Outside Sanmuzhai, Gu Cheng's soldiers were drawing a giant crossbow several feet in size, aiming it at Sanmuzhai.
The giant crossbow was covered with runes, and the crossbow arrow was actually red in color, with runes also engraved on it.
Several soldiers tinkered there for a long time before aligning the runes on the crossbow and the giant crossbow and shooting out with a bang. The crossbow exploded directly after hitting the gate, instantly destroying the gate of Sanmuzhai. Broken to pieces.
This is the explosive city-breaking crossbow, something created by the Miwutang of the Daqian military, which specializes in ordnance research.
Things created by combining the talisman formations of the Qi Refiner lineage and various weapon refining methods are valuable. A single crossbow arrow can create thousands of sets of refined armor.
So this thing is only brought when you need to attack the city. It was brought by the Beixuan Army.
As a result, Bei Shaojie was too entrusted to play with Fang Zhenhai in the field, and this thing was already sold out without being used.
Later, Fang Zhenhai didn't attack the city much, but let Gu Cheng fire the first shot.
Amidst the burning flames and screams, a large number of bandits from Sanmuzhai rushed out. Mr. Lu and Master Zhu from Sanmuzhai also came out with their people.
The spy had already revealed all the information about Master Zhu's family before, except for the eighth generation of the other party's ancestors.
The full name of Master Zhu is Zhu Sankui. He is a bandit at the lowest level, but he is also a figure. He used some methods and spent decades to kill the previous master of Sanmuzhai, and finally he became the leader. .
The surrounding bandit forces commented on Zhu Sankui's cautiousness. This time, for some unknown reason, he actually robbed the imperial officers and soldiers.
Gu Cheng looked at Zhu Sankui with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "This Master Zhu, do you know who I am?"
Zhu Sankui said with a smile on his face: "Of course I have heard of Mr. Gu, the new commander-in-chief of Guangling City. The misunderstanding is actually just a misunderstanding."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "You know who I am and kill my people, and now you tell me this is a misunderstanding? Zhu Sankui, are you tired of living?"
Zhu Sankui's expression changed slightly, but Mr. Lu behind him pushed Zhu Sankui away and raised his hand to Gu Cheng: "Master Gu, right? I'm Lu Hongyuan of the Leping Lu family.
This matter is indeed a misunderstanding. Who made your subordinates not reveal their names first?
I hope Lord Gu will give you some face. I will give you three times the court’s pension for the one who died. If we don’t fight, we won’t know each other. How about we make friends?”
Although Lu Hongyuan was young, he pretended to be an old man in the world, but in fact, in the eyes of guys like Gu Cheng and Chen Danggui who had been in the world for a while, he was very ridiculous.
If Lu Hongyuan was really manslaughter, then there is still room for negotiation on this matter.
But according to what Kou Andu said, after he showed his name, the other party started to kill people and silence him. Is this a lack of acquaintance without fighting? This is simply a slap in Gu Cheng's face.
The other party obviously wanted to kill everyone, and then there would be no evidence and everything would be over.
It's a pity that he didn't expect Kou Andu's vitality to be so strong, and he survived until he returned to Guangling City.
You have killed all the people, but now you are still saying that we don't know each other without fighting. He really thinks that Gu Cheng is an idiot.
However, Gu Cheng has heard of the name Leping Lu Family.
The other party is not one of the seven major aristocratic families, but it should be regarded as a relatively strong aristocratic family under the seven major aristocratic families. However, the inheritance does not last long, only three or four generations.
Using Leping as the prefix is just to put money on one's family's face. In fact, in Leping County, they themselves don't dare to say this, because the family that can represent Leping County is Leping Murong, who ranks at the forefront among the seven aristocratic families.
Shi.
Looking at Lu Hongyuan, Gu Cheng suddenly sneered: "Make a friend? Are you worthy?"
This is Nanyi County, not Leping County. You killed my people in Nanyi County, and now you want to tell me to make friends. Your Lu family is so shameless. You really think you are your number one person.
?Who gave you the courage to say this?"
Lu Hongyuan's expression suddenly darkened, but before the other party could say anything, Gu Cheng's expression also darkened, and he shouted directly: "Do it! Kill all the bandits in Sanmuzhai, no one will be spared!"
As Gu Cheng finished speaking, Chen Danggui led a group of soldiers to rush over.
He also had a good relationship with Kou Andu. Although he was still teasing him when Kou Andu was seriously injured, it didn't mean that he wasn't angry inside.
So when he took action this time, he rarely took off the linen on his arm, revealing his terrifying arm with ghost eyes.
Taking one step forward, Gu Cheng leapt directly off his horse, stabbing Lu Hongyuan with the blood-abyss sword carrying the dark candle and dark fire.
Although Lu Hongyuan is young, he actually has the strength of the seventh grade peak.
The moment Gu Cheng's sword struck, he made a seal with his hand, and the earth and rocks beneath his feet rose inch by inch, blocking Gu Cheng's arrow.
What the Lu family is good at is not martial arts, but a rare Qi practitioner who is not from the Taoist lineage. They specialize in Yin Yang and Five Elements Escape Technique. Putting aside their training speed, their combat power is extremely amazing for the same level, even better than that of the Taoist lineage.
Qi training is even stronger.
"Gu Cheng, are you serious that you don't want to give me the respect of the Lu family?"
Lu Hongyuan looked at Gu Cheng in disbelief.
There is no war in Leping County, but the local martial arts forces are more powerful than the imperial court. They are even so powerful that the local imperial forces do not dare to take care of the martial arts situation.
The Lu family has some businesses that need the help of the local governor to give green lights, and they are always responsive.
Although Gu Cheng controls a county, he is just a general. How can he be so powerful in his work?
"This is not Leping County, but Nanyi County. Your Lu family has no face!"
Don't talk about this matter. Gu Cheng doesn't want to give face. Even if he wants to give it, his people won't agree.
Almost all of his men were soldiers from Fang Zhenhai's rebel army.
Zhang Xian killed Fang Zhenhai's men before, and he killed Zhang Xian under his instigation. Although it aroused dissatisfaction and hostility from other rebels, it established a strong image within the rebel army.
If Gu Cheng took a step back at this moment, he could guarantee that the soldiers of the rebel army would be disappointed and disloyal to him.
Gu Cheng doesn't need reputation in Nanyi County, but now these soldiers are the only force he can control, but he needs reputation in their hearts.
"Damn it!"
Lu Hongyuan cursed angrily. This was the first time he had truly left the family's sphere of influence to practice, but it was also the first time he felt that the Lu family's reputation was not so useful.
You must know that even Zhu Sankui, an old bandit, chose to surrender respectfully after he revealed his identity, but Gu Cheng did not buy it at all.
The Xue Xue was activated, and the evil energy from the Blood Abyss Sword shot into the sky, shattering the earth wall in an instant. At the same time, the Xuanyin Twelve Jade Secret Talisman Array was blasted out, and the powerful spiritual energy was scattered, causing Lu Hongyuan to take a few steps back.
The next moment he waved his hand, the earth and rocks beneath Gu Cheng's feet shattered into pieces, and traces of flames wound around him like spiritual snakes.
He immediately took out two more spiritual talismans, and instantly ice arrows condensed in the void, heading straight for Gu Cheng.
“Fancy!”
Lu Hongyuan's power is not weak. Although the Five Elements Technique is the basis, he has used it extremely solidly and his power is also very powerful.
But it's a pity that he met Gu Cheng. Xue's power was already comparable to that of Gang Qi. These fancy things couldn't stop him.
Jiu Feng returned to his nest and thrust out, the indomitable sword force tore apart everything, whether it was the line of fire or the ice arrows, all were torn apart. Lu Hongyuan was so horrified that the seal in his hand was almost an afterimage, and vines fell from it one after another.
The force emerged from the ground, surging around Gu Cheng.
But the next moment, Xuanyin Flying Thunder exploded. Not only did the vines explode, but Lu Hongyuan himself was blown away, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Lu Hongyuan looked at Gu Cheng in shock, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
In the past, he had dealt with the most young disciples from big factions, so he knew exactly how powerful these disciples were.
Gu Cheng was able to burst out this level of power at the seventh level. How did he do it?
But before he could think about it, a blood shadow flashed past, and Gu Cheng's figure appeared in front of him, and the sword edge was less than three feet away from his face.
And before Lu Hongyuan could react, Gu Cheng had already used the Shocking Guanyin Seal. Guanyin opened his eyes, and the powerful force of suppressing evil and killing evil shook the hearts of the people.
However, this time the Shocking Guanyin Seal failed, and it also failed for the first time.
There was something unknown on Lu Hongyuan's body, and a flash of white light actually offset the power of the stunning Guanyin Seal.
At the same time, his whole body completely turned into a pool of human-shaped water, passing under Gu Cheng's sword edge and fleeing into the distance.
He really felt a strong murderous intention in Gu Cheng's body. If he didn't run away at this time, he would be easily killed by Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes. He had seen a lot of Five Elements spells, but this kind of secret technique that could directly turn the body into a puddle of water and was completely immune to physical swords was really rare.
But the sword can't hurt this puddle of clear water, what about other things?
Gu Cheng squeezed the Seal Technique with his hand, and he used the Five Ghost Transport to pull out the human-shaped clear water that was about to seep into the ground, causing it to let out a shrill howl.
The five little ghosts returned to Gu Cheng, also carrying a handful of water, but when they fell to the ground, they turned into a bloody broken arm.
When Gu Cheng wanted to take action again, Lu Hongyuan had already screamed and escaped directly into the ground, disappearing, leaving only a large pool of blood.
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, no wonder Kou An was so badly injured in the opponent's hands. A disciple from such a big family does have two tricks and some trump cards.
However, the monk who was able to escape could not escape from the temple. Gu Cheng turned his attention to Zhu Sankui, who was almost torn into pieces by the violent Chen Danggui, and said calmly: "Keep alive."
