Chapter 301: East Courtyard Melee
"I have been very kind to you, repaying evil with kindness. But you have turned evil into evil, repaying kindness with evil." Yan Wuji snorted, "So, are we still 'free of all grudges'?"

Facing Yan Wuji's aggressive pressure, Luo Tianjin didn't take it seriously. He shook his head and smiled, "Master Yan Ling, what you said is wrong! You and I have different positions. The 'favor' you showed me was, in the final analysis, to win me over, to make me help you to do evil, to help you to slaughter the Han people and erode the Song Dynasty. Is this kind of 'favor' considered a favor? If I accept your favor, I will be a traitor to my ancestors, unfaithful and unfilial. My Luo family will be condemned by thousands of people and cursed for eternity. In this way, your so-called 'favor' is even more ferocious than a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast. Even if you kill me, it will only kill me. But if I collude with you, it will affect my descendants for generations, and there will be endless troubles."

Yan Wuji remained expressionless and calm in response to Luo Tianjin's confession.

"As for the 'grudge' Lord Yanling mentioned, it is even more nonsense and absurd." Luo Tianjin laughed contemptuously, "Although I deeply sympathize with the Lingqiu Mountain Stream incident, I will never be willing to be a scapegoat. Lord Yanling, if you have real evidence, you can make it public. There is no need to make innuendos and slander here. Don't forget that you wrote a letter in person to admit that the Lingqiu Mountain Stream incident had nothing to do with the Xianwang Mansion. How can you go back on your word today and enrich yourself?"

Luo Hongxuan said angrily: "Yan Wuji, it's not that we owe you, but you owe us..."

"shut up!"

Before Luo Hongxuan finished speaking, Luo Tianjin suddenly shouted angrily: "You have no respect for the elders or the younger ones! How can you have a say here?"

"Good! Very good!" Yan Wuji stared at Luo Tianjin without looking away, clapping his hands in praise, "The Northern Sage King is worthy of being the Northern Sage King. Not only is his martial arts amazing, his eloquence is unparalleled in the world. With just a few words, he was able to turn black and white upside down, and confuse gratitude and resentment. Good! Very good!"

"Master Yan Ling, there is no need to mock me." Luo Tianjin said with a faint smile, "It's not that I am good at speaking, but in the face of the righteousness of my country, I can only sacrifice my life for justice and sacrifice the small for the greater. If you were not a Tartar, perhaps we would have become close friends."

"It's really useless to argue with the Northern Sage King." Yan Wuji sneered, "Since Lord Luo can plan and calculate our every move, why don't you calculate whether you can keep us here tonight?"

"Don't be fooled by your numbers. In my eyes, you are all pigs and dogs." Huo Biao cursed, "It's easy to slaughter pigs and dogs. If you are not afraid of death, just come up and give it a try!"

After saying that, Huo Biao's eyes widened with a ferocious look on his face. He held the knife in both hands and held it upright in front of him. The shiny blade reflected a creepy cold light under the moonlight.

"One, two, three..."

Tang Ji, who was standing behind Luo Tianjin, frowned slightly and looked back and forth between Yan Wuji and Tang Xuan with suspicious eyes, while muttering something over and over again.

Suddenly, Tang Ji's eyes changed and he shouted urgently: "Lord Luo, the number of people is wrong!"

"what?"

"They are missing one person!" Tang Ji said firmly, "The guy who shot an arrow at me last night..."

"Whoosh!"

Before he finished speaking, a faint sound suddenly came from the night sky.

Instantly, a black arrow streaked across the night sky like a streak of black lightning. When Luo Tianjin noticed something strange behind him, the arrow had already strangely appeared behind his head.

"Master, be careful!"

Deng Quan was horrified and shouted loudly, then swung out the Mandarin Duck Ring with his right hand, trying to block the arrow.

At the same time, Tang Ji, who was already on guard, made a move instantly and pushed the unsuspecting Luo Tianjin half a step back.

"Crack!"

"Whoosh!"

"Keng!"

Three sounds came in a row, almost at the same time, three times faster than the crowd's exclamations.

The first sound was from Deng Quan's mandarin duck ring, which hit the sharp arrow with lightning speed. The sharp arrow broke immediately, but the arrowhead still went forward and hit Luo Tianjin's back of the head.

The second time, it came after Luo Tianjin hurriedly dodged. The arrow whizzed past his cheek. Although it did not hit any vital parts, it still left a shallow blood mark on his face.

The third sound was the sound of the arrow missing its target and instantly sinking into the ground.

"Be careful of hidden arrows! Protect the master of the mansion!"

Deng Quan shouted angrily, then soared into the sky, following the direction from which the hidden arrow came, and rushed straight to the top of the hall to kill.

At the same time, Lin Fangda, Su Tang and other disciples of the Xianwang Mansion quickly stepped forward, protecting Luo Tianjin, who had barely escaped the disaster, and formed an impenetrable human wall.

"Now!"

Suddenly, Tang Xuan's eyes turned fierce and he shouted. Yan Wuji, Long Yu and others followed his voice and quickly rushed in different directions.

"Stop them!"

Luo Tianjin was furious. He waved his hand to push away all the disciples. At the same time, he paused and rushed after Yan Wuji like an arrow.

"Hey, hey, hey...be gentle..."

Accompanied by a wailing, the angry Deng Quan pulled Li Haitang down from the top of the East Hall like a chicken and threw him to the ground.

Seeing this, all the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion rushed forward. Before Li Haitang could struggle to get up, more than a dozen cold steel knives were already placed on his neck, making him dare not move at all.

"Catch him!"

Deng Quan gave a hurried order, then suddenly stood up and rushed towards Long Yu as fast as lightning.

When the enemy came close, Deng Quan waved his hand to stop Su Tang and Lin Fangda, who were being forced to retreat by Long Yu, and said coldly: "Leave him to me, you deal with the others."

"Master Ba, be careful!"

The two men did not dare to hesitate, and gave instructions in unison, then led their men to kill Hu Zhen and his three companions.

As for Tang Xuan, he had already been entangled by Tang Ji and Tang Xiu. Although he was one of the four guardians of Longxiang Mountain, unlike the other three, Tang Xuan did not rely on his high martial arts, but on his talent for developing hidden weapons. When Tang Xuan killed people, he liked to hide in the dark, wait for an opportunity, and kill his opponent with one fatal blow, killing people thousands of miles away without a trace or an invisible form.

On the contrary, once he engages in a head-on battle with the enemy, Tang Xuan will be unworthy of being used and even worthless.

At present, Tang Xuan's opponents are Tang Ji and Tang Xiu. Both of them are the owners of the Tang Sect. They are well-versed in the ways and methods of Tang Sect's hidden weapons. They are experienced and sophisticated.

Therefore, Tang Xuan's repeated sneak attacks were resolved by Tang Ji and the others before they could be fully launched.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, Tang Xuan became more and more passive, and within 50 rounds he was already at a disadvantage. In the end, with the perfect cooperation between Tang Ji and Tang Xiu, he had no choice but to give up resistance and surrender.

In the east, Deng Quan and Long Yu were flying up and down, fighting back and forth, it was a lively scene.

In fact, Deng Quan's martial arts skills were slightly inferior to Long Yu's, but because Long Yu was surrounded by many disciples of the Xianwang Mansion who were ready to attack, they would attack and harass him from time to time, forcing Long Yu to look around. Therefore, when the two fought, they seemed evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was better.

To the west, Hu Zhen, Huo Biao and Qiu Zheng were also exhausted and complaining in pain after being attacked by hundreds of disciples from the Xianwang Palace led by Su Tang and Lin Fangda.

In terms of martial arts, Hu Zhen and his two companions were indeed superior to Su Tang and Lin Fangda, but no matter how powerful they were, there were only three of them. Facing opponents that were dozens of times their number, they were inevitably caught between distractions and were overwhelmed.

However, the most eye-catching thing at this moment was the close combat between two top masters in the center of the courtyard.

Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji fought each other in close combat without any hesitation, both attacking without defending.

The two men's palm strikes were as dense as heavy rain and as fast as lightning, and each palm strike contained tremendous force.

The palm winds collided again and again, and there were loud noises like thunder. Not only was the momentum shocking, but the power was also impressive.

A few feet around Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji, the blue bricks on the ground had already shattered into powder. A strong wind suddenly arose in the air, thunder rolled faintly, strong energy was running wild, and murderous intent was everywhere.

Occasionally, some powerful energies would escape from the battle and slam into the surrounding walls like cavalry and swords, leaving behind horrific dents several inches deep and several feet long. The entire wall would shake constantly, and sand, rocks and rubble would fall from the eaves, which was extremely terrifying.

In such a battle situation, others did not dare to approach easily, for fear that they would be smashed to pieces and turned into ashes by the two men's powerful internal strength.

Outsiders looked terrified and chilled, but Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji, who were caught in the vortex, were calm and composed with stern expressions.

Both sides flew in the sky and dodged in the ground, fighting back and forth, with palm winds whistling and palm shadows overlapping. There were thousands and thousands of them, covering the sky and the earth, and each palm was faster and more fierce than the last.

There were no fancy techniques, no complicated moves, and it was even impossible to tell who was attacking and who was defending. It was just a head-on confrontation. At this moment, Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji seemed to be adhering to one obsession, and they had to determine who was better in this head-on confrontation.

Before they knew it, Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji had fought for hundreds of rounds, but there was still no winner, and the two sides were inseparable.

They drove thunder and lightning, turned the seas and rivers upside down, they seemed to have no idea of ​​exhaustion, not only was their palm power not weakened, but their speed did not decrease at all.

"call!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air from the end of the sky, followed by a gray shadow flying over.

His body was as fast as a meteor and his steps were as fast as chasing the moon. In the blink of an eye, he landed between Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji. At the same time, he stretched out his palms to the left and right, one palm to stop Luo Tianjin and the other palm to block Yan Wuji.

In a flash, his old body shook, and suddenly a pure and strong internal force split into two from his chest, rushing towards Luo and Yan from the left and right, forcibly separating the two men who were fighting to a stalemate.

Facing the sudden appearance of the old man, Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji were both stunned, and then they each withdrew their moves and retreated quickly. At the same time, they were secretly surprised in their hearts that the old man's martial arts skills were so high that they were simply unfathomable.

At the same time, Long Yu, Deng Quan and others stopped and cast curious glances at the old man.

The old man was wearing a grey robe and cloth shoes. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was covered with wrinkles. He looked quite old. His posture and behavior seemed quite lazy and unfocused. His face was full of playfulness, and his pair of small green eyes flickered, which was very interesting.

"Dare to ask..."

"Don't ask first, I'll ask first!" Before Luo Tianjin finished speaking, the old man interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Wait until I finish asking, then you can ask."

Luo Tianjin was slightly stunned, and said hesitantly: "Please teach me."

Hearing this, the old man chuckled, looked back and forth at Luo Tianjin and Yan Wuji with a playful look, and asked curiously: "Who of you two is Luo Tianjin?"

Luo Tianjin frowned and said, "My name is Luo Tianjin. May I know your name? What brings you here so late at night? "

"Are you Luo Tianjin?" The old man nodded thoughtfully, then stopped talking and suddenly walked towards Yan Wuji.

"This……"

Seeing this, everyone present was confused and didn't know what to say.

Yan Wuji looked at the mysterious old man, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old man walked to Yan Wuji's side leisurely. Before Yan Wuji could speak, he suddenly turned around, stared at Luo Tianjin with a pair of mung bean eyes with ill intentions, and said jokingly: "Luo Tianjin, tonight I want to help..."

At this point, the old man's voice suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at Yan Wuji with a smile and asked, "What's your name?"

Yan Wuji was surprised and said in a deep voice: "I am the Lord of Red Wind Ridge, Yan Wuji, tonight is..."

"okay!"

Without waiting for Yan Wuji to introduce himself, the old man waved his hand nonchalantly and turned to Luo Tianjin, shouting, "Luo Tianjin, tonight I'm going to help Yan... Yan Wuji deal with you. Just use whatever means you have!"
