Sword from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 59 Old Ma!

"Don't mess up! Don't mess up!"

Yu Hongda's voice was drowned out by the chaotic military formation.

The floodwaters rushed down the mountain stream and surged toward the crowd. The teahouse was hit by a huge boulder that rolled in, and with several cracking sounds, the pillars broke and the teahouse collapsed!
The horses neighed and cried out in alarm, and the army was thrown into chaos!
"Stab~!"

The water flooded the bonfire in the courtyard.

The torrent, carrying mud and rocks, extinguished the fire in an instant, sending up a five-foot-high plume of steam and white mist.

Countless sparks, like fireflies, rose from the white mist and rushed against the current into the night sky!

Prefect Zhao's expression finally changed.

Zhou Yi noticed something was wrong with Lao Ma and took another step closer to him.

Ma Shouyi tilted his head, and their eyes met for a fleeting moment.

Seeing Zhou Yi's unusual behavior, Shen Luoyan and Wang Bodang moved closer and kept a close eye on him.

Looking at the chaotic army formation, watching men and horses tumbling about, Li Mi revealed a smug smile amidst this spectacular scene.

Actually, the water level isn't that high.

It is not a threat to martial arts masters.

But as the saying goes, water and fire are merciless. Water rushing down from the mountain stream in the darkness is incredibly powerful, and the more you think about it, the bigger it becomes.

It scared people half to death.

To reorganize a disorganized army in the dark, especially since this force is not commanded by a single person, is virtually impossible.

Shen Luoyan smiled slightly:
"Master Zhou, what do you think of this method of flooding?"

“Excellent,” Zhou Yi said, seemingly already part of the Pushan public camp, facing Zhao Tuo, “Prefect Zhao, you have lost.”

Zhao Tuo's eye twitched: "That's right, I lost, but so what?"

After saying this, his expression changed, and after a moment of hesitation, he suddenly turned his head and respectfully said to Li Mi:

"If Lord Mi does not despise me, I, Zhao, am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty. The entire Huaiyang prefecture will fall under your command."

"Hahaha!"

Li Mi laughed loudly, his face beaming with joy as he released the precious blade from his hand: "Mr. Zhao trusts me, and I will not let you down."

This joy was genuine, and Shen Luoyan's eyes lit up as well.

She never expected that Zhao Tuo, who was skilled in both internal and external matters, was actually a spineless coward.

Just when Li Mi thought he had won everything,
In the darkness, a chilling gaze fell upon them.

That gaze fell upon the precious blade in Li Mi's hand.

They looked at Wang Bodang and Shen Luoyan, both dressed in white!
We found you!

An endless rage is ignited; the Emperor's fury must be quelled by the Emperor's art!
Emperor Ding unleashed his full power!

In an instant, a dark shadow pierced the darkness, and a murderous intent suddenly descended.

By the time Li Mi realized what was happening, the dark figure that had surged from the darkness was already two zhang around him!

Although there are many experts in the Duke of Pushan's camp, none of them are as good as Emperor Ding.

Especially when drawn in by the chaotic formation, it's difficult to concentrate.

Before he could even realize it, a huge pair of iron shears was already slicing down from the side, the wind howling as it cut, about to tear Li Mi's body to pieces!
It's that strange guy wearing the Heavenly Crown!

Everyone turned pale when they realized that this person's methods were strange.

"Master Mi!"

Wang Bodang, Shen Luoyan, and the others shouted and charged forward using their respective skills!
There's no way to dodge that fatal blow!
At the critical moment, Li Mi pulled Zhao Tuo aside and stood in front of him.

"you--!!"

Prefect Zhao's startled roar abruptly stopped.

Head flew off!

No matter how strong your external martial arts skills are, your neck can't withstand this cut.

Li Mi thrust out a palm, sending Zhao Tuo's dead head hurtling towards the Emperor. Emperor Ding flicked his sleeve, sending the dead head flying into the air and outwards.

Amidst the chaos, You Hongda heard the whistling wind beside him, grabbed something, and caught it.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Prefect Zhao!
Overjoyed, he rode his horse, carrying the severed head, through the chaos, shouting as he went:
"Don't panic, don't panic, Prefect Zhao is here, Prefect Zhao is here!"

Upon hearing You Hongda's voice, the men from the Prefect's office and General Zhang's camp joined forces again and rushed towards his direction.
"Who are you?!"

Li Mi stared coldly at the strange man who wanted to kill him, asking himself if he had ever provoked this guy.

Emperor Ding was furious and fell silent when he thought about his tomb being destroyed.

Let's cut off the head of this mastermind first!
But after Zhao Tuo blocked the fatal blow, it was no longer possible for him to kill Li Mi.

Li Mi was already a local tyrant, and now a group of experts from the Duke of Pushan's camp have all come to attack!
Old Master Ding brandished his Five Emperor Maces, unleashing a furious and chaotic battle. His innate true energy was powerful and domineering, killing three experts in succession.

But he couldn't withstand the enemies from all sides. With a swing of his scissors, he blocked three swords and a spear, and a zombie leaped outwards!

How could Zhou Yi miss this rare opportunity? He leaped up in the opposite direction from Emperor Ding.

At this moment, the 'big bug' outside disappeared!
If no one is blocking the way, then let's see who runs the fastest!
"Stop him!"

Shen Luoyan shouted.

Several masters of light-footed skills followed up, and Ma Shouyi, being the closest, struck first!

An aged hand slapped towards me.

At that very moment, Zhou Yi was utterly shaken!

What Ma Shouyi displayed was not the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Force, but the Hunyuan Kung Fu!

The two had fought a great battle at Cangyan Mountain, so how could they not know that this Hunyuan Gongfa was countered by Zhou Yitian?

This is! ! !

Zhou Yi glanced back and suddenly realized what was going on!

Before he could unleash his lightness skill, he struck back with a palm strike.

"Bang!" The palms collided, and a gust of wind rippled outwards.

Outsiders only saw their fierce palm strikes, but they had no idea of ​​the enormous repulsive force behind them!

Taking advantage of this, Zhou Yi's figure swayed and he flew out!

Ma Shouyi staggered backward, blasted towards Li Mi by the fierce palm force.

Others only said that his skill was inferior to Zhou Yi's.
However, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

As Ma Shouyi stumbled backward, the expression on his aged face was indescribable.

He concealed his hand beneath his sleeve, gathering his inner energy, which gleamed with a cold light.

He suddenly turned around and struck Li Mi with a palm!
Before everyone could react, they had already shifted their attention from Emperor Ding to Zhou Yi!

Ma Shouyi's palm strike landed squarely on Li Mi's chest!
He unleashed his full power, employing his ultimate technique, the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Force.

Even though Li Mi protected himself with the Earthly Fiend Qi, he was still pierced through by a single palm strike in the heat of the moment.

Li Mi, his face filled with suspicion and anger, spat out a mouthful of blood, his body crashing to the ground, splashing dirty water everywhere!

"Ma Shouyi!!"

Wang Bodang roared, his eyes turning bloodshot.

He disregarded Zhou Yi and, together with the experts from Pushan Public Security Bureau, rushed straight towards Ma Shouyi!

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhou Yi swayed involuntarily. Even though he had anticipated this, he almost lost his breath.

"Hehehehehehe~!!"

An old man's laughter reached Zhou Yi's ears amidst the chaos.

That laughter was extremely manic!

老马
Zhou Yi was filled with doubts but had no time to think about them anymore, as someone was closely following behind him.

Identify the southwest direction, step onto the back of a hastily galloping horse, and leap into the dark woods.

Three skilled martial arts practitioners from Pushan Public Company were in hot pursuit.

but
After chasing for less than four miles, the three of them stopped on the top of a tree.

You look at me, I look at you.

"Where is he?" A short, thin old man asked, his face full of doubt.

He looked around, but the person he had been chasing had vanished without a trace.

A tall man said, "We've lost them. Could it be that we've taken the wrong direction?"

“How could we possibly chase the wrong one?” another skinny man snorted. “It’s this guy’s superb lightness skill.”

The old man frowned, his white eyebrows furrowing. "This is completely different from the information we received."

"This person is extremely well hidden; letting him escape this time was a huge miscalculation."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt the sound of wind on the way he came.

"Mr. Chen!"

The two companions shouted and then scattered and fled as if they had seen a ghost.

The old man sensed something was wrong and mustered all his strength to strike behind him with a palm strike from a distance.

In the darkness, a giant pair of iron shears sliced ​​through the palm wind and reached the old man without any obstruction.

"Crack!!"

Old Chen's gaze rose higher and higher, performing a flying head trick.

The old man secretly praised: Good cutting technique.

He saw from the air that the strange man wearing a towering crown, who looked like an old zombie, killed him and then headed in the direction of Li Mi.

As he walked, he wiped the scissors with a white cloth.
……

Zhou Yi ran for several miles, and then there was no further movement behind him.

He figured he had shaken off those people.

"Since we don't know whether Li Mi is dead or not, the people in the Pushan public estate probably have no intention of pursuing him anymore."

"Whoo~~~"

He let out a long breath, his heart still pounding.

Old Ma's palm strike was quite powerful; if he had managed to kill Li Mi by sheer luck, we would have set off firecrackers to celebrate.

However, Lao Ma's behavior is really hard to understand.

Which side does he belong to?
As for Li Mi
As Zhou Yi walked, he pondered the situation, and based on what he had said in the teahouse, he roughly guessed some of the clues.

Because Li Mi had mentioned Hao Xiaode of Pingyuan County.

This person was also part of the anti-Sui forces and formed an alliance with Zhi Shilang.

Li Mi rebelled along with Yang Xuangan and was ordered to be hunted down by Yang Guang.

He was once captured by the Sui army, but escaped by using a trick.

After that, he approached Hao Xiaode, intending to join forces.

It seems that this is when the feud began.

Zhou Yi shook his head, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky.

The details are truly unclear, but upon careful recollection of the events of the past few hours...
Li Mi's acting skills, scheming, quick change of expression, methods, and oxcart driving skills.
All of this left a deep impression on Zhou Yi.

No wonder he's survived to this day as Yang Xuangan's chief strategist.

But man proposes, God disposes. Even such a cunning and scheming villain might have a good chance of being brought down by Lao Ma this time.

I recall the scene when I first met Li Mi, and he took me in an oxcart to talk about Li Si.

Thinking about his upcoming trip to the unfamiliar city of Nanyang, Zhou Yisheng felt a surge of emotions.

Liu Zhiyuan,
You've given me a wake-up call.
