Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1946: Demon Slayer (VI)

In the end, only two people were willing to help.

One is Chen He, who is alone and wants to cause trouble for the empire.

He is not opposed to cooperating with others now, and the Mohist School is one of the groups he is more willing to cooperate with - the Mohist School has a higher credibility and he does not have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

The other is Tian Heng, who is keen on making trouble.

His elder brother Tian Dan actually didn't want him to get involved, but Tian Heng did not always obey his elder brother's orders.

He felt that it was harmless for him to join in the fun, so he didn't listen to Tian Dan.

On the Mo family side, there are only three little ones, and the other masters have not returned.

It’s not that they were too late, but that they were not called back at all.

For Master Ban, the goal has always been to cover the sun with the net.

There is only one of him, and at most there is another one hidden in secret, making a total of two masters.

With the current strength of Tianming and the other two, plus Chen and Tian Heng, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to capture them?

Until today, Tianming suddenly said that he had changed his target and would directly launch a surprise attack on Mirage and Yin-Yang Family.

The master of the operations class was quite opposed to Tianming's sudden change of target.

First of all, it's dangerous to do so.

Anyone can see the difference in risk between attacking the Yin-Yang family's masters on the Mirage and ambushing Luowang outside the city with only Yanri as the leader.

Although Tianming said that Xinghun and Dashao Siming had most likely left the Mirage, only four other people including Yueshen were left on the boat.

But even if there are only four people, Tianming and his team are not at an advantage.

Secondly, there is no benefit in doing so.

Tianming and his men can take down Yanri together. If there are more Tianzi killers, they can probably take him down. But if they go to Mirage to attack Yueshen and his men... they won't be able to kill anyone, and they may even lose.

However, Tianming insisted on launching a surprise attack on Mirage, and he also had an explanation for Master Ban’s concerns.

There is no need to say anything about the danger. Mirage is certainly dangerous, but if Yanri and Xinghun join forces, the danger of ambushing Luowang will be no less than a surprise attack on Mirage.

As for the benefits... when the Yueshen Xiangfu sisters and Yun Zhongjun get together, of course they can't gain anything.

But this action was a surprise attack, and the key lies in the word "surprise".

Yue Shen and the others had no idea that they would be attacked, so they must have been alone as usual.

They boarded the ship, identified the target and launched a surprise attack. Even if there was a big noise, at least it would not be difficult to take down the first target.

Tianming had everything planned out, and he would first launch a surprise attack on Yunzhongjun.

This old guy is so weak that if they attack together, they can take him down in twenty moves at most. If they are lucky, there may not be much noise, and they can find another target to attack.

However, he estimated that he could only take down two targets at most, and then the entire mirage would be alarmed.

Every top master is difficult to kill, let alone kill him silently.

Master Ban was ultimately unable to convince the persistent Tianming, and finally nodded in agreement to the action - mainly because he considered that even if the action failed, Tianming and his men would still have no problem escaping.

Then...Tianming and the others encountered the worst situation.

Confronting Tianming and his five companions were nine great masters including the five elders of the Yin-Yang family, the left and right protectors, and Luowang's two killers Yanri and Quexie!
The five of them were surrounded by the nine on the opposite side.

The whole process was very simple. Tianming and his companions followed the team transporting supplies and materials into the Mirage, and then went straight to the alchemy room to find trouble with Yun Zhongjun. Then they successfully found Yun Zhongjun, but also found the left and right guardians, Xinghun Yueshen.

Soon after, Yanri Quexie of Luowang appeared, and the other four of the five elders also showed up, blocking all the escape routes of Tianming and his companions.

It is obvious that the Empire has set up a trap.

Tianming and his friends thought that the Yin-Yang family and Luowang had joined forces, so they sent a few people to help Luowang deal with them.

The Yin-Yang family guessed that Tianming would change his target and set up an ambush in advance.

Tian Heng carried a big gun, his mouth twitched unnaturally, and he said to Tian Ming in a low voice:
"My little tyrant, your guess seems to be wrong... and it's a bit outrageous."

He wasn't blaming Tianming, but more of a teasing, just to relieve his stress.

This kind of mistake cannot be blamed on Tianming for not being smart enough or not thinking enough, because nesting dolls is not a game at all, it is purely a gamble.

It is just like the debate between Zhuangzi and Huizi about the answer to the question "If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?"

Under the premise that you are not a fish and you are not "me", whether "I" knows the joy of fish is only a probability for you, not an answer.

The same situation faced by Tianming was the same.

He is not a member of the Yin-Yang School, nor is he a member of Luowang. He has no way of knowing what the other party will do. He can only make reasonable guesses based on the existing information and then gamble on the probability.

This is the same for Yin-Yang School and Luowang.

This time they were a step ahead and blocked Tianming, but if Tianming changed his mind and decided to attack the transport convoy as planned, all their efforts would be in vain and they would have lost a large number of manpower and materials.

When you bet on probability, it has nothing to do with any subjective factors such as wisdom and decision-making; it is purely a matter of luck.

Hearing Tian Heng's ridicule, Tian Ming frowned and looked miserable, "It's my fault. I made a wrong prediction and caused trouble for everyone."

Shao Yu patted him and comforted him, "Don't worry about such things at this time."

Tianming shook his head helplessly, then looked at Moon God Star Soul, "It seems that you will have to pay for your previous 'gift'... I let you fool me before, so I was careless!"

The gift that Tianming was talking about was exactly the indulgence that the Yin-Yang family had given to Tianming before.

He has always been very clear that even if a pie fell from the sky for him, it would definitely not be made by the Yin-Yang School.

They are willing to indulge just to collect rewards later.

Tianming had been on guard against this incident, but Mirage suddenly went out to sea, as if he had forgotten about him.

This caused Tianming to gradually relax about the matter.

Although the return of the mirage rekindled Tianming's vigilance, it was difficult to tense up his already relaxed mood.

And because he knew that Mirage would not go out to sea again in the short term, he did not raise the priority of this matter and subconsciously put it aside for the time being.

Eventually, he was tricked by the Yin-Yang family and was trapped here.

"It seems that you understand everything. In that case, just surrender. We may show mercy to your companions." Xing Hun put his hands behind his back, laughed wildly a few times, and then began to persuade them to surrender.

Tianming was in a critical situation, and although he wanted to take action, he still suppressed his desire.

The Moon God and Star Soul reached a rare agreement and said in the same voice, "This is your fate. There is no need to struggle. This is good for you and your companions."

Tianming snorted coldly, took out the Feigong Transformation Sword with his right hand, and held the Canjian Shengxie with his left hand, performing a two-sword style - of course, he did not know how to use a two-handed sword, so the Shengxie in his left hand was just a dagger, simply coordinating with his right hand.

"You can let me surrender, but you Yin Yang Family members should tie yourselves up first, and then let my friend go."

"How about it?"

"Struggling is meaningless." With her eyes covered by a veil, there was no expression of emotion on the Moon Goddess's face. She just responded calmly.

Chen He drew out the Thunderbolt behind him and said to the others in a deep voice, "I'll cover you, you guys go!" "No one can leave!" Xing Hun waved his hands, and a deep purple flame-shaped air blade rose up instantly, and at the same time uttered a cruel word.

Of course, Xing Hun knew very well that they couldn't keep everyone here.

"I caused the trouble, so of course I will be the one to cover you. You guys seize every opportunity to escape!" Tianming stopped Chen He who wanted to take the first action, and took the task of covering you on himself.

"Tianming!" Shao Yu definitely couldn't let his good brother fall into danger, so he wanted to speak.

Tianming interrupted him, "Don't talk useless nonsense at this time!"

"There's no point in letting you cover my retreat. The Yin-Yang family will definitely not let me go."

"Don't be motivated!"

After saying that, Tianming took the lead and charged towards Xinghun.

Just as Tianming said, the people from the Yin-Yang family all targeted him, only Yanri and Quexie took the initiative to find others.

Although Tianming repeatedly emphasized that others should run fast, Chen He still chose to help him. The Thunder Sword in his hand flashed with brilliant golden electric light and slashed towards Xinghun.

Xinghun ignored Chen He and rushed straight towards Tianming with the Qi blades in both hands as if no one was around.

The eldest son Siming flashed out from behind Xinghun from the left and right, using one hand to perform the Yin-Yang Qi Seal and the other to perform the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers Flow, and together they intercepted Chen He.

However, the two of them were only blocking Chen He and had no intention of chasing him. Their attention was still on Tianming.

The Moon Goddess and the two sisters Ehuang and Nvying stood aside, watching the fight coldly. They did not rush to take action, but their positions were obviously to prevent Tianming from escaping.

The old guy Yun Zhongjun hid the farthest away, and seemed not to want to get involved at all.

Tian Heng protected Shao Yu and Shi Lan as they tried to break out from the encirclement of Yanri Quexie's sword.

They must break out as soon as possible while the other four people have not joined the battle, otherwise, everyone might really die here.

In just ten breaths, the door connecting the alchemy room to the corridor outside suddenly shattered and collapsed into debris all over the sky.

Along with these debris, Shao Yu Shi Lan rushed out first, followed closely by Tian Heng, swinging the spear in his hand into a full moon to block the relentless pursuit of Yanri Quexie.

On the other side, Tianming and Chen He joined forces and escaped from another door.

The three of Xinghun, the eldest son and Siming followed closely behind, and even the sisters Yueshen and Ehuang and Nvying, who did not take action, chased after them.

The Moon Goddess was not in a hurry to take action, for she was worried that if she pushed too hard, Tianming would enter some strange state again.

She had suffered a loss once, and had also heard that Luo Wang had suffered a loss before, so naturally she didn't want to happen again.

But people must keep a close eye on it and not relax for a moment.

Yun Zhongjun, who had been wandering around, hesitated for a moment and then followed Yue Shen and the others.

He didn't plan to take action, but it was still necessary to show his support.

………………

Without the support of the Yin-Yang masters, Yanri and Quexie were unable to keep Tian Heng and Shao Yu Shi Lan.

The three of them fought and retreated, and soon shook off the pursuing Yanri and Quexie and hid temporarily.

"No, I have to find Tianming!" As soon as he felt a little relieved, Shao Yu went to save Tianming.

Tian Heng held his spear horizontally and stopped him, "Boy, now is not the time to act rashly!"

Although he is also a man of temperament and often acts on impulse, he also knows that he must not act recklessly at this time.

Of course you have to save your teammates, but you can't do it by forcing them to die.

Shao Yu was a little bit angry, frowned and pushed away the other party's spear, "I will go alone! He is my brother, I must go!"

"Shao Yu!" Shi Lan pulled him from behind, "Calm down!"

Tian Heng gave a neutral laugh and replied, "He is your own brother, and you cannot save him now."

"If he was able to escape, it must have been due to luck, coincidence or something like that. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether you rescued him or not."

"On the contrary, if he can't get away, you will definitely not be able to save him if you go. You will only get yourself involved, and then there will be one less person for the subsequent rescue operation."

"No matter what the Yin-Yang family's purpose is, it is definitely not to kill him. There is always a chance before Mirage sets sail."

"You are the young master of the Xiang family after all. Didn't General Xiang Yan teach you the principle of keeping the green mountains?"

Tian Heng's verbal attack finally made Shao Yu suppress the impulse in his heart. His face was as gloomy as water, and he uttered one word through gritted teeth:

"go!"

After saying that, he rushed to the edge of the deck.

The escape route they planned today was simple: jumping into the sea.

Although Master Ban agreed with Tianming's plan, he also took additional measures within his ability to minimize the risks.

He drove the Xuanwu directly to the sea below the mirage, ready to pick up Tianming and the others at any time.

Normally, Master Ban would not let Xuanwu get too close to the mirage.

As one of the four spiritual beasts of the Mohist mechanism, although Xuanwu is not as well-known as Suzaku and Baihu, the old rival Gongshujia is still familiar enough.

There is no guarantee that there are no mechanical devices left by Gongshu Chou on the mirage to target underwater targets, which may pose a threat to Xuanwu.

The mechanical Xuanwu is very important to the Mohist School today, and it must not be lost. Master Ban does not want to take risks unless it is necessary.

………………

While Shao Yu and the other two escaped, Tian Ming and Chen He on the other side were in a much worse situation.

On a deck somewhere on the Mirage, after a dull bang, a large hole several meters long and wide was directly broken open on the deck.

The golden and thundering sword energy, carrying with it a cloud of wood debris, soared into the sky, and then Chen and Tianming rushed up.

Both of them looked a little embarrassed, and Chen He even had blood at the corner of his mouth.

In order to ensure that Tianming could not escape, at the signal of the Moon Goddess, the sisters Ehuang and Nvying also joined the battle.

Chen He pulled Tianming and fled while he had head-on confrontations with the five great masters of Yin Yang School to stop them. Even with the domineering Ben Lei Mentality Method, he still couldn't hold on and suffered internal injuries.

Following Tianming Chenhe, less than a second later, Xinghun and others also rushed out of the hole.

As soon as they came out, they immediately dispersed and blocked the way of Tianming Chen and the other two.

Once they reached an open area, Tianming Chen and the other two's goal of escaping became much simpler - as long as they found a way to jump into the sea, getting out would not be a problem.

But the Yin-Yang School can also fully utilize the advantage of having more people.

The terrain was narrow before, and it was difficult for Xinghun and the others to attack at the same time, which gave Chen and Tianming the opportunity to escape all the way here.

Even so, Chen He was still injured.

Now, the people from the Yin-Yang family can launch an attack at the same time, completely blocking all the ways of survival for Tianming and the others.
