My enemies became my companions

Chapter 284: Surrender
The cold light of swords and knives flashed outside the door, making the swordsman named Chu Huo Nan look even paler.

A group of bandits dressed in cloth and with red bands on their arms rushed out. The leader had a ferocious look on his face. He first looked around and then walked slowly into the land temple with a sword on his back.

"Chu Huo Nan, you are so bold to take my sword manual. Don't blame me for not thinking of our brotherhood."

He looked at Chu Huo Nan on the ground, then stared at Chen Yi and his group, and asked:
"Are you three his accomplices?"

Before any of Chen Yi and the other two could respond...

Chu Huonan suddenly said in a hurry:
"They are just passers-by. This matter has nothing to do with them. Please do not implicate them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the man with the sword on his back became alert, and he stared at Chen Yi and his three companions.

Chu Honan continued:

"Cui Heng, you can slander me, saying that I stole your sword manual, and you can bring people to hunt me down! But when you are in the martial arts world, you can ignore everything else except righteousness. If you implicate innocent people now, you will be ridiculed by others in the martial arts world in the future. The so-called Eight Directions Divine Sword Cui Heng is nothing but a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"

After hearing this, Cui Heng's expression changed slightly. He was alert at first, and then he became angry. He sneered and looked at Chen Yi and his group sideways.
"Three of you, I believe you are just passers-by, but who knows whether Chu Huo Nan has entrusted the sword manual to you? Please stay and let us search you."

When Chen Yi heard this, his eyes narrowed, Min Ning's hand was on the hilt of the knife, and Li Wenhu also put his hand on the spear on his back.

"We just met by chance, and you want me to search you just like that?" Chen Yi asked calmly.

"Don't let any fish slip through the net." Cui Heng said.

Li Wenhu sneered and said, "Eight-Direction Divine Sword, what a great name."

Among the three of them, no matter who they are, it is impossible for them to allow this man to search them. Not to mention why they should be searched, once they are searched, they will be required to disarm, and then won't they be at the mercy of others?
"Okay, then don't blame me for being rude."

Cui Heng spoke in a nonchalant tone, and the people outside the door were holding weapons, forming a siege.

The sword was already raised, and a fierce look flashed in Cui Heng's eyes.

He was born in Zhujian Mountain Villa, and was an inner sect disciple taught by the deputy villa owner. He already had the strength to become a master, and his martial arts had reached the sixth level. He could have been an elder long ago, but he had never made any great achievements and could not be promoted.

While Chu Huo Nan was out for training, he accidentally found an ancient sword manual in a cave where a Taoist soldier had just left his seat. He came to borrow it with sincerity, but was rejected by his fellow apprentice. Since he was unable to borrow it, he had no choice but to use courtesy before force.

Now they are chasing Chu Hongan to this ruined temple. At first, Cui Heng didn't think these three people had much connection with him, but judging from Chu Hongan's words of protection, perhaps these three people have some friendship with him. Chu Hongan entrusted the sword manual to him, and even if they kill Chu Hongan, in the end they will just see a corpse... Cui Heng doesn't want to gamble, and he doesn't want to lose the sword manual because of his womanly kindness.

Li Wenhu sneered:

“I never thought that in the Gyeonggi region today, there are still people who don’t know how to forgive others when they can.

"It's no use talking more."

Cui Heng raised his sword, ready to strike.

Li Wenhu considered himself a senior in martial arts world, and there was no reason for him to let Chen Yi and the other two stand in front of him, so he took off the gun on his back and untied the cloth strip, exposing the red tasseled spear, which shone with a cold light.

He held the gun in both hands, his body slightly bent, and his momentum was like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Cui Heng took a step forward with both feet, and suddenly rushed forward. The sword flashed with a cold light, illuminating the entire land temple, and made bursts of sounds of breaking through the air.

Li Wenhu exerted force with his feet and lowered his body further.

In this short moment, Cui Heng had already thought of dozens of solutions. If Li Wenhu stabbed him, he would slightly turn his body and directly kill the person with the sword in the throat. If Li Wenhu raised his gun and swept at him, he would leap deep and cut off the person's head with the sword. If Li Wenhu changed from stabbing to sweeping, he would...

When he was halfway through the charge, a fist appeared in front of him.

Cui Heng's eyes widened slightly, looking in disbelief at the owner of that punch - it was a man in black clothes with a sword on his back.

boom!
A powerful punch hit Cui Heng's face. With a terrifying sound, a bone broke and an eye flew out of its socket, rolled to the ground, bounced, turned around, and was covered in dust.

"Brother!"

Cui Heng was knocked to the ground, causing a crack in the tiles of the land temple.

There was blood all over his knuckles. Chen Yi shook his hand and glanced at them coldly. The disciples of Zhujian Villa were all horrified. They just shouted the word "Senior Brother" at the same time, and the rest of the words were stuck in their throats.

Not only the disciples of Zhujian Villa, but Li Wenhu also had his eyes widened when he saw this scene.

He had just got ready to deal with the sword, but unexpectedly Chen Yi suddenly jumped up and punched him in a very unsportsmanlike manner.

But compared to this, he was more shocked by Chen Yi's boxing skills, muttering to himself:
"Amazing Mountain? Cangshan Fist?"

Upon hearing this, Min Ning turned around and glanced at Li Wenhu.

Judging from the tone of his voice, this old man seems to know her grandfather?

Chen Yi, who had thrown a punch, stood still silently without saying much. He looked at Cui Heng and then glanced coldly at Chu Huo Nan who was lying on the ground.

A flash of surprise flashed across Chu Huonan's face.

Chen Yi sneered and looked back at Cui Heng lying on the ground.

This Cui Heng really deserves to be called the Eight-Direction Divine Sword. The fact that he dares to use such a high-profile nickname proves that this man's brain is at such a level that he could be led into such a ditch by Chu Huo Nan.

And Chu Huo Nan was not a very good person either. He knew very well that the three of them had nothing to do with the matter, but he still deliberately made the matter public, just to divert trouble away and create a glimmer of hope out of the dead end.

Cui Heng on the ground barely managed to half-prop up, his entire face was covered in blood and flesh, and his lips made inarticulate whimpers. He had been knocked unconscious by the punch.

The disciples of the Sword Forging Villa outside the door did not dare to step forward for a moment.

Chen Yi was thinking about how to deal with this matter when he heard the sound of breaking wind through the woods.

The person who came was very good at light work. He stepped out suddenly. He also had a sword on his back, a turban on his head, and had a bit of the temperament of a Confucian scholar.

All the disciples of the Sword Forging Villa made way for a path.

"What happened? How did the hunt for Chu Huo Nan turn out like this?" Seeing the tragic situation in the land temple, he spoke in a deep voice.

A disciple of Zhujian Villa stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Cui...he was beaten...seriously injured by Chu Huonan's accomplices."

The man took two steps forward. Chu Huonan's face turned pale, while Cui Heng seemed to have regained some consciousness. He spoke with a weak breath:

"Brother Wu, this man suddenly attacked. You and I are sworn brothers. I hope you can help me and avenge me."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Cui, the deputy owner is on the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingyan stepped forward with his sword in hand, signaling all his disciples to go in and protect Cui Heng.

The person in front of him didn't waste any words and took a step forward.

Wu Qingyan stared at his steps and suddenly noticed the badge dangling from his waist.

He had a certain guess in his mind and asked repeatedly:
"Who is coming?"

Chen Yi did not respond.

The further he moved forward, the more Wu Qingyan felt an inexplicable pressure, and asked again:

"May I ask what your martial arts level is?"

Chen Yi didn't want to say any nonsense, but just took another step forward.

Bang!

Wu Qingyan stared at the badge closely. Seeing that Chen Yi was about to step forward, he became ruthless and without hesitation, he threw away the sword in his hand and said resolutely:
"I, Wu Qingyan, admit defeat! I am inferior to you in skills, so I admit defeat!"

I came late, but I still made it out
