Chapter 12: Siege
Dayan Imperial City!
Eight hundred years after the founding of Dayan, it has long become the political, economic and cultural core of the entire Yan country. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info there is an endless stream of traders coming and going from the south to the north, standing on the top of the imperial city and looking down, you can see a quiet and peaceful prosperous scene. Xie Yan stood at the top of the 'Xuanming Tower', the first pagoda of the Jingshi, looking down at the crowd below, only to feel that the hustle and bustle of the crowd below was extremely far away from him. One step out, there is no turning back, from the moment he condenses the true element, his life is already different from those below.
He took off his hat and revealed the slightly pale face underneath.
"The last time I was here, it was four years ago."
Xie Yan was stunned.
He was born in the Hou Mansion, but he didn't really stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time, compared to the Jingshi where the Blood Swordsman lived, he was more familiar with it, and every time he came here, he would recall the process of apprenticeship back then. Ten years of bitter cold, practice a skill. If it weren't for this kung fu, he would have been caught by those famous people in Jingshi, and now he would end up like the group of people he rescued before, imprisoned, unable to live or die.
This Xuanming Tower was the place where he practiced light skills back then, and at that time, the blood swordsman taught him the basic methods of light power operation, and then he was still down from the top of the tower.
A cruel method of cultivation, just like an eagle.
There were several times when Xie Yan was almost killed by the fall, but fortunately, he persevered and practiced a supreme light skill.
"I just don't know if Shizun is still here."
Xie Yan retracted his thoughts, put on the hat again, and jumped slightly, and the whole person was like a feather, sweeping towards the borrowing point in the distance......
......
Busy streets.
Xie Yan, who was dressed in a black robe, walked inconspicuously among them, and many people in similar costumes to him on the street, and even some people directly covered their faces with Peking Opera masks. For these people, the merchants of Jingshi are not strange, this kind of people are generally begging for a living in the dark, there are tomb robbers, assassinations, and shadows of major institutions, in short, there are thousands of strange things, everything.
"Ten taels of silver, not a penny more."
"Ten taels? No, no, it's too little to sell, my mother-in-law will beat me. ”
An honest old farmer set up a stall on the side of the street, and there were many people in front of him.
Xie Yan glanced at it casually, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"True Yuan Force?"
In the Buddha statue held by the young man who was bargaining, there was a faint fluctuation of the true yuan. Prior to this, when Xie Yan was the prince of the Hou Mansion, he collected a lot of such things, and he was able to successfully find the clues of cultivating immortals and condense the true yuan power, which played a great role.
Thinking of this, Xie Yan subconsciously leaned over.
"Just this tattered handiwork, are you embarrassed to shout a thousand taels?" The skinny young man shouted.
The honest old farmer may also feel that his asking price is a little outrageous, but he blushes his neck and doesn't say a word for a long time.
"Thirteen taels at most." The skinny young man haggled fiercely.
1,000 taels to 13 taels, it can be seen that this thin young man often does this kind of thing, and it is also the best bully for people like honest old farmers.
"Show me something, and if it's suitable, I'll give you a thousand taels."
Xie Yan said in a low voice.
"Brother, you're a little out of line."
The thin young man looked at Xie Yan with an unkind face.
Xie Yan didn't care, just paid attention to the honest old farmer opposite.
"Medium, medium! This son, in fact, doesn't want a thousand taels, eight hundred taels will do. The honest old farmer nodded again and again.
Xie Yan's eyes flickered, and he reached out to grasp the wood-carved Buddha statue.
Suddenly, there was a sudden darkness in front of me.
Shout!!
At the moment when Xie Yan's hand was about to touch the Buddha statue, the inconspicuous thin young man suddenly burst out, and a dagger with a flickering cold light struck Xie Yan's vital point.
Dagger!
One inch short and one inch risk.
This skinny young man was clearly not a trader, but a well-hidden killer.
Sen Han's breath was about to touch Xie Yan's throat, and a hint of triumph flashed in the thin young man's eyes. And Xie Yan made an unexpected move at this moment, he directly ignored the young man's attack, grabbed the Buddha statue with one hand, and snatched this thing over.
Bite!
The dagger touched his throat, but instead of the imaginary image of blood bursting out, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing.
"The Five Laws of the Golden Body? This is impossible, even Master Wu has not practiced to this point! ”
The skinny young man roared backwards, his left arm hanging to the side, apparently knocked out by the force of the shock.
"People from the court?"
Xie Yan accepted the Buddha statue with his backhand, glanced at the thin young man who was shocked back by him, and prepared to leave.
In the capital area, once it is surrounded, it is difficult to get out.
Xi Yuyu!
A splendid carriage appeared at the end of the street, and the stalled horses continued to spew white gas, apparently galloping all the way.
Xie Yan's eyelids jumped twice, and he leaned forward violently and slapped the carriage behind him.
Rumble!!
The whole car exploded in an instant, and the originally noisy street instantly quieted down, and the cold murderous aura converged on the long street.
"The traitor Xie Yan, brutally killed the court offerings, looted the prisoner car, and privately released more than 20 court felons, the crime is extremely heinous, according to the law of Dayan, Ling Chi should be executed!" The vendor who was honest before has now become a hideous-looking court eagle dog.
Looking around, Xie Yan found that the way he came had long been cut off, not only that, but all the retreats around him had been cut off, and the sound of close footsteps came from far and near, blocking all Xie Yan's retreats.
"I didn't expect the Dayan Imperial Court to move so quickly, but I was negligent."
Xie Yan frowned.
"Violating the law should be punished!" The honest old farmer grabbed the hoe beside him, and with one hand, a long sword as thin as a silk thread came out of the handle.
"Huh!"
Xie Yan chuckled, the so-called order law is just an excuse for the strong to oppress the weak, otherwise, why didn't he see the imperial court arrest his other two brothers? Obviously, in the eyes of the imperial court, he is the soft persimmon among the three, and he is the most suitable to use to set an example for killing chickens and monkeys.
Turning sideways slightly, after flashing this sword, Xie Yan flew down dozens of meters at his feet.
Before he landed, dozens of cold lights struck, these knife techniques were fast, ruthless, and accurate, and every attack was Xie Yan's key point.
Ding Ding Ding!
The blade slashed at Xie Yan's body, not hurting him at all, but arousing his ferocity!
"Death to the traitor!"
"Noise!"
A trace of blood flashed in Xie Yan's eyes, his body arched, and the whole person flew out like a sharp arrow. The golden fist smashed out of the air, and the powerful True Yuan Force turned into an invisible air flow in the air, and the bodies of the three people closest to him instantly exploded, staining the sky with blood!
After killing the three people, Xie Yan's hands were no longer spared, and his body speed exploded to the limit, and the arresters who rounded up Xie Yan were almost dead in an instant, including the thin young man who sneaked up on him before and the old farmer who looked honest.
"Cast the arrows, cast the net!"
It's just a short moment. More and more people gathered, and all exits were completely blocked.
And at this time, there were spell fluctuations in the carriage that had been shattered by Xie Yan before, and Xie Yan no longer stayed when he saw this scene.
I saw him bend down and press one hand on the ground.
The true yuan force in the body instantly ran on the arm, and a wisp of powerful aura spread out, only to hear a 'click', the bluestone floor exploded directly, and the central street was deeply dented under the force of this palm, and Xie Yan flew up like a bird with this force. With the help of the air flow in the air, Xie Yan once again used his True Yuan Force, stepped on the nearest eaves, and the whole person disappeared into the sky like a goshawk.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and let him run! ”
Dense arrows streaked across the sky, but none of them could catch up with Xie Yan's speed, and after a few ups and downs, his shadow was no longer visible.
"Is this still a light effort?"
"Light work? No way. ”
The two people who got out of the carriage, these two people were dressed in long robes and had cold expressions, which were the offerings of the imperial court. Xie Yan didn't stay because he felt a slight True Yuan fluctuation from these two people. This kind of person is obvious
Like him, they have already entered the Qi Refining Realm, and if they are entangled, it will be a big trouble.
"It seems that this kid, like us, has already started, no wonder Lao Wu will be killed by him."
"What if you get started? Without the resources and the guidance of our ancestors, this life would be like this. ”
Both of them are worshippers of the imperial court, and they have been trapped in this realm for more than 20 years, without resources and exercises, there is no way to go further, which is also the main reason why they will give up the path of cultivating immortals and come to the world to do court offerings.

Tears rushed to ask for votes, Lao Wan's tears flowed in tears, and he was almost comforted by a few recommendation votes.
