Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Cage Fighting

In the dark night, the streets around the "Xiangyun Inn" were still silent. Not a single member of the Wudang faction answered Jing Li's challenge. But Jing Li, as well as Shimadzu Hu Linglan in the courtyard below, could clearly feel that Wudang's encirclement net was slowly tightening. ——They had no plans to fight one-on-one. Jing Li certainly understands why: these Wudang people are not warriors today, but avengers. There are at least four people on the other side.And these people must be specially selected elites.It was completely different from Jing Lie's five fights with Wudang faction in the past, this time he didn't choose an opponent, but the opponent came to him.This time he was the hunted.

It is the best tactic in this situation to attack one direction first and break out of the encirclement. This is such a bad situation where the few outnumber the many. I have encountered it a long time ago, how can I not understand this truth? Jing Li evokes memories, thinking about the topography of the streets around the "Xiangyun Inn" seen during the day, and looking for the most favorable direction to break out. ——The only Wudang man who spoke just now, his voice came from the east side of the main entrance.This person must be the leader, and the most martial arts is the strongest one, don't worry about it.

——The west back door is the closest and easiest route to escape.But the other party had already sent spies to arrive, so they must have figured out this point, and they must have sent strong troops to defend. ——In the south, beyond the inn, there are dense alleyways as soon as you go out.As long as you get there, the opponent is in the complex streets and alleys, it is more difficult to encircle and attack.best choice. Jing Li made up her mind and signaled to Hu Linglan below. At this time, Hu Linglan had also thought that these "Wu Dan" killers came here after following her in the city, and she was very annoyed.The other party didn't know the relationship between her and Jing Li at all, so they must regard them as companions at this time - not to mention that she had indeed killed one of the other's spies.In this hunting net, she is also the prey.

But even if the Wudang faction ignores Hu Linglan, she will not stand idly by. ——Whoever wants to kill Jing Li before me has to ask my Nodachi! "Breakthrough to the south!" Jing Li said to her in Japanese. The two didn't wait any longer—it would be too late if the encirclement net was tightened—simultaneously, they rushed along the roof tiles above and the courtyard below, rushing towards the row of rooms to the south. "Huyanda over there!" A voice sounded from the height of the night.That was Chen Tong, a disciple of "Shou Snake Road", standing on the roof across the street from the inn, condescendingly spying on the enemy's movements.

Jiang Yunlan at the main gate in the east, Shi Hong at the back gate in the west, and Li Shanyang in the north heard this prompt, and ran at the same time to join the attack in the south! Hu Yanda, who guards the south side of the inn, has already drawn out the "Still Life Twin Swords" with gray and black blades.He knew that it was impossible to intercept and kill the upper and lower enemies at the same time with his own strength, and decided in his heart that stopping the "Hunter" was the most important thing. He stepped on the wall and used his strength to jump up to the roof, and raised his sword forward to meet the thorn crack.

When Jing Li saw the black shadow coming up, he didn't hesitate, and swung the oar longer than his height horizontally with one arm with his right hand! Although Hu Yanda is not yet qualified to practice "Tai Chi", since he joined "Soldier Crow Dao", he has been trained by Ye Chenyuan himself for more than a year.Facing the heavy blow from the oars at this moment, he dared to resist with both swords. The left and right swords struck and swung at the same time. Although it was not as powerful as "Tai Chi" to eliminate the opponent's strength invisible, he still blocked the oars to his feet. The end of the oar smashed a big hole in the roof, and the fragments flew in all directions!

The five-foot Japanese sword in Jing Li's left hand was cut out again! ——He wields two long and heavy weapons with one arm on the left and right, showing an astonishingly violent force! Hu Yanda still didn't dodge, the two swords made a double cross, this time he blocked the Japanese sword with strength, and sparks flew everywhere! Hu Yanda knew that the most dangerous thing was not the oar or knife. ——The most dangerous place is below. Less than a moment after blocking the Japanese sword, the sharp blade of the wild sword pierced through the roof tiles like a spear, and hit Hu Yanda's crotch!

——It was Hu Linglan who had already fled into the room below.This thrust was accompanied by the exclamation of the guests in the room. Hu Yanda was not stabbed - he had already planned for Hu Linglan's pincer attack.With a "slanting flying momentum" of the body, the horse sank to the side, dodging the stabbing knife point. Taking advantage of Hu Yanda's body slanting down, Jing Li stepped forward to pass him from above - Jing Li's primary goal at this moment was to break through the defense line to the south of the inn. But Hu Yanda is more tenacious than Jing Li imagined.When the "slanting flying momentum" was sinking, Hu Yanda actually took the opportunity to store up his strength and draw the bow, and pulled it out as soon as it sank, the "double swords of still life" pierced Jing Li's head, face and chest without the slightest sound of wind. .

With a vertical flick of Jing Li's Japanese sword, he easily blocked the two swords in one go.But the pace that originally wanted to jump over the past was blocked because of this. For Hu Yanda, this is enough. Before facing Jing Li's left and right bows, he didn't choose to dodge, but reluctantly blocked; then he ignored Hu Linglan below, and took the risk of counterattacking Jing Li with his two swords... All these were to block Jing Li for a short period of time. ——Enough time for fellow students to arrive. Of course Jing Li knew. He already felt a strong murderous aura, pressing against his neck.

For Jing Li, this is a very familiar feeling. ——If I can't die like this, I will become a master. Jing Li turned around, and the oars and Japanese swords in his left and right hands turned into whirlpools and stormy waves, rolling towards the rear.In this way, operating a pair of heavy soldiers with both hands at the same time is an extremely labor-intensive style of play.But there's no choice - when you don't even know if you'll be alive after the next blink, what energy is there? Jing cracked the oar in his right hand and rolled it towards Jiang Yunlan who was coming from the east.Jiang Yunlan's left iron claw pressed against the ridge of the ancient long sword in his right hand, and blocked the oar with both hands.As soon as the force on the oar was gone, Jiang Yunlan's left hand had already dived under the blade, and the iron claw firmly grasped the oar.

At the same time, Jing Li cut the Japanese sword with his left hand to Shi Hong who was rushing towards the west.In Shi Hong's hands, the pair of four-pointed and nine-edged Ziwu Yuanyang axes intertwined like scissors, and the reverse blades like deer antlers precisely clamped the Japanese sword's edge. Jing Li's left and right soldiers were blocked at the same time. Then there is the fourth person in Wudang. Li Shanyang was on the roof, and every step he took was a loud bang.With a final step on his feet, his bear-like body flew forward into the air, and he raised the simple swastika knife above the top with both hands, and slashed Jing's cracked head vertically with all the strength of his whole body! The weapons in Jing Li's left and right hands were all sealed, and the middle door was wide open, completely defenseless. The joint attack of the three Wudang "Soldiers and Crows" masters exceeded what Jing Li could handle.Death is at hand. ——But Jing Li also has companions. Right between Li Shanyang and Jing Li, a figure came out through the roof. It's Hu Linglan.She stepped on the beam of the room below, jumped out of the broken tiles, and Nodachi slashed "Shanyin" horizontally in time, and fought with Li Shanyang's Pudao—— Pu Dao's edge was only bounced away two inches above Jing Li's head.Jing Li had no time to rejoice that he survived.He immediately judged that Jiang Yunlan must be the strongest person, and it was useless to pester him, so he decisively let go of the five fingers of his right hand and gave up the oar, and changed to holding the handle of the Japanese knife with both hands, and forcibly pulled the blade from Shi Hong's mandarin duck lock clip Come out with a toothsome metallic scrape. As soon as Jing Li's Japanese sword broke away from the Yuanyang Yue, he immediately reversed the blade and stabbed behind him, forcing Hu Yanda who had seized the opportunity to attack from behind to force back. Only then did Li Shanyang fly back and land.He didn't expect to encounter Hu Linglan's double slash, and the strength of Ye Tai Dao's concentration was even more comparable to his own Pu Dao. The tall and strong Li Shanyang had difficulty controlling his body for a while, and when his feet landed on the tiles, he exerted too much force , stepped through the roof, and fell into the room below. Although one person was forced to retreat, the formation of the other three Wudang masters fighting together at close range was completed.Dire situation. ——Especially when Jiang Yunlan made a real move for the first time. The snake step of "Wudang Xingjian" was like walking on the flat ground on the tiles, and he quickly slid a step obliquely. The sharp edge of Jiang Yunlan's ancient long sword was already pressing on Jing Li's brow. Jing Li dodged in time with his neck sideways, and the tip of his sword scratched his forehead, flying Jing Li's scarf and letting go of his braided hair. Extremely fast sword.Jing Li, whose forehead was bleeding, finally knew the mood of Song Zhen, the head of the Qingcheng faction that day. There was a burning sensation in the left shoulder.It was Shi Hong's mandarin duck axe, the rear edge of the fish tail cut through the big red flower tattoo on Jing Li's shoulder.The stamens spattered with blood. If it wasn't for Hu Linglan coming again and forcing Shi Hong away with a slash, and Shi Hong's mandarin duck on the other side came again, Jing Li might not only suffer this blow. Hu Yanda's "Still Life Twin Swords" attacked Jing Li's lower body almost simultaneously and silently.Jing Li Shen Dao just blocked it. Under the pincer attack of three "Soldier Crow Way" masters, Jing Li couldn't even make a move, and he had already hit half of one move.If this continues, within seven moves, he will definitely die. Hu Linglan tucked the saber at her waist, forming a "reversed threat" stance, standing against Jing Li's back.Jing Li held high the Japanese sword as the "eight phases" structure.The postures of the two naturally formed a tendency to cover each other and make up for each other. Jing Li knows: the only hope of survival is to rely on this Japanese female swordsman who wanted to kill him not long ago. Hu Linglan thought the same way. Jiang Yunlan had already thrown away the oars he had snatched.With a roar, he raised his sword and attacked again.That nose-bumped face full of scars looked like a mad beast. Jing Li twisted his arms, and held the Japanese sword in both hands to slash horizontally and backwards. The target was the right side of Jiang Yunlan's neck. The Japanese sword is much longer than Jiang Yunlan's ancient sword.Jiang Yunlan adopts the strategy of not dodging or evading to enter close range. The iron armored claw of his left hand turns into a chopping palm, and he blocks the blade of the Japanese sword to the right. Seeing that the sword was about to hit, at the last moment, Jing Li let go of the hilt of the knife in time with his left hand and retreated - although the back of his hand was still cut with blood by the point of the sword. Jiang Yunlan thought that this fast sword would at least cause Jing Lie to lose two fingers, but he still narrowly dodged it, and was surprised. ——Although this "hunter" has not mastered martial arts, he has an instinctive reaction like a beast! Seeing that Jing Li had such potential, Jiang Yunlan became even more murderous - if he doesn't kill him tonight, God knows how far his martial arts will improve when he meets him next time? At the same time as Jiang Yunlan was sharpening his sword, Shi Hong, who was wielding the Yuanyang Yue, had already dived to the left side of Jing Li, ready to seize the moment when Jing Li was most defenseless, and deal a fatal blow. Just now, Jing Lie had already concluded that among the four Wudang warriors, Shi Hong was the number two figure after Jiang Yunlan. Of course, he had always been wary of him, and had already caught a glimpse of the blade light of the mandarin duck from the corner of his eye. But he ignored it.Because he knew that Hu Linglan would come to cover her. Sure enough, the light of Hu Linglan's Nodachi shrouded in front of Shi Hong, forcing him away again with the long blade. With Hu Linglan's cover, Jing Li was able to concentrate on dealing with Jiang Yunlan.Following the momentum of the "Yuhui" slash just now, he kicked Jiang Yunlan's striker's right knee with his left leg like a whip! ——This technique of sandwiching leg strikes between saber moves comes from the martial arts of the Siamese royal family; but this leg sweeping technique is also a move he learned in the South China Sea Tiger School when he was young. ".In addition to the "Yuhui" slash, Jing Li's chain of one move and two moves combined the martial arts of three ethnic groups. Jiang Yunlan is proficient in "Wudang Xingjian" footwork, how could he easily be swept away by this kick?He lightly shifted his weight, retracted his right leg and easily dodged it. Unexpectedly, Jing Li's real intention was not to kick him at all.That "iron pan foot" changed his move halfway, kicked a kick on the tile surface, and kicked a big hole. "Get down!" Jing Li called out in Japanese, while holding Hu Linglan's back with her left hand.Together they passed through the hole and fell into the house below. The two suddenly disappeared from the roof, and Huyanda, who was attacking from behind, suddenly flew into the air. Jing Li and Hu Linglan landed in the dark room.That was the room that Hu Linglan broke into just now, and the occupant had already taken the opportunity to flee in panic. Jing Li calculated: on the empty roof, it is completely useless to be besieged by Wudang warriors; on the contrary, in this narrow room, there may be a glimmer of life. "Go in!" Jiang Yunlan shouted.Hu Yanda jumped down the hole first, and when he was in the air, he danced with double swords and flowers to protect himself from surprise attacks on the way. At the same time, a panel wall exploded.It was Li Shanyang who had just landed in the next room, who broke through the wooden wall with the "Wudang Horse Slashing Saber Technique" and attacked. Hu Linglan also knew about Jing Li's plan.She wielded the Nodachi violently and chopped up the furniture and debris in the room.Jing Li also frantically swung his knife.It was as if the two of them started a storm, and sawdust and sundries were flying in the already dark room, making it even more invisible. But Wudang four people, how can they give them a chance to escape in this chaos?Li Shanyang and Hu Yanda attacked first.Swords cross.Then Jiang Yunlan and Shi Hong, who jumped down, also wielded their weapons, trying to circle to the side, trying to form a siege in the room again. Sparks flew all over the place, and every burst of light reflected the instant moves of the six people in the room. It is a test of skill and courage to carry out group battles in the darkness where things are difficult to see. In addition to making moves, you have to risk the danger of accidentally injuring each other with your companions. None of the six were afraid. Dozens of clusters of sparks burst out in succession again.The sound of metal clashing is like strung together into an urgent battle song. Then came the muffled sound of flesh being cut by metal.Blood flower followed by blood flower. A caged deathmatch of six beasts. Then, the wall of the room facing the street burst open outward.
There is a sword proverb: "The heart is the commander, and the eyes are the vanguard."If the sword wants to be fast, the eyes must first be trained to be fast. There is a practice method of Qingcheng School martial arts called "Watching the Rain Gong".As the name suggests, it is to use the eyesight to catch the raindrops that are dripping rapidly and frequently—of course, it is not only practiced on rainy days, but on weekdays, water is sprinkled on the branches and leaves of trees, and then the trees are shaken to let the drops fall. This "Rain Watching Skill" is practiced by Qingcheng sect disciples from the mountain gate and above for a stick of incense every morning before class, and it must be practiced until they can clearly see the raindrops. As Yan Heng is a "Taoist disciple" in Qingcheng, this technique is of course successful. In his eyes, the large group of black shadows that entered through the paper window at this moment was like the raindrops he saw when he was practicing.The speed and angle of their flying can be seen clearly. Yan Heng quickly judged that the only gap between the black shadows could allow a person's body to escape completely.His body was pulled up immediately, and flashed into the gap. But after all, he was attacked suddenly, and he was hindered by tables and chairs while sitting at the banquet, so he was still a little slow. There was a burning pain in the left cheek and shoulder. In addition, the ten or twenty black shadows flew past around him like black meteors. scream.Behind Yan Heng. It was the three "Wanhuachun" waiters who were waiting on him, each of them was hit by two or three arrows, and they fell down on the ground and moaned mournfully. Yan Heng inspected his body.His cheek was only slightly scratched, but a short arrow was nailed to his left shoulder.Fortunately, it didn't hit the joints, and Yan Heng's shoulder muscles were extraordinarily thick, so the arrow didn't penetrate deep into the flesh. Looking at the row of tattered paper windows, behind each pane, there are two men holding short crossbows. Yan Heng looked back at the waiters who were injured and fell to the ground.In order to set a trap to hunt him down, the Mapai gang even shot down innocent outsiders -- no wonder they didn't use their own servants, they had such a sinister plan in the first place.Such thoughts are also vicious. ——Why am I so stupid! Yan Heng regretted it.Cai and his son completely deceived him. "Substitution! Shoot again!" Cai Kun's voice came from outside the window.The more than twenty crossbowmen in front of the window retreated, and immediately filled in another group, all the bows and crossbowmen in their hands had already been reloaded and set arrows. "Send!" Cai Kun gave an order.A new round of crossbow arrows was fired.This time, he focused more on Yan Heng who had nowhere to hide in Ting's heart. ——For the Mapai Gang, dealing with this young swordsman of the Qingcheng School is tantamount to hunting tigers, leopards and ferocious beasts! This round of crossbow arrows was aimed more accurately and concentrated, but for Yan Heng, it was easier to dodge than the scattering all over the sky just now.He moved sideways quickly with one step, and almost all of the twenty or so arrows missed, only one shot in the direction Yan Heng was hiding because it deviated, but he chopped it off with a wave of "Dragon Thorn". ——Swinging a sword and cutting an arrow in mid-air at such a close distance is impossible for ordinary people.However, the swordsmen of the Qingcheng School are not ordinary people. Cai Kun originally thought that Yan Heng, who was trapped in the secret room, would definitely turn into a hedgehog after the two rounds of crossbow volleys, but the astonishing speed of Qingcheng's kung fu skills was beyond his imagination. But Cai Kun is an unusually meticulous person. "Come again!" The team of crossbowmen who retreated just now came back again.This time they replaced their hands with hunting bows—although the ones they used just now were single-shot crossbows, they were banned by the people after all. There were only a few dozen of them privately hidden by the Mapai Gang, and it was too late to use them after shooting them. Therefore, in the third round, ordinary hunting bows were used to shoot arrows. This time, Yan Heng already knew the situation clearly, and did not miss the opportunity for the opponent to change teams. He felt a burning sensation in his back. "The method of borrowing phases - burning the body with fire"! The flame of fantasy activates Yan Heng's body reflex, and the whole body leaps towards one of the windows at high speed.The body forms a straight line at the same time, and the "Dragon Thorn" stabs out "Star Chasing the Moon" like a javelin. ——Yan Heng has been practicing "Borrowing Phases" in the past, but it is still in its infancy, and has never been used in duel training or actual combat.At this moment of life and death, he used it naturally without even thinking about it. This "Star Chasing the Moon", which was twice as fast as killing the ghost knife Chen Shi, penetrated the archer's shoulder blades like nothing. Yan Heng drew and sent his right hand again, the "Dragon Thorn" retracted and stretched again, stabbing another archer in front of the window again.After the two collapsed one after another, the people outside the house saw what had happened, and they knew the speed of the two swords.The archer in front of the window next to him couldn't help calling out in panic. Yan Heng followed the momentum of rushing forward to kill, and stretched out his left elbow to hit the window pane, trying to break through the trap through the window.Not wanting his body to bounce back when touched, he took two steps back. —The panes and frames of the windows are cast iron! When he stepped back, Yan Heng suddenly felt that his left foot was a little vacant.Not only that, but the left side of my body also felt slightly numb. Feeling ominous, he glanced at his left shoulder and immediately came to his senses. He hastily pulled out the short arrow still nailed to it and threw it away. When the arrow was pulled out, a little bit of grayish blood spilled out. Look at the three waiters who fell to the ground.The poisoned places are all black. — There is poison on the arrow! Cai's father and son specially built this iron cage and stone room at home, and arranged it as a banquet hall as a trap; they used poisonous arrows to shoot in turn; in order to kill one person, they would not hesitate to shoot innocent people who didn't know it at the same time... Yan Heng was only moved for a while. My heart is chilling, I never thought that the people in Jianghu are so sinister, they have reached such a point. —— Such a beast, I released him twice! At this time, an object was thrown from the outside to the window in front of Yan Heng.Yan Heng backed away in time, and the object burst when it hit the iron window grille, spilling a puddle of liquid.Yan Heng could smell it, it was oil. Then someone fired a rocket.The arrow hit the oil on the pane and burst into flames. The archers all retreated from the windows one after another, and threw oil into the cooking bowls to light the fire. After a while, the entire row of windows caught fire.The locked iron door behind was also set on fire. This time, thick smoke hit his face, Yan Heng's body began to be poisoned again, and it was even more difficult to breathe. The team of archers moved away from the burning window and fired again inside.Arrows pierced the black smoke intermittently, and it was even more difficult to dodge than before. Yan Heng had to concentrate on dodging or parrying with his long sword. ——The Ma Pai Gang's hunting methods emerge in endlessly, and they must have started planning as soon as Cai Tianshou escaped and returned. The whole hall is like a hell burning with fire, and the breath of death has filled the room.Yan Heng was gradually feeling dizzy due to poisoning. "Shoot! Shoot again!" Cai Tianshou shouted excitedly from outside: "Whoever shoots him dead will be rewarded! Give his body and sword to the Wudang faction. With the support of Wudang in the future, our Mapai gang is not here yet." Sichuan rampant?" Yan Heng, who was already dizzy and weak-legged, woke up instantly when he heard "Wudang". Being deceived by the cunning lies of Cai's father and son; being attacked and killed by the Ma Pai gang's vicious schemes one after another... For Yan Heng, hearing these two words is even more exciting. A huge energy rose from the belly to the chest. That energy, called "anger".Burning hotter than this cage. Yan Heng dodged the two arrows and dodged in front of the iron gate.Smoke was coming from the cracks in the door frame, and it was burning outside. He held up the "Dragon Thorn" and used the "Qingcheng Fenghuo Sword" move "Thunder Falling Mountain" that cut Tong Jing's sword. The extremely sharp sword of Qingcheng Mountain cut off the door bolt as thick as three fingers without hesitation! Yan Heng slammed open the iron door, ignoring the flames in front of the door, and rushed over, finally breaking out of the sealed hell. He landed in the atrium garden, rolled over on the spot, and extinguished the fire on his body. But at the same time, a shadow descended from above. A huge hemp rope animal trap descended from Yingyan's head, covering his whole body. The eight Ma Pai Gang men yanked the rope together and tightened the beast net quickly.Yan Heng's body, together with the beast net, was pulled off the ground and hung in the air. Yan Heng escaped from one trap and fell into another. Death, like that snare, clung to Yan Heng tightly.
