Knife splashing

Chapter 589: Bloody Fight on the Long Street

"Quickly open!"

The bloody Nuo master Badeza warned with an angry roar.

At this moment, his head was buzzing.

The heavily-armored black-feathered guard of the King of Shu is their trump card. They have been trained in secret until a big event is about to happen, and then they are allowed to show up to maintain order.

The main target of this group of people is the people from the martial arts world.

Rely on equipment advantage to crush the enemy.

Of course, dealing with the army is far from enough. From the very beginning, their plan did not intend to confront the imperial army.

Who would have thought that the other party would also use firearms.

Fire the Tiger Cannon using human power.

Could it be a monster?
boom!
Before he could think about it, Wu Ba opened fire.

This Tiger Cannon can also fire lead bullets and fragmentation pellets. One has a long range and the other has a large coverage area, so their power should not be underestimated.

When Sharifei and his men arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the battle had already ended. However, because the Tiger Cannon was too heavy, the garrison soldiers had no time to move it, so they had to retrieve it.

This thing was originally made by the Tiansheng Sect at a huge expense. After the Shu Palace obtained it, it was reinforced to make it even more powerful.

It was loaded with shotgun shells.

Accompanied by a huge roar, flames several meters long gushed out, smoke billowed, and dense bullets whizzed out.

The entire street was covered and bricks and tiles were exploded.

Puff puff!
The heavy armor of these Black Feather Guards was torn apart as if it were made of paper. Some were broken into two pieces, and some were torn into pieces.

The sky was filled with blood mist, blasting out dazzling red plum blossoms on the snow.

After the smoke cleared, only a mess remained.

The few Black Feather Guards who were still alive could not even stand up. They rolled in a pile of blood and mud, groaning, exhaling more than inhaling.

It was already past noon.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, most people stayed at home, and even those who had gone out to participate in the "God of Joy Parade" had returned.

Most of the people living in this area are dignitaries.

The continuous sound of gunfire and the mobilization of troops from the garrison had frightened them into hiding in the backyard.

The roar of the Tiger Cannon made them even more panicked.

"Mom!"

On the second floor of a teahouse in the distance, the shopkeeper who was watching the excitement turned pale, exclaimed, and slammed the window shut.

The wealthy people in the surrounding mansions ran out through the back door in panic with their servants.

The entire street had been cleared and Wu Ba was nowhere to be seen. It was the powerful recoil of the Tiger Cannon that blew him away and directly knocked down half of the wall behind him.

Fortunately, this guy had thick skin and was not afraid. Instead, he was aroused by his ferocity. He laughed loudly and continued to load the Tiger Cannon.

"court death!"

The Blood Nuo Master had a ferocious face and bloodshot eyes. He held a blood-red knife in his hand. He leaped and fell from the roof wrapped in blood mist.

It can be said that the mission has failed with heavy losses.

But the bloody Nuo master Badeza still smelled a glimmer of opportunity.

Their troops still have the advantage. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Chengdu, rushing here.

As long as we kill the savage holding the Tiger Cannon, with the advantage of numbers and a volley of gunfire, no one will be able to escape.

These masters in front of us are the biggest hidden danger.

As long as we kill them, any price will be worth it.

Li Yan naturally saw his intention.

"Take care of this senior!"

He was wrapped in black mist. He grabbed the dying Grandma Jin and threw her to Lu San behind him, then jumped out.

At this moment, Li Yan was blessed with the power of the Eight Outer Altar Gods and used the Soul-Catching Rope as armor. Whether in terms of strength, speed, or the evil spirit wrapped around his body, he was like a ghost or god.

He arrived first after coming later, wrapped in black mist and rising into the sky, directly blocking the Blood Nuo Master Badeza, and raised the Dragon-Slaying Dust-Breaking Sword in his hand.

Sensing the murderous intent, Master Xue Nuo swung his sword to block.

The Duanchen Sword collided with the Blood-colored Sword, making a roar, but was actually blocked.

The real power of this Dragon-Slaying and Dust-Breaking Sword lies in the addition of thunder magic. In order to maintain his strength for a long battle, Li Yan did not use thunder magic.

Even so, the blood mist covering the Blood Nuo Master was defeated, his face was hideous, veins on his forehead were bulging, and his whole body was trembling.

Seeing that he was exhausted, Li Yan took the opportunity to kick him in the heart.

Bang!
The Blood Nuo Master flew backwards and hit a wooden pillar outside the inn behind him. The broken pillar fell down along with bricks and tiles.

But something that surprised Li Yan happened.

With this kick from him, even a tiger could be killed.

But the Blood Nuo Master pushed aside the broken tiles, stood up suddenly, his face flushed red, and black blood kept flowing out of his mouth.

Although he looked disheveled, he had regained some spirit.

Li Yan was a little surprised when he saw it.

This old demon is worthy of being the number one evil cultivator in the Shu Palace. He can actually control the blood in his body and expel the dirty blood in an instant.

It's a kind of alternative recovery method.

Moreover, he was wearing some powerful magical weapon.

"Senior Ba, don't get close to him!"

Seeing Li Yan covered in black mist, Situ Qian's eyes were full of fear and he recalled bad memories.

The mourning-dress Hua Dan Bai Qihong was considered useless, possessed by the Bloody Virgin Mary, and it would take at least several months for her to recover, so she was secretly sent away by him.

"Mind yourself!"

The bloody Nuo master Badeza roared impatiently.

Some time ago, he almost killed Cheng Jianxian, whose cultivation was declining. All the bad temper he had accumulated over the years was released in one go, and he was full of vigor and vitality.

I didn't expect to be defeated here.

Thinking of this, the old devil grabbed his old black clothes and tore them to pieces, revealing his naked upper body.

When everyone saw it, they immediately gasped.

I saw that the old demon's body was covered with gray armor, piece by piece, outlining the shape of his muscles, as if leather armor was sewn onto his flesh.

Not only that, there was also a strange oil painting on the front and back of the chest, with five hideous-looking immortal officials in red robes standing on the coffin.

There was a sunken footprint on his chest, which was left by Li Yan just now, but at this moment it was slowly expanding and gradually recovering.

What they didn't know was that this thing was the Blood Nuo Master's most precious treasure, called the Plague God's Leather Armor, which was made from the skin of a person who died suddenly, and was painted with the "Five Plagues Funeral Picture".

The Tujia villages that were destroyed that year, regardless of gender, age or status, were all covered in layers of armor, looking like shells.

"Doji Tashi, help me!"

The old demon roared and cut his palm with a bloody knife.

The Black Sect Lama at the back suddenly turned around, took off his robe and hung it upside down. There was a huge thangka embroidered on the back:
Two skeletons wearing bone crowns, holding magical instruments, surrounded by flames, and under their feet were densely packed evil spirits...

Lord of the Cemetery!

Li Yan thought to himself that something was not good, and without caring about the soldiers who were regrouping in the distance, he turned into a ball of black mist and whistled out.

However, it was still a little late.

But the Black Sect Lama Dorje Tashi was seen shaking the prayer wheel and muttering something. A thick evil aura flowed out like a waterfall and poured into the Blood Nuo Master.

The evil spirit was cold and gloomy, and ice and frost were condensing madly around it.

At the same time, a fierce bloody smell rose up.

boom!
Just as Li Yan was about to get close, a blood shadow broke through the ice and pounced directly towards Li Yan.

Bang bang bang!
Two clouds of fog, one black and one red, collided wildly on the street, with strong winds howling around them. Wherever they passed, the walls collapsed.

The wind and snow blew all over the ground, making it impossible for the soldiers to open their eyes.

The two of them fought on equal terms!
On the other side, Situ Qian was also not idle, and was fighting with his adoptive father Situ Bo.

What both of them learned was the sorcery "Bai Xiang Pu" from the late Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, Situ Bo's head shook, and the Nuo mask of Guan Gong appeared on his face, with a red face and long beard. As he galloped and leaped, the Guandao in his hand rolled up the flying snow, and murderous aura rose.

Situ Qian had just participated in the "Happy God Tour", and he was also dressed as Guan Gong, wielding a long sword, and his momentum was no less.

Situ Bo's phoenix eyes widened angrily, his face red and menacing, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade clanged to the ground and rang, "You traitor, you have no respect for the heavens, the earth, and your parents, and you have no concern for the people. You are disloyal and unfilial, and you are worse than pigs and dogs!"

He is righteous, powerful, and merciless.

He had a red face and a long beard, and his Qinglong sword dragged three inches on the ground. He waded through the mud and crushed the snow. He dragged the sword to cut the waves, and the back of the sword was as bright as the moon.

Situ Qian was no less capable than others. Although he had one leg disabled and it was reattached by Nie Sangu using a mechanical prosthesis, making it a little less flexible, he was young and strong.

He dodged and stepped back, and his sword moved sideways and swung seven inches. At the moment when the sword spine collided with the knife guard, he shook his wrist lightly and easily lifted the Guandao away.

"Hahaha, what a joke!"

Situ Qian gritted his teeth and said, "You old fool, you once left a name in the martial arts world and enjoyed a glorious time, but now you are old and have no strength, yet you want me to learn loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. You will be a coward for the rest of your life."

"My father's fault was not that he followed the ghost troupe, but that he was not strong enough!"

The two men had new and old hatreds, and both wanted to kill each other.

"Boy, you are strong?!"

A cold female voice sounded nearby.

It was the other people from Zhulin Liuxian who came to help.

Tea Master Liang Yu shook her sleeves, and a cup of tea suddenly appeared in her palm. She used a hidden weapon technique and poured it out directly.

The aroma of tea wafted in the air, but Situ Qian's expression changed and he quickly stepped back, only to see the tea spilled on the ground and the snow quickly turned black.

"Hahaha…"

Before he could stand firm, an old voice sounded.

But a blind old man jumped down, squatted, sat in the air, and put his erhu on his legs. "What's the use of being strong? After all, you are just a handful of yellow earth, nameless in the world~"

He spoke with a theatrical voice and pulled the bowstring in his hand, creating visible ripples that split the flying snow and headed straight for Situ Qianmianmen.

This old man was none other than Yue Saner, the "Earth Listening String" among the Six Immortals in the Bamboo Grove.

Seeing the six people joining forces, Situ Qian knew he was no match for them, so he jumped up, turned around and ran away, shouting angrily: "Playing with the number of people? Shoot them quickly and kill them!"

However, in the distance, the soldiers of the garrison had already gathered, raised their flintlock rifles, and formed a three-row formation.

Bang bang bang!
The soldiers of the garrison pulled the trigger one after another.

Zhu Lin Liu Xian jumped sideways and climbed over the wall to avoid the attack.

For a moment, the wall was covered with dirt and rocks, and was full of holes.

"Old fool!"

When Situ Qian saw a few people dodge, his head shook and his facial expression suddenly changed, transforming into the appearance of Zhong Kui, preparing to chant a spell.

But as soon as he chanted the spell, he felt a strong sense of alarm in his heart. He jumped up without hesitation, smashed the wall, and rushed into a nearby shop.

boom!
There was a loud noise and smoke filled the air.

But it was Sharifei who was squatting on the roof and shooting.

Although he didn't hit Situ Qian, he attracted the attention of the soldiers, and they all raised their guns and pulled the trigger.

"What a coward!"

Sharifei cursed inwardly and rolled over.

Bang bang bang!
On the roof, broken tiles suddenly flew everywhere.

At this moment, Wu Ba finally reloaded the Tiger Cannon, jumped out suddenly, and lit the fuse.

boom!
There was a loud bang, houses collapsed, and body parts flew all over the street across the street.

In a short time, firearms and magic were used, and the streets were in chaos.

Rumble!
Suddenly, the ground began to shake.

But in the distance, war horses were seen galloping on the long street, black flags were waving, and two cavalry units were rushing from the direction of the Shu Palace.

"The wind is tight, pull!"

Seeing this, Sharifei shouted loudly.

Others gathered towards him.

After all, their numbers were too small. Although they had the upper hand for a while with the help of the Tiger Cannon, they were still unable to stop the cavalry attack.

On the street, there were only two clouds of fog, one red and one black, entangled madly.

"Brother Yan, hurry up!"

Sharifei was anxious and shouted quickly.

"Humph!"

Li Yan had already noticed the arrival of reinforcements. Although he was unwilling, he could only snort coldly and soar into the air wrapped in rolling black mist.

When it landed, the black fog had dissipated, revealing its true form.

"Go through Jiuyan Bridge! I have a place..."

Granny Jin took off her mask, her face turned pale and she coughed up blood.

Without further ado, the crowd sped up and sprinted madly around the corners of the streets and alleys. They soon escaped from the pursuers and disappeared...

As he watched them leave, Master Xue Nuo did not chase them. He also fell to the ground. The blood mist dissipated, and his skin turned pale.

I staggered and almost fell.

"Release the falcons and search!"

He looked unwilling and roared orders.

But he also knew in his heart that he would most likely not find it.

Sure enough, the cavalry chased everywhere but could not find Li Yan and others, and the released falcons were also killed by Lu San's falcon Lidong.

"Let's go back and recover!"

Master Xue Nuo was unwilling to give in and ordered his troops to withdraw.

On the first day of the first lunar month in the Yisi year, the sky over Chengdu was covered with dark clouds...

…………

In a dilapidated and abandoned old house in the east of the city, Li Yan and others sat cross-legged on the ground, breathing heavily and looking exhausted.

Chengdu had become a dangerous place, and the Shu Palace also had sorcerers who were good at tracking. They changed places several times before they got rid of the pursuers.

At this moment, there was a masking talisman pasted on the distant gate, and several magic flags were inserted on the surrounding walls covered with weeds, setting up a formation.

"This is the old house of the Bai family."

Granny Jin's face turned pale as she said, "There was a tragic case back then, and I helped to deal with it. Afterwards, I took over this house as my place to stay."

"There is dry food in the secret passage in the back hall..."

Before he could finish his words, he fainted.

The old lady was already very old, and had been using powerful magic continuously, which had exhausted her energy. Even if she recovered, her power would probably have declined.

Liang Yu quickly helped him into the room.

Li Yan asked what happened.

It turned out that Master Wuxiang and his companions hid secretly, but some news leaked out and they were found by Liang Yu, who was also familiar with Chengdu.

They originally wanted to reunite with Li Yan, but they met Sharifei and others who heard about the accident and were preparing to go to the rescue.

At that moment, everyone went to the Grand Prince's Mansion.

Li Yan also recounted what happened in the palace.

"This bastard is really a piece of shit!"

Hearing that Master Wuxiang was taking advantage of someone's misfortune, Shalifei immediately cursed, "A few days ago, you were acting so righteous, but in the end, you've revealed your true colors."

As he spoke, he touched his big bald head and said with some fear: "Fortunately we went out to rescue people, otherwise this bastard would definitely come back and rip us off."

"Those people are unreliable."

Liang Yu, one of the six idlers in the bamboo forest, also said in a deep voice: "We have received news that the reinforcements from Qingcheng Mountain have arrived and ambushed the King of Shu at the Wuhou Temple, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful."

"Besides, this is the main reason I came to you."

After saying this, he took out a copper coin wrapped in cloth from his bosom.

It was the "money for the god of happiness" that the King of Shu had just scattered...
