Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 226 Blind
Hundreds of ships and thousands of members of the Poyang Gang surrounded the bay of Shizhong Mountain. Even if Ji Jie and other masters of cultivation could escape, they could not take the rest with them, not to mention there were 5,000 cavalry on land.

The large crowds did not make Ji Jie and others feel depressed. What made them depressed was that they saw a group of familiar people, or to be exact, people from Xiandao Academy. Not only Jiang Yuan and Ruogu were among them, but also Zhenren Longquan and his disciples from Songshan.

Longquan joined the Xiandao Academy on Cangyan Mountain three years ago and was the first famous family to join the Xiandao Academy. He always hopes to make wise choices. He wants to follow Xu Shi and become a god in the lower world.

There is also Shifengshan Dong Shezi, who also joined Xiandaoyuan two years ago. He is a hermit master, and his cultivation is not inferior to Longquan. It is said that even if he holds a bamboo stick in his hand, he can break the opponent's sharp blade. But now he holds a sword without an edge in his hand.

Seeing this lineup, Ji Jie and others understood why the Ghost Shadow Sect was wiped out overnight.

What is puzzling is that Xiandaoyuan has never participated in wars, and Xu Shi only does what he is supposed to do. Even if Ying Zheng ordered him to wipe out "Zang Ding", he has only been perfunctory in the past three years and has not fought with "Zang Ding" again. Why did he send so many people this time to subdue a group of bandits? Was it because Ying Zheng was furious because of the Qin army's disastrous defeat this time?
In fact, Jiang Yuan didn't know much about it. Ever since Ying Zheng was assassinated in Bolingsha and returned to Xianyang, a Mr. Li suddenly appeared in the court. Mr. Li always wore a golden mask. No one had ever seen his face except his two apprentices. Most people recognized his two apprentices as Wuzhan's apprentices.

Some people suspected that Mr. Li was Wuzhan, but it was just a suspicion because Wuzhan had died on Cangyan Mountain and even his body was smashed to pieces. Everyone in the world knew about it. What's more, Mr. Li's body shape was completely opposite to Wuzhan's, one was strong and handsome, while the other was thin and frail. The doubters could only dispel their suspicion.

How Mr. Li, who seemed to have fallen from the sky, gained the trust of Ying Zheng was anyone's guess. Now Ying Zheng's trust in Mr. Li was no less than his trust in Mayor Xu. In this campaign to wipe out the bandits, Ying Zheng ordered Xiandaoyuan to fully cooperate with Mr. Li, and even Mayor Xu could not refuse.

Mr. Li is now sitting in the cabin. His boat is the most luxurious one. There is only one person standing outside the cabin, and that person is Ling Kongzi.

Not only Ji Jie and others were looking at the ship, but Jiang Yuan and others were also looking at the ship, because they were waiting for Mr. Li to give orders. This man was a man of great foresight, and his ability to destroy the Ghost Shadow Sect had been proven. Although many people were killed, there was no need to waste too much effort. Just like the Poyang Gang in front of them, they were actually under control. All they could do was to follow orders and kill people. It was so simple that they only had to kill people, and they didn't have to think about anything else.

Some people suspect that the reason he wears a mask on his face is because his face is a devil's face. Others will be scared to death when they see it. As long as he moves his mouth, many people will die. Others kill for him and become numb. This is a very scary thing.

The boat had been surrounded for a long time, and Mr. Li was in no hurry to give orders. The people from Xiandao Academy could only confront Ji Jie and others, just like a group of wolves surrounding a few sheep. The sheep were naturally afraid, and the wolves had already become impatient.

Cui Hongtao stood in Zuixianlou and shouted, "Listen, brothers from Poyang. Bai Yuhe and Deng Shuida colluded with the remnants of the fallen nation and the barbarians in southern Xinjiang to kill their brother and usurp the throne. They wanted to send the Poyang Gang into danger. The big boss entrusted the Poyang Gang to me before his death and ordered me to lead all the brothers to join the Qin Dynasty and save the Poyang Gang. Now you can see that the Qin army has surrounded this place. As long as we are loyal to the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army will ensure our safety and eradicate the rebellion in the gang!"

As soon as the voice fell, more than a hundred people downstairs and more than a thousand people on the river shouted in unison: "Eliminate the rebellion and surrender to the Qin Dynasty!..."

Cui Hongtao continued, "For those of you who participated in the siege of the leader, I will give you a chance. As long as you lay down your weapons, stay away from Bai Yuhe and Deng Shuida, and follow me, I will forgive you for what happened. Otherwise, you will be treated as traitors within the gang!"

The team that Bai Yuhe and Deng Shuida belonged to was already terrified when they saw that they were surrounded by a large army. When they heard the second in command's call, they laid down their weapons without hesitation and rushed downstairs.

How could Xiao Jinghong and the two monsters of Langya allow these people to leave? They attacked together and shot them to death.

Seeing the situation, Cui Hongtao shouted loudly, jumped down from the second floor, and led the Poyang Gang to kill Xiao Jinghong.

The green-faced man was none other than Jin Xingzi. Jin Xingzi also jumped down and saw Xiao Jinghong and the two Langya monsters besieging Cui Hongtao. He laughed and said, "Three against one is nothing. Let me deal with you two bugs." There was suddenly a fire sword in his hand. With a flash of fire, he slashed towards the golden mantis.

When Golden Mantis saw Jin Xingzi coming to kill him, he hurriedly threw out two machetes. Jin Xingzi used his swords to cut the two chains with his left and right swords, and the machetes flew towards the wild mountain snake.

The wild snake quickly turned around to avoid it, and just as he was about to swing his snake staff to hit Jin Xingzi, the two machetes were turned by Jin Xingzi and flew towards him again. The wild snake had to swing his staff to block it. With a "bang!", the power of the machete was more than ten times greater than that of the golden mantis. He felt that his arm was about to be broken. Before he could come to his senses, Jin Xingzi's fire sword chopped from it at a very fast speed. The wild snake was too late to avoid it.

"Crack, puff..." The head of the snake staff and the human head fell to the ground together, and blood gushed out. Just as the Golden Mantis threw the last two machetes, he saw that the wild mountain snake had lost its head. He was shocked and had no time to shout. Jin Xingzi's fire sword had already cut through the chain and swung out a sword shadow to pierce over.

The machetes in the golden mantis's hands were all gone without return. The mantis had lost its front legs and could only wait for death. The golden mantis was no exception. The fire sword pierced its chest, leaving a black hole. The wild mountain snake's body was still spewing blood, and the golden mantis fell down.

Jin Xingzi shook his head and sighed, "It's boring!" He jumped up to the second floor, sat on the fence, crossed his legs, and watched the excitement.

Cui Hongtao had been instructed by a famous person and had studied hard since childhood, so his skills were quite strong. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the second-in-command of the Poyang Gang. Although Xiao Jinghong's invisible needle was fast, it could not escape his judge's pen. For a while, the two were evenly matched.

Although the disciples of Tiansha Pavilion and Zhaixing Pavilion had higher cultivation levels than the members of Poyang Gang, they were outnumbered and dozens of them soon huddled together, defending without attacking.

Bai Yuhe and Deng Shuida could only feel angry when they saw their subordinates turning against them, but they could not stop them. The boat they and Ji Jie and others were on became an isolated one, surrounded by hundreds of ships of the Poyang Gang.

After a long while, a calm and clear voice came from the most luxurious ship: "The three of you can go. I won't kill you today."

Not only Ji Jie and the others were surprised, but also everyone in the Xiandao Academy was surprised. Jiang Yuan advised, "Sir, no, we finally trapped them, how can we let the tiger go back to the mountain!"

"You can't trap them, that's your problem. For me, it's not a problem. Besides, they are not tigers. At most, they are a few hungry wolves. They can't cause any trouble."

Ji Jie wanted to escape, but when he heard such contemptuous words, he was furious. He drew his sword and rushed towards the ship, saying fiercely: "I, Ji Jie, am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can I allow a villain like you to insult me? If you really have the ability, come and kill me. There is no need to hide in there and talk big!" "You said that you are the emperor and you cannot allow others to insult you. Then tell me, what is the difference between the emperor and a villain like me? What is the emperor and what is the villain? How did you, the emperor, fall into the hands of a villain like me?"

After Mr. Li asked this question, Ji Jie was stunned. He really couldn't answer this question because he was no different from ordinary people, and he didn't get the protection of the heaven. "Although villains may succeed sometimes, it will never last long."

"That's true, but it doesn't explain the difference between you and me. Since you can't answer, let me tell you, there is no difference between you and me. What we did was not to uphold justice. It's just that you said it in a nice way. You don't have to rush to die. Don't you have supporters in Southern Xinjiang? We'll meet on the battlefield. I want to see how you, the emperor, can defeat me, a villain. I want you to know that you are just a person who is unwilling to give up."

Yu Sisi held Ji Jie and whispered, "He is trying to provoke you to give up escaping. Don't fall into his trap. Let's leave here first and see if what he said is true or not. Even if it is false, they can't trap us."

Bai Yuhe said: "He released the three of you, what should I do then?"

Yu Sisi smiled sweetly and said, "Your water skills are better than ours, so you must have a way to escape from here. After we escape, we will wait for you in Wenlang Country in Southern Xinjiang."

How could she escape so easily in the face of so many masters? Bai Yuhe turned to Yang Yingjie and said, "Yingjie, take me away from here!"

Yang Yingjie laughed dryly: "It's hard for me to escape from here, how can I help you escape?"

Bai Yuhe said: "But what you said to me last night, how could you..."

"How can you take what we say in bed seriously? Besides, I'm used to being a playboy and don't want to be tied down. You know that."

Bai Yuhe could see these people clearly at this time, but it was too late. She had nothing left. The color disappeared from her face. She sighed and cried, "You are really this kind of people. I was so blind that I believed your words and killed my own brother. Now I am no longer valuable and you just discard me like a worn-out shoe. Well, now I have nothing. It would be clean if I died!" As she said that, she took out a two-foot-long spike from her sleeve and wanted to commit suicide.

Yang Yingjie stepped forward, grabbed Bai Yuhe's wrist with one hand and shouted, "Stop!"

Bai Yuhe's body softened and she said, "You still like me, don't you?"

Yang Yingjie smiled calmly and said, "Although I don't want to be bound by emotions, I can't watch you commit suicide in front of me."

Bai Yuhe said angrily: "Let me go, let me die!"

Yang Yingjie did not let go, but turned to the boat and shouted: "Since Mr. Li wants to let the three of us go, she is not a big deal."

Mr. Li was silent for a moment, then said, "A talented and romantic man is indeed kind to women. He actually came to me for her. However, she betrayed the Poyang Gang and killed Wu Chunhu. If she doesn't die, it will be difficult to give an explanation to the Poyang Gang. How about this, if you really want to save her, you can use your life in exchange, and the Poyang Gang may agree."

Yang Yingjie simply replied, "No need, I will remember this grudge and will repay you in the future!" He let go of her hand and said to Bai Yuhe, "If you want to die, there is nothing I can do."

Bai Yuhe really didn't want to live. The moment Yang Yingjie let go, she stabbed herself in the heart with the sharp thorn because that was where it hurt the most. She fell in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open.

When Deng Shuida saw Bai Yuhe committing suicide, he cursed and jumped up, rushing towards Ji Jie, but was kicked away by Yang Yingjie, fell into the water and died.

Seeing Ji Jie about to leave, Longquan rolled his eyes and said to Mr. Li, "If we let them go today, how will we explain to His Majesty when we return?"

Jiang Yuan echoed, "Your Majesty ordered us to wipe out these rebels. If he knew that we let them go, he would be furious!"

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Well, since you want to give an explanation to His Majesty, you can do it. If you can't bring their heads, you can bring your own heads to see His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Longquan and Jiang Yuan realized that they had fallen into a trap. This was undoubtedly a military order for them, and they had to give their all.

Ji Jie said angrily: "You actually tricked us!"

Mr. Li said, "I do want to let you go, but you heard that they don't want to keep you and they have to give an explanation to His Majesty. But don't worry, we will never bully the weak with our numbers and make people laugh at us. If you can defeat them today, I promise to let you go."

Ji Jie pointed his sword at Longquan and said sternly: "Okay, I will learn Songshan swordsmanship today!"

Longquan slowly pulled out Changhong, wishing he could stab Mr. Li in the cabin with a sword, but he didn't dare to. He could only sulk and sneer at Ji Jie, "You overestimate your own abilities!" Before he finished speaking, a figure flew across the lake and used a "Changhong Guanri" to stab Ji Jie.
