Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

"It's the General of the Imperial Guard..."

"The one who fought the Germans... I heard he fled without a fight. This man was so fierce and imposing, but he's actually a cowardly coward."

"They're very good at bullying their own people, but they cower in front of foreigners. I can understand that."

Those around who recognized Zhuo Ertai suddenly realized what was happening.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ertai's eyebrows twitched wildly, and he almost wanted to turn his arrow around and shoot those gossiping people right through.

Has time really passed and times changed?

In the past, anyone who dared to speak so openly would have been feared being exterminated and their entire family wiped out.

His killing intent grew stronger, and as he watched Li Xin rush forward, a cold smile appeared on his face.

The 15-stone strong bow, empowered by the "Dragon Elephant Strength," possesses the destructive power of a siege crossbow.

This person is so ignorant; all he knows is to charge forward recklessly. Little does he know that the closer he gets, the harder it is for his own archery to defend against.

collapse……

Like a thunderclap.

When Li Xin rushed to within three zhang of him.

He released the bowstring.

The arrow shot towards Li Xin's chest in an instant.

A cold smile crept across Zhuo Ertai's lips.

He thought that with the arrow's power and speed, even if Xiang Yu were reborn or Lü Bu were reincarnated, they wouldn't be able to escape it.

In fact, Li Xin did not dodge at all.

He merely turned the blade of his gun slightly.

With a flick of the wrist.

The gun, which was pressed against his ribs, had turned like a python, drawing a fan-shaped barrier on the left and right sides of his body.

A fleeting glimpse of a fan appeared on the left.

With a whoosh, the arrow shot diagonally into the sky.

The right fan shape appeared, and they had already reached the front of Zhuoertai horse.

[The Heavenly King Holding an Umbrella]

Li Xin can now use a gun as he pleases.

All the spear techniques he learned and practiced were incredibly skillful, even when used casually.

The gun was deflected to the left and fired to the right, blocking the area in front of and to the sides.

This forced Zhuo Ertai to only parry, and he was unable to fire a second arrow.

He threw away his longbow, and just as he raised his golden hammer, Li Xin slashed it away with his spear.

Crackling sound...

Zhuo Ertai's entire body swelled up, and the golden light emanating from his body intensified.

The sound of bones cracking filled the air, but the horse beneath him was a step ahead, its four hooves broken, and it collapsed to the ground with a pitiful neigh.

He only fired two arrows and received one gunshot.

His eyes already showed a hint of confusion.

Li Xin charged and attacked simultaneously.

The gun barrel was pulled down with an overwhelming force, a force of over four thousand pounds.

The golden hammer in Zhuo Ertai's hand was slightly dented by the blow, and his bones and tendons were broken.

I felt weak and exhausted, my body was stiff and numb, and I almost couldn't hold the weapon in my hand.

"A defeated general dares to shout loudly?"

Li Xin sneered.

What "Buddha, Dragon, and Elephant"? Their arms weigh no more than two thousand jin.

With the blessing of Tantric Buddhist techniques, how dare you shout the name of the Dragon and Elephant with such little strength?

puff……

He flicked his wrist and thrust the gun, the tip of the gun opening into a circle the size of a bowl.

A glint of cold light pierced through.

A bloody hole was drilled right in the middle of Zhuoertai's throat.

Leaping backward to avoid the splattering blood, Li Xin sneered, "Nonsense."

……

Chapter 144 A Desperate Struggle

"General."

More than ten valiant riders behind him cried out in grief.

Before they could react, a figure leaped and charged, using the horse's back as a bridge, and with a few leaps, he charged and killed more than ten riders.

"Who else?"

Li Xin shouted loudly.

Look to the left.

But there was another person there, rushing towards them.

The newcomer was tall with long arms and legs, and was robust and strong. Although he was not riding a horse, he ran faster than a horse.

Running down the long street is like running through a forest or beside a great river.

He held a crescent-shaped dagger in each hand, and the painted decoration on his forehead shone brightly in the sunlight.

A strange, wild, and untamed force surged forth.

Even though he saw Zhuoertai die, there was no fear in his eyes.

It was as if a raging fire had been set ablaze, its malevolent aura soaring to the heavens.

“Naran Han, a disciple of the Changsheng Sect, has come to learn your spear technique.”

Although this person had a very rugged appearance, he spoke very politely.

Li Xin even suspected that even if the other party killed the person, they would still politely bury them.

"The first Baturu is a skilled wrestler of the imperial court, with extremely formidable martial prowess."

"Is he a successor of the Longevity Sect? He practices the Bashe Swallowing Elephant Technique, which gives him an enormous appetite and astonishing strength. Ordinary people are no match for him."

"It was this man who once competed with the Xingyi Palace master among the Six Masters. The two each had their own strengths and neither could gain the upper hand. He was truly a master."

"Wasn't this man supposed to be a fierce general guarding the Empress Dowager, a valiant member of the Wanfu Garden? How did he end up at the Ministry of War, intercepting and killing Li Xin?"

“Isn’t Zhuoertai also a fierce general? If he can come, then Yuan Han can naturally come too.”

Li Xin's trip was digging into the very foundation of the court, completely humiliating the imperial family.

If we ignore this, who will take the imperial court seriously from now on?

Therefore, they had no choice but to come…

"People from the Longevity Cult?"

Li Xin was curious and stared intently.

He had long known that there might be various unknown reasons why the foreigners from the eight countries in Beijing had not launched an attack.

However, the primary reason was undoubtedly the fear of skilled palace warriors.

Within the inner palace, especially in the Wanfu Wanshou Garden, there are a total of seven or eight powerful masters protecting the palace.

Among them, the most notorious are the Great Snow Mountain and the Longevity Sect.

One was revered as the state religion, and its influence and power were unparalleled in the world.

The other force, however, originated from the region between the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River, and their methods were unpredictable and difficult to fathom.

This sect reveres the Eternal Heaven and commands all things, including plants, insects, and beasts, as spirits. Their methods are bizarre and they are truly difficult to provoke.

Martial artists throughout history have always challenged and fought only with martial artists of the same origin, vying for victory or death.

But they were absolutely unwilling to confront those strange and bizarre methods.

There's no glory in winning.

Dying was incredibly frustrating...

The person in front of him leaped and bounded like a long snake skimming the ground.

Even her eyes turned yellowish-orange.

His pupils were vertically oriented... When the curved blade slashed, it was as bright as the moon in late autumn.

Just got close.

Not only Li Xin.

At the same time, the onlookers also experienced a slight tremor in their minds and a blur before their eyes.

It was like seeing a giant, black python, slithering and spewing flames and poisonous smoke.

The snake extended its jagged fangs and swallowed itself whole.

Before the fight even started, my eyes were already filled with illusions.

This was not the first time Li Xin had seen this tactic.

Every time I see it, I am filled with emotion.

As the saying goes, even a wrecked ship has three thousand nails.

These sects were all very famous in ancient myths and legends.

However, it has been gradually lost since modern times.

His skill has long been known as a trick to deceive and charlatan.

But Li Xin only understood when he faced it.

This isn't some kind of mystical trick; the fact that few people know how to use it doesn't mean it's useless.

Just like now, as the giant black python bit down, Li Xin felt a wave of dizziness.

It felt like a needle piercing deep into my mind, causing my whole body to tremble with pain.

Just then, the curved blade slashed down.

The burly man's braid flew in the air, and before him shone the full moon.

A cold, sharp aura had already slashed diagonally towards his chest.

Li Xin retreated to the side, his spear whistling and spinning between his elbows, shaking off the full moon. At the same time, he felt his arm sink slightly, and a streak of cold light slashed after him, already reaching his left side.

Instead of retreating, he charged forward.

Press both hands on the gun, and press down on the butt.

He firmly pinned the opponent's twin swords below, slightly lowered his waist and hips, and thrust out with his spear.

call out……

The spear blade whistled through the wind, a point of cold light piercing towards Yuan Han's chest.

The twin crescent blades flashed, locking onto the spear.

Immediately afterwards, the blade flashed lightly, like fluttering colorful butterflies, slashing in an interlacing pattern from the outside in.

They sometimes separate and sometimes reunite, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin's figure, which was moving rapidly outwards, suddenly changed direction and took a step back.
