The demons looked at Pei Chen without any fear, and then surrounded him like a phantom.
Pei Chen closed his eyes and sensed the movements of the three people. No matter how the three people attacked, they were blocked by Pei Chen with the rusty sword in his hand. There was a stalemate for a while.
Seeing this, Hou Wendao also ordered people to come forward to kill Pei Chen. However, these ordinary people were no match for Pei Chen. After several back and forths, except for the three demons and ghosts who were still standing on the field, the others fell under Pei Chen's sword. Hou Wendao noticed Something bad happened, so he ran away and hid behind a pillar.
The three of them attacked Pei Chen again. It seemed as if people were constantly attacking him from all directions. Pei Chen jumped up into the air and struck out with a furious wave from above. The three of them were resisted by Pei Chen's powerful sword intent. They were repelled within a moment, and a trace of blood oozed from the corners of the mouths of the three of them, and they were all injured by the shock.
"I didn't expect that Pei Chen really lived up to his reputation. After so many years, his swordsmanship has improved a lot. It seems that the three of us are hard to win over. Now we can only give it a try." After saying this, the three of them nodded to each other. nod.
The three of them had no choice but to resort to the killing move Phantom Soul Locking Kill. The three of them formed a triangle formation, with Zhi facing Pei Chen. The other two took out a black chain from their waists, which looked very sinister, and Zhi pulled it out from his waist. A strange dagger appeared, like a snake trusting a child, and then the three of them unfolded it, and immediately no one was seen. The place was empty, except for the sound of rain falling on the stones, there was nothing.
Suddenly two iron chains appeared out of thin air, binding Pei Chen's hands, and Zhi also appeared in front of Pei Chen out of thin air. This operation was like an illusion, which surprised Pei Chen. Pei Chen wanted to break free. However, he found that the iron chain seemed to have thousands of barbs embedded in his flesh and blood, making it impossible to break free. Zhi Chou leaped towards Pei Chen at the right moment, pointing the dagger directly at Pei Chen's throat, and was about to stab him.
Pei Chen released the long sword in his hand in time and kicked the hilt with his foot. The long sword flew out from bottom to top and cut off the iron chain tied to his right hand. He then reached out to hold the long sword and cut off the remaining iron chain. At this time, his arms were already bleeding. Pei Chen hurriedly stepped back and swung his sword at Zhi again. Since the sword's power was no longer as good as before, he was reluctantly caught by Zhi.
"I didn't expect you three to actually have such a killer move. It's really hard to guard against." Pei Chen said to the three of them.
The three of them smiled evilly and looked at Pei Chen's bloody arm. They thought that taking down Pei Chen was an indisputable fact, so they attacked Pei Chen again in the form of a phantom. Sure enough, after this attack, the three of them found Pei Chen. It seemed that he was a little powerless, but he was still blocked by Pei Chen one by one.
"No, this chain is poisonous." Only then did Pei Chen realize.
"Hahaha, I realized it's too late now. Unless there is an antidote for the three of us, the poison will penetrate three thirds every time you exercise your power until you die of exhaustion." Mei said to Pei Chen with some pride. .
At this time, Pei Chen also felt that his heart was pounding, and his strength was losing little by little. He knew that he could not be entangled, and he had to make a quick decision to get the antidote, otherwise even if he survived, his arm would probably be useless.
Pei Chen rose into the air and performed the 'tide fall' move. This move had never been used even when he and Li Chouxin were dueling, but he didn't expect to use it on these three people tonight.
I saw a sword intent pouring down, and thousands of raindrops in the air gathered around the sword intent, forming a tide-like force that was about to fall towards the three of them.
Seeing this, the three of them once again tried to evade as phantoms. However, no matter where to stay under the wave, the wave of swords continued to pour down. Even if the three people's physical skills were strange and fast, they still could not escape from this sword. Thousands of raindrops fell like raindrops. The swords struck the bodies of the three of them, and then they fell to the ground, with blood flowing out of their bodies.
"How is it possible? You can't possibly find out where we are?" The demon looked at Pei Chen in horror, who was already standing in front of him with a sword.
Pei Chen pointed his sword directly at the three of them and said, "What's so surprising? You must know that the scent that the three of you are proud of is the guiding incense that sends you on your way."
After hearing this, the three of them suddenly realized.
"Bring the antidote quickly!" Pei Chen said angrily.
"No!" Chi replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Chen stepped forward and sealed his throat with his sword, killing him on the spot.
"Really?" Pei Chen asked the two people next to him again.
Mei hesitated and was about to open her mouth, but she never thought that Pei Chen's sword had arrived and blood spurted out instantly.
Pei Chen turned to the demon and had not yet opened his mouth. Unexpectedly, the demon opened his mouth first.
"Master Pei, there is an antidote. It's in the red bottle in Zie's arms. I just ask you to spare my life."
Pei Chen knelt down and found the red bottle in Zhi's arms. Just in case, he gave Zhi a pill. When he saw that everything was fine, he took the antidote himself, and his symptoms improved a lot in a moment. .
Pei Chen pointed his sword at the demon, which made the demon tremble.
"Hero, spare your life! Spare your life! Gao Bishan ordered us to come here. Spare your life!"
Pei Chen put his sword on the demon's trembling shoulder and said, "I can spare your life tonight, but if you go back and tell Gao Bishan, 'He doesn't have to come to me, I will find him and go away.' Go away!" "
After saying that, the demon dragged his scarred body and stumbled towards the outside of the government office, fearing that Pei Chen would regret it.
Hou Wendao witnessed everything and was already slumped behind the pillar, with moisture all over his body.
Pei Chen walked towards Hou Wendao, his eyes so sharp that he was so frightened that Hou Wendao moved back repeatedly, and the traces of moisture under his body were also dragged out with a long mark, making him very embarrassed.
"Governor Hou, you were indeed not a good official before, and I should have killed you, but I think you succumbed to the power of the Gao family, so I will spare your life today so that you can take care of yourself from now on, and choose a day to return to the people the wealth and anointment that I have plundered over the years. , if there is no movement within three days, I will come back to kill you." Pei Chen said to Hou Wendao, who was crying.
"I understand. I thank you for not killing me. I will be a diligent and upright official in the future." Hou Wendao replied promptly.
"I hope you will do what you say, otherwise my rusty sword will be very sharp when killing people." After saying that, Pei Chen walked out of the government office in a swagger.
Hou Wendao, who was too frightened, sat on the ground for a long time without getting up.
After leaving the government office, Pei Chen knew it was time to leave Wangjing, because the storm would soon fall on Xijing.
It was also in the middle of the night that the ghost, who had narrowly escaped death, returned to Gao Bishan's house.
Gao Bishan was shocked when he saw the scarred monster: "I didn't expect that I still underestimated this Pei Chen! Damn it!"
"Sir, Pei Chen also asked his subordinates to bring you a message." The demon endured the pain and continued.
"What words?"
"He said you don't need to go looking for him, he will come to you on his own!" After saying this, the demon fainted and fell to the ground.
The servant on the side asked: "Sir, he fainted, what should I do now?"
"It's useless if he's alone. There's no need to treat him. Just drag him down and deal with it." Gao Bishan said coldly, but what he was thinking about was what Pei Chen had said.
The servant obeyed the order and dragged the demon out.
Gao Bishan paced back and forth in the room, an idea came to his mind.
"Pei Chen, since you are in trouble, it seems that our family should make preparations earlier. It seems that we have to use that person to deal with you!"
After a night of wind and rain, the morning sun was so clear and warm, shining on the faces of Li Chouxin and others who were talking and laughing.
"Master, how do you think Brother Pei is doing now?" Zhang Xiaopan asked.
Pei Chen glanced at Zhang Xiaopan and said: "Don't worry, your brother Pei has extraordinary swordsmanship. No one in the world can be his opponent. Even the last time I fought with him as a teacher, he didn't use all his strength and hid his strength." The strongest swordsmanship, just for entrusting you to me."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaopan's originally worried look relaxed, and he joked: "It turns out that it was Brother Pei who gave way to Master, no wonder it was a tie!"
Li Chouxin said: "This is indeed the case at the moment, but it won't take long before I will surpass him. As long as you practice hard as a teacher, you can surpass anyone, including your brother Pei!"
Faced with Li Chouxin's wave of chicken soup, Zhang Xiaopan instantly became more motivated and said, "Really? Master, when will you teach me swordsmanship?"
Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Xiaopan and smiled: "Now is not the time."
Seeing the harmonious relationship between the master and the apprentice in recent days, the six girls around him felt a hint of jealousy. They all felt that Li Chouxin had neglected them since he had a disciple.
Shuyi said: "Brother Chouxin, since you had an apprentice, have you forgotten our sisters?"
Li Chouxin realized something was wrong and quickly said: "How could it be? I am an apprentice, and of course I am different from you girls. Don't talk nonsense."
But no matter what Li Chouxin said, it was already too late.
The six girls kept saying something bad about Li Chouxin, which made Li Chouxin not sure what to do.
At this time, Zhang Xiaopan said: "Sisters, oh! No, Master's wife, don't worry, Master will inevitably pay more attention to Xiao Pan just because Xiao Pan came out, but Master's wife will always be Master's wife, and Xiao Pan will always be just an apprentice. Please Wife, please spare the master."
After listening to Zhang Xiaopan's words, several people laughed sheepishly.
Qinyin said: "You are not a big kid, but you have a very clever mouth."
Zhang Xiaopan saw that everyone had stopped, and then said to Li Chouxin: "Master, how have you considered what I told you last time?"
Li Chouxin looked confused and asked: "Last time? When? What did you say?"
Zhang Xiaopan smiled, glanced at the girls, and continued: "It's just a matter of sorting the ladies."
As soon as Zhang Xiaopan finished speaking, Li Chouxin's expression changed and he said, "You kid, don't talk nonsense. Now is not the time to talk about this matter."
"What? You want to sort us out." The whisper was heard as he was close enough, and then he asked Li Chouxin loudly.
"No, no, don't listen to the children's nonsense." Li Chouxin replied hastily.
However, several girls on the side were unwilling after hearing this. They all said that Li Chouxin was perfunctory with them, and they spoke to Li Chouxin one by one again.
Zhang Xiaopan looked at everything in front of him and said happily: "Master, actually it's better to arrange them in order, otherwise can you bear it being like this all the time?"
Li Chou took a quick look, and really couldn't resist, and said: "Ladies, in this case, let's rank everyone, but if you are not the platoon master, don't listen to Xiaopan's nonsense."
Ladies, please tell me your birthdays and ages. We will arrange them according to their age.
After hearing this, several girls reported their birthdays and ages.
After some exchanges, it turned out that Ziwei is still a little older. She is just a few months over eighteen this year, and her piano sound is exactly eighteen, while Seyu, calligraphy and chess rhyme are all seventeen. Only Zhu Wei is exactly sixteen this year. .
Li Chou thought for a while and said, "Then Ziwei will be the eldest sister, Qinyin the second sister, Seyu the third, Shuyi the fourth, Qiyun the fifth, and Zhu Wei will be the younger sister."
After Li Chouxin finished speaking, everyone was very happy. Only Zhu Wei pouted and muttered: "Why should I be treated as a little girl?"
Several people looked at it and laughed from ear to ear. Qi Yun also said to Zhu Wei: "Who makes you the youngest?"
When Zhu Wei heard this, she immediately went back: "Who said you have to be a little girl at a young age? Besides, although you are one or two years older than me, you are much younger than me in some places." After Zhu Wei finished speaking, she lifted her breasts He straightened up towards a few people, causing Ziwei and Qi Yun to lower their heads shyly.
Li Chouxin looked towards Zhu Wei. Unexpectedly, the petite body was quite impressive. Just as Li Chouxin looked at Zhu Wei's puffed-up breasts, Zhang Xiaopan coughed dryly as a reminder.
When Li Chou came to his senses, he realized that several other girls were staring at him angrily.
He quickly said: "Okay, okay, let's arrange it like this for now, and we'll talk about it later."
Zhang Xiaopan also hurriedly called the girls one by one according to the order just now, and several girls also happily agreed.
Li Chouxin was the only one who was a little surprised.
However, seeing several people getting along happily, Li Chou didn't think too much. He rode in front and looked at the great rivers and mountains, feeling very emotional in his heart.
After trekking all morning, several people seemed to have made a wrong direction and did not go according to the original plan. Instead, they arrived at a small town not far from Wangjing. This small town is called Yuanfeng, which is considered a marginal town under Wangjing's jurisdiction.
A few people were tired from the journey, so they didn't care so much, so they rested here and took things as they came.
Li Chouxin found a teahouse, and a few people sat down to eat tea, listening to the gentleman sitting on the table talking, which was very comfortable.
"In recent days, an unknown swordsman has appeared in Wangjing. He has killed many evil-doing people in the high office and the prefect's minions in recent days. But no one has really seen his appearance. He is like an immortal descending to earth, and he seems to be specially designed to punish rape in this world. Just like eliminating evil, Wangjing is now peaceful and the public resentment has dissipated, all thanks to the sudden appearance of the unknown swordsman." I just listened to the gentleman on the stage talking vividly about the recent storm in Wangjing.
Li Chou was a little curious after hearing this, so he threw two taels of silver towards the stage and said, "Is there any basis for what you said, sir? Please tell me in detail, sir."
The storyteller on the stage looked at the two taels of silver and was very happy. He hurriedly put away the money and said, "I don't know, sir. I listened to what the caravan that just arrived from Wangjing told me about this this morning. I don't know whether it is true or not. Now." The old man just brought this matter here as a fun gossip in the tea room. However, I heard that the man was holding a rusty sword, and no one who committed evil would survive under his sword. Those evil people hid and did not dare to go out. The officials were so frightened by him that they actually started doing good deeds. That's all, I'd like to thank you for the reward."
After Li Chou heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He already had some idea in his mind that this person was probably Pei Chen who had just parted a few days ago.
Zhang Xiaopan was fascinated by the storyteller's narration, and began to admire the unknown swordsman and said, "I want to be that kind of person in the future."
Li Chouxin said, "Silly boy, you obviously know that person."
"Could it be? Is that..." Li Chouxin stopped Zhang Xiaopan before he finished speaking, and then nodded towards Zhang Xiaopan.
Zhang Xiaopan looked delighted and asked: "Master, can we go to Wangjing? I also want to experience the elegance of the big city."
Li Chou thought for a moment and said, "Well, since we've already arrived here, we might as well go there. I've never been there before, as my teacher."
Several girls nearby were also very happy to hear this. They thought that they could buy high-end rouge and gouache in the bustling city, as well as all kinds of delicious and fun things. They were very excited.
After a short rest, the few people headed in the direction of Wangjing.
Pei Chen, who had already left Wangjing, did not know that Li Chouxin and others were heading towards Wangjing.
Pei Chen was already in Xijing at this time, still as usual, wandering around the street with a rusty iron sword on his back, and finally found an inn to stay. After all, he still had the money he got from Gao Yonglu. For the rest, you can't treat yourself badly. Besides, although the poison on your body is gone, the trauma is still not healed, and it will take some time for training and treatment.
In the eyes of everyone, this man is simply an idle knight-errant, or the kind of knight-errant with no skills. They will not associate him with the unknown swordsman who stirred up trouble in Wangjing. After all, almost everyone who has seen him has already dead.
After checking into the inn, Pei Chen first took off his long sword, opened his cuffs and checked the wounds on his hands. Sure enough, there were still dense marks and stinging from time to time. Unexpectedly, this evil spirit's method was really not invented. The person was so cold that the wounds left behind were still so painful.
So Pei Chen left the inn without much rest and found a nearby medical clinic to bandage the injury on his hand. After all, he was not in a hurry at this time. If he wanted to move Gaobi Mountain in Xijing, he would need to consider the long term.
Pei Chen arrived at the hospital and untied his sleeves. Unexpectedly, the doctor was surprised when he saw Pei Chen's wounds, and said: "Your wounds are so dense, they must be very painful. You can still keep your face calm. You are such a man!"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. It's not a beheading. The doctor just needs to take care of me and bandage it with some pain-relieving and healing medicine."
After Pei Chen finished speaking, the doctor found some medicine and ground it into a paste. After a while, Pei Chen's arm was fully bandaged.
Pei Chen soon left the hospital and wandered around. It seemed like he was wandering around, but in fact he was familiar with the surrounding situation. Finally, seeing that the surrounding area was far away from the center of the city and there were no government officials stationed there, he returned to the inn with peace of mind and planned to stay here for a while and make careful plans.
At this time, Li Chouxin and others had also arrived outside Wangjing City and were about to enter the city.
