The lonely figure of Peng Guru walks through the back mountain. He is only in his 40s, and the peak of his physical strength has not yet passed. What's more, he is more familiar with the terrain of Xixin Island than anyone else. catch up with him.

While running, he blew a mournful whistle, rushed from Xixintang to the back mountain, bypassed countless black ground fissures, and finally entered a desolate cemetery.

There are dozens of tombs, all of which are old and crude. The wooden tombstones have been eroded by wind, rain, and insects. The writing on them has long been blurred, but no one has repaired them.

When Qin Songfeng inspected the terrain before, he had already learned that the Haifengzhai bandits who were killed by the Heavenly Punishment Sect when they first landed on the island were buried here.

Nine disciples of the Heavenly Punishment Sect in black clothes and black scarves were already standing among the tombstones, forming a formation of three or three, and forming a large formation of nine. The appearance of the disciples of the Heaven's Punishment Sect back then.

But if the Heaven's Punishment Sect had already cleaned up the sect on their own, how could it be Qin Songfeng's turn to kill Peng Guru.

Qin Songfeng signaled Sun Chengxiu beside him to pause, looked straight at Peng Guru who was standing in the distance, and said, "Senior Peng, don't you want to explain something?"

Peng Guru sighed slightly, but he didn't relax at all in his ready-to-go posture: "Seeing your eyes, I know that your purpose of coming is to avenge those passers-by, not to help Ajiu clean up the house at all.

"I don't want to die. I'm worried about the return of the islanders to the land, and the difficulties they have to integrate into ordinary people and obtain their status as ordinary people. I also want to know whether those sinners will be able to get rid of the shackles of the Heaven's Punishment Sect in the future. , have always been a law-abiding citizen.

"But if I lose today and die by your hands, please go back and tell Song Zhangxing. It's not that I don't want to save Ah San. It's just that I was a step late when I arrived, and he was already dead. At that time, I didn't know Ah Wantan He wanted to murder Ah San, but he was only worried that Song Zhangxing would insist on executing Ah Wu and leaving Ah Si behind. What Ah Si did was a bit ridiculous, and the entire Heavenly Punishment Sect would probably be defeated by him."

Qin Songfeng said: "You are not worried that Shangguan Wu's heart is like a snake and a scorpion."

"...Before I advocated not to kill Ah Si, it was because Ah Wu was not bad in talent, but his heart was too ruthless. Only by leaving Ah Si in the world could he be scrupled. I didn't expect that I failed to protect Ah Si well. .”

Sun Chengxiu took a step forward, glared at Peng Guru and said: "So you go to kill those talented couples who have no strength to restrain chickens, and your fellows who have seen a rough road. Aren't you a good person? Aren't you the women in Lianjiefu Village who were killed? Can't bear to see the ending of being forced to commit suicide? How could you do such a thing, Ajiu never doubted you, and none of us doubted you."

Peng Guru took a deep breath: "I have no choice. I am a selfish person after all, and I value the situation on the island more than the lives of innocent people."

Sun Chengxiu looked furious: "Who said there is no way? The scholar couple are timid and afraid, they are not from the Jianghu, and they don't know who Ajiu is. As long as you threaten them, how dare they speak out. Do you know why we didn't do it in the first place?" Tell me why you came here? Because that scholar doesn't remember what Shangguan San said to him at all!"

Peng Guru was silent for a moment: "I thought I couldn't afford to gamble."

Sun Chengxiu said angrily: "You are so contemptuous of a few human lives!"

Qin Songfeng tugged her from behind, with a bit of sarcasm in his usual kind tone: "If it's someone from an aristocratic family who is a well-known disciple, well-dressed and well-behaved, with a high degree of fame on his back, and a resounding school signboard when he makes a move, I think that even if Peng Zhangshu is sure to kill him, he might not dare to kill him."

Peng Guru said: "Perhaps you are right, I bully the weak and fear the hard, and my heart can be punished."

"Bullying the weak and fearing the tough is just a layer of skin. You should know what the inside is, Peng Zhangshu." Qin Songfeng's eyes were sharp. Although he hadn't drawn his sword yet, his not burly body already exuded a murderous intent that was hard to ignore. Punishment, the ones who are punished are those who you think are strong, and those who are helped are those who you think are weak. Didn’t you speak for these women on the island because they were in a miserable situation, and they could only be determined by others in the village? What? At the beginning of time, you actually helped the five sons of Shangguan, who were candidates for the head of the Heavenly Punishment Sect, to kill poor scholars and Jianghu people who only knew how to use wild tricks—could it be that it started when someone said you were a 'prime minister'? "

"Superior people" will always live more preciously than "lower people", and they will never be the same as "lower people" when they make mistakes.

At this point, it is useless to talk more, it is better to do it.

Most of the scribbled wooden monuments had long been decayed, broken and collapsed in the sword wind, and the names of those that were still standing upright were also erased by the sword marks.No one visited the tomb of this group of arrogant, brutal and greedy people more than 30 years ago, and no one remembered them. The skeleton of one of them was dug up, so no one knew about it.Today, they didn't even leave the tombstone in the end.

Peng Guru didn't use many swords, and more of them watched with cold eyes, guiding the direction of the three sword formations. His tall and straight figure was extraordinary and majestic.The nine people in the formation probably experienced a long period of running-in, and they really have a tacit understanding. Peng Guru commanded them like arms and fingers.

There is another kind of tacit understanding between Qin Songfeng and Sun Chengxiu. This tacit understanding does not stem from training, but from mutual understanding, and as masters, they judge similar battle situations.

Peng Guru's sword formation swirls like a vortex, trying to devour everything in the formation.

Sun Chengxiu was calm and experienced, with his long sword unfurled, the sound of the wind was harsh, restraining the movement of the other ten people; Qin Songfeng's figure was unpredictable, coming and going, passing through the most impossible gaps, creating slight movements in the sword formation. mess.

What the sword formation fears most is chaos, and the chaos gradually expands from point to surface. In the end, the entire formation was cut in two by the long knife, tearing a gap, Qin Songfeng passed through the gap, and rolled in front of Peng Guru like a gust of wind. The soft sword swayed, forcing out the prey in Peng Guru's bones.

Peng Guru's men began to fight desperately, but Sun Chengxiu was not afraid of their desperate efforts, and blood exploded again and again, spilling on the collapsed tombstone.

Peng Guru himself is considered a master, but he seems to be too prudent and safe. A master's fight is like two armies at war.

There was a burning anger in Qin Songfeng's heart. The accident that should not have happened had been choked in his chest. He had never been furious or crying like Ji Shuliu. It made his sword edge even more irresistible.

Peng Guru backed up, backed up again... There was already a steep slope behind him, suddenly his footsteps paused, he jumped high, his figure in the air changed, and at that moment he seemed to turn into a phantom, swooping forward, the sword light dazzled , Dazzling.

This is his real strength, maybe a little bit worse than Shangguan Juan, but it is still top-notch.

Qin Songfeng didn't dodge, he straightened his sword and faced Peng Guru's gorgeous blow that he had been preparing for a long time, only to hear a sharp clang——

Qin Songfeng's soft sword did not collide with Peng Guru's epee, it just crossed the face of Peng Guru's sword, using softness to overcome rigidity, bumping into the direction of Peng Guru's sword, and then the sword swung, Cut in Peng Guru's abdomen.

Peng Guru dodged in time, the wound on his abdomen was similar to that of Pan Ziyun, half of his body was stained red with blood, he said faintly: "Young people are terrifying."

Qin Songfeng attacked with a quick sword and said: "If you give me another five years, I can make you feel that Pan Ziyun is also very scary."

"His name is Pan Ziyun? What is his background?"

"The word 'background'," Qin Songfeng sarcastically, "is indeed the style of Peng Zhangshu."

Peng Guru's calm aura gradually collapsed, shattered into dust, as if his armor was gone, revealing his vulnerable body inside.

He was hit again in the chest and abdomen, and fell to the ground.

An inconspicuous sword light suddenly shot out from the bushes on the edge of the cemetery, and the human sword came together, forcing Qin Songfeng to take three steps back in an instant.Shangguanpan, who was all in black, stood up straight, pointed the long sword in his right hand at Qin Songfeng in front of him, raised his left hand to the top of his head, and took off the airtight hood.

"He is Miss Xiao's father." Ji Shuliu ran after him regardless of his injuries.

In fact, he need not say that Xiao Jiu's eyebrows and eyes can find many similarities with Shangguan Pan's face.

Qin Songfeng took a deep breath: "Senior Shangguan, Peng Zhangshu killed an innocent passing woman in order to silence her. This is a common taboo between black and white."

"I know." Shangguan Judgment said slowly, "I will definitely make him regret committing this felony, but if the Second Sect Leader of Qin kills him, the life of the deceased will not be saved. He can use the rest of his life to make up for the victim relatives..."

Qin Songfeng said: "Peng Zhangshu has to 'go down' if he wants to compensate their relatives. The woman is an only daughter. A few days after her death, her parents passed away one after another. I think you can guess how they died."

Shangguanpan's eyebrows were frowned in pain, deepening the outline of the word "Chuan Chuan" between his eyebrows: "I harmed them, I harmed the whole island, my fellow disciples, my wife, my son, my daughter, And Guru, all of them were caused by me alone, if you want to count the crimes they committed, you can count them on me."

Qin Songfeng asked calmly: "How did you do it wrong?"

"If you grew up on this island, gradually, you will only see this island in your eyes, thinking that you are a prince and general who can control the life and death of others..." Shangguanpan coughed twice , "It was my ignorance and ignorance when I was young that ruined the people of the island."

Qin Songfeng said: "A real prince and general, if I kill my friend for such a ridiculous reason, I will also assassinate him."

"If you do less crime today, you will have less regret when you get old. You are a young man with rare talent. How can I see you make the big mistake I made back then? Since you are obsessed with obsession, let me wake you up -"

Shangguan was the first to strike the sword, and Qin Songfeng had no choice but to fight back.

Sun Chengxiu also wanted to rush over, and Peng Guru's subordinates entangled her tightly regardless of their own safety.

Ji Shuliu was too eager to catch up with Shangguan just now, the unhealed wound soaked through the sweat on his back, and it was so painful that it was difficult to walk again when he stopped, until now he slowed down, gritted his teeth and approached, standing behind Qin Songfeng.

Shangguan Judgment's swordsmanship is old and sharp, honed from countless bloody battles when he was young, and the excessive rigidity caused by the sharpness of the front is suppressed by the gradual peace of mind in old age, and finally forged into today's so-called perfect foreign peace Nei Gang.Qin Songfeng's swordsmanship has not been practiced to the real peak, but he is young and strong, and his footwork is complicated. His figure and sword shadow are difficult to distinguish between real and false. He gradually gained the upper hand in front of the old man Shangguan.

This is not a life-and-death duel. Shangguanpan doesn't want to kill people, and neither does Qin Songfeng. Shangguanpan only wants to protect Peng Guru, and Qin Songfeng just wants to go around and kill Peng Guru. The two have their own scruples, and they can't tell the winner.

Ji Shuliu slowly pulled out his Yanhui sword.

Upon seeing this, the Shangguan judge first said: "Ji Shuliu, why don't you let him go? I have heard of your name. You are born in the underworld, and you have done things to protect old relatives and friends before."

Ji Shuliu did not do anything to prevent the relatives and friends of the deceased from revenge in person, he did not explain, but sarcastically said: "The younger generation always helps relatives but does not help them, this time it is also helping relatives, but this time the reasoning is also on my side. ——However, senior Shangguan, where have you been all these years? Since even unknown people like this junior know about it, you must have been walking the rivers and lakes on land, why didn't you visit your daughter once, when you finally visited that day , we almost thought that Ling Ai had met a pervert."

Shangguan Pan's swordsmanship seemed to be choked by him, and he lost a little bit of flowing water. After a long while, he said: "I am in the northwest, and my name is Wei Shang."

Qin Songfeng was shocked and said: "You are a Buddhist Xia in the Northwest."

That is a martial arts master walking in the northwest, with strange burn marks all over his body and face, claiming to be guilty of sins, and walking the rivers and lakes is to atone for his sins.Since he became famous, he has saved countless people, but he would rather hurt himself than hurt others. His swordsmanship is only defensive, and he uses the power of pulling and blocking to prevent the assailant from making moves.

It is said that after each success, he would endlessly advise the assailant to be kind, no matter whether the assailant was seeking money and killing or revenge.What he said was not actually Buddhism, but people in the Jianghu felt that there was no difference. They suspected that he was disguised by some eminent monk, so they called him the Northwest Buddhist Xia.

Burning is naturally a means of disguise, but...

Qin Songfeng said: "The judge turned into a Buddha, you didn't just talk nonsense to make me laugh so hard that I couldn't hold the sword."

Shangguan Judgment said solemnly: "Of course I sincerely atone for my crime."

"Forget it, he is even more unreasonable than Peng Zhangshu." Ji Shuliu said, "Peng Zhangshu, can you believe it? In fact, when I spoke to you just now, I would rather guess wrong than search for clues again."

Peng Guru was silent.

Ji Shuliu said emotionally: "I believe that you still have a conscience. According to the scholar, your sword was originally intended to kill your husband first. When you saw your wife die to save her husband, you stayed where you were, so you were attacked by Pan Ziyun." Why are you so stunned, do you also admire the woman's steadfastness and regret that you killed her?"

Peng Guru heaved a long sigh, his eyes turned a little red: "I did commit a felony, but it's a pity that I have no chance to make up for it."

"Our friend is your chance. If you ran away at that time and sincerely repented afterwards, do we really have to kill you? Even if Song Zhangxing heard about it, he probably thought of his brotherhood for many years and couldn't bear to execute you. But you But it took your chances to death."

Peng Guru was silent.

Ji Shuliu said: "Now you still refuse to seize the opportunity. I thought you were a daring person, and thought you were willing to commit suicide and apologize, so you wouldn't make things so ugly."

"Sorry," Peng Guru said, "I have not fulfilled my wish, and I don't want to sit and wait for death."

"Then let's talk about Pan Ziyun's 'background'." Ji Shuliu's voice cooled down. "Just now you asked, why isn't Pan Ziyun related to us, but what's Pan Ziyun's 'background'? What is Pan Ziyun's backing? What is the origin of the murdered scholar ladies? If they really have great origins, do we still need us to avenge them? Their origin is that half their lives are full of hardships, but they are willing to stand up in times of crisis, so that people cannot just sit back and watch them Being murdered, but letting the real murderer run free!"

Ji Shuliu tried not to let himself be too angry: "Shangguan, the head of the sect, you have heard it just now, the person you are trying to protect did not make a mistake on the spur of the moment, but made more mistakes and more crimes. Until now, I still think that 'relationship' is more important than friendship. Senior Jiang said that he has read a lot of history books over the years, but unfortunately he not only did not have a mind that the people are suffering in the ups and downs, but he was full of self-esteem and was keen on playing tricks. Even people in the Jianghu want to talk about their 'background' when they avenge their friends. Why didn't he commit suicide to apologize? In my opinion, he committed suicide long ago, and he killed the same Peng Guru 30 years ago.

"Did you commit suicide too? Otherwise, even if you overcorrected, how could you not distinguish between right and wrong? It was clearly your own son who was dying to ask for help that day, and these innocent people were involved. Peng Zhangshu killed your other biological son to silence him. From the beginning to the end, it is the family affairs that you can't manage that hurt the innocent, why do you prevent the victim's friend from taking revenge.

"...By the way, since he witnessed Shangguan Wu's murder, he must have guessed the truth when your daughter was attacked. Why didn't he control Shangguan Wu? Did he also want your daughter to be silenced?"

Peng Guru defended difficultly: "No. I sent people to patrol around the iron barrel after Ajiu was out of trouble. I just didn't want Awu to be caught."

The muscles on Shangguanpan's face twisted, but the sword in his hand was not slow at all, firmly protecting Peng Guru in the corner.

Seeing that his eloquence was useless, Ji Shuliu gritted his teeth and rushed into the battle group with his sword in hand.He is by no means an opponent that can be underestimated, and Qin Songfeng's weak advantage immediately became very obvious.

Shangguan Judgment was at a disadvantage and turned into a rogue. He took advantage of Ji and Qin's daring not to fight hard, repeatedly resisted with his body, and continued to protect Peng Guru behind his back.

Qin Songfeng suddenly said: "Peng Zhangshu, I think you are hopeless, and you must not stay. Even if I can't kill you today, I will chase you to the ends of the earth, and I will definitely let you go. After today, in my eyes, you are a dead person. Do you have any last words?"

Peng Guru smiled sadly and said: "Old head, you still refused to say why you didn't return back then. You probably couldn't understand us, so you left us on the island, even refusing to recognize your own son. It's ridiculous. But you thought that something happened to you, and you committed a great crime in order to save your blood. Thirty years ago, you said that you wanted to reform the sinners of an island. Although Peng is still proud of maintaining order on the island for 30 years in his life, he still has a lot of regrets when he thinks that the old sect leader whom I have been loyal to has dismissed all these things."

He obviously expected Shangguan's denial, but Shangguan did not respond to him.Only Ji Shuliu scolded: "Are you crazy about reading history books? The head of the Shangguan regards you as a junior to protect you, what are you talking about 'loyalty'."

Qin Songfeng suddenly glanced at Ji Shuliu during the fierce battle.

Ji Shuliu no longer cared about the arrow wound on his back, he changed from a support to a main force, and his sword moves instantly took on a turbulent momentum, blocking all of Shangguan's attacks by himself, but Shangguan was temporarily blinded by the word "天涯海角" .

Qin Songfeng's footwork was like the wind, passing through Shangguanpan's protective net, and the soft sword pierced Peng Guru's heart from a strange angle.
