Chapter 1257: Thirty Years of Searching for Swords (Part )
The shocking blood rain exploded like carefully set fireworks!

"Cang Hai Yi Dao", who had turned into a corpse in the first encounter, was still being pushed forward by a huge force. The bloodthirsty double swords used his body as a cover and slashed out frantically from behind, choosing the moment when the sword in Tie Tianying's hand was flawed.

At this moment, Tie Tianying roared angrily, and the knife in his hand danced. His body was like a whistling tornado. The corpse that pounced on him was like crashing into a huge meat grinder. The splashing of blood and flesh threw out eerie knife marks in the air.

In the martial arts world, when describing a master of swordsmanship, people often say that when this person wields the sword, even water cannot penetrate. At this moment, the long sword in Tie Tianying's hand may have really achieved such an effect. His cultivation over the years has reached its peak at this moment.

But even though his swordsmanship had reached the master level, it was hard for him to ignore the people around him who were eyeing him covetously at this moment.

Fan Zhong's iron fan smashed over, and Tun Yun's iron sleeves danced, also attacking Tie Tianying fiercely from behind! In an instant, Tie Tianying's body seemed to have three heads and six arms. His white hair was standing up, and his fierce eyes swept across Fan Zhong and Tun Yun. The slashing blade light covered all directions at the same time. He punched Fan Zhong in the face, exerted force with his feet, and used the Iron Mountain Lean to hit Tun Yun on the side amid the splashing of earth and rocks. Tun Yun's fists and palms were as fast as lightning, and there was no telling how many attacks he launched at the same time.

At that time, someone threw lime powder from a distance, someone threw a fishing net, Yue Yun pulled down the chain hammer with all his strength and then swung it furiously, Yin Ping moved quickly, and stabbed with his spear to try to rescue Tie Tianying. On the side of Tie Tianying, three people, including the double-bladed assassin, simultaneously offered killing moves to him, and the distance between the figures was shortened to an extremely dangerous level. Tie Tianying also used all his strength, and countless collisions, cutting sounds, metal and iron interlacing sounds, and blood and flesh flying sounds were heard.

Perhaps the most tragic thing was the corpse that was pushed forward. He was used as a shield, and in a blink of an eye he didn't know how many knife blows he was hit by. Then he was crashed to the side by Fan Zhong in the vortex of the master's killing move. Fan Zhong was swinging his iron fan and attacking Tie Tianying with fists and feet like rain, when he was suddenly squeezed by the figure. The fan and fists and feet immediately attacked him, smashing the face of his companion just a moment ago in the air.

But in just a short moment, the assassin with a flowered mask rushed in, and the two swords he swung left countless blood marks on Tie Tianying's body. Tun Yun also had some effective punches and kicks on the opponent. Fan Zhong didn't know the exact extent of Tie Tianying's injuries, but at this moment he used all his strength to push away the corpse that was in the way, just wanting to seize the opportunity and determine the outcome of the battle.

Just like the siege of Liu Dabiao many years ago, once an opportunity arises, victory or defeat is often decided in just a few breaths.

A few days ago, he saw the kid from Yinqiaofang and led him to kill Tie Tianying. It was just a casual move, but now it seems that his bet was right. When the situation reached a point where both sides were evenly matched, this kid who was obviously a killer actually achieved such a great result.

His inner strength was pushed to its peak, and he was about to roar with all his strength.

On one side of the field of vision, Yin Ping's spear had already swept over, forcing Tun Yun to leave the battle, but at this moment Tun Yun also knew that the opportunity was rare, and the cassock whistled, trying to kill Tie Tianying! And at this moment -

With a bang, the lime powder bag exploded in the air between Tie Tianying, Fan Zhong and Tun Yun.

White powder swirled out.

Fan Zhong was stunned for a moment, and the hairs on the back of his head were all standing up!

In order to achieve complete success in the first place by setting up a trap to ambush Tie Tianying, he and a group of masters who accompanied him carried bags of lime powder and fishing nets as standard equipment. It was nine against three, and they started throwing lime as soon as they met. This highlighted the spirit of "no need to talk about underworld ethics". Even though Tie Tianying was an experienced martial artist and Yue Yinping and her brother were highly skilled in martial arts, these means could actually cause considerable hindrance to the three of them.

Of course, facing such means, the three grenades thrown by Yue Yun and the chain hammer in his hand, as well as the spear used by his sister Yinping, did play a good countering role.

This is not surprising in fights between grandmasters and quasi-grandmasters.

The two sides suddenly started fighting. From the moment everyone showed up, to the explosion of Yue Yun's grenade, to the present moment, the situation was complicated and dangerous, but the development of things happened in just a few breaths. At the moment after the young assassin made his move, the fierceness of the fight reached its peak. Even the first-class masters who had experienced fighting for a long time were blown up by the forces of several parties like a broken sack in the blink of an eye. But at the moment when the battle was about to be completed, Fan Zhong never expected that a bag of lime powder would be thrown directly into the middle of several people.

With the help of their Qi, the three masters blew it up in the first place.

Vaguely, the bag of lime powder was thrown by the young man who wielded two swords and killed ferociously.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

With a bang, everyone lost their sight.

shocking!

This may be the first time in decades that the lime powder tactic has been accurately effective in such a high-level fight.

The dusty place turned into the most dangerous area for everyone at this moment.

"Kill--"

In the air, there came the passionate words of the young man!
The slashing of swords, the long roar of spears, the waving of fans, and the whistling of iron robes were all forced to their peak at this moment. There were also dull sounds of smashing and collisions. Even with his master-level skills, Fan Zhong had no idea what he had hit at this moment, or what had hit him. His internal strength had been stimulated to the point of vomiting blood. He was defending with all his strength while holding his breath and retreating frantically. Not far away, Yue Yun was waving his chain hammer with all his strength. The heavy iron hammer whizzed through the air and almost hit Fan Zhong's forehead.

I couldn't tell whose voice was screaming madly.

“Waaaaaaaaaa—”

Instigated by the young man's words "Kill", there were always masters who pounced on him at this moment.

The chain hammer hit a tree, and debris flew all over the sky. On the side, another tree was broken into two pieces and fell down with a crash. It was Monk Tunyun who rushed out with all his strength from the lime dust. After knocking the tree down, his body rolled awkwardly on the ground for several times before he stood still.

In the lime dust, beside Tie Tianying, there was still a bloody knife light slashing in the air.

"gone--"

Without more time to think, Tunyun roared first, and then ran away. Fan Zhong only took a closer look at the situation on Tie Tianying's side, gritted his teeth and said: "The big thing has been done, retreat--"

As far as the eye can see, there are only three figures left of the seven top-notch masters brought out earlier.

He ran wildly towards Jiuxian Mountain, and everyone ran wildly. At their side, the young man covered in flowered cloth, whose body was now stained with blood, also ran in the same direction as them.

There were continuous fireworks in the city to warn people, and patrolling troops were sweeping in from all directions...

……

The warning arrows exploded in the sky, and in the distance, the sounds of troops, the neighing of horses, and the barking of dogs could be faintly heard.

Six figures shuttled through the woods of Jiuxian Mountain.

The siege of Tie Tianying did not last long. Although Tie Tianying fired a signal arrow at the first moment of the fight, the officers and soldiers were attracted by the commotion in Houguan County and did not react quickly.

The area around Jiuxian Mountain was included in the expansion of Fuzhou City in the early years. Although a lot of flat land has been developed, most of the mountains are still occupied by Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. Although the mountain is not big, the terrain is complex and the trees are lush. For the top fighters in the world, it is not difficult to avoid the pursuit of the government in such a place.

Although the fight lasted only a moment, the murderous intent contained in it was strong. Fan Zhong's side, except for him and Tun Yun, originally gathered seven well-trained outlaws, but now there are only three left, not to mention the lime bag thrown by the young assassin at the end, which almost killed himself and Tun Yun. One of the good fighters was also bewitched by the young man's cry of "Kill!" and rushed forward, losing his life at the last moment.

At this moment, bringing the boy here through the fish king was originally a calculation on his side. If the other party's performance was amazing, then he would be lured in and recruited to conspire for great things. Who knew that although the boy was amazing, he was unscrupulous in the end. Feeling the knife wounds on his body bleeding and the lime powder bringing burning pain to his body, Fan Zhong wanted to turn around and kill the boy immediately.

——There is always someone more impulsive.

Fan Zhong and Tun Yun were running in front of the woods, and the other four were slightly behind. They just entered the slope at the foot of the mountain. One of the men with blood on his body shouted loudly and ran towards the masked boy on the side.

"I fuck you—"

The man swung the steel whip in his hand, and the boy's body swayed. There were two bangs, and the small trees on the way were hit and exploded. He was still shouting and cursing, and the steel whip was swung again. This time, before it fell, the boy's body was already close to the tree. There were several "pu pu pu" sounds, and the knife stabbed him continuously, making his arms lose strength.

"You..." The man's eyes widened with anger.

Fan Zhong turned back while running: "Don't fight—"

But the man holding the steel whip had been grabbed by the collar and neck, and was dragged, staggering forward.

With a loud bang, the man's head hit the boulder on the side of the road, exploding into a white piece, and the boy's figure rolled over like a monkey and continued to move forward.

The shadows of the trees intertwined as he ran, and in the intertwined images, the young man was crouching like a bloodthirsty beast, approaching the other two experts behind him.

Someone threw a stone in his hand, and the branches in the forest were broken with a bang. The young man laughed and threw a stone back. The dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and there was a dangerous situation. No one expected that at this moment when the soldiers were surrounding them at the foot of the mountain, the young man would turn around and hunt them down.

It's absolutely crazy.

Fan Zhong leaped up and rushed over here.

"Sun Wukong, in this situation, you actually want to fight among yourselves! Stop it immediately——"

He opened his iron fan, cutting through a clump of grass and trees. The young man's body rolled over, and in a blink of an eye he rolled over a huge rock on the side. He threw a small bag of lime powder with his backhand, and it exploded on the surface of Fan Zhong's fan.

"Hey, internal quarrel." The boy said in a rebellious tone, showing no mercy to anyone. "Who are you? You have the nerve to think that we are in the same group?"

Everyone ran forward, and Fan Zhong suppressed his anger.

"Don't you really understand why I asked you to come here today?"

"I understand you!" The young man said sweetly, "You've been in the underworld for a long time, do you really think you're some big shot? You call me over and I have to come, you give me a question and I have to do it! Who are you? Today I'm going to teach you a lesson, no matter if it's Chen Shuangran or some other bitch who wants to see me, you have to prepare tea first and learn the etiquette of hospitality. If you want me to do something, then you have to kneel down and kowtow to me. Old thing, this is called education! Do you understand!?"

While cursing, he threw stones at the other party while running. The other side also fought back with stones and hidden weapons, and the noise of destruction spread forward.

"Mr. Jin, what happened to this brat——"

"I'm going to kill his whole family—"

The two masters, who were covered in dust and dirt, shouted loudly.

Fan Zhong gnashed his teeth, he smashed a stone thrown at him, and said in a low voice: "Asshole, we can talk about those things later. You succeeded in assassinating Tie Tianying today, the court will not let you go, and if you continue to pester me, no one can escape, stop it right now-"

"Hey, it's my business whether the court lets me go or not. Today you plotted against me, and I'm happy to make you unhappy. Haha... No one is allowed to leave today——"

"Hold--"

Even though he had been in the Six Gates for many years, Fan Zhong had probably never seen such a chaotic and evil character who harmed others and did not benefit himself. He was speechless for a moment, but he was struggling in his heart whether he should just kill the boy to prevent future troubles.

However, five of the seven good fighters who were recruited to assassinate Tie Tianying have already died. If they want to do something big in the future, they will not have enough manpower. This young man is bad, but firstly, he really did his best in the assassination of Tie Tianying. Secondly, he is so bad that it is 70% to 80% certain that he can be proved that he is not a member of the court. This test has been successful, and he could have been recruited to join the great cause.

He was the brains behind Chen Shuangran's plan, and he had a lot of responsibilities. He had to think about the overall situation, so he was inevitably entangled. But he saw Monk Tunyun flying back to one side, and his figure swooped down on the boy in the bushes like an eagle.

He was laughing too.

"Hahahaha...you, kid, are quite to my taste. Let me play with you."

He pounced on him, and the young man suddenly ran to the side, rushed into the woods, and rolled over. He said, "Great! If I can save your bald head today, I will be famous all over the world--" He was also very excited.

Soldiers, constables and others were rushing towards this side in the rugged mountains.

Tunyun's lightness skills were excellent, and the young man could not avoid him, but he kept moving and running in the complex terrain, and sometimes he was knocked to the ground. No one knew where he had developed such resilience, and even with Tunyun's skills, he was unable to defeat him for a while.

Fan Zhong led the remaining two people to the side of the mountain, watching the young man and Tun Yun fighting fiercely, causing the noise to spread all the way. Although he knew that Tun Yun's kung fu was powerful and he could face the soldiers head-on, he didn't know whether the game today would succeed or not, and his mood was complicated, with mixed feelings...

******
The chaos spread to the surrounding areas of the huge city, centered in Houguan County.

When the riot broke out on Jiuxian Mountain, the capture of another group of Chen Shuangran's followers had already begun on one side of the city.

This is a courtyard next to the dilapidated market in the southeast of Houguan County. The horse dealer who was exposed when framing Yue Yun was now being closely watched. When the officers and soldiers surrounded them from all directions, more than a dozen desperate criminals put up a fierce resistance here, but the officers and soldiers, led by Zuo Wenrui of the Zuo family, had already prepared dozens of times more manpower and used explosives to clear the way. In a blink of an eye, they defeated the defense force here. Most of the people fell in a pool of blood, and a small number of people were captured with injuries.

Chen Shuangran had different confidentiality and isolation measures for the personnel he could use this time. For example, in the center of the riot in Houguan County, the desperate criminals such as Qiu Laohu and Liang Run who were in charge of this area had already become abandoned when they were arranged. It would be best if they could make the riot bigger, but even if they were caught, it would not be a big loss for Chen Shuangran, as they could not provide any core clues.

But the people temporarily settled in this courtyard, including the horse dealer, were core figures who had already passed several rounds of loyalty tests. This time, they were uprooted, which was definitely an unexpected loss for Chen Shuangran.

In addition to this, there were several small-scale arrests taking place in the city at the same time this morning.

After the small court took control of Fujian, the first year was relatively peaceful, but then it launched several rounds of bloody conflicts with various forces, and even the emperor himself led the charge. In the past six months, the situation in Fuzhou has been slightly milder. The government has been as restrained as possible and is unwilling to seal off the city casually, but as Chen Shuangran tried to launch this large-scale riot, the counterattack carried out by the Ministry of Justice, the Imperial City Department and the Zuo family in cooperation was also very fierce.

Not only were all the people involved in the riots directly suppressed in Houguan County, but arrests in other locations also caught as many suspects as possible. In short, they were controlled and arrested first, and then carefully screened, in an effort to maximize the effect of this unavoidable bleeding without dragging it out or repeating it over and over again.

A large amount of information was transmitted within the city, and then summarized to Zuo Wenxuan who was in command in Houguan County.

Most things were going according to plan, but he still felt embarrassed when the unexpected news came.

In the direction of Jiuxian Mountain, Tie Tianying was seriously injured.

——Dying.

After coming from the southwest, the Zuo family had a systematic investigation and summary of the forces that could be mobilized within the court. They had complicated emotions towards this old man who was a former constable and was at the core of power.

On the one hand, Tie Tianying once had a deep feud with the leadership of the southwest. He had participated in the siege and killing of Liu Dabiao, had several conflicts and fights with Mr. Ning, and later even participated in several assassination attempts on Mr. Ning. This made some members of the Zuo family unwilling to have close relations with him.

On the other hand, his many years of experience as a detective and in the underworld gave him great abilities. His ability to survive several battles with the forces of the southwest was enough to prove his own strength. After going through a lot of tests, his loyalty to the Wu Dynasty was beyond doubt, and in terms of his skills in single combat, he was once considered one of the most reliable grandmasters in Fuzhou.

After Chen Shuangran's move, Tie Tianying noticed some familiar traces, and had a mature plan for the possibility that Tunyun and other masters would set an ambush to kill him. The old man had confidently told Zuo Wenxuan that if Tunyun and others really wanted to take the risk and attack him, he was very sure that he could stop them.

He is now the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, but he holds real power and is already a senior official in the court. Zuo Wenxuan wanted to persuade him that a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the court, but the other party was heroic and passionate, and his words were rejected before he could finish. Now it seems...I believed his ghost.

"The old man is out of fashion... he is causing trouble for the young people..."

After receiving the message, Zuo Wenxuan cursed a few words and crumpled it into a ball. Then he rode towards Jiuxian Mountain and saw Yinping and Yue Yun, who were covered in dirt and wounds, in the courtyard of a nearby government office. He heard them talk about the whole fight.

After the conflict at He Yun Tan, Fan Zhong and other assassins fled to Jiuxian Mountain. Yin Ping and Yue Yun wanted to chase them, but Tie Tianying was seriously injured and stopped them. Among the three, only Tie Tianying was experienced. Considering that Fan Zhong and Tunyun were not seriously injured, if the siblings chased them and were killed by the opponent, their losses would be greater. When the siblings talked about this, they couldn't help but feel depressed.

However, in the two men's descriptions of the fight, one of the assassins, a short and vicious swordsman covered in a flowered cloth, caused Zuo Wenxuan to feel suspicious.

Not long after, someone brought two more outlaws here. The two were near He Yun Tan and ran into the officers and soldiers who surrounded them when they were escaping. The officers and soldiers saw that they were bruised and looked suspicious, so they arrested them as well.

At this time, the two men knelt on the ground and began to cry and confess the evil deeds of a bad guy who was violent and violent, beating anyone he saw, and kicking dogs on the roadside: they were just innocent messengers who were paid a little money to pass on a message, and they didn't even know the specifics of the matter, but they were kidnapped, threatened, and beaten by that person into this state...
