Chapter 55: The Assassin of the Autumn Knife Gate
Old man Wu and his wife were both stabbed in the neck, and the wounds were very neat. Blood flowed all over the bed. It's just that the faces of the two of them are very peaceful, and it is obvious that they were quickly cut off by someone while they were asleep, and their lives were extinguished.
Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu looked at the two old men, and couldn't help but feel a trance in their hearts. Vaguely, the figure of the old couple was still flashing in their minds, but at this moment, they had separated the two lives. The fire in the house was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to burn in front of the bed. Xiao Ling wrapped the two corpses with sheets and quilts, and with force in his hands, he picked up the two corpses. Jumped out of the house with Liu Yixu. After coming out, the two heard the sound of a fight in the distance. Xiao Ling placed the bodies of Old Man Wu and his wife on a clearing. Then, the two of them quickly walked to the place where they had spoken.
At this time, more than 20 night walkers had gathered around Guan Ti. There are eight masters of gathering flow in this group of night walkers, and although the other night walkers have not reached the realm of gathering flow, they are obviously good at assassination, and their moves are all desperate to fight. And these nocturnal walkers seem to be specially trained and work very closely with each other.
Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu came step by step, and saw Guan Ti who was besieged by all the people in black. The Autumn Moon Sword on Liu Yixu's waist flew out, bringing up a piece of green light, and flew towards the man in black. The green light emitted was like a ghostly light in the night, and it looked dark and terrifying. With a fierce momentum, the Qiuyue Sword quickly stabbed into the back of a man in black, seriously injuring him, and then quickly flew out and returned to Liu Yixu's hands.
Faced with this sudden flying long sword, all the night people were shocked for a while. The long sword automatically flies, the legendary flying sword, taking the head of a person in an instant. How the crowd was not surprised. For a while, most of the cowardly people who surrounded the attack turned around. looked at Liu Yixu and Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling shouted: "Who are you and why did you kill the villagers of Wujia Village." ”
The night walker who turned his head was neutral, and one of the people in the middle pointed the big knife in his hand at Xiao Ling and the two, and shouted in his mouth: "Kill!"
But seeing that the black-clothed people put up the big knives in their hands and rushed towards Liu Yixu and the others. Xiao Ling took out a leather whip from his waist, and silently recited in his heart the 'turning, pumping' method of exchanging things for heart transfer. Seeing the heavy shadow of the whip, with the blessing of its phantom moon footwork, the gods came out of nowhere, killing the night people.
Liu Yixu's Autumn Moon Sword is also full of power. Before the black-clothed people approached, a 'Danxia Sword Qi' headed towards everyone with a thunderous momentum.
The big swords in the hands of the four people in black all lit up red, and when Danxia's sword qi arrived, Qi Qi used the big knife in his hand to slash towards the sword qi. For a moment an explosion sounded. Several people obviously underestimated the power of this Danxia sword qi. Despite the strong resistance, one of them still vomited blood from his mouth, apparently injured.
Just when the night people were in chaos, Xiao Ling's long whip arrived. Under that strange long whip, many people in black couldn't resist it, and unfortunately they were whipped by the leather whip. For a while, there was confusion in the neat cooperation of the man in black. The men in black were forced to separate, and the four men in black from the Gathering Realm surrounded Liu Yixu. And the rest of the people came towards Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling looked at these black-clothed people and thought of the old man Wu and his wife who were killed and the villagers. For a while, the murderous aura rose in his heart. Taking advantage of the chaos of the black-clothed people, rely on the wonder of the Phantom Moon footwork. Shuttling among the men in black. A whip was whipped at the men in black. Xiao Ling's every whip was infused with the power of true qi. The whip touched the body, bringing out blood marks.
But the black-clothed men were like wood, and the whips were struck, although the flesh and blood were flying. But no one cried out in pain. Just dodged slightly, and the black-clothed men raised their knives and killed desperately. After a quarter of an hour of fighting, Xiao Ling was impatient. Seizing an opportunity, the leather whip in his hand rolled out, and he rolled the big knife in the hand of one of the men in black. Holding his right hand, he immediately beckoned to the man in black with a knife, and it didn't take long to fight. Relying on his strange body technique, Xiao Ling cut off the head of a man in black with a knife.
Seeing this, the black-clothed people were fearless, and they killed even harder, but Xiao Ling's movement was too weird. Walking through the crowd, it is difficult to hold its tracks. After fighting for a long time, the men in black only had time to parry, and had no power to fight back.
Guan Ti also relieved himself after the man in black divided most of his manpower to deal with Liu Yixu and Xiao Ling. A folding fan and a left palm dismantle all the opponent's attacks. The streams of true qi it shot out continued to explode in the air. For a while, no one dared to answer. Under a strong attack, it completely took the lead. Under the wave of the folding fan, it didn't take long for four black-clothed people below the Gathering Realm to fall. When the men in black saw that they were defeated, they began to gather together.
The four people who besieged Liu Yixu didn't take much advantage under Liu Yixu's Qiuyue sword, and when they saw that the people in black continued to fall, one of the people in black shouted loudly: "Withdraw, take the corpse away." For a while, all the black-clothed people stopped attacking, and one of the four black-clothed people who besieged Liu Yixu in the Gathering Realm resisted Xiao Ling. The rest of the men in black lifted the corpses on the ground and scattered them in all directions.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Ling rushed in front of all the black-clothed people and rolled up the body of one of the black-clothed men with a whip in his hand. Throw it at Guan Timid. Shouted: "Keep this body." Then he quickly dodged the attacking broadsword.
Guan Ti took the corpse and trampled it under his feet. The folding fan in his hand blocked the four people besieging him. One left palm flew up and down, forcing the four to retreat.
When the men in black saw this, they did not love to fight, and scattered one after another.
When the black-clothed people dispersed, the three of them saw that they had no time to catch up. Guan Ti looked at Liu Yixu and Xiao Ling and said, "Thank you two for coming to help." ”
Xiao Ling asked, "Do you know who they are?"
Guan Ti looked at the black-clothed man left on the ground: "These people are obviously trained. As he spoke, he picked up a wooden stick and picked up the clothes of the man in black. It can be seen that there is a long strange fish logo hanging from his waist. Guan was stunned for a moment and said, "It's Qiudaomen!!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ling said, "What kind of sect is the Autumn Dao Sect?"
Guan Timidly looked at the corpse of the man in black, as if he was thinking deeply. After a long time, he said: "No, this Wujia Village is a poor and remote place. It's right not to become the target of the Autumn Knife Gate's extermination. Then their goal, ••••••" Speaking of this, it was a chill in my heart for no reason.
Xiao Ling continued: "Did Gang Master Guan see something?"
Guan shook his head and said, "I didn't find it." This Akitomon is an organization that has emerged in recent years. Their symbol is the fish on this man. The shape of this fish is similar to that of the saury, so it is called the autumn knife gate by the people of the rivers and lakes. Over the years, he has done a lot of things to destroy the Mid-Autumn Daomen in the rivers and lakes. According to the investigation of my Dongting Gang, there are many famous local merchant families such as the Zhang family, the Lu family, and the Hu family in the territory of my Dongting Gang who were wiped out by this Qiudaomen. This Autumn Knife Gate is mysterious and abnormal. The targets they killed were all wealthy merchants, and there were few cases of destroying ordinary people today. ”
Guan Ti was silent for a while and then said: "In the past few years, the Righteous Path Alliance has already sent many people to track down this Autumn Dao Gate, but the Autumn Dao Gate is really weird. Although some clues have been found, the whereabouts of the Autumn Knife Gate have always been a mystery. ”
Xiao Ling immediately searched the body of the man in black on the ground carefully, except for the logo of the saury on his body. No further discoveries were made.
The three of them watched as the fire in the village gradually went out, and the sky was gradually whitening at this time. Looking at Wujia Village, which had been reduced to ruins under the fire. The three of them felt heavy in their hearts.
Then, the three of them searched the village for a while. The bones of the corpses that were killed in the village were dug in the ground and buried in the ground. To be disposed of of the body. Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu stood in front of the new grave of Old Man Wu and his wife. In front of the earthen grave, the two bowed a few times.
In the past half a month, the enthusiasm of the couple has given Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu a lot of warmth. Especially Liu Yixu, since she learned martial arts, the more than half a month in this Wujia Village was her first experience of mortal life. Facing the simple grave of the second elder, Liu Yixu couldn't help but shed tears.
At this time, Guan Timid experienced this fight. The obsession with Liu Yixu in his eyes has disappeared. looked at Xiao Ling and said, "Brother Xiao Ling, although you two can save me once." But I will take back the ancestral things of my house in the future. ”
Xiao Lingzheng was in deep pain, and said when he heard the words: "Xiao is waiting at any time, in fact, if it weren't for me, it would be of great use." It won't be hard for you. ”
Guan Ti replied: "Then I will give you three months, and I will go to retrieve it then." ”
Xiao Ling replied: "That's it, then thank you." After speaking, he got up and was about to leave here with Liu Yixu.
At this time, I saw a large group of people walking towards this place from the path outside the village. One of them shouted at Xiao Ling and the others: "Stop, thieves! How can the villagers of Wujia Village offend you and others, and they actually want to do the evil act of slaughtering the village." ”
Xiao Ling and the three of them followed the prestige, and saw several strong men with knives followed by a large group of people. Quickly towards the three of them. In the crowd, there were those who carried swords, those who carried broadswords, those who carried hoes on their shoulders, and those who held scythes. Most of the people are fishermen and farmers around them.
In the crowd, including several strong men who took the lead, many people had white cloths hanging on their right sleeves. In the knife-like man who took the lead, there was a large scar on the right side of the face of the person at the head, and under the scar, a big face looked extremely fierce. He was followed by a middle-aged man in his fifties, who was thinner but had piercing eyes.
Everyone stepped forward and saw Xiao Ling and the three of them clearly. For a while, there were voices of discussion in the crowd.
"It's the Guan gang leader. ”
"How could the Guan Gang Master do such a thing?"
"No, Gang Master Guan is a good person. Someone else must have done it. ”
••••••
The scarred strong man saw that Guan was timid, but he quickly raised the big knife and firmly surrounded the three of Guan Ti with the people with white cloth on the sleeves behind him.
Seeing this, Guan Ti said to the scarred strong man: "Nanru Qiuxu, I have met the leader of this gang. How so. Could it be that you really suspect that I did this massacre!"
The scarred man looked sad and angry, and said loudly: "You are embarrassed to call yourself the helper! Last night, my Nan Duo received a joint order from the elders. You murdered Deputy Gang Leader Dai and raped and killed Deputy Gang Leader's wife. Today, he did this massacre of Wujia Village. Such a mad thief still wants to be the master of my gang again. The Order of the Elders' Union has removed you from the position of Helper. It's ridiculous, if you do evil things, can't you still pretend to be a good person here? Today we are going to avenge Deputy Dai's gang leader. Except for you, a thief with a human face and a beast's heart. Brothers, give it to me!"
With this Qiu Xu's loud shout, the people surrounding the three of them came out with their swords for a while, and they all greeted the three of them.
At this time, the villagers on the periphery heard Qiu Xu's words, but they started talking again.
"Deputy Gang Leader Dai has been killed!"
"Gang Leader Guan is a good person, and he will not murder Deputy Gang Leader Dai. ”
"Gang Master Guan has long been greedy for Deputy Gang Leader's wife, and it is not impossible to do such a thing. ”
•••••
In the midst of everyone's words, the Dongting Gang Nanduo Gang was under the leadership of Qiu Xu. Towards Guan Ti, the three of them continued to attack.
Guan Ti heard Qiu Xu's words, and saw the white cloth on the sleeves of the gangs. The words of 'murder Deputy Gang Leader Dai, rape and murder Deputy Gang Leader Dai's wife' sounded in his head. For a while, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the whole person was stunned on the spot. Just looked at Qiu Xu who had been killed, and said in his mouth: "What are you talking about? Deputy Dai Gang Leader was killed, and Rou'er and Rou'er were also killed. It's not true, you say it's not true!"
Guan shouted timidly, ignoring the swords that came over.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling knew that it was not good, and unfolded the whip in his hand. Defend against attacking weapons.
Na Qiu Xu slashed the big knife in his hand and said, "Guan Gang Master, do you still want to pretend to be a good person? The Elders' Joint Order has been issued, and you killed Deputy Gang Leader." The evidence is conclusive. On weekdays, Dai is the deputy gang leader, and he has worked hard to run my Dongting Gang to the point where it is today. But I don't want to, you madman, not only are you ungrateful. also plotted for sex, and actually harmed our deputy gang leader. Today, I don't avenge Deputy Dai's gang leader. I'm a vain man. ”
Although the martial arts of this Nanru gang were mediocre, everyone fought bravely under the leadership of Qiu Xu. Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu fended off the attack together. But it is also gradually struggling.
At this time, Guan Ti shouted in his mouth: "Impossible, how can it be." Brother Dai won't die, and Rou'er won't die. You lie to me, you lie to me!" he said, opening the folding fan in his hand and waving it in one direction. Shoot down the attacking weapon in an instant. At the same time, the left palm was issued, pushing away the row of people in front of him. But in a trance, he didn't notice the sword that came from under him. Suddenly struck a sword in the foot. Fortunately, Guan Ti has deep skills, and the sword and the flesh, the feet are moved to the side, so that the long sword enters the flesh and is drawn out. But the blood on his feet was already pouring out.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu together. Drag the cowardice up. Towards the gap where it was launched, it flew out quickly. The crowd behind them saw the three escape from the encirclement. Then he ran quickly, wanting to encircle and attack. But Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu are running with true qi under their feet, how can everyone catch up.
The three of them ran forward and saw a fishing boat in front of them, tied to the shore. Xiao Ling put Guan Ti down, tore off a piece of clothing, and simply bandaged the wound on Guan Ti's foot. The three of them got into the fishing boat, then removed the rope that tied it to the shore, rowed the boat, and headed for the middle of the lake.
