Chapter 198: The Stone Terrace Scuffle
Li Xuan looked at the oily old man in front of him lightly, and saw that although he was sluggish and heavy when he flew on stage, he looked like he didn't care, and said in his heart: "This person's martial arts don't look very good, why is he full of confidence, is he deliberately hiding his strength?" But Li Xuan didn't know that although this Tian Anbang was the master of a family, he had already squeezed out his good muscles and bones because of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and the reason why he dared to take the stage to challenge was because he pondered for a long time offstage, and felt that only Li Xuan could be bullied. However, he also knew that even if he defeated Li Xuan, he would definitely not be able to cope with the challenges that others challenged him. But I have survived most of my life in the rivers and lakes, and I have tasted the taste of eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and killing people, and I have not yet tasted the taste of being listed in the six major gangs of the rivers and lakes and competing for the qualification of the general leader.
Tian Anbang stood firmly, and was about to make a gesture to scare Li Xuan, but when he heard the sound of clothes behind him, he hurriedly looked back, and saw that it was a short and shriveled old man with a sword to seal his throat Zhan Tong was standing behind him, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Old man Zhan, don't you know the rules?" Hey, are you going to break the rules?"
Zhan Tong sneered: "I naturally know this rule very well, but Hongshi Lao Dao didn't say that the two challengers would compete on the stage first. After finishing speaking, his right hand suddenly soared, grabbed the fat on the back of Tian Anbang's neck, and said to himself: "You dare to challenge on stage with your three-legged cat's skills?"
Tian Anbang was grabbed by him by the back of the neck, his feet were off the ground, and he struggled a few times before he found that his strength was gradually disappearing, and said with a wry smile: "What Old Man Zhan said is, how can our family be qualified to challenge on stage." Oops, it hurts me, old man, old man, you let go, oops, it hurts!"
Everyone on and off the stage couldn't help but laugh when they saw that he, as the head of a sect, did not hide his soft bones, and even moaned and begged for mercy in public.
Seeing this, Zhan Tong squeezed out a smile on his gloomy face, and said slowly: "Do you really want me to let go?" Tian Anbang was taken on the back of his neck, unable to nod, and could only keep shouting in his mouth: "Seriously, seriously" The words did not fall, only to see Zhan Tong's arm shake, and Tian Anbang, who was more than 200 catties, suddenly flew out of more than 30 zhang with a whoosh, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Li Xuan saw that Zhan Tong's arm did not move, so he had already thrown Tian Anbang, who was more than 200 catties, more than 30 zhang away, knowing that the opponent's internal strength was strong, he stepped forward and hugged his fist and said: "Seniors have good internal strength!"
Zhan Tong nodded slightly, glanced at the surprised group of heroes in the audience, ignored Li Xuan again, turned to Hongshi Lao Dao and said slowly: "This is just the beginning of the good show, how can you let Tian Anbang's wine bag and rice bag be stirred up tastelessly, so let's make a suggestion, if you don't have a few real skills at hand, don't occupy the nine challenge places." After finishing speaking, he said coldly to the Ding brothers, Mengjunzi, and Zhengjunzi who had helped Qin like me before: "Wang Shichong is too stingy, so he sent a few of you who are not successful?"
Ding Cangqiong's heart is calm and ruthless, listening to Zhan Tong's outrageous words, he only snorted and did not answer, and Ding Gankun, who was dressed in black, had a hot temper, he saw Li Xuan sitting on the stage earlier, because he knew that he was invincible, he was not only afraid, but also slightly restrained his arrogant and tyrannical temperament, at this time, listening to Zhan Tong say this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Since Hongshi Lao Dao does not stipulate that challengers cannot duel first, then let's try it first." Hey, old boy Zhantong, do you dare?"
Zhan Tong said proudly: "Okay! This is very good! I will also try to see if the ability of the former vitality character seat is as bad as the rumors in the rivers and lakes." ”
Ding Gankun was furious when he heard this, his palms were wrong, and he was about to jump onto the stage, but was stopped by Ding Cangqiong. Ding Cangqiong said lightly: "Don't fall for his tricks." Ding Gankun stiffened his neck and said, "Tricks, what tricks will this thief make in front of everyone?" As he spoke, he pushed Ding Cangqiong away and was about to go on stage, but he heard a middle-aged man in a beige robe with a kind face behind him say slowly: "Master Ding, don't be impulsive, when the old thief Zhan defeats Li Xuan, it's not too late for you to challenge again." ”
The middle-aged man in the beige robe finished speaking, and whispered to the Ding brothers, the Meng gentleman, and the righteous gentleman: "This Zhan old thief makes it a technique to encircle the point and help!" The rest of the people heard this, and said strangely: "What is the encirclement point to help?" The beige robe middle-aged man said: "Zhan Tong came to the stage first to occupy the challenge position, but he was not in a hurry to start with the young man, this is the technique of encirclement, and he constantly threatened everyone in the audience. The means of provocation is to take advantage of the loophole of Hongshi's old way to formulate rules, and want to use the method of dueling with the challenger first to destroy the person who wants to come to the stage to challenge first. If my judgment is correct, as long as someone dares to come to the stage to fight him, someone will come to the stage to clear the obstacles for him, and this is the method of encircling the point to help. ”
When Ding Gankun heard this, his face was full of disbelief, and he sneered: "Even if someone clears the obstacles for him, he may not be able to fight Li Xuan's boy." ”
The middle-aged man in the beige robe smiled and said: "Is Li Xuan as powerful as you say? Hehe, in addition to competing with internal strength and moves, it is also necessary to fight for experience! Zhan Tong has been famous for a long time, and he has retired for many years, and his martial arts have long been unfathomable. And young people are young people after all, even if they practice internal strength in their mother's womb, how profound is it! Who wins and who loses, it's hard to say!"
Ding Gankun sneered and said, "Didn't Your Excellency also be a hairy boy in your early years! Now that you have climbed on our heads, you have to start pretending to be old and selling experience?"
The beige robe's face changed when he heard this, and he said slowly: "My surname Mo can be appreciated by Lord Wang, not by pretending to be old and selling experience. Ding Cangqiong saw that the two of them were stiffening more and more, and said in a low voice: "Have you forgotten that before leaving, Lord Wang asked us to speak together?"
Before Zeng Qi's words fell, he saw a man holding a stick with Qi Mei also jumped on the stage, and shouted at Zeng Qi: "Even if you are lame, you are also qualified to do things with Zhan seniors?" As he spoke, he brushed three times, and the knife was like electricity, and it cracked at the neck of the man with eyebrows. Qi Mei stick man's martial arts are not weak, and when he saw that the other party was in a hurry, he laughed and said, "It's a good time." He didn't dodge or dodge, he took the initiative and swept the stick to Zeng Qi's wrist holding the knife.
The stick is long and the knife is short, even if the knife speed is fast, it will not take half a cent in a short time.
The lightning knife Zeng Qi was hit in the right shoulder by a stick of Qi Mei stick, kicked back a few steps, and did not react, only to hear a bang, and was picked in the ribs by the Qi Mei stick that followed, spurting blood from the mouth, and falling down the stage. Later, although some people came to the stage to challenge, they were either picked off by the eyebrow stick man, or defeated by the people sent by the people under the black veil under the stage. When everyone saw the man with the black veil and Zhan Tong's side, not only was they powerful, but they were not weak in martial arts, so they didn't dare to rush forward again, and they all waited to see the battle between Li Xuan and Zhan Tong.
The middle-aged man in the beige robe couldn't help but wonder when he saw the fight on the stage: "Why does this method of encircling and fighting for help seem to imply the meaning of protecting this young man? Is it strange that Zhan Tong came to power to prevent people from hurting Li Xuan?"
Ding Gankun sneered when he heard this: "You decided to encircle the point to send reinforcements for a while, but then you denied the encirclement point for reinforcements. In my opinion, don't bother to think about it, let's go up together to beat the people on the stage to see who dares to compete for the qualification of the general leader of the rivers and lakes. The middle-aged man in the beige robe shook his head and said in a low voice: "You must not be brutal." Although it is good for the rivers and lakes to carry the handle, it is not what Lord Wang Shichong wants. Hey, the purpose of our trip is not only to kill the Shaolin lay disciples and related gangs, but also to control the situation in the rivers and lakes and prepare for the uprising of Lord Wang Shichong. ”
Zhan Tong stood on the stage, and when he saw that Ding Gankun was stopped, and the people who came to the stage behind him were defeated, he laughed proudly: "Hey, old boy surnamed Ding, since you have discussed how to make a turtle with a shrunken head, then our family is welcome." After finishing speaking, he turned around and said proudly to Li Xuan: "Young man, if you are interested, you will give way, on the contrary, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
Li Xuan was not shocked or impatient, and said in a deep voice: "If you come, you will be safe." Please give me a move. ”
Among them, except for the Ding brothers, Qi Mengzheng and others who had fought with Li Xuan, who knew that his martial arts were extremely high, the rest of the people couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw Li Xuan's calm and introverted and dignified nature. When the two of them showed their brilliant moves, the air on and off the stage was as thick and oppressive as if it had been stirred into pine grease, and people couldn't help but get nervous. This is a feeling that everyone has never felt before watching the competition on the stage.
Hongshi Lao Dao stood in the corner of the stage, watching from a distance the battle between Li Xuan and Zhan Tong was about to break out, although the thin face had a gentle smile, there was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth. He squinted at the arrogant and empty-eyed envoy of the Flying Camel Gang, and saw that his gaze did not fall on Li Xuan and Zhan Tong, but stared closely at the black-clothed masked man in the audience, with a blade-like light in his eyes.
Li Xuan stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, like a stroll after tea and watching the scenery leisurely, while Zhan Tong put his hands in his sleeves, his body was like a nail, not shaking, like a tiger choosing food, and the edge gradually appeared. Seeing that the two of them were about to make a move, the person covered in black veils under the stage suddenly made a strange gesture to Zhan Tong. Zhan Tong was slightly stunned when he saw it, turned around and jumped off the stone platform and whispered a few words to him, and then sighed to Hongshi Laodao: "The old man hasn't made a move yet, and there is no difference between victory and defeat, hehe, this old man is always the boss of the rivers and lakes and doesn't want to fight, if you like it, please continue." Hahaha, the twelve serial money bank has taken its leave. ”
Everyone held their breath, thinking that the battle between Zhan and Li would be thrilling, but at this time, seeing Zhan Tong suddenly announce that he would not compete, the tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, like a singer who lost the score, not only stunned, but even a little angry. Everyone laughed and said: "Zhan seniors are scared haha" "Zhan seniors are not afraid, but suddenly received a message from the Dragon King of the East China Sea, asking him to be a turtle with a shrunken head" "This benevolent brother is wrong, Zhan seniors are a good old man who loves his family, and he hurriedly left to go home to take care of the little daughter-in-law he just married. ”
Li Xuan was very surprised when he saw Zhan Tong say to leave, and he didn't know how to retreat for a while, but he saw the envoy of the Flying Camel Gang standing up and said coldly: "The people of the Twelve Chains of Money Village, you are easy to come, but if you go, I'm afraid it will not be so easy!"
Zhan Tong was ridiculed by the cold wind of everyone, and he was already angry, and at this time, when he heard the flying camel messenger say this, he shouted: "Lao Tzu can leave if you want to, what else can you do?" Zhan Tong turned his head and said, "Boss, I must have let out this evil breath now." The man with the black veil nodded and said in a low voice: "I know that when we went to destroy the Golden Dragon Gang a few days ago, this guy came out to make trouble and provoked you. However, the situation will inevitably get out of control, and we must focus on the overall situation, don't get entangled with it, and make a quick decision. Zhan Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I know." If I don't take this guy's life within 30 moves, I will walk on the rivers and lakes for 50 years in vain. After finishing speaking, he pulled out a dazzling long sword from his waist with a brush, turned around and jumped onto the stone platform, a pair of wide sleeves swayed without wind, sneered a few times, pointed at Chu Duanmeng and shouted: "You kid don't want to take advantage of your tongue, don't do it quickly!"
Seeing that the martial arts competition had taken a steep turn, and it was not carried out in his preset rules at all, Hongshi Lao Dao was so angry that his face turned yellow, and he said coldly to Zhan Tong: "Senior Zhan, is this going to break the rules of the conference?" Zhan Tong glanced at Hongshi Lao Dao, and said in a vicious voice: "The rules of the conference? When Hongshi Lao Dao heard this, his face changed drastically, and with a wave of his hand, more than 20 Xuanyi Taoist priests immediately raised their swords to surround Zhan Tong and Chu Duanmeng. Hongshi Lao Dao said slowly: "The heroes of the rivers and lakes are watching, do you dare to make trouble?" Zhan Tong reprimanded: "We want to make trouble?" Hongshi Lao Dao, you touch your Dao crown and ask, who is greedy for wealth and wealth, and uses all the tricks to cut off the bloodline of the rivers and lakes?"
Listening to the two answers, everyone couldn't help but whisper.
When Hongshi Lao Dao heard this, his thin cheeks twitched a few times, and he said with a sneer: "But don't spew blood, Poor Dao wants to find a way out for the heroes who go to the meeting, can't you see it?" Zhan Tong was about to ridicule, but he heard the man covered with black veils under the stage shouting: "You still have to talk to him, hurry up and break it off early!"
Everyone in the audience saw that Zhan Tong was going to fight with Chu Xuanmeng, and their hearts of schadenfreude rose, and they all stretched their necks and waited for a good show to start, and now they heard the man with a black veil and a loud voice, his voice was sharp and implied a soft voice, and they all said secretly: "It turns out that the chief manager of the Twelve Serial Money Village is a woman." It's strange! She didn't let Zhan Tong be verbose, and let him break quickly, why would they be so anxious?"
Zhan Tong was startled when he heard the black-veiled woman in the mask break off, raised his eyes and looked at the dense pine forests around Lingfeng Cliff and said: "Hongshi Old Dao, you finally can't help but show your fox tail? Can you stop the old man with a few broken swords?"
Chu Duan dreamed that Zhan Tong would do it when he said it, sneered, shook his hands, showed two steel knives like a string moon, and greeted him. Unbeknownst to him, he only moved half a step, and when he saw that Zhan Tong's body had changed, he suddenly turned to attack Hongshi Lao Dao.
Hongshi Lao Dao was watching the battle intently, he never thought that Zhan Tong would attack him, and he stirred his sleeves in his busy schedule, trying to wrap Zhan Tong's long sword, but Zhan Tong's speed was too fast, and he couldn't allow him to make moves at all, only to hear a loud sound, Hongshi Lao Dao's sleeves had been cut in half. Fortunately, he has deep internal strength and timely response, otherwise he will have his hands cut off.
After Zhan Tong gained power, he didn't stop, the long sword in his hand was as brilliant as fireworks in the dark night, and the sonorous sound was endless. Seeing this, Hongshi Lao Dao said with a cruel smile: "It seems that we are going to make a break today." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to the sky and let out a long roar, raised his hand and pulled out the green steel long sword on his waist, and rushed towards Zhan Tong. For a while, the fighting sound on the stone platform started, and the people shouted chaotically, like wolves meeting lions and tigers.
Chu Duan dreamed that Zhan Tong's flying rainstorm sword technique was worthy of its name, although he was surprised, he didn't understand why he gave up himself and attacked Hongshi Lao Dao, but just when he was slightly stunned, when Zhan Tong attacked Hongshi Lao Dao, he suddenly heard his own helpers in the audience shouting: "Brother Chu, you come down quickly." Damn, these stinky Taoist priests dare to come and attack us!"
