Chapter 1514 Martial Arts Conference (Snowflakes are fluttering and the north wind is blowing)

On the rivers and lakes, inns are always the busiest places for people traveling from south to north. Heroes, martial arts warriors, no matter who they are, they all have to eat after all.

Same here.

The dining room was full of guests, drinking tea and chatting while staring curiously at the table by the window. On that table sat an old man wearing a blue cloth gown with gray hair, holding a pipe in his hand and closing his eyes to meditate. Opposite him, there was a big girl sitting with two big braids. She was leaning on her hands and staring at the old man.

Seeing that the people were almost here, the old man picked up his pipe and knocked on the table. The noise around them suddenly became much quieter - the stories in the martial arts world are always exciting, and the guests also like to listen to these gossips. The gossip Mr. Sun told was not only interesting, but also very special, and was very popular among the guests.

After all, not everyone can become a charlatan.

Listening to the stories here and imagining the sparks of friction between oneself and the knights is enough for most ordinary people.

The braided girl chuckled lightly and said.

"Grandpa, what are we talking about today? Do you still want to tell the story of the Plum Blossom Thief?"

"hehe………"

Hearing the question from the braided girl, Mr. Sun chuckled.

"The Plum Blossom Thief has nothing to say anymore, that's all in the past."

"But hasn't the Plum Blossom Thief been caught yet?"

The braided girl asked curiously, but Mr. Sun shook his head.

"That's true, so what? In the final analysis, no one knows what the Plum Blossom Thief looks like, what martial arts he knows, and what methods he uses... You can be the Plum Blossom Thief, I can be the Plum Blossom Thief, anyone can do it It’s the plum blossom thief.”

"But, I heard that the real identity of the Plum Blossom Thief is the famous Li Tanhua?"

"That's just a rumor, nothing can be done."

Mr. Sun took a puff of dry cigarette and narrowed his eyes.

"What's more, for today's martial arts world, the Plum Blossom Thief is no longer important."

"oh?"

The girl with braids was very enthusiastic about it.

"Grandpa, where did this start?"

"Because of one person."

At this point, the old man's voice became much deeper.

"A **** of death."

"Grandpa, are you talking about the man who came from Zhongzhou and caused a **** storm in Xiwulin?"

"Yes, it's him."

Mr. Sun nodded.

"You also know that he killed many people, and more people wanted to kill him quickly, but do you know the cause of all this?"

Hearing this, the guests present also pricked up their ears and widened their eyes. They had heard about what Mr. Sun said, and some even witnessed the scene with their own eyes. But as to why all this happened, no one knows. Now that Mr. Sun told the inside story, everyone naturally became excited.

"Grandpa, do you know?"

"Haha, old man, I traveled all over the country and inquired a lot, but in fact... the cause of the whole thing is very simple."

"Simple?"

"Yes, everyone knows that there were rumors before that Li Tanhua was the Plum Blossom Thief, and the Plum Blossom Thief was Li Tanhua. So all the sects sent their proud disciples and elite soldiers to form a team, vowing to capture Li Tanhua. Tanhua is brought to justice."

"That's what happened."

The braided girl nodded vigorously and blinked.

"Did they find it?"

"They found it. They found Li Tanhua in an inn in a small town in Zhongzhou. Originally, they still had a way to survive, but unfortunately, they provoked someone."

"one person?"

"Yes, an Orion. He was sitting opposite Li Tanhua. In fact, that seat had always been his. It was because the inn was overcrowded that Li Tanhua chose to share a table with him. However, those people thought that That Orion was an accomplice of the Plum Blossom Thief, so he attacked him."

"This is too overbearing."

The braided girl pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"Just sitting together doesn't mean they are in the same group. Besides, it's unclear whether Li Tanhua is the Plum Blossom Thief or not."

"Haha... things in the world are like this. Sometimes it's not what it is, but what everyone thinks it is."

The old man chuckled.

"Everyone thinks that Li Tanhua is the plum blossom thief, and then the plum blossom thief is Li Tanhua."

"Then what happened? Did Li Tanhua save that person?"

"He didn't."

Mr. Sun shook his head.

"Because those people were killed by that hunter."

"Why?"

Hearing this, not only the braided girl was stunned, but also the guests around her were quite surprised.

"Isn't that just a hunter?"

"I'm just a hunter, but I didn't say I couldn't kill people."

Mr. Sun sighed.

"Then he came to Xizhou."

"Why?"

The girl with pigtails was puzzled.

"He killed so many people, all of whom were prominent figures from various sects in Xiwulin. Isn't he afraid of the other party's revenge? At this time, he should escape as soon as possible."

"Indeed."

Mr. Sun blew his pipe.

"Seeking revenge is commonplace in the martial arts world. Although things happen for a reason, those people are all elites of various sects. If they die like this, they will definitely not let it go. Not to mention their masters, apprentices, relatives, family members, and friends, naturally they will also He will not take this breath. He will be hunted from all sides until death."

"Then he still dares to come to Xizhou?"

The girl with braids looked incredulous.

"If it were me, I would have gone somewhere far away, changed my name, and lived incognito."

"That's right."

Mr. Sun picked up the tea cup, blew on the tea leaves floating on it, and took a sip of tea.

"Whether he is an accomplice of the Plum Blossom Bandits or not, he has killed so many people from the sect, and everyone will definitely want to seek revenge from him. If he goes to other states, it may be more difficult. But in Xizhou, here, everyone will You can find him and kill him, and in fact, those people did, and then... they were killed by that man."

Having said this, Mr. Sun let out a sigh of relief.

"It has only been a short month since he entered Xizhou, and thousands of people have died at his hands!"

“————!”

Hearing this, the guests present suddenly became noisy. Thousands of people died, which is definitely not a small number.

However, that man actually killed thousands of people in one month? "How did he do it?"

The braided girl looked at the old man with wide eyes.

"It's actually very simple."

"Simple?"

"Yes, he killed people from those sects, and they all had masters, disciples, family members, and friends to avenge them. So as long as these people who come to seek revenge are killed, then there will naturally be people who come to seek revenge for these people. Then kill these people who are seeking revenge, and then there will be more..."

"Isn't this endless?"

The braided girl was stunned now.

"Is he really not afraid of death?"

"Haha, I don't know if I'm afraid of death, but until now, no one has been able to cause any harm to that man. Rumor has it that the man seems to have practiced a very strange kung fu. He is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and a hundred poisons."

"Grandpa, you are exaggerating."

The braided girl chuckled.

"This is not a human being, this is a **** in the sky!"

"I don't know if he is a **** or not, but his ability is real."

Mr. Sun shook his head and knocked on his pipe again.

"The Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Formation in Diancang, the twenty-eight disciples cooperated seamlessly. It is said that those caught in this formation will die or not. However, the moment the twenty-eight long swords hit him, they directly turned into pieces. The Xingxiu Formation was broken - without the sword, there was naturally no sword formation, and all twenty-eight disciples were killed. "

There was dead silence in the dining room, with only the old man's voice echoing in it.

"The Qinghe Gang has been in the Qinghe Basin for decades. The hundreds of warriors and cavalry are invincible, even the imperial army can fight. However, in front of him, even the men and horses were beaten to a pulp. It was too miserable to watch."

"…………"

"The leader of the Huanxi Sect, Indra, is good at using poisons. It is said that he has a unique skill that can make poisons penetrate into other people's bodies unnoticed. Even holding one's breath to protect the body will not help, and even using true energy is difficult to resist. . But when his head was smashed to pieces by that man, there was no trace of Indra Sect Master's poison."

"..."

"In order to avenge the deputy sect leader, the Perak Sect set up a siege and threw hundreds of thunderbolt fire bombs at him when he passed by the cliff. This is the unique hidden weapon of the Perak Sect. Just one of it is enough to make Qingshi It was shattered, hit by hundreds of thunderbolts, and it was impossible to even leave a complete corpse. However, when he walked out, his clothes were not even torn..."

One by one, Mr. Sun told the stories of his deeds, and everyone was already in a state of silence, not daring to speak. Many of them had witnessed the scene described by Mr. Sun, but they did not expect that the battle at that time was so terrifying. So many people are deliberately trying to kill one person. However, instead of being killed by them, this man actually killed them all.

Is this really a human being?

"...In this way, he became a public enemy of Xiwulin."

After talking for a long time, Mr. Sun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"It can be said that up to now, in the entire West Wulin, no one's relatives, friends, benefactors, or enemies have been killed by him, unless he is not a Jianghu guest."

"What does he look like?"

"Eight feet tall, a giant man with an iron tower, no hair, and a ferocious face that can stop a child from crying at night. He always wears black, very strange clothes. It doesn't look like the dress of a person in the martial arts, nor does it look like an ordinary person. All in all, you can recognize him when you see him, because there is nothing weirder than what he wears.”

"What weapon did he use?"

"He doesn't use weapons."

The old man shook his head.

"He only relies on a pair of fists, not even gloves, just physical fists. But he can break gold and crack stones. No matter how sharp the blade is, it can't withstand the power of his punch. Therefore, everyone also gave him a nickname. No.—Invincible Iron Fist!”

At this point, the old man paused.

"The Iron Fist is invincible Duanmu Huai, that's his name."

Iron Fist is invincible.

Because he has never lost along the way, he is naturally invincible.

Because if he loses, then he dies.

But he is still alive and well.

"What on earth is he going to do?"

"No one knows."

"Will the others let him go?"

"That's why we're here, isn't it?"

Mr. Sun chuckled and turned to look out the window - in the mountains there, the ancient temple was clearly visible.

"Western Shaolin holds a martial arts conference, calling on everyone in the martial arts community to gather together to defeat the God of Death."

"Killing God?"

"It's also his name. After all, he has killed so many people, and regardless of whether he is male or female, old or young, anyone who dares to attack him, even if it is just a child, will be trampled to death without mercy. Therefore, those who hate him , they all call him the God of Killing. Now, many people are here, the Fourth Master Long from Longxiao Villa, the masters ranked in the weapons spectrum, the three sects and nine sects, the ten sects and eight sects, all the major leaders have arrived as promised..."

Upon hearing this, the girl with braids' eyes lit up.

"They are all here? So, will he come too?"

"I'm already here."

At this moment, a deep voice sounded and a tall figure appeared.

He just walked out of the crowd. With his huge body, it should have been impossible for no one to notice him, but in fact, no one noticed his existence before he appeared.

The braided girl's eyes widened in surprise, she covered her mouth and looked at the man in front of her. He was just like what grandpa said, eight feet tall and with a terrifying face, like a prehistoric beast. He was wearing clothes that were different from anyone else's. It was strange and opened in the middle, like a long coat made of some kind of animal skin. Tight clothes like training clothes and a pair of long leather boots. There is also something similar to an ornament pinned to his chest - it is a golden skull.

When he stood up, there was deathly silence all around. Almost everyone seemed to feel some indescribable aura of terror, and sat tremblingly on their chairs, motionless. And he just walked to Mr. Sun's table, and then took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

"That's good, old man, but I think you can describe my appearance more artistically. At least I don't think I'm that vicious."

As he spoke, he touched his chin, then turned around to leave.

Seeing this scene, the braided girl's heart moved and she shouted.

"Please, please wait!"

"Um?"

Duanmuhuai turned his head and looked at the braided girl in front of him.

"Anything else?"

"I, I want to know, what do you want to do? You have killed so many people...how many more do you want to kill before you stop?"

"It's not up to me, little girl."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"It depends on how many people come to kill me. The more people come to kill me, the more I kill. You see, it's that simple."

"But, but... if this continues, when will the injustice be repaid?"

"You're right."

Faced with the curious inquiry from the braided girl, Duanmu Huai smiled and nodded.

"I'm here to find the answer to this question."
