Xia He stood in the center of the courtyard, the Tafeng Knife in his hand trembling slightly, the blade shining coldly in the night.
The killers on the opposite side had grim looks in their eyes, and the long knives in their hands were like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
The leading killer sneered, his voice hoarse and low, "One person dared to rush up to us and act arrogantly, he really doesn't know how to live or die!"
Xia He did not respond, but just narrowed his eyes slightly, and the blood in his body began to boil.
His heartbeat quickened, his breathing became rapid, and he seemed to have entered a strange state.
"Bleeding!" Xia He growled, with a hint of suppressed excitement in his voice.
The killers on the opposite side obviously noticed Xia He's change, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
The leading killer frowned and said coldly: "This kid is a bit weird, don't be careless!"
Before he finished speaking, several killers attacked at the same time. Their long swords cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and the sword light was like a dragon emerging from the sea, heading straight for Xia He's face.
Xia He did not retreat but advanced, sweeping out with his Stepping Peak Knife, and the blade collided with the opponent's blade, making a harsh metallic collision sound.
"Dang!" Sparks flew everywhere, Xia He only felt his arm shake and his palm slightly numb, but he managed to withstand the blow.
"This kid is just refining his organs!" A killer exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.
How can the internal organs be used to block the transformation of energy? It is incredible.
The leading killer had a gloomy expression, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent:
"Boy, don't think you can be arrogant just because you are a little weird! The gap between Hua Jin and Lian Zang cannot be made up by your little tricks!"
Xia He did not answer, but just clenched the knife in his hand, and the blood in his body boiled again.
He could feel the burning power and the cold murderous aura interweaving in his body, as if two torrents were rushing through his meridians.
His eyes became sharper, like a beast ready to pounce.
"Come again!" Xia He growled and took the initiative to attack. His Peak-Taking Knife swung sharply towards the leading killer.
The killers obviously did not expect Xia He to dare to attack actively, and were caught off guard for a moment.
The leading killer hurriedly swung his knife to block, but Xia He's knife was too fierce and actually forced him back several steps.
"This kid... is not right!" another killer said in a low voice, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
The leading killer gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Don't worry about it, attack together and make a quick decision!"
Several assassins attacked again, and the sword lights swept in like a storm. Although Xia He was at a disadvantage, he relied on the two strange powers in his body to withstand the opponent's attack.
Every time the blades collide, a vast amount of energy and blood will flow out of the body.
"Blood Shield!"
"Nirvana!"
Although he was hit on the shoulder, he recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This kid... could it be that he has developed some strength?"
One of the killers finally couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.
The leading killer's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Impossible! How can one cultivate the power of strength at the internal organs refining stage? This kid must have used some evil magic!"
Xia He sneered, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "Witchcraft? Who can compare with you?"
Before he finished speaking, Xia He suddenly exerted force, and the Peak-Taking Knife, with a sharp blade wind, slashed straight at the leading killer.
The killer hurriedly swung his knife to block, but Xia He's knife was too fierce, and it actually knocked his knife away, and the blade was directly against his chest.
"Not good!" The leading killer's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated, but it was too late. Xia He's blade slashed across his chest, leaving a streak of blood.
…
…
"Eunuch Chang, there are flames and shouts of killing in the direction of Xuantian Temple in the city!"
The night is deep, and the moonlight sprinkles like water in the silent courtyard.
Eunuch Chang had just laid down and was about to fall asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
He sat up suddenly from the bed, almost falling off, and felt a surge of fear in his heart.
"What's going on? It's the middle of the night, why is it so noisy!"
Eunuch Chang frowned, put on his coat, and walked quickly to the window.
In the distance, flames shot up into the sky from the direction of Xuantian Temple, and shouts of killing could be heard faintly, as if thousands of troops were fighting.
Eunuch Chang's heart tightened, and his face turned pale in an instant:
"What's going on? Is there a mutiny in the army?!"
"Go check! What happened?"
The subordinate left in a hurry and came back to report soon:
"Eunuch, it seems that the soldiers from the Xuanwu Camp are leading people to encircle and attack the Xuantian Temple!"
"What?!" Eunuch Chang was stunned, and then flew into a rage.
"Xuanwu Camp? On what basis did they encircle and destroy Xuantian Temple? Where is Commander Li? Ask him to come and see me!"
The subordinate bowed his head and replied:
"Commander Li is not in the city, and the other deputy commanders are not here either. The leader... seems to be Xia He."
"Xia He?!" Eunuch Chang's eyes widened, his face livid.
"He is just a small general. He dared to lead troops to encircle and suppress Xuantian Temple without the imperial order! Who gave him the courage?!"
Eunuch Chang was so angry that he was shaking all over. A few days ago, he went to the Xuantian Temple in person to worship Buddha and had a very pleasant conversation with the abbot. He didn't expect that the Xuantian Temple would be surrounded by people in just one night!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately slammed the table and stood up:
"Someone, come! Prepare the car! We are going to question Xia He in person to see what he wants to do!"
"Where's Li Wu? Has Li Wu come?"
At this moment, Li Wu hurried over with a look of surprise on his face:
"Eunuch, what happened? I heard that Xuantian Temple..."
"How dare you ask!" Eunuch Chang was furious and pointed at Li Wu's nose and cursed.
