Konoha Aogen

After leaving "Xixia Mountain", Ye Xuan felt a subtle change. At first he thought it was because he was too worried. After all, he was always too worried about things like this. Until it became increasingly obvious later, he could only reluctantly accept the fact: along the way, fewer people were sending them medicine, food, and supplies, and more thieves were robbing them.

Ye Xuan and Lu Jin didn't have any good ideas for this, so they had to hurry up. Even if they rush on the road, they don't dare to really reduce their purchases and instead kill camels for meat. After all, this place is still far away from "Kurong City" and there are still many camels that will die on the way back. Not only did they not dare to kill camels, but when passing through villages along the way, they also purchased some mules and horses from the villagers as backup. Most of the mules and horses purchased from the village were skinny and old. However, forces larger than the village were no longer willing to trade with the camel team.

In recent days, Ye Xuan could hardly sleep at night, and later he transferred Mu Qing'er, Can Ying, and Gu Yan back to the head of the team. With Mu Qing'er by her side in the tent, she could barely sleep peacefully. Lu Jin was quite puzzled by this ridiculous deployment of combat power, quite disdainful, and quite dissatisfied. Fortunately, this place is not too far from the "Tianhe". Lu Jin only hoped that after reaching the north, Ye Xuan's mind could return to normal.

…………

The width of the Tianhe River is completely different from the small tributaries in the south. People who grew up along the Tianhe River will hardly feel a sense of horror when they see the "Sea of ​​Silence" for the first time.

The water in the Tianhe River is fast, and there are many vicious fish in the river. Once an "amateur" who has not practiced Qi falls into the water, most of his body will be gone. Therefore, the ferries on the Tianhe River are generally much larger than those on ordinary tributaries. Even the smallest "board boat" can carry more than 20 people.

Ye Xuan and his party set out from the "valley where the gold bricks are buried" near "Yanxicheng" and traveled for more than two months before finally arriving at "Ninggang".

"Ninggang" is the nearest large port to "Kurong City" besides "Peigang". Even so, it still takes more than 800 miles to go around "Ninggang". As long as he can avoid "Pei City" and "Hu Kang", he is willing to travel thousands of miles away.

At this moment, there are more than thirty "large cargo ships" waiting in the river, but they are unable to dock. These cargo ships have a deep draft and can carry a hundred camels each. They are hired by "Geng Siyi", the sponsor of Kurong City's "Criminal Law Department". Although the camel team carries a small number of "message crows", it is still difficult to accurately convey the message. "Letter crows" only fly one way, and only three or four out of ten of them can return home. While the camel team is on the move, back-and-forth communication is even more impossible.

"Geng Siyi" wanted to be thorough, so the cargo ship had been waiting at the "South Bank of Tianhe" for more than half a month. In order to prevent anyone from tampering with the cargo ship, they brought 200 people from the "Prison Guards" and 300 people from the "Security Corps" to escort the ship. At this moment, all the strongmen of "Kurong City" came out, and the guards of "Ye Palace" and "City Lord's Mansion" returned. It is almost entirely protected by "yamen soldiers". If it is attacked by experts, it will be like an empty nest.

As soon as he arrived at "Ninggang", Ye Xuan felt something was wrong. Afterimage and Lu Jin's expressions also turned solemn.

Dozens of cargo ships hired by "Geng Siyi" were all crowded outside the port. Docked at the port were seven "building ships" that were larger than cargo ships. There are three floors in the main cabin of the ship. It is estimated that each ship can accommodate at least a thousand people. Above the pure black flag fluttering at the top of the mast, a python-like white wave snakes. That's the flag of the "Hang Gang".

Ancient emperors called the world their country and their country their home. Although the "Hang Gang" is not as rampant as Rama in the past, the meaning of this flag is that it clearly regards "Tianhe" as its own.

"Ninggang" is very large and can accommodate at least thirty large ships to dock at the same time. However, with the seven large ships of "Hangbang" stationed in the harbor, no one dares to use the other ferry corridors. In addition to the cargo ships hired by "Geng Siyi", there are more than a hundred ferries, cargo ships and large fishing boats, all of which are hanging outside the harbor. The inside of the harbor is empty, while the outside is covered in silt. Such magnificence can only be compared to the emperor.

When Ye Xuan and his party were stranded at the port and could no longer make any progress, a not-so-tall man slowly walked out from the "main cabin" of the "center" ship among the seven ships. He was wearing a black shirt and a silver lining, and had a graceful gait. strict. Six others followed him. Seeing movement on the "main ship", three or five people from the other six ships also walked out of the main cabin.

Seven clusters of figures, sparsely scattered, stepped off the seven giant ships, passed through the ferry corridor to the river bank, and finally gathered together. There were at most less than thirty people in the group, but Ye Xuan suddenly wanted to retreat. He felt as if the entire "Xiaoyun Mountain Range" lay between the "Camel Team" and the "Tianhe" and could no longer cross it. What's even more terrifying is that the mountains are moving, pressing towards him with a silent roar.

"Hang Gang's Hu Kang, please speak to Mr. Mu." The leading man cupped his fists and saluted, his eyes accurately fixed on the woman in white with light gray eyes. The word "Mr. Ye" was not mentioned. Mu Qing'er turned her head and looked at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan nodded slightly, wanting to give her some comfort, but there was uncontrollable fear in his eyes.

"Hello, Gang Leader Hu, I am Mu Qing'er." Mu Qing'er stepped forward and greeted Hu Kang. Ye Xuan took a closer look at Hu Kang at this time. He was half a head shorter than himself, and seemed to be a few inches shorter than Mu Qing'er. In terms of thick eyebrows, the hidden black pupils are like peas, a circle smaller than ordinary people, and the eyes are like torches, not angry but powerful. A three-inch long beard covers the corners of his wrinkle-free mouth, telling his age and declaring his seniority.

In the Imperial Era, men who had not entered the "aging period" often wore "beards" to show their age. Nowadays, this style is no longer popular in the north, and it is still followed south of the Tianhe River.

When Hu Kang saw that Mu Qing'er heard his name, he did not say that he had admired him for a long time or that he was honored, so he skipped some polite words and said bluntly: "We have been waiting here for 'Mr. Mu' for more than two days. Please allow me to give Mr. Introduce all my friends." Mu Qing'er looked at the people in front of her, frowning slightly, thinking: "How long will it take for these many people to be introduced, how can I remember them?"

Hu Kang turned sideways and pointed his right palm upward toward a man with a beard nearby: "This man is the leader of the 'Sword Alliance', Senior Chu of 'Chu Tianqiong'."

"Hey, Gang Leader Hu is a hundred years old, so he doesn't dare to be called a senior." Chu Tianqiong waved his hands and smiled, and then gave a shallow salute to Mu Qing'er without saying anything.

Sword Alliance. The shorter the name, the more important it is. Before the "Battle of Glacier", there were far more swordsmen in the world than swordsmen, but "Xiao Yin and An Xiu" happened to be both swordsmen. After that battle, countless warriors abandoned their swords and used swords. The "Sword Alliance" was born at that time.

The "Sword Alliance" is not an independent sect, but an alliance where sword wielders from all over the world come together to discuss and make fun of those who use swords. "Chu Tianqiong" is the second leader of the "Sword Alliance".

Of course Ye Xuan knows this person. Anyone who became famous in "Heart Sword Season" and is still alive today should not be underestimated. Today's "Chu Tianqiong" is five hundred and two years old. For a warrior in the "drought realm", he can be regarded as "in his twilight years" and will "age" at any time.

"This person is 'Sang Shoutong' of Jingwei Escort Bureau, Mr. Sang." "Jingwei Escort Bureau" is the largest escort bureau in the world. More than 90% of the cash transfers of "Tonghui Bank" are handed over to "Jingwei Escort Bureau" Escort. "Mowen Tower" also has business dealings with this escort agency, but "Han Ying" and "Sang Shoutong" have no personal friendship.

"This one is the sect leader of the Luoye Sect, Mr. Yanhe Yan." Ye Xuanzai listened to Hu Kang's words carefully, but his eyes skipped his voice and scanned the crowd. Suddenly her pupils shrank, and Xixia's "Qiu Shimai" was among them!

Their eyes met, "Qiu Shimai" looked slightly embarrassed and smiled apologetically. It turned out that after Ye Xuan and his party left "Xixia Mountain", the news that "Xixia" was defeated by "Konoha" soon spread throughout the cities in the south with "Xin Crow". At this time, less than half of the people in the audience were the fathers, brothers, or elders of the clan.

This time the powerful people gathered together, regardless of everyone's inner thoughts, the superficial reason was to seek justice for "Jiao and Gan", and secondly to stand up for "Xixia". In addition, "Hu Kang" wrote an invitation in his own hand. Although "Qiu Shimai" was reluctant, he had to come.

"These six people are Xiong Qingsi, Liu Chengyin, Yu Mei'er, Meng Huangping, Jiang Tongyan and Yu Man from my 'Hang Gang'. Mr. Fei Mu is not worried." The twenty-six people in the room finally came together one by one. Pass. Mu Qing'er had heard of most of the names, but she couldn't clearly compare all the faces with the names after just saying them briefly.

Ye Xuan's heart grew colder and colder as he listened to Hu Kang's roll call. From the "Hang Gang" to the gang leader "Hu Kang", all six "dry generals" were present. The remaining 19 people are all famous celebrities and martial arts masters who have become famous for a long time.

When these characters go out on weekdays, they are always greeted by people. However, today he was standing alone next to "Hu Kang", with no one with his disciples or followers. Next to "Hu Kang", other sects only have one place. The same goes for "Chu Tianqiong", not to mention "Qiu Shimai".

Ye Xuan also noticed that among the nineteen people, only "Chu Tianqiong" answered when "Hu Kang" spoke, and the rest of them remained silent until he read his name. Chao Muqing'er cupped her fists lightly. Fortunately, among these names, no one is named Xue, no one is named Feng, and no one is named Mo.

After Mu Qing'er gritted her teeth and greeted everyone, she looked at Hu Kang without saying a word. She was just waiting for Hu Kang to explain his purpose. In Hu Kang's view, Mu Qing'er's indifference was undoubtedly a form of contempt. She should humbly say, "I am very frightened when I see all the celebrities." She should take the initiative to ask, "What advice does Gang Leader Hu have when he comes here this time?"

However, she didn't say anything, and just looked at Hu Kang blankly. I don’t know if she was scared or not when she heard these names; I don’t know if she was angry or not when someone blocked her way like this. Hu Kang could not see or read anything in Mu Qing'er's eyes.

What's even more hateful is that since they met, Hu Kang said dozens of words to Mu Qing'er, but she only said, "Hello, Gang Leader Hu, I am Mu Qing'er." After that, she was speechless.

Ye Xuan knew that he could no longer let his senior sister and Hu Kang talk like this. He walked up to Mu Qing'er, cupped his hands and said, "I, Lord Ye Xuan of Kurong City, pay my respects to Gang Leader Hu and all the heroes."

"Lord Ye City, I have long admired you." Hu Kang hugged Ye Xuan's fists, and then turned his eyes to Mu Qing'er: "Sir, when you come to the south this time, you will play with the gods, open ancient tombs, slaughter Jiao Gan, and defeat the sunset. Such a graceful , all the heroes present were fascinated. Therefore, I invited Hu to come and pay a visit together."

"Yeah." In Mu Qing'er's opinion, the man in front of her still didn't explain clearly what he wanted to do, so she hummed, indicating that she was listening, and asked him to continue talking.

Before Ye Xuan could answer, Hu Kang was already angry, and his voice gradually turned cold and stern: "I'm waiting for you to come here because of two things. First, Mr. and Mrs. Jiao Huai must have an explanation. Second, the incident at Xixia , when there is an end."

Ye Xuan's left hand holding the knife tightened. He thought secretly: "The 'Jiaohuai couple' should not be from 'Hu Kang'. Is my information wrong, or are the southern warriors really so united? No, the real 'fire source' is Xixia, and the 'culprit' is this Jinshan Mountain. In other words, it was the northerners who moved Jinshan from the south." As for the blasphemy and tomb robbing, I'm afraid there is no chance and no need to explain.

"Afterimage" and "Lu Jin" heard a deeper meaning from "Hu Kang"'s words - Mr. and Mrs. Jiaohuai, just have an "explanation", what really needs to be "settled" is the Xixia incident. With such an obvious hint, they thought Ye Xuan must have understood it, but unfortunately Ye Xuan did not. His mind has been mostly eaten away by fear.

Seeing Mu Qing'er's thin lips slightly parted, Ye Xuan hurriedly took over the topic. He was very afraid that Mu Qing'er would directly ask Hu Kang, "What do you want?"

"Mr. Jiao Huai and his wife brought a group of cavalry and archers to lie down at the mouth of the valley, threatening and blackmailing me. In order to protect ourselves, we had no choice but to fight against them. As for the Xixia incident, I have already had a misunderstanding with Senior Sister Qiu. Understood, the martial arts competition was purely for Senior Sister Qiu’s pleasure, and neither side was seriously injured. I wonder where Gang Leader Hu’s words of ‘ending’ came from?”

Regarding the matter between Jiao and Gan, Ye Xuan felt that he had told a big lie in public, but the afterimage and Lu Jin standing behind him couldn't help but frown and shake their heads. In fact, as long as Ye Xuan insisted that it was "Jiao Huai and his wife" who led the crowd in a sneak attack and were later killed by his own side, that would be enough. Hu Kang obviously did not focus on this matter this time. He only had to add the sentence "You can't just listen to one side of the story. You will have to find out in detail in the future." This section was passed by. However, Ye Xuan's statement clearly admitted that it was a "conflict", which was extremely stupid.

When Ye Xuan spoke, Hu Kang turned his head slightly and looked at him. When Hu Kang spoke for himself, he still only looked at Mu Qing'er: "In the Xixia Mountains, it is a good story to make friends with martial arts. However, my niece is very stubborn and strong. After losing for a while, she admires her even more and wants to see her again. Ask your husband for advice. I am afraid that it will be difficult to see your husband in the clouds and mud. As an uncle, I have no choice but to stand up for my niece."

When Qiu Shimai heard this, his face turned red. He clearly came here as a threat to everyone, but Hu Kang's statement turned out to be that he was begging him to come to the scene. When "Qiu Shimai"'s father "Qiu Jingshui" was alive, she had a close relationship with Hu Kang. Although she fell out with her family, she would still call him "uncle" when she met Hu Kang.

"Clan Leader Hu is going to compete in martial arts?" Mu Qing'er asked lightly.

"In this discussion, we are still friends, and we have no intention of embarrassing you, sir." Hu Kang responded warmly, but it seemed that there was no comparison. He had already decided with his words, and the other party had no room to refuse.

Mu Qing'er turned her head and looked at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan knew in his heart that this situation was completely different from that in "Xixia Mountain" that day. Hu Kang came here to compete in martial arts, or in other words, to represent the southern martial arts community and come for a show. And with such a battle behind me, I want to hide from this matter

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

It is absolutely impossible. "Please tell me, Gang Leader Hu, how to compete. It doesn't matter if you win, or if you lose." Ye Xuangong asked earnestly.

Hu Kang was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Xuan's always interrupting, but he had no reason to get angry, so he could only respond: "As a member of the congregation, I can only point out the point. However, the sword has no eyes. If unfortunately it is damaged, press According to the rules of the river and lake, all parties are not allowed to seek revenge. If Hu is defeated, the 'Hang Gang', starting from the gang leader, will lead their horses and kick them off, and respectfully send 'Mr. Mu' across the river. Please take this 'Water Dragon Song' from him as well. There is also this The seven small boats should be used as an apology for delaying Mr. Mu's return journey."

Water Dragon Yin is Hu Kang's personal weapon. As for the seven tower ships, it is not difficult to add them together to replace a small town.

After a moment of pause, Hu Kang continued: "If Hu is lucky enough to win even half of the attack, he won't take the weapon from 'Mr. Mu'. However, although 'Jiaohuai and his wife' were rude in the first place, they may have brought it upon themselves. But after all, he died at the hands of the noble faction. We might as well do the same thing at the same time. The two friends who started killing people left the 'murderous hands' behind."

Hu Kang had already found out that the murderers were "Nizi Hanxing" and "Lingchishou Guimo". Since Ye Xuan was confused and could not shirk the matter completely, he had to ask Jiao and Gan for a " statement". In Hu Kang's view, "two palms" in exchange for "two lives" is almost partiality.

Gui Mo and Han Xing looked at each other after hearing this. For a moment, Gui Moth glared at Hu Kang angrily, while Han Xing still had a stern look on his face, only slightly tightening his left hand on the scabbard.

"The Lord of Kurong City is here, but you want to challenge the City Lord's woman. Hu Kang, a common man, you want face but not shame!" The two fleshy palms of Gui Mo and Han Xing flashed in my mind, and they were cut off at the wrist, and their bloody fingers were twitching with the soil on the ground. In the picture, Ye Xuan's cleverness and cunning were finally torn apart by the sharp claws of fear!

The frustration, embarrassment, grievance, and resentment accumulated in my heart during the long journey home burst out through the gaps in my heart. "I went in such a big fucking circle and traveled an extra 800 miles with two thousand smelly camels. Why? Even a fool can tell that I'm avoiding you! To save your face, I have no shame myself. But you are chasing me here, forcing me to do so. If you only extort money, that's it, but you also want to destroy me, Xiao Mo and Han Xing! Damn you, I really think that I, Ye Xuan, am afraid of you!" Ye Xuan roared in his heart. , the anger in his eyes was about to burn through Hu Kang's pupils.

Hu Kang finally started to look at Ye Xuan. He was stunned for a moment and had no time to get angry. After a moment, he sneered loudly: "Hahahaha...you?"

"Don't you dare?" Ye Xuan's voice was low and hoarse.

Hu Kang's anger slowly emerged, and he thought to himself: "Based on your status, it is not inappropriate for the 'Kurong City Lord' to seek a war with the 'Hang Gang Leader'. But the whole world knows that you are hiding under the skirts of senior sister. Dandy, if you fight with me, you really don’t know how to die.”

"How do you want to compete?" Hu Kang stared at Ye Xuan, not hiding his disdain.

"Decide the outcome, decide life and death!"

When Hu Kang heard this, his head buzzed. Of course he is not afraid of Ye Xuan, but this step will put him in a difficult situation. "If we really kill him, the blood feud in Kurong City will be forged, and it will never be resolved. If Mu Qing'er is really a 'locust', even if he is too scared to cause trouble today, the woman will die. My concubine, there is no guarantee that she will not come to seek revenge in the future. It is enough to seek revenge from me. If this country woman does not abide by the rules of the Central Plains and slaughters my clan's wives and concubines and kills my disciples and subordinates, what should I do? I prefer Ye Xuan's face. If you shout such decisive words in public, if you don't kill him, where will the face of me, the leader of the gang, go? For the current situation, I can only break his leg bones first, and when he is rolling on the ground and howling in agony, I will condescend to him. Only by showing mercy can we have both ends." Hu Kang thought to himself.

Everyone in the room was shocked and inexplicable when they heard Ye Xuan's words. Ghost Moth's red lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were wet and red. Even Han Xing was slightly moved. Mu Qing'er looked at Ye Xuan and shook her head gently, but Ye Xuan didn't look at her, only stared at Hu Kang.

"Okay, I'll follow your words. Win or lose, life or death!" After Hu Kang said that, he turned to look at the six Hang Gang subordinates: "Today, I, 'Hu Kang', may die at the hands of 'Kurong City Lord', some Anyone who dares to seek revenge will be like digging up my grave or whipping my corpse!"

Xiong Qingsi, Liu Chengyin, Yu Meier, Meng Huangping, Jiang Tongyan, Yu Man. Five men and one woman all knelt down on one knee: "Respect the leader of the gang!" Among these six people, there were Hu Kang's disciples, Hu Kang's lovers, and brothers who had become sworn brothers with him. In this solemn occasion, they all came to help. Everyone bowed their heads.

Hu Kang turned around and looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes clear. Ye Xuan sneered, followed Hu Kang's example, turned around and lectured: "Today, I, Ye Xuan, may die at the hands of Hu Kang. Anyone who dares to seek revenge will dig up my grave or whip my corpse!" The afterimage immediately appeared. Kneel down on one knee: "Respect the young master's life!"

Gui Mo, Han Xing, and Lone Goose hesitated for a moment, then imitated the afterimage appearance and half-knelt down to take orders. Han Xing and Lone Goose spoke in cold voices, while Ghost Moth murmured with tears in her eyes. No one knew what she said. "Shi Liuba" led the soldiers to stand in the formation, refusing to kneel down. It was neither his turn nor his need to avenge the city lord.

Mu Qing'er stood beside Ye Xuan, motionless and silent.

"Senior sister, you have no choice but to do what I just ordered. If I die today, I will listen to Xiaoying from now on. Do you understand?" Ye Xuan looked into Mu Qing'er's eyes and said softly, with a meaning of farewell in his words.

Mu Qing'er and Ye Xuan looked at each other, still only shaking their heads slightly. This time, Hu Kang finally caught a hint of emotion from those pale gray eyes.

"Kneel down and repeat." Qian Qian said in four words. The tone was softer and warmer than before, but there was no room for change.

After a long silence, Mu Qing'er bowed her head and knelt down slowly: "If you die, I will listen to Xiaoying." Her voice was trembling and her tone was decisive.

Hu Kang stood opposite, and the more he looked at it, the more something seemed wrong. Which show are these two acting in? What exactly does Ye Xuan want to do?

"Back off." Ye Xuan said softly, but it sounded like he was saying good night.

Mu Qing'er stood up and retreated very slowly, her gaze fixed on Hu Kang. She held the black bamboo tightly in her right hand and held out the iron lotus in her left hand, as if she was ready to kill at any moment. A woman in light blue clothes walked up to Mu Qing'er, gently held her left arm with her right hand, and whispered something. Then she retreated again and returned to the formation with the woman, still holding on to the hidden weapon in her left hand. Seeing Mu Qing'er's anxious and anxious look, Hu Kang felt relieved. The thought that flashed through my mind just now dissipated immediately.

Hu Kang raised his right hand slightly and spread his fingers slightly. In an instant, someone handed a black "iron whip" into his hand. It was Hu Kang's weapon "Water Dragon Yin". The iron whip is not a soft whip, it is also made of black iron, and belongs to the same category as Mu Qing'er's "Xuan Bamboo-Ink Festival". But compared with the "Xuanzhu", this "iron whip" is shorter and thicker, and the "joint synapses" of the whip body are not as smooth as the "Xuanzhu".

There was no need for Hu Kang to say anything. After receiving the iron whip, everyone behind him consciously retreated ten feet away. I saw Hu Kang's feet slightly spread, his iron whip pointed at the ground, his left hand held empty, with his back behind his back, standing proudly, and looking at him with disdain: "Ye City Master, I'm here to invite you. Are three moves enough for you?"

"it is good!"

Hu Kang and Ye Xuan were more than seven steps apart. The word "hao" entered their ears, and a touch of gray cut straight into their necks. Hu Kangtuo was not fully focused, and he was thinking about whether to cut off Ye Xuan's two palms after breaking Ye Xuan's leg bones. In the blink of an eye, I couldn't see clearly when and how the "lancet" on the opposite side was unsheathed!

Ye Xuan slashed quickly, and Hu Kang retreated even faster, but the "long black beard" under his chin failed to keep up with the master's wind-like movement, and along with that touch of gray, it flew in all directions.

Hu Kang was shocked. Under the glare, the two pea pupils that were originally smaller and brighter than ordinary people shot out like black stars in the daytime. At this moment, he didn't care about the embarrassment of "beautiful beard messy in the wind", let alone the verdict of "cutting off a person's hand". As he retreated, the "iron whip" in his right hand instinctively pointed in front of him to block the incoming phantom.

Just a little casually and it will be thunderous! As soon as Ye Xuan missed the hit, he immediately used the force of the forward attack to push forward, but was forced to get closer by the "iron whip" that hit his chest. He had to twist his waist slightly and slide to the right, holding the "grey white whip" in his hand. "The light knife" drew a semicircle, and tilted the opponent's right wrist holding the "iron whip" from bottom to top.

Hu Kang's right arm shrank slightly, and after a muffled "dang" sound, Xue Zang fell silent and the iron whip roared. Mu Qing'er's black bamboo has never made such a sound, and I don't know whether Hu Kang's iron whip added some weird auxiliary materials to the black iron during refining, or whether there is something strange about the whip itself that is difficult to detect with the naked eye. structure.

The moment the knife and whip collided, Ye Xuan immediately felt that the "light knife" in his hand was drawn towards the "right rear" of Hu Kang's body by a sticky force. Hu Kangji cleverly used the "whip body synapse" to follow the force of the sword, twist his waist to the right, and lift the iron whip to guide the enemy's weapon to the direction pointed in his heart.

The force of stickiness disappears at the first touch. The next moment, Hu Kang's "iron whip" followed the momentum of Ti Mo and drew a large circle in the air. With the force of a mountain roar and a tsunami, it moved from bottom to top, fiercely and inexorably towards Ye Xuan's legs. Go away!

At this time, the "light knife" in Ye Xuan's hand was hanging by the right side of Hu Kang's neck, which was the right side of Hu Kang's neck where Ye Xuan's first sneak attack failed. At this time, with just one stroke of the sword, both parties will die together. However, Hu Kang is absolutely sure that the other party will not do this!

Hu Kang had exerted 100% of his strength in that swing, and it was impossible to turn around. Ye Xuan's light knife can be used to wipe out horizontally or retreat. If this is the case, then he will never wipe it out. Even if he really wants to die, no man can help but protect that place in the midst of lightning and flint!

Everything was exactly as Hu Kang expected. Ye Xuan withdrew the knife, lowered his shoulders, and bent his knees. His left hand held the right hand that was tightly grasping the handle of the knife, and the gray-white light knife was sealed between his legs. All actions were done in one go, without any hesitation or thought. .

"Cang!!!" There was a thunderous explosion, and under the huge earthquake, Ye Xuan's body rose into the air.

"Shameless!" Just a moment before Ye Xuan was knocked away, a sharp and mean curse, with contempt from the dark abyss, penetrated into Hu Kang's ears like a mosquito. He suddenly realized that in front of all the heroes, disciples, brothers, concubines and even the Northerners, he vowed to say "I will give you three moves." However, there was a flash of gray, and the words he just said dissipated faster than the fart he just let out, without even a trace of aftertaste.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already fought three moves, but Hu Kang didn't give in even one move! The so-called "giving way" means allowing the opponent's swords, fists and feet to attack you, so that the attacker can dodge, block, but cannot counterattack. When the opponent makes a second move, one move is considered complete; when the opponent makes a fourth move, three moves are considered complete. Ye Xuan slashed the neck with a horizontal knife, Hu Kang stepped back and reached out to touch the opponent's chest. The opponent's back moves were forced to change, so it was counted as "not giving up a single move."

Hu Kang's mind was in a state of confusion, and his strength in swinging the whip was reduced by half, so that the speed at which Ye Xuan was knocked away was also slowed down by half a minute. Just this half, leaving a slight chance.

Under the huge earthquake, Ye Xuan's body rose into the air, his energy and blood surged, and his arms were numb. Ye Xuan has long been accustomed to controlling his soft and numb arms. After all, the person he has been sparring with since childhood is named Mu Qing'er. As soon as his body was in the air, Ye Xuan twisted his waist slightly to the left, and shook out a sword with his right hand. At the last moment before he floated out of the battle circle, he tapped Hu Kang's "right wrist vein" and drew a blood hole that was about an inch long.

What he was shaking was the sword, but what he was using was the "point" technique in the sword move. What's more mysterious is that even if Hu Kang's strength slows down by half a minute, his power can still collapse the mountain. Ye Xuan's body is shaken up very quickly. At this time, it is difficult to touch the opponent's wrist no matter with a knife or a sword. At the same time that the blade was shaking out, Ye Xuan used his inertia to turn the blade over, with the back of the blade facing down, and the reverse edge pointed out. The crescent at the end of the lancet formed a curved hook, and it penetrated Hu Kang's right wrist.

A cold feeling on my wrist, and a chill in my heart. Hu Kang concentrated on facing the enemy and no longer dared to think about giving way. The moment Ye Xuan landed on the ground, he used his knees to bend slightly and immediately jumped forward, refusing to stay where he was for even a moment. Gain power with one move and advance step by step!

This time, he gave up the charming and erratic "Lan Bu" movement technique, opened and closed it wide, struck and attacked, and fought head-on. His right arm was shaking, he stepped back and turned around, handed the sword to his left hand, bullied his body and raised it again. A light sword actually used the "whistle" technique of black bamboo and iron whip. Amidst the loud noise of swords and whips colliding, the sound of dragon roars continued for a long time. Hu Kang was even more surprised that this thin and slender "lancet" had been in direct contact with his "iron whip" for more than ten times, but it had not been damaged! Even if it is made of "black iron", it should be curled and sunken.

There was another roar and blood splashed onto his face, and finally Ye Xuan, whose left hand began to tremble, was forced back. With the smell and warmth flowing into his lips, Ye Xuan handed the knife back to his right hand with a sinister smile on his face. The small bleeding hole on Hu Kang's wrist vein had now opened a deep seam and could no longer be closed.

The moment his wrist pulse was first scratched, Hu Kang wanted to hand the "iron whip" to his left hand, but he couldn't make up his mind. He was afraid that the whip held in his left hand would not be able to block Ye Xuan's sharp knife.

The moment Ye Xuan handed the sword to his left hand, Hu Kang wanted to hand the "iron whip" to his left hand, but by then the wound had widened and the defeat was complete. He wanted to kill Ye Xuan quickly while he was holding the sword in his left hand. Unfortunately, Ye Xuan's left-hand sword skills were not too clumsy.

After Hu Kang was injured, he thought twice and found out that everything was correct. The only mistake was that he shouldn't have yelled "I'll give you three moves"; the mistake was that he should still care about his face after seeing that gray patch; the mistake was that he shouldn't have given his opponent... any chance.

"That's enough, stop!" Ye Xuan rejected "Yu Meier's" plea with a light slash.

Just as Hu Kang feared, his left whip could not stop Ye Xuan's sharp right hand. What's more, his life is slowly draining away from his right wrist. After a while, Hu Kang's right leg, left leg

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

Arm, two more blood wounds were added, but the "dragon roar" of the iron whip did not sound again. Ye Xuan's physical skills returned to their dark charm, and the "grey light sword" refused to collide with the "iron whip" again.

Hu Kang's attacks became slower and slower, and there were more and more blood stains all over his body. However, no one of the 19 sect masters and sect leaders who were watching came forward to stop. Firstly, Yu Mei'er has already tried it, but Ye Xuan clearly refuses to give up; secondly, the words "win or lose, life or death" are still ringing in his ears, forcing the end of the game not only offends Ye Xuan, but also slaps Gang Leader Hu in the face; thirdly, Unless everyone takes action together, whoever takes action first will have to face Mu Qing'er alone. "A pool of dirty blood and broken white ground" near the battle circle clearly alerted everyone in the field.

When the third knife wound appeared on Hu Kang's body, "Xiong Qingsi", the sworn brother he had sworn to when he was young and now sitting in the second position of the "Hang Gang", finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the formation with a knife, approaching Hu Kang and In Ye Xuan's battle circle, the "silver-backed ring knife" stood up, pointed at Ye Xuan and shouted: "Stop!"

Almost at the same time, an "Iron Lotus Seed" carrying a strong wind and roaring roar suddenly broke through the air and struck directly at "Xiong Qing"'s four right cheeks.

"Xiong Qingsi" heard the sound and understood the situation, twisted his body and withdrew the knife to seal his head and face. There was a thunderous sound, and the blade blocked Tie Lianzi, but under the collapse, it pressed towards the master's face. The "puff" sound of the collision of steel and flesh was suppressed by the lingering sound of the collision of gold and iron. It could not reach the ears of everyone at all, but the scene was clearly visible.

The ring knife was released, and "Xiong Qingsi" lay on his back with his nose and mouth sunken. His mouth was full of white teeth, and half of them were broken into pieces, which he swallowed into his stomach along with the blood and water. The remaining larger ones were sprayed on the ground along with the sticky pulp when he was choked by the blood, water and teeth and turned over and coughed.

"Meng Huangping" and "Yu Man" wanted to step forward and drag the "Deputy Gang Leader" away, but before they could get closer, they saw mud and mud flying half a foot away from "Xiong Qingsi", and another "Iron Lotus" struck arrive. Mu Qing'er issued a warning in this way, no one is allowed to approach the young master! Whether it's killing people or saving people.

In order to save the life of the "deputy gang leader" and to avoid making the same mistakes again, Meng Huangping retreated. Yu Man hesitated for a moment and then withdrew from the formation. In the end, "Xiong Qingsi" gradually recovered his mind, and he struggled to crawl far away from the battle circle while the world was spinning around him, before he was picked up by the rest of the group.

"Come together! Save people!" Yu Meier waved and shouted to everyone, but she didn't move first. Hu Kang was starting to feel weak before his eyes, like a black panther riddled with holes and struggling to survive in a corner, using his last strength to attack rather than defend, hoping to trade his life with the opponent. The "iron whip" hit Ye Xuan's top door from top to bottom, completely ignoring the emptiness in his chest and abdomen. The black shadow swayed, a gray light flashed, and the left hand holding the "iron whip" fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, the deepest and longest bloody mouth cut Hu Kang's body into two parts.

Under the white clouds, a flock of white geese passed by. Black star-like pea pupils, eyes blurred. Hu Kang looked at the last scene, and with the last remaining strength of his body, he uttered the last sigh of his life: "Trick me..."

Until the white clouds and white geese turn into a black mass; until even the black has lost its color. Hu Kang never hated Ye Xuan or Mu Qing'er until his death. He just felt that "those people" had tricked him.

When thousands of camels and a thousand riders gathered on the outskirts of "Xiyun City", Hu Kang found out who the visitor was and even vaguely guessed what was going on, but he didn't want to pay attention to it. Seeing the camel team circling Xixia and retreating, he secretly praised Mu Qing'er for being sensible.

But gradually, gradually, the camel caravan got closer and closer to the "Tianhe", and more and more visitors came to Hu Kang's house. Especially after the battle of Xixia, the already popular "Hang Gang" chief helmsman became even more numerous. Later, even "Chu Tianqiong" from the "Sword Alliance" arrived.

Yi Gan and others, those who usually listen to him, and those who don't, seem to praise him as the "leader of the martial arts alliance" "south of Tianhe", and turn this money-making nonsense into a dispute between the north and the south. . He knew what these people were thinking. Three-thirds of it was greed, three-thirds was jealousy, and the other four-quarters were because his mother had lived a comfortable life for too long and wanted to see the fun!

He doesn't want to go. Na Mu Qing'er came and went without provoking herself. The route they chose was clearly filled with awe. Although he didn't know Mu Qing'er's birthday, he knew that he was old and could probably be considered an elder. What's the point of going to a fight with a girl with a beard? What if Mu Qing'er is really a "locust"? What if he accidentally loses to her with half a move? Wouldn't his whole life's reputation be ruined?

But, but, when he finally caught a trace of ridicule, a trace of disappointment, a trace of sympathy in some people's eyes... he agreed. Seven giant ships braved the wind and waves from "Pei Port" to "Ning Port", but the owner of the ship never came back. At least, not fully back.

Ye Xuan stood beside him and heard what Hu Kang said, but had no idea what he was talking about. He squatted down, pulled out the five fingers of his severed hand, and took out the iron whip. He did not dare to close Hu Kang's wide-open eyes. When he stood up, Mu Qing'er and the other five people had already rushed into the room and gathered behind him. Hu Kang died and Xiong Qing was left disabled. The remaining five members of the Hang Gang looked at each other for a moment, not knowing who should step forward to speak.

Ye Xuan turned around and handed "Water Dragon Yin" to the hand of the residual image, and then took the scabbard that Gui Mo picked up from the ground. He did not wipe the blood on the knife, and also skipped the "taking the knife", which is the customary pretentiousness of a warrior before putting away the knife, and directly Gently sheath the "Snow Dirty".

This situation, wiping blood and taking a knife, all have the meaning of "provocative demonstration", and he does not want to cause trouble again. It's just that the scabbard, which is stained with blood inside, will probably stink soon. "Snow dirty", "Blood dirty". Thinking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth unconsciously, but he quickly restrained it. You should never think wildly at this moment, let alone laugh!

"I would like to ask 'Fairy Xixia' to come forward and speak." Ye Xuan began to take the initiative to clean up the mess when no one came forward.

"Qiu Shimai" looked at the body of "Hu Kang" and was shocked. Suddenly he heard his name, and his heart was even more shuddering. He thought to himself: "Is it possible that it's my turn now?" He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in. between fields. When Qiu Shimai approached, Ye Xuan also led the five people behind him to walk more than ten steps to the right, avoiding the body of "Hu Kang".

"Senior Sister Qiu, I don't know who else here is a relative of Gang Leader Hu. Ye Xuan was lucky and did not dare to accept the weapon given by Gang Leader Hu. Since Senior Sister is the niece of Gang Leader Hu, please keep this iron whip." Ye Xuanyu raised his hands and held the "Water Dragon Yin" in his hands. He walked to Qiu Shimai and bowed solemnly.

Of course, Ye Xuan knew that "Qiu Shimai" was not "Hu Kang's" biological niece, so he just used an excuse to get her into the game. There must always be one person who speaks to one's side on behalf of the group. If he could choose, he would choose Qiu Shimai. After all, the two had acted together before, and he knew that "Xixia Fairy" was not someone who would do things right.

"Qiu Shimai" also said that Ye Xuan was annoyed with her and wanted to make things difficult for her. Hearing these words, I felt a little relieved. I immediately threw my sword "White Rainbow" on the ground, gave the "Iron Whip" in the afterimage's hand a deep bow, and then held it with both hands. He turned towards the five members of the "Hang Gang" who were still standing and said: "Uncle Hu's relics should be kept by senior brothers and sisters." After saying this, he took three steps forward and bowed again with his whip in hand. The iron whip is so heavy that if a person with no internal strength holds it in this position, he will fall forward.

The five members of the "Hang Gang" were filled with grief and indignation, but they had to immediately face this extremely embarrassing matter: Who will pick up the iron whip? The five people looked at each other and did not move for a long time. The Hang Gang and other heroes all stood opposite Ye Xuan and the others. Qiu Shimai bowed towards the opposite side, causing Ye Xuan and Gui Mo to have wild thoughts.

Qiu Shimai had so much cultivation and experience that he could notice that there was an extremely hot gaze directed at his buttocks without turning around. The first time she bowed down, she felt that this scene was inappropriate, and she suddenly felt shy. Seeing the five members of the "Hang Gang" not moving for a long time, her shyness gradually turned to shame and anger: "Uncle Hu's relics should be kept by senior brothers and sisters!" Qiu Shimai Repeating the previous words, the words are respectful and full of resentment.

After all, women know how to be considerate of women, so "Yu Mei'er" apologized and replied: "Thank you, Senior Sister Qiu. Mei'er will take it for the senior brothers first."

Among the four "Liu Chengyin, Meng Huangping, Jiang Tongyan, and Yu Man", only "Liu Chengyin" was older than "Yu Meier" and joined the gang earlier. "Yu Mei'er" said that she was taking charge of "several senior brothers", which has three connotations:

Although I have a relationship with the leader of the gang, I have never known each other, and I dare not consider myself as an elder. This is one of the reasons;

Although I have received the iron whip, I have no intention of coveting the position of gang leader, that's the second reason;

I have countless thoughts on who should succeed the gang leader, and this is the third one.

"Yu Mei'er" is charming, and "Xiong Qingsi" is loyal and courageous. The "Hang Gang" has today's status. In addition to Hu Kang himself, who is good at business and martial arts, and has both kindness and power, these two people also play an important role in the internal affairs, diplomacy, and the gathering and dispersion of the "Hang Gang and Peicheng". .

Now that "Xiong Qingsi" is disabled, he still doesn't know whether he can survive, let alone whether his sanity has been damaged; "Yu Meier" has no intention of standing out or helping others. The "Hang Gang" has been accumulated for hundreds of years, and it is about to fall apart like the "Beggars Gang"...

Ye Xuan killed Hu Kang, his fear was gone, his mind gradually recovered, and he could tell in one sentence that "Yu Mei'er" was a deep-minded person, not comparable to a shrew like "Gan Tian". Now that she has received the whip, no matter what happens next, she is now in charge of the "Hang Gang". In this way, the two beauties in front of them, "one red and one purple", are the ones who "settled the disputes and settled the mess" today.

"Senior Sister Yu, Senior Sister Qiu, Jin Nuo, the former leader of Hu Gang, if we are lucky, all the problems in the Southland will be wiped out. At this moment... if I continue to be hypocritical and polite, I may make everyone hate me. Two senior sisters, Can you allow me to wait until I cross the river and return to the north?" Ye Xuan asked humbly. If he wasn't eager to escape, he would have wanted to chat more with the two people in front of him.

"No disciple of the Hang Gang dares to disobey the Gang Leader's order. Yu Mei'er, on behalf of all the brothers in the gang, respectfully sends Mr. across the river." Yu Mei'er secretly used her inner strength to sing her soft and sweet voice to the ears of everyone present. At this time, the remaining four leaders of the "Hang Gang" were collecting Hu Kang's body. They did not respond when they heard the words, which was regarded as acquiescence.

On Qiu Shimai's side, he frowned and whispered: "Mai is very gentle and does not dare to make decisions on behalf of the seniors and leaders, so I will go back and ask for instructions." After saying that, he saluted Ye Xuan and turned to leave.

"Senior Sister Qiu, can you allow me to cross the river and return to the north?" Ye Xuan asked softly again, with a tone of pity but also a hint of threat. He designed "Qiu Shimai" to be singled out from a group of powerful men just to let her make the decision, and he didn't care whether she could make the decision or not! Ye Xuan concluded that as long as he got her promise in public, there would be no more danger of "the gang collaborating" today.

Now Hu Kang has been killed, the powerful enemy is gone, and the blood feud has been concluded. Ye Xuan is not as afraid of "Qiu Shimai" as before. Although he still hopes to flatter and make friends with her later, at this moment, being able to cross the river smoothly is more important than anything else.

Without waiting for Qiu Shimai to respond, Afterimage stretched out his fingers and lightly stabbed Mu Qing'er's left leg, barely moving his lips, and whispered in a very subtle voice: "Repeat."

"Senior Sister Qiu, can you allow me to wait until we cross the river and return to the north?" Mu Qing'er obeyed, her voice indifferent.

Suddenly seeing Ye Xuan turning against him, Qiu Shimai was frightened, ashamed and angry, and was in a dilemma. Yu Meier dared to make the decision for the "Hang Gang", but she didn't dare to make the decision for the "18 heads". Mu Qing'er's cold words finally overcame the fear.

In Qiu Shimai's view, Ye Xuan's behavior was foreseeable. Although she did not foresee Ye Xuan's behavior at all, she still believed that Ye Xuan's behavior was foreseeable until this moment. And if this bitch with gray eyes is angered, she doesn't know what she will do. What's even more frightening is that Qiu Shimai can't tell whether she is angry or not.

"Uncle Hu's order, I dare not disobey. Sir, please do it now." Qiu Shimai said loudly, but skillfully controlled his voice to a level that the heroes behind him could barely distinguish.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Yu and Senior Sister Qiu, for your thoughtfulness. Thank you all heroes for your patience. The weather is unlucky today, so I won't talk to you all one by one. Ye Xuan and Mu Qing'er of Kurong City, let's pay our respects together!" After saying this, he clasped his fists. Look around and bow down. Mu Qing'er heard the words and took a step forward to worship him.

Except for "Yu Mei'er", everyone in the "Hang Gang" just handed over their hands and did not bow. "Qiu Shimai" stood in front of Mu and Ye, not wanting to be disrespectful. There were eighteen people in the group, and they all returned gifts in different shades. There was even one person who avoided each other sideways and was not greeted by the two of them. It was "Yan He", the master of "Luoye Sect".

When Hu Kang introduced Mu Qing'er to Mu Qing'er as an afterimage, he memorized the faces one by one and was trying to engrave each person's movements in his mind.

"Please ask the two senior sisters to lead the princes to the ship and leave the port. Ye Xuanming is grateful for your kindness. I will be at my disposal in the future!" Ye Xuan bowed to thank the group of heroes, but whispered to Yu and Qiu who were nearby. Qiu Shimai saw Ye Xuan threatening and begging for permission in an instant, and changing his face so quickly. He felt angry and funny at the same time, so he finally responded lightly, "Yes."

Seeing Hu Kang's death, Yu Meier knew that the "Hang Gang" would soon be fighting internally and externally, and she already had the intention of retiring. He originally planned to take the "gang leader's corpse" and the "remnants of the party" away from this place as soon as possible, but at this time, he refused to sell Ye Xuan's favor, so he turned around and left.

"Geng Siyi" was waiting anxiously on the cargo ship, but he did not dare to lead people ashore. The order Ye Xuan gave him before leaving the city was just to "hire a boat and escort the boat." The hundreds of ships outside the siltation port were far apart, and they had no idea what was going on at the port. It was not until they saw the seven giant ships of the "Navigation Gang" leaving the port one after another, either going up the river or down the river, that they finally Can't wait to "moor the ship into the harbor and unload the cargo".

Although the ships hired by "Kurong City" were protected by "armors and archers", they did not dare to occupy the entire ferry corridor. It took half a day before Captain Luo and Qingqi all boarded the cargo ship. The six members of the "Konoha Clan" gathered at the port to hold the battle, and only boarded the ship at the last moment. Fortunately, no more trouble was caused.
