Thieves Old and Young

Chapter 335: Old and Young Thieves

When the cripple and Qin Mu walked out of Qingmen Pass, many generals in Guanzhong frowned. Bian Zhenyun quickly asked for instructions from Imperial Master Yankang, who shook his head and said, "No need to help them. With the cripple here, no one can kill Master Qin."

"Cripple?" Everyone looked at the cripple. The old man had all his limbs intact and was walking very fast. How could he be lame?

"Heart lame."

Imperial Master Yankang looked unhappy, and said, "If one's moral character is lame, his body is crippled, his shadow is crippled, and his mind is crippled. There's no need to talk about him. Just look at Dan Youxin, how many of the Shenxiao Rings have been refined by the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Academy?"

"Fourteen thousand pieces have been refined."

Shan Youxin said: "They have been installed on the Zhenyuan Cannon. In one day, the remaining several thousand pieces will be refined, and then we can attack the enemy camp."

Imperial Master Yankang looked at the mighty pass opposite him and said calmly, "No need to wait another day. Order all the armies to prepare to march out immediately, deploy the ships, and push forward! Border General, Grand Commandant, Auxiliary General, Cavalry General, Senior Pillar State, Defending Duke, Pillar State General, Champion General, Huaihua General!"

He called out their names one by one, and many generals of Yankang State came out to wait for orders.

After the rebellion of the former crown prince Ling Yuxia, all the officials of Ling Yuxia's lineage were purged. However, Yankang Kingdom was a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and the emperor promoted many new officials to take over, so there was no lack of successors.

State Master Yankang said in a deep voice: "Mobilize the troops behind the pass, and set up a battle formation behind the tower ship, and the army behind will clear the area. And you keep a close eye on the opponent's masters of the Divine Bridge and Life and Death Realm, and be ready to kill them at any time!"

The generals were awed. Duke Wei said, "Master, Master Qin is still in front of the battle. If we attack rashly, I'm afraid the enemy will attack Master Qin."

Imperial Master Yankang smiled and said, "The moment he retreats, it's time to attack. There's no need to worry about his safety. And with that cripple here, there are only a handful of people in the world who can hurt him."

Bian Zhenyun asked: "Who will command the ship?"

The tower ships were originally dispersed among the various armies and commanded and mobilized by the generals of each army. Now that National Master Yankang has changed his tactics and all the tower ships are to be used to clear the way, another army needs to be set up. Strong men who are good at attacking strong points must be present to dispatch the tower ships in order to cope with the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.

Imperial Preceptor Yankang's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Call the middle-level generals of each army to come! Also, call all the Imperial College students to come here!"

A moment later, hundreds of middle-level generals and many imperial academies from the Imperial Academy arrived.

"Two hundred and forty-five ships are equivalent to two hundred and forty-five flying swords."

Imperial Master Yankang looked around and said in a deep voice, "Those who are proficient in swordsmanship and can control 245 flying swords at the same time, please stand up."

More than fifty middle-level generals from various armies and the Imperial College stood up.

State Master Yankang's vitality exploded, and the vitality turned into flying swords that surrounded his body: "Attack me. The one who breaks my sword formation and stabs my body is the commander-in-chief of the new army!"

Upon hearing this, more than fifty strong men used their sword skills to attack National Master Yankang. In an instant, countless sword lights flew around rapidly, and the clanging sounds of collisions were extremely dense!

Imperial Master Yankang stood there motionless, controlling countless sword lights with his mind to block all the attacks from the fifty-plus generals and the Imperial College.

Suddenly, a general was stabbed in the chest, but the sword of Yankang Imperial Master did not hurt him. The general immediately withdrew.

After a while, people were constantly being stabbed and retreating, and only a dozen sword masters were still attacking.

Duke Weiguo Bian Zhenyun and others looked at this scene and admired in their hearts. The remaining dozen people were the most outstanding in swordsmanship. Their attainments in swordsmanship were all at the master level. The only thing they lacked was cultivation.

It is gratifying that Yankang State has produced many talented people.

After a while, only three people were left out of the more than ten people, and they were still attacking National Master Yankang. Suddenly, a sword sun broke out, and the red light was like fire, illuminating the surroundings with incomparable brightness. A sword light pierced out from the red sun, pierced through National Master Yankang's sword defense, and pierced a small hole in the corner of his clothes.

Imperial Master Yankang raised his hand and asked the three men to stop. He looked at the man who had stabbed his clothes and asked, "Imperial College of Hanguang Palace?"

The one who stabbed the corner of his clothes was the Sword Hall Master, who bowed and said, "Hanguang Hall, Jian Sansheng."

Imperial Preceptor Yankang nodded and looked at the other general who had used the Red Sun technique. He had just used the Sunset Sword Technique to allow the Sword Hall Master to succeed. He said, "General Guide, Yu Yuan Chuyun?"

Yu Yuan Chuyun bowed and said, "National Master."

Imperial Master Yankang smiled and said, "Jian Sansheng, you will be the commander-in-chief of the new army, and Yu Yuanchuyun, you will be the deputy commander-in-chief of the new army. I will give you half an hour to familiarize yourself with the names of the captains and ship numbers of each ship, and write down the names of the captains and ship numbers. Remember, when commanding a tower ship, don't think of them as tower ships, but as your flying swords!"

The Sword Hall Master's eyes flashed with sword light, and he said in a deep voice: "What does the State Master want us to do?"

Imperial Master Yankang pointed to the majestic pass opposite and said: "Push down the Helan Pass opposite!"

The Sword Hall Master's body trembled violently. He turned to look at the majestic pass opposite, with heroic spirit surging in his chest.

At this time, Qin Mu and the cripple had already arrived at the duck tongue area.

"Qin Gongcuo, how are you?" Qin Mu laughed loudly.

Pangongcuo smiled slightly, looked around and said, "Luandi Khan, this is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He is not someone who can wield a sword as powerful as the ocean, right?"

Behind him, Luandi Khan looked at Qin Mu with lightning-like eyes and said in a deep voice: "It was this young man. When he arrived at the battlefield, his terrifying sword skills burst out and it was suffocating."

Qin Mu looked behind Pangong Tso and was slightly startled.

Behind Pangong Tso were the Khans of the grassland and the Witch King of the Golden Palace of Loulan, but one of them was the most eye-catching.

He was tall and sturdy, several inches taller than the Sword Hall Master and the Pharmacist. Although it was late summer, he was covered in thick raccoon fur and had a golden sword and quiver on his waist.

"The heroic leader of the grassland, Luandi Khan!" Qin Mu felt the aggressive eyes of Luandi Khan and immediately guessed this man's origins.

At that time, Wu Zun personally granted this man the title of Khan. Luandi Khan means the best archer in the world, and his tribe is also proficient in riding and shooting. From then on, Luandi Khan rose from the grassland and became more and more powerful.

The martial force of Luandi Khan is definitely top-notch. He is not just a sharpshooter. When Qin Mu and Bashan Jijiu saw Bangongcuo, who had not yet been possessed, on the city wall of this mighty pass, Bangongcuo's boxing skills attracted the attention of Qin Mu and Bashan Jijiu.

At that time, the source of Pangong Tso's boxing style was Luandi Khan, which shows that his fighting ability was not limited to bows and arrows.

People often compare Luandi Khan with Emperor Yanfeng. Both of them were heroic rulers who carried out drastic reforms. Luandi Khan was more like an imitator of Emperor Yanfeng. He learned from Emperor Yanfeng's actions and reformed the chaotic situation in which each ethnic group on the grassland acted independently. He annexed other tribes and eradicated all the large and small witch cults on the grassland. All the masters of the large and small witch cults were absorbed into his army.

If it weren't for the intentional or unintentional obstruction of the Loulan Golden Palace, I'm afraid he could have unified the grassland long ago.

At that time, the Loulan Golden Palace was also worried that after Luandi Khan unified the grassland, he would follow the example of Yankang Guoshi and Emperor Yanfeng and suppress the Golden Palace, so they did not fully support him. It was not until the Great Master was reincarnated as Bangongcuo and Bangongcuo regained control of the Golden Palace that they fully supported his great cause of unifying the grassland.

"Luandi Khan's strength is probably not much weaker than Emperor Yanfeng's."

Qin Mu smiled slightly, took a step ahead of the lame man, and said loudly: "Bangongcuo, is the person behind you your father, Luandi Khan?"

Pangong Tso remained unmoved and said with a smile, “You little bitch, do you still want to irritate me?”

"Brother Luandi!"

Qin Mu smiled widely, saluted Luandi Khan, and said, "Tiansheng Sect leader, I am honored to meet the Khan of the grassland."

Luandi Khan frowned, somewhat at a loss. Qin Mu was clearly trying to take advantage of Bangongcuo. If he returned the favor, it would mean Bangongcuo was one generation lower than Qin Mu. The next moment, Qin Mu would let Bangongcuo call him uncle. If he did not return the favor, it would be impolite. When they captured Yankang in the future, Qin Mu would definitely lead the demons to make things difficult for him.

Pangong Tso knew what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Luandi Khan, that little kid named Qin is so maddening. He can suffocate you to death with just one sentence. You wish you could catch him and chop him into pieces. Now that you have met him, you should know that his skills are all in his mouth. That's all."

Luandi Khan asked, "So the one who cast the sword light like the vast ocean is the old man behind him?"

Pangong Tso didn't recognize the cripple either, and shook his head, saying, "It's not him. It's an old immortal without hands or feet. Don't worry, this old immortal won't act rashly. He has too many rules, which restrict him to death. In a few days, someone from heaven will come here to kill him."

He smiled and said, "After he dies, you can flatten this Qingmen Pass, march straight in, and become the master of Middle-earth!"

Luandi Khan said quickly: "At that time, the Golden Palace was the only holy place in the world!"

Pangong Tso laughed and said, "You don't have to be so cautious. My goal is not the first holy place or the only holy place. My goal is so high that you can't imagine it."

When he thought of the golden book that he kept close to him, his heart burned with heat and he clenched his fists.

But at this moment, Qin Mu strode over, smiling, and said, "Luandi Khan is so rude. I greeted you but you didn't return the greeting. Your upbringing is really bad. No wonder you taught Pangong Tso this little bastard."

Pangongcuo's face darkened, and he was about to speak when Qin Mu suddenly quickened his pace and rushed towards him, shouting, "Pangongcuo, get out here and call uncle! Uncle will spank you!"

Pangongcuo was furious. He saw the old man still standing there with a smile on his face, far away from here. He immediately became angry and rushed towards Qin Mu, sneering: "Mr. Qin, I couldn't kill you on the boat last time, but this time I want you to die on this battlefield!"

The two men collided with a loud bang, and their respective magic powers exploded, causing the air currents around them to swirl and expand outwards!

Pangongcuo only felt his arms tingling and his heart was slightly shocked: "I am already at the peak of the Six Harmonies Realm, but this kid is not weaker than me in magic power!"

Qin Mu put his hands together, and countless sword lights shot up into the sky from the Taotie bag behind him, attacking Pangong Tso!

Pangong Tso tried to resist, but suddenly countless sword lights suddenly retracted and turned into a huge silver ball pressing down. Pangong Tso raised his hands high to hold the huge sword ball, and he groaned as he was pressed into the ground.

Luandi Khan and others and the Witch King of the Golden Palace rushed forward to rescue and killed them. Qin Mu quickly opened the Taotie bag and put the sword pill in it. The smiling old man in the distance suddenly disappeared like a ghost, flashing around everyone. Everyone was in chaos for a while, and they seemed to be attacked by the old man at the same time!

At the same time, Pangong Tso appeared from a distance, emerged from the ground, and said loudly: "There is no need to fight with him, let's fight him on the battlefield..."

Qin Mu and the old man did not want to fight, but suddenly started running, like two smoke trails heading straight for Qingmen Pass.

The kind-looking old man held high in his hands the mountain of clothes and spiritual weapons. The clothes, ornaments and spiritual weapons of Luandi Khan and others were stripped off. They stood there naked, at a loss as to what to do.

Qin Mu was holding a golden scroll in his hand, with a pair of underwear underneath, and was running towards Qingmen Pass like crazy.

Pangong Tso was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lifted up his clothes, and suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream.

The golden book and precious scroll he had been hiding close to his body disappeared, and his underwear also disappeared!

"Catch up with them!" Pangong Tso shouted.

At this moment, the gate of Qingmen Pass opened wide, and countless soldiers and horses poured out of the gate. Behind the city tower, large ships floated into the air, with their bows pointing towards Helan Pass.

There was a giant strong man standing on the bow, hammering the war drum on the bow again and again, and the sound of the drum was like thunder.

The voice of Imperial Master Yankang spread throughout the city: "All soldiers, defeat Helan Pass!"
