Eternal Sword

Chapter 125: Stealing the Talisman and Intercepting the Order
When the forces from all sides of the long street saw this scene, they were all shocked and their faces changed color!
This method is too horrifying.

County Magistrate Li Yan and 'Iron Finger' Wu Chengdu are both third-rank officials. They are good at releasing internal energy and can be considered first-rate masters both in the martial arts world and in the court.

But even such a top-notch master couldn't withstand even a single move from this fat old man!
This old man looked unattractive, even a little shifty, but he was ruthless when it came to killing people.

Including four thousand captains and the county lieutenant Han Lang, the fat old man killed several people in a row as easily as killing a chicken!
Even if he was a third-grade Tongmai master, a first-rate master like County Magistrate Li Yan was still within the scope of everyone's cognition and was not invincible.

The strength of this fat old man has reached a level that is shocking!
Even those who had just been shouting at Xiao Xun and Huo Zinan didn't dare to speak at this moment. They looked terrified, fearing that they would be targeted by the fat old man.

How could such a ruthless person appear in Wu'an County?
Could this be the work of a congenital master, or...

Xiao Xun was secretly shocked.

Chen Tang has known the fat old man for a long time, but this is the first time he has seen him take action.

"What rank is your master?"

Chen Tang couldn't help but ask.

Qing Mu said: "First rank, Grandmaster."

No wonder.

Chen Tang thought about it and it made sense.

He was able to sneak into the palace, infiltrate the Sky Prison, and steal out the Crown Prince and the eldest princess. Without the strength of a first-rank master, it would be difficult to escape with two living people.

The situation on the long street was originally at a stalemate, with all parties confronting each other and fearing each other.

But because of the appearance of the fat old man, the deadlock was instantly broken and a one-sided trend emerged!

One aspect is that he is personally unrivaled in strength.

There is another, more important reason.

That is what the fat old man just said, the Blackwater Kingdom’s army cannot come.

The many city defense troops present began to waver.

If there were no threat from the Blackwater Kingdom, most of them would not be willing to follow the Huo family in rebellion.

Even the members of the Blackwater Gang were shocked and their morale was in chaos.

Without the support of the Black Water Kingdom's army, they would never be able to take Wu'an County. In this case, they might as well leave early.

After all, the appearance of a fat old man in Wu'an County is such a big variable that we can only abandon it temporarily.

Seeing this, Xiao Xun couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, everyone. Don't listen to his nonsense. I met the king before I came here. He has already issued an imperial edict and sent out the tiger talisman. As long as the general sees the imperial edict and gets the tiger talisman, he will definitely dispatch the army!"

"what?"

The fat old man rolled his eyes, looked at Xiao Xun in the crowd, and said with a smile: "You are the young gang leader, right? I'll kill you first!"

If Xiao Xun didn't speak, the fat old man might not have focused his attention on him.

If he speaks, he will be courting death!

In a blink of an eye, the fat old man had already pounced above the Black Water Gang!
"Master, be careful!"

The sturdy man behind Xiao Xun immediately stepped out, drew his sword and slashed at the fat old man in mid-air!

This person was the expert who had just forced Yan Qi back with a single blow of his sword.

But in the eyes of the fat old man, this person was too slow and had flaws everywhere.

puff!

The fat old man stretched out a bamboo pole, broke through the surging black water, and poked the strong man in the throat.

The strong man trembled all over, fell on his back and died instantly!
Xiao Xun was so frightened that his face turned pale.

He regretted it a little.

If I had known this earlier, I would have just run away quietly. Why would I bother arguing with this old man?
Swish swish!
The Black Water Gang members around him quickly stood in front of Xiao Xun and attacked one after another. In an instant, countless sword lights flashed and came from all directions!

The fat old man's figure floated in the knife light, like a ball of catkins swaying in the wind. It was clearly right in front of everyone, but no one could catch it!
Puff puff!
The bamboo pole poked around.

A large number of members of the Blackwater Gang fell to the ground!

"You little bastard, I'll see where you can escape to!"

The fat old man has locked onto Xiao Xun in the crowd.

Even if there were hundreds of Black Water Gang members, they couldn't save him!
"Feng Xuyu, how dare you!"

At this moment, a voice sounded over the long street.

The next moment, a tall figure flew over everyone's heads, like a big bird, blocking the moonlight, and pounced towards the fat old man!

Swish!
The black water is surging!

At the same time, everyone on the long street heard the sound of a rushing river. The roar was continuous and terrifying!

It was as if endless black water was pouring down from the sky and pouring into Wu'an County!

Some timid people actually shouted and turned around and ran away subconsciously.

Just one knife affected everyone present!

This method is no less shocking than the one brought to everyone by the fat old man!
"Ok?"

When the fat old man saw this man, he put away the smile on his face, his expression became serious, and he stepped back as if his feet were walking on clouds. He avoided the opponent's blade and did not confront him head-on.

"father!"

When Xiao Xun saw this person, he was overjoyed and shouted immediately.

When the Black Water Gang members saw this person, they were also greatly encouraged.

Xiao Zhengyuan, leader of the Blackwater Gang, first-class master!
Now that the gang leader has arrived, it means that the Blackwater Kingdom’s army is just outside the city, and Wu’an County is already in the Blackwater Kingdom’s possession!

When the fat old man saw this man, he suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Xiao Zhengyuan, I'm going to kill him, why are you in such a hurry?"

"He is my son, don't you know?"

Xiao Zhengyuan was dressed in black and looked no more than middle-aged. He was tall and sturdy, holding a long sword in his hand. His aura was amazing, even more powerful than that of the fat old man!

"Are you sure he is your son?" The fat old man laughed and said, "I have been to your Black Water Country this time and heard a secret about him. Don't you find that this kid looks a lot like the Black Water King?"

"What did you say!"

Xiao Zhengyuan shouted loudly.

The fat old man shrugged slightly and said, "I just overheard it in your palace. Otherwise, why would the Black Water King be so nervous about him? Since he entered the palace, he has issued an imperial decree and sent out the tiger talisman."

Xiao Zhengyuan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xun, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

Xiao Xun's eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to those of the Black Water King.

But they are from the same family, all have the surname Xiao, and look alike, so it's not a big deal.

But the Black Water King really likes Xiao Xun and has repeatedly invited him to the palace. Could it be that...

When did this happen?
Could it be that year when the princess summoned Shuiyun into the palace?
This bitch actually carried me on his back...

Xiao Zhengyuan learned that there was a change in the army and that he was temporarily unable to support Pingzhou. Worried about Xiao Xun's safety, he rushed here first.

I didn't expect to hear such news as soon as I arrived in Wu'an County. I felt like I was struck by lightning.

People from all parties on the long street were all stunned.

How come while fighting, I ended up eating such a big melon?
Xiao Xun was stunned when he heard this, and felt both surprised and happy.

So, I am no longer the young gang leader, but have been promoted to a prince?
No wonder the king thinks so highly of me...

Xiao Zhengyuan took a deep breath, looked at the Black Water Gang, and said in a deep voice: "Protect Xiao Xun, leave Wu'an County quickly, and return to Black Water Country!"

Xiao Zhengyuan is still rational.

We need to go back and confirm this matter first.

You can't just believe what the fat old man says.

But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout over time.

"Dad, I won't leave!"

Xiao Xun said: "Since the king has sent out a large army, I want to stay in Pingzhou!"

"There is no more army."

Xiao Zhengyuan said expressionlessly: "The king's tiger talisman has been stolen by this person!"

"what?"

Xiao Xun couldn't believe it and said quickly: "But the king also issued an imperial decree..."

Xiao Zhengyuan said coldly: "That imperial edict was also intercepted by him."

"what!"

Xiao Xun was shocked.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.

"It's done!"

Li Yan was a calm person, but at this moment he was a little excited and couldn't help but wave his fist and said, "Without the imperial tiger talisman, the Black Water Kingdom's army dare not move at all!"

Li Zhongmou nodded and said, "That's right. Without the tiger seal and imperial decree, if the three armies move, it is almost equivalent to treason. No matter who is the general, he cannot bear this responsibility."

"They can only send someone to the palace to report the situation and ask for an imperial decree. This round trip will take a lot of time on the road."

Li Boxiong couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sneak into Black Water Country, steal the talisman and intercept the order, and delay the three armies. What a great method. Who is this senior?"

Li Yan said: "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be the number one thief in the world who has been famous for a long time and has been famous all over the world for decades, known as Yibuyunxiao!"

"I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who has this ability."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Yinfeng quickly persuaded: "Young Boss, let's listen to you and retreat first!"

Xiao Xun clenched his fists, his face turned pale, after all, he was unwilling to give in.

He had been running back and forth between the Black Water Kingdom and Pingzhou for so long, and was about to make an unprecedented achievement, but in the blink of an eye, he failed!
Xiao Xun gritted his teeth and said, "If we take Wu'an County and wait for the governor of Pingzhou to raise his army, as long as he can hold back the army of Qian State and wait for the king to issue another decree, there may be a chance."

"Young Gang Leader."

Du Yinfeng said: "Without the support of Black Water Country, Pingzhou Mu may not be able to hold on. At that time, it will be difficult for us to retreat to Black Water Country."

"Besides, we can retreat back to Black Water Country first and wait and see what happens. If the governor of Pingzhou can hold on, we still have time to march south."

Xiao Xun took a deep breath and finally nodded: "Okay!"

In the battle that just happened on Chang Street, the Blackwater Gang suffered heavy losses, with more than a hundred people killed or injured. Now there are only more than 300 people left protecting Xiao Xun and retreating towards the east gate.

Before leaving, Xiao Xun seemed to sense something and suddenly looked back.

At the other end of the long street, Chen Tang was staring at him intently!
That look...

Xiao Xun felt a chill in his heart, and he quickened his pace, urging, "Go back and get the horses, let's ride away quickly!"

Chen Tang looked at the fat old man.

Their eyes met and they nodded to each other.

Needless to say, the fat old man will try his best to delay Xiao Zhengyuan.

As for Xiao Xun, he can only be left to Chen Tang to deal with.

Chen Tang clenched the long sword in his hand and walked towards the east gate.

"Brother Chen, I'm with you!"

Meng Liangyu knew what Chen Tang was going to do. Even though he was exhausted and his old injuries had not healed, he still stood up.

"Take me one."

Mei Yingxue came to Chen Tang holding a bloodstained sword.

After this battle, she seemed to be reborn, like a different person, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes!
