Chapter 1255 The Sword God Smiles (XI)

On the table, there is an oil lamp.

Although it was just a little flame, it was enough to illuminate this small guest room.

This cold night is destined to be sleepless.

Therefore, Duan Keyi had no intention of going to bed at all.

He sat at the table, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing.

For a master of his level, this level of rest is enough to restore the physical and mental energy he lost during the day.

"To deal with an old man like me, why do you need to mobilize so many troops..."

Suddenly, he spoke like this.

Before he finished speaking, he had opened his eyes and reached out to the sword on the table.

Almost at the same time as his hand grasped the scabbard, a burst of "puff-puff-dong-dong" suddenly erupted around it.

That... was the sound of a hidden weapon penetrating the window paper and wooden boards.

Not only doors and windows, but also walls, ceilings and floors are penetrated by hidden weapons...

Facing such an attack, it is impossible to dodge; even if the person being attacked holds a huge shield in his hand, it may not be guaranteed to be unscathed. What's more, Duan Keyi has only one in his hand. A sword.

Fortunately, it was not an ordinary sword.

This sword is called "Ban Xuan" because part of "Xuan Iron" was mixed in when the sword was made.

Here is a quote from Mr. Jin Yong's description in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" - "This black iron is the most precious treasure in the world. It is extremely difficult to get even one tael. Among ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds, as long as half a tael is added, ordinary Iron stands as a weapon."

Obviously, the amount of black iron added to Master Duan's "Half Xuan" is far more than "half a tael of money"; although it is different from Yang Guo's 100% black iron, which weighs 8,864 kilograms. The heavy sword is still far behind, but it is more than enough to deal with the situation at hand.

Duan Ke also saw Duan Ke stomping on the ground with one foot, jumping up, his right wrist moved quickly, and the sword light followed lightly.

Relying on the magnetic properties of black iron, he blocked hundreds of hidden weapons shot from all directions with a seemingly simple turning movement.

despair--

After a breath, Duan Ke also fell from the air and touched the ground with one foot.

The soft sound of landing had already told people outside the room...the target was still standing.

This was naturally not the result they wanted. The purpose of their visit today was to make Duan Keyi lie down forever.

Therefore, their offensive is not over yet.

Pa hua hua——

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of sounds of broken boards, instantly bringing out two strong figures.

The two men jumped out from under the floor and appeared on both sides of Duan Keyi, instantly forming a pincer attack on him.

And this... seemed to be within Duan Keyi's expectation.

He knew very well that the sound of his landing would determine the direction and method of the enemy's invasion.

So he drew his sword almost without thinking.

The first sword hit the person in front of him on the head... The person jumped up from downstairs. He thought he could kill Duan Keyi by surprise, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was killed.

Although Banxuan was not as good as the "Four Great Divine Weapons", it was still extraordinary. Before the sneak attacker could scream in agony, the Tianling Cap had been chopped into pieces by a sword, and the entire head was split in two from top to bottom.

Blood splashed on Duan Keyi's face, but he didn't even blink. His hands were still steady and strong...

Driven by this hand, Banxuan turned his sword edge, drew a semicircle on his side, and slashed horizontally at the sneak attacker behind Duan Keyi.

Before the sword edge came into contact with the man's body, Duan Keyi knew that the other man was certain to die.

With many years of experience and excellent ear skills, Master Duan can know the approximate body shape, age, and internal strength of the opponent just by listening to the sound of the opponent breaking through the floor; so he is convinced that this person will never be able to take on this A sword.

And the reality was just as he expected...

The second sneak attacker reacted to Duan Keyi's sword move. He raised his blade to block the sword. Then, his sword was broken, his arm was broken, and his torso was also broken. .

The internal strength gained from practicing Tongzi Kung Fu for more than fifty years plus the sword moves that have been refined over time will be like this when faced with the sword style of a second-rate swordsman.

In Jianghu, a place that doesn't pay much attention to fairness, only the four words "study hard and practice hard" are the most fair.

Duan Keyi's talent cannot be said to be very high, and he has never had any ridiculous martial arts adventures (such as eating strange things after falling off a cliff and greatly increasing his internal strength, meeting a hermit master who taught him magical skills and skills , for some reason he was forced to have sex with a beautiful master and gain all his skills, etc.), but he still became the head of Dian Cang and dominated the world in the name of "Xia Ke".

In fact, many people have done what he did, which is nothing more than "hard training".

But not everyone can add the premise of "persistence" in front of these two words, and not everyone can maintain this kind of attitude even after becoming famous or becoming the leader for fifty years. Hardworking.

scold--

The moment Duan Keyi eliminated the second placer, a sudden change occurred!

At that moment, a sharp steel nail suddenly poked out from under the floor and penetrated Duan Keyi's sole of the foot.

He immediately thought to himself, it seemed... his opponent's intelligence and viciousness exceeded his expectations.

When he was hit, Duan Ke also realized belatedly that not only the previous salvo of concealed weapons, but also the lives of the two sneak attackers... were also a cover.

The real fatal blow was this steel nail.

"I advise you not to move again." After the attack was successful, a rough voice sounded from outside the door, "That will only make the poison work faster."

This did not cause Duan Keyi to have too much emotional fluctuations. The slightly numb pain in his feet had already told him that the steel nail was poisonous.

Squeak--

Soon, the person who spoke pushed open the door that had been shot to pieces by hidden weapons.

In his hand, he held a lantern, and the light of the lantern illuminated the dark room (the oil lamp in the room had been extinguished in the previous volley of hidden weapons), and also illuminated his appearance.

He was a burly middle-aged man, like a human-shaped iron tower; his face and figure, like a knife and an axe, matched his voice very well.

"Tu Ji..." Duan Keyi looked at the man and said coldly, "Duan didn't know... the ability of the Crazy Tiger Gang to hurt people with hidden arrows was so outstanding."

Duan Keyi obviously knew the other party. The person who came was the leader of the Crazy Tiger Gang, Tu Ji, known as the "Tiger-faced Arhat".

"Hehe..." Tu Ji sneered, "That's right, it's because of your excellence... that no one knows about it."

This makes sense, dead people can't talk nonsense everywhere.

"What a pity..." Duan Keyi said, "Compared to this way of dying, I would rather die under the 'Arhat Fighting Tiger Palm'."

"You don't have to use this method to provoke me." Tu Ji's smile was still on his face, "I know what you are thinking... I won't take the bait." He paused and continued, "Master Duan, you and I are very clear in our hearts... Since I chose this method to deal with you, it means that I have already admitted that your martial arts are better than mine; I can even tell you frankly that even if I practice for another ten or eight years, I am not sure I can beat you now."

Hearing this, Duan Keyi's heart sank, he knew... the plan to lead the other party to him was impossible to achieve: "Humph... You are very self-aware."

"That's right... If I didn't have this self-awareness, I would have died countless times." Tu Ji's tone was quite proud of it instead of being ashamed.

Moreover... when he said this, he stood motionless at the door of the room, not taking a single step forward, clearly not giving the other party any chance to fight back.

"Duan Keyi, you are a master, and also an upright hero.

"So. You have the right to be arrogant.

"But... you also have the obligation to pay the price for this arrogance.

"Tonight, it's time for you to pay the price."

As he spoke, the smile on Tu Ji's face disappeared, and his voice became colder and colder: "Don't worry about the Dian Cang disciples you brought with you, they are all waiting for you on the Yellow Spring Road."

Duan Keyi's face was ashen, and his anger accelerated his heartbeat and pulse, and also accelerated the speed at which the poison took effect in his body.

"The Tu surnamed... one day..." Master Duan wanted to leave his last words.

But Tu Ji interrupted him with a cold face: "I know... you can't die well, I've heard this many times, but those who said this are dead, I'm still alive, and I'm living better than them. "

After saying this, he slowly stepped back a few steps. Until this last moment, he did not turn his back to his opponent and did not reveal any flaws.

"Brothers, send Master Duan on his way!"

With Tu Ji's order, another round of concentrated fire from hidden weapons arrived, and this time... Duan Keyi did not even have the strength to raise his sword.

…………

At the same time, in Wang Qiong's mansion.

In this darkest moment before dawn, a figure silently walked out of his room and stood in the empty courtyard.

He just stood there, standing in the darkness where he could not see his hand in front of his face, without saying a word.

After a while, a little light suddenly appeared less than ten meters away from him.

There were two people in the light, a man and a woman.

The man looked at him with a smile, and the woman held a strangely shaped lantern expressionlessly.

"Heh... this gentleman, you got up really early. "Feng Bujue said hello to the other party with a smile.

Cheng Wei stood there, staring at the two people in front of him with cold eyes, without responding.

"We are here to visit Boss Wang Qiong, I wonder... can you go and inform him?" Brother Jue said as if nothing had happened, and made a request without any hesitation.

After another five or six seconds of silence, Cheng Wei finally spoke: "Who are you?"

He asked this question not because he was really going to inform these two people; Cheng Wei just wanted to know... where did these two people who knocked down all the sentries around the mansion and successfully entered the courtyard come from?
