Chapter 231: Wipe it out

Seeing Han Bing suddenly appear from the entrance of the secret passage, Master Huinian in the meditation room and Monk Zhiming, who had just come from the secret passage, were taken aback.

They glanced at each other, and at the same time realized that something must have happened in the abbot's meditation room just after Fang Cai Zhiming left.

Completely ignoring the surprised gazes of the two masters, Han Bing just smiled slyly at them, and with a slight arch of his hand, he dodged and rushed out of the door of the meditation room.

He quietly touched the vicinity of the abbot's meditation room again, paused and observed silently for a moment, and at the same time further confirmed that his previous analysis of these enemies in the temple was completely correct.

These masters are all distributed on the periphery of this abbot's meditation room at the moment, but the location where they are hiding is not very close to the meditation room, presumably for fear of being detected by masters like Han Bing and Master Huinian.

Moreover, according to Han Bing's guess, these Ouchi masters should wait for him to leave before making a move to Master Huinian. Then, in order not to alarm him, the road leading from the meditation room to the gate of the monastery should be left unambushed for him to pass through when he leaves.

That is to say, there should be no one in the front of the meditation room now, and those masters are concentrated on the left, right and rear of the meditation room.

At this moment, Han Bing was hidden behind a big tree in front of the abbot's meditation room, and there was indeed no trace of any enemy nearby.

He was already very familiar with the environment here, and knew that there was a guest hall on the left and right sides of the meditation room that was used to receive foreign guests and handle housekeeping. Next to the guest hall on the left, there is also a small scripture pavilion.

After a moment's thought, Han Bing decided to start with the enemy who was ambushing on the right side of the meditation room. Because there are fewer places to hide, there will be relatively fewer people in ambush, and his chance of being discovered is naturally much smaller.

But he also knows that sooner or later his actions will be discovered by the other party. If you can solve one more in the dark, it's one. After all, a sneak attack is always easier to succeed than facing the enemy head-on, so it will naturally be more effortless, and it can also prevent them from seeking an opportunity to escape from the temple.

Tonight, he must wipe out these Zheng Yong's henchmen, so that the traitor will no longer find enough people to snatch the key in Master Huinian's hand in a short period of time.

After making up his mind, he quietly moved his figure, from the front of the meditation room to the right side of it.

Sure enough, except for a guest hall and a few tall ancient trees outside to hide people, the rest of the place was empty.

Han Bing first used his ears and eyes to search for the few ancient trees with lush foliage. It turned out that only one of the ancient trees had a person hidden on it, presumably an observation post used to monitor the surrounding movements.

Since there are people in the tree here, there should also be people in the tree in front of the guest hall opposite, and they can communicate with each other.

In this way, it is very difficult to solve them secretly. If you move someone on one side, the person on the other side will immediately notice it and alert the others.

The only way is not to alarm them for the time being, first quietly clean up the people hiding in the house, and finally clean up the two observation posts.

So, Han Bing immediately locked his eyes on the guest hall used to receive foreign guests.

This guest hall is not big, and there should not be a few people in it.

He sneaked under the window of this guest room, took out the moon-running sword from his bosom, and then quickly and silently climbed through the window and entered-

The carnage lasted only a few breaths. After that, only Han Bing was left breathing alone in this guest hall, and the throats of the other six Ouchi masters had all been cut by sharp blades, and there was no chance to breathe again.

The other six Ouchi masters who were hiding in the guest hall on the left side of the abbot's meditation room soon followed in the footsteps of the previous six, and they were all killed by Han Bing by cutting their necks with a sharp sword, and they died defenselessly and silently.

Comparatively speaking, the enemies hidden in the small scripture pavilion next to this guest hall are much more piercing.

Although there were only four of them, they looked like the people in charge of this operation, and their martial arts were much stronger than those of Fang Cai, and it naturally took a lot more effort to solve the cold ice.

Especially the man among the four of them who made the Xuantie Judge pen, his kung fu is quite not weak, and his brain is also extremely flexible. He took advantage of the cold ice distraction to deal with the other three, and turned around to escape.

However, just as his men reached the closed door, the cold ice, which had killed the three men who had besieged him, had already swooped down on him.

But he seemed to have been on guard for a long time, and before he even looked back, he took off his hand and threw the judge's pen towards the cold ice chasing behind him—

As long as this judge's pen can stop the cold ice even for a short moment, he can take the opportunity to break out of the door and send a distress signal to his companions outside.

Seeing that his hand had touched the wooden door, and with a slight force, he could immediately pull it open, when a silent parting arrow suddenly sank into the back of his neck!

Han Bing walked up to the man's corpse and tried to mend his wound with a sword, so that no one would find out that he had suffered an arrow wound.

But in the blink of an eye, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the judge's pen that had just been shot on his right shoulder, and casually inserted it into the arrow hole in the back of the man's neck that was still bubbling with blood.

Only then did he have a chance to pause and catch his breath, and by the way, he examined the injured right shoulder.

In order not to give his opponent a chance to escape, he actually gave up dodging and allowed the judge's pen to be inserted into his right shoulder.

Of course, at the moment of making this decision, he actually had an accurate judgment -

Although the strength of the judge's pen is very large, the direction is a little off, and it will not cause too much damage to itself, nor will it have much impact on the next fight.

Sure enough, he was right. Although the wound on the right shoulder was deep, it did not hurt any meridians. He pointed to several acupuncture points around the wound, temporarily stopped the bleeding, and transferred the Moon-Running Sword to his left hand.

Now that he had dealt with the enemies in the hiding houses on both sides of the meditation room, Han Bing decided to ignore the observation posts on the two invisible trees for now.

At this time, the two observation posts were still unaware of the killing that had taken place behind them.

Their eyes were still fixed on the direction of the abbot's meditation room, waiting for Han Bing to come out of there quickly, but they didn't know that Han Bing had already touched the back of this abbot's meditation room.

The terrain behind is much more complex than on the sides.

Between the abbot's meditation room and the courtyard wall, there are two rows of side rooms, in which many people should be able to hide. According to Han Bing's estimates, there are probably no less than ten people in total.

This is a very tricky problem, because the two rows of wings are facing each other.

Although the guest halls on the left and right sides of Fang Cai are also facing each other, because they are far away from each other, and there are some trees in between, it is basically impossible to see the situation on the opposite side, nor can they hear any slight movements.

However, the distance between the two rows of rooms is very close, and there is only a not too wide aisle in between, so that you can see the situation on the opposite side clearly.

Moreover, with the ears of these Ouchi masters, they should be able to clearly hear any unusual movements coming from the opposite side.

At this point, there was no time for Han Bing to think about it. He had no choice but to repeat the old trick and enter one of the wings through the window.

When he eliminated all six people in this row of rooms, the people on the other side were really alarmed, and some people had already rushed out of the room.

Although it didn't take much ice to kill the six people who rushed out of the opposite wing, the sound they made had obviously alarmed the two observation posts hiding in the trees in front of them, and also alarmed the monks who were patrolling the night in Jishi Temple.

The two observation posts did not understand the situation for a moment after hearing the movement, but actually sent a signal to the room behind them at the same time.

However, after the signal was sent for a long time, they did not get any response, and they realized that something had happened, but unfortunately it was too late!

After Han Bing dealt with the enemy behind him, he immediately flew towards the observation post on the tree on the left side of the meditation room, and at this time, the man also swooped down from the tree and attacked him with a sword.

Instead of rushing to kill him, Han Bing retreated as he fought, approaching the enemy in the tree on the right.

The master of Ouchi, who was hiding in the tree on the right, thought that Han Bing didn't know about his existence at all. Therefore, after aiming for an opportunity, he jumped off the tree himself, swung his sword and attacked from behind, and together with his accomplices, formed a flanking attack on the ice.

And what Han Bing was waiting for was the moment when he threw himself into the net, and the Moon Rushing Sword in his hand shone out a clear light, directly cutting the throats of these two Ouchi masters.

Just as the two of them were clutching their blood-spurting throats and falling, the monks who were patrolling the night in Jishi Temple arrived.

Fortunately, there was no need to bother to explain to them at all, and Master Hui Nian had already arrived.

Han Bing only bowed solemnly to Master Hui Nian, and without making any stops, he strode towards the mountain gate of the temple.

He knew very well that this unusual commotion in the temple must have alarmed the enemies who were lying in ambush outside the temple. At this time, they should have realized that the prey they were waiting for had already arrived in the temple.

In this way, those who are ambushed outside the temple are faced with two choices-

First, on the pretext of hearing the commotion coming from the temple, he directly broke into the temple to capture the cold ice.

The second is to continue to ambush outside, waiting for Han Bing to come out of the temple, and then attack and kill him.

According to common sense, if those people were really the masters of Ouchi sent by the emperor, they should choose the latter.

Because their goal is only Han Bing and the key in his hand, they don't want to take care of the affairs of Jishi Temple, and of course, they don't want to have any conflict with the monks in the temple.

Of course, if Han Bing stayed in the temple and didn't go out for a long time, they would eventually be unable to help but break in.

But at this moment, Han Bing suddenly thought of another possibility. At the same time, he also had a hunch that those enemies outside the temple should soon break into the temple.

Therefore, he had to get out of the temple himself before they broke in. In this way, Jishiji Temple will not be involved in the battle that may ensu.

So, without hesitation, he stepped out of the gate of Jishi Temple, and then heard the two heavy wooden doors slowly close behind him.

Standing on the bluestone steps in front of the temple, Han Bing closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly sat down cross-legged.
