The other masked man who came with Lu Yifan was Lan Chen. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Zheng Xiang took the opportunity to escape from Lan Chen's sword, the unwilling Lan Chen chased him all the way from Yingyue Garden with Zheng Xiang's traces. Under the drizzle of the night, Zheng Xiang, who knew the layout of the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Mansion well, actually took Lan Chen, who was chasing after him, in a circle, and it had been going around for nearly half an hour, I don't know if Zheng Xiang was intentional or unintentional, every time when Lan Chen was about to lose it, Zheng Xiang would expose his figure to Lan Chen's sight, making Lan Chen catch up again.
The two of them fled and chased each other in this way, and chased them all the way from Yingyue Garden to a side courtyard of the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Mansion. And when he got there, Zheng Xiang surprisingly no longer continued to escape, but stopped and stood in the courtyard and waited.
"Bang!"
A moment later, with a loud bang, the two wooden doors of the side courtyard were suddenly kicked open, and then he saw Lan Chen's figure flash in directly like a ghost, and when he saw Zheng Xiang in the courtyard sneering and staring at him, a sense of foreboding also quietly appeared in his heart.
Lan Chen didn't rush to make a move on Zheng Xiang, but looked around cautiously, although the surroundings were still as silent as a drizzle, but Lan Chen's intuition told him that the murderous aura here was very heavy.
"I'm tired if you've been chasing for so long!" Zheng Xiang held the steel knife in his hand, looked at Lan Chen who was looking left and right with a cruel smile, and suddenly said, "It's not bad to use this place as your burial place, right? I specially chose it for you!" As he spoke, Zheng Xiang also waved his knife and pointed around casually, as if he was showing off the chic of this side courtyard to Lan Chen.
"Let your people get out!" Lan Chen's voice was cold to the bone, but there was no fear of it, "Didn't you take me around the border guard mansion in such a big circle just to gather people to set up an ambush here? Since I dare to follow, I am not afraid of you playing tricks!"
"Courage is commendable!" Zheng Xiang nodded appreciatively, and then suddenly grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, "It's just that my brain doesn't seem to be very good! If I am not completely sure, how can I deliberately lead you here? Everyone, the distinguished guest has arrived, and he didn't show up quickly!"
With Zheng Xiang's sneer, I saw that hundreds of southern border guards with swords and swords came out one after another from the wings around the side courtyard, and behind this group of southern border guards, there were actually six banner masters who followed out gracefully.
"Seven of the Ten Banner Masters of the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion are here tonight, and your face is not small!" Zheng Xiang sneered at Lan Chen, "Now if you are willing to confess honestly, maybe I can keep you a whole corpse!"
"A group of rats, if you want to ask, catch me first!
Before the words fell, Lan Chen had already made a sudden move, only to see him take a sword straight to the heart of Zheng Xiang opposite, but Zheng Xiang didn't want to fight with Lan Chen, I saw him sneer and quickly take two steps back, while the hundreds of southern border guards around him roared like hungry wolves and swung their knives towards Lan Chen
"Poof!"
With the sound of a few blades breaking through his body, Lan Chen used his dexterous body skills to the extreme in the narrow courtyard, only to see him quickly wandering among the hundreds of southern border guards like a dragon, and the sharp swords in his hands everywhere he passed all turned up a burst of blood mist, and the surrounding southern border guards also wailed and fell to the ground in response. For today's Lan Chen, these mediocre southern border guards are really not worth it, so when he turned all the way from the gate of the courtyard to the depths of the courtyard, there were already twenty or thirty southern border guards who fell all the way, but Lan Chen himself did not even hurt a single hair.
"Zheng Xiang, it seems that this person does have some means, it doesn't seem like you can let our brothers die for nothing like this, right?" A banner master who was standing in the corner watching the battle couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, and then asked Zheng Xiang angrily, "Aren't you going to make a move on the people you brought?"
"Who said that!" Zheng Xiang sneered, "I just want to see how capable this person is, but I'm afraid that I'm going to be hard to beat him, so please help me!"
"Don't worry, Lord Zheng, we have been on an errand in the Border Guard Mansion for many years, and this little thing is naturally obligatory!" The other flag lord looked at Lan Chen, who was killing in the crowd with a bloodthirsty face, and the Pu knife in his hand was already trembling uncontrollably.
"Let's go together!"
Zheng Xiang suddenly laughed a few times when he heard this, and at the same time, his whole person had already risen into the air, and his body jumped directly over many southern border guards, jumping into the battle in an instant, and with Zheng Xiang's strong entry, the other six flag masters also joined the battle group, and the surrounding southern border guards saw this and dodged around, leaving an open space for the melee of the eight of them in the narrow courtyard.
"Bang bang bang!"
Zheng Xiang himself is a Three-Turn Soul King, while the cultivation of the other six banner masters is all in the realm of *Soul Transformation, and the momentum of the seven people joining forces is quite good, and they actually forced Lan Chen, who had just stabilized in the realm of the Four-Turn Soul King, to retreat. With the sound of swords colliding, the seven people were extremely familiar with each other, and in the blink of an eye, the water around Lan Chen was impassable, and Lan Chen, who had no way to retreat and could not avoid it, could only face the siege of the seven people hard, at this moment, his six roads and eight directions were full of dangerous killing moves, and it was difficult for Lan Chen to resist them all with three heads and six arms.
Caught off guard again and again, Lan Chen's heart suddenly rose with a sense of anger, and his belief was that it was better not to be able to guard against it. So he simply gave up those inconsequential defenses, and let the swords that came out from all directions hurt his body to blood, as long as it didn't hurt him, he ignored it completely, but concentrated on swinging the sword in his hand, and launched a fierce counterattack against Zheng Xiang step by step.
"There are so many people, you are only chasing me one to fight!" Zheng Xiang was forced to retreat again and again by Lan Chen's desperate counterattack, Lan Chen ignored the more and more wounds on his body, and gave up his life to meet Zheng Xiang, but Zheng Xiang did not have so much determination, let alone sacrifice his life to fight, even if it was a little skin injury, Zheng Xiang didn't want to have it at the moment, after all, they were seven to one, and he had the advantage, how could he be willing to fight as hard as Lan Chen? But because Lan Chen only stared at him alone, Zheng Xiang's pressure became more and more great, and he couldn't help scolding, "It's easy to bully Lao Tzu, isn't it? Everyone will give it to me, and one person and one knife will chop up this bastard who doesn't know whether to live or die!"
With Zheng Xiang's roar, I saw that a little under his feet actually soared into the air, and before Lan Chen could catch up again, the southern border guards and the other six banner masters who rushed up completely blocked his way.
I saw Zheng Xiang jump up a few feet above Lan Chen's head, and then he held the steel knife with both hands and quickly recited a few words in his mouth, the steel knife in his hand turned cyan in an instant, and with the Qingguang Dasheng blade, it became more and more powerful, and even the void was cut out of cracks between inadvertent swings.
"Haha...... I'm going to let you see my bone-eating knife today
With Zheng Xiang's wild laughter, the blades in his hands were frantically slashing downward, and for a while, countless illusory cyan blades fell down like a storm, so that Lan Chen, who was caught off guard, instantly had several huge wounds that were visible to the bones, and Lan Chen was fighting with the opponents around him, while dodging the blades falling from the sky, looking so embarrassed.
"Lock him up for me, I'm going to split him in the middle!"
Zheng Xiang, who had played with thousands of sword shadows, roared with a hideous face, and then his arms slashed down violently, and the cyan blade in the drizzle instantly flashed a huge halo in mid-air, mixed with a sharp and piercing roar, Zheng Xiang's condescending blow suddenly fell from the sky, directly taking Lan Chen's heavenly spirit cover. At the same time, the other six banner masters also surrounded from all sides when they saw this, and the blade and sword shadow flickered and locked Lan Chen's body firmly in it, and in an instant, one after another powerful soul power flew in the small courtyard, and wave after wave of energy ripples made the originally calm drizzle gradually become manic. The six flag masters cooperated with Zheng Xiang's fatal blow, imprisoning Lan Chen's upper, middle and lower three ways, coupled with the southern border guards who kept coming up around him, Lan Chen was forced to fall into a crisis of life and death.
Lan Chen raised his head suddenly, and at this moment, the cyan blade was only a few meters away from him, and he was able to slash himself alive in an instant. But instead of seeing the slightest fear or worry in his angry eyes, there was a sudden flash of determination.
"Whew!"
At this moment, Lan Chen's body trembled suddenly, and then he suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out an angry roar, and then saw that a yellow dragon suddenly appeared in the drizzly night sky, and the dragon shadow suddenly appeared lifelike, it seemed that even every piece of dragon scale on his body was shaking with the wind, and the dragon rose from the top of Lan Chen's head, constantly swinging its body and spiraling up in the air, and at the same time, a dragon chant that shook the sky and earth followed. The dragon stood so out that even the drizzle between heaven and earth was stagnant, and an incomparable immensity instantly enveloped the entire small courtyard.
With the appearance of the yellow dragon, Zheng Xiang's blade, which was originally swinging the knife in mid-air, slashed straight above the dragon's head, faintly emitting a sound of metal impact, and the cyan blade directly submerged into the dragon's head a few inches with the momentum of the towering building, but before Zheng Xiang could reinforce it, the yellow dragon raised its head suddenly, and the dragon's whiskers danced with the wind, and the dragon's mouth was wide open, and Zheng Xiang, who was frightened, suddenly erupted with a dragon groan that was enough to make the mountain collapse and the ground cracked, and Zheng Xiang was instantly removed from Zhenfei. And the surrounding southern border guards and the six banner masters who came up from all directions were also shocked out by this dragon chant for more than ten meters, and for a while, there was no one to be found in the ten meters radius around Lanchen.
The banner owners and southern border guards who were shaken out wailed and scattered in all directions, until their bodies hit the courtyard wall heavily and then they turned over and landed in embarrassment, and even small cracks were smashed out of the solid courtyard wall, which shows how fierce the dragon's roar is.
After landing on the ground, Zheng Xiang could only collapse in the corner of the wall and cough up blood with a weak face, the other six flag masters were still able to stagger and support each other to get up again, and those southern border guards who were shocked out were not so lucky, only to see that they were constantly bleeding out of their mouths and noses, covering their chests that had been shattered, lying on the ground and wailing weakly, swords scattered all over the ground, and the courtyard was in a mess.
"It turned out to be the Proud Void Dragon Technique!"
Just after Lan Chen did his best to resolve this crisis, a rather surprised voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and when Lan Chen turned around violently with his weak body, Zhu Wushou with a solemn face didn't know when he was already standing behind him.
As soon as he saw Zhu Wushou, Lan Chen hurriedly raised the sharp sword in his hand that was constantly dripping blood, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Zhu Wushou, and a trace of murderous intent emerged in his slightly trance-like eyes. It seems that Lan Chen is also at the end of his crossbow now, and he is just pretending to be strong with his spirit now.
"White Dragon, Green Dragon, Yellow Dragon, Golden Dragon, the four dragon shadows represent the four realms of the Proud Void Dragon Technique!" Zhu Wushou didn't seem to care that he was pointed at with a sword, and still whispered faintly, "I didn't expect you to have practiced to the Yellow Dragon Shadow, it seems that your relationship with the Lan family must be very close."
!”
Hearing this, Lan Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Zhu Wushou suspiciously, and the sword in his hand slowly put down, and asked in a cold voice, "How do you know so much about the Proud Void Dragon Technique?"
"Hehe, of course I know!" Zhu Wushou smiled proudly, "I think I wanted to ask Lan Shixun to borrow this volume of exercises back then, but he didn't lend it to me in the name of the family secret method." Although I haven't practiced it, I can tell at a glance that what you just performed is the Proud Void Dragon Technique. The Lan family has always regarded this technique as a secret that will not be passed on, and the skill you can perform so skillfully must be someone from the Lan family, right? But as far as I know, the Lan family was wiped out by the emperor's army in the Battle of Jinling because of the conspiracy to rebel, could it be that there are still fish that slipped through the net?"
"Nonsense!"
Lan Chen didn't seem to want to mention that sad past, so a flash of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he turned his hand and swung his sword towards Zhu Wushou, intending to strike first. It's a pity that he underestimated Zhu Wushou's cultivation and overestimated the condition of his body, so when his sword blade hadn't touched Zhu Wushou yet, Zhu Wushou had already shook him out with a wave of his big hand, and then before Lan Chen turned over again, Zhu Wushou suddenly appeared in front of him, and slashed at Lan Chen's neck with a lightning swing, Lan Chen only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body fainted as soon as he was weak.
"Governor, let me kill him......"
"Wait a minute!" Before Zheng Xiang finished his words indignantly, Zhu Wushou had already taken off the black scarf in front of Lan Chen, and when he saw Lan Chen's face clearly, Zhu Wushou's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "He's not that...... Is it a master who is following Lu Tian's side? How can he appear in the Border Guard Mansion?"
"I knew that Lu Tian's gang must not be good birds!" Zheng Xiang endured his injuries and walked to Zhu Wushou's side, glanced at Lan Chen, and said with a disdainful expression, "Now that everyone has stolen goods, why don't you let me take someone to the post station now to arrest them all!"
"No!" Regarding Zheng Xiang's proposal, Zhu Wushou shook his head resolutely, and then he changed his words and asked in a low voice, "...... Lu Yifan's side?"
"It's just that he ruined the good thing!" Zheng Xiang said and glared at the unconscious Lan Chen viciously, "Otherwise, ......"
"That means it's a failure!" Without waiting for Zheng Xiang to finish speaking, Zhu Wushou said in a straightforward and deep voice, "I knew that it was not so easy to deal with the Soul Sect, but Lu Yifan found out that you didn't?"
"Should ......" was asked by Zhu Wushou, Zheng Xiang was suddenly unsure, after all, he fled in a hurry just now, and he didn't have time to observe whether Han Ling'er and the others noticed it, "It shouldn't be ......?"
"Hmph! This kind of thing would rather be credible than not, it seems that we have to make a plan in advance!" Zhu Wushou said as he gently stroked his mustache with his hand, his eyes dripping and rolling in his sockets, obviously thinking about something, "If Lu Yifan really investigates, we still have to come up with a reasonable explanation......" Zhu Wushou said that Yu Guang inadvertently glanced at Lan Chen, who was lying on the ground, and his eyes suddenly flashed.
"Governor, what are we going to do?"
"This person will stay and not kill first, and don't alarm the post station first, so as not to startle the snake!" Zhu Wushou didn't laugh angrily at the moment, he looked at Lan Chen meaningfully, and sneered faintly, "If it's as I expected, Lu Tian and his gang should be here for the treasure, so it's okay, Lu Tian's people are making such a fuss tonight, but it gives Pontus a seamless excuse!"
"What do you mean by Du Du......" Zheng Xiang hurriedly asked in confusion.
"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, sit and reap the fisherman's profits!"
