For hundreds of years, under the management of the Han family, Hanshan City has been relatively stable. Although there are fights in the city, the city guards will soon calm the situation. The only major event was the fight between Han Yunzhi's only son and several disciples of the Han family more than a hundred years ago. The offender fled with his entire family, and the Han family issued a city-wide arrest warrant.

So, when Wuyanqing suddenly appeared in the busy area of ​​the city and roared angrily at the crowd, most people were knocked down and torn to pieces before they could react.

A sharp whistle sounded in the sky, and the city guards quickly gathered and rushed to the scene of the incident. Because it was located in a prosperous area, there were shops everywhere, the goods in the shops were valuable, and there were monks shopping in the shops who had not escaped yet. The city guards were afraid to act rashly, so they could only find ways to lure Wuyanqing to a place with few people to deal with it.

This chaos was just a diversion, and the forces under the City Lord's Mansion were dispatched to the place where the incident occurred. Even though they knew it was a trick, the City Lord's Mansion had to come to the rescue. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Zhong family's children and the vassal forces accumulated over the years came out in full force, rushed to the Han family and the important institutions of Zhishitang, and massacred the Han family members there.

Chen Xiao was completely unaware of all this. The battle in front of him was already thrilling. After recovering from the shock and regaining some strength, he got up from the ground. He shouted at Tong Nuonuo and Du Rong who he was protecting: "Go, get out! It's going to collapse!!"

The three of them rolled and crawled out of the collapsed gate and came to the street. Chen Xiao looked around and ran wildly in the direction of the mountain. He had to run for his life, as one Jindan was seriously injured, and there was another one.

In the sky, Xi Yunting had been paying attention to them, just trying to avoid being at a disadvantage in the fight. Seeing that the three of them were not completely helpless, he felt relieved. He looked at the Nascent Soul cultivator opposite with cold eyes, stretched out his arms, and a heavy sword with a snow-sharp blade appeared in his hands.

A sword cultivator, and a heavy sword cultivator at that! The Yuanying cultivator on the opposite side was wary and kept some distance. When a martial arts cultivator fights a magic cultivator, getting close is a disadvantage. Especially when it comes to a heavy sword cultivator who is invincible in a one-on-one fight with a person of the same realm, he should keep a distance.

Xi Yunting turned his wrist and pressed down hard. A huge sword shadow appeared on the heavy sword, and it grew in the wind. In an instant, it grew to a height of several dozen feet. The heavy sword was like a mountain, smashing down towards the Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Yuanying cultivator was shocked and angry. He was annoyed by this kind of sword cultivator and martial arts cultivator! Whether it was far or near, it made people uncomfortable. The Yuanying cultivator condensed into a huge khaki shield in his hand, ready to withstand the attack.

The moment the mountain-like sword shadow collided, it chopped the Nascent Soul cultivator down by half. The sword shadow's blade was actually attached with extremely sharp metal essence, and it was just a little bit away from cutting the giant shield in half. He was shocked, and desperately output earth-attributed essence in his hands to increase the thickness of the giant shield.

With just this move, Xi Yunting changed from defense to offense. However, the opponent was a Yuanying cultivator after all, and had more experience in fighting than him. Although Xi Yunting had been attacking, he was unable to break through the opponent's defense.

Chen Xiao used all his strength to run along the wide road. His lungs ached so much that they were about to explode, and his legs felt like they were tied with sandbags, heavy and sore.

No matter how weak Tong Nuonuo was, his physique was stronger than Chen Xiao's, and he quickly caught up. He even surpassed Chen Xiao and became the leader. Du Rong followed behind the two of them, looking back from time to time.

"Did he catch up with me?!" Chen Xiao swallowed hard to moisten his dry throat.

"No!" Du Rong said.

"Did two of them explode at once?" Tong Nuonuo asked.

"One was seriously injured, and the other was far away and was blown away. Don't be lucky, he must be fine!" Du Rong fell down facing the explosion, and he vaguely saw another Jindan attacker being pushed away by the violent spiritual power shock emitted by the bomb. However, it was just a vague glimpse, and Du Rong was not sure whether the other party was affected or retreated because he saw the situation was not good.

The street was wide, and no matter how far apart the houses on both sides were, they could still hear such a loud noise. When they ran past, a resident opened the door and stood in front of the door looking out. Seeing that those people were unaware of the danger, Chen Xiao shouted at them: "The cultivators are fighting, don't come out--" Before he finished speaking, he had already run over like a gust of wind. When the family heard it clearly, their faces changed and they immediately closed the door.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them had already run to the end of the road. This was not the mountain road that Chen Xiao had expected, but a dead end!

Tong Nonuo stopped in bewilderment and looked back at him innocently. Chen Xiao panted quickly and cursed, "Damn it, there is no way!" It was obvious that Tong Nonuo, who was leading the way, had strayed from the main road at some point. Chen Xiao was only concerned with following Tong Nonuo so as not to be left behind by him, completely forgetting that he was a person with poor sense of direction.

Du Rong panted and said, "It's unexpected that we can run this far. It's too late to change direction now, so let's fight here!"

Chen Xiao nodded, checked the weapon in his hand, turned to Tong Nuonuo and said, "Cooperate like before. I will interfere with him, and once there is a chance, you will blow him up with a bomb!" After that, he took out the bomb on his body and handed it to Du Rong, "You take one too! Find a suitable opportunity to throw it out, and remember to lie down in time to protect yourself."

"Okay!" Tong Nuonuo and Du Rong responded in unison.

"Hahaha! You've been running around, and you ended up in a dead end!" The Jindan attacker chased after them while he was talking. His clothes were in a mess, and his hair was messed up by the aura. The ugliest thing was his face, which had turned pale from the sudden explosion just now, and now looked ferocious because of his anger. He said cruelly, "I really underestimated you three little rats. Why don't you go around in circles? Do you think I can't find you if you go around in circles?"

Did they go around just now? This thought flashed through Chen Xiao's mind, and then he threw it behind his head. He was ready for battle. The fight just now was too sudden, and he couldn't stand firmly. At this moment, he stood firmly on both feet according to the posture trained by Tong Nuonuo, one hand across his body, and the other hand holding the umbrella-like mechanical weapon.

The Jindan attacker noticed his look and laughed in anger: "Hey, did you think I would fall into the same pit twice?" He raised his hand and showed a spell-casting gesture, "Prepare to die!!!"

A red, hot light burst out and flew towards the three people. The speed was too fast, and Chen Xiao had no time to take the initiative. Fortunately, Tong Nuonuo rushed forward, and the mechanism box behind him blocked him.

“Ahhh——” Although the mechanism box blocked most of the fire attacks, the dissipated energy still burned Tong Nuonuo and made him scream.

"Nono!" Chen Xiao was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to step forward.

Du Rong was calm and collected, watching for the right moment, and when the opponent was about to finish casting a spell, he threw the bomb in his hand. He deliberately hit the opponent's spell, and the bomb was immediately triggered. "Boom!!!" There was a loud noise, and everyone's eyes were filled with red and white light. The earth trembled, and the spiritual energy was agitated, blowing people to the ground and making them unable to stand.

This time Chen Xiao was prepared and recovered quickly. He stood up and rushed to the fallen Tong Nuonuo. "Nonuo! How are you?"

Tong Nuonuo's condition was extremely miserable. His skin was torn apart by the burns, and his bones were exposed in the most serious places. It was his foundation-building period that saved his life. If it was a cultivator like Du Rong, he would have been cooked to death.

"I'm not dead yet—" Tong Nuonuo grimaced in pain. He wanted to touch his face, but his hands and face were in so much pain. Finally, he gave up checking whether he was disfigured. He ignored the burning sensation and pulled the mechanism box over to open it. He quickly took out a metal cylinder from it. "Brother Du, this is for you. I have no other use for him at the moment. These bombs are the only thing that can deal with him."

Du Rong quickly took it and said, "It should be fine now." Tong Nuonuo said, "That person is right. A person cannot fall into the same pit twice."

Tong Nuonuo is a mechanical engineer and knows that weapons made by mechanical engineers have such defects. A surprise attack can only succeed once. If he is caught off guard again, the mechanical engineer will not be able to succeed.

As expected, Tong Nuonuo was right. After a while, when the aftermath of the spiritual energy dissipated, the Jindan attacker came back with a laugh. This time, he was obviously on guard in advance. When Du Rong threw the bomb, he began to retreat. Apart from being blown, he was fine.

"Is that all you can do?" He sneered, "Now it's my turn!" He flipped his hand, took out a jade talisman, and was about to crush it.

But this time Chen Xiao got the upper hand. As soon as the Jindan attacker showed up, he pointed his weapon at him and flipped the switch. Although the metal spiritual needle did not cause much damage, it was just like being pricked by a hedgehog's thorns when it hit a Jindan cultivator. However, the feeling of being pricked by one thorn was completely different from being pricked by thousands of thorns.

The Jindan attacker had a burst of fiery red true energy all over his body that acted as a shield. The energy of the spiritual energy needle was weak and it disintegrated when it hit the shield.

Chen Xiao's eyes turned, and the energy on the shield was also a kind of energy that could also trigger the bomb. So he repeated the same trick, signaled to Du Rong, and turned to the side. Seeing this, Du Rong hurriedly threw the bomb in his hand over.

The golden elixir suddenly retreated, and the purple-red ball did not touch the shield. It drew an arc and fell to the ground, rolling to the side and stopped.

The Jindan immediately discovered the fatal flaw of this hidden weapon. It could not be activated without the true essence of the two opposing cultivators. As long as he was careful not to touch it with his true essence, he would not have to worry about this little thing.

This discovery made him very happy. He simply did not fight with the two people who were still able to move, but moved around and cast spells, making it impossible for them to get close with hidden weapons.

Du Rong threw one and only had one left in his hand. If they couldn’t score again, they would be in danger!

Du Rong saw that the other party was just moving back and forth in the distance, and his eyes flickered as he looked at the purple ball not far away. He turned around and handed the cylinder to Chen Xiao, saying, "Cover me, I'll go get that one."

"No need!" Chen Xiao stretched out his hand but failed to grab Du Rong, and suddenly became very anxious.

Du Rong ran towards the purple ball, and his intention to pick it up was discovered by the Jindan attacker. He immediately made a judgment that they no longer had that powerful hidden weapon! So, he immediately rushed towards Du Rong.

Tong Nuonuo turned her head towards this direction, her eyes wide open and her mind blank.

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth and pointed the weapon at the man, roaring at Du Rong: "Throw it—"

Du Rong heard it. He only had the last one left in his hand, but he could no longer hesitate whether it was useful or not, so he threw it out directly.

He originally thought that the Jindan attacker would dodge like before, but he didn't expect that he didn't dodge at all and let the purple ball hit him. He had no true energy at this time, and he didn't use any spells. The ball just hit him, and the force was not enough to tickle him.

The Jindan attacker showed a vicious smile and looked at Du Rong, but he only saw the other party turn around and pounce. Before he could figure out what the other party was pretending to be, he felt a pain all over his body like being pricked by needles.

"I've been fooled--" Before he could finish this thought, the violent explosion of spiritual energy annihilated his consciousness.

Tong Nuonuo stared blankly at the body of the Jindan attacker flying apart, his limbs scattered. The strong wind blowing in his face forced him to close his eyes.

"Cough cough!" This time, Chen Xiao didn't have time to dodge in advance, and was knocked down several times by the shaken spiritual energy, and ate a mouthful of dirt.

After the shock subsided, Chen Xiao shook his head and shook off the loose dirt on his head. He stood up and looked over there. Seeing the Jindan attacker dying in the distance, he lay down with peace of mind, knowing that he could no longer get up to hurt them.

Then he turned aside as if remembering something, and looked at Tong Nuonuo. He only heard the other person muttering, "It seems that the controllable delayed excitation is better than the instant excitation. But how to set the delay link inside? Hmm... you can consider..."

Chen Xiao glanced up at the sky, it seemed that he was fine.

Du Rong also got up with a dusty face. He did not dare to be careless. He looked at the attacker who was only breathing out but not breathing in. He was worried that he could be revived by his companions later, which would add another enemy to them, so he stabbed him cleanly.

After standing there for a while to relax, Du Rong went to pick up the bomb on the ground. Then, he came over to help Chen Xiao up and said to him, "Well done!" If it weren't for Chen Xiao's sudden inspiration, Du Rong would have been dead at this time.

Chen Xiao chuckled, then frowned. He was a little worried about Xi Yunting. He wondered how he was doing.

Xi Yunting was fighting fiercely with the Nascent Soul cultivator at this time. After two loud noises, the two people's reactions were completely different. Xi Yunting was calm, but the Nascent Soul cultivator was a little restless.

The three of them were not useful or valued among the vassals. Otherwise, at this critical moment, the Han family, Zhishitang and other institutions would have to send people, but they were assigned the most worthless task. To eliminate this Jindan stage practitioner who followed Han Butler and only showed up once or twice.

Originally, he was still feeling angry. Killing a Jindan was such a sure thing. Just any Yuanying could do the job, but they sent three people to deal with it in such a serious manner.

But they didn't expect that this man actually had an accomplice. At the beginning of the battle, one Jindan was killed. Another one chased out, but only heard the noise, but didn't see anyone coming back. If one more person is lost, the casualties will be more than half. Not only will he not get any credit, but he will also be responsible for the fault. The Yuanying cultivator wanted to end the battle here quickly and go to see the situation. But he didn't expect that the sword cultivator in front of him, who was only a Jindan, was so difficult to deal with.

The Nascent Soul cultivator looked at Xi Yunting with cold eyes and secretly made a little movement.

Just a moment later, Xi Yunting, who was in a downwind position, suddenly noticed a faint green smoke floating in front of him.

Poisonous smoke?! Xi Yunting's face turned pale.
