C282 An Unethical Killer
Duan Tianya looked at Loo Dahai, who was drunk. He couldn't help but wonder how an unknown blacksmith like this could be treated differently by Yaen Shunba.
Although Loo Dahai was a loyal friend, he was not used to such conflicts in the martial world.
Xue Kang and the others left. They were not used to the smell of burnt coal.
Duan Tianya stood up and left alone. He thought of going out for a while.
In the quiet forest, the sound of insects could be heard everywhere. He looked up and saw half a month high in the sky. A few dark clouds passed by, and he could clearly see them.
Suddenly, there was a commotion. A figure flew by. Duan Tianya was not surprised. The black figure flew and shot out a hidden weapon. The hidden weapon was very soft and did not use any strength at all.
Duan Tianya raised his hand to receive it. It was just a locust stone. There was a piece of paper wrapped on it. When he opened it, Duan Tianya could not help frowning. He hurried back to the Lu family's blacksmith shop, but it was already too late. Everyone in the blacksmith shop had died.
They were all killed with one slash. The killer was a professional killer.
Duan Tianya approached Loo Dahai and touched his breath. There was nothing he could do to save Loo Dahai.
At this time, dozens of people dropped down from around the blacksmith shop. Each of them held a steel knife and covered their faces. They raised the torch in their hands. The lights were immediately lit. The man in the lead laughed and said, "I thought you were some powerful character. The Jianghu has made you sound like a god. It seems like you are just so-so tonight. "
Duan Tianya was not in a hurry. He slowly walked around in a circle and sneered, "These dozens of people want to kill me?"
The masked man sneered. "You may not have heard of Seven Fiends Castle. "
Duan Tianya said, "I've heard of it. Tao Yewang of Seven Fiends Castle is also a hero. He wouldn't kill a blacksmith, would he?"
When the masked man heard this, he took off his veil. He was a bearded man. Many people in the Pugilistic World recognized this face. He had two names. One was Seven Evil Star, and the other was Tao Yewang of Seven Evil Fortress.
Duan Tianya said coldly, "I overestimated Tao Yewang's reputation. "
Tao Yewang said. "Reputation is nothing. As long as I kill you tonight, my name will be heard in the Jianghu tomorrow. "
Duan Tianya asked, "Didn't Yaen Shunba ask you to do so?"
Tao Yewang said. "He only asked me to do you a favor. Otherwise, I would like to meet you too. "
Duan Tianya said, "Even if I did, I wouldn't have killed Loo Dahai's family. "
Tao Ye Wang said disdainfully, "Yaen Shunba treated him as a friend. I wouldn't. I wouldn't even blink when I killed a few hundred or thousands of people like him. "
Duan Tianya said, "But he is a very good friend. "
Tao Yewang said. "Unfortunately, he does not have the strength to be a friend. "
Duan Tianya was a little angry. In his heart, the difference between friends and martial arts and status had nothing to do with it. He felt a little nauseous about Tao Yewang's words.
He was not a person who liked to be angry. It was very difficult for someone like Tao Yewang to not be angry. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said. "Although your Seven Evil Fortress has some means, how are you compared to Xiao Chen, Tung Zu, and the others?"
Tao Yewang was startled. Of course, he had heard of who killed Xiao Chen and the others. One should know that not many people in the martial world could kill these people. Even so, he had dozens of experts to rely on. It gave him a lot of confidence. He said coldly, "If those people see our Seven Fiends Castle, I'm sure they will also become my ghosts under my saber and soul under my sword. "
Duan Tianya said, "Is that so?"
Tao Ye Wang asked back, "You don't believe me?"
Duan Tianya said, "I don't believe you!"
Tao Ye Wang sneered and said, "It's not up to you to not believe me. " As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and over 100 bowmen surged out from all directions, and several tens of axemen ran out from afar.
Tao Yewang said complacently. "Now, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings. " He then pulled out the Treasure Sword on his waist and said, "Brothers, if we kill him, our chance to become famous is here. "
Duan Tianya rushed into the crowd, raised his right hand, and struck out with his palm. Instantly, a masked man fell to the ground. He drew his sword, and with a twist of his wrist, a black clothed man fell to the ground. Four or five people fell to the ground.
Tao Yewang and the others surrounded Duan Tianya. After more than ten rounds, many of them had died. At this moment, Tao Yewang and the others retreated. The bowmen took a few steps forward, and their bows and arrows rained down like a storm.
Duan Tianya flipped over a few times and jumped to the side of a table. He flipped the table and turned it into a shield. In the blink of an eye, the table had become the target of everyone.
Duan Tianya kicked the table away, and with a flash, he arrived in front of a wooden stake. On top of this wooden stake was a piece of worn clothes worn by Loo Dahai when he was forging metal.
He tore off his tattered clothes and jumped up. In an instant, hundreds of arrows were shot into the air.
Duan Tianya waved the torn clothes in his hands. The arrows were swept by the torn clothes and instantly lost their power. Duan Tianya flung the torn clothes and returned the arrows that were shot at him.
Wails and screams filled the air. More than half of the hundreds of bowmen were killed in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, the rest of the people did not have the courage to shoot another arrow.
Tao Ye Wang saw that the situation was not good. He had long heard that Duan Tianya's martial arts and sword skills were exceptional, but he did not think that it would be to this extent. It was impossible for him to escape now. Even if he escaped, he would inevitably end up with his head separated from his body in the end. He simply made up his mind and rushed forward crazily with his axemen.
Duan Tianya brandished his long sword and flew up and down. He also fell to the ground to kill to his heart's content.
Although Tao Yewang's martial arts in Seven Evil Fortress was not low and the means of the people in Seven Evil Fortress were also vicious, they had still underestimated Duan Tianya's sword skills. If they could be more meticulous, Duan Tianya would not be so safe and sound.
The surroundings became darker and darker, and the people of Seven Evil Fortress fell to the ground one after another. Tao Yewang could feel the coldness of the last sword strike. It was the coldness of the blade, bone-piercing and merciless. When he was about to die, he was filled with regret. He had underestimated his opponent. And the price he had to pay was his own life.
Duan Tianya sheathed his sword and looked around. At this moment, a person crawled out from the corpse. This person was wearing black clothes and had a face covered with a mask. He was the one who had been knocked out by Duan Tianya's first palm strike.
That person looked at the ground full of corpses and couldn't help but sigh. He took off his veil and revealed his true face. He was Zhang Gui from the tea shop.
Zhang Gui asked, "Why didn't you kill me?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "If you didn't use the locust stone to inform me, I would not have been able to escape unscathed. "
"But after all, I betrayed the Eighteen Gangs. "
Duan Tianya said, "Some betrayals are indeed hateful, but some betrayals are truly helpless. "
Zhang Gui said, "Betrayal is betrayal. "
Duan Tianya nodded and said. "You are right. " He asked, "When did you become a disciple of Southern Five Sects?"
Zhang Gui hurriedly explained. "I'm not a member of the Southern Five Sects. The reason why I did this was to repay Tao Yewang for saving my life. "
"Saving my life?"
Zhang Gui continued, "When I was very young, I was herding cows on the mountain and was attacked by a group of hungry wolves. Fortunately, Tao Yewang helped me. I was unable to repay the favor until. . . "
"Until he found you and wanted to kill me"
Zhang Gui did not deny it nor did he say anything.
