Chapter 269 The Holy Maiden's Misfortune
In front of the tea stall, a dozen or so members of the Lingwu Sword Sect surrounded the two carriages, each of them glaring menacingly, their long swords gleaming with a blinding cold light.
"Everyone back inside the carriages! No matter what happens, don't come out!"
Seeing that the other party was hostile, Xiaolongnu and her companions were about to jump off the carriage to fight, but Duan Zhengchun stopped them in time.
These people are all cultivators. Although Xiaolongnu and the others are not weak in martial arts, martial artists are naturally several levels below cultivators and are no match for them!
Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Xiaolongnu and the others glanced at him worriedly before hesitatingly returning to the carriage.
"Weren't you going to kill me? Are you scared now?"
Duan Zhengchun looked coldly at Zhu Tongshan and asked with a smirk.
"kill him!"
Zhu Tongshan frowned slightly and raised his hand to give the order.
In fact, he dared not be careless, after all, Duan Zhengchun had killed the Holy Son of the Holy Sect by his own strength, so his cultivation level was definitely not low!
At a command, more than a dozen enemies rushed toward Duan Zhengchun almost simultaneously, brandishing their long swords and attacking him from all directions!
Duan Zhengchun remained calm and composed. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Just before a dozen long swords were about to fall on him, he suddenly disappeared like a ghost from the crowd and the curtain of swords. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing on the roof of the tea stall!
The surrounding diners and tea stall owners had all long since disappeared.
Seeing Duan Zhengchun's unpredictable movements, Zhu Tongshan was clearly taken aback. He gripped his sword and shouted, "What are you standing there for?! Attack together!"
More than a dozen enemies turned around and leaped up, once again attacking Duan Zhengchun, who was standing on the roof of the thatched hut, with each attack more ruthless than the last!
Duan Zhengchun tilted his head back and took a sip of wine. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the wine instantly spilled out of the gourd.
Then look at Duan Zhengchun, his right index and middle fingers swiftly flicking out droplets of wine that had been spilled in mid-air! These droplets shot rapidly towards the dozen or so enemies already suspended in mid-air, throwing them into disarray!
In the midst of the chaos, Duan Zhengchun suddenly activated his power, rushing towards one of them with lightning speed and unleashing a powerful palm strike!
"Uh..."
With a painful groan, the person who was hit was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground, unable to get up again!
Zhu Tongshan, who had been standing still and had not yet made a move, watched Duan Zhengchun's series of actions and frowned even more, as if he had just realized how difficult Duan Zhengchun was to deal with.
Just as the other assassins charged at Duan Zhengchun for the third time, Duan Zhengchun raised his hand and waved it. Immediately afterward, a dragon's roar was heard, and the Lingxiao Sword, which had broken out of its box, flew directly out of the carriage and rushed towards more than a dozen enemies who were swinging their swords!
Screams quickly rang out!
More than a dozen enemies who followed closely behind all fell to the ground, each wounded by the Lingxiao Sword, their weapons falling to the ground!
The one-sided situation left Zhu Tongshan, who was standing to the side, completely stunned!
He had thought that Duan Zhengchun would be difficult to deal with, but he hadn't expected Duan Zhengchun's swordsmanship to be so advanced!
He was clearly just a lowly martial artist from the mortal realm!
He is scared!
He actually lost his confidence in front of a mere brute!
So he chose the safest option, and without caring about his men lying on the ground, he suddenly turned and rushed toward the carriage next to him!
There are hostages in the carriage!
Upon seeing this, Duan Zhengchun's pupils contracted, and a surge of murderous intent erupted instantly!
Zhu Tongshan's eyes widened, and he gripped his sword tightly, rushing towards the carriage with all his might. If he could capture just one hostage, he could turn the tide!
Closer! The train carriage is right in front of us!
But at this critical moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a ghostly figure flashing past him out of the corner of his eye!
Zhu Tongshan's heart tightened, and he thrust his sword forward with all his might!
This was his move, where he held nothing back!
A series of metallic clangs rang out instantly!
But Zhu Tongshan was stunned and stood there!
His sword broke, and the other piece had flown off somewhere. All he could see was Duan Zhengchun standing in front of him, his sword, sharp enough to cut through iron, pressed against his throat!
His broken sword was still a foot away from Duan Zhengchun's chest!
He lost!
And there's no chance to make a second move!
"You dare to aspire to the position of elder?! The Spirit Martial Sword Sect is nothing but a joke!"
Duan Zhengchun stared at Zhu Tongshan with murderous intent, his voice icy cold.
"turn out to be..."
"I never expected Master Tianzhi to have applied runes to your sword! Doesn't he fear offending the twenty-two sects by doing this?!"
Zhu Tongshan stared at the clear runes on the Lingxiao Sword, his brows furrowed, his face full of resentment.
"So what if I offend them?!"
"At least he is more upright than you! From now on, anyone who opposes the Heavenly Temple is my enemy!"
Duan Zhengchun stared coldly at Zhu Tongshan, gripping his sword hilt tightly as he spoke, ready to end the fight.
"I am an elder of the Lingwu Sword Sect. Kill me, and you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Duan Zhengchun had already drawn his sword and pierced Zhu Tongshan's throat!
Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhengchun flicked his wrist, and the Lingxiao Sword flew out like lightning, instantly sending all the Lingwu Sword Sect disciples who had fallen to the ground to their deaths!
Hearing that things had quieted down outside, Xiaolongnu and the others slowly walked out of the carriage. Seeing that Duan Zhengchun was unharmed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything, got into the carriage, and sped off towards Lingze City.
...
Lingze City.
Wutong Inn.
Duan Zhengchun sat quietly in the hot spring pool, his eyes slightly closed, leaning back on the wooden pillow, his face full of comfort.
Although this is the second largest inn in Lingze City, its hot springs are indeed the best.
He had already booked the entire venue for a hefty sum, and just wanted to enjoy himself in peace and quiet.
Xiaolongnu and Lu Wushuang served him on either side, one pouring wine and the other feeding him peeled fruit.
The inn where the Holy Maiden of Tianmen stayed was the largest inn, just one street away.
At this moment, the image of the Heavenly Gate Saintess involuntarily appeared in his mind, and his dantian heated up, a sly smile flashing across his lips.
"What kind of crazy idea are you hatching now?"
Little Dragon Girl noticed the unusual activity in the hot spring pool, rolled her eyes at Duan Zhengchun, and asked in an annoyed tone.
"nothing."
Duan Zhengchun smiled and shook his head, casually saying that the figure in his mind just wouldn't leave.
It was late at night, and almost all the other guests in the inn were asleep; there was not a sound to be heard around.
If something were to happen now, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Xiaolongnu and Lu Wushuang exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of tension and anticipation in each other's eyes.
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded, and Li Mochou quickly walked in.
"Uncle-Master, your arrival is perfectly timed..."
Lu Wushuang turned her head and glanced at it, then said jokingly.
Completely bewildered, Li Mochou glanced at Lu Wushuang, whose face was flushed, and went straight to Duan Zhengchun's back, saying earnestly, "Duan Lang, the Qingyi Guard just sent word that the Holy Maiden of Tianmen has been attacked and may be in grave danger!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun, who was lost in thought, suddenly opened his eyes, immediately stood up, jumped out of the pool, and quickly dressed as he walked out.
"Do you even know who they are?!"
"The intelligence is urgent, and the situation is currently unknown!"
Duan Zhengchun said nothing more, took the Lingxiao Sword from the sword box, and strode out of the inn.
The Little Dragon Girl and Lu Wushuang, who were stunned in the pool, looked at each other in disappointment. They quickly dressed and returned to their room to call the others to head to the inn where the Heavenly Gate Saintess was staying.
under night.
On the street outside the city's largest inn, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Gate is being besieged by dozens of experts!
She had injuries on both arms and her back. Although they were not fatal, if the injury continued, she would bleed to death!
"You guys are really persistent! If I die today, Tianmen will surely raze Crimson Moon Cliff to the ground!"
The Holy Maiden of Tianmen coldly surveyed the enemies surrounding her and said through gritted teeth.
Her purple dress is now almost entirely stained red with blood!
"If you die, the destruction of Tianmen will not be far off!"
"Do it!"
The leader snorted coldly, looking smugly at the Heavenly Gate Saintess, and with a wave of his hand, gave the final order...
