"Fuck! Why did my aunt follow you?! Who do you think you are?" Lei Li raised her eyebrows and pointed at the tip of her nose and scolded. "My father is the head of the Lei family, "Jiulong Mad Sword". Can you, the gang of unsightly thieves, afford it? Get out of here, don't block the way!"

The leader of the man with leopard head and eyes were as strong as a tiger, as solid as a rock, with no emotion in his eyes, and said coldly: "We are catching Lei Hongtao's daughter! If you have nothing to do with him, I won't catch you! Girls, if you want to blame, you will blame yourself for your bad life. Why do you have to be born in the Lei family?"

Lei Li was shocked and said suspiciously: "Are you my father's enemy? Because you dare not seek revenge on him, you want to hijack me?"

The man in the lead said impatiently: "Stop being verbose! Brothers, take action! Anyone who dares to stop will be killed without mercy!" "Yes!" The men behind him agreed with a loud voice, and pulled out the saber, roared, rushed over with a whistle, with uniform movements and fierce momentum.

Seeing that it was inevitable to take action, Li Shan shouted to everyone: "Protect Miss Lei!" He knocked his feet against the horse's belly, and pulled his sword and rushed out. Although he was facing more than twenty sharp swords, he was not afraid at all. His straight back, which was as tall as a gun, revealed an unparalleled fighting spirit. The young men pulled out their weapons and swarmed in front of Lei Li's horse. For a moment, the sound of hooves shook, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Lei Li's eyes passed over everyone and fell on Li Shan, clenched his fists, and his nails stabbed into the flesh without knowing it.

Su Haoran asked in a low voice: "Young Master, should we interfere?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "Since Li Shan has drawn his sword, how can we stay out of here? Haoran, you should protect Miss Lei quickly." He paused and said softly, "Ling'er, can you still use poison skills?"

Pan Ling'er was inconvenient to ride a horse alone due to serious injuries. She kept snuggling in his arms. He heard this and chuckled: "Brother, don't worry, I can do it."

At this moment, the sound of metal hitting and the neighing of the man and horse suddenly burst out. Li Shan inserted into the opponent's formation like a sharp cone. The person who blocked the blade was invincible. In a blink of an eye, he slashed four or five people straight to the leader's horse, and slashed at the opponent's chest with a knife. Li Shan knew that there were many enemies, so he wanted to adopt the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and seized the initiative first. He was quick and sharp, and he had excellent martial arts skills. He was able to kill his life and kill him.

The leading man saw that his companion who had been through many battles could not stop Li Shan's move and half of the move. He had already been cautious. He pulled the reins with his left hand, and leaped the man and the horse with more than 100 feet. His right hand knife turned back and slashed Li Shan's back. At the same time, three other people turned their horse's head and shouted and slashed Li Shan. But when he heard several loud noises, Li Shan blocked the enemy's four swords in a row. But after all, he had just been injured by the neck tiger, and he blocked the enemy's four heavy swords. His wounds were all cracked. His chest was sore and painful under the force impact. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.

The four people who besieged him were all experienced masters, how could Li Shan have enough breathing opportunities? At the same time, he shouted "Kill!" and slashed down four swords at the same time, and divided the key points around the opponent, and cooperated with extremely tacit understanding. When their sabers fell, they were either forward or back, left or right, with concise moves, and were fierce and fierce, giving Li Shan no room for dodging. If it weren't for years of bloody battles, there would never be a way to join forces to use such a killer move.

Lei Li looked at it from a distance, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but shout, "Be careful!" She raised her arm, threw the steel knife out of her hand, and shot at one of them. But she and Li Shan were seven or eight feet away. Even if the speed of the flying knife was fast, she would not have time to save him.

At the critical moment of life and death, Li Shan's mind was particularly clear. Even though his eyes could not fully see the figures of the four opponents, he clearly outlined the postures of the four people and the trajectory of the steel swords changing and sliding. Even the rattle of the horse trampling on the snow, the sound of the whistling wind around, and the sound of the flying knife breaking through the air were unmistakable, and he clearly identified it. At this moment, he suddenly realized an unprecedented and new realm. He seemed to be observing everything around him with his "heart", including himself, and no longer limited to his eyes.

The enemy's sword seemed to be equally fierce, but in fact there was still a difference in speed, and the strength was still different. Moreover, the part taken by the blade was not very accurate. Li Shan saw the enemy's flaws, and the sword danced and protected the upper plate. His left palm gently patted the horse's neck. The black horse's four hooves bounced suddenly and hit the side and hit the opponent's horse to the ground at the same time. The next moment, the sword flashed, and the man's head fell to the ground. Li Shan did not stop, drove the horse like flying, and rushed out of the encirclement gap.

"Boy, don't run away!" The other three shouted loudly, chasing the horse and chasing each other reluctantly.

Li Shan suddenly strangled the reins while galloping, and the rider stood up, and turned nimblely 180 degrees in the air. His front hooves fell to the ground, and his back hooves kicked back like an arrow. However, Li Shan did not rush straight to the middle of the three, but rushed to the enemy's flank. The opponent did not expect that he could turn back so quickly. In a slight surprise, Li Shan's knife had already slashed the head of the man on the right. Unexpectedly, the man turned a blind eye and slashed at Li Shan's face with the same knife. He did not hesitate when he took action, and was simply fearless.

"Do!" Mars flew, and the two swords were about to part. The people passed by, and only a short piece of the long sword in the big man's hand was left.

The three of them were also very skilled in riding. They almost turned their heads and stared at Li Shan. At this moment, the expressions of the three of them suddenly froze, and they moved their eyes, looking at their companions a little far away in shock, unable to believe their eyes. In just a few blinks, the more than 20 brave and brave men with red scarf fell to the ground, their faces turned black, and they struggled and twitched in pain. The leader was shocked and angry, and shouted: "You are actually despicable and shameless injuring people with poison! Come and get the antidote!"

Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "The battlefield confrontation is the ultimate in order to win. Is it a sensation for you to take advantage of the fire and rob the weak, which is a sacrificial act? Yes, they are poisoned. But at this time the situation is reversed, why do you ask us for the antidote?"

Pan Ling'er's nose wrinkled slightly and smiled hard, "I won't give you an antidote, so what can you do?" It turned out that when the big men of red scarf rushed to the front, she suddenly threw out several projectiles, which exploded on the ground and produced highly toxic smoke. The big men of red scarf could not hold back and rushed into the poisonous fog, but none of them were spared and were poisoned. Pan Ling'er used a large-scale poison technique for the first time and succeeded in one fell swooping. She felt very proud and even forgot about the pain on her body.

The leader of the man is a wise and brave figure. Otherwise, how could he take on the heavy responsibility and lead people to attack for a long distance without being discovered? He had already understood Lei Li's background and thought Lei Li was able to get it right, but he didn't know that a few strange faces would suddenly appear, completely disrupting his plan. Although these people are young, they are not ordinary people, and they are definitely not mediocre. Moreover, the seemingly cute little girl must be a big expert in using poison, not that they can deal with. At this moment, with their only remaining personnel, they can never complete the original task. If they could save the poisoned companions, it would be thankful. He frowned and said calmly: "Then how do you want to release people?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "The grudges in the world should naturally be resolved by the people in the world. We should follow Brother Li's leader, so please ask Brother Li to propose conditions!"

Li Shan was not polite and said loudly: "If you are willing to answer my two questions truthfully, we will release them immediately and give the antidote!" Lei Li glanced at him, his lips stammered, but he did not raise any objections in the end.

The leading man said slowly: "You said!"

Li Shan said: "Okay! My question is very simple: First, why did you kidnap Miss Lei? Second, who instructed you to do this?" In order to eliminate future troubles, the leader behind the scenes must be found, otherwise similar incidents will continue to happen repeatedly.

The headed man's muscles twitched slightly, his eyes were as gloomy as ink. He looked at his companion lying on the snow, his lips were pursed, and there was no sound for a long time. These two simple questions actually made him fall into a difficult situation of choice. If he answered truthfully, it would mean that the secret was leaked and he betrayed the lord. If he didn't answer, it would be difficult for him to survive. Which of the two is more important? At this time, a poisoned man said with difficulty: "Big...Brother, we can't betray the young master! Go quickly, don't worry about us!" The others responded, "Yes!" "Can't say it!"

The leader's tiger eyes drooped, and two lines of hot tears rolled down. He suddenly pulled out a dagger and threw it to the big man beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Xiao, Wu Jiang, you go back and report to the young master immediately, and said that I have a burden and have no face to live in the world. I have committed suicide on the spot!"

The two of them were shocked and said in unison: "Brother, don't!"

The leader said decisively: "I have decided, don't persuade me anymore. Let's go!"

The two of them looked at each other, gave a deep salute, and choked and said, "After completing the task, we will definitely come to follow our elder brother!" The driver pulled his seat and ran away without looking back.

The man in charge jumped off the saddle, looked at his companions who fell to the ground, and slowly said, "You and I have been together for many years, and have killed countless thieves. The deep friendship is beyond words. If there is any hope, I will fight to save everyone. But the young master is as kind as a mountain, and he is also polite to our relatives. We must not betray him. I am ashamed of the young master's entrusted first, but I am unable to solve the predicament of my brothers. Tong is incompetent and has implicated everyone. Please forgive me!" As he said that, he knelt on the ground with one leg and laughed: "I will be a hero in the next life!" The steel knife blew his neck, and blood spurted like a spring, and he committed suicide.

"Brother!" The big men in red scarf called out, bursting into tears.

When Li Shan and others were shocked when they saw the leader of the Han Dynasty so loyal and fierce, they were all impressed. He could leave safely, but eventually chose to stay and would rather die than reveal his secret. This kind of courage and friendship is rare in the world.

A big man with red scarf suddenly screamed, "Brother Tong died for us, how can we let him down? I, Zhu Lisheng, take a step first!" He took out the dagger hidden close to his body, and stabbed the blade into his heart with force. Without waiting for everyone to stop him, all the big man with red scarf actually raised his sword and committed suicide. His movements were firm and quick, and no one let out a moan from beginning to end.

Everyone looked at the corpses everywhere and couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. Life and death are sometimes separated by a line. Li Shan sighed: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Even if you are a top master, how can you be unbeaten? If you fail, you will die, which is really unwise." But in his heart, he was secretly shocked. Who could train such a warrior who is ready to die and is steadfast? The strength of the other party must be quite strong and will never be weaker than the five major families. When the Lei family meets such an opponent, they will be unable to sleep or eat in the future.

Lei Li said: "Don't waste time and sigh. Search them quickly and maybe you can find some useful clues!"

Li Shan shook his head and said, "Just look at the style of these people, you will know that they have received strict training and strict discipline. They must have been reviewed before they set out to eliminate all signs that may reveal their identities, and even weapons may be bought temporarily. Even if they are rummaging through them, they will not find anything useful." He has been in the world for many years, and his experience is far better than Lei Li, and he has no hope of finding the so-called clues.

Lei Li gave him a blank look and retorted: "You are just taking it for granted, I don't believe it!" He immediately directed his companions to check the clothes of the big men in the red scarf. Unexpectedly, as Li Shan said, he didn't find anything. Lei Li felt disappointed and stayed away from Li Shan intentionally or unintentionally.

After this battle, everyone became more cautious when they set off on the road, and sent several riders to guard the situation. Halfway through the way, they suddenly saw dust and sand rolling in front and a bunch of people emerged. Lei Li frowned and said in a daze: "No? Someone else robbed him?" Hu Xiaotianyun looked at him with all his eyes, and saw that the visitor was Song Qian and the guards, and he felt very calm and did not say it out loud. Others had never practiced the "sky eye power". It was not until Song Qian and others rushed to the front that they felt relieved.

When Song Qian saw Hu Xiaotian and others, he was shocked and said, "Young Master, have you bumped into a robber? How are you injured?" It turned out that he had not seen Hu Xiaotian and others return in the inn for a long time. He felt suspicious, afraid that they would have an accident, so he summoned the guards to go out of the city to search.

Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not bad. But Ling'er and Nangong were infected with the poisonous palm of the camel demon, and it needs to be treated by the gods. As for the details, I will talk about it after returning to the city." At this time, there were many people, especially when it involved the internal affairs of the Demon Cult, so it was not convenient to talk in depth.

Song Qian knew it in his heart and did not mention all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Back at the inn, Song Qian stabilized Nangong Qiu and Pan Ling'er's injuries, and then came to Hu Xiaotian's room alone. Hu Xiaotian told the story of what happened today and finally asked: "Can you guess what treasure is hidden in the iron box? Xiang Hu called Li Wanjie a disciple of the 'Qianmen'. What sect does this 'Qianmen' refer to?"

Song Qian said excitedly: "Young Master, you are really lucky! If I expected it, the iron box may be fragments of the secret picture of the altar of this sect!"

It turned out that in the ancient war thousands of years ago, Chiyou was defeated by Huangdi Xuanyuan, and his tribe was forced to move south from his hometown. In ancient times, each tribe had its own altar, used to pray, sacrifice, gather, ruling, and discuss major events in the tribe. It was the core of the tribe and gathered most of the secrets. Because Chiyou was defeated by accident, the Jiuyi tribe was relatively hasty when moving away, and had to seal the altar secretly to avoid being destroyed and plundered by Xuanyuan warriors. The detailed location was engraved on a quick black iron stone, kept by the high priest in the tribe, and passed down from generation to generation. It can be called the most sacred artifact of the Jiuyi tribe and the spiritual source of the entire tribe.

But more than a thousand years ago, the most serious civil war in record-breaking occurred within the Demon Cult because of the leader's dispute. This civil war lasted for decades, countless dead people, and even the high priest at that time could not escape, and unfortunately died bizarrely. The secret map of the Black Iron kept by him disappeared, and it flowed into whose hands, becoming the top priority that caused the entire clan at that time. When the secret map of the Black Iron appeared in the world again, it had been split into two halves by a sharp weapon, and it was no longer as complete as it was before. Various rumors about the secret map also began to spread on the **. It is said that as long as you get the complete secret map of the Black Iron, you can find the treasure of the Demon Cult, and you can be rich overnight. As a result, in addition to the masters of the Demon Cult, you also attracted the covetousness of other heroes, and countless people died for it. The secret map of the Black Iron has changed hands several times, and its whereabouts have become a big mystery.

Hu Xiaotian was awakened by Song Qian, recalling the Demon Cult classics he had seen, and his heart moved and murmured: "Is it really it?"

Song Qian said: "There is no more than five things that can make Xiang Hu tempt, also known as the "treasure", are nothing more than Chiyou's blood axe, magic armor, mysterious iron secret map, spiritual beast egg and world-destroying overlord skills. Among them, Chiyou's blood axe and world-destroying overlord skills were handed down by leaders of all generations. The magic armor has disappeared for thousands of years, and the spirit beast egg cannot be verified. Therefore, judging from size, shape and possible origin, only the mysterious iron secret map is consistent! Young Master, if we can take it, we will definitely make a great contribution to the Divine Cult and then get the support of some elders in the sect, which will benefit the future leaders' dispute without any harm!"

Hu Xiaotian frowned and said, "But the secret map of the black iron is now in Li Shan's hands, and Li Shan agreed to the request of the Mo brothers before their death and handed the iron box to the head of the Mo family. This matter is not easy to deal with!"

Song Qian's face flashed with murderous intent and said coldly: "A small person is not a gentleman, but a non-toxic man is not a husband. If a young master wants to accomplish great things, he must not show mercy everywhere. As long as the young master nods, we will be determined without intention, and killing Li Shan is easy to turn aside!"

Hu Xiaotian's heart trembled and said, "Is there no other way?"

Song Qian said: "Li Shan has a strong personality and will always be honest. He is not close to alcohol and sex, and is unparalleled in his ability. Apart from head-on, I think it is difficult to get the iron box. Young Master, since Li Shan has not had a deep friendship with us, what's the point of killing him! Please make a decision quickly!"
