Previously, he mentioned that a dozen or so people with the word "death" on their heads blocked Jiang Cheng's path, and their clan leader, Ding Ah Biao, had even killed them with a single slash.

Jiang Cheng saw that Ah Biao had died miserably in front of him, and knew that the person who had arrived was not friendly. He casually took the Buddhist Monk's Knife that Ah Hu handed to him, and asked in a loud voice: "You dare to harm my servant, who are you people?"

The leader squinted his eyes as he wiped off the scalding blood on the blade with his sleeve and smiled sinisterly: "Those who don't know the rules, deserve to be killed! As for who we are, that's not important at all. "

Jiang Cheng heard the hidden meaning behind his words, and asked: "What is important?"

"You, you, you, and him." The leader pointed at Jiang Cheng and the three servants one by one, and then made a throat erasing gesture.

"Do you know who I am?" Jiang Cheng already saw through their intentions for coming here.

"Jiang Cheng, Prefect of Hangzhou, did I recognize you wrongly?" The leader deliberately asked back.

"Even though you know my name, you still want to court death?" Jiang Cheng provoked.

"Hahaha, I have long heard of Sir Jiang's powerful martial arts and extraordinary skills. Tonight, we are only trying to see if the Vajra Saber in my hand can take off your head. " The leader said as he lazily moved his muscles and bones.

The servant Ah Long asked angrily, "You threatened to kill a court official, do you know that it is a death sentence?"

The leader's eyes suddenly became serious. He waved the great saber in his hand again, and a strong blade aura pounced towards Ah Long. Jiang Cheng had long seen through this move. He grabbed his Buddhist Monk's Knife and combined his Qi to face it. Two intersecting moves that counteracted each other, saving Aaron's life.

The leader laughed as he applauded and praised him, saying, "You are indeed very skilled. Truly a good martial art!"

Although your martial arts are quite fierce on the surface, it is not like you have no way of turning back. If you are willing to say who ordered you, then I can let bygones be bygones and recommend you and a group of brothers to get a position. Jiang Cheng still wanted to rope the person in front of him in.

The leader actually cupped his hands in salute and said with a smile, "Thank you for Sir Jiang's good intentions, but as the saying goes, 'taking money from others and getting rid of calamities'. Since I've already promised others, I can't accept the second family's good intentions, do you think?"

"That's true." Jiang Cheng laughed and agreed.

The leader retreated slightly and instructed in a low voice: "Leave Jiang Cheng to me. The remaining three servants are to be killed without discussion. Do not leave anyone alive." The ten people behind him all answered in unison.

Jiang Cheng knew that the situation was bad, and warned them: "I will hold them back, you guys find a chance to escape."

"Milord, we can't …"

Before Ah Long could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Cheng. "It is extremely urgent, we cannot hesitate, let's go!"

The three servants looked at each other. If Jiang Cheng did not force them with his blade, how could they have the intention to escape? The three of them had no choice but to get on their horses and say, "Sir, please take care!"

"Hurry up!" Jiang Cheng nodded.

The three of them rode out. Hearing the sound of hooves, the leader flew up the tree. His left hand had a few hidden weapons — — "Stinger of Stones". The ten people rushed towards Jiang Cheng, attracting his attention. The leader took the opportunity to release his power. The concealed weapons on the backs of the three servants caused them to fall to the ground in pain. The poison spread all over their bodies and they quickly died.

"You!" Jiang Cheng was furious, he waved the Buddhist Monk's Knife with his right hand and chopped off the right arm of the person in front of him, then kicked it away and shouted: "Since you are feeding this kind of heartless poison to the concealed weapon, if you were to continue staying in this world, it will only harm more innocent people."

"Sir Jiang's meaning is that we should fight one against ten?" The leader pulled over the man with the severed arm and ordered his men to apply medicine on him to stop the bleeding.

"Even if I am about to die, what's there to be afraid of!" Jiang Cheng said righteously.

"Good, well said. Just based on your words alone, I will fight you one on one. " The leader said with a stern expression.

"Brother Wan, you can't do this." The person named "Soong Si" advised him from behind.

The leader turned around and gave him a slap on the face. Turning around, he shouted, "My decision, how can you hold back your words?" As he spoke, he used his body to block the movement in his hands while using his eyes to signal for them to move. Soong Si immediately understood and intentionally said: "You are the big brother, you can do whatever you want." Inadvertently, he took the poison dart concealed weapon.

"Step down!" The leader snapped.

Jiang Cheng took the chance to check on the situation of the three servants.

"Sir Jiang, it's getting late. It's time to send you on your way." The leader's expression turned grim. He used all his strength to wield the treasured saber around his body. In a split-second, wind and dust were stirred up, and the blade aura attacked.

Jiang Cheng showed no fear, and said indifferently: "Such insignificant skill!" He had originally been worried that the other party would swarm over, making it difficult for him to resist. Who would have thought that the leader would actually take the initiative to fight him alone? This immediately increased his chances of survival by a few times.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward, and the Buddhist Monk's Knife slashed up from the bottom right, taking the opportunity to block, causing sparks to fly in all directions. The leader thought to himself, What a great strength, he can actually contend against me head on. He heard that the weapon this person was proficient in was a spear, so how could he be so proficient in saber arts as well?

How could he know that not only was Jiang Cheng's spear skills peerless, his blade skills were not lacking either. He was proficient in every single one of the eighteen great weapons.

The two of them fought back and forth, in the ten rounds of exchange, Jiang Cheng had already understood the leader's sword technique, and laughed: "You block and see this move." After he finished speaking, he rose into the air, his legs split apart, the Buddhist Monk's Knife flying forward like a bird as he welcomed the attack. This technique "Fork" was originally meant to be used by the thin and light of a person, who would have known that when Jiang Cheng used it, he would also be able to move at such a fast speed.

The leader stepped back with his broadsword, retracted his offensive and focused on defense. He then used "Iron Lock Crossing Rivers" to block Jiang Cheng's blade.

"You really do have some ability." Jiang Cheng praised.

"Don't be too complacent!" The leader waved his hand, releasing a strong burst of blade qi. Jiang Cheng stepped away with small steps, avoiding the tip of the blade, and slashed towards the leader's right shoulder. The leader bent his body down, his left hand supporting the ground, he activated his Spirit Qi and pulled, spinning his body to the side, borrowing the force of the spin, he waved his blade out. Jiang Cheng watched intently as he grabbed onto the opportunity of the blade and kicked to the side, if not for the leader's tight grip on his right hand, the Vajra blade might have slipped out of his hand. After these few moves, the leader was already feeling somewhat burdened.

Jiang Cheng thought: As long as I do not use wheel tactics, I can escape safely tonight.

The leader was originally an expert with a blade, and was extremely arrogant, but how could he admit his loss so easily after fighting with Jiang Cheng?

"Ah!" He roared, he brandished the King Kong Blade from the left and right, a dozen strong blade qi shot towards Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng immediately gripped the hilt of his blade with both hands, with the blade head down, he channeled all the inner strength in his body, and used the "Hungry Tiger out of the cage" move, the huge circle of blade Qi clashed with more than ten blades, the impact was not small, Jiang Cheng took three steps back, and the leader took five steps back, with that move, it was clear who would win in that move.

The originally relaxed Jiang Cheng glanced at the dull Buddhist Monk's Knife blade from the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but frown. The leader patted the dust off his body and gestured with the back of his left hand. Soong Si saw all of this.

"Damn Jiang Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, I finally understand." The leader said unwillingly.

"Your knife skills are powerful, but you still need to improve on them. They are not perfect, so I took advantage of you, a person who does not use blades." Jiang Cheng's words were humble, but in reality, it had greatly stimulated the leader.

"Tonight, I will definitely kill you." The leader's expression had revealed his inner self.

"If you don't change your mindset, it will be difficult for you to achieve great things!" Jiang Cheng advised.

"Cut the crap!" The leader stepped up and fiercely kicked the tree trunk in front of him. Using the rebound force of the tree, he performed a Power Slash God's Buddha "with his diamond blade, chopping towards Jiang Cheng's head. Jiang Cheng retracted his blade to block, but he suddenly remembered that the edge of the blade was already dull, if he recklessly blocked the attack, he was afraid that he would be in danger, thus he subconsciously retreated.

Although the Diamond Saber had missed its target, the blade Qi's immense shockwave had a wider range, Jiang Cheng's ears were muddled by the sound, and his clothes were also ripped apart. Just as he was about to counterattack, he felt a sharp pain in his calf. His many years of experience in the martial arts world had taught him that someone had taken advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack.

Jiang Cheng looked down and realized that his left calf had been pierced by the poison dart. He knew very well that the leader would not let this chance slip by. Sure enough, when he raised his head again, the Vajra Sabre was already slashing over, Jiang Cheng endured the pain, wielding his blade to meet the enemy, this attack that was filled with Qi, once again blocked the leader's attack. At the same time, with a "clang" sound, the Buddhist Monk's Knife in Jiang Cheng's hand was also shattered.

Jiang Cheng had just used a large amount of his Qi to defend. Although he managed to stop the leader's attack, the poison had an opportunity to quickly enter his internal organs. The pain was like an ant devouring his heart, causing him to spit out black blood as he felt dizzy.

"Hahaha, Lord Jiang, you won't be able to escape death tonight." The leader laughed wildly.

"Shameless scumbag!" After saying that, Jiang Cheng's blurred gaze turned to the side, not far away. It turned out that it was Soong Si who had used a poison dart to ambush him.

"Do you think this is an arena competition? No! I came here to take your life, ha-ha ha! No matter how powerful you are, right now, the pain is assaulting your heart. Without even needing me to do anything, you will die instantly. " The leader was overjoyed to see such a big thing happen.

"Heh …" I was careless! This official has been magnanimous all his life, but I didn't expect to die here … "In the hands of a despicable person like you." When he said these words, Jiang Cheng was already weak.

"You have been an official for too long. Have you forgotten about this? If you do something foolish, you will naturally have to pay the price for it. However, before you die, I will let you know who I am. I am Wan Xingyun, the sect master of the newly established 'Death Land Sect' sect in the capital. Before long, my sect's name and reputation will shock the entire Martial-arts Circles of Central Plains, hahaha. " The leader laughed wildly.

"As expected … As such, I … this idea... to the point where you are... Who assigned you to die... Earth Gate … Madam … Feng... Available... "Damn it!" Jiang Cheng was on the verge of death.

The blazing blood red light covered Wan Xingyun's eyes, he quickly pounced forward, raised his blade and fiercely slashed across Jiang Cheng's neck, and instantly decapitated him. In this final life or death moment, Jiang Cheng threw out a small stone with his right hand, flying straight for his heart. Wan Xingyun turned pale with fright. From his chest came the sound of metal being bent, and he collapsed to the ground, scared out of his wits.

The subordinates, with the exception of the one-armed man from before, all stepped forward to check on the sect master's condition. Wan Xingyun took out a "Heart Protecting Mirror" that was almost shattered from his undergarments and trembled. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead as he said, "I didn't think that a dying person would have such a scheme. I have truly underestimated you, Jiang Cheng. If it weren't for the Golden Crow's Heart Protecting Mirror, I'm afraid I would have lost your hand just now. "So dangerous, so dangerous!"

After a long while, Wan Xingyun still had lingering fear, but Soong Si took the initiative to call out to him: "Big brother, if we do not quickly take care of the corpses and bury the bloodstains, once we are discovered, I'm afraid something big will happen. At that time, when the lords of the capital criticize us, we will not be able to take responsibility! "

Wan Xingyun slightly nodded as he strongly slapped his cheeks in an attempt to calm himself down as soon as possible. At the same time, he ordered Soong Si to wrap Jiang Cheng's head in a few layers of thick black cloth.

Under Soong Si's command, the rest of the servants' corpses were transported to the dense forest and buried deeply. Following that, he covered the bloodstains with the soil that he had prepared, and then repeatedly stomped on the ground to hide himself. Everything was done flawlessly. From then on, no one knew what happened on this forest path tonight.

The moonlight was hazy and desolate like water. Some people passed away just like that, while others were about to rise up. But what did all this have to do with the Heavens and the Moon?

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
