The weather in July was extremely hot. There was a big tree on a tree in the field. It was facing the sunlight, and it cast a shade on the ground. There were three people sitting under the tree. Sweat was still dripping down their faces, and their clothes were already drenched in sweat. The cicadas were still chirping on the tree, making the people enjoying the shade under the tree feel even more upset.
"What are you shouting for? If you dare to call me again, I'll roast all of you!”A person under the tree said impatiently.
When the other two heard this, they laughed. One of them said,"Alright, stop complaining. After today, we can go back and not have to suffer anymore.”
"Are we going back tomorrow?" the person who spoke just now asked.”
"Yes! Tomorrow will be the tenth day, and the fields of the villagers will be almost finished. It's time for us to go back.”
The person who complained looked at the other person, only to see that the other person had his eyes closed and was quietly leaning against the root, not moving at all. The person who complained said to the person who answered earlier,"He Ping, what do you think happened to him? He lay there motionless as if he was dead.”
"Niu San, can't you talk less?" The person called He Ping said.”
The person who complained was called Niu San. He was just like his name and had a bad temper. When he heard He Ping say this, he immediately shouted,"What's wrong? Would it kill him to say something? It's better than pretending to be a living dead!"
The person leaning against the tree root finally spoke. He said,"Niu San, who did you say died later?"
"Who else could it be other than you?" Niu San asked.”
The man was still leaning against the tree root, but his eyes had never opened. He said casually,"He Ping, teach Niu San a good lesson so that he will remember it in the future.”
Niu San suddenly jumped up. He pulled up his sleeves and shouted,""He Ping! You do it! Let's see who's the one teaching who a lesson!"
He Ping glanced at the person leaning against the tree root. Seeing that his eyes were still closed, he stood up, patted the dust off his butt, and took two steps back. Seeing He Ping retreat behind the tree, Niu San clenched his fists and stared at He Ping. As long as He Ping moved, he would punch him.
He Ping bowed to Niu San and said,""Brother Niu San, it's not that I want to fight you, but I really can't disobey orders.”
Niu San said," Let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, I haven't practiced with you for a long time. It's good for us to practice. We don't have to pretend to be the living dead here."”
He Ping's body was thin and small, while Niu San's body was stronger and taller. The two of them were about ten feet apart. He Ping shot forward and arrived in front of Niu San, punching him in the chest. Niu San took a few steps back after receiving a punch from He Ping. He patted his chest and chuckled,""You brat, your speed is much faster than before, but this punch is like scratching an itch. Since you've already started fighting, don't blame me for being impolite. Take this!”
Niu San raised his fist and swung it at He Ping's ribs. He Ping was quick-witted. Once Niu San made his move, he saw through the trick. He had already secretly gathered his strength and stretched out his palm. Before Niu San's attack came, he blocked Niu San's fist and kicked out, hitting Niu San's calf.
Niu San appeared to be slightly clumsy and not very agile. After taking two consecutive hits, he was very angry. The person leaning against the tree root had already opened his eyes when He Ping and Niu San were fighting. Seeing all this, he clapped his hands and shouted,"Good! Good skills! Niu San, did you see that? You can't beat He Ping!”
Niu San was in a fit of anger. When he heard this, he turned his face and scolded,"Yang Zhen! Shut the f * ck up!" As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his fist out with great force. Seeing that things were not looking good, He Ping jumped back and jumped more than ten feet. Niu San's fist naturally missed. "Brother Bull, you hit me so hard. Do you want to take my life?" He Ping said.”
Niu San glared at He Ping and did not reply. He quickly walked forward and threw out both fists, determined to hit He Ping. "Oh no!" He Ping said helplessly. I've really angered Brother Bull!" As soon as He Ping finished speaking, Niu San's two fists were already coming at him. He Ping dodged to the side again and waved his hands repeatedly."Brother Bull, I was wrong. For the sake of our past brotherhood, let's forget about it!”Niu San ignored him and only focused on punching. Each punch was faster than the last. He Ping dodged continuously, but Niu San couldn't hit him.
Yang Zhen, who was watching from the side, clapped his hands and cheered. Seeing the two of them entangled, he couldn't help but laugh. Yang Zhen laughed out loud, and Niu San's anger flared up again. He knew that He Ping was strong and agile. If he kept jumping up and down like this, he would not be able to hit him. Yang Zhen's laughter was still echoing in the air when he suddenly saw Niu San turn around and punch at him. How could he not dodge?
Yang Zhen jumped back a few steps. When he saw Niu Sanzheng charging towards him, he hurriedly said,""Niu San, what are you doing? The one who hit you was He Ping, not me. Why did you hit me?"
"If you didn't order him, would he have come and hit me?" Niu San asked.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of fast punches attacked. Before Yang Zhen could say anything, Niu San's fist was already in front of him. He blocked Niu San's left fist with one hand and pushed out with the other hand. He grabbed Niu San's right fist and grabbed it. However, his palm was also bearing the force of his fist, and it was slightly painful.
This sudden change made He Ping laugh at the side. He said,"Not bad, not bad. You can at least experience the feeling of sparring with Yang Zhen. I'm always avoiding you, so it's fine if you don't hit me!”
Niu San's fist that was caught by Yang Zhen was pulled back. His left fist met Yang Zhen's fist and hit Yang Zhen's chest. His right fist that was retracted was thrown out again and hit the same spot on Yang Zhen's body at the same time. Yang Zhen took two punches in a row. His chest hurt so much that he took a few steps back. Niu San laughed and said,"I hit it, I hit it!"”
He Ping sighed at the side. Yang Zhen, how did you get hit by him?”
Yang Zhen rubbed his chest." I took two punches. I won't die." It was just a moment of carelessness. Again!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Zhen, He Ping, and Niu San heard a few swooshing sounds. An arrow suddenly flew past Yang Zhen. With a muffled sound, the arrow was firmly nailed to the tree. The first reaction of the three of them was to lie on the ground. Then, they heard a few muffled sounds and the sound of arrows flying over their heads. The three of them were shocked and hurriedly rolled to the bottom of the field not far away to avoid the arrows that were shot from the dark.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them hid under the ridge, and dozens of arrows pierced into the soil on the ridge. The three of them didn't dare to show their faces. Niu San had an impatient temper and shouted,""Damn it! Who dares to plot against us here?”
He Ping frowned. A thought flashed through his mind and he said,"Could they really be here?"
"Who?" Niu San asked. Who was it? Who is it?"
He Ping looked at Yang Zhen and saw that he was also frowning. Yang Zhen looked up at He Ping and said,""What should come will come eventually. You can't hide even if you want to.”
"Then what should we do now?" He Ping asked.”
Niu San saw that the two of them were asking and answering, not listening to his words, so he called out,""Who is it? Since I'm here, I don't care who it is. I haven't killed anyone in a long time!”
"The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light," Yang Zhen said."We can't act rashly.”
He Ping nodded. Niu San said anxiously,""Then what should we do? Just hiding here like a turtle?”
Yang Zhen put his index finger to his mouth and softly shushed. He Ping and Niu San heard the footsteps of many people at the same time. The three of them looked at each other. He Ping ran quickly to the right along the ditch under the ridge, while Niu San ran to the left. Yang Zhen stayed where he was, his ears perked up as he listened to the noisy footsteps. Yang Zhen listened to the footsteps and secretly estimated the number of people. There were more than 50 people. From the sound of their footsteps, Yang Zhen could tell that these people had undergone strict training. Their footsteps were powerful and they made a sound when they landed. This was not an effect that ordinary troops could achieve.
The footsteps gradually approached. Yang Zhen closed his eyes to rest, his heart still very calm. When the footsteps were less than a meter away from Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes. He reached up with both hands and grabbed a person. He pulled him down and threw him heavily into the ditch. The man's face was covered and he was dressed in black. He was holding a long knife in his hand. Yang Zhen kicked him, causing him to scream. Yang Zhen felt a chill on his head. He pressed down on the black-clothed man under his feet with both hands and flipped over the black-clothed man's head. With both hands, he snatched the long saber from the black-clothed man beside him. Yang Zhen looked around and saw that the ridge was filled with masked men in black. Those behind them were still running towards him.
As soon as the long saber entered Yang Zhen's hand, he killed the black-clothed man beside him with a single slash. Then, the blade turned outwards and blocked the several long sabers that were coming at him. Yang Zhen took a few steps back. The men in black on the ridge jumped down one after another and raised their sabers to slash at Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen brandished his long saber and blocked the attacks of more than a dozen men in black.
Yang Zhen looked at these masked men in black. Their numbers were similar to the footsteps he had heard. There were more than fifty of them. Yang Zhen killed another man in black with a slash. Facing the attacks of so many men in black, he kept retreating, standing and retreating. When all the men in black went down the ridge, Yang Zhen saw more than a dozen people holding long knives and carrying bows and arrows on their backs. At this moment, the men in black had already surrounded Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen was attacked from both sides, but he was not afraid. He slashed a few people to death with his long saber.
The men in black did not care how many people had died. They only attacked Yang Zhen desperately, as if they would not stop until they killed him. Yang Zhen was covered by his saber net, and the men in black could not break in. Instead, he killed a few more. At this moment, Yang Zhen had already killed ten men in black. Yang Zhen shouted,"Kill them!"
The men in black heard the shouts, but they did not think much of it. Unexpectedly, two people suddenly charged out from behind and killed six or seven people in a row. "He Ping, Niu San, good job!" Yang Zhen shouted.”
Niu San had been angered by He Ping and Yang Zhen. Now that he was holding a long saber in his hand, facing so many black-clothed men, he couldn't help but shout,"Those who are not afraid of death, come to Grandpa!" He slashed one person at a time, and he slashed at the vital parts. Anyone who was slashed by him was killed in one slash.
He Ping was not to be outdone when he saw this. Although his body was thin and small, it was fortunate that he was agile. He shuttled left and right between the black-clothed men and wandered between the black-clothed men's blades, killing many black-clothed men in succession.
Not long after, only one of the fifty men in black was left, still fighting Niu San. When Yang Zhen and He Ping saw this, they shouted at the same time,"Niu San, leave him alive!" Niu San's body was full of burly men, and his saber techniques were steady. He was constantly blocking the attacks of the black-clothed man. Niu San heard the shout and said," None of my men have ever survived. I can't do this job!" Change it to He Ping!"
He Ping chuckled, gripped his long saber tightly, and jumped forward, slashing at the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man was attacking Niu San when a long saber suddenly appeared in his vision. The long saber in his hand suddenly changed and blocked He Ping's blade. Niu San stood out and stood with Yang Zhen. He said to Yang Zhen,""This guy's martial arts aren't weak!"
When Yang Zhen heard this, he took a closer look and saw that the black-robed man was fighting with He Ping. The long saber in his hand was attacking and defending in an orderly manner, unlike the other masked black-robed men. He Ping had thought that he could easily kill the man in black, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't know where to start. His knife skills were surprisingly good. He Ping didn't want to lose face in front of Yang Zhen and Niu San. He attacked one move after another. He attacked ten moves in one breath, but he didn't hurt the black-clothed man at all.
When Yang Zhen saw this, he shouted,"He Ping, this person's blade technique is not bad. His martial arts are not inferior to yours.”
Niu San was watching from the side. He saw that He Ping and the black-robed man were locked in a stalemate. He recalled that when he was fighting with He Ping, it was the same. He couldn't make a move within 30 moves. After 30 moves, he was forced to only parry. Although he was angry with He Ping, he didn't want his brother to suffer, so he shouted,""He Ping, after thirty moves, please be careful.”
When He Ping heard this, he thought that Niu San was mocking him from the side. The attack of the long saber in his hand suddenly became fierce, and he was determined to take down the black-clothed man before thirty moves. He Ping was very anxious, afraid that what Niu San said was true. He often thought that he was much stronger than Niu San. If he could not take down this black clothed man like him, he would definitely be laughed at. He increased the strength of the long saber in his hand, but the saber technique gradually became chaotic. The black-clothed man naturally felt this subtle change, and his saber technique suddenly turned into an offensive. This change shocked He Ping. He was not careful, and his arm was cut by the black-clothed man. Fresh blood immediately flowed out. Niu San cried out," Not good!" Yang Zhen jumped over and shouted at the same time,""Retreat!"
He Ping took a hit and his right arm could no longer pick up the long knife in his hand. He watched as the black-clothed man's knife slashed towards him, but he could not block it. Yang Zhen blocked the man in black's knife with his long knife. Niu San took the opportunity to pull He Ping to the side. Yang Zhen glanced at the black-robed man. At the same time, he swung his saber three times and forced the black-robed man to retreat a distance of about ten feet. "Who are you? Who sent you here?" Yang Zhen asked.”
