Late at night, in the dense forest outside Yingchuan City, a limping figure was slowly walking in the direction of the moonlight.

Ten zhang away, on a towering ancient tree, a man in black crossed his legs, leaning on the branch gracefully.

The man in black clasped his hands on his chest and stuck a sharp sword in his bosom. He wore a hat with the edges pressed so low that they almost completely obscured his face.

The hazy moonlight sprinkled a dry dusk in the dense forest, a dead silence, a frozen air, not even a wisp of wind.

After a few moments, the cripple walked under the tree, stopped abruptly, and looked up at the black-clothed man on the branch, revealing an ugly face in the moonlight. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was sneering disdainfully, and his hoarse voice was like the wind blowing withered grass, slightly harsh.

"Long waiting!"

"Soon, I'm just one step ahead of you. ”

The man in black said with a smile, he gently picked the hat away with his sword, and shot two eyes full of disdain, this person was Liu Xunyi.

Liu Xunyi looked down at the cripple who was smiling at him under the tree, and joked: "If your leg is not lame, I may not be able to catch up with you." ”

"You've been following me since you came out of the East Lake Gang, I wonder what attracts you to this cripple?" asked the cripple knowingly.

"The smell of blood on you, and ...... You owe a debt!" Liu Xunyi sneered, "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." In the past few days, the Pan family has suffered one after another, all thanks to you and you. Now that others are ruined because of your family, how can you leave?"

"So, you're here to take my life?" the cripple laughed disapprehantly, "I don't know who you're here for, and who are you going to avenge for?"

"If only you were willing to admit it. The smile on Liu Xunyi's face gradually converged, replaced by a touch of coldness, and said in a deep voice, "The Pan family is already weak, and the chances of winning next year's battle are even slimmer." Even so, you still devised persecution twice and three times, and you had to kill them all and put the Pan family in a place where there would be no return, don't you think it's too much of a deception?"

"The grievances and grievances of the Pan and Qin families, no one can explain clearly, why do you have to wade into this troubled water?" the cripple replied, "Since you are here, just go back and pass a word to Luo Tianjin for me, telling him to take care of other people's affairs in the future, there are some things he shouldn't take care of, and he can't manage it." After that, the cripple no longer paid attention to Liu Xunyi, and went away with his head bowed.

Liu Xunyi jumped and landed steadily in front of the cripple. As soon as the sword was crossed, he blocked his way and said coldly: "You should go and tell the lord of Luofu in person what you say! I will not kill you tonight, but I will capture you, and on the first day of March next year, I will tie you and Li Laohu to Shaolin together, confront the Qin clan in Hexi, and let the Shaolin monks and fellow martial artists preside over justice together, and see what you have done today, is it considered a heroic act?

"Haha......" Hearing this, the cripple suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter was dry and rough, which was disgusting to hear. He stared at Liu Xunyi with bloodthirsty eyes, and said with a cruel smile: "You have to think clearly, 'capture me' is better than 'kill me'...... More sinister. With that, the cripple squeezed his throat again and let out a horrible shriek.

"Li Laohu is vicious, but you are the culprit. Liu Xunyi said, "Taking away people's inheritance and harming people's lives, you just put a good Pan family, and the harm is unbearable." Instead of feeling remorseful, you have become even more arrogant. What is the reason why the evildoers are at ease, but the good ones are ruined? How can you bear to treat an old man in the twilight of his life like this?"

"If Pan Chuba doesn't guard the 'Xuanshui Scroll', there will be nothing. The cripple sneered, "The puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty, you should understand this truth." It was not the Donghu Gang or the Hexi Qin clan that really drove the Pan family to a dead end, but Pan Chuba himself. To this day, he still does not repent, and the Pan family will only die more in the future, and the end will only be more miserable than now. If you want to help him, then you shouldn't meddle in the grievances of the Pan and Qin families. As long as the Xianwang Mansion does not interfere, Pan Chuba will no longer have any hope. If there is no hope, it is natural to learn from the pain and make the wisest choice later. If that's the case, no one in the Pan family will have to die, not even Pan Chuba...... can stay away from the grievances of the rivers and lakes and live for a long time. ”

Liu Xunyi stared at the cripple with righteous words in disbelief, and slowly shook his head and said: "Ridiculous! What you just said is simply nonsense." Obviously, it was the Qin family who wanted to take over the Pan family's 'Xuanshui Scroll' first, but in the end, they blamed Pan Baye, and even on the head of the Xian Wang's Mansion, which is really ridiculous! It is extremely hateful! According to what you said, robbers rob and kill, but in fact the robbers are not guilty, but the person who was killed is at fault? He should take the initiative to hand over his belongings to the robbers, and should not have the slightest resistance? Yes and no?"

"Which is more important, money or life?" asked the cripple rhetorically, "a smart person should know how to choose." ”

"But money and life should belong to you, so why choose?" Liu Xunyi retorted, "You attribute the fault to the person who chooses, but in fact, the most wrong person is the person who forces others to make a choice." They're the bane, just like you!"

The cripple smiled coldly with disdain in his eyes, and said, "I thought that the person who came to find trouble would be Lin Fangda's reckless man, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

"What about me?"

"In fact, the best way to put the Pan family to death is not to kill Pan Wu, but to kill the people of the Xian Palace. The cripple said coldly, "As long as the people from the Xianwang Mansion die in Yingchuan, Luo Tianjin and Pan Chuba will definitely turn against each other." As long as the Xianwang Mansion no longer supports the Pan family behind its back, the Pan family will definitely lose. ”

Liu Xunyi sneered: "You originally came for us. On the day we came to Yingchuan, you were already hiding in the Gaosheng Inn, spying on us. You killed Li Bao because you wanted to use the hands of the East Lake Gang to deal with us, but Li Laohu was not stupid, he did not fall into your trap, but blamed Li Bao's death on the Pan family, and took the opportunity to extort a sum of money. So if you can't make a plan, you will have another plan, and if you can't deal with us, you will go all out to destroy the Pan family. You used the relationship between Li Laohu and Ding Cui to poison Pan Wu and isolate Pan Chun, so that the three masters that the Pan family had cultivated with great difficulty lost two of them. As a result, the Pan family has lost even the last chance of winning. ”

"You're smart, but you're late to understanding. The people who came to me tonight, if it were Luo Ningyu or Lin Fangda, I would have been relieved and directly took their lives, and it would have been a hundred. As for you......"

Liu Xunyi seemed to hear a hint from the cripple's words, and couldn't help but wonder: "What about me? Don't you want to take my life?"

"You have only been in the Xian Wang's Mansion for a few days, and your status in Luo Tianjin's heart, how can you compare to Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda?" the cripple mocked, "Whether you die or not is just an insignificant matter to Luo Tianjin. ”

Liu Xunyi looked the cripple up and down with puzzled eyes, and asked in a strange tone, "Just because of this?"

"Since it's useless to kill you, why should I waste my efforts? I'm not interested in a loss-making deal!" the cripple waved his hand extremely impatiently and urged, "Count yourself lucky tonight, pick up a small life, you go!"

Although Liu Xunyi didn't understand the meaning of the cripple's move, he didn't have time to think about it, so he suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath, pointed directly at the cripple, and said coldly: "You don't kill me, but I want to capture you!"

"Just you?"

Before the cripple could speak, his right hand had already pulled out the short knife, and he struck first without warning. I saw a flash of cold light, and the sharp blade of the whisker had slashed straight towards Liu Xunyi's face. At the same time, the cripple shouted angrily: "Although I am too lazy to kill you, but if you are stubborn and obsessed, then I don't care about spending some time and taking your life." ”

"Humph!

Liu Xunyi's reaction was not slow at all, the sword in his hand turned sharply, with a crisp sound of "sonorous", the sword body had stopped the short knife, and the sword friction made a sharp and piercing sound, faintly bursting out of sporadic firelight, reflected in the resolute eyes of Liu Xunyi and the cripple.

Suddenly, the sword separated left and right, and Liu Xunyi flicked the blade of the sword, and stabbed out without hesitation, straight to the cripple's heart.

In a hurry, the cripple quickly turned the short knife from the palm of his hand, and the knife in his hand was swung out to the left, and with another crisp sound of "sonorous", Liu Xunyi's sword was deflected by the short knife.

Seeing this, the cripple hurriedly turned to the right, and the extremely sharp blade grazed the blade and the cripple's chest, and flew out with a "whoosh", bringing up a sharp sword aura, cutting a gap in the cloth on the cripple's chest.

"Since you have killed yourself, then don't blame my men for being ruthless!"

In the staggered swords, the cripple scolded coldly, while Liu Xunyi completely ignored the angry cripple, the sword in his hand was waved over and over, the attack was fierce, the angle was tricky, one move after another, one sword was better than a sword, and the cripple who hit directly was overwhelmed.

Sixty rounds later, the cripple has gradually become a little flustered under Liu Xunyi's continuous offensive, and the short knife in his hand flies up and down, and at first he can be equal to Liu Xunyi, but as time passes, his offensive decreases, and his defensive position increases, and finally all become defensive dodges, and under the impenetrable sword momentum, the cripple has no time to counterattack.

"It seems that your Qin family's sword technique is nothing more than that!"

Liu Xunyi and the cripple became more and more frightened. He was amazed that the cripple's knife technique, instead of being devoid of any subtlety, was rough and full of flaws.

Liu Xunyi had experienced Pan Wu's Xuanshui Knife Technique, and was also forced to be powerless by the Xuanshui Knife Technique, and while being surprised by the subtlety of the 'Xuanshui Scroll', he also speculated that the Qin family's 'Red Fire Scroll' must be equally extraordinary.

But the Qin family's sword technique performed by the cripple in front of him was not only not exquisite, but even the three masters of the Qin family were far behind. In this way, how can it not surprise Liu Xunyi?

Suddenly, the cripple forced Liu Xunyi to retreat with a knife, and flew out ten zhang away. Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to chase after him with his sword, the cripple who was originally in a posture and ready to fight to the death did not retreat, but turned around in a hurry without warning, quickly burrowed into the depths of the dense forest, and disappeared into the darkness with a few flashes.

Liu Xunyi never expected that the arrogant cripple would say one thing and do another, and halfway through the fight, he would run away. Deng Shi was stunned, and when he wanted to chase and kill, the cripple had already fled without a trace.

"Spare your life tonight, there is a kind of first day of March next year, come to Shaolin and fight with me again. At that time, I, Qin Tianjiu, will definitely accompany me to the end!"

The provocative sound of a cripple came from the depths of the dense forest, which really made Liu Xunyi stunned. Although there are many people in the rivers and lakes who like to bluff, but like a cripple, it is the first time that Liu Xunyi has encountered it.

"Qin Tianjiu?" Liu Xunyi silently recited the name of the cripple, and was silent for a moment before putting his sword into the sheath.

For some reason, Liu Xunyi always had the illusion that Qin Tianjiu, who was fighting with him tonight, although he seemed to have loose sword skills and ordinary martial arts, he actually seemed to have reservations and did not really go all out.

After thinking about it for a long time, but couldn't find out what it was, Liu Xunyi could only sigh in annoyance in the end, and walked briskly in the direction of Yingchuan.

On the way, there was another question that had been haunting Liu Xunyi's mind, and it couldn't be dispersed for a long time.

"This Qin Tianjiu...... How did you know that I had only recently entered the Xian Palace?"
