Chapter 22 Iron Rod

Chen Luo searched the house again and made sure that nothing was missing before he jumped out over the wall.

He definitely won't go through the door.

In places like this after a riot, it is easiest to be ambushed through the front door.

After leaving his master Ma Quezi's house, Chen Luo turned and walked towards West Street. He remembered that Ma Quezi had told him before that his junior sister He Min's house was over there. Unlike Chen Luo, his junior sister He Min's family was involved in a gang, and her father was a high-ranking gang member. It was precisely because of this that He Min was able to learn martial arts from a young age and became Ma Quezi's disciple.

After passing the alley, the road became noticeably wider.

The roads were much cleaner, and the houses had changed from dilapidated thatched huts and low tiled houses to luxury houses with independent gates and courtyards. The people living here were obviously people of status in Qingya County. He Min's father was a high-ranking official in the Shahu Gang, so his living conditions could not be bad.

This wealthy area should have been the hardest hit area after the bandits entered the city, but strangely, the damage here was not as serious as that in the slums. Although there were signs of fire, the houses basically did not collapse, and no one had corpses displayed at the doorstep. Except for the doors being closed, it looked almost the same as before.

This scene gave Chen Luo some guesses in his mind.

'It should be here soon.'

After confirming the direction, Chen Luo put a little more force on his feet and leaped to the corner.

Junior sister He Min’s home is at the innermost part.

But just as he passed the corner, his figure suddenly stopped, and he stood at the corner and looked over there.

There were two groups of people fighting at the gate where the He family was located. One group was the imperial court's "suppression of rebellion" soldiers, and the other group was wearing clothes from the dock, and at first glance they were masters of the Shahu Gang. The two gangs fought very fiercely, and more than a dozen people fell on both sides of the road, with casualties on both sides.

"Why did these two groups of people fight?"

Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to go over or not. According to his previous guess, these people on West Street were likely to be in collusion with the officers and soldiers of Qingya County.

"Black Tiger's Heart!"

Just as Chen Luo was about to observe further, a roar sounded, followed by the thunderous sound of a fist. Following the sound, he saw Ma Quezi using the Black Tiger Fist, a killer move. With one punch, he was like a tiger. The fist force exploded and hit the soldier closest to him.

There was a crisp sound of "crack", and the soldier's chest collapsed on the spot, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The man was sent flying by the force of the punch and knocked down seven or eight people before he stopped.

This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After the punch, Ma Quezi's whole body was steaming with heat, and the blood in his body was like lead and mercury, and it even made a sound like flowing water. This was because Ma Quezi was disabled. If his legs and feet were not disabled before, he could even punch out the strange phenomenon of blood and qi smoke.

That’s as far as we can go now.

"How brave!"

An armored captain from the imperial court grabbed a broadsword and slashed at Ma Quezi.

The man's timing of attack was very precise. At this moment, Ma Quezi's old strength was exhausted and his new strength was not yet generated. Looking at the oncoming knife, he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the killing move just now consumed too much energy, making his body completely unable to keep up with his own reaction speed, and he was about to be beheaded by the enemy.

"Master Ma!"

The masters of the Shahu Gang who were fighting desperately in the crowd turned pale when they saw this scene. Other members of the Shahu Gang also wanted to come to help, but the people from the imperial court did not give them any chance and used all their strength to hold them back.

This scene made everyone present despair.

If the master Ma Cuzi died, then none of the people present would be able to escape.

clang!!

An iron rod swept across and blocked the fatal blow with its speed.

When the broadsword and the iron rod collided, the powerful force caused the court master's arms to go numb and his knuckles to crack. He raised his hand and saw that his wrist was injured and blood was dripping down.

"who?!"

The court master roared subconsciously.

But before the sound completely disappeared, he saw the iron rod change direction and hit him in the face without saying a word.

"court death!!"

The court master was furious and had no time to look at who had attacked him. He instantly transferred all the internal energy in his body, and concentrated the internal energy of the middle stage of the second realm on the weapon. With the power of heavy weapons added, he chopped at the iron rod in a head-on manner.

This sword is extremely powerful. If a master of the same level encounters it, he will definitely be defeated by the advantage of his equipment. This is also the most commonly used sword technique among the troops.

Cruel and risking one's life!

clang!!!

There was another loud bang, and the big knife was bent, sparks flew, and the expected scene of cutting it in two did not happen. Instead, the force from the iron rod was transmitted along.

Everyone only heard a muffled sound, followed by the sound of bones breaking.

The imperial master's forehead was like a tofu brain that exploded, blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, and he was swept out and hit the stone wall behind him, leaving a big hole. His body sank into the wall, and his legs twitched twice outside.

No air left.

hiss!!!

Such a cruel and brutal scene frightened everyone.

The master in armor was no small fry. Since the beginning of the war, several leaders of the Shahu Gang had died at the hands of this master. Even Ma Quezi was no match for him in a head-on confrontation. Such a fierce man was actually beaten to death with an iron rod in front of him.

The whole process took just a few blinks of an eye, it was a complete crushing, just like a father beating his son.

"Master Ma, are you okay?"

Chen Luo walked out from the alley next to him. He came there to save people, so it was impossible for him to just watch Ma Quezi die in front of him.

He had just picked up the iron rod from the hand of a dead soldier. After being infused with internal energy, it was impossible for a court master in the inner training realm to cut it off.

"You forged your bones?!"

Ma Quezi sat down on the ground and looked at Chen Luo who walked out from the alley.

I had a lot to say, but in the end it all turned into this shocking sentence.

A strong bone forging expert!

"I just broke through yesterday." Chen Luo grinned.

As expected of the master who taught him martial arts, he has a good eyesight.

Hearing his affirmative words, everyone around was shocked, especially the people in the court, who had already begun to retreat.

A master in the Bone Tempering Realm is enough to change the outcome of the battle!

They also didn't expect that such a remote place like Qingya County could produce such a master. If you really have such strength, why don't you go to the provincial capital? Compared with the horror of the court, the people of the Shahu Gang were surprised and happy.

I thought I was in a hopeless situation, but unexpectedly there was a ray of hope.

With this person's help, the Shahu Gang has survived the disaster today.

"run!!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

In an instant, all the imperial soldiers scattered like birds and beasts, even dropping their weapons and fleeing in all directions. This scattered formation was no different from that of bandits, and they only bullied the elderly, the weak, women and children.

"I'll take care of it."

Chen Luo picked up the iron rod in his hand and chased after him in a flash.

Since we have already started killing each other, of course we must leave no one alive.

These soldiers were not good people either. They killed countless civilians in Qingya County. Everyone had blood on their hands. Among them, there might be people who were familiar to him like Aunt Wang. Thinking of the miserable conditions of those people, Chen Luo swung the iron rod in his hand even faster.
