In the Hutong.

Wearing a mask, Chen Wenren held a long spear upside down and walked step by step into the Hutong. The distance of thirty-odd steps gradually shortened. The masked Yulin Army behind him was neat and tidy, like a black wall pressing down.

The momentum of the stick-wielders from the market and the imperial ceremonial guards was completely different.

Chen Wenren laughed from a distance, “You guys have a few broken bamboo poles and some clumsy iron tools, do you really think you can do anything? Running to this outer city to stir up trouble, aren’t you ashamed?”

Li Xuan said in a low voice, “Did you come specifically for us? You’ve been watching for days, wanting to seize the opportunity to seek revenge.”

Chen Wenren paused his steps. Seeing that his identity was exposed, he no longer disguised himself. He sneered and said, “Some people are clearly live-in sons-in-law, their children all take their wife’s surname, and yet they still think they are someone important every day! And some people clearly like to hide behind others, but still like to act like what kind of good man! And some people are clearly illegitimate children, their hearts not with their own family, instead they help outsiders!”

Qi Jianzhe couldn’t help but retort, “And what are you?”

Chen Wenren laughed coldly, lifted his spear, and continued forward, “Today I’ll teach you how to speak to me from now on!”

Li Xuan had already killed the Yulin Army Deputy Commander Zhao Zhuofan, so the two sides had a great enmity! At the Yulin Army headquarters, everyone couldn’t fight, they could only endure without exploding!

Now that they had chosen such a battlefield, all the new and old grievances would be settled!

At this time, the narrow Li Shamao Hutong was crowded!

On the west side were He Ji’s stick-wielders, on the east side were Chen Wenren and the Yulin Army, and above were the two theater officials from Fu Rui Xiang. Enemies were everywhere!

Li Xuan and the others gradually closed ranks, back to back. Chen Ji’s gaze swept over Chen Wenren and the others: “Are there any Seeking Dao realm among them?”

Li Xuan calmly said, “Wang Fang next to Chen Wenren may have already stepped into the Seeking Dao realm!”

“Wang Fang.”

Qi Jianzhe explained, “That’s the one Chen Wenren instigated to spar with you when you first came to the headquarters as an instructor! He always said he had one foot on the threshold of the Seeking Dao realm. He dared to come and find your brother-in-law trouble today, so he must have already stepped over!”

Chen Ji asked in a low voice, “Chen Wenren isn’t Seeking Dao realm? Did the Chen family not use silver to pile him up?”

Li Xuan calmly said, “The threshold of the Seeking Dao realm is not something anyone can push up with stacking. If you can’t cross that hurdle, stacking with silver is useless!”

He said, then raised his head and looked at the two theater officials in opera robes above: “Those two doing face-changing up there should be innate theater officials. Their realm isn’t high, but their theater sect’s techniques are a bit strange. When their face is white, they are unpredictable. When their face is red, their strength is immense. When their face is black, knives and spears can’t penetrate. They are difficult to deal with!”

Chen Ji exhaled, “I’ll handle it!”

Just at this moment, Duo Bao suddenly turned around and handed the long spear in his hand to Qi Jianzhe!

Qi Jianzhe was startled: “What are you doing?”

Duo Bao said in a low voice, “Don’t you always want to show off? Today you’ll be the vanguard and beat down this Chen Wenren! Although I’ve also disliked him for a long time, I’ll give this opportunity to you today!”

Qi Jianzhe looked at the spear handed in front of his eyes: “I… In Gu Yuan, I didn’t kill a single Jing Dynasty thief, you believe me.”

Duo Bao laughed: “If you’re useless later, then we’ll just switch, won’t we? But from now on, you can forget about your brothers calling you ‘adult’ again. From now on, in the yamen, you’ll honestly bow low and be humble, pouring tea and serving water for everyone!”

Qi Jianzhe snatched the spear from Duo Bao’s hand and handed the Iron Wolf Brush in his hand to the other: “This bet is really damn big… kill.”

The Three Mandarins Formation suddenly moved. One Mandarins Formation led by Qi Jianzhe as the vanguard, Two Mandarins Formation as the rear guard, and thirty-eight Yulin Army soldiers erected a forest of spears and rushed outwards!

Chen Wenren laughed coldly and said to the masked Yulin Army beside him: “Today we’ll let them know that coming back from Gu Yuan is not a big deal. Stop looking down on people, don’t be afraid of trouble, hit them for me.”

Both sides engaged!

Someone on Chen Wenren’s side stabbed out a spear first. The spear howled and buzzed when it was stabbed out, and the movements were straightforward and neat, pleasing to the eye!

However, before the spear reached Qi Zhuo, it was blocked high by Duo Bao’s Iron Wolf Brush, forcing his middle stance wide open, exposing his abdomen to everyone’s gaze!

Duo Bao raised his Iron Wolf Brush high and roared, “Flashy and showy, hit him for me.”

Qi Jianzhe held the spear handle tightly and hesitated, but Li Cen kicked him in the buttocks, forcing him to stagger forward! Qi Jianzhe gritted his teeth and made up his mind, stepped forward like an arrow, and thrust the tail of the spear into the opponent’s abdomen!

The opposite Yulin Army painfully loosened their spear and curled up on the ground like a shrimp!

Chen Wenren saw Qi Jianzhe rush up and lifted his spear to stab, but as soon as he raised his hand, Duo Bao’s six-zhang long Iron Wolf Brush covered him again, forcing Chen Wenren to retreat in a hurry!

Duo Bao said in a loud voice, “Can you do it or not, change me if you can’t.”

Qi Jianzhe held the spear tightly: “It doesn’t seem that difficult, come again.”

The Mandarins Formation repeated the old trick, just simple blocking and parrying with the Iron Wolf Brush, and the spear thrusting attack, which made the opposing Yulin Army hard to parry!

On Chen Wenren’s side, the originally neat formation suddenly became chaotic!

He said in a low voice, “Zhang Li, Li Bin, break the formation with me. You two block that iron tool, I’ll deal with Qi Jian.”

As soon as the words fell, the three people went forward side by side. When the two Iron Wolf Brushes attacked from left and right, the Yulin Army on Chen Wenren’s left and right actively used their spears to pick up and block the Iron Wolf Brushes high!

Under the spears and Iron Wolf Brushes, only Chen Wenren and Qi Jianzhe remained confronting each other, without any further interference!

Chen Wenren recognized Qi Jianzhe at a glance and immediately laughed coldly: “Coward, why aren’t you rolling away quickly.”

Qi Jianzhe subconsciously shrank back, and Duo Bao hated that iron was not steel: “Damn it, stab him, what are you afraid of. You hid in Gu Yuan, how long do you still want to hide?”

Chen Ji’s voice suddenly came from behind Qi Jianzhe: “Attack his lower left.”

When he heard the words, his spirit lifted, and he finally thrust his spear towards Chen Wenren’s left knee. When Chen Wenren swung his spear to block, he heard Chen Ji say again: “Retract the spear, point at his right knee!”

Qi Jianzhe retracted the tail of his spear, causing Chen Wenren’s swinging spear to sweep empty. When he ran out of strength, his right knee felt a sharp pain, and his body tilted to one side!

Before he could react, a voice came from behind Qi Jianzhe again: “Sweep his head!”

Chen Wenren heard the wind howling and coming. Fortunately, Wang Fang, who was behind him, grabbed his collar and dragged him back into the army formation. Qi Jianzhe’s spear tail barely swept over the tip of his nose!

If it wasn’t for Wang Fang, this strike would have probably knocked him out!

Inside the opposing Mandarins Formation, Qi Jianzhe’s excited voice rang out: “Did you see it, did you all see it, I almost smashed that Wang bastard to death with one blow.”

Chen Wenren was full of anger. Just as he was about to rise and fight again, Wang Fang said in a low voice: “Adult, you suppress the formation from behind, we’ll come!”

Chen Wenren said fiercely, “If you win against them, I will ask for a deputy commander for you to fill Zhao Zhuofan’s vacancy.”

Wang Fang cupped his fist: “Understood!”

He said, then pointed to two people on his left and right: “You two go up.”

Wang Fang himself then stood inside the army formation, his gaze firmly fixed on Li Xuan. If Li Xuan didn’t move, he wouldn’t move either!

However, Li Xuan’s gaze also passed through the crowd and firmly locked onto him!

Amidst the surging killing intent, two Seeking Dao realm officials stood, their eyes no longer seeing anyone else!

The next moment, Li Xuan walked through the crowd towards the front of the formation, and Wang Fang held his spear upside down to meet him. When the two simultaneously reached the front of the formation, everyone subconsciously withdrew their hands to avoid the sharpness of the two!

Li Xuan and Wang Fang simultaneously thrust out their spears, aiming straight at the opponent’s chest and abdomen without any fancy moves!

The tips of the two spears brushed past each other’s shoulders. Seeing that both sides were about to suffer mutual injury, Wang Fang suddenly roared, and a white giant snake dharma image lit up behind him, its speed even faster than Li Xuan!

But Li Xuan still didn’t dodge, as if he was determined to suffer mutual injury!

Just as both sides were about to make contact, Wang Fang’s pupils shrank, and he suddenly retracted his spear and retreated. Neither side injured the other, but his momentum was three points weaker!

On the second floor of Chunfeng Courtyard, the young man laughed and clapped his hands: “Whether it’s on the battlefield or not, it’s clear at a glance. I can probably guess where these people came from. Didn’t a branch of the Yulin Army just come back from Gu Yuan? Five hundred people went, and only thirty-seven came back. It’s truly tragic!”

Zhou Kuang laughed: “Where is there so much fancy stuff on the battlefield, only those who dare to die can live! Master, you are right, these thirty-odd people are from the battlefield, and they have killed quite a few people… I originally thought they would be folded up in this Hutong, but now… I’m afraid those eighty dandies won’t be able to block them!”

The young man stroked the stubble on his chin: “There’s still a fierce person in the memorial, who killed over a hundred Tian Ce Army soldiers. I don’t know which one it is.”

Inside the Hutong, Wang Fang and Li Xuan exchanged more than ten rounds. Although Wang Fang’s skill was a bit faster than Li Xuan, and Li Xuan was using a spear, not his most skilled sword, Wang Fang was suppressed by Li Xuan everywhere, and even the dharma image behind him gradually dimmed!

The green brick walls on both sides of the Hutong collapsed, and the two of them had created an open space!

A ruthless blow landed on Wang Fang’s back, and Wang Fang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

Just at this moment, the theater official who had always been guarding the red lantern suddenly made a move. One person fell from a high place, rushing straight towards Li Xuan’s back!

This theater official wiped his face in mid-air, his white face with fine eyes turned into a red face with a thick beard, and his fierce and twisted facial pattern was even more bizarre!

But before he could land, a figure flashed out from the army formation: “Steady!”

Chen Ji lifted his spear, leaped up, stepped on Li Xuan’s shoulder, soared into the air, and leaped straight towards the falling theater official!

Green bricks, gray tiles, red lanterns!

The spectators hiding in the dark slowly opened their mouths wide. The masked official in the air swung the spear in his hand in a full circle, wrapped in the sound of howling wind, and hammered down!

The theater official from Fu Rui Xiang hastily changed his face. His red face with a thick beard turned into a black face with a curly beard, and he used both arms to hard block this “blow”.

The spear exploded into wood chips all over the sky in the air. The theater official was smashed straight into the Hutong, and the iron spear tip was bounced high into the air!

Another theater official saw his brother being hit and immediately pounced towards Chen Ji!

As soon as his figure moved, he saw the iron spear tip falling from the night sky within the wood chips all over the sky, landing in front of Chen Ji!

Chen Ji twisted his waist in mid-air and actually kicked the falling spear tip towards the opponent in the air!

The spear tip emitted a sharp shriek, and the theater official’s expression changed. He hastily changed to the black face pattern to hard block, but that spear tip was different from all the others he had encountered before. It actually pierced his body that was impervious to knives and spears and was nailed into his abdomen!

The young man inside Chunfeng Courtyard shouted: “Good!”

In just this short moment, Li Xuan and Chen Ji joined forces, and Wang Fang and the two theater officials from Fu Rui Xiang were all incapacitated!

The young man looked at Zhou Kuang with great interest: “Pour me a cup of tea, no, pour me wine.”

Zhou Kuang seemed to be deep in thought: “Looking at the figure, he’s a bit like that kid you watched wrestling with in Tianqiao tavern!”

The young man was startled: “Is it him? I didn’t think he had this kind of skill at the time. Find a way to let me know!”

Zhou Kuang reminded him: “Master, he injured our people!”

The young man came back to his senses: “Oh right…”

Just when Chen Ji wanted to continue chasing and killing the two theater officials, the young man said loudly through the window crack: “Boy, I think I invited you for tea, give me face, let them go!”

Chen Ji’s figure paused and he looked up at Chunfeng Courtyard: “You invited me for tea once, I can only spare one!”

The young man thought for a moment: “Spare two, I’ll owe you a favor!”

Chen Ji agreed: “Okay!”

The young man lowered his head and looked at the Zuo brothers: “You guys brag to the sky every day, get out of here quickly!”

The Zuo brothers rose, supported each other, wiped their faces, and turned into white faces with fine eyes and soared up again!

However, before they could stand steady on the lantern stand, the window above Deng Xian Lou suddenly broke, and a slender figure flashed out!

The guest who had been hiding alone in Deng Xian Lou broke the window and flew to the side of the Zuo brothers in the air, pinching their necks, and lifting them like small chickens on a red lantern!

Chen Ji looked in astonishment: “Bao Monkey.”

How could Bao Monkey be guarding above this Hutong? Bao Monkey was wearing a wooden monkey mask, holding the Zuo brothers in his hands and laughing loudly: “I was just wondering why my cultivation speed isn’t as fast as Xuan Snake, ha ha ha, so it was because of you two.”

The Zuo brothers were completely limp in his hands, their facial patterns faded, revealing their original faces, which were actually a pair of twins!

Bao Monkey asked as if no one else was present: “Where is your master? Are there no other people who cultivate this path?”

The Zuo brothers struggled: “We have no master, we just obtained the inheritance by chance!”

Bao Monkey said “Oh”: “No wonder you cultivate incorrectly.”

Taking advantage of the gap, the Zuo brothers mustered their last bit of strength and simultaneously swung their palms towards the middle-positioned Bao Monkey, slapping towards his face!

Bao Monkey didn’t dodge or avoid, letting them shatter the monkey mask on his face!

The mask broke into several pieces, falling from the air into the Hutong, revealing the strange facial pattern under the mask!

This facial pattern had a golden base with fire patterns on the left face, a silver-gray spider web pattern on the right face, outlined in the middle line with human blood, dividing one face into two, with three inverted ears drawn on each temple!

The Zuo brothers were astonished: “Six Eared Macaque.”

Bao Monkey laughed heartily: “You two haven’t even cultivated your natal facial patterns, don’t come out and make a fool of yourselves.”

He said, then used his bare hands to pinch and break the necks of the two people and threw them into the air. After casually wiping their faces in the air with both hands, he turned around and leaped into the distant night!

Waiting for the corpses of the two Zuo brothers to fall.

Among the two groups of Yulin Army, all the Yulin Army subconsciously took a step back. They only saw that the skin of these two people’s faces had been peeled off, exposing the bloody muscles outside, terrifyingly gruesome!

Li Xuan said in a low voice: “This is the struggle of the sect, there is death but no life!”

“Ugh.” The opposite Yulin Army bent over and vomited!

The sound of dense footsteps came from a distance. Chen Ji said in a low voice: “Don’t linger in the fight, seize the opportunity to rush out, Fu Rui Xiang’s stick-wielders are coming!”
