Master Duan Zhuang stood on the steps in front of the door with a long sword in his hand, and said loudly, "Light the lamp!"

Immediately, two men took out the fire and lit all the lanterns in the courtyard. The situation in the courtyard was clearly visible at once.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the courtyard, Lord Duan Zhuang said loudly, "Open the gate." ”

The two men who had lit the lamp immediately ran over and opened the door. Eight men stood on two sides, together raising their swords and pointing at the door, ready to meet the enemy. The remaining few men stood on either side of the Duan Zhuang Owner, holding swords to protect the Duan Zhuang Owner.

Strangely, when the door opened, there was no movement outside. Master Duan Zhuang walked out of the gate with his sword first, only to see a tall black shadow five or six zhang away from the gate, because of the darkness of the night, it was not real.

Lord Duan asked loudly, "Who is it?"

All I heard was my own echo drifting in the night sky.

The two men lit the torches and stepped forward to take a photo, only to see that the black shadow turned out to be a huge stone. Then a man shouted, "There are words on the stone." ”

Master Duan asked loudly, "What is written?"

The man replied, "It says 'death to those who cross the line'!"

Since there are words written on the stone, and it is still such a bullying word, then this stone must have been deliberately moved here, not that the rocks on the mountain naturally rolled down here.

Master Duan Zhuang took the sword and glanced around, but he didn't see the shadow of the enemy. After a while, he shouted, "What kind of friend is making such a joke with Duan? ”

Master Duan Zhuang shouted three times in a row, but he didn't hear anyone reply, and couldn't help but be furious: "Shameless rats, dare to come to the door to provoke but dare not show up to see him, so sneaky, what kind of hero is it?"

After the owner of Duan Zhuang scolded, there was still no movement. Duan Zhijun took a few steps forward, and just wanted to cross the big stone, Duan Yuntu grabbed him and said, "Bear with it for the time being, be careful of deception." ”

Duan Zhijun stopped when he heard Duan Yuntu's words. But Mo Xiong beside him couldn't bear it any longer, holding a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other, jumped onto the big stone, and said loudly: "I want to see if I cross this broken stone, how you dogs come to kill me." ”

As soon as Mo Xiong's words fell, he fell from the stone with a scream, writhed twice on the ground and stopped moving.

Duan Zhijun saw Mo Xiong fall to the ground, and rushed forward with a sudden. He bent down, and was about to reach out to help Mo Xiong, but Duan Yuntu pulled him away.

Duan Zhijun looked at Duan Yuntu inexplicably, and just wanted to ask Duan Yuntu why he didn't let himself touch Mo Xiong, Duan Yuntu waved his hand and motioned Duan Zhijun not to speak.

Then, Duan Yuntu took a torch from a big man and shone it on Mo Xiong's face, only to see that Mo Xiong's face turned black as if it had been coated with ink.

Duan Zhijun was shocked: "Mo Xiong has been poisoned!"

As soon as Duan Zhijun said this, everyone else was shocked and angry. The methods of the enemy are really despicable, and so far people have been poisoned and died without even seeing the face of the enemy. Everyone thought, could it be that this Zhuang man was trapped to death by this big stone like this?

First Ah Fei was killed for no reason, and then Mo Xiong was poisoned and died, and they didn't even know who their opponent was, as if they were imprisoned by an invisible hand and turned into lambs to the slaughter.

Everyone here is a seven-foot man, a bloody man, who can endure such a bird breath? Mo Xiong was poisoned just now, it must have been the enemy who smeared the poison on that big stone, so be careful, just don't touch this stone.

With this in mind, eight men crossed the big rock with long swords in hand, trying to find the enemy hiding in the shadows.

As soon as these people stepped over the big rock, they suddenly heard a "whooshing" sound in mid-air, and dozens of long arrows shot towards them. The long black arrows were hidden in the night, and by the time they found out, two of them had already fallen to the ground.

The rest of the people hurriedly swung their long swords, and while firing the arrows, they pulled the two people who were hit by the arrows back to the gate of the courtyard. Fortunately, these two people were not injured and did not worry about their lives.

Seeing that his disciples had suffered losses one after another, Master Duan Zhuang said: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, and we should not confront them." We'll be patient for a while, and we'll wait until tomorrow dawn to have a long time with these rats. ”

When everyone returned to the courtyard, they treated the injured first, and then arranged for people to guard the courtyard. The night was peaceful, presumably because the people outside were also very jealous of the people in the yard, and they didn't dare to rush in and fight openly.

Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, the owner of Duan Zhuang gathered the people in the courtyard and came to the gate again. The big rock outside the courtyard still stood there.

Master Duan Zhuang stood in front of the stone and said loudly: "Shameless rats, Duan is here, some of them will come out and have a happy battle with me, and if they don't have a seed, hurry up and roll back with their tails between their legs." ”

As soon as Master Duan's words fell, dozens of flying arrows shot at him. But this time, Master Duan Zhuang was prepared, where did these arrows hit him. I saw that the long sword in the hand of Master Duan Zhuang blocked the left and right squares, and all the long arrows shot fell to the ground.

At this time, four more men rushed forward with long swords. The owner of Duan Zhuang freed his hand, turned around and took a hard bow from a man's hand, bent the bow and set the arrow, only to hear a "whoosh", and three long arrows flew into the grass in front of him.

Immediately after, I heard a few screams of "ah", and three men in black rolled down from the grass. As a result, the opposite side immediately stopped firing arrows. Twenty or thirty black-clothed men stood up from the grass, each with a steel fork in their hands, and rushed down. At last another man jumped out of the grass like a leopard, and flew to the big rock.

The man was dressed in white, with a rough appearance, and looked at everyone, laughing and said, "This early in the morning, you can't wait to come and die?"

Master Duan Zhuang has killed two disciples in a row for a few days, and he has always held back a wave of anger in his heart and has nowhere to vent, when he sees the enemy, where can he still endure it, and he turned around and slashed at the man's calf with a sword.

The man kept jumping and dodging on the big stone, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Why is Lord Duanzhuang's anger so big, let me come and lower the fire for you." As he spoke, he opened a small porcelain bottle and poured a bottle of black liquid on the head of Master Duan.

As soon as the owner of Duan Zhuang leaned over, he looked down, and saw that the grass on the ground was stained with these black liquids, and it immediately fell down, as if it had been roasted by a blazing fire.

Lord Duan Zhuang shouted "despicable", and the long sword thrust forward, like a spirit snake coming out of a hole, and the tip of the sword stabbed towards the calf of the man in white.
