Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Xuanying was shocked. It was too late for him to turn his spear around to block. He had to drop the spear in a hurry, and his lower abdomen contracted backwards while rolling violently to the side.

He rolled less than three feet when he felt his left arm was cold. He was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat: "My left hand is gone!" When he turned his head, he saw that his left hand was fortunately still there, but his arm was bare and half of his sleeve was cut off by Zhao Xiantong's knife.

An idea immediately flashed through Xuanying's mind: "I still have revenge for my parents and sister, how can I die at the hands of this guy?!" Thinking of this, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran to the alley on the side.

The soldiers on both sides shouted to stop him, but Xuanying used his original force and slapped out with his left and right palms, knocking them several feet away.

He was tall and had long legs, and with the Force activated, he could run very fast. Zhao Xiantong was shorter, and although his Force was higher, he could never catch up, and instead the gap between them kept getting farther and farther.

The sky gradually brightened. Xuanying turned and jumped, gradually pulling away from Zhao Xiantong by several dozen feet, and those soldiers were left out of sight.

After running for a while, he turned into a busy street. It was the morning market, with vegetable vendors, breakfast vendors, blacksmiths, pot menders... all filled with people from Jinyang City wearing gray clothes and pants.

Xuanying was moving very quickly among the crowd. Zhao Xiantong was still chasing him hard, but he could no longer be seen.

There were several side alleys on this street. He randomly picked one and turned into it, hiding behind a house.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xiantong still didn't come after him, so it seemed that he had gotten rid of him.

Zhao Xiantong was an extremely cunning man. When Xuanying came out from hiding in the early morning, he thought that Zhao Xiantong and his men had already gone far away. Unexpectedly, he had arranged people to wait nearby, and he was almost injured and captured by him.

In order to avoid being tricked by him again, Xuanying jumped into a house, took out a gray linen shirt from inside, and changed his own black clothes into it.

He then sneaked into the firewood room where the family cooked, pulled out a few sticks of blackened charcoal from the stove, and smeared his face with it. Seeing that there were still a few bowls of food left in the pot, he was really hungry, so he scraped it up with a ladle and ate it all.

After eating and drinking, he secretly jumped out of the window and hid under the window at the back of the house.

This is the gap between two houses. It is very hidden and blocked by firewood on both ends. No matter how carefully Zhao Xiantong's men searched, they would not be able to find this place.

Xuanying felt relieved and even took a nap.

When he woke up, it was almost noon. Remembering that he had an appointment with the old woman, he jumped out of the gap and found a way to the place where he had hidden before.

The place had been burned down by Zhao Xiantong. Although the old woman was not killed by the fire, she might not be able to go there again. Besides, Zhao Xiantong might have arranged soldiers to hide in the dark. But he still decided to go and have a look, not only because the old woman promised to give him another chance to perform meritorious deeds.

Another reason was that if the old woman was troubled by the people from the Golden Sword Sect after she went there, he would rescue her even at the risk of his life.

The road here was rather complicated. Xuanying had never been here before. He had been in a hurry when he escaped and did not remember the road he took, so it took him some effort to find his way back.

Fortunately, the streets were crowded with people, and there were no people from the Golden Sword Sect. The people wearing gray linen clothes should be the poorer people in Jinyang City. Everyone was in a hurry, and no one looked at Xuanying.

Moreover, his face was painted black with charcoal and his clothes were changed. If they didn't look closely, the people from the Golden Sword Gate would definitely not be able to recognize him.

After walking on the street for a while, Xuanying gradually discovered that he had a magical sense after opening the force. No matter who was around him or how many people passed by, even if he closed his eyes, he could know where the other person was and how fast he was. Even if the person was behind a house or behind a wall, he could still sense it clearly.

He thought that he had fought with Zhao Xiantong not long ago and had escaped danger several times from his sword style. This must be the reason for his induction. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and seemed to walk more briskly.

Soon, they came to the previous hiding place. After the fire, the dilapidated house was completely unrecognizable, and not even a complete wall was left. Everything was charred black, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten wood, stones, etc. that had been burned.

This place belongs to the outermost part of Jinyang City. It is separated from the streets full of people by a field full of white corn and is connected to it by only a road about six or seven feet wide. Therefore, although a big fire broke out last night, no one came to put out the fire until the flames burned out everything they could and extinguished themselves.

Relying on his memory, Xuanying walked carefully towards the place where he had hidden before.

After walking only 20 to 30 feet, I heard someone say, "Old fellow, if you don't come out, I'll burn you to death in there!"

Another hoarse voice said, "I haven't violated any laws of Jinyang City. Why are you arresting me?!" It was the old woman.

Xuanying hurriedly followed the sound, climbed over several dilapidated houses and several half-burned stone walls, and sure enough, he saw several bronze-armored soldiers standing in front of a stone house that had not collapsed. After careful counting, there were six of them in total. However, there were two more lying on the ground, so they should be a team of eight.

One of them had dark skin on his face and body, and was shirtless with only a set of bronze armor on his body. His muscular body was exposed, and veins on his arms were bulging. He was obviously a master of external training. The bronze armor on him was more finely crafted than the others, and he seemed to be a bronze lieutenant. It was him who was talking to the old woman.

The bronze captain shouted angrily: "You haven't violated the laws of Jinyang City, so why did you hurt my brothers?!" Six bronze-armored soldiers were guarding the dark door of the stone house, peeking into the house but not daring to go in.

The old woman said, "They were rude first. Is it illegal to fight back in Jinyang City?" Xuanying could only hear her voice but not see her. It seemed that she was hiding inside the stone house.

Tong Wei shouted, "If I say you are breaking the law, then you are breaking the law! Two people were killed here yesterday, and you were hiding here stealthily. You must have killed those two people!"

The old woman said, "If you insist on saying that I killed them, then I did. But the two dead were famous slave thieves in Jinyang City. They secretly captured and sold no less than 20 people as slaves. According to the laws of Jinyang City, they should have died long ago! I solved a big case for your Jindao Sect."

Tong Wei ignored her next words and said, "Okay, it turned out that you were the one who killed him! Since you refuse to come out, don't blame me for being rude!"

The old woman said in a deep voice: "Liu Dazhuang, what do you want?!" It turned out that the bronze officer was named Liu Dazhuang, and the old woman knew him.
