Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 162: Murderous Intentions

The snow fell lightly, mixed with sparks.

The sounds of fighting were deafening in the palace, but no one knew what was going on inside… If two martial arts masters were fighting there, ordinary masters would be killed by the aftermath if they got close. At best, they would stay far away and stand on high ground to look inside with binoculars, but the sky was full of flames and it was all red, and not even a single figure could be seen.

Until the fighting stopped, in the raging flames, the snowflakes in the sky were melted into water droplets by the high temperature before they got close. From time to time, houses collapsed because of the flames, making dull bangs and popping sparks.

The air was filled with scattered sparks and unknown black matter.

"Hu-hu-"

Wudamu's body was covered in blood and flesh, and he was almost unrecognizable. A long sword pierced through his ribs and went out of his body. Just by standing there for a short while, a pool of black blood had already flowed under him. He was now gasping for breath, and blood was dripping from his mouth and nose.

He looked extremely miserable, as if he was only half alive...but he was the only one still standing.

The spear leader Chen Qiyuan had disheveled hair. A black spear pierced his abdomen and nailed him to a hot boulder... He was actually nailed by his own blood-scale spear. His back was sizzling from being burned by the hot boulder, and there was a faint smell of burning, but his hands hung at his sides, blood dripping from his fingertips, and he didn't even have the strength to pull out the blood-scale spear.

The head of Wugong Mountain, Guiyi Zhenren, who was known as one of the top three martial artists in Central China, was in a miserable state at the moment, lying in a pile of ruins. There was a gully under him that was more than three meters long and several feet deep, and the surface of the gully was covered with blood... Almost half of Guiyi Zhenren's body was sunk into the ground, and there was a palm print on his chest, which was obviously caused by Wudamu's slapping him into the ground and then plowing over.

But Wu Kui is worthy of being Wu Kui, his vitality is very tenacious. Logically, if he is in the sea of ​​fire, he will die of lack of oxygen before being burned to death, or die of poisoning from inhaling some harmful substances. However, the three Wu Kui present actually relied on the turtle breathing method to fight in the sea of ​​fire, and none of them has died yet.

Chen Qiyuan coughed up a mouthful of black blood, speaking intermittently with a mouthful of curse words, "Fuck, fuck... the old monster who has been alive since the previous dynasty, is really extraordinary... Old, I can't do anything to you even if I use 120% of my power... Hey? Your mother... can actually... heal her wounds just by using her power... Fuck your mother..."

Wudamu was still gasping for breath. If you looked closely, you could see that granulations had slowly grown on his wounds... It looked a bit disgusting, but was his recovery ability still that of a human?
It would be fine if he was wearing the Qingying Jade Robe, but now he can achieve a low-end version of "Flesh and Bones" just by relying on his skills. No wonder Chen Qiyuan cursed.

Blood foam oozed from Guiyi Zhenren's mouth and nose, and he said intermittently: "The skills... are just characteristics... Xiao Xitian's internal skills can also remove poison... But, but this, I don't know how many Nine Bells this guy has comprehended. Could it be that he is about to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven?"

Wudamu took a break for a while, regaining some strength, then pulled out the long sword from his ribs with one hand and thrust it into the ground. Then he seemed to be exhausted and staggered.

Just pulling out the sword should have caused blood to gush out, but he only left two blood holes... Perhaps it was the effect of his martial arts technique.

He stood up straight, as tall as a pine tree, with fierce eyes. He glanced at Chen Qiyuan and Guiyi Zhenren, and then mocked: "Luo Shuzhi wanted to test me... but has he found out what he has done?"

Guiyi Zhenren spat out a mouthful of blood foam and smiled coldly, "Today... I and the spear master will kill you, but we can't. We will die here... But we have a plan in mind! It is often said that the secrets of heaven are unpredictable... Now, I have finally figured out your ability! After today... The prince will know that the two martial arts masters can't do anything to you! Our deaths will not be in vain..."

"Come on... what the hell is this, Prince..." Chen Qiyuan sneered, "I... I'm going to make a bet with you on the way to the underworld... the one who will be the emperor must be Zhao Wumian... Oh no, it's the princess..."

"Did you get beaten up and your brain is broken? What kind of emperor is Zhao Wumian? He'd be more like a queen. The Sword Sect and Xiao Xitian are standing behind him, so his background is reasonable..." When he was about to die, Guiyi Zhenren was obviously very open-minded. He laughed at Chen Qiyuan mercilessly and coughed up blood after just two laughs.

"Then you want to tell... a fortune?"

“Let’s just calculate…” Master Guiyi forced himself to raise his forearm, trying to take out the copper coins from his arms.

Wudamu smiled slightly. Although his injuries were serious, he regained his usual elegance and gentleness. He said, "You are still fighting among yourselves at this time... When will you, the Li people, unite as a nation..."

As he spoke, he looked around and found in the firelight the oil-paper umbrella he had brought with him when he entered Taiyuan.

I don’t know what material this oil-paper umbrella is made of. The umbrella surface has been burned clean, but the ribs are not even bent.

Wudamu lightly twisted the scorched earth on the umbrella ribs with his fingers, and said leisurely: "Since I entered the pass, I have heard the name of Zhao Wumian many times. The spear leader speaks so highly of him, so I should consider whether I should kill him on this trip... After all, there are too many outstanding people in the Central Plains, which is not a good thing."

Chen Qiyuan's eyes twitched, "If he were alive, Dali would definitely be in turmoil because of the struggle for the throne..."

"Ahem..." Master Guiyi couldn't help but cough and said angrily, "Spear Master! Are you worthy of being a Central Plains warrior? What good will the civil strife in Dali bring you?"

"I don't care if you have internal strife or not. I'm going to die, so why should I care about your Luo family's kingdom? As long as Zhao Wumian can help the prince to avenge, I will accept it even if the kingdom is destroyed!"

Seeing the two quarreling in front of him again, Wudamu rubbed his temples and smiled again.
"The King of Jin left the military power to Zhao Wumian... Compared with being commanded by Zhao Wumian, these 200,000 Jin troops are more beneficial to our Da Kun if they are leaderless... As for whether there will be internal strife in the Central Plains..."

Wudamu paused, then shook his head slightly.
"Whether it's Luo Shuzhi or Zhao Wumian, it's indeed a problem who will be in power. But firstly, the Gun Master and King Jin both think so highly of Zhao Wumian, so let's give you some face and regard him as our great enemy on the grassland. Secondly, even if Zhao Wumian dies, Luo Chaoyan has already been involved and can't get out, which will still cause civil unrest in the Central Plains... So it's safer to kill Zhao Wumian."

Before he finished speaking, Guiyi Zhenren took out a copper coin, flicked his finger, and the coin instantly turned into a shadow and shot towards Wudamu's neck.

Wudamu paused, tilted his head slightly, and dodged the copper coin while strolling leisurely.

Chen Qiyuan also spat out a mouthful of blood foam, "I created an opportunity for you... but you couldn't even grasp it... you're just a piece of trash..."

Guiyi Zhenren laughed and chanted carefreely: "The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle. How can anything you wish for come true in this world?"

Wudamu smiled slightly, not angry, but looked at the two again, finally revealing his original intention, "I will spare your lives and give you a chance to live... Crown Prince Luo Shuzhi is cruel and unjust in order to protect the throne. He is not worthy of being a king. Instead of serving him, why not join me, Dakun?"

Chen Qiyuan and Guiyi Zhenren were slightly stunned when they heard this. No wonder he was chatting with them here, it turned out he wanted to surrender.

Chen Qiyuan shook his head. "Wudamu, Wudamu, I won't talk about it for now... You... Do you think that the Taoist priest came to kill you for the prince? He came for the Dali Kingdom..."

Guiyi Zhenren smiled faintly and closed his eyes, "Let me be frank... This time when I left the capital, not only did my junior brother read my fortune... I, the old Taoist, also read my fortune..."

Wudamu frowned slightly, looking a little reluctant. It was obvious that he valued the strength of Chen Qiyuan and Guiyi Zhenren very much. How great it would be if the two of them could be used by the grassland?

pity……

Wudamu smiled and said, "The clouds are in the sky and the water is in the bottle. What the Taoist said is absolutely true. How can everything you wish for come true in this world?"

Chen Qiyuan closed his eyes silently and said nothing. He could only say in his heart, Queen Canghua, Queen Canghua, please don’t bring Zhao Wumian to Taiyuan... Isn’t this pushing him into a dangerous situation?
In fact, Lady Canghua was standing on a tall building outside the palace. As a martial arts master, her five senses were extremely strong, and she could vaguely know the battle situation in the palace through the firelight.

She couldn't hear what the three were talking about, but she had a general idea of ​​the situation.

The three people in the mansion were all seriously injured, but Wudamu was in better condition. If she took action at this moment, she might be able to take the opportunity to kill Wudamu?

Goddess Canghua frowned, she couldn't say for sure. In this fight, Chen Qiyuan and Guiyi Zhenren forced Wudamu to reveal many of his cards, but his cards seemed to be endless, all new tricks.

If she acts rashly at this moment, she might still suffer losses.

But Lady Canghua was able to cultivate to the level of martial arts champion, so she is naturally proud and is not afraid of Wudamu. It's just that once she takes action, she will not care about Master Guiyi during the fight... So it is better for her to let Wudamu kill Master Guiyi first and then take action, so as to maximize the benefits. As for the spear champion... whether he is dead or alive, Lady Canghua is not interested.

Why is Wudamu so talkative? Are we going to kill him or not?
However, in his perception, Wudamu walked towards Chen Qiyuan first... It seemed that he wanted to kill him first.

Listening to Wudamu's approaching footsteps, Chen Qiyuan had already become indifferent to life and death, and his mood remained calm.

At this moment, a comet-like figure suddenly crashed into the palace from outside, and the raging flames were knocked out with a hole.

Empress Canghua was slightly stunned. This aura was... Xu Ran?
Why would he come to Taiyuan! ?

Why come now, if not earlier or later?! At least wait until Master Guiyi dies before coming here!
Queen Canghua thought that Xu Ran came here to fight with Wudamu again. Just when she was hesitating whether to roll up her sleeves and join in the fight, Wudamu actually escaped.

From her angle, she could clearly see that after Xu Ran arrived, Wudamu flew up without hesitation and rushed out of the fire.

After rushing out of the palace with the charred umbrella rib in his hand, Wudamu turned his head to look at Queen Canghua who was a hundred feet away. He met her gaze with a cold look.

Queen Canghua was slightly stunned, and felt a chill down her spine... Wudamu knew from the beginning that Queen Canghua was preparing to pick peaches in the dark. He said so much just to quietly recover his strength, but in fact he was showing weakness to the enemy, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and waiting for Queen Canghua to fall into his trap. He must have another trump card...

If he fled now, he would not be sure that he could fight Xu Ran and Queen Canghua alone with his seriously injured body.

In other words, after this guy was severely injured by the gunpowder buried by King Jin, he still had the confidence to fight three martial masters?
Among them, Guiyi Zhenren ranked among the top three, Canghua Niangniang and Qiangkuai ranked among the top ten... This was just because he was seriously injured by the gunpowder explosion, what if he was in perfect condition?

How many Wu Kui can Wudamu kill if he is in good condition? Five?
That’s not right. You are so powerful, why don’t you just go to the capital and kill the emperor?
Oh... There are usually four martial arts masters stationed in the capital: Eunuch Lin, Xu Ran, Chief Constable Su, and Master Guiyi. It seems that Wudamu did not want to kill, but felt that he would not be able to escape from the capital after going to the palace to kill the emperor.

If it weren't for Chief Constable Su and Empress Canghua who tried their best to rescue him, Zhao Wumian would not have been able to escape.

The most fundamental reason is that no matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you cannot fly.

After connecting the bridge of heaven and earth, the internal energy was endless, but the spirit was exhausted and the focus was relaxed. There was no way to kill a thousand or three thousand people. How could I kill ten thousand or thirty thousand people? With extreme mental fatigue, I would be hit by an arrow sooner or later.

It is obviously not worth exchanging his life for the life of the old emperor... After all, even if the emperor died, the Rong people still couldn't break into the interior.

One person cannot conquer the world with force, one still has to rely on the army... Or is Wudamu's strength limited by distance? The closer to the grassland, the stronger he is? Speaking of which, in the seventeen years of Jingzheng, Wudamu has never appeared in the south, such as Jiangnan and Donghai.

These were all Queen Canghua's guesses, and she couldn't say for sure. Seeing Wudamu escape without hesitation, she frowned and looked towards the palace.

Inside the palace, Chen Qi looked at the breathless Xu Ran from afar, his face stunned, "Where did you come from!?"

Xu Ran took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill, stuffed it into Chen Qiyuan's mouth, and said, "After killing Dong Wenzhen and recovering the remaining troops, I was forced by my niece to come to Taiyuan to rescue Zhao Wumian... Unexpectedly, I didn't save Zhao Wumian, but I saved a piece of shit like you."

After the girls met in northern Shanxi, Xu Ran went to kill Dong Wenzhen first. After giving his head to Luo Chaoyan, he stayed by her side to protect her and ensure her safety. But after Luo Chaoyan recaptured the remaining troops in Piantou Pass, she asked him to come to Taiyuan to rescue Zhao Wumian... and at that time, Mu Lier had already left, so Mu Lier didn't know about it.

So this was an unexpected success. Who made Luo Chaoyan so worried about Zhao Wumian?
"I captured Zhao Wumian, and you still want to save me?"

"There is no personal grudge before national justice." Xu Ran realized that Chen Qiyuan's injuries were more serious than he thought, and hurriedly transferred his true energy to him.

"Damn it, you are so righteous, it makes me look like a mean person for capturing Zhao Wumian." Chen Qiyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood and took a few breaths. "Wudamu is seriously injured, why don't you go and kill him?"

"If I go after him, I may not be able to kill him, but you will definitely die. If I save you, the possibility of Chaoyan ascending the throne will be greater."

Chen Qiyuan's eyes widened a little, "When did I become a female emperor?"

"Do you acknowledge this favor? If not, I'm leaving now."

Chen Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, remained silent for a while, and then said: "Fuck you, I'll listen to you, I'm in! I don't want to die if I can live, at least I have to wait until the day I see Luo Shu die, then I can have a clear mind and die without regrets. As for Wudamu... I'll kill him someday."

Xu Ran did not respond. Chen Qiyuan's injuries were too severe. Even if he took the healing medicine, his body was not able to digest the medicine. Xu Ran had to use his true Qi to help him digest it... If he was a little slower, this guy would have died.

Behind Xu Ran, Master Guiyi was even stronger and was relatively less injured. After recovering some strength, he took out a special pill made by Wugong Mountain from his sleeve and swallowed it. Then he took the opportunity to run away.

Unlike Chen Qiyuan, Guiyi Zhenren has always been a member of the Prince's faction. Now that Wudamu has escaped, is he still staying there waiting to be killed by Xu Ran?
He actually had a trump card, ready to give Wudamu a hard blow when he came to kill him...but now it seems it can't be used.

Outside the palace, Lady Canghua saw Master Guiyi escaping, narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, and flew down... She was not sure she could kill Wudamu at the moment, but was she not sure she could kill Master Guiyi?

boom----

A bunch of sword-shaped fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded.

Lady Canghua was slightly stunned and turned her head to look. Isn't this the signal from the Sword Sect?

Earlier, Guan Yunshu and Su Qingqi left the Sword Sect branch.

Su Qingqi glanced towards the palace where the flames were raging. Wudamu had killed Su Qingqi's father and grandfather. Deep down, she wanted Wudamu dead more than anyone else. But she also knew that ordinary martial arts masters were no match for Wudamu, let alone her.
Therefore, after leaving the Sword Sect branch, she looked towards the palace and then looked away, suppressing the hatred in her heart. She raised her sword and flew onto the roof with Guan Yunshu, and flew away in one direction.

Taiyuan City is so big, it’s not easy to find someone.

But Wu Ming was seriously injured, his body was charred, and even with a robe covering his face, he could not move normally. Fortunately, the two women were not without help.

A moment later, a disciple of the Sword Sect jumped onto the roof and raised his hand slightly, "Are you two guests looking for Wu Ming?"

The two women nodded.

The disciple saw this and flew to the west without hesitation.

"Such an incident happened in the palace. We have been investigating the surroundings and found that Wu Ming escaped from the palace. However, his Qinggong skills are very high. Even though he was seriously injured, his speed was still good. We couldn't catch up with him for a while, so we sent someone back to the branch to report the news. His last trace was Ning'an Street in the west of the city. He must have wanted to find a secluded place to heal his injuries. Brothers are searching there."

Jian Zong and Wu Ming had no personal grudges... but the Rong people were openly entering the city, so Jian Zong could not pretend not to see it, so he volunteered to hunt down Wu Ming. If they were not weak enough, they would definitely rush into the palace and hack Wudamu to death.

As soon as the disciple finished speaking, a sword-shaped firework shot straight into the sky.

The disciple's face lit up with joy, "Brothers, we found him!"

Mu Lier and Zhao Wumian, who were on Luoxia Street in the west of the city, also saw the fireworks and were slightly stunned.

Mu Lier was a little surprised. "A special letter tube made by the Sword Sect? How come it is so close to us at this time..."

Zhao Wumian looked back at the unconscious Luo Changshou and was about to say go back to the Jianzong branch to put him down first, but then he remembered that Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu were still at the branch. The burning letter tube showed that the Jianzong had encountered the enemy, and the two women might follow them, so he changed his words:
"Go over there and take a look."

At this moment, Wudamu escaped from the palace and saw the letter box, his brows slightly frowned.

He must recognize the Sword Sect's message tube. What's the meaning of sending out the signal at this moment?
It was some distance away from him, so it was obviously not aimed at him...

Wudamu remembered what King Jin said before his death, that he would hand over the military power to Zhao Wumian. He also remembered that Guiyi Zhenren Daojian Sect and Xiao Xitian were standing behind Zhao Wumian... Would Zhao Wumian be there?
Piantou Pass is located in the northwest of Taiyuan, so Wudamu was originally fleeing to the west, in the same direction as the signal location... If he wanted to go over and take a look, it would be just a matter of convenience.

The signal was right on his escape route.

Thinking of this, Wudamu's speed suddenly increased a bit.

His previous words were indeed intended to delay time, but his real intention was to kill Zhao Wumian.

As far as he knew, Zhao Wumian had never communicated with the bridge between heaven and earth, so even if Wudamu was seriously injured at this moment, he could be easily killed.

So if Zhao Wumian is here, kill him. If he is not here, leave...it won't take much time.

Thinking of this, Wudamu pressed on the charred umbrella rib, and a secret compartment popped out.

There was a jade-white pill in the secret compartment. Wudamu swallowed it and his complexion improved visibly.

Zhao Wumian is too famous, so just in case, it is better to take this pill in advance... This was originally a backup plan for Lady Canghua.
