Minglong

Chapter 3 Let go of Lord Linghu!

Whoosh whoosh—

After a few soft sounds of breaking wind, the alley fell into silence.

The three of them surrounded the alley, blocking the front, back and top of the alley.
Chen Yuan, dressed as a wandering Taoist priest, half-crouched on the eaves, holding a black-sheathed longsword, looking down at the young man in a white robe in the alley:
"Who are you, sir?"

The monk who broke through the wall, twirling a string of prayer beads in his hand, aimed at the black eagle circling in the sky:
"He must be a rich kid who's blind. What should I do?"

The three of them were hiding here, and were suddenly spotted by a lone young man. What else could they do?
Xie Jinhuan stood there with his weapon in hand, facing powerful enemies surrounding him on three sides. At first he felt like he was facing a great enemy, but he soon discovered something was wrong.

He seems to be cheating!

To be precise, it's his own high martial arts skills that are a bit mysterious.

At this moment, he was fully focused and could clearly hear the breathing of the three people. He could even judge their current state by the subtle sound of the breeze blowing through their bodies and clothes.

The monk before him had a calm aura, and a different aura seemed to flow through him. He must be a genuine monk who had practiced Buddhist techniques. He even had a purse hanging from his waist, which could be used to replenish his travel expenses...

The Taoist priest above is more alert, his right leg bent in a half-squat, sword held across his body. It seems casual, but in fact it's convenient for him to leap back and create distance, his lungs pumping with energy, ready to strike...

The warrior behind me was a small fry. He was holding the knife too heavy and couldn't release it freely. He was looking for an opportunity to sneak attack and backstab...

Xie Jinhuan didn't know how he knew this, but the current situation was indeed clear at a glance.

He even knew that it would take at most five seconds to kill these three people, and any extra second would be considered as a show of mercy on his part.

The only thing related to martial arts he had was a book on martial arts practice, called "Joyful Heart Sutra". Judging from the handwriting, the book was written by him.

But he couldn't remember where he learned it, and no martial arts book could possibly have given him such rich fighting experience.

Xie Jinhuan was full of doubts. His current situation was unclear. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he gave the three people a chance:
"I don't want to commit murder in vain. The three of you put down your weapons and squat down with your hands on your heads. I will spare your lives. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Ha~"

The monk scoffed.

Chen Yuan squatted on the roof and carefully observed for a long time. He only felt that Xie Jinhuan's martial arts skills were extraordinary, but he could not see the foundation. After thinking for a while, he said:
"In the martial arts world, you can only die standing up, not live on your knees. If you have such ability, we three are unlucky to have run into you."

After the words were spoken, the alley fell into silence, with only the rustling of the wind remaining.

The warrior blocking the way from behind tightly grasped his three-foot-long sword and carefully observed Xie Jinhuan's shoulders and steps.

Realizing that Xie Jinhuan had no protection from behind, he seized the opportunity and suddenly stepped forward!

Choking——

In an instant, the blue bricks on which one stood shattered into pieces, and a silver light flashed in the alley!
The swordsman's figure was like a flying shuttle, and he rolled up a strong sword wind along the way. In an instant, he pressed behind Xie Jinhuan, and the other two people moved at the same time!

But what the three of them didn't expect was that the strength of the young man in white robe in the alley was beyond their imagination!
wow~
The moment the warrior attacked, Xie Jinhuan had already grasped the handle of the mace, but he did not turn around. Instead, he stepped back and pulled out the mace.

The warrior dodged and attacked, but before he could thrust out his sword, Xie Jinhuan fell backwards into his arms, and the round end of the mace handle hit him in the heart like a cannon hammer!

bang——

A muffled sound mixed with blood and broken bones!

The warrior stopped suddenly, his robe exploded and his back bulged, and a stream of blood shot out from his mouth and nose!
The warrior disappeared in a flash, and the monk in front was terrified. He wanted to stop immediately, but it was too late!
Xie Jinhuan didn't pay any attention to the warrior behind him from beginning to end. When he drew out the thirty-six-section Tiangang mace, his left hand had already wiped across the mace.

hiss~
All the true energy in his body gathered towards the mace, and even made a slight sound of gathering energy!
The monk sensed the terrifying, indestructible edge of the sword coming towards him, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He dug his feet into the ground, his chest swelling, and let out a loud cry:
"upbraid!"

Boom——

The next moment, Xie Jinhuan moved his left hand to the tip of the mace, followed the mace and thrust forward!
The Tiangang Mace was wrapped in a powerful energy, which instantly rolled up the weeds and leaves, turning them into an unparalleled tornado!
The tornado instantly pierced through the dark alley, cracking walls and exploding tiles along the way, and sweeping up all the dust and sand on the ground!
The monk was in front of the sharp edge, just like a mayfly facing a mad dragon breaking through the sea!
The gap between them was so huge that the monk didn't even have time to feel timid. He just tried his best to stimulate his Qi. A dim golden light appeared on his exposed skin, and his whole body turned into an unshakable angry Vajra!

But facing this powerful blow that was powerful enough to destroy cities and shake mountains, his mortal body was no different from an ant.

Boom——

The heavy mace penetrated the monk's flesh, and his chest exploded on the spot!
Blood and bones splattered everywhere, and the whole person was broken directly by the collision, with his shoulders and head flying into the air!

Taoist priest Chen Yuan had just jumped down from the eaves and was still in mid-air when he saw half of his accomplice's body passing by!

The terrifying air wave was like a devastating storm, passing through from below, cracking half of the alley, until a cloud of blood mist and flying sand spurted out at the corner of the alley!
Chen Yuan was standing on top, feeling as if he had jumped onto the back of a hundred-foot-tall evil dragon. His heart was trembling with fear, and he tried his best to kick the wall and roll to the side. On the way, he made a hand seal with his left hand, and a green light could be seen surging on his hand. When he landed, his sword was already stuck into the ground!
Stab la la——

The green light merged into the long sword and turned into an electric snake as thick as a thumb, tearing through the ground and heading straight for Xie Jinhuan's feet!

But at this moment, the young man in white robes who had smashed the demon monk turned around and swept his mace across the alley behind him like a mad dragon sweeping its tail.

boom--

A loud bang was heard in the alley.

The bricks and stones that had been shattered into pieces were almost completely lifted up, turning into a wave of bricks and stones as wide as the alley, pressing down like a tidal wave, instantly dividing the narrow alley into two sections!
Chen Yuan saw the entire ground in front of him rolling towards him, and his eyes became dull!
After all, judging from the momentum of his attack, this young man has definitely entered the ranks of a fourth-grade warrior, and may even have reached the third-grade level.

A fourth-rank master in the world is always a guest of honor in a wealthy family. The other party looks only twenty years old. How is this possible...

In the face of absolute strength, any counterattack would seem ridiculous and laughable, and there would be no chance of counterattack!

Faced with the huge gap, Chen Yuan reacted like frightened chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep, and instinctively turned around and ran away.

But alas, it was too late.

call out--

In the dusty alley, a sharp sword sound suddenly rang out!

The huge brick and stone wave that had not yet landed on the ground was knocked out by a vortex hole!
And at the front of the vortex was the afterimage of a white robe and a hint of cold light!
As soon as Chen Yuan heard the sound, a cold light flashed through the alley, piercing his spine and out of his chest!

puff--

Blood splattered onto the ground.

Chen Yuan stopped abruptly and looked down at the dark blue sword that had pierced his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Four and a half seconds. I overestimated you guys a bit."

Xie Jinhuan stood behind with a sword in his hand, and raised the Tiangang mace as he spoke.

slap~
Half of the evil monk's body fell down first and hit the eaves of the house.

The purse that was knocked away was now hanging firmly on the top of the Tiangang Mace!
Xie Jinhuan didn't use the Tiangang Mace to dismember Chen Yuan, not because he was soft-hearted, but because it would be difficult to explain after killing him, so he had to leave a living person as a gift to Captain Yang.

Xie Jinhuan was puzzled when he found out that his martial arts skills were indeed ridiculously high. He asked:
"Those two moves just now are called 'Black Dragon Crashing the Pillar' and 'Crazy Dragon Sweeping the Tail'. They're from the Eight Styles of Silver Dragon. Have you heard of them?"

Chen Yuan stood stiffly where he was, his face pale and he dared not move an inch, with deep confusion and horror in his eyes.

A black dragon crashing into a pillar? Never heard of it...

Eight Styles of Lustful Dragon...

How could a sect choose this name...

Could it be that he is a demon...

……

Before Chen Yuanshang could answer, the bluestone alley, which had already quieted down, suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking wind!

Sa——

Xie Jinhuan frowned, realizing this time the momentum was far stronger than the three of them. Without hesitation, he swung his mace back, striking the rapidly approaching sharp edge...

……

A moment ago.

Linghu Qingmo came over from outside the workshop. Halfway through his journey, he discovered a strange noise coming from the warehouse. Then half of his body flew out from above the two-meter-high warehouse, raising blood beads all over the sky. Sand and blood mist also sprayed out from the alley below!
Linghu Qingmo was horrified, knowing that there was a powerful enemy in the alley, and immediately jumped over the warehouse.

As a result, I saw a figure in white, holding a sword and stabbing a Taoist in the back!
Upon discovering his fellow Taoist being slaughtered, Linghu Qingmo drew his sword without hesitation and rushed forward to stop the incident. However, he never expected that the white-clothed bandit rampaging in the alley was extremely powerful. He realized something was wrong and before he could move, his cold light mace had already swung back and chopped him down, instantly bringing up a yellow dragon wrapped in flying sand and gravel!

Boom——

Linghu Qingmo was horrified and retreated without hesitation, but the distance between them was too close and the tip of the mace still grazed his chest.

Ka La——

The Dan Palace is equipped with sophisticated armor, which has impressive protective capabilities, but is not indestructible.

The tip of the mace with amazing explosive power swept across the dark green breastplate, and the fine scales like fish scales cracked instantly!

The remaining energy poured into his lungs, and Linghu Qingmo felt his chest shake violently. He immediately flew out and flew back several feet before hitting the ground and falling several times.

Bang, bang——

Wow…

As the figure slid to a stop, the alley fell completely silent.

After Xie Jinhuan's attack, he had already drawn the Zhenglun sword and was ready to turn around and finish him off.

But when he took a closer look, he found that the person lying on the ground was actually a warrior in black armor.

Possessing armor privately is a serious crime. Anyone who dares to wear armor and run around in Danyang City is either a member of the Jingzhao Prefecture garrison or the Dan King's personal guard. Killing them is tantamount to treason and must be executed immediately!
"My grass?"

Xie Jinhuan had been calm just now, but now he was startled:
"Eh? Bro! Sorry, sorry, please don't die!"

Xie Jinhuan quickly moved forward and tried to save it, only to find that the armor was of very good quality and the breastplate was cracked but not completely broken.

However, the mace is an armor-piercing weapon, and the internal injuries are enough to shock a person to death. This person was silent and obviously fainted.

Xie Jinhuan couldn't judge the extent of his injuries through his armor. He was trying to remove his visor to check his condition when a thunderous roar came from afar:
"You bold thief! Let Lord Linghu go!"

Chachacha...

The sound of swords being drawn was then heard.

Looking up, I saw five police officers appearing at the entrance of the alley, holding official swords as if facing a powerful enemy. The two police officers at the back even took out their "air-breaking crossbows" and frantically strung them.

It only takes five seconds at most to kill this group of small fish.

But Xie Jinhuan was not a fierce bandit. Killing the official's father would not save him. He quickly dropped his weapon and raised his hands:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We're one people!"

"Gooji!"

The coal ball that had landed in front of it also raised its little wings when it saw this!

Seeing that Linghu Qingmo's life or death was unknown, Yang Dabiao was scared to death and was ready to draw his sword to fight. That way, at least he would be considered a martyr and would not be killed by Her Royal Highness the Princess and Zihuishan in the future.

Yang Dabiao was stunned to find that this tyrannical thief had surrendered. To prevent any fraud, he shouted angrily:

"Hold your head with your hands, squat with your back to the enemy, and be killed without mercy if you dare to resist arrest!"

This method was taught to my father by Xie Jinhuan, and my father taught it to the servants below.

Xie Jinhuan knew he was in trouble, so he would not resist arrest at this moment. He squatted on the ground with his hands on his head:
"Brother Yang, it's me, Xie Jinhuan, my father..."

"Tie him up first! Go call a doctor..."

"Hey hey hey? We're all family, it's not like that..."
