ten steps one kill

The night is getting darker.

At some point, the stars and the moon were hidden in the crevices of the clouds, and the sky opened its mouth like a giant beast, swallowing all the light from the world into its throat.The night was as heavy as a piece of lead, and there was a piece of dark soil underfoot, and the distance was hidden in darkness.

Liu Hongfeng walked in the darkness, but his heart was as tense as a drum beating. Aunt Su's murmurs were still echoing in his ears. He was like a child who accidentally overheard a secret, full of fear but unable to confide in it. The words in my heart seemed to explode, and I couldn't wait for an outlet to vent.

At this time, he saw a figure in the dense forest.

There are eight people in the group, all of them are disciples of Tianjimen. When they go out at this time, they must be looking for Duan Changya.They were all wearing the same standard white shirts, but they looked like two different teams, and Liu Hongfeng's keen intuition immediately noticed the difference.The three behind are consciously chasing the companions in front.

The white color was particularly eye-catching in the dense forest. Liu Hongfeng was left behind by them, so far away that he couldn't even hear their footsteps clearly.

Under Liu Hongfeng's gaze, the three at the end of the team caught up with the nearest companion and patted their shoulders in unison.The person who was patted on the shoulder turned his head back with a look of surprise on his face. However, three lightning-like silver lights tore through the darkness and also tore their chests.

The three of them were pierced through the chest by their companions, and blood-red flowers bloomed on the white clothes. Before they even had time to exclaim, their bodies lost their support and fell down like scarecrows.

Liu Hongfeng couldn't help holding his breath.

The two people walking in the front hadn't noticed the change behind them, and they were still moving forward, until they realized that the footsteps behind them were a little less heavy, then they stopped and turned back to confirm.

Waiting for them are two other bolts of lightning.

In just one cup of tea, five Tianjimen disciples were killed one after another, at the hands of their own family members.Almost at the same time, more figures emerged from the darkness and surrounded the place where the accident occurred.

The newcomers were not dressed in Tianjimen, but a group of warriors in different clothes. Liu Hongfeng squinted his eyes to identify carefully, and recognized some of the faces. They were the elites of Dongfengtang. On the night of the decisive battle against Qing Guangya, they had Under his leadership, he formed the Big Dipper Formation to fight to the death with the last heir of the Wuxiang Gong of Lantian Temple.

The current situation is probably another transfer of power after Dongfengtang annexed Tianjimen.

The meeting in the dense forest ended quickly. The assailant picked up the body of the deceased, turned back on the spot, and walked in the direction of Tianjimen, while the remaining disciples of Dongfengtang continued to go down the mountain.

Liu Hongfeng followed behind them cautiously.

Their goal is the town on Yangliupo.

The town has fallen into a deep sleep, the shops are closed, the taverns are closed, and even the drunks and beggars who roamed the streets in the past have found suitable places to hide.On the winding streets, only the disciples of Dongfeng Hall sneaked through the shadows of the walls and trees, and from the depths of the dark alleys, more of their companions emerged.

Liu Hongfeng shuddered. This was a well-planned manhunt. These people had long been lurking in all directions, like spiders spreading their crisscross webs, waiting for poor bugs to fall into prison.

If you want to defeat them, you have to find the trace of Xiao Chong first.

The world is vast, and it is not easy to find people. Liu Hongfeng walked down the street and stopped suddenly.

He saw an upside-down mask in the corner.

The mask is very simple. It is made by pasting wax paper on bamboo strips and tying it like a kite. There is only a thin layer on the surface. There is a piece of bare string tied between the ears. It is probably discarded by a child. toy, lying pitifully in the shadow cast by the wall.

Liu Hongfeng picked up the mask, turned it over, and held it in his hand to look at it. On the front of the mask was a painted fox. The protruding nose was crooked by a stone, one cheek was varnished, and his forehead was covered with dust.

Such a ridiculous plaything can neither cover up the voice nor cover up the appearance. The only purpose is probably to cover up the bad feelings in his heart and bring him a little courage.

He straightened the bridge of the fox's nose, brushed the dust off his forehead, put the mask on his face, and re-examined the surrounding world through the holes in his eyes.

The world is still the same, but his mood is much calmer. After putting on a strange face, he can finally concentrate on thinking.

Where is Duan Changya?

Dongfengtang is so persistent in setting up a net in the town, there must be sufficient evidence to prove that this person is nearby, but the exact location is not yet known.Yingzhou Island is too small, no place is absolutely safe, and Duan Changya will never marry danger to others, so he will definitely choose a place where there is no one.

Casino?Inn?Or is it a vacant house?Abandoned temple?

Liu Hongfeng thought about it one by one, but her feet involuntarily chose a direction, stepping on the soft, muddy, uneven soil, going back to the depths of the old alley.

Outside Yingge Building.

This is the place where he and Duan Changya met for the first time.

The front hall is connected to the backyard. The place that used to be full of wine and sensuality, now there is only a dead silence. The tables and chairs are scattered in the center of the hall, blocking the way for people to go. The glass screen is lying on the ground. The golden light of the phoenix and phoenix has been turned into countless fragments, and the charming red gauze is piled up beside it like rags, with footprints in twos and threes printed on it.

Yingge Tower was shrouded in deep darkness, and there was no breath of the living at all.

But somehow, Liu Hongfeng felt that Duan Changya was here.

He took advantage of the protection of the night to cover his own breath, walked carefully through the yard, passed the brand-new tomb, and finally stepped up the steps of the dormitory.

The wooden steps hang outside the building, even if they can wipe away the sound of footsteps, they can't wipe away the dust that falls off when the planks tremble.

Liu Hongfeng suddenly raised his head, and the front of his vision suddenly brightened.

The sound of Leng Jian slashing across the scabbard was so familiar, he immediately climbed to the end of the steps and rushed into the corridor on the second floor.

Duan Changya was standing at the end of the corridor, the Tianji sword had already been unsheathed.

Liu Hongfeng didn't greet him with a sword, but grabbed the opponent's wrist.

The Tianji Sword was resting on his neck, and he had no power to parry with his bare hands.

He heard himself say, "I didn't come to hurt you, I came to warn you that someone is going to kill you, and a lot of them. You'd better..."

The second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak it.

No one would have imagined that someone as eloquent as Liu Hongfeng would have a day of being at a loss for words.

Because he saw Duan Changya's face.

In the darkness, the nearby vision became clearer. Duan Changya was standing just a few feet away, his cheeks were firm like sculptures, only his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his black eyes seemed to be breathing. The outside is distinct.

With just one glance, all the courage Liu Hongfeng had accumulated all night was wiped out.

He froze in place, but he heard Duan Changya ask: "Who are you?"

He froze for a moment, then remembered that he was still wearing a mask.

The mask blocked his face, and also blocked half of his voice, which trembled in his cranial cavity, making him feel dizzy for a while.

He made a sound in his throat without authorization, and replied in a questioning tone: "Vixen?"

Duan Changya's mouth twitched.

Liu Hongfeng's cheeks under the mask also became hot.Once again, he felt that this mask was too thin and crude, even if he gave it to Xiaoqian, he would be disgusted.

Toys for children can probably only fool fools.

Duan Changya is obviously not a fool, even if he fled, he was still terribly neat and tidy, he guarded vigilantly in the dark, holding the sword steadily, his gaze was like a torch, and there was not a trace of depression in his body.

But Liu Hongfeng could still see the change in him, his eyes were wandering, as if he was deliberately avoiding something, and he didn't dare to settle down.

Liu Hongfeng was not the only one who needed this mask in exchange for courage.

Duan Changya held the Tianji Sword, while Liu Hongfeng grabbed Duan Changya's wrist.The two looked at each other quietly through a layer of disguise that was ineffective.

Time is passing, and there is not much time left for them to make a choice.

A feathered arrow shot in.

Liu Hongfeng almost pounced on Duan Changya, pushing the latter away from where he was standing.

The feather arrow grazed Duan Changya's temples, flew close to his ear, and nailed into the wall behind him, making a buzzing sound.

The corridor on the second floor was narrow, and Duan Changya's back blade was also stuck to the wall.

More arrows followed.

This time arrows were fired, and a string of whistles pierced the night sky, forming a high-pitched melody, eager to take the lives of the two.

Almost at the same time, Liu Hongfeng grabbed Duan Changya's shoulder, and the two rolled against the wall, narrowly avoiding the trajectory of the arrow.

This is a race against time. The last feathered arrow pierced into the wall, making a creaking sound, and pierced into the gap between the door and the wall.

The two finally approached the door.

The dormitory is a place for the women of Yingge Building to entertain guests. It has three floors, each room is separated independently, wooden steps penetrate from the center, and the corridor spreads along the entrance of the steps. There are four on the left and right sides. Room.There are a total of eight rooms on each floor.

Duan Changya put his back against the door panel, and while the feather arrow stopped, he knocked hard with his elbow and knocked the door bolt open.Liu Hongfeng's weight pressed against him, losing the support from his back, the two of them fell into the room together and rolled to the floor.

This is the first room at the end of the left corridor on the second floor.

The night poured into the room through the crack of the door, the room was hidden and gloomy, the windows were extremely narrow and covered with gauze curtains, as if all the obscene secrets in the world could be hidden.

In the panic, neither of the two dared to be negligent. They immediately grabbed each other's shoulders and rolled sideways into the depths of the room until the figures avoided the door and disappeared into the darkness.

With the protection of the wall, Yu Jian couldn't hurt them temporarily.

But they still didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of causing a bigger commotion.Liu Hongfeng was pressed down by Duan Changya, their chests were tightly pressed together, Duan Changya's smell broke into his nose, mixed with a trace of damp and decaying, making his breathing involuntarily short.

But the next moment, Duan Changya withdrew from him and propped up his body with the Tianji Sword. The moment he rushed over just now, the sharp edge of the sword almost cut his neck.In the darkness, he heard the sound of the sword being sheathed, followed by Duan Changya's sharp voice: "Are you so unafraid of death?"

Liu Hongfeng blinked. Under the cover of the mask, he didn't know whether the other party could really see his movements.He moved his lips and said, "You probably wouldn't kill me, or you would have done it yesterday."

Duan Changya didn't answer, obviously recalling the competition before Duan's mansion yesterday.If they hadn't consumed too much energy at that time, they would probably behave more calmly at this moment.

There were hurried footsteps from all directions.Yingge Tower has been surrounded.

But Liu Hongfeng was a little lucky, in the contest to find Duan Changya, he was the one who won after all, he was the one who came to Duan Changya's side first.

He asked: "You gave Song Yungui a fake seal and took the real one yourself, didn't you?"

Duan Changya showed surprise: "How do you know?" Soon his face darkened, and he said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Liu Hongfeng let out a chuckle: "You are really the same as before, you won't lie at all."

Duan Changya didn't answer, but his face was still stiff and cold.Things have changed in the martial arts world for a long time, so how can they go back to the past.

Most of the beautiful things in the world are fragile. Once broken, it is difficult to restore them to the original state.

Liu Hongfeng raised his hand and touched the mask on his face. The touch of the wax paper seemed to bring back a little courage for him, and he continued: "I went to the Tianji Gate to look for you, but the Tianji Gate has already started to... On your way, you saw disciples bribed by Dongfeng Hall slaughtering your companions."

Hearing that someone had died, Duan Changya's face darkened even more.

Liu Hongfeng continued: "You defected and fled without permission, Song Yungui will definitely use all means to smear you, even the blame for killing your companions can be entirely blamed on you."

Duan Changya said: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, if I stay here, I will also be chased and killed."

Liu Hongfeng couldn't help frowning: "What do you plan to do in the future?"

A dazed expression appeared on Duan Changya's face, and he said, "I don't know yet."

Liu Hongfeng was stunned. He thought that after Duan Changya took away his father's private seal, he must have had a detailed plan.However, this person was at a loss what to do, bit the bullet and fled the house, hiding in Yingge Tower alone.

He stared at his too pale face in the darkness, seeing the bitterness in that frowning brow, he couldn't help feeling a little bit ashamed.The reason why Duan Changya fell into today's situation was all the result of his own hand. He personally pushed the Tianji Gate into the abyss and ruined the Duan family.But he can't repent, because the Duan family is his enemy, if he begs for Duan Changya's forgiveness at this moment, it is tantamount to betraying his deceased mother, which is extremely unfilial.

Duan Changya also looked at him, although his eyes were solemn, but he did not intend to compromise.

Even if they are close at hand and their eyes meet each other, the wall between them is still as hard as ever.

Yingge Tower is the place where they met.

However, the tragedy that did not end well was doomed from the moment they met.

Liu Hongfeng's throat rolled in the darkness, and an inaudible sigh escaped from the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, Duan Changya leaned down, bent the tip of the fox's nose with his cheek, pressed his lips against his ear, and said, "No matter what, get rid of the outsiders first."

The fox's crooked mouth shook, and Liu Hongfeng's voice came from underneath: "Do you want to join hands with me?"

Duan Changya nodded: "Unless you want to be buried with me."

The fox froze slightly, and said, "Forget it, I still want to die a little more cleanly."

Duan Changya turned over and stood up, then extended his hand to him.

As if after a lifetime, Liu Hongfeng touched Duan Changya's finger again.Before he had time to recollect, a force pulled him up and stood on the solid ground again.

Footsteps outside the window approached.

The enemy has climbed the steps and is approaching the end of the corridor.

The corridor is very narrow, only as wide as one person.Even if Dongfeng Hall is full of manpower, when they attack the second floor of the dormitory, they have to line up and pass one by one.

At the forefront is Kanazawa.

Jin Ze is also one of the elite of Dongfengtang, but compared with other companions, his mood is more urgent.Because a few hours ago, Song Yungui had made a tempting promise to him.

"Actually, I intend to hand over the Tianji Gate to your jurisdiction."

Jin Ze could hardly believe his ears: "Leave it to me? Isn't it Senior Sister Mu?"

Song Yungui shook his head, and said: "Mu Xue has other tasks, besides... I'm only telling you this, no matter how strong Mu Xue's martial arts are, she's just a girl, her heart is not tough enough, and she often acts emotionally, not enough to entrust her with important tasks .”

These words ignited Jinze's ambition that had been dormant for many years: "Master, are you serious?"

Song Yungui frowned: "When have I ever broken my promise?"

"Of course not," Jin Ze immediately showed a flattering smile, "The hall master has always kept his promises, which I admire very much."

Like Song Yungui, Jin Ze also came from a poor family background and was bullied since he was a child. He became a teacher at the beginning of Dongfengtang's establishment and assisted Song Yungui through the initial difficult and penniless period. There is no doubt about it. The founding patriarch.But his limelight was snatched by Mu Xue.

Mu Xue joined Dongfengtang much later than him, but she is better and more outstanding than her.He really couldn't bear to be suppressed by women, so he formed a gang in secret and tripped Mu Xue everywhere.However, no matter how he behaved, Song Yungui always ignored him.

For many years, this was the first time Hall Master Song had expressed his purpose in front of him. The long suffering had finally come to an end. He seemed to see a bright future, and his heart was filled with joy.

But Song Yungui changed the subject and said: "However, although Dongfengtang successfully annexed Tianjimen, it still left a huge trouble."

Jin Ze understood and said, "You mean Duan Changya?"

Song Yungui nodded, raised the corners of his mouth and said: "As expected of the person I fancy, he is really smart. Duan Changya left Tianji Gate privately today without permission. Afterwards, Prince Pingnan sent someone to look for him, but he sent someone to find him. The fellow sent to kill him brutally. I am afraid that he has a rebellious heart and plans to rebel."

"rebel?"

"If there is no accident, tomorrow the government will send a boat to send the martial arts people out of the island. At that time, Duan Changya will definitely prevent us from evacuating safely. So if you want to get rid of him, tonight is the best chance. You just bring him It doesn’t matter how many people you bring, just make sure you succeed.”

"I understand," Jin Ze nodded heavily, "I will definitely not let him survive tonight."

Half of the night is over.

Jin Ze couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart.

There are 15 Dongfengtang elites sent by him tonight, they almost turned Yang Liupo upside down, and finally locked on the target of Yingge Tower.Just in case, he arranged eight people downstairs, with crossbow arrows in their hands, and firmly grasped the four directions. Even if Duan Changya escaped through the window, he would inevitably fall into the arrow rain of Dongfeng Hall and be caught by the arrow clusters. Tied into a sieve.

After setting up his defenses, he took the remaining seven people and climbed up the steps of the dormitory one by one.

The barren and gaudy land of Fengyue exudes a disgusting aura everywhere, if he hadn't seen Duan Changya's figure appear here with his own eyes, he would never have taken half a step closer.

He couldn't wait to walk through the dark corridor, kicked open the door at the end on the left, and broke into the room.

To his surprise, the room was empty.

The cold arrow shot just now was still piercing the door, just now he clearly saw Duan Changya get into the first room at the end of the left corridor, followed by a companion, and now, the two of them have disappeared.

He worked hard to set up the cage, just like a hunter approaching the prey in the trap, but the prey disappeared out of thin air under the eyes of the hunter.

How can it be?

Two other Dongfeng Hall disciples followed him into the room, and he ordered: "Xiang Wu, Liang Qi, light up the lamps."

He was afraid that there was an ambush hidden in the darkness, so he ordered the two juniors to light the lamps, while he hid by the door and waited for the changes.There were only thick and bright red candles in the prostitute's room. Xiang Wu and Liang Qi had no choice but to take out the fire pocket. However, after the light came on, the room was still empty, only the shadows of the three of them entrenched at their feet, The candle flickered.

The room has not been damaged, and there is still a lewd atmosphere. The breeze blows up the curtains, and the bed is in a mess, as if there is a shadow floating in it.

Xiang Wu and Liang Qi were dumbfounded, until Jin Ze angrily reprimanded: "You two, don't slack off, hurry up and find someone!"

Xiang Wu felt wronged and said, "Senior brother Jin, where is Duan Changya? I really didn't see it."

Jin Ze was even more displeased: "I just clearly saw him enter this room! And not one person, but two! Are your eyes used as decorations?"

The two of them stopped talking, and just turned their faint eyes to Jin Ze: "Sorry, senior brother, you are the only one who saw Duan Changya, tell me where to find it, and show me the way."

Jin Ze couldn't point it out, so he could only sigh with a flick of his sleeves, and said, "Get out first, they must have played some kind of trick, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fly with their wings. There are seven of us, and we divided two into two to guard the stairs. Not even a mosquito can be spared."

Everyone returned to the corridor, and the two at the end of the line turned and left according to Jin Ze's instructions, and retreated to the stairs.At this time, Jin Ze suddenly found that only Xiang Wu and Liang Qi were left in front of him, and the other two disappeared silently into the dark night like steam.

Liang Qi also noticed something strange, and asked sharply: "Where are the brothers from the Dong family?! It was clear that they were still behind my back."

Kanazawa took a closer look and found that the door of the second room from the left was half open.

Just now when he brought Xiang Liang into the first room, the Dong family brothers also entered the second room.

However, there was silence in the second room, and no sound came from it.

Xiang Wu and Liang Qi seemed to be frightened, they stood still and did not dare to move.Jin Ze glared at them, walked over by himself, and pushed open the concealed door.

Through the moonlight, he saw two people lying side by side on the floor in the center of the room.

It was the Dong family brothers.

The two of them still had one breath left, but they both passed out, their faces were in pain, and there was an obvious mark on their necks, as if they had been severely strangled by a rope.

Xiang Wu's voice was a little trembling: "Brother...you...is what you saw just now really Duan Changya? Wasn't it really a ghost?"

Jin Ze interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"But, but...if it wasn't a ghost, how could it hit the wall?"

Jin Ze spat, raised his head and looked around, and suddenly saw a touch of white passing over his head, along the corner of his vision, and disappeared into the darkness.

He shivered all over, and said loudly: "It's the beam!"

The four rooms were originally separated from each other, however, his enemies destroyed the beams, pierced through the partitions, and staged the ability to penetrate the walls out of thin air.

If it was done in daytime, such a simple trick might not be effective. However, it is difficult to distinguish the heights in the dark. For example, Xiangliang and Liang didn't notice it at all, and they were still in a daze.

Kanazawa was so anxious that he didn't care about his companions, so he immediately pulled out his saber, rushed out the door, and entered the third room, looking up for the target.

He immediately regretted it.

Intruding into view is a fox mask.

The simple mask was facing him, and the crooked mouth revealed an indescribable calmness, full of jokes, as if mocking his stupidity.

It's too late to regret.

In Jin Ze's eyes, the fox's face suddenly enlarged, and at the same time, a haze suddenly fell from the top of his head, and it was the figure of the man who jumped off the beam and rushed towards him.

The appearance of the enemy completely appeared in the darkness, and at the same time, there was also a simple and simple saber.

The slender scabbard is blacker than the night, and the looming sharpness in it is like a baby lying in its swaddle.

How much blood and how much life does it have to drink before it can be born out of nowhere.At the moment of birth, would he be the first sacrifice to offer his soul?

Kanazawa thought so, as if he heard the sound of a sharp knife cutting his neck.

But the long sword didn't come out of its sheath, instead it turned its direction, horizontally in the hollow, the blunt and heavy part of the sword aimed at the back of his head, and shot down without explanation.

Jinze rolled his eyelids, like a deflated ball, bent over and fell to the ground, his forehead hit the floor, making a dull sound.

At the same time, the fox-faced enemy also fell beside him, landing on the ground in a half-squat position, with soft hair floating behind his back, and rising slightly with the movement of raising his head.

Jin Ze lay on the ground, enduring the overwhelming dizziness, desperately opened his eyes, and desperately looked towards the bright light.

In a blurred field of vision, he saw two figures breaking into the door, their footsteps flustered, and they seemed to be calling his name.However, behind the two of them, there was a third shadow, rising like a wall, covering them firmly.Then, he raised his sword and aimed at the back of their heads.

Jin Ze understood in an instant that this person must have been hiding in the fourth room just now, waiting for the opportunity, and when he was tricked and fell to the ground, the two Xiangliang followed him into the room and launched a surprise attack from behind .

There are two enemies, and they are respectively ambushing in two unexplored rooms. No matter which one he breaks into first, the result will be the same.

It's a pity he understood it too late.

Xiangliang and Liang received heavy blows each, the enemy's force was ingenious, and just hit the acupoints, the two of them fell down like scarecrows without saying a word.

Jin Ze still wanted to speak, but suddenly, a pair of slender and powerful fingers caught the side of his neck, squeezed his head, and finally lost consciousness.

Liu Hongfeng stood up and patted his sore hands.

The expression of the fox on the mask is still the same as before. It looks very funny at first glance, but in this tense situation, it looks very calm and calm.

Duan Changya jumped over the two fallen enemies, walked towards him, and said, "You didn't kill him."

Liu Hongfeng replied: "Haven't you heard that a vixen only seduces, not kills?"

The enemy of Dongfengtang attacked with full killing intent, but the two of them showed mercy and did not take the enemy's life.

Now the five people have fallen, and they fell in a hidden room. Their companions who stayed outside still don't know their whereabouts, let alone the situation in the room.

This short blind break is a good opportunity for the two to stand out from the encirclement.

Duan Changya glanced out the window: "The stairs and the yard are open, there is no way to hide our tracks, I'm afraid the only way is to force our way."

Liu Hongfeng was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's not bad to rush in, and it can save the energy of looking forward and backward."

The long-lost taste of victory awakened his fighting spirit.

When death was close at hand, the bottom of his heart boiled up again, with a strong hope gurgling out, hoping that he could survive tonight's catastrophe safely.

Perhaps because Duan Changya was right in front of him, he uncontrollably longed for another sunrise with this person.

Duan Changya is an insoluble puzzle in his life, as long as he is by this person's side, he will be reborn and become a stranger to himself.

If it wasn't for the mask covering his face, he might not have recognized his own appearance.

Opportunities come and go, and we can't wait any longer.

Duan Changya took the first step and slowly drew out the Tianji sword.His movements were very light, and he hardly made any sound, and the corridor was still shrouded in dead silence.

The Dong brothers standing near the steps were already breaking out in cold sweat.

They didn't know what happened in the corridor at all, and they didn't know whether their companions were dead or alive. The darkness was like a bloody mouth, gradually swallowing the courage in their hearts.Of course they will not forget that the target of the encirclement and suppression tonight is the world's number one swordsman.They were able to overcome their fears when they were in the company of their peers, but when they were alone, cringe-worthy thoughts popped up in their minds.

They stayed where they were, listening to the sound of the wind pass by their ears.

Until a loud noise came from behind, breaking the dead silence.

The two brothers kept staring in the direction of the corridor, but they didn't expect the enemy to come from behind.Duan Changya pierced through the wall of the fourth room with his sword, and he and Liu Hongfeng jumped out of the wall one after another, strangling the Dong brothers' necks respectively.

The two brothers struggled a few times, and soon their hands and feet became limp. The saber slipped from their fingers and fell to the ground with a jingle.

The people staying at the bottom of the building heard the movement and immediately raised their arms and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Wait a minute, I'll shoot the Dong brothers!"

Although some people protested, some people still raised the hand crossbow and shot cold arrows regardless of the life and death of their companions.

Seeing the silver light flashing on the soles of his feet, Liu Hongfeng spat secretly, and said, "Is this how you Dongfengtang treats brothers?"

He released Brother Dong's body, pushed him aside, and drew his sword out of its sheath at the same time.

For the first time tonight, Mo Xiejian showed its sharpness, like mercury pouring down the ground, breaking through the dull and stagnant darkness, and also cutting off the arrows that were rushing towards him.

Seeing that the enemy threw away the barrier that blocked the sword with his own hands, the ambush soldiers downstairs were overjoyed and immediately released more arrows.Some people couldn't hold back anymore and climbed towards the steps.

After all, Song Yungui bought the hearts of more than just Jinze. The disciples of Dongfeng Hall who participated in the siege tonight all wanted to snatch Duan Changya's life and go back to claim credit for rewards.

Liu Hongfeng exerted all her strength and danced the sword wind quickly, while urging: "If you don't hurry up, I will become a skewered fox."

As soon as the words fell, Duan Changya turned his head.

The steps in front of the two made a creaking sound, like a tree whose roots had been cut off, slowly tilted, pulling the floor of the corridor on the second floor to shake violently together.

The steps are embedded outside the building, and there are only two parts connecting with the building, which were cut off one by one by Duan Changya with a quick sword.

Duan Changya suddenly hugged Liu Hongfeng's shoulders, then jumped up and left the corridor with both feet.

As the steps fell, he used the end as a step, and used the footwork of a horse stepping on a flying swallow, jumping higher than before.

Yingge Building is located at the end of the alley, beyond the high wall is a muddy path, and not far away is the woods outside the town.

Duan Changya's escape strategy is to jump out alive.

Dongfeng Hall's people were also aware of his plan, however, when the huge steps were pressed down from their heads, they could only dodge and were unable to make a move for a while.However, some of the arrows released before dodging passed through the gap between the steps and chased the two of them.

Liu Hongfeng held his breath in mid-air, feeling that his shoulders were twisted half a circle, with his back facing outside the wall, while Duan Changya turned his back inside the wall, letting the cold arrow fly past his shoulder.

At the moment of life and death, this person is still protecting him.

Fortunately, none of the arrows hit the target, and when the steps fell to the ground, the two also landed on the top of the high wall.

The high walls are bare and there are no facilities for climbing.As long as you jump to the opposite side, the people inside the wall will have to take a detour to catch up. By taking advantage of the enemy's detour, they can quickly escape into the woods and use the cover of the trees to save their lives.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Liu Hongfeng's eyes widened in astonishment.

He saw a person standing at the end of the steps on the third floor of the dormitory.

Kanazawa.

Liu Hongfeng panicked. If it wasn't for the mask covering his face, his panicky appearance might have fallen into the eyes of the enemy.

He really didn't expect that Jin Ze would wake up.

Just now he was merciful, he didn't take this man's life, he just knocked him unconscious, unexpectedly his defeated general was so tenacious, not only regained consciousness in a short time, but also climbed the steps of the third floor.

The wooden building was crumbling, and Kanazawa stood on the top floor, condescending, overlooking the two unsuspecting people on the courtyard wall.

Kanazawa held an iron staff in his hand.

The iron rod is thick and heavy, and it is a constant item in the dormitories of prostitutes. It is often hidden in a hidden place behind the door, and only you can find it.There are often disputes in the land of Fengyue. Whenever there are guests who do not obey the rules and provoke troubles, the hall guard will rush into the room, find out the iron rod, and teach the uninvited guests some lessons.

The iron rod has no sharp edge, so it cannot kill people on the spot, but the damage caused by a blunt and heavy stick is not inferior to that of a sword.The hall guards often beat the troublemakers to half-mutilation, then throw them out of the courtyard and onto the street, leaving them to fend for themselves.This can not only drive away troubles, but also prevent people from being punished by the government. It is really a good way to protect one's life wisely.

In this chaotic rivers and lakes, there are various ways of survival.Although people who practice martial arts often talk about being chivalrous and trustworthy, when it comes to critical moments, martial arts are like this iron staff, which are only used to protect themselves.

This is true for famous and decent schools, and it is also true for the three religions and nine streams.Because selfishness is the root of human nature, it is really difficult to change it.

Duan Changya looked outside the courtyard, with his back to the dormitory, and did not notice Jin Ze for a while.

He just paused for a moment, then grabbed Liu Hongfeng's shoulders, and jumped up again, impatiently wanting to jump out of the courtyard.

Although the courtyard wall is high, it is not a threat to martial arts practitioners.

There was only one step away from victory, but Liu Hongfeng's heart sank suddenly.At the moment of flying into the air, he clearly saw Jin Ze showing a sinister smile.

Once the two of them crossed the courtyard wall, the people in the courtyard could do nothing, but Jin Ze stood taller, and there were plenty of opportunities to aim from above.

Kanazawa waved his arm and threw the iron rod with all his strength.

The thick metal was spinning and rolling in the air, like a wheel that was out of control, making the sound of whistling wind where it passed, and like a hungry wolf pounced on its prey, it pounced on the overlapping figures of the two.

Time suddenly slowed down, and everything around him came to a standstill. Liu Hongfeng's field of vision was filled with the sudden cold light. He watched the iron rod approaching, and he could clearly see the rust attached to the metal surface. .

At the critical moment, Liu Hongfeng suddenly increased the strength of his arm, involuntarily pressed Duan Changya's shoulder, and pushed it aside.

Duan Changya flew into the air, completely defenseless, let out a low cry, lost his balance just before landing, and rolled onto the muddy ground.

Liu Hongfeng also landed on the ground, one step away from Duan Changya, the moment his back hit the ground, his cheeks were distorted, but the fox mask covered his face and his expression.

An iron staff fell at his feet.

"What's going on? Did it hit you?" Duan Changya asked.

Liu Hongfeng shook his head, stood up quickly, gestured to Duan Changya, pointed his fingertips towards the distant woods, and shouted: "Go!"

Duan Changya was startled
