"Zhng zhng zhng!" Pei Zi Yun managed to block three strikes. The old Daoist laughed out loud, "I was almost fooled by you. With your martial arts, how could I do this?"
"You must have used some sort of technique to break free. But the Imperial Qi can suppress all Dao arts. Unless you have permission, you can't escape. Die!"
The two of them exchanged several blows. Even the middle aged Daoist could see that Pei Zi Yun was being suppressed. He then said, "How do you know that my junior brother is staying here? Why do you only have a few soldiers in your house? These are all set up for you. Before long, eunuch's troops will be here. When that happens, you will die a horrible death."
"Die!" The two of them flashed as their swords clashed. Pei Zi Yun waved his hand, revealing an opening in his defense. The old Daoist did not hesitate and attacked.
Pei Zi Yun grunted as a wound appeared on his chest. It was a pity that the wound only penetrated his skin. The white haired Daoist retreated a few steps. His body was covered in wounds, but they were not deep.
At this point, the middle aged Daoist's left rib cage trembled, as though he had been struck by lightning. He looked down and saw a flying dagger piercing through his chest. He raised his hand in disbelief, "You used a hidden weapon."
"Damn it." The old Daoist was enraged as he charged towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun felt his entire body lighten, as the spell was no longer in control. Although he could not use his Dao arts, the restrictions on his body had lessened.
"The Imperial Qi determines the spell. Although the spell is controlled by the emperor, how can your Dao arts not be restricted as well?" Pei Zi Yun laughed, "Normal Daoists would be afraid. But I'm a sword cultivator, and have mastered the art of the sword. This is beneficial to me."
"You're too arrogant. If not for the fact that the Imperial Court has been guarding against us, we wouldn't have come to this." The old Daoist's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun's body flickered as his sword flashed.
"No!" The old Daoist fell backwards, a deep wound had been inflicted on his body. His face was pale, and the more he killed, the more fearful he became. Even if no one was controlling the spell, the spell would still weaken this man's sword arts by several times.
"Just what kind of fortuitous encounter did this person have when he was being chased? He was originally affected, but now it has been reduced by more than half. Could it be that he had some sort of fortuitous encounter in the mountains?" The Daoist was secretly anxious, "We've been killing for so long, why haven't the soldiers outside arrived yet?"
In order to kill Pei Zi Yun, the Daoist did not set up an ambush in the mansion. Instead, he set up an ambush in secret. If anything happened here, he would rush over immediately. Why wasn't he here yet?
At this point, footsteps could be heard from afar. The old Daoist was overjoyed, "Eunuch, the soldiers are here."
Pei Zi Yun laughed, "Since you're here, there's no need to keep you around!"
Hearing Pei Zi Yun's words, the old Daoist was taken aback. All he saw was a flash of sword light. With a slash and a flick, the old Daoist's right hand and sword fell to the ground.
"Please return to the underworld." Pei Zi Yun raised his sword and slashed it towards the Daoist's neck.
Seeing the sword light in front of him, the old Daoist was agitated. All the hairs on his body stood on end as he shouted, "I am an Elder of Profound Azure Sect. I'm also a member of the Imperial Court. If you kill me, you will receive retribution. You will not be able to coexist with the Elders of Profound Azure Sect. You cannot do this."
Pei Zi Yun placed his sword against the Daoist's neck, "Elder? You're not even an Earth Immortal. When you tried to kill me earlier, you didn't even consider the conflict between your sects. Now that I'm about to kill you, you're thinking about the conflict between your sects. "
"You can kill me, but I can't kill you. If your sect wants to take revenge, come at me. Do you think your sect will start a war just because of an Elder who defected to the Imperial Court?"
"No, you will regret this." The old Daoist shouted out. At this point, his sword sliced through the air, and his head flew into the air. Fresh blood spurted out from the wound. The headless body seemed to be unwilling to die, as it took several steps before it fell to the ground. A ray of light then flew towards the underworld.
Pei Zi Yun didn't stop it. He walked forward and picked up the weapon. He held it in his hands and laughed, "Initially, I couldn't kill all the people sent by King Lu. But you've given me the chance."
"With the memories of the original owner, Grand Ancestor, and Jing Ming Daoist's memories, it's not difficult to control this weapon."
"Ai, this weapon can even last for five minutes?"
"To me, that's more than enough."
At this point, the sound of armor clanking could be heard from the entrance of the mansion. Patrol Officers, constables, soldiers, and even archers had gathered. Including the thirty soldiers who supported Eunuch Ding, there were a total of three hundred people.
Eunuch Ding stepped forward and saw that everyone was solemnly awaiting his orders. He then ordered, "Surround the place. Archers, be on guard. Whoever dares to break through, kill them without mercy!"
Everyone bowed in unison, as their armor clanked, "Yes!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands, and a group of people stepped forward. With a loud "Boom", they kicked the door open and rushed in from both sides, "Get into formation, advance!"
"The culprit is in the courtyard."
Eunuch Ding was dressed in a sixth ranked official's robe, and his face was fair and clean. He was followed by several men in green robes and hats. Eunuch Ding looked around and saw a man in the middle.
This man was extremely young, and looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. Despite being surrounded by so many soldiers, he was still calm and composed. Eunuch Ding revealed a look of admiration, "So you're Top Scorer Pei. You're indeed magnanimous. No wonder you're able to ruin King Lu's plans so many times."
"However, this world belongs to the Imperial Family. You've offended King Lu. Even if you're a hero, you have to die. I didn't waste my efforts." Eunuch Ding laughed out loudly. As he spoke, more than ten people rushed out from the surrounding rooms. They had climbed up the walls, and the archers were standing by.
"Shoot him dead!" Eunuch Ding gave his orders, and didn't speak much. Seeing that the preparations were complete, he shouted out loudly. The archers immediately drew their bows and were about to shoot. At the same time, several soldiers and soldiers rushed in from outside the courtyard, surrounding Pei Zi Yun within the courtyard.
Pei Zi Yun shook his head and sighed, "Is that so? Quick! "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone within the courtyard felt their bodies tremble. It was as if a powerful force had locked them in place, and they couldn't move at all.
"It's Dao Arts, no." Eunuch Ding reacted immediately, and retrieved the command token from his robes. As long as he had the command token, he would be able to use Dao Arts to dispel the Dao Arts.
Seeing that only eunuch Ding and the Chief Patrol Officer could move, Pei Zi Yun's shadow flashed as he pounced forward.
"Don't you dare be presumptuous!" The Chief Patrol Officer had thick eyebrows, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He had an air of authority about him. With a shout, he unsheathed his sword and charged forward.
Pei Zi Yun did not slow down at all. As he passed by, he waved his sword, and blood rained down. The Chief Patrol Officer's head flew up into the air. Although he grunted in pain, he did not stop.
"Eunuch Ding, you've chased me for so long. Let me send you to hell. If you die in battle, King Lu might bestow upon you a title. There will be a place for you in the underworld."
Eunuch Ding's face was pale as he retrieved the command token, "Release …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a "pu" sound as the sword sliced across his throat. Eunuch Ding's face was dark as he looked on in disbelief. He clutched at his throat as if he wanted to speak. However, no words came out. He fell to the ground, as his entire body convulsed. Fresh blood flowed out from his wound.
Pei Zi Yun felt his blood boiling, as his face turned pale. Blood flowed out from his nose and mouth. Although nobody spoke, they were in an uproar.
"This man is rebelling, he killed Eunuch Ding."
Pei Zi Yun rushed in front of one of King Lu's soldiers. This soldier struggled with all his might, but a "pu" sound could be heard as Pei Zi Yun's sword mercilessly pierced through his heart. Pei Zi Yun then proceeded to the next soldier.
Within a minute, Pei Zi Yun had killed over thirty soldiers. Initially, there was a ruckus and anger. By the time Pei Zi Yun had killed more than ten soldiers, there was no one left. Corpses piled up like a mountain, and fresh blood permeated the air. Many people's faces were pale, and their legs were weak. Some even started to vomit.
After killing him, Pei Zi Yun threw a piece of paper onto Eunuch Ding's body. He then used a clean piece of cloth to wipe off the blood on his sword. He then walked out calmly and disappeared into the distance. His magical weapon crumbled into dust in an instant. The next moment, everyone who could not move started to panic.
One of them was considered valiant as he shouted, "Chase after him. He can't have run far!"
Although most of the people heard this shout, nobody responded. The cold killing intent he had displayed earlier had scared most of them off.
One of the constables had a pale face, and looked like he was a senior. He laughed bitterly, "Looks like we're all finished."
Another constable spoke out, "That's right. Eunuch Ding has died here. The best outcome for us would be thirty strokes of the rod, and then we'd be skinned alive."
The middle aged constable replied, "Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it!"
Just as they were in a daze, the door opened and a man walked in. This man was dressed in the uniform of an official. His face was pale as he walked in.
"Who are you?" The few constables' faces changed.
"An official from the Crown Prince's Palace!" The official had thick eyebrows and a cold look on his face. One look and you could tell that he was arrogant and courageous. He then walked up to check each and every one of them.
When he reached the corpse of Eunuch Ding, he picked up the piece of paper and opened it.
"Zhao's guest wears the tassel of a beard, Wu's hook is as bright as snow.
A silver saddle shines on a white horse, Like a shooting star.
Every ten steps he takes, Killing a man, Unstoppable for a thousand miles.
When he's done, he brushes his robes and disappears, Concealing his identity and name.
Leisurely passing Xin Ling drinking, Taking off his sword before his knees.
Three cups of wine and a promise is made, Five mountains are light.
After his eyes and ears are hot, His spirit is pure.
Even in death, His bones are fragrant, Not ashamed of being a hero.
Who can write a poem to you, White Hair Supreme Mystery Scripture. "
"Killing someone and leaving a poem behind, that's …" The official's face twitched uncontrollably. He was a soldier of the Imperial Army, and was clear of the power that eunuch Ding wielded. Hence, his mission was only to observe and record, and did not include helping Pei Zi Yun. He thought that Pei Zi Yun was dead for sure, and wanted to report back to his superiors.
Who would have thought that things would turn out this way. Even though they were enemies, they couldn't help but sympathize with him. The middle aged constable stepped forward and asked, "Your excellency, what should we do?"
"Don't ask me about this, I'm only here to record." Although the constable was smiling, the official replied coldly, "That's your problem."
After checking, he waved his hands and left, leaving a group of people looking at each other in dismay.
After some time, the middle aged constable sighed, "Report to the magistrate, report to the Governor. As for us, we can only resign ourselves to fate."
Some of them were gritting their teeth, some of them were frustrated, some of them were furious. However, their emotions had all cooled down, just like the snow. Nobody chased after Pei Zi Yun.
