Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 74: Kill the thief today, everyone who sees will have a share (Subscribe)
Before the pain came, Qin Hui was still begging for mercy. He talked about the experience of the man named "Wu Bo", as if he was trying his best to prove that he was definitely not Qin Hui.

But then, severe pain came like a tide, and he suddenly realized that he had lost both arms.

Qiu Chuji stretched out his hands and tapped his shoulders four times in succession, stopping the spurting of blood and preventing him from dying from excessive blood loss.

Killing him like this is too easy for him!
Carrying Qin Hui, who had lost both arms, Qiu Chuji turned and walked towards the palace entrance.

An old eunuch in red clothes and with gray hair strode into the hall, escorted by a group of guards.

"Release Lord Qin and surrender. I can plead with the emperor not to exterminate your entire family." The old eunuch said in a serious manner, holding a mixed iron stick with a coiled dragon on it.

Qiu Chuji carefully looked at this old eunuch with extraordinary bearing and said, "I have heard that Emperor Taizu of Song conquered the world with his fists and sticks."

"I thought the Emperor of the Zhao family had lost this skill, but I didn't expect it to be passed on to the eunuchs."

"Oh! It really is better to pass it on to the eunuch!"

"He Zuzhen, kill him...kill him!" Zhao Gou, who had finally come to his senses, collapsed to the ground, pointing at Qiu Chuji and yelling.

Strip away the sacred coat bestowed by his blood, and at this moment he is not even as good as a bandit or a thug.

"Yes! I obey your order!" The old eunuch tightened the iron rod in his hand, then took big strides and ran towards Qiu Chuji.

He was running very fast, and his sleeves bulged as if he was wearing armor as he ran.

All this shows that this old eunuch has extremely profound skills.

There is no shortage of martial arts secrets or medicinal supplies in the imperial palace. As long as you are willing to put in the effort to train them, you will always be able to accumulate some powerful masters.

If there were at least two or three more masters like the old eunuch in front of him in the early Song Dynasty, there would be at least two or three more in the palace.

Now, there is only this one seedling left.

Looking at this old eunuch who was obviously at the level of one of the Five Great Masters, Qiu Chuji still held Qin Hui with one hand and slightly turned sideways.

The surrounding imperial guards were too afraid to attack, let alone use bows and crossbows to shoot.

boom!
The dragon-shaped iron stick in the old eunuch's hand swept towards Qiu Chuji like a thunderbolt, bringing with it a suffocating and dull pressure.

This is exactly the "sweeping the enemy" in Panlong Staff Technique.

This move may seem unremarkable, but the key lies in the use of internal force. One strike of the stick is like the force of ten sticks.

Qiu Chuji blocked it with his long mace and immediately felt the strong threat.

The old eunuch was like a madman, swinging the iron rod and continuing to hit fiercely.

Although he was a weak man, the masculinity he exuded at this moment was far greater than that of the emperor.

The strong wind stirred up by the tip of the stick spread out in the surroundings, forcing back some of the imperial guards who had surrounded them.

Qiu Chuji frowned slightly, carried Qin Hui and stepped forward, ignoring the strong wind. If he didn't have to save Qin Hui's life first, Qiu Chuji wouldn't even have to evade at all and could have just rushed forward.

At this moment, Qiu Chuji was fighting with the old eunuch with his mace in one hand. Amidst the strong wind, Qiu Chuji seemed to be only parrying, but he was actually moving forward step by step. Although the old eunuch's stick skills were fierce, he was retreating step by step.

After fighting for more than ten moves, the old eunuch had already retreated to the door, and his originally strong aura began to become a little scattered.

The Panlong stick technique has the aura of an emperor's tyranny. Although the old eunuch's mind and method are masculine, he still lacks the spirit. Now Qiu Chuji has blocked his stick skills and suppressed him all the way. His internal energy has long been disrupted. If the fight continues, he will be injured by his own internal energy within thirty moves.

"Get out of the way!" A loud shout rang out from outside the door, and then a middle-aged general with a heroic figure, holding a spear in his hand, rushed in from outside the hall like a silver dragon.

The long spear and silver armor, with their boundless sharp edge, were not aimed at Qiu Chuji, but at Qin Hui who was held in Qiu Chuji's hand.

Tonight, Qin Hui can die, but he cannot die in public, and he cannot die in front of the people.

Even if the fact is established, as long as not many people saw it and everyone who experienced it in the palace was silenced one by one, the truth can still be that she is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.

Qiu Chuji's eyes turned cold and he slammed the long mace in his hand down.

Bang!
Amid the violent collision, the powerful vibration directly knocked the tip of the spear in the middle-aged general's hand away.

"General Yang, you must quickly mobilize the troops and form a military formation to block him." The old eunuch shouted.

The middle-aged general, who was feeling sorry for the weapon in his hand, turned his head and glanced at the old eunuch with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Qiu Chuji tore off his cloak, rolled it into a rope, and then tied Qin Hui to it and hung him behind him.

At this time, the benefits of cutting off Qin Hui's arms first became apparent.

Although he was still shouting and his legs were struggling violently, he had no arms and could only wriggle like a maggot. He was tied up and could not untie the rope, so he could only be dragged forward by Qiu Chuji.

Outside the palace, the military formation had been formed. Qiu Chuji took a look and revealed a sarcastic look.

He recognized this military formation.

The detailed record is in the "Wu Mu Testament", named "Dark Clouds Guarding the Moon Formation", which is a defensive formation.

There are many changes in the formation, which require a long period of training and coordination to be effective. It is generally not used on large-scale battlefields, but is used by small groups of elite troops to charge into the battlefield.

In fact, the Quanzhen Sect later also had a similar formation.

That was the kind of multiple formations that Guo Jing encountered when he took Yang Guo to Mount Zhongnan in The Return of the Condor Heroes. It was derived from the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation. That enlarged version of the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation, if applied on the battlefield, would be a very lethal military formation.

Looking at the military formation that had already unfolded before him, Qiu Chuji remained calm, tightly gripped the long mace in his hand, then strode into the formation and rushed forward.

The battle that took place in this remote palace finally awakened the entire imperial palace. The already bright lights completely illuminated the Phoenix Mountain not far away.

The beating of gongs and drums forcibly awakens all living creatures that have buried their heads and want to fall asleep.

Even the moon in the sky was covered with a thin layer of dim light.

No one knows how Qiu Chuji accurately found the palace where the emperor and Qin Hui were hiding among so many palaces and towers and such strict guard patrols.

This was something that even the eunuchs and concubines in the palace could not confirm.

All the guards on duty or not, tensed up at the same time, and then rushed to the scene with their weapons in hand at their superior's call.

They didn't even bother to put on their armor.

In a trance, some middle-aged guards who had experienced more even recalled that forgotten memory.

The trembling fear filled their hearts.

Within a short period of time, the entire palace was filled with shouts.

There was also the sound of armor rubbing against armor, and weapons colliding against weapons.

The day has not yet dawned, but the night has already awakened.

The Taoist holding a long mace threw Qin Hui into the air, and the whole person was drawn into the military formation, accurately cutting into the weak point of the formation.

All sophisticated formations will inevitably have some fixed centers. As long as the people at the centers are eliminated, the entire military formation system will be equivalent to having a part of it sealed off first.

Qiu Chuji's strength is rare in the world. The most difficult thing is his protective qigong that shines with golden light. This layer of protection makes him a "god" in cold weapon combat.

No matter whether it was a sharp or blunt weapon, it would not leave even a trace when it hit his body.

The occasional attacks by the old eunuchs and middle-aged generals did not cause any greater trouble to Qiu Chuji.

In a battle where thousands of people were besieging one person, the core and direction of the battle were dominated by this one person.

Shuttled through the military formation, flew through pavilions and towers, Qiu Chuji dragged Qin Hui and moved towards the palace gate, but would occasionally rush back, just to completely crush the deformed military formation.

It was like completely trampling on the false self-esteem of these imperial guards.

Qiu Chuji could not do what Ah Qing, the girl from Yue, did, who could break three thousand armored soldiers with one sword, but as long as he wore an indestructible coat, the three thousand armored soldiers would be nothing but clouds to him.

······
The chaos in the Grand Tutor's Mansion never ceased. Ouyang Feng was in the middle of it, attracting and attracting a lot of attention.

Then Wang Chongyang rushed in with a sword in hand, and headed straight for several places that he had inquired about in advance where Qin Hui might be hiding.

After an hour or two of fierce fighting, Wang Chongyang took away two hairy human heads from the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

They look almost exactly the same. Perhaps one of them is really Qin Hui, or perhaps they are just stand-ins.

When Wang Chongyang flew out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion with the head in his hand, Ouyang Feng also summoned a group of snakes and fought with the guards inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

In the melee, Ouyang Feng, who had regained his "equipment", went completely crazy with killing.

When he saw Wang Chongyang moving among the crowd, he knew clearly that he had been fooled.

His original intention was to use Qin Hui's power and this incident as an opportunity to capture Qiu Chuji, and then force him to reveal the secret manuals of his magical skills.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to become the vanguard officer to break through the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Doing the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work, you could really lose your life here if you are not careful.

If Ouyang Feng had not been holding him back, it would not have been so easy for Wang Chongyang to achieve his goal of killing Qin Hui's two substitutes.

Boom boom boom...!
The sound of drums was deafening, and a large number of soldiers who had been stationed in Lin'an City in advance began to ride their horses in the city, smashing down doors from house to house and searching violently.

They were chasing after the "criminal" who had escaped from the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The news that Grand Tutor Qin had been killed had begun to spread. Many people did not believe it, but they also had a vague expectation.

More than half of the soldiers chasing the "criminals" were just pretending and not really putting in any effort, but were waiting for the result.

They knocked on many people's doors, perhaps wanting to remind them that it was time to go out and see the rising sun outside.

When the first rays of light in the morning gradually fall on the city wall where the ancient and the new are superimposed.

The mottled traces of history, scattered in the glow, seem to have penetrated the barriers of time.

A big hole was knocked open in the thick palace door.

Qiu Chuji, whose Taoist robe was already tattered and the golden light around him had long since dissipated, strode out of the palace gate, carrying Qin Hui, who was only breathing his last breath.

Behind him were a large number of imperial guards pursuing him.

But...a night of fighting has already cost them a heavy price.

At this moment, in the eyes of these imperial guards, Qiu Chuji is a god, an immortal, a demon... but not a human!

Even with their superiors behind them giving them orders to attack, they still hesitated and dared not move forward.

"Your Majesty has ordered that Commander Yang Yizhong lead the troops to defend the palace without delay!"

The imperial edict from the emperor gave the imperial guards a reason to retreat.

The few sparse arrows shot at Qiu Chuji were their last attempt to save their reputation.

Standing among the imperial guards, Yang Yizhong, who was in charge of the overall situation, had veins throbbing on his forehead.

He had already grasped Qiu Chuji's flaw. He knew that the Taoist was still a human being and not an immortal after all.

The golden light has dissipated and the long mace has become exhausted. As long as the fight continues, it will take no more than an hour or two to capture the man and put him in a death cell.

The face of the imperial court, the face of the imperial guards, and his own face can all be saved.

But...but the emperor has given an order and we have to obey it.

In Zhao Gou's heart, nothing is more important than his safety.

"retreat!"

The imperial guards retreated slowly, and Qiu Chuji did not look back to see those eyes that looked like a lost dog.

He carried Qin Hui and walked towards the widest street in Lin'an City.

At this moment, there were already quite a few pedestrians on the street. They were all awakened by the noise of last night and the disturbance of the Xiang army before dawn. Most of them were brave people who went out to the street to inquire for news.

When people saw Qiu Chuji carrying an armless official in a red robe and walking towards them, their eyes were all focused on him, and then they naturally gathered together and started talking.

"Is... is it Prime Minister Qin?"

"Yes! Yes! It's him! It's Qin Hui. When his carriage passed by before, I once took a look through the curtain."

"Bah! Qin Gou has finally met his end!"

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

The common people began to shout, and the gangsters who were mixed in the crowd also became excited.

Qin Hui first lowered his head, then moved his lips, wanting to shout that he was not 'Qin Hui'.

But his mute point was pressed and he couldn't make any sound, and could only make useless "woohoo" sounds.

Qiu Chuji stood in the middle of the street and held Qin Hui's body high up: "The evil thief Qin Hui is here. Today, I will do justice for the heavens and get rid of this thief to avenge Marshal Yue."

"If anyone has the courage, come forward and give him a knife first."

"Today, if you kill the thief, everyone who sees him will be rewarded!"

The sound was loud and clear, but no one came near.

"Is there no one?"

"Then this achievement can only be enjoyed by this poor Taoist alone!" Qiu Chuji said with a sigh.

"Wait! Let me strike you with a knife!" Lin Chaoying's figure appeared from the corner of the street.

She pulled out a dagger from her waist, then flew forward, grabbed Qin Hui by the collar, and while he was trembling all over, she cut off a piece of flesh from his face with one knife and threw it to the side of the road.

A beggar suddenly pounced over, picked up the piece of meat on the ground with his mouth, put it in his mouth, and chewed it hard.

While chewing, he laughed out loud, and as he laughed, tears streamed down his face. Hatred, excitement, emotion... all surged on his cheeks.

The beggar pounced on him secondly. He bit Qin Hui's neck, tore off a piece of meat, and then chewed it even harder, as if he wanted to vent all his hatred.

Qiu Chuji looked over and found that the beggar was missing his left arm and right hand, and his legs did not seem to be very useful either.

Perhaps, he was once a veteran who protected the country, but now he has died like this.

After the first and second person, there will be the third and fourth.

More people rushed up and stabbed Qin Hui with their swords or bit him directly.

This made Qiu Chuji worry that Qin Hui would die immediately, so he took out a pill of Impermanence Pill and stuffed it into Qin Hui's mouth, pinching his chin and pouring the pill into his mouth.

However, the Impermanence Pill is just a top-quality pill made by Huang Yaoshi for healing wounds. It is not an elixir and does not have the effect of reviving the dead or turning bones into flesh.

When there are enough people rushing over at this moment and the hatred is strong enough, the time that the small Impermanence Pill can sustain Qin Hui's survival is actually very short.

The terrified crowd gathered together, tearing Qin Hui's flesh and blood, pulling out his hair, and eating him.

Every person who eats the flesh and blood seems to be undergoing some unique transformation.

Qiu Chuji's behavior quietly ignited a fire in people's hearts.

Just like what a Taoist priest named Zhang Jue did at the beginning many years ago.
