Chapter 103 The Smoke Rises
"Brother Du, I'm here to help you!"
Amidst the rustling of the pines, a hurried shout came through the forest.
However, Tian Hongxu broke free from the entanglement of the Zoroastrian leader and rushed to the rescue.
Upon hearing the words, Gao Yuan slowly turned around, his clothes fluttering slightly, standing still like a lone pine tree on a mountain peak.
Tian Hongxu's lightness skill was quite good; he arrived in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, he suddenly saw two corpses lying in the pine forest. Upon seeing the fatal sword wounds on the bodies, his gaze darkened and his eyelids drooped slightly.
"Who are you, daring to kill people from Penglai and the Zoroastrianism!"
"Hmph! Is there anyone the Murong family of Gusu can't kill?"
"Did Chief Tian come to keep Old Man Du company because he was afraid Old Man Du would be lonely on his way to the underworld?"
"Don't try to confuse the public about the Murong family of Gusu."
Tian Hongxu was a shrewd and experienced man; how could he possibly believe his words?
Although the person opposite him was masked, his clear voice told me he was a young man.
Considering that this man in black must be exhausted and his internal energy greatly depleted from fighting two masters alone, he couldn't help but feel a bit contemptuous of him.
Just as Tian Hongxu was concentrating his energy, preparing to step forward and test the man in black.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of energy surging beside him, and his heart skipped a beat.
"There's an ambush!"
Suddenly, a black-clad swordsman appeared from the side of the pine forest, his blade flashing, aiming straight for vital points.
Tian Hongxu hurriedly channeled his internal energy and fought the black-clad man with the knife for about ten moves, eventually driving him back!
He hasn't spoken yet.
The sound of clothes rustling through the air rang in my ears again, and I quickly looked up!
"besides?"
A slender figure swooped down from the tree branch like a ghost, its palm strike fierce and aimed straight at the face.
Tian Hongxu had no time to dodge and exchanged a palm strike with the newcomer.
When the two clashed, it was clear that Tian Hongxu's skill was superior, and the man in black was forced to retreat more than ten feet.
Just as Tian Hongxu was about to speak, another person leaped out from under the large rock on the right.
This person was tall and slender, holding a bamboo pole with an iron hook hanging from it, and his movements were exceptionally agile!
Facing four men in black alone, he turned ashen-faced and utterly disheartened.
It turned out that a net had already been laid out around the pine forest.
We must escape!
"Don't you want to avenge your son?"
Tian Hongxu's feet shifted slightly, preparing to break through, but Gao Yuan's words made him stop in his tracks.
"Did you kill my son?"
"right."
Tian Hongxu's eyes were bloodshot.
Why?
Seeing that the other three remained silent, Tian Hongxu ignored them, channeled his anger into his Yongquan acupoint, and prepared to rush towards Gao Yuan.
But Wang Wei and his two companions had already blocked all his escape routes and charged forward.
Although Tian Hongxu's martial arts skills were superior to those of Wang Weizhi and others.
However, he couldn't withstand the perfect coordination of the three opponents. Their sword flashes, palm strikes, and iron hooks formed a triangle, preventing him from taking another step forward.
Now it's three against one, and Tian Hongxu is only thinking about revenge, so his mind is entirely on Gao Yuan.
Facing Li Wan and her group, they recklessly attacked without defending.
Before long, he was already panting heavily.
His body was covered with knife marks of all sizes, and deep ravines.
At that moment, his eyelids twitched.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gao Yuan take two steps forward.
When facing an enemy, if the two are evenly matched, the worst thing is to lose focus.
His momentary lapse in concentration created an opening, and in a moment of distraction, he felt a sharp, piercing pain in his chest.
Upon closer inspection, a deep gash, revealing bone, appeared on his chest, his robes soaked in blood.
"Pah! This old dog is really troublesome. If he hadn't been distracted and unable to fight with full concentration, he probably would have dragged us out for a while longer."
""
The cave master of Huangyan Cave, Wengzi, pulled off his mask, spat, and spoke with utter disgust.
Tian Hongxu clutched the wound on his chest, blood seeping through his fingers. He swayed, his eyes filled with despair.
Gao Yuan slowly walked up to Tian Hongxu.
"You ask why I killed him?"
He bent down, his voice calm: "He committed countless evil deeds, shutting down shops and attempting to rape someone's daughter. He deserved it!"
"I heard that Chief Tian once rose to prominence as a chivalrous figure, but..."
""
Gao Yuan shook his head, leaving the rest of his thoughts unsaid.
No—no—
Tian Hongxu's lips trembled, his consciousness gradually blurred, and the words of the man in black seemed to fade into the distance, yet every word remained clear.
Suddenly, an image flashed before his eyes.
Under the peach tree.
The young boy, dressed in shorts and clutching a freshly picked peach, stumbled up to him and called out in a clear voice, "Daddy, try it, it's sweet!"
At that time, Tian Guixi's eyes were as clear as a spring.
How could it be—how could it be like he said?
Was it because his wife died young and he had no one to discipline him?
Or perhaps I was too busy with my own affairs and indulged him repeatedly?
Countless questions arose, but no answers could be found.
The pine trees rustled in the wind, carrying with them a stench of blood. Tian Hongxu's eyes widened, and then he fell silent.
Meanwhile, as Gao Yuan ambushed and killed three people on the outskirts, the situation in the center of the pine forest was also changing rapidly.
The remaining Zoroastrian followers, seeing the help of the black-clad experts, immediately gained momentum and engaged in battle with the scattered forces of the "Three Righteous Gangs".
Duanmu Yuan, Kuang Jifeng, and others resorted to their old tricks, cooperating with the Zoroastrian sect to kill the three gangs of Penglai.
In an instant, the tide turned, and the scales of victory tipped in favor of Zoroastrianism!
The troops brought by Du Lingzi and Tian Hongxu were decimated.
The remaining deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect also died under the combined attack of the group.
After killing the righteous forces, the only remaining deputy leader of the Zoroastrian sect stepped forward to pay his respects, wanting to ask which brother from which altar had helped him.
Before he could finish speaking, he was struck dead on the spot by Kuang Jifeng.
At this moment, the remaining Zoroastrian followers realized that the newcomers were enemies, and in their horror, they could only frantically swing their weapons in retaliation.
Although they outnumbered each other, the experts from several gangs in the area had already been killed or wounded, and Hao Yingzong and Qiao Feng had fought their way out and disappeared.
However, no one could match Kuang Jifeng and his group.
With the group working together, the center of the pine forest soon fell silent again.
The pine forest stretches eastward for several miles, ending at Quanxi Lake.
Gao Yuan followed the signs of the fight all the way to the forest by the stream.
suddenly!
His ears twitched slightly, sensing something was amiss.
I leaped up to the tallest pine tree in the forest, stood on a thick branch, and looked out towards the lake.
Along with Yu Hui, two figures could be seen on the lakeside, one fleeing and the other chasing, locked in a fierce battle.
A gentle evening breeze stirred the lake, causing wisps of mist to rise and the water to shimmer.
The two fought on the lakeshore, their energy bursting forth, and even from a distance, the sounds of water breaking and rocks exploding could be faintly heard.
It is evident that the two people currently fighting are both masters in the martial arts world whose skills are no less than those of Du Lingzi.
Identify your target.
Gao Yuan leaped lightly among the trees and soon arrived at the riverbank.
now.
Hao Yingzong gripped the Sacred Flame Token tightly with his five fingers. The token was entirely crimson, with faint flame patterns flowing around it.
"Young man surnamed Qiao, neither of us can do anything to the other, so why do you insist on chasing after this old man?"
Hao Yingzong gradually retreated, and the red shadow created by the Sacred Flame Token was beginning to show weaknesses.
He fought Qiao Feng for dozens of rounds. Although he was able to remain undefeated, his blood and qi surged every time they clashed. Unfortunately, Qiao Feng's stamina was long and powerful, so he could not gain any advantage.
This kid surnamed Qiao in front of me is absolutely troublesome!
With this thought in mind, he suddenly held the Sacred Flame Token horizontally and used the impact of the palm strikes to quickly move away.
At the same time, he flipped his wrist, and several poisoned silver needles shot out, aiming straight for Qiao Feng's face.
Qiao Feng dodged the silver needles by sidestepping, and with a sweep of his palm, all the silver needles were knocked down.
Just as he was about to use his strength to pursue, his gaze inadvertently swept towards He Lin.
A hint of doubt flashed across his brow.
seem.
Someone is spying on us from up there!
