I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 29 Pinghai No. 3
The Fourth Master leaned sideways, landed on the stake, bent down, and drew his sword.

All in one go.

"Qiang!"

A ray of sword light passed across the eaves in front of the hall like a crescent moon, and the dark sky suddenly brightened under the eaves.

The four fish monsters that rushed in on the waves lost their consciousness almost at the same time after the sword light passed by.

The original ferocity in their eyes turned into fear because of the tiger's roar, and after the sword light, their eyes dimmed instantly.

The light suddenly brightened and dimmed, but there was a person standing in the front, a tall old man with a short white beard, short gray hair, standing with a sword.

Standing alone with a sword in hand, he exuded an imposing aura of someone ready to mount a horse with a sword in hand.

The priest of the fishman tribe outside raised the strange staff in his hand, as if to cast a spell, but found that the four elite subordinates he had selected were actually killed by a sword.

Not only did the fish-man priest in the courtyard of Pei's Sword Hall not expect this, but even Aunt Wu in the next room did not expect this.

"As expected of the Sword Slaying Hall, which has stood tall in Hai City for nearly a hundred years." Yu Xuanji exclaimed in amazement, but then changed the subject, saying, "But you're only relying on the ghosts and gods in the temple. How many times can you withstand it? Moreover, as far as I know, someone higher up has assessed the level of ghostly activity in your 'temple' and believes that you're losing control of it, so they're preparing to take it away."

Mr. Pei Si did not say anything, because he knew for sure that if his health failed and Pei Ju could not inherit this temple, then this "Mountain Jun Temple" would definitely be taken away. Otherwise, the Zhan Gui Sword Hall would be swallowed up. Rather than being swallowed up, it would be more appropriate for it to be taken away by the Super Committee.

If that day really comes, it will certainly be a pity, as we may not be able to face our ancestors after death.

However, at this moment today, he said nonchalantly: "Since our ancestor Degong was able to obtain this temple, it is normal for the descendants to lose it. There is no such thing as enjoying all the blessings. There is loss and gain, and it is all determined by fate."

Just then, a female voice rang out from outside: "But you're unwilling to accept this. You've always suspected that someone somehow gained access to your family's Tiger Temple and caused your gifted son to die there. This led to him being haunted by a strange demon and ultimately dying young."

A woman walked out from the rain. She looked very heroic and her exact age could not be determined. However, she seemed to be as carefree as a fish in water as she walked in the rain.

The rain fell on her body, slid down her hair and penetrated into her neck.

Her facial skin was in good condition and looked very white. In the rain, one could vaguely see scales beneath her skin.

This is Jiang Mianxia. Her ancestors were members of the [Forbidden Foreign Affairs Investigation Team], and today she is the deputy director of the Jingling Bureau. Of course, she knows a lot of things that others don’t know.

At this time, Han Yitong stepped forward and said, "The Super Committee has unified rules for whether to collect spiritual fields that are at risk of losing control. Even if they are collected, they will not be taken into the possession of a specific person. Instead, they will be placed in the Mysterious Item Shelter."

"The spiritual field is entered through the spirit, and the spirit and the spirit are one, so it is full of surprises. It is no secret that some people enter a fixed spiritual field through other means. If you try to sow discord in this way, you are miscalculating. Even if it is true as you say, I believe that the Fourth Master will not join you and will come to you with his own sword."

"Haha." Jiang Mianxia smiled and said, "In that case, this priest will take the temple first and present it to our king. From now on, there will be one more real temple in the world. It is too much of a waste to have the temple in your hands." Jiang Mianxia said after a sneer.

"With your ability, you can't do it. You'd better think about how to escape. The fish monsters causing trouble everywhere will be cleared out soon. By then, you probably won't even have a chance to get into the sewer." Han Yitong said calmly and seriously.

As a first-level researcher at the Forbidden Secrets Society, she naturally held a high position. However, Jiang Mianxia, ​​previously the deputy director of the Spirit Purification Bureau, also held real power. Both women, of similar age, had heard of each other and, though they had never worked together, they felt a spiritual connection. However, upon their first meeting, one of them had already fallen.

"It won't be long before this place becomes a vast ocean. This city will decay and wither in the sea, becoming a paradise for countless fish. Or perhaps, a hundred years from now, we will tell our descendants that this is the city we conquered, and this place may become a wonder."

"You think too much." Han Yitong sneered and said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, the Super Committee of Hai City has discovered your existence long ago. It's just that you are hiding too deep. In order to lure you out, they gave you an opportunity. And the target is not only you hiding in the sewers, but also the king who is vaguely behind you."

Jiang Mianxia's expression changed, and the fine scales that had been hidden and barely visible suddenly emerged. Furthermore, the gills that had been closed and barely visible before now opened.

As if to confirm her words, suddenly a flame shot up into the sky.

And three beams of fire shot up into the sky, brightening up the dark sky.

Jiang Mianxia's eyes changed again, and she said, "These things of yours can't hurt my king."

"This is Pinghai No. 3 from the Meteorological Bureau. Let's wait and see." After Han Yitong finished speaking, the scales on Jiang Mianxia's face opened and closed, as if she was exhaling.

"Let's go!" After she said that, her whole body turned into a puddle of water and fell to the ground. Yu Xuanji, who was inside, also turned around and walked away on the waves. Although there was only accumulated water flowing on the ground, he seemed to be running on the waves, jumping and skipping, and disappeared in the rain in the blink of an eye.

The rain stopped soon, and at this moment, three huge explosions were suddenly heard almost simultaneously.

The huge waves heading towards the sea city were blown away. Not long after, all kinds of big fish emerged from the huge waves. These fish actually grew human-like hands, and their bodies were also evolving into human-like shapes.

The strange and high-pitched chanting disappeared, and although the waves were still big, they lacked that menacing feeling.

It became calmer as it got closer to the coast, but one could still see many strange things coming with the tide.

This time, the chanting seemed to not only drive the mermen and stir up the sea water, but also summon some monsters in the sea.

People on the coast were still evacuating inside.

Outside the Pei family's Sword Hall, there was suddenly a sound of quick footsteps coming.

A high school student who looked still a teenager but was already tall ran towards the alley. It was Pei Ju.

Before he reached the yard, he shouted loudly, "Grandpa, is everything okay at home?" As he spoke, he walked towards the training hall.

Fourth Master Pei frowned slightly as he looked at his grandson who had run back.

And Han Yitong was also staring at him, examining him.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Pei Ju asked puzzledly.
