The man who was pulled by Hua Ziyu gasped for a few breaths, and said intermittently: "Ahead...... It's a scuffle, and a lot of people are dead...... A lot of people. ”

Wang Xiaotian hurriedly asked, "Is it the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who died, or someone else?"

"Yes, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion will kill the common people when they see them. Those men also killed many of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Wang Xiaotian: "Who has the upper hand now?"

The man cried with a sad face, "I was scared when I saw the murderer, where did I have the heart to see who had the upper hand?"

Hua Ziyu let go of the man and motioned for him to go. The man left in a panic. The three of them immediately rushed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, the three of them saw that a large group of soldiers in front of the City Lord's Mansion were in a circle, and there was a fierce fighting sound from inside.

Wang Xiaotian jumped up directly and suspended in the air to observe. Hua Ziyu pulled Xia Xianlong and jumped into the air to observe.

In the circle surrounded by the soldiers, many corpses lay on the sidelines. Judging from the clothes, there were soldiers, guards of the city lord's mansion, and ordinary people.

There were forty or fifty people in the circle scuffling. On one side are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, and on the other side are the common people dressed up, it should be Uncle Durban.

A tall man in the prime of life, who looked to be in his thirties, stood on the steps of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion as if he stood out from the crowd. He wore a splendid brocade robe on the outside, a very luxurious brocade robe at first glance, a delicate battle armor inside, and a scimitar decorated with ivory, precious stones, and gold in his hand.

Wang Xiaotian judged that this person should be the city lord emir.

At this moment, the emir's face was like ice, looking at someone in the melee.

Following his line of sight, Wang Xiaotian looked over. Seeing that person, Wang Xiaotian's heart suddenly "chuckled".

That man was Uncle Durban. He looked very embarrassed now, his clothes were in tatters, he was panting, his body was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was the enemy's or his own.

His gray hair was already messy, his left arm was hanging weakly, blood flowed down his arm to his hand, and then from his hand to the ground, and the scimitar in his right hand was covered with notches and curly blades, not to mention killing, it was difficult to cut turnips.

He was also wounded in his left thigh, and although he was dressed with a piece of clothing and simply bandaged it, it didn't work at all. The blood still flowed unstoppably, not only staining the bandaged pieces of clothes red, but also dripping blood down the trouser tubes.

Four or five strong men guarded Durban to defend him against the attacks of the city lord's palace guards. He was given a little respite. It's just that these strong men are also wounded all over their bodies, but the guards around them continue unabated.

Uncle Durban gasped for two breaths and shouted loudly: "Brothers, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. The country has allowed us to enjoy the blessings of the country for decades, and now it is time for us to serve the country! Hermit, there is no regret in dying a hundred times!"

All the hermit members immediately shouted in unison: "Hermit, no regrets in death!"

Emir looked at Durban and said coldly: "I didn't expect that the person in charge of the hermit turned out to be a native of Dushante. It's really surprising. However, I have no relationship with your hermit organization, so why should you oppose me?"

Durban gasped and said, "We only know how to carry out the mission. As for the reason, never asked. ”

The emir clapped his hands, "The good one never asks." Calmly and generously to death. It's really impressive. Since you don't know, I'm going to tell you with great kindness, that even if you die, you will be a ghost. ”

Durban said disdainfully: "Whatever you have to say, it is nothing more than an attempt to shake our faith." You think too much, though. Hermits, either successfully carry out their mission, or die in the line of duty. Will never surrender for any reason. Whether you say it or not, it doesn't mean anything to us. ”

"Really?" said the emir with a faint smile, glancing at the other members of the hermit order. There are a few of them who are just young people who are still childish.

He pointed to the young men and said to Durban, "As the person in charge, you must know why. But they don't necessarily know. Look at them, they are still children, their lives have just begun, and they are about to end like this. What a pity. ”

"What's wrong with them? Don't you think it's cruel to let them die at a young age? They should have the right to know why, that you are going to take them on this road to death. ”

Durban snorted and did not speak.

Emir looked at the young men and said, "Actually, you, including him (Emir pointed to Durban), have been used as cannon fodder. You're doing something with me to get some people out of the city while they're in trouble. And those people are Canaanites who have nothing to do with you. ”

"Those Canaanites are trapped here only because there is a little conflict within the Canaanites. They are like wronged children who want to run away from home. In order to get out, they found your boss. Your superiors will not hesitate to sacrifice you for their own selfish interests and for their so-called merits. ”

"Huh. With a look of disdain, the emir continued: "Therefore, you did not sacrifice for what a great ideal, what a difficult task. You are just pawns, pawns that can be sacrificed at will. Don't you think it's sad and ridiculous?"

Several young people had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Durban said with a firm face: "I said it, the hermit never asks why. Only responsible for performing tasks. For the sake of the country, we are willing to be pawns. ”

The emir snorted and asked rhetorically, "Even if the person who gave this order was just a whim, or was he a fool at all?"

Before Durban could answer, Xia Xianlong immediately scolded: "You are a fool! Your whole family is a fool! A dog raised by a stinky bitch!"

The emir sneered, "Since you are here, why are you just watching from afar, scolding a few swear words, but you don't dare to come?"

The green tendons on Xia Xianlong's neck and forehead couldn't stop jumping violently, "I'm afraid that your grandmother is a bear! Lao Tzu will go and cut you." ”

Hua Ziyu originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to make another move, but now that Xia Xianlong has made this situation, it seems that he is really timid if he doesn't make a move. So, he directly threw Xia Xianlong at the emir, and at the same time shouted, "Take your life!"

Xia Xianlongren was still in the air, so he raised his sword and slashed with power. A sword light swept towards the emir.

The emir sneered, and suddenly took out the knife, and a cold light flashed, and the sword light that Xia Xianlong practiced was suddenly cut in two. His figure, like a kite with a broken string, flew upside down.

Hua Ziyu immediately flew over and reached out to hold Xia Xianlong's shoulder, but unexpectedly, he was repelled by a huge impact force and was three meters away before he could stabilize it.

The emir snorted proudly, "The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it can't do it!"

Xia Xianlong was furious, and immediately wanted to rush over and fight with the emir. Hua Ziyu pressed his shoulder and said, "You go and help them in Durban." This guy is handed over to me. ”

Xia Xianlong nodded and pounced directly on the guards besieging Durban.

Hua Ziyu walked in the air, came to two meters in front of the emir, and slowly fell, until the line of sight was equal to the emir. Then, looking at the emir, he held the hilt of the sword with both hands, the tip of the knife pointing downwards and the blade facing inward, and raised it to the emir.

This is the etiquette between practitioners to invite exhibitions. Meaning: I want to fight you fairly, please appreciate your face.

The emir made the same move. This means that he agreed to Hua Ziyu's invitation to fight. After that, the battle between the two, no one else can interfere again.

After receiving Emir's affirmative response, Hua Ziyu flipped the sword, held the handle with both hands, the tip of the knife was obliquely upward, the blade was facing outward, and slowly raised it, locking on to Emir with her breath.

Emir suddenly felt a tremendous pressure. He knew that Hua Ziyu's strength was extraordinary. He immediately inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard, held the scabbard with his left hand on his left waist, and held the hilt with his right hand, leaning half-leaning and ready to attack.

His combat skills are derived from the "sword drawing technique" of the old era. The characteristic of this combat skill is that before the knife is released, the essence, qi and spirit of the sword wielder are adjusted to the best state through the secret method, and then at the moment of drawing the sword, all the battle intent, murderous energy and strength are released to achieve the maximum attack effect.

This kind of combat skill is similar to sword intent. The difference is that the pursuit of sword intent is natural, not ingenious. Whether or not he can comprehend the sword intent completely depends on the talent of the cultivator. If you don't have talent, it's useless to practice tens of thousands of times.

The "Knife Drawing Technique" has a fixed cultivation method, as long as you practice according to the requirements, no matter how high or low your talent is, you can practice it well.

However, "knife drawing" is easy to get started with, but difficult to master. The initial results are very fast, and the later they go, the slower the progress, and even no progress for years, more than ten years, or decades. Gradually, from the initial popularity, to now almost no one is proficient.

Hua Ziyu didn't expect that the "sword drawing technique" that had long disappeared in the Eastern Chu Kingdom was still circulating in Dushant City in the far Western Regions.

What makes him even more uneasy is that the "knife drawing technique" is ruthless and treacherous, as long as the knife is out of the sheath, the victory and defeat of the two sides have been divided, and even life and death are decided. He had never faced such an opponent before, and he really didn't know how to deal with it.

After being entangled for a moment, Hua Ziyu secretly thought, there is a saying in the cultivation world, "The world's combat skills are only fast and unbreakable." "No matter how cruel and treacherous his "knife drawing technique" is, as long as my knife hits him first, he will definitely die first!

So he laid his heart on the top of the emir's head and struck it like lightning.

The emir snorted disdainfully, and with a "cang" scimitar was quickly drawn, and a bolt of lightning slashed straight at Hua Ziyu's neck.

When Hua Ziyu saw the lightning, he secretly screamed that it was not good! The speed of the lightning far exceeded his estimate! His own knife could not cut the top of Emir's head at all, and the opponent's scimitar would cut his throat.

He hurriedly exerted all his strength and leaned his body to the left, while the sword in his hand changed from a split to a vertical position on his chest, blocking the emir's scimitar.

His moves, though quick, were a little slower than the emir's scimitar. The flash of the knife flashed, and the scimitar slashed at his war knife with a crisp sound. He staggered back two steps, and when he looked down, he saw that the sword had been broken in two, and his left shoulder had been cut by a scimitar, three inches long and half an inch deep, and blood gushed like a fountain.

The emir's scimitar is in its scabbard. With a sarcastic smile on his face, he said, "I thought that Your Excellency was from the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and he was a Force Master, so he had to be very powerful. Try it, hehe, but it's just in vain. ”

Hua Ziyu's face was red, but she was powerless to refute.

The emir continued: "There is an old saying in your Eastern Chu Kingdom, 'Those who know the times are the best men'. Let your men lay down their arms and surrender obediently. I can spare you a life. ”

Hua Ziyu lowered her head, not knowing how to answer. The game was lost, and it was said that he was not entitled to bargain again. However, the fate and future of so many people were left to him, and it was difficult for him to make a decision.

At this time, Wang Xiaotian suddenly said loudly: "This should be said to you." You have all your men lay down their arms and surrender, and I can let you leave Dushant safely. ”

Everyone was stunned. The emir was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but wonder, "Who is this guy?
