The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
The streets thundered with the sound of horses' hooves.
Nearly a thousand martial artists, all on horseback.
More than ten martial artists from sects such as Blood Sword Hall, Bajiquan, and Longwei Martial Arts School were in front.
The Shahe Gang warriors were the last to hold the line.
The streets and alleys were deserted; pedestrians and vendors had long since left.
The doors of houses on both sides of the street were tightly closed.
Up in the attic, pairs of eyes cautiously peered out the window.
The Zhenwu Division's office was like an isolated island in a storm.
......
As the sound of horses' hooves approached, Li Fan stood up at the entrance of the government office.
Inside the yamen, in the attic, Yan Mingshu drew his bow.
One by one, the warriors of the Great Sword Sect, each wielding a powerful crossbow, began to aim.
......
Three thousand meters!
Two kilometers!
One kilometer!
"Whoever can kill Li Fan will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, the position of leader of the Black Tiger Hall of the Shahe Gang, and three second-rate martial arts techniques!"
He Yishen's voice came from within the formation.
The breathing of Liu Shi, the leader of the Blood Sword Hall, Xiang Tian, the deputy leader, Kang You, the leader of the Eighth Level Sect, Tian Gui, the former leader of the Dragon Might Martial Arts Hall, and Zhao Yilong, the leader of the Long Spear Sect, became rapid.
They didn't care about a thousand taels of gold.
But the position of Black Tiger Hall Master and the second-rate martial arts techniques are things they are willing to risk their lives for.
If previously, they dared not refuse because they were intimidated by the power of the Shahe Gang.
So now, there are already enough benefits.
"Blood Sword Hall, charge!"
"Eight Extremes Sect, kill!"
"Brothers of Longwei Martial Arts School, whoever can take Li Fan's head will be the next head of the martial arts school!"
"Spear Sect, charge!"
The leaders of the four major powers began to issue orders.
The team split into two.
The martial artists from Guangnan County rushed towards the Zhenwu Division.
He Yishen waved his hand, signaling the Shahe Gang warriors to slow down.
Those people are nothing but cannon fodder.
Using them to wear down Li Fan's strength would be the best option.
Although he didn't think there would be any changes in the operation, he would try to minimize the losses.
After all, the people who came this time were all his confidants!
......
800 meters!
700 meters!
500 meters!
Three hundred meters!
When the vanguard entered within 200 meters.
Li Fan drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
Three arrows shot out as fast as lightning.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Three clusters of blood bloomed in the crowd.
The arrow's terrifying power instantly killed the warrior charging at the forefront.
Their dead bodies crashed backward.
Meanwhile, behind the high walls of Zhenwu Division.
One by one, martial artists from the Great Sword Sect, each wielding a powerful crossbow, appeared.
"put!"
At Wang Taibao's command, a volley of crossbow bolts was fired.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
At a distance of two hundred meters, the power of the crossbow bolts is exceptionally terrifying.
Fifty crossbow bolts fired in a single volley, instantly killing more than thirty warriors in the first three rows.
Their fall from their horses instantly threw the entire formation into chaos.
"Sixth-rank martial artists, step forward! Brave the crossbow bolts, charge into the Zhenwu Division!"
From within the crowd came Liu Shi's angry roar.
As he finished speaking, nearly thirty figures leaped high into the air on their horses.
"put!"
As they leaped into the air, a second volley of crossbow bolts came flying.
However, thanks to the parrying of these sixth-rank martial artists, the second volley of crossbow bolts did not cause significant casualties.
The martial arts alliance, having readjusted its formation, quickly rushed to a point less than 100 meters from the Zhenwu Division.
Those sixth-rank martial artists who were faster had already reached the walls of the Zhenwu Division.
"open!"
One powerful and heavy strike after another fell.
Cracks appeared in the high wall.
The knight following closely behind spurred his horse to crash directly into the wall.
Click!
Accompanied by the sound of cracks appearing in the walls.
One gap after another appeared.
"Fire the crossbow bolts! The rest of you, follow me and kill!"
Yan Mingshu stepped out of the tall building and rushed towards the gap.
Liu Nanjun was guarding him on both sides.
Li Feiyu, Wang Taibao, Wang Taishan, Zhang Hu, Hu Tieshan and other powerful figures also charged forward.
......
Upon seeing this, Li Fan put down the iron bow.
This kind of ordinary iron-core bow has become very limited in its lethality against martial artists of the sixth rank and above.
He jumped down from the government office.
Thump!
With a muffled thud, a hole appeared in the bluestone floor.
He then charged toward the martial arts alliance like a cannonball.
"Charge! Surround and kill him!"
Seeing Li Fan rushing towards them, Liu Shi and the other four gave orders at the same time.
Warhorses neighed, and the martial artist's true energy surged.
Their flesh and blood charged forward, just like a torrent of steel.
Compared to him, Li Fan alone seemed so insignificant.
Just then, Xiaobai appeared on the high wall.
Its fur stood on end, and its eyes turned completely dark gold.
"roar!"
Little White opened its mouth, and a ferocious roar reverberated from its chest.
A fierce aura enveloped everything like frost.
The charging human warriors were relatively unharmed.
The warhorses that were galloping forward seemed to be frozen in place.
The galloping hooves instantly stiffened.
Herod!
"dismount!"
The horses neighed and collided, throwing the entire column into chaos.
Liu Shi and others, who were directing from a distance, gave the order.
But at that moment, a sharp blade of light slashed down.
A twenty-meter-long bloody path was plowed through the charging crowd.
The mangled remains and limbs were torn to pieces and scattered, leaving ravines and gullies on the bluestone ground.
Glug!
Liu Shi, who was overseeing the battle from the rear, swallowed hard.
Not only him, but Xiang Tian, Kang You, Tian Gui, and Zhao Yilong were also shocked.
That stab startled them!
"Don't be intimidated by him!"
"The more powerful the move, the more true energy it consumes!"
He was all alone.
"We can wear him down, even if it means exhausting him!"
He Yishen's voice rang out again.
Upon hearing his words, He Yishen and the other four also realized what was happening.
"Whoever can harm him will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land, three beautiful concubines, and a thousand taels of silver!"
Wealth can be very tempting!
The warriors, who had been initially intimidated, turned red-eyed and began to surround and attack Li Fan.
Li Fan advanced with his knife, each step bringing bloodshed and carnage.
He was like a tireless robot, slaying one martial artist after another.
......
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Fan once again swung his sword forward.
There was no one to stop them now; the martial artists who had surrounded them had all turned into corpses.
The breach that had been created in the Zhenwu Division was left behind by him.
He was covered in blood, looking like a demon from hell, and walked toward Liu Shi and his four men who were overseeing the battle, carrying a knife.
......
"What exactly is this monster?"
"Master Liu, what should we do!"
"Should we run?"
Seeing Li Fan slowly approaching, Zhao Yilong and the other three panicked.
A team of over nine hundred martial artists, with four hundred of them rushing into the Zhenwu Division through the breach.
The remaining 500-plus people were all surrounding and killing Li Fan.
As a result, while the fighting was still raging inside the Zhenwu Division, Li Fan's side had already been cleared out.
He had originally planned to go up and finish off the enemy, but after seeing this scene, he didn't even want to go up and finish them off; he just wanted to turn around and run away.
"Chief He!"
Liu Shi, as if pleading for help, consulted He Yishen, who was not far away.
"Kill him, or you all die!"
He Yishen's cold voice came through.
Liu Shi gave a bitter smile.
I think I've chosen the wrong side!
But now that the mistake has been made, there's no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.
"Gentlemen, let's fight to the death!"
He dismounted and pressed his fingers on three acupoints on his chest.
Immediately afterwards, his face turned red at a visible speed, and veins bulged out like coiled earthworms.
The vital energy was boiling, like boiling water surging.
When he used the secret method to unleash his potential, Xiang Tian, Kang You, Tian Gui, and Zhao Yilong made the same choice.
Five innate masters simultaneously attacked Li Fan.
Liu Shi and Xiang Tian's swords transformed into two streaks of blood-red rainbows.
One strikes straight at the face, the other at the dantian.
Kang You stepped forward with his feet in a fighting stance, his body moving like a warhorse charging forward. His fists unleashed a powerful gust of wind, and with each step forward, his fists became three times faster. He appeared to Li Fan's left, his fists blasting out like heavy cannons.
Tian Gui appeared to Li Fan's right, slashing out with his broadsword, the innate qi emanating from it radiating a cold light.
Burning Blood Annihilation Slash!
Li Fan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead slashed down with his long sword.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
A knife mark spread across the earth into the distance.
Bang!
Bang!
Liu Shi and Xiang Tian's bodies were simultaneously shattered by the slash containing the power of the Mountain-Shaking Fist.
As Li Fan's longsword fell to the ground, Kang You's fist and Tian Gui's sword landed on him simultaneously.
"Go to hell!"
Your head is mine!
clang!
As Kang You's fist slammed down, Li Fan's body trembled slightly.
Horizontal training technique!
Almost instantly, Kang You realized something was wrong.
He pushed off with both feet and rolled to the side, trying to create distance.
But at that moment, Li Fan had already turned around and rushed in front of him.
The power of the Mountain-Shaking Fist is concentrated in the left hand.
Then he threw a punch.
Bang!
Kang Youwei's robust body was torn to pieces.
Clang!
At the same time, Tian Gui's sword slashed down heavily.
His clothes were torn, and Li Fan's back looked as if it were coated with a layer of gold paint.
The long sword, imbued with true energy, only left a mark on his back!
What kind of monster is this?!
As Kang Youxin was shocked, Li Fan swung his sword backhand.
Kang You returned to the horizontal bar, and a tremendous force blasted him away.
Is it blocked?
He looked at Li Fan, but his vision was blurring.
Then, a dizzying sensation followed, and he saw his headless corpse and the shattered longsword.
"Die!"
At this moment, Zhao Yilong's gun appeared.
As Li Fan killed four people, his gun was pointed directly at Li Fan's right eye.
No matter how strong your external martial arts skills are, you can't train your eyes.
This shot was meant to kill...
laugh!
The spear pierced Li Fan's right eye and then went through his head.
But the spear in his hand did not feel like it had pierced anything.
Afterimage!
Realizing something was wrong, Zhao Yilong released his spear and fled backward.
But before he could run ten meters, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
He watched as his head slammed into the ground.
