The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 423: What is the crime of colliding with me? (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Master Chen has returned to the city!"

"Go and report it!"

"."

The spies near the city gates quickly passed on the news that Chen Ping'an had returned to the city. Chen Ping'an's specially made car frame was too recognizable, and it was hard for them, who specialized in this business, not to recognize it.

In less than half a minute, the news of Chen Ping'an's return to the city spread wildly throughout Weishui County, with the city gate as the source.

"Is Mang Dao back?"

"Already in town?"

"He's back! I thought he wasn't going to come back!"

"You were just talking about it, and now you're back! What a coincidence."

"Let's go and see together!"

"."

In Weishui County, many important people received the news of Chen Ping'an's return to the city at the first opportunity.

With Chen Ping'an's current status, his every move is already under close scrutiny, and in recent days he has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion due to the challenge from the northern swordsman Guan Dongxiang.

He did not deliberately hide his tracks when he returned to the city this time, so naturally everyone knew about his return at the first time.

Speaking of which, the last time he came back from supporting the Sanqi Mountain Ten Thousand Demons Encirclement, it was the Weishui Pacification Division Commander Fan Zhengheng who personally welcomed him with his subordinates. But this time when he returned to the city, he was not treated like before. Not to mention Fan Zhengheng personally welcoming him, even the deputy commanders under him did not come out to greet him.

As early as twenty miles outside the city, a fast rider returned to the city to deliver the news. It is impossible to say that the Weishui Pacification Office did not know about his return.

Although his previous return had the added honor of returning in triumph, the gap between this time and this time should not be so huge.

"People's hearts are so fickle!" Inside the car frame, Chen Pingan shook his head and sighed.

The Weishui Zhenfu Division is located in the inner city of Weishui. It takes a long time to drive in from the city gate, so it takes a long time. The county city is very prosperous, and naturally there are crowds of people coming and going.

However, with so many guards around, naturally no one would be so blind as to block the way. The crowd gave way one after another, with awe and curiosity on their faces.

As the carriage slowly moved, more and more people knew the news that Chen Ping'an had returned to the city.

The long street was filled with people, and the children were extremely excited, holding their parents' hands and looking in the direction of the bicycles, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. In the buildings along the street, windows were pushed open, and figures peeked out, with curiosity and thought on their faces.

Kick, kick, kick~
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, several majestic horses pulled the tall, pitch-black carriage frame and moved slowly forward.

A swordsman in black with an ancient sword case on his back appeared at the end of the long street.

The elite soldiers of the Zhenfu Division who were guarding the carriage soon discovered the person blocking the road. Several elite soldiers who cleared the way shouted loudly with sabers in hand.

"Master, please get out of the way!"

The black-shirted swordsman stood quietly like a sculpture, unmoved.

"You bold lunatic, if you don't give way, you will be severely punished according to the law!" The elite officers of the Pacification Division stared at the swordsman in front of him with sharp eyes.

They were responsible for clearing the way, so how could they allow anyone to crash into the carriage? Although the swordsman in front of them was unusual, it was their duty and they had no choice but to do it.

Seeing that the swordsman in front of them remained unmoved, several elite soldiers from the Pacification Bureau drew their swords and prepared to drive him away by force.

The carriage of the Zhenfu Division represented the symbol of the high-level officials of the Zhenfu Division, and according to the law, they had the right of priority. Anyone who dared to block the carriage would be regarded as a provocation to the Zhenfu Division and would be severely punished.

However, as soon as they pulled out the knives in their hands, the blades began to tremble wildly and uncontrollably, as if being pulled by an invisible force and almost falling out of their hands.

"What's going on!?" Several people were shocked and their faces changed drastically.

The commotion here soon attracted the attention of the guards behind.

"Who is blocking the road?!"

The black-shirted swordsman's gaze penetrated the noise and chaos and stared directly at the approaching car frame.

"Chen Ping'an, I heard that you are an excellent swordsman and are known as the Rough Sword. Today, Guan invites you to a fight. Do you dare to fight?"

The voice was cold and sharp, with the unique edge of a swordsman, like a thunder exploding on the long street.

At these words, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Long Street invites you to fight!"

"It's the Northern Swordsman Guan Dongxiang!"

Soon someone recognized the identity of the black-shirted swordsman. They were just guessing at first, but as the black-shirted swordsman invited them to fight, their identity was soon confirmed.

"How dare you! How dare you address the Lord by his name!"

A nine-foot-tall man with a strong physique and a sturdy build shouted loudly, his voice rolling like thunder.

Guan Dongxiang's expression was stern and unchanged.

"Chen Ping'an, do you dare to fight with Guan?" His voice was cold, and under the stimulation of true energy, it swept around again.

"Guan Dongxiang, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Lord!" The burly man frowned, his eyes wide open, as if they could spit out fire. He held a spear in his hand, the tip of the spear pointed directly at Guan Dongxiang, with a fierce momentum, as if he was ready to launch a thunderous attack at any time.

Guan Dongxiang ignored the burly man and fixed his eyes on the frame of the car: "Chen Ping'an, if you accept the challenge, you can choose the time and place. If you don't fight, Guan will turn around and leave, and will not entangle. This matter ends here! Guan, I just want an answer from you!"

Guan Dongxiang's voice echoed along the long street, falling on everyone like a heavy hammer.

In a private room on the east side of the long street, Feng Chengxiu and Wu Dazhen stood by the window, watching the situation on the long street.

Feng Chengxiu had an amused look on his face, his eyes flickering with anticipation and interest in what was to come.

"There's something good to watch."

"It all depends on how Chen Pingan responds! Guan Dongxiang has invited him to a fight. Will he fight? Or not?!" Wu Dazhen looked excited, as if he was watching a good show. "Chen Pingan has just returned to the city, and Guan Dongxiang has already done this. It's obvious that he doesn't intend to give him time to buffer. He is forcing him to make a decision! It doesn't matter whether Chen Pingan fights or not!"

"Indeed. However, I still hope that Chen Ping'an just got carried away and agreed directly. Let Guan Dongxiang teach him a lesson! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are gifted." Wu Dazhen sneered with disdain on his face.

Feng Chengxiu smiled, his eyes still fixed on the long street. He also hoped that Chen Pingan would accept the challenge.

The two stood quietly, waiting for Chen Ping'an's response.

In addition to Feng Chengxiu and Wu Dazhen, many spies from various forces gathered on both sides of the long street. They received the news and stopped here early. Everyone was looking forward to Chen Ping'an's response.

Chen Pingan knocked lightly on the frame, and the burly man with a furious face and wide eyes immediately stopped and put down his spear. He looked at the frame with awe and bowed.

"Guan Dongxiang, do you know what crime you have committed by bumping into me?" Chen Ping'an's voice was calm, coming through the curtain of the carriage and echoing in the venue.

"Chen Ping'an, you don't need to talk nonsense. I am here today and I just want your answer." Guan Dongxiang looked stern, staring straight at the frame. "If you accept the challenge, I will fight. If you don't, I will leave immediately!"

"Bold Guan Dongxiang! You rammed the frame and violated the laws of Daqian. You spoke provocatively, which is an even greater crime!" The master humiliated the minister and wanted him to die. Seeing Guan Dongxiang's rude and rebellious words, the burly man's hair and beard stood on end, and he shouted loudly like an angry lion.

If it was before this Weishui patrol, he might not be so loyal to Chen Pingan. But when he was clearing out the remnants of Tianlian, Chen Pingan saved his life from Qianye Phantom. How could he forget the life-saving grace?

Seeing that the adults did not stop him, he raised his arms and shouted angrily: "Come here, take down this bold lunatic!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious light flashed between his brows and he shook the spear in his hand. Then he went straight for Guan Dongxiang's vital point like a dragon emerging from the sea.

"Humph!" Guan Dongxiang snorted coldly. "How can a grain of rice shine?"

He did not use force in his challenge, but that did not mean he had a good temper. A mysterious light flashed between his eyebrows, and a slender and thick broadsword flew out from the ancient knife box behind him. With a flash of cold light, the broadsword fell into his hand.

At the same time, the burly man's spear was in front of him. Although Guan Dongxiang was famous for his swordsmanship, it didn't mean that his body skills were weak. He dodged the attack easily with a flash of his body. While dodging, he swung the broadsword in his hand, and a cold light cut through the sky and went straight to the burly man.

hum~ hum~ hum~
The mysterious light between his eyebrows flashed to the extreme, and the true energy in his body surged, trying to forcibly avoid the cold light. But the speed of the cold light was far beyond his imagination, and it was in front of him in an instant.

"Not good!" The burly man's face changed drastically. He never expected that when he took the initiative, he would not be able to take even one move from the opponent.

The gap is so huge that it’s disappointing!
Just when he was completely desperate, a blade light with a grayish-white color mixed with a faint blue hue lit up, and the cold light turned into dots and dissipated.

"What?" Guan Dongxiang was shocked. Although his previous strike was hasty, he had done his best, but it was broken so easily.

Whoosh!
A figure flew out from the frame like lightning, and with a flash of green light, it was in front of Guan Dongxiang in just a moment.

The body is like a swimming dragon, agile and swift, with the movements of a swimming dragon!

"So fast."

Guan Dongxiang looked shocked, but he could not think too much at this moment. His inner energy surged, the machete in his hand flashed with cold light, and he swung it again.

Since he was called the Northern Swordsman, his sword skills were perfect, and the changes were beyond the imagination of outsiders. Although Chen Ping'an's body movements far exceeded his expectations, when he swung the sword, he was already focused and had no other thoughts.

One knife! Only one knife! At this moment, it seemed that his world was only the knife in his hand. All his thoughts, emotions, and strength were concentrated in this knife.

Even if it was a fake grandmaster in front of him, he had the strength to fight head-on with this sword!
Just as Guan Dongxiang swung his sword, he heard an indifferent voice ringing softly in the room.

"Soul-breaking sword!"

Before he finished speaking, true energy surged wildly, sweeping around with unrivaled power.

Swish!
A grayish-blue blade light, carrying a heart-pounding chill, instantly cut through the sky and slashed straight towards Guan Dongxiang.

"This knife!" Guan Dongxiang's expression seemed to be frozen, and it kept getting bigger in front of the knife light.

boom!
A deafening roar exploded in the air, as if the heaven and earth were shaking at this moment.

Guan Dongxiang's body was blown away like a kite with a broken string. He drew a long parabola in the air and slammed hard on the ground in the distance, raising dust. But his body did not stop there, but like a stone hit hard, dragged a long mark on the ground.

Dust and gravel flew everywhere, Guan Dongxiang's body tumbled and struggled in the midst, but he could not stop. Blood stained his clothes and the ground red.

After the loud noise, the world was briefly silent.

When Guan Dongxiang's body finally stopped, his whole body was already covered in blood and tatters. His face had lost its sternness, and his eyes were full of shock and unwillingness. He struggled to get up, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

After the loud noise, there was a short silence. After the short silence, bursts of exclamations were heard on the long street.

"Kanto Xiang lost?"

"One move! Just one move!"

"This"

"How could this happen!" Feng Chengxiu's voice trembled, his expression was completely frozen, his face was full of astonishment and disbelief. His eyes were flashing with deep horror, the scene in front of him was beyond his cognition.

"No, impossible!" Wu Dazhen, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but exclaimed, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide open, his face full of horror. His perception of Chen Pingan was completely overturned.

On the long street, Chen Pingan stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were calm as he looked at the black-shirted swordsman lying in the dust in the distance.

"Guan Dongxiang collides with this envoy, violently resists arrest, defies Daqian's laws, and is imprisoned in the dungeon to await his fate."

"Yes!" The elite soldiers of the Pacification Division responded loudly with respect on their faces. They rushed up like wolves and tigers and grabbed Guan Dongxiang tightly. The Northern Swordsman, who was so arrogant just now, was like a dead dog at this time, covered in blood and scars.

Chen Pingan raised his head slightly, his eyes penetrating the bustling crowd and looking towards the east side of the long street. His eyes were as calm as water, but seemed to contain deep power that could see into people's hearts and captivate them.

Feng Chengxiu had not yet recovered from the shocking scene, and when he saw Chen Pingan looking at him from afar, his heart instinctively jumped. He forced a smile and wanted to respond, but he saw that Chen Pingan had retracted his gaze and walked into the frame.

"This reckless knife..." Feng Chengxiu's face was full of solemnity. Before he could have any other thoughts, a loud voice like a bell rang out from the long street below.

"The remnant of the Tianlian Sect, Qianye Phantom Hand, wreaked havoc on Weishui and killed innocent people. He has been killed by you with a palm and a knife. Here is his head. I hereby inform all parties to set the record straight!"

Feng Chengxiu's gaze suddenly fell down, and he saw that the burly man was holding a head high in his hand. The face of the head was hideous and distorted, but his previous appearance could be vaguely recognized.

Feng Chengxiu was stunned and his heart was broken.

The long street was silent.
