Seeing the clouds

Chapter 38 Chapter 37 He Ming
Tong Hanshan's sudden outburst caught everyone present by surprise.

Everyone thought that if they continued to spend this time, as long as they were not immortal figures on the martial arts evaluation list, they would probably end up at the end of their ropes.

It's a pity that God often does not grant people's wishes, and Tong Hanshan's desperate situation immediately made everyone feel extremely cold.Many people present have come into contact with many martial arts warriors, and have seen them all, including third-grade, second-grade, and even first-grade warriors.The Duke of Han's residence has a first-class guest minister named Feng Li, who is over [-] years old. He is not young at all. He likes to carry an extremely sharp Blue Water Dragon Sword on his back. He is mainly responsible for the safety of Duke Li Shude of Han. .Many powerful assassins with the purpose of assassination died under his sword, which made Li Shude exclaim: "Wind, sharp, really sharp!"

Feng Li has a good temper, so many people in the Han government know him and have seen his abilities.Zou Zhong, Li Tan, Li Fu, and the fat cook Hong Baotai, who was recovering from bleeding and recovering from his previous fight with Shi Ya, all knew Feng Li and had seen his strength and ability.

As for Li Jingxuan, he has even met Wudang leader Zhao Qingxi, so he naturally knows what a first-level master is like.

It can be said that the person in front of me, although he is a bit neither human nor ghost, neither male nor female, but his fighting posture is really beyond Feng Li!Now that he is still able to move, if he opens his eyes to see, he is definitely not a heartless fool.They all also guessed that the evil thug who came tonight was definitely a first-class master who was worshiped like a Bodhisattva by countless people even if he rarely showed his face.Moreover, they are the most outstanding among the first-grade masters, not just any casual first-grade masters.

At this time, more than half of the fifty cavalry Li Jingxuan brought from Tianshui had been killed or wounded after a hard battle, and the remaining soldiers who could still hold the guns were basically exhausted.Most of them are new soldiers who have never experienced the Warring States Period and have never been on the battlefield.What they usually do the most is to go out of the city to suppress bandits, and the bandits they suppress are ordinary bandits. They have never seen such a magical scene like this.Especially when he saw Tong Hanshan's face without facial features, he was timid and had no morale at all. He even lost the courage to approach with a gun.

Fortunately, although Zou Zhong had just been punched by Tong Hanshan, as an old man of the Li family and the leader of this cavalry, he still had fighting spirit. He sat up, took a long breath, and shouted angrily: "I usually teach you when I teach you." , you brag more harshly than the other, why are you so timid now when it comes to real swordsmanship? Are you all so timid? Give me a gun to charge at!"

The effect of Zou Zhong's words was immediate. Those soldiers who had been timid all over their bodies before heard Zou Zhong's words, and suddenly became frightened. Their eyes were as fierce as tigers and wolves. They said that they were elites. Sure enough, they were not wrong at all. .

Although marching and escorting are two different things, the modes are actually similar.Most of the escorts are escorts led by a group of escorts. Once attacked, as long as the escort leader is not dead, the escort team will not be in chaos.Therefore, in general robberies, gangsters usually concentrate their efforts to kill the leader of the escort first. Once the leader dies, unless there is a second-in-command with high prestige in the escort team, the team's moral support will be dispersed.Just like the Jincheng Escort Bureau, the earliest escorts were led by the veteran escort leader Huang Hansheng. The two apprentices Huang Tianba and Xiong Xiaocun were both prestigious and able to control the field.Even though the old bodyguard leader later retired to retire, Huang Tianba and Xiong Xiaocun complemented each other and still made the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau monolithic.When marching and fighting, the general is like the leader of the escort team. As long as the general does not die, the battle will continue. However, once the general is killed by the enemy general, the army will basically be scattered, and it is difficult to recover.To take a step back, even if there is no formation attack, just defeat, the morale of the losing side will drop to the bottom, and the battle will still be unwinnable.So in this situation tonight, as long as Zou Zhong doesn't die, these soldiers can fight to the death. With Li Jingxiong's natural power, there is still a possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Although Tong Hanshan now looks terrifying like neither human nor ghost, his face is gone but his brain is still there, so he still has the ability to think.He has traveled around the world for many years, killed people and robbed escorts, so he naturally understands the principle of shooting people first and shooting horses, and capturing thieves first.He glanced at the soldiers who were shocked by him just now and had been awakened by Zou Zhong's words, and then his eyes stayed on Zou Zhong.Suddenly, a burst of purple energy came from the east and wrapped around Zou Zhong.Then purple energy appeared on Tong Hanshan's body, and then the strong purple energy separated into a line, shot towards Zou Zhong, and merged with the purple energy on Zou Zhong's body. The two were connected by a purple line visible to the naked eye, as if they were connected to the sky. .Seeing that the situation was not good, Zou Zhong stood up and wanted to run away. However, the purple energy wrapped around his body was like a cage, trapping Zou Zhong in it and unable to move at all.Zou Zhong, whose combined arms had a hundred kilograms of strength and could even fight a tiger with a white forehead and an eye-catching eye, could not break through the purple energy as thick as his arms at this time.

When Tong Hanshan saw it, he wanted to take Zou Zhong's head.As a result, before his legs and feet could move, a big hand stretched out from the foot-deep pit beside him, grabbed his ankle suddenly, and dragged him into the foot-deep pit, including his body and purple energy. Tong Hanshan and Zou Zhong The purple line connecting the two people and the purple energy on Zou Zhong's body suddenly disappeared.Then there was another loud fighting sound from the pit, as well as Li Jingxiong's still slightly immature roar.

After half a stick of incense, there was no sound in the pit, and Tong Hanshan jumped out of the pit, safe and sound.Everyone lost sight of Li Jingxiong, and felt a little colder. Li Jingxuan, who was hiding behind the soldiers in the distance, saw this scene and his eyes were about to burst, and his heart was like a knife.

Fortunately, less than two breaths later, Li Jingxiong's big hand stretched out from the pit again, and he wanted to repeat his old trick. Tong Hanshan was no longer hit this time, and kicked Li Jingxiong's big hand away with a flick of his right foot, and then turned around. As soon as he moved, he stopped entangled with the boy in the pit and went straight to Zou Zhong.

Li Jingxiong, who was kicked away, did not give up. He immediately jumped out of the pit and chased after Tong Hanshan looking at his back.

But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than Tong Hanshan.Tong Hanshan rushed to Zou Zhong less than ten feet away. Zou Zhong was already waiting with his gun in hand. The soldiers around him also swarmed up and stood in front of Zou Zhong with their guns in hand.It's a pity that even a hundred sergeants can't resist Tong Hanshan at this time, let alone these few soldiers who are already defeated.

Tong Hanshan did not stop. He waved his left hand and Zi Qi moved the spears to the left. Then he struck a mountain punch with his right hand, hitting the soldier in the middle in the abdomen. As a result, these soldiers fell down together with Zou Zhong behind him. .The soldier who was hit by the punch had his internal organs ruptured and died on the spot. The other soldiers also fell to the ground in pieces and were dying.Zou Zhong was slightly better in comparison. He only suffered the aftermath and flew two feet away, but he also fell to the ground.Tong Hanshan continued to approach Zou Zhong, and the purple energy on his body quickly gathered towards his right arm, while the soldiers next to him continued to rush forward, regardless of life and death, rushing towards Tong Hanshan, hoping to buy more time for their captain.Zou Zhong lay on the ground, unable to resist. He could only watch Tong Hanshan approaching and his Paoze brothers being beaten away one by one.As the purple energy on Tong Hanshan's right arm gathered more and more, Zou Zhong understood that with this punch, he would probably be dead. At this time, he only hoped that his second and fourth sons could take the opportunity to escape and leave behind One life would not be in vain for a bloody battle with his brothers.

Tong Hanshan was about to arrive in front of Zou Zhong, and there were no soldiers nearby who could stand and hold a gun to use Mantis as a chariot. Seeing that Zou Zhong was about to be killed by Tong Hanshan's fist, at the critical moment, Li Jingxiong arrived and threw himself on Tong Hanshan's back.The two rolled to the ground and struggled together again.As expected of being hailed as the reincarnation of Zhenwu, Li Jingxiong became more and more brave as he fought, and his speed and strength could catch up with Tong Hanshan.It's a pity that I still don't have any tricks, so I have to fight hard.

But it is not unreasonable for Tong Hanshan to be called the Nine Monsters. Although Li Jingxiong became more brave as he fought, he still had the upper hand. However, after being entangled by Li Jingxiong like this, he could not escape as before, but he was not in a hurry this time. , because he knew that the young man in front of him who had just been hit to the ground and immediately got up and rushed towards him, was bound to lose, it was just a matter of time.But just in case, while he was entangled with Li Jingxiong, he stretched out his left hand and pointed his index finger first at Zou Zhong, and then at Li Jingxuan behind the two soldiers in the distance. Immediately, two arms-thick purple energy wrapped around the two of them. It was exactly the same as the purple energy on Zou Zhong before.Tong Hanshan felt relieved now. As long as the two of them were surrounded by purple energy and the purple energy on his body did not dissipate, he would have a way to find them no matter where they were hiding.As for the young man named Zheng Baiyu, he had already disappeared at this time, but he was not a big fish in the first place, so he ran away.Anyway, the matter has come to an end, Fa Li's ten signs have been used, and his longevity has also been lost. If he fails again and returns, he will really feel sorry for himself, and how can he still have the face to face his brothers.Tong Hanshan had been entangled with Li Jingxiong for about half an hour, and he was indeed one of the best players in the world, and he became more and more comfortable in the face of the young man's stalking.On the other hand, Li Jingxiong, who can be said to be the reincarnation of a powerful and powerful martial artist, is stupid as a young man, but he is not stupid. He knows that in his eyes, there are some messy people in front of him who want to harm his second brother.But the strength is strong and sufficient, which does not mean that it is endless. After beating, it finally becomes a bit weak, and it all depends on the support of will.

Tong Hanshan punched Li Jingxiong on the forehead, and Li Jingxiong was hit to the ground by the fist wind surrounded by purple energy.Li Jingxiong didn't know how many times he was hit to the ground by Tong Hanshan, but in the previous times, as soon as Li Jingxiong fell to the ground, he got up and rushed towards Tong Hanshan before Tong Hanshan could react.But this time, because of exhaustion, Li Jingxiong was delayed for a breath when he got up, and Tong Hanshan seized the opportunity.Tong Hanshan punched the ground at his feet with two fists at the same time, and a small opening suddenly opened in the ground, and half of Li Jingxiong's body was stuck in the crack.Li Jingxiong was already a little exhausted at this time, and if his body was stuck like this again, he would be unable to break free.When Tong Hanshan looked at it, he thought to himself that he was finally getting rid of this annoying boy after so long delay, and immediately looked at Zou Zhong and Li Jingxuan again.

Li Jingxuan had disappeared at this time, but Zou Zhong was still lying aside.Tong Hanshan smiled secretly in his heart: "Do you think you can escape?"

After saying that, he quickly ran towards Zou Zhong who was lying on the ground. Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from one side and flew towards Tong Hanshan.Seeing that the black shadow and Tong Hanshan were about to collide, Tong Hanshan kicked the black shadow. The black shadow received a kick from Tong Hanshan, and slashed Tong Hanshan's left waist and abdomen with his backhand, and then flew backwards. .

The black shadow that suddenly appeared was of course Zhang Yue.The reason why he made this desperate slash was because he found that when the purple energy visible to Tong Hanshan's eyes was flowing all over his body, only the waist and abdomen on both sides were the weakest.So he guessed that Tong Hanshan's waist and abdomen might be his only flaw at this time. Rather than sit back and wait for death, he might as well fight to the death. Even if he couldn't kill Tong Hanshan, if he could cause some damage to him, Li Jingxuan's life would be saved. .

Zhang Chuchu made the right bet. Although the knife failed to cause any damage to Tong Hanshan, the purple energy on Tong Hanshan's body was continuously leaking from his left waist and abdomen, just like a leather pot filled with water being cut open by a sharp knife. The water slowly flows out of the small opening.Tong Hanshan had been entangled with Li Jingxiong before and had spent a lot of energy, so even if he covered his waist and abdomen with his left hand and held his breath, it would still be of no avail.

The purple energy on Zou Zhong naturally slowly dissipated.

Tong Hanshan knew in his heart that if he was dragged on, he would really be the end of a strong crossbow that could not penetrate Lu Tao.Then he looked at Zhang Yue who was lying in the distance and ruined his good fortune. When he thought of Li Jingxuan and Zheng Baiyu who were missing, all the hard work he had spent tonight was in vain, and he felt extremely angry.Fortunately, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even in his current state, he can easily kill everyone except Li Jingxiong.

Tong Hanshan looked at Zhang Yue, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he thought about it, and the more unwilling he became.He calmed down and walked towards Zhang Yue, intending to kill him quickly.Zhang Chuchu was kicked and fell to the ground. He had no strength to resist. The other people present were injured and died, and they were all lying on the ground like this. Even Li Jingxiong was trapped in the crack and couldn't struggle. When he came out, he could only glare at Tong Hanshan with red eyes.

Zhang Chuchu took a breath, thinking that Li Jingxuan and his cousin Zheng Baiyu had escaped this disaster, and his death was not in vain.There is no sorrow for those who are about to die.

Everyone else present, seeing this situation, accepted their fate.

At this moment, a crane roared in the sky, and then a figure fell to the ground, blocking the way between Tong Hanshan and Zhang Chuechu.

Tong Hanshan was so angry that he didn't even take a closer look at the figure, and attacked with his right arm that still had purple energy.The figure also stretched out his right arm and received a punch with his palm.Unexpectedly, the figure received a fist that even Li Jingxiong found difficult to take, and remained motionless. Only the wide sleeve on the right side fluttered. On the contrary, Tong Hanshan took two steps back. He couldn't believe it in his heart.

Tong Hanshan took a closer look and saw an old Taoist standing in front of him under the weak firelight.The old Taoist has long hair and a childish face, phoenix eyes and sparse eyebrows, with a dot of red in the middle of his eyebrows. He is wearing a loose white cloth Taoist robe. He stands tall and looks like he is independent from the world and has the potential to become an immortal.

Tong Hanshan's heart was filled with uncertainty. He asked in a voice that was unclear whether it was a man or a woman: "Who are you?"

The old Taoist priest stroked his white beard, closed his eyes and smiled slowly, "I am a poor Taoist... Zhao Qingxi."
