There are many people in this world whose temperament is not what their name suggests.

For example, Shangguan Ren when he was young is definitely not worthy of his name.

Perhaps, when his father Shangguan Huan decided to give his son this name, he wanted him to be a tolerant and benevolent person. Unfortunately, he wasn't.

He has a short temper and beats his wife at every turn. Sometimes it was so excessive that even Shangguan Huan and his wife couldn't see it, so they would go forward to protect their daughter-in-law, and persuade him to change his temper. But he never sold his father's face at all, and the atrocities continued.

Since Shangguanxiong can remember, he has often seen his mother disobey his father's wishes because of some trivial things, and her nose and face are swollen from being beaten at every turn. At first, his mother often cried in no one's place, but later, after being beaten into a commonplace, she gradually became numb and accustomed to it, and finally she was too lazy to cry bitterly anymore, but dared to resist from time to time. Of course, this will certainly be met with more ferocious pain.

Shangguan Xiong had long been tired of his father's behavior, and finally one day when he was seven years old, when his father beat his mother again, he ran forward and dragged his father desperately.

Shangguan Ren was furious and slapped him to the ground. Shangguan Xiong didn't cry, he got up and his father hard. Naturally, how could a child be the opponent of a strong adult? Shangguan Xiong was beaten all over his body, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he pestered his father to tear and beat him and refused to stop.

Shangguan Ren saw that he was going to be beaten to death by himself, so he finally stopped with hatred and scolded: "You are not Lao Tzu's son! Get out of Lao Tzu!"

Shangguan Xiong got up, picked up his mother without saying a word, and left, but his mother was unwilling to leave the house, so she had to give up. But he ignored his mother's sorrowful persuasion and left home alone. It wasn't until two months later that his father found him wandering in Luocheng, two hundred miles away.

When Shangguan Ren saw his son with a yellow face and thin muscles and ragged clothes, he was as alive as a child named Huazi, his heart hurt and pity, hugged him and cried, and asked him to go home with him quickly, but he refused to go back. After repeated begging, he finally agreed to his mother's request not to beat him and him again in the future, and swore three high-fives before taking his son back home.

Sure enough, since then, Shangguan Renzhen has changed his temper and no longer beats and scolds his wife and son.

In fact, it is no wonder that Shangguan Ren has such a big temper, and he is also very difficult. If nothing else, it's hard enough for three generations of a family to be crammed into a thatched hut with only four bamboo walls.

Among the three brothers, Shangguan Ren is the second. His eldest brother was a somewhat sluggish fisherman, who could not do anything but fish, and had never been able to find a daughter-in-law in his life, but fortunately he stayed on the boat day and night, and did not have to occupy the room at home; his younger brother was a man with a disabled leg, who could only move a wooden stool all day long, and did some light housework at home, and naturally failed to get a daughter-in-law; and his father and mother were both old and sick, and needed to take medicine all year round, which cost a lot of money.

As a result, most of the burdens of the life of a large family were pressed on him. In addition to fishing, he also has to farm the land, and when the farm is not working, he also has to do some business such as selling grain, so as to earn some money to support the family's expenses.

In addition to taking care of her in-laws, his wife also has to do housework and help her husband grow crops. Fortunately, when her son was a little older, he gradually understood the hardships of his parents and began to help his mother with her work, which made her easier.

On Shangguanxiong's ninth birthday, his father called him into his room alone and took out a locked black wooden box from the broken cabinet. Shangguan Xiong was overjoyed, thinking that there must be some treasure hidden in this box that he had pried many times and failed to pry open. So he stared at the wooden box with an itchy heart, and saw that his father carefully opened it with the key, solemnly took out two things, and said: "Xiong'er, these two things are the heirlooms of my Shangguan family!"

Shangguan Xiong was overjoyed and took it impatiently, and when he saw it, he was greatly disappointed, it turned out to be just a white silk with words written and two thin books with brown paper covers.

"Daddy, what is this?" Shangguan Xiong asked in surprise although he was disappointed, hoping that the answer was something good that he couldn't see.

"Didn't I tell you? this is our family heirloom!"

"Heirloom, Daddy, these two broken things, they can't eat or drink, and they are not gold, silver and jewelry, how can they be family heirlooms?"

"Hehe, Xiong'er, don't underestimate these two treasures! Now, you have grown up and are sensible, and your father can tell you this secret...... Do you know that our Shangguan family relied on these two things to dominate Chuxiang for more than 200 years! Later, although it slowly declined, the real decline of our family was only more than 80 years ago. ”

"This thing is so powerful?!" Shangguan Xiong opened his eyes in surprise, carefully looked at the so-called treasure in his hand, and saw that there were twelve big characters and two lines of small characters written on the silk, and there was a stamp, while the two books were painted with a lot of human figures splitting palms and kicking legs, and there were dense small characters written on the bottom, shaking his head like a rattle in disbelief, "Daddy, you know that I don't know how to read, what is written on it?...... These two books are not some kind of martial arts cheats, right?"

"This ......" Shangguan Ren was embarrassed, shook his head and said: "Actually, Daddy doesn't know how to read, so he can't tell you...... However, I guess that these two books are our Shangguan family's martial arts secret book "Iron Palm Divine Skill". ”

"Well, there are four words on the cover, it should be!" Shangguan Xiong nodded, thought about it, and proposed: "Let's go to Wu Xuexue in the village and ask, wouldn't it be clearer?"

"Don't!" Shangguan Ren resolutely stopped, "The seniors have told you a thousand times, and you must not show this thing to outsiders!"

After saying that, he snatched the treasure in his hand and locked it in a wooden box.

Although Shangguan Xiong felt that his father was making a fuss, he still gave up his mind and made up his mind that he would go to the window of Wu Xuexue's private school in the future to secretly listen to the lectures, believing that after a year and a half, he would be able to recognize the words on it.

However, what he didn't expect was that Tianshui Zhenren did not give him this opportunity to learn literacy, and soon brought him back to Wudang, and ordered someone to teach him to read for two years, and passed on his martial arts.

Seeing that he looked indifferent, he regretted that he should not have told him this secret when he was a child, so he reluctantly admonished: "Remember it for me: You must not tell anyone! Do you know that in your great-grandfather's generation, our Shangguan family got into great trouble and caused a catastrophe! Not only was all the hundreds of millions of family property confiscated, but the clan was almost wiped out! A family of more than 100 people only escaped three ...... by luck?"

"It turns out that there used to be so many people in our family!" Shangguan Xiong was surprised and asked in disbelief: "Daddy, how can we live so many people in such a small house?"

"Silly boy! Our ancestors didn't live in this dilapidated house before! but in a huge and magnificent mountain village that you can't even imagine! It's a pity that it was ......confiscated," Shangguan Ren shook his head.

After a moment of sadness, he pointed to the wooden box and continued: "Fortunately, under the protection of the bloody sacrifice of the He, these two treasures have not been lost...... Xiong'er, you must keep this secret, and you must not tell anyone! Otherwise, if those bad people in the rivers and lakes find out, they will come to kill our family and snatch this treasure away!"

"Why are these people in the rivers and lakes so bad!" Shangguan Xiong was very frightened in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "Daddy, I want to practice the martial arts in that book and kill all these bad people in the rivers and lakes!"

"Hey, Daddy doesn't know how to read, and he doesn't know the martial arts in the book, how can he teach you?"

"I teach myself!" Shangguan Xiong said confidently: "Daddy, believe me, I will definitely be able to learn!"

Twenty-two years ago, Shangguan Xiong fled from Wudang in grief and despair, and after wandering for several months, he was found and restrained by Ebony, and then released him. It was at that time that he made a great wish in this life: to destroy Wudang! and kill Lingmu and Ebony with his own hands!

He remembered the secret of the wooden box, returned to his home after many years of absence, and found that his grandfather, grandmother, mother, and uncle had passed away, and the family was still poor, leaving only his lonely father and his uncle, who was getting older and more demented.

He took the keys from his father and took out the two heirlooms he had seen.

"Heroes start from the end of the day, and they will come from the cold. Shangguan Lan question. The ninth day of the eighth month of the year of Ding Wei. Shangguan Xiong stared at the strong handwriting on the silk silk, and admired this ancestor who was just a hawker selling sugar and chestnuts when he was a teenager, but at the age of thirty-four, he founded the Iron Palm Gang of the mighty rivers and lakes, and cultivated both literature and martial arts.

It is under the encouragement of this paragraph that he has today's achievements.

He read the preface of the upper part of "Iron Palm Divine Skill", and knew that this ancestor often used his hands to insert his hands into the hot iron pot to copy chestnuts, and finally at the age of twenty-nine, he practiced the Iron Palm Divine Skill, which was recognized as the first fierce in the martial arts at that time, and crisscrossed the rivers and lakes for more than 40 years, rarely meeting opponents.

What excites him the most is that it turns out that this "Iron Palm Divine Skill" not only has a fierce side, but also a feminine and delicate side, which is actually a rare combination of rigidity and softness in martial arts.

The upper part of the palm is more vigorous and swift, such as the imagination and the dragon appears, and the lower part of the palm is more round and soft, such as the wind and drizzle, flowing water and clouds. This lower part of the palm is Shangguan Lan in his later years after the enlightenment and creation, he will be the upper and lower palms of the two needs for use, martial arts has reached the realm of supernatural and freewheeling, and finally made the iron palm magic won the reputation of "the first palm of martial arts".

Shangguan Xiong has very high martial arts, strong understanding, and has a solid Wudang Xuanmen internal skills as a foundation, and within a few years he has practiced the "Iron Palm Divine Skill", and has mastered it, and its exquisite fantasy is especially above the predecessors of the past dynasties.

However, in the previous ten years of battles in the rivers and lakes, no one could make him have to use this stunt to defeat the enemy. Therefore, although there are a few people in the rivers and lakes who speculate, no one can be sure that he has practiced this family heirloom skill.

Only once, when he secretly competed with Yu Huantie in swordsmanship, although he tried his best, he couldn't win, and when he was competitive, he used it and defeated the opponent in a few moves. Yu Huantie, who has always been arrogant, was also greatly impressed and praised his martial arts as invincible in the world.

At that time, Shangguan Xiong was verbally modest, saying that he was definitely inferior to Shaolin Empty and Empty, Wudang Ebony, Wutai Zhitong Master, Quanzhen Jinzang Daoist, Huashan Sansheng Daoist, Hengshan Qingxia Shitai and other top masters. Yu Huantie said that these celebrities in the martial arts are only famous by being in charge of famous schools and being touted by the people of the rivers and lakes, but in terms of martial arts, it is an exaggeration.

Shangguan Xiong was silent after hearing this. In fact, he was also very unconvinced in his heart, thinking that with his current cultivation, even if he couldn't defeat the three of Kongwu, Kongjing, and Ebony, it would not be so easy for these three people to defeat him. As for the rest, naturally none of them are his opponents.

※※※

In the exclamation of everyone, Shang Xiaotian's flying sword had reached the first three inches of Shangguan Xiong's lower abdomen, and he was about to enter through his abdomen, but he saw Shangguan Xiong suddenly stop in mid-air, his palms stretched out unhurriedly like butterflies wearing flowers, his left palm pressed on the spine of the sword like lightning, and his right palm reversed at the tip of the sword, and the sword suddenly turned around like a trick, and a white light of "Xiao" shot straight down Shang Xiaotian's throat. This move is one of the tricks in the lower part of "Iron Palm Divine Skill", which is called "Heaven and Earth Fall".

Shang Xiaotian could not have expected that the opponent would be able to resolve it with such a clever move, but seeing that the broken sword was a few inches in front of his throat in an instant, fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and leaned sideways to avoid it when Qianjun was firing a shot. The broken sword grazed the skin of his throat and shot through, "grabbing" and piercing the shoulder of a member of the Yueyanglou gang who was unable to react, until it reached the handle. The man screamed, clutching his shoulders and fainting.

Shang Xiaotian had just dodged the broken sword, and was in shock, when he suddenly felt a painful pain in his left arm, and with a "click", his arm bone had been broken, and he stumbled two steps before he could stand firm. Shangguan Xiong was like a figure, and the black gas in his right palm was steaming, and it slapped down on his chest like thunder.

Seeing that he was about to slap him in the chest, Shangguan Xiong suddenly felt that his palm was cold, and he hurriedly turned his palm into a claw, and copied the blade of a dagger that shone with cold light in his hand. Shang Xiaotian shouted, and jerked the dagger, Shangguan Xiong felt that the dagger was extremely sharp, and he could no longer hold the blade, and at the same time felt that his palm was tingling, and it was already full of blood.

Shang Xiaotian pounced on him like a rabbit, and a cold light pierced Shangguan Xiong's chest.

When Shangguan Xiong was able to pierce his bra with the dagger, he grabbed his wrist with his bloody left hand, and slashed his right arm with his right palm like a knife. This move is one of the tricks in the upper part of "Iron Palm Divine Skill", called "Qiankun Slash", back then, Shangguan Lan used this trick to defeat many martial arts masters.

Shang Xiaotian really couldn't resist it, with a "click", his right arm bone was cut off again, and with a muffled snort, the dagger fell to the ground with a "dang" sound.

"Come on!" Shangguan Xiong looked crazy, his left paw still firmly grasped his right wrist, and circled his right wrist like a spiritual snake to twist his right arm, this twist is called "twist twist", Shang Xiaotian's right arm was immediately twisted shoulder-to-shoulder. Almost at the same time, Shangguan Xiong kicked the dagger with one toe, copied it in his hand, and plunged it into Shang Xiaotian's chest with a "poof".

Shang Xiaotian let out a frightened scream, his hand caressed the handle of the dagger, and looked at Shangguan Xiong in surprise and despair, blood surging from his mouth, and slowly fell to his knees.

From Shang Xiaotian throwing the broken sword to being stabbed in the chest, the whole process was like a rabbit falling and changing in an instant, leaving everyone stunned. By the time Yao and Dou reacted and wanted to fly forward to rescue them, Shang Xiaotian had already been assassinated.

Xie Feiyan, Qu Feng, and Su Fangzhong reacted one after another, and rushed over with Yao and Dou Erlao.

The Yueyanglou gang was shocked and angry, and rushed over to this side with a sad hiss. Chu Xiangmeng helped the crowd to intercept it, and the two sides immediately became a scuffle.

Yao and Dou Erlao were busy supporting Shang Xiaotian left and right, seeing that he was not yet out of breath, they hurriedly sealed several key points around his chest, and lowered their heads to look, but saw that his face was blood-red, his eyes bulged out, and he almost wanted to drop blood, staring fiercely at Shangguan Xiong, who was calm and calm, and was slowly retreating, and said almost word by word: "Don't ...... Ebony ...... Brother...... Definitely...... Kill ...... You...... The "

"Really?" Shangguan Xiong handed his injured left hand to a subordinate and motioned for him to bind his wounds, while squinting at the dying Shang Xiaotian, and said in a good time: "When the matter here is over, I just have to go to him! Unfortunately, even if he can really kill me, you won't be able to see it!"

"You ......" Shang Xiaotian sprayed his chest in excitement, his eyes rolled and he gasped with difficulty.

"Brother Shang!" Xie Feiyan knelt down in front of him with his hair scattered, his hands trembling in panic and confusion, trying to pull out the dagger on his chest.

"Can't pull it out!" Yao Yuan hurriedly stopped.

Xie Feiyan stopped at a loss, gently held his cheek with tears on her face, and cried bitterly and chanted repeatedly: "You won't die! Brother Shang! Brother Shang! You have to hold on! You won't die! Brother Shang......

Shang Xiaotian stared at her in a daze, and smiled bitterly: "I...... Is...... He's dead!...... You...... No...... Saddened...... Eldest brother...... I'm sorry...... You"

"No! no!" Xie Feiyan's hoarse howl was mixed with the earth-shattering sound of blades and shouts of killing.

"This ...... Years ...... Too...... Grievance...... You're ...... I...... Good...... Inside...... Guilt!" Shang Xiaotian wanted to gather the remaining strength to grab her hand, but he couldn't move a single penny, so he could only spit out this sentence with all his might.

He felt that he could no longer gather any energy, and Xie Feiyan in front of him gradually blurred, his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar filled with thousands of years of ice, and it seemed that he was falling into the unfathomable abyss, and he muttered almost inaudiblely: "Yes...... No...... from"

After that, the corners of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, and he hung his head limply.

"No!" Xie Feiyan shook him desperately a few times, seeing that he didn't react at all, he probed his snort, and hissed a few more times: "No......!

There were no tears in her eyes, and she looked at the other party who was already separated by yin and yang, and suddenly gritted her teeth, pulled out the dagger violently, and plunged it into her chest with her backhand.

Yao Yuan saw that her expression was different, and he was on guard against her abnormal movements. But she was resolute, fast, and the dagger was so sharp that by the time he grabbed her wrist, it was already deep in her chest.

She hung her head and spasmed a few times, and fell softly on Shang Xiaotian's body, who was lying on his back.

"Sixth sister!" Su Fangzhong and the four hall masters behind him shouted in shock, rushed forward, and saw that she was already exhausted. Then he violently shook Shang Xiaotian's body, and shouted in a sad voice: "Landlord!

Shangguan Xiong saw that his gang had already controlled the situation, and killed and injured the Yueyanglou gang from time to time, stopping Tian Kunpeng and Teng Haiming, who wanted to come forward to attack. He stood quietly with his hands in his hands, the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of mockery, and with a compassionate gaze like looking at a caged bird, he looked at Yao Yuan and several other Yueyang Tower backbones in the field.

"The owner of the merchant building is dead!" Yao Yuan came back to his senses and said sharply: "Sons, now is not the time to cry sadly! Cheer up! Kill Shangguan Xiong and avenge the landlord!"

As he spoke, he pounced on Shangguan Xiong like a tiger.

Although he knew in his heart that he was not the opponent of the other party, he still pounced without hesitation.

It's a pity that he forgot Shang Xiaotian's entrustment and is leading the Yueyang Tower gang to the road of death.
