Chapter 004: The Seven Demons of Dongting

Xiong Chu did not expect that the hidden weapon technique of the snake demon Hou Tiancheng would be so bizarre. The three-inch bamboo leaf green hidden weapon was able to bypass the front, Xia Yun, and come directly at him.

If it is not about hitting a dog, but rather about fighting with martial arts masters, using an iron rod weighing over 50 jin and a long sword weighing 5 jin in a clash, then it would require expending ten times more strength than the opponent

At this moment, one of the two elite Jinyiwei experts originally positioned behind Xiong Chu suddenly moved, his figure flashing as he executed a sword technique called "Great Peng Spreading Its Wings," slashing diagonally. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Serpent Demon Marquis Tiancheng, you seek death!"

There are two shocking aspects of Xiong Chuzhen

Xiong Chu originally did not know what these seven transgender individuals intended to do, so he held the hilt of his sword but did not take action. Now, upon hearing about Wang Yuanwai, the Fire God Sect, and especially the Eastern Depot, he finally moved.

Certainly, if these seven individuals were all disciples of the Beggar's Sect, then the weapons in their hands could be considered somewhat acceptable; however, they are clearly not disciples of the Beggar's Sect

With a single gesture, every movement, twisting the waist and swaying the hips, resembles the wind blowing through the willows. If these actions were performed by the Seven Fairies descending to the mortal realm, they would undoubtedly be breathtakingly beautiful. However, when placed upon seven middle-aged men, it is not merely unusual, but exceedingly bizarre

A three-inch bamboo leaf green, such an exquisite little snake, is actually carved from top-quality jade! Its emerald green body, flesh-colored tongue, and vermilion eyes are vividly lifelike

Prior to this, Xiong Chu had accompanied Xiaoyaozi on two missions, resulting in the deaths of one hundred and nine individuals. It can be said that when it comes to resilience and determination, Xiong Chu is undoubtedly a prominent figure among people of his age.

The long sword of Xiong Chu weighs only 4.5 pounds, allowing him to thrust out seventy-two swords towards the sun in the span of three breaths

The snake demon, Hou Tiancheng, pretended to be surprised, as if he had only just noticed the two skilled Imperial Guards: "Oh, so there are officials from the Imperial Guards here. Allow me to pay my respects to you, esteemed sir."

If it were not for the quick reaction of that skilled Jinyiwei, Xiong Chugen would have had no idea what was happening and would have fallen dead on the spot. At this moment, Xiong Chugen gained a deeper understanding of the so-called martial world.

Oh, I didn't expect to find a little sister here. It's quite frightening in this desolate mountain wilderness. Why don't you come with me, and I will buy you some candy.

However, such a bizarre scene of battle in the martial world was truly unprecedented, leaving Xiong Chu feeling somewhat at a loss. He was very aware that he had already died once.

The serpent demon, Hou Tiancheng, twisted her waist, transferring the bamboo-joint steel whip to her left hand, while her right hand flicked forward with an elegant gesture: "Oh dear, look at what you are saying, my esteemed official. I am but a person of humble origins; rebellion is a grave sin that warrants the extermination of nine clans, a burden I cannot bear."

The first is the astonishment at Xia Yun's perceptiveness regarding the external environment. Xia Yun sensed the arrival of someone three breaths before I did and determined that the person was an enemy

Xiong Chu raised his eyes and saw that where the sword light passed, it unexpectedly emitted a clear sound of "ding" in the void. Subsequently, a small object fell to the ground in front of Xiong Chu, about ten feet away from the book.

The nine-section thirteen-joint bamboo steel whip is jet black and shiny, glimmering with a cold light. It is also about three fingers in thickness and four feet in length. If crafted from high-quality steel, its weight would not be less than fifty pounds

What is even more unusual is that these seven middle-aged men not only wear flamboyant outfits, but also have makeup on their faces, adorned with extravagant headgear, and their gestures and movements are strikingly feminine.

The action completed by Xia Yun in an instant seemed as if it were about to determine life and death, leaving Xiong Chu utterly perplexed

The emerald green fitted top, paired with bright red lantern pants tied at the legs. This individual swayed their bamboo whip in the right hand with each of the first three steps, while the left hand brushed through the bangs on their forehead, twisting their waist, which was thicker than a barrel, three times.

However, it is quite surprising to suddenly leap out from the depths of the dense forest using lightness skills without any prior indication

However, after three breaths, Xiong Chu had already understood Xia Yun's meaning

There is no doubt that the Seven Demons of Dongting are coming to kill him. Xiong Chu is perplexed, wondering how he has offended these monsters when he has not even ventured outside.

Suddenly, a robust man dressed in colorful garments emerged behind the snake demon Hou Tiancheng. His snow-white attire was entirely embroidered with emerald green butterflies, causing Xiong Chu to feel a chill run down his spine.

Xiong Chu did not expect that the person opposite him was actually called She Yao Hou Tiancheng, who had just been posturing to attract all of his attention.

This scene left Xiong Chu feeling alarmed, with cold sweat trickling down his back, and his right hand gripping the sword hilt at m. hetushu. comcom trembling slightly

After witnessing these bizarre actions of the burly man, Xiong Chu felt a rising urge to vomit, fortunately, he had hardly eaten anything in the past half month

Miss Xia Yun was not shocked, and the two skilled Jinyiwei who accompanied her, dressed in raincoats and wearing bamboo hats, also showed no signs of surprise

The concept of three breaths is something Xiong Chu understands very well. Because within the span of three breaths, he can unleash seventy-two swords directed at the sun.

However, as soon as this guy opened his mouth, Xiong Chu could no longer hold back and began to retch. If it weren't for the current situation, Xiong Chu would have surely vomited his bile.

The world is vast and full of wonders, and there is no need to make a fuss over trivial matters

With a clang, the sword was sheathed, and the skilled officer of the Jinyiwei spoke in a deep voice: "Since you are aware that we, the Jinyiwei, are here on official business, how dare you intervene? Do you intend to rebel?"

The butterfly spoke: "Your Excellency, that statement is incorrect. Matters of the jianghu belong to the jianghu; this is a matter of natural justice. Furthermore, our Fire God Sect is not a mere drifting weed; everyone has their own foundation. The Eastern Depot is not idle either; this case originally pertains to us in the Eastern Depot, so there is no need for Your Excellency to intervene."

With a strange cackling laugh, Xiong Chu saw seven men flying out in succession from the dense forest to the southwest, all of whom were middle-aged men dressed in peculiar attire

Xiong Chu has never practiced martial arts; he has merely trained in a single killing move. In terms of many martial arts fundamentals, this is considered to be at an idiot level. Therefore, upon witnessing such bizarre occurrences, he is naturally very shocked

The Jinyiwei are the most central figures beside the emperor, so as soon as they speak, they immediately bestow upon the other party a serious accusation, branding them with the grave crime of rebellion and treason

Xiong Chu's movement was quite simple; as he stepped forward, he raised his right hand and thrust a sword forward.

If it were to be replaced with a long sword weighing forty-five jin, and if it could still be called a long sword, whether it could deliver a thrust remains unknown

There may be nothing else on Earth, but there are many people; it is quite normal for seven middle-aged men to walk anywhere.

Seven middle-aged men leaped out from the depths of the dense forest, and their brightly colored athletic attire not only evoked surprise but also clearly seemed abnormal

"That is not how the matter is presented! We, the sisters, are not here to create a ruckus, but to seek justice for the thirty-one members of the Wang family in Xinan County who were brutally murdered, upholding the principles of righteousness in the martial world"

Now, Xiong Chu has completely understood that the various bizarre behaviors of the Seven Demons of Dongting are all part of a carefully designed trap. If one does not understand the details, anyone who encounters the Seven Demons of Dongting for the first time will inevitably fall into their scheme, leading to irreversible consequences

From the moment the serpent demon Hou Tiancheng emerged, to the three-inch bamboo leaf falling to the ground, everything occurred in the blink of an eye

At least from Xiong Chu's perspective, Xia Yun and the other two did not appear shocked. This was because their faces were all covered with veils, making it impossible to discern any change in their expressions.

The case of the butterfly in Xin'an is deeply intertwined, and our Jinyiwei has taken it on, continuously conducting follow-up investigations. Outsiders are strictly prohibited from intervening

The second point is the astonishment at the seven middle-aged men before me, wielding weapons that are unprecedented and unheard of.

Unexpectedly, the serpent demon Hou Tiancheng, while brushing aside his bangs, harbored a significant conspiracy. His various exaggerated and bizarre movements were merely a ruse to divert the enemy's attention. At the very moment when the enemy's focus faltered, he surprisingly hurled a hairpin as a concealed weapon.

Xiong Chu was well aware that even if they were indeed disciples of the Beggar's Sect, this peculiar Dog-Driving Stick was far too heavy. Without a strength of six hundred pounds in his right arm, it would be impossible to use it to drive away dogs

When seven burly men, each as thick as a water bucket, twisted their snake-like waists and stood still, Xiong Chu was secretly astonished

Since this is the case, we, the Jinyiwei, are on a secret mission here. Why are you still lingering and causing a disturbance?

Undoubtedly, in the span of three breaths, Xia Yun would certainly not thrust out seventy-two swords, for she only needs to thrust out one sword to suffice

I was wondering who it was, and it turns out to be the Seven Demons of Dongting! Under the broad daylight, you dare to cause trouble in front of me; you must be tired of living

Without the slightest awareness, he was consecutively struck by seventy-two swords from the enemy. Xiong Chu knew that the only outcome would be that he would have seventy-two transparent holes in his body

Miss Xia Yun stood before Xiong Chu, her left hand clasped behind her back, while her beautiful right hand circled her abdomen, continuously tapping the hilt of the long sword beneath her left rib. Her lips moved as if they were the song of a valley oriole. However, to Xiong Chu's ears, there was a distinct and chilling aura of murderous intent.
