Chapter 4: Are we going to fight a top-notch expert?
Chapter 4 Are we going to fight a top-notch expert?
Just as Liu Mang was feeling sorry for Lin Zhennan's miserable experience, a loud but panicked voice rang out outside the training room: "Chief Escort! Chief Escort! Something terrible has happened. One of our teams in Hebei has been detained by the Tiger Village!"
Liu Mang's face changed, and he flew out of the room. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he stood in front of a burly man outside the door in an instant. Liu Mang secretly glanced at his appearance and dress, and compared it with the information given by Wang Wan, and instantly confirmed the identity of this person. He was Shi Biaotou, who had been stationed in the Lin family for a long time and obeyed orders, and was his confidant.
"what happened?"
Escort Leader Shi wanted to continue shouting, but suddenly he heard the voice of the Chief Escort next to him. He looked closely and found that the Chief Escort had stood in front of him without him knowing when!
Shi was shocked and secretly sighed that the chief escort's martial arts had improved again. He didn't even see the chief escort's figure when he was approached. If the chief escort wanted to kill him, wouldn't it only take one move? At the same time, he was secretly happy. The chief escort was his second parent and the boss he swore to follow all his life. He was proud of Lin Zhennan's strength.
"My report to the chief leader. I just received a letter from Chief Sun Yan of the Hebei branch via a carrier pigeon, saying that a team led by Chief Shi Zhuang was surrounded by the Menghu Village when they passed through Motianling in Handan. The other side had no moral principles and directly launched an attack. Chief Shi Zhuang risked his life to send out only one escort to report the news, and the rest of the brothers were captured. There is no news from them at the moment!" Chief Shi explained quickly to Liu Mang, with hatred for the Menghu Village on his face.
Liu Mang's heart sank, he knew that Menghu Village was no small force, there were nearly 500 people in the whole village. Its leader Zhou Meng and second in command Zhou Hu were both well-known second-rate masters. Zhou Meng was even a master known as the "Pai Yun Nu Lang". It was said that his sword was like raging waves and he could disperse the clouds with a flip of his palm!
Liu Mang had never seen Zhou Meng in action, but just because he had established the Tiger Village for nearly thirty years without anyone attacking it, and it was located in Hebei, the headquarters of the Demon Cult, Blackwood Cliff, he knew that this title was not bad, and it was probably not worse than Tian Boguang, who walked alone for thousands of miles! Lin Zhennan had certainly taken care of such a famous master before, and now he suddenly turned against him, I'm afraid it was because he didn't give him the filial tribute this year.
It is almost the New Year now. In the past, Lin Zhennan had already arranged for tributes from various forces to be sent out. However, after Liu Mang traveled through time this year, he was obsessed with practicing martial arts and completely forgot about this matter, which led to the team being detained. Once the money is delivered, the Menghu Village should release the people.
Liu Mang pondered for a while, then instructed Escort Leader Shi: "Send a message to Escort Leader Sun Yan to bring 1,000 taels of silver from Kuli to the Tiger Camp to redeem the team and the goods, and inform Zhou Meng that he was too busy this year and neglected the brothers. I will go to his house to have a drink and apologize to him later. In short, you must ensure the safety of the brothers!"
Shi Biaotou quietly raised his head to glance at Liu Mang, then quickly lowered his head. With your gloomy face and eyes full of anger, you don't look like you are going to apologize!
Shi Biaotou nodded and went to pass the message, leaving Liu Mang alone to sulk. He had to endure the obvious kidnapping and extortion by the Tiger Village. His brothers were still in his hands, and he was not strong enough, so he could only endure it temporarily. It was foreseeable that this would not be a special case, because he did not manage any forces this year, and anyone with a little confidence would come in the same way. Liu Mang had no way to deal with this for the time being.
As expected, in the next few days, teams were frequently detained and goods were robbed. The stronger ones were treated the same way as the Tiger Camp, and the average ones who took advantage of the situation to rob were sent away with 100 taels of silver. If they refused, hundreds of escorts would surround them and force them to accept. Liu Mang had been dealing with similar things for a whole week. During this period, nearly half of the nearly 100 escort teams in the entire escort agency had problems, which made Liu Mang furious and he vowed to eliminate these robbers.
Today Liu Mang's strength is not weak. He has second-rate internal strength and close to first-rate swordsmanship. He is not the worst among second-rate masters, but facing those famous second-rate masters, he is still far behind. He has only been practicing Sanyang Kaitai for more than a month and is very short of time.
In fact, in addition to experience points, his daily practice of swordsmanship and internal strength is also effective, but his aptitude is really hard to describe. After a month of self-practice, he was just able to get started with swordsmanship, and his subsequent practice progress was so slow that it was almost invisible. It was only after adding points that he absorbed ten years of gains in an instant and made a leap forward.
The next time he adds some sword skills, he will need 50 days of experience, which is the same experience needed to add internal strength now. However, his internal strength has just reached the second rate, while his sword skills are almost about to break through to the first rate. It can be seen that the experience required to add points to the two at the same level is different, and the internal strength required is much higher than that of the sword skills.
Of course, this is normal. In the early stages of martial arts training, accumulating internal strength is inherently more difficult than practicing techniques. When a first-rate master has trained his internal strength to a first-rate level, he can often practice several martial arts to the same level at the same time. This is reasonable. Only when martial arts are practiced to a very high level and require the understanding of the mind, spirit, intention, momentum, etc., will it be slower than the accumulation of internal strength. It is just a question of the early and late stages. As a time traveler, Liu Mang has no doubts about this.
Practicing martial arts is a process of perseverance. Even if Liu Mang has the unreasonable talent of accumulating soil to form a mountain, it will still take a long time of hard practice for him to grow into a first-class master.
A whole year has passed since the last incident at the end of the year. Now that the end of the year is approaching again, Liu Mang's mentality has become completely different. He is looking forward to someone stroking his tiger whiskers so that he can take action and verify the results of his practice over the past year.
Liu Mang is now undoubtedly at the level of a first-class master, and is no worse than Yu Canghai. Why does he dare to say this? Because the last time he added some sword skills, he really fought with Yu Canghai in the instilled memory. This can be regarded as a small surprise. Although he can't remember other life experiences, he remembers martial arts clearly. Of course, he doesn't know who the person in his memory is, but he guessed the identity of the enemy from the two martial arts of Songfeng Sword and Destroying Heart Palm.
He added points to his internal strength twice to reach the first-class level, added points to his swordsmanship once to reach the first-class level, and added points to his newly found light skill 2 times to reach the first-class level. Yu Canghai was just as good as him! This gave Liu Mang more confidence, and he wanted to test the quality of the heroes in the world!
Of course, he was not stupid. He had arranged for the major sects to be sent out long ago, and he was too lazy to run over to make arrangements for those far away as well. Only the nearby forces without first-class masters were left, namely the three provinces of Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang. It was completely a sting operation.
Greed, as one of the original sins of mankind, is not so easy to overcome. Take the Evil Wolf Gang, a local force in Fujian, for example. The entire gang has only a hundred people. The gang leader Huo Shan is only a third-rate person, and their activities have not even left Putian. Yet, such a small gang actually robbed the Fuwei Escort Agency, which has the background of Putian Shaolin Temple, in Putian!
The moment Liu Mang received the news, he was in disbelief. You know, among so many forces and sects in the world, only the Putian Shaolin Temple had the best relationship with the Fuwei Escort Agency, and even many of the escorts in the agency were lay disciples from the Putian Shaolin. Even under such circumstances, a small local gang from Putian actually robbed the goods of his Fuwei Escort Agency, and they did it in Putian!
What kind of courage is this? Huo Shan usually keeps a low profile, but who would have thought he was such a brave man!
Not only Liu Mang couldn't believe it, but the Putian Shaolin Temple, which received the news, also couldn't believe it. The abbot and the other leaders discussed overnight whether there was a trick or not. They were afraid that this was a conspiracy by the evil cult to lure the snake out of its hole, so they didn't dare to take action at the first time.
Liu Mang didn't have so many thoughts. He rushed to Putian as soon as he received the news, fearing that if he arrived too late, Shaolin would uproot them.
However, in less than a day, Liu Mang arrived in Putian and blocked the door of the Evil Wolf Gang that night. Liu Mang was confident of his powerful martial arts and intended to show off in front of his younger brothers, so he ordered the leader and the escorts not to take action, as he wanted to take down the entire Wild Wolf Gang by himself!
The accompanying escort leader Shi was horrified, thinking that the chief escort had lost his mind due to rage, and thought that how could there be someone in this world who could fight a hundred people alone, so he hurried to dissuade him.
But Liu Mang moved too quickly. Before Shi Biaotou could even say a word, he saw Huo Shan's head flying up in the crowd opposite him. The scene suddenly became silent. The shouting and cursing from both sides stopped abruptly, as if they were choked in the throat.
Liu Mang stood in the crowd of the Wolf Gang, looking around. No one dared to look at him. Instead, they retreated and some even got their pants wet. They were just low-level people with a few kung fu skills. They had never seen such a terrifying martial arts master. The two sides were more than 20 meters apart. Lin Zhennan almost instantly crossed the distance and cut off the head of their boss. All they could see was a black shadow. Such a master was no different from a ghost in the eyes of the Wolf Gang. They had lost their courage and dared not to take action again.
Seeing that no one dared to resist, Liu Mang also lost interest. He waved his hand and asked the escorts to arrest people. Those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be disabled should be disabled, and the rest should be ignored. The government will come to deal with it the next day. The underworld forces, the ancient underworld, are like this.
The next day, Liu Mang visited Putian Shaolin Temple early in the morning and had a cordial meeting with the current abbot of Southern Shaolin, Master Du Chi, for a quarter of an hour. Master Du Chi was an elder of the same generation as Lin Yuantu, and was a disciple of Master Hongye in his later years. He was more than 60 years younger than Lin Yuantu and was almost years old now, but with the blessing of his powerful internal force, he looked only about years old, and he was vigorous and muscular, like a hero who could run a horse on his arms!
During the exchange, Liu Mang felt a lot of pressure. He hastily made some connections and then resigned. He didn't feel relieved until he left Putian Shaolin Temple.
This Zen Master Du Chi had such strong skills that every word he spoke seemed to be a lion's roar. Although the sound was not loud, it was lingering like thunder in his ears, forcing him to use his internal force to resist. Liu Mang was secretly shocked. Is this the top master?
This trip was not just to deal with the Evil Wolf Gang, he also wanted to destroy all the forces that dared to lay a hand on the Fuwei Escort Agency. The three provinces were not far from the Fuwei Escort Agency headquarters, and if he traveled at maximum speed, three days would be enough for him to reach any place in the three provinces.
Facts have proved that the reputation of the Fuwei Escort Agency is not that useful. Once the arrangements are not in place, many people will dare to take action. For more than a month, Lin Zhennan traveled to dozens of places in three provinces and wiped out 11 gangs of large-scale bandits, 2 local gangs, and even sects, both of which were passed down for decades. Now that they have been completely wiped out, I don't know if the two sects who decided to snatch his leader will regret it in hell.
Now, he was rushing to the headquarters of the last large inter-provincial gang, the Tianpeng Gang, which was founded by Jia Zhengpeng, the Iron Sword of the Divine Gate, 20 years ago. It has now developed into a large gang spanning Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang. Its influence in these three provinces is not even inferior to that of the Fuwei Escort Agency. Liu Mang actually managed this gang because Jia Zhengpeng was an abandoned disciple of Wudang!
Regardless of whether Jia Zhengpeng was really expelled from Wudang, Liu Mang regarded him as a fake. It was very normal for such transcendent entities as Shaolin and Wudang to have some arrangements. After all, Wudang did not come to retrieve the martial arts.
The Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate is a very advanced martial art passed down by Wudang, and is not inferior to the 5000 unique skills of Shaolin. Such martial arts cannot be used by an abandoned disciple, so Liu Mang tends to believe that Jia Zhengpeng is a pawn arranged by Wudang Sect, and even sent taels of silver to his door, but for some reason he still attacked him. And the attack was ruthless, killing the leader Shen Biaotou!
No matter what Jia Zhengpeng's motivation was, he would never let the man who killed him go. He had practiced hard for more than a year, not to ignore his brother's death!
Except for some of the 84 escort leaders who were left behind by Lin Zhongxiong, most of them were invited by Lin Zhennan himself. He called all of them brothers. They had drunk together, farted together, and met each other's families. Now that one of his brothers is missing, he should make Jia Zhengpeng pay with blood!
After crossing the mountain and the river, Jia Zhengpeng had been waiting for a long time on a hillside with his men. Liu Mang's group of more than 200 people, all riding horses, could not hide their whereabouts, and Liu Mang did not intend to hide it, so Jia Zhengpeng had received the news a long time ago and was waiting here.
Looking at the man on the white horse, silver sword, green robe and short beard, Liu Mang immediately confirmed the other party's identity. Jia Zhengpeng did the same. He determined who was the key to this operation at a glance, who was Lin Zhennan!
There is a difference between first-rate masters and second-rate and third-rate masters. This is not just a difference in strength, but also because the internal strength of first-rate masters has begun to feed back to the human body, and they have initially possessed the characteristics of refining the energy of heaven and earth. When their spirit is perfect and their energy is sufficient, their spirit will be able to manifest externally, producing an aura that is completely different from second-rate and third-rate masters. Lin Zhennan came with murderous intent, exuding iron blood and strength, and was instantly sensed by Jia Zhengpeng.
Similarly, Jia Zhengpeng wanted to get a piece of meat from the Fuwei Escort Agency and coveted the Book of the Sword of Exorcism. His greed was almost revealed. When Liu Mang saw him, it was as if he saw a hungry wolf with its bloody mouth wide open and roaring to the sky!
Damn! Both of them felt depressed. They had never thought that the other party was a master of the same level as themselves before coming. This battle was going to be difficult!
First, the original technique is used, and then Zixia is used
