Eternal Sword

Chapter 101: Seal the throat with one sword

Wei Qun frowned slightly.

The trip of the three of them was a personal action, and there was indeed no order from the Qinglong Division. Taking action to rob people was definitely a bad idea.

There are only a few solutions right now.

The first is to do as Duan Zhao said and wait for him to deliver the message to the county lieutenant Han Lang, and then take the person away after receiving a response.

But this is too passive.

If Han Lang wanted to disgust them, he could delay it for ten days or half a month. Meng Liangyu was injured so seriously that she might not be able to survive until then.

Second, one of the three of them would go back and ask Cai Tou for a handwritten order.

If Duan Zhao dares to stop him when he comes with a handwritten order to demand someone's return, he's courting death!
But this little matter did not fall within the scope of official business, and the three of them did not want to alarm Cai Yin, so they came here on their own.

Third, it is nothing more than to give in, make a concession, and discuss with Duan Zhao to see if there is any room for compromise.

Even Han Lang, who was behind Duan Zhao, definitely didn't want to make things too awkward with Qinglongsi.

Of course, this seemed a bit aggrieved. Han Lang had lost face in front of Cai Yin, so he was trying to get it back from the three of them.

Wei Qun was not sure how to make a decision for Chen Tang.

"Sister Li, come and help me support Captain Meng."

Chen Tang said, handing Meng Liangyu over to Wang Yanli first.

Then, Chen Tang looked at Duan Zhao and whispered, "County Lieutenant Duan, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

When Duan Zhao saw this, he knew that Chen Tang had given in, and he couldn't help feeling proud.

Chen Tang moved closer, blocking the view of the yamen runners behind him, as if he really wanted to borrow their space to talk.

The two were very close, almost touching.

Chen Tang suddenly made a move, grabbing Duan Zhao's wrist with one hand, holding it like an iron clamp.

At the same time, Chen Tang suddenly pulled out the long knife from Duan Zhao's waist with his other hand, and slashed his arm with it!
A flash of blood!
Chen Tang turned the long sword, stuffed the hilt into Duan Zhao's palm, and leaped away at the same time.

Duan Zhao: “???”

Chen Tang completed the entire process in a state of divine illumination.

At such a close distance, Duan Zhao couldn't react at all.

He realized that one of his arms was restrained, and was startled, subconsciously wanting to touch the sword at his waist.

A flash of knife suddenly appeared before my eyes!
The next moment, his sword was inexplicably stuffed into his palm.

Before he could figure it out, Chen Tang had already jumped away, covering his injured left arm!

Everyone around was shocked by this scene.

They were a little further away and their view was blocked, so they couldn't see clearly what was happening.

There was only a "clang" sound, and the sound of a long sword being unsheathed was heard.

Then, Chen Tang was seen with his left arm wounded and bleeding. Duan Zhao was holding a long knife in his hand with blood on the blade, and was looking at Chen Tang with gritted teeth.

County Magistrate Zheng was terrified as he watched from the sidelines.

What's going on with this sign?

Why did he attack the Qinglong Guards without even saying a few words?
Is he crazy?

The many yamen runners around had different expressions, and the way they looked at Duan Zhao changed a little.

Some people feel admiration.

This new county lieutenant is really brave. He dares to use a knife against the Qinglong Guards.

Some people shook their heads secretly.

This county lieutenant is so impulsive.

Even if there were a thousand reasons for his use of the knife, it would still be unjustifiable.

The Qinglong Guards obey the emperor. Only the emperor and the Qinglong Guards can punish and discipline people. It would be bad enough not to release them, but they even dared to attack them.

The knife drew blood at the first stroke.

Even if you just make a few gestures to scare people.

Wang Yanli was nearby. Although Chen Tang's move was fast, she saw it clearly and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "This move is really cruel."

Wei Qun didn't see what happened between the two parties, but he reacted very quickly and shouted, "Duan Zhao, you are so brave that you dare to attack the Azure Dragon Guards!"

He just saw Chen Tang step forward and thought Chen Tang had chosen to back down.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened and the situation was broken in an instant.

Chen Tang's move was too ruthless, directly blocking Duan Zhao's retreat!
The Qinglong Guards attacked and robbed people without any good reason.

But when Duan Zhao attacked and injured someone, the nature of the situation changed.

Duan Zhao was completely confused at first.

When he saw Chen Tang jumping away injured, he finally realized what was going on and became furious.

This kid is plotting against me!

How could he not understand what was happening?

I have been tricked.

Moreover, right under everyone's noses?
"I do not……"

Duan Zhao was about to explain when he was interrupted by Wei Qun's shout.

The next moment, Chen Tang, holding the Qinglong Sword, with a cold look in his eyes and emitting a fierce light, pounced towards him like a wounded tiger!

"Stop him!"

Duan Zhao knew what Chen Tang was thinking.

At this moment, in front of everyone, you absolutely cannot fight with Chen Tang again.

As long as Chen Tang is stopped, there will always be room for explanation.

If they ever fight, swords and knives have no mercy. If he is accidentally killed by Chen Tang, the matter will be even more difficult to explain.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, don't waste your life!"

Wang Yanli supported Meng Liangyu with one hand and drew the Qinglong sword from his waist with the other hand. He looked at the yamen runners around him and gave a light scolding.

Some yamen runners were startled and stopped in their tracks.

Some of the yamen runners were Duan Zhao's personal followers brought from Wu'an County. They naturally obeyed Duan Zhao's orders. Faced with Wang Yanli's threats, they were still hesitant and waited for an opportunity to act.

"Qinglongsi is arresting people. Let's see who dares to step forward!"

Wei Qun shouted loudly, looking around with murderous intent. The momentum of this shout was far greater than Wang Yanli's, and his eyes were like torches, instantly shocking the yamen runners who were originally ready to make a move!
Seeing that the situation was stabilized, Wei Qun quickly drew his sword and stepped forward, wanting to help Chen Tang.

After all, Chen Tang had just cultivated to the lower eighth level.

But that Duan Zhao is actually an upper eighth rank!

But he stopped after taking only two steps, looking at the scene not far away with a look of shock on his face.

Chen Tang came forward with a sword in hand. Duan Zhao saw that he was murderous and had bad intentions, so he could only resist with a knife.

Under the current situation, it would be best to capture Chen Tang alive and then explain the situation to everyone.

But as soon as the two sides fought, Duan Zhao realized something was wrong!

According to the information he received before, Chen Tang had just entered the realm of quality just half a month ago.

But at the moment when the swords collided, Duan Zhao felt that the force coming from the opponent's sword was not weaker than his at all!

Only half a month has passed, how is that possible?

Before he could figure it out, Chen Tang leaped into the air and stabbed downward with the sword. The tip of the sword trembled, and the edge flickered, leaving behind a series of sword shadows, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake!
Duan Zhao had never seen such exquisite sword skills before. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to fight back and could only retreat.

As he retreated, Chen Tang took advantage of the situation and attacked him with another sword in the air.

This time the sword is even more ferocious!
Duan Zhao realized that if he retreated any further, the opponent's sword force would become stronger and stronger, and would eventually force him into a situation where he had no room to retreat.

At the critical moment, Duan Zhao widened his eyes, shouted loudly, and swung his knife with his backhand, aiming at the long sword that was stabbing at Chen Tang!

He chopped down with his knife, but it hit nothing, with no force at all. Duan Zhao felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.

However, the tip of Chen Tang's sword bypassed Duan Zhao's blade and slashed his throat!
The two passed by each other.

Chen Tang landed on the ground, expressionless, and slowly put away the Qinglong Sword.

One of the moves in the "White Ape Swordsmanship" is the monkey catching the moon. It is a sword technique that strikes from mid-air downwards, with many sword shadows, real and fake.

When one cultivates to the divine level, he can even influence the other party's mind and eyesight!

Once the opponent is confused by it and the counterattack fails, it will be difficult to escape unscathed.

"White Ape Swordsmanship" is indeed exquisite.

Against an eighth-grade master, one sword will kill him!
"you you……"

Duan Zhao looked unwilling, and his lips opened and closed as if he wanted to say something.

"You messed with the wrong guy."

Chen Tang said calmly, with his back to Duan Zhao.

呲!
A thin blood mark appeared on Duan Zhao's throat, and suddenly it split open, gushing out a large amount of blood mist!
Immediately afterwards, with a thud, Duan Zhao fell to the ground and died.

The many yamen runners present were stunned and shocked.

The county lieutenant who had just taken office died in his own county government office!
I've always heard that the Qinglong Guards acted in a domineering manner, but I didn't expect them to be so domineering.

Everyone thought again, after all, it was Duan Zhao who started the fight first, so it didn't seem to be a problem for the Qinglong Guards to fight back.

Among all the people present, Meng Liangyu was probably the only one who was not surprised by Chen Tang's action.

He knew what kind of person Chen Tang was and also understood Chen Tang's methods.

Chen Tang came to Wang Yanli and took Meng Liangyu from her.

"Thanks."

Meng Liangyu looked at Chen Tang's injured left arm and said, "I caused you to be injured."

"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."

Chen Tang didn't care.

When I was fighting with many wild beasts in the Three Thousand Snow Mountains, the injuries I suffered were much more serious than this.

This minor injury has no impact at all.

What's more, his body heals from injuries much faster than others.

"Xiao Chen, great swordsmanship. I've never seen you use it before."

Wang Yanli exclaimed in praise.

Chen Tang whispered, "The last resort."

"Don't worry, Sister Li will keep it a secret for you."

When Chen Tang sparred with everyone in Qinglong Division before, he only used the Qinglong Sword to deal with them.

After all, it was just a brief discussion and there was no need to decide the winner or loser, so Chen Tang naturally wouldn't reveal too much.

Wei Qun felt a little emotional.

The two of them came with Chen Tang because they were initially worried that Chen Tang lacked experience and skills and would not be able to control the situation.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tang's methods were unreasonable and even more ruthless than theirs!

Even if they were not with him, I'm afraid Chen Tang would be able to bring people back.

Moreover, Wei Qun had a feeling.

Chen Tang did not intend to kill Duan Zhao because of his later change of attitude.

But the moment Chen Tang saw Meng Liangyu covered with bruises, he decided to kill her!
This reckless style of doing things, being rough and unrestrained, and decisive in killing, does not seem like that of a government official, but rather a gangster from the grassroots.

In fact, this is somewhat similar to Cai Tou.

No wonder Caitou recruited Xiao Chen under his command and looked at him differently.

County Magistrate Zheng had a worried look on his face, and he said in great sorrow, "Oh, this, this, how could it come to this, how could it come to this!"

Wei Qun said: "This matter was all caused by Duan Zhao. He was the first to injure our Qinglong Guards. You all saw it."

"Alas, County Magistrate Duan is confused."

County Magistrate Shi sighed.

"I will report today's events to the Qinglong Division truthfully. Goodbye, everyone."

Wei Qun bowed, gave Chen Tang a wink, and left the county government office with a few others.

Wei Qun said, "Although we rescued the people today, a county lieutenant died after all. This is a big deal. I have to tell Cai Tou when I get back. I'm sure you'll get scolded. Be prepared."

"What are you afraid of?"

Wang Yanli said: "It's not like we started it first."

Wei Qun felt a little helpless, shook his head and smiled.
