"Elder Tang, Elder Li, it's here!" a disciple behind him suddenly shouted, pointing to the faint city gate in front of him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Zhengfeng turned his head and said to the disciple, "Are you injured here?"

The disciple had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, revealing cleverness, and nodded busily: "The disciples are eating in the tavern in the city, and those two guys from the Tianlongmen are not inferior and insult our Ziyang Sect, and the disciples can't help but make a move......"

Tang Zhengfeng had a calm face and nodded: "Well, let's go, lead the way!"

"Yes. The disciple nodded, not daring to breathe.

He knew that Elder Tang's face was that he was very angry, and at this time, it was best not to appear in front of him.

Twenty-eight horses entered the city, still galloping, the small city was not prosperous, the streets were narrow, and the people were scarce, and they came to a restaurant without hindrance.

This is a three-storey restaurant, located in front of the street, the big word "wine" is displayed in the sky, the building is towering, and the style is extraordinary.

Tang Zhengfeng glanced up and down at the restaurant, glanced at the two disciples, and his eyes were stern: "Hmph, tavern!"

The two disciples blushed and lowered their heads, it was the first time they had come to such a luxurious place, and they had thought that they would finally go to the next mountain, and they would have a long experience, but they never thought that they would fight with people and cause trouble.

"Go in!" Tang Zhengfeng waved his hand and dismounted.

The rest of the disciples dismounted, and two juniors hurriedly came out to greet them, and they were too busy to work.

Tang Zhengfeng said to Xiao Er: "Add high-quality essence, wash it well, and I'm going to hurry soon!"

"Yes, don't worry, the little ones must take good care of them and serve them comfortably!" Xiao Er responded busily, as soon as he looked at Tang Zhengfeng, he knew that he was either rich or noble, and his momentum was majestic.

Tang Zhengfeng handed him the reins, waved his hand, and everyone entered the tavern.

And it came to pass about half an hour, that they came out one after another, led their horses, mounted them, and galloped away.

This time, the ten disciples of Baishengtang walked in the front, and the two of them walked in a row, walking side by side, about five or six zhang apart from each other.

They sat on their horses, their eyes were bright, they looked left and right, and from time to time they leaped off their horses, lay on the ground, or rode in a flash, turned away, and then returned to the team.

In such a hurry, the speed was not fast, Tang Zhengfeng and Li Mingyang walked at the end, their expressions were leisurely, and they did not show anxiety.

The disciples of Baishengtang are not as good as Zhengqitang when it comes to martial arts, but they have their own unique skills, or their eyes are sharp, or their sense of smell is sensitive, or their intuition is amazing.

After a while, everyone went out of the small city, and in front of them was a wide official road, leading straight into the distance, and they galloped forward, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was amazing.

This kind of road is what they like the most, and they can stretch their feet to their heart's content, so that they can hope to catch up.

In this way, every time they entered the village or town, they would inquire about it, probe one or two, and when they left the town and went to the official road, they would go as fast as they could.

In the past three days, at noon on this day, the scorching heat was shining, and the official road was very dry, like a steamer, and white smoke rose when one foot stepped on the road.

Tang Zhengfeng has more than a dozen people with internal strength to protect their bodies, although they are uncomfortable, they can bear it, but they are sweating profusely when they sit down, so they can only stop and rest.

A Baishengtang disciple came to Tang Zhengfeng, hugged his fists and said, "Elder Tang, Elder Li, they should not be far ahead!"

"Huh-?" Tang Zhengfeng perked up.

In these three days of galloping, they almost did not get off their horses to rest, all on the horse, even though his internal strength was quite deep, after all, he was more than fifty years old, and he was exposed to the scorching heat, and his energy was greatly lacking.

The disciple wiped the beads of sweat from his chin and said, "According to the disciples' estimates, we are already within five miles of them. ”

"Okay!" Li Mingyang stroked his hair and smiled, and said, "Finally caught up, and it was not in vain that we worked hard!"

"Third junior brother, don't be happy too early, there is still a fierce battle!" Tang Zhengfeng shook his head and had a calm face.

"With us people, are you afraid that they will have wings?" Li Mingyang said with a smile.

Tang Zhengfeng stretched out his hand and pointed behind him: "You, go with the two people from Baishengtang, identify it, and remember not to let them see the two of you!"

"Disciple obeys!" the two of them clasped their fists together and nodded heavily.

Their eyes flickered, they gritted their teeth, and the sound burst out from between their teeth.

Tang Zhengfeng sat on the horse, thoughtful, and after a while, said, "Third junior brother, you must not miss this time!"

"My second senior brother, just relax!" Li Mingyang said with a smile, got off the horse, and came to a pine tree next to him, barely a little shaded, broke a branch, and waved it gently.

Tang Zhengfeng also got off the horse, came to his side, and sighed: "Third junior brother, don't be careless, this matter involves the life and death of our Ziyang Sect, you can't be careless!"

"Second Senior Brother, the more important it is, the more you need to relax, and you have to lift your weight lightly!" Li Mingyang waved the branch, leaned on the pine tree, turned his head and smiled: "You are so nervous, the strings are tight, and you are most likely to make mistakes, aren't you?!"

"Alas...... You're right. Tang Zhengfeng took a long breath, nodded, rubbed the muscles on his face, and relaxed a little.

Soon, the four horsemen galloped over, ran all the way to Tang Zhengfeng, and as soon as they pulled the reins, the steed man stood up, and Xi Yu neighed.

The four of them jumped off their horses and knelt in front of Tang Zhengfeng and Li Mingyang.

"Can you find it?!" Tang Zhengfeng's face sank and he took a step forward.

"Found it!" a disciple nodded heavily, then hesitated: "But ......"

Tang Zhengfeng frowned: "If you have something to say, you can do it!"

"But, Elder, they are not two, they are five. The disciple looked up and said loudly, with a look of courage to go out.

"Five...... Personal?!" Tang Zhengfeng's face was gloomy, his eyes flickered, and he turned his head to look at Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang took a step forward and said busily: "How old are they, are they all masters?"

"We're not very old, just like us. The disciple said busily.

Li Mingyang stroked his hair and nodded, and smiled slightly: "Second Senior Brother, it seems that things are still possible, don't hesitate any longer, do it quickly, lest you have too many dreams at night and scare them away!"

Tang Zhengfeng was silent, pacing slowly on the ground, his eyebrows twisted together.

After a while, he shook his head, looked up and said, "I'll go and see for myself." ”

Li Mingyang shook his head, smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "It's okay to take a look, let's go, let's go together!"

A Baishengtang disciple was in front, and the two of them walked behind, performing light skills, as fast as galloping horses, and in the blink of an eye, they passed through a small forest and saw a Taoist temple.

This temple is very dilapidated, no one has taken care of it, the walls are broken, and the weeds are overgrown.

Tang Zhengfeng waved his hand at the disciple, signaling to step back, don't follow, he and Li Mingyang slowly sneaked over, came to a broken wall, and quietly looked inside.

Under the eaves in front of the main hall, five people sat on the steps, wearing long swords at their waists, their eyes sharp, and they kept fanning their hands.

These five people are not very old, they look like they are in their twenties, they are sitting together and laughing, laughing loudly, and the interest is quite high.

"This hellish weather, how can it be so hot outside our gates!" a young man muttered, complained a few words, and turned his head and smiled. "Senior Brother Cao, Senior Sister Tian didn't come this time, it's really a little boring!"

In the middle sat Senior Brother Cao, tall and broad-shouldered, looking very mighty, he rolled his eyes and glared at him, stretched out his hand to fight, and hummed: "Senior Sister Tian is also what you dare to make fun of?!"

"Hehe, the little brother doesn't dare, the little brother doesn't dare, with Senior Brother Cao's protection, who dares to say that Senior Sister Tian doesn't say a word?!" the young man laughed and begged for mercy.

"Haha, Senior Brother Zhou, you are bold!" the other three laughed, gloating.

In front of them were a place to eat, beef jerky, braised vegetables, a few baked cakes, a few nests, and four water bladders.

Tang Zhengfeng and Li Mingyang glanced at each other, stepped back gently, and suddenly, there was a soft sound of "pop", and Li Mingyang stepped on a dead branch under his feet.

"Who?!" Someone inside suddenly shouted, and the five people sitting stood up, pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, and looked out of the Taoist temple vigilantly.

Tang Zhengfeng glared at Li Mingyang, pushed him hard, and said in a low voice: "Go!"

Li Mingyang floated and retreated, and he strode in, crossed the threshold, and entered the Taoist temple.

Li Mingyang smiled bitterly, his figure went with the trend, and after more than ten zhang, he pulled another disciple, and walked out of the woods lightly as if his feet were not touching the ground.

"Is there anyone inside?" Tang Zhengfeng strode in, saw the five people in the Taoist temple, smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "The old man passed by here, he was a little thirsty, and wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink!"

A young man's eyes were like knives, he looked him up and down a few times, and said coldly: "There has been no one here for a long time, where is the water?"

Tang Zhengfeng glanced at the five people, looked at the water bladder on the ground, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the five young heroes are here, how about borrowing a sip of water from the old man?"

The tall young man in the middle smiled and pointed to a water bladder under his feet: "Yunyang, give this bag of water to this senior." ”

"Yes, senior brother......" The young man named Yunyang was very dissatisfied, pursed his lips, rolled his eyes at Tang Zhengfeng, and with a pick, the water bladder suddenly flew up and shot at Tang Zhengfeng.

Tang Zhengfeng dodged sideways, the water bladder grazed his body, and hit the wall behind him, with a "bang", and half of the wall behind him collapsed.

"What's the matter with you?, why don't you continue?!" the young man named Yunyang glared, his face sank, and he poked his fingers and shouted.

At this moment, the tall young man in the middle changed his face and shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, someone is coming!"

Tang Zhengfeng turned his head to look, Li Mingyang jumped over the broken wall, fluttered down, the long sword was unsheathed, the cold light flashed, and his face was solemn.

Behind him, ten disciples jumped in and rushed towards five together.

"Let's go!" the tall man shouted, like a thunderbolt, and everyone's ears buzzed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other four turned around and left, without hesitation.

"Chase!" Tang Zhengfeng shouted, secretly screaming in his heart, he didn't expect the third junior brother to be so anxious, and directly led people to pounce, why didn't he block the retreat first?!

Li Mingyang and him had the best light skills, with hard work under his feet, and in a blink of an eye, he had already chased behind the tall young man, stabbed with a long sword, and pounced.

"Let me go!" The four people who ran in front of him kept stopping, and their arms suddenly flung back, and a hidden weapon was under the hood.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding" Tang Zhengfeng and Li Mingyang were in the air, paused suddenly, and waved their swords to protect the front of them, impermeable.

When the two fell, the tall and strong young man had already escaped two feet away, and his body was extremely fast, and he had already jumped on the broken wall and turned over.

Tang Zhengfeng was annoyed, stepped up his feet, and threw himself away.

He and Li Mingyang turned over and walked out of the wall, and suddenly there were hidden weapons in front of them, and when they got closer, the voice came: "Release!"

The two of them felt helpless, so they could only swing their swords and dance together to protect themselves, and their feet naturally stagnated, and the speed was slow.

At this time, the tall young man had already left more than ten zhang away, and was about to flee into the woods when he saw it.

Behind Tang Zhengfeng and Li Mingyang, the disciples were even worse in light skills, and besides, they were not from the righteous hall, and their martial arts were not strong.

"Third junior brother, help me!" Tang Zhengfeng turned his head while performing light skills.

Li Mingyang nodded, his feet did not stop, his face was gloomy all the time, this time the incident was all caused by himself, he was angry and blamed himself in his heart.

With a spin under his feet, he suddenly went around Tang Zhengfeng's back, let out a low shout, and his two palms suddenly pushed out, hitting Tang Zhengfeng's vest.

Tang Zhengfeng flew out violently, the speed was extremely fast, shooting out like an arrow from a string, chasing straight towards the tall young man.

Li Mingyang pushed out with both palms, and his feet couldn't help but slow, and he was busy and speeding up, chasing over there.

Tang Zhengfeng shot out like an arrow from a string, and his body stretched in the air, sliding flat, like walking against the wind.

His speed increased sharply, but the corners of his mouth were slightly bloodstained, and he suffered some internal injuries.

Although the two did this when they were young, they became elders and fought with each other secretly, and the tacit understanding was no longer there, so they did not cooperate well this time.

He was extremely fast, and in an instant, he caught up with the tall young man, and in the air, he drew a sword flower and covered the young man's vest.

The tall young man looked back in surprise, but he didn't expect to be caught up by him like this.

A young man had already run to the edge of the woods, turned around and shouted, "Senior Brother Cao, get rid of him!"

Senior Brother Cao shook his head and shouted, "You guys go quickly, don't stop, I'll get out!"

"Senior Brother Cao, let's go together!" The four people in front of them suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, and surrounded Tang Zhengfeng.

"There are many of them, so it's the best policy!" shouted Senior Brother Cao.

The young man named Yunyang said loudly: "Senior Brother Cao, their martial arts are very ordinary, they dare to provoke our Tianlongmen, let them come and go!"

After that, he pointed at Tang Zhengfeng: "Kill this old guy!"

Tang Zhengfeng had a calm face, his long sword kept moving, and the cold light flickered, beckoning the young man surnamed Cao.

His heart kept sinking, but he didn't expect that this person was young, but his swordsmanship was extremely clever, and his moves were subtle, and he resolved his sword moves one by one.

In this moment, Li Mingyang and more than a dozen of them caught up.

The other four young men were calm, their backs to their backs, and they stood with their swords crossed, looking at them coldly.

"Come and report the name, grandpa won't kill the nameless!" a young man pointed his sword at Li Mingyang and shouted loudly.

Li Mingyang waved his hand, and ten people surrounded them, his long sword unsheathed, and pointed obliquely at the middle of the field, his eyes solemn and motionless.

Tang Zhengfeng said in a deep voice: "Third junior brother, let's join hands!"

Li Mingyang had already seen his situation, and when he saw his hands, he knew that he had not controlled his strength well with the palm just now, and he injured the second senior brother.

He floated forward, his long sword fluttered, and he was about to attack with Tang Zhengfeng.

"Two fight one, what kind of hero!" The young man named Yunyang jumped out and grabbed his sword, and the two of them fought.

Tang Zhengfeng shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone do it!"

"Yes!" the ten shouted in a low voice, and slowly stepped forward with their feet, their steps in unison, their long swords pointing horizontally, advancing little by little.

The other three people of Tianlongmen formed a triangular formation, their expressions were calm, and they could see that the cultivation of these people was not deep and could not pose a threat.

"Kill!" the sound of breaking shouts rang out, and ten people rushed forward, waving their long swords, the cold light flashed, and they all brushed and stabbed in the same direction, each in different directions.

They directly crossed the opponents of the two elders, and the sword light was continuous, enveloping the other three, and the sword light sprinkled down like water.

The three of them were startled, hurriedly swung their long swords to protect themselves, and then saw the trick and fought with them.

With this move, the three of them realized that something was wrong, and the ten people in front of them looked far inferior to themselves in cultivation, but the essence of swordsmanship was extraordinary.

These ten people are divided into five groups in two, one of the two, one is the main attacker, one is defensive, and these five groups of people, up and down, left and right, each group is responsible for one way, specializing in one way.

In a team of two, the two swords are combined, and the power is greatly increased, and its sword light is as dense as rain, and it is like mercury leaking to the ground, and it is as good as the hole, and they have no time to take out their hidden weapons.

The sound of the sword "Ding Ding Ding Ding" was endless, and the three of Tianlongmen were in danger in a blink of an eye, only the power to parry, and there was no way to fight back.

"Ahh

He hurriedly covered his chest, the long sword in his right hand froze, and his right arm, chest, and throat were hit by the sword at the same time, and the blood flowed like a pillar, and he fell straight down.

"Senior Brother Chen!" one shouted, waving his long sword like a madman.

The ten disciples of the Purple Yang Sword Sect did not move, turned a blind eye, and stabbed out their long swords according to their respective positions and footwork, as if they had no emotion.

It was originally three people, but suddenly there were two left, and they were even more unlucky, and that day the Longmen disciples lost their cool again, and only cared about waving wildly.

"Ahh

After two moves, the last person was also hit by five swords and also fell.

"Snort, snort!sss

His eyes were blood-red, ignoring Tang Zhengfeng's sword, and the jade was burning.

Tang Zhengfeng's qi and blood floated, his internal injuries were aggravated, and when he made a move, his speed was greatly reduced, and his reaction was much inferior, seeing him like this, he had no choice but to retreat and get close to Li Mingyang.

"Yunyang, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?!" When the young man surnamed Cao pounced on Tang Zhengfeng, he suddenly folded, and the long sword turned into a white rainbow, stabbing at Li Mingyang, fast and ruthless.

The young man named Yunyang was silent, took a step back, and fled, in that direction, there happened to be no disciples of the Ziyang Sword Sect.

"Don't let him run away!" Tang Zhengfeng shouted angrily, pulled out to chase, jumped up, staggered, blood and qi were drumming, and the injury was serious.

The disciples of Baishengtang chased after him, but they saw him getting farther and farther away, at this time, a figure came out of the crowd, but it was Li Mingyang who chased after him, and the voice came: "You help me kill that guy!"

The ten disciples hurriedly went to surround the Tianlongmen disciple surnamed Cao, but they saw that he had already fled in the opposite direction, and his body was extremely fast, and he couldn't catch up.

"Damn! Damn! shit-shit-!" Tang Zhengfeng hissed angrily, his long sword waved, dirt flew and splashed all over the sky, and the disciples hurriedly took a few steps back.

Tang Zhengfeng stopped, his long sword on the ground, staring at them deadly, his breath was heavy, his eyes were blood-red, and his appearance was very terrifying.

"Elder......" a disciple called softly, cautiously.

"Alas...... It's over!" Tang Zhengfeng threw down his long sword and sat on the ground softly, looking tired, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

After a while, Li Mingyang came out of the woods, his face gloomy, his eyes flickering, but he didn't dare to look at Tang Zhengfeng.

Tang Zhengfeng slowly raised his head, glanced at him, and sighed: "Didn't you leave him?"

Li Mingyang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Second senior brother, I can't ...... it."

"Alas...... Never mind. Tang Zhengfeng waved his hand weakly, and sighed deeply: "It's so far, it's useless to say anything." ”

He looked up at the sky, smiled miserably, and said that it was scorching, and when it shone in the air, his body was cold, without a trace of warmth.

"Second Senior Brother......" Li Mingyang's face turned red and he gritted his teeth tightly.

Tang Zhengfeng stretched out his hand and stroked his face, his face returned to normal, returning to his usual cold and solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the mountain!"

With that, he turned his head and walked away, striding meteors.
