Chapter 128: Chapter 83: Entrusting Oneself to the Merciless Blade, Murder in the Mortal World (Please Subscribe)_2

Fayue decided to let go of the matter, lest it overly preoccupy him and affect his Buddhist heart.

A group of people arrived at Songhe Building.

Guard Captain Wang clutched his waist saber: "Conduct a strict search for the rebels, no one is allowed to move, anyone who does will be killed on the spot."

He exhaled and shouted loudly, the call resounded within and outside Songhe Building.

Although Mr. He pursued progress, he still preserved some of the integrity of the scholars, knowing that storming in to capture people could easily harm the innocent.

Therefore, he preferred to alert the rebels inside by having Guard Captain Wang warn the people inside the building first.

Of course, this also had to do with Mr. He’s trust in Households Commander Zuo’s professionalism.

For the men under Households Commander Zuo had already noticed the traces of the Lotus Sect rebels, and prepared a strategic blockade.

Once the people of the Lotus Sect burst out, Commander Zuo’s men would be there to intercept them.

...

...

In a small courtyard deep inside Songhe Building.

"Trouble has started," Elder Tang’s heavily wrinkled face almost scrunched up into a ball.

She looked around at the people, including those who brought along their trusted aides. Her first reaction was the presence of a mole, but it was not the time to look into the matter.

Without a second thought, Elder Tang ordered, "Set the fire."

In a moment, smoke billowed from Songhe Building.

Magistrate He, seeing this from outside the hall, couldn’t help but his expression change.

The people inside the building all turned pale.

Actually, the fire wasn’t big, but it exerted a great psychological pressure.

Moreover, with the winter weather being dry, the small fire at present, if it spread later, could affect an entire street. Unfortunately, Magistrate He could not allow the people inside the building to leave, as there would surely be rebels attempting to escape amidst the chaos.

Xu Qing made a decisive decision: "Lord, you command the firefighting, I’ll go inside with Brother Wang and Master Fayue to eradicate the rebels."

Upon arrival, he promptly left his body with his Divine Soul to observe the internal movements.

Because it was already night, the vital energy of the Lotus Sect members was especially distinguishable to Divine Soul.

Xu Qing quickly locked onto their approximate location.

"Alright, be careful Gongming," Magistrate He knew the urgency of the situation and that Xu Qing was meticulous. Since he spoke with such confidence, there surely was assurance.

He then ordered Guard Captain Wang, "You must protect Gongming."

"Understood, I swear I’ll protect scholar Xu with my life," Guard Wang was clear in his heart that Xu Qing’s martial skills were superior to those of his brothers, but now was not the time for that, his attitude had to be made clear.

On the other hand, Magistrate He sent someone to call for Households Commander Zuo’s men to follow them inside.

The more urgent the situation, the calmer Xu Qing’s heart became.

He led Fayue, Guard Captain Wang, and others, rushing directly to the courtyard where the Lotus Sect members were.

...

...

After Elder Tang ordered to light up the fire, she did not rush to break out but waited until the fire intensified before attempting to sneak out amidst the chaos.

Unexpectedly, within this short delay, they heard heavy footsteps approaching from outside.

With her experience in the worldly society, how could she not identify the presence of a group of skilled fighters?

Just as she thought to warn them, Divine Soul suddenly sensed a malevolent aura.

Instinctively, she circulated her Divine Soul to resist.

Just as her Divine Soul was set in motion, she heard the cry of Crane Call, and her train of thought in her Divine Soul momentarily stagnated, then she "saw" a Yaksha King thrusting a steel trident towards her.

"The Five Great Demons!"

Elder Tang was shocked.

After all, she was not like Elder Yun who had suffered the backlash of a spell, and since Xu Qing hadn’t been involved in much killing recently, his malevolent thoughts were not strong, and the Yaksha King was not empowered by the aura of Holy Virtue, its strength was not as formidable as in the Marquis Wuding Mansion.

After a moment of shock, Elder Tang collected herself.

At this moment, she saw a sturdy young man clad in chain armor cleaving a skilled member of her sect to death with a saber.

...

...

After Xu Qing killed one person, his malevolent thoughts immediately intensified, and the Yaksha King’s malevolent aura became even more entangling, persistently harassing Elder Tang.

"Embodied within the white blade, slaying amidst the red dust."

Xu Qing suddenly recalled a poem, and a burst of boldness surged in his heart.

Once a martial arts practitioner aroused a killing intent, it was natural to be without the thought of stopping.

At this moment, casting aside his daily caution, he wielded his waist saber, striking down the enemy upon sight.

Although Xu Qing had not systematically cultivated saber technique, saber skills could be said to be an extension of barehanded kung fu, as long as one mastered the principles of energy application, the saber techniques wouldn’t be too inferior.

With a downward slash of his saber, relying on the Bull Demon Strength he’d honed and his sturdy muscles, he was like a tiger entering a pack of wolves.

Moreover, with Fayue and Guard Captain Wang sweeping the formation next to him, Xu Qing’s safety was somewhat guaranteed.

Although the members of the Lotus Sect were also individuals who licked blood from the blades, upon suddenly encountering a robust youth like Xu Qing, they still lost their composure.

Moreover, Xu Qing breathed out his energy, in sync with the Crane Call, inherently shaking the enemy’s spirit.

These individuals, facing Xu Qing, naturally fell short in spirit.

Adding to that, the martial monks joined the battle.

They coordinated with each other seamlessly.

One side was well-prepared and well-trained; the other suddenly trapped and panic-stricken.

Furthermore, Elder Tang was distracted by Xu Qing’s Yaksha King for a moment.

That very moment caused Elder Tang to lose the opportunity to organize her men in time, resulting in everyone fighting their own battles.

Soon after, the Inner Factory men under Households Commander Zuo forced their way in.

The fire outside was also brought under control.

Elder Tang and the others immediately fell into a situation outnumbered by the enemy.

"Let’s go." Elder Tang tossed out a paper packet, letting out billowing Poison Smoke, instantly blinding everyone.

Several hall masters seized the opportunity, following Elder Tang over the courtyard wall.

Xu Qing slightly circulated his Divine Soul, noticed Elder Tang’s direction, and immediately flung his waist saber towards her retreating figure. Elder Tang, sensing the oncoming malicious gust, instinctively blocked with her snake-head cane.

After all, she was getting on in years and no longer in the prime of life.

Also being a woman, she naturally lacked the physical strength compared to male counterparts of the same level.

Upon blocking, her palms instantly went numb.
