C178 The Journey

Come to Xuan Peng's body, because it's been parked for too long, the body has a strong rotting smell, and if this is the first time you smell this smell, then you'll be eating and drinking for a few days.

Duan Tianya checked the wound. There was only one wound on Xuan Peng's body, which was right in the throat. He died in one move. Looking at the shape of the wound, Duan Tianya drew his sword and compared it with the other. It was more or less the same, but he smiled and said: "Although the wound is very similar to my sword, But I haven't used my sword for three years. "

Xuan Zhengchen looked at him and asked, "Then which sword are you using?"

Duan Tianya took out another sword, the Dragon-scale Sword that Dugu Nan had used before. The sword was shining with a cold light. Xuan Zhengchen asked, "You have been using this sword for the past three years?"

Duan Tianya put the sword back into its sheath and sat down. He said in an orderly manner, "It's a pity that you don't use such a good sword. But no matter which sword you use, it has been a long time since I have killed anyone. "

Xuan Zhengchen asked urgently, "Can you tell who did it?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "It is impossible to know just by looking at the wound, but there is one thing that can be determined!"

"Determined what?"

Duan Tianya said, "This person's sword technique is very good. Just by looking at how clean the wound is, and looking at how many times there are in the martial arts world, we can find some clues. "

Xuan Zhengchen was puzzled. "Do we have to visit them one by one?"

Duan Tianya said, "Although the chances are slim, it's better than finding a needle in a haystack. "

"Why should we trust you?" Hou Jian said while wiping the hook.

Duan Tianya immediately understood Hou Jian's intention. Compared to finding the murderer of Xuan Peng, he wanted to compete with him more. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here.

Duan Tianya said with a smile, "If I can beat that long hook in your hand, will you believe me?"

Hou Jian coldly replied, "Let's beat me first!" After saying that, he walked out of the door. Duan Tianya and Xuan Zhengchen followed closely behind. When he arrived in the courtyard, Hou Jian showed his long hook. This three-foot long hook was full of killing intent, and the tip of the hook was unusually sharp.

Looking at Hou Jian's posture, Duan Tianya poked the sword that was covered with resin on the ground and pulled out the Dragon-scale Sword. Hou Jian asked in confusion, "Why didn't you use that sword?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "That sword should not be unsheathed at this time. "

Hou Jian said seriously, "Is it because I am not qualified?"

Duan Tianya said, "On the contrary, you are very suitable. It is just that this sword is planning to retire. "

Hou Jian said, "What a pity!"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "For this sword, perhaps it is the best choice. "

Hou Jian said, "I heard from Brother Xuan that your sword is very fast and very sharp!"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Ordinary swords and swords will look very sharp when they cut into the body. "

Hou Jian smiled, which was rare to see. " Brother Xuan is right. You are indeed right. What?" He rarely smiled because he smiled with a bit of shyness. This was very rare for the famous cold-faced Vigilante in the martial arts world. Back then, Tang Wuhua could still laugh a few times, but according to legend, no one had ever seen him smile.

Of course, Duan Tianya knew that Hou Jian did not laugh, so he said, "There are rumors in the martial arts world that almost no one has ever seen you smile. "

Hou Jian said seriously, "There are not so many happy things in life. "

Duan Tianya said, "If you defeat me, will you smile again?"

Hou Jian said, "I will definitely laugh at the sky. "

Duan Tianya waved his sword. "You better not leave your laughter to me. "

Hou Jian said, "Let's talk after we beat my hook. "

Hou Jian's hook really lived up to its reputation. Every move was watertight. Xuan Zhengchen, who was standing aside, could not help but nod. After fifty moves, Duan Tianya jumped up high and thrust his sword straight at Hou Jian's throat. Hou Jian turned his body sideways and used the long hook to lock onto Duan Tianya's sword. The hook and the sword were tightly twisted together.

Hou Jian looked up and said, "Your sword has been locked by me. Let's see what you can do. "

Duan Tianya smiled and didn't say a word. He just pressed down the sword in his hand with all his might. The sword was bent. It was like a crescent moon. Suddenly, there was a clear cracking sound. The long hook in Hou Jian's hand was forcefully broken. Looking at the broken long hook in his hand, Hou Jian said, "You seem to be very confident in your sword. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "If you know the price of this sword, you should believe it. "

Hou Jian threw the long hook to the ground. Duan Tianya was puzzled and asked, "You don't want to compete anymore?"

Hou Jian said, "The weapon has already been broken, so there is no need to continue competing. "

Duan Tianya turned around and looked at Xuan Zhengchen, as if waiting for his answer. Xuan Zhengchen let out a long sigh and said, "For revenge, it seems that I have to visit everywhere. "

After hearing this, Duan Tianya carried his sword and turned around to leave. Not far away, he heard Xuan Zhengchen say from behind, "Duan, aren't you going with me?"

Duan Tianya turned around and said, "It concerns my own matters, so of course I want to go with you. But I need to find a few helpers. "

"Who should we hire?"

Duan Tianya said with a smile. "You will know when the time comes. We will meet at Lucky Casino in seven days. "

Looking at Duan Tianya's back, Hou Jian couldn't help but praise. "I never thought that there would be such an expert when the Dragon-scale Sword and Phoenix-tail Sword disappeared from the Pugilistic World. "

Xuan Zhengchen agreed. "Although he is young, his sword technique has already reached perfection. With him. . . I want to find out who killed Peng'er, and I will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. "

Seven days later, at the Lucky Casino. . . Duan Tianya walked upstairs, followed by three people. One of them had a big waist and dark skin. Carrying a large steel staff, he followed behind Duan Tianya in a wobbly manner. The other was dressed in rough clothes. There was an iron sword at his waist, but this sword was forged from a deep pool of cold steel. He followed behind without batting an eyelid. The last one did not directly go upstairs, but stayed below for a while. He glanced around and slowly walked to the back with his sword in his left hand.

Xuan Zhengchen and Hou Jian had been waiting for a long time when they arrived upstairs. When they saw Duan Tianya, Xuan Zhengchen went up and cupped his fists. "Duan, I have been waiting for a long time. "

Duan Tianya looked around and asked, "Senior Xuan has brought so many people with him?"

Xuan Zhengchen smiled and said, "It is easy to do things with more people. When necessary, you need to take care of them. " Seeing the three people behind Duan Tianya, he asked, "These three are?"

Duan Tianya suddenly understood. He pointed at the man with a strong back and a strong waist and said, They are. . . " Tieniu, I'm afraid that Senior Xuan will have to bring more silver taels this time. His appetite is shocking. "

Xuan Zhengchen cupped his fists and said. "Thank you, Brother Tieniu!"

After that, Duan Tianya pulled the man with the iron sword by his waist and said, "Xue Kang of Zhuozhou. "

Xuan Zhengchen still cupped his fists. "Thank you, Brother Xue. "

Finally, Duan Tianya pulled the man holding the sword with his left hand and said, "Meng Chong. "

Xuan Zhengchen smiled and cupped his fists. "We meet again. "
