Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Everything is silent.

Zhao Xu held the sword in his left hand and tightly grasped the hilt with his right hand. He was focused and stared at the city gate.

Seeing this, Ding Dian, who was standing by, hurriedly took Ling Shuanghua to a farther place.

"Brother Ding, what happened to him?"

"Shuanghua, Brother Zhao is going to use a very powerful sword move next, and he is gathering his strength now."

After listening to Ding Dian's explanation, Ling Shuanghua nodded, not quite understanding.

Zhao Xu held the sword motionless, but his power was growing stronger and stronger.

The aura gradually spread outward, within a radius of several feet, as if in another world.

The noise outside was blocked out and there was dead silence.

Time passes gradually.

"Hurry, hurry to the city gate!"

"Yes, my lord."

……

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Ling Tui Si's voice urging his men could be clearly heard.

Ling Shuanghua on the side seemed a little anxious.

"Brother Ding, what should I do? My father is about to catch up with us."

Ding Dian looked at Ling Shuanghua who looked anxious and comforted her: "Shuanghua, relax, we have to trust Brother Zhao."

As he spoke, he held Ling Shuanghua in his arms.

"No matter what the outcome is, we will never be apart."

"Um"

After listening to Ding Dian's words, Ling Shuanghua calmed down and leaned quietly in Ding Dian's arms.

The pursuers had not arrived yet, but Zhao Xu's momentum had already reached its peak.

"cut"

With a loud shout, the silence around Zhao Xu was broken, and the break was earth-shattering and turbulent.

The moment he shouted, a hurricane arose from the ground.

Then a pale light came out from Zhao Xu and shot straight towards the city gate.

"boom"

……

There was a shocking earthquake, and a powerful shock wave spread out in all directions, creating an air wave that raised a cloud of dust.

"Hey, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Cough, cough, cough"

……

The sudden loud noise and the subsequent smoke and dust blocked Ling Tui Si and his group.

They were like headless flies at this time, not knowing what was going on.

While Zhao Xu was shouting, Ding Dian protected Ling Shuanghua behind him.

The light was pale white and not very dazzling.

But Ding Dian just took a look and felt a stinging pain in his eyes. It took him a while to recover.

The huge roar shook him to the spot.

"Brother Ding, are you okay?"

Hearing Zhao Xu's voice, Ding Dian came back to his senses.

"Brother Zhao, what happened just now?"

Zhao Xu did not answer Ding Dian's question.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's get out of the city quickly while the smoke and dust are thick."

Zhao Xu's words woke Ding Dian up. The most important thing now was to leave the city.

"Shuanghua, let's go."

Ding Dian took Ling Shuanghua and followed Zhao Xu towards the city gate.

The sky was filled with smoke and dust, blocking our view and making it impossible to know the situation at the city gate.

Ding Dian initially thought that Zhao Xu would at most make a hole in the city gate.

But the closer he got, the more suspicious Ding Dian became.

When the three men arrived outside the city unhindered, Ding Dian could no longer hide the confusion and surprise on his face.

Ling Shuanghua beside him widened her eyes and looked around.

"No need to look, the gate is gone."

Zhao Xu did not give any further explanation.

After Ding Dian got over the initial shock, he began to have some vague guesses.

Led by Zhao Xu, the three of them quickly arrived at a carriage.

"Brother Ding, take Miss Shuanghua to Yanjiang Town first. I will hold Ling Tuisi here for a while and catch up with you later."

Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua were naturally unwilling to hear that Zhao Xu wanted to stay here and stop Ling Tui Si alone.

"Brother Zhao, no!"

"Or leave with us."

Zhao Xu patted Ding Dian on the shoulder and laughed.

"Brother Ding should be aware of my martial arts. The small city of Jiangling cannot stop me."

"As long as you guys escape, I can get away easily."

Zhao Xu had just displayed his prowess, so the two of them were naturally aware of his strength.

Time was urgent, Ding Dian and the other man had no choice but to leave first.

Watching Ding Dian and the other two leave, Zhao Xu took a deep breath.

It has to be said that without the bond between the two, Zhao Xu has more room for maneuver.

The city gate.

Looking at the pursuers who were arriving late, Zhao Xu yawned out of boredom.

The fire was bright, and a large group of people surrounded Zhao Xu.

Some of these people were officials from the imperial court, and some were dressed in gang uniforms. There were as many as four or five hundred of them.

But after a moment, everyone fell silent.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Xu's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Four or five hundred people calmed down so quickly.

Obviously, these people are well-trained and are by no means ordinary police officers or gang members.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help licking his lips.

Although I had guessed long ago that there was something complicated behind Ling Tui Si, I was never surprised to see these well-trained "troops" with my own eyes.

That’s right, in Zhao Xu’s mind, only a well-trained army can have such discipline.

We don’t need to guess what they want to do by privately training an army.

Zhao Xu was wary and didn't want to get further involved in this matter, so he decided to make a quick decision.

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking, the crowd suddenly split up.

A high-ranking official, surrounded by a group of guards, slowly walked up to Zhao Xu. This person was obviously Ling Tui Si.

He glanced at Zhao Xu casually.

"You are such a brave little thief."

"Not only did they kidnap the prisoners from the government office, they also took away our daughter. Now they even dare to blow up the city gates. How audacious!"

Ling Tuisi spoke in a calm and condescending tone, as if he had already regarded Zhao Xu as a trapped turtle.

Of course, he has the confidence, and the 500 people around him are his confidence.

Outsiders may not understand, but he knows very well that these five hundred people are not just ordinary guerrillas, but real elite soldiers.

Jingzhou Prefecture has a large population and rich resources, and can provide tremendous support to the forces behind him.

In order to protect him, five hundred elite soldiers were specially dispatched to mix in with the gangs in the government office, ready to be deployed at any time.

In his mind, even if a master was at the top level, he would have no way out if he was besieged.

He thought that the roar and the disappearance of the city gate were caused by gunpowder.

I have no idea what kind of expert I am facing.

"Put down your weapon and tell me where Ding Dian is, and I can spare your life."

Ling Tui Si's series of actions made Zhao Xu want to laugh, but then he felt sad for Ling Shuanghua.

What kind of father is this? He doesn't care about his daughter's reputation and life, and only thinks about the treasure.

"Are you Ling Tuisi?"

"It is this government."

After confirming that the person in front of him was undoubtedly Ling Tui Si, Zhao Xu burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Magistrate Ling really thinks he has me figured out?"

Ling Tuisi glanced at Zhao Xu.

"You are a turtle trapped in a jar, how long can you struggle?"

"Hehe, hehe, if the old turtle gets angry, it will bite people."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "clang" sound, and the long sword in Zhao Xu's hand suddenly came out of the sheath.

"You are so arrogant! Catch him, regardless of life or death!"

Seeing Zhao Xu draw out his sword and try to resist, Ling Tuisi sneered, then ordered to capture Zhao Xu, and he himself retreated to the rear.

Zhao Xu wanted to end the battle quickly and didn't want to kill too many people.

As Ling Tuisi was retreating, Zhao Xu jumped up and pounced towards him.
