Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 156: A gentleman is not an instrument

Views:

Looking at the absolutely beautiful woman walking on the moon, who would most likely be elected as the most beautiful woman in the world if someone made a list of the most beautiful women, Maitreya, who is usually extremely lustful, not only did not have any lustful thoughts, but felt very annoyed.

Why the hell are you here!

When your opponent becomes strong enough, what you care about will not be appearance, but life or death, success or failure.

Maitreya had arrived a long time ago, and did not want to show up too early to let the people of Gusu know too early that Maitreya was involved. He just wanted to wait until the Tang family's evil spirit was soaring, and the people of Gusu angrily pushed the Tang family away, and then come to clean up the situation and take over the results of the battle, so as to facilitate future rule.

Therefore, after hiding and waiting for so long, I didn't expect that the Lu family's operation would inexplicably fail when it was about to succeed, and the pool stopped moving!

What's even more infuriating is that the army, which had been lazy and had poor discipline, and whose generals were staying in brothels, was pulled out of some familiar bed by Tang Buqi, and the commander actually went back to reorganize the army and charge into the city, catching his Maitreya plan off guard.

This messy army that was temporarily assembled is of little use, but his Maitreya Sect does not have much power in Gusu!

Seeing that everything was about to go haywire, Maitreya made a prompt decision and immediately threw out the evil treasure that he had just obtained and hadn't even warmed up yet, to draw the evil energy below upwards, and it worked as expected.

But who could have thought that after all this time, Tang Wanzhuang would actually arrive!

Maitreya originally had the power to suppress everything and could easily resolve any incident, but suddenly someone was able to rival him.

The capital city is thousands of miles away. It is possible that Tang Wanzhuang was so sensitive to the crisis in Gusu as soon as she learned about the incident in Yangzhou many days ago that she came here in a hurry, not even giving her subordinates time to wait, because no one was faster than her.

Just like the Luo Family Manor back then, she always arrived at the critical moment in time. Even if she had an extra meal before leaving, it would probably be too late.

Maitreya couldn't help but feel tired. With this woman in the key department of the court, everyone's work is really difficult. Zhuque, who went to kill Luo Zhenwu, must have felt the same way. It's just that Luo Zhenwu was killed by a young man who showed up unexpectedly. Today, this young man seems to be on Tang Wanzhuang's side.

That kid seems to be in Gusu now... Given the current situation, could it be that the winner will also be on him

While these thoughts flashed through his mind, Maitreya did not stop. Seeing Tang Wanzhuang coming towards him with a sword in hand under the moonlight, Maitreya stepped forward with his knife and launched an active attack!

Tang Wanzhuang's illness has never been cured. She has traveled thousands of miles to get here, so she must not be in peak condition. The best choice is to attack quickly and not give her a chance to breathe!

The spring water sprinkles lightly, and the subtle fragrance floats in the air.

The Buddha's light is bright and lotus blooms in the sky.

The battle between the third and fifth place on the Earth Ranking erupted above the Tang Family. It was no longer a funny, tentative fight like at the Ancient Sword Lake, but a life-and-death battle!

- Two demon cult giants, Suzaku is fourth, Maitreya is fifth, which roughly shows why Tang Wanzhuang is eager to break through. If she doesn't break through quickly, she doesn't know if she can control these two. Even so, there is still a Xuanwu whose true identity is unknown to everyone in second place, and a thief who gives everyone a headache in first place.

I won’t mention the people on the Heaven Ranking… Four of the top five on the Earth Ranking are wanted criminals. How difficult must it be for the Demon Suppression Division to handle their business…

Tang Wanzhuang was ranked third on the Earth List before her breakthrough. But now she has injured her lung meridian by forcing a breakthrough. No one can tell whether her current strength is higher or lower than before. That’s why Suzaku Maitreya had avoided fighting with her if possible, as he was extremely afraid of this sickly girl.

Now we can no longer wait and see, the battle of life and death breaks out.

But at this time Tang Wanzhuang was also very troubled. Whether she could defeat Maitreya or not, it would take time to determine the winner. What should she do about the changes in the sword pool

Maitreya can sit back and watch the evil sword in the pool rise up and kill everyone present, but can she, Tang Wanzhuang, do the same

Who else can help

… …

By the Sword Pond, the situation should have been slightly better than before.

Although the evil spirit in the pool was rising at this time, the people who were bewitched and instigated were not as targeted at the Tang family as before. Most people saw with their own eyes that Maitreya threw something into the pool which aroused the evil spirit. It was hard to say whether the evil spirit came from the sword pool or Maitreya.

But no matter what people think in their hearts at this moment, who they stand on the side of, or whether they want to sway the outcome of the battle for the rankings, as soon as the thought comes to mind, the evil sword in the pool has already appeared.

People watched helplessly as the space cracked like glass, the whole environment seemed to be twisted, as unreal as a mirage. But the water in the pool was really washed away and scattered all over the mountain. In an instant, a beautiful sword pool disappeared.

Instead, a huge sword shadow rushed up, and Lu Shaoxiong, who had not had time to leave the pool, was directly crushed by the sword shadow. His screams were mixed in the "booming" change of space, and people didn't hear clearly that Lu Shaoxiong had been crushed into meat paste.

Lu Yuanting stood there in shock, unable to even recall the pain of losing his son.

Not only is the sword shadow extremely powerful, but the bloody murderous aura surrounding it is even more captivating.

It was as if one was in a bloody battlefield, with broken limbs everywhere, bloodthirsty beasts all around, the cries of vultures in the ears, the sky cracked, and the eyes of gods and demons staring ferociously through the cracks; just one glance was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear!

"Swish, swish, swish!" Thousands of sword energies fell like rain. No matter which camp they were in, all were baptized by the sword energy.

This is the evil sword that wants to kill all living things after being angered by the old man of the Lu family!

Screams rang out one after another. In an instant, both the Tang family and the various people who came to cause trouble were killed and injured. Blood was all over the Thousand People Stone, mixed with the water from the collapsed Sword Pond, and Tiger Hill suddenly became a ghost prison. Even Lu Yuanting had not expected to face such a scene in advance.

“Hurry up!” Tang Wanzhuang’s voice came from mid-air: “No matter if you are the enemy or not, turn around and evacuate in an orderly manner based on your current position! My Tang family men will step out and block the sword energy from behind. This sword energy is not as strong as you imagined!”

The air seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then someone shouted, and everyone ran away in panic, throwing Tang Wanzhuang's order of "orderly evacuation" to the winds. Including Tang Wangsheng, all the members of the Tang family were no exception. Who the hell would cover the retreat of this group of bastards who came to cause trouble? Everyone just wished their parents had not given them two more legs, and ran down the mountain.

However, this is a mountain road after all, how wide can it be

Only half of the blade of the huge evil sword had left the ground, and the sword energy hadn't even been released for the second time, but people were already pushing and shoving each other for the road, and countless people were trampled to death and injuries.

I don't know whether more people were killed by the previous round of sword energy, or by the trampling of each other.

While Maitreya was rapidly fighting with Tang Wanzhuang, he laughed loudly: "Master Tang has worked so hard just for these bastards? And your self-righteous Tang family member is covering their retreat... Phew, hahahahaha... The Tang family has no one else except you! In my opinion, you might as well come to my hometown of Zhenkong, which is paradise. Why bother working so hard for these losers? I feel sorry for you just looking at you."

Tang Wanzhuang's face was as gloomy as water and she didn't say a word.

Just as Maitreya was laughing wildly, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared in the mountain. Someone flew across the trees and headed straight for the location of the evil sword. Then, he stood alone with his sword, blocking the evil sword. "This is Huqiu Sword Pond, the mountain of the Tang family. The children of the Tang family should cover the retreat. Those who still know that their surname is Tang, come over here and stand up for me!"

The crowd still crowded on the mountain path were stunned for a moment and looked back.

Tang Buqi stood in front of Sha Jian with a sword in his hand, feeling so lonely.

Even the half-exposed evil sword was already taller than the others...

Tang Buqi, who admitted when drunk, "Brother Zhao, I will die," faced the terrifying evil spirit that could scare thousands of people to death. Everyone could see that his sword-holding hands and legs were shaking, but he stood there as if he had taken root and remained a son of the Tang family.

Many people looked at each other and suddenly rushed forward: "Master."

"Cousin."

"My dear nephew."

"let me help you!"

Suddenly, a wall of people appeared in front of Sha Jian, each of them standing with a sword in hand, ready for battle.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

The second round of sword energy fell like rain.

But this time people discovered... As long as you are not frightened by the evil spirit and as long as everyone can form a formation to fight back, this scattered sword energy does not seem to be difficult to block.

As long as the sword energy is dispersed, Zhao Changhe can endure it with his body, how difficult can it be

"Dangdangdangdang" the sound like pearls falling on jade plates was heard, and all the Tang family members really took on the sword energy, and no one was even injured!

Maitreya's expression changed, and Tang Wanzhuang finally showed her first smile since arriving here tonight: "Who said that there is no one in my Tang family?"

"Hahaha!" Tang Buqi led the crowd to successfully intercept the rain of swords. His voice was originally trembling, but now he started to boast again: "Nothing special, nothing special! What ancient vicious sword? Get out of here earlier and I will take you away earlier!"

"Boom!" The sword shadow finally broke out of the space completely, announcing that the barrier of the alien space was broken and the two worlds were connected again.

The huge sword shadow turned around and pointed at Tang Buqi.

Tang Buqi: "... I was just joking..."

Maitreya laughed and said, "It's not surprising that the overflowing sword energy can be blocked... But can these people break this extremely ferocious giant sword? It's a pity that these Tang family men who have some backbone are all killed by..."

Before he finished saying the word "this", Maitreya's eyes suddenly bulged.

A man covered in blood, holding a girl in his arms, rushed out of the ground following the hilt of the sword.

As soon as he landed, the man put the girl aside, took off the huge broadsword on his back, and slashed at the sword shadow: "There is a guy who keeps shaking and wants to wrestle with you. It would be best if you can gather into a sword shape... If I can't beat the Sword Emperor, I can't beat you?"
