Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 1 Arrest
In the season of autumn, the bleak autumn wind blows from the west, whistling and rolling up countless withered yellow leaves on the ground, and the slightest coolness envelopes the earth.

Shixian County, Liangzhou, on the outskirts of the county seat.

There is a breath of desolation in the sky and the earth, only the clusters of sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms on the roadside still show a little vitality, and the fragrance of the flowers is wafting, refreshing.

Outside a farm yard, there are many figures, and they move lightly and cautiously between them. At first glance, they look quite sneaky.

Chu Tang hid behind an earthen wall, with a stern expression on his young and resolute face, and cold eyes, staring closely at the innermost room of the farm.

At this time, he had a hundred swords hanging from his waist.

Although the knife was in the sheath, his right hand tightly gripping the handle revealed his restless mood.

"Old Chu, everything is ready, what are you doing?" Xu Jin quickly approached Chu Tang to ask for instructions.

He was about the same age as Chu Tang, both less than 20 years old, but facing Chu Tang, he was warm and respectful, and he didn't dare to make mistakes.

In a corner not far away, there were more than a dozen men in the same uniform of soap-colored attire looking at Chu Tang from a distance, waiting for his action instructions.

Chu Tang looked up at the sky, his eyes flickered.

It got dark early, it was evening, and the view was not wide.

After taking a deep breath, Chu Tang calmly said: "Old Xu, let the brothers move, and take down the thief in one fell swoop! Also, be careful and follow the plan, don't..."

"Don't lose your life, the job belongs to the court, and your life belongs to you!" Xu Jin teased as he talked about Chu Tang's consistent catchphrase, "Don't worry, the squad leader, under your Dun Dun's instruction, the arresters of our county yamen Ding squad I am most afraid of death!"

Chu Tang looked at the other party, and said quietly: "Be careful sailing for ten thousand years!"

"Yes, team leader!" Although the two are brothers who have been brothers for nearly 20 years, they have a strong relationship and it is okay to play around, but when it comes to business, Xu Jin dare not say too much, and he was ordered to say goodbye brother went.

As police officers of the Shixian county government, their duty is to crack down on the law and maintain law and order.

Now is the time for them to arrest a desperate bandit who fled to Shi County.

The bandit and others did a lot of illegal activities in Linxian County, where they were severely attacked and fled to Shixian County.

The magistrate of Shixian county ordered the county lieutenant to investigate and arrest with all his strength to ensure the safety of the people in one side.The county captain called Xu Wei, the arresting head of the county government, and ordered him to track down clues and arrest people to solve the case.

Xu Wei instead handed over the case to Chu Tang, who was the head of the police squad at this time.

There are more than 80 arrests from the county government, divided into four shifts, A, B, C, and D, with about 20 people in each shift.

Chu Tang, who had just been appointed as the head of the county government's fast-tracking team for less than half a year, naturally did not dare to be passive and sabotage his work. After many days of investigation, he finally pinpointed the current hiding place of the bandits.

After some arrangements, the arrest will take place today.

According to the information obtained from the investigation, the bandit's name is Li San, his martial arts is at the second level, he is good at wielding a short knife, he is ruthless, he kills people like hemp, and he is quite difficult to deal with.

For the entire Ding squad, currently only Chu Tang possesses martial arts at the second level, and most of the others are at the lowest level, and some even have not yet entered the country. This Li San.

Of course, Chu Tang, who was the most powerful fighter, didn't take the lead in rushing in to arrest people, because he had great confidence in the team he had trained for more than half a year.

3 minutes on stage, ten years off stage, it's time to test the quality of these guys!
Chu Tang's eyes were bright, and he watched his subordinates work in an orderly manner from a distance.

I saw two short, light-handed and fast-moving policemen silently touched the earthen house in the innermost part of the yard, one was under the window and the other was in front of the door.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them took out a small bamboo tube more than three inches long from their arms, poked it lightly through the gap between the door and the window, and then blew a few breaths in through the bamboo tube.

Ok?
What is the difference between this behavior and the door-to-door thief using drugs?
Chu Tang said that there is really no difference.

However, who stipulates that arresting people must be simple and rude, breaking into the door and going straight?The thief is strong in martial arts, ruthless, murderous, what if I use some drugs?
This is an act of love that cannot bear to sacrifice in vain!
Besides, there is no such thing as civilized law enforcement in this world.

It's not honorable, but it's not shameless either.

After a while, there was only a bang in the earthen room, causing the drugged two police officers to peek inside, confirm the situation, and then turned around to make a gesture of solution.

Chu Tang smiled when he saw this, and it seemed that the situation was going well.

Holding the handle of the knife, he strode into the courtyard with great strides, and kept gesticulating with his hands.

The other arresters quickly surrounded them, and with a few clang sounds, all of them drew their long knives out of their sheaths, and advanced forward according to the training formation.

Six people held knives in front, four people walked in the middle with small bows and crossbows, and eight people lay in ambush in every corner of the yard to prevent accidents from happening.

Including the two arresters who had been taking drugs before, including Chu Tang himself, all 21 arresters in Dingban of Shixian County were in place!
It has to be said that these people cooperated seamlessly, their movements were skillful, and they were very organized, obviously after a long period of training.

Chu Tang was extremely satisfied with this. In order to lead this small team of twenty with unequal combat strength, he racked his brains in every possible way, almost emptying out all his knowledge points.

boom!
The dilapidated wooden door of the earthen house was kicked down by a policeman. The policeman with a bow and crossbow took a step forward and shot a few arrows into the room. After rushing in, there was no abnormality before inviting Chu Tang to enter.

If Xu Wei, the chief arrester of Shixian County, was on the scene and saw how cautious his subordinates were, he would definitely scold him, "Damn it, you guys are so cowardly!"

Cherishing life and fearing death to such an extent, there is no one but Chu Tang.

Everyone rushed into the earthen house and started to take people.

A middle-aged man with a fierce appearance fell to the ground!

After all, he is a second-level martial artist who has cultivated inner energy. He can carry some drugs, but it is enough. Others are still awake, but they are weak and their limbs are limp. They were soon arrested and tied up.

It was the gangster Li San. He couldn't believe it and cursed unwillingly: "You... are so shameless! As a member of the imperial court, do you have any shame for using such small tricks as ecstasy and anesthetics?"

Xu Jin stepped forward and kicked him, and said with a chuckle: "What rules and morals do you have to say when dealing with a thief like you? You are not afraid of laughing at other people's big teeth!"

Li San asked weakly: "I have a second-level cultivation, what kind of drug are you using, it makes me unable to gather Qi!"

Xu Jin boasted: "This is the credit of our team leader. The leader of the team specially invited someone to study a colorless and odorless medicinal powder, which can be dispersed in the air or dissolved in water. It is absolutely necessary for killing people at home and traveling." Good medicine!"

"Enough! Stop talking!" Chu Tang interrupted Xu Jin's showing off.

So much talk, as if they were villains!

Xu Jin laughed endlessly: "Yes, yes! What is there to talk about with a dead person?"

"You...don't talk about martial arts! You will die!" Li San was full of unwillingness and struggled endlessly.

Not to mention that he was drugged at this time, even if he was in a normal state, it was impossible to break free from the thief rope specially refined by the imperial court.

The thief-binding rope is made of special animal tendons, and it was specially refined by the imperial court to bind strong men in the Jianghu. People with a cultivation level below the four realms, once tied by this rope, can only accept their fate obediently.

Hearing that Li San dared to talk stubbornly, Xu Jin went up and gave him another big mouth: "I hate you double-standard dogs the most! What are you looking at, oh, you don't understand what double-standard means? Our team leader Having said that, you kind of gangsters and thieves, who kill people with no lower limit, and at the same time shout about loyalty and virtue, are double-standard dogs. I'm going to hit you, this kind of dog!"

"Boy, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to cut your throat and pierce your intestines!" Li San roared.

"Do you still dare to speak hard?" Xu Jin sneered, "You have no chance in this life, wait for Qiuhou to ask you to kill."

Li San laughed out loud, like crazy: "My elder brother will avenge me! You just wait for me!"

"I'm waiting!" Xu Jin responded with a smile.

But Chu Tang sensed that something was wrong, and took a careful look at Li San, who seemed to be relying on him, and couldn't help but feel moved, secretly observing the indoor situation.

The layout of the house is very simple. There is a dilapidated wooden bed in the corner. Although the mosquito net is hung up, there are many holes and patches.

In the middle is a square wooden table, with holes and holes on it, which is extremely old.

Four benches surround the table, two to the side and two further away.

"Huh?" Chu Tang focused slightly, and quickly glanced back to the table.

There are only teapots and teacups on the table, nothing else.

One teapot, five or six teacups...

After glancing at the teacup, Chu Tang's pupils shrank slightly, but he remained calm, turned his head slowly, and told the other arresters: "Since the thief has been arrested, quickly take it back to the county government and report it to Chief Xu, so that the arrester can Confess to the county captain. Tie it up tightly, don't let the thief get away!"

The arrester who bound Li San coaxed him to promise, patted his chest and said that he would be careful to bring back the thief smoothly to claim credit for the reward.

Chu Tang didn't talk nonsense, and waved everyone out of the house, while he dragged behind, watching everyone leave, and finally pulled a bow and crossbow from a fast catcher's hand and held it in his hand.

After all the arresters went out and walked far away, without further ado, Chu Tang turned around and shot three arrows directly under the wooden bed in the room with a bow and crossbow.

Whoosh whoosh!
This is a continuous shooting crossbow. Although it is only small and its lethality is not as good as the normal type, it is faster and easier to operate.

I saw three small arrows quickly sinking into the bottom of the bed, first with a puff, then with two bangs.

The sound of the first shot was relatively soft, as if something had been shot, and the next two shots were hard-on-hand sounds.

Suddenly, with a bang, the wooden bed jumped up from the bottom, and the wooden planks flew.

A figure flew up from below, and before it landed, its body twisted in mid-air, turned abruptly, and headed straight for Chu Tang.

Amidst the sound of piercing through the air, there was also a silver light flashing, and the sharp breath directly hit Chu Tang's face.

Keng!
Chu Tang seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He threw away the bow and crossbow at the moment the figure flew up, and drew the knife out of its sheath with his right hand.

Swish!
The knife is dazzling and fierce!

Suddenly, the light of the knife collided with the silver light from the piercing air, making an ear-splitting sound.

Chu Tang felt a tremendous force transfer from the blade to his hand, which made his jaw hurt and his arm went numb, and he took a few steps back with his body.

Looking at it again, the figure in the air also fell on the ground, making people see their true faces.

This person is dressed in gray clothes, with disheveled hair, middle-aged appearance, ordinary appearance, but the eyes are quite sharp, with a compelling aura.

He held a short dagger in his right hand, but a small bow and arrow stuck in the upper arm of his left hand, and the blood that flowed from it soaked a piece of his clothes.

"Is this person cultivated in the third realm?" Chu Tang was surprised, he was able to rely on a small dagger to almost knock his Hundred Refined Sword into the air, which was obviously much stronger than him.

And he is a second-level cultivation base, and his strength is not small.

The difference between martial artists below the three realms is more reflected in their strength.If it is said that a martial artist of the first realm has the power of one bull, then the warrior of the second realm is the second bull, and the third realm is definitely above the three bulls.

The difference in these realms, just the strength, is in a crushing situation.

"Who is your Excellency? Why are you hiding here?" Chu Tang forced himself to calm down and asked.

The man in gray looked quite angry, and said in a cold voice: "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so clever. When you realized that I was hiding under the bed, you came up and stabbed people with bows and crossbows. But what I didn't expect was that you were so witty." The benevolence of the people, instead of being coaxed by the number of people, sent all the subordinates away. If you are kind enough to save them, who will save you in the end?"

He immediately revealed the intention of Chu Tang's previous actions.

Chu Tang said expressionlessly, "Who is Your Excellency?"

The man in gray sneered: "When I plunge the dagger into your heart, I will tell you who I am, and let you be a fool. What I am more curious about now is how did you find me under the bed? I held my breath just now, asking myself that I didn’t leak any clues, and I haven’t been out of this room for three days, and I have never shown my face, so it is impossible for you to investigate and find out!”

Chu Tang pointed to the table in the middle of the room, and said, "I can also make you a fool. You see, the other cups are upside down in the middle, but there are two used cups next to each other, obviously Two people drank tea in the room."

"You judge someone else based on the two used cups, which are still hiding under the bed? Can't it be used by the same person?" The man in gray didn't believe it, nor did he accept it.

Chu Tang said: "I made a guess, so I just took a gamble. In the end, I made the right bet, didn't I?"

The man in gray sneered: "Did you bet right? I think your courting death is almost the same. Did you feel uncomfortable just now? I tried it out. You are only a second-level cultivation. I can crush you to death at any time!"

Chu Tang also smiled: "You don't feel good about my arrow, do you? Do you think I've been chatting nonsense with you for such a long time, do you really have a lot of idle talk?"

The man in gray changed his face when he heard that, "What do you mean?"

Chu Tang said leisurely: "You can hold your breath and not be affected by the smoke, but can you stop the drug from entering the blood? Do you feel a little dizzy now, like drinking too much wine?"

"You also applied medicine to the arrow?" The man in gray was furious.

Huh?Why do you want to say another word?

Chu Tang ignored his grief and indignation, and said with a chuckle, "I've been talking so much nonsense with you, just waiting for the medicine to take effect."

The man in gray's face turned black, and he shouted angrily, "I'll kill you first!"

As he spoke, he sprang forward and stabbed Chutang's chest with his dagger.

Chu Tang didn't neglect either, with the horizontal saber in hand, he used the 36 moves of the soul-breaking saber technique that he had practiced for many years.

"Strengthening the Western Mountain", "Dominating the Mountains", "White Tiger Jumping into the Stream"!
The knife style is coherent, flowing clouds and flowing water, the light of the knife is compelling, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Dang Dang Dang, Chu Tang used his saber and saber to block the attack of the man in gray. Although he was knocked back a few steps, he was still not defeated.

"Boy, the "Soul-Breaking Sword Art" handed down by your court is as bad as the street. Who doesn't understand your tricks, how many times do you think you can stop me?" After a few strokes, the man in gray and Chu Tang changed sides. direction.

Seeing that the other party turned to the door, Chu Tang did not run away immediately, but turned around and blocked him, the policeman, in the room.

"You haven't been drugged?" Chu Tang immediately wanted to understand this.

The man in gray laughed straight, "Boy, don't underestimate others when you walk in the rivers and lakes, otherwise you won't know how you died."

Chu Tang's heart turned cold, as expected, this is all right, the hunter and the prey have switched roles!

The man in gray said again: "As I said just now, your biggest problem is the benevolence of women. You seem to be protecting them by taking away your subordinates, but in fact you are putting yourself to death. If you coax me at the beginning On the other hand, since you are using bows and crossbows and drugs, I will run away instead."

"How are you sure I didn't let them ambush you outside?"

"Do you think I'm deaf and blind? They've already left the courtyard. Even if they lay an ambush outside the courtyard, the distant water can't save the nearby fire. It's enough for me to kill you several times."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's make a move." Chu Tang made a defensive move.

"If you want to die, then I'll make it happen for you! Look at my body stabbing!" The gray-clothed man became angry, stopped talking nonsense, swiped his dagger repeatedly, and his body flickered, directly attacking Chu Tang's vital points.

Chu Tang blocked the right branch from the left, the danger was everywhere, and he fell into a slump. Every time he blocked his steps, he staggered unceasingly, and the hand holding the knife was trembling.

Seeing that the opponent was defeated, the man in gray was overjoyed, turned the dagger, became more swift and strange, and rushed straight at Chu Tang: "Go to hell!"

It has to be said that not many people in the Jianghu use daggers, and even rarer ones use them well.

The dagger technique of the man in gray is obviously extremely advanced and powerful.

He used a unique move, just to kill his opponent with one move!
Seeing that Chu Tang was about to be stabbed, when the gray-clothed man's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, Chu Tang's staggering steps suddenly became lighter. He was obviously still on the left, and he turned to the right in the blink of an eye.

"This movement..." The man in gray was taken aback, "Not good!"

He counterattacked to defend, but suddenly found that the light of the knife below changed a direction strangely, and even flashed upwards from the bottom!
puff!
The man in gray only felt a pain in his neck, his eyes went dark, and his whole body lost strength.

He held his bleeding neck that had been cut off in half, full of disbelief.

He was actually killed by someone who was a level lower than him!
The man in gray whimpered, "You... this is not the soul-breaking sword technique!"

Putting the knife in his hand, Chu Tang said, "It's really not."

He has been acting for so long, just to use his trump card at this moment.

As the man in gray said, the imperial court's standard "Soul-Breaking Sword Art" is as rotten as cabbage, and anyone in the Jianghu who has a little heart has figured out its mechanics.

To defeat the enemy with this sword technique, unless the cultivation level is much higher than the opponent's, or the talent of the sword is outstanding, otherwise it is impossible.

The gray-clothed man fell to the ground with a bang, and asked with all his energy, "Your...skill...swordsmanship, what is it called?"

Chu Tang was silent.

The man in gray smiled weakly and miserably: "I can't... be a fool?"

Seeing that he had only one breath left and that he really couldn't survive, Chu Tang first wiped the blood on the spatula with his sleeve, and said softly before the other party died completely: "The body can make all kinds of changes, and the knife uses the blood knife technique. "

"God is ever-changing... blood knife technique? No... I haven't heard of it." The gray-clothed man's eyes gradually lost sight, and finally he became silent.
