The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 144 Assassin Huo Lie
"Chichichi..."

It was late at night, and all the members of the gang had fallen asleep, but Duanlang held a long sword as always, and practiced hard in a secluded place, the "eclipse sword technique" handed down by his family.

Under the moonlight, the field was flickering with cold lights, sword shadows were dense, and the sharp howl of the long sword piercing the air could be heard endlessly.

But Duanlang knew very well that without the cooperation of the Firescale Sword, his Eclipse Sword Technique would only have its shape, but not its spirit.

Without the incomparably blazing characteristics of the Firescale Sword, the power of Eclipse Sword Technique cannot be displayed at all, because this sword technique was originally created based on the Firescale Sword.

But even so, the eclipse swordsmanship is also a top-notch skill in the world, even if it is just an ordinary long sword in his hand, its power is not weak.

At least during this period, Bu Jingyun may not be his opponent.

In the final contest in the original plot, Duanlang's eclipse swordsmanship and Bu Jingyun's cloud-dispelling palm confronted each other, winning by half.

If it wasn't for Xiongba's death order, not allowing him to win against Bu Jingyun, the outcome of this battle is still unknown.

At least judging from the scene, after Duan Lang broke the palm of Pai Yun's palm, the long sword had already pierced in front of Bu Jingyun, but Bu Jingyun's palm was delayed for a moment.

It was at this time that Duanlang took the initiative to withdraw his sword, and punched Bu Jingyun's palm with his chest, and was knocked off the ring.

Because the two fought extremely fast, others didn't see this small detail clearly, they only thought that after Duanlang and Paiyunzhang fought resolutely, the long sword was swung away by the palm force, but Xiongba must have seen it clearly.

It can be seen from this that Duanlang's martial arts are not inferior to Xiongba's three personal disciples.

This also aroused Xiongba's dissatisfaction even more, and he repeatedly humiliated him, which directly led to Duanlang's blackening.

But now Li Mu has replaced Xiongba, his ambition to dominate the world remains the same, but his personality is completely different.

Different personalities naturally lead to different ways of doing things, and the results are bound to be quite different.

Duan Lang had just finished performing the move "Sun Penetration Full", suddenly his expression changed, he turned his head to look at a corner, retracted his sword and shouted: "Who?"

"Hey hey hey..." Wen Chouchou shook his feather fan, let out a contrived laugh, walked out with timid small steps, and said with a smile, "Duanlang, you practice really hard!"

Now that Duanlang saw Wen Chouchou, he no longer showed any scorn and contempt. He turned his long sword upside down, cupped his fists at Wen Chouchou, and said respectfully, "I have seen Director Wen."

Wen Chouchou looked at Duanlang in surprise, and said, "When did you become so polite? You even saluted me."

Duanlang said with shame: "Because of the final selection of the hall master these two days, I thought about my experience over the years, and suddenly understood some things that I didn't understand before."

Wen Chou Chou said with a grin: "Do you feel that after so many years, you are finally going to make it through, so you start to remember the bitterness and sweetness, recall the past, and look forward to the future?"

Duan Lang smiled slightly and said, "That's true."

Naturally, he wouldn't say that he heard what the leader said. The same thing, done without knowing it, has a completely different effect from knowing it.

Wen Chouchou asked curiously: "Then what have you figured out?"

Duan Lang looked at Wen Chou Chou, and said gratefully: "I figured it out all these years, Manager Wen seems to treat me harshly, but in fact it is to protect me."

Wen Chouchou's face changed slightly, but Duanlang continued: "When the leader accepted Bu Jingyun and the three of them as disciples, I was very upset. I refused to kneel to the leader and asked him why he didn't accept me as an apprentice."

"Thinking about it now, this move was really a way to kill. At that time, Director Wen said that he asked me to be a handyman. It seemed to humiliate me, but it was actually to save my life."

"If it wasn't for Director Wen, I might have died at that time, and I didn't even have the opportunity to be a handyman. How could there be today's Duanlang?"

"Also, when I peeked at the guild master teaching the art, Manager Wen drove me away because he was afraid that I would be discovered by the guild leader and lose my life."

"Boss Wen actually treated us servants very well, but Duanlang was ignorant and always harbored resentment, which is really wrong."

Speaking of this, Duanlang cupped his fists again, bowed to Wen Chouchou, and said: "Director Wen, please accept Duanlang's bow."

Seeing this, Wen Chouchou couldn't help being relieved, he stepped forward to help Duanlang up, at this moment there was no more affectation and obsequious attitude on his face.

"Duanlang, you are very good, very good, I read you right, you are indeed a talent for making."

Wen Chouchou sighed, and said: "I come from a humble background and my martial arts are low. I can only survive by bowing my knees and being charming. After a long time, I will get used to it."

"I also climbed up from the bottom step by step, so I know the hardships of being a servant, and I have no skills. I can only pull it within my power."

He patted Duanlang on the shoulder, and said seriously: "But you just need to know these things, don't leak them out, lest the gang leader think I'm buying people's hearts."

"With the leader's temperament, it is actually very easy to do things under his hands. As long as you follow his wishes in everything, you can live a good life. Some unnecessary things are the way to death."

Duanlang clasped his fists deeply and said, "Thank you, Manager Wen, for your guidance. Duanlang is very grateful."

Wen Chouchou nodded in relief, and said, "I came this time because the leader of the gang summoned you. Do you know why the leader of the gang summoned you?"

Duan Lang pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "The direct disciple of the gang leader cannot be defeated."

Wen Chouchou's eyes showed admiration, he nodded happily and said: "Since you understand this truth, you naturally know what to do."

"Okay, very good, so I can rest assured that you will have a bright future, come with me!"

Wen Chouchou happily took Duanlang to Li Mu's place.

Today is indeed worthy of his joy, because the boy Duanlang has finally enlightened, and the position of the master of the Thunderstorm Hall is almost in his pocket.

And he also wanted to understand the kindness he had treated him all these years. In this way, after he took the position of hall master, it would be of great benefit to him.

When he arrived outside the palace where the comment "Golden scales are not a thing in the pool, it will transform into a dragon in a storm" was pasted on the load-bearing pillar, Wen Chouchou subconsciously bowed his back, and the flattering smile appeared on his face again. smile.

Entering the hall, Li Mu was sitting on the main seat with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

Wen Chouchou walked up to Li Mu's side and stood still, Duan Lang knelt down five feet away from Li Mu, clasped his fists and said, "The villain Duan Lang kowtowed to the guild master, I wonder if the guild master summoned the villain, what instruction do you have?"

Li Mu didn't open his eyes, but said slowly, "Duanlang, no matter who you face against any of my three apprentices tomorrow, you will definitely lose."

Hearing the words, Duan Lang said without hesitation: "Yes, follow the order of the leader?"

Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Duanlang and said, "Don't you ask why?"

Duan Lang said: "No matter what the leader decides, he has his own reasons. The villain just needs to follow the leader's orders and do what he wants, without asking why."

Li Mu looked at Duanlang for a while, and saw that he looked calm and showed no signs of nervousness, which proved that he really thought so in his heart now, and he was not just following his favour.

"Hehehe..." Li Mu stood up with a smile, glanced at Wen Chouchou, and went straight to his residence.

Wen Chouchou also laughed along with him. While following Li Mu, he said to Duanlang with a smile: "Duanlang, you are still young, work hard, the boss will not treat you badly, go!"

"Yes, thank you, Manager Wen, for your suggestion, and thank you for your help, Master."

Duanlang kowtowed to Li Mu's back, then got up and left. After walking out of the palace, he finally couldn't help the joy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

……

The next day, the school grounds.

Today is the time for the decisive victory. The result of the draw is that Qin Shuang played against Xu Hong, Nie Feng played against Yang Zhen, and Duanlang still drew Bu Jingyun.

Xu Hong once went to Dongying to study martial arts, and what he practiced was sumo wrestling.

Although he doesn't have the shape of a sumo wrestler, his strength and ability to resist blows are also terrifying.

Based on martial arts moves alone, Qin Shuang was no match for him at all. He couldn't even hurt him, and was even suppressed by Xu Hong for a while.

In the end, Qin Shuang just froze him with Tianshuang Fist, making him unable to move, so he barely won.

Nie Feng's opponent, Yang Zhen, has also entered the room with Tai Chi Kung Fu.

He used slow to fight fast, used softness to overcome rigidity, unleashed strength and borrowed strength to strike hard, and used the method of pulling a thousand catties in fours and twos to the fullest. For a time, he fought back and forth with Nie Feng, regardless of the outcome.

But in the end, Nie Feng's Fengshen leg was more powerful, which exceeded the limit of Yang Zhen's ability, and he couldn't catch it completely. In the end, he was willing to admit defeat and surrendered.

The third match between Duanlang and Bu Jingyun was exactly the same as the original plot. When Duanlang won by half, he voluntarily withdrew his move and was knocked off the ring by Bu Jingyun's palm.

Even Bu Jingyun himself didn't notice that Duanlang was releasing water, he only thought that the opponent's long sword was blown away by his palm.

The main reason is that Bu Jingyun was in the midst of the situation, so he couldn't see clearly.

But the onlookers, like Hong Yu, knew something beforehand, so they watched the process of the competition carefully, and they naturally discovered the details.

Duan Lang's sword energy had already split the palm strength of Bun Jingyun, after the resolute strike, Duan Lang's long sword pointed forward without shaking, and he withdrew the long sword after a while.

If it was a life-and-death fight, Duan Lang would certainly be injured by Bu Jingyun's Cloud Pailing Palm, but Bu Jingyun would most likely be pierced through his throat by this sword.

The final result will be breaking the waves and exchanging injuries for lives.

Hong Yu and the others looked at Li Mu calmly, and found that he had a satisfied smile on his face, and they were immediately relieved.

Duanlang's decision was indeed correct, presumably he will be reused by the leader in the future, and then these brothers will follow suit.

At the end of the contest, there were only three winners left in the ring. Li Mu got up and led Wen Chouchou onto the ring, raising his hands as a signal.

The cheering gang members immediately quieted down, and Li Mu said: "Now the outcome has been decided, Qin Shuang is in charge of the Tianshuang Hall, Bu Jingyun is in charge of the Feiyun Hall, and Nie Feng is in charge of the Shenfeng Hall. "

The three clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you, Master."

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "Well, although Yang Zhen, Xu Hong, and Duan Lang were defeated, their martial arts were only slightly inferior, and they are also rare talents in my world."

"Although they failed to take the position of hall master, they will be reused by this sect master in the future."

"From today onwards, Duanlang is no longer a handyman. Like Yang Zhen and Xu Hong, he has been promoted to the leader of the main altar gang, leading a team of the main altar gang. If he makes great contributions in the future, he will be rewarded."

"The leader of this gang is thirsty for talents. In my world, there is no such thing as a lack of talent. As long as you have real skills, the leader of this gang will definitely use it according to your ability."

As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, thousands of gang members shouted in unison: "The leader of the gang is wise, Wen Chengwu is virtuous, obeying the destiny of heaven, and unifying the world."

Duanlang's mouth was still stained with blood, but he yelled louder than anyone else, with an excited look on his face.

As the leader of the gang, he can choose a hundred gangs as his subordinates and cultivate them as his confidantes.

When you become the master of Mountain Dew Hall in the future, you will be able to quickly form your own team.

……

After the martial arts competition, Duanlang was able to participate in the celebratory banquet held by the gang, instead of returning to the residence in despair as in the original plot, and being ridiculed by the gang members who pinned their hopes on him.

After the banquet was over, Duanlang immediately began to select the gang members, and Hong Yu's gang was undoubtedly selected. There were more than [-] gang members who usually made good friends with him.

These twenty or so people are his confidantes, and the rest are selected from the general gang.

The gang members of Tianxiahui are composed of two kinds of people, one is the children of the old gang members, and the other is the children who have been admitted to the gang since childhood.

The loyalty of the gang members cultivated since childhood is naturally higher than that of those who bring art into the gang.

But after ordinary gang members join the gang, they have practiced the basic martial arts of Tianxiahui since childhood, and everyone practices the same.

Although there are individual differences in martial arts due to differences in aptitude and understanding, the gap will not be so large that it is insurmountable.

Only after being selected by a certain commander and becoming his direct subordinate, will he be taught by the commander and learn more advanced martial arts.

Therefore, the gang members under the command can be called the elite gang members, and those who do not follow the commander are ordinary gang members. There is a certain gap in status and strength.

This is why Hong Yu and others are looking forward to Duanlang's rise.

They are just ordinary gangsters, but Duanlang brings his art into the gang, has his own unique family knowledge, and the possibility of rising is much greater than them.

……

night.

The Tianxiahui has fallen silent, except for the gang members on duty, everyone else has rested.

Outside the No. [-] Tianxia Building, four black-clothed and masked masters suddenly rushed out of the night without any warning.

The sword light flickered several times, and the gang members on duty in front of the door were instantly killed.

The four of them pushed open the door of the first floor in the world and rushed in, but when they were searching for traces of Xiongba, a group of gangsters rushed out from the building suddenly, blocking their way.

This is the secret sentry in the first building of the Tianxiahui. If the guards of the Tianxiahui were really that weak, the main altar of the Tianxiahui would not be called a dragon's pond and a tiger's den by the world.

The four men in black retreated hastily, apparently they did not intend to fight these dark whistles.

But just as they retreated to the door and turned around, their footsteps stopped and their pupils shrank sharply.

I saw that at some point, the door was blocked by a person.

Curly hair and cold face, black leather pants, and a red cape, but who is it not Bu Jingyun?

The leader of the man in black said in a deep voice: "Hold him, and the others will follow me to kill Xiongba."

"Yes."

Immediately, one of the four people was separated and attacked Bu Jingyun with a sword, while the other three turned around and rushed towards the hidden sentries.

These men in black are not weak in martial arts, but how can someone who can be a secret sentry in the first floor of the world be an ordinary person?
Of the three people under siege, only the leader killed three secret sentries in a row, while the other two men in black died instantly under the sword of secret sentries.

Attacking Bu Jingyun, he walked with the sword and swooped forward, the sword pointed directly at Bu Jingyun's throat, the speed was not slow.

Bu Jingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, he turned around to avoid, and swept the man in black with his cloak like a weapon.

The man in black felt the power contained in the cloak, and he didn't dare to take it hard. He dodged it with a short body, and launched a sharp attack on Bu Jingyun with his long sword.

Bu Jingyun felt that the swordsmanship used by the man in black was majestic and majestic, which seemed familiar.

It's just that it's difficult to judge for a while, and at this moment, the opponent's move is very urgent, so he doesn't have time to take a closer look.

After fighting for more than ten strokes, the distance was widened. When the man in black jumped up and stabbed with a sword, thick clouds and mist emerged from Bu Jingyun's hands, and a majestic momentum emanated from his body.

"call"

Bu Jingyun pushed out his palms, and the two clouds merged into one, and went straight towards the man in black. The palm force was fierce and violent, covering the whole body of the man in black like overwhelming mountains.

"bang"

"Ugh..."

The man in black couldn't dodge this palm, so he had no choice but to raise the power of ten successes, and fought hard with it, but the result was a complete defeat, and he fell to the ground in response.

The leader man in black was taken aback when he saw this, and after forcing him to retreat in front of him, he jumped to catch the falling man in black, preventing him from falling heavily to the ground.

Then he let go of the man, used a sword formula, and attacked Bu Jingyun himself.

This time, Bu Jingyun finally saw the sword technique used by the other party. He couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and shouted in his heart: "It's the Huo family's sword technique. Hasn't the Huo family village been slaughtered? How could he know the Huo family's sword technique? They Who is it?"

Just when Bu Jingyun lost his mind after seeing the Huo family's swordsmanship for the first time, a cloud-dispelling palm force more domineering than Bu Jingyun's came from behind the man in black.

The force of this palm hit the vest of the man in black impartially, knocking him to the ground in an instant.

Li Mu's figure appeared from behind the man in black, Bu Jingyun immediately returned to his senses, cupped his fists reflexively and bowed his head and called out: "Master."

Li Mu had a look of displeasure on his face at this time, and reprimanded: "Yun'er, how can you be in a daze when you are fighting to the death? Are you dying?"

Bu Jingyun lowered his head, and said: "What the master taught is that this disciple knows his mistakes."

While the two were talking, the two men in black who were alive had knives on their necks by the dark sentry.

Seeing this kindness, Li Mu stopped talking, if he continued, he would have to ask him why he lost his mind, how would Bu Jingyun answer this?
This kind of thing that is not beneficial to their master-student relationship may be done by Xiong Ba, but Li Mu will naturally not do it.

He just looked at the two men in black and said: "Take off their masks, I want to see who has the guts to come to the main altar of the Tianxiahui to assassinate the leader of this gang."

"Yes."

Anshao immediately stepped forward and pulled off the veils of the two of them. When Bu Jingyun saw the appearance of the leader, his expression changed wildly.

He discovered that this person looked exactly like his stepfather Huo Butian.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I seem to have seen your portrait before."

He pretended to ponder for a moment, and then he revealed a sudden look, and said: "Huo Butian, the owner of Huojiazhuang, but Huo Butian is dead, so you... should be his twin brother Huo Lie."

Hearing this, Bu Jingyun's expression changed even more, and he raised his heart.

Huo Lie looked at Li Mu with resentment and said, "The information of the Tianxiahui is really extraordinary. I hid it so deeply that I was found out by you."

"Today I fall into your hands, you can kill or cut as you please, if you frown, I, Huo Lie, will be in vain."

Li Mudao: "You entrusted yourself to the Supreme Court to serve in the court of the Supreme. At present, the Tianxiahui has not yet turned against the Supreme. If you come to assassinate me, you should come to avenge your brother."

Huo Lie closed his eyes, and said in pain: "It's a pity that the sky has no eyes, and it made me fail."
