Chapter 29: The Gatekeeper

The five black-clothed men walked quickly towards Duan Chengzhen and the three of them, the five black-clothed men held a long knife in their right hands, and they didn't hold anything in their left hands, either punching or clawing or slapping or finger pokes, in short, there were all kinds of shapes, and they attacked Duan Chengzhen, Zhao Yongchuan and Luo Zechao, and the movements were fast, steady and accurate, while Duan Chengzhen, Zhao Yongchuan and Luo Zechao were drunk again, and their actions and reactions were inevitably slow, and their moves were not stable and accurate enough.

Soon Duan Chengzhen and the others were all beaten by the five black-clothed people who didn't know their identities, and they retreated again and again, only to block the retreat.

It's just that between a dozen moves, Zhao Yongchuan and Luo Zechao were lying on the ground, unable to move, stiff, and only the sound of heavy breathing could prove that Zhao Yongchuan and Luo Zechao were still alive. It turned out that Zhao Yongchuan and Luo Zechao were not strong in martial arts, and they were covered by two black-clothed people, and quickly stretched out their hands and pointed at the important acupoints in various parts of their bodies, and suddenly the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.

After Zhao Yongchuan and Luo Zechao were knocked to the ground by the black-clothed people who suddenly appeared, Duan Chengzhen's combat power was instantly greatly reduced, making him feel a great increase in pressure, and it was difficult to deal with the attacks of the black-clothed people.

When Duan Chengzhen was distracted by this, a man in black slashed at his head with a big knife shining with cold light in his hand, Duan Chengzhen hurriedly lifted the saber and sealed it on it, "Bang Dong" sounded, both of them took a few steps back, Duan Chengzhen felt a surge of blood in his chest and abdomen, a numb pain in his hand, and he almost couldn't even hold the saber and fell to the ground. Suddenly, Duan Chengzhen heard a "snort" behind him, and a wind stabbed at him, Duan Chengzhen quickly turned his head, and on the way, he didn't forget to slash his sword back diagonally behind him. If the black clothes behind him don't retreat and dodge, if he wants this blow to come true in the middle, he will have a very high chance that he will be sent to the underworld to see King Yama by Duan Chengzhen's sword. Duan Chengzhen's sword slashed backwards, it seems to be commonplace, but in fact, it is very particular about adaptability, speed, strength and crosshair, if ordinary people encounter Duan Chengzhen's situation at this time, they are afraid that they will not have time to turn back half of their body, and the sword will be killed by the man in black before they can cut it down.

When Duan Chengzhen's move came out, the reason why it was so powerful was because he didn't know how many times he had practiced it. Duan Chengzhen's life-saving move is the secret of the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau, it has a good name, it is for the "return wind dancing willow sword", it is generally used when the opponent sneaks from behind, and its gist is to attack the enemy must be saved, in order to make up for their own gaps, to exchange life for life, it is a real lose-lose way of playing.

The other party saw Duan Chengzhen's majestic sword slash and such a deadly fighting style, knowing that Duan Chengzhen wanted to have a defeat with him, and the black-clothed man who sneaked up on him thought that he was a valuable ceramic and was not worth touching Duan Chengzhen's useless piece of wood, so he had to immediately give up the attack method of finger poking, and with a force under his feet, his body slanted and swung, but the whole person floated to the side like a piece of shredded paper, which could be regarded as avoiding a lose-lose fight.

In this way, Duan Chengzhen regained the lost advantage from the hands of this black-clothed man.

But one wave has not settled, and one wave has risen again.

As soon as Duan Chengzhen stood still, he heard a sound of breaking the air from behind him who didn't know whether it was a fist or a palm, as if he had already come to a few inches behind his back and was about to touch his body.

Duan Chengzhen's sword move with his right hand was not used yet, and his strength didn't have time to retract it for a while, and he wanted to repeat the old move, and he used the "Returning Wind Dancing Willow Sword" again, but it was impossible to redeem the lost advantage.

Duan Chengzhen was really alert, seeing that the right hand holding the sword couldn't be saved, he stretched out his left hand and turned around the back, but he drew a circle, and his body turned back with it, and then pulled out the punch from the man in black.

Duan Chengzhen had just blocked the punch of the man in black, and he could only hear the wind whistling before and after, but two more people attacked him back and forth, Duan Chengzhen had no choice but to use what he had learned in his life to deal with these two men in black.

Duan Chengzhen soon discovered that the other party's two black-clothed men teamed up to fight with him, obviously gaining the upper hand, and it could even be said that as long as these two black-clothed men were willing, they would be able to take their lives within dozens of moves.

But these two people in black don't know what's going on, obviously they have forced Duan Chengzhen to a desperate position several times, and there is no way to avoid it, as long as they viciously slash out a few swords or quickly perform a few fists and feet, they can beat themselves to the ground again, but to Duan Chengzhen's surprise, these two men in black will release water at such an important juncture every time, and suddenly stop or slow down the speed of their sword moves, so that they can avoid their combined attacks and live for a while.

It was for all these reasons that although Duan Chengzhen had been fighting with the man in black for so long, he didn't even have a single injury on his body.

Although Duan Chengzhen knew that there was a reason why the man in black dealt with him like this, no matter how deeply he looked and put himself in his shoes, he couldn't understand why the man in black did this.

It didn't take long for Duan Chengzhen to fight with the man in black for more than a dozen moves, and Duan Chengzhen still didn't add new scars to his body, but he already knew that he was like Sun Wukong in the hands of the Buddha, only let the other party play with it, and it was a matter of time before he lost. But since the man in black refused to stop, how could Duan Chengzhen himself be willing to stop and kill? For a while, Duan Chengzhen just wanted to support himself well, and he couldn't admit defeat no matter what.

After a few more breaths, Duan Chengzhen was besieged by two black-clothed people one after the other, he was distracted, holding a sword with his right foot and right hand to deal with a black-clothed man attacking behind him, and his left hand and left foot to deal with a black-clothed man attacking in front of him.

Under the release of the man in black and the serious fight with Duan Chengzhen, for a while, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched on the surface, and no one could bargain.

Suddenly, Duan Chengzhen heard the sound of breaking the air from his left hand, and the place where the sound came from seemed to be at least two or three zhang away from himself, but when Duan Chengzhen thought about how he should resist, a figure had already come to Duan Chengzhen's body, only to see a figure with empty hands, pointing fingers at various important acupuncture points between his chest and abdomen, and the tips of his fingers were only inches away from Duan Chengzhen's chest.

As soon as Duan Chengzhen's body moved, wanting to deal with the attack of this figure, he heard the sounds of "snort" and "poof" sound continuously, fast and loud, but in the blink of an eye, this figure poked Duan Chengzhen's chest several times, sealing several important acupoints on Duan Chengzhen's body, making him unable to move anymore.

The darkness before dawn is often the deepest and heaviest.

The current situation is the best proof of this.

Before dawn, it was dark. In front of the door of the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau stood a gatekeeper Yao Di'an, his appearance was not very clear in the dark, and he could only be seen that he was quite tall, with a wide waist and a broad back. At this time, suddenly a cold and powerful yin wind stretched out from the darkness and blew over, with a "whirring" sound, as if a ghost was exhaling, lifting the hem and hair tips of the gatekeeper Yao Di'an's clothes, making him feel a little chilly, and quickly tightened his clothes.

At this time, the gatekeeper Yao Di'an suddenly saw that there seemed to be a figure flashing in the small forest not far from the right of the Longmen Dart Bureau, but it disappeared in an instant, and everything returned to normal, he thought it was a hallucination caused by his dazzled and suspicious illness, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes a few times, and found that everything was as usual, so he didn't take it to heart.

As soon as Yao Di'an put his mind at ease, he saw a figure flash in the small forest just now, but it was the same as last time, and it disappeared in an instant.

The gatekeeper Yao Di'an stretched out his hand again, and after rubbing his eyes a few times, he found that everything around him was as usual.

This time, the gatekeeper Yao Di'an kept his heart, and he suspected that someone was haunting the depths of the forest, so he wanted to turn his head and go back into the Longmen Dart Bureau and tell Wu Dafu, who was keeping vigil with him in shifts, about such a suspicious situation.

Yao Di'an's body had just moved slightly, when he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from the woods, which attracted Yao Di'an's attention.

Yao Di'an wanted to go into the depths of the grove and take a closer look, but he was afraid that someone was ambushing inside, so he deliberately made a noise to attract himself into the grove and throw himself into the net.

After thinking about it for a while, Yao Di'an suddenly decided to tell Wu Dafu about these suspicious things first, and then the two of them would discuss how to deal with them.

This Wu Dafu and Yao Di'an are both night watchmen of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and the two of them work together, Wu Dafu keeps watch for the first half of the night, and Yao Di'an keeps watch for the second half of the night.

Wu Dafu has finished the first half of the night now, but he is napping and sleeping in a small cabin inside the gate of the Longmen Dart Bureau.

Yao Di'an just turned his head halfway, and suddenly there was a slight "whirring" sound on his right hand, the figure flashed, his heart froze, and when he reacted, it was already too late - Yao Di'an felt a cold dagger placed next to his neck, the tip of the knife had cut his own skin, he felt that blood had flowed out of the place where the tip of the knife had been cut, and it was wet and sticky on his body, and that feeling was quite uncomfortable, as long as the right hand of the person holding the knife was sent forward, Yao Di'an himself would surely return to heaven.

Yao Di'an suddenly came from the human world to the edge of hell, and layers of dense beads of sweat rose on his back, and his hands and feet stiffened with fright, but he stayed on the ground, and he didn't dare to move.

An eerie and terrifying voice sounded on Yao Di'an's right hand, and his words were: "If you don't want to die, don't move and don't scream." Otherwise, I will push you down to the underworld and talk to the king of Yama. Your name is Yao Di'an, right? You are the gatekeeper of the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau, right? I have no grudge against you, as long as you obediently do what I tell me, I will not take your life, and let you go home intact to reunite with your parents, wife, and children. Otherwise, I will not only kill you, but I will also go to your parents, wife, and children, and torture them to death one by one. ”

These words contain an extremely gloomy and vicious threat, and the voice of the words is gloomy but with a kind of imperial supreme majesty, which makes people have to obey.
