Chapter 3: The First Battle

"This man has such a big arm!" Ding Cheng thought, "You must attack him with a fast sword to win." Before he could think about it, the man in black raised his knife and slashed at Ding Cheng again. Ding Cheng stood up with his sword accordingly, and the long sword did not intersect with the opponent's broadsword, and only attacked the gap between his broadsword with a fast sword.

That person's knife skills are also really good, his moves are old and spicy, and his skills are also deep, Ding Cheng not only couldn't hurt the other party, but was forced to retreat again and again. Ding Cheng has never really fought with anyone since he learned martial arts, so although his swordsmanship is strong, he has no experience in facing the enemy. Under the onslaught of the opponent's big knife, he seemed a little hurried and couldn't cope with it.

In this way, Ding Cheng was cowardly in his heart, and he lost the rules when he made a move, and the danger was immediate. The black-clothed man swept with his sword, and slashed from top to bottom, Ding Cheng's horizontal sword blocked, the swords intersected again, Ding Cheng's long sword was vigorously excited, and finally flew out of his hand.

The man was so strong that he pursued the victory, raising his sword and slashing again. Ding Cheng hurriedly jumped back, but unexpectedly there was already a courtyard wall behind him, and there was no way to retreat.

At the critical moment, there was a "buzz" sound in mid-air, and something smashed into the back of the man in black. The man in black hurriedly turned around and blocked the flying thing with his knife. Unexpectedly, the flying object was extremely powerful, and the man in black was knocked into a shake, took three steps back, and hurriedly took the pile to stop.

The thing hit the big knife of the man in black and flew back, and a person outside the courtyard reached out to catch it and walked in, but it was an old monk, followed by two young monks. It turned out that at the critical moment, it was the old monk who relieved Ding Cheng with a string of prayer beads on his chest.

I saw the old monk holding a prayer bead, pulling his hands, and the bead thread broke. The old monk grabbed a prayer bead in each hand and called the man in black. The man in black struck with a knife, moving left and right, but he was still hit by a rosary on the back of his hand, and the big knife fell to the ground.

The monk waved his robe and raised his palm to slap the man in black, and as soon as the palm power was spoken, the palm wind caused the man in black to fly wildly. The man in black stared and greeted him with his palms. "Pap, pap, pap" After three palms, the man in black took three steps back.

The man in black shook his hand, and a sleeve arrow shot towards the old monk's head. The old monk took out a rosary and flicked it hard, and the rosary hit the sleeve arrow, which was knocked backwards and flew out and inserted into a big tree in the courtyard.

The old monk waved his palm and slapped at the man in black, and the man in black made a move, but it was empty, and somehow, the old monk's right palm was already printed on the chest of the man in black. The man in black flew backwards and crashed into the tree, his whole body stood still, Ding Cheng stepped forward to check, but it turned out that the sleeve arrow nailed to the tree had been inserted into the vest of the man in black. The old monk joined hands and chanted "Amitabha".

The old monk Ding Cheng recognized was Master Zhenghui of the Holy Three Pagoda Temple, and he stepped forward to salute. Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, Master Zhenghui sighed, "It's too late for the old man to come!" Several people began to inspect the corpses on the ground and the situation in each house. A total of twenty people in the village, including Duan Zhuang, were killed, but Duan Sirong was nowhere to be seen.

Ding Cheng and the three masters chased for several miles in each direction, but they didn't find any trace of the enemy, and they all returned to the hall of Duanjiazhuang.

Ding Cheng said: "The disciple knows that the master of Duan Zhuang is generous and chivalrous, and has no enemies. But today's incident, these gangsters are strong in martial arts and ruthless, but they don't know why they came?"

Master Zhenghui muttered: "Looking at the situation in each house, the villains seem to be rummaging for something, but the gold and silver property in the house of the owner of Duan Zhuang has not been lost, which shows that the enemy is not wealthy, and besides, this slaughter of the village is not in line with the act of robbing money." Are they looking for something very important?"
