A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 24 Tonight's Firelight is Fierce

No fireworks were needed; when the shouts and gunshots echoed throughout the General's Mansion, Luohan, Dianmu, and the others who had been patrolling and defending the southern riverbank day and night had already noticed them.

The Goddess of Lightning flashed her sword: "Not good! Go and get reinforcements!"

Xiao Yang said sharply, "Wait a minute, could this be a feint?"

The Arhat and the Goddess of Lightning exchanged glances.

Luo Han said in a deep voice, "The General of Guangzhou is a first-rank official. In terms of actual status, he is even higher than the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi. Nalando has been in this position for many years and is very powerful. If something really happens to him and we don't go to his aid, he will probably look bad when he returns to the capital."

Xiao Yang immediately said, "We have to save this person. Let's take a small elite force with us, and leave the rest of the troops here to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos and trying to slip through."

"Long Wuchang and Xiang Fang both died at his hands. If it really is the Second Training, in a terrain like the General's Mansion, no matter how many people go, it will be useless."

Luo Han affirmed, and the three of them, leading some of the most elite assassins from the Imperial Household Department, did not follow the main street. Instead, they rushed back to the alleys in a few steps and went straight to the rooftops.

Dozens of figures rose and fell, running wildly away.

The total length of the Guangzhou city wall is only 9,700 meters. In reality, the internal urban area is only a few miles long in both directions. It is just that the various houses, stalls, rivers and boats make the paths too complicated.

Moreover, the hollow or solid nature of brick and earthen walls, bamboo sheds, and water flow can cause significant deviations in sound transmission. If a noise is heard in one place, it can take a long time for others to arrive if they cannot see obvious signs and rely on sound to search for the source.

However, the general's mansion was in a conspicuous location, and by walking directly onto the roof, they could return to the mansion from the south in almost an instant.

At this moment, the entire general's mansion was in chaos. Luohan looked down from the top of the wall and saw a large group of people carrying lanterns and torches, with guns and knives. Some were rushing to a remote place, but most were gathered to protect Nalando.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The general's mansion was originally quite large, so even if there were assassins, it wouldn't be easy to find a target. But their actions have now directly exposed where Nalando was at night.

Actually, you can't really blame them. Ordinary assassins, once their assassination attempt is discovered, either retreat on the spot or get entangled by the surrounding soldiers. They have no chance to go to a high place to survey the overall situation.

Unfortunately, the people they are now facing are so powerful that even if you searched the entire martial arts world, you might not be able to find more than ten top masters on the surface.

Just as Luohan uttered this curse, a figure suddenly emerged from among the various guards rushing towards Nalando, knocking over and sending seven or eight people flying in front of and beside him.

Nalando's bedroom shook violently, the door was smashed open, and a pig-like scream immediately came from inside.

Guan Luoyang burst into the bedroom, and just as he pushed aside the screen, two shadows attacked simultaneously from within the screams.

These two were Nalan Chong's personal bodyguards, hired at great expense and who had followed him for a long time. One of them practiced the Emei School's "Chasing Wind Short Stance" and concealed Emei daggers in his sleeves, making his close-quarters combat methods extremely dangerous.

Another one practices Huaquan (Flowery Fist), and his background is even more impressive. He is the son of the famous Huaquan King in Beijing. After the Huaquan King was killed by Zhengyi, the number one swordsman in China, he lost his family fortune and became a bodyguard in Guangzhou. His kung fu has improved a lot in recent years compared to when he was in Beijing.

Guan Luoyang could tell from their movements and speed that these two were not much different from the Crane Fist masters who used the Eastern-style crooked stance to ambush them in Diancheng.

However, in just over ten days, Guan Luoyang himself had become completely different.

He stood still, swung his arms, and slammed left and right. The one wielding the Emei dagger had his neck snapped and was slammed to the ground. The one practicing fancy boxing was sent flying backward, crashing into the wardrobe and falling down between broken wooden boards and clothes. His chest was caved in, and he stopped breathing.

Nalando had just raised his pistol when everything went black.

The chaise lounge inside the room was kicked to pieces by Guan Luoyang. Some of the wooden fragments hit Nalando in the face, causing his obese body to rise backward and upward before he fell down amidst splattering blood.

From the moment Nalando was awakened by the gunshots to now, only a few minutes have passed. All the wealth he had accumulated, the years of planning, and the preparations for a carefree and prosperous future had all come to an end with this sudden death, vanishing like a dream.

After killing the man, Guan Luoyang finally felt a little better, as he had been holding back his anger for half the night.

A sudden gust of wind blew behind us.

Luohan entered the room and immediately unleashed a cannon punch.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Ji Jike, the founder of the Divine Fist of Shanxi, lived in Shaolin for ten years in order to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Based on the famous "Snake, Crane, Tiger, Leopard and Dragon" Five Elements Fist of the Southern Shaolin at that time, he created the Six Postures Fist, named Xinyi Liuhe Fist, which can be summarized as: Chicken Leg, Eagle Claw, Dragon Body, Bear Shoulder, Tiger Embraces Head, Thunder Sound.

The essence of this boxing style was later passed down in Shanxi and Shaolin. When the Southern Shaolin Temple was burned down during the Qing Dynasty, many boxing manuals were also confiscated and taken to the Forbidden City.

Luohan was trained by the Imperial Household Department from a young age. He only received the true teachings at the age of twenty. After practicing for more than thirty years, he has now mastered the six stances and three essences of boxing. When he throws this cannon punch, it is as if thunder is shaking.

Guan Luoyang turned around and swung his arm, using his whip-like hand, which generated the most force, to clash head-on with Luohan's cannon fist.

Each side took a step back, and as their back feet landed, the floor tiles cracked, seemingly resulting in a draw.

Arhat was certain in his heart.

It seems that although this Green-Faced Demon has mastered the second stage of training, he is still somewhat lacking compared to Li Tongchen of Bajiquan, Sun Hanzhai who combines the three major internal martial arts, and Iron-Legged Buddha, who is now the leading figure of Xingyiquan.

As for the age difference between these people and the Blue-Faced Demon, humph, when it comes to fighting to the death, do you think we'll talk about age? No matter how talented a person is, after they die, they're no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

He made grunting noises, his latissimus dorsi muscles bulged high, and his arms bent backward, pulling back and then pushing out, a red mass rapidly expanding in his palms, like blood and fire.

Luo Han was also among those who participated in the martial arts demonstration in Tianjin. Although the most essential part of the manuscript was not in his hands when the Boxers were later suppressed, he still managed to obtain several moves that were exclusive to those who had achieved the second level of mastery, based solely on his early memories and the remaining parts of the manuscript.

Because he himself had mastered bone training, even if he forced himself to use it, he could only unleash the "Bodhidharma Crossing the River Hand," which was based on bone and skin training.

This move is derived from the pole-pole force in Bodhidharma Boxing and the unique striking force of Iron Sand Palm. It's like a person rowing a boat across a river, combining softness and strength. With this force, one can suddenly push off and cross the Yangtze River.

Having examined Long Wuchang's injuries, he knew that the best way to counter this move was to unleash the Arhat's Flip-Hand Hammer technique and fight head-on. In that case, Little Yang, the Goddess of Lightning, would surely arrive in time to kill the blue-faced ghost in the room.

Unexpectedly, Guan Luoyang met Guan Luoyang's powerful palm strike head-on with both hands in a grasping motion.

Grappling techniques are only suitable for striking joints and flesh. To directly confront someone head-on and attack with an attack is like trying to chop a hammer with a sharp knife—it's a sure way to get yourself killed.

Before Luohan could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his fingers. The claws opposite him had actually pierced through his fingers and palms. There seemed to be a bronze-colored pattern flashing, and the claws twisted hard at the same time.

"what!"

Luohan's fingers were broken, and just as he was about to raise his knee, his forefoot was stepped on by the other party.

Guan Luoyang withdrew his claws and delivered a powerful punch to the heart, sending the soldier flying out of the door and knocking down several soldiers near the door.

The kerosene lamp inside the room had fallen to the ground and was broken, but the flame was still burning.

Guan Luoyang shook the blood off his hands, bent down to wipe his palms, and a fire started on his palms. He then set the clothes in the wardrobe on fire, and then went to set fire to the windows and pillars.

Flames and smoke billowed everywhere. He flipped the entire bed over, smashed the door open, and burst out, gunshots rang out.

The commotion he wanted was only just beginning.
