When Qi Ji and Elder Tang's men met up, they found that for some reason, there were Jinyi guards surrounding them behind them.
Elder Tang ran as fast as he could, but luckily there was a parade stall behind him that held Liu Xin back, otherwise he might have narrowly escaped death.
All Elder Tang's men gathered together. At this time, there were Jin Yiwei flanking attacks from both sides, and Elder Tang immediately understood that he had fallen into a trap.
But no matter what, they must withdraw as soon as possible at this time, otherwise when the cavalry marching over there rushes out, they really have no chance of survival.
Especially since Elder Tang was injured at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried and became much less courageous.
Qi Ji didn't wait for You Xingjian to come back. He originally wanted to hold on and wait for his only support to come back.
But how could Elder Tang agree?
"Master Qi, you can either follow us now or stay and wait for death. There are only two ways.
As for your bodyguard, sir, he has fulfilled his duty as a bodyguard. Do you still want his heroic deeds to go to waste? "
Qi Ji originally wanted to refute, but when he met Elder Tang's gaze, his heart trembled slightly.
He knew that he had no right to speak now.
At the moment of life and death, what's the use of money?
What's more, he can't come up with more money.
He made a decision before leaving, and would not frown even if he died, but he was still timid when the time came.
Elder Tang asked a subordinate with profound cultivation to take Qi Ji with him. Originally, he should have done this job, but now he is injured.
More than thirty riders galloped towards the south.
Most of the Jin Yiwei behind them were not riding horses, so they couldn't catch up for a while.
But at this moment, the roar of galloping horse hooves sounded from the north.
Elder Tang looked back and was frightened.
Looking at the smoke and dust, there were at least hundreds of riders.
These cavalry were all mobilized by Dongchang.
After reporting it to Mi Yusong, Mi Yusong waved his hand and directly transferred 500 cavalry from the warrior camp.
These cavalry first joined Liu Xin and others.
After giving up some more horses, Liu Xin led the crowd to pursue Elder Tang and Qi Ji.
Everyone here rode away. Liu Licheng and the imperial guards from Qianhu Station in Inner East City ran until they died, but no one could catch up.
In the face of the mobility of the cavalry, so what if they are Jin Yiwei? If they can't run with both legs, it will be useless if they break their legs?
Of course, Liu Licheng could also charge forward with his elite troops, but in that case, they would not have the advantage in numbers.
Not to mention his men, even he himself was not willing to take such a risk and rush forward.
So he could only give up the easy-to-get credit after a period of calculation.
Of course, for him, this is easy credit.
Unwilling to give up, Liu Licheng sent Cheng Guotao to follow with the lieutenants from the Qianhu Office in the inner east city, and maybe get a share of the pie, while he himself walked to the west gate with a few confidants.
In his heart, he also knew that the success rate of sending people to pursue him was not high.
Therefore, he was too lazy to go there in person.
On his way back to Xibianmen, suddenly there was a murmur from behind a hillside somewhere.
"...Bai Lian descends to earth!"
"Who are you pretending to be a ghost? I am the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, get out of here!"
From behind the hillside, a man who looked like a Taoist priest walked out.
Liu Licheng looked at the other person and frowned. The other person looked a little sloppy, but it gave him an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.
Not only him, but also those around him felt it, but what he felt was a sense of oppression.
It means that the other party's cultivation level is higher than his!
Liu Licheng's cultivation level is similar to that of the other party, but not as good as him!
"Who are you!" Liu Licheng shouted coldly again.
The Taoist priest smiled brightly and was not in a hurry to answer. He stretched out his hand to scratch under the tattered Taoist robe, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then said quietly:
"Do you still remember the prisoners on death row in the water prison of Dali Temple?"
"You are the traitor of the White Lotus Sect!"
Liu Licheng's eyes suddenly shrank.
The Taoist priest sneered, kneaded a lump of black stuff with his fingers, flicked it casually, and said:
"I heard that you are a disciple of Martial Emperor City, and your Martial Emperor City is the biggest rebel in the world!
Your Emperor Wu City destroyed countless Jianghu sects and martial arts heroes back then. Because of you, your lives were ruined and your families were destroyed.
You actually have the nerve to say this now. Could it be that there are no tigers on the mountain and the monkey is the king? "
Liu Licheng watched the other party spit out sweet things, and the words hit him like a barrage of firecrackers, and he was speechless for a moment.
Faced with such provocative words, Liu Licheng could no longer bear it. He drew out his knife, slowly raised it, pointed it at the wandering Taoist priest, and shouted angrily:
"Those who insult our sect will die!
Thousands of households in Neidong City have been ordered to kill him! "
But the down-and-out Taoist priest snorted coldly, and raised the fortune-telling flag in his hand to the sky.
"White Lotus Cult members, listen to my orders and kill them!"
In an instant, countless people rushed out from behind the short slope.
Some of these people were dressed like farmers, some looked like butchers, and some were scholars. They had various weapons in their hands, including machetes, sickles, and even kitchen knives.
Although they have different images and weapons, they are all very fast.
Liu Licheng immediately judged that this group of people were not ordinary people, but truly trained warriors.
After figuring out these joints, Liu Licheng's expression suddenly became solemn.
Especially when he saw the wandering Taoist priest jump up, his speed was surprisingly fast, and several afterimages were pulled out in place like lightning, and they all rushed towards him.
The wandering Taoist priest is very fast and keeps moving. Looking at the steps, it looks like Tai Chi steps.
Liu Licheng poured his inner energy into the blade and made a tentative slash. The Xiuchun knife made a thick buzzing sound and the blade flashed suddenly.
The wandering Taoist priest suddenly stopped on the path he was on. He drew a circle on the ground with his toes as the center and easily dodged the attack.
Then the whole person was like a dragon swimming close to the ground, gliding quickly on the ground.
Liu Licheng continued to criticize the sword, the sword light was fierce, and the sword light from the continuous slashes tore the earth apart.
Several deep cracks appeared on the ground, but none of the swords could touch the Taoist priest.
At least the mid-grade Dacheng realm!
Liu Licheng had already made a judgment in his mind.
Because the opponent's speed is too fast, even if the low-level Dacheng realm has top-notch body skills, it is impossible to achieve this speed by exerting all its strength.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the desire to retreat. With his cultivation level, he was naturally not afraid of the average mid-level Dacheng state.
After all, he has the profound martial arts library in Emperor Martial City as his foundation, and the martial arts skills he has practiced far exceed those of ordinary warriors.
But the body skills practiced by the wandering Taoist priest in front of him are not ordinary.
At least it's the same top level skill as him.
Liu Licheng himself is still a little far away from the mid-level Dacheng realm. One thing is ebbing and the other is ebbing. He is definitely not the opponent's opponent, and the opponent's number is several times his own. If he delays, he will not be able to gain favor.
Assessing the situation was the first skill Liu Licheng learned after entering the officialdom, and it was in full effect at this moment.
He didn't even realize that because he was too good at judging the situation, he had lost part of the bloody courage that a warrior should have.
The two tried several moves, and both sides found out the other's details. The next moment, they were fighting hand to hand!
The wandering Taoist priest did not know when a whisk appeared in his hand.
The short hairs on the front end of the whisk stand up under the stimulation of internal force, like steel needles gathered together.
Suddenly he had the power to crack mountains and crack rocks.
Moreover, the whisk can be used as a sword, which can be used to cut, chop, stab or tease.
It can be soft or hard at the same time. When it is soft, it is like a whip, catching people by surprise.
Moreover, under the stimulation of internal force, even a whisk in a limp state can be smashed to pieces in an instant when faced with a boulder.
When condensed together at the same time, the sharpness is no less sharp than the Xiuchun knife in Liu Licheng's hand.
Although this Taoist priest looks down and out, his body is strong and his attack speed is extremely fast.
The whisk in his hand kept changing, and sometimes it was like a sword slashing at him. The whisk suddenly softened in mid-air, and the whisk suddenly expanded and contracted, turning into a whip and lashing towards Liu Licheng.
Liu Licheng narrowly avoided attacks several times and looked a little embarrassed.
Liu Licheng and the wandering Taoist priest exchanged only a dozen moves, and were at a disadvantage for a while, and could only defend passively.
If it weren't for the fact that the swordsmanship he practiced was also top-notch, his defense was airtight, and his rich practical combat experience allowed him to defend key attacks every time, so he wouldn't have been defeated all at once.
But he can continue to hold on here, but the confidants under him obviously cannot.
There are thirty or forty people in the White Lotus sect, and the average level of all of them is at the level of Xiaocheng.
Although the elites around Liu Licheng are all at the Xiaocheng level, their number is too small.
Although Du Daochun has the strength of the peak of Xiaocheng Realm, and he has withstood the attacks of three people by himself, he is still unable to survive alone.
In less than ten moves between Liu Licheng and the wandering Taoist priest, his men had already suffered casualties, and as long as one person suffered casualties, others would inevitably feel timid.
Then, in just a few breaths, three people lost their lives.
"Liu Licheng! Your life was requested by the Protector himself. You can't run away today no matter what!"
It would be better to give up resistance and die more easily.
Hehe, even if you can hold on, don't you think about your brothers? Look at your men, they are almost dead! "
The wandering Taoist opened his dirty teeth, and the words he spat out were like swords piercing Liu Licheng's heart, and Liu Licheng became furious.
In his agitated mood, there was a trace of negligence in the knife skills in his hand. The whisk found a gap and instantly turned into a whip, hitting Liu Licheng's back directly.
Snapped!
In an instant, all the clothes on his back exploded, and blood marks appeared on his back, and blood flowed like a stream.
Liu Licheng groaned, forced himself to hold back, and his sword skills became more open and close.
It was a complete gesture of exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives.
The wandering Taoist priest didn't want to get hurt, so he could only avoid the edge temporarily.
Liu Licheng took the opportunity to retreat and saved two of his confidants, including Du Daochun.
He already had the intention of retreating, and the wandering Taoist priest also guessed it, so he immediately counterattacked and blocked Liu Licheng's retreat.
Liu Licheng looked around and saw that there were only four people left around him.
And here in the wilderness, no one could help them for a while.
Liu Licheng looked up at Tianxin and said: Am I going to die here today?
The wandering Taoist priest would not give Liu Licheng a second chance to counterattack and evacuate.
Liu Licheng was not given any time to breathe.
The wandering Taoist priest secretly swore in his heart that he would never give Liu Licheng a second chance, and he would never retreat again!
He continued to charge forward, the whisk turning into a short spear in his hand.
With great force under his feet, he rushed out like an arrow from a string, stabbing the fly whisk fiercely towards Liu Licheng's heart.
The Taoist priest from the lower reaches also came out with all his strength, and his figure was like a ghost. Halfway through, the ghostly figure split into two, then two into four, and finally a dozen ghostly sounds intertwined and rushed towards Liu Licheng.
"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!"
Liu Licheng recognized this movement technique, one of the secret skills of the Baigui Sect, the second sect of the demonic path that had long since disappeared.
It seems that the Hundred Ghost Sect has been merged into the White Lotus Sect.
Only Liu Licheng in the audience could barely capture his figure, but he could only capture the opponent's whereabouts.
This method of [Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night] is erratic and ghostly. While it is fast, several afterimages will appear. When you practice to the highest level, you can transform into a hundred ghosts and walk at night. The real body is hidden in it and there is no way to distinguish it.
Now that the wandering Taoist priest had just transformed into more than ten ghosts, Liu Licheng was unable to distinguish clearly. Just when he gritted his teeth and decided to counterattack even if he resisted the attack.
"Lord Senhu!"
There was a loud roar.
Liu Licheng saw one of his confidants rushing straight towards the direction where the Taoist priest You Fang was stabbing him.
He did not choose to pounce on a certain ghostly figure, but stood in front of Liu Licheng.
He has always been known for his resourcefulness under Liu Licheng. His cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Xiaoqiang, and his talent in cultivation cannot be said to be bad, only very poor.
But at the last moment, he still used his wisdom to make the most correct choice.
Just hear a puff.
Liu Licheng's confidant, a Jin Yiwei chief flag officer, was directly stabbed in the chest, but he was not dead at all and forcefully hugged the wandering Taoist priest.
Even though his chest had been pierced, and even though the Taoist priest You Fang could shake him free at the next moment, he still did so.
Just because the chief flag officer knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to escape, so he had to at least let Qianhu escape. Only Qianhu had the ability to take revenge.
At the same time, if Liu Licheng and the others were only allowed to escape, even if he came and blocked the attack of the wandering Taoist priest, they would still not be able to escape from the encirclement of the White Lotus Cult.
So while hugging the wandering Taoist priest, he shouted again: "Qianhu! Now! Kill him!"
At the same time, the chief flag officer hugged the wandering Taoist priest tightly, and his inner strength surged out almost desperately. It would be better if he could hold on for a moment longer.
But no matter how hard he tried, how could a small-level warrior be able to trap a great-level warrior? Even if he tried his best, he couldn't buy even a moment of time.
The internal energy inside the wandering Taoist priest's body surged and exploded outside his body in an instant.
He actually split the arm of the chief flag officer forcefully, and with another force, the body of the chief flag officer was torn apart!
The wandering Taoist priest was angry, and with a sweep of the whisk, the chief flag officer's head was cut off.
"Humph, I don't know whether to live or die!" The wandering Taoist priest snorted coldly, and then continued to rush towards Liu Licheng.
All this happened in a blink of an eye. The opportunity that the flag officer had bought with his life was not enough for Liu Licheng to fight back.
Because it was not agreed in advance, Liu Licheng was a little stunned when this scene happened.
But the death of the chief flag officer still had an effect to a certain extent. At least Liu Licheng was aroused at this time.
He roared, and the Xiuchundao drew a burst of cold light, weaving a knife net and fiercely covering the wandering Taoist priest.
The dust in the wandering Taoist priest's hand suddenly became strange, like a whip that went around the knife net and hit Liu Licheng's back. If he was hit again this time, Liu Licheng's back might be broken.
His arm was full of internal strength, and with a snap, Liu Licheng reached out and grabbed the fly whisk.
The blasted skin in his hand was torn and the bones were visible, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted with all his strength, holding the whisk firmly in his hand.
The internal energy injected by the Taoist priest upstream of the whisk exploded. This explosion in the palm of his hand was no different from the explosion in the human body. However, Liu Licheng's palms had also practiced the horizontal training technique, and the skin was rough and thick. In addition, Liu Licheng had mastered some unique palm skills. The palm was saved, but it was still bleeding profusely.
Then he pulled hard, and the strong internal force made the muscles bulge, and he tried to pull the wandering Taoist priest over.
The sword in the other hand was even brighter. At this moment, all the meridians in his body were stretched out and filled with blood. His whole body looked like a cooked shrimp.
The secret skill [Blood Burning Technique]
The secret skill of the Demonic Dao Sect, the Blood Sect, can stir up one's own blood and break through one's own limits.
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of You Fang Taoist Priest.
The light of Liu Licheng's sword was so airtight that the wandering Taoist priest knew that if he did not throw away the fly whisk, he would probably be injured by this move, and he might even be seriously injured.
Liu Licheng was already in a desperate posture. Although this unique move was very powerful, it would also cause considerable hidden dangers and internal injuries. But Liu Licheng had completely ignored the serious injuries he would suffer.
He just wanted to kill the wandering Taoist priest at the scene, but the wandering Taoist priest still wanted to keep his useful life. There were two people named by the Protector to kill, and he still had one person to kill. If he died, , the mission will not be completed, of course not because he is afraid of death.
Therefore, the wandering Taoist priest chose the most rational way, and at the same time broke the vow he had made before that he would never retreat again.
The wandering Taoist priest retreated sharply, but Liu Licheng was not ready to let him go. He held a knife in his right hand and a fly whisk in his left hand.
The wandering Taoist priest retreated very quickly, using the movement skills of [Hundred Ghosts Night Walk] to the extreme. Even when he retreated, three ghostly figures appeared. However, this was not a spell after all, and his cultivation level was also a little worse. Unable to use [Hakki Yakō]'s body skills to their full potential.
Therefore, the three ghostly figures could not distance themselves from each other. From a distance, they looked like three drunken figures supporting each other and retreating from each other.
The wandering Taoist priest rushed into the crowd instantly, dashing left and right in the crowd.
Liu Licheng held a knife in one hand and Fuchen in the other. Fuchen was like a stick in his hand, hitting it here and there at will.
With his Dacheng Realm internal strength cultivation, except for the wandering Taoist priests, everyone else would definitely break their bones on the spot if they touched him. One person even had the misfortune of being hit on the head by him and died on the spot.
Seeing how crazy the two men were, the White Lotus Sect members did not dare to approach them at all.
Liu Licheng looked in all directions and listened in all directions. When he saw this, he immediately shouted:
"You follow me!"
Of course he said this to the surviving Jin Yiwei.
"You follow me!"
Liu Licheng repeated again.
Of course what he said was right. Only by following him could the remaining Jinyi guards possibly find a way out.
Liu Licheng kept chasing and attacking the Taoist priest You Fang. The Taoist priest You Fang also knew that if he was always forced to retreat like this, he would probably be broken out of the encirclement by them.
So the wandering Taoist priest suddenly stopped, gritted his teeth and took out a wooden sword from behind.
