The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1341 - 695: Blood Night Unceasing

Under the moonlight, Kong Hui's green robe fluttered with the night breeze.

His eyes glowed a faint red, a mocking smile hung at the corner of his mouth, as if ridiculing everyone.

Li Yan hadn't anticipated that this demon would appear so brazenly before them.

"How dare you!"

Murderous intent surged in Li Yan's eyes as he grasped the Hook Paper.

The reason he became a thorn in Jianmu's eye was largely due to his identity as a "living Yin messenger." No matter how skilled these old demons were, they rampaged the Human World, meeting the Yin Department Soldiers would mean certain death.

But holding the Hook Paper, Li Yan frowned slightly.

His Hook Paper showed no response.

The opponent likely possesses the National Sacrificial Divine Artifact, requiring closer proximity...

Thinking of this, Li Yan exerted force with his legs, instantly leaping seven to eight meters ahead.

His Hook Paper was embedded with a Jade Pendant, enhancing its sensitivity.

But simultaneously, Kong Hui flew backward, his speed surpassing Li Yan's.

Li Yan halted immediately, making a hand gesture behind his back.

Bang!

Without hesitation, Sha Lifei raised his gun and attacked.

This was their team's signal, meaning fire support.

The gunfire roared, lead bullets ripped through the air, directly shooting towards Kong Hui's chest.

But as the smoke dissipated, everyone's pupils contracted suddenly.

A large hole appeared in the distant inn's roof, tiles shattered and scattered.

At this range, the firearms should have hit accurately, yet before the gunfire subsided, Kong Hui's black robe rippled like water—the lead bullet wrapped in gunpowder actually penetrated his body and shattered the roof behind him, only his robe edge fluttered in the wind.

"How is this possible?"

Sha Lifei gulped, his face full of disbelief.

Since the advent of new firearms, they have been invincible, reshaping the balance of the pugilistic world.

No matter how skilled one was, being surrounded by over a dozen firearms required retreating momentarily.

Some remarked, the emergence of firearms might signify the decline of the pugilistic world.

The Captain Bureau even specifically established a Firearms Team, practicing formations to deal with Grandmasters.

This was the first time witnessing someone ignore firearms.

"Despicable coward!"

Sha Lifei, unconvinced, cursed and prepared to reload the bullets.

"Don't waste ammunition."

Wang Daoxuan spoke in a deep tone to stop him.

Possessing the Eye Divine Power, his Eye Power was superior; just now, he managed to catch a glimpse of seven residual shadows in an instant, uncertainly saying: "It seems to be a type of movement technique, seven instant displacements, difficult for ordinary people to discern."

Only then did everyone recall Kong Hui's background.

The opponent was one of the Ten Grandmasters of the Northern Song, his Martial Arts already at its peak, and he was an Imperial Tutor.

"It's the 'Yinwen Eight Pieces'!"

Kong Shangzhao followed Luo Mingzi back to the post station, exclaiming in shock from the rear.

Li Yan wanted to ask what "Yinwen Eight Pieces" meant, but now was clearly not the time.

In the distant street, dense footsteps sounded like muffled thunder.

Soldiers stationed near the post station were alerted and rushed over, their torches forming a meandering line of fire dragons in the dark. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Over there!"

An eagle-eyed soldier shouted, pointing his torch at the elusive figure on the rooftop.

In the capital's crucial point, the sudden gunfire put the soldiers on high alert.

Ignoring orders to capture alive, they raised their firearms to aim.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A deafening round of gunfire pierced the night sky, lead bullets poured down like raindrops.

The rooftop tiles exploded amidst the bullet storm, debris scattering everywhere.

Kong Hui's figure was like a ghost, twisting and turning amidst the bullet rain.

Seeing reinforcements crowding from all directions, he snorted coldly and fled.

Li Yan's eyes flashed coldly, he stepped forward and pursued relentlessly.

However, as Kong Hui's folding fan opened and closed, it produced an eerie rhythm.

Astral Bane Energy stirred up a gale, each fan movement making his figure more elusive, seemingly merging with the nighttime.

With a swish, the green figure vanished at the end of the alley, leaving Li Yan standing there, his fists clenched tightly with cracking sounds.

"Damn it!" Li Yan cursed angrily.

This was his first time being completely suppressed in movement technique.

Even Cheng Jianxian, famous for Qinggong, probably didn't have such speed.

At this moment, the massive troops had surrounded the street completely.

The leading officer, seeing Luo Mingzi display his waist token, immediately knelt on one knee:

"Subordinate, Commander Yuan Cheng of the West City Military Department, pays respects to the master."

Luo Mingzi's expression was grave, he gestured: "Yuan Commander, please rise. You arrived just in time, immediately arrest these traitors and mobilize troops, follow me to eradicate the Iron Anchor Association's lair."

"This..." Yuan Cheng looked troubled, sweat beaded on his forehead, "The Iron Anchor Association has extensive ties, I'm afraid..."

"I hold the Imperial Token, this case is personally approved by the Holy Emperor!" Luo Mingzi commanded sharply, "Who dares block, will be judged for treason!"

"At your command!"

Yuan Cheng dared not hesitate, turned and ordered loudly: "Everyone, follow me!"

The severely injured members of the Iron Anchor Association were dragged away, bound tightly.

Li Yan stared at the direction Kong Hui disappeared, his eyes gleaming coldly: "Let's go, let's meet these bastards!"

Having finally caught a lead, he naturally couldn't be careless.

With Luo Mingzi issuing orders, the elite of the Captain Bureau and experts of the Law Enforcement Hall arrived one after another.

The East City Military Department also received an urgent report, enclosing the Iron Anchor Association's incense hall entirely.

Torchlight illuminated the night sky brightly, warhorses snorted anxiously.

Inside the warehouse, the association members looked ashen, no one dared to take a step outside.

Though their warehouse was fortified like a fortress, it could only fend off people from the pugilistic world.

With the deployment of soldiers, carrying a large number of firearms, resistance clearly led to death.

Finally, a man with gold-plated teeth trembled out, a fawning smile on his face: "Esteemed officers, what laws have we broken..."

"You bastard! Do you still recognize me?"

Zhang Tiankui, leaning on his long sword, walked out of the crowd with a limp, his smile exceptionally sinister.
