Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 835 - 433: Eastern Country Liangdu (Part 2)
Looking closely, the palace city extends three miles around, with walls two zhang high, twice as thick, founded with pattern stone beneath and faced with green bricks, the battlements like teeth, sturdier than gold and stone. From afar, it appears as a series of palatial towers in continuity, their painted beams nestled in clouds, adorned with gold and pearls held by chi heads, double eaves spread like wings, upturned roofs holding rainbows. The vermillion ridges and glazed tiles sparkle brilliantly.
Damn, spending so much money to build such a place, it must be the Eastern Country’s Prince Dong’s Mansion without a doubt.
"Boom boom boom!"
Continuous explosions erupted again from all directions. Tie Dan focused his eyesight, looking towards where the blasts stirred up bloody waves and smoke, seeing squadrons of iron kites glide out of the smoke, diving to drop bombs on the East King Palace City.
Yet somehow, there was some invisible and intangible barrier guarding the palace city, causing those high-explosive bombs to be deflected away, only sending crowds outside the city in swarms flying amidst the blasts.
"Boom boom boom!"
Seeing another wave of carpet bombing heading his way, Tie Dan hesitated no longer. With a Gang Fist gathering strength, he shot up with a "bang!" and broke through the gate, using Cloud Riding Escape to leap directly inside the palace walls.
Sure enough, the foundation of the Immortal Palace was still strong. Just beyond a wall, outside turned into a human hell, yet inside the prince’s mansion remained as vibrant as ever, without a madman in sight, as if the epidemic of zombie sieges and frenzied slaughter had not spread within the palace walls at all. It seems the Immortal Palace indeed has miraculous methods to resist the intrusion of those Primordial Spirit Left Dao, evil sorcery, and demon arts...
"Caw—!"
"Bang!"
"Puff!"
Before Tie Dan could even land, suddenly an old eunuch rushed out from the shadows of the city gate with a broom! Sneakily, he swung the broom over! Who knows what treasure the broom was! It actually knocked Tie Dan’s Nine-Ring Iron Great Chopper right out of his hands, sending Tie Dan himself flying backward! If it weren’t for his power being blocked a bit by the sword, he would have nearly vomited blood from the attack!
"Damn it!!"
As if that broom swing wasn’t enough! The old guy followed up with a palm! That palm was even more ferocious! Damn it, it generated wind! It sliced like a steel blade! Obvious boundless killing intent! Even with Tie Dan’s millennium’s worth of power and Blood Jade Divine Skill protection, taking a hit would have left him seriously wounded or dead!
"Mighty Fist!"
In that moment, Tie Dan was pushed to the brink of life and death! Unable to hide his cultivation anymore, he roared, countering with a punch! Turbocharged effort! Violently exploding to send the opponent’s broom flying away!
The old guy didn’t back down either! He let out a long howl! His power surged! Double palms pounding forward! Clang clang fighting violently!
"Boom boom boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
In that turning, rising, and falling moment, Tie Dan swung up his iron fists, engaging in a brutal brawl with the old eunuch!
Have to say, the Immortal Palace deeply conceals its strength! The freak appearing in a prince’s mansion is just unbelievably strong!
Those outside, mere mortals after all, their combat power base is too low, even turning into zombie baboons, without pain or fear, it’s nothing much!
But this old eunuch in the prince’s mansion is really not to be underestimated! Who knows if the old dog uses the Ephemeral Divine Skill or Eunuch’s Gang Fist! In any case, damn it is just unbelievably powerful! BANG BANG explosive clashes, the sonic booms roared! The shockwaves from the punching and clapping shattered and cracked the glazed tiles! The impact against Tie Dan’s hands made them hurt!
"Damn it!!"
"Holy shit!!"
"Boom!"
"Snap!"
Yet after ten moves, the outcome was decided!
After all, the old eunuch, being elderly and frail, not at his peak combat eunuch period, after BANG BANGing against Tie Dan for ten moves, ultimately due to osteoporosis caused his shoulders to dislocate, blood to burst, bones to crack! Taking a heavy punch to the chest from Tie Dan! Directly hit flying backward into the air! Crashing into the city wall forming a blood-spattered human-shaped figure!
Boom! Kill! To! Dust! End!
"Hiss... whew..."
Tie Dan landed on the ground, also exhaling smoke from his mouth and nose, his fists trembling from the impact, his Qi Sea surging, his chest and meridians shaking greatly, taking several deep breaths to steady himself.
This damn unexpected emergence of a sweeping eunuch, at least a start at Divinity Transformation in power, especially the first three punches hitting with tens of gravity at least! Really pounding him to the point where he almost wanted to vomit blood...
Just as Tie Dan was thinking of picking up his knife...
"Yi ya!!"
"Whoosh!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Damn!"
Damn, another Divinity Transformation Combat Eunuch suddenly rushed out from the flower beds! This guy is even more ghost-like! He holds a big pair of scissors! Snip! Snip! Twisting towards the lower three paths!
Tie Dan’s head was spinning!
At first look, those scissors were dark and rusty, but looking closely, they were sharp and sleek, engraved with two Flood Dragons, and at the moment of tearing through the wind, sword aura even emerged! Impossible to catch bare-handed!
Tie Dan contemplated that although Blood Jade Divine Skill has strong recovery, its defensive power is lacking; he dared not face it bare-handed and immediately twisted his foot to use Cloud Riding Escape technique for movement!
Who could have thought that the Combat Eunuch with the scissors had quite the skills too! He also blinked out of sight! Suddenly fast like a ghost! Chased right up to Tie Dan! "Snip snip snip! Clang clang clang!" Twisting and cutting! Or snipping, or twisting, or gouging, or stabbing! He played those scissors like a flower, striking with an unusually sharp, bizarre technique that seemed like a knife, like a sword, also like fist and blade. It didn’t just shred Tie Dan’s armor! Those sharp saber techniques were aimed straight at the meridians, heart and lungs, tendons of hands and feet! Truly sinister and vicious!
So Tie Dan not only had to protect his core points but also guard against having his tendons picked accidentally! He was chased into a frenzy, leaping up and down! He silently lamented, thinking this time he overestimated himself, pretending to be a swordsman, but his skills as Sword Transmission were no good here, truly caught in his own cocoon!
Fortunately, these eunuchs, despite their skills, were all old and declining, clearly without Immortal Pill to prolong life, with limited strength; now after this skirmish, their physical function approached its limits. Just need to endure ten rounds; then fatigue shows, weakness emerges, movement and power drop sharply, combat strength quickly declines in realm.
Tie Dan was never one to respect the elderly or care for the young; it’s also taking advantage of your sickness to claim your life. Seeing the old man snip forward too fast, rushing too fiercely! Momentarily losing balance and unable to recover! He fiercely elbowed back! Straight "crack!" sound struck the Combat Eunuch’s face sinking into his cheeks! Then seized the chance of stiffness! A series of combo beat-down! Directly shattered the old eunuch’s bones and smashed him flying!
Boom! To! Dust! Mote!
"Hoo..."
Tie Dan breathed heavily, looking at the blood marks on his chest, though he won at last, yet in just those ten moves, several cuts were made by the scissors, stabbing and piercing, breaking two meridians.
And the sharp energy from those scissors was chilling and sinister, twisting chaos inside his chest, leaving behind a bunch of blade scars within his body. If not for Tie Dan using Beichen Sword Qi to dissolve immediately, likely a few more exchanges would shred the lungs, leaving latent issues for future Cultivation... Damn? The wounds changed color, these scissors are poisoned...
Damn, this indeed has some difficulty...
"Crash!"
Damn another one!
Suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking from the nearby house, Tie Dan was startled jumping up, instantly punching out! Straight collapsed a row of houses!
"Ah!"
In the rubble, didn’t explode any elite monster Combat Eunuch, but a girl’s mournful cry was heard.
Tie Dan frowned, grabbing his big knife first, then coming back to uncover the ruins, seeing indeed a girl buried beneath the eaves, luckily she was hidden under the bed beforehand, her head was covered protecting her from being hit.
Though dressed as a maidservant this time, it was clear the girl was a beauty embryo, like a budding flower gradually blooming, now even as a "green tea" sitting reclined on the ground, even plain clothes and wooden hairpin couldn’t hide her lovely appearance. In glances, seemed like a bright flower in full bloom, truly born exquisite, stunning bright before the eyes. That was,
Green silk wrapped into nine ringlets of gauze, not yet fallen on jade shoulders already chills. Plain sleeves unstained by human colors, broad ice silk sleeves hanging clouds remain. Brows congealing dark mountain hue, eyes harboring moon wheel amid ice pools. Not borrowing plum spirit to vie spring colors, still embracing snow soul among verdant moss.
Tie Dan stared at the girl’s face, complexion tensed, frowned, suddenly felt something seemed amiss.
Before he could speak first, the girl also raised her head looking over, the two met eyes, the girl’s ice soul glaze-like pupils, just like shimmering lake light, sudden bright like the moon reflected in a pond,
"Liu Xiaoliu! It’s me! It’s me, Shi Gui!"
"..."
Tie Dan pretended not to recognize her.
Shi Gui called,
"Don’t pretend not to recognize me! You have a unique scent! No one else has it! Even if you turned to ash I’ll remember!"
Tie Dan, "...Oh."
