Chapter 21: Sword Shadow Dancing

  Another Japanese samurai, without knowing the good or bad, held a sword and stabbed towards Yuan Zhen's back. Yuan Zhen had already seen through his intention, took a small step to dodge his fatal sword, then came a counterattack with a horseback sword, and the plum blossom sword pierced into the heart of the Japanese samurai who was pouncing forward, he also returned to Japan without hesitation.

  Two are dead, and two remain. The other two Japanese samurai, seeing their two companions die in battle, charge forward with swords drawn, their shadows dancing wildly, ferocity beyond the ordinary, the two Japanese samurai seem to be playing with their lives.

  Suddenly, the entrance of the alley was noisy with people's voices, and then gunfire broke out.

  A small group of devils shouted and surrounded Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin.

  "Up the wall! Quick march!" Yuan Yi struck back the Japanese warrior who was fighting with him, and flew up onto the wall. He wasn't worried about Yuan Xin, as his lightness kung fu was more skilled than his, and climbing such a wall should be easy for him.

  As expected, Yuan Xin made a clever move with his Plum Blossom Sword, driving away the Japanese samurai who had been entwining him, and with a swish, he leapt over the wall.

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin had just climbed over the wall when the machine guns of the Japanese search party went off, causing the earth on top of the wall to fall down in profusion.

  Two Japanese samurai, seeing their reinforcements arrive, eager for revenge, also flew onto the wall, biting Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin, chasing after them.

  "Second Brother, two Japanese warriors are catching up from behind." said Yuan Xin while running.

  "I've had enough. Younger brother, let's lead these two ignorant Japanese warriors out of the city and send them back to their hometown together," said Yuan Yi.

  "Alright, let's do it. Second Brother, tell me, if I master our Biyuan Temple's temple-destroying martial art - the Floating Infinity Fist, can't I take down these two Japanese warriors by myself and send them back home?" Yuan Xin said.

  "Haha, Fifth Brother, you also want to learn the Floating Extreme Fist? Let me tell you, this fist's manual is abstruse and difficult to understand. Even our master, who has practiced for less than three-tenths, doesn't have a thorough understanding of it. Without a deep understanding and eternal perseverance, one cannot master it. Among us eight brothers, Xin Yuan's comprehension is the highest, followed by Geng Yuan's. I think only these two can master such a superior martial art. Cultivating martial arts should be tailored to each individual, do you understand?" said Yuan Yi.

  "Nonsense! I don't think so. Among our eight fellow disciples, whoever learns the Floating Extreme Fist can master it well, didn't you say that even Master has only just barely mastered less than three-tenths of it? Then me, can't I even master one-tenth of it?" Yuan Xin said.

  Yuan Yi turned his head to look back, and the two Japanese samurai were left far behind by Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin, indicating that the lightness skills of those two people were absolutely not up to par. Yuan Yi shouted at Yuan Xin: "Fifth younger brother, let's stop first and fight them for a while before leaving."

  "Isn't it to lure them out of the city and annihilate them?" Yuan Xin didn't understand Yuan Yi's intention.

  "Yes, we are going to lure these two Japanese warriors out of the city and eliminate them. There are many devils in the city, and it's hard to say when a group of devils will pop up, those little devils, and start firing randomly, which is very unfavorable for us. So, we need to lure them out of the city and have a good fight with these two bastards." Yuan Yi said.

  "Well, why stop and fight them then?" Yuan Xin asked with a blink of his eyes.

  "Haha, my fifth brother, don't you have a brain? You lure them into the trap without letting them smell the bait. How can they fall for it? These Japanese warriors are cunning, we've already clashed with them earlier and they know their martial arts skills are inferior to ours. They dare to chase us because they want to avenge their two dead companions and also because there are many of their people in the city, which gives them courage! Once we leave the city, they won't dare to pursue us." said Yuan Yi.

  "Ah, I see. So it's still Second Brother's wisdom that prevails. Your meaning is, we stop and fight them again, leaving some openings for them to gain confidence, so they can pursue us boldly and lead them out of the city. Hmm, this plan is excellent." Yuan Xin said.

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin hid at the entrance of an alley. Two Japanese samurai cautiously approached the entrance, coordinating with each other, and rushed out of the alley.

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin burst out together. The four of them separately sought their opponents and clashed in a fierce battle.

  These two Japanese samurai were far superior in martial arts to the two men who had died, and it was impossible for Genji and Genzo to defeat them in a short time.

  Yuan Xin knew it was impossible to win quickly, so he thought of selling a flaw to the Japanese samurai. When the Japanese samurai kicked him with one foot, Yuan Xin deliberately dodged and his buttocks grazed the tip of the samurai's foot. Yuan Xin then rolled on the ground, pretending to have hurt his leg, and shouted to Yuan Yi: "Second brother, my leg is injured! Let's go quickly!" As he spoke, he sprang onto the roof of a nearby house. Yuan Xin's movement was too elegant, without any sign of injury.

  Motosei saw the fake opening of Gen Shin during the fight with another Japanese warrior. Knowing that this place is not suitable for a prolonged battle, he made a feint and retreated to the rooftop.

  Just as Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin floated onto the rooftop, a burst of bullets flew past their feet. Yuan Yi, who was on top of the house, had to jump up high to avoid the bullets. The two people didn't dare stay on the roof any longer, so they leaped off the rooftop and darted into an alleyway.

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin were running in the alley, when a group of people flashed by in front of them. They were security guards, who had already blocked off the entrance to the alley.

  "Kill anyone who has seen the Biyuan Temple! If you don't know what the Biyuan Temple looks like, then kill anyone who is bald!" The leader, Hu San Shui, yelled at the entrance of the alley.

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin instinctively touched their heads, hastily jumping into a courtyard from the alley. Then they jumped from this courtyard to another one, running through houses and over roofs, wherever the houses were dense, they would drill in that direction. After a frantic run, how could those two Japanese samurai catch up with Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin? Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin had already lost track of the two Japanese samurai.

  "Hey! Damn it, never used any strategy before, and now that I've used one, it's fallen through. What about those two Japanese warriors? Why didn't they listen to our orders? They just followed us and ran off somewhere, who knows where. It's really infuriating." Yuan Yi was filled with regret.

  "Why else would they be called devils! The Japanese are truly devilish. For so many years, the Japanese have been entrenched in Northeast China, plotting how to destroy China. If all Chinese people were like us, killing devils on sight, the Japanese wouldn't last a day. It's because there are too many traitors that China has become what it is today." Yuan Xin said with emotion.

  "Fifth brother, what you said is indeed reasonable. However, after all, the vast majority of Chinese people still have backbone and are unwilling to be slaves of a defeated country. I heard that the Eighth Route Army has already opened up behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army is the true anti-Japanese force." Yuan Yi said.

  "We must find the Eighth Route Army and join their ranks to fight against Japan," Yuan Xin said.

  "Right! I'll definitely join." Yuan Yi said firmly.

  Yuan Yi took a look around the place where the two people were, and found a place of the devils. He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "This beehive, today we're going to stir it up."
