyi double knife techniques, and changed them and taught them to Chen Tiankui.

After years of hard training, sure enough, tonight, Chen Tiankui easily defeated Zhang Ruyi, who once felt unattainable, with such a set of knife techniques, and he was ashamed.

The other three of the four protectors of the Jiangnan Ming family are probably in a similar situation, and they all belong because they have something to ask for the Jiangnan Ming family.

However, their existence is like Ming Yulou

The younger generation of the Jiangnan Ming family was dissatisfied.

Originally, with the fall of the masters of the previous generation, the heavy task and opportunity to revitalize the Ming family in Jiangnan should fall on their shoulders, but these mysterious four people who appeared inexplicably made Old Man Ming spend a lot of effort on them, and now they are still high, becoming the four protectors, second only to Old Man Ming himself.

Why are they? Even they are not from the Ming family.

Although no one dared to oppose them openly due to the authority of the old man Ming, in secret, the contradictions between the younger generation of the Ming family in Jiangnan and the four protectors were growing day by day.

If there were no four of them, maybe these young people would be able to get the true inheritance of Old Man Ming and revive the Ming family in Jiangnan.

Even if it succeeds in relying on outsiders like this, is this Jiangnan Ming family still the world of the Ming family?

After all, they don't have a surname, and their hearts will be different if they are not of my race.

So when it came to such a critical moment, seeing that the defeat was decided, Ming Yulou almost did not hesitate to leave Chen Tiankui and escape alone.

The desire to survive is the innate nature of human beings, let alone for such an outsider who sees him as a thorn in the flesh.

Chen Tiankui naturally understood the contradictions between these younger generations of the Ming family in Jiangnan and them, so he was not surprised at all by Ming Yulou's disregard, and when the fifth floor of the demon mentioned it, he just sighed softly.

After a while, he spoke again: "Since you have left me alive, I must have other uses for you, and in this situation, you might as well speak up." ”

Mo Wulou looked at Chen Tiankui with approving eyes, as if he admired his cleverness very much, nodded and said with a smile: "There is no such thing in this world for no reason, of course everything will have a price, and there will be exchange conditions." ”

He was about to continue, when suddenly two fiery red fireworks burst into the dark night in the distance, which were extremely conspicuous in the night sky.

Chen Tiankui turned his head to look, this was a signal from the Jiangnan Ming family.

Judging from the direction, the signal should be sent by the Ming family members who are responsible for besieging and monitoring the Zeng family's compound, and they should have encountered some urgent situation, so they sent a signal for help.

Could it be that something happened to the Zeng family's compound?

The fifth floor of the demon also looked up at the fireworks in the sky that were gradually dissipating, and said lightly: "It seems that there is really a lot of trouble in the Jiangnan Ming family tonight!"

......

On the side of the Zeng family's compound, the signal fireworks have not completely dispersed, and the battle has ended.

The subordinates of the Jiang Nan Ming family, who were secretly besieging and monitoring the Zeng family's compound, have all been annihilated except for a few martial arts who escaped by luck.

In the backyard of Zeng's house, a middle-aged man in a green shirt walked in.

He was followed by more than a dozen men in strong suits and holding torches, and as soon as he entered, he immediately guarded the various intersections in the backyard, and the whole movement was done in one go, and he seemed to be well-trained.

The man in the green shirt looked around the houses in the backyard and walked straight to the one on the far left.

Pushing open the door, there was a woman curled up in the corner of the house, obviously frightened enough by the shouting and killing around the Zeng family's compound just now, trembling and hugging a young man with a slightly stupid expression.

Facing the green-shirted man who walked in, she shouted with a sharp voice: "Don't, don't hurt our mother and son, I'll tell you everything you want, just let our mother and son go, please!"

The man in green shirt stood at the door, showing a warm smile on his face, and said with a pleasant face: "Hello, my name is Tang Da!"
