Chapter 74: Blade Slash!

The ship was an old sailing vessel, without a steam engine.

Taiwan Novel Network is super practical, with many choices for you.

But, it could go out to sea.

That was enough.

Convinced of this, the Old Eunuch looked at the red sedan chair, victory already in his grasp.

“Thief Sun, won’t you come out and meet your death yet?

Do you really think you can escape?

this eunuch has already laid an inescapable net for you!”

His questions were filled with complacency.

He then signaled, and fireworks rose into the sky.

Whoosh!

Pop!

A massive Blood Droplet pattern was clearly visible.

Then, a large troop of men began to gather toward the Shallow Beach.

Of course, that wasn’t important.

What was important was… the ironclad gunboat!

An ironclad gunboat of the Empire’s navy appeared on the horizon.

purple stone!

“Thief Sun, if you want to leave Hong Kong, no matter what Thief Meng arranges, you’ll eventually have to go to sea. I only needed to arrange an ironclad warship in advance, and you’d be unable to escape even with wings.

this eunuch’s plans are infallible!”

The Old Eunuch said smugly.

“Arranged in advance?

What did you use to arrange it?”

Zhao The Unhappy sneered.

“A nondescript piece of land in exchange for the help of Foreign Devils to eradicate you rebels—it couldn’t be better!”

The Old Eunuch took it for granted.

Then, he looked out at the sea.

There, the purple stone had already closed in on the old sailing vessel.

“A modern warship of the Foreign Devils against a dilapidated sailing boat.

Do you still expect a miracle to happen?

Just surrender!”

The Old Eunuch shook his head and looked behind him.

There, a troop of two hundred men had already assembled.

Each one was as vigorous as a dragon or a tiger.

Every single one was personally trained by him.

Not only had they tempered their Foundation from a young age, practiced martial arts, and mastered coordination, but they were also fiercely loyal.

This time, he had brought them all.

It was to let these young ones see the world and understand that under imperial power, all are but filth.

Only loyalty to the Emperor is the right path.

At the thought of the young ones he trained acting as the Emperor’s sharp blade abroad and gathering around the Emperor as his sturdiest shield at home, the Old Eunuch felt immensely gratified.

Turning his head, the Old Eunuch looked at the crowd.

“You…”

Just as the Old Eunuch was about to say more, he suddenly noticed the sailing vessel on the sea lowering two small boats.

As soon as they hit the water, the two small boats charged toward the purple stone like arrows from a bow.

Even from a great distance, the Old Eunuch could still see clearly.

These two small boats were filled with explosives.

But the Old Eunuch wasn’t surprised in the least.

He had already calculated everything.

“Lord Qing Qi, I’ll leave it to you.”

The Old Eunuch shouted from afar.

At the bow of the purple stone, a First-Rank Guard in Charge of Affairs dressed in a mandarin jacket cupped his hands toward the Old Eunuch.

The Old Eunuch saw it.

He smiled immediately.

Then, he turned his head to look at the five people before him.

“Now, it’s time to end this.”

With that, the Old Eunuch lunged forward.

Zhao The Unhappy was the fastest, thrusting his iron sword straight forward.

Blind Huang was next, his copper coin darts flying out.

Madam Meng was last, her green bamboo flute in hand.

The broken iron sword rode the wind, whistling through the air.

The copper coin darts were stealthy, disappearing silently.

The green bamboo flute played melodiously, unsettling the mind.

The Old Eunuch ignored them completely, letting the broken iron sword and copper coin darts approach him; even when they were right before his eyes, he simply closed his eyelids and remained unharmed.

Only the mind-unsettling green bamboo flute made the Old Eunuch frown slightly.

After forcing back Zhao The Unhappy and Blind Huang, the Old Eunuch headed straight for Madam Meng.

But two mourning sticks blocked his path.

The Black and White Impermanence had calmed their blood and Qi, retrieving their mourning sticks.

One high and one low, they attacked fiercely.

Striking the head above and the abdomen below.

Bang! Bang!

Dull thuds rang out continuously.

It was still useless.

Fortunately, Zhao The Unhappy and Blind Huang engaged him once more.

The Old Eunuch was held back again.

Five people fought against one, as time ticked away.

The Old Eunuch’s breath was long and steady, his frame unyielding.

Meanwhile, the breathing of the five became increasingly erratic.

Especially Madam Meng, the only one who could affect the Old Eunuch; her breath faltered, and the melody of her green bamboo flute suddenly broke and paused.

The Old Eunuch seized the opportunity instantly.

He leaped through the encirclement and arrived before the sedan chair.

With a wave of his hand, he sent the two porters flying and yanked up the curtain.

Then… he saw Lin Tianding.

Lin Tianding, holding a revolver.

The Old Eunuch was stunned.

Lin Tianding pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

Three shots rang out in succession.

They were all blocked.

The Old Eunuch crossed his hands in front of his face; the three bullets were slightly embedded in his muscles, but that was as far as they went—the kinetic energy vanished, and the bullets could not advance an inch further.

With a flick of his hand, the Old Eunuch sent the three bullets flying out.

He reached out to grab Lin Tianding, squeezing his neck as he asked.

“Where is Thief Sun?

Where is Thief Sun?”

He questioned in a rage, exasperated.

Lin Tianding forced a hideous smile.

Without answering, he opened his mouth and spat.

Ptooey!

The spit landed on the Old Eunuch’s face.

His skin, as smooth as a baby’s, turned red instantly.

“Arghhh!”

Amidst his roars, Lin Tianding was slammed heavily onto the beach.

The Old Eunuch wanted to smash Lin Tianding to death.

Whoosh!

A sleeve fluttered, vibrating repeatedly.

With a pull and a tug, Tianding was unharmed.

Madam Meng waved her hand repeatedly as she pulled.

Lin Tianding rolled and ended up behind the five.

Zhao The Unhappy glanced at Lin Tianding, who only had a scraped skin, and then looked at the Old Eunuch.

“F*ck your mother, you ball-less wild boar skins, do you really think you’re Marquis Wu, with your ‘infallible plans’?

You f*cking idiot, you’re not even worthy of carrying Marquis Wu’s shoes.

Boss Meng already guessed that you piece of sh*t would collude with the Foreign Devils, so he used nine obvious moves and one hidden one to lure you into the trap and bring out the gunboat.”

Even now, Zhao The Unhappy only guessed the Man of Benevolence and Righteousness’s general layout, but that didn’t stop him from spewing profanities.

The Old Eunuch was fuming with rage.

He charged straight at Zhao The Unhappy.

This was exactly what Zhao The Unhappy wanted.

“You guys go.

I’ll hold him back!”

Zhao The Unhappy’s broken iron sword stirred the wind once more.

“Thinking of running?!

None of you will escape!”

The enraged Old Eunuch roared, his hands suddenly shifting.

Instantly, the heat and cold were reborn.

An inexplicable suction appeared once again.

“The world knows of ‘Green Snake Turns White’.

But they have never heard of the ‘Great Yin Yang Hand’ created by this old man!

Today, I will use the blood of you rebels to make a name for my ‘Great Yin Yang Hand’!”

Zhao The Unhappy’s sword thrust went wide.

Blind Huang’s copper coin darts also missed.

Madam Meng and the Wuchang Brothers had their internal injuries aggravated.

The Old Eunuch raised his hand and waved again.

Forces were inverted, and power surged.

Yin and Yang rotated, and the universe was thrown into chaos.

Boom!

The five were sent flying, coughing up blood as they hit the ground.

“I’ll kill the five of you first, then go find Thief Sun and Thief Meng.

Oh, right!

And that Great Sage Sun!

Don’t worry, I will slice the three of them into a thousand pieces!”

As he spoke, the Old Eunuch headed toward Zhao The Unhappy.

Zhao The Unhappy’s previous insults had already made the Old Eunuch uncontrollably furious.

However, just as he raised his palm, the Old Eunuch’s heart suddenly trembled.

Without a second thought, the Old Eunuch moved to parry.

The Yin and Yang Qi were activated once again.

Turbulent currents kicked up sand in a surging torrent.

Dark and oppressive.

Like a demon reborn.

As if the firmament were being rebuilt.

However—

Roar!

A tiger’s roar rose, and a blade shadow fell.

Slaying the demon, severing the firmament.

Chii!

The sound of metal cutting through flesh echoed across the beach.
