Fighter of the Destiny

More than ten warships of the Great Zhou Navy appeared on the upper and lower reaches of the Xiajiang River, and there were many soldiers from the Shennu Battalion on board.

The sound of breaking through the sky sounded, and many experts from the imperial court landed on the beach and chased towards Fengyang County.

Several Taoists in fluttering green clothes swept out from the mountains and forests on the other side, tapped on the navy boat, and landed on the riverside.

These Qingyi Taoists have cold expressions and unfathomable realms. They are holding Taoist swords and come from Changchun Temple in Luoyang.

Worn leather boots stepped on the stone steps where the morning dew had not dried.

Tea sellers and passers-by on both sides of the stone steps looked at the approaching figure and subconsciously stepped back, not knowing whether it was because of fear or shame.

Xiao Zhang didn't even glance at those people, nor did he pay attention to the court masters who were rushing over. He held the iron gun and continued walking upward with an expressionless face.

A few exclamations came from an unknown street corner, and then quickly disappeared. Among the slightly chaotic crowd, crossbow arrows emitting a faint cold light could be vaguely seen.

The Taoist priests in green robes flew up to the stone steps like cranes and came behind Xiao Zhang, with solemn expressions on their faces, ready to take action at any time.

The road from the riverside to Qibao Village in Fengyang County is all made of stone steps. Some good people have counted more than 7,000 steps in total.

For an ordinary person, it would take a long time to finish.

But for a character like Xiao Zhang, even if he is seriously injured, it still doesn't take long.

After a while, he came to the middle of the stone steps. There was a small grass garden beside the street.

Dozens of people stood on the grass and under the winter trees, looking at him with mixed emotions, a little scared and a little uneasy.

Suddenly, an extremely dim sword light that was difficult to attract attention penetrated the vegetable basket held by a citizen and stabbed Xiao Zhang.

This is a position that is difficult for anyone to imagine. This sword is very insidious.

Xiao Zhang seemed to have been prepared. With a low groan, the iron gun in his hand rose into the air, carrying the violent wind, and accurately hit the sword light.

With a crisp sound, the sword light suddenly shattered into countless pieces. The assassin hidden in the crowd retreated miserably and hit the winter tree heavily.

Leaves fell on the assassin's body, and were stained red by the blood spurting out.

The assassin looked horrified and wanted to stand up and run away, but was unable to stand up.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang just glanced at the assassin, ignored him, and continued walking up the stone steps.

Chen Changsheng and others had already left the teahouse and were standing behind the crowd.

Looking at this scene, Tang Sanshiliu praised: "What a good method."

On the night of the Tianshu Mausoleum incident and in the following days, Xiao Zhang had always been a very difficult enemy of the state religion, but after he rescued Wang Po by the Luoshui River, the situation had changed. At least in Tang Sanliu's view, this strong man who should be at the top of the Xiaoyao Ranking is a powerful foreign aid that our side must win over. Of course, he is emotionally inclined to him.

Listening to Tang Sanliu's praise, Hu Sanjiu said nothing, but Zhexiu shook his head, obviously having a different view.

"He was injured too seriously." Chen Changsheng said with some worry: "It's more serious than we thought."

Only then did Tang Thirty-Six understand.

According to Xiao Zhang's violent fighting method, if his combat power is still 67%, even if the assassin comes from Tianji Pavilion, he will definitely break his body and die in one move.

Even if the other party is lucky enough to survive, with Xiao Zhang's behavior, he will definitely take another shot to make the other party dead.

Now the assassin is not dead.

This can only mean that Xiao Zhang's injury was more severe than imagined, so severe that he was unwilling to lose the strength to fire another shot.

as expected.

Several court masters took advantage of the slight chaos in the crowd to attack Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang successfully fought off the court masters, and his body began to sway, as if he would fall down in the next moment.

"There are new injuries, but more of them are old ones."

Zhe Xiu, like Xiao Zhang, both regard fighting as their life, have very accurate vision, and clearly see Xiao Zhang's problem.

After being hunted by the imperial court for three full years and fighting without sleep, Xiao Zhang would still feel tired even if his body was made of iron.

Once he gets tired, his reaction speed will inevitably slow down and he will be prone to injury.

Once he begins to be injured, he will continue to suffer more serious injuries until his true energy is exhausted, exhausted, and no longer capable of fighting.

He is a powerful person on the Xiaoyao Ranking at the pinnacle of gathering stars. It can be said that he is a rare opponent under the divine, just like a lone giant beast in the wasteland. However, after being chased by the masters of the imperial court like a carrion-eating vulture for so many days and fighting for such a long distance, one day he would eventually collapse.

Xiao Zhang finally arrived at the highest point of Fengyang County.

He stood in front of Qibao Village, looking at the gorge river below, and narrowed his eyes.

The rising sun has passed over the mountain peaks, and the sunlight is very strong. It shines on the mountains and rivers, making it dazzling.

He could clearly see that the imperial experts and soldiers from the Shennu Battalion had surrounded the entire Fengyang City.

Although he was not distracted, he was a little upset, as if he had seen a lingering swarm of flies.

A person like Xiao Zhang may feel that he does look like a lone giant beast in the wilderness, but he will never admit that the court masters who have been chasing him for several years are vultures. To him, these guys are like annoying mosquitoes and flies. , buzzing in my ears every day, making it difficult for me to sleep peacefully, which is why I am so sleepy.

Yes, I'm just a little sleepy.

He felt that he just wanted to sleep, otherwise why would his eyelids become so heavy, otherwise why would his lips be numb, otherwise why would he be caught up by these people.

The sleepiness is getting thicker and thicker, and his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier. Even he can't tell whether he is squinting or has closed.

The morning sun shines on Fengyang City and also on his face.

He shook twice and then fell to the ground.

However, he did not roll down the stone steps.

With a muffled sound, the tail of the iron gun plunged heavily into the ground, helping him support his extremely tired body at the most dangerous moment.

Seeing this scene, those people who had never forgotten the benefits Xiao Zhang had brought to Fengyang City couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned their heads, while some stood up.

The first to stand up were a tea merchant from Fengyang County and more than a dozen clerks from the tea shop.

"Protect Mr. Xiao!"

The tea merchant yelled through gritted teeth, and led the guys to the stone steps of Qibao Village. He stopped in front of Xiao Zhang and took out the sword he usually used to protect himself when selling tea. The pole used to pick goods was aimed at the court experts who were getting closer and closer.

As a tea merchant, you will inevitably encounter some troubles when selling tea. In Fengyang County, there will inevitably be some conflicts between colleagues. However, this tea merchant has a tough temperament and his men are also very tough. They are quite famous in the city, but how can they stop those imperial experts and the divine crossbow camp?

But then, more tea merchants and people joined them.

The stone steps of Qibao Village were soon filled with people.
