Chapter 18: A dragnet and a trap of murderous intent!
Is the elephant mountain broken? !
In the past, Zhu Tiandu led tens of thousands of pirates to roam the southeast, burning, killing and looting. It was at Xiangshan Haikou that he landed.
Therefore, since the sea disaster, the Xiangshan city defense has been reinforced several times, and the world-famous "Qi Hu" has personally been in charge, making it almost impregnable.
Even if Zhu Tiandu takes action personally and the thirty-six ship owners come out in full force, it will not collapse at the first touch.
Xu Xing's pupils shrank, his body trembled, and he immediately thought of something.
Could it be...that someone is cooperating inside and outside?
Thinking of what he saw and heard in Zhensi Yamen, Xu Xing already had a guess in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel an unexpected and reasonable feeling.
In Hangzhou alone, so many people were arrested for "travelling with the Japanese". The strict style of party officials can be imagined. What's so surprising about forcing the Southeast to rebel?
Rather, it is a real miracle that the Southeast can persist until now without any major rebellion!
Xu Xingxuan raised his eyebrows, raised his hands like a roc spreading its wings, the muscles on his shoulders and back bulged, his shoulder blades flapped violently, he took a lunge and straightened his feet, and when he took a step forward, the air flow swelled and a strong wind suddenly rose.
His energy was so fierce that it was like a cannon being fired from its chamber. Not only was it extremely fast, it was also wrapped in a fierce burst of energy.
A big crater exploded out of the mud behind him, with mud, water and soil flying everywhere, and there was a continuous dull echo from the bottom of his feet.
Qi Dazhu felt the ground shake and a strong wind blowing. Even with his level of boxing, he felt it was difficult to breathe.
The more than thirty men behind him were even shaken by the blow. Fortunately, after a week of practice, these apprentices had gained some skills and would not fall to the ground.
Next to the official road, there is a deep mountain forest.
More than a dozen strong men wearing smart clothes and long swords hanging from their waists gathered under the shade of the trees. Even in the heavy rain, you can still smell a fishy smell from them that is so strong that it is almost impossible to get rid of it.
Dozens of corpses were scattered around, and the blood pooled into a pool of dark red blood. It was full of broken limbs and chopped liver and intestines. The forest, treetops, and even the ground were all traces of fierce battles.
There was a thin man in black with a knife on his waist, squatting in the bloody mud, slapping the cheek of a Ming army officer.
"If you want to kill, just kill, what nonsense!"
The officer's legs had been cut off at the knee level, and his right forearm had also been amputated. There were horrific wounds on his chest and abdomen. His skin and flesh were rolled up, his body was covered in blood and bones, and his bones were exposed.
This is not a decisive martial art of fighting in battle, killing with one blow, but an execution technique that is almost Ling Chi.
It was obvious that his opponent enjoyed the pleasure of torturing his opponent.
But even so, the officer's eyes did not waver at all.
The man in black raised his lips and showed a cruel smile.
"The Qi Family Army is indeed well-deserved, but unfortunately, Qi Hu is dead!"
The officer sneered:
"If Lord Commander is really dead, would you still set up an ambush here?"
Hearing this, the man in black laughed, full of childish and ignorant pity.
"Withstanding half a punch from the Ghost Emperor, and then resisting the young master's thirteen-handed quick hammer, not to mention the junior Qi Hu among the masters, even if Yu Long was alive and Lu Bing was reincarnated, he would be shattered to pieces End.
With only half a life left, what can I do if I run out? The internal organs are shaking, the bones are broken, and the tendons are broken. Even if there is a magic medicine, it is useless. Even if you can breathe, you can't survive for a few days. ”
He shook his head and said with regret:
"After killing so many warriors from my Inoue family, he was still able to die in the hands of Crocodile Head as a warrior. It was really an advantage for him.
I originally wanted to chop off his head and hang it on the bow of the blood shark ship to show the glory of the Wu family, but it's a pity. ”
Among the thirty-six ships, the ten most ferocious ones are called the "Ten Shark Generals". Each of them is a great boxer who has trained at least three times. Their ship is also named the "Shark Ship".
The man in black is one of the "Ten Shark Generals", the captain of the blood shark ship, Inoue Jusanro.
That shark flag soaked in blood caused countless bloody storms on the sea and caused many tragedies that were outraged by heaven and earth.
At this moment, a muffled thunder echoed across the sky.
A burly man with his upper body naked raised his head, looked at the sky covered by deep forest leaves, and said with some confusion:
"It's going to rain again——"
Before he could say the last word "already", the sky suddenly turned dark and a dozen or so capable pirates turned around to see a shocking scene.
A black shadow enveloped the raging storm and smashed to the ground. It was so powerful that it was like the sky was shattering, collapsing and overturning.
The man's head was forcefully slapped into his chest, and his whole body was torn apart and exploded in the air, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Inoue Jusanro looked up, his eyes shrank like needlepoints, the hairs all over his body exploded, and he exclaimed:
"It's you?!"
Although Xu Xing's temperament is completely different from a few years ago, his handsome and heroic face has not changed at all.
So Inoue Jusanro immediately recognized that this was the maniac who dared to rob himself and the crocodile head when he was alone!
He was punched by the crocodile head, but he didn't die? !
In the rain of blood, Xu Xing also spotted his old acquaintance.
He took a long stride, crossed the distance of five or six feet, rushed to Inoue Jusanro, and said with a long smile:
"Bitch, we meet again!"
Just when he mentioned the word "West", Xu Xing had already arrived in front of Inoue Thirteenth Lang.
He stretched out his ape arms lightly, whipping up the fierce wind and whirlpool, and slashed down with one claw. The force penetrated one by one, tearing out five shrill white marks.
This is still the form of "the heart is caught by an eagle", but it is combined with the violent energy of the "big roc spreading its wings", the shoulder blades are flapping and the bones are vibrating, and it is so fierce that it is a complete mess.
The sky is falling?
After the light in front of his eyes was taken away by Xu Xing, this illusion actually flashed through Inoue Jusanro's mind.
"Covering the sky with one hand!? This person's momentum is actually so strong? How is it possible!"
Although Jusanro Inoue had personally experienced Xu Xing's methods a few years ago.
But he still didn't expect that this madman could not only escape from Zhu Polong's hands, but also become a master quietly!
At this moment, Thirteenth Inoue wanted to scream wildly, but the violent air flow poured into his chest and he could not make any sound.
There was only one way left in front of him.
escape!
Fortunately, Inoue Jusanro was a strong man under Zhu Polong. He had personally learned the master's boxing skills more than once, and his resistance to this kind of mental shock was extraordinary.
Even if his mind was shrouded by Xu Xing's punches, his body could still react appropriately.
Jusanro Inoue instinctively stirred up the Dantian and closed the pores. The Qi flowed throughout the body, accumulating strength in the pelvic bones, hands, feet, knees, shoulders, elbows and hips. Six parts of the body were stimulated at the same time. With the lumbar spine as the center, he bent his body and moved horizontally for several feet.
This is the upper level artistic conception of the dragon shape.
The method is not inspired by the power of the dragon that overturns rivers and seas, nor by the continuous trembling of the blue dragon's scales, but by the unpredictable changes in form of the dragon, which can rise in the clouds and spit out mist, or hide in small ones, and its ability to explore its claws and shrink its bones.
In the underground prison of the Yamen, Inoue Jushiro used this kind of movement to save his life from Xu Xing.
And the level of this "Blood Shark General" is much, much higher than that of his younger brother. He has already reached the level of proficiency and freedom.
However, Xu Xing did not make any changes at all, and followed him like a shadow, making it clear that he wanted to use this move to beat Inoue Jusanro alive.
It was clear that Xu Xing's five fingers were still one foot away from Inoue Jusanro, but he felt a sharp pain in his lumbar spine, and the dragon-shaped body technique was difficult to sustain.
"What?!"
Only then did Inoue Jusanro notice that in the center of Xu Xing's palm, layers of white air waves were swaying and rolling towards him. It was this wave of air that broke his middle waist!
Although the airflow and wind generated by the boxing master's full exertion can blow away ordinary people, it is almost impossible to use this "boxing wind" to injure a great boxer.
However, after Xu Xing reached the ultimate level of skin refining, his energy could be spit out from every pore of his body, and he could evaporate body sweat, using water vapor as a sustenance to create a mist-like change of punching energy through the air.
The power of this kind of energy is infinitely stronger than that of simple boxing style.
This is a bit like Lei Bin's method of not moving his muscles and bones, just using his skin and flesh to shoot flying needles, except that Xu Xing evaporates sweat and uses mist as needles.
In fact, Inoue Jusanro's current skills are not inferior to those of Xu Xing back then, and his body skills are even better.
Even if he encounters a boxing master on a narrow road, he will most likely be able to escape to heaven at the cost of serious injuries like Xu Xing.
However, his opponent was not an ordinary grandmaster, but Xu Xing, the only one in the world who had achieved the "Extreme Skin Refining Realm".
Therefore, with just one contact, this blood shark general, who was famous all over the world, was pulled out of the Tianling Gai by Xu Xing and died beyond death.
After the death of Thirteen Inoue, these people were naturally not enemies of Xu Xingyihe.
He stretched his muscles and bones, and in a few ups and downs, he decapitated the dozens of pirates, leaving only one person lying limply on the ground alive.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Seeing Xu Xing's ghost-like figure, the Ming army officer suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise.
The officer struggled to stand up and opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Xing had already killed the pirates and fell in front of him.
As soon as Xu Xing looked at him, he knew that this man had no way to save himself. He sighed, poked the ground and said:
"Any last words?"
The officer barely pushed himself up, grabbed Xu Xing's arm with his bare left hand, and hissed:
"General Qi, save General Qi!"
The voice gets lower and weaker, until it becomes silent.
Blood foam poured out of his mouth, and the man took his last breath.
In fact, considering the condition of this man's injuries, he was able to persist until now just because he had a breath in his chest and refused to bow to the Japanese pirates.
When the officer first saw the scene of Xu Xing massacring the Japanese pirates, he was so surprised that he also let out a sigh of relief and could no longer hold on.
When Xu Xing was practicing boxing outside the Great Wall, he often cooperated with the border troops. He was used to seeing life and death, so he didn't say much. He just closed his eyes silently and laid the body flat on the ground.
He turned around and faced the remaining pirate.
Seeing this fierce man walking straight towards him, the pirate couldn't help but his legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees.
Xu Xing was not in a good mood, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with such people, so he said calmly:
"If you explain clearly, you can die quickly."
The pirate had been with Inoue Jusanro for a long time, so he naturally knew the torture methods used by these great boxers, which could really make people unable to survive or die.
He didn't even say a word of nonsense, and simply explained the current situation of Taizhou and Xiangshan.
Xu Xing also knew from this that when he led people to practice in the mountains, what great changes happened in the southeast.
Five days ago, Zhu Tiandu, together with his adopted son Zhu Polong and more than 20 great boxers, crossed the sea storm and made a surprise attack on Xiangshan City.
To Xu Xing's expectation, Prince Baolong's method of knocking on the gate was not to cooperate inside and outside, but to use the heavy rain and weather to sneak into the Xiangshan camp and assassinate Qi Jiguang.
As a fellow master, Xu Xing knew how strange this was.
Grandmasters who have entered the path of sincerity have extremely keen perceptions. They can sense murderous intentions within a few miles. How could someone sneak into the camp and assassinate him?
This can only mean one thing. Zhu Tiandu's boxing realm has reached the threshold of "reflecting the void", and his mind is confused with the world, making even Qi Jiguang, who is a master, unable to detect it.
Although they were in conflict, Xu Xing was still moved by Zhu Tiandu's courage to go deep into the Xiangshan camp to carry out assassinations with only a few confidants.
The heroes of the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Compared with Zhu Tiandu's handiwork, his assassination of Zheng and He seemed like a small incident.
Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and grinned, revealing a pair of strong white teeth, as if biting with an invisible fighting spirit and killing intent.
——However, it is this kind of opponent that is worth fighting.
From the moment his master passed away, Xu Xing knew that there would be a battle between himself and Zhu Tiandu.
But he didn't expect that the opportunity for the two to fight would come so quickly.
As the pirate was talking, he suddenly saw Xu Xing's whole body change in aura, like a hurricane raging across the sea, sweeping across the world, roaring in, as if it was going to tear his whole body into pieces.
Although this momentum was quickly extinguished, Hai Ke still felt his chest tightening and his vision going dark, as if his heart had stopped beating for a moment.
In the darkness, he heard Xu Xing's cold words.
"Go on."
Fortunately, there is not only one grandmaster in Xiangshan Camp.
No one thought that the legendary commander-in-chief Zuo of the rear army who had died due to practicing martial arts would appear here.
They did not expect that Lu Bing not only survived, but also made great progress in boxing and martial arts. He had almost surpassed the barriers of the master and entered an invincible level.
Even Zhu Polong, who was fighting fiercely with Qi Jiguang, had to sigh that such Lu Bing was indeed qualified to compete with his adoptive father.
In that battle, Lu Bing and Zhu Tian both exchanged twenty-four hammering techniques, and their punches were like cannon fire. Within a hundred feet of the camp, hundreds of footprints were deeply sunk, cracks were dense, and the ground collapsed like sand!
Even a great boxer could not intervene at all in such a terrifying battle. He could only become a spectator and even stay away from the battlefield to avoid being harmed.
At the end of the battle, the two extremely powerful men were both defeated.
Unexpectedly, just when Qi Jiguang was extremely sad, he used heavy methods to kill Zhu Polong regardless of his life.
The Dragon King raised his head and came back to life.
With a sudden punch, no one could see clearly what happened. Qi Jiguang was beaten to the point where his boxing frame collapsed and he fell out.
Only Zhu Polong, who only focused on the fierce battle in front of him, did not care about the sudden changes on the battlefield. He seized this fleeting opportunity, summoned up his ferocity, bullied himself to kill, and fired thirteen quick hammers in succession.
If it weren't for a monk who was practicing Buddhism, taking advantage of Zhu Polong's opportunity to regain his strength, he rushed out from the slanting stab, resisted three blows, and took Qi Jiguang away. I am afraid that this "Qi Tiger" would have died on the spot.
One of the two great masters was dead and the other injured, and the people in Xiangshan City were panicked. Zhu Polong contacted the masters of the southeastern martial arts in advance and took action at this moment.
Even though the Qi family's army was the strongest in the world, they were still caught off guard when faced with such an attack, which was like a divine weapon descending from the sky.
Night fighting is the area where great boxers excel, let alone in such rainy weather?
Therefore, although the elite troops were reluctantly organized to cover Qi Jiguang's retreat, they could no longer worry about the city's defense, and the Xiangshan defense line collapsed at the first touch.
After all, no one could have imagined that Zhu Tiandu and Zhu Polong would be able to carry more than twenty great boxers across the country through hurricanes, huge waves, heavy rains and other extreme weather conditions.
Even for a strong master, this is a miracle.
Fortunately, after Zhu Tiandu punched him back to life, he had no time left to take care of him. He could only recuperate in Xiangshan and wait for the 36-ship army to land after the rain stopped.
Therefore, the only person leading the team to hunt down Qi Jiguang now is Zhu Polong, the "Crocodile God of the Four Seas".
He knew that if Qi Jiguang was not dead, he would definitely flee to Taizhou, so Zhu Polong and his group of great boxers were scattered in the mountains and fields leading to Taizhou, searching for traces of Qi Jiguang.
For Xu Xing, this means one thing.
——Next, the dozens of miles to Taizhou will become difficult to walk.
