Chapter 357: Chapter 247: Twelve Celestial Array

"Miss Zhu Zhu, this is the father of that beast. Since he failed to teach his son properly, I’ll leave him to your disposal as well," said Qin Yuesheng, throwing Tong Yan to the ground.

"Th-thank you, my lord." Although Zhu Zhu had dismembered Tong Wen, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of sorrow.

Vengeance, what use is vengeance? Her Lan Xiaoyuan was dead and could never come back to life.

Qin Yuesheng stood aside, observing the tragic state of Tong Wen, about to say something when he suddenly turned his head sharply in a certain direction, his expression immediately turning serious.

At this moment, Qin Yuesheng could clearly sense several powerful presences quickly approaching from that direction.

"Reinforcements from the Tong Mansion?" Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.

Those presences were formidable, even Qin Yuesheng had to deal with them cautiously and couldn’t afford to underestimate them.

...

Outside the Tong Mansion, four short men wearing tall hats were swiftly carrying a sedan chair steadily down the street.

Surrounding the sedan chair, eight men in yellow robes each wielded round rings, following closely, neither too fast nor too slow.

The curtain of the sedan was lifted from the inside, and Liu Xian’s head immediately poked out of the window: "Have we arrived?"

"My lord, should we go straight in?" asked one of the short men carrying the sedan.

"Go in," Liu Xian responded.

Tong Yan had sent someone directly to ask for Liu Xian’s help, and this immediately made Liu Xian feel a sense of crisis. Now Yangzhou Prefecture was his domain, and Tong Yan was his top advisor. Who was so bold as to dare stir trouble on his turf?

A group of people leaped continuously over the roofs, all experts in Inner Strength. The noise from the earlier duel between Qin Yuesheng and Sun Hongming had long pointed them to where they needed to go.

So without any hesitation, the group immediately headed towards the back courtyard of the Tong Mansion.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The screams of Tong Wen and Tong Yan echoed in the courtyard, Zhu Zhu numbly wielding her sword, and Qin Yuesheng fixing his gaze in that direction.

Soon, the group of experts brought by Liu Xian appeared within his line of sight.

The four short men stopped on the rooftop; Liu Xian lifted the curtain, bending over to step out of the sedan chair.

When he heard Tong Yan’s screams and saw his tragic state, his expression instantly darkened. Tong Yan was his reliable aide, and being murdered today was like losing an arm and a leg.

And at this moment, standing firmly on the rooftop, Liu Xian saw Qin Yuesheng’s face and was suddenly shocked: "Why is it you?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Qin Yuesheng smiled and said, "Lord Liu, long time no see. You look more spirited than ever."

"The Seven Stars Supervisor..." Liu Xian’s eyes were filled with fierceness. The Seven Stars Supervisor was an agency under the Great Tang, and for the other party to openly storm into the Tong Mansion and kill people today was clearly a slap in his face within Yangzhou Prefecture.

"I know that only experts can join the Seven Stars Supervisor, but your actions today are far too arrogant and reckless. This is Yangzhou Prefecture, do you really think no one here can deal with you?" Liu Xian said, placing his hands behind his back, looking down from above.

As the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture, he had long cultivated an official air. Ordinary citizens would be terrified upon hearing him and would kneel immediately, too frightened to speak.

But Qin Yuesheng was different. He had killed the Great Ghost Venerable, slain a thousand-year-old prodigy, and wounded a dragon. In terms of imposing presence, Liu Xian was far from matching these extraordinary figures.

Qin Yuesheng pointed his knife at him, "I want to see who in Yangzhou Prefecture can deal with me."

Liu Xian’s face was like ice as he waved his hand forward.

Instantly, except for the four short men carrying the sedan, the remaining eight yellow-robed experts attacked simultaneously, leaping forward like great eagles spreading their wings, aiming to strike Qin Yuesheng.

Each of them wielded a pair of round rings, with narrow outer bodies and thick inner parts. The edges were sharp and could cut like blades, with serrated barbs; being hit was no small matter.

As the eight experts infused their weapons with their Inner Strength, the rings instantly emitted a white glow, their momentum becoming even more ferocious.

Qin Yuesheng remained calm, drawing the Demonic Celestial Blade with his left hand and the Dragon-Slaying Sword with his right, ready to take on all eight.

"Kill!" A shout came from someone, and the eight yellow-robed experts leaped forth, their rings glinting, aiming to strike at various parts of Qin Yuesheng’s body.

This was not the first time Qin Yuesheng had faced such a situation. He was already experienced, and with a tap of his toe, he leaped into the air, his hands producing a flurry of sword-shadow flashes as he rolled out of the encirclement, directing his assault entirely at one yellow-robed expert.

This person was alert, swinging his rings, sending waves of white rings careening towards Qin Yuesheng’s body, rolling across the ground.

The destructive force of the rings was astonishing, carving trenches into the ground, stones flying in all directions.

Qin Yuesheng’s sword-shadow flashes collided with them, resulting in a thunderous explosion, creating deep and shallow scars across the surroundings, demonstrating its power.

"Ha!" The man swung his arm, forcefully throwing a ring-blade, sending it slicing through the air towards Qin Yuesheng’s head. The whistling sound made by the blade as it spun was as crisp as a flute, but Qin Yuesheng blocked it with his Dragon-Slaying Sword.

This ring-blade looked dangerous, but in front of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, it was no match. With a resounding clang, the blade was split in two by the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

The two halves of the ring-blade flew off to Qin Yuesheng’s left and right, embedding into the stone slabs paving the courtyard ground.
