Angry Banana

Chapter 273: Blood, Fire, Blades, and Guns

Night wind rustled through the air, leaves whispering along the darkened roadside, a bloody scent permeating the scene. Liu Dabiao stood before Ning Yi and Lou Jingzhi, clutching the long wooden box, as still as a zither-bearing maid. Search: \(End\Complete\God\Site\) to read premium literature for free.

At the time of the Fang La rebellion, the core strength, led by the Manichaean sect, largely comprised heroes of the greenwoods. Although many among them were bandits and brigands, with hardly any truly patriotic heroes, the *jianghu* (江湖) world, as it was called, differed considerably from the one described by Jin Yong in later generations. Nevertheless, as long as it was a *lülin* (绿林) gathering, involving a large group of people, they would inevitably have their own rules and ways. Whether it was three or five, or thirty or fifty, those who engaged in minor squabbles still had their own way of life.

This way of life was shattered when Fang La truly rose in rebellion. In the past, if there were grudges, they would either fight it out themselves or gather friends to exterminate the entire family, with individual heroism and bravery playing a significant role. But afterwards, anything less than a few hundred or a thousand men wouldn't even make it to the stage. Although there might occasionally be disagreements leading to fights, they often had to go through a network of thousands of connections beforehand. While the nature was still about calling friends and building relationships, the complexity was far beyond what dozens of people could handle. The influence of sheer individual strength had diminished to a very low level.

Within the Fang La army system, to move against Qi Yuankang, it no longer involved matters of the *wulin* (武林) world. Although the Qi family was caught off guard, Qi Yuankang had a foundation, even possessing genuine strength sufficient for rebellion. When he faced this sudden attack, although he couldn't turn the tables, his family members and subordinates couldn't be completely wiped out in an instant. Qi Yuankang originally had five sons, known to the outside world as the "Five Tigers of Qi." Some were killed in this turmoil, while others escaped, naturally harboring thoughts of revenge. However, no one truly worried about their targets for revenge.

Whether it was Liu Dabiao, Bao Daoyi, Lou Minzhong, or Fang La, these people were not only remarkably skilled themselves but also surrounded by layers of guards. In *lülin* novels, it was easy for descendants of loyal subjects to seek revenge against ordinary people, but if the opponent was an official, it was often as difficult as ascending to heaven. The officials simply wouldn't consider them true opponents. No one expected that someone with Liu Dabiao's status would be standing here today, waiting for them to come and kill him.

Since before the rebellion, the Badao Zhuang (霸刀庄, Tyrant Sabre Manor) had been the premier *wulin* manor in Tiannan. Hundreds in the manor practiced sabre techniques, and extending the range of influence, they could field an army of thousands. At this level of numbers, their nature in the *wulin* world had already changed. It was fine if occasional *jianghu* luminaries sought a match with the manor lord, but if you had a feud with Liu Dabiao, the manor's thousands of people would chop you into pieces. What kind of *wulin* (武林) was that? The young lady was not yet grown up at the time and had never ventured into the *jianghu* (江湖). By the time she took over the manor after Liu Dabiao's death, preparations for the rebellion were already halfway complete. But what no one expected was that, although she had never entered the *jianghu* (江湖), she valued these *jianghu* (江湖) rules even more.

Ning Yi was only able to understand the young lady's intentions at this point. He wouldn't be so shallow as to say that a noble shouldn't sit near a crumbling wall. Those who truly did that wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. Judging from their interactions over this period, the young lady was originally of this temperament, but he had been caught up in it, giving it a sense of unwarranted disaster. He had just walked through the gates of hell at the Four Seasons House today, with bandages on his head and bloodstains on his body, looking quite disheveled, but for the moment, he could only draw his sabre.

After a moment's thought, he cupped his fist and said, "I am Bloodhand Human Butcher, Ning Liheng. Today, regarding the feud between the Qi and Liu families, I am willing to be the referee..."

After he finished speaking, no one paid attention to him. Four assassins came from the Qi family, with only Qi Xinyong fully revealed, and perhaps others lurking in the darkness. In today's situation, even Lou Jingzhi knew that things couldn't be judged by the rules of the *jianghu* (江湖) world. If the Qi family spoke of *jianghu* (江湖) rules here, they would be dead if the army arrived. At this moment, the Left Prime Minister's son glanced at Ning Yi as if he were an idiot. The only one who valued Ning Liheng was probably the young lady in front. The night wind blew, and the two sides were deadlocked for a moment. The young lady turned her head to look at him, a slight smile on her lips, with a clear look in her eyes.

It was as if Ning Yi's joke had made her laugh.

In that instant when she turned her head, Qi Xinyong suddenly clenched his steel spear, took a step forward, and quickly closed the distance! The sound of wind breaking rang out, and in front of Ning Yi, the young lady was still turning her head to laugh. With a "crack," the sound rang out in her arms.

At that moment, there was no visible movement from her hand, but the lid of the long wooden box suddenly slid open. The next moment, she turned her head back.

The surrounding world was filled with the sound of wind breaking at this moment!

From behind, a soul-reaping iron spear came flying towards Lou Jingzhi. Two black shadows rushed out from the side with a fierce aura. In front of Ning Yi, the young lady threw the long wooden box containing the sabre with a backhand, sending it flying past Ning Yi towards the rear. At the same time, she pushed the hilt of the sabre and launched herself like a cannonball, rushing towards Qi Xinyong, who was holding the spear.

Bang, bang, bang! A huge sound, like that of striking iron, exploded on the long street with the flash of colliding metal.

The wooden box containing the sabre collided with the steel spear flying from behind, sending splinters flying. The steel spear was deflected into the sky, and a figure charged over from that direction. On the long street, Lou Jingzhi drew his sword and moved to Ning Yi’s side, the six guards with him moved at the same time, intercepted the two rushing in from the side, and also blocked the man throwing a spear.

One of the men had a tall and sturdy body, rushed out with an "Ah -" sound, and directly locked a saber wielding warrior with a three-section iron staff, pushing him straight towards Lou Jingzhi. Another, his spear waving, blocked Lou Jingzhi’s guards attempting to stop them.

Ning Yi leaned against the shop, Lou Jingzhi tried to meet his guards, but seeing his enemy rushing towards him, retreated to the side, his guards blocked the two at the side.

That warrior was controlled by the 3-section staff, and the tall sturdy man pushed him backwards, but a moment later, the man desperately struggled, trying to resist, but the fierce face of the tall man zoomed in front of his eyes, and his head was hit, only feeling his body turning around, being used as a human shield.

The youth beside the tall man pierced him through, with the spear stabbing out of his back, and pulled with his teeth gritted.

The three following Qi Xinyong were Qi’s family members, and the youth was Qi Xinyong’s younger brother, Qi Xinhan, who was thought would be a scholar, but had the highest talent in martial art, known as Zhao Zilong second, but with the death of his father, his spearmanship became fierce, pushing the impaled warrior and turned him a few times, and then was bisected, and the intestines were grinded to powder, and showered the surroundings.

Lou Jingzhi, while a statesman, was a martial artist in his youth, but focused on politics. Not much experts came to him, nor his bodyguards are experts. But the two Qi family members fought to death, and Qi Xinhan came here with bloody vendetta, they were slain in short time, with another being killed.

Because Lou Jingzhi was here, Qi family’s target was at him. It's not that they believe that Lou Jingzhi and Liu Dabiao had an affair, but Lou Minzhong was one of those approved the destruction of Qi family. If Lou Jingzhi died in front of Liu Dabiao, Lou Minzhong will certainly feud with Badao Manor.

The bloodshed and life-threatening situation, but the fight between Liu Dabiao and Qi Xinyong was most astonishing.

Qi Xinyong was a spear master, charged with extreme speed, closed in the distance, his spear dance, and thrusts out a mid-level stance. Qi Xinyong has immense strength and the spear tip shaking due to the elasticity of the steel.

With a "Ah -" sound, the spear tip thrust out, but his momentum was smashed back!

The sound of metal clashing crazily rang out, and Qi Xinyong's somber spear stance was smashed off-center in the first instance. Liu Dabiao wielded her giant sabre, originally heavy, but now spinning so fast that it reached the extreme. Her bare feet, shod in plain white embroidered shoes, spun, and her skirt resounded like silk, her body wrapped up in the giant blade, backing, pushing, bumping, swinging, splitting, looking like she dragging the blade, and the blade also dragging her, dancing that cannot stop.

Qi Xinyong wanted to stabilize his spear stance, but it was impossible. As the sabre whirled and smashed, his feet stopped charging and were forced to retreat, the retreat getting faster and faster, and the spear in his hand also getting faster and faster, "Ah ah ah ah ah--" he roared out.

He has been practicing the spear for many years, and personally taught by his father, who knows the spear well, this time the full strength, the experience has been used, the spear in his swing such as sticks, such as whips, such as snakes, in this night, the air waved countless afterimages. But that spear gradually becomes more aggressive, his pace faster and faster, the situation is getting more and more precarious.

His spear was supposed to spin at a central point, but it was smashed open the first moment, and the mouth is getting bigger and bigger, Liu Dabiao's sabre first cut his spear tip, then inch by inch continue to spread, split the spear head, middle, looks like a suddenly smashed iron ball, and Qi Xinyong's spear, like a storm suddenly blown up the umbrella frame! No matter how the spear swing, it can not stop the iron ball.

The two crushed the table and chairs in the collapsed shed into pieces. Weapons are about an inch longer is an inch stronger, but Qi Xinyong's spear against Liu Dabiao's sword, in a blink of an eye and retreat more than ten meters, the advantage is gone. Qi Xinyong fiercely removed his hand, leapt to the side, the huge blade from his head waving over, cutting off a large section of hair, next moment, Liu Dabiao snatched the giant blade from his head to jump over. He was only slightly raised, looked back, in the horizon only a feet away, the figure of the girl whistling spin, she alternately, skirt, sleeves whistling such as dance, but the hand dragged the giant blade toward this is like a stab from the sky.

With a loud bang, Qi Xinyong was all split out, barely blocked with the steel spear, otherwise he would have been split in half. But even so, a burst of pain on the tiger's mouth, and are about to split the illusion. If not personally played, I am afraid no one would have thought that the seemingly petite girl, in the body dancing, splitting out such a terrible force.

Lou Jingzhi's side was in a melee, the giant blast, Ning Yi towards a shop on the side, at this time the shop has been destroyed, but the boss is still inside. This person is able to open a shop in this situation, I think there are some relations, but encountered the current situation, but also scared silly, hiding in the room at a loss, and Ning Yi is in the same boat. Liu Dabiao will be able to smash Qi Xinyong, the body also slightly stopped, hands holding the knife to rush forward, but also at this time, it is a steel spear from the darkness stabbing out, straight to the girl's back.

This man hiding in the street next to the house, this time only shot, that is, to use the girl old strength has been eliminated, new strength has not been born when she locks, so that she can not move so quickly-(to be continued.)
