Chapter 16: The Fierce Battle in the Night Forest
These two figures, one stabbed from the left with a sword, the speed was extremely fast, and the killing force was thick. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The other waved his palms and attacked Zhang Yifan's right side, his palms were heavy, and he was not weaker than the person holding the sword.
Zhang Yifan was furious, he couldn't imagine that he couldn't find that an ambush had already been laid here, just waiting for him to crash into it, and he couldn't imagine that these two people were so despicable and sneak attacked, leaving no room for a shot, and they were bound to kill with one blow.
But the incident happened suddenly, Zhang Yifan didn't have time to think about it, he could only stiffen his scalp, and let out a low cry in his throat, and suddenly, a metallic black glow emerged with the Jiuyang True Qi in Zhang Yifan's body, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a black light chain mail, which was firmly protected against the surface of Zhang Yifan's body.
This is exactly the body protection martial arts that Zhang Yifan has practiced for a long time - [Iron Cloth Shirt]!
Zhang Yifan has already been extremely proficient in this set of body protection martial arts, even if he is done in a hurry, he can still be familiar with the road without any mistakes.
As soon as the [Iron Cloth Shirt] appeared, Zhang Yifan immediately turned around and exposed his chest and back door, after all, the [Iron Cloth Shirt] body protection martial arts can only protect the body, and cannot protect other parts of the body, in order to avoid injury to his arms, Zhang Yifan can only do this.
At the same time, the two sneak attackers have also attacked, and the sword stabbed Zhang Yifan's chest without hesitation, and his palms were even more unwilling to hit the back together, both of which could take people's lives instantly, and they were extremely ruthless.
However, the [Iron Cloth Shirt] is not in vain, and Zhang Yifan has the two supreme body protection skills of [Jiuyang Divine Skill] and [Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill], and these two people want to break through his defenses, which is simply wishful thinking.
As soon as the attack of the two hit Zhang Yifan's body, they immediately felt a strong rebound force, which suddenly burst out from the other party's body, and shook them both out, until they were shocked and flew out a foot away before stabilizing their bodies, but the strong rebound force made their bodies churn with qi and blood, the tiger's mouth was painful, and their hands were numb, which was very uncomfortable.
Both of them were dumbfounded, they never expected that the other party was a hard stubble, under such a sneak attack, not only did they not kill each other, but they were almost shocked by the rebound force on the other party's body, which was really shocking and inexplicable.
Zhang Yifan was also able to resolve the crisis, and after recovering his breath a little, his face sank, and he glanced at the front and back respectively, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
Although these two people are not extremely ugly, they are also despicable and shameless, they are both between twenty and thirty years old, except that their clothes are slightly similar to the two teenagers on the Juying Building at noon today, their faces can be said to be very different.
And coupled with the critical situation and dark environment at that time, it is no wonder that Zhang Yifan would look at the wrong person.
However, Zhang Yifan was even more curious in his heart, who wanted to take his life.
It stands to reason that he has just entered the rivers and lakes, and there should be no enemies, and the only possibility is that the younger brother of the lord of the "Iron Tiger Gang" overheard in the Shang Mansion before, which is likely to be the big man he killed at noon today, but listening to what they said, the iron gang leader of the "Iron Tiger Gang" should not know who killed his younger brother, and it is unlikely that he will know that he visited the Shang Mansion at night, so as to send someone to ambush himself.
Zhang Yifan thought so in his heart, so he shouted at the two sneak attackers and asked, "Who are you two and why did you attack me?"
"Tut, I want to know, go to Lord Yama and ask!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man with the sword did not wait for his companion, he himself swung his sword first, and a resentful smile appeared on his hideous and terrifying face, which was terrifying.
This person has been extremely jealous because of his ugly face since he was a child, and he has been repeatedly rejected and ridiculed, so he is extremely jealous, and over time he has developed an extreme mentality, as long as he is a slightly handsome man, he will be jealous and abnormal, at this time, seeing Zhang Yifan's masculine and handsome appearance, he will make a big mistake, and he can't wait to make Zhang Yifan disappear from this world immediately.
Zhang Yifan's eyebrows were raised, anger gradually grew, and his feet moved slightly, but he easily dodged this person's hateful blow with just a slight deviation from his body.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yifan raised his right hand, and a hand knife was about to slash down the back of his neck, obviously just wanting to defeat the enemy with one move, and did not intend to kill this person.
Zhang Yifan is now full of questions, before he figured out the truth of the matter, he didn't want this person to make any mistakes, and he was not a murderer in the first place, so he would not kill people easily.
However, the young man with the sword saw that the sword move was easily dodged, and he did not show panic, but calmly swung the sword back, and blocked Zhang Yifan's hand knife with the sword body.
At the same time, Zhang Yifan suddenly felt that there was a vicious wind behind him, and hurriedly looked back, it turned out that it was another sneak attacker who took the opportunity to kill.
But this person is also clever, after the sneak attack just now, he knows that Zhang Yifan has a kind of quite clever body protection skills, and it is difficult to break through his defense under ordinary attacks.
Thinking so, this person decisively swung his palm at the back of Zhang Yifan's head, avoiding the [Iron Cloth Shirt] that protected Zhang Yifan's body.
Zhang Yifan is now wide open at the back door, coupled with the other party's rapid movements, he has no time to dodge at all, and he is about to be killed with one palm!
The young man with the sword was overjoyed when he saw this, and secretly said that this person was dying.
However, what neither of them knew was that Zhang Yifan not only knew [Iron Cloth Shirt] a kind of defensive martial arts, but he would also be able to strengthen the [Iron Head Gong] and the [Iron Crotch Gong] used in the ancestral hall.
The defense is as solid as gold, few opponents can break it, and it can be said to be invincible among its peers.
Rumble!
A dull sound sounded, and the palm of the young man in Mai hit Zhang Yifan's head fiercely, but it was expected that Zhang Yifan's head would break and bleed not only did not appear, but the right palm of the young man in Mai was like slapping on a hard iron ball, and the metacarpal bone burst with severe pain.
The young man in Mai screamed miserably, grabbed his right palm and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
The sword-wielding young man was shocked, and hurriedly waved the sword in his hand, the sword body rotated, like a roulette wheel, although the swordsmanship was not very clever, but it could be regarded as fast and agile, Zhang Yifan was not on guard, and the black strength suit was immediately marked out a few cuts, and the sword-wielding young man immediately fell back and withdrew when he saw the opportunity, keeping a distance from Zhang Yifan.
But as soon as the sword-wielding young man gained a firm foothold, Zhang Yifan was already close behind him, and in a blink of an eye, he came to his eyes again and raised his right hand
The index finger poked at it violently.
It is the [Mighty Vajra Finger] that can break the muscles and bones, also known as the [Finger Zen Gong].
Zhang Yifan's [Mighty King Kong Finger] at this time did not have the assistance of Jiuyang True Qi, and there was less of some strong and fierce dark energy, but it was blessed with the two layers of [Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong], under the huge force of nearly 1,000 catties, it only increased a bit of tyrannical sense of destruction, but it was slightly inferior to the assistance of Jiuyang True Qi.
The sword-wielding young man's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly used his sword as a shield, trying to block Zhang Yifan's powerful blow.
Boom!
The sound of the sword breaking, the sword-wielding young man's sword was broken into several pieces, and they fell to the ground one after another, and his left shoulder was hit at the same time, with a crisp click, the shoulder bone was shattered, the tendons and veins were completely broken, and his face was as white as paper, it seems that the left hand of the sword-wielding young man is afraid that it is useless, and he will never want to lift it up in this life, unless someone is willing to sacrifice himself and transplant his left hand to his body, otherwise, he can only be a one-armed swordsman for the rest of his life.
At this time, the sword-wielding young man couldn't bear it anymore, and he screamed miserably while holding the shoulder injured by the [Mighty King Kong Finger], and even his face was distorted and squeezed into a ball, which was extremely terrifying.
Zhang Yifan grabbed the placket of the sword-wielding young man and threw him next to the young man in Mai.
"Now...... Can you answer my question?"
After seeing that these two people were no longer able to fight back, Zhang Yifan said lightly, his voice was tepid, but when it came to the ears of these two people, it was like nine ghosts, extremely terrifying.
"Why, do you want me to give you a little more hardship before you can't say it?"
Seeing that these two people should not answer, Zhang Yifan's face turned cold.
"Shaoxia spares his life, my two brothers are just ordinary 'bounty hunters', and they don't mean to offend Shaoxia here!"
The young man in Mai, who was not very seriously injured, hurriedly replied when he saw that Zhang Yifan's face was wrong.
"Bounty hunters?"
Zhang Yifan looked at the young man in Mai in front of him with some doubts, because he didn't know what the "bounty hunter" was at all.
When the young man in sackcloth saw Zhang Yifan's expression, he muttered in his heart, this person is obviously so young, but his strength is far above them, but he seems to know nothing about the things in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't even know the "bounty hunter", which is really incomprehensible.
Although the Mai young man thought so in his heart, he hurriedly replied: "The so-called 'bounty hunter' is actually to help the imperial court and the martial arts sect hunt down some fugitives or traitors and the like, and after completing the task, you can get a small bounty, so as to mix up for a few days, this is the 'bounty hunter'." β
"But let's be honest, we bounty hunters have a very hard life, and we have tried to join some sects, but in the eyes of those sects, we are all some lowly statuses, no sects, no sects, and low status, unless your strength is up to the innate realm, otherwise these sects will generally not be included in the sect. β
Speaking of this, the young man in Mai showed a wry smile on his face, the status of bounty hunters over the years is not as good as year by year, and the bounty is even less and less, but those sects refuse to take them under their door, let alone the government, unless they have been cultivated by themselves since childhood, ordinary martial arts people will not accept it.
"Then let me ask you again, why do you two ambush me here?
Zhang Yifan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone began to be a little unkind.
"No, no, no, we don't mean to ambush the young man here. β
The Mai young man hurriedly explained: "Actually, our two brothers were also entrusted by someone to let us catch Shang An'an here tonight. β
"Catch Shang An'an? Why do you want to catch her? Who wants you to catch her?"
When Zhang Yifan heard the name "Shang An'an", he couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this Shang Wanbao's pearl in his hand? The doubts in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he asked three questions in one breath.
"We don't know any of this, because the man was talking to us with his face covered, and he refused to tell us why, and he only said that he would pay us three hundred taels of silver as a reward when the matter was done, and this money was enough for us two brothers to be free for a while. β
The young man in Mai said slowly, with some worry in his expression, for fear that Zhang Yifan would be angry with them because he couldn't get the answer he wanted.
"Then why are you sure that Shang An'an will come here, and she is a weak woman, how can she come here alone for no reason and be such an idiot?"
Zhang Yifan was a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but doubt what the young man in Mai in front of him said.
"At first, the two of us brothers thought the same way, but at that time, the man said that he would find a way to lure Shang An'an here, and told us to ambush here. β
When the young man in Mai said this, his face suddenly became a little resentful: "But I thought about it carefully afterwards and found that something was wrong with this matter, all the people in Qingyun Town know that although Shang Anan is a stunning beauty, she is just a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, is it still so troublesome to catch her?"
"So for the sake of prudence, I asked my eldest brother to ambush and hide here tonight, and I secretly sneaked into the Shang Mansion to check it out, to see how that person lured Shang An'an out, but I don't know this look, it scared me a lot, no one could have imagined that Shang An'an, the pearl of Shang Wanbao's palm, was inextricably separated from the mysterious person who ordered our two brothers to fight fiercely, and his skills actually had the cultivation of the acquired Dumen Realm, which was more than a big cut higher than the wounded Door Realm of our two brothers, and it really scared me out of the sky at that timeγ β
The young man in sackcloth looked incredulous, and the sword-wielding young man next to him could not hide his horror under his pale face, and even Zhang Yifan had a stunned expression.
"However, I faintly heard what they seemed to say in the fierce fight, as if they wanted Shang An'an to hand over the token or something, and I understood at that time, the reason why the mysterious man wanted our two brothers to ambush Shang An'an in the forest was that he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of Shang An'an afterwards, so he wanted to lead him to the forest and move eastward, and wanted us to help him drag Shang An'an for a period of time so that he could take the opportunity to escape, not to catch Shang An'an at all, and the three hundred taels of silver were naturally just casually deceiving our two brothers. β
After thinking about this, I was furious, and suddenly an idea moved in my mind, thinking that the mysterious man didn't seem to have gotten what he wanted, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed longer in the Shang Mansion that was now full of masters, so I turned my heart sideways, and simply sneaked into Shang An'an's room to look for it, to see if I could find something, but I really found a metal token in a hidden compartment, and at this time, Shang An'an suddenly shouted and startled me, I hurriedly went out to take a look, and saw a large number of masters rushing to me, and the mysterious man disappeared for some time, and Shang An'an didn't know why, As if she didn't want others to know about her martial arts, she used a veil to cover her face, and I didn't dare to think about it at the time, so I quietly fled from the other direction on the roof, and you also know what happened after that. β
The young man in Mai recounted the incident in one breath, and then looked at Zhang Yifan with a worried face, as if he was afraid that Zhang Yifan would not be satisfied with the result.
After listening to what the young man in sackcloth said, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but show a sudden look on his face, it turned out that the person he tracked down here was the young man in Mai in front of him, he didn't expect that this person's martial arts skills were not high, but his body was so good, but unfortunately he didn't know how to use it flexibly, otherwise Zhang Yifan would really have to spend some hands and feet if he wanted to subdue this person.
"Where's the token? take it out and give it to me. β
After Zhang Yifan pondered for a while, he said in an irrefutable tone.
"Yes, it's the token. β
The young man in Mai didn't dare to have any opinions, and quickly took out an iron plate from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yifan.
Zhang Yifan took the token and took a closer look, this token is not good-looking, only half the size of a palm, the whole is made of a piece of black iron, around the token, there are several hideous and terrifying ghosts, and in the mouth of the evil ghost, there is also a lifelike Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and the center of the token is a bland "flat" word, I really can't see what secrets are inside.
Zhang Yifan had no choice but to put it aside first, and then said slowly: "I'll ask one last question now, how did you two escape my ears, with your strength, it is impossible not to be discovered by me." β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young man in Mai and the young man with the sword were suddenly shocked, and their hearts sank.
