It's not yet dusk, but billowing black clouds occupy the entire sky, connecting with the sea on all sides, enveloping this isolated island together with the surrounding sea within sight.

The sky was cloudy like night, and the sea wind was howling, as if it was about to bring some bad news.

Then the bad news really came——Shangguansi committed suicide by throwing himself into the trap.

The disciple of the Heaven's Punishment Sect who came to deliver the letter said: "Just now Mr. Peng personally interrogated Hu Er who plotted against Ah Jiu, and Hu Er finally confessed. He admitted that he was ordered by Ah Si; Xiao Jing felt that Ah San was dead and needed to find another way out. Shen Shimei and Hu Er's nephew are in love, and Hu Er promised her that if she can survive this time, Ah Si will inherit the position of head in the future, and she will be the first to allow her to marry her lover, so she also went up Thief ship.

"But after Mr. Peng finished the interrogation, he confronted Ah Si and found that Ah Si had committed suicide in his cell."

Most people thought that he committed suicide in fear of crime, but his direct confidantes refused to believe it and made a fuss in Xixintang.

Jiang Wei's eyes turned red again, but she didn't shed tears. She stood up and said to the messenger, "With the personality of the above officials, it is impossible to commit suicide. I am going to do an autopsy myself."

She left as soon as she said, and took five young girls from the Heaven's Punishment Sect, and the rest stayed behind to guard Xiao Jiu.After careful consideration, Qin Songfeng and others decided that Qin Songfeng would stay to protect Xiao Jiu, while Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiu would follow Jiang Wei to wait for the opportunity.Ji and Qin naturally wanted to act together, but among the three of them, Qin Songfeng had the best swordsmanship and the most ruthless enemy, so it was better to take him out alone, and it would be safer for the other two to take care of each other.

Jiang Wei led the crowd straight into the residence of Shangguansi in Xixintang.It was a bedroom with a nailed window, and the door was still hung with an open iron lock.At this moment, the corpse has already been taken down, surrounded by people who tried to save people, people who cried, people who doubted that the murderer was Shangguan Wu, and people who clapped their hands and said that Shangguan's three major vengeances had been avenged... Shangguan Wu is said to be hiding in another Not going out of the room, Peng Guru tried his best to calm the chaos.

As for Song Gang, he was still missing.Hu Er insisted that his disappearance had nothing to do with him; when Peng Guru searched for Song Gang before, he found that two boats were missing from the island.Now Peng Guru's subordinates can only care about maintaining the peace of Xixintang, while Shangguan Wu's subordinates are looking for Song Gang's whereabouts on the island.

Jiang Wei borrowed the strength of a few of his own people to barely squeeze to the side of Shangguansi's body.

Beside Shangguan Si, a 40-year-old disciple of the Heavenly Punishment Sect stepped forward to stop him: "Mrs. Jiang, Ah San is your own flesh and blood, you have the heart to cut open his stomach, Ah Si is not your own, so what are you going to do to him?" !"

Jiang Wei was expressionless, kneeling down and bending over to examine Shangguansi's neck carefully. Shangguansi's subordinates and the girls brought by Jiang Wei were at war with each other and stared at each other.

Ji Shuliu hid in the distance and stared at Shangguan Si's dead face.The last time I ran into him, he was aliased as the fourth son of Wang, sitting in the restaurant hugging left and right, and he still vividly remembered the appearance of speaking rudely to the late head of Yanshan Paiyuan.After going to the island this time, I heard people's suspicion of him countless times, but I didn't expect that when we met again, he had already become a corpse.

Jiang Wei checked the strangle marks on Shangguansi's neck, and then climbed the ladder to check where the ropes were hanging from the beam.Her eyes were confused, and she whispered to the girl beside her that the marks on the neck of the corpse were indeed the marks of hanging, not the marks of being hanged by someone else.But she refused to draw conclusions on this, and stayed where she was, staring at the corpse.

The surrounding area was very chaotic. A young man with a white turban who was complaining for Shangguan Si suddenly asked Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiu in a low voice, "If you are a master of martial arts, you suddenly hang the Fourth Young Master by the neck with a rope and hang him on the beam. Can it be disguised as suicide?"

Ji Shuliu thought for a while, feeling that he couldn't make a judgment, and Sun Chengxiu also shook his head to express his ignorance.

"Both of you are masters invited by Nine Girls, please do me a favor." The man said, "Fourth Young Master's martial arts are pretty good, the murderer's one move to restrain him may be due to the use of drugs, I'm going to the kitchen to look for loopholes. "

One of his companions also came over and said: "Call a few more people from Shangguanwu, and don't let them say that we forged evidence."

In the chaos, the two recruited several people belonging to Shangguansi, Shangguanwu and Peng Guru, together with Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiu, they didn't say they suspected that there was a drug in the kitchen, they just went out to find clues, and they set off together.

Ji Shuliu feels that their thinking is very abrupt, maybe they have arranged forged evidence, but it depends on whether they are lying, it is better to follow the past.

The location of the kitchen is very remote, in a separate small courtyard outside the back door, and Shangguansi's men searched around as soon as they entered. One of them couldn't find it on the ground. Come down and be caught by your companions.

A black-clothed figure flashed across the beam, slipped through the crack of the window, and fled towards the back hill.

The man who fell from the height was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran back: "I'll report, you guys chase first, don't let him run away!"

※two※

Before the heavy rain fell, the dark clouds blocked the light from the sky.The windproof lanterns are dim and yellow, illuminating the desolation and strangeness of the back mountain.

The man in black's lightness skills are very good, and he seems to be familiar with the terrain, always looming in the darkness.It was a headache for those who pursued him—the lantern went out if they ran too fast, and it was difficult to keep up if they ran too slowly.

The crowd passed the houses and entered the back mountain, even Song Gang's residence was left far behind.

The easternmost part of Xixin Island is steep and difficult to navigate. The mountains rise and fall suddenly. In the lowlands between the mountains, not to mention small animals, even insects and ants can’t be seen among the low and sparse vegetation. The cracks, the black holes do not know the depth.

The man in black turned onto a path covered by weeds and ran along that path for a while. The path first went up and then down, pointing to a depression.

After crossing the highest point of the path, the man in black seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Apart from Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiu, there were three Shangguansi, three Shangguanwu and one Peng Guru directs who chased here. Only Peng Guru wore a black turban.The nine people searched around, and soon found a pit with excavation marks. They shined a lantern into the pit, and everyone was stunned.

There was a detached corpse in the pit. The head of the skeleton was filled with soil, and it was placed on its back. Compared with the grass, it is so green and full of life, it is really creepy.

What is this?Qimen poisonous weed?

Ji Shuliu was still confused, and the three Shangguan Wu's men who came together killed three Shangguan Si's men from behind at the same time, and then one jumped at Peng Guru's men, one at Sun Chengxiu, and one at him!

Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiu drew their swords one by one, and the other drew their knives, and killed the people who rushed towards them at the same time, but Peng Guru's men moved a little slower, and while killing the third person, the third person's sword also pierced into his body. heart.

The two plants of grass in the eye sockets of the skeleton are actually things that cast doubts and attract people's attention.

"No, go back quickly." Ji Shuliu didn't think of a terrible thing until now.

Shangguan Wu's suspicion was originally great.At this moment, Peng Guru's people and Shangguansi's people are gathered in the Xixintang, Jiang Wei's people are all in the "iron barrel", Song Gang's people are missing, and Shangguansan's people all believe that the murderer is Shangguansi. Isn't the rest of Shangguan Wu's world?

It's no wonder that after leaving Xixintang, the people of Shangguanwu showed their ferocious faces unscrupulously.

Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiu used lightness kung fu to leave quickly, and when they stepped on the path they came from, there was a sudden, miserable laughter from the top of the slope beside the road.Immediately, three black shadows jumped down from the nearby hill at the same time, and they were forced to return their swords to defend themselves. Immediately afterwards, three other people also jumped out of a crack in the ground like ghosts.

One of the black shadows seemed to be the person who led them here just now, and the other person looked familiar. Ji Shuliu looked intently. He actually fell from a height in the kitchen and claimed to be the subordinate of Shangguan Si who claimed to be going back to report.Naturally, he didn't go back to report, so now no one knows that Ji Shuliu and the others are here and have been attacked.

This game turned out to be against Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiubu.

The three people who came down from the first batch surrounded Sun Chengxiu, and the three people who came up from the second group surrounded Ji Shuliu.The six of them were all wearing white headscarves, and they probably had some background in their families. Their swordsmanship was not particularly bad, but they would never be able to do more than thirty moves under Ji Shuliu's hands.However, at this moment, they formed groups of three and three, circling like a windmill, and each time they drew their swords, they forced Ji Shuliu and Sun Chengxiu to be temporarily at a disadvantage.

The sharp blade rolled over from three different directions, although it did not cause any injury, the wind of the sword was still chilling.

This is probably the self-created three-person sword formation that Peng Guru mentioned before.Unexpectedly, not only the disciples of the Heaven's Punishment School learned it, but also the white turbans on the island.

Ji Shuliu's sword suddenly became extremely fast, and his feet turned against the direction of the sword array. While defending himself, he left some shallow wounds on the hands and wrists of the three people around him, and retreated as soon as he touched them.The rotation of the three people was disrupted by him, one of them could not help but follow him, while the other accelerated the pace of the original rotation, and the two of them collided together, creating a flaw.

The people in the formation cooperated with each other tacitly, and the third person immediately attacked desperately, intending to cover the mistakes of the two companions.

The opportunity is fleeting, so don't miss it!Ji Shuliu's sword pointed precisely at the weakest part of the third person's sword, and then, his swordsmanship changed from brisk to ruthless in an instant, sweeping across the chests of the other two.He didn't dare to be negligent, and used ninety percent of his internal strength, the chests of the two were cut open on the spot, blood flowed horizontally, and they died instantly.

Now that the sword formation was broken, the remaining third person was nothing to be afraid of, but just when Ji Shuliu's old strength was exhausted and his new strength was not born, an arrow shot down obliquely from the halfway up a high mountain nearby, Ferocious, accurate, and decisive, I'm afraid it was the person who attacked Xiao Jiu yesterday.Ji Shuliu barely raised his breath, bent over and stretched his shoulders and took a quick step forward. The arrow slashed against his back, tore his coat, and left a wide and long bloody gash on his back.He staggered and fell to his knees supported by his sword.

※three※

The third person who was still alive rushed up from behind Ji Shuliu and took advantage of the gap. Ji Shuliu maintained a half-kneeling posture, exerted force on his waist, and turned around suddenly. , the long sword fell immediately.Ji Shuliu picked up the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and threw the sword at the besiegers of Sun Chengxiu like a flying knife.

The three who besieged Sun Chengxiu were slightly stronger than those who besieged Ji Shuliu, so Sun Chengxiu failed to catch the other party's flaws and was at a stalemate for a while.Although Ji Shuliu's sword didn't hit the target, it broke the seamless coordination of the sword array. Sun Chengxiu finally found a chance, stabbed straight with the long knife, killed one person, broke out, and chased in the direction of the arrow shooter with light kung fu. .

A series of arrows came, and Sun Chengxiu's thin figure held her not-so-thin long knife, dodging and dodging in the precipitous terrain, with a murderous aura, not retreating a step.

Under the cover of Sun Chengxiu, Ji Shuliu also chased there. Not far away, he was surrounded and intercepted by the remaining three enemies who were still alive.

He swung his sword to fight back, but he was a little powerless.The wound on his back was like tearing a person apart. Every moment passed, it was more unbearable than the previous moment. He gradually felt that his mind was spinning, and he could hardly see where the three swords were coming from. .

A flash of lightning flashed across, thunder rumbled in all directions, and the raindrops that had been accumulated for a long time in the thick clouds finally dripped and landed on Baihui above Ji Shuliu's head, barely regaining his sanity.He understood that he didn't need to win, as long as he supported until Sun Chengxiu came back, two enemies and three would be more than enough.

Realizing this point, he became much more relaxed. He no longer competed for victory, carefully avoided too violent sword moves, and used his sword to guide the three swords in the sword array to touch and hinder each other. His mood calmed down a little bit, and he focused on Control the movement of the three swords, instead of quickly killing the three people holding the swords.

It seemed that there had never been a time like this before.Ji Shuliu's swordsmanship was taught by Li Xiao, the owner of Zuizun Castle. Li Xiao loves him very much. It's not like raising a younger brother, but like raising a daughter. He never expects him to kill, but in Li Xiao's eyes His swordsmanship is completely a killing technique, and the extra killing intent in his swordsmanship was eventually passed on to Ji Shuliu imperceptibly.

Excessive murderous swordsmanship is not necessarily a bad thing, but it would be better if it can be retracted freely. Ji Shuliu was immersed in this small entry, temporarily forgetting the injuries on his back, and easily delayed the three enemies.

It didn't seem too long before another flash of lightning illuminated the surroundings, and Sun Chengxiu's blood-stained figure approached from a distance. With a wave of her left hand, she threw a crossbow in her hand at the four people in the fierce battle, and said loudly amidst the thunder: " He is dead, do you still want to fight to the end?"

Seeing the crossbow machine, one of the people in the sword formation suddenly took two steps back, bit his left arm and let out a mournful cry, leaving his companions behind, and turned to face Sun Chengxiu.

Sun Chengxiu's saber skills are pure, and the three-person sword formation is just not defeated in front of her. How can a mere one person have the qualifications to fight her desperately, let alone this person's offensive is full of loopholes to pounce head-on?A hint of confusion flashed across her eyes, but the knife in her hand fought back without hesitation, cut off the iron sword in the man's hand, and directly inserted it into his abdomen.

She drew out the knife, and the enemy fell to the ground on his back, with his hands behind his back to support the ground, and his legs wrapped around her left leg like a snake.

This entanglement was actually faster than a sword. Sun Chengxiu couldn't dodge, so he had to raise his leg and kick violently, trying to get rid of the lunatic, but his strength and agility seemed to have increased tenfold in an instant. Not only was he not thrown off, but also Pushing his arms back, he bounced his upper body up, hugged Sun Chengxiu's crotch, tilted his head, and bit her hipbone firmly, with only a small piece of broken sword left in his hand, he took the opportunity to hit Sun Chengxiu's leg.

Lightning from the sky illuminated half of his face, his face was blood red, and countless tiny blood vessels were filled with blood, almost bursting the skin to leak out.

At the same time, the other two bit their left arms at the same time.Sun Chengxiu tried his best to chop off the dying lunatic, and at the same time warned: "Suck the marrow and search for the soul!"

But it was already too late, and the other two also took the tiger wolf medicine that was only used by the "righteous men" of the Heaven's Punishment Sect 30 years ago.

The first lunatic to take the medicine had his arms and veins cut off by Sun Chengxiu, and a small piece of Sun Chengxiu's flesh was bitten off in his mouth, and his legs were still there.Sun Chengxiu's movement was limited, so he had to lower his head and break off his entangled legs. The man fell to the ground completely, his arms could no longer move, his legs twitched and rolled on the ground, and rolled to a wider crack on the ground nearby. Next to it, suddenly fell into it.

The echo of bone shattering came from the ground.

Here, before Sun Chengxiu straightened up, one of the other two people taking medicine continued to pester Ji Shuliu, while the other rolled around on the spot, slashing at the back of her neck with the heavy sword in his hand, which was also ten times faster and ten times more ruthless than before. times!

Seeing that Sun Chengxiu would be seriously injured even if he was not dead, Ji Shuliu's killing intent was rekindled. He no longer cared about the injuries on his back, or even about the aggressive opponent. Take the sword that is cutting towards Sun Chengxiu.

This person didn't seem to expect that Ji Shuliu could easily get rid of his companion. When he cast his surprised eyes on Ji Shuliu, Ji Shuliu's sword just touched his neck and pushed him forward. He opened his eyes and fell down. With an inch of strength, he also fell under the ground crack.

Ji Shuliu's quick decision naturally also had to pay a price. His left leg was stabbed by the last enemy who was still alive, blood gushed out, his knee gave way, and he fell to the ground again.

The enemy was at the end of his rope, and he still refused to give up. He raised his foot and wanted to kick Ji Shuliu into the crack in the ground.

The more and more dense raindrops blurred Ji Shuliu's vision, that kick just hit the sword wound on his leg, his body slid on the ground for a moment, and suddenly felt empty, he stretched out his left hand hastily, and grabbed the enemy Too late to retract the ankle.It's a pity that the enemy's brute strength was inspired by the soul-absorbing marrow search, and his footwork was still unstable. He fell down when he was dragged by Ji Shuliu, and fell into the ground together.

Sun Chengxiu only had time to grab the clothes at the nape of the enemy's neck. After all, she was a girl, and she carried the weight of the two with one hand, and was staggered under her feet.

She quickly drew out the knife, and used the back of the knife to hook a small tree beside her.The enemy threw away the sword, twisted his hands and climbed up to Sun Chengxiu's left arm, and desperately used a move to split his muscles and bones.

His posture was too awkward, and he couldn't really separate his muscles and bones. However, under the severe pain, Sun Chengxiu's right hand knife missed and failed to hook the small tree, so the last three people on the ground fell into a row in a row. Inside the fissure where there were already two corpses.
