Chapter 121 - 120 Sword Drawing Skill, Killing as if Slaughtering Dogs
“Pei Xuanjing, just surrender now!”
Three first-class masters, along with several second-class and third-class experts, had surrounded the entire inn.
Pei Xuanjing leaped out of the window and stood on the roof of the inn, holding a sword in one hand and the other behind him. He looked at the crowd with a slightly cold gaze: “Do you really think you can hold me here?”
Six Gates, Shi Ruifeng.
Dong Factory, Qiu Xingwen.
Xi Factory, Feng Hongfei.
These three had been following him for several months.
The face of Shi Ruifeng from Six Gates was solemn: “Just try!”
The Pei Xuanjing in front of them was the most troublesome person he had encountered since joining the Six Gates, and also the most powerful one.
For the past three months, if it had not been for their joint efforts, mutual assistance, and combined attacks, they would not only have failed, but would also have been defeated one by one by the other party.
But even so, during these three months, they incurred considerable losses with several experts injured or dead, which caused doubts about him within Six Gates.
The same went for Qiu Xingwen from Dong Factory, who locked Pei Xuanjing’s aura firmly, fearing that the latter would escape again.
And Feng Hongfei from Xi Factory looked even more serious, guarding against Pei Xuanjing’s sudden attack.
After the battle in Xuanfu, Pei Xuanjing became famous in Jianghu, causing a sensation everywhere.
On the other hand, his reputation was built entirely by trampling on the face of the Great Ming imperial court.
His actions not only caused the emperor to lose face, but also made many prominent figures associated with him lose face too. The most closely related were the Two Factories, the Brocade Guards, the Six Gates and the Three Judicial Departments.
However, while the death of Qian Ning caused the Brocade Guards to lose face, the emperor’s order for Jiang Bin to reorganize the Brocade Guards had also helped to evade this matter.
Ever since the emperor ordered the Two Factories and Six Gates to be in charge of arresting Pei Xuanjing, it has undoubtedly put more pressure on them.
Not to mention high-ranking experts in the Two Factories and Six Gates, backed by the imperial court, their reputation was not small in Jianghu, enough to scare many people.
But this reputation depends on the situation. For ordinary experts, facing the masters from Two Factories and Six Gates, they would naturally steer clear, fearing to provoke the mistreatment and arrest.
However, once breaking into the Upper Three Realms, even if it’s just a pseudo-master, they might be wary of these Factory Guards and God Catchers of Six Gates, but they do not completely fear them.
The three wolves of MO Bei were just like that. Even if they were wanted by Six Gates, they would act without fear once they took action.
As for someone like Pei Xuanjing, who has a record of killing a first-class martial artist, it has already made them feel very tricky.
After all, facing such an expert, those ordinary capturers and Dong Factory experts are utterly useless and will only become a burden.
To capture such a top peer expert, they have to go all out.
Under normal circumstances, facing these expert martial artists who can be called giants in Jianghu, they maintain a tacit understanding and will not fight to the death unless necessary.
But now, since it was the emperor’s personal order, the Two Factories and Six Gates naturally did not dare to slack off. They gathered three first-class masters and several second-class experts to jointly pursue Pei Xuanjing.
But after three months, not only did they gain nothing, but they also lost face.
The crowd was shocked to see so many experts surrounding Pei Xuanjing.
They never expected that Pei Xuanjing, who had always been pursued, would not flee far away but would even come to Hejian Mansion.
Those people in the inn were even more surprised. This seemingly ordinary young Taoist had been in the inn for a few days and didn’t seem as ferocious as spreading rumors, but many people found him very approachable.
“Pei Xuanjing, we don’t want to waste our words with you. We in Dong Factory are but dogs of His Majesty, we bite whoever His Majesty orders us to bite. Even if you escape today, you won’t be able to escape tomorrow.” Qiu Xingwen’s shrill voice rang out.
“You won’t get away today!” Feng Hongfei spoke ominously.
They had been chasing painstakingly for three months, and finally cornered him. How could they let him escape?
The Shi Ruifeng of Six Gates, naturally, would not be as brazen as the people from the Dong Factory. He spoke with a righteous tone, “Pei Xuanjing, you have been blessed by His Majesty, yet you had sinister motives and disrespected the emperor. You even killed an imperial official on your own accord. Your crime is monstrous. You had better surrender obedientlv and return with me to Six Gates.”
Pei Xuanjing sneered: “You guys talk too much.”
As soon as he finished his words, the hand that was behind him slowly came up and rested on the hilt of the sword.
Seeing this move by Pei Xuanjing, everyone’s face tensed up and Shi Ruifeng shouted, “Strike now!”
After several exchanges in these few months, both sides had some understanding of each other’s tricks.
Pei Xuanjing was about to strike now, and they knew how powerful his sword drawing skill was, so they naturally wanted to stop him.
Actually, they didn’t need Shi Ruifeng to remind them. All the experts surrounding Pei Xuanjing were cautiously observing his every move, fearing that Pei Xuanjing might kill suddenly, after all, this was not the first or second time he did this.
So as soon as Pei Xuanjing raised his hand, they had already reacted and attacked him.
Unfortunately, they were too late.
Though Pei Xuanjing’s action seemed slow, it was actually very swift and decisive.
Hand on hilt, gripping sword, unsheathing, striking, each move flowed like a cloud, without any hesitation!
Sword Drawing Skill!
This was a lethal move evolved from the Drawing Sword Skill that Pei Xuanjing acquired from Ding Yulong.
After exploring this for three months and practicing it with these people, although he may not be as proficient as Ding Yulong, combined with his abundant inner Qi and blood Qi, and his incredible strength, he is not inferior to Ding Yulong, and even surpasses him.
Clang!
As the Shenxiao Sword was unsheathed, a brilliant sword light flashed out.
Almost the moment it was unsheathed, a sword intent as powerful as the dazzling daylight permeated.
Even though they had witnessed it several times, even Shi Ruifeng and other first-class martial artists found it hard to describe how fast this sword was.
A single sword strike, as if to cut the sky and break the ground.
The chilling sword light, combined with this dazzling daylight-like sword intent.
At this moment, everything around seemed to be obliterated by the sword light, and all people’s eyes had nothing else, only this sword.
Swish!
The sharp sword energy swept across, several high-level personnel from the Two Factories and Six Gates stood in place. They still maintained the movement of just attacking, but their chests were pierced by the sword energy at some point.
The power of a single sword, so terrifying!
The spectators in the distance, their faces filled with terror.
They really did not expect that Pei Xuanjing killed several experts with just one sword..
