Although Jia Quantai's overwhelming power is fierce, it has a fatal flaw.
People can't rely on strength in mid-air. If someone below uses a hidden weapon to sneak attack, it will be impossible to dodge.
Fortunately, Gu Shengchao didn't intend to hurt him. The two of them were just for their own masters. There was no deep hatred and there was no need to risk their lives.
Just when Gu Shengchao wanted to dodge, he noticed something strange.
His body seemed to be trapped in a swamp, unable to move.
Taboo!
"go to hell!"
Jia Quan screamed wildly and fell from the sky, pressing down like a rock. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the strong wind swept over Gu Shengchao's face, like the icy cold wind in winter blowing across his face.
Gu Shengchao raised his eyes, and Jia's body blocked the sunlight, making him look extremely huge.
Secretly running the Five Soul Formation, the solid aura outside the ancient sage's body became loose.
He remained silent and his internal energy surged, forcefully expanding into a space five feet away.
"boom!"
Jia Quan's whole body collided with Gu Shengchao's gradually expanding Five Soul Formation.
This result was something Jia Quan never expected.
He originally thought he had trapped Gu Shengchao, and he only waited for him to land on top of his head before swinging his fist to deliver a fatal blow.
Unexpectedly, he was blocked halfway, and the whole person rushed into the barrier formed by the formation without any defense, bouncing sideways like a big gecko, and then fell back again.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Jia Quan was caught off guard and his inner strength suddenly relaxed, and the taboo technique he used also dissipated.
The Ancient Sage Chao's Five Soul Formation had no limit, and it instantly increased sharply, ejecting Jia Quan again.
Jia Quan flew up sideways, jumped over the low wall behind him, and fell onto the vines behind the flower house.
It knocked over the thin support and fell heavily to the ground.
Gu Shengchao ignored Jia Quan and continued to rush inside.
Suddenly, more than a dozen crossbowmen appeared on the surrounding rooftops, aiming their bows and arrows at the three of them.
"Be careful up there." Dong E saw the danger and warned loudly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "whoosh, whoosh" sound beside her ears, and more than a dozen sharp scimitars flew out. Cold light streaked across the roof, and then they all returned to Wanyan Xi's palm.
Looking at the roof again, all ten people fell down, blood gurgling from their throats, and they could not survive.
Dong E couldn't help but cover her throat, and said in shock: "Dong E is willing to be inferior to Sister Wanyan's kung fu."
Wan Yanxi smiled faintly and said softly: "Only by experiencing life and death can one achieve such a level of cultivation. I hope that my elder sister will never gain enlightenment."
"I don't understand." Dong E shook her head, becoming more and more confused about the seemingly harmless blind girl in front of her.
The people in the yard heard the movement and finally reacted.
First, the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo suddenly stopped, and there was the sound of chaotic footsteps.
Listening carefully to the footsteps, most were coming towards them, while a few were running towards the back.
"Sister Wanyan, did you hear that? There are a few people running behind. I'm going to intercept them. You two, please pay more attention." Gu Shengchao calmed them down.
Wan Yanxi stood still and listened carefully to the footsteps: "Brother Gu, don't worry about us. We have no problem protecting ourselves. There are five people behind us. You should also pay attention."
The ancient sage jumped up high, tapped the ridge of the roof with his toes, and flew behind like a big bird.
More than 20 people rushed forward, and five people panicked and ran towards the back door with all their strength.
Gu Shengchao landed to stop them.
Among them was Magistrate Hu, with four tall, short, fat and thin men on both sides protecting him.
"Magistrate Hu, where are you going?" Gu Shengchao asked knowingly, staring at him coldly.
"It's Mr. Gu. We are going back to the county government office and we happened to go together." Magistrate Hu smiled but couldn't hide the fear in his heart.
Gu Shengchao showed the sword in his left hand and said, "Really? Then please ask Magistrate Hu to tie yourself up first and then go back with me."
"Let's go together. If you kill him, you will be rewarded heavily." Magistrate Hu knew that he could not escape, so he simply broke up.
The four people immediately surrounded Gu Shengchao after hearing the order.
The fat man held a knife, the thin man wielded a sword, the tall man held a fire stick, and the short man wielded a simple sword. At first glance, he does a lot of bad things on weekdays, and he acts quickly with skillful cooperation.
Gu Shengchao was not afraid. He reminded Magistrate Hu: "Deliberately murdering the imperial officials is a major crime against the nine tribes. You should think twice! It's not too late to repent now. I will spare your life."
"There is no turning back when I shoot. Now that it's over, do you think I still have a chance to come back?" Magistrate Hu waved his hand for the four of them to take action together.
The fire stick sealed Gu Sheng Chao's lower body, and the simple knife came towards him, stabbing at Gu Sheng Chao's armpit from both sides. The four of them cooperated tacitly, and if it had been anyone else, there would have been no chance of survival.
Gu Shengchao didn't make any extra moves, and stabbed straight at the short man's chest with his long sword.
The short man had never encountered this kind of fight that cost both lives. He was timid and crossed the Pu Dao to block, hoping that the other three people could succeed with one blow.
Gu Shengchao took the opportunity to take a step forward.
"Crack!"
The fire-burning stick was pressed against Gu Shengchao's feet. He crossed his feet, clipped the stick, and kicked the broken part towards the tall man's face with his toes.
The tall man dodged sideways, revealing a flaw.
Gu Shengchao continued to take a few steps forward, forcing the short man to retreat continuously. Naturally, all the swords on both sides failed.
While the tall man was stunned, Gu Shengchao raised his foot and kicked him down.
"ah!"
The tall man screamed and fell sideways.
He staggered up and fell again. Only then did he realize that his two calves were broken and he could not fight.
Because Dong E and Wan Yanxi in front had to face the siege of more than 20 people, Gu Shengchao could not afford to waste too much time, and they had to fight quickly.
Pu Daochang was not suitable for close combat, but Gu Shengchao was always in front of the short man, and he was unable to exert Pu Dao's true strength.
Seeing the tall man being kicked away, the short man understood and stretched his legs to kick Gu Shengchao as well.
Gu Shengchao expected that this move would come from him, raised his foot and made a slight hook, then turned around and swept his sword behind him.
The short man was unsteady and tripped to the ground.
The swords of the fat and thin people behind them failed, and they suffered an unprecedented defeat. Just as they were about to attack again, the ancient sage's super long sword had already cut across them.
The thin man moved quickly and dodged aside, but before the fat man could make a move with the knife in his hand, his body was chopped into two pieces.
When the short man saw this, he got up and ran away. He didn't care whether others could stop Gu Shengchao, he wanted to save his own life first.
In the blink of an eye, one of the usually invincible foursome was killed, one was injured, and the other escaped. The thin man was stunned and didn't know how to deal with it.
Gu Shengchao's target was Magistrate Hu. Seeing that the thin man seemed to be sleepwalking, he spared him.
Magistrate Hu was running towards the flower room at the moment, looking back from time to time to watch the battle. Seeing that Gu Shengchao ended the battle in just a few breaths, he was frightened and ran even slower in his panic.
"Where to escape!" Gu Shengchao chased after him with all his strength.
He was about to catch up, but someone stood in the middle and stopped him.
"It's you?"
Gu Shengchao felt incredible that Jia Quan just now blocked his way again.
"I am a useless person, but to be appreciated by Magistrate Hu is the last great pleasure in my life. I have no regrets in this life if a scholar dies for his confidant." Jia Quan's eyes were determined, and the look of no hesitation made people feel heartbroken.
Gu Shengchao enlightened him: "It's rare to have a close friend in life. I also admire Brother Jia's courage and conduct. We are close ministers of the Holy Emperor. If you follow us, you will definitely have a future. Why waste your life for your own obsession."
Jia Quan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am not like that. As a result, the eunuch chief Wen Zhe died, and the other eunuchs in our palace almost ended up with their heads missing. We have already died once, so it doesn't matter if we die again." "
Magistrate Hu in the distance was about to rush out of the side door of the flower house. Gu Shengchao was worried that he would escape, so he had to stab Jia Quan with his sword.
Jia Quan's close fist and kick skills were so good that he was able to sustain more than ten moves without losing even under the ancient sage Chao Feng Wu's sword technique.
Thirty moves later, Jia Quan was in danger.
Seeing his entanglement, Gu Shengchao had no choice but to cut off his right arm with a clenched teeth.
His right arm was dripping with blood. Jia Quan resisted the severe pain and still blocked Gu Shengchao's path with his left fist.
With no other choice, Gu Shengchao sighed and stabbed Jiaqi's throat with his long sword, killing him.
When Gu Shengchao chased him to the side door of the flower house, Magistrate Hu was nowhere to be seen.
He felt the surrounding atmosphere with his heart and threw out the sword in his hand.
The sword cut off a branch in the crown of the tree and returned to his hand again.
"thump!"
Magistrate Hu fell from the tree and fell heavily.
Stepping forward and tapping his acupuncture points, Gu Shengchao picked him up and walked to the front yard.
Gu Shengchao walked through the moon door of the flower house, and the scene before him surprised him.
There were corpses everywhere, no one alive.
Violent, too violent.
Even though Dong E followed the mission and experienced large and small battles on the road to and from Beihu, she could not adapt to such a situation and squatted aside and retched.
Only the client, Wan Yanxi, remained calm, standing in the middle of the yard, sensing everything around him, ready to face danger at any time.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back." Gu Shengchao carried Magistrate Hu, feeling unworthy of these dead people.
But so what, they must have seen two women who were easy to bully, but in the end they lost their lives and paid the price for their ignorance and recklessness.
After walking out of Xiaoyaoyi, the three of them got on their horses. Gu Shengchao carried Magistrate Hu on horseback and returned to the inn together.
When Lu Shouwen saw the appearance of these people, he was surprised at first. After listening to Gu Shengchao's complete story of the incident, he couldn't help but kick Magistrate Hu a few times.
"You are sanctimonious and deceive the superiors and the inferiors. It is you hypocrites who have caused the people to be displaced and their families to be destroyed." Lu Shouwen was very angry.
The county magistrate was imprisoned, and Lu Shouwen and the others could not leave for the time being, so they took charge of it first.
The documents were sent to the county government, waiting for the county warden to arrange manpower, and they would try the prisoners detained in the county government office.
It turned out that nearly most of them were unjust, false, and wrongly convicted, especially A Niu. After only a few days of torture, he was so tortured that he became deformed and walked unsteadily.
He found a doctor in the county town to nurse him back to health, and he recovered for a few days before letting Aniu go home to reunite with his old mother.
Gu Shengchao and Dong E visited A Niu and her son many times and bought them daily necessities to make up for their mistakes.
After being delayed in the county seat for more than half a month, the county guard finally arranged for his subordinates to come and take over, and then the team started again and embarked on the road back to the capital.
