Every time a prisoner was about to be beheaded, he would be pushed in a prison van and paraded through the city for public display.
This was done to warn other lawless elements not to break the law easily, and also to give the people in the city a chance to vent.
So after Chen Laoliu and the others walked around the city, their car was already full of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
When we arrived at the execution ground, there were already a lot of people surrounding it in three layers.
A group of martial artists were hiding among these onlookers, and the double-gun general Luan Peng was one of them. This time, he received an invitation from his fellow martial artists and came to the capital with his two apprentices and daughter.
Looking at Chen Laoliu in the prison van, Luan Peng sighed and said, "I remember once having a drink with Chen Dangjia on Mudao Mountain. He was such a hero back then. I never thought he would end up like this."
Upon hearing this, one of Luan Peng's disciples was filled with righteous indignation and said, "It's all that evil Taoist's fault. I heard that in order to practice his evil methods, he has begun secretly arresting martial artists like us. He's even gone so far as to attack the Buddhist and Taoist sects in order to steal their martial arts secrets!"
After saying this, everyone's faces looked unhappy. As for those who are in the martial arts world, there is no one who does not value his own martial arts secrets. That is the capital for them to survive in this martial arts world.
Lu Chen actually wanted to steal someone else's martial arts secrets, which was a very taboo thing.
Luan Peng's daughter, Luan Hongyan, was filled with righteous indignation and said, "A demon like this should be killed by anyone. Now that we're here, there's no reason to let him go!"
Luan Peng also nodded and said, "The friends from Mudao Mountain will definitely come to rescue their leader Chen soon. Let's take advantage of the opportunity to attack and kill that monster on the spot, and rid the world of this scourge!"
After saying this, Luan Peng looked at his daughter and said, "Don't go up there for a while. I brought you here mainly to broaden your horizons. Once we attack you, start setting fires and creating chaos."
"Dad, my martial arts skills are pretty good among the younger generation. I can help you guys, so let me help you kill that demon and those corrupt officials!"
Luan Peng waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Be obedient. You don't have much experience in the martial arts world, so you should stay here and support us! No need to argue, that demon is coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sedan chair carried by eight people came from a distance. At first glance, you could tell that the bearers must be very skilled.
The sedan chair did not stop midway and went straight to the side of the supervising official. The official in charge of the execution hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying, "Welcome, Imperial Master."
A voice floated out from the sedan chair and said, "No need to be so polite. I think it's getting late. Let's carry out the execution early."
Seeing this scene, Luan Hongyan couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "He hides his head and shows his tail, he is indeed a rat!"
Luan Peng also lowered his voice and said, "Get ready. Don't worry about anything else for a while, kill that demon first!"
At this time, the executioner had already begun reading out Chen Laoliu's crimes. After reading out all the charges, the executioner said with a serious face: "Chen Laoliu, your death is imminent. Do you have any last words? Do you plead guilty?"
After hearing this, many people in the martial arts world couldn't help but spit. The imperial court was planning to kill people and destroy their hearts.
If Chen Laoliu confessed his guilt and accepted punishment in front of so many people, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the martial artists.
"Humph, these corrupt officials really underestimate Brother Chen. Brother Chen is a man of steel. Even if his head falls off, it's just a scar the size of a bowl. He will be a brave man again in 20 years. Will he bow his head? This is ridiculous!"
This is also the reason why many people from the martial arts world are planning to rescue Chen Laoliu this time. In their opinion, Chen Laoliu is indeed a man, and such a hero should not die at the hands of the court.
However, what no one could have imagined was that the supposedly iron-willed Chen Laoliu suddenly burst into tears and kowtowed after hearing these words, saying, "I submit to the law, I plead guilty, and I am willing to die. I only ask that before I die, you give me one more Xiaoyao Pill!"
"Master Lu, I know I was wrong. I'm a bastard, a beast. I shouldn't have offended the dignity of an immortal. I deserve death. Please, considering my good attitude in admitting my mistakes, give me one more Xiaoyao Pill before I die."
"Ahhh, kill me! Kill me! It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
As he spoke, Chen Laoliu began to bang his head on the ground frantically, and this scene scared the onlookers around him.
I have seen people kneeling down and begging for mercy before being beheaded, and I have also seen people pointing to the sky and cursing the earth, but I have never seen anyone asking for a quick death.
Two executioners stepped forward and tried to hold down Chen Laoliu. If Chen Laoliu killed himself before being beheaded, it would be a serious accident for the executioners.
Executioners are usually big and strong. If two of them work together, it should be easy to hold down Chen Laoliu.
But after I really got the hang of it, I found that Chen Laoliu's strength was terrifying.
He broke free from the two executioners, but did not run away. Instead, he kept rolling on the spot, scratching his body with his fingers. Soon, his body was covered with bloody marks, so deep that the bones were visible!
Seeing this scene, both ordinary people and martial artists present gasped.
What kind of methods did Lu Chen use to torture such a strong man into this state?
What is the Xiaoyao Pill that Chen Laoliu mentioned!
Luan Hongyan, who had just said that she wanted to go into battle with her father to kill the enemy, was now trembling with fear.
Luan Peng also looked at Chen Laoliu who was still rolling around with a complicated expression and said, "No wonder everyone says that Lu Chen is a demon. He really has mastered some devilish tricks. If we don't kill him, there will be no peace in the martial arts world!"
The executioner panicked and ordered, "All of you, hurry up and hold the prisoner down! It's noon, execute him!"
In fact, it was not yet noon, but neither the supervising official nor the executioner wanted to wait any longer.
One of the executioners held Chen Laoliu down, while the other drank some wine and sprayed it on the knife, intending to chop off Chen Laoliu's head.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the crowd: "Brother Chen, hold on, we are here to save you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty people from the martial arts world armed with weapons rushed towards the execution ground.
Luan Peng's eyes lit up and he whispered, "Let's do it too! Kill! Demon Dao, give me your life!"
"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you! The Imperial Master's predictions are indeed accurate! Brothers, don't let any of them go today! Kill them all! Archers, get ready, release!"
