First Move Wins

In the mountains and forests.

The torches dispelled the darkness.

Three men in black were surrounded in the center, and the two sides were facing off.

These three were the remnants of the Black Witch Cult that the government was trying to eradicate.

"grass!"

"Who leaked the information?!"

Mosha, the young boy from the Black Witch Cult, had eyes that blazed with fury and veins bulging on his forehead.

That day.

He left Baisha County for Yongning Prefecture and obtained the key item for the sacrifice from his senior brother. However, he never expected that he would be surrounded by the imperial court's people as soon as he returned to Baisha County.

This is the second time.

Last time, he was also inexplicably surrounded and killed by the officials of Baisha County and a group of powerful people, and almost lost his life, and also lost the bones of the witch immortal.

Mosa is not stupid.

He naturally guessed that if the Black Witch Cult could plant spies in the government, then there must also be spies from the imperial court within the Black Witch Cult itself.

Someone leaked their whereabouts, which is why the imperial court was waiting here so early, catching them off guard.

"Dan Yun..."

Mosa looked at the man standing opposite her with his hands behind his back.

Having lived in Baisha County for so many years, he naturally recognized Dan Yun's identity.

If he were an ordinary person, he would be no match for his senior brother.

At this time.

The burly man beside him, easily over eight feet tall, seemed to boom with muffled thunder: "You guys go first!"

But before he could finish speaking...

Then they heard Magistrate Zhou's voice: "Let's go?"

"No need to go any further."

A series of chaotic footsteps approached, and Magistrate Zhou arrived with his men, which then surrounded the area.

There were thirty people at once.

They immediately surrounded the three members of the Black Witch Cult completely.

Magistrate Zhou looked at the eight-foot-tall, towering man before him, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes: "The Fiend Tiger, Tu Yan?"

The Blackwater Great Shaman had a total of seven disciples.

Four of them were martial arts practitioners.

The Tu Yan before us may not be the strongest, but his reputation is the greatest.

of course.

This reputation is naturally a bad one.

Ten years ago, Tu Yan single-handedly slaughtered over a hundred households in a village, causing quite a stir in Yongning Prefecture. The government sent people to hunt him down many times, but Tu Yan always managed to escape.

To commit such heinous acts, one must not only be ruthless but also possess considerable martial arts skills.

Magistrate Zhou glanced at Dan Yun beside him.

"Fortunately, I didn't overestimate myself this time."

Two against one.

The advantage lies with me!

Killing Tu Yan is another great achievement.

"You villain, submit to death!"

Magistrate Zhou shouted loudly.

With a clang.

The long sword at his waist was drawn, and it shot towards Tu Yan like a silver snake spitting its tongue.

at the same time.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes when Dan Yun, the leader of the Zijin Hall, also made a move. His Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique was like a whirlwind passing by, and it actually stirred up a rolling sandstorm.

"So strong!"

Zhong Xuan was startled and observed very carefully.

It's rare to see a martial arts practitioner who has trained in muscle strength actually use their skills.

Just as Magistrate Zhou joined forces with Dan Yun to suppress Tu Yan.

A scream suddenly rang out from the outer edge of the crowd.

"A monster!"

Everyone turned to look.

They saw a government official have half his body bitten off by a giant wolf demon that was as tall as a man.

"Red tail wolf!"

Zhong Xuan had heard from Zheng Yue that the Black Witch Cult had the ability to control beasts.

The red-tailed wolf in front of me must be the demon beast of that black witch boy named Mosha.

at the same time.

Another black bear monster charged out of the forest, followed by a large group of wild beasts.

A scene of chaos.

Those martial arts practitioners, in particular, turned deathly pale instantly.

Fortunately, among the martial artists targeted in this siege were many masters of bone-training.

Zhang Linchun, Zheng Yue, and several other disciples of the academy all joined forces.

They instantly subdued the two demonic beasts.

Apart from the two demonic beasts, the others attracted were just ordinary birds and beasts.

It posed almost no threat to the warrior.

As Yan Shuoting said, apart from the unlucky official who was just ambushed, this siege was indeed just about gaining credit.

The battle is raging.

Zhong Xuan easily ended the life of a giant worm with a single sword strike.

Then he observed the battle situation with a detached eye.

He showed no inclination to step forward and show off, unlike some of the martial artists around him.

"What are my chances of winning if I were to face this red-tailed wolf?"

Zhong Xuan stared at the red-tailed wolf being surrounded and killed by Zhang Linchun and his men.

Although a beast tamer like Mo Sha may not have exceptional martial prowess, when paired with a demonic beast, he can hold his own against three bone-training martial artists without being defeated in a short time.

"There was indeed a reason why the Black Witch Cult was able to flourish back then."

Zhong Xuan secretly praised him.

Even though these three disciples of the Blackwater Grand Master were incredibly fierce, they were still suppressed by a group of people and gradually lost their arrogance.

Without him.

In short, it's all about numbers and strength.

The reason why the Qing Kingdom was able to become the undisputed overlord of this land is because it had strong enough people and enough warriors.

You can overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

The three people in front of us are the best example.

"This is the moment!"

Zhong Xuan kept observing the changes on the battlefield, especially Mo Sha and the red-tailed wolf.

Under the combined attack of Zheng Yue and another expert from the Purple Gold Hall, the Red-Tailed Wolf was repeatedly defeated and driven to the very edge of the battlefield.

The weakness was exposed at the waist and abdomen.

Experienced hunters know that wolves have a head of bronze, bones of iron, and a waist of tofu.

To kill a wolf, you have to hit its waist.

Even though the Red-tailed Wolf is a demonic beast, it still has this weakness.

Time is of the essence.

Zhong Xuan seized the opportunity with keen insight, his long sword transforming into a rainbow, shooting towards the vital area of ​​the Red-tailed Wolf's waist like a shooting star.

puff.

Blood splattered.

The red-tailed wolf cried out in pain, letting out a mournful howl.

"good!"

Zheng Yue immediately applauded Zhong Xuan for this point.

This is precisely the Nine Strikes of the Flying Eagle.

Moreover, it is not a single move, but a combination of three styles. This kind of swordsmanship that is not bound by any particular move is what truly makes the Nine Strikes of the Flying Eagle a masterpiece.

Another expert from the Purple Gold Hall, who was fighting the Red-tailed Wolf, also raised an eyebrow.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

Although he did not practice swordsmanship, he knew that swordsmen used most of their moves by keeping their swords in hand.

This makes Zhong Xuan's experience with the "disengaged sword" technique all the more apparent.

Moreover, Zhong Xuan's ability to seize opportunities is also extremely remarkable.

More importantly, the old man in the distance did not seem to have broken through to the Bone Refinement stage.

"No wonder he was able to become a government-subsidized student."

Although the middle-aged swordsman from Zijin Hall had never met Zhong Xuan, he knew a thing or two about the prominent figures in Baisha City, and Zhong Xuan happened to be on his list.

"You old scoundrel!"

Mo Sha, who was being besieged, roared angrily and stared intently at Zhong Xuan with his red eyes.

He is a beast tamer.

The Red-tailed Wolf was bound to him by life and death. When the Red-tailed Wolf was pierced through the internal organs by that sword, he suffered as well.

Zheng Yue and the expert from the Purple Gold Hall naturally understood the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

The two men launched an even more aggressive attack.

It took less than a quarter of an hour.

Zheng Yue delivered a fatal blow to the throat, severing the Red-tailed Wolf's head.

The enormous headless wolf carcass crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

at the same time.

Mosa's blood and qi were reversed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His vision went black, and he fell backward to the ground, unconscious.
