Zhang Haoran has been sitting alone in the study for a long time, the tea on the case has been changed again and again, but he has no intention of drinking, only staring at the screen in front of him in a daze. The screen is painted with phoenixes and peonies, symbolizing wealth and auspiciousness, but his heart has already fallen to the bottom, and he knows that he is afraid that he will not escape this time. Because just three days ago, he received a nirvana order from Ouyang Batian, the head of the Ruthless Valley: take Zhang Haoran's head in three days.

Speaking of the name Zhang Haoran, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it. He studied under the Shaolin sect of Wulin Taishan Beidou, and was a lay disciple of the abbot Master Wuregret. At that time, the eight major factions of the Central Plains sent a group of masters to the Western Regions to crusade against the Demon Sect's Desperate Valley, but they were tragically surrounded and annihilated by the Demon Sect for various reasons. Only seven people escaped under the bloody battle, and Zhang Haoran was one of them. In that battle, the masters of the eight factions in the Central Plains suffered countless casualties and suffered great injuries, and Zhang Haoran, who was only thirty years old, was unanimously elected as the leader of the alliance. Since then, he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for 20 years, known as an invincible opponent all over the world, with a lofty status, which is really a generation of heroes. It stands to reason that with his ability, he was chased and killed by the Demon Sect, and he should gladly meet the battle, but on the day he received the order to kill, he dismissed the servants at home, and sent his wife and children to escape from his hometown. It's not that he wasted his fame, but that this Ouyang Batian's reputation is too great.

As early as a hundred years ago, the Valley of Despair was created by Zao Wou-Ki, a descendant of the Queen Bee family. This queen bee family has been a thief for generations, rich in the world, Zao Wou-Ki is the only male in the clan, and the amount of wealth inherited by him is beyond the imagination of outsiders. He hid all the treasures in the clan in the mountains behind the Valley of Despair, and made a nine-bead lock, and the people in the rivers and lakes rushed to the Valley of Despair for the treasure hunt, but never came back, and the Valley of Despair has since become a demon cult. Ten years ago, Ouyang Batian, the third-generation head of the Valley of Despair, succeeded the patriarch's will, intending to annex the martial arts. Zhang Haoran was thinking like this, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the housekeeper flashed in and said, "Master, I'm back, what's the situation in the house?"

Zhang Haoran didn't look at him, and only asked, "Have you sent everyone away?"

The housekeeper said: "Don't worry, master, the lady and the young master are already safe, you don't have to worry." The people of the Demon Cult are about to come, so you better get an idea!"

Zhang Haoran sneered: "Idea? Now, I can only resign myself to fate." Back then, in order to sit on the throne of the alliance leader, I colluded with the Demon Sect, and others don't know about this private thing, don't you know either? As long as the Valley of Despair announces all this to the world, my reputation will be completely ruined!"

The housekeeper said angrily: "The Demon Sect is inevitably too vicious, those people were all forced by them to kill the master, and now they should all be counted on the master's head?"

Zhang Haoran sneered: "They didn't persecute me, I was greedy for life and afraid of death, I remembered my power, my hands were stained with blood, this is my retribution, I can't blame anyone......"

The butler lowered his head and said, "One wrong step, one wrong step, the master fell for the Demon Sect, so he was used by them for so many years." ”

Zhang Haoran waved his hand and said: "That's it, what's the point of talking about this now? I just want to retire from the rivers and lakes and stop doing things for Ouyang Batian, he has to take my life, it seems that this time I am dead, and no one can save me." ”

He suddenly shouted, "Who?" When he turned around, he saw a young man in his early twenties sitting on the chair of the Taishi opposite. The man's eyebrows and feathers are high, strong and powerful, and he must have lived outside the customs for a long time, so he has an ancient complexion. He stretched his muscles and said slowly: "How is the leader of Zhang Dameng lately? The junior was ordered to come to take your life, if you have any last words, please explain it quickly!"

Zhang Haoran suddenly seemed to be greatly insulted, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, you are too blind to no one, and you are worthy of killing me? ”

The man sneered: "The Sword Demon asked Yu Hang." ”

"Sword Demon ......" Zhang Haoran couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect that this stinky kid would be Ouyang Batian's big disciple, and the famous "Sword Demon" in the past two years asked Yuhang. thought that he single-handedly washed the first family in Huaiyin, Meizhuang, into a no-man's land, shocking the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

Zhang Haoran looked up at the sword he was holding in his hand, and it was indeed the "Thousand Demon Sword" of the Ruthless Valley, so he whispered with a gloomy face: "Why didn't your master come?

Ask Yuhang said with a smile: "The family teacher does not see treacherous people. Back then, you were trapped in the dungeon of the Valley of Despair, and promised to help us do things, and my master formed an alliance with you as brothers, although they only used each other, but the family teacher made you climb to the throne of the alliance leader step by step, and dominated the rivers and lakes for 20 years. But how did you repay us? After you have achieved fame, you have turned against our faction, which is extremely shameless!"

Zhang Haoran's face was as silent as death: "There is no need to mention the things of the past, it was because the old man was carried away by fame and fortune that he got on your thief ship, so that now he is stuck in the mud and it is difficult to lift himself...... Can't you let me go? I promise to retire from now on and never appear again. ”

Asked Yuhang sat on the couch and laughed all over: "The matter has been done, and you want to leave if you pat your buttocks?" On the one hand, you want to ignore morality and harm Zhongliang for the sake of rights, and on the other hand, you want to keep the reputation of benevolence, hmph, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? The old heroes of Zhou, the brave heroes, and the bamboo forest were all killed by your own hands, and the evidence and witnesses are all kept in my desperate valley, as long as you poke all this out of the rivers and lakes, if you don't work hard for me, you will die immediately and have no place to be buried!"

Zhang Haoran snorted: "It's nonsense, what happened back then was very clean, how can there be any evidence and witnesses?" He suddenly flashed cold, remembering that day when he killed the bamboo forest double wall, he was broken by their ten-year-old son, he was about to be killed, but was preempted by the messenger of the Valley of Despair, could it be that the child did not die, but was taken to the Valley of Despair? He then remembered more hypotheses, Zhou Lao Hero, Brave Hero, after the death of these people, their family apprentices were all not helped by the envoy of the Desperate Valley, and he was very grateful at the beginning, but he didn't expect it...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared angrily: "What a Jiang old thief (Jiang Xun, the second-generation head of the Ruthless Valley, Master Ouyang Batian), what a Ouyang Batian, you ...... You're so vicious! You ordered me to kill all these people, and now you want to blame me for all of them?"

Asked Yuhang contemptuously: "It's all our instructions?" Zhang Daxia is really not sorry when he says this, you know the truth in your own heart. But don't worry, the family teacher cherishes the feelings of righteousness, and considering your contribution to my Heartless Valley over the years, I won't let you be ruined, but you still have to die after all...... Zhang Haoran, since you became the leader of the alliance, you have killed many disciples of my Desperate Valley, and today I will let you pay for your blood debts. As he spoke, the long sword came out of its sheath, and the invisible sword qi immediately surrounded Zhang Haoran, and a move "Black Cloud Crushing the City" slashed towards his left shoulder.

"I have heard that the Thousand Demon Sword Technique is the Sword Sect of the World, but I don't know how many layers you have comprehended?" After Zhang Haoran finished speaking, he saw that his momentum was not weak, and he hurriedly resorted to "hugging the tiger and returning to the mountain" to avoid it, and the marble-paved ground behind him was also carved out of a chasm as deep as an inch. He was secretly frightened and shouted: "Good swordsmanship, eat my move." The left palm is raised, which is the "air swallowing mountains and rivers" in Shaolin boxing. He studied under the current Shaolin abbot without regrets, and is a martial arts master who crisscrosses the rivers and lakes. As soon as he raised his left palm, he felt that his whole body was shrouded in palm power, and he immediately reversed the blade of the sword, and stabbed several swords with a "light to the sun". The two of you went back and forth, dismantling the moves, and in a blink of an eye, they attacked more than a dozen moves. Zhang Haoran saw that the opponent's swordsmanship was fierce, his moves were ruthless and strange, and he was hiding killing intentions everywhere, and he wanted to take people's lives, and several times the blade of the sword was shaved along his own bun, and he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. Secretly thinking that this Ouyang Batian's eldest disciple is young, but his martial arts are really good, and he doesn't dare to hold it anymore at the moment, abandoning foreign objects and strictly guarding the door, eager to find the other party's flaws. After a few more moves, he suddenly realized that he couldn't use his internal strength, and in panic, he took a sword in his chest, and was shocked by the powerful impact force and flew a few feet away.

Asked Yuhang to laugh wildly: "Zhang Daxia, you are a martial arts senior, I naturally have self-knowledge that I can't kill you, so I bought your servant and did something in your well, as long as you use your internal strength, you will be poisoned, hahaha!"

"You...... Sinister villain!" Zhang Haoran panicked and hurriedly tried to use his skills to force the poison, but as Wen Yuhang said, he could no longer raise a trace of true qi. He looked at the butler who had long been hiding in the corner, and said bitterly: "Is it you? We grew up together since childhood, like brothers, what benefits did he give you, why did you betray me?"

The housekeeper said coldly: "Love the same brother, the master is wrong, I am just a subordinate of the Zhang family, and I dare not call you a brother." Besides, the conditions offered by this son are very generous, and I have no reason not to do things for him. ”

Asked Yu Hang sneered: "People die for money, birds die for food, don't Zhang Mengzhu understand this truth? I admit that I am a villain, but are you a righteous man and a gentleman?"

Zhang Haoran closed his eyes in despair, but he suddenly found that he was only a few dozen steps away from the water of the Garden Lake, and he hurriedly jumped into the water with all his strength. Asked Yuhang but didn't chase it, but swept down the golden plaque of the alliance leader's mansion "Great Benevolence and Righteousness" with a sword.

"Righteous Path Martial Arts Alliance Master?" he stepped over the golden plaque and walked away. Behind him, the butler watched him walk away, so he tore off the human skin mask on his face, and in the air, a carrier pigeon flew away.
