Chapter 51: One Cut

"People in the underworld call me 'The Old Man with the Bamboo Cane'. My favorite thing in life is to smash people's brains and suck out their marrow, because it's truly delicious."

The old man in the straw raincoat spoke next, his eyes fixed on Sun Changyu and the groom's heads, and he gently tapped the flooded street with the bamboo stick in his hand.

It was as if he was calculating the strength and feel of the blow to the two men's heads.

Then, there was a moment of silence in the rain.

The old man in the straw raincoat turned his eyes and looked at the two men in black on the roofs of the shops on both sides, and said:

"Are you two not going to reveal your identities?"

Hearing this, one of the masked men in black slowly shook his head and said:

"No need. After the killing, you will know who did it."

After hearing this, the old man in the straw raincoat didn't care. He looked at the carriage in front and said:
"Don't rush to kill the prince yet. Once we've dealt with these two eunuchs and lackeys, we can each take their own heads based on our own abilities."

Hearing this, the two blue-robed swordsmen said:
"So good."

The next moment, the true energy in the two men's bodies boiled, and the long swords at their waists trembled and whistled as they were unsheathed in an instant.

It transformed into two clear rays of light, shot out from the air like lightning, and shot straight towards the groom and the eunuch Sun Changyu.

The old man in the straw raincoat did not delay either. He slapped the bamboo stick in front of him with his withered palm.

The bamboo stick began to spin rapidly, stirring up the surrounding wind and rain, and also flew towards Sun Changyu and the other man.

At the same time, the seemingly hunched body of the old man in the straw raincoat suddenly surged with true energy, emitting a scorching red light. He followed the bamboo stick like a flying rabbit without missing a step.

When the bamboo stick arrives, the person will arrive, and the murderous intent will follow like a shadow.

The eunuch Sun Changyu said nothing and just grabbed something in the air.

The rain around him fell in front of him, and under the cover of Kui Yin's true energy, it turned into cold ice spikes. The next moment, it shot towards the old man in the straw raincoat who was rushing towards him like a volley of arrows.

The groom turned around and ran behind the carriage, holding the knife in both hands, and suddenly slashed at the two flying lights.

The blade emitted several feet of sharp sword light. The rain curtain in front of the groom turned into mist under the blazing sword light, and a sword shadow that stretched across the long street was spread out.

A clanging sound, louder than thunder in the sky, rang out in the rain. Lights of swords and knives intertwined in the air, and then suddenly dissipated and disappeared.

"Something!"

"What a domineering swordsmanship."

The voices of the two blue-clothed swordsmen came from far away and got closer. The two intercepted rays of light had fallen into their hands at some point and transformed into two winding blue steel snakes, heading straight for the groom's ribs.

"There are quite a few nameless masters in the Tianjin Guards, but if we two join forces, we can defeat the gods and kill you easily."

The two blue-robed swordsmen laughed in unison.

As the words entered the groom's ears, his face changed drastically.

The two men were too fast, and the swords in each other's hands were even faster. It was so fast that when he reacted, he only had time to block with his sword, and he was blasted back by the powerful sword energy.

Bang bang bang!
The groom's feet plowed a ditch several feet deep in the long street, and the entire blue brick street surface several feet wide around it exploded and flew away.

It briefly stirred up a cloud of lime dust in the rain, but was quickly extinguished by the heavy rain.

Click!

The groom lowered his head, and the long sword in his hand suddenly cracked, then broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

There were two sword marks on his waist, and bright red blood flowed down with the rain, staining the puddle beneath him red.

At the same time, the cold ice spikes launched by the eunuch Sun Changyu were crushed by the old man in the straw raincoat with his bamboo stick. He then flashed out, condensed the Kui Yin Qi in one palm, and launched another "Kui Yin Mysterious Palm".

In an instant, the air was frozen by the cold air, and the accumulated water on the ground condensed into a layer of dark black ice.

The old man in the straw raincoat was not afraid at all when he saw this. The bamboo stick in his hand was like a red-hot iron, surrounded by red light and emitting hot steam. The tip of the stick directly collided with the Kui Yin Xuan Palm.

The next moment, the terrifying aftermath of the true energy shook and spread, causing the two high walls and shops around the two people to collapse, turning them into ruins.

But the chief eunuch Sun Changyu was obviously inferior to him, and was driven back by the old man in the straw raincoat with a stick, and only stopped in front of the carriage.

"How about it?"

The blue bricks under his feet shattered into powder. Only then did Sun Changyu release the strength from his body and asked the groom behind him with a grim expression.

The groom lowered his head and said nothing. He suddenly tore off the robe that was torn by the sword energy, wrapped the wound on his waist simply, and said calmly:

"I can't win, and I'm probably going to die here. I'll try my best to stop them later. Eunuch Sun, take the others and find a chance to escape."

Upon hearing this, Sun Changyu's eyes darkened and he subconsciously glanced at the carriage behind him.

At this moment, Li Musheng happened to lift the curtain of the carriage and looked over, shaking his head and saying:
"You guys can't do this either."

As he spoke, he pointed to the old man in straw raincoat walking slowly in the distance and said:
"That old man's martial arts skills are stronger than yours, and he can even restrain your true energy. How can we fight him?"

Then, he looked at the groom again and raised his eyebrows.
"You're even worse off. Two against one, outnumbered, you have no chance at all."

Hearing this, Sun Changyu took a deep breath and said in a feminine voice:

"Mr. Li should have some impressive martial arts skills. Why don't you think about how to escape from these people?"

At this time, the groom did not speak, but just held the broken hilt of the knife in his hand and said:
"I have worked with Eunuch Sun for many years. After I die, please give my pension money to my daughter. I don't trust anyone else in Tianjin Guard."

"Also, now is the time to escape!"

After saying that, the groom grasped the hilt of the sword and suddenly rushed towards the two blue-clothed swordsmen who were looking at this side with a smile.

He left a shadow and disappeared from his original position, leaving only a hollow human silhouette in the rain.

"Que Dao Zhan!"

The groom shouted in a deep voice, and holding the half-handle of the sword in both hands, he chopped down vertically at the two swordsmen in front of him through the air.

hum!
In an instant, the whole world was shaking, and the raindrops falling from the sky suddenly stopped and danced in the air.

Whether it was the sound of rain, the sound of water flowing in the culvert, or the muffled thunder in the sky, all sounds disappeared in an instant.

On the empty and dilapidated street where the carriage was parked, a golden sword shadow that was more than ten feet long quietly rose up.

The golden blade shadow was domineering, sharp, and dazzling, as if all the light between heaven and earth was absorbed by it.

The blade light cut through the void, causing it to twist and collapse, and the next moment, it instantly fell towards the street ahead with a loud bang.

This knife was extremely fast. From the moment the golden knife shadow appeared to the moment it fell and disappeared like a pillar supporting the sky, no one could see its trajectory clearly.

But the next moment, the long street in front collapsed instantly under this knife, turning into a narrow and deep pit full of stone chips and mud.

……

The groom stared at everything in front of him, his eyes wide open, and muttered:

"Is this...really the knife I drew?"
