A knife in love

Chapter 1044

Taoist Min originally planned to take advantage of the Japanese pirates fleeing down Mucheng, and when the yard was in chaos, he led his fellow disciples to slip out of the temple gate without anyone noticing.But Cai Xiao, Shi Nianhao, and Yang Ziqiao fled first, and the thirty gang members under the three of them also ran towards the temple gate in a panic.In this way, the Japanese pirates immediately discovered everyone's intentions.Hearing the repeated shouts of Shidao Master, more than 100 Japanese pirates who retreated to the corner gate immediately bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot at Cai Xiao and others.

The corner gate is more than twenty zhang away from the temple gate, which is not too close.But these Japanese pirates are all people who have dealt with officers and soldiers on the southeast coast for many years, and they are good at bows and arrows.Hearing the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air, more than a hundred feathered arrows flew straight towards Cai Xiao and the others.Cai Xiao and the others wanted to run for their lives, but they were already frightened at this time, only the gate of the City God Temple was in front of them, and they only wanted to escape to survive.In addition, Li Qiufeng kept chopping down the moso bamboo and planks, and the sound of the collapse of the wooden city was very loud, covering up the sound of the howling wind.Therefore, more than a hundred feathered arrows were shot at, but Cai Xiao and others didn't notice it.

Daoist Min saw that the situation was not good, and was about to sound a warning, when the rain of arrows arrived behind Cai Xiao and the others.There was only a sound of screams, and the gang members of Shijiadao, Leiquanmen and Biyunwu fell to the ground one after another.Even Shi Nianhao, Yang Ziqiao and Cai Xiao were hit by several arrows.It's just that the martial arts of the three of them are much higher than those of ordinary gang members, and they avoided the feather arrows that shot at the vital parts of their bodies.In addition, it was a matter of life and death at this moment, the three of them endured the pain and ran towards the temple gate without stopping.

Seeing that the three of them had reached the stone steps of the temple gate, dozens of Japanese pirates who had escaped from the wooden city that Li Qiufeng felled on the left side of the temple gate also started to shoot arrows.These Japanese pirates are very close to the temple gate, but only five or six zhang away.Therefore, only the sound of the bowstring was heard, and dozens of feathered arrows flew over, which were much stronger than the feathered arrows shot by the Japanese pirates at the corner gate.Cai Xiao, Shi Nianhao, and Yang Ziqiao hadn't set foot on the stone steps, but they were hit by more than ten feathered arrows behind each other.The three screamed and fell to the ground, dead after a while.Shijiadao, Leiquanmen and Biyunwu's head, dock master and gang members had a total of 33 people, all of them were wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Hearing the yelling of the master of Shidao, the Japanese pirates who had retreated to the corner gate pulled out their long knives one after another, and attacked towards the entrance of the main hall.Daoshi Min remembered that Li Qiufeng told him not to love to fight, but to fight out of the temple gate.So he shouted and led the Tianshan faction to rush towards the temple gate.

Liu Shengzongyan saw that Shijiadao, Leiquanmen and Biyunwu had all been shot to death, and Li Qiufeng cut down most of the wooden city on the left side of the temple gate. More than 200 Japanese pirates on the wooden city panicked and jumped from the top of the wooden city. escaped.Among them, 50 to 100 people stumbled and fell, and some of them hit the ground with their heads down, and their brains burst and died immediately.When some fell, the back of the heart or the lower abdomen was pierced by broken bamboo and wood, and they died immediately.In the end, more than [-] people escaped to the yard alive.Liu Sheng Zongyan knew that he could no longer intimidate the people in the hall from the top of the wooden city, so he might as well rely on the large number of people to attack the hall, capture and kill everyone, and then force the captured Nie family's children to lead the way to capture Fengmen Village.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng Zongyan said a few words to Island Master Shi.Master Shidao raised his long sword with his right hand and shouted loudly, the Japanese pirates lined up in several lines, brandishing their swords and rushed towards the main hall.

At this moment, Taoist Min led the disciples of the Tianshan School to rush to the gate of the temple, and met the Japanese pirates head-on, and they fought together immediately.The disciples of Tianshan School have exquisite swordsmanship, and their martial arts are far superior to Japanese pirates.It's just that these Japanese pirates are all battle-tested generations. When fighting, they are in groups of three, five in a team, supporting each other, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and they have a large advantage in numbers.Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, although the Tianshan faction killed three or four Japanese pirates, the situation immediately reversed after the Japanese pirates formed an formation.Everyone in the Tianshan faction was firmly trapped by the Japanese pirates, and several people were injured in an instant.

Taoist Min wielded his sword to fight, and saw the Japanese pirates swarming up layer by layer. It is not easy to protect oneself, but it is more difficult to get out of the temple than to climb to the sky.

Li Qiufeng cut down most of the wooden city on the left side of the temple gate, heard the sound of fierce fighting in the courtyard, peeked at it, and couldn't help but tremble.I saw corpses lying all over the ground under the stone steps in front of the temple gate. Shi Nianhao, Yang Ziqiao, Cai Xiao and others were shot like hedgehogs, they all fell to the ground and died.As soon as Daoshi Min led the disciples of the Tianshan School into the courtyard, they were surrounded by Japanese pirates, and it was impossible for him to rush out of the temple gate.Master Shidao dispatched in the center, and more than 100 Japanese pirates brandished long knives and rushed straight towards the main hall.Li Qiufeng knew that the Japanese pirates were already desperate and wanted to forcefully attack the main hall, and the situation had reached a critical juncture.So he got out from under the wooden city, swung his knife and rushed towards Liu Shengzongyan.

Liu Sheng Zongyan stood proudly in the yard with his hands behind his back.Seeing Li Qiufeng rushing towards him with a knife, he sneered, and pulled out a thin and long sword from the umbrella with his right hand, pointed the tip of the sword obliquely at the ground, and waited quietly for Li Qiufeng to attack in front of him.

This time Liusheng Zongyan joined forces with the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast in an attempt to seize Fengmen Village. This plan was only established a few months ago.At that time, Liusheng Zongyan led the Liusheng clan to join forces with the big shots in the court, intending to launch a mutiny in the capital, overthrow Emperor Jiajing, and seize the Great Tomorrow.It's just that they suffered disastrous defeats in the three battles of Imperial Mausoleum, Yong'an City, and Hutouyan Shajiabao.Therefore, when Liu Sheng Zongyan went south, he only brought fifty or sixty assassins of Liu Sheng's clan with him.Although these people are already his carefully selected clansmen, compared with the previous subordinates, their knowledge of martial arts is much worse.With the power of the Liusheng clan at this time, they can no longer afford the loss of manpower.Therefore, Liusheng Zongyan had to use the Japanese pirates under Lord Shidao as the main force, and the killers of the Liusheng clan must not make a move until the last moment.

Outside the imperial mausoleum, Liu Shengzongyan was besieged by Murong Danqing and Li Qiufeng. Although he escaped with his life in the end, he was secretly poisoned by Murong Danqing and fell into the insidious martial arts "Xuanyin Sword Qi" he practiced.This martial art was created by an evil sect master 300 years ago. It can integrate insidious internal energy into sword energy. When fighting an enemy, it uses deep internal energy to drive Yin energy, which can invade the internal organs of the enemy. It is extremely evil.It's just that practicing this martial art will cause great damage to the heart and lungs of the practitioner.Murong Danqing got the secret book of Xuanyin Sword Qi by accident, and knew that although this evil art is extremely powerful, once it retaliates, the practitioner will definitely lose all of his internal energy and die in an extremely miserable state.Therefore, he only practiced this martial art to the second level, expecting to use his own inner strength to suppress the insidious inner strength of Xuanyin Sword Qi, so he did not continue to practice, and even destroyed the secret book, so as not to cause disaster in the world.

Murong Danqing knew that if Murong Qiushui found out about his cultivation of Xuanyin Sword Qi, not to mention beheading himself immediately, it would not be impossible to abolish his own martial arts.So he has never shown this skill, even Murong Danyan, who is closest to him, doesn't know about it.That day when he fought against Liu Sheng Zongyan, Murong Danqing had Li Qiufeng to help him, he expected that Liu Sheng Zongyan would definitely not be their match.It's just that the situation is urgent at that time, how can there be time to fight with Liu Sheng Zongyan?Therefore, Murong Danqing became cruel, and used the evil art of Xuanyin Sword Qi when fighting Liu Shengzongyan.Liu Shengzongyan sensed something was wrong, and assassinated Murong Danyan by pretending Ma Dongqing, and Murong Danqing and Li Qiufeng turned and fled in confusion.It's just that the insidious internal force of Xuanyin sword energy has invaded his heart.

The villagers of Liusheng Zongyan and Hanshan Fishing Village followed Liu Zongyan to practice martial arts, relying on their talent and intelligence, their martial arts made great progress by leaps and bounds, far above their peers.It's just that Liu Zongyan thought that the Japanese were cruel and ruthless, and he didn't want to pass on all the unique skills of China to Liu Sheng Zongyan and others.Although he taught swordsmanship and boxing kung fu, he reserved a hand for internal strength.Therefore, Liu Sheng Zongyan's fist, foot and sword skills are comparable to the top masters in the world, but his internal strength has never been perfected.It is also because of this that he was defeated by Murong Qiushui in the decisive battle with Murong Qiushui in Nanjing 12 years ago.This time Murong Danqing hurt his heart with Xuanyin sword energy, although he can block Murong Danqing's insidious inner energy with internal strength, so as not to damage internal organs, but it will take at least half a year to dispel it.Therefore, when he went south this time, Lord Shidao and the others would come forward when anything happened, but he himself stayed out of the matter and watched from the sidelines.Because of this, Li Qiufeng challenged repeatedly just now, but he just asked Monk Guangzhi and Xu Chengsi to deal with it.Until now, the two sides have reached the juncture of the final decisive battle, and Liu Sheng Zongyan could not avoid it, so he drew out the sword hidden in the umbrella, and wanted to fight Li Qiufeng to the death.
