Chapter 24 You Kill Your Way, I Kill Mine (Please read on, vote with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!)

The Eastern Depot Supervisor.

This is a name that inspires the most fear in both the imperial court and the martial arts world.

Whether it was the invincible eunuch Sanbao during the reign of Emperor Chengzu, Cao Zhengchun during the reign of Emperor Chenghua, or Gu Jinfu and others during the reign of Emperor Jingtai.

They all possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, superior political acumen, and overwhelming power, making them renowned for a time, with no one daring to challenge their prowess.

Now, Cao Shaoqin has gone a step further. He is obsequious to his superiors and bullies his subordinates, and his arrogance is overwhelming. No one in the court or the martial arts world combined is worth a fraction of him.

In this way, no one in the world can control them.

He can kill Yang Yuxuan, a high-ranking official, at will; he can fight the Huashan Sect, the orthodox martial arts sect, at will.

In order to hunt down the so-called Zhou Huai'an, he led thousands of troops from the Divine Officials Bureau, the Imperial Household Department, the Wuzi Treasury, and the Eastern Depot's Black Riders straight to the desert.

If it weren't for the black storm blocking the road these past few days, the Little Dragon Gate Inn would probably have been flattened long ago.

now.

As the sandstorm subsided and dark clouds gathered, the army immediately set off, its banners covering the sky in countless numbers, surging towards the Dragon Gate Inn.

The first thing to be hit was the black riders drawing their bows and firing arrows, raining down like rain!

This surprise attack was incredibly fast. Cao Shaoqin was shrewd and resourceful, seizing every opportunity to strike first, determined to catch the rebels inside off guard.

With a series of loud bangs, the square building of Longmen Inn was instantly transformed into a hedgehog.

Inside the inn, while everyone was momentarily stunned, Ren Shaoyang suddenly stomped his foot on the ground!

boom!
The floor broke, followed by the collapse of bricks and stones. Everyone gasped as they fell to the first floor with the rubble.

Before we could even marvel at Ren Shaoyang's immense strength...

Then Jin Xiangyu led his group of furtive subordinates over.

"Damn it, they really are ruthless!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qiu Moyan shouted, "Take us to the secret passage!"

Jin Xiangyu dared not retort and quickly led everyone to the secret passage.

Suddenly, the sound of war drums was heard, and countless soldiers and horses surged out from outside the gate.

Ren Shaoyang waved to them: "You guys run first, I'll say hello to Cao Shaoqin!"

Hongxiu suddenly grabbed Ren Shaoyang's hand with surprisingly strong force.

Ren Shaoyang turned to look at her.

Suddenly, I saw the face of a pale young girl.

Hongxiu whispered, "You're back alive, I won't scold you anymore."

"Nonsense!" Ren Shaoyang laughed.

Ding An's eyes were red, and she came over and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm ready, be careful!"

Ren Shaoyang tilted his head and smiled, then gently hugged them both: "Don't worry, I value my life the most!"

After saying that, he gently pushed them away, then looked up at Mu Renqing with a serious expression: "Protect the little beggar."

Mu Renqing's large eyes were filled with determination: "As long as the sword is here, I am here!"

Ren Shaoyang nodded, then suddenly turned around. With a loud bang, the inn's gate and earthen wall were broken open, and soldiers surged in like a tide. Cao Tian, ​​who was sitting on his horse in the distance, saw him, his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly.

"Anyone who dares to rebel and plot against the chief commander, and whoever beheads him, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

Upon hearing the command, the barbarians were overjoyed, shouting wildly and raising their knives and spears to thrust forward.

"Noisy!"

Ren Shaoyang shouted loudly.

The shout was incredibly powerful, echoing repeatedly within the inn like crashing waves, causing pebbles to fall in a flurry.

The dozen or so barbarians who rushed in felt their blood surging and couldn't help but cover their ears and scream in pain.

In that instant, Ren Shaoyang moved like the wind, sweeping into the crowd, his iron rod waving, and waves of blood rising into the air.

"Go! Kill him!"

Several junior officers brandished long swords and led their men straight at them.

Before they could react, a black light flashed before their eyes, and Ren Shaoyang's iron spike pierced through their throats.

Seeing their superior fall in a single blow, the surrounding barbarians were all terrified.

Ren Shaoyang laughed loudly: "Who dares to stop me?" He flew backward, running downstairs. With a single arm, he pulled down the entire staircase with a series of cracking sounds!
Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked and tried to back away, but the crowd behind them was too dense, a dark mass, and the scene immediately became chaotic as people pushed and shoved each other.

"on!"

Seeing the chaos ahead, Cao Tian was furious. "Push them forward! Push them forward!"

"Press, press, press! Can you be a Psyduck?!"

Ren Shaoyang let out a loud shout and charged forward across the stairs with one hand.

In the eyes of the crowd, it was truly like clouds coming and mountains moving, with an astonishing momentum.

"Wow!"

The stairs slammed into the guards, causing them to vomit blood. They were pushed around like rag dolls.

Seeing the person in front rapidly approaching, the people behind shouted and rushed forward.

With a loud bang, Ren Shaoyang faced hundreds of enemy soldiers alone, standing firm like a rock against the waves.

If one looked down from the sky, one would see that there was a large empty space behind Ren Shaoyang, while in front of him were dark masses of Eastern Depot agents, like ants, advancing one after another.

Looking at it, it's like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly awe-inspiring.

Ren Shaoyang felt the immense force in front of him and looked at the endless stream of warriors vying for his attention. He sneered and suddenly took a large step back.

Everyone was rushing forward with their heads down when they realized that Ren Shaoyang was highly skilled and daring, and dared to deflect the force in this way.

Suddenly, they realized there was no ground in front of them. Everyone cried out in pain, realizing they had nowhere to stand. They stumbled a few steps and fell forward.

Just as he was about to retract his fist, Ren Shaoyang shouted and threw a punch at the oncoming wooden ladder.

It is indeed "One God Fist"!
With the earth-shattering power of the "Great Vajra Divine Power," the wooden ladder shattered into pieces with a sudden crack.

The dozens of people directly in front were also shaken by the enormous force of the pull and push, screaming in unison as they were sent flying. From a distance, it looked as if they had been blown apart by explosives, a shocking and dazzling sight.

Cao Tian, ​​who was ahead, saw it clearly and was so frightened that his face changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted, "Fire the arrows..."

"Wait!" Lu Xiaochuan stopped him.

Cao Tian angrily said, "You son of a bitch, how dare you stop me?"

Lu Xiaochuan said, "There are still our men blocking the way ahead. If you fire arrows, won't you just throw our formation into disarray?"

"Get out of my way!" Cao Tian snorted and shoved him aside. "Before the Grand Eunuch left, he told me to act as I saw fit. How dare you interfere?"

Lu Xiaochuan was pushed back a few steps, and then he saw Cao Tian wave his hand.

In an instant, a rain of arrows filled the sky, relentless and unending.

But then they heard people ahead screaming in pain as they were hit by arrows, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of people fell to the ground.

Ren Shaoyang killed far more people than this backstab!

Ren Shaoyang laughed heartily: "Thank you for your help, Commander Cao!" His voice was loud and clear, and the entire battlefield could hear him clearly.

Cao Tian's face turned pale. Commanding was not his forte, and seeing that the archery not only failed but also freed Ren Shaoyang, who jumped out after a few leaps, he was at a loss.

Ren Shaoyang wielded the iron rod with incredible skill, deflecting arrows and charging forward. Wherever he went, men and horses fell, and truly no one within a ten-foot radius could stand against him.

"This person..." Lu Xiaochuan took two steps back upon seeing Ren Shaoyang's unstoppable momentum. "His progress is so rapid?"

Cao Tian was also stunned, clearly still recovering from the previous barrage of arrows: "Ah, ah? What?"

Ren Shaoyang, who had broken through the encirclement, suddenly stared at him and grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

"You damned eunuch, I've put up with you for far too long!"

Before he could finish speaking, he leaped into the formation again!
Faced with a swarm of soldiers, shouting like thunder.

charge!

Ren Shaoyang flicked his iron rod, sending black light flying wildly. He danced with blood, and the barbarian cavalrymen fell from their horses one after another.

His first use of "Striking the Ten Directions of the World with a Stick" was met with unexpected divine assistance. He immediately let out a long roar and swung the stick, causing the Eastern Depot agent to spurt blood. He watched as Ren Shaoyang charged towards him like a wave cutting through the air.

Cao Tian and Lu Xiaochuan were so shocked that they almost huddled together. Just then, a deep shout came from behind: "My two bosses, I'm here!"

The two looked back and saw a dozen black-clad riders galloping out and blocking their way in the blink of an eye.

It was Chang Yanxiao who brought people over.

Cao Tian was overjoyed, shouting, "Second Boss!"

Lu Xiaochuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

But little did they know that they hadn't put their minds at ease yet.

Suddenly, one hears screams, the sound of weapons shattering, bones breaking, horses neighing, blood splattering, corpses hitting the ground, and the "crack" of something being trampled.

A barrage of voices erupted, sending the three of them into their throats once again!
They turned around abruptly and saw a huge eye of a hurricane slowly forming beneath the dark, low-hanging sky, with lightning flashing incessantly.

Holding an iron rod, Ren Shaoyang charged against the cavalry tide, carving a bloody path through the crowd. Wherever he passed, the corpses of the barbarians flew into the air, rising and falling in waves, chilling everyone to the bone and making them feel as if they were in a nightmare.

Cao Tian and the other two had never seen such a monster that killed people as easily as cutting grass and pulling wheat.
Seeing that Ren Shaoyang had actually broken through the formation, the barbarians on both sides were so frightened that they ran away in terror. In the vast desert, no one made a sound.

Only Ren Shaoyang's arrogant laughter rang out: "Cao Tian, ​​I've come to repay you for that arrow!"

"Hold!"

Cao Tian and his two companions immediately spurred their horses and galloped away, not daring to look back.

Hearing the incessant screams behind him, he knew that Ren Shaoyang had caught up. He immediately whipped his horse's rump hard, wishing he could sprout wings and fly out of this hell.

"Ren Shaoyang, why the hell are you chasing me?!" Cao Tian shouted as he ran. "I was just following orders!"

Ren Shaoyang ignored it and continued to chase after him.

"Yeah, I didn't do anything to you, why won't you let me go?" Chang Yanxiao regretted saving them.

Ren Shaoyang dismissed it as nonsense.

"Master Ren, if you keep chasing them, Ren Hongxiu, Li Ding'an, and the others will die!" Lu Xiaochuan shouted.

Ren Shaoyang's expression changed, and he chased even more fiercely!
"Damn!" Cao Tian turned around and was terrified. "Don't say a word!"

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang"!

Cao Tian felt a jolt in his back, followed by a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw that an arrow had pierced through his body!

"You, how come you can shoot arrows?"

Ren Shaoyang, holding the iron-rimmed bow, ran and shouted, "Nothing else, it's the liver!"

Cao Tian, ​​however, did not know what a "liver" was. Hot blood gushed from his mouth, and after a moment of staggering, he collapsed onto the desert floor with a thud.

Hearing the sound of arrows being shot and the sound of someone falling to the ground, Lu Xiaochuan and Chang Yanxiao were so frightened that they turned around like snakes and rats, mustering their courage.

But then he saw the fiend, covered in blood, chasing after him. His legs were faster than a galloping horse, and he was only a few feet away. He couldn't help but shout, "It's over!"

Whoosh!
The arrow pierced through his body again, pinning Chang Yanxiao and his horse to the spot.

Ren Shaoyang threw away the iron bow, took a deep breath, and used the "Soaring Form" technique. His body leaped up, like a roc spreading its wings, and he spun around before striding forward.

She actually sat on Lu Xiaochuan's shoulders!
Lu Xiaochuan felt a jolt, and a surge of powerful energy rushed into his body, instantly draining all his strength and leaving him feeling utterly exhausted.

Then two legs dangled down from his neck. Just as he was feeling a chill, Ren Shaoyang's icy voice came from above.

Where did Cao Shaoqin go?

Lu Xiaochuan felt as if his heart had sunk into an abyss, and honestly replied, "The Grand Eunuch has gone to chase after Qiu Moyan and the others."

How did he know our whereabouts?

Lu Xiaochuan said, "The Grand Eunuch's martial arts have improved greatly in recent years, especially his divine eyes, which can see the veins of mountains and rivers and detect changes in people's hearts. Naturally, the Grand Eunuch saw their whereabouts."

Ren Shaoyang was taken aback: "You can go this far?"

Lu Xiaochuan said, "The wind and sand cannot disturb your vision, nor can emotions sway your heart. Ren Shaoyang, your friends and relatives are probably already lying dead all over the place by now!"

"Is it?"

Ren Shaoyang pushed with his palm, and with a "poof," Lu Xiaochuan's head immediately sank into the cavity, and the horse carried away the headless corpse.

He then flew down to the ground, turned around, and looked at the sky with a serious expression.

At this moment, the eye of the hurricane is slowly extending, like a giant pillar reaching towards the earth!

A black storm, the worst in sixty years, is coming!
Ding An and the others emerged from the tunnel entrance and turned around to see that the sky and earth were dark, with low-hanging dark clouds and an aura of destruction permeating the surroundings.

In the far distance, one could vaguely see the small building of the Dragon Gate Inn. A dark mass of barbarians, covering the entire mountainside, rushed in one direction, their deafening roars drowning out the overwhelming desolation.

"Master Ren, you're truly amazing!" Jin Xiangyu was so impressed that he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Mu Renqing stared wide-eyed. A gust of wind blew, and sand filled his mouth. He immediately spat it out repeatedly.

Just as he looked up, he suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"

At this moment, dark clouds hung low, like black pillars reaching to the sky, the wind howled mournfully, and yellow sand rose in the air.

It was already getting harder to see clearly, but Mu Renqing suddenly saw a figure standing in the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone turned their heads and froze, all thinking the same thing: "Who...who is this?"

Then, two beams of light, like lightning or autumn water drawn from a sheath, shot straight in, piercing through the wind and sand, and clearly scanned everyone.

Only then did everyone realize that what they saw was not lightning, but the gaze of the newcomer!
Ignoring the sand and dust that was smearing his mouth, Mu Renqing pointed at the man and said in a trembling voice, "This, this is the 'Bright Eyes Style'?"

"Ha, a brat from the Huashan Sect."

The man chuckled softly, and everyone felt a strong sense of unease as they listened to his soft yet domineering voice.

Suddenly, he waved his sleeve, and a whooshing sound was heard as the yellow sand billowed, as if splitting waves, and the surrounding area suddenly became clear.

Everyone turned their gazes and saw that the person had somehow appeared standing three zhang away.

"Cao Shaoqin!"

Qiu Moyan gritted her teeth and said.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this and looked at him more closely.

The renowned eunuch of the Eastern Depot had white hair and sword-like eyebrows, a handsome appearance, and an air of composure, yet a hint of cruelty emanated from his brows.

Cao Shaoqin looked at Qiu Moyan and said indifferently, "Zhou Huai'an's mistress?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Moyan's expression turned grave: "What happened in Huai'an?"

Cao Shaoqin chuckled lightly, "He was beheaded and his head displayed to the public."

Qiu Moyan's face was drained of color, and she could not stand steadily. She staggered a few steps and was about to fall to the ground.

Even with her resilient nature, she was overwhelmed by immense pain at this moment.

"Mo Yan!"

"Autumn Maiden?"

"careful!"

Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to help her up. Just then, Hongxiu suddenly shouted, "He's here!"

call!
Cao Shaoqin, dressed in a white robe, remained motionless with his hands in his sleeves, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Upon seeing this, Jin Xiangyu felt a tightness all over her body and suddenly became unable to move.

"Be careful, don't look him in the eyes!" Mu Renqing shouted.

However, it was too late for him to speak. With a "whoosh," the white sword light shone brightly.

Jin Xiangyu screamed as one of her arms flew off her body.

Hongxiu risked her life to drag Jin Xiangyu away. Seeing that her arm was broken, she quickly reached out and pressed it down to prevent excessive bleeding.

Just then, a series of soft hissing sounds rang out, and the waiters of the Dragon Gate Inn screamed repeatedly as their limbs and bodies flew into the air, one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Shaoqin killed more than a dozen people, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. His swordsmanship was extremely fast and ruthless, capable of shattering men and horses and destroying objects and people with a single strike.

"Dragon Fire Devours the Heavens!"

Suddenly, a figure rushed towards them. It was Ding An, who roared repeatedly, his broken sword blazing with flames as he charged forward like a fireball!
Cao Shaoqin appeared, tilted his head to look, and sneered, "Oh, 'Fire Greed One-Slash'? I didn't expect such an unexpected gain!"

"The last survivors of Nucang Mountain!"
