PDLP Chapter 1227
Chapter 1227
This is the tradition of the Inspection Department!
No matter what kind of danger they encounter, those with the highest rank will always be at the forefront.
The commander was killed in battle, and the deputy commander took his place...
This is also a strict rule that Xu Shan set by example.
Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, and a life-or-death situation is imminent, one should not use one's own brothers to shield oneself from harm just to survive.
Therefore...
The few remaining guards of the Iron Blood Hall witnessed this scene that shattered their worldview.
Faced with these three 'ninth-grade sword energies', the commanders on the other side not only did not abandon their subordinates, but instead, they all stood at the forefront without hesitation.
Since they could tell the origin of this sword energy, they naturally knew its power.
Even so, they still bravely stepped forward.
This attitude alone was enough to outshine the Iron Blood Hall elder, who was all talk of benevolence and morality but was actually selfish and self-serving.
"How can a mortal body withstand our sect leader's 'Three Swords of Critical Strike'?"
"go to hell!"
The three elders of the Earthly Fiends, their faces contorted in a ferocious grimace, screamed hysterically when they saw three sword energies piercing towards Tian Xue, Li Yuanfang, and the others.
In their view, once the enemy's commander is killed...
Without a leader, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was nothing more than a disorganized mess.
They still have a chance to break through the encirclement!
Thinking of this, the three elders of the Earthly Fiends prepared to abandon the remaining guards and take this opportunity to break through the encirclement immediately.
But just as they made a move, and their sword energy was about to pierce Tian Xue and Li Yuanfang...
A deep, resonant sound, imbued with the essence of Dao, suddenly echoed within the vast Zhenfu Division headquarters.
"end!"
'Bang, bang, bang.'
With just this one word, the three 'critical sword energies' that no one could stop in the eyes of the Three Elders of Earthly Fiends exploded one after another in mid-air.
What terrified the three even more was that their bodies seemed to be frozen in place, completely unable to move.
It should be noted that although they were severely injured, the three of them still had some hidden strengths under their Qi control.
How could a grandmaster possibly restrain them from a distance?
Who is it?
Words were spoken and laws followed; with just one word, the master's insightful sword energy was broken.
They can be kept bound to this place, allowing them to "multitask" even more effectively.
'Snapped. '
Just as they were feeling shocked and terrified, the sound of light footsteps on the high wall of the camp caught their attention.
Unable to move their necks, they could only raise their eyebrows and eyes, glancing over subconsciously.
Suddenly, a crimson figure came into their view.
'Shuh! '
In that instant, all the Imperial Guards present, led by Tian Xue and Li Yuanfang, clasped their hands in salute and said, "Your subordinates pay their respects to Lord Xu."
'boom! ’
Upon hearing this, the three elders of the Earthly Fiends and the few remaining guards of the Iron Blood Hall all felt their heads buzzing.
Lord Xu?
Xu the Butcher?
Xu Bantian?
Xu Shan, the Divine Strategist who could traverse ten steps and ten waves and command the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty at the age of twenty.
When did he come to Wucheng?
Wasn't he dealing with the rebellion of the Jiangnan navy and purging the remaining rebels in Jiangnan Prefecture?
It is said that this matter also involves Wudi City.
He shouldn't be here under normal circumstances.
As the three local evil spirits were filled with a million questions, Xu Shan, who had come down from the high wall, waved for Tian Xue and the others to get up, and then walked up to the three of them.
"One sword transforms into three energies?"
"Three Critical Strike Swords?"
"Yuan Qingshan claims to be only a ninth-rank cultivator. But judging from the power of this sword energy, he must be at least a ninth-rank master at the Great Perfection stage, right?"
Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, the eldest of the three Earthly Fiends tried to remain calm and said, "If my sect leader were to personally unleash these three sword energies, they would be able to fight against a pseudo-saint."
"Master Xu..."
"Tonight, the Iron Blood Hall was unaware that you were personally overseeing the situation in Wucheng. Therefore, they overestimated their own strength and made a move."
"We hope that Lord Xu will be magnanimous and spare us."
"Afterwards, the Iron-Blooded Hall Master, Old Sword God Yuan, will surely reward you handsomely."
"Haha."
When Xu Shan heard the other party use the usual underworld tactics, mentioning their gang and background, trying to gloss over the matter lightly, he couldn't help but let out a piercing laugh!
"So, according to you, just because the Duke isn't here, you can kill the Emperor's personal guards?"
"I……"
Meeting Xu Shan's mocking gaze, the third of the Three Elders of the Earthly Fiends, who had been hesitant to speak, immediately shouted, "Lord Xu, you don't want to offend our sect leader because of this, do you?"
'Snapped. '
No sooner had the other person finished speaking than Xu Shan, who had been facing away from them, slapped them across the face.
In an instant, his entire head rotated 360 degrees, twisting around his neck a full circle.
There were no piercing screams.
Because at this moment, his head was so horrifyingly about to detach from his body.
"Third brother, you, you..."
"Yuan Fang!"
"arrive."
"Since they are all elders of the Iron Blood Hall, they should be very clear about the internal plans and arrangements."
"Before dawn, I need to know the distribution of all the Iron Blood Hall's intelligence networks and agents in the north and even the Ming Dynasty."
At this point, Xu Shan added, "Whether they live or die, I only care about the result."
"Yes!"
"Please rest assured, sir. Brothers, we will make them suffer the cruel tortures of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
'Pfft. '
"Ow."
As he said this, Li Yuanfang stabbed the other two members of the Three Earthly Fiends in the dantian with his knife.
This meant that their screams echoed throughout the entire camp.
"Xu, Xu Shan, you should think this through."
"Master Yuan, he will not let you go. The tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city will not either..."
Hearing this, Xu Shan, who had his back to them, stopped and said, "This Lord, who can even kill Wang Xianzhi, why would he care about one of his defeated opponents—Yuan Qingshan?"
'Sizzle!'
When the three local evil spirits and the Iron Blood Hall guards present heard Xu Shan's words, they not only stopped shouting, but also subconsciously gasped.
Wang Xianzhi, the second-best martial artist in the world, is dead?
Was he killed by Xu Shan?
Before they could even recover from their shock, Xu Shan's next arrangement instantly plunged them into despair.
"Heavenly blood!"
"exist."
"The three teams led by Ye Lin have poisoned the water and food supplies of the three garrisons outside the city."
"When the drug takes effect, you will lead the people of the Dark Moon Pavilion to cooperate with them in carrying out the [decapitation operation]."
"Before the elite troops from the Central Plains and the assault battalion of the Jiujiang Navy arrive here, I will ensure that not one in ten of the generals of the three garrisons survives!"
"Yes!"
After agreeing to this, Tianxue's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
From Xu Shan's words and the encirclement by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the remnants of the Iron Blood Hall present could sense that the other party had long been aware of the Cui family's every move.
They even made targeted deployments.
Jiujiang Navy?
The Tiger Warriors of the Central Plains?
These elite troops of the imperial court arrived here with only one purpose...
That means destroying the Cui family of Qinghe!
