The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 391: I walked too much at night and actually encountered a ghost

Bai Shijing was doomed to gain nothing by mobilizing the Beggar Gang disciples to raid the Murong family's residence. Not to mention that the masters of the Murong family stationed here had special identities and were hiding in the crowd. The so-called residence was not a secret place at all, but a shop. Even Ma Dayuan himself did not know the specific situation, let alone Bai Shijing, Kang Min and others.

Even if the body was found, there were ways to frame it. Even if there was no body, it would not be difficult for Kang Min. She could naturally win over a group of people to work for her. Bai Shijing was only the first one, and the one closest to Ma Dayuan in status. After Ma Dayuan passed away, Bai Shijing was the closest to the position of deputy gang leader. At that time, her backer would not be lost.

Moreover, the identity of the deputy leader's widow might be more useful, as she could make friends with more high-ranking members of the Beggar Gang, instead of being as timid and secretive as Ma Dayuan was in the past.

Without mentioning Bai Shijing and Kang Min's doomed search operation, let's talk about Ma Dayuan who ran wildly all the way. At this time, he didn't care about distinguishing between east, west, south and north. He just used his Qinggong skills and fully exerted his first-class internal strength. He actually ran with some passion.

"Where is this place?" In Ma Dayuan's memory, he was very familiar with the surrounding environment. After all, it was his own base and he had to know something about it. However, there seemed to be a place near his compound where someone was living in seclusion. According to the intelligence from the Beggar Gang, the person living in seclusion here was actually the lover of the King of Zhennan of Dali.

"Xiaojing Lake?" Ma Dayuan took a deep breath and displayed all the information about this place in his mind, but he found that there was not much useful information. He only knew that there was a square bamboo forest here, and a woman named Ruan Xingzhu lived in it. This woman was quite beautiful and had some martial arts skills, but they were not necessarily very good. She was just said to be a good swimmer.

Resurrection point, resurrection point!

Ma Dayuan knew that he still had six days of bad luck and could die suddenly at any time, so he needed to leave more resurrection points and choose to resurrect in different places according to different situations. He fumbled around for a while and found the flint. He spent some time to make a fire to illuminate the surrounding environment and get a clear look at the surrounding environment.

Places that are not clear, where you stayed for too short a time and have no deep impression cannot be used as resurrection points. When Ma Dayuan felt it was about time, he lit a bonfire to warm himself, and then found a big tree, climbed up in a few steps, and prepared to spend the night there. He would sneak back to the mansion at dawn tomorrow to find out what was going on.

If he found something wrong, he would immediately flee to the Luoyang headquarters and send a message to the gang leader Qiao Feng. As the deputy gang leader, isn't it normal to seek help from the gang leader when in trouble?

But before he fell asleep, he heard a sound coming from afar. Ma Dayuan was quite alert and immediately sat up on the tree branch, but found that the blazing bonfire on the ground not far away had become the most direct target. It was too late to go down and extinguish it. He saw a group of four rather strange people walking towards him at a very fast speed in the distance, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the bonfire.

"Boss, the bonfire is burning brightly. I'm afraid the person who started the fire hasn't gone far yet." The man who spoke was dressed in yellow clothes. His head was unusually large, and his wide mouth revealed white sharp teeth. His eyes were round and small like two beans. He looked really ugly in the firelight, but the two weapons behind him were quite special. They were a crocodile tail whip and crocodile mouth scissors.

Among the other three, there was a beautiful woman with old claw marks on her face, a strange man with stiff face and muscles, unable to close his eyelids, and leaning on two thin iron rods seven or eight feet long, and the last one was an ugly man who was very tall and very thin, like a bamboo pole, holding a pair of iron claws and steel rods in his hands.

A name suddenly popped up in Ma Dayuan's mind: The Four Evils. How could they be here? His luck was truly terrible. Not only were these four evil men evil, but they also possessed extraordinary martial arts skills, each with their own unique heritage. They had also joined the Xixia Yipintang, constantly antagonizing the righteous inhabitants of the Central Plains martial arts world and were the foremost enemies of the Beggars' Sect.

There had been news before that these four evil men intended to enter Dali to stir up trouble. I had sent a letter to the gang leader Qiao Feng to try to stop them outside Dali, but it seems that they avoided them.

Why didn't they fight it off?

Ma Dayuan, however, had great confidence in Qiao Feng. Although these four evil men were powerful, they might not be Qiao Feng's match. Moreover, the Beggars' Sect still had many disciples. If they really met, they would definitely not let them off easily. Just looking at the fact that they had no injuries on their bodies, it was clear that they had never experienced a major battle.

As one of the most skilled fighters in Xixia Yipintang, information about the four evil men had already been placed on Ma Dayuan's desk. The others were fine, but the notorious Duan Yanqing was a problem. Born into the Duan family of Dali, he was a genuine member of the royal family. His martial arts were proficient in both good and evil, and he was no match for him.

Just when he was full of doubts, he heard Duan Yanqing say, "It's not that he didn't go far, but that he didn't leave at all. Or, he didn't expect someone to come here so late at night, so he didn't have time to leave."

Just as Duan Yanqing finished speaking, a big tree not far away suddenly shook, and a figure flew out like lightning, landing directly on another big tree, then suddenly bounced out, rolling to the ground, without stopping at all, the figure suddenly rushed forward.

"Are you competing in lightness skills? Hehe, I, Yun Zhonghe, have been roaming the martial arts world for so many years and have never lost." As he said that, he suddenly rushed out. His steps were very big, and he disappeared like a light smoke and flew into the darkness. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with him.

Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan were quite confident in Yun Zhonghe's lightness skills, but they did not think highly of his martial arts skills, so they followed him closely.

Ma Dayuan fled frantically, knowing that his martial arts skills would be superior to any single opponent besides Duan Yanqing. He would be defeated against two, and facing three simultaneously would only lead to his downfall. Ma Dayuan had no confidence in his own survival if he faced Duan Yanqing head-on; the most likely outcome was that he would be captured alive.

It's just that he overestimated his own lightness skill, or underestimated the consumption of his internal energy and physical strength from running all the way. Even in his prime, Ma Dayuan was no match for Yun Zhonghe in lightness skill, not to mention that his condition was not good to begin with. After running for more than ten miles, he gradually slowed down and was caught up by Yun Zhonghe.

Ma Dayuan knew that if he continued like this, he would certainly not be able to escape. The only way was to unexpectedly defeat Yun Zhonghe, who had the best lightness skills, and then escape and hide in one go. He turned around and went around a big tree, and stopped moving forward. Instead, he turned around and passed by Yun Zhonghe, who couldn't stop. He suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed Yun Zhonghe's throat with a claw. It was Ma Dayuan's famous throat-locking skill.

Yun Zhonghe did not stop moving, his body suddenly leaned back, and turned into a flat plank bridge and moved sideways. He let out a strange cry and swung out with his iron claws and steel rod, but because of the fast speed, he did not even touch the corner of Ma Dayuan's clothes.

Ma Dayuan turned around, reached into his arms and suddenly threw something out, shouting, "Watch out for the hidden weapon!"

In the darkness, Yun Zhonghe heard the sound of wind, and he swung his iron claws and steel staff tightly, knocking a flint away with a clang. Ma Dayuan had already arrived nearby, and with one hand he locked Yun Zhonghe's throat and grabbed his hand, while with the other hand he used a powerful Vajra Palm to beat Yun Zhonghe back step by step.

Ma Dayuan was a little anxious while running away. He had no weapon on him. He knew that if he was left at a distance from Yun Zhonghe, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage. So he approached Yun Zhonghe madly with his bare hands, for a while putting him in danger. He was left with several scars on his body because he was not careful enough.

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a voice rang out: "I hide during the day and come out at night, choosing to walk in deserted places when there are no people. I've walked the night roads so much that I actually ran into a ghost (a derogatory term used by the four evil men to refer to the Song Dynasty's spies). What a ghost!"

Duan Yanqing, using his staff as a means of transport, was extremely fast. Seeing Yun Zhonghe at a disadvantage, he did not rush forward. Instead, he took a quick look and said, "This is not a ghost, but a great gift. I never thought I would encounter such an important figure in the middle of the night in the wilderness. It is truly a gift from heaven. Don't you think so, Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect!"

"Second brother, third brother, come together and catch him alive!" Duan Yanqing gave the order, and Ye Erniang and Yue Lao San, who had been eager to try, rushed forward. When Ma Dayuan heard Duan Yanqing's last three words, he immediately felt relieved, knowing that he had saved his life for the time being, but it was hard to say how long he could save his life. He hoped it could last more than six days, otherwise it would be somewhat unprofitable.

Was his encounter with these four evil men pure chance, or was it the result of six days of bad luck? What would have happened if he hadn't escaped?

But there are no ifs in this world. Ma Dayuan was struggling to deal with the siege of three first-rate masters while carefully guarding against the possible sneak attack from the great master Duan Yanqing. In a moment, he was beaten to the ground, spitting blood.

Duan Yanqing saw that although Ma Dayuan's moves were exquisite and he looked like a madman, he was not strong enough. He was suspicious and worried that Ma Dayuan was cheating and plotting against him, so he was cautious and on guard everywhere. But in the blink of an eye, he saw Ma Dayuan being beaten to the ground and vomiting blood and was captured. Only then did he react.

I am exhausted from traveling all night, but Ma Dayuan doesn't seem to be in top shape either, and his condition is even worse than mine.

This is truly a windfall. You know, General Helian is worried about how to take down the Beggars' Sect. If I offer the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect to him, I might be able to exchange it for a lot of benefits. If I work harder, it might be possible to get the full support of the Xixia Yipintang and regain the throne of Dali.
