A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 374 Fierce Battle
Wei Ziyang and his companions walked along the city wall for more than an hour.

They climbed up to the top of the city wall from the east gate, made a big circle along the city wall, and walked down from the north side.

The group went down the city wall and headed towards the county government office.

They turned into West Street from an alley and walked forward for a while. Wei Tian, who was following behind, suddenly had his eyelids jump. He saw the skinny little beggar huddled there shivering at the base of the wall not far away.

In fact, Duan Rong had been following them all the way, but he arrived here just a little earlier than them.

As the group of people passed by, Wei Tian couldn't help but look at the little beggar a few more times. He saw that his hair was full of greasy dirt, dry and tangled in clumps, his face had a patch of scabby spots, and his arms, which were exposed through his ragged clothes, were as thin as bamboo poles...

Wei Tian took a few glances and was almost certain that the little beggar's lethality was almost zero. Even a slightly ferocious wild dog could hurt him.

Wei Ziyang and his companions walked straight into the county office. Wei Tianze returned to the shabby carriage again. Seeing that Wei Ziyang had already entered the county office, he took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started to eat them slowly.

Wei Ziyang strode straight to the flower hall in the backyard of the government office, sat down, looked at the people, and said, "Okay! I've seen everything I need to see. I'll leave soon!"

Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan were both shocked. They didn't expect Wei Ziyang to be so swift and decisive. But Ge Qinglei just sat there expressionlessly, obviously already familiar with Wei Ziyang's style.

Sun Qian hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something else.

Wei Ziyang said in a deep voice again: "I want to take away the map of Xiangu County regulations on the table! Also, one of you two must go with me to the headquarters!"

"what……"

Neither Sun Qian nor Ruan Fengshan expected that Wei Ziyang would suddenly make such a request.

Ge Qinglei said, "What? You should be happy. Letting you go alone means that Lord Wei wants to report the situation of Xian Gu to the headquarters in detail. This shows that he values you. How about this, Sun Qian still has an official position, so it is inconvenient for him to leave for a long time. Ruan Fengshan, you can go to the headquarters with Lord Wei."

Ruan Fengshan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking.

Ge Qinglei said, "What? What are you still thinking about? This is your honor! As the head of the main altar, I can only go there when I am summoned."

Ruan Fengshan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Fengshan will obey the law!"

Ruan Fengshan had thought it through. In Xiangu County, he still had two big troubles, Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, and he couldn't hide in the secret room forever. He just took this opportunity to go to the main altar with the envoy. After the matter at the main altar was over, he was not in a hurry to come back and hide outside for a few months.

Leave the two troubles, Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, to Sun Qian to deal with.

Sun Qian glanced at Ruan Fengshan and saw through his thoughts. However, it was the order of the Dharma Envoy Wei Ziyang to let Ruan Fengshan go to the headquarters, so he had no choice but to obey.

"Okay! Let's go now without further ado!" Wei Ziyang said, and stood up from the armchair.

Outside the county office, it was already the afternoon.

Duan Rong huddled against the wall, but his eyes, hidden by his greasy hair, flashed with a clear light. At this time, on the West Street near the county government office, there were more than a dozen Qi Realm masters lurking in disguise. He had followed and investigated all the way before, and he had locked onto these people one by one.

Duan Rong raised his head again and looked at the azure sky, where a few white clouds were floating peacefully. He heard Wei Ziyang's words in the county government hall, and he should be leaving soon, but where is the support from the sect?
No wonder the Filthy Blood Sect has not been suppressed for so many years, this sect is truly corrupt!
Even though we gave you two big fish, you guys couldn't make any use of them!

Duan Rong thought so and glanced at the teahouse across the street. He knew that Ximen Kankan and the others were sitting in the teahouse, waiting for his decision.

Should I hit or let go?
At a street-facing window on the second floor of the teahouse, Ximen Kankan, Shen Mizhi, and Liu Shushan were sitting around a table.

At another window across two tables, Yang Zhen was sitting there. He was just watching. With his level of cultivation, he could not participate in a battle of this level at all.

Shen Mizhi lowered her voice and said, "When are we going to start? We've been sitting here doing nothing all day!"

Ximen Kankan pinched a lotus bean and put it in his mouth to chew. He looked at Duan Rong who was still curled up opposite him and ignored Shen Mizhi.

At this moment, Duan Rong suddenly stood up.

Ximen Kankan's eyes immediately became serious and he said, "It's coming!"

Shen Mizhi and Liu Shushan also immediately looked out the window at the opposite side.

Duan Rong was still hesitant. After all, the sect's support had not arrived yet, and it was still a bit risky to take action against Wei Ziyang and Ge Qinglei.

But he suddenly heard that Wei Ziyang wanted to take Ruan Fengshan to the headquarters, and Ruan Fengshan agreed.

If Wei Ziyang was allowed to take Ruan Fengshan away, once Ruan Fengshan left, Xiao Zongting's revenge would never be avenged!
He investigated for several days and gathered people everywhere, but in the end he couldn't even keep Ruan Fengshan. How could he have the face to explain to Xiao Yu?

At this point, the only option is to take action!
Wei Ziyang is at the great perfection of the Qi Realm, Ge Qinglei is at the fourth level of the Qi Realm, and the rest are insignificant!

But in fact, the person Duan Rong feared the most was Wei Ziyang. He always felt that the chief altar envoy would not have only this level of ability!
However, he had already thought of how to deal with Wei Ziyang. It was because of this consideration that he had the confidence to take action!
When Duan Rong stood up from the wall, Wei Tian was slightly startled, and his eyes immediately locked on the little beggar. He saw that after the little beggar stood up, he just walked slowly into the alley not far away...

The moment Duan Rong walked into the alley, Ximen Kankan had already stood up from his seat. Duan Rong walked into the alley and suddenly looked up at a window on the second floor of the teahouse.

Duan Rong and Ximen Kankan looked at each other across West Street. Duan Rong suddenly jumped into a yard beside him.

In the cramped courtyard, Xiao Yu sat on the threshold of the main room, already impatient to wait.

The moment Duan Rong jumped in, she stood up suddenly.

The two looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Xiao Yu knew that the real moment of revenge had come!

Duan Rong's bones suddenly made crackling sounds, and his body grew larger and larger in the sound. After a few breaths, it returned to its original shape.

Duan Rong rushed into the kitchen, tied the Minghong Sword to his waist, tied the quiver with nineteen black iron arrows to his legs, then held the Wumang bow in his hand and stood in the middle of the yard.

Duan Rong's consciousness was still outward, and he saw Wei Ziyang had already walked out of the county government gate. Wei Ziyang and Ge Qinglei strode in front, and Ruan Fengshan followed them with a roll of drawings. Sun Qian saw the three of them off to the gate. After all, there were many people on the street, so they just nodded and said goodbye. Wei Ziyang, Ge Qinglei, and Ruan Fengshan then got on the dilapidated carriage.

Wei Tian pulled the reins and whipped the old horse twice. The old horse snorted and pulled the shabby carriage forward.

Sun Qian stood there, watching the carriage go away.

In the carriage, Wei Ziyang seemed tired and closed his eyes to rest as soon as he entered the carriage. Ge Qinglei sat there indifferently, without saying a word. The carriage was a bit small, and as the carriage swayed, Ruan Fengshan's body would occasionally touch Wei Ziyang beside him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Sun Qian stood at the gate of the county government office and saw that the shabby carriage was about three meters away from the government office. He was about to turn around and go back, but at this moment, when the carriage passed by a certain place, the wall of a house next to it suddenly made two strange whooshing sounds!

Duan Rong stood in the yard, drawing his bow and drawing an arrow. Xiao Yu also stood not far from him, holding the hilt of the Qingling Knife!
Duan Rong's spiritual consciousness penetrated the wall and saw everything on the street outside the wall clearly.

When the dilapidated carriage reached an optimal distance, the true energy in Duan Rong's body surged instantly, and the black python bow in his hand was suddenly pulled to its full length like a full moon. The true energy was infused, and the bow made a bang, and the black iron arrow flew out with a tremor!
The black iron arrow wrapped in air currents pierced the wall in front of it like paper, and the stone chips and bricks were instantly turned into powder!
The black iron arrow continued to shoot towards Wei Tian who was driving the car!

An arrow burst out! Duan Rong bent his bow and drew his arrow again without any pause, and his body slightly tilted at a very small angle, and the second arrow flew through the wall again!

Two black iron arrows, wrapped in air currents, passed through the wall, but the wall in front of them did not collapse. Instead, two fist-sized round holes appeared on the wall.

The two round holes are curled in shape, just like two blooming chrysanthemums.

Two black iron arrows, wrapped in air currents, shot directly at Wei Tian who was driving from different angles!

This was also Duan Rong's killing strategy! As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers! He wanted to kill Wei Tian with one move!

Wei Tian drove leisurely, passing by the courtyard. At this time, he was less than half a foot away from the courtyard wall, when suddenly two black iron arrows pierced through the wall and went straight for his head. How could he react?
At the moment when the two strange whooshing sounds were heard, the old carriage instantly shattered, and a figure flashed out from the shattered carriage like a ghost.

It was Wei Ziyang who sensed the danger. His right hand turned blood red, as if it had been soaked in pus and blood. He slapped out with one palm and blocked a black iron arrow that was shot towards Wei Tian!
But another arrow had already been shot towards Wei Tian, and he couldn't stop it no matter what!

"Tian'er!" Wei Ziyang screamed, his eyes bloodshot.

But Wei Tian’s head had already exploded, and blood was splattering!
Wei Tian is Wei Ziyang's only son. Although Wei Tian joined the sect, he never let him practice the Dirty Blood Divine Art! At that moment just now, Wei Ziyang regretted his decision in the past.

Wei Ziyang's hands were red and bloody, with true energy surging in his palms. The black iron arrow that he had blocked was still spinning in front of his palms.

At this moment, two fireflies suddenly flew out from the tip of the black iron arrow, as if it was spinning in the true energy and rubbing out two sparks.

As soon as the two fireflies appeared, they flashed into Wei Ziyang's eyebrows and disappeared!

The scene before Wei Ziyang's eyes suddenly became blurry and changed like a fleeting shadow...

And all this happened in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, in the courtyard where the two black iron arrows were shot, two figures jumped up almost at the same time as the two arrows flew out. They were Xiao Yu and Duan Rong!
And on the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite, there were also three figures floating down like willow leaves riding the wind!

Xiao Yu jumped out of the courtyard wall and attacked Ruan Fengshan with a knife, shouting, "Ruan Fengshan, give me back my father's life!"

Ruan Fengshan was still sitting in the tattered carriage and had no idea of the situation. Before the shattered pieces of the carriage had completely fallen, he saw a beautiful figure with red eyes and murderous intent. The knife in her hand was shining coldly and she was going straight for his throat.

Ruan Fengshan was shocked. "Xiao...Xiao Yu?!"

Duan Rong jumped and stood on the courtyard wall. He bent the bow and drew the arrow again. He poured his true energy into it and the bowstring moved like thunder. Another black iron arrow was shot out and hit Ge Qinglei who was sitting next to Ruan Fengshan in the carriage.

Ge Qinglei's eyebrows twitched wildly. The moment Duan Rong drew his bow and shot the arrow, he felt a great sense of crisis. It was a danger that could kill him!
By the time Ge Qinglei reacted, the black iron arrow had already approached him, wrapped in the air flow, with astonishing momentum!
Ge Qinglei almost didn't even think about it, and blood threads all over his body burst out instantly. The blood threads all over Ge Qinglei's body were different from the first and second levels of the Dirty Blood Divine Art that Duan Rong had seen. Although Duan Rong didn't know which level of Ge Qinglei's Dirty Blood Divine Art he was at, the blood threads all over his body were already emitting a foul odor like pus and blood.

The blood threads that smelled like pus and blood floated and squirmed, and actually blocked Duan Rong's arrow!
A large mass of blood gathered and dissipated, and the true energy of the black iron arrow also disappeared completely. With a clang, it fell to the ground!

On the other side, Xiao Yu, Ximen Kankan, Shen Mizhi, and Liu Shushan were fighting with Ruan Fengshan and Sun Qian!
Sun Qian rushed over the moment the carriage collapsed, just in time to meet Ximen Kankan and the others jumping down from the teahouse!
Ximen Kankan and his group were outnumbered four to two. Seeing that they were in life-and-death crisis, Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan did not dare to hide their weakness, and bloodshot veins suddenly broke out all over their bodies!
Sun Qian and Ruan Fengshan had both achieved the third level of the Divine Art of Filthy Blood. The attacks of Ximen Kankan, Xiao Yu and the others were all blocked by the floating and wriggling blood threads!

The dozen or so Qi realm masters who were originally lurking in disguise on West Street, suddenly saw such a big commotion here, and they all drew their weapons, moved their bodies, and rushed over here!
Duan Rong stood on the courtyard wall, and with his spiritual sense, he locked onto all the people who were running towards him!
He bent his bow and drew his arrow, infusing it with true energy. The string moved like thunder, and a black iron arrow, wrapped in an air current, suddenly flew out, passing through a dry pomegranate tree, through the sign of the noodle stall, and drawing a visible air current in the air!

An arrow blew off the head of the person farthest from here! The blood threads around him were already wriggling and bursting, but how could he block Duan Rong's arrow of great perfection in the true energy realm!

When the people nearby saw the dead body with its head exploded and blood all over its body, they screamed and fled in all directions!

The other person who was lurking in disguise was not far from there. When he saw the crowd behind him suddenly move in an uproar, he turned his head and saw a headless bloody corpse in the middle of the street not far behind him!
But just as he turned his head, another black iron arrow, wrapped in the air flow, whizzed by with a strange sound, and blew his head into pieces!
Ge Qinglei's heart was pounding. He looked at the ragged young man standing on the courtyard wall with a determined face. He would first kill the person who was farthest away from the group. In other words, he would kill all of them, leaving no one alive!
Ge Qinglei glanced at Wei Ziyang, who was not far from him. He was like a petrified man, still with one hand slapping forward, motionless! He didn't know what happened to Wei Ziyang, but he knew that he had to stop the killing of the young man on the wall, otherwise, if he killed all those people, it would be his turn!

Ge Qinglei jumped up and tried to get closer to Duan Rong!
Although Duan Rong was shooting those disguised and lurking True Qi Realm Filthy Blood Sect warriors, he was also keeping an eye on Ge Qinglei's movements.

As soon as Ge Qinglei moved, Duan Rong stared at him, locked onto his figure with his spiritual consciousness, and stabbed Ge Qinglei's forehead with a spiritual spear!
Ge Qinglei's head suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if it was about to split open. He froze and almost fell down! In an instant, cold sweat broke out all over his body!
He took a few breaths before coming back to his senses. "What is this?!"

In just a few breaths, Duan Rong had already bent his bow and drawn his arrow, and shot and killed five people in one breath!

Those disguised and lurking True Qi Realm masters who had originally gathered here now turned around and fled in all directions!
But Duan Rong was locked in spiritual consciousness and he bent his bow and drew his arrow like flowing water, without any pause or hesitation!

One after another, headless bloody corpses were scattered around!
Eleven of them! Shoot them all!

The moment Duan Rong turned his head and looked at Ge Qinglei, Ge Qinglei, who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, actually shuddered!

At this moment, above the sky, a loud and high-pitched eagle cry sounded over Xiangu County!

Duan Rong looked up and saw a black dot hovering under the blue sky and clouds!

"Cloud-feathered Crazy Eagle?!"

"finally come!"
