Chapter 151: A Hero Cuts Off His Arm

Pei Xiaolou, holding a bamboo stick, appeared in this hidden backyard and looked around: "It's so lively."

Old Lei stood up from the recliner and clasped his fists and said: "Meet Master Pei."

Pei Xiaolou looked at Old Lei: "The two thunders of the 'Heavenly Court', Thunder Lord and Marshal Lei, the two winds of the 'Heavenly Court', Feng Bo and Feng Marshal Feng, the two old men of Feng Lei, are powerful in the world, and I have heard of your great names for a long time."

"I really don't deserve it." Old Lei was very humble.

Pei Xiaolou smiled slightly, stopped talking nonsense, and directly raised the bamboo stick in his hand, which burst out countless streams of light, like tiny meteors, dragging tails and dancing.

Old Lei stood in front of Yuan Chongzong and ordered: "Send Mr. Yuan away from here."

The two walked out of the shadows, dressed in clean and neat clothes, with short knives hanging on their waists, and came to Yuan Chongzong's side.

Yuan Chongzong's expression changed, and finally he sighed and left with the two.

The reason why the account books were chosen to be burned here was because there was a tunnel in the back hall that led out of Yuan Garden and directly to the outside of the city.

Yuan Chongzong and the two came to the back hall, and a huge relief sculpture "The Great Taoist Ancestor Exiting the Seclusion to Convert the Hu" came into view. The Great Taoist Ancestor and the blue bull under his seat were the same size as real people and were lifelike.

Yuan Chongzong went straight to the relief sculpture, and saw the blue bull under the Taoist Ancestor shaking its head and tail. He reached out and pressed the horns of the blue bull, and the horns of the relief sculpture could actually turn like a watch needle. Only the sound of "click, click, click" mechanism was heard, and the ground turned over, revealing a downward hole, and a stone staircase leading to the underground could be seen.

Yuan Chongzong walked in first, and the two followed closely.

On the other side, Lei Lao casually slapped away the small meteors that shot towards him, his robes fluttered, and countless black air gathered upwards.

Although he was the Lei Marshal among the four marshals of the "Heavenly Court", what he learned had nothing to do with thunder magic, but he just made up the name.

A black cloud appeared above Lei Lao's head, and a black dragon more than ten feet long could be vaguely seen, which was completely condensed from clouds and water vapor, and was lifelike, with its fangs and claws bared.

The bridge connecting heaven and earth, stealing the power of heaven and earth, this is the heavenly man.

The black dragon fell down with a mighty power, and hit Pei Xiaolou directly.

Pei Xiaolou shook the bamboo stick in his hand, and dozens of small meteors with trails of light moved together, shuttled back and forth, and shot at the black dragon, passing through the body, stirring up countless ripples, and finally both disappeared together.

Lei Lao stepped on the ground to leave a large area of ​​cracks, and his figure was like a long rainbow. He came in front of Pei Xiaolou and pushed him out with one palm.

Pei Xiaolou backhanded the stick, bringing a whistling wind.

The two separated as soon as they touched, and pulled a few feet away.

Pei Xiaolou did not stop moving at all, and slammed the bamboo stick in his hand to the ground, and whispered: "Get up!"

A stream of light as thick as an arm broke out of the ground, like a rainbow and a dragon.

Without dodging, Lei Lao crushed the stream of light with one foot, which exploded into countless scattered tiny meteors. Those who were responsible for burning the account books did not even have time to scream before they were pierced through the body by these scattered streams of light, and died.

Pei Xiaolou's face was slightly gloomy. He stepped on the tip of his toes, stepped out a circle of qi ripples, and moved gracefully. In an instant, he came in front of Lei Lao and hit Lei Lao's face with his bamboo stick.

Lei Lao, who had expected this, changed his palm into a claw and went straight to Pei Xiaolou's middle door.

The two crossed each other, and Pei Xiaolou left a blood mark on Lei Lao's forehead. Lei Lao retracted his right hand, put his index and middle fingers on the stick, and pressed his thumb from below, trying to break the bamboo stick and destroy it, but unexpectedly Pei Xiaolou loosened the handle of the stick in an instant, pressed his left hand on the head of the stick and pushed it forward suddenly.

Lei Lao simply stopped caring about the bamboo stick, and took advantage of the situation to hit the mountain with his shoulder, trying to smash Pei Xiaolou's chest.

Pei Xiaolou let the bamboo stick fall to the ground, and used the Taiping Dao's unique skill "Wuji Jin" to take the blow from Lei Lao.

This exchange of attack and defense was just a blink of an eye, and the two separated again.

Lei Lao slid back, plowing two deep grooves on the solid bluestone floor.

Pei Xiaolou was not feeling well either. He was hit by Lei Lao's Qi and drifted back, emitting a series of Qi ripples.

Lei Lao stepped suddenly, stepping on a large circle of cracks, forcibly stopping his retreat, and then shot out, instantly catching up with Pei Xiaolou who was retreating, and swept his arm.

Although Pei Xiaolou blocked this sweep, he was still shaken sideways by the huge force contained in Lei Lao's arm. Lei Lao took advantage of the situation to chase him and stepped on Pei Xiaolou's chest again. At the last moment, Pei Xiaolou slapped his palm downwards, using the force of the recoil to suppress the momentum of defeat. At the same time, he stood up with the force, turned sideways to avoid Lei Lao's palm, and retreated again.

Lei Lao bent his knees slightly, and his body flew out like an arrow from a bow, hooking his five fingers and grabbing down on the head.

Pei Xiaolou pinched his fingers, and the bamboo stick that left his hand came in an instant, knocking Lei Lao sideways and knocking down a section of the courtyard wall.

Although the two did not completely let go, the aftermath of the fight almost razed the small courtyard here to the ground, and the ashes of the account books flew all over the sky, and it was no longer possible to see what was written on them.

Lei Lao stood up, patted the ashes on his body, and smiled: "Master Pei, you failed to handle the case this time, causing the criminal to commit suicide, the accounts to be destroyed, and a large amount of stolen money to be missing. I don't know how to explain to the geomancer?"

Pei Xiaolou's face changed, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

In the tunnel, Yuan Chongzong walked in the middle, one person led the way in front, and one person was responsible for the rear.

After all, no one had walked through this tunnel since it was dug, and the road was rugged, even Yuan Chongzong was not familiar with it.

Yuan Chongzong's face was gloomy.

Since Pei Xiaolou appeared, he knew that the Yuan family was finished, and his years of hard work were destroyed. Because Pei Xiaolou represented not him personally, but the attitude of Quanzhen Dao, plus Zhang Yuelu, who represented the attitude of Jinque, it showed that the upper echelons of the Dao had reached a consensus on the surface. Even if the Yuan family could escape this time, they could not escape the next time.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this day. In recent years, he began to transfer his family property and set up some businesses in Nanyang, and he also had the capital to make a comeback.

Yuan Chongzong said: "You two, my son..."

The person who led the way in front replied: "Please rest assured, Mr. Yuan, we have also arranged it. Mr. Yuan will see Mr. Yuan soon."

Yuan Chongzong was a little relieved, and his thoughts shifted to Nanyang, where he had not been for many years.

At this moment, Yuan Chongzong suddenly felt a pain in his back, and slowly lowered his head. He saw a knife tip protruding from his chest, and blood dripped down.

The voice of the person in charge of the rear guard came: "Mr. Yuan, you will soon be able to go to Huangquan Road to meet Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yuan. It is a wonderful thing for three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to live together."

Yuan Chongzong's eyes widened. After all, he was a master in the Return to the True Reality stage. He was not dead yet and still had the strength to struggle.

At this moment, the person in charge of clearing the way in front also turned around, like a ghostly shadow, and crashed into Yuan Chongzong's arms. Another knife passed through his heart.

Yuan Chongzong's true energy began to disappear rapidly.

Before he died, Yuan Chongzong finally knew why Lei Lao said "you don't understand".

He really didn't understand. The "absolutely safe" in the mouths of the two old men Feng Lei was indeed sending him away, but not to go to the South Sea, but to the underworld.

The two trusted subordinates of Lei Lao were originally in the Return to the True Reality stage. With two against one, and sneak attacks, it was naturally easy to succeed.

However, in order to ensure that there was no mistake, the two men continued to make a few more cuts.

In the dead silence of the tunnel, only the sound of the blade piercing the body could be heard.

Finally, with a dull sound, Yuan Chongzong's body fell heavily to the ground.

One of them took out the strong kerosene and poured it on the body, and then ignited it directly.

Almost at the same time, raging fires broke out in various places in Yuan Garden.

The governor of Huzhou and the garrison commander-in-chief both had good cultivation, so the flames naturally could not hurt them. They quickly left the fire scene, but their faces were not good.

No one expected that the situation would change so quickly and deteriorate to such an extent.

The two walked out of the gate of Yuan Garden and turned around to look. The heat wave hit them in the face. The fire had already burned up from the roof of the eaves, illuminating most of the night.

Because the two frontier officials were on the scene, the various government offices in the city responded very quickly, from the governor's office, the criminal prosecution office, the prefectural government office, the county government office, and the Qingluan Guard Qianhu Office and the black-clothed barracks, all of them were dispatched and rushed over quickly.

But this fire was intentional, not an accident. There was not only kerosene prepared in advance, but also various talismans to fuel the fire, so the fire spread very quickly. Even if the government responded quickly, it could not put it out. It could only choose to demolish the house to form an isolation zone to prevent it from spreading outward, and then wait for the fire in Yuan Garden to extinguish itself.

In the sea of ​​fire, Lei Lao and Pei Xiaolou were still confronting each other.

Lei Lao made a gesture of breaking his wrist and smiled, "Do you think we will be as indecisive as last time?"
