when!
Finally, the sound of metal clashing rang out, and for the first time, the Xuanji Guard's sword was stopped.
The newcomer was Lin Ge, the secret guardian of the mint. He was a strong man who wielded a hundred-times-forged steel rod.
When facing an attack head-on, the power of the staff is naturally far greater than that of the longsword, yet he was forced to retreat half a step.
"Unauthorized trespassing on the important grounds of the mint and the killing of officials is an unforgivable crime!"
"The Xuanji Guard is investigating a case involving the minting of counterfeit currency; their crime is unforgivable!"
The masked man changed his previous infiltration style, speaking loudly and clearly, his words carrying far and wide.
Sharp whistles rang out one after another as the garrison soldiers rapidly assembled, but upon hearing these words, many of them stopped in their tracks.
The counterfeit money... has been exposed!
The clerk of the foundry's expression changed drastically, and he immediately bypassed the crowd and ran towards the village entrance.
The old registrar was soaked in the heavy rain and ran out of breath.
"Registrar Cao!" The gatekeeper caught the old man who almost fell. "What's wrong with you?"
"Quickly..." The old registrar was hunched over, and in his haste, he choked on some water and coughed violently.
He gripped the gatekeeper's arm tightly, "Quick...tell the Prince...the case has happened...the Xuanji Guard...is here..."
The gatekeeper's eyes were bulging, his pupils were fixed in the center, and his jaw was slumped as if it had lost all strength.
"Don't just stand there...go now!"
The gatekeeper snapped out of his daze at the repeated calls, staggered out, and tried several times before finally mounting the horse.
"Giddy up!" He urged his horse onward.
As he watched his figure disappear, the old registrar's legs gave way and he fell to the muddy ground, but he immediately got up in a disheveled state.
"Quickly, organize everyone to evacuate!"
The battle was raging in front of the government office.
Lingo wielded his long stick with impenetrable skill, the clanging and clattering sounds filling the air.
The fight looked fierce and evenly matched, but Lingo kept retreating.
His staff technique was fierce and powerful, and with the support of his fourth-grade strength, the destructive power of his staff was astonishing. He relied on brute force to overcome all techniques.
But today, Lin Ge was forced to defend himself by a long sword and couldn't find any opportunity to counterattack.
Not only that, but it was also clear that the other party still had some strength left, and he had become the mouse being toyed with by the cat!
laugh!
With a sharp crack, a seven- or eight-inch gash was slashed open on the left shoulder.
Lin Ge was startled. The wound was shallow, but he had no idea how he got injured, even though the enemy had been right in front of him the whole time!
Rank 3... Is that actually the Divine Martial Realm?
If that's the case, why create the illusion of fighting him?
Lin Ge tried to speak up to remind him, but every time he opened his mouth, the other party suddenly increased the force by three points, forcing him to have no time to pay attention to anything else.
To outsiders, however, their fight appeared to be a back-and-forth battle, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
The garrison troops assembled and surrounded the open space in front of the government office. Swords were drawn, and they awaited the outcome of the battle, while other officials and miners were organizing an orderly evacuation.
One cup of tea, two cups of tea... the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, and Lin Ge's breathing has gradually become heavy.
Even a fourth-grade true qi, which transforms into the limbs and bones and forms its own microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits, can not withstand the constant and intense consumption of energy.
His body was covered in hundreds of tiny wounds, and his clothes were tattered beyond recognition, yet each wound was remarkably minor.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, every blow could have easily taken his life, yet he repeatedly brushed past death, and Lin Ge's will was on the verge of collapse.
Bang!
The next moment, the long stick was knocked away, and Lin Ge's center was wide open.
laugh!
The longsword pierced through Lin Ge's body, but unlike when it pierced Qian Cheng, this time it pierced his heart.
With the surge of true energy, all his life force was instantly extinguished.
The man stood there, brandishing his longsword and flicking away the few drops of blood that stained the tip.
He turned around and stared at Inspector Qian Cheng Chen Yuheng, "Do you have any account books?"
Chen Yuheng gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with a fierce intensity that seemed to consume him. "No!"
The man raised an eyebrow and vanished in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared out of thin air among the surrounding soldiers.
The massacre has begun...
The flowing flames tightly enveloped themselves with "momentum," preventing any leakage and thus reducing the possibility of being discovered.
When he arrived at the mint, he found a large number of officials and miners fleeing in the rain.
He walked hurriedly, his face showing signs of panic.
Liu Yan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be? They were already being so careful, how could they have gotten the news in advance? Who leaked it?
No longer suppressing speed, charge full speed into the mint.
Halfway through the race, a sharp, stabbing pain suddenly shot through the back of my neck, and I quickly turned around and swung my iron fan.
when!
At the critical moment, the main bone of the iron fan blocked the long sword that suddenly pierced through the air.
Liu Yan recognized the newcomer as the sorcerer who had attempted to assassinate the princess on the riverbank.
"It's you!"
Yan Wujiu remained silent, only continuing to stab.
Liu Yan knew something was wrong, not knowing what the sorcerer was plotting. The only good news was that Yin Zhe was guarding the princess.
But this time there were no other entanglements, and the other party immediately went all out, so he dared not be distracted and went all out.
On the other side, the gatekeeper finally arrived at Prince Rui's manor at breakneck speed. His legs were trembling when he dismounted, and he scrambled to the gate.
Who are you?
After frantically knocking on the door, he was quickly surrounded by the manor guards.
"Quickly, inform the Prince! The Xuanji Guards have stormed the Mint and killed people!"
After saying this, the gatekeeper lost his nerve, collapsed to the ground with a thud, panting heavily.
Knowing the matter was of great importance, the guard ordered someone to help the gatekeeper up and put him to guard.
