On the main street of Wu’an County, many mbers of the Black Water Gang were holding torches, turning night into day, completely surrounding Chen Tang’s residence.
"Chen Tang, weren’t you quite fixated on ?"
Xiao Xun raised his voice and said, "Now, I’m here."
"You shouldn’t have co."
Chen Tang’s voice rang out.
According to the plan, Chen Tang wasn’t going to pay any attention to him.
But upon hearing Xiao Xun’s words, so mories from his past life suddenly surfaced, and he couldn’t help but reply.
"I shouldn’t have co?"
Xiao Xun laughed, seemingly recalling sothing, and casually asked, "What, are you going to show off a set of Tiger Subduing Fist in front of ? If you co out now, I will still give you a fair chance to duel with , how about that?"
He knew that Chen Tang was at most Eighth Grade.
While he was Seventh Grade.
It was precisely because he was confident in defeating Chen Tang that he said this.
Chen Tang replied, "There will be a battle between us, but not now."
"Chen Tang, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t seize it."
Xiao Xun shook his head and waved his hand to order, "Except for the Eldest Princess of Qian Country, kill everyone else without rcy!"
With hundreds of Black Water Gang mbers clad in armor, half of whom had military backgrounds, this force could even gain the upper hand against a thousand people!
Let alone against a dozen Vermilion Bird Guards.
"At your command!"
The mbers of the Black Water Gang responded loudly.
Bang!
Two people kicked open the door of the courtyard, the massive door collapsed with a crash, falling heavily to the ground.
The Black Water Gang sward in.
A group also leaped over the high walls from all directions into the yard.
Boom!
A sudden loud explosion!
The two doors that had just been broken down suddenly exploded, and several Black Water Gang mbers stepping on it were instantly blown apart, flesh and blood flying everywhere!
The door shattered, and countless broken pieces of wood flew out like arrows shot from strong bows and crossbows, attacking indiscriminately.
With armor protection, much of the damage could be deflected.
But if the arrows struck unprotected vital areas, the broken wood erupting from the black gunpowder explosion was lethal!
A Black Water Gang guard was pierced through the head by a conical piece of wood and fell dead.
Another was sent flying by a large piece of wood and coughed up blood.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xun’s face remained expressionless and unmoved.
To take this residence, casualties were inevitable.
Firearms on the Divine Land Continent were world-famous. The Great Xia Dynasty originally had many ingenious craftsn. Later, when the Divine Land split into North and South, so craftsn stayed in the Northern Divine Continent, while others went South with the Great Xia.
This eventually ford the structure of the Vermilion Bird Bureau in the North and Thunder Hall in the South.
Xiao Xun had heard about these things a long ti ago, but today, he finally witnessed the true power of firearms!
Fortunately, these things were limited in number and extrely difficult to produce.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of sharp sounds of objects piercing the air rang out.
Several crossbow arrows were shot from behind the windows of rooms inside.
A dozen Black Water Gang mbers fell in succession!
Either shot in the forehead or the throat, both were vital spots unprotected by armor.
Once inside the courtyard, the distance between both sides was too close.
At this range, the strength of the crossbow arrows was overwhelming, making it impossible to block or dodge!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Vermilion Bird Crossbows fired in turns.
Clang!
Splatter!
The Black Water Gang mbers reacted quickly, so turning their long sabers vertically in front of them to block the vital spots on their throats and brows.
Others simply dragged the corpses from the ground in front of them as a shield.
In this way, ordinary crossbow arrows beca useless.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Several more arrows, sparkling with sparks, shot out from the room. The sound was noticeably different.
If one looked closely, one would notice that these crossbow arrows had a section resembling a ssage tube attached to them, with fuses burning fiercely.
Heaven-Shaking Arrows!
These were the sa arrows used earlier on the long street to help Cai Yin and others block the garrison troops.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Heaven-Shaking Arrows fell into the crowd and quickly exploded, causing considerable chaos among the Black Water Gang mbers who had broken into the yard.
So people were too close and had part of their arms blown off, the stumps were bloody and mangled.
Others were less fortunate, having half their heads blown away, dying on the spot!
In just this short mont, dozens of brothers were killed or injured.
Du Yinfeng subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun’s face remained expressionless and unmoved, and he calmly said, "The quantity of these Heaven-Shaking Arrows is limited. They won’t last more than a few rounds."
In fact, Xiao Xun was correct.
After just two rounds, the Vermilion Bird Guards had run out of Heaven-Shaking Arrows.
Nurous Black Water Gang mbers had already approached several residences!
Bam!
The silhouettes of a dozen Vermilion Bird Guards burst out through the windows.
What followed was the real test.
Close combat, hand-to-hand fighting, fraught with danger.
Even the slightest mistake would lead to death by a flurry of sabers!
No matter whether one was Eighth Grade, Seventh Grade, or Sixth Grade, without having cultivated an Inner Core, without opening the Eight Extraordinary ridians, and without Inner Qi for protection, they were just flesh and blood.
Under a barrage of blades, anyone would die!
Chen Tang, ng Liangyu, i Yingxue, and Qingmu all rushed out from the rooms.
As for Zhiwei, i Nianzhi, and i Jixian, they hid in the cellar.
As soon as Chen Tang returned, he had already sent Thunder Leopard and Xiao Huang away in advance.
Xiao Huang, clueless, had no idea what was happening.
When Thunder Leopard heard Chen Tang ntion imminent danger, without hesitation, and without needing persuasion from Chen Tang, it picked up Xiao Huang with its mouth, turned around, and ran out of sight.
Judging by its speed, it seed even faster than usual.
"Kill!"
The Black Water Gang erupted in a roar of anger, swarming forward.
Chen Tang gripped his long blade tightly, rging with it as one, and directly charged into the crowd, sending one of the Black Water Gang mbers flying with a collision!
As the person fell to the ground, the long blade in his hand had been cleanly cut in half, and a huge bloody mark appeared on his face, almost splitting him in two with a single strike from Chen Tang!
"Good blade!"
Chen Tang praised with admiration.
With this blade’s assistance, he was sure to kill a few more today!
Facing the Black Water Gang from all directions, Chen Tang remained calm.
The three sword skills taught by the Mountain Guest could only unleash their greatest power in such a situation!
Practicing blade skills against the air made it difficult to cultivate the three sword skills to the ’divine’ level.
Only through the grind of life and death and bloody battles could one comprehend the true intent and divine charm in the blade skills!
This is because the three moves were created on the battlefield when surrounded by countless enemies.
Simplifying the complex, peeling away the false, and preserving the truth resulted in these three refined moves.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Chen Tang swung his blade left and right among the crowd, like a general galloping on horseback during the South and North Wars, revealing an unrivaled edge. Despite the Black Water Gang’s numbers, no one could stop him for a mont!
Whoosh!
Yan Qi gathered her inner qi, leaped over the crowd, and with her Phoenix Beak Saber, charged towards Xiao Xun!
"Hmph!"
Du Yinfeng’s eyes brightened, both hands waving the blade, casting a shadow of black light over Yan Qi.
The Torrential Black Water of the Black Water Blade Technique!
The Black Water Blade Technique is the most superior technique in the Black Water Country, and only those who achieve great rits are qualified to learn even one or half a move.
Even if it’s just one or half a move, it is sufficient for a lifeti.
Rumor has it, the Black Water Blade Technique was created by the Cold Domain Demon Saber.
Among the Seven Cold Domain Countries, every country possesses different blade skills, all originating from the Cold Domain Demon Saber.
In the Extre North Cold Domain, this person is revered as the Blade Emperor!
Yan Qi slightly frowned, unable to dodge in mid-air, she could only reverse her grip on the Phoenix Beak Saber to block Du Yinfeng’s strike.
Clang!
The two blades clashed.
The Phoenix Beak Saber, after all, was just a dagger.
Moreover, Yan Qi, in mid-air, had nowhere to exert force.
Even though she was Fourth Grade, she was forced back by a single strike from the Fifth Grade Du Yinfeng!
As soon as Yan Qi landed, a group of Black Water Gang mbers surrounded her.
She reacted quickly, just touching the ground with her toes before she darted out again, her body technique agile and speedy!
Du Yinfeng, although he forced Yan Qi back with one strike, felt a faint numbness in his hands gripping the blade.
Seeing Yan Qi charging at Xiao Xun, he hurriedly moved his blade to cut her down.
But this strike was already too slow.
Suddenly!
Behind Xiao Xun, a streak of black light flashed, like a waterfall descending.
In Yan Qi’s ear, it was as if she heard the roar of rushing rivers.
Also a move of Torrential Black Water, the strike of this person was clearly stronger than Du Yinfeng!
Yan Qi’s expression changed dramatically, she quickly halted her movent, reversed her grip on the Phoenix Beak Saber, and blocked in front of her.
Clang!
Yan Qi hastily defended, letting out a muffled groan, retreating continuously, almost unable to hold onto the Phoenix Beak Saber.
Such strong Inner Power!
There’s a master!
Very likely above Fourth Grade!
Yan Qi looked behind Xiao Xun.
A middle-aged man stood behind Xiao Xun, looking unremarkable, dressed the sa as the other guards.
From start to finish, Xiao Xun remained calm and composed, completely motionless.
Because he knew that with just a few Vermilion Bird Guards, they couldn’t stir up any storm, nor harm him!
The Vermilion Bird Guards were not skilled at confronting others head-on.
They were more adept at using bows, crossbows, firearms, or assassination thods to achieve desired outcos.
Yan Qi, having failed twice, soon found herself besieged by Du Yinfeng and others, unable to extricate herself.
The other Vermilion Bird Guards were also in a perilous situation, frequently in danger.
Among them, ng Liangyu and i Yingxue’s combat strength was relatively weaker.
But with Qingmu maneuvering around them, they could still hold on.
After all, the Black Water Gang’s orders were to capture the Eldest Princess of Qian alive, so they often held back when dealing with Qingmu.
But in this situation, the group couldn’t hold on for long!
...
County Governor’s Mansion.
Almost simultaneously, when the Black Water Gang surrounded Chen Tang’s residence, Huo Zinan led the Huo family’s elite troops into the County Governnt Office.
Han Lang, leading a group of governntal officials, had long been waiting.
"My people have been watching him, Li Yan is inside."
Han Lang stepped forward and said.
"Is he alone?"
Huo Zinan suddenly asked.
Han Lang replied, "Just one."
Huo Zinan frowned, a vague feeling creeping in.
But soon, he regained his cold deanor, waving his hand and saying, "Go, et him!"
Amid the crowd’s gathering, Huo Zinan quickly arrived outside the main hall and looked at Li Yan sitting inside, chuckling lightly, "Commander, staying up so late, waiting for us to arrive?"
"Waited long enough."
Li Yan remained calm, his expression showing no panic and no weapons beside him.
"Li Yan, let’s not waste words between us."
Huo Zinan waved his hand, "Take him down!"
Imdiately, several of the Huo family’s attendants rushed out, dividing into two sides, charging at Li Yan in front.
Just as they reached Li Yan, pulling out ropes to bind him, a sudden change occurred!
Li Yan suddenly made his move, his hands slapping around continuously several tis.
The surrounding Huo family guards were all sent flying, falling to the ground, spitting blood with vacant eyes, their chests visibly caving in, an alarming sight!
