The two palms struck by the man were so powerful that they sent the two burly guards flying several meters away. The most terrifying thing was that the two palms with such powerful force could not hurt anyone, and even made people feel
No pain.
The two guards sitting on the ground recovered after a while. They looked at each other and subconsciously touched their chests. They seemed to feel no pain. The two looked at the man in gray across from them in disbelief.
, stood up slowly.
With the sound of huffing and puffing, several more panting guards came after him. Without asking any questions, just by looking at Liu Zhang's expression as if he was faced with a formidable enemy, he could tell that the man in gray across from him was the enemy.
All the guards shouted loudly, holding their swords in hand, and charged towards the man in gray.
When he was approaching, the guards suddenly dispersed. Some jumped up and stabbed the gray-clothed man's face and temples on both sides with their swords. Some struck him in the chest, left and right ribs, and even
Some people specialize in his bottom plate.
Several guards instantly formed an attack net around the man in gray, wrapping him up in it.
Faced with such an attack, anyone would be in a panic, but the man in gray was really unhurried. He still put his hands behind his back, kicked the ground with one foot, and jumped into the air.
He slapped three palms in succession in the air. The three guards in the air felt their eyes blurred as a strong force swept in and hit their chests. The three guards all screamed in surprise.
, flew backwards.
The man in gray landed on the ground and caught the oncoming sword with his two fingers. He didn't even notice how hard he was. He just swayed left and right and heard two dings. Two sparks suddenly appeared in the air, and he was attacked from the left and right.
Both swords were blocked.
Immediately afterwards, he shot three more chapters in a row. Just like before, the three guards around him screamed and flew backwards. They fell far away one by one, fell to the ground with a thud, and fell into a first-class roll.
He swayed to the side of a guard. He didn't take any action, but just bumped him with his shoulder. The guard flew out, collided with his companions on the side, and rolled into a ball.
In the blink of an eye, the eight guards flew out beside the man in gray. The people fell far away and rolled on the ground in a mess, but without exception, they were not injured at all.
The man in gray clothes walked towards Liu Zhang unhurriedly. Liu Zhang, who was shocked, came to his senses. He suddenly shouted and attacked the man in gray clothes with his sword, hitting the opponent's chest with one sword.
He was faster, but the man in gray was even faster. Hearing the sound of sand, the man in gray unsheathed his sword, and a cold light suddenly appeared in the woods.
There was a clang and a whoosh in his ears, and the sword in Liu Zhang's hand flew out horizontally and whirled in the air. With a clang, the sword blade struck hard on the trunk of a big tree and stopped, and the sword hilt buzzed.
It buzzed and trembled non-stop.
Liu Zhang felt that his sword-holding hand was numb, and half of his arm could no longer use any strength. He looked at the man in gray close at hand with shock and horror, and said in horror: "You...who are you?"
"
The man in gray handed his sword forward, and the blade almost touched Liu Zhang's temple. He said word by word: "Golden elixir!" As he spoke, he first turned his wrist, and then flicked it again.
.
Hearing a bang, the sword struck the side of Liu Zhang's head. The latter felt his head buzzing, his vision went dark, and then he didn't know anything anymore.
The man in gray reached forward and caught the unconscious Liu Zhang. He grabbed the collar of the back of his neck with one hand and carried him like a chicken. He swayed and dodged towards the woods.
At the same time, his voice came out: "Inform Liu Xiu that if you want to save his nephew's life, come to Zhongling Mountain alone to find me! If I don't see him within three days, I will kill Liu Xiu."
I present Zhang Xiaoer’s head.”
Seeing that the other party was going to kidnap Liu Zhang, the guards present were so frightened that their expressions suddenly changed. People picked up their crossbows, pointed at the back of the man in gray, and fired volleys.
The man in gray smiled indifferently, and then swung his sword backward. With a clanging sound, several crossbow arrows were bounced away.
Then, the man in gray clothes jumped up, kicked off the tree trunk with one foot, and dodged into the lush branches and leaves. After a few bursts of clattering and huffing sounds, he looked again at the woods. Where was the figure of the man in gray clothes?
The guards present opened their mouths involuntarily, their eyes widened, and they couldn't recover for a long time. Such agility was something they had never seen before.
The most important thing is that the opponent is holding a big living person in his hand. Liu Zhang must weigh one hundred and fifty or sixty kilograms, but the opponent is holding Liu Zhang and it is as light as nothing. This is still
Human? He looks like a half-immortal!
Liu Zhang was kidnapped, which was no small matter. Most of the guards who escorted Liu Zhang were left to search for Liu Zhang all over the mountains and plains. The other three people rode fast horses to Chang'an to report to Liu Xiu.
At noon the next day, the messenger finally arrived in Chang'an City and hurried to Weiyang Palace to meet Liu Xiu.
At this time, Liu Xiu was playing chess with Lian Jingshu. Xuying quickly walked into the pavilion, came to Liu Xiu's side, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, something happened to the King of Taiyuan. His attendants are
Outside the palace."
If it was about other things, Liu Xiu wouldn't be nervous. When he heard that something happened to Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu couldn't sit still. He stood up suddenly. Lian Jingshu who was opposite him was startled and hurriedly stood up too.
, looked at Liu Xiu blankly.
Liu Xiu said with a serious face: "Jingshu, you wait here for a moment, I will go and come back!" As he spoke, he walked out of the pavilion and said at the same time: "Bring the attendant who brought the news to Chengcheng.
Meet me in the Ming Palace."
"Here!" Xuying bowed in response and walked away quickly.
Liu Xiu arrived at the Chengming Hall and sat on the throne, his face expressionless, but his eyes exuded a faint cold light.
Zhang Kun and Luo You, who were standing on both sides, looked at each other and lowered their heads. Both of them could feel the cold air emanating from Liu Xiu's body, and the entire hall was also in a low-pressure atmosphere.
Not long after, Xuying brought in three guards from outside.
The leader was a military lord, and the two following were both at the level of commanders. After the three of them entered the hall, they all knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Wei...wei ministers are here to see your majesty."
!”
"Everyone get up and talk!"
"I don't dare!" The military marquis knelt on the ground, his body trembling. They were the guards protecting King Taiyuan. Now King Taiyuan has been kidnapped by thieves, but they are still safe and sound. This is really unreasonable.
Liu Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked in a deep voice: "What is going on? Please explain it clearly to me!"
The military lord told them in detail how they passed by Zhongling Mountain, encountered bandits, were led into the dense forest by bandits, and met Jin Dan.
Finally, the Junhou said in a trembling voice: "Then...that thief calls himself Jindan, and his martial arts skills are very good. We...we are no match for him..."
Before he finished speaking, Xuying scolded angrily: "You are still here in peace and quiet!"
You are not my opponent? You don’t even have any injuries on your body, so why are you no longer my opponent? Have you ever fought against me?
The military prince kowtowed forward and described the fighting scene in detail. He said: "The thief's move was very strange. He only pushed people, but did not hurt them."
The other two village commanders nodded repeatedly and said anxiously: "What Lord Junhou said is true. We were all pushed away by the thieves at that time, but we were not injured."
Liu Xiu was startled, pondered for a moment, and looked at Xuying. Xuying was thoughtful, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "This shows that the other party is showing mercy to you, and that the other party's control of strength has reached the realm of transformation.
, not only can you send and receive it freely, but you can also control it as you wish.”
In Xuying's impression, even the top master of Yiqimen may not be able to achieve this level. After a pause, he frowned and asked: "You said, the other party calls himself Jindan?"
"Yes, then...the thief said his name is Jin Dan!"
Xuying turned to look at Liu Xiu and said: "Your Majesty, Jin Dan is a Taoist master who is proficient in martial arts and alchemy. However, Jin Dan has always been independent of the world. I don't know why it will be detrimental to King Taiyuan this time."
The Marquis of the Guards said: "The thief said that your Majesty... if your Majesty wants to save King Taiyuan, you need to go... alone to... find him at Zhongling Mountain within three days."
"Absolutely not!" Xuying trembled and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the martial arts of Jindan are incomparable to others. The other party is obviously targeting your Majesty. Your Majesty must not be fooled!"
Liu Xiu pondered for a while, then waved to the three guards and said, "You should step back first!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The three guards stood up tremblingly, bowed, and exited the hall step by step.
As soon as they left, Hua Feiyan walked in from the back of the hall. She first saluted Liu Xiufu, and then said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, as far as Feiyan knows, Jin Dan has a younger brother named Jin Tong.
"
Hearing this, Liu Xiu, Xu Ying, Luo You, and Zhang Kun all had expressions of surprise on their faces. Jin Tong? Isn't Jin Tong the assassin who sneaked into the palace to assassinate him not long ago?
Xuying groaned and suddenly realized: "It seems that Jin Dan is here to avenge his brother!" As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu and said: "In this case, your Majesty will not be able to go to Zhongling Mountain!
"
Jin Dan's reputation is very good, and we might be able to discuss other matters with him, but now he has a grudge against his younger brother, and Jin Dan can't let it go easily.
Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Jin Dan only gives me three days."
Xuying said anxiously: "Your Majesty can't go no matter what!"
Liu Xiu frowned and said, "If I don't go, Zhang'er will be in bad luck."
The eldest brother only left Zhang Er, his only heir, his only flesh and blood. He could not let Zhang Er suffer any loss, let alone watch Zhang Er fall into trouble.
Xuying lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty..." Jin Dan's intention was very clear, which was to use Liu Zhang to lure his Majesty to Zhongling Mountain to avenge his brother Jin Tong.
If His Majesty really goes, doesn't that mean he has thrown himself into a trap? What's more terrible is that Jin Dan's martial arts is too strong. If he adds Xu Ting, Xu Fei, or even Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bu, I'm afraid
None of them are his opponents.
Liu Xiu paced back and forth in the hall. If he went, he would naturally have a narrow escape from death. If he didn't go, his nephew's life would be hard to save.
Xuying was silent for a moment and whispered: "Your Majesty, I can send a message to the master, asking the master, uncle, and uncles to help."
We are all cultivators, and even if we don't have a deep friendship with each other, we always have to show some respect after meeting each other.
Liu Xiu thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, expressing his disapproval. Let’s not say whether the Yi Qi Clan would help. Simply speaking, time would not allow it. When Xuying finished writing the letter and delivered it to the Yiqi Clan,
I'm afraid it will be more than three days!
Hua Feiyan looked at Xuying and said solemnly: "Feiyan also feels that your majesty cannot do as Jin Dan said. The terrain of Zhongling Mountain is complex, with many mountains and lush forests. If your majesty goes there alone, I am afraid... it will be very unlucky.
few!"
If Liu Xiu was kidnapped by Jin Dan into the mountains and forests, even if the imperial court sent hundreds of thousands of capital troops into the Zhongling Mountain, it would be difficult to search because the Zhongling Mountain is too big.
Liu Xiu looked at Hua Feiyan, then at Xuying and others, and remained silent.
