The government sergeant stared dumbfoundedly at Qian Darong lying in a pool of blood.
I can no longer hold the weapon in my hand.
With just one blow, the general was stunned.
He was a city-defending general at the seventh level of the Strength Realm. He was known for his bravery and unparalleled fierceness. How could he not be able to stop him with a single blow?
So how strong should this Cao Su be?
A master in the middle level of strength realm? Or even stronger?
The sergeants all showed fear in their eyes and couldn't help but retreat.
For a time, the circle between Cao Su and Qian Darong became even bigger.
No one dares to get close.
After Cao Su collected the white light, he sneered: "Anyone who knows how to do it, please get out of my way, otherwise don't blame me, Cao, for being ruthless with the long sword in his hand."
At this time, the centurion of the rebel army, who heard the commotion in the courtyard, began to invade the city lord's palace.
The two teams, one on the left and one on the right, kill and chop everyone they see.
There is no strong resistance in the city lord's mansion. Although there are many soldiers, they are all Qi and blood warriors.
The fighting power was too weak, and for a while, the city lord's mansion was filled with blood.
Cao Su was blocked by Qian Darong, which wasted time. The city lord Shi Tan had already turned around and walked into the darkness, and even his figure disappeared.
Cao Su immediately abandoned these soldiers and pursued Shi Tan.
Although the yellow-haired man is hateful, killing him will not be of much use and will not directly solve the problem of passing the level.
If you want to pass the level of climbing the city, you must also control the city lord.
…
"Run, run away!"
Deep in the city lord's palace, Shi Tan desperately tried to escape.
Why is Cao Su here? Cao Su actually killed him and turned around?
How did he get into the city? Did he fly over directly?
Shi Tan does not practice martial arts, and his body is the same as that of ordinary people. If he is caught by a vulgar martial artist like Cao Su, how can he get away with it?
Run away!
Shi Tan now only hopes that Qian Darong can stop Cao Su a little.
After all, Qian Darong is also a famous general in the city. Not to mention too much, there should be no problem if he delays dozens of moves.
"Is there any royal method to suppress the rebel army's sudden attack on the city?"
While fleeing, Shi Tan ordered to his left and right: "Send my general's order immediately, and the army will immediately surround the city lord's palace. I will make it impossible for Cao Su to come back!"
Although Shi Tan was running away, his thoughts were clear.
Although we don't know how Cao Su "sneaked" into the city, there was nothing wrong with the city wall.
Since there is nothing wrong with the city wall, it means that the thief is only in the city lord's palace.
He led his army to surround the city lord's palace, and when the time came, thousands of arrows were fired.
It doesn’t matter what level of power you are in, whether you are a captain or a top expert, you will all be stabbed to death!
Of course, the premise is that he must be moved to a safe place first.
The movement behind him became even quieter. The duel between Qian Darong and Cao Su should have been quite loud. Why was there no sound?
Shi Tan's heart sank and he turned around subconsciously.
boom!!
The next moment, a figure burst out from the wall!
Amidst the violent sound of the wall shattering, a large amount of dirt and gravel flew out. Cao Su crashed into a path and pursued him!
"Cao Su!"
"Quick, stop him!"
Shi Tan screamed, and the soldiers below resisted the tremendous pressure and pushed forward.
Cao Su was extremely fast, and the bright cold sword turned into pieces of light in front of him. His powerful force exploded. The few soldiers who came into contact with him first were chopped into several pieces, turning into a rain of blood all over the sky.
Ahhhh...
Amidst several screams, Shi Tan's soldiers were all killed by Cao Su.
Then Cao Su made a vertical leap and jumped from the bottom.
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Shi Tan, who was rolling and crawling away.
He stretched out his long arm and used his five fingers as claws to catch Shi Tan in his palm.
At this critical moment, Cao Su's expression changed slightly.
He retracted his palm, touched the ground with his toes, and jumped up, dodging a long sword coming from the side.
The sword's cold light was so sharp that it almost pierced Cao Su's palm.
If Cao Su hadn't hid in time, he would have been injured by now.
"This lord is very polite."
Cao Su stopped and squinted his eyes to see a young Taoist priest in fluttering black clothes appearing in front of Shi Tan.
There was a talisman attached to the long sword in his hand, shining with dark cyan light.
Monk?
Although this young Taoist claimed to be polite, he showed no etiquette in his actions. His fierce sword almost pierced Cao Su's palm.
Shi Tan was in shock. At that moment, he thought he was dead.
After stopping again, he lost all the strength to escape and collapsed on the ground, looking at Cao Su and the monks who suddenly appeared.
"Who are you? How dare you stop me?"
Cao Su asked coldly, feeling the breath of the young Taoist.
The aura of a monk is different from that of a martial artist.
The aspirant of a Taoist is restrained, and refining the spirit is the first priority.
I can feel that he is extraordinary, but I don't know what realm he is.
Generally speaking, Taoists have two realms: Foundation Building and Core Formation. The Foundation Building stage is equivalent to the Qi and Blood realm of a warrior. It is a low-level cultivator who has not yet broken through the shackles of mortal transformation.
The pill-forming stage is equivalent to the strength of a warrior, a monk who has broken through the shackles of mortal transformation.
But such a simple two-step division is not very accurate, because the foundation-building practice of a monk takes a long time, far exceeding the energy and blood training of ordinary warriors.
Moreover, many ascetics in the foundation-building stage have also mastered considerable magical powers.
The combat power is comparable to that of a warrior. The two sides are in a different system, so the most accurate comparison cannot be made.
Like the young man in front of him, Cao Su noticed that his eyes contained divine light, and he was obviously a master in the alchemy stage who was already practicing Taoism.
Once a Taoist reaches the realm of elixir formation, his or her life span can be extended by hundreds of years.
From the perspective of the division of life span levels, it is also very different from that of warriors.
Therefore, Cao Su did not dare to be careless. This man looked young, and he might also be an old Taoist with good looks. He had been practicing for many years longer than him.
The young Taoist felt the displeasure in Cao Su's mouth, but he was not annoyed.
He pointed at Shi Tan who was lying on the ground and said: "This Lord Shi is a court official whom I, the Xuanyun Sect, protects. You'd better not make things difficult for me."
It turned out to be a Taoist from Xuanyun Sect.
Cao Su had heard of the name Xuanyun Sect. This sect was a super sect located in Lingzhou and one of the true monastic sects.
The top monastic sects not only have cultivators, but also cultivate guardians.
Guardians are usually practitioners of other systems besides ascetics, such as the most common warriors.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The warriors of the top monastic sects are also top-notch.
Not only are there middle-level masters of the force realm who have cultivated inner strength, there are also many high-level masters of the force realm who have been immersed in martial arts for many years. It is even rumored that there are many masters who are first-level force realm or even masters who have broken through the force realm.
Xuanyun Sect is a super sect, dominating Lingzhou.
It just so happens that this place is already close to Lingzhou.
Therefore, it is not unusual for a cultivator from the Xuanyun Sect to appear.
What’s strange is that this person actually wants to save Shi Tan. What’s the reason for this?
What is the relationship between Shi Tan and Xuanyun Sect?
What other purposes does Xuanyun Sect have?
Cao Su thought for a while.
Then he put away the long knife and smiled.
It seemed that he didn't take the fact that he was almost pierced by a sword just now into his palm seriously.
"It turns out that he is the Taoist priest of Xuanyun Sect. This is a bit disrespectful. Xuanyun Sect is the Zhengde Xuanqing Sect, which is a holy place in the hearts of many ascetics. It is disrespectful and disrespectful!"
The two words were the same as those of Xuanyun Sect, and he complimented the other party skillfully.
After hearing this, the young Taoist showed a little pride.
He nodded with great satisfaction and lowered the sword in his hand.
He said to Cao Su in a "condescending" tone: "You know that Xuanyun Sect is the holy place in the hearts of monks in the world, which shows that there is indeed a sincere heart, but it is really a shame to say something like a sneak attack on the city lord's palace.
.”
"City Lord Shi Tan is a friend of my Xuanyun Sect. I hope you can realize this."
The young Taoist's words made Cao Su very unhappy.
Cao Su said indifferently: "But he blocked my way. I just want to pass. What's wrong with me?"
At this time, Shi Tan finally stood up.
Hearing what Cao Su said, he relied on the young Taoist priest to protect him and angrily said: "Whether we can pass through the checkpoint here is our own right when we climb the city. Whether we let you pass or not, it is all recognized by the law.
, approved by the imperial court.”
Hearing this, Cao Su couldn't help but interrupt Shi Tan.
"Do you have the nerve to mention the imperial court?"
"As an official of the imperial court, he set up checkpoints privately, defended his own troops, and delayed the advance. He neither suppressed the rebels nor helped the imperial court. He also tried every means to create difficulties for the friendly forces."
"No amount of heads are enough for a person like you."
"You..." Shi Tan pointed at Cao Su, his face ashen.
Cao Su's words are reasonable and well-founded.
What he said was all true, leaving Shi Tan and the young Taoist speechless.
"Okay, since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. No matter what grudges you have between you, Shi Tan will be under the protection of our Xuanyun Sect from now on."
The young Taoist said domineeringly, implying that Cao Su could leave.
How could Cao Su be willing to leave? His men were still in the city lord's palace, and his sergeants were still waiting outside the city.
How can we leave easily without completely controlling the city?
He stared at Shi Tan and said, "I don't have to kill people, but they must follow me."
When Shi Tan heard this, his face turned dark.
He immediately shook his head and said: "There is no such possibility, I will not follow you."
Just now, Cao Su rushed out, like a tiger descending from the mountain, with a ferocious look that wanted to chop him to death on the spot. If he followed Cao Su, his life would be directly in Cao Su's hands.
He became a hostage, and Cao Su could decide his life or death with a single thought.
After all, he is also a dignified city lord, how can he be humiliated like this?
So after Shi Tan took one look at the young Taoist, he felt confident enough and rejected Cao Su with his head held high.
The young Taoist also said: "As long as you leave Dengcheng, I will let you go. Why bother trying to push the envelope and cause further setbacks?"
It's all the fault of Cao Su and others for opening or closing their mouths, and their bias is palpable.
