Chapter 65 A Fierce Battle

No matter what, it is inevitable that we will have to take action.

Jiang Hanfeng drew out his sword and protected Shen Yingxue in front of him. The disciples of the Eight Directions Sect who rushed over were easily blocked by him. Seeing that Jiang Hanfeng only defended and did not attack, those people attacked more fiercely and mercilessly. Jiang Hanfeng no longer held back. Each of his moves could nullify a person's action. It was quick and decisive, without any delay.

Shen Yingxue stood behind him, looking unhappy.

Because his right hand was injured, he did not bring the familiar long sword of the original owner, and only had a light short knife in his sleeve. Shen Yingxue covered it with his sleeve, and the short knife was already in his hand. With Jiang Hanfeng protecting him in front, Shen Yingxue did not have to worry about his own safety for the time being, and his attention was all on Lan Jin.

Lan Jin seemed to have spent a lot of effort to dodge the killing move. He did not run to Shen Yingxue, but smiled at Shen Yingxue and staggered in the opposite direction. The person who had just escorted him directly stabbed him with a backhand, and blood seeped out, staining Lan Jin's clothes red.

Shen Yingxue had never fought before and was not sure of his own strength. In this situation, any movement could mean a matter of life or death. He quickly decided on a plan of action and said to Jiang Hanfeng, "Don't worry about me, go and capture the leader."

Jiang Hanfeng glanced at him, his worry evident in his eyes, but he still followed Shen Yingxue's instructions, used his Qinggong skills, stepped on the minion's shoulders, and rushed towards Wang Xing.

After Jiang Hanfeng left, there was a gap near Shen Yingxue. Those people were furious and rushed towards Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yingxue had good eyesight, and with the help of the mosaic system, she couldn't see the expressions of those people. She was even able to do it with ease. She dodged a few times and took advantage of every opportunity to go in the direction of Lan Jin.

He walked so easily that it looked as if the group of people had deliberately let him walk around. Only those people knew that they had already tried their best, but the Flower Master was so powerful that he didn't take them seriously at all and easily dodged them.

Wang Xing is the leader of the Bafang Sect, and his power is stronger than the others. He wields a big sword with great vigor, and he is not so easy to capture. Jiang Hanfeng is worried about Shen Yingxue, so he attacks more fiercely, blocking his power, and stabs with his sword when he finds the right spot. The angle of the sword is too tricky, and Wang Xing dodges to the side, almost losing his balance. Jiang Hanfeng moves quickly, takes a step forward, goes around behind Wang Xing, and stabs his right leg.

Wang Xing was unsteady on his feet and fell to one knee. Jiang Hanfeng placed his sword on his neck and said to Wang Xing, "Tell them to stop."

Wang Xing sneered: "Don't even think about it."

When the fight really started, Shen Yingxue realized that he was not that weak. The other people's movements seemed extremely slow in his eyes. Shen Yingxue didn't know whether his martial arts had become very powerful or it was a benefit of Mosaic. He walked along with the short dagger in his hand and scratched their right hands holding the dagger, eliminating most of their fighting power.

He quickly came to Lan Jin's side, grabbed the wrist of the man who was holding a knife towards Lan Jin, pinched his pulse and twisted it, so that the wrist was dislocated and twisted into a strange arc.

The steel knife fell to the ground with a clang, and the man screamed in pain. Shen Yingxue kicked him out, reached out to Lan Jin on the ground, pulled him up, and said to Lan Jin: "Hide behind me."

Lan Jin seemed to have returned to many years ago in a trance, and looked at Shen Yingxue with great emotion, "Master..."

Shen Yingxue said: "Don't worry, my martial arts have recovered a lot, and I'm not as weak as before."

It had always been Lan Jin who had protected him, and now he could finally give Lan Jin protection.

Lan Jin felt extremely guilty, "Actually you didn't have to come."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What will you do if I don't come?" Shen Yingxue led him to fight and retreat.

Lan Jin didn't say anything, but in fact, he was looking forward to Shen Yingxue's arrival. He still had some hope in his heart, otherwise he would have committed suicide when he was first caught. How could he live to this day and let Shen Yingxue be threatened?

Shen Yingxue's choice made Lan Jin feel extremely guilty. Before, he still cared about his own life, but now, if his death could help Shen Yingxue, he would die without hesitation.

Shen Yingxue looked at the chaotic scene and murmured, "Why haven't you come yet?"

"What?" Lan Jin asked.

Reinforcements?

But weren’t all the accomplices in Jinling City killed long ago?

The master sent troops from other places, but they couldn't arrive in just a few days. Moreover, they guarded the city very strictly, and if a large number of people came, the Bafang Sect would not be unaware.

Could it be that he is one of King Zhongxin’s men?

While Lan Jin was still at a loss, a group of men in black appeared from the streets. They moved lightly and stealthily, and there were more and more of them. Each of them had a hidden weapon in his hand. They gradually surrounded the people from the Bafang Sect, and the hidden weapons hit their bodies, and the people holding knives fell down one by one.

Wang Xing reacted and looked at the man in black lying on the wall, his pupils shrinking: "It's the Blood Shadow Building!"

Jiang Hanfeng didn't answer him. He slashed at the back of his neck with his hand and ignored him.

Wang Xing's attitude was firm. Jiang Hanfeng could see that the Bafang Sect would use all its strength to deal with them and would definitely not give up. They would rather die than stop.

Moreover, the number of people who appeared here far exceeded the number of people from the Bafang Sect. There might be disciples from many other sects here as well. But for some reason, there was only one leader, Wang Xing, and none of the other senior leaders showed up.

"Xueying Tower has taken refuge in Zanhua Lane!" someone shouted.

Jiang Hanfeng stepped on the blood on the ground and came to Shen Yingxue's side. He glanced at Lan Jin and saw that although he was weak, he still had the strength to move. "Let's go."

The three retreated towards the Blood Shadow Building and were about to leave the alley when they saw Gu Liansheng in black blocking the end of the alley. With him were two men in satin clothes, who seemed to be of high status.

They all had weapons in their hands and murderous looks on their faces, and they were all here to surround Hua Zhu.

When Shen Yingxue saw the huge lotus, she really didn't expect that they would have come to this point.

It seems that it is not reliable to judge whether a person is a villain based on mosaics.

Gu Liansheng said coldly: "Hand over Shen Yingxue, and I will leave you with an intact body."

Shen Yingxue touched his face and then remembered that he was still in disguise. No wonder Gu Liansheng couldn't recognize him.

"You are quite confident." Shen Yingxue had no ill will towards him at first, and even had a good impression of him because his mosaic was the same as her mother's. But gradually, this man's behavior became strange.

When did it start to get weird?

Shen Yingxue thought about it and felt that it was a bit strange at the beginning. What became truly unreasonable was after he was rescued from Yuding Villa.

Shen Yingxue didn't have the original owner's memory. He only heard that this person had been an undercover agent in the Demon Cult and was a good friend of the original owner during his undercover period. He was obviously the first to betray, but now he pretended to be doing it for Shen Yingxue's good. Shen Yingxue felt disgusted for the original owner.

Gu Liansheng said, "Do you think that the Eight Directions Sect is the only one here? Jinling City has already laid a net of heaven and earth, and all the forces that can be gathered in the righteous path are here. Even if you have the help of the Blood Shadow Tower, it will only add a few more souls. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, so that you can die more easily."

Lan Jin felt even more sorry for Shen Yingxue after hearing this. But Shen Yingxue was already here, and even if he died, he couldn't change the situation.

Shen Yingxue smiled and said, "Really?"

Gu Liansheng felt uneasy because of his smile.

Hua Zhu is too cunning. It is unreasonable for him to risk his life for a subordinate. Could it be that he really has some hidden card?

There are many sects that have defected to Zanhua Lane, but those sects are nothing but fence-sitters. They will scatter at the critical moment and will not help Zanhua Lane at all. They are like a group of scattered sand.

Apart from this, what other cards does the flower owner have?

Gu Liansheng couldn't figure it out.

"Are you just a few of you?" Shen Yingxue looked at them, estimating their strength.

He didn't feel anything the last time he attacked, and Shen Yingxue also wanted to test his limits.

Who doesn't like power?

Shen Yingxue has practiced martial arts for so long, isn't it just for today?

The original owner was known as the best in the world. Although it was not clear who was better between him and Jiang Hanfeng, it seemed that they were not much different. Shen Yingxue also wanted to try and see where the gap was between herself and the original owner.

He whispered to Lan Jin behind him, "Take the opportunity to escape and go to Jingshui Lane to find the people from the Blood Shadow Building. I've already given them a heads-up."

Lan Jin wanted to refuse at first, but then he thought that he had no poison to use, and his martial arts skills were weak and he lacked strength. If he stayed, he would only be a drag on Shen Yingxue. So he nodded calmly and agreed.

Gu Liansheng winked at the others, and several of them rushed forward. The assassins from the Blood Shadow Building were still shooting arrows in the dark, preventing the scattered soldiers from approaching, providing them with a relatively safe environment for fighting.

Gu Liansheng's attack was mainly directed at Jiang Hanfeng, which made Shen Yingxue a little depressed. He could only deal with the other two people.

Unexpectedly, the other two people's martial arts seemed to be much higher than Gu Liansheng. As soon as Shen Yingxue faced them, she felt that these two people were very powerful. She adjusted her mentality and did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so she started fighting with them.

Jiang Hanfeng restrained Gu Liansheng and went to help Shen Yingxue. Lan Jin found the right opportunity to escape and ran all the way to Jingshui Lane. He stopped only when he saw the killer from Xueying Tower who came to support him.

"Blister beetle, angelica dahurica, rouge, Chuanwu..." Lan Jin named the herbs in one breath, holding on to the wall and almost unable to stand steadily, and said in a harsh tone, "Go and prepare the medicine! Go quickly!"

The people in the Blood Shadow Building were told by Shen Yingxue that they had to pick someone up, and it looked like this was the one. They were also experienced assassins, and seeing Lan Jin's ferocious look, they could probably guess what he had been through, so they immediately went to buy medicine.

Lan Jin leaned against the wall and rested for a while. He felt that he couldn't go on like this. He hurriedly found some food to replenish his energy. He also bought some herbs from there. Lan Jin hurriedly prepared them and called a few people, "The flower owner is still there. Come with me to save people."

After all, Shen Yingxue had not practiced martial arts for long enough, and her body had not fully recovered. After fighting for a while, her wrists ached slightly, and her dantian was not quite right. Fortunately, Jiang Hanfeng was there to support her, sharing most of the pressure.

There were more than just these people guarding here. There were also some people at the other exits. Seeing that Shen Yingxue didn't go there, they also rushed over here.

Jiang Hanfeng took a quick look and found that there were many familiar faces.

That group of people also knew Jiang Hanfeng. Seeing him with Hua Zhu and being against the righteous for Hua Zhu, they all advised him to mend his ways with great sorrow.

Shen Yingxue looked at it with amusement: "What is evil? What is good?"

An elderly man, with a righteous look on his face, replied in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The old owner of Yuding Villa is such a kind and righteous person. He raised Young Master Jiang and taught him to be righteous! It's a pity that the second young master threw the old owner's teachings behind his head and associated with evil. How can he be worthy of his father and brother?"

He didn't want to waste time arguing with Hua Zhu and just wanted Jiang Hanfeng to change his mind, so he moved out of the old manor.

As for what the old manor owner had taught Jiang Hanfeng, how could he know? He just looked at the current Yuding Manor and guessed that if it was Jiang Xi'an and others, they would definitely not be with Huazhu like Jiang Hanfeng, so he said so.

As long as Jiang Hanfeng can understand it, it's fine.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hanfeng was so bloodthirsty that he remained indifferent even when he heard the name of the old manor owner. He even took the initiative to hold the flower owner's hand, and held the bloody sword tightly with his other hand, "I have done my best and have no regrets."

He is no longer the ignorant person he used to be, and Shen Yingxue also confessed the truth.

Everything Hua Zhu did was done from Shen Yingxue's perspective.

Shen Yingxue wanted revenge, and Jiang Hanfeng didn't think she was wrong.

Even though many people were killed today, it was the righteous who took action first, using cats to trick them here. If you don't resist at this time, are you standing here waiting to die?

They have been practicing martial arts since they were young and have spent so much energy on martial arts. Apart from their own interests and hobbies, wasn't their original intention to protect themselves?

What's wrong with them?

The old man who was talking had some friendship with Jiang Hanfeng's father. He didn't expect Jiang Hanfeng to be so stubborn, and he just wanted to persuade Jiang Hanfeng to change his ways. Judging from the current situation, if he continued to be stubborn, he would only end up dead. At this moment, if he let go of Huazhu's hand and returned to them, he would still have a chance to survive.

"What kind of magic potion did they feed you? It's fine that you like Ling Yun, but how can you be attracted to Hua Zhu?" He was heartbroken. "This man is very cunning and deceived you into being devoted to him. You are young and can't see through his heart. How can you know that he is just deceiving you and how sincere he is to you?"

Jiang Hanfeng was silent.

The relationship between father and son is indeed difficult to justify.

He knew that Hua Zhu and Ling Yun were both Shen Yingxue, but these people didn't know. In the eyes of the righteous, he was entangled with this "father and son". Jiang Hanfeng had a clear conscience in other aspects, but he felt guilty about this.

He glanced at Shen Yingxue with a hint of blame and grievance.

Shen Yingxue said, "Who he likes is none of your business. My father and I are both willing and not angry. Why are you panicking? Are you afraid that you will follow Jiang Hanfeng's example and do the same thing? Don't you look back and see the gap between you and him? What kind of person is he? What do you have to worry about?"

Shen Yingxue's words completely angered them, and they felt that he was misleading people.

There are many people who have fun in the righteous path, but they do it in private, only talking about desires and not feelings, and they will never put it on the table like Jiang Hanfeng, making it known to everyone. Jiang Hanfeng is the outlier among them, no wonder he betrayed the righteous path and mixed with Huazhu.

Those people couldn't convince Hua Zhu, and Jiang Hanfeng was also angry. He didn't bother to persuade him to turn back, so he just rushed forward and took down the two men.

Once we capture the Flower Master, will we still worry about not being able to command the Hairpin Flower Lane?

They all knew very well in their hearts that whoever captured the Flower Master would be the most likely to become the master of the martial arts world.

The hidden weapons of the Blood Shadow Building were almost used up, and the killer who was hiding appeared and fought with them.

Shen Yingxue did not care about the pain in her body and gave it a try. When her right hand lost strength, she switched to her left hand. Her black clothes were stained with blood and her expression was cold. She looked like a Shura killer god, resolute and fearless.

He slowly entered a very mysterious state. The mosaic reduced the visual stimulation to the greatest extent. Shen Yingxue felt extremely calm, as if he had split into two people, one who kept fighting and the other who was watching coldly, like an outsider. He could see the strength points and weaknesses of these people clearly, and the fight became easier.

His martial arts skills were not much different from Jiang Hanfeng's, and he was even slightly weaker because of his unfamiliar weapons. However, his opponent was under great pressure, even greater than when he faced Jiang Hanfeng.

They couldn't describe the feeling, they just felt that part of Huazhu's humanity seemed to have been stripped away. When fighting with him, this man had a kind of fearless madness, and was simply not like a sane person.

The two people who had just followed Gu Liansheng also felt this.

Hua Zhu's initial martial arts skills were only of average quality, but as the fight went on, his will to fight grew stronger and his fighting power also increased.

When facing a strong opponent, you will become stronger and become the master of flowers.

Shen Yingxue had killed almost everyone here before he slowly regained his senses. He had an indescribable feeling, as if he had not been completely in tune with this body for more than three years, and had only completely merged into one today.

The memories of the original owner killing people in the Demon Cult slowly emerged in his mind. Shen Yingxue couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the original owner's memory or his own memory.

Seeing how powerful Shen Yingxue was and how many people had been killed by him, those people on the righteous side did not have the courage to confront him and began to retreat timidly.

Shen Yingxue did not chase after them. Jiang Hanfeng felt that Shen Yingxue was not in a good state, and he was worried about him, so he did not chase after them either. The two men, one black and one white, were covered in blood, their faces were grim, and they stared coldly at the group of defeated subordinates who were fleeing in panic, as if to say: Go away, go back and tell the others, and if you have any other tricks, just come on!

After the group of people escaped, Lan Jin also led a few killers over. Seeing the place in a mess, blood all over the ground, and corpses everywhere, his heart tightened, "Master!"

Shen Yingxue looked at him coldly and nodded slightly.

"You..." When Lan Jin met his eyes, she felt a familiar throbbing.

He was so familiar with this look. Shen Yingxue was such a cold person before he went crazy. Now, although he had the disguise of the flower master on his face, he looked very much like the leader of the demon sect three years ago.

Jiang Hanfeng also noticed Shen Yingxue's change, shook off the blood on his sword, restrained his murderous aura, and looked at him with concern: "Are you okay?"

Shen Yingxue shook her head slowly.

Jiang Hanfeng was still very worried. He didn't know Shen Yingxue was the flower master before, he only saw him as "Ling Yun" weak and confused, so when Shen Yingxue attacked Fu Sheng, he stopped her for a while, fearing that Shen Yingxue was not conscious at the time and would do something that he would regret.

The situation is completely different now. The image of Hua Zhu in Jiang Hanfeng's mind is completely opposite to Ling Yun. When Jiang Hanfeng knew that these two people were Shen Yingxue, his mind was confused for a while, and it was difficult for him to regard them as the same person. It was not until not long ago that Shen Yingxue attacked Sang Zichen that Jiang Hanfeng felt it for real.

But even if Shen Yingxue was conscious and could handle the affairs of Zanhua Lane as the flower owner, and could mediate between the forces, he would still be Ling Yun, who was as blank as a sheet of paper.

He has a vulnerable side, otherwise he wouldn't have collapsed and gone crazy.

Today's war is inevitable.

Jiang Hanfeng had no better solution. He just wanted to give Shen Yingxue all the care he could when he was at his most vulnerable, so as not to let him go astray.

Shen Yingxue dropped the dagger in her hand and walked towards Jiang Hanfeng, "I'm so tired, carry me on your back."

Jiang Hanfeng was also very tired, but his condition was much better than Shen Yingxue. He handed the long sword to Lan Jin, checked that he had no injuries, carried Shen Yingxue on his back, turned around and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

"Hmm." Shen Yingxue responded softly, lying on his back, her thoughts becoming more and more fuzzy, and then he suddenly woke up and found that he had fallen into the memories of the original owner again.

This time was when the original owner had just arrived at the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult's killer taught him how to kill people in a more energy-saving way. The three-year-old child tilted his head back, listening in a daze.

The killer handed him a dagger and pushed him: "Go, kill him."

There was a person lying in front of me. Judging from his clothes, he looked like a gangster, but I didn't know which sect he belonged to.

Xiao Shen Yingxue held the dagger tightly, his palms sweating. He was extremely scared and walked slowly towards the man, not daring to take action.

The killer whipped him with a whip, and little Shen Yingxue staggered and fell to the ground. He held the dagger tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

The killer then said to another child, who was about five or six years old, "You go."

The child was much older than Shen Yingxue. When he heard the killer's words, he did not walk towards the man lying on the ground. Instead, he held the knife fiercely and walked towards the little Shen Yingxue.

…

Lan Jin went to rest. Jiang Hanfeng held Shen Yingxue and slept with him for a while. Suddenly he woke up and found that Shen Yingxue's body was slightly curled up, but she did not wake up. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and she was actually sobbing softly.

He hugged Shen Yingxue and comforted her gently. Shen Yingxue felt the warmth and moved closer to Jiang Hanfeng, snuggling closely with him. She seemed to feel safe, stopped crying, and calmed down.

"What did you dream about?" Jiang Hanfeng wiped the tears from his face, held Shen Yingxue's right hand, and gently massaged his wrist.

Shen Yingxue opened his eyes dazedly and saw the familiar mosaic again, feeling at ease. He heard Jiang Hanfeng's question and answered subconsciously: "I seem to be Shen Yingxue."

Jiang Hanfeng smiled and said, "If you are not Shen Yingxue, who else could you be?"

Then his mood sank. He had thought before that Shen Yingxue might think of him as two people, one was the real him, and the other was the flower owner.

So did that fierce battle make him realize his true identity?

If you think about it this way, it should be considered a good thing.
