Patrol Captain

Tongguan is a strategic place where Qin, Jin and the capital meet, and the eastern gate of Guanzhong area. It has a hundred-mile long road and twelve connected cities with beacon fires, which is awe-inspiring.

The sun rises in the east, and looking north from the majestic pass, a golden dragon roars to the east. In the wide part of the river, the water is vast and the sunlight sparkles like golden fragments. In the narrow part, the water flows fast, the waves crash against the shore, the turbid waves empty, and the sound is like thunder.

To the south, Longling Mountain is rolling and undulating, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, while the other peaks are either steep like walls or winding like screens. Among them, the mountains are covered with green and shrouded in clouds and mist.

From the flying boat, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the Nanling Mountains, the Beihe River, and the Baili Pass.

"Chen Zhonglang, I will see you off right here!"

On the deck, Mu Yuntian looked at Chen Yuan, whose purple Qilin suit set off his majestic figure. He raised one hand and rolled up his sleeves, then looked away with a sharp gaze.
"Further ahead is the eight counties of the capital, where dragon energy gathers for hundreds of thousands of miles. Haha, if we talk about the so-called blessed land, then that place is the best!"

"The world's storms gather here, the court is in turmoil, a single word can decide the life and death of millions, killing people invisibly, disputes in the rivers and lakes, countless swords and shadows, strange people and events."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. We are short on time this time. When we meet again someday, I will definitely drink and chat with Chen Zhonglang!"

He laughed and slowly withdrew his gaze.

On Chen Yuan's side, the trio had already packed up.

He also followed the gaze and looked at the magnificent scenery outside Tongguan, then he retracted his gaze and raised his hand.
"Thank you very much, General Mu, for seeing me off all the way!"

"It's been a hassle along the way!"

Mu Yuntian also raised his hand. "It's my job. I think Chen Zhonglang also understands that I have no choice but to do this. Just don't blame me for being nosy."

His so-called escort actually meant to quickly send Chen Yuan away from his jurisdiction to avoid causing more trouble in Qin.

I think Chen Yuan also knows it well.

At this point, the general of the Three Qins looked evasive and lowered his voice.
"In addition, I would like to say something to Chen Zhonglang: Be careful on the road!"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, then returned to normal and put down his hand.
"Chen understands!"

"General Mu, see you later!"

As he spoke, wind blew from his feet and his body rose into the air. Then his shadow became illusory and turned into a stream of light, which cut through the sea of ​​clouds, stirred up a straight cloud wave, and rode the wind between heaven and earth and quickly went eastward.

Gongsun Yang, Xu Liang and Xu Shaoqing then supported Mu Yuntian and flew into the air with him.

Soon, several people disappeared into the sky illuminated by the sun!
On the deck, Mu Yuntian turned sideways and watched the group of people leave. The expression on his face slowly disappeared and became indifferent.

At this time, one of the generals who followed him clasped his fists and bowed his head, and said in a low voice:
"Sir, do you want to notify the nearest county in the capital?"

What he meant was to report the whereabouts of the General of the Central Army of Shu to the nearby prefecture and county government offices.

Because this General of the Central Army in Shu is a person of concern to the imperial court!

"No need!"

"I just need to do my job well and not do anything that offends others."

"Besides, they have revealed their whereabouts under my rule. Some people in the court have been keeping an eye on them. It is only a matter of time before we find them. Maybe they are already waiting on the road!"

Mu Yuntian looked into the distance, his face expressionless, his eyes gleaming as he spoke.
"However, this Chen Zhonglang seems to know everything, but he remains calm and doesn't reveal anything. It's obvious that he is very cunning. Moreover, he didn't seem to have used his full strength in the battle in Baoqing Prefecture. Even I can't see through him."

"If some people in the court really pester us on the road, they will definitely suffer a great loss!"

"Okay, pass the order and return!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, two thousand miles outside Tongguan, Chen Yuan and his three companions drove the previous carriage straight to Tianmen Gorge, the nearest place to the capital, but the Tongtian River blocked their way.

The river is vast and dozens of miles wide, with turbid waves crashing into the sky and roaring loudly.

Just as Chen Yuan and his three companions were preparing to cross the void, a bird's cry startled the sky, and birds in the woods below fluttered into the sky.

"Slow down!" Chen Yuan's voice rang out in the carriage.

"yu"

The horses neighed and the carriage stopped.

"What's wrong, General Chen?" On the side, Xu Liang and Xu Shaoqing stopped their horses, frowned, and looked down.

I saw a big black bird circling down in front of me and then diving to the west.

After two or three breaths, a distant and desolate song was heard amidst the rolling Yellow River.

"The river flows on for a long time,

The shadows of spirits are constantly searching for impermanence.

The cycle of rise and fall will eventually come to an end,
Success or failure turned empty.

Look at the storm rising today,
Is the person coming here Jiu Zhonglang?"

The singing voice drifted slowly over the river, startling a group of birds nesting in the reeds on the shore. They flew up to the sky, chirping loudly.

I saw a black-sailed boat swaying quietly on the river bank a dozen miles west of the river. The hull was covered with spots. An old boatman was standing on it, leaning forward, paddling the boat with the waves.

In the sky, the big bird swooped down at a very fast speed and landed on the old boatman’s shoulder. It flapped its wings and folded them, and its pair of bright yellow eyes as sharp as an eagle blinked.

The old boatman was wearing a straw raincoat, rowing the boat with his skinny hands, and his silver hair fluttering in the wind like messy withered grass. He raised a withered hand with bulging veins and touched the black peregrine falcon on his shoulder. Then he raised his cloudy eyes and looked to the east, across the sky, and saw the black carriage hovering in the air.

"Sorry"

Xu Shaoqing and the other man restrained the frightened horses under their crotches, with looks of surprise and suspicion, and unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Someone is waiting for them here, so their whereabouts are completely exposed. The person who comes doesn't look friendly, so they are afraid that they will have a difficult journey.

"Who are you?" Gou Yue raised his eyebrows and shouted with great power.

"I am just a humble man waiting for you all." The old boatman smiled, revealing his yellow teeth, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The man in the car is the Ninth Prince of Shu, right?"

The old boatman's eyes penetrated the curtain, and seemed to be looking at the people in the carriage from a distance, as if they were colliding through the air.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Chen Yuan's voice came from the carriage.

The old boatman burst into laughter, and the sound was like a drum, echoing through the air.

"Someone didn't want Zhonglang to come to the capital, so he offered me a favor that I couldn't refuse. He asked me, an old man with half my neck buried in the mud, to wait here and meet you, my Lord."

"If I can injure you, I will give you ten years of life. If I can kill you, haha."

The laughter was shrill and chilling.

"Who is it? The Huangfu family? The Gongyang family? The Meng family? Or the Sky Patrol?" Chen Yuan's voice turned cold in the carriage, "What if I insist on going to the capital?"

"It depends on whether you go there standing up or lying down this time!"

"Anyway, I don't have many years left to live."

The old boatman bared his yellow teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying murderous aura rose from the sky.

Then, with a loud bang, the roof of the carriage exploded.

A stream of light rushed out, as fast as a shooting star, pointing straight to the river.

"Ha ha"

"You've come at the right time. Let me come and see if you, the General of the Central Army of Shu who has become famous in the capital, are just worthy of your reputation.

The old boatman laughed, stood up straight from his hunched body, and with a loud crackling sound, he suddenly raised his body and stepped forward. The boat was fine, but huge waves were rising on the river below the boat.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

A series of huge waves exploded on the river behind the sloop. The old boatman suddenly rose into the air and raised his hands. The huge waves rolled up and turned into strong winds and drizzles, carrying sharp cold light, and shot towards the stream of light falling from the sky.

Among them, drops of water were emitting sharp edges, with a water blue color and great power.

This drop of water is not an ordinary drop of water, but Xuanming heavy water. Each drop of heavy water is condensed from a stream or river and has great destructive power.

In the sky, a stream of light quickly cut through the air, a ball of flame burned fiercely, and crashed into the huge waves in the sky.

The flames broke through the wind and rain, and there was a loud sizzling sound. A dark three-pointed two-edged spear with fire patterns appeared in it. The blazing flames on it collided with the Xuanming heavy water, and they counteracted each other. But there was no one behind the three-pointed two-edged spear!
When the old boatman was wondering, the white waves behind him suddenly exploded with bangs.

Accompanied by screams and cries of fear.

The white water waves fell into the river and were dyed a dazzling crimson color by the blood.

I saw a residual image like a flash of light, breaking through the waves, and as the waves shattered, body parts flew out.

However, in a moment, the afterimage shattered all the waves, the screams stopped abruptly, and then the afterimage flashed and appeared in the sky, revealing Chen Yuan's figure.

But at this moment, he was holding nine bloody heads in his hands. The hideous and torn wounds were caused by being twisted off alive. The bulging eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear before death.

Moreover, the faces of these people began to distort and change after death, and finally became fixed, as if they had used some means to conceal their true appearance during their lifetime.

There was a person hidden in the exploding water waves, who had cast a spell and set up a formation secretly, which could only lure him into taking the bait and falling into the trap.

But nothing could escape the eyes of the Dharma, and before they could even form a formation, they were killed by Chen Yuan with ease.

"Have you seen through it a long time ago?" The old boatman's pupils widened, his face like dry bark trembled rapidly, the corners of his eyes drooped, his smile disappeared, and his voice sank.

There were blazing golden flames in Chen Yuan's eyes. He looked down at the old boatman, with a little bloodshot in the corners of his eyes, and a ferocious aura that made people shudder.

"Just you?"

It was a tone of extreme arrogance and disdain.

The moment he finished speaking, flames suddenly appeared on his body, and then a huge vortex of fire quickly formed in the void above his head and spread in all directions. A terrifying temperature swept through the void, and a fire area was formed at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Yuan summoned the Southern Phoenix Sky, but the Phoenix Spirit was not there now.

At the same time, his body shook, revealing his Dharma body. He let out a fierce roar, and punched the sky with both fists, directly striking the old boatman who was holding up his hands to the sky below.

The fire domain roared, and the Phoenix Divine Fire with the power of burning the sky smashed down towards the Phoenix storm of the Mysterious Nether Heavy Water and burned through it directly.

The old boatman, who had been prepared, saw Chen Yuan quickly deal with the others and rushed towards him. He let out a fierce roar, shook his hands, and a divine light burst out. A giant appeared, and then he suddenly combined the Xuanming heavy water he had practiced, turning it into two blue feather knives, and forcefully cut the Phoenix True Fire.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

There were several earth-shaking explosions.

The Xuanming heavy water collided with the Phoenix True Fire, and the old boatman's Dharma body was beaten back quickly. The impact of the explosion caused huge waves in the turbulent river.

Chen Yuan grabbed the spear and stepped on Nanfangtian. He moved at an extremely high speed in the void in his own world. The spear brought with it tremendous power and the true fire of the phoenix, which blasted the beast and made it roar in anger.

After a deafening explosion, the old boatman was blown out of the air and landed on the river surface. He slid for several miles and created a huge wave on the river surface.

"Overwhelming!" The old boatman stood firm, suddenly looked up, and looked at the figure flying towards him like a ferocious beast. His eyes were like a poisonous snake, and he was driven into a corner.

He slashed with both swords to both sides, and there were two earth-shaking noises. The raging river was split in two by the two swords, and then rose up into the sky with a bang, like a hanging river in the sky.

But the next second, a voice like from the underworld sounded.

"What a coincidence, I will do it too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the river that was originally rolling forwards in the sky, unexpectedly rolled back under the struggling and ferocious face of the old boatman.

After two or three breaths,

"boom"

The river hanging in the sky exploded and fell down.

The old boatman had a bad look on his face, with a hint of fear in his pupils. Taking advantage of the waves, he changed his body shape, becoming transparent and disappeared with the water.

But the next second, a fist as big as a mountain broke through the water curtain hanging down from the sky, and smashed hard towards the place where he disappeared, hundreds of feet above his head.

"Boom"

Suddenly, there was a scream of pain, a blue light flashed, huge waves exploded, and a figure was smashed out from the waves, splashing blood.

The old boatman's real body was smashed out, his hair was disheveled and a hideous bloody hole was smashed on his chest.

Before he could prepare himself, Chen Yuan's figure flashed again, and he punched the old man who had just been talking nonsense with great power. He fought him in close combat, as brutal as a ferocious beast, and his figure was so fast that it was invisible.

The old boatman was exhausted from defending himself and was frightened by Chen Yuan's brutality. He had more and more flaws, and his huge body was hit up and down by Chen Yuan's punches and kicks like a ball.

Just like that, balls of blood rained down, and the words that this guy was about to say in his throat were interrupted again and again.

Half a cup of tea later, a deafening cry of pain shook the void.

"Pfft."

Chen Yuan's eyes were ferocious. He grabbed the old man's arms with both hands and tore them apart violently.

A large amount of blood rain

then,

"boom"

The man's head exploded with a loud bang, and a ray of golden light pierced through.

Then, Chen Yuan’s cold golden vertical eyes appeared from behind the blood spurting from his neck.

But the old man’s soul was not among them.

Where did the soul go?

Chen Yuan activated his golden vertical eye and scanned the ten directions. His gaze suddenly became sharp. He looked to the west about ten miles away and saw a black and gold peregrine falcon only a few feet in size, diving into the river below at a speed as fast as teleportation.

It was the bird that had landed on the boatman’s shoulder before!
But at this moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from Chen Yuan's eyes and shot towards the river surface in the distance.

There were actually formation fluctuations there.

"boom"

A huge wave arose.

The fluctuations of that formation disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the big black bird rushed out of the water again and flew towards the southwest like lightning.

"Humph!"

Chen Yuan's eyes were as cold as lightning, and he used his magic eyes to reflect a formation at the bottom of the river. This time he could see clearly that it was a short-distance teleportation formation.

It seemed that this person had made several preparations, but in the face of the absolute power gap, everything was useless.

Chen Yuan shot out golden light again, destroying the formation from a distance.

The huge black bird let out a sharp cry of an old man, and exploded with a loud bang. A ray of light jumped out of it, and it soared into the sky. With its hands, it tore a black crack in the void.

Just as it was about to get in,
A scorching hot wind locked onto him from behind!
In the sky, a beam of fire appeared, like a meteor chasing the moon, rapidly approaching the old boatman's soul. Then, with a loud bang, in a burst of brilliant fire, the space was shattered by the gun.

As for the soul, it disappeared completely.

It is unknown whether this old creature, whose energy and blood are declining and whose time is approaching, is dead or not. After all, it seems that he has lived for quite a long time. No one knows whether he has any strange life-saving abilities.

But Chen Yuan did not stay for long.

After doing all this, he closed his Dharma eyes, and the raging flames quickly disappeared from his Dharma body like returning wind and fire. Then his figure flashed and rushed towards the chariot.

He flipped over the heads he had just beheaded and decided to keep them.

"Get to the capital of God as fast as possible!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid this journey won't be peaceful."

"It's just right. If you respect others, they will bully and humiliate you. But as long as you kill them and scare them, they will know the pain!"

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with coldness, and the bloodshot in the corners of his eyes had not yet faded.

Xu Liang and Gou Yue felt a chill in their hearts and hesitated to speak.

Finally, with a shout of "Gee", the carriage and horses quickly flew towards the capital! (End of this chapter)
