On the table, there was an oil lamp.
Even though it was just a small flame, it was enough to light up the small guest room.
This cold night was destined to be sleepless.
Therefore, Duan Keyi did not intend to go to bed at all.
He sat by the table, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing.
For an expert of his level, this level of rest was enough to recover the physical and mental strength he had lost during the day.
"To deal with an old man like me, there's no need to mobilize so many people ..."
Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said this.
Before he finished speaking, he had already opened his eyes and reached for the sword on the table.
Almost at the same time as he held the scabbard, a series of "PU Pu Dong Dong" sounds suddenly burst out around him.
That ... Was the sound of a hidden weapon piercing through the window paper and wooden boards.
Not only the doors and windows, but even the walls, ceiling, and floor were pierced by hidden weapons ...
It was impossible to Dodge such an attack. Even if the person being attacked had a huge shield in his hand, he might not be able to guarantee that he would be unscathed. Moreover, Duan Keyi only had a sword in his hand.
Fortunately, it was not an ordinary sword.
This sword was called 'half profound' because when it was forged, a portion of profound iron was added.
"This black iron is the world's most precious treasure. It is extremely difficult to obtain even one tael of it. As long as you add half a tael of it into an ordinary blade, spear, sword, and halberd, any ordinary iron will become a powerful weapon."
It was obvious that the black iron added into sect leader Duan's half profound sword was more than half a tael of silver. Although it was still far from Yang Guo's 100% Dark Iron heavy sword, which weighed 64 kilograms, it was more than enough to deal with the current situation.
Duan ke stomped on the ground with one foot and jumped up. He moved his right wrist quickly and the sword light followed.
Relying on the magnetic properties of the Darksteel, he blocked the hundreds of hidden weapons that were shot from all directions with a seemingly simple spinning movement.
Da da da da
After a breath, Duan ke also fell from the air and landed on one foot.
The soft sound of his landing told the people outside that ... The target was still standing.
Of course, this was not the result they wanted. The purpose of their visit today was to make Duan Keyi lie down forever.
Thus, their offensive was not over yet.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh
Immediately after, a series of wood breaking sounds could be heard, and two strong figures appeared.
The two men sprang out from under the floor and appeared on both sides of Duan Keyi. They instantly formed a pincer attack on him.
And this ... Was within Duan Keyi's expectations.
Duan ke obviously knew the other party. It was the leader of the Mad Tiger Gang, tu Ji, who was also known as the "Tiger-faced Arhat".
"Hehe ..." Tu Ji sneered,"that's right. It's because he's outstanding ... That no one knows about it."
These words were very reasonable. Dead people couldn't go around talking nonsense.
"What a pity ..." Duan Keyi said,"compared to this way of dying, I'd rather die under the Arhat's Tiger fighting palm."
"You don't need to use this method to provoke me." The smile on tu Ji's face was still there."I know what you're planning ... I won't take the bait." He paused for a moment before he continued,"sect master Duan, we both know very well that since I've chosen this method to deal with you, it means that I've already admitted that your martial arts is better than mine. I can even tell you frankly that even if I practice for another eight to ten years, I still don't have the confidence to beat you now. "
Upon hearing this, Duan Keyi's heart sank. He knew that his plan to lure the other party to him was impossible."Hmph ... You're quite self-aware,"
"That's right ... If I didn't have this bit of self-awareness, I would have died countless times. " Tu Ji's tone didn't sound like he was ashamed, but rather proud.
And ... When he said that, he stood still at the door, not taking half a step forward. It was clear that he didn't want to give the other party any chance to fight back.
"Duan Keyi, you're an expert and an open and aboveboard hero.
"Therefore, I'm not sure. You have the right to be arrogant.
"But ... You also have an obligation to pay the price for your arrogance.
"Tonight, it's time for you to pay the price."
As he spoke, the smile on tu Ji's face disappeared, and his voice became colder and colder, "Don't worry about the Dian Cang disciples you brought, they are already waiting for you on the road to hell. "
Duan Keyi's face was livid. His anger accelerated his heartbeat and pulse, and also accelerated the poison's effect in his body.
"Tu ... One day ..." Sect master Duan still wanted to leave his last words.
But tu Ji interrupted him with a cold face,""I know ... I've heard that too many times. But those who said that are all dead, and I'm still alive. I'm living a better life than them."
After saying this, he slowly took a few steps back. Even in this final moment, he did not turn his back to his opponent, nor did he reveal the slightest flaw.
"Brothers, send sect master Duan on his way!"
With tu Ji's order, another round of hidden weapons was fired, and this time ... Duan ke did not even have the strength to raise his sword.
............
At the same time, in Wang Qiong's mansion.
In the darkest moment before dawn, a figure silently walked out of his room and stood in the empty courtyard.
He just stood there, in the pitch-black darkness, without saying a word.
A moment later, a spot of light suddenly appeared less than ten meters away from him.
There were two people in the light, a man and a woman.
The man was looking at him with a smile, while the woman was expressionless and holding a strange-looking lantern.
"Ha ... This gentleman, you're up so early." Feng bujue greeted the man with a smile.
Cheng Wei stood there, his cold eyes staring at the two people in front of him, not responding.
"We're here to pay a visit to boss Wang, Wang Qiong. I wonder ... If you can inform him?" Brother Jue continued nonchalantly and made a request.
After another five to six seconds of silence, Cheng Wei finally spoke,""Who are you?"
He didn't ask this question because he was going to report to the two of them. Cheng Wei only wanted to know ... Who exactly were these two people who had knocked out all the hidden sentries around the mansion and successfully entered the courtyard?
