Chapter 177 Sword Master
He hid in a dark corner, thinking that he should still do as he had planned before, and wait for a dozen days until the storm had calmed down before trying to find a way out of the city. However, he could no longer stay in Tiankun Castle, and he could not find a suitable hiding place in Jinyang City for a while. Even if he did find one, the tone of that strange spirit Snake Tail would make it easy for him to be found out, so what should he do?
While he was at a loss, he caught a glimpse of a general in silver armor leading seven or eight people on the city wall, discussing something with several sentinels. He looked closely and found that the general in silver armor was the Silver Lieutenant You Ganzhan. However, he was too far away to hear what they were talking about.
You Ganzhan talked to several soldiers for a while. Several soldiers hesitated to answer, and one of them shook his head, obviously rejecting him.
You Ganzhan's voice became louder and he cursed, "I'm a dignified Silver Lieutenant, can't I command you guys? I say it's okay, and you team come with me!" It seemed that he was sending a few soldiers to do something else.
Several soldiers still refused, and I could vaguely hear the words "Zhong Jinwei" and "Zhao Jinwei" in their words. I guess they meant that I had to get their permission.
You Ganzhan raised his palm to hit him, but finally held back. Suddenly he pointed at the south wall and shouted, "Look, that man is trying to escape, everyone go and catch him!"
Xuanying looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a masked man in black climbing up the city wall a few dozen feet away, and fighting with several soldiers.
Those soldiers had spears in their hands, while the man in black was unarmed. Although his fists and feet were as fast as the wind, his flesh and blood body could not go head-on against the sharp spears, and he was unable to win for a while.
Xuanying thought: "Could it be Sisi helping me again?" But looking at her figure, it didn't look like her. Not only was she taller and stronger than Sisi, but her punches and kicks were quite clear and measured, and she seemed to have the aura of a king, which was obviously different from Sisi's strange and direct style.
Seeing this, several soldiers ran over shouting.
You Ganzhan shouted to the other soldiers who were still patrolling, "What are you still standing there for? Go over and help!" He even pushed over several soldiers who were guarding the ladder nearby.
Xuan Ying was a little hesitant at first, wondering if You Ganzhan was plotting to help him. But when he saw that he had sent away all the soldiers guarding the city wall, he no longer had any doubts. He rushed out from the darkness, climbed up the high wall with a ladder, and then leaned against the edge of the wall and jumped out.
I thought that I could escape from Jinyang City from now on. As for Zhong Zhaokui and Tie Yong who injured Sisi, and Zhao Xiantong, Zhang Qianyuan and others who made things difficult for me, I would come back to settle accounts with them one by one when I improved my original power. In short, I would not let any of them go...
When he was about to land, he suddenly found a person standing at the foot of the wall, motionless, like a natural stone. This person was standing exactly where Xuanying was about to land, ready to go.
Xuanying's mind raced, it was better to strike first than to be controlled by others. He propped his feet on the wall, clenched his fists, and flew towards the man to hit him.
The man shouted, "Just in time!" He used his palm to fist and slapped Xuanying in mid-air.
The light under the wall was extremely dim, and I couldn't see the man's face clearly. For a moment, I could only sense that his figure was steady and as dignified as a mountain. He was obviously a martial arts master.
Xuan Ying did not dare to delay and punched with 80% of his original force in the hope of escaping as quickly as possible.
You Ganzhan, holding a torch, stood on the city wall and shouted, "Captain Zhong Jin, you came at the right time. I think the other one is the real murderer. Let the general deal with this petty thief."
The man under the wall was none other than Zhong Zhaokui, the eldest disciple of the Golden Knife and Black Sword and the leader of the Four Golden Captains of Jinyang City!
Zhong Zhaokui did not answer You Ganzhan's words, but said: "Are you You Ganzhan who works under Jin Li'er? I heard that you are best at fighting with others. Why don't you jump off the wall? I will teach you two a lesson together."
You Ganzhan said: "What I hate most in my life is the majority bullying the minority. Two against one, even if you win, it's not glorious."
Zhong Zhaokui said coldly: "Two against one may not be able to win." While he was talking, his hands did not stop at all. He took advantage of the situation and easily broke Xuanying's random punches.
You Ganzhan said, "Forget it. I will ask Zhong Jinwei for advice another day."
Seeing that the man was Zhong Zhaokui, the Force master who had injured Sisi, Xuanying wanted to fight him even more, so he punched more fiercely. The Force stirred up gusts of strong wind, causing his clothes to rustle.
However, his martial arts were far inferior to Zhong Zhaokui's, and even his Force was far inferior to his. After fighting for five or six moves, he knew that he was no match for him.
Zhong Zhaokui snorted and said, "Zhao Xiantong said that you have great force, but I think you are just so-so!" He used his hands as knives, and his palms suddenly turned into seven or eight pieces, cutting Xuanying's face, shoulders, chest, forearms, thighs and other parts.
Although Xuan Ying possessed the Heavenly Observation, he was facing a master like Zhong Zhaokui, and they were fighting in close combat, so the Heavenly Observation was not very useful. Seeing that Zhong Zhaokui's palm was both erratic and fierce, he could not avoid the attack, so he had to fully infuse his arms with the original force and hit them with a bang, hoping to fight to a draw.
Zhong Zhaokui shouted, “You’re looking for death!” He used his left palm to dissolve Xuanying’s fist force, and without stopping for a moment, he struck Xuanying’s chest with his right palm.
Xuanying was knocked more than two meters away, fell on his back, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhong Zhaokui said: "As soon as the man named You came out, I knew something was wrong. As expected, he came to send you out of the city. But it is easy for you to leave Jinyang City, but it is difficult to survive!" He walked closer step by step, his palms turned into knives, like two sharp iron blades.
Xuanying hurriedly stimulated the chaotic sea of qi, but found that after being hit hard by Zhong Zhaokui's original force, the sea of qi was very scattered and could not be gathered and stimulated at all.
He was unable to use the Force, and his heart was dead for a moment. He could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Suddenly, a cold light broke through the air and shot from the high city wall! A nimble black shadow rushed straight towards Zhong Zhaokui.
The black shadow held a long sword in his hand. In the darkness, only flashes of sword light could be seen. It was extremely fast, and it was obvious that he had very high martial arts skills.
However, Zhong Zhaokui still had his bare hands, his palms flying, fighting back and forth with the swordsman.
This person was also dressed in black, with his head and face covered, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. In the darkness, it was impossible to tell whether he was old or young, male or female.
The black shadow said in a deep voice: "You haven't taken revenge yet, why don't you leave quickly?!" The man spoke in a low voice and his voice changed, obviously afraid that others would recognize his true identity.
Xuanying finally came to his senses, turned over and ran away, not caring about east, south, west or north, he just ran in a random direction.
