Elderly Martial Saint: Sixty Times the Cultivation Speed at the Start
Chapter 160: Laying a trap, then killing!
"We've fallen for their trap."
"The Wei family betrayed me!"
Zongsha made an accurate judgment at this moment.
There are no coincidences in this world.
With the two major strongholds of White Fish City sealed off, he had just sneaked into the Sky Patrol Division when he ran into two True Qi Realm experts.
These two people are here just waiting for him to come to them.
Moreover, only the Wei family, who are related to the Nine Evil Sect, know his whereabouts. Now that the other party has been able to ambush him here...
This means that everything about him has been exposed, and the matter within the Holy Church is doomed to fail.
He stopped looking at the two people on the wall and turned his gaze to the tightly closed wooden door in the center of the backyard.
Inside the wooden door, an aura belonging to Yi Yang appeared calmly, as if unaware of the danger outside.
This old man surnamed Yi is right here in the house; he's sitting there as bait.
They threw out this bait, betting that Zongsha would definitely take it.
"Good tactic."
Zong Sha clenched his back teeth and let out a low, hoarse gasp.
For seven years, he had been killing officials and robbing people around Suining Prefecture. He was always the one setting up schemes and plotting against others. Today, he has been stripped clean and roasted over a fire.
He didn't intend to waste any more time; breaking through was the only way out.
He channeled his inner energy into his legs, and the blue bricks on the ground could not withstand the pressure, cracking open in three places.
Instead of choosing the main gate, Zong Sha shot towards the weakest point of the courtyard wall, the west side, pushing his speed to the limit.
His goal wasn't to kill anyone. As long as he could climb over the wall, he could blend into the crowd outside the city and seek revenge later.
But the moment he made that move, the male shadow guard on the left moved.
The man did not draw his knife, but took a half-foot step and pushed forward with his right hand.
An invisible wall of air appeared out of nowhere, blocking Zong Sha's escape route.
The air wall evacuates the air along its path, creating an absolute vacuum.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Zong Sha swung his right fist and smashed it with all his might to try to break through the obstacle.
His fist smashed through the air barrier, and the shockwave from the collision of their true energy sent fallen leaves flying far away.
The air barrier was shattered instantly.
But Zong Sha was a beat too slow, and the force of the punch sent a dull thud through his wrist and made his arm go numb.
At the same time, the female shadow guard on the right arrived.
The long knife in her hand had no fancy embellishments; the blade sliced diagonally upwards, aiming straight for the lower back of the victim.
The true energy within the blade did not leak out; it was all contained within the thin line of the blade.
He forcefully twisted his waist and moved aside by a mere inch.
The blade grazed his outer garment, slicing away a piece of flesh and leaving a two-inch-long gash on his ribs. Blood flowed down his clothes and dripped onto the blue bricks.
Unable to proceed on the ground, Zongsha immediately changed course and headed into the air.
He bent his knees and leaped three zhang (approximately 10 meters) into the air, attempting to jump over the roof ridge.
Once he leaves this courtyard, the terrain outside is complex, and he will have a chance to survive.
His body had just passed over the eaves when the moonlight above his head was blocked.
It turned out that the male shadow guard had already appeared above him.
The opponent was even faster than him, and had a significant advantage in the air.
At the same time, the shadow guard threw a punch from mid-air, aiming straight for Zong Sha's face.
The fist's force was thick and heavy, and the compressed true energy formed a semi-transparent cloud of air that could be seen with the naked eye.
With nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, he could only cross his arms and brace himself against the wall.
The force pressed down along the forearm bone into the shoulder blade, causing Zong Sha to lose his balance in mid-air and fall straight down.
His body smashed a large crater into the blue brick floor, and the surrounding stone slabs shattered into pieces, raising dust half a person's height.
Zong Sha, who had been knocked to the ground, coughed up a mouthful of bloody saliva and rolled over to his feet from the broken bricks.
Three steps to the left, the male shadow guard cracked his knuckles as he moved his wrists, his footsteps firmly blocking the escape route to the south.
Two steps to the right, the female shadow guard held her long sword upside down, drops of blood dripping from the tip, the blade aimed at his neck.
The two men's positions completely blocked any gaps in front, behind, left, or right.
One forced, one cut, one pressed. The two worked together seamlessly.
Without more than a decade of life-and-death trials, one could not master such a killing formation.
They don't need to speak; just a gesture is enough for them to know which gap their partner will cover.
Zongsha wiped the blood from his chin and exhaled a breath of foul air.
He knew he couldn't escape.
The current situation on the field is two against one, with the opponent at the True Qi Realm and coordinating their attacks.
I might not be able to leave this courtyard today.
After realizing his fate, Zong Sha's fierce expression vanished completely.
Since we can't escape, we might as well drag someone down with us.
The two outer bones are hard, but the one inside is easier to gnaw on.
Zong Sha's gaze passed over the shadow guards and landed back on the wooden door.
Wu Jin, Jiang Sha, and Chen Xinhu all died at the hands of this old man.
Someone has to settle this score.
As their eldest brother, I'll have to settle all this myself.
The resolute killing caused his true energy to condense into a thick layer of energy shield on his body.
He abandoned his defenses on the left and right flanks and rushed towards the door.
He didn't ask to live, he only wanted the old man inside the door to die with him.
This do-or-die spirit made him even faster than before.
The male shadow guard drew his long sword and moved sideways to block the doorway.
Zong Sha didn't slow down; he directly punched the blade.
The two streams of true energy collided, and the impact shook the nearby pillars, causing several cracks to appear, with wood chips falling down in a flurry.
After exchanging blows, the male shadow guard took a half step back, his blade bending dramatically from the impact, and the stone slab beneath his feet was also dented.
Zong Sha didn't have time to deliver a second punch.
At that moment, the female shadow guard pressed up from behind and chopped down hard with her hand, striking him squarely on the back of the neck.
A grinding sound came from his neck bones. Zong Sha stumbled forward a step, but didn't fall.
He endured the excruciating pain in the back of his neck and lifted his right foot.
Keep going.
We're not far away now.
If we can break through that door, we'll be less than three feet away from Yiyang.
If I can get close enough, I can even use my self-destructing true energy to take him down with me.
As soon as he landed his third step, two long swords pierced his body simultaneously.
The female shadow guard's knife pierced through her back and chest cavity, the tip of the knife protruding from her chest, leaving a trail of blood droplets.
The male shadow guard's knife pierced the abdomen from the front, severing the lumbar vertebrae, and the handle struck the abdominal muscles directly.
The pierced body of the assassin was completely frozen in place.
He is now four steps away from the wooden door.
But it could no longer move forward.
He lowered his head and glanced at the bloodied tip of the knife protruding from his chest.
Large gulps of blood and froth surged up from his throat, dripping down his chin onto the blue bricks and forming a small puddle.
Those two unruly eyes were fixed on the wooden plank in front of them.
My thigh muscles twitched a few times, my bones were completely powerless, and my entire lower body had lost all feeling.
He tried to take one last step forward, using all his inner strength, but he couldn't even lift his heel.
The male shadow guard flipped his wrist. Both knives were pulled away simultaneously, drawing out a large amount of blood.
Without the support of internal energy, the blood from the wound gushed out like water bursting through a dam.
Zong Sha lost his balance and fell forward, lying face down on the floor with his head down facing the door.
He scratched at the bluestone slab with his right knuckles twice, and his fingernail broke off at the root and remained in the crack.
His lips opened and closed several times, but no word came out, and finally he fell silent. His eyes were fixed on the sliver of light leaking through the crack in the door; his life had been completely extinguished.
The backyard fell completely quiet.
Inside the wooden door, Yi Yang sat cross-legged on a futon.
From the moment he leaped over the wall to the moment the two shadow guards intercepted him, everything outside was within his perception.
Even without opening his eyes, his mental energy, combined with the perception network of the True Qi Realm, allowed him to clearly perceive the changes in the Qi in the courtyard.
The formation of the air wall, the impact of the fists, the cutting trajectory of the longsword—all the combat information formed a three-dimensional picture in Yi Yang's mind.
The true qi of these two shadow guards was extremely pure, even more refined than his own, who had only recently broken through.
Only after confirming that the murderous aura had completely dissipated did Yi Yang open his eyes and exhale the stale air from his chest.
He stood up, walked behind the door, and pulled away the crossbar.
Open the door.
The night wind, carrying a strong smell of blood, poured into the room.
The ground was littered with shattered bluestone bricks, broken pillars, and a corpse lying four steps away from the door. The blood from the massacre had stained most of the surrounding floor tiles red.
The two shadow guards had already sheathed their swords and stood on either side of the corpse, their gazes turned to Yi Yang.
The male bodyguard clasped his hands in a fist salute and said in a flat voice, "Director Yi, mission accomplished."
Seeing that the other party said this, Yi Yang nodded.
Knowing that the other party was just being polite, and that his apparent Inner Qi Realm strength was not enough to command him.
But now this whole thing is over.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Yi Yang's thoughts drifted back to the previous night.
Last night, he led his patrolmen to wipe out all the major forces in White Fish City, and with Zhou Xiong, who was barely alive, in his hand, he suppressed all the troublemakers, establishing his absolute rule in this city.
After dealing with that mess, he had just stepped into the backyard of the Sky Patrol Office when he saw the two people standing there.
Yi Yang's hand was pressed directly on the hilt of the Tiger Roar Blade.
But the two men didn't hide; they simply pulled out the waist token of the Youquan Division and handed it over.
"Lord Yan received a secret letter from the Director and set off overnight for the southern region of Bailongze. The incense master will be dealt with personally by you, sir." These were the first words spoken by the male shadow guard last night.
The second sentence followed immediately: "The master left the two of us in White Fish City to assist the director in cleaning up the mess."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yang immediately put them to use.
The fact that Yan Wuyuan was able to rush over immediately after receiving the letter proves that Bailongze is extremely involved, even related to the plans of high-level forces.
As for the mess before them, Yi Yang sealed off the villas of the Wei family and Ye Jin, affixed the seals of the Sky Patrol Bureau, and deliberately forced Zong to come to their door.
He knew that once Zong Sha discovered his accomplices had been wiped out, he would inevitably seek revenge in his rage. So he sat inside the house as a live target, while two True Qi Realm killing formations were set up outside.
Even if Zong Sha has extraordinary abilities, he must die tonight.
Now that Zong has been killed, the cancer within White Fish City has been basically eradicated.
Even the gangs that were jumping up and down all quieted down.
But Yi Yang knew in his heart that the real battle was not in White Fish City, but in White Dragon Marsh.
What about Yan Wuyuan?
That Nine Evil Sect leader, who was at the True Qi Realm, held a Water Eye Formation that drained people's life essence; he must have many trump cards up his sleeve.
With the two monsters clashing, things are unlikely to be peaceful on Bailongze's side.
Given the strength of the sect leader, even if Yan Wuyuan was prepared, she might not be able to escape unscathed. In a battle of this level, the slightest misstep could result in mutual destruction.
Yi Yang stepped out of the room, his boots landing on the clean blue bricks, avoiding the bloodstains on the ground, and said:
"Thank you both for your hard work."
