"The setup has been set up. Three great thieves, dance to your heart's content on the stage I have prepared for you.”
Hong Chen placed the empty wine glass upside down on the table.
With a wine pot in one hand and a small dish in the other, he climbed onto the roof of the restaurant and found the best spot to watch the next performance.
Fifty soldiers and archers from the imperial guards at the Meridian Gate had left.
A muscular, bare-chested tattooed man appeared at the Meridian Gate Square.
" Who's there?!"
Just as one of the imperial guards shouted, the muscular man opened his wide arms and smashed eight black balls between his ten fingers.
"That's…"
The pupils of the leading imperial guards captain constricted as he shouted in horror,""That's a bomb, quaking thunder!”
Before he could finish his sentence, the eight black balls fell to the ground and exploded violently.
The fire and thick smoke bloomed like blood-red spider lilies.
"Boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The explosive power of the quaking thunders shattered the bricks and stones on the Meridian Gate Square.
The Imperial Guards nearby were all thrown off their feet, screaming and falling to the ground.
Formation.
It was immediately disrupted.
Hong Chen sat on the roof of a restaurant far away from the Meridian Gate and said in a low voice,"Thief King Zhao Heikui's explosives are indeed powerful.”
"I didn't expect him to choose to attack head-on. As expected of a bandit.”
Zhao Heikui laughed loudly and threw out explosive quaking thunders with both hands.
"Hahahaha! If you don't want to be blown up by me, hurry up and hand over the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting!”
"Don't even think about it!"
"Commandant Xiao of the Imperial Guards, lead a group of Imperial Guards and immediately bring the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting to the Imperial Palace. We can't let this thief snatch the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting!"”
"As for the rest of the Imperial Guards, follow me and surround this arrogant thief!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Understood!"
Commandant Xiao, who was in the Imperial Guards, quickly rolled up the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting and led 50 Imperial Guards soldiers and 10 archers back to the Imperial Palace.
The remaining Guards soldiers and the other Guards Lieutenant surrounded the Bandit King Zhao Heikui.
"Hahahaha, don't even think about escaping!”
Zhao Heikui, the Bandit King, roared and slammed his fists together."Iron Skin!"
Zhao Heikui activated the elemental energy in his body and circulated the Iron Skin Technique.
Under the exertion of Origin Power, the martial arts had the power of divine arts, causing Zhao Heikui's sturdy body to flow with a layer of steel-like metallic color.
Zhao Heikui took out a handful of quaking thunders with both hands and threw them at the imperial guards who were surrounding them. He also chased after Xiao Xiaowei and the others who were retreating to the palace.
"Do you think I don't exist?!" Another lieutenant shouted angrily.”
" Blazing Fire Cloud Palm!!"
As the lieutenant shouted, the force in his palms surged. Under the circulation of scorching fire elemental energy, his palms burned with raging flames as he slapped toward Zhao Heikui.
When Zhao Heikui was stopped, Xiao Xiaowei led the remaining Imperial Guards and quickly retreated to the palace behind the Meridian Gate.
"Go to the Echo Corridor and send the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting back to the treasure vault as quickly as possible!”
Xiao Xiaowei said decisively.
"Commandant Xiao, hand over the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting to me. Let me handle the rest of the journey.”
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded.
Before Xiao Xiaowei could react, a guard behind him suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him in the back.
"You…"
Xiao Xiaowei opened his eyes wide and coughed up blood.
However, Commandant Xiao did not fall. He turned around and struck out with his palm. The palm force was powerful and heavy, sending the Imperial Guards who had ambushed him flying.
The hard armor of this Imperial Guard caved in, leaving a clear palm mark.
"Yin Buyan, it's been hard on you. I, Chu Xiang, will keep the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting for you.”
A long and thin whip was swung up from the wall.
He accurately rolled up the painting of the Five-clawed True Dragon in Xiao Xiaowei's hand and pulled it hard.
At this moment, Xiao Xiaowei was on the verge of death. He no longer had the strength to hold on to the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting, causing the painting to be swept away by the whip.
"Chu Xiangliu, don't even think about getting your way!”
Yin Buyan flipped his palm and a few sharp darts appeared between his fingers before he threw them out.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
When the whip swept the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting into the air, the dart flew over with a fierce momentum and accurately hit the whip.
The whip exploded with a " pa " sound, and the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting fell to the ground.
Chu Xiang tiptoed and prepared to fly down from the top of the wall to pick up the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting.
At this moment, at the corner of the corridor, the imperial guards chasing after him appeared.
"It's him, the arsonist!"
"Archers, shoot! Shoot!"
"Whoosh whoosh…"
The archers who appeared aimed at Chu Xiangliu and fired their Divine Armament Meteor Crossbows.
"Shua shua…"
Arrows from the Divine Armament Meteor Crossbow were even fiercer than Yin Buyan's hidden weapons. The sound of air being torn apart was heard as they shot towards Chu Xiang Liu who was on the wall.
