A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1030: Successful execution, anti-Qing and restoration of Ming! (Please subscribe!)
Most executioners call themselves members of the criminal sect. Where there is a sect, there naturally comes a tradition and rules.

One of the rules of the criminal system is that when executing a beheading, the executioner's sword will not fall until the order arrow hits the ground.

The reason is very simple. Once the imperial order is issued, it means that the imperial law requires killing. The executioner is only the person who carries out the execution with the knife. Not to mention that he is not involved in cause and effect, he also avoids a lot of bad luck.

From a psychological perspective, it can be used as a reason to comfort oneself and reduce one's psychological burden. From a metaphysical perspective, if the murdered prisoner suffered any injustice and turned into an evil ghost and wanted to seek revenge, then the injustice should be blamed on the perpetrator and the executioner cannot be blamed.

More importantly, as long as the executioner abides by the rules, even if someone wants to avenge these death row prisoners, according to the rules of the underworld, they will not cause trouble for the executioner.

When Xu Baijiu shouted that it was noon, the executioner had already raised his sword, but because the command arrow thrown by Hua Shier was nailed to the city wall by an iron arrow, the sword did not fall.

This time, Hua Shier threw down more than a dozen command arrows at the same time. In the eyes of others, Tang Long and the other two were doomed to die. Even Tang Long himself closed his eyes.

More than a dozen command arrows fell to the ground, and three executioners from the government office raised their swords high. The sword lights were dazzling in the midday sun, and they swung them down.

Just as Hua Shier threw out the command arrow, one of the people holding Yu Xiulian hostage raised an iron bow and shot out three arrows.

Whoosh whoosh!
With the sound of breaking through the air, three iron arrows accurately hit the swords of the three executioners.

Dangdang Dangdang!
There were three loud noises of metal collision. Although the swords were not broken, the force carried by the iron arrows successfully made the three swords fall out of the hands.

At this moment, people on and off the city walls all felt the ground shaking under their feet. The next moment, fireworks shot up into the sky in the distance, followed by ten consecutive explosions. It was the "Ten Flying Bangs", a signal released by the government's secret sentry, indicating that the enemy was attacking in large numbers.

Immediately afterwards, from the southwest and northwest directions, "Ten Flying Bangs" also rose into the sky, proving that there were also a large number of enemies on both sides.

Dust rose in the distance. The people on the city wall saw three horse teams galloping in from three directions. Then they heard someone shouting in the distance:

"The seventy-two earthly demons are here, who dares to hurt my brothers and sisters!"

Someone from the southwest horse team also shouted: "Forty thieves, the sword fairy is here!"

The horse team in the northwest was not willing to be left out either: "The clouds are coming in the northwest!"

Yu Jiaolong picked up the sword and was about to settle the score with Li Mubai and Hua Twelve, but because of an emergency, she was standing there. When she heard Bantianyun's name, her expression moved and she showed joy.

Xu Baijiu shouted down from the tower: "The horse bandits are coming, hurry into the city, stay at home and don't come out, hurry into the city, the horse bandits are coming!"

In fact, he didn't even need to shout. When the people below the city heard the names of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends, they started to riot again. No one dared to stay outside the city. Even the bailiffs guarding the prisoners at the execution ground and the three executioners joined the crowd and ran into the city.

Mo Zai Ti originally didn't want to leave, but was dragged by her brother and followed the crowd into the city gate with a group of people from the acrobatic troupe.

After entering the city, Mo Zai Ti couldn't help but look in the direction of the city wall. She was worried about Hua Shier's safety. But just because of this glance, she found that an old woman was flying up and flying to the city wall using the same light skills as the two people before.

Mo Zaiti suddenly felt something was wrong. The old woman's light skills were exactly the same as those used by Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong before. They must have the same origin, which meant that the old woman must be an accomplice of one of the former two.

Why didn't this old woman take action before, but now she is sneaking onto the city wall from inside the city? What is she trying to do?
The image of Hua Twelve suddenly appeared in Mo Zai Ti's mind. He suddenly shook off his hand, broke free from his brother Mo Zai Ti's pull, and ran towards the city wall.

Outside the city, ordinary people who came to watch the fun were running into the city, just like the waves washing away the sand, revealing the group of chivalrous men recruited by Li Mubai.

When these people realized they were exposed, they drew their weapons and looked at the horsemen coming towards them with nervous and cautious expressions.

The three horse teams came very quickly and reached the city in the blink of an eye. The middle team had the largest number of people, about sixty or seventy, led by a bald old man.

There were more than thirty horsemen coming from the southwest, led by a man in his thirties.

The cavalry in the northwest had the smallest number of people, only a dozen or so, led by a young man in his twenties with a look of recklessness on his face.

The man on the southwest horse team clasped his fists towards the bald old man:

"The Immortal of One Sword greets the Great Master!"

The young man on the northwest horse team first waved towards the top of the city wall: "Jiaolong, I'm Xiaohu, I'm here to take you back!"

Then he smiled and bowed to the bald old man and Yidaoxian:
"Bantian Yunluo Xiaohu, nice to meet you two bosses. That's my woman, please show some mercy!"

The bald old man nodded indifferently to the two of them: "Okay!"

Yu Jiaolong stamped her feet on the top of the city wall and shouted at Luo Xiaohu:
"Who wants to go back with you? Help me catch this bastard official. I want to know the whereabouts of my father!"

Luo Xiaohu smiled and said, "Wait a minute. We are an alliance of three families, and we respect the Grand Master. Don't be anxious."

Li Mubai on the city wall kept staring at Yidaoxian:
"Yidaoxian, despicable!" What he was talking about was naturally the kidnapping of Yu Xiulian.

Yidaoxian laughed loudly: "Mr. Li, when you were chasing me for thousands of miles, did you ever think that this day would come?"

The bald old man pointed at Tang Long and the other two, and immediately four men rode forward to rescue them.

Hua Twelve said calmly from the top of the city wall: "Shoot!"

More than thirty archers shot arrows at the same time, bringing Tang Long and his two companions and the four people who went to rescue them into the attack range.

The four men on horseback waved their weapons to block the arrows, and actually blocked more than thirty arrows. However, the rain of arrows from the top of the city continued, and they had no time to save people!

When the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends saw this scene, several more horses rushed out to help rescue people, and then they brought Tang Long and the other two back.

Bao Longxing just said it was a pity: "I didn't shoot it, and the person ran away!"

Hua Twelve smiled faintly: "Why rush? None of them can escape!"

The bald old man glanced at Tang Long, then turned to look at Hua Twelve and suddenly shouted:

"No one can hurt my people, no one!"

Hua Twelve scratched his ears and said, "Where did this donkey come from? It's time to breed. It's making quite a noise!"

Bao Longxing laughed loudly and shouted to the bald old man: "Bald, I happen to know a female donkey. Do you want me to introduce her to you?"

Bao Youwei: "Uncle Thirteen, how do you know the donkey?"

Bao Longxing: “.”

When the 72 Earthly Fiends heard their leader being insulted, they shouted and cursed:

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

"kill him!"

"Idiots!" Hua Shier raised his middle finger to these people!

Bao Longxing felt the fierce look in the eyes of those gangsters, and he felt a little scared, hiding behind Hua Twelve:
"Brother, can you protect me?"

Hua Twelve was amused by this guy's cowardly look: "We are sworn brothers. If I can't protect you, we can die on the same day of the same month of the same year. What's the big deal!"

When he said this, Bao Longxing's voice trembled: "It's just an oath, you take it seriously."

The bald old man looked at Hua Twelve coldly, then turned to Li Mubai and said:
"Master Li, go and capture the dog official and hand him over to me, and I will release Lady Yu. What do you think?"

On the tower, Bao Longxing pointed at Lei Bao standing beside him and said, "He said you are a dog official!

Hua Twelve: "I definitely can't stand it!"

Lei Bao: “.” No wonder these two can become sworn brothers, tut!
Yidaoxian rode his horse to Yu Xiulian's side, drew out his long sword and raised it high, as if he was about to chop:
"Didn't you hear what the Great Master said, Li Mubai?"

Yu Xiulian shouted, "Kill him if you want, Mu Bai, do whatever you want, don't worry about me!"

Li Mubai turned to look at Hua Twelve, not knowing whether he should take action.

Yu Jiaolong shouted, "He is a fake imperial envoy, Li Mubai, why are you hesitating?"

Li Mubai had just heard what Yu Jiaolong said, and realized that this person seemed to be Yu Rui's daughter. He pointed his sword at Hua Twelve;
"Who are you?"

Hua Shier put away the imperial edict, took out a Jinyiwei token, and shouted loudly to the people in and outside the city: "Jinyiwei is investigating the case, and those who resist will die!"

Xu Baijiu, Bao Longxing and others were all confused. Here they come again!

Lei Bao: “Roar~!”

Bao Longxing and the others looked at him, somewhat puzzled. Lei Bao: "I have long wanted to join the Jinyiwei. This is so impressive!"

Li Mubai's eyes turned cold; "So he's a traitor!"

He stepped forward and headed towards Hua Twelve, obviously wanting to capture him.

The three waves of horse bandits outside the city, as well as the gangsters recruited by Li Mubai, all watched this scene quietly.

Hua Shier kicked Lei Bao on the butt: "Go ahead!"

Lei Bao passively rushed towards Li Mubai; "Master Li, calm down."

"Get out of here!" Li Mubai swept the long knife in Lei Bao's hand with a sword flower, then kicked him in the waist to kick him away, and flashed past Hua Twelve.

Just as the two of them took over, someone suddenly shouted from the roof of the tower:
"careful!"

Then they heard the sound of a mechanism, and from above Hua Twelve and Li Mubai, silver needles like a rain of pear blossoms shot down on their heads.

When Li Mubai heard the reminder, he reacted immediately. The Qingming Sword turned into a sword curtain, clanging and blocking all the steel needles shot at him.

Hua Twelve waved his sleeves, sweeping away all the silver needles that were shot at him, and said with some disappointment:
"I've been lurking for a long time, and I thought there was some trick going on, but it turns out it was a hidden weapon!"

He had noticed that there were two people hiding on the roof of the city wall, one in front and one behind, but he didn't expect that one of them would speak out to remind him.

The person who reminded him was naturally Mo Zai Ti. Although she was an acrobat, she also knew some tricks. She followed the blue-eyed fox and used the gecko wall-climbing technique to climb up the city wall. She lay on the roof of the city wall and saw the blue-eyed fox lying on the eaves, pointing his cane at the bottom. She thought he was going to plot against Hua Twelve, so she spoke out to remind him.

The target of the blue-eyed fox was actually Li Mubai. It wanted to take advantage of the fact that the latter was fighting Hua Twelve and could not be distracted to launch a sudden attack with the Nine-Revolution Purple Yin Needle.

But Mo Zaizhi didn't wrongly accuse her, because if she took action at this time, she would inevitably include Hua Shier and others in the attack range of the hidden weapons.

After Mo Zai reminded the police, he took out two throwing knives from his waist and threw them at the green-eyed fox.

The Jade Eyed Fox's Nine-turn Purple Yin Needle shot into the air, failing to injure the enemy. He was already furious, and when he saw the flying knife coming, he used his cane to block it and shouted:
"Slut, you're ruining my business!"

She grabbed a tile and threw it at Mo Zaiti. Mo Zaiti learned acrobatics by dodging flying knives. Although the tile thrown by the blue-eyed fox was extremely fast, she rolled on the ground and dodged it.

But when she rolled on the roof, she lost her balance and rolled down from the roof.

When Mo Zaiti fell, the blue-eyed fox also jumped up from the eaves. While in the air, he pointed his cane at Li Mubai and pulled the trigger again, launching a second attack.

A series of silver needles were shot out, and Li Mubai waved a row of sword curtains to block all the silver needles. The blue-eyed fox was unsuccessful again.

Hua Twelve saw Mo Zaiti at a glance and hugged her with both hands: "Why is it you?"

Mo Zaitian was still in shock, but found himself in Hua Twelve's arms. He felt that happiness came too suddenly, and said in surprise: "You, I'm glad you're okay!"

Hua Twelve smiled and put it aside: "I'll talk to you later. I'll take care of those people first!"

Turning around, he saw that the attack of the blue-eyed fox had failed again, and it was already fighting with Li Mubai.

Hua Twelve was just waiting for everyone to gather. Now that he felt it was almost time, he didn't plan to play any more. He shook his shoulders, twisted his neck, and said loudly:

"I am going to fight you all alone. Are you ready?"

Using long tones to draw out the most impressive effect, he grabbed a handful of talismans from the void, slapped them on his chest, contaminated them with his own aura, and then scattered them out casually.

The next moment, those talismans popped in the air and transformed into hundreds of identical Hua Twelve, rushing towards the bandits under the city.

"Can you stop my clone who has one tenth of my power?"

Those talismans were the clone talismans he got in "The Decisive Battle, Shushan World". With one of these talismans, he could transform into another self. Although the clone had no magic power, its strength and speed were the same as the original self.

After Hua Shier obtained the talisman, he found that as his strength increased and his physique grew, more and more mana was consumed to activate the talisman. He made improvements and optimized the talisman so that it could be activated with a small amount of force. However, the power of the clone also decreased as the force applied during activation decreased.

This allows him to use very little magic power to activate more talismans, just like this time he activated a hundred clone talismans at once, creating a hundred clones, and each clone has only one tenth of his power.

But this is enough. Hua Twelve currently has a strength of 180,000 kilograms under normal circumstances, and one tenth of that is 18,000 kilograms. How can these stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs under the city stop him?
What's more, his clones outnumber the opponent's and they are fighting in a group.

The bald leader of the 72 evil spirits under the city had a cold look in his eyes: "It turns out to be a demon!" He drew out his long sword: "Kill!"

Yidaoxian also pointed his sword and said, "Kill!"

Luo Xiaohu also rode forward: "Xiaolong, here I come!"

The moment the three waves of bandits met Hua's 12th clone, bang bang bang, blood mist splashed, and the bandits in the front were beaten to pieces by the clone's fists.

Chopping melons and vegetables like chopping melons and vegetables, without stopping.

Beating people is like walking, killing people is like cutting grass!

Luo Xiaohu was punched in the chest, as if hit by a cannonball. His body was torn into pieces and exploded directly on the horse's back.

"Xiao Hu!" Yu Jiaolong couldn't believe this scene and felt like she was struck by lightning.

The two clones attacked the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends. The bald leader, relying on his uncanny kung fu that made him invulnerable to swords and spears, did not advance but retreated. He jumped off his horse and shouted:

"Death."

He suddenly threw a punch, which collided with the fist of one of the clones. The clone's shoulder shook, and the Disha Sect Leader flew back and hit his horse, breaking his own horse's sternum.

The Disha Cult leader's arm, which was invulnerable to swords and guns, exploded from the forearm down, leaving him instantly disabled. He spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to get up, but another clone caught up with him and kicked him in the head.

With a bang, peach blossoms bloom all over the sky!

When he died, Tang Long and Shisan Niang were all beaten to death by Hua Twelve's clones.

It happened in a flash. From the time Hua Twelve used the clone talisman, only a dozen breaths passed, and the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, forty great thieves, and Ban Tianyun were all wiped out!
"Monster, monster!"

Li Mubai was shocked beyond words. He felt that even if he was the best in the world, he would not get any good results if he met those clones. He believed that the reason why those clones were so powerful was because of the evil magic, so he planned to capture the leader first. He used his lightness skills and pounced on Hua Twelve again, wanting to kill the evildoer with one sword.

Hua Twelve sneered, stretched out his left hand and pinched it with two fingers, and the Qingming sword could not move forward any further. No matter how hard Li Mubai tried, he could not make the sword move forward even a little bit.

"That's enough, Li Daxie!"

After Hua Twelve taunted him, he twisted the finger that was holding the tip of the sword, and Li Mubai could no longer hold the sword, which slipped out of his hand. He pushed his arm forward, and the hilt of the sword hit the latter's chest. Li Mubai instantly vomited blood and flew backwards.

"Mu Bai!"

All the people who held Yu Xiulian hostage were killed by Hua Shier's clone. As soon as she escaped, she saw Li Mubai vomiting blood and injured, so she quickly used her lightness skills to fly to the top of the city wall.

At this time, the only people still standing under the city were the chivalrous men recruited by Li Mubai. These people were already stunned by what they saw.

Hua Twelve looked at them calmly: "Do you also have any problem with my Jinyiwei?"

Those people trembled suddenly and threw away their weapons. An old monk suddenly raised his arm and said: "Anti-Qing, Restore Ming! Anti-Qing, Restore Ming!"

Others followed suit and shouted: "Overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming! Overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming!"

He was afraid that if he shouted too slowly, he would be beaten to death by this devil who called himself the Imperial Guard.

Hua Shier waved his hand and said, "Today's execution was a complete success. Bring all the survivors back to the government office. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
