Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike

Chapter 117 Azure Dragon Emerges from the Water, But Where is the Dragon?

"Master Ma is absolutely right, and Master Yu as well. Today's battle depends entirely on the two of you."

As for Mr. Xia Yun, it would be even better if he could lend a hand.

If you're too lazy to do anything, then just drink and make merry.

I wouldn't dare boast about anything else in my building, but the girls are absolutely stunning.

"No matter what happens afterward, Chairman Zhou, I want all of your newly arrived thirty-year-old girls."

Mingzi Xiayun, a disciple of the Great Master Wuchang Benyuan of the Great Snow Mountain, was a handsome monk in his late twenties with powdered face.

He immediately asked for thirty of the most outstanding courtesans from the Wan Hua Lou, showing his enormous appetite.

However, Zhou Yuanqing showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Instead, he asked with concern, "It is an honor for our Qing Company that Master Xia Yun has taken a liking to the young lady in the building."

Besides what was promised afterwards, a generous gift was also presented.

"We have heard that Venerable Shanku dislikes women and has a fondness for blood and food. Our Qing Company will do its best to satisfy that."

Hearing this, the gaunt middle-aged man, with a somber expression and dark green pupils like will-o'-the-wisps, nodded without saying a word.

Clearly, they were satisfied with these conditions.

He believed that Zhou Yuanqing wouldn't dare to lie to him.

"My dear brothers and sisters-in-law, I won't say much more. From now on, whatever I have will be yours."

We share both good times and bad.

It's a pity that Lao Ba was betrayed by that brat; it's truly regrettable.

"Brother, after we kill that man, we'll come and pay our respects to Eighth Brother, so he can rest in peace."

Zhao Er said in a muffled voice.

Gu San Niang, Li Si Ye, Liu Wu Ye, and Hu Qiniang all drank the blood wine from their bowls, exuding a chilling aura of murderous intent.

Everyone is making a final pep talk.

Everyone should be prepared to perform their duties and turn the brothel into a den of dragons and tigers, ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

Suddenly, I heard a clear whistling sound.

The whistling sound was clear and sharp, continuous and unending.

Like a sharp spear, piercing through the deep darkness.

The group heard the whistling sound.

Everyone felt a sharp pain in their eardrums.

In an instant, the hairs on my entire body stood on end.

Just one sound was enough to make one feel as if a gun was stuck in their throat.

The intensity of their killing intent and the strength of their murderous aura were terrifying.

"They're here."

He was so confident before.

Their faces look terrible right now.

The first to stand up was Ma Gui, one of the "Three Divine Spears of Luo Tong" and known as the "Soul-Hooking Spear".

It was agreed that he would take the first battle.

To achieve the greatest merit —

However, after hearing the clear whistle, he discovered that the crimson spear, to which his life was tied, couldn't help but let out a slight mournful cry.

This is, of course, an illusion.

But the image is born from the heart, and the soldier resembles his master.

If the gun trembles, it means the person is afraid.

"How is that possible?"

I am a sharpshooter.

Ma Gui roared, unable to face the slight fear that arose in his heart, and flew into a rage.

"I'll do it."

With a heavy stomp of his foot, he cracked the floorboards.

One man, one gun, smashed through the railing like a piercing cloud and the moon, and hurtled diagonally down.

The whistling stopped.

A young man dressed in red and wearing a red and white mask appeared at the door.

It was Li Xin.

"Here today, there is no hope of survival."

A mocking smile appeared on Nezha's lips, his eyes cold and sharp.

As he rushed into the brothel, the rain behind him parted and then joined again.

Seven or eight burly men in black standing at the door let out a muffled groan as blood splattered from their throats.

He collapsed to the ground.

With a single shot, he killed eight people.

As he passed by, he left behind a trail of afterimages, and the force of his energy shattered the gate into pieces.

Seeing Ma Gui thrust his spear down, he didn't stop even for a moment.

call out----

Gunfire erupted.

A flash of cold light shot straight up.

[Spiritual Ability] Blessing, [Agility] Blessing, [Critical Strike] Blessing —

The force of heaven and earth transformed into a falling, slanting sun, which suddenly exploded.

From the softest of forces, the strongest emerges.

A ripple, like fire and waves, had already risen along the gun barrel.

The gun barrel was glowing red, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted.

"What kind of gun is this?"

Ma Guiben was full of confidence.

He thought that once this shot landed, the ricocheting bullets would surely break through all his attacks and take his life.

Unexpectedly, half of the opponent's gun barrel turned fiery red.

The speed of that bright silver dragon-shaped spear suddenly increased by nearly double.

His Vermilion Bird Spear was still half a foot away from his opponent, while the musket was already at his throat.

Fast, too fast.

Ma Gui tilted his head to the side.

The spear blade grazed his neck.

As a deep scorch mark appeared on his neck, the gun bounced and sprang, its blade flashing as it swept across.

By this time, his spear had not yet reached his opponent.

"Help me."

He only had time to scream half a word.

A head had already been detached from the neck and flown off.

Blood poured down like a torrent —

In a single encounter, Ma Gui, a renowned figure in the capital and a master of Bajiquan spear fighting, was killed.

A scream came from upstairs.

Two figures fell down simultaneously.

One man leaped up like a snow leopard pouncing on its prey, his blade flashing repeatedly.

A person waved their arms, as if they had grown eight arms.

Iron lotus seeds, caltrops, throwing knives, steel cones, and copper coins—spinning and raining down like a storm.

Li Xin took a step and leaped forward, his toes lightly touching the red pillar, his figure already like a swallow soaring through the clouds.

The spear trembled slightly.

The spear tip transformed into a ring the size of a water tank, encircling all the hidden weapons within it.

collapse----

The universe trembled violently.

As the hidden weapons scattered and flew everywhere, he turned to the side and took out a golden-yellow fire brick.

With a snap.

It was already thrown onto the head of the middle-aged man with leopard fists who was pouncing on him.

The brick was thrown quickly and suddenly, and after it was thrown, it was engulfed in flames.

puff----

A brick smashed Leopard Fist Li Si's head to pieces.

Amidst the splattering of blood, the man's blade flashed, and his corpse fell to the ground.

They couldn't even get close enough to get close.

When the eight-armed Gu Sanniang saw that her various hidden weapons—throwing diagonally, striking straight, and attacking horizontally—were completely neutralized by a single spear thrust, her expression changed drastically. She twisted her waist and prepared to flee diagonally backward.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin's leaping figure seemed to be on flat ground, his feet treading the air as he advanced rapidly, his spear moving like lightning.

swoosh————

Gu San Niang felt a slight pain in her heart.

He was stunned.

The gleaming silver dragon spear had already pierced through his left chest and gone straight into his back.

My heart exploded.

She immediately went limp and fell straight down, her eyes losing their luster.

"Third sister, fourth brother—"

Zhou Yuanqing cried out in pain.

With a flash of red, Li Xin had already reached the second floor.

"The Azure Dragon Emerges from the Water Formation, but where is the dragon?"

In a single leap, he killed three masters.

Among them were two highly skilled leaders.

Furthermore, there was Ma Gui, a renowned master of Bajiquan, known as one of the Three Divine Spears.

In an instant, murderous intent filled the Wan Hua Lou, crashing in like a tidal wave, causing a violent shock to everyone's hearts.

"I would like to ask Master Yu to join forces with me."

Zhou Yuanqing sensed something was wrong and immediately spoke up.

The fight had just begun when the enemy took the initiative, displaying incredible marksmanship and already demoralizing our side by a significant margin.

This can't go on.

If they fight individually, they will likely be defeated one by one by the enemy.

Therefore, he immediately invited Jade Linking of the Sky Eagle to join him in the attack.

As fellow masters at the Transformation Realm level, they looked out for each other.

He shouldn't lose his life like Ma Gui did, due to a moment of carelessness.

As for Akiko Daisetsuzan and Shura...

He had agreed beforehand that he wouldn't force the other party to do anything, so he felt awkward asking for help now.

However, I imagine those two wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Sitting here, trying to distance yourself from the situation? It's not that easy.

Therefore, taking action is not about helping, but about saving oneself.

Even faster than Zhou Yuanqing were Zhao Er, Liu Wu, and Hu Qiniang.

The three men's eyes turned red when they saw how tragically Gu San Niang and Li Si had died.

Over the years, the six gang leaders had become like brothers. They had done all sorts of bad things and enjoyed all the riches.

The bond forged through fighting and arguing may not be particularly deep, but it's one of mutual antagonism, where neither can live without the other.

Two people died, and they felt the pain deeply; they could no longer bear it.

First came Zhao Er, who roared like a tiger, his steel claws extending nearly a foot. With a clang, they grabbed Li Xin's chest.

Hu Qiniang moved like a snake, her Emei dagger spitting out like a venomous snake's tongue, piercing Li Xin's lower abdomen close to the ground.

At the same time, Liu Wu let out a long cry, his figure rising higher and lowering from above—

With the pickaxe in his hand, as if digging for medicinal herbs or planting crops, he struck Li Xin on the head with a single stroke.

"act recklessly."

At this moment, Li Xin activated the divine intent of [Nezha the Third Prince].

Their speed was the fastest among the three traitors.

Throughout his countless battles across the entire Three Altars Sea Alliance, the master of stealing kills was a professional.

With a temporary 44 points of agility, coupled with the passive talent of [Lightness], and a 27.5 spirit boost, Li Xin's reflexes are now incredibly fast.

The simultaneous attack by the three appeared to him like a slow-motion scene in a movie.

You can see the muscles twitching on everyone's face, the bulging veins on their arms, and the transmission of every bit of force in each other's bodies.

One shot fired, and it spread like wildfire.

Chi———

It was like one shot, yet also like three shots fired simultaneously.

Three beams of light flashed and disappeared in front of Li Xin.

Zhao Er, Liu Wu, and Hu Qiniang all shuddered simultaneously.

They were shot in the throat one after another, and it was impossible to tell who was shot first.

Blood gushed out.

The three of them fell to the ground with a series of thuds.

As a result, Zhou Yuanqing only managed to take half a step forward and couldn't even manage to block.

After firing that shot, Li Xin didn't stop.

One move: Yaksha probes the sea with a swift thrust.

The Heavenly Eagle Jade Linked Double Rings barely managed to block in front of him before being knocked away.

A red shadow flashed, and the butt of the gun swept backward.

[Fat Dragon] had just lightly struck with the tip of his staff when he was swept in the waist and abdomen by the butt of his spear.

In the midst of his busy work, he managed to block with his stick, but was sent flying backward by the blow, feeling his arms go numb and his bones feel like they were about to break.

Mingzi Xiayun, who had been calm and collected, stroking the smooth skull with his right hand in a leisurely manner, was now tense all over.

Seizing the opportunity, the skeleton shot out through the air, letting out a sharp, ghostly scream.

At the same time, he stood up and slapped with one palm.

The palm suddenly swelled to twice its normal size.

Like a fan, it patted Li Xin's chest.

Li Xin sneered.

The cold, sharp light in his eyes suddenly changed, turning into a frenzied and violent one.

The divine will had already shifted to the [Great Sage Equal to Heaven] moments before.

"Want to fight me?"

His power surged dramatically in an instant.

The attack force of three to four thousand catties was transformed into a blazing sun, and a palm strike was unleashed.

Kara-la ...

A series of explosions occurred.

Mingzi Buyun's expression suddenly froze.

His confident White Bone Handprint attack was actually shattered and broken by Li Xin's single palm strike.

Fiery red ripples swept across the water like waves.

His entire body trembled violently at the same time.

Half of his body collapsed and deformed, his internal organs were displaced, and blood flowed through his seven orifices.

It instantly turned into a tattered doll and flew more than three zhang away.

It crashed into the wall and turned into a bloody mess.

"How is that possible?"

Shura Mountain's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he swung his twin blades with exquisite and mysterious power, slashing towards Li Xin.

Li Xin saw it clearly.

With a slight adjustment of his blade, this guy completely sealed off all the directions in which he could move.

"Why can't it be impossible?"

It's sealed off, even if it's sealed off.

However, Li Xin had no intention of dodging at this moment.

A surge of violent killing intent welled up within him.

With a single move, fire blazed across the sky.

They used guns as clubs to beat each other.

flutter----

It's hard to describe the ferocity and power of that blow.

The air boiled and roared, and the front half of the spear was already a fiery red.

The Asura Twin Blades shattered into countless fragments the moment they touched the staff.

The gun barrel fell.

With a loud thud, his head was smashed into a pulp.

"Where's the water coming out?"

"Where's the dragon?"

Li Xin turned his head, his eyes flashing with a blood-red light.

Looking back at [Fat Dragon] Zhou Yuanqing, his face was full of disappointment.

"this one?"

Li Xin turned his head, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light: "Where are the tickets?"

I wish you all a healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
