burning nations

Chapter 29

That night, in the secret room of the Salt Gang, Shen Yiqi was enthusiastically planning how to destroy the uppers of the slender uppers, so that his private salt network could break into Jiannan Road in one fell swoop.Just as he was planning, he received a letter from Long Tian, ​​and after reading the note, Shen Yiqi's interest disappeared, and his face slowly turned from red to yellow, from yellow to purple, and finally turned dark.

He said to the hall masters: "Longtian brought me two pieces of news. First, all 10 brothers from Hexiang, Yitang and 20tang died. Longtian himself was also injured by that Zhang. Now Ji Yang for treatment. Second, Long Tian requested that all [-] hall masters of my Salt Gang go to battle, just to kill a little man named Zhang."

After finishing speaking, the hall masters below started discussing in surprise.

At some point, Shen Yiqi had already sat back on his seat, and said coldly, "My good fellow, what kind of person is this Zhang? He actually asked me to help all the top experts to deal with it..."

After pondering for a moment, he said to everyone: "Okay, promise him! Hudi, you immediately lead all the hall masters Xingye to Jiyang to help in the battle!"

"No!" The crowd responded in unison.

--------

At the same time, Zhang Cai was on his way to the Dabie Mountains.A few days later, the tour ended, and it was golden autumn. Zhang Cai came to Wankou Ferry, intending to use the last time to take a boat to Jiangzhou, and then return to Ezhou.

On the Yangtze River, there are plenty of passenger ships at various ferries. Zhang Cai easily boarded a passenger ship and took out "Military Training Notes" to read.

At night, Zhang Cai felt sleepy, put away his book and fell asleep. Zhang Cai slept soundly for a long night. Until midnight, Zhang Cai woke up suddenly, jumped up from the couch, and looked around habitually.Feeling a little hot, she got up in her clothes and went out to get some ventilation. She opened the hatch and walked onto the deck of the ship. At this moment, Zhang Cai felt that something was wrong, because the ship stopped motionless on the Yangtze River.

She looked around curiously, but there was no one around.

"Dude? Dude!"

Zhang Cai called softly, but there was no answer, and there was silence all around.

Deathly silence.

Zhang Cai took a deep breath, returned to the cabin and took out the steel knife that Zhu Wu gave him as a gift, and looked at the whole ship again when he came to the deck. The side-hung night lanterns went out, as did the signal lanterns on the mast.

Zhang Cai was a little surprised. She quietly took out a fire pocket from her arms and lit it, and walked slowly along the ship's side deck.

Suddenly, her footsteps stopped, because a bright red blood overflowed from the crack in the door of the cabin next door.Zhang Cai walked quickly to the door of the cabin, and leaned on the door to listen to the movement inside. There was no snoring, no sleep talking in the room, not even the sound of breathing.

Kicking the door open with a flying kick, Zhang Cai rushed into the room, and saw a man who looked like a merchant lying on the bed in the cabin, with protruding eyes, a long gash in his throat, and the blood had already flowed dry.

As if he knew something, maybe he had already guessed it, Zhang Cai's hands began to tremble, his eyes were about to split open, his chest was rounded by a burst of energy, he turned and went to the door, came to the door of another cabin, and pushed it away with a torch The door rushed in, and the scene in front of him was horrible.There were five or six guests lying here and there on the ground, their throats, chests and even their backs were cut long and long by sharp instruments, all blood flowed out, and they had already died for a long time.

Silently walked out of the room, turned around and ran for the stairs, suddenly she stopped, her eyes fixed on the corner of the stairs, and saw the man who led her on board was leaning there, his eyes wide open, a big hole in his chest, blood Has solidified.

【sorry】

Zhang Cai slowly squatted down and closed the buddy's eyes, her chest was full of anger and went straight to Tianling Gai, she stood up and continued to walk forward.

Push open a hatch, dead man.Open the door again, and there are still dead people. When they came to the cockpit, the situation inside made Zhang Cai want to vomit. The corpses of more than a dozen boatmen were stacked together, and the cabin was already stained red with blood.

Instead of checking each cabin one by one, Zhang Cai slowly walked up to the deck. She stood at the bow, waiting quietly for something.Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind her.

Zhang Cai asked angrily: "Why kill these innocent people?"

The black shadow made a familiar voice, it was Long Tian who was recovering from his injuries, he smiled, and said in a contemptuous and perverse tone: "What do you say? Aren't you a smart person? You should know that it is for you, you shouldn't have Ask this."

Zhang Cai sneered and said sharply: "You look so arrogant today. But you and the Salt Gang are cowards! You are a bunch of dirty scum! If you are men, stand in front of me, openly and clearly Fight with guns! You are not as good as wild boars for doing such a thing! Saples is ashamed to accept you!"

Instead of being angry, Long Tian said with a smile: "You seem very angry."

Zhang Cai drew out the steel knife: "None of you want to leave tonight!"

Long Tian proudly said: "Hehe, it's up to you?"

Zhang Cai said: "Looking at the situation in the boat, I'm afraid the masters under the command of the Salt Gang have all arrived? I didn't hear the slightest sound after killing so many people. There must be many killers attacking at the same time."

Long Tian raised his eyebrows: "You are so smart, you have made the final and accurate judgment in your life. That's right, the twenty hall masters of the Salt Gang are here, except for the crane you killed!"

"The Salt Gang has never been like this night before. The heads of all the halls came together just to kill you, an unknown pawn. You should feel honored."

Zhang Cai snorted coldly: "Then let me meet the masters of your Salt Gang."

Long Tian sneered: "You seem to want to die very much."

Zhang Cai sneered and shook his head: "No, no, I want to see if I will kill your Salt Gang to close down on this boat tonight!"

The corners of Long Tian's mouth twitched after hearing this: "Ouch? What a big tone! Wet little baby!"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands three times, and then waited impatiently for the Eighteenth Hall Master to appear ghostly in every corner of the building.

Long Tian smiled and said: "Listen, boy, let me introduce you, Hudi, Shixuan, Xianghuang, Leopard Yu, Xiongzhou, Xiuhong, Yanhuang, Mangri, Jiaoyue, Houying, Diaozhan, Gui Chen, Lu Su, Lang Lie, Jackal Zhang, Xi Han, Hu Lai, Deer Shu."

Then, pointing to himself: "Longtian!"

Zhang Cai said after hearing this: "Good name, the name is really good, they are all a group of animals!"

"Are you swarming together? Are you still going one-on-one?"

Long Tiandao: "You are very powerful. It seems that no one will be your opponent if you fight alone. It seems that this place is a bit narrow. I think it's like this, four of you will hit you one, okay?"

Zhang Cai snorted lightly: "Shameless!"

But he still took a step forward and shouted sharply: "Which one will go to reincarnate first!"

All the killers looked at Long Tian, ​​only to see Long Tian took a weak step back first, and then said loudly: "Jack Zhang, Xi Han, Hu Lai, Zhang Shu!"

The four agreed loudly, each with their weapons stepped forward, and surrounded Zhang Cai.

Zhang Cai stood firmly on the bow of the boat, squinting at the four butchers with cold eyes.

Long Tian stopped drinking: "Do it!"

As soon as the words fell, Jackal Zhang and Xie Han raised their short spears in the palms to stab Zhang Cai, and went straight to Zhang Cai's chest; behind him, Hu Lai and Zhang Shu attacked Zhang Cai sideways with their knives, clasped their heads with both knives, and cooperated tacitly with Zhang Cai. The four directions of mining, front, back, left, and right are all sealed off.

I saw Zhang Cai's steady group, jumping up with a vigorous step, pointing his toes on the tip of the gun, and kicking Jackal Zhang down with one kick.At this moment, the tip of Xie Han's spear had reached his chest, Zhang Cai dodged to dodge, Xie Han's spear pierced the air, and went straight to Hu Lai's door on the opposite side.Hu Lai let out a startled cry, lying flat on his body, Xi Han's spear passed by his face.

Zhang Cai, who was kicked down, put his arms around Zhang Cai's slender calf, locked his leg with a sound of gold wire wrapping around his wrist, and pulled back vigorously.If Zhang Cai is wrestling, is he an opponent?He had no choice but to use his strength to take advantage of the opportunity to jump up, ride on his neck, bring him down, and use his legs to wrap around the jackal's neck like a poisonous snake.The jackal Zhang was shocked and broke free with all his strength. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other three stabbed Zhang Cai with their knives and guns.

Zhang Cai had no choice but to jump again, avoiding the steel knives of Hu Lai and Zhang Shu from left and right, and landed on Xi Han's gun.Xie Han was startled, and hurriedly drew the gun, but Zhang Cai's lithe body seemed to be stuck to the barrel of the gun.With a shout, the steel knife swung out, cutting off the jackal's neck.

At the same time, Zhang Cai sank down with all his strength, stomped hard on his feet, and broke Xie Han's gun in two with a click.He was terrified, threw his gun and retreated, but how could Zhang Cai do what he wanted, he threw it hard, and the body of Jackal Zhang flew towards the opposite Hu Lai and Zhang Shu. The two were shocked and ignored Zhang Cai, turned sideways Avoid the flying corpses.

And at this moment of lightning, Zhang Cai approached close to him, and slashed Xiohan's neck fiercely with his backhand. Xihan's head flew out with a bloody arrow, and landed in the Yangtze River water.

Zhang Cai turned around and returned the knife, his clothes stained with blood, and he stood on the deck majesticly like a god.

There was silence on the boat, and everyone was overwhelmed by Zhang Cai's aura, so that Hu Lai and Zhang Shu didn't dare to go forward to fight for a while.

Zhang Cai's eyes were blazing, his body rose into the air, and he rushed towards Hu Lai and Zhang Shu from top to bottom.Although it is said that the volley strike has the blessing of gravity, but in the end, Zhang Cai is weak in the competition of strength, and the blades collide heavily, which only makes the tiger's mouth numb, and has no benefit.

Hudi, who was watching the battle, saw that the situation was not good, and waved a steel dart straight to the back of Zhang Cai's heart. Zhang Cai seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and his figure fell upside down behind Hu Lai and Zhang Shu. The ground steel dart was nailed into Hu Lai's throat.

Those who watched the play nearby and those who didn't die in the scene all shouted shit!
After Zhang Shu hanged your mother and wanted to escape, Zhang Cai swiftly swung his knife forward, and as the cold light flashed by, all sounds disappeared.

Zhang Cai turned around slowly, her beautiful eyes swept over the remaining fifteen animals one by one.

Facing Zhang Cai's sharp killing eyes, all the masters unavoidably took a step back subconsciously.

Suddenly, Zhang Cai shouted loudly!
"Say it straight! If you dare to leave the palace, I will let one of you go."

"I won't keep any of the rest!"

Faced with such a provocation, Gaimo endured it!Long Tian and Hu Di looked at each other and waved their hands behind them.

Xiong Zhou, Xiu Hong, Yan Huang, and Man Ri walked to Zhang Cai slowly.Before the four of them could gain a firm foothold, they felt a blur in front of their eyes. Zhang Cai's knife met the moon, turning into a piece of light and shadow, it was already in front of Xiong Zhou.Xiong Zhou was startled, jumped up with a groan, flipped the sharp ax in his palm, and rushed to fight back.Unexpectedly, this was just a false move by Zhang Cai. Seeing the ax approaching in front of him, his nimble body immediately sank and walked close to the ground, and even slipped between the bodies of Xiong Zhou and Xiu Hong, commonly known as drilling the crotch.

The "humiliation under the crotch" cannot be taken in vain, the two turned around in shock, but it was already too late.Zhang Cai landed on his shoulders, turned his body upside down, and without looking back, he slashed backhand, and the blade sliced ​​across Xiuhong's throat.

Then Xiong Zhou roared and slashed at Zhang Caixiang's back with his double axes. Zhang Cai jumped forward to avoid the attack of the double axes, and rushed towards Yan Huang and Bog Ri who were in front of him.These two people used double hooks and long swords, Yan Huang's double hooks swept towards Zhang Cai's waist, Mang Ri's sword pierced Zhang Cai's chest, as fast as a shooting star, as fast as lightning.

Zhang Cai dodges unhurriedly, the steel knife cuts off the double hooks that are entangled with Yan Huang, and turns forward to use his strength to go back, the double hooks fly obliquely and swing away the long sword that Mang Ri stabs at his chest.

Immediately afterwards, the steel knife in Zhang Cai's palm was taken back violently, and Yan Huang was unprepared, only to feel that his hand was loosened, and the double hooks had been taken away.But at the same time, Xiong Zhou's twin axes came to Zhang Cai to settle the score, Zhang Cai turned around and kicked Yan Huang's chest fiercely, and Yan Huang's body moved towards Xiong Zhou.

Xiong Zhou's ax exhausted all his strength, including the strength of breastfeeding, but he never expected that Yan Huang would fly towards him.With a bang, he quickly threw the double axes, and carried Yan Huang and the two of them back to the deck.

There was another cry from the audience!
Xiong Zhou and Yan Huang looked back and saw that the two axes were raised and lowered, and Mang Ri was out of breath.I was stunned by Xiong Zhou, I still accidentally injured the friendly army.

At this moment, Long Tian, ​​who was watching the battle, shouted eagerly: "Don't be stupid, idiot! Watch out!!"

The two turned their heads in surprise, only to see that Zhang Cai had arrived in front of him, sniffing the last breath of a girl's body fragrance in his life, a cold light flashed, and the unarmed Yan Huang's head fell to the ground.Xiong Zhou turned around and wanted to run, but Zhang Cai jumped up and stabbed Xiong Zhou in the back of the heart with a knife, and the latter fell down in response.

After two fierce battles and killing eight masters, Zhang Cai was already unable to do what she wanted, her body shook twice, and she quickly stood still.

Shi Xuan and Xiang Huang, who were watching the battle, saw the advantages, they shouted in unison and rushed forward.Long Tian warned to be careful, Shi Xuan confidently expressed that it would be fine!

You don't have any blue bars, can you beat me? !
Then he was slapped in the face.

The two of them each held simple knives and slashed at Zhang Cai with the wind and rain, Zhang Cai sneered.

"go to hell!!!"

Turning around, he slid past Shixuan's saber, kicked Xiang Huang's waist in the air, Xiang Huang dodged sideways, turned the saber head towards Zhang Cai's calf, and Zhang Cai leaped past Xiang Huang. On the top of Huang's head, he slashed at Shi Xuan with his backhand.Shi Xuan stepped back quickly, and swiped the blade towards Zhang Cai's back. Zhang Cai retracted his head and hid his head. His right leg slipped, and a big fork fell to the ground. Shi Xuan's blade brushed across her forehead.

In the auditorium, Long Tian was heartbroken and screamed like a eunuch: "Shi Xuan, watch out for your feet! Feet!!"

Before the words were finished, Zhang Cai's knife had arrived, and there were two crackling sounds, and Shi Xuan screamed and fell to the ground, his feet had already left his body.Zhang Cai carp jumped up straight, and the steel knife pierced Shi Xuan's heart fiercely.

In just a short moment, nine of them had already died. Seeing that the situation was not good, Long Tian didn't dare to wave, and shouted loudly: "Big guys, let's go shoulder to shoulder!"

The assassins watching the battle drew their weapons and stepped forward.

Xiang Huang roared wildly and swung the Pu Dao towards Zhang Cai's back. Zhang Cai picked up his toes lightly. Shi Xuan's Pu Dao bounced a foot high. Like lightning, he went straight to Xianghuang's chest.With a puff, the tip of the knife passed through Xianghuang's body, and died hastily on the deck.

All the killers stopped, Zhang Cai turned around and raised the steel knife in his hand, and all the masters retreated again and again.Ten top killers of the Salt Gang lay dead on the deck, some of them were so miserable that they didn't even have a head, and the remaining nine never dared to act rashly anymore, and all stared at Zhang Cai.

It doesn't matter if you stare at it, the clothes are wet with sweat, and the makeup is also applied, only to see that Zhang Cai's chest has become bulging, and the black and yellow cheeks deliberately made to reveal part of the pure and charming beauty.

Hudi stared blankly for a moment: "Brother, why does he seem to be a woman?!"

Long Tian didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Cai quietly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Hudi was a little terrified: "Brother, the leader entrusted all the masters of the Salt Gang to you and me. In the first battle just now, ten of the 20 hall masters were killed by this woman. This is an unprecedented defeat and shame! If we can't kill If she is lost or captured alive, how will I explain it when I go back? Even if the leader doesn’t punish her, the rest of our nine hall masters will also become the laughingstock of the world! Then how can the Donglin party members entrust the task to my Salt Gang again?!”

Speaking of the Donglin Party, Zhang Cai suddenly became sober.

[Sure enough, colluding with this group of scumbags, the Donglin Party! ! ! 】

Then Zhang Cai seemed to have infinite power!
Long Tian took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry, wait, wait, what about the ten brothers, no matter what, they can exhaust her to the end of their strength."

Abbreviation: If I can't kill you, I will exhaust you to death!

Just confronting each other like this, suddenly Zhang Cai let out a mouthful of blood, and Long Tian was overjoyed to make a move, but Hu Di had already brought Jiaoyue and Hou Ying forward eagerly, and the knife had already been raised in front of Zhang Cai, Almost fell off!
But at this moment, Long Tian screamed like a eunuch again: "Be careful! Mobilize quickly!!!"

Hudi was stunned, but felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and then his throat hurt, and finally saw that Zhang Cai's knife had scratched his throat, dripping a drop of blood.

It was too late to say it, but Zhang Cai bit the tip of his tongue and deliberately pretended to be injured to deceive Hudi, Jiaoyue, and Houying. The moment the three of them relaxed and the knife fell, Zhang Cai used all his strength to quickly seal the knife. The throat kills the tiger.But the matter was not over yet, I saw her walking quickly to Jiaoyue's side, pressing her left hand on her right and slashing fiercely, Jiaoyue's long knife snapped off in response.Zhang Cai took advantage of the situation and swung the knife, slashing upwards with the steel knife full of gaps. At the same time, he raised his body, the strength of the blade and the force of gravity, and hit the steel knife with all his strength. Blood spattered the monkey's face.

Zhang Cai's blow only took eight seconds.

Long Tian, ​​Diao Zan, and Gui Chen didn't care whether they were surprised, frightened or horrified, they hurried forward to rescue Hou Ying and then ran to stop the loss, but how could Zhang Cai do what he wanted?Zhang Cai was already behind Houying, with a simple but extremely quick cut, Houying screamed, and then his life ended.

Long Tian, ​​Diao Zan, and Gui Chen were still sprinting, and they stopped in unison. They picked up the equipment in horror and guarded the female killer in front of them——Zhang Cai!Although the three of them and the dead 17-wai master only knew Zhang Cai's surname was Zhang.

Zhang Cai changed into Hudi's good knife with a grinning grin, held the new knife, grinned, and approached Longtian, Diao Zan, and Guichen step by step, and the three retreated together, not daring to close the distance at all .

Zhang Cai simply didn't pick up his voice, and taunted with his original tone: "What? I'm afraid! The masters of the Salt Gang! The masters who can only kill innocent civilians! You come! This girl is waiting for you to kill me! Coward!!!"

"20 killers, how majestic. You don't know. When I was 7 years old, I hunted a big tiger alone with someone behind my back. Killing the head of an animal is more difficult than killing your salt gang masters! You are not as good as a wild boar!"

"Why are you still going back?! You come to kill me, aren't you good?! You can't beat me, a weak woman, four times and one, but killing me, a woman like me, killed 16 people before and after. Niu, why not Awesome?! Just like Xia Tianhu, Meng Tachuan, Fang Tianhua, and Deng Biandao of the Xian Gang, they are both trash and idiots!"

Zhang Cai raised his sword and pointed at Long Tian: "Long Tian, ​​did I say that you will be shut down on this boat tonight! When are you three going to die?!"

Long Tian, ​​Diao Zan, and Gui Chen continued to retreat without answering.

Zhang Cai lost patience: "Go to hell!!!"

Saying that, he straightened his sword and took Long Tian straight.

In the battle at Hino Store that day, Long Tian knew that Zhang Cai was powerful, so he jumped back hastily before he had made two cuts.Zhang Cai gave him a lot of face, directly ignoring Diao Zhan and Guichen and going straight to him.Seeing this, Long Tian quickly swung his long sword to stab several times, and Zhang Cai swung the knife to open them one by one. When the two of them were coming and going, Zhang Cai suddenly felt the wind in his ears, and swiped Diao Zan's knife to the left from the top of her head. However, regardless of the steel knife in his hand, he continued to attack Longtian, but Longtian had no time to block and jumped back out of the circle, falling ass.

Zhang Cai saw Longtian withdrawing, he hit the deck with his left hand and stood up instantly, swung the steel knife towards Guichen, Guichen hurriedly set up the knife to resist, Zhang Cai took advantage of the gravity to press on the blade, flew upside down with Guichen as the fulcrum, and cut it off with a single blow throat.Immediately on the ground, a roundabout kick kicked Guichen's corpse into Diao Zhan's arms, and then rushed forward to Diao Zhan's face, grasped his arm tightly, turned his steps with one foot, followed by the steel knife, and the blood arrow spurted out , head in hand.

Turning around, only Long Tian was left.

Long Tian swallowed nervously: "If I'm not mistaken, the knife you killed Jiaoyue and the knife you killed Diaozhan, the former is the Qi family's sword technique, and the latter is the Qi family's boxing technique."

Zhang Cai said coldly: "Is this your last words?"

Long Tian didn't answer, and continued: "I'm not mistaken, since your surname is Zhang, and you know the skills of the Qi family, there is only one person who is right, it seems that you are Zhang Cai."

"Smart." Zhang Cai boasted, "Die!"

Long Tian stood up and swung his sword to stab Zhang Cai's chest. Zhang Cai seemed to have expected it, and the steel knife deflected the sword. Red Zhang Cai's socks.

As soon as Long Tian died, Zhang Cai lost all strength, fell down on the deck, and vomited blood.

This time he really vomited blood, not biting the tip of his tongue.

Zhang Cai felt that he couldn't exert any strength all over his body, looked down at the blood-stained clothes, and gave a wry smile wearily.

"I need to change clothes and have to rest. I hope to be closer to the shore."

With that said, Zhang Cai staggered and walked back to the cabin, leaning on the knife.
