C36 Attacks on rainy nights

One day, in the evening, the sky suddenly darkened and dark clouds covered the sky, enveloping the entire imperial city. A torrential storm was about to descend upon the city.

At this time, it was the rainy season in the south. The rainy season had become the symbol of this season in the south. The people were used to the flood. Natural disaster raids were always hard to guard against, so every year, unfortunate people from the south would become victims. After the flood, the farmland was flooded, the houses were swept away, the people were displaced, and they lived in misery. What was even more unfortunate was that the plague actually followed.

Returning to Beijing, in the Pleasant Lai Inn, Shao Jian stayed in his room and sat in front of the window to watch the garden. Before nightfall, the sky had already turned dark, and the visibility had plummeted. Within the garden, the scene of a few hours ago being filled with red flowers and green willows had now become overshadowed. The wind howled as it blew against the trees, causing the dust on the street to fly into the air. The pedestrians had no choice but to cover their faces with their scarves as they hurried forward, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain before the storm. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky, followed by a thunderous boom that seemed to want to destroy the entire earth.

Shao Jian who was deep in thought was awakened by the loud sound, his brows knitted tightly, as though he was startled by the sudden thunder. When he came back to his senses, he raised his head and looked out the window at the drowsy horizon. Following that, another series of dazzling flashes of lightning followed by rumbling of thunder could be heard. Moments later, a torrential rain began to pour down like a river from the heavens. The streets were flooded with water. Those who did not have the time to avoid the rain could only stagger forward through the torrential rain and water. The fierce wind mixed with the ice-cold rain water rolled into the room, wetting Shao Jian's clothes who was sitting by the window.

Shao Jian quickly got up and closed the window, causing the entire room to become dark. He then fumbled his way to the table and lit up the oil lamp, then sat down on the edge of the bed and took out the 'Self-less mental cultivation method' and started flipping through it. In a few days, he would be able to learn the first layer of the 'Anatta mental cultivation method'. During this period of time, whenever he was free, he would take out one of the two secret manuals and flip through it. After an unknown amount of time, the gale had stopped and the rain had started to lessen.

Just as he was falling into a deep slumber, he suddenly felt a slight movement outside the room. He only saw a shadow appear outside the door, followed by several other silhouettes. Shao Jian stood up immediately, the black iron sword and the Xuanyuan sword were carried behind him, he went behind the door quietly and listened for any sounds outside, just at this time, the door opened slightly with a small crack, a very thin pipe extended out, following that, a wisp of green smoke with a slight fragrance came out from the pipe.

Shao Jian hid behind the door, right beside the pipe that was reaching in. Smelling the smell of smoke, he thought: Not good, it's a sleeping incense. He used his hand to cover his nose, and then quietly moved to the window. He gently opened the window without making any sound, and then jumped out of the room and into the garden.

A drizzle was still falling from the sky, following that, Shao Jian's body flickered, and he jumped up to a height of 30 feet. He flipped in mid-air, landing gently on the roof, and then slowly walked to the top of the door.

Then, the voice said softly, "Let's see if he still has any abilities. I'm afraid that he'll be smothered by the incense and now he's sleeping as happily as a dead pig. If you guys go in, whoever captures him first will be rewarded." With a slight creak, the door was opened and a few figures entered.

Shao Jian felt that the person who spoke just now had a familiar voice, but he could not recall where he had heard it before. After the few people entered the room, he gently floated down the stairs, and heard light footsteps in the dark room. Then, Shao Jian slowly walked into the room. Since he had been in this room for a few days, the layout of the room was clear without being seen. He moved it gently to the table. They did not bump into anyone, and with the darkness in their room, they thought Shao Jian was one of them, so they did not mind.

At this time, Shao Jian suddenly said coldly: "Is everyone looking for me? There's no need to look for me, I'm right behind you."

Those people were immediately shocked. They did not expect that the incense could not charm him down and had instead fallen into his trap. The sound of footsteps became one, and together with the sound of chairs being knocked over, the few of them were already in a mess, they ran out the door in extreme fear, wanting to lure Shao Jian in to the light outside.

Shao Jian coldly snorted, "Since everyone is here, why are you so anxious to leave? Does this make it seem like I'm not very hospitable? " As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a gust of wind shot towards the door. With a sound, the door was closed. Seeing that the others had blocked their way, they quickly turned around to make their moves.

At this time, Shao Jian ignited the oil lamp, only to see that the few of them were in a mess, both of their hands were waving chaotically, the wind from their palms blew everywhere, laughing coldly, after taking a closer look, the other party was actually the captain of the mysterious organization, Xie Shi and her four subordinates, they were saying that the voice just now sounded familiar.

Shao Jian laughed coldly: "What are you planning to do by coming here?"

The light from the oil lamp suddenly lit up, causing Xie Shi to be unable to open his eyes. After gradually getting used to the light, and seeing that Shao Jian was standing not even 10 meters away from him, he was shocked, and immediately retreated two steps: "If the other party had attacked while in the darkness, even if I did not die, I would have been crippled, it was truly dangerous."

Seeing that he had taken two steps back, Shao Jian's face changed. She could not help but sneer: "Since you dare to bring people here, you definitely have complete confidence. Why are you still afraid? "If I had wanted to do it, you would have been lying down in shock. Why wait till now?"

Xie Shi glanced at Shao Jian, and coldly shouted: "Don't you dare spout such nonsense here, you think you can kill the few of us with just you alone, you truly overestimate yourself. "Hmph …"

Shao Jian said: "Then give it a try." After which, he moved forward and sent two palms forward at the same time. Xie Shi and his four subordinates all flew to the two sides. Then, with a twist of his body, he attacked.

Shao Jian thought: The space in the house is too small, I can't use any moves, adding on to the large commotion caused by the battle in the house, if there are spectators, it will be troublesome, the rear garden is a good place to go. Then he jumped out of the window and into the back garden.

Seeing him leave the room, Xie Shi thought that he had seen too many people and was afraid. He wanted to slip away, and laughed: "Shao Jian, what's wrong? You haven't even started and you're already thinking of running away? "

Shao Jian laughed coldly: "Run? I wonder who it is that's really trying to escape? If you catch me, you can come out. "

Xie Shi laughed sinisterly: "So what if I come out, I'm not afraid of you anymore, I won't force you to use any tricks." Just as he finished speaking, he leapt out of the room and stood in front of Shao Jian, causing the four lackeys to jump out as well. The four lackeys stood at four corners of the room, surrounding Shao Jian.

Xie Shi said coldly: "Shao Jian, this captain will have you pay the price for the subordinate you killed last time."

Shao Jian laughed faintly: "That depends on whether you have the ability or not."

Xie Shi let out a cold snort, and at the same time, his four men activated their bodies, attacking the major acupoints on Shao Jian's body. Shao Jian's hands crossed each other in front of his chest, flipped a few times, and then pushed forward. With a light shout, his body soared into the air, avoiding the attacks from behind him. The instant he leapt into the air, the palm winds coming from all directions collided with each other in the middle. With an explosive sound, rainwater scattered everywhere and grass flew into the air. Xie Shi and the rest were forced three steps back by the powerful force. Shao Jian took the chance and turned, floating back to the ground.

When Xie Shi saw that Shao Jian had landed, he immediately went over together with his four men, using his fists and feet at the same time. Shao Jian laughed coldly, his figure moving back and forth nonstop as he waved his hands quickly. He exchanged blows with the few people who were attacking him, then retracted his palms and slapped them on both sides, immediately knocking away the two men from the mysterious organization beside him. His figure then shot forward, his palms moving forward with the wind. His two subordinates immediately went forward to welcome him. Bang! With a dull thud, the two of them were pushed back. Lying on the ground in mid air, one of their hands turned into a claw, grabbing at Xie Shi who was right in front of them.

Xie Shi was secretly shocked, he did not think that the other party would be able to easily dispel the attacks of his four subordinates, causing him to soar into the sky, and striking towards Shao Jian with his palm. The two of them clashed, one combining and the other splitting, Shao Jian's body spun to attack again, and the two of them clashed again. In the air, the two people's four hands intertwined and their legs were not idle as they kicked towards each other. Sounds of fists and kicks rang out and the two people's bodies hit the ground from the air and then back into the air. Just then, there was a loud sound, Xie Shi's chest was struck, his body was hit, causing him to fly backwards, he fell back a few times, then tumbled back and landed back on the ground, he staggered a few steps back before stopping, his chest was moving up and down intensely, and there was a bit of blood on the corner of his mouth. Shao Jian also landed back on the ground.

Seeing that their captain had suffered a loss, those subordinates hurriedly went forward and asked: "Captain, are you alright?"

Being struck by Shao Jian's palm just now, there was no place for Xie Shi to vent his anger. Coincidentally, he saw the kind greetings towards Xie Shi as a ridicule, and shouted angrily: "A few trash, why are you looking at me? "If you have the ability, come over and kill him." He then looked straight at Shao Jian.

Those subordinates of his were completely confused by his curses, they looked at each other, what was wrong with them, they only asked him one question out of good intentions, but they were already scolded, and did not dare to ask another question, it was really like they were mutes taking advantage of the situation, they could not say anything, there was no helping it, who asked Xie Shi to be their superior.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of swords being drawn sounded out. Four swords were unsheathed at the same time, and following that, four human figures rushed over while shouting. Shao Jian laughed coldly, his right hand reached behind him and taking out his black iron heavy sword, a silver light flashed and the black iron sword in hand waved at the four people who were attacking, a sword qi shot out, rushing straight at them. A series of clanging sounds of weapons clashing rang out. Shao Jian did not even use black iron sword s to directly exchange moves, how could there be the sound of weapons clashing? Taking a closer look, the sound just now was the result of the four disciples own swords clashing together due to Shao Jian's Sword Qi.

Seeing this, Xie Shi's face immediately became ashen, and he cursed: "All of them are trash."

At this time, Shao Jian stood in front of them and looked at them coldly. His body shook and the black iron sword in hand waved its hand, releasing a powerful shockwave that cleaved through the rain, instantly forcing all five of them to retreat. waved his right hand, and a black pellet flew out. It landed in front of Shao Jian and exploded, causing thick smoke to immediately rise out of the darkness, bringing with it a pungent smell, enveloping Shao Jian within.

After a while, the smoke dissipated, and Shao Jian was just about to rush up to stop them, but seeing that Xie Shi and his four underlings had all disappeared without a trace, he sighed, returned his sword to its sheath, and with a leap, entered the room.
