Eternal Sword

Chapter 256 The Caged Bird
After not seeing him for nearly half a year, Tan Wujiu looked like a different person.

His face was much thinner, his cheekbones were prominent, and his beard was untidy, as if it had never been trimmed.

This is very different from the dignified, shrewd and meticulous Captain Tan who previously served in the Qinglong Division of Wu'an County.

So much so that Chen Tang didn't recognize him at first.

"It turned out to be Master Tan."

Chen Tang's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said, "It seems that Lord Tan has been promoted. Congratulations."

Tan Wujiu said: "You still remember me."

"Can't forget."

Chen Tang replied calmly.

It's not that he hates Tan Wujiu that much, but rather he feels resentment, like a knot in his heart.

Cai Tou was not killed by Tan Wujiu.

But after all, Tan Wujiu was there at the time.

If he hadn't stopped Cai Yin, Song Mu wouldn't have succeeded.

Back in Wu'an County, Chen Tang killed the temple master Song Mu with one knife.

But he didn't touch Tan Wujiu.

Firstly, the gap in strength between the two was too big, and he couldn't kill the other at all.

Secondly, even if he was given the opportunity, he couldn't say for sure whether he would kill Tan Wujiu.

Because he knew the past of Cai Tou and Tan Wujiu.

Cai Tou was once rescued from a pile of dead bodies by Tan Wujiu.

Cai Tou was able to become the Weiwei of Qinglong Division thanks to Tan Wujiu's care and respect over the years.

When Cai Tou selects the Qinglong Guards, he will pay special attention to those who come from poor backgrounds and have no background.

Tan Wujiu didn't say much about this.

Cai Tou and Tan Wujiu have been both teachers and friends for many years.

Perhaps, Tan Wujiu is not a bad person.

He was just resentful of Tan Wujiu's obedience to the Xuantian Sect.

I was even more resentful of Tan Wujiu's cowardice.

But later, the more I understood the Xuantian Sect, the more I realized how terrifying it was!
The entire upper echelons of the Qinglong Division are already under the command of the Xuantian Sect.

Now, taking advantage of the solar eclipse to create momentum, even the emperor had to compromise and make concessions.

Under such a great situation and pressure, how could Tan Wujiu dare to resist?

After all, not everyone is like him, alone and free from all worries.

"Master Tan, do you recognize him?"

Yang Mingban's heart moved, and he said jokingly: "If it is an old acquaintance, it will be difficult for Lord Tan to take action, so why not give the opportunity to the brothers."

"That's right. It's such a small matter, why bother Lord Tan to take action?"

The other three captains echoed.

This Chen Tang is already a bird in a cage and a fish on the chopping board.

Who wouldn’t be envious of such an opportunity to make a contribution?
What's more, it happened in public, in front of many mystics.

Tan Wujiu said expressionlessly, "Once Tan makes a move, he will do it without reservation."

Yang Ming half-jokingly said, "Master Tan, your sword has not been used for a long time. It won't be rusty, right?"

“You’ll know once you try it.”

Tan Wujiu spoke in a calm tone.

Tu Yang lifted the door curtain, listened to the conversation between Tan Wujiu and others, and sneered in his heart.

A few Qinglong Guards wanted to steal the credit from him!

The credit is already in his pocket.

As far as he knew, Chen Tang had offended at least two chieftains and an elder in the capital, and even the leader had some complaints about him.

As long as we capture this man alive and escort him to the capital, he will definitely become the most famous person in the Xuantian Sect!

In the future, there will even be a chance to be transferred to the capital and become a disciple of an elder or a guardian. Thinking of this, Tu Yang remained calm on the surface, but his heart was burning with excitement.

He stood on the carriage, made a sword gesture with his hand, and pointed forward!
Whoosh!
Two flying swords shot out from the carriage behind him, transformed into two white lights, and flashed away, surrounding Chen Tang in front!
A master at the Foundation Establishment stage who can control two flying swords.

If you are more cautious, you can use one mouth to kill the enemy and one mouth to defend.

But now, he is surrounded by many Xuantian Sect warriors and Qinglong Guards protecting him, so he doesn't have to worry about safety at all.

In order to capture Chen Tang as quickly as possible and take all the credit.

Tu Yang made a sudden move and sent out two flying swords!
At the same time, the magic formula in his hand changed again, activating the mysterious technique!
On the long street, the air became extremely hot.

call!
In the blink of an eye, a wall of fire several feet high appeared behind Chen Tang, blocking his retreat!
Using two flying swords and mystical techniques, Tu Yang unleashed all his means without reservation, wanting to capture Chen Tang as soon as possible!
Chen Tang looked solemn.

Although there are only more than 500 soldiers and horses in the front, they are from Qingzhou City after all, and their overall strength is one level higher than that of Longpan County.

For example, Tan Wujiu, as the commander-in-chief of the Qinglong Division, must reach the third level of Tongmai Realm to be qualified!
The masters of Xuantian Temple in Qingzhou City have basically reached perfection in the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is similar to Kong Cong's realm.

Back then, in the imperial palace in the capital, Kong Cong couldn't survive more than ten blows from him.

This was mainly because Chen Tang seized the initiative and was already close to Kong Cong when he drew his sword.

Only by combining the Lion's Roar Skill with the help of the Divine Sword could Kong Cong be killed.

If it was a normal fight, with Kong Cong and Tu Yang's means of controlling two flying swords and combining their mystical arts, Chen Tang might not be able to get close.

Not to mention beheading it with a knife.

In a flash, Chen Tang turned around and left, ready to avoid the troops from Qingzhou City.

But as soon as he turned around, he heard a strange sound of wind behind him.

The flying sword is coming!

The Xuan Master who has reached the perfect stage of foundation building controls the flying sword at an extremely fast speed.

Back then in Hanliang Palace, Chen Tang's burning wooden sword in the divine illumination state and Kong Cong's flying sword were all able to resist them all!

If Chen Tang continued to run forward, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the flying sword.

After all, no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than the flying sword.

Chen Tang didn't even have time to look back. He just relied on the wind to determine the location, took a step sideways, avoided one of the flying swords, and at the same time suddenly turned around and slashed back!
The second flying sword has arrived in front of him.

when!
Wan Gu slashed heavily on the flying sword.

Swords collide and sparks fly!

Chen Tang was shocked.

The flying sword that was about to hit Tu Yang obviously encountered great resistance.

It was completely different from the feeling of being slashed by the flying sword of a Taoist priest in the Qi Condensation Realm.

But Tuyang's flying sword still broke with a sound!

Chen Tang was greatly encouraged.

With the help of the 'Eternal' sword, the chance of escaping from Longpan City is increased.

When Tu Yang saw this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He had been refining this flying sword for decades, and it contained all his cultivation and vitality. Now it was cut in half by Chen Tang with one knife. How could he not feel heartbroken?
Chen Tang turned around and fled again, but a wall of fire suddenly rose in front of him, blocking his retreat!
At the same time, Tuyang's first flying sword turned around and shot towards him!

Chen Tang swung his sword again!

This time, under Tu Yang's control, the flying sword became much smarter and did not collide head-on with Chen Tang's "Wan Gu". Instead, the sword body twisted to avoid the "Wan Gu" blade.

There was a flash of cold light, and the flying sword coiled along the blade of the Eternal Blade like a spirit snake, as if it was sticking to the blade, and it actually bit towards Chen Tang's wrist!
"Ok?"

Chen Tang's expression changed.

When flying swords are used to this extent, it is truly unpredictable.

Fortunately, he had just cut off Tu Yang's flying sword.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed from the attack of the two flying swords.

We are now deeply surrounded, and every moment of clarity of mind is extremely precious.

Every moment can save a life.

Chen Tang would not use the power of Yiqi Shenzhao unless it was absolutely necessary.
