Eternal Sword

Chapter 688: Trouble in Qianjing
"The traitor Yuan Qingmo has colluded with the rebels and brought chaos to the capital. He must be killed without mercy!"

Wei Yu immediately gave the order, his voice was loud and clear, and the echo spread to all directions.

"The Xuanwu Guards protect your majesty!"

Xuanwu Sijun mobilized the Xuanwu Guards to protect Yuan Taiping, and at the same time ordered: "Suzaku Guards, White Tiger Guards, and Azure Dragon Guards, listen to my orders, and do your best to surround and kill the rebels!"

"Sir, we are saved!"

On the execution platform, Jing Wuming and other former members of the Qilin Division were excited and eager to try.

If it weren't for the chains on their hands and feet, everyone would have stood up and fought side by side with the people below.

"Humph!"

Tai Shiqu snorted coldly: "The capital is an important place, and the security is tight. Just a few small soldiers and crabs want to rob the execution ground?"

In his opinion, the group of people below were scattered and numbered no more than a few hundred.

There are tens of thousands of Xuanwu Guards in the capital alone.

Together with the Vermillion Bird Guards, Azure Dragon Guards, and White Tiger Guards, there are a total of 100,000 guards from the four divisions!
If we add in the garrison troops stationed in the capital, the patrol battalion, and the fifteen soldiers brought by the generals, each of them could drown this group of people with just a spit!

As for the Xiling Demon Lord, he has his own generals, Xuanwu Sijun, and Lu Li the guardian to deal with him.

If Master Xuantian shows up, unless the Demon Lord comes in person, this group of people will all die here!
Given his level, it is not clear that Master Xuantian has already left Beijing.

"Taishi Qu, you are a traitor who sells out his master for fame. I will kill you today!"

Seeing the murderous light flashing in Taishi Qu's eyes, which clearly showed his murderous intent, Jing Wuming immediately started cursing, trying to attract the other party's attention.

If Taishi Qu attacked him in anger, it would be like he was blocking the sword for the King of Wei and buying some time.

"Haha, so eager to die?"

Taishi Qu sneered and said, "Don't worry, none of you can get away. The time has come, Yuan Qingmo, I will send you on your way first!"

Before he finished speaking, Taishi Qu raised his knife and slashed at Yuan Qingmo's neck.

"Hehe, it's not certain who will leave first!"

A voice suddenly came.

When he uttered the first word, still in the distance, just when Taishi Qu's long sword was about to touch Yuan Qingmo's neck, a figure flashed and raised his hand to block it.

The sword flashed.

Clang!
The long sword broke with a sound.

Tai Shiqu's whole body trembled and his pupils contracted.

The man had gray hair, a short stature, and was round like a meatball. He looked like an inconspicuous fat old man, but his movements were as fast as lightning, and the short sword in his hand was a rare magic weapon!
The fat old man swung his sword several times, and several sword beams shot out, swirling and running around Yuan Qingmo, Jing Wuming and others like a spirit snake.

Dang Dang Dang!
With a series of crisp noises, the shackles made of top-grade cold iron on everyone's body broke and scattered all over the ground.

"This is... sword light!"

"This little old man is a master!"

Although Taishi Qu had not cultivated to the first level, he was an innate warrior after all, and had some knowledge. He could instantly see the master level of the fat old man.

Without a second thought, he turned and ran away, shouting, "Master Xuanwu, help me!"

In front of the Grandmaster, his second-grade innateness was not good enough.

Xuanwu Sijun was busy taking care of himself, so he had no time to care about him.

"How can I let you run away in front of me?"

Just as he was about to jump off the execution platform and dive into the chaotic crowd, the fat old man's voice rang out again, as if it was right next to his ear.

Before Tai Shi Qu could react, a chubby hand grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and threw him heavily back onto the execution platform!
Tai Shi Qu turned over and jumped up, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and was about to grab Yuan Qingmo beside him as a hostage.

As soon as he turned over, his legs went weak and his whole body felt powerless, and he fell back to sit down.

"what!"

It was not until this moment that Taishi Qu felt a piercing pain in his dantian!

He was simply unable to mobilize his innate true qi.

Just in the brief contact with the fat old man when he was grabbed and thrown, his Dantian had been destroyed by the fat old man!

"I'll leave this person to you."

The fat old man raised his chin.

Tai Shi Qu covered his dantian with his hands, sweating profusely in pain. He looked up at Yuan Qingmo who slowly stood up and walked towards him with a broken knife in his hand. He looked at the former members of the Qilin Division who surrounded him with a look of horror.

"My Lord, Your Highness, brothers... I, I am also helpless, I..."

Tai Shi Qu was panicked, his voice trembling slightly.

puff!

Yuan Qingmo said nothing, waved his knife and cut Taishi Qu's throat.

呲!
Scarlet blood gushed out, Taishi Qu stared with his eyes wide open and fell down weakly.

This execution platform eventually became his final destination.

"Master!"

On the city wall, Yuan Qingmu saw the fat old man appear and hurriedly greeted him loudly.

The fat old man flashed and arrived on the city wall in a blink of an eye. He grabbed Yuan Qingmu and rescued her from the city wall.

The guards on the city wall stepped forward, but found nothing.

Some even rushed forward so fast that they fell off the wall.

"It turns out to be Senior Yibu Yunxiao."

Yuan Qingmo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Junior Yuan Qingmo and all the brothers in the Qilin Division would like to thank the senior for helping us."

"Small things."

The fat old man waved his hand casually and handed the short sword in his hand, which could cut through iron like mud, to Yuan Qingmu.

This dagger was originally a gift he gave to Yuan Qingmu.

However, some time ago, Yuan Qingmu gave it to Chang Sun Ming as a token of trust and took it to the Wusun Kingdom to ask for help.

"Master, what are you doing here with a wine jar?"

Yuan Qingmu was a little puzzled when he saw that the fat old man was holding a jar of wine in his other hand.

When this matter was mentioned, the fat old man became furious, broke the seal, took a big gulp, and then complained: "It's your lover. We agreed to stand side by side, come and toast, and then smash the cup as a signal."

"But when I got there, he didn't even wait for me. He just fell down and left me hanging outside!"

Yuan Qingmu burst out laughing.

It's just such a small matter, but the master got angry like a child.

However, when she heard her master talking about his lover, she was very happy and said with a smile: "Master, you have done a great deed. You saved that person!"

"Hey, stop trying to comfort me."

The fat old man groaned and said, "I saved the person, but he stole the limelight."

After saying that, the fat old man threw the wine jar to the ground with force, which also made a crisp sound, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, purple-gold divine light burst out from the air, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Tang, who was originally surrounded by many masters in the capital, now suddenly grew in size and climbed to nearly ten feet high in front of everyone, stretching his muscles and bones, like a demon god with overwhelming momentum!

"I go……"

It was the first time that the fat old man saw Chen Tang use such a method, and he was shocked.

In front of the Suzaku Gate.

Chen Tang activated his body light and grabbed through the air. The pair of golden hammers on the Wusun Kingdom's carriage flew towards him.

These were originally the pair of copper hammers from Ba Shi Chi Feng, but they were re-refined by Liang Zhou City and coated with a layer of refined gold, making them twice as heavy as before!
"kill!"

Xuanwu Sijun rushed forward at the first moment, thrusting his spear straight forward. The spear light burst out like a white rainbow, cutting through the sky.

However, this spear light hit Chen Tang's purple-gold body light, like a drop in the ocean, without causing any waves. The spear went straight to Chen Tang's chest.

Chen Tang's eyes were as sharp as torches. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed Xuanwu Sijun's spear.

call!
Xuanwu Sijun circulated his innate true energy, exerted force on his wrist, and shook it lightly, instantly shaking out a series of gun flowers that were dazzling.

"Fancy!"

Chen Tang sneered, ignoring these false illusions, reached in with his big hand, and with a click, he instantly grasped the gun tip in his palm.

The many gunshots disappeared in an instant.

Xuanwu Sijun's face changed.

With bare hands, he caught his spear. This level of eyesight and skill is at least one level higher than his!
Before he could react, he saw Chen Tang exerting force with his arms.

Xuanwu Sijun felt as if he was about to be lifted up from the ground by Chen Tang, so he quickly lowered his center of gravity and pressed down the gun with all his strength.

Under the force of the two men, the spear quickly bent and bulged, forming an extremely exaggerated arc.

Click!

With a loud bang, the spear broke in the middle.

Xuanwu Sijun's whole body was shaking, his knuckles were torn, his hands were covered in blood, and his arms were shaking constantly.

call!
In just a moment, the pair of golden hammers were in Chen Tang's hands.

Chen Tang stepped forward, raised his hand and swung a hammer, smashing Xuanwu Sijun on the head!

The hammer came with such ferocious force that Xuanwu Sijun felt his eyes go dark, his chest feel stuffy, and he felt suffocated.

Without time to think, Xuanwu Sijun took off the Xuanwu shield behind him, blocked it in front of him, and at the same time held up the Grandmaster's vision.

Rumble!
As soon as the Grandmaster's vision was formed, it was crushed by Chen Tang with ease.

The golden hammer continued to move forward and hit the basalt shield heavily!
boom!
Accompanied by a deafening sound, a huge air wave exploded from between the two people and spread in all directions.

Those who are not sufficiently skilled in cultivation cannot even stand under the impact of this gust of air.

Xuanwu Sijun was directly knocked back more than ten feet by Chen Tang's hammer and was heavily embedded in the wall of the inner city.

A deep pit appeared on the wall, and the surrounding walls shattered, revealing large spider-web-like cracks.

Xuanwu Sijun fainted and slowly slid down the inner city wall.

The Xuanwu Shield, the most famous magic weapon of the Xuanwu Division, was knocked away and fell in front of the Suzaku Gate.

Click, click, click!
A cracking sound was heard, and cracks appeared on the basalt shield.

This magical weapon of the Xuanwu Division, which was also the symbol of the Xuanwu Division, was smashed into scrap metal by Chen Tang with a hammer!

If it weren't for this Black Tortoise Shield, even with the power of Black Tortoise Lord, he wouldn't be able to withstand Chen Tang's half hammer.

"Show the vision!"

When the leaders of the various factions rushed halfway and saw this scene, their faces turned pale with fear. Wei Yu made a prompt decision and called out for help.

Normally, when they make a move of this level, they rarely reveal the Grandmaster's Vision right at the start.

But with just one blow from Chen Tang, everyone realized that without the blessing of the strange phenomenon, their fate would not be much better than that of Xuanwu Sijun!

Whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, white lights flashed and arrived earlier than the other generals, strangling Chen Tang.

But on the city wall, the left protector Lu Li waved his sword and summoned seven flying swords.

At the same time, Lu Li used his other hand to make a spell and shouted towards Chen Tang: "Get up!"

call!
In an instant, flames ignited on the seven flying swords. The temperature rose rapidly and the power increased greatly.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, trapping Chen Tang inside!

Chen Tang looked fearless as he swung his golden hammer to block the seven flying swords around him.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

With a series of crisp sounds, the seven flying swords were hit by Chen Tang's golden hammer. The flames dissipated, revealing their true bodies. They trembled one by one and almost fell from mid-air.

The power of Chen Tang's hammer is so terrifying, how can these flying swords compete with the golden hammer?

Lu Li looked solemn as he tried hard to control the flying sword in mid-air while changing the spells in his hands.

call!
Flames ignited again on the seven flying swords, and they were even stronger than before.

Oh oh oh!
The seven flying swords rushed towards Chen Tang again. The flames on the swords continued to lengthen and turned into fire snakes, surrounding Chen Tang!

Chen Tang continued to swing the hammer and smash things around.

However, this time, these fire snakes became extremely agile, constantly turning and moving in the air, and did not fight against Chen Tang's golden hammer at all.

Lu Li responded quickly.

Chen Tang is too strong, and he is using a heavy weapon like the golden hammer. There is no chance of winning if we fight him head-on.

In terms of agility, speed and versatility, the flying sword is far superior to the golden hammer.

There were four flying swords that entangled Chen Tang's golden hammer.

The other three flying swords turned into fire snakes, constantly biting at the flaws exposed by Chen Tang.

Chen Tang swung the hammer with both arms, and his whole body was bound to be exposed to flaws. The three fire snakes took advantage of the opportunity and attacked frantically!
Chen Tang frowned slightly.

When Xuanmen practitioners reach the Nascent Soul stage, they have many more methods to practice.

Not only can he control the flying sword, but he also has many mystical techniques to assist him. It is versatile and extremely powerful.

And this left protector Lu Li was obviously stronger than the Yuanying Zhenjun he had seen before!
Although he was protected by his body light, the three fire snakes could not hurt him for the time being.

But under the continuous biting of the three fire snakes, his body light became noticeably dimmer, and the purple-gold divine light flickered.

If he continues like this, he will probably be worn down to death by Master Lu Li!
"Master, kill him. Kill him quickly!"

Yuan Taiping couldn't help but yell when he saw Lu Li had the upper hand.

"Humph!"

Chen Tang snorted coldly, swung away the four flying swords in front of him, ignored the three fire snakes biting him, stomped his feet on the ground, suddenly jumped into the air, stared at Lu Li with eyes wide open, and shouted: "You will also take my hammer!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Tang threw the golden hammer in his hand out.

call!
A ball of golden light hit over.

This is too fast!

Lu Li didn't expect that Chen Tang would be able to do this.

This is not part of any special move; it is simply an improvisation.

This golden hammer looked heavier than a thousand pounds, and Chen Tang had thrown it with all his strength. She had no way of resisting the force and could only dodge.

"Your Majesty, run away!"

The Xuanwu guards guarding Yuan Taiping quickly raised the alarm.

Rumble!
An earth-shattering bang!

The golden hammer smashed heavily on the inner city, and the huge impact force directly smashed a huge gap in the wall.

Click, click, click!
A shocking crack appeared on the wall of the inner city, running through the entire wall!
Countless pieces of gravel flew everywhere.

Several Xuanwu guards who were protecting Yuan Taiping were hit by the rubble, which pierced their armor and killed them on the spot!
Yuan Taiping was so frightened that his face turned pale. He ran and crawled down the city wall and rushed towards the inner courtyard.

Lu Li had just dodged, and before he could stand firmly, he saw another ball of golden light falling down!
"what!"

Lu Li screamed and dodged to the side.

The second golden hammer was thrown out by Chen Tang!

Although he was not hit hard by the golden light, he was still scratched, and his tendons and bones were broken. He could no longer lift one of his arms.

All the mysterious flying swords were useless after Chen Tang smashed them like that.

Lu Li’s face turned pale. He sacrificed his last flying sword, jumped onto the sword, turned into a stream of light, and fled into the distance.
