Volume Two, Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-seventh, the melee is king 9
As soon as Li Hong and his party entered the second hall, they saw twenty black-clothed assassins waiting for them in the square in front of the hall. The leader in the middle was wearing the cassock of the Dacien Temple. They were the monk Xuanzhen, the uncle of the master of the Lord.
The great monk Xuanzhen is worthy of being a great monk, and using such dignified means to deal with Li Hong, it really made Li Hong look at him with admiration.
Before, whenever he encountered enemies, he would use his familiarity with Dacien Temple, either assassinate or set up an ambush, and wanted to consume Li Hong and his party's combat power as much as possible. Only Monk Xuanzhen also wanted to compete with Li Hong upright. This was pedantic on the battlefield, and it was noble on morality.
Li Hong walked slowly forward, and stopped only thirty steps away from Monk Xuanzhen. He took off the embroidered saber pillar from his waist and put it on the ground. He looked at Monk Xuanzhen and asked, "What, Master wants to be the same as everyone, can you learn from him to rebel?"
Even if Li Hong is not interested in Buddhism, he still respects the monks of Xuanzang's generation.
"Your Highness knows it in his heart, why do you ask questions knowingly!" Monk Xuanzhen said lightly.
Li Hong smiled and said, "I really don't know, so please help me solve my doubts."
"Buddhism cannot live in peace. Since the Prince of the Crown Prince was born from the Taoist king, then for my Buddhism, it is a disaster. We naturally have to kill His Highness the threat." Monk Xuanzhen seemed very calm when he spoke, and did not seem excited or nervous at all because he wanted to kill Li Hong.
Li Hong smiled, laughing happily and happily.
"Master, is it important to compare with the safety of the people in the world? Or is it important for your Buddhism or is it important for you?" Li Hongyi asked in a righteous manner.
"Buddhism will save thousands of suffering people for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. His Royal Highness can give the people of the Tang Dynasty a wealthy life and save the people from water and fire, so that they can give the people a peaceful and prosperous life in dozens of lifetimes?" Xuan Zhen said firmly, "So, killing Your Highness will only make the people suffer for a moment, and only by keeping the Buddha's words will make the people receive eternal blessings."
"The Master's Buddhism is still so profound that he can make the people in all ages with just one word. I am ashamed of it." Li Hong sneered, "However, no one can take the life of the lonely except for the lonely being willing to give it. If the Master wants to save the people in all ages, he will come and take it in person!"
Li Hong knew very well that one of him and Liu Ju was the reincarnation of Taoist Lord and the other was the reincarnation of Buddha. There was only life and death between them, without coexistence and compromise. Therefore, he was unwilling to talk to Xuan Zhen more. The reason why he said so much to Xuan Zhen was that he felt that Xuan Zhen could deal with him openly and had the temperament of a monk, which made him respect him very much. Another thing was that he wanted Xuan Zhen to finish what he wanted to say in the end.
Therefore, he knew that Xuan Zhen was still just a cannon fodder with his own means.
If Li Hong put his uncle as cannon fodder in his position as Ji Neng, he would probably do this. However, Li Hong would not do so obviously. At least he would give all cannon fodder a chance to survive, unlike Ji Neng, which would only make everyone die and achieve his own goals.
"Your Highness, I have offended you!" Xuan Zhen clasped his hands together, and after saying that, he rushed towards Li Hong, and at the same time ordered the black-clad assassins beside him, "Kill--"
Seeing Xuanzhen pounce on him, Li Hong took thirteen steps in a row before he stabilized his body. At this time, Chen Gong jumped up and met Xuanzhen and shouted, "Master, your opponent is the Mo General, let the Mo General learn about the martial arts of your Dacien Temple!"
No matter how high Xuanzhen is, she is still just a cannon fodder, and Dacien Temple has the final say. Therefore, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzhen is not qualified to challenge him, so Chen Gong can only deal with Xuanzhen.
All the only ones who are truly qualified to challenge Li Hong can be alone.
King, can only be against the king.
When Xuanzhen was fighting with Chen Gong, the black-clothed assassins beside him rushed forward and fought with the guards beside Li Hong. This time there were twenty black-clothed assassins, and Chen Gong sent forty guards, leaving twenty to protect Li Hong's safety. The forty guards had a steady advantage in the number of people, so Li Hong no longer worried that the guards would suffer heavy losses. He did not rush to move forward, but turned his eyes to Chen Gong and Xuanzhen in the fight.
Chen Gong's fighting style is a battlefield type, all of which are the murder skills he has experienced and constantly honed. In addition, he is extremely powerful and has a powerful weapon like the embroidered spring sword. Even if he faces the monk Xuanzhen from Dacien Temple, he seems to be at ease.
As for Xuan Zhen, he is already sixty years old and his strength has declined very much.
But he practiced internal qigong in Buddhism and had profound Buddhist understanding as the pillar of martial arts. He had profound attainments in martial arts and had wide eyes. After a brief discomfort, he became familiar with Chen Gong's way of killing.
Therefore, when facing Chen Gong, Monk Xuanzhen also seemed very relaxed and did not feel any difficulty.
When Li Hong saw the two fighting like this, his brows frowned slightly.
According to his encounter with these two groups of assassins, they all wanted to exhaust the combat power around him and kill him in one fell swoop. There were two halls away from the inner hall, and many black-clothed assassins had probably been ambushed in these two halls, and there might be experts like Xuan Zhen to take charge. If Chen Gong was not much different in strength between the enemy and us, Chen Gong would spend more energy, and for one side, the balance of victory would be tilted to the same side.
Therefore, seeing that Chen Gong and Xuan Zhen still had a draw after a long time of fighting, Li Hong felt something was wrong. Could it be that this is a good arrangement for everyone? I guess Chen Gong's physical strength and energy are spent here and then slowly deal with him?
"Kill--" Just as Li Hong was thinking this way, Chen Gong shouted loudly, and the attack was even more fiercely at Xuan Zhen. Because he was not stupid and not stupid, he naturally saw the conspiracy of Ji Neng from Xuan Zhen's fight. Therefore, he was unwilling to continue to waste time with Xuan Zhen. Even if he was injured, it didn't matter. He had to use the shortest time to kill Xuan Zhen.
Bang!
Chen Gong slapped Xuan Zhen hard with a palm. The force was so strong that Xuan Zhen, who was two steps away from Chen Gong, could clearly feel how heavy the murderous intent of this palm was.
Xuan Zhen has no weapons, Chen Gong's long sword has already forced Xuan Zhen to open his right hand. If Xuan Zhen wants to take this palm, he must use his left hand. However, Xuan Zhen's left hand is far inferior to his right hand. This means that if Xuan Zhen takes this palm with his left hand, he will inevitably be injured. But at a critical moment, it was too late to avoid it, so he could only raise his left hand and meet Chen Gong's left hand.
Click!
Hearing the crisp sound of the fracture, Xuan Zhen's face turned pale, and beads of sweat were left on his forehead. His left hand was broken and was cut by Chen Gong's palm. Chen Gong was also not feeling well. All the recoil force of Xuan Zhen was dissolved on his body by him. His chest felt like he was struck by lightning, and a huge pain was felt. With a moment, his body retreated three steps before he could stabilize, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Obviously, he suffered a considerable internal injury—
"Let's come again-" Chen Gong, who was born in the battlefield, had never experienced any kind of fighting scenes. Such a minor injury was nothing to him. Just as he stood firm, he rushed forward again and stabbed Monk Xuanzhen with a long sword. Monk Xuanzhen's left arm was broken, and he could only sweat out his forehead instead of screaming loudly. It can be seen how powerful his mind is, so he rushed forward without fear of Chen Gong, and raised his intact right hand again to meet Chen Gong's attack.
The two of them fought so desperately that Li Hong's face became even more gloomy.
He almost drew his sword and stepped forward to kill Xuan Zhen, but in the end he still held back and did not do so.
In addition to Xuan Zhen's previous performance of high Sen's demeanor and not having a sneak attack and ambush, he also wanted to give Chen Gong a chance to fight against a strong enemy.
A martial arts practitioner can only make progress as long as he fights against the strong. He will only become weaker and weaker when he specializes in picking on the weak.
Therefore, it is difficult for Chen Gong to meet a master like Xuan Zhen like today, which is beneficial to his progress. So even if Li Hong sacrifices a little more people and wastes a little time, he thinks it is worth it.
Because at this moment, cultivating Chen Gong is the most important thing for him.
Bang-
The sound of the two palms colliding when they fought each other again, and then another "puff" sound of a knife slashing into the flesh. I heard the scream of Monk Xuanzhen, and a stream of blood gushed out from his right shoulder, and his right arm was cut off by Chen Gong.
Monk Xuanzhen took three steps back and then he stood firm.
However, at this time his face turned pale and the sweat on his forehead was already like a fountain. Because his left and right hand was broken, his hands were cut off again, and his hands were destroyed and he had no combat power. It was a bit difficult to even die now.
"Master, I offended you!" Chen Gong put his knife in the sheath, clasped his fists and bowed to Li Hong.
"Let's go, let's continue!" Li Hong ordered, asking Chen Gong to lead the remaining twenty guards to the third hall. At the same time, just after they left, Xuan Zhen couldn't bear the huge pain, so he sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha in the hall and bit his tongue and committed suicide. At this time, the fighting power of the dead soldiers and assassins who had no backbone had suddenly decreased, and the guards killed by the guards retreated step by step. In addition, the guards in the first hall had arrived, and the two sides joined forces to fight, and all the twenty dead soldiers and assassins in front of him were killed.
As soon as Monk Xuanzhen died, he could get the news. He found that his method did not work. When Monk Xuanzhen did not consume Chen Gong's physical strength too much, his expression of joy just now became a little gloomy.
He minds the life and death of his uncle, Monk Xuanzhen, because he still has several uncles, so he is willing to continue to sacrifice them.
However, his method failed, overestimated Xuan Zhen’s combat effectiveness and underestimated Chen Gong’s strength. This was a problem he did not expect.
Therefore, when he heard his subordinates' reports in the Zen room, his face was gloomy and terrible.
"Master, why don't you transfer Jiunan to the third hall?" the man in black suggested in a low voice, "Otherwise, when the guards in the first and second halls meet with Li Hong, the form of the third hall will be worrying!"
Everyone could think about it, then nodded slightly and said, "Just do it like this. Go and send an order to Jiunan and ask him to go to the Third Hall to support him immediately. If he doesn't listen, you just say that this is my order. He must execute it, and he must execute it if he doesn't execute it."
"Yes." The man in black took the order and left the Zen room.
"Li Hong, I can all have to kill you today!!" When the man in black left, he could grit his teeth.
He had no personal grudge with Li Hong, and because he was Xuanzang's disciple and was the host of Dacien Temple, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty was very nice to him and gave him a lot of rewards to Dacien Temple every year. But this does not mean that he would not let go of the grudges of Buddhism and Taoism, because he was a disciple of Buddhism, and the history of the Tang Dynasty was the descendant of the Taoist ancestors, and they were originally incompatible with water and fire.
In addition, Ji Neng thought that killing Li Hong would not be too difficult, because he had planned and planned for a long time. Unexpectedly, his plan was resolved step by step by step by step, which made him resentful towards Li Hong.
Therefore, whether it is public or private, everyone can hate Li Hong to the core. (To be continued)
