Relating Yearning with Sword - C34
Even so, Qiu Taigong used all his strength and did not move his usual steel sabre.
The other party seemed to exert a strange force in his palm. The force was like a magnet sucking needle, sucking in the steel blade. The blade sucked in the palm of Qiu Taikou. A series of connections formed the awkward scene in front of him.
Qiu Taigong tried several times but was unable to break free from the saber in his hand. On the contrary, the shock wave from the saber made him feel as if his internal organs were being shattered. In just a short moment, his face had flushed red and he was panting like an ox.
“The one with the surname Qiu, you brought this upon yourself. No wonder I was so merciless.” The golden chicken said.
As soon as the last words left his mouth, he felt the blade loosen. It was like he had let go of the opponent’s hand, but a strong gust of wind threw him seven feet away.
Qiu Taiquan was scared out of his wits. He wanted to escape, but there was no time! Seeing that the man’s fingers had stretched out slightly, Qiu Taizong’s body suddenly flashed before falling to the ground.
Apart from that subordinate, Qian Chao, almost no one present could see clearly what was going on.
He couldn’t get up again.
“Iron Hand Piercing Wall” seemed to have been used by the famous golden chicken Taishang. It looked like he had just barely made it through the air. The exquisite internal energy had already pierced through his heart, causing him to die.
Following which, Wang Zhilian and Hou Tian, who were standing upright, fell to the ground one after the other.
In truth, the two of them had already died long ago, but they had only been delayed until now before falling to the ground. The fatal injury was only a small wound that was one inch long, and just by a single glance, it had already killed the two of them. No one could clearly see the astonishing skill that had just happened, and it was no wonder that everyone was flabbergasted.
Although the three of them didn’t have any special skills, they were considered as the best fighters in the public sector of Anhui Province. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed them to handle this case. Who would have thought that after entering the battle for the first time, without even knowing the other party’s name and appearance, they would all lose their lives just like that?
The attack from the golden chicken had produced a very good effect of killing the chicken to make an example of the monkey. The men at the scene were all dumbstruck, and then they all scattered in all directions like birds and dogs.
Jiang Zhao, the chief commander of the Shen Ji Camp, who was standing in the pavilion, was even more shocked. That was why he hadn’t lost his head like the others; he still had to kill those who were more powerful than him.
At this moment, Jiang Zhao could no longer hold it in any longer and had no choice but to use it ahead of time. Raising his spear, Jiang Zhao bellowed, “Shoot!” He pounced like a tiger and pounced towards the ground.
The fire rope was extinguished, “Boom!” With a sound, a large number of spears, like ten thousand locusts, whizzed towards the scene.
There were only two people left at the scene.
Golden Chicken and his servant, Qian Tian, were trembling. Strangely, these two men did not seem to be panicking at all.
“Plop …” The golden chicken turned and twisted its waist, revealing a long black satin robe.
It was draped over the golden chicken’s body, not showing how big it was. Now that it was used, it was as black as a large black cloud, with a radius of two zhang. A huge gust of wind appeared in the sky, creating a loud explosion that made people’s eardrums tremble. It stopped abruptly.
In the sound of the air exploding, thousands of bullets from the guns had all hit. They all came at once and disappeared without a trace, it was rather straightforward.
“Boom!” “Boom!” Two gunshots sounded in a row.
The gun streaked through the night sky, slicing through the branches and clattering toward its target.
The other stood straight again, a live target. However, it was just the same. As the opponent spun in the long shadow, a strong wind swirled, spun, spun, and whirled. It was far more powerful than flying sand or falling stone. Just like this, the incoming fire guns failed again and again.
The bullet was lifted up into the air for a long time before finally popping out like beans in ice.
Jiang Zhao, who was lying on the ground, couldn’t believe his eyes. After a long while, he finally woke up and was frightened out of his mind. However, he clearly knew in his heart that he had fired three gunshots in a row, proving that the three guns lying in ambush had all failed. Next, he would have to use the breeching to ignite the canister. If the other party were to take advantage of this opening and attack him, it would be a disaster.
Jiang Zhao couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. How could he still dare to show off his power? He suddenly jumped up from the ground and dove into the shadows.
With a great enemy at hand, how could he allow him to go as he pleased?
Jiang Zhao dove into the shadows, but what greeted him was a cold steel blade. The blade was not large, but the handle was long and the tip of the head had wings. It was a strangely shaped dagger. With a “puchi” sound, it stabbed into his heart.
Jiang Zhao pulled the saber out of his body with one hand as a gush of blood gushed out of it. His body trembled for a moment before slowly falling to the ground.
Before he died, Jiang Zhao didn’t forget to size him up to see who had killed him.
He only thought it was the old golden chicken. He had guessed wrongly — it was the Heaven Shaking.
The hall was as bright as day.
Bai Jiu mustered up his courage and asked the heavens for courage to welcome his guest.
There were so many guest names, he could not finish them all at once … Old Golden Chicken, Golden-Winged Seed, Great Golden Chicken, Lifesteal Golden Chicken … In fact, he was actually just one person.
The cash chicken was sitting in the center of the room, gentle and without a trace of killing intent.
A dozen or so corpses lay scattered around the courtyard, including people sent by the yamen, the Bai Clan’s guard, and Jiang Zhao’s musketeers … None of these people had escaped death.
The Jade Rabbit hung high in the air, giving off a refreshing golden breeze. The heavy aroma of the grapefruit flowers was intermixed with a pungent smell of blood. The atmosphere was incongruous, just like the scene here.
Bai Jiu held the delicate blue and white porcelain tea bowl in his hands and said “please” to his guest. His voice was slurred, his hands were trembling, and the lid of his bowl knocked against each other.
“Please… Please… Drink… “Tea …” Bai Jiu trembled in fear as he spoke.
The guest nodded once in silence.
The tiger-headed bird’s forehead looked like a mountain, while the pavilion was flat and drooping — such a magnificent appearance. From the looks of it, it was hard for anyone to believe that the other party was actually trying to kill them for their goods without using their capital.
In addition, his eyebrows were thick with a boundless killing intent. A head of long hair fell straight down, hung down to his waist, and had a moustache that was drawn in, and his face was pale, with a bunch of white hair on his forehead and two flying cheeks. In terms of age, he should be around fifty years old, but he was tall and well-built, and he was also about the same height as an ordinary person.
Ninth Master Bai could tell at first glance that the other party was someone extraordinary just by looking at him.
As the saying goes,” “One flower grows past the abdomen, filling the entire hall with gold and jade.” “The moustache was elegant and the beard was clean. The four seas were famous.” “The law is clear, but it gives one a sense of power when one looks at it.” “He who is burning with pride shall return to his homeland.” “A handsome man with eyebrows like swords.
How should he explain all of this to the opposite party?
The entire hall was filled with gold and jade – even though one might be rich, it was still a windfall.
The four seas were famous — there was a name, but there was a name of evil.
Looking forward and seeing his might, it must be unparalleled might.
The return of ten thousand people — all of them were bandits of the underbrush.
Wise people, of course, otherwise how could they walk around?
Bai Jiu was at a loss for words as he sized up the other party. The teacup in his hand was shaking uncontrollably as his mind was in a mess. He had long since prepared a plan, and it was time to go to Java. At this moment, he couldn’t even say a proper sentence.
The noble guest raised an eyebrow, his long eyes drooping. He ignored the existence of Master Bai Jiu in front of him, but he was still breathing heavily through his nose and throat.
Bai Jiu was simply flabbergasted. If he hadn’t heard wrongly, how else would he have been able to explain himself? How could the other party fall asleep at this critical juncture?
He was right. He had really fallen asleep.
In a split-second, he was snoring like thunder, echoing in all four halls.
“This …” Bai Jiu swallowed his saliva, his eyes eagerly staring at the man standing at the entrance of the hall, who was in charge of the errand. His face was pale and his body was trembling. “Old Boss …” “Did he fall asleep?” Qian Tian shook his head as if he didn’t find it strange. He gave a cold smile and said, “That’s right. He’s tired, but if there’s anything you want to say, just say it. My master cares about everything.”
“Ah?” “Yes, yes, yes.” Bai Jiu said.
Master Bai didn’t know what else to say other than ‘yes, yes, yes’. Even so, he couldn’t afford to make a scene. How could the size of the Bai Clan be a joke in a life or death situation?
“Boss …” Bai Jiu trembled like he had eaten the oil from a pipe, and said, “Your lordship …” “That invitation…”
The golden chicken stopped snoring and snorted, implying that it wanted him to continue.
“My master received …” “Got it …” Bai Jiu said. After saying ‘yes’ twice, Bai Jiu went on to say ‘yes’ with a bitter face. After a long time, Bai Jiu finally said, “Boss …” Maybe you don’t know yet… My Master, he… Although he had been a few officials in the capital in his early years, he was not like a foreign official … “So, so …”
At this point, Bai Jiu had no choice but to stop his words. Firstly, it was more difficult to say what he wanted to say, and secondly, the other party had apparently fallen asleep again. The sound of his snoring was truly shocking.
Bai Jiu clenched his fists and smiled wryly. “This …”
His eyes then turned towards Qian Tian who was at the side. He opened his mouth and stammered, “I hope you can look, sir. This …” “If the boss gets tired, we’ll …”
“You don’t need to beat around the bush, I don’t think you need to continue.” Qian Tiantang snorted coldly, “Ninth Brother Bai, we’ve finally met once, so we have to be friends.”
Bai Jiu smiled apologetically. “Yes, yes, yes. Please take responsibility.”
“Humph!” Qian Tianyu strode forward until he was right in front of Bai Jiu. He gave Bai Jiu a disdainful look and said, “My master has had his own rules all these years, don’t you know?”
“This… Wh… “What rules?” Bai Jiu asked.
“Hmph, no wonder.” Qian Tian frowned as he looked at him with disdain and said, “I’m not the one who should scare you. Hurry up and inform your master. Tell him to prepare his affairs!”
“Huh?” Bai Jiu cried out involuntarily. This last sentence was like a thunderclap to him. He had only half stood up when he sat down stiffly.
