"Tie him up first. Family Head He, go back to your room first. Long Jiang, the few of you protect Family Head He!”
Then, Chu Yurong sat in the courtyard and closed her eyes to rest. The lieutenants of the city gates were naturally Li Du Wei's subordinates. The He family head and Chu Yurong had already discussed this, so they naturally would not listen to Li Shan's suggestion.
A bright moon hung high in the sky. Chu Yurong sat on the stone bench with her eyes closed and did not move. The moonlight shone on Chu Yurong's body, making him look like a stone statue. Time seemed to have stopped, and he did not feel out of place with the stone table. The late night breeze blew slowly, causing her clothes to flutter in the wind. Time seemed to come alive again, swaying in the air.
The roof tiles around the courtyard made a crisp and short sound of hitting each other. As they got closer and closer, the sound of fighting could also be heard from the front door of the He residence.
"Since you're here, why don't you come out? You're too bold, brazenly barging into the residence of the Official. Could it be that you've assassinated the City Lord's General and want to eliminate the roots of the problem?”
After Chu Yurong finished speaking, more than ten men in black appeared from the surrounding rooftops. They held bows and arrows and aimed at Chu Yurong, who was sitting cross-legged. They did not wait for Chu Yurong to say anything.
"Shoot!"
One of the men in black gave the order and more than ten arrows flew towards Chu Yurong. Chu Yurong was already prepared. She raised the water ball and formed a water curtain that was more than ten feet wide above her head. The arrows could not penetrate it and were all embedded in it. Chu Yurong didn't stand on ceremony. Her palm turned and slapped upwards. The pool of water flipped under the moonlight. The arrow flew upwards and flew around the roof. Several people around were shot by the arrow and rolled down.
At this time, a large number of figures broke into the courtyard. They were all soldiers. When they saw the men in black fall from the roof, they rushed towards Chu Yurong with their knives. Chu Yurong did not stand on ceremony. Without waiting for these people to get close, she whipped them with her whip. These people seemed to be weightless. They flew away with a whip and crashed into the corners. They either fell or changed their postures in the air. They fell straight to the ground and fell to the ground.
A soldier had just entered the courtyard when the whip flew past. The long saber in his hand was only left with the handle, and he could not help but be stunned on the spot.
Suddenly, someone kicked away the stunned soldiers and stepped into the courtyard. He said solemnly,
"Who are you?"
Chu Yurong had seen this person during the day. It was Li Duwei. Chu Yurong was surprised that she did not see this person's aura during the day. Now, under the shadow of the courtyard wall, she found that he was a martial artist at Lv 10 Qi Cultivation Realm.
Chu Yurong welcomed the coldness and said calmly,
"I am a disciple of the Qiyun Sect. You are not my opponent, and you should not have attacked the He Residence at night. I don't care about the other matters in the city, but you cannot kill people here.”
"Qiyun Sect…you are the legendary hermit?”
Li Duwei was a little surprised, but he didn't seem to give up.
"No matter who you are, as long as you hand over Official He, I will immediately order you to withdraw from the He residence!”Li Duwei said firmly.
In fact, Li Du Wei had a strong belief in his heart. Yes, he was the one who killed the City Lord. When the City Lord announced that he would follow the Emperor's posthumous edict, he was furious because he was once the Crown Prince's personal guard. He had been in contact with the Crown Prince all this while. Now that the throne was on the side and the City Lord was supporting the Eighth Prince, he had to raise an army as soon as possible.
Although his official position was not low, he could only control the city lord's guards and a portion of the soldiers stationed in the city. After the City Lord died, he did not find the Tiger Tally. Perhaps only Official He knew where it was. Moreover, Official He controlled the city's money and food. Even if the hidden master was mysterious, he had to capture Official He.
Chu Yurong was a little surprised when she heard Li Duwei's firm request. In his opinion, no matter what, someone who had reached the tenth level of Qi Refinement should know some rumors about the sect's cultivators. However, the other party still refused to give up. He also had a mission and would definitely not agree to his request.
"Since you insist, I also want to know how strong the tenth level of Qi Refinement is.”After saying that, he took the lead and lashed out at the other party.
Li Duwei gripped his broadsword tightly and slapped the red whip away. The broadsword was lackluster under the moonlight.
Chu Yurong thought to herself,
"You are indeed very strong."
He had to infuse some ling power into the spirit whip, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to offset the force.
After seven or eight moves, Li Duwei struck with great force and split the whip. He approached Chu Yurong at an extremely fast speed and punched with his left hand. How could Chu Yurong dodge in a hurry? She knew that she had underestimated her opponent. She hurriedly touched her waist and leaned back. At the same time, she raised her hand to slap the incoming fist.
"Crack…"
It turned out that Chu Yurong was holding Tao Jian's small shield in his hand. Before he could use it, he could only use it to meet the fist. However, it was a magic weapon, but it actually cracked and shattered. Moreover, the residual power shook Chu Yurong's arm until it went numb. Chu Yu secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, she had already achieved initial success in the second level of the Peeping Water. Otherwise, she would have been crippled.
Chu Yurong borrowed Li Du Wei's strength and used the Light Body Technique to quickly pull away from Li Du Wei, making Li Du Wei's next attack miss.
Li Duwei stomped on the ground and stabbed forward with his saber. His body suddenly leaped up like a fish and his speed suddenly increased.
"Body Refining Technique!"
Chu Yurong was shocked. There were many types of body cultivation techniques, which were fundamentally different from Qi cultivation. Not only was it powerful and fast, but it also improved the toughness of the body in all aspects. And the second level of his Water Glimpse belonged to the scope of body tempering in a sense.
In a moment of desperation, Chu Yurong twirled the whip twice, twisted the blade, and pulled it to the side. At the same time, her left hand condensed a water ball and pushed it out.
Bang! Li Duwei was knocked back, but he wasn't seriously injured.
Chu Yurong did not dare to be negligent. She injected a large amount of spiritual energy into the long whip and suddenly pulled it out. At the same time, she summoned a flying sword and shot it at Li Duwei. Li Duwei seemed to know that something was wrong. After dodging the long whip, he directly met the flying sword.
At this time, Chu Yurong already had a countermeasure. She used the spiritual weapon to quickly counterattack and did not dare to use any spells that were slightly delayed.
Li Du Wei split open the flying sword that was piercing towards him. Chu Yurong lashed out at Li Du Wei's abdomen with her whip. She made a hand seal, and when the flying sword returned, Li Du Wei dodged it, but there was another whip mark on his face.
Chu Yurong did not give him a chance to get close at all. Even though Li Duwei had practiced body tempering, after dozens of consecutive lashes, Li Duwei was seriously injured and hit the wall. His entire body was covered in injuries. Chu Yurong also consumed a lot of energy and consumed a recovery pill.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Another group of soldiers surrounded them. Chu Yurong focused her attention and stared.
"Where is Official He?" The person who spoke was the deputy city lord. The uniforms of the soldiers were also different from before.
He Chong hurriedly came out of the inner room.
"Vice City Lord, you're finally here. Look, Li Duwei insisted on capturing me. Moreover, he attacked in the middle of the night and killed many of my guards.”
It turned out that He Chong knew that Li Duwei was going to kill his way to the city, so he sent someone to ask the deputy city lord for help. However, he only came after he was done. He was probably the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Chu Yurong's disdain was obvious.
The Vice City Lord looked at the unconscious and heavily injured Li Duwei by the wall and said in surprise,
"Official He, don't worry. Li Du Wei and the City Lord's death are highly suspicious. Tonight, he tried to harm Official He and his family in the He Residence. It seems that there must be a great connection. Men, take Li Du Wei away and put him in prison.”
"Thank you, Vice City Lord, for your insight!" He worshiped.
"You guys deal with the corpses of the He residence. Official He, I have something to tell you!”The Vice City Lord turned around and said to He Chong.
