Chapter 139: National Hatred and Family Hatred

He Mengjiao saw that Li Cunxiao's hidden weapons were blocked back by the white tiger with a metal demon ring, and said hurriedly: "Sister Zhou, Brother Xu can't open his eyes when he is illuminated by the metal demon circle, how is this good?"

Zhou Yuanzhi sighed: "It's a pity that the eldest brother doesn't have the same metal demon circle in his hand, and he can reflect the light back!"

Xu Zhi listened to Zhou Yuanzhi's words, his heart suddenly brightened, he raised the purple and green sword to protect his eyes, and reflected the light back to the eyes of the white tiger. The white tiger never thought that Xu Zhi would block the light with his long sword and shoot the light back to his eyes in the same way.

The white tiger's eyes were illuminated by the strong light, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. Seeing that it was an opportunity, Xu Zhi took a stride, forced to the white tiger, raised the purple and green sword, and with one move "sword splitting Huashan", he split the metal demon circle in the white tiger's hand into half.

The white tiger was horrified, suffering from no weapon in his hand, and hurriedly retreated, but was forced to the mouth of the valley by Xu Zhi step by step, he wanted to escape, but He Mengjiao blocked the way with a sword, he quickly turned around, wanted to escape from Xu Zhi's side, but was stabbed by Xu Zhi obliquely, stabbing him in the back, at this time He Mengjiao also stepped forward to make up for a sword, and stabbed this white tiger of the Golden Escape Technique to death at the mouth of the Five Elements Valley.

Everyone broke through the Jinxing Array, walked forward dozens of zhang away, and saw a row of big trees in front of them. Li Cunxiao said with a smile: "Brother Xu, two sisters, let's drink saliva and rest for a while under these big trees, how about it!"

Zhou Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Xu is tired from opening the way for us all the way, so it's time to rest!", after speaking, he pulled Xu Zhi to sit under the shade of a big tree. He Mengjiao and Li Cunxiao also sat under another big tree.

Just as the four of them were drinking and laughing, a ninja wearing a green figure suddenly jumped down from the tree, and shouted: "Who are you sacred, you actually broke into the Five Elements Valley and took your life!", after speaking, he swung his sword and stabbed Zhou Yuanzhi, and Zhou Yuanzhi hurriedly dodged with a "lion rolling hydrangea".

The man crossed over Xu Zhi's head, and without waiting for Zhou Yuanzhi to stand up, he chased after him again. Li Cunxiao saw Zhou Yuanzhi rolling to his side, and with a wave of his hand, he shot out a stone and flew towards the ninja's face.

The ninja suddenly jumped onto a large tree and disappeared into the dense foliage. At this time, Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, He Mengjiao, and Li Cunxiao all held swords and surrounded the big tree.

I saw a green shadow float by, and the ninja slammed into He Mengjiao's back like an ape. He Mengjiao swung a sword back, and the green shadow turned behind Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi shouted, and made a move "Su Qin's back sword", the purple light was dotted, like a screen, trapping the ninja, the ninja tried to swing the sword to meet it, only to hear a loud sound, and the sword was cut off by the purple and green sword in Xu Zhi's hand.

The ninja suddenly screamed, and the green shadow flickered, like a tanuki, and disappeared into the trees. Xu Zhi and the four of them all looked up to find the whereabouts of the green-clothed ninja, and suddenly a large silk net fell from the sky and surrounded the four of them.

The ninja suddenly appeared on the branch of the tree and laughed: "This trick 'Heaven and Earth Net' is the wooden escape technique of our Dongying Kingdom! No knight has ever been able to escape from this big net!"

Xu Zhi sneered: "Your Excellency is too happy too early!", after speaking, taking advantage of the ninja's unpreparedness, he suddenly turned the purple and green sword, twisted the silk net, and broke out of the cocoon, with a move "Immortal Guidance", like a purple light rushing into the sky, passing through the ninja's body. The ninja screamed and fell to the ground.

Xu Zhi sneered: "Your Excellency is the green dragon of the five elements!"

The ninja sighed, "How do you know! I didn't expect that my green dragon has been roaming the rivers and lakes for so many years, but it will be in the hands of you nameless juniors!", and died after speaking.

Xu Zhi wiped the blood on the Ziqing sword, and easily split several big trees in front of him, seeing that the trunks were empty, he knew in his heart that these Dongying's ninjutsu and escape techniques were all designed in advance, so that people could not be guarded against it, so as to win.

Xu Zhi sighed, jumped over Qinglong's corpse, and continued to move forward. Zhou Yuanzhi picked up the soft silk net on the ground, and said with a smile: "This net is flexible and not easy to tear, it's a pity to fall here!", after speaking, he stuffed the net in his sleeve and quickly followed Xu Zhi.

Li Cunxiao saw that Qinglong was short and looked like a civet cat, so he kicked his corpse and scolded: "As the saying goes, if you always walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?

He Mengjiao pulled Li Cunxiao and said with a smile: "What else do you have to say to this dead man! Let's quickly follow Brother Xu and them!"

When they had gone a short distance, they saw a crooked river in front of them, and on the other side of the river were covered with crimson maple trees, which were very beautiful, and there was a wooden bridge over the river, but under the bridge was a clump of withered yellow reeds and a few leaves of duckweed.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that the scenery in the river was beautiful, and hurriedly pulled He Mengjiao up the bridge to see, while Xu Zhi and Li Cunxiao fell behind slightly, and the four of them walked on the wooden bridge, holding on to the railing, and enjoying the slow flowing water.

Xu Zhi saw a big blister suddenly surging in the water, and knew that it was not good, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, there is danger underwater!", before the words fell, a water ghost in black clothes suddenly emerged from the water, and he threw out four flying tiger grabs with both hands, hooking Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, He Mengjiao, and Li Cunxiao's calves respectively.

Xu Zhi saw that the flying tiger had a mechanism, and after being caught by it, it was difficult to get rid of, only to see that the water ghost had great strength, and had dragged Zhou and He to the water's edge, Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao were dangerous, regardless of their legs and feet being bound, and struggled forward, using the purple and green sword to cut off the chains on the feet of Zhou and He, at this time he himself was about to be dragged into the water, he was in a hurry, a "monkey fishing for the moon", and hooked the railing on the bridge with his backhand, and he did not fall into the water for a while.

Over there, Li Cunxiao was born with divine power, and the water ghost dragged him several times, but he couldn't shake him, so he gave up dragging. Zhou Yuanzhi said to him: "Cunxiao, you quickly shoot stones at that water ghost!"

Li Cunxiao hurriedly swung out a few small pebbles with both hands and shot them at the ninja in the water, the ninja did not dodge, but dived into the water and disappeared, and the pebbles just fell into the water one after another.

He Mengjiao saw that it was very dangerous for Xu Zhi to hang upside down on the wooden bridge, so she said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, you quickly throw the Ziqing Sword to me, and I will help you cut off the chains!"

Xu Zhi responded with a "yes", and threw the Ziqing sword to He Mengjiao with his backhand, He Mengjiao swung the sword to cut off the flying tiger on Xu Zhi's feet, and Xu Zhi turned over and jumped back to the wooden bridge.

The ninja saw that Xu Zhi and the four of them were about to get rid of the shackles of the chains, and poked their heads out of the water again, throwing out a few darts, Zhou Yuanzhi and Li Cunxiao protected Xu and He one after another, and shot down the hidden weapon with a sword.

The water ghost dived under the water again, and after a few moments, suddenly a large wave appeared on the opposite side of the bridge.

Xu Zhi knew that the water ghost was trying to fly onto the bridge from the opposite side and sneak attack everyone from behind, so he hurriedly said, "Yuan Zhi and I are guarding one side of the bridge, Cunxiao and Mengjiao are guarding the other side of the bridge, don't let that ninja jump on the bridge!"

The water ghost jumped into the air from the water suddenly, but was blocked by Li Cunxiao's Fengming sword to go to the bridge, so he had to disappear into the water again and try to fly up the bridge from the other side.

Zhou Yuanzhi made a move, spilled the silk net from his sleeve, just covering the ninja's whole body, and then made a move "Cangsong welcomes guests", and the flying sword pierced the ninja who was trapped by the silk net. The ninja screamed, stumbled and fell into the water, only to see a red glow in the water, and everyone knew that the water ghost had been killed by Zhou Yuanzhi.

Xu Zhi smiled and gave Zhou Yuanzhi a thumbs up, and He Mengjiao and Li Cunxiao also praised: "Sister Zhou is really smart and powerful!"

Zhou Yuanzhi's heart was full of joy, and she asked Xu Zhidao: "This ninja should be the Water Escape Technique Xuanwu, right?"

Xu Zhi nodded, and He Mengjiao sighed: "We have killed the White Tiger, Qinglong, and Xuanwu, and there are still Vermilion Bird and Snake left, so we have to be more careful below!"

Xu Zhi led everyone across the creek and entered an open field overgrown with wild grass, only to see a Dongying ronin wearing a red kimono, already standing on the other side of the open field, with his back to Xu Zhi and the others, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while.

Li Cunxiao saw that the man was very indifferent, and asked, "Your Excellency is the Suzaku among the Five Elements Ninja!"

Suzaku still didn't turn around, but replied in a soft voice, "Since Your Excellency knows, why bother asking?"

Xu Zhi listened to Suzaku's voice, it was very likely that it was a girl, he gave Zhou Yuanzhi a look, Zhou Yuanzhi understood Xu Zhi's intentions, he hoped that she would come forward to talk, hoping that Suzaku would open a way.

Zhou Yuanzhi stepped forward and said softly: "There is a debtor and a master, we only find the Jiang family's father and son, Yun Feiyang, and Jiang Chengfeng to take revenge, and there is no grudge with the others, and we also borrow a road from my sister to make it convenient!"

Suzaku saw that Zhou Yuanzhi spoke politely, so she turned around, Xu Zhi and the others saw her true face, she covered half of her face with black gauze, only revealing two deep eyes, looking forward to the brilliance, very charming. Suzaku paused for a while, and then said: "Everyone, I have no grievances with you, I could have let you go, but it is my duty for you to break into this Valley of the Five Elements and stop you, and since you can come here, then my Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu brothers must have been poisoned by you, and it is also the duty of our ninjas to avenge our brothers, so if you want to pass from here, unless you kill Suzaku!, it is impossible!"

He Mengjiao saw that Suzaku was very decisive in speaking, and pulled Zhou Yuanzhi back and said: "Sister Zhou, Brother Xu, Cunxiao, there are many of us, are you still afraid that he will not be able to do it alone?

The Suzaku was not in a hurry, took out a flute from his sleeve, and fought with He Mengjiao. He Mengjiao relied on the sword in her hand, stabbing left and right, blindly attacking, but no matter how she changed, the sword light was always less than a foot away from the Vermilion Bird, blocked by the flute. Suzaku waved its long red sleeves and danced like a butterfly dancing on a barren meadow.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that He Mengjiao couldn't attack for a long time, so she shouted: "Mengjiao, sister is here to help you!", after speaking, he swung his sword and stabbed at Suzaku, Xu Zhi saw that the three girls were like three butterflies fighting in the air, and they were not up or down for a while.

The three of them fought for nearly three hundred rounds, Suzaku suddenly made a false move, and took dozens of steps back, Zhou, He didn't know that there was a deception, and he chased after him, but Suzaku put the flute in his mouth and spewed out several zhang long flames from the pipe.

Zhou and He hurriedly avoided the flames, but the grass around them suddenly burned, and the flames around them were blazing, trapping Zhou and He in it. The Suzaku laughed loudly, waved his water sleeve again, changed the direction of the wind, and let the fire burn towards Zhou and He.

Zhou and He had never seen such a ferocious fire, and Xu Zhi and Li Cunxiao were outside the fire circle, and they couldn't save each other for a while. Xu Zhi and Li Cunxiao saw that Zhou and He were about to be burned to death in the flames. Regardless of the danger to their lives, the two also struggled to jump into the fire.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Xu Zhi was between himself and Suzaku in order to save himself, covered in fire, and hurriedly helped him extinguish the open fire on his body, and complained in his mouth: "Silly big brother, who let you break in regardless of the danger!", He Mengjiao and Li Cunxiao over there also extinguished the fire on each other's bodies.

Seeing that Xu and Zhou were still dependent on each other for life and death, Suzaku sighed, "What a couple, but it's a pity that they will be buried in the fire today!"

Xu Zhi saw that the four of them were trapped in a fire array less than a zhang wide on all sides, surrounded by one-person-high flames, and the flames floated down the sleeves of Suzaku's clothes to him. Xu Zhi shouted, "Since Suzaku can fan the wind to change the direction of the fire, we will also take off our robes and blow the fire to her side!"

Zhou, He, and Li listened to Xu Zhi's words, and they all praised: "Good idea, the strength of the four of us is greater than that of her, and we will definitely be able to change the direction of the wind, so that she can also taste the taste of fire!" After speaking, they all took off their robes and took them in their hands to fant them desperately, and sure enough, the fire retreated a lot, and the four of them continued to press, and the Suzaku also retreated step by step, so that the four of them trapped the Suzaku in the fire circle.

Xu Zhi saw that his clothes were already on fire, and shouted that it was not good, so he simply danced the burning clothes, jumped into the fire ring, and fought with Suzaku, who gradually couldn't hold on, but spit out fire on Xu Zhi's body. Ignoring the fire on his body, Xu Zhi jumped behind him, skimmed Suzaku's arms, and hit the Weizhong acupoint on her knees, paralyzing her to the ground.

Xu Zhi hated Suzaku and was ruthless, so he simply put the burning clothes on her body, and Zhou, He, and Li also threw the burning clothes on Suzaku's body.

Poor Suzaku couldn't move, but she cried out loudly: "Suzaku is the god of the main fire, born in fire, buried in fire, and will definitely be reborn in the fire!"

Besides, Xu Zhi and the four of them extinguished the open flames on their bodies, stepped through the scorched grass, and continued to move forward, they saw that the exit of the Five Elements Valley was vaguely not far away, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Xu Zhi saw that the land in front of him was very soft, which was very different from the land he had walked before, and hurriedly retreated: "Everyone be careful, this is the soil escape technique of the Dongying people, this person must be a snake among the five elements!"

"Child, good eyesight!" Suddenly a man flew out of the soft sand, that person was over the age of six, wearing a yellow shirt and a yellow veil, only two eyes were exposed, and his appearance was very hideous. In order to deter Xu Zhi and the others, the snake held a full moon scimitar, and with a flash of the knife, it cut a large stone nearby into a cross shape.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The Five Elements Green Dragon White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu have all returned to the west, so the remaining damn one must be the Snake!"

The snake laughed and said: "Little friend, what a big breath, the old man is in a very good mood today, I will tell you a story first, and let you live for an extra hour!"

Zhou Yuanzhi said softly to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, I think this person's swordsmanship and light skills are much higher than the Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu in front, and it should be on par with the Sugawara Daozhen we met in Chang'an!

Xu Zhi nodded at Zhou Yuanzhi, and said in a loud voice, "Along the way, we are also exhausted from fighting, since Your Excellency wants to tell a story, then I will listen to it!"

The snake sat in the center of the sand and said slowly: "That was a past event sixty years ago, but it was also the most glorious moment for our Dongying ninjas! When I came to China with my father with the Tang Dynasty ship of the Dongying Kingdom, the Tang envoy was in Jiangzhou for a month due to a hurricane, and we also met the god Jiang Wang there.

Jiang Wangshen is very hospitable, invited our father and son into Jiangshan Jiulong Palace to live for many days, we saw that he was very hospitable, so he got a white rainbow sword from the sea as a gift to him, Jiang Wangshen asked us a lot of Dongying's ninjutsu, we all told each other one by one without reservation.

A month later, Jiang Wangshen accompanied us to continue to march to Chang'an, the New Year was approaching, we just arrived in Luoyang, when Luoyang's defense made Zhao set up a ring in Luoyang, asking the world's heroes to come to the stage to compete! The final winner can be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the street will be paraded for three days!

As soon as the snake said this, he was interrupted by Li Cunxiao: "Later, was there a young man who fought with Jiang Wangshen and lost, and his father defeated Jiang Wangshen again, and finally lost in the hands of a Dongying ninja's ghost retreat?"

The snake was surprised: "Little friend, how do you know?"

Li Cunxiao said with a smile: "Because the young man who was defeated by Jiang Wangshen is my grandfather, and the father who was plotted by you is my grandfather! Haha, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, this national enemy and family hatred sixty years ago, let's calculate it together!"

After hearing this, the snake suddenly laughed and said: "I see, if you want to take revenge, just come! The old man wants to see if it is your swordsmanship in the Central Plains that is powerful, or our Dongying people's skill!"
