Chapter 153: True as Eight Tribulations
readx;?ā When", Sun Yueling got up his real strength, took advantage of the momentum to push back, and slapped Niu Shiye's right arm with a palm, turning the knife that slashed at him into a slash at the other assassins, and then bowed down and retreated, and slammed his back into the two assassins who tried to sneak attack from behind, and flew straight into the two of them.

At the same time, Sun Yueling's heart was racing, and he was inexplicably surprised.
Unexpectedly, the target of this group of White Lotus Sect assassins this time was not Lord Governor, but himself. Because of his advice, all the yamen in Chengdu City have strengthened their vigilance, and the governor's yamen has patrol officials on duty in turn, but what is so close is that he forgot about himself, and did not send the catchers from the yamen to guard the post house, but gave the assassins an opportunity.
He really didn't expect that the target of the assassins' assassination was not the sitting lord in the yamen, but he, the patrol of the imperial history who came from afar, and he didn't expect that this group of assassins had already lurked in the post house and wanted to kill him in one fell swoop.
Due to the outnumbered enemies, under the entanglement, Sun Yueling's strength gradually declined, and he could no longer maintain a close match, if the situation continued like this, he would have to be killed by these people on the spot.
With a "snort", due to the inability to parry, his left waist was taken advantage of by Niu Shiye, and a long bloody mouth was pulled out, and blood overflowed.
Sun Yueling endured the pain, shouted, and slammed his fist on Niu Shiye's right shoulder with all his strength, shaking him back, and then pulled up, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to escape from the siege.
The martial arts swordsman behind him snorted coldly and said, "If you want to escape, it's not that easy. The sword in his hand fluttered and stabbed him in the back.
Sun Yueling had already taken precautions, and violently urged Ziwei Doujue's fourth heart method Taiyi, gathering a new vitality from among the hundreds of limbs, and slapped his backhand on the man's sword body.
With a "bang", the man's sword changed direction and shot to the side, stabbing between the chest and abdomen of another assassin, killing him instantly.
Sun Yueling was happy in his heart, although he had already spent a lot of real energy, but this time seemed to be an opportunity, as long as he grasped it properly, no one would be able to stop him again.
Just as he was plundering wildly, suddenly the swordsman behind him came out with both palms and slammed into the air towards him.
"Bang bang bang", around his figure, it seemed to explode one after another surging aura, like one wall of qi after another, blocking him in this narrow space.
The strength of his strength forced him to fight against the remnants of his luck, and he fell out of mid-air and returned to the encirclement.
This kind of martial arts strength is extremely special, and it seems to be similar, and Sun Yueling was shocked in his heart.
"It's really like eight tribulations?" He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
This is clearly the unique skill performed by Xu Hongru, the master of the Smelling Fragrance Society, in the Beijing Division that day, how can a demon of the Sichuan White Lotus Sect also use this kind of kung fu? Moreover, the swordsman's voice just now was clearly a Jiangnan accent, and he knew it as soon as he heard it, and it seemed that he had heard it somewhere, and he was very familiar with it.
But at this moment, he didn't allow him to think too much, and countless long knives and sharp swords slashed at him in all directions again.
Sun Yueling was already exhausted at this time, and the true strength in his body had already been lost by more than half, and it was difficult to hold it for a long time.
"Snort" sounded, and several bloody wounds were drawn up and down his body, and blood splattered.
Is he going to die here?
Sun Yueling gasped rapidly, using all his strength to deal with the crisis in front of him, now he had completely reduced to a situation of passive beating, and even the tricks of those ordinary assassins made him feel overwhelmed.
At this critical juncture, suddenly a shout came from behind, and a person shouted: "Who dares to hurt my family?" Two figures leaped into the arena and slew at the assassins who were besieging Sun Yueling.
Sun Yueling was overjoyed when he heard this, this was clearly the voice of Zhang Pengyong, who was transferred from the Criminal Department to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and went to Sichuan with him. It seems that the sound of the fight here alarmed him and Yi Fei, and the two finally rushed to help.
It was Zhang Pengyong and Yi Fei who came from behind, the two had already washed up, and were about to go to bed to rest, when they suddenly heard the sound of fighting and blades from the north, which was where Sun Yueling lived.
Since the two of them had been killed from behind, Sun Yueling suddenly felt a great reduction in pressure, and took this opportunity to grab an assassin's long sword, take advantage of the situation to finish him off with a sword, and then straighten his sword and go straight to Niu Shiye.
With Zhang Pengyong and Yi Fei joining the battle group, these assassins of the White Lotus Sect could no longer form an encirclement of Sun Yueling, and the two sides instead formed a confrontation situation, and it was difficult to separate the killing in front of the attic.
Niu Shiye saw that someone came to help in the battle, and knew that something was wrong, the sound of fighting here had alarmed the entire post house, and some post guards also rushed to help the governor yamen with weapons not far from here, those patrol arresters may be on the way to come, and if they continue to fight like this, maybe they will die here.
Even if he was very reluctant, he had only one way to retreat. Niu Shiye suppressed the fury in his heart, slashed Sun Yueling back with a knife, and shouted: "The wind is tight, pull and breathe." "Ordered the Assassins to retreat.
As soon as he said this, those White Lotus Sect assassins hurriedly tightened their formations, fighting and retreating, all heading towards the northern courtyard wall.
Yi Fei shouted: "If you want to run, it's not that easy." The sword chased after him, and in an instant he stabbed another assassin.
When Sun Yueling saw the assassin fleeing, he hurriedly shouted, "Yi Fei, catch the mouth alive." "Catch up with him.
But these assassins advanced and retreated quickly, calmly and orderly, obviously they were all members of the White Lotus Sect with good martial arts, and there were also Niu Shiye and the strong swordsman who broke off, so the three of them couldn't help them, they could only watch them climb over the north courtyard wall one by one, and they fled without a trace in an instant.
"My lord, do you want to chase it?" Zhang Pengyong asked in a deep voice.
Sun Yueling waved his hand and said, "No need, you go and see if any of the injured thieves are still alive." ā
There are only three of them on their side, and he himself has suffered a lot of injuries, even if he chases them, I'm afraid he won't be able to take advantage of them, and he may not be able to catch them, so it's better to catch those injured thieves and see if he can force some valuable clues.
"Yes, sir." Zhang Pengyong turned around and walked towards the assassins who had fallen to the ground and could not escape.
In the hall of the front yard of the post house, Sun Yueling, who was covered with gold sore medicine and gauze, sat on a sandalwood chair and briefly told the governor Zhu Xieyuan about the assassination of the White Lotus Sect demon.
Zhu Xieyuan looked at Sun Yueling, who was pale, and sighed: "Sun Xun is frightened!" This government never expected that the target of these demons' assassination was actually you, and if you knew this, you should have sent more people to guard around the inn. After a pause, he continued, "Fortunately, Sun Xun's martial arts are extraordinary, otherwise, this official really doesn't know how to explain to Lord Shoufu." ā
After Zhu Xieyuan heard the news of Sun Yueling's assassination, he hurriedly came with a large group of people, although he was a step late, but seeing that Sun Yueling was still "alive", he also breathed a long sigh of relief, if something happened to the patrol appointed by the imperial court on his ground, he would not be able to get rid of this involvement, even if he would not be taken from his post, at least he would be severely held accountable.
Sun Yueling said: "Lord Governor doesn't have to blame himself, the lower officials never thought that those demons would actually cut me, this is really unpredictable."
Zhu Xieyuan asked, "Have you ever caught the demon who performed the assassination?" ā
Sun Yueling shook his head and sighed: "Originally, I grabbed a live mouth, but this demon actually swallowed the poison pill hidden in his mouth and is already dead." ā
Zhu Xieyuan frowned and said, "Committed suicide by taking poison?" These demons are so lonely that they would rather die than fall into the hands of the government? ā
Sun Yueling took a heavy breath and said, "The demon who assassinated me reported his name and said that he was the protector of the White Lotus Sect, Niu Shiye, this person has strong martial arts and strong sword skills, I didn't expect that there was such a master in the White Lotus Sect." ā
Zou Ruoyu, who had been listening carefully on the side, interjected and said: "This Niu Shiye is indeed the protector of the White Lotus Sect, and he is good at using a thick oolong knife, which is one of Xu Chengming's left arm and right arm, but although this person's knife skills are powerful, his temperament is unruly and brutal, cruel and violent. ā
Seeing that Zhu Xieyuan and Sun Yueling were looking at him, he motioned for him to continue, and said, "Xu Chengming also has a henchman named Hu Bo, this Hu Bo is not a local, but a scholar he made in Yingtian when he used to study in the world. ā
"How is this Hu Bo martial arts?" Sun Yueling thought of another master of the sword, and hurriedly asked.
Zou Ruoyu said: "According to our secret agent, this Hu Bo doesn't have any martial arts, just a pure scholar, and although this person is wise, he is another sword master who is very good at assassinating adults, so it must not be him." Zou Ruoyu was one step ahead of Zhu Xieyuan, and he had already understood all the circumstances, so he said so.
Sun Yueling frowned and said: "This sword-wielding person, when I was trying to escape the encirclement, actually used the true eight tribulations of Xu Hongru, the leader of the Shandong Fragrance Smelling Society, to force me down, is this Sichuan White Lotus Sect, can someone also use this kung fu?" ā
Zou Ruoyu was also at a loss when he heard this, and said, "I haven't heard of it, among the masters in the White Lotus Sect, I have never heard of anyone who can use this kung fu?" ā
Sun Yueling was also very puzzled, Xu Hongru had already been punished by the imperial court, so naturally it was impossible to appear here, besides, what this assassin made was really like eight tribulations, and his strength was far inferior to Xu Hongru, could it be Xu Hongru's apprentice? However, I had never heard of Xu Hongru accepting apprentices, and even if he was his apprentice, how could he appear in Sichuan to carry out assassination?
The most terrible thing is, since this assassin is not Hu Bo, then who is he? Why was his voice so familiar, and where did he seem to hear it? He racked his brain, but he couldn't remember whose voice it was.
