Gu Shengchao broke out of the window and just landed on the ground when he heard the sound of piercing the air behind him. Knowing that it was the steel cone coming from him, he knew the power of the steel cone, so he spread his legs and ran towards the wall. Outside.

The man reacted and knew that Liao Weikang was a strong martial artist and that he was no match for him, so he ran in the opposite direction.

Liao Weikang's Steel Cone usually hit every target, but this time he missed. He also understood that he had encountered a powerful enemy, so he immediately jumped out of the door, let go of the assassin who was using a bow and arrow, and chased after Gu Shengchao.

The two of them ran towards the outside of the city one after the other. Gu Shengchao was slightly at a disadvantage because he was not familiar with the road. Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer, Liao Weikang threw out the steel cone again and whizzed towards Gu Shengchao's back and stabbed him in the heart.

In a panic, Gu Shengchao took out the sword that was nourished by the true energy in the Five Soul Formation in his Dantian, and hit the steel cone head-on. With a "clang" sound, the steel cone was blocked and fell, and the sword bounced back to Gu Shengchao and took it back to his Dantian.

The process of drawing out and retracting the sword was completed in one go, and the speed of running forward did not slow down. Liao Weikang's steel awl landed on the ground. Even if he did not pause, he was delayed in the process of retracting it. His speed naturally dropped, and he was further away from Gu Shengchao.

.

In fact, Gu Shengchao could have fought with Liao Weikang in terms of strength, but he preconceived the idea that his opponent's kung fu was stronger than his own, and he was on his own territory, so he lost a lot in his heart and momentum. In addition, there was a group from Longhu Village.

With so many people, he was weak on his own. He just wanted to get rid of the other party first, but he didn't expect that the other party was following him like a shadow. When he ran out of the capital and came to the broad river, and was sure that there was only one person chasing him, he suddenly realized:

Why should I run?

Gu Shengchao turned around, and Liao Weikang followed him. He noticed that Liao Weikang was chasing after him. Standing in the moonlight, his breath was a little disordered. He could sense the ups and downs of breathing. Although it was very weak, it was very clear, unlike in the moonlight.

In that big house in the capital, the other party's aura could not be detected at all. Gu Shengchao was relieved, this Liao Weikang was not as powerful as he thought.

Liao Weikang sneered: "Why don't you run away? Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will still take your head off."

"Really? Come on then!" Gu Shengchao stood by the river, as steady as a rock.

Liao Weikang had experienced many battles, and when he saw Gu Shengchao's detached look, he was also suspicious at the moment and did not dare to act rashly. Originally, Gu Shengchao's strength was there, hidden on the beams without being discovered, and the steel cone was used twice

No one was hurt by any of his attacks, so Liao Weikang should not be underestimated. He glanced across the river and around to make sure there was no ambush, then slowly took out the steel awl and slowly turned the connected iron chain. The steel awl drew a line in the air.

He swung it in an arc, and the steel cone turned into a streak of silver light and stabbed diagonally towards the Ancient Saint Chao.

Gu Shengchao did not try to dodge, but rushed straight towards Liao Weikang, using the "moving clouds and seeing the sky" move in Jiutian Biluo's palm, and slashed at the opponent. He knew that Liao Weikang's moves were mainly about speed, so he decided to use quickness to control quickness.

Liao Weikang seemed to have figured it out a long time ago. He shook the iron chain and the steel awl was stung, and then pierced Gu Shengchao's back and heart. Gu Shengchao quickly leaned over and rolled to the side, and the steel awl went straight towards Liao Weikang's face.

He turned sideways to let go of the sharp edge of the steel cone, and cut across with his left hand. The steel cone turned around in his palm and then changed direction to stab Gu Shengchao.

Although Gu Shengchao has the iron arm magic to protect his body, he has never practiced it with a sharp blade. He doesn't know how far the protection is, and he can't try it easily now. He dodged left and right, and then quickly attacked Liao Weikang, but the opponent's defense

Strictly, Gu Shengchao tried many times but could not break through Liao Weikang's defense. He had no choice but to use the Five Soul Formation, with five flying swords divided into upper, middle and lower directions to pierce Liao Weikang.

Liao Weikang was shocked and moved the steel cone to protect himself. The iron chain made a "buzz, buzz" sound in the air.

Gu Shengchao controlled the flying sword to rush left and right. Unexpectedly, Liao Weikang danced the steel cone and the iron chain on it into an upside-down vat. The flying sword was blocked one by one and could not penetrate. Liao Weikang also found a trick and relied on it.

The tight protection came towards Gu Shengchao, but Gu Shengchao kept retreating, but there was nothing he could do.

Just when the ancient sage was at his wits end, a sigh suddenly came from the side: "Alas!"

The ancient sage was horrified. He thought that his perceptive ability was superior. After continuous improvement, he could detect the aura within a hundred steps radius. He didn't know when there was someone around him. If the other party suddenly made a move, he would either die or be injured. He jumped out.

Just in case something unexpected happened, he saw clearly that the two of them were standing in the moonlight, looking at him with a smile.

"Senior Lu! Senior Fang!" Ancient Sage Chao said in surprise. He was stunned, and the flying sword hung uncontrollably in the air and kept shaking, making a clanging sound.

Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan stood side by side. Lu Chuan did not accept Gu Shengchao as his disciple, so he had to be commensurate with his senior.

"You, you are so eloquent when you are learning, but when you use it, you are miserable, you can't bear to look at it, you can't bear to look at it!" Lu Chuan shook his head in regret.

Ancient Sage Chao took back the Five Soul Formation, stood aside with his hands lowered and said humbly: "Junior is stupid, please give me some advice from senior."

Over there, Liao Weikang saw that the situation was not good, and his internal force pushed the steel cone and the connected iron chain. The iron chains and the iron chains, and the iron chain and the steel cone, all scattered, and suddenly turned into tiny parts.

With a raised hand, these tiny parts turned into hidden weapons that filled the sky, covering Lu Chuan and the other two people.

Lu Chuan was furious: "I was going to spare your life, but it seems I really can't."

He opened his big hand, and the hidden weapons in the sky seemed to be stuck to a piece of sticky cloth and stopped. Then, Lu Chuan waved his big hand to one side, as if tearing the curtain apart, and all the hidden weapons fell in the direction of his big hand.

Seeing Liao Weikang running for a distance, Gu Shengchao started to chase him. He chased for a few steps, and a figure swayed beside him, and suddenly surpassed him, turning into afterimages, blocking him in front of Liao Weikang.

The ancient sage looked intently and saw that it was Lu Chuan. He was puzzled. How could a man with a lame right leg, who usually had to drag himself forward with difficulty when walking, be as fast as lightning?

Liao Weikang couldn't hold back his feet and actually bumped into him. Lu Chuan was as motionless as Mount Tai, but Liao Weikang bounced back, took a few steps back and turned over in the air before he could stand firm. He saw Lu Chuan in front of him and the Ancient Sage behind him.

Chao, threw a few fusiform darts at Lu Chuan, and hurriedly tried to escape to the side.

Lu Chuan shouted: "Definitely!"

Liao Weikang was really unable to move as if his acupuncture points were pressed, and those darts also hovered in mid-air, motionless.

"Watch it!" Lu Chuan waited for Fang Xingdan and Gu Shengchao to arrive. He swayed and changed his position in an instant. Gu Shengchao's eyes flashed, and Lu Chuan was in another place. He was confused and couldn't figure out the doorway.

, Lu Chuan's movement speed increased, and the afterimages connected into a pentagon. Only then did Gu Shengchao suddenly understand.

Lu Chuan stood calmly and asked: "How is it? Do you see it?"

Gu Shengchao asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the Five Soul Formation is meant to induce but not release, and use the Five Elements technique to control the opponent?"

Lu Chuan nodded and said: "That's right, it's like a sophisticated restraint method. It uses the aura generated by the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth to restrain the opponent." Lu Chuan was not afraid that Liao Weikang would hear it and leave.

Walking to his side, he pinched the fusiform darts into his palm one by one, threw them aside, and then asked: "Do you know what is under those towers?"

Gu Shengchao thought for a moment and said: "It's the foundation. Below the tower is a very deep foundation, which is several times wider than the tower body and almost the same as the tower height."

Lu Chuan praised: "It's good that you can understand this. The Five Soul Formation is like a foundation. Once you have laid the foundation, you can do whatever you want based on it. Now you are avoiding the important and taking the easy and throwing the foundation as a weapon. Of course, it will be in vain."

It’s a thankless job.”

After deep thought, Gu Shengchao woke up like he was dreaming and said: "I understand. I was really stupid. I made a mistake in the method of the Five Soul Array. Thank you for your advice, senior."

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you know it now. You have to study hard and practice hard to gain enlightenment. It all depends on your level of understanding."

Gu Shengchao thanked him again: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will practice diligently and live up to my senior's teachings." He looked at Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan and said humbly: "Why did the two seniors come to the capital late at night? Are they with Miss Ding Ying?"

related?"

Fang Xingdan stepped forward and grabbed Gu Shengchao's arm, and said excitedly: "Please tell me quickly, where is that girl Ding Ying now? It is for her sake that I begged Brother Lu to accompany me to find her."

"Senior Fang, don't be anxious." Gu Shengchao's arm was sore from being scratched, and Fang Xingdan also felt lost and let go. Only then did Gu Shengchao put Ding Ying in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He briefly told the story of how he sent the bodyguard and Liu Ximei to the capital.

.

Fang Xingdan was furious and raised his sword to chop off Liao Weikang's head. He pulled Lu Chuan away and said, "Brother Lu, Ding Ying and I share the same love as mother and daughter. Could you please follow me to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments to rob the prison and rescue that girl Ding Ying."

Gu Shengchao quickly stopped and said: "Two seniors, you must not do it. The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is heavily guarded, and there are dense secret passages inside. It is really a dragon's den and a tiger's den. The old owner of the Wuyou Escort Agency is also among them. We originally planned to rob the prison, but later we saw that the Ministry of Punishment had already

To be on guard, let’s put it aside for the time being. The execution will be carried out in six days. The escort agency and I plan to go to the execution site to rob the execution site on that day. With the help of two seniors, we will definitely succeed immediately.”

Lu Chuan thought for a while and said: "Forget it, according to Sheng Chao's suggestion, the two of us will go to the capital to find an inn to stay. How can we contact you?"

Gu Shengchao said without hesitation: "Gaosheng Inn is where the Ninth Prince communicates with people from all walks of life. If you tell me your name, you will definitely find me."

Lu Chuan joined hands with Fang Xingdan to go to the capital. After careful consideration, Gu Shengchao hurried to Gaosheng Inn regardless of the late night, and told the people inside that he would see Fan Lixin immediately to tell him something urgent. Fan Lixin came after a short while.

"Why are you looking for me?" Fan Lixin looked sleepy and had obviously fallen asleep.

Gu Shengchao recounted what happened that night, found pen and ink and drew the approximate location of the house. He explained: "I heard that Longhu Village was ordered by the Ministry of Punishment, but that person named Liao Weikang didn't look like that.

He is a subordinate of the Punishment Department. He is called the commander by them. He is good at using steel cones, so he should be able to find out where he came from."

"Liao Weikang, good at using steel cones?" Fan Lixin said to himself: "Could he be a subordinate of King Wu, the envoy from the East?"

The ancient sage was surprised: "Don't the two sides of the Wuwang Palace help each other? How come they appear on the side of the old eunuch Wen Zhe? What is the position of the Zuo Envoy?"

"Under the head of Wuwang Palace are the four heavenly kings of the east, west, south and north, and below that are the four envoys of the east, west, south and north." Fan Lixin also felt that something was strange, so he asked Gu Shengchao to rest first.
