King of Assassins

Tao Zhengren, the Nine Palace Divine Sword, is one of the four great swordsmen in Jiangnan.

I came to Qinglin City in the northwest because I heard that the divine weapon Dragon Sword was found in Duanlong Mountain, so I came all the way from the south of the Yangtze River.

For a swordsman, the most famous sword is his favorite.

The Dragon Song Sword was the sword of the Sword Master hundreds of years ago. It is said that the Dragon Song Sword also contains the sword manual of the Sword Master who conquered the world.

Tao Zhengren came all the way here just to see what happened.

As a result, yesterday he had something to do to meet friends, and his two daughters were molested by a lecher, and they almost fell into the trap.

Tao Zhengren was in the world, but he had never suffered such a loss. It's just that everyone has run away, and he is unfamiliar with the place, so he can only ask his friends to look for it.

It's not easy to find a thief in a huge crowd.

Tao Zhengren didn't hold out much hope. He didn't expect that as soon as he entered the city today, there was a wanted portrait of a prostitute posted at the gate.

The official document made it very clear that Gao Xuan was originally a new escort from Zhenwu Escort Bureau, but he ended up raping and murdering a young girl and then escaped on the spot.

The first of all evils.

The knights who walk around the world hate the thieves the most. They are like bandits and robbers. They may be forced by circumstances and have no choice but to do so.

The adulterer has no reason. He is just a bad person with an adulterous heart. Therefore, if you encounter a lewd thief, you will kill each one, and you will never kill the wrong one.

Tao Zhengren is a veteran of the world, and although his murderous intent is strong in his heart, he will not act recklessly.

The huge Qinglin City has a population of one to two hundred thousand people. Not to mention that Gao Xuan was not here, even if he was hiding here, where would he go to find someone.

Tao Zhengren said to his two daughters: "The Feiyun swordsman He Chuan is in Qinglin City. I have sparred with him in the early years. Although this man's swordsmanship is not as good as mine, he is also a first-class swordsman. He comes from a famous family. Since we are here, why I also want to visit his home..."

The two daughters naturally have to listen to their father.

Tao Zhengren and his party also had an old woman and two servants who also learned swordsmanship from Tao Zhengren and were considered half apprentices.

Tao Zhengren was a great swordsman, so of course he had to be attended to when he was out. It is not convenient for him to come forward for some trivial matters.

Just like asking for directions,

Of course there are servants to do it. indivual

Everyone in Qinglin City knew about Feiyun Sword Hall, so they found the location after just asking around.

He Chuan, who was chatting with Sanniang when he heard that Tao Zhengren came to visit, was startled, "Why is this man going to the windy and sandy land in the northwest if he doesn't stay in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Sanniang said: "Are you here for the Dragon Song Sword?"

"This old man has a bad mind. Even if he really discovers the Dragon Song Sword, will it still be his turn?"

He Chuan shook his head: "This man defeated me by one move in the early years, and he boasted proudly everywhere. He actually had the nerve to come to me. He really regarded me as a good friend, haha..."

He Chuan thought it was funny, but Tao Zhengren was too self-aware.

The two sides had a fight once, and they didn't get along very happily. This guy was so polite that he came directly to the door.

Sanniang's eyes flashed with a cold light: "This person is so ignorant, I will help my elder brother teach him a lesson!"

"Forget it, we are all Wudang disciples after all. If something happens to me, it won't be easy to explain."

He Chuan said: "The most important thing now is to catch that little kid. It will be difficult to let him escape from the northwest."

Sanniang said with a face full of shame: "Gao Xuan and I are not familiar with each other. We are all sent by the chief helmsman. Who would have thought that this boy would be so bold and want to act chivalrously? It is really unreasonable."

Sanniang couldn't figure out what Gao Xuan was doing.

Growing up in a sect, even if I didn't do any bad things, I was still influenced by it and my bones became darkened.

Why did Gao Xuan seem to be a completely different person within two days of arriving in Qinglin City?

Gao Xuan's performance last night also surprised Sanniang.

Gao Xuan's methods of doing things were insidious and secretive, and she, a seasoned person in the world, immediately followed him.

The method of forcing her to question Golden Silk Palm was even more sophisticated. Asked repeatedly from front to back, not giving her any chance to lie.

What's even more frightening is that Gao Xuan seemed to have turned into a golden silk palm in one fell swoop.

This matter was so unbelievable that Sanniang did not elaborate on it with He Chuan.

Anyway, as long as Gao Xuan is caught, no matter what martial arts genius he is, he will be chopped with one sword.

No, cut off all five of his limbs and salt them in a vat. Use this kid as an example to let others know the consequences of betraying the sect.

He Chuan didn't think so much. He said to Sanniang: "Tao Zhengren is an old man. It's inconvenient for you to be here. Go to the back and wait."

Sanniang turned around and left for the backyard. She is He Chuan's cousin, and because of this relationship, she became the helmsman of Qinglin City.

But no one outside knew about her relationship with He Chuan. This time, thanks to this relationship, she escaped.

Otherwise, if the human trafficking thing is exposed, Feihuamen will kill her to silence her in order to clear up the relationship.

Sanniang returned to the back house to rest. In the afternoon, He Chuan came to the door.

Sanniang was a little surprised: "Brother, don't you want to entertain Tao Zhengren?"

"The old man is arrogant. I have nothing to say to him."

He Chuan said with a strange smile on his face: "However, the old man's two twin daughters are beautiful. Jiangnan women are gentle and charming, they are really the best."

Sanniang understood: "Brother likes it, I will help you win over this old man."

"What can you do?"

He Chuan reminded: "Although Tao Zhengren is arrogant, he is a veteran of the world. He is very familiar with all the ways of the world. If he sees through Xingzang, it will be troublesome."

If he really wanted to fight with a sword, He Chuan was not sure he could beat Tao Zhengren.

The south of the Yangtze River is full of beautiful people and talented people. Tao Zhengren can be known as the Four Great Swordsmen of Jiangnan. You can imagine how good this man's swordsmanship is.

What's more, He Chuan also lost to Tao Zhengren. I feel really bad for this guy.

Sanniang smiled proudly: "I am far inferior to my elder brother in swordsmanship and martial arts. But when it comes to poison traps, I am better at it.

"I happen to have a bottle of Mi Shen Powder in my hand. This medicine is a Yin and Yang medicine powder. One is placed in incense and the other is placed in wine."

Sanniang said: "The two medicinal powders are non-toxic separately. The incense can be placed in the old man's room. When he drinks alcohol at night, the old man will be poisoned. After being poisoned, he will be numb all over and lose his mind. He will be slaughtered by us."

He Chuan was more cautious and asked Sanniang to take out the magic powder and drink it in the wine before confirming that there was nothing wrong.

Although Mi Shen Powder also has some medicinal residues precipitating, it is extremely subtle. There is no peculiar smell when drinking it. It's really the first-class poison.

Not to mention poison, even ordinary drugs are difficult to be colorless and odorless. As long as you are more experienced, you will be prepared when you go out.

Therefore, it is really difficult to use poison to plot against others.

Mi Shen Powder also has a lot of restrictions and cannot take effect immediately. And the flavor of yangsan is rich. Even if combined with incense, it can easily trigger alertness.

It's just that Tao Zhengren didn't expect that this would be calculated, so he probably wouldn't notice anything wrong.

Sanniang added: "When Tao Zhengren is dealt with, I will still have some love potion here. Give it to the two girls and they will immediately turn into sluts..."

He Chuan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, let's make fun of these sisters tonight."

He added: "Let the old man watch from the side. I also avenged the sword strike many years ago."

Sanniang also laughed sinisterly. She had done many bad things, so she must not think there was anything wrong with this kind of thing.

On the contrary, she was a little excited.

The powder was quickly placed in the incense burner and sent to Tao Zhengren's room.

Tao Zhengren felt that the aroma was a bit strong and pungent. He said to his two daughters with disdain: "The northwest is desolate and run-down, and they don't understand the rules. The incense must be thin, long and lingering, then it is of the highest quality. The aroma is pungent, that's it. For changing clothes.”

The two girls also laughed: "Yes, this place is so run-down. There are horse manure everywhere on the street..."

"The characters in the northwest are also rough, with red faces, dust on their beards and hair, and oil stains on their clothes."

Tao Ying suddenly thought of Gao Xuan, "That thief is so handsome and clean. He doesn't look like a local at all."

Tao Zhengren was about to speak when he suddenly heard an unusual sound.

The sound was actually very low, like a feather falling to the ground. But such a small sound was like thunder in Tao Zhengren's ears.

The Wudang Zhengfa he practices has pure and profound internal strength. It reacts keenly to such unusual sounds.

Tao Zhengren instinctively held down the hilt of the sword, and with a flash of white light, a flying knife broke through the window.

Tao Zhengren's eyes were sharp while he was using his internal energy, and he saw at a glance that there was a note on the flying knife. He flicked it with his sword, and the person had already pushed the door open and walked out.

A black shadow had already risen into the sky and climbed onto the eaves. Then it flashed and disappeared.

Tao Zhengren saw that this person was agile and agile, and in such a complicated environment, it was impossible to catch up with him if he was a few steps behind.

His face was full of doubts. Someone dared to sneak into Feiyun Sword Hall and throw throwing knives at him in broad daylight? This is too courageous.

This guy didn't mean any harm. But I don't know what he wants to do.

When Tao Zhengren returned to the room, he saw that his two daughters had picked up the throwing knives. Think of the note as well.

His face darkened: "What did I tell you? The world is dangerous and turbulent, so you must be extremely careful. How do you know there is no poison on the knife, and how do you know there is no poison on the note?"

The two girls were a little nervous after being scolded. Tao Ying carefully handed the note to Tao Zhengren: "Father, there should be no poison in it. However, this note said that He Chuan is a bad person..."

Tao Zhengren opened the note and saw that there were many words written densely on it.

The note first said that He Chuan was a bad person, and then said that He Chuan had given them the magic powder. When they drink at night, they will definitely fall into the trap.

The person who sent the note was sneaky, and of course Tao Zhengren would not believe it easily. But the other party sent a note specifically to frame He Chuan, which was a bit unreasonable.

Tao Zhengren opened the copper stove for incense and took a look. As expected, there were two types of incense inside. This is very abnormal.

According to the note, he would be poisoned when the two drugs combined when he drank alcohol at night.

Tao Zhengren shook his head and sighed, what is going on?

Although he and He Chuan were not good friends, they both came from well-known families. The other party was so crazy that he poisoned him. Why?

Tao Ying and Tao Hui were very nervous, "Father, what should I do?"

"fine."

Tao Zhengren sneered: "If He Chuan really wants to cause trouble, my sword is not a decoration."

In the evening, He Chuan held a banquet in the hall to entertain Tao Zhengren and his daughter.

There were few people at the wine table, except for Sanniang, who was accompanied by a few of He Chuan's proud disciples.

These disciples had never seen such a charming beauty from the south of the Yangtze River. Their eyes widened when they looked at Tao Ying and Tao Hui.

Tao Ying and Tao Hui were unhappy. He Chuan's disciples looked at people with rude and rude eyes, and they didn't have the demeanor of a famous disciple at all.

The two girls also believed a little more about what was written on the note. They are young, and their faces look very serious when they have something on their mind.

Tao Zhengren turned out to be very sophisticated, with a calm expression on his face, and he was having a great time drinking with He Chuan.

After a few glasses of wine, Tao Zhengren's face suddenly turned pale. He covered his forehead and said, "Something is wrong. My head hurts."

As he spoke, the wine in his hand spilled, and the man slowly fell down.

He Chuan smiled coldly: "Old man, you deserved this disaster because you came to the door yourself."

He smiled lewdly at Tao Ying and Tao Hui again: "You two eldest nieces, don't panic, uncle will serve you comfortably..."

He Chuan has done this kind of thing so much that he has no scruples about saying these things.

Tao Ying and Tao Hui were horrified. He Chuan, who had acted like a senior just now, suddenly spoke so lewdly and wildly, it was as if he had changed into another person.

He Chuan was smiling happily when suddenly there was a flash of sword light under his feet. By the time he realized something was wrong and hurried back, it was already too late.

Lying on the ground, he made a strange backhand sword swing. The long sword passed under He Chuan's crotch, leaving a long sword mark on his lower abdomen.

He Chuan pushed with such force that the sword marks on his body split open and the organs in his stomach flowed all over the floor.

The bloody scene also shocked everyone else. Sanniang looked straight at He Chuan who was covered in blood and felt like the sky was falling. She didn't understand, how could it become like this?

At this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Good swordsmanship."

Sanniang turned around and looked over, and saw Gao Xuan floating in from the front door, clapping his hands with a gloating smile on his face.

Sanniang suddenly realized that it must have been Gao Xuan who had tipped off, causing their conspiracy to fail and allowing Tao Zhengren to attack and kill He Chuan with a sword.

"It's you, you deserve to die..." Sanniang looked at Gao Xuan and screamed miserably. She waved her palms and was ready to settle the score with Gao Xuan.

"It was I, the upright and awe-inspiring Young Master Gao, who exposed the vicious conspiracy of you villains!"

Gao Xuan's words were sonorous and forceful, but he had no intention of taking action.

"You're the one who deserves to die."

Tao Zhengren, an old Jianghu, will show no mercy once he takes action. He swung his sword and stabbed Sanniang directly.

Sanniang knew that she was outmatched and hurriedly used her body skills to retreat backwards. Tao Zhengren suddenly shouted in a deep voice. The sound of the shout was like an invisible sharp cone piercing into Sanniang's ears. The shock made Sanniang's eyes suddenly turn black and she backed away. The retreating movement suddenly stalled.

The sword in Tao Zhengren's hand pierced Sanniang's heart.

Without waiting for Sanniang to react, Tao Zhengren slapped Sanniang away with the palm of his left hand. The woman fell to the ground spitting blood and died on the spot.

The remaining disciples of He Chuan were frightened and fled out of the gate together.

Tao Zhengren said solemnly: "On the surface, we are upright and honest, but behind the scenes, we do all kinds of evil. I won't let you stay!"

Tao Zhengren was really angry after being almost plotted against by He Chuan. The other party is also thinking about his two precious daughters, and his thoughts are extremely vicious. This also inspired Tao Zhengren's murderous intention.

The Four Great Swordsmen of Jiangnan are no joke. Tao Zhengren would never show mercy now that he had taken action.

The martial arts skills of He Chuan's several apprentices were mediocre, far behind Tao Zhengren. In addition, He Chuan and Sanniang were both killed, and the disciples were so frightened that they had no courage to take action.

Seeing Tao Zhengren coming, several disciples dispersed and fled out of the gate.

Tao Zhengren chased after him and struck each one with his sword, killing three of them in the blink of an eye.

The last remaining disciple had already run to the gate.

"Where can the thief go!"

Gao Xuan shouted loudly and raised his hand to throw a flying knife.

In panic, the man swung his sword to call, but the flying knife drew a subtle arc. With this slight change, the flying knife flashed past the sword and hit the man's throat. The four-inch long flying knife disappeared into the hilt.

The man clutched his throat and threw himself to the ground, but he was not dead for a moment. His legs twitched and his eyes turned white.

Tao Zhengren went over and pierced the man's heart with his sword, giving the man a good blow.

He Hengjian looked at Gao Xuan coldly: "Boy, who are you?"

Gao Xuan raised his hand to Tao Zhengren and said, "My name is Gao Xuan, and I am nicknamed the Jade-faced Little Dragon. We are all chivalrous, and when we are in trouble, we should draw our swords to help. You're welcome, Tao Daxia."
