A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 72: Bloody Massacre in Deserted Temple
Duan Rong then saw that there was indeed a pit next to the courtyard wall not far away, and next to the pit were two small piles of broken soil.

Duan Rong smiled and said, "You dug a hole that's a bit too small!"

"Small? Why do I feel like it's just right for you?" Kong Bin said coldly.

Duan Rong sighed and said, "Of course it's suitable to pretend to be me! But it's a little small to pretend to be you four!"

"You're about to die, but you're still being stubborn!" Kong Bin's face was ferocious, and his teeth were gritting, but he didn't dare to attack Duan Rong actively. He just squeezed the knuckles of his hands holding the oxtail knife until they turned white.

Duan Rong, however, had a blank expression on his face. Suddenly, with a "swish", he pulled out the oxtail knife tied at his waist!

Duan Rong pulled out his knife, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng. Kong Bin was still able to remain calm and stand there motionless, but Zhang Zheng's face had turned pale and he couldn't help but take two steps back!
Duan Rong, holding an oxtail knife, completely ignored Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng. The only thing he wanted to do was to test the strength of those two bandits!
Kill them if you can, retreat if you can’t!

Outside the temple gate, on the roadside not far away, there is an old horse!
Duan Rong's figure flashed and suddenly became as fast as a ghost!
He slashed at the thin monk's face with his knife!
"Why do you have to pretend to be a monk when there are so many other things you can do?! Today I will clean up the mess for Buddha!"

As soon as Duan Rong moved, Zhou Shoushan and Wu Hui's faces changed!
"What kind of body movement is this?"

Although Wu Hui was horrified, he had experienced life and death before and had crawled out from piles of dead bodies countless times!

Seeing that Duan Rong was coming with ill intentions, he slightly turned sideways and swept out with the mace. This was the power of the mace as a weapon, as long as it was used well, it was extremely powerful!

There was a loud bang!

As soon as the mace touched Duan Rong's blade, it flew backwards instantly and hit the courtyard wall behind Wu Hui, causing bricks and stones to crash!
The mace smashed a large hole in the thick courtyard wall and then fell at the base of the wall.

Zhou Shoushan and Wu Hui's faces changed!

"The first level of internal energy! But it's not good enough!" Duan Rong said coldly, and then his figure shook, and he saw a residual shadow whizzing past, and then a human head flew up in a pool of blood!
Wu Hui's headless corpse still stood there, his monk's robe speckled with blood, the flesh at the broken neck squirming, and the blood gushing out like a fountain, half a foot high!

Before the head with the scars from the Buddhist monastic discipline hit the ground, Duan Rong's figure was already moving again!

Duan Rong was as fast as a ghost, and in an instant, he was in front of Zhou Shoushan!

At this time, Wu Hui's head just fell at Zhou Shoushan's feet. The head was covered with blood, his eyes were full of fear, and his lips were still opening and closing. He had not died yet!

Zhou Shoushan was so frightened that he wanted to retreat immediately!

But Duan Rong's sword shadow had already slashed over!
Zhou Shoushan blocked it with his sword, and the two men started fighting in an instant!
"The second level of the Inner Breath Realm!" "What a sharp sword technique!"

Zhou Shoushan's heart kept sinking!

An apprentice escort from Yuanshun Escort Agency has actually already cultivated to the second level of Inner Breath Realm, and also has the skills of lightness and body movement!
This is too incredible!

Kong Bin was delighted when he saw Duan Rong rushing towards Wu Hui instead of choosing him and Zhang Zheng, and secretly thought that Duan Rong was stupid!

In his opinion, he and Zhang Zheng were the weakest link and also the best point for a breakthrough!

But when Wu Hui's head flew up, all the blood in Kong Bin's body turned cold almost instantly!

And at this time, Duan Rong was actually fighting with Zhou Shoushan!
Duan Rong moved like a ghost, dodging left and right, surrounding Zhou Shoushan and attacking him. Zhou Shoushan fought and retreated at the same time, and it was obvious that he was completely suppressed!
Zhou Shoushan is a master at the second level of Inner Breath Realm!
Kong Bin suddenly felt that the whole world was starting to become unreal! He was stunned for a moment, his defenses collapsed! His eyes went dark, and he felt dizzy at the scene in front of him.

"Brother Bin, let's go!" Zhang Zheng suddenly said in Kong Bin's ear.

Kong Bin suddenly woke up from his dream, and ran towards a big banyan tree next to the courtyard wall not far away with Zhang Zheng in fear!

Although this temple has collapsed, it was originally built very solidly, and its thick walls are much taller than those of ordinary courtyards!

Even though Kong Bin had been practicing internal energy for nearly a month, he would definitely not have been able to jump out without the banyan tree to lend him strength!
The gate of the temple was blocked by the figures of Duan Rong and Zhou Shoushan fighting! Their only chance of survival was the big banyan tree near the wall!

At the gate of the temple!
Although Duan Rong has achieved the second level of Inner Breath Realm, he has only achieved it not long ago, and his inner breath is still not as solid and heavy as Zhou Shoushan's!

After several chops, Duan Rong's palm was slightly numb!
This is totally shocking!
But in fact, Zhou Shoushan was in much more pain than Duan Rong. Duan Rong was fighting with him, like a ghost, his figure erratic!
The angle and direction of the attack are both tricky and weird!
Zhou Shoushan was frightened and broke out in cold sweats several times. If he hadn't been fighting in the martial arts world for many years, experienced life and death, and hadn't understood martial arts in a way that was free of any fancy tricks, he would have probably been defeated!
Moreover, even so, his clothes at the shoulders and waist had been torn by Duan Rong, revealing the hairy skin underneath!

Zhou Shoushan was not only surprised at Duan Rong's realm and lightness skills, he was even more surprised that he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old apprentice escort. Logically speaking, without any practical experience, how could he have such a sharp and vicious attacking swordsmanship?

"Little brother! I was also deceived by your two fellow disciples. That's why I was so excited and had such a misunderstanding!"

"We originally made a living by robbing and pillaging! In the end, this isn't really a deep hatred!"

"There is a nice house in Zhou City. I will give it to Brother Duan as an apology!"

"If you are willing, we can shake hands and make peace and become friends! Brother Duan, what do you think?"

Duan Rong made his move without moving his head, and just said lightly: "Okay!"

But the attack in his hands was even more fierce!
When Zhou Shoushan heard Duan Rong say yes, he felt relieved and thought to himself: After all, he is still a child of fifteen or sixteen years old, his hair hasn't grown out yet.
But the next moment, Zhou Shoushan discovered that Duan Rong's attack not only did not slow down, but became even more fierce!

Zhou Shoushan immediately understood that Duan Rong's previous "OK" was just a joke on him!

His eyes were suddenly filled with hatred, but his lips were tightly closed and he did not speak again.

A fight between life and death requires full concentration. If he speaks, it will not only distract him but will also affect the circulation of his breath!
Under normal circumstances, this impact might not be significant, but now the two of them are fighting a life-and-death battle with equal strength!
A slight difference could mean life or death!

When Zhou Shoushan came to his senses, he discovered that because of his momentary confusion, the tight defense that he had maintained with great difficulty had been caught by Duan Rong, who held on to it tightly and launched repeated attacks!
Originally, although Duan Rong's body movements were as fast as a ghost, Zhou Shoushan only needed to protect the vital points of the gate and counter Duan Rong's moves, and it would be difficult for him to be defeated for a while!
After all, no matter in terms of internal energy or combat experience, he was far superior to Duan Rong!
The most important thing is that the Huangquan sword technique he practiced is also quite good at defense!
But once there is a flaw, if he wants to defend it back, he must take the initiative to attack and force Duan Rong back from the flaw before he can get back on the defensive!
Zhou Shoushan did not dare to hesitate, he immediately gave up his defensive position and attacked Duan Rong fiercely!

As soon as Zhou Shoushan attacked, Duan Rong quickly avoided him with a ghostly figure!

After all, Zhou Shoushan's internal energy is slightly stronger than his. If they fight head-on, he will suffer!
Duan Rongfang dodged and immediately moved his body to attack Zhou Shoushan again from all strange and tricky directions!

But this time, Duan Rong was already familiar with Zhou Shoushan's defensive swordsmanship, using the real to attack the fake, and using the fast to defeat the slow!
Before Zhou Shoushan could stabilize his defense again, Duan Rong suddenly cut open Zhou Shoushan's stomach from the side with a knife!
A piece of belly slightly larger than the palm was turned upside down and hanging on Zhou Shoushan's belly!

The skin and flesh were turned upside down, blood was dripping, and fat was visible...

The intestines in the belly hole were wriggling with blood...

Zhou Shoushan felt pain, his eyes were bloodshot and his face turned ashen, but Duan Rong's fierce attack was still flashing around him, and the flash of sword was as bright as water!
He could only retreat and block, blood gushing out from his belly and soaking his crotch...

Duan Rong maintained his advantage, constantly dodging and striking with his sword, each blow being ruthless!

At this time, Zhou Shoushan's inner will to fight was gradually collapsing, but the fear of death drove him to swing his sword to block and retreat step by step!

The sword flashed!
Duan Rong's knife that was stabbing at his throat suddenly slashed down diagonally, and he was caught off guard, so Duan Rong cut off his right hand with the knife!

Zhou Shoushan's severed hand, holding the machete, plunged into the courtyard wall beside him, with brick chips flying everywhere!

The severed hand that was holding the ghost-head knife was shaking as the knife handle trembled. The oblique cut surface of the severed hand was bloody and fleshy, with bones faintly visible...

Duan Rong succeeded in this attack, then he leaped up and kicked Zhou Shoushan hard on the back and shoulder!
Zhou Shoushan groaned and was kicked, rolling towards the middle of the temple courtyard!
