The world is like a prison, my body is holy

Chapter 26 Falling short of success

"Peng Ying has surrendered, are you still going to resist?"

As soon as Wang Wen finished fighting, Xu Ergou, who was fighting with a group of Beggar Gang disciples, immediately shouted, "Surrender quickly and you might get a lighter sentence. If you resist to the end, you will be killed or alive!"

Upon seeing this, the Beggar Gang disciples who reacted quickly turned around silently and rushed towards the crowd, while those who reacted slowly were still holding their swords and looking around hesitantly.

Seeing that the difference in numbers between the two sides was not too great, Xu Ergou decisively shouted, "Go ahead, take them down and claim the credit!"

A group of Cao Gang disciples who had been holding back their anger for a long time dispersed their formation and rushed forward shouting loudly to capture the stupid Beggar Gang disciples.

"Put down the knife..."

"I told you to put down the knife!"

"Kneel down before me if you don't want to die!"

"Can you try moving again?"

The Beggar Gang disciples fled and were captured, and this two-way ambush finally came to an end.

"Brother, how are you?"

Xu Ergou took back Wang Wen's sword, walked quickly to his side, held him and asked in a low voice.

As soon as he started, he felt that his elder brother's whole body was shaking violently.

"It's okay, just a little weak."

Wang Wen broke free from his support and immediately said with a smile, "Not bad, Ergou. You shouted those words properly just now."

When Xu Ergou heard this, the smug smile on his face was harder to suppress than AK, but he pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen pigs run?"

Wang Wen couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha..."

Xu Ergou's words gave him an inexplicable sense of comedy, as if a gangster had turned into a policeman, holding a machete and skillfully saying to the bad guy, "I don't have to tell you now, but everything you say will become evidence in court."

The big show here ended, and the spectators around who had been watching the excitement were preparing to disperse with a sense of reluctance.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "There's more excitement to watch over at Temple Street," and the crowd immediately rushed towards Temple Street.

"Temple Street?"

Xu Ergou scratched his head in confusion: "There's no temple fair today, right?"

"broken!"

Wang Wen was stunned for a second, then suddenly realized: "It must be that the brothers in the prison ran into the White Lotus Sect members!"

Tonight's action was both a personal vendetta and a public matter. Naturally, he would not play the role of a hero and not even say hello to the Chief Astronomical Observer.

According to the plan he and Cheng Xian had agreed upon, as soon as they caught a big fish, support from the Dusi Tianjian would immediately follow.

But now they've almost mopped the floor clean, and still no one from the Metropolitan Observatory has shown up. Clearly, something went wrong somewhere...

Apart from the White Lotus Sect, Wang Wen couldn't think of any other problems.

Those bastards really want to kill him...

"Qing Ge'er."

Wang Wen took the sword from Xu Ergou and shouted, "Qing'er, leave two men behind to finish the job. The rest of you, follow me!"

After saying this, he ran towards Temple Street with his knife in hand, shouting as he ran: "Officials are doing business, get out of the way!" The onlookers who were blocking the road had just witnessed his brutal feat of beating five or six people to death. When they heard his shout, a passage for horses to pass through appeared in the crowded crowd in an instant.

Wang Wen led his men through the crowd and rushed into Temple Street...

Before he got close, just as he heard the sound of fighting, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure in a high hat and a wide belt flying lightly across the street. He turned his head quickly, but he didn't see what the man looked like, but he saw that the man was holding a bloody head in his hand.

"Fuck!"

Wang Wen screamed in surprise and slammed on the brakes, feeling the urge to turn around and run away.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Xu Ergou, who was following behind him, did not notice the figure and asked curiously.

Wang Wen glanced at him, then at the crowd of people following behind him. He took a deep breath to steady himself, then turned and continued to charge forward. "It's nothing...be smart, everyone. Pay attention to my actions. If I charge, you charge. If I retreat, you retreat!"

After saying that, he continued to move towards the direction where the fighting sound came from, but his speed slowed down a lot.

As soon as Wang Wen approached, he heard Cheng Xian's powerful roar: "This place has been surrounded by our Astronomical Observatory. Why don't you surrender quickly?"

Looking more closely, the Si Tianwei, who was dressed in black and had a sword and neatly armored, and the masked gangster, who was dressed in messy clothes and had a white scarf tied on his arm, were clearly distinguished and easy to distinguish at a glance.

Wang Wen felt relieved and waved his hand, saying, "Form a formation and press forward slowly!"

After saying this, he once again led the charge towards the battlefield, shouting as he went, "Don't panic, Master Cheng! I'm here with five hundred brothers... Kill!"

He leaped into the battlefield and chopped down two masked gangsters with his sword as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Cheng Xian, who was at the center of the battlefield, heard Wang Wen's shout and instantly understood what he meant. He laughed loudly and said, "Brothers, reinforcements have arrived. Follow me and kill these scum..."

When the masked gangsters heard the two men's shouts, they turned their heads to look in the direction where Wang Wen and the others were coming from, and saw a sea of ​​dark figures blocking the entire street. Their morale, which was already low, plummeted to the bottom in an instant. Before their leader could react, a "clang" sound of weapons falling to the ground was heard from the crowd.

This sound was like a signal. In an instant, the sound of weapons crashing to the ground echoed, and all the masked criminals fled in all directions...

Seeing this, the Sitian Guards were greatly encouraged and shouted in unison: "Brothers, catch them!"

"Kill them for me!"

"Eradicate all evil!"

"Don't let anyone escape..."

Wang Wen shuttled among the fleeing masked gangsters. When he saw a mess of clothes, he would chop it with a knife, and then rush to the next one without even looking at him.

But usually, the masked gangster who was hit by his knife, even if he had quick reaction and blocked his knife with his sword, would be shocked by the tremendous force of his knife and vomit blood on the spot and collapse to the ground.

During the fierce battle with Peng Ying just now, Wang Wen seemed to have realized something, but he couldn't explain what it was exactly.

He only felt that his muscle and bone strength and hidden energy had merged into one, and were indistinguishable from each other. His combat power had been improved by at least one level compared to before!
"Da Wen, beware of that evil thief!"

As Wang Wen was hacking at the man, he suddenly heard Cheng Xian's loud roar. He raised his eyes and saw a thin figure covered in a loose black robe and a white turban, running towards him at a pace of one foot.

With just one glance, he stomped his feet hard, used the force to retreat, and at the same time shot the official knife in his hand forward.

The thin figure didn't even look at him, but waved his sleeves and shot out a yellow talisman to meet Wang Wen's official sword.

With a loud bang, the yellow talisman turned into a fireball as big as a washbasin and exploded, blowing the official sword away on the spot.

When the flames died down, there was no trace of the thin figure left...
