Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 604 Fighting
Luo Ji and Sun Jing heard this but did not dare to agree.

Although Luo Ji was not Gao Qiu's confidant, he did not dare to joke with Gao Lian's life.

The two of them had no choice but to run back to the city to discuss the matter with Gao Lian.

A noble angel has fallen into such a state.

However, Gao Lian did not refuse outright as Luo Ji and Sun Jing had said, but asked, "Does Zhao Ze really want to compete with me in Taoism?"

Seeing that both of them nodded affirmatively, Gao Lian asked, "Do you have any idea of ​​how to fight?"

Sun Jing heard Gao Lian was about to accept the challenge, so he stopped him and said, "Sir, since Sir Zhao Anfu dares to challenge you to a fight, he must be sure of it. You can't accept the challenge."

Gao Lian was furious when he heard this and said, "He has only been practicing Taoism for a few days, how can he compare to me?"

Sun Jing said: "This..."

Luo Ji also advised: "Governor, be careful and you will never give up. There must be some way to appease the minister."

Gao Lian heard this and thought: "My brother Gao Rang's magic weapon must have been obtained by Zhao Ze. In addition to the [Soul Binding Golden Rope], I also have the [Beast Gathering Card] and [Tai'a Sword]. Although I don't have the [Soul Binding Golden Rope], I know how to get it, so I don't have to be afraid."

I am not afraid of other spells. The most powerful one, [Hun Hai Tian Luo], took me more than ten years to refine by taking the accumulated corpse qi from the celestial ghost constellation, using human blood to guide and condense it, and also finding a demon. This guy can't have learned it right away.

Although he has several magicians, I have never heard of this fellow knowing any magic. [Sheng Dongbin] What Wu Jiao has learned is nothing more than illusions such as flying sand and rolling stones and magic weapons. I have practiced Taoism for many years, so I naturally know them all.

Now this guy is determined to fight me, he must have some hidden card, the time is set by him, but how to fight is decided by me. It is better to fight under the city in front of the angels, if I win, I will take the opportunity to kill this guy, Liangshan has lost its backbone, and with the angels here, I don't think they dare to attack the city.

Without Zhao Ze, who has no children, Liangshan is just a pile of loose sand. With the merit of killing him and my brother's operation, the two routes of Jingdong should be under my control.

Besides, I have just learned the art of flying in the clouds, so if I want to escape, he can't stop me. Even if I lose, I can run back to the city with my back to the city gate without worrying about my life. At that time, I can pay more gold and silver, and it should be over.

Thinking of this, Gao Lian said: "Angel, if I don't respond, wouldn't it seem that my Gao family is afraid of him..."

Sun Jing interrupted hastily, "Governor, this is a Liangshan trick, how can we fight it?"

Afraid that Gao Lian didn't know, Sun Jing hurriedly said, "Sir, the commander has been paying attention to Liangshan for a long time, and has found out that this guy has many monks and Taoists. Although these people don't show up much and only live in Liangshan to practice Taoism, I have also found out the names of several of them."

"The most powerful one is Gongsun Sheng, the direct descendant of Erlong Mountain. There is also Qiao Daoqing, the Magic Lord, Fan Rui, the Devil King of Chaos, Wu Jiao, and others. They are all very famous. With these people working under him, how can he dare to take risks?"

Gao Lian heard this and hesitated for a moment before shouting, "Don't be afraid of him. If he wants to fight, then let him do what he wants. Since we have agreed to fight tomorrow, there is no need to choose another place. Let's fight under the city. The two angels can be witnesses."

Sun Jing wanted to persuade him again, but Gao Lian was already impatient and said, "The two angels just tell Zhao Ze outside the city that the fight will take place outside the city at noon tomorrow."

Sun Jing had no choice but to go out of the city with Luo Ji again to discuss with Zhao Ze.

After the agreement was reached, the city sent Yin Tianxi and his group out first. When Zhao Zhen saw them, he ordered them to be temporarily imprisoned until Chai Jin came back to deal with them.

On the second day, both sides rode forward as agreed. Luo Ji, Sun Jing and the imperial guards from Bian Jing were all looking out from the top of the city.

Gao Lian was seen wearing armor and carrying a sword, and he immediately mounted his horse and went out of the city, waiting for Zhao Zhen to arrive. Zhao Zhen rode the [Zhao Ye Jade Lion], wearing a fourth-level [Huo An Dao Robe with Small Gold Pattern] made of Huo An cloth, a fifth-level [Willow Leaf Bamboo Armor] underneath, a sixth-level [Li Guang Treasure Mirror] hidden on his chest, and a fourth-level [Three Yang Fire Ring] on his wrist.

The two men were fifty steps apart, and Zhao Zhen was the first to shout, "Gao Zhizhou, today we are fighting only to seek justice, and life and death are up to fate."

Gao Lian also shouted, "We've already signed the death warrant, why are you pretending to be so hypocritical?"

After saying this, he swung the Tai'a sword in his hand horizontally, piercing his left arm. Gao Lian lowered his head and took a sip of hot blood, then sprayed it towards the sky. A huge black gas formed in the air. The black gas was thicker than kiln smoke and smelled fishy. A mountain appeared in the black gas, pressing down on Zhao Zhen.

It was [Hun Hai Tian Luo], but Gao Lian had planned it long ago. He did not test it and just raised his hand to use his most powerful spell. If he could kill Zhao Ze, that would be the best. If Zhao Ze broke this spell, he would immediately use the spell of flying in the clouds and escape back to the city.

Zhao Zhen had received instructions from Gongsun Sheng long ago. He swung the [dirty bull whip] in his right hand repeatedly, chanted a spell, and swung out the [Soul-binding Golden Rope] in his left hand first.

The black air in the sky could not fall down amid the sound of the [dirty bull whip]. The [Soul-binding Golden Rope] had already turned into a golden light and bound Gao Lian.

Gao Lian sneered, chanted a spell, and the [Soul-Binding Golden Rope] fell into his hand.

He put the Soul Binding Golden Rope into his arms, muttered something, and shouted, "Get up!"

A black cloud rose under his feet, and the man gradually rose into the air, rising thirty or twenty feet in the air, and was seen disappearing in the black fog.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly shook the magic ring on his wrist, and a red light flew out, hitting Gao Lian in the sky. Gao Lian was hit and his body was unstable. Zhao Zhen then took out the [Li Guang Bao Jing] in his arms, and immediately red light shone in all directions, and flames flew across the sky. Not only did it burn away all the black air in the sky, but Gao Lian in the air was hit and fell from the sky.

Zhao Zhen was still not reassured, so he shook the [Three Yang Fire Ring] again, and another beam of red light shot out and smashed Gao Lian's head to pieces.

It happened so quickly that by the time Luo Ji and Sun Jing on the city wall reacted, Gao Lian had already been killed.

Sun Jing cried out in pain: "It's broken."

Luo Ji stretched out his right hand and shouted, "Spare his life!"

Zhao Zhen held up the magic mirror and magic ring in his hands and rode his horse forward.

He picked up Gao Lian's body with one hand and placed it on the [Dark Cloud Leopard] that Gao Lian was riding, then rode on the [Zhao Ye Jade Lion] and returned to the camp.

On the top of the city wall, all the soldiers watching the battle were speechless, and Luo Ji and Sun Jing looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sun Jing said: "What should we do?"

Luo Ji also smiled bitterly: "I have no choice but to report the truth to His Majesty and the Grand Marshal. Now they want the prefect's head back, and we will return to Bianjing immediately to plead guilty."

After hearing this, Sun Jing had no idea what to do, so he went down the city wall with Luo Ji and headed towards the Liangshan camp.

When they met again, Luo Ji was the first to speak: "Sir, since Magistrate Gao is dead, please return his body and let us return to the capital to report."
