Ma Yongtao and Zhu Baique jumped down together, trying to grab the girl Xiu-er. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhe suddenly strangled Xiu-er, then threw her toward Ma Yongtao. Simultaneously he turned his attention to Zhu Baique, caught hold of her bayinxiao flute weapon, and tugged at it with all his might, forcing Zhu Baique to clash palms with him. It was at this time that Huang Zhe used his heretical power to suck in the opponent's energy.
"Que-mei!" Ma Yongtao had to let Xiu-er fall to the ground, and the fan in his hand snatched toward Huang Zhe, for a while crashed the xuanlong sword and sure enough the fan was broken in a moment.
Zhu Baique found it difficult to let go of her palm. She felt her strength being sucked away quickly, her face showing extreme pain. Ma Yongtao was forced to exert internal force through his girl's body, forcing Huang Zhe to withdraw his hand. Zhu Baique was detached. She was badly injured but her life was not in danger.
Ma Yongtao threw away his remaining fan, still continuing to fight with Huang Zhe, realizing that even if he mastered the inner energy Gu Chenhui gave him, however, it would not easily break through the opponent's defense and xuanlong sword. He didn't care too much, attacking with his bare hands. Huang Zhe used a self-defense sword, preventing Ma Yongtao from touching him. In an instant, the demon head's clothes were torn.
By that time Jinshui and the others had already gathered in front of the daxian ke building. They set up a formation to contain Huang Zhe, ensuring that the fugitive would not escape again. Liuxin left Bao Xinfei and joined. Zhu Baique also ignored her internal injuries and directly filled the spot in the formation.
Ma Yongtao played the trick of his ghostly palm techniques, jumping up, flicking backward, and moving to the right and left. His movements were extremely fast, forcing Huang Zhe to slash his sword to chase him, forgetting that Huang Yu and the others were still there. When suddenly Ma Yongtao shot up onto the roof, Huang Zhe was still on the ground. His position made it impossible to catch up in an instant.
Huang Yu received internal energy from his friends, and immediately struck from a distance, directing the combined internal energy towards Huang Zhe mercilessly. The impact of this kind of energy will definitely be able to destroy an ordinary person. Huang Zhe was a little too late to see the danger threatening himself because of Ma Yongtao's actions, but he definitely didn't want to be crushed so easily.
The internal energy that had been taken from Xie Tianhu was extraordinary. Huang Zhe was still able to take the attack and even turned the xuanlong sword in his hand to reverse the blow, temporarily disrupting the formation.
Ma Yongtao suddenly flew up from the roof again, directing his ghostly palm to hit the opponent's back. But at that moment the xuanlong jian in Huang Zhe's hand moved even faster, stabbed backward, and stabbed him in the chest, causing his attack to fail miserably. There was Zhu Baique's frantic scream, and the others were no less shocked. When Huang Zhe drew the sword, that Liangshan Mojun immediately collapsed to the ground and didn't move anymore.
"Yongtao!" Zhu Baique run to him and directly pulled him out of the arena.
Huang Zhe was about to give her a punch, but at that moment the other descendants had already adjusted to an empty position, taking turns attacking him with their own special techniques and weapons.
"You Yumen people are really assaulting," Huang Zhe still had time to speak, he was bothered for a while but didn't seem to care anymore.
"I've given you the opportunity to leave once, asking you not to kill and harm anyone, but you're the one who has violated it yourself," Jinshui replied. "There is still one last move, I will definitely complete it."
"Huang Zhe, I heard that all your martial abilities were just stolen, none of it was taught properly by a master," Lin Jixuan said. "You stole wuqing xue manual from your brother, cheat a girl from Wansui Gu to get honglong secret needles, and took yin shou yang zhang manual from Xie Tianhu after you stab him in the eye."
"It is said that you once begged Zhou Sangong to be taken in as a disciple, yet he did not look down on you," Liao Xian added. "Xie Tianhu was your master, but he had never taught you any proper martial arts so you had to come all the way here to steal his relics. Xun Tianyi, more needless to say, he only thought you can be taken advantage of so he was still nice to you."
"Even that xuanlong jian in your hands is also just stolen," Li Qian added. "Instead of snatching it from Jinshui, you were only able to take it from a weak girl. I see, even this sword is in control of you, you are not in control of it!"
"Hahaha, indeed a rotten human that no one wants," Qin Liangjie laughed, "can only be a thief and loser forever, will never become a real hero."
The last words had the most impact on Huang Zhe. True, he was indeed a person no one wanted. Ever since his younger brother became Chailang descendant, his jealousy had grown, but this had become a weakness for him. Even though his parents never considered him more than his brother, at least they were the last people who still loved him.
Since Hailang Biaoju was destroyed he really lost everything, from a young master who had everything he had to live life with great hardships. Xie Tianhu accepted him as a disciple, in fact, he was only used, and never treated well at all.
Lin Jixuan's scheme was not fruitless. Huang Zhe did not give a word in reply, but also could not hide the blood flowing at the corners of his lips, indicating that he had received another internal wound. His hands seemed to be trembling, he should still have enough strength to run away, but his body was hard to take away.
Jinshui didn't waste any chance, he had already chanted the eighth level of wuqing xue energy, with one move he managed to grab the xuanlong sword in Huang Zhe's hand, then thrust it into that first son of Huang Weiqun. Huang Zhe once again glared at him, only for a moment before he breathed his last breath without saying anything else.
Huang Yu took a step closer, covering his brother's eyes before Jinshui pulled the xuanlong jian from his body. Huang Zhe slumped down. Liao Xian took the yin shou yang zhang manual hidden under his clothes.
Bao Xinfei secretly left Huofeng Lou when Liuxin joined his friends to fill the position in the mojie chen. The madam knew that the Yumen descendants had already arrived, and she didn't like anything to do with them. Her condition was quite badly injured, her eyes could only see blurry visions, and she knew that meeting them at this time would humble herself, so she chose to leave while there was a chance.
Xiu-er already lost her life, Jinfei and Jinguang were also killed. Only Mu Caisheng was still alive, but he also had no hatred towards Jinshui or the descendants. He only asked Jinshui how Xu Qiao was and when he found out that his master's daughter was fine, he only asked Jinshui to take good care of her.
Ma Yongtao was stabbed deep enough by the xuanlong sword. He laid in Zhu Baique's lap, his face was pale and he was no longer breathing. Jinshui came closer, forcing him to swallow a medicinal pill. Zhu Baique looked at him, not knowing if the pill could revive the dead.
It was at this time that suddenly from outside Huofeng Lou came the sounds of human screams and neighing of horses becoming one. Lin Jixuan jumped onto the roof to see what was happening and found that a number of imperial army troops had already arrived there, then reported to Jinshui and the others.
"The commander who escorted Yue-xiong yesterday came again with his men," he said, "but they seemed more fierce."
"Commander Ti came to pick up Liuxin Junzhu. Anyone in there holding Junzhu will be killed without mercy," the old commander's screams could be heard from outside. "Fire arrows have been prepared, at any moment they could crush Huofeng Lou to the ground."
Liuxin grabbed Yue Songdai's hand. Jinshui stood up and left Ma Yongtao, about to welcome Commander Ti.
"Hua Gege, Liuxin can't fight alongside you for the time being," Liuxin spoke to her descendant friends. "My father must have passed orders for Commander Ti to bring me home, I know he must have also given orders to kill anyone who was with me," Liuxin said. "Liuxin doesn't want to involve any of you, I have to leave with Yue Dage. Dead or alive, depending on our own luck."
"We will definitely stay alive," Yue Songdai continued, "For the time being escape to a secluded place first, later when wangye's anger subsides we will definitely return to zhongyuan. Only then can we continue our fight with you."
"Huang Yu and Li Qian can accompany you all the way to safety," Jinshui naturally wasn't comfortable letting Liuxin go only with Yue Songdai.
"There is no need," Liuxin knew the characters of her father. "Right now Yue Dage and I can't involve anyone, moreover don't want to involve the other brothers. Hua Gege, Liuxin promised to take good care of her life, and will definitely return to the Yumen headquarters at a later time."
"Whoever is in there, please surrender properly!" Commander Ti's scream was heard again. "As long as it is willing to let Junzhu go, then Ti Qing will beg for forgiveness!"
"Jinshui," Huang Yu reminded Jinshui, "Our Yumen Jiao still has a long way to go, it can't be hostile to the imperial army. This time, we have to let Liuxin go."
Jinshui didn't have much choice. He could only hand Liuxin a command plate inscribed with the letters shui – water. A mark indicated Liuxin's predecessor, Shuiyao the Water Fairy.
"The people of Yumen in the future may not recognize you when you return to Baiyu Shan," he said, "you take this with you, then they will know that you are one of Yumen guardians."
"Hua Gege, Liuxin can't enjoy your wedding wine, really regret it."
Liuxin hugged Jinshui once, then she and Yue Songdai headed for the back of Huofeng Lou, retrieved two horses from the stables, and galloped southwards. By that time it was getting late at night, there was still a chance of escaping Commander Ti's troops. Liuxin once looked back. The fire arrows had been released. Part of the buildings in Huofeng Lou started to burn.
Huang Yu along with Li Qian and Liao Xian headed out and talked to the troops who were there, blocking them before they went inside. Jinshui approached Ma Yongtao and still couldn't find a pulse or breath from his friend.
"Just take him with you, we'll bury him later," he said to Zhu Baique.
"Xiongdi, why would you want to bury a living person?" suddenly a soft voice answered, slightly startling Zhu Baique who was still cradling him. The dead man was still able to speak.
Ma Yongtao smiled even though he was still lying down with his eyes tightly closed. He was seriously injured, but apparently not dead. The medicine that Jinshui gave him just now had saved him at the right time.
"If you're still alive, why don't you wake up soon? Do you want to let yourself be roasted in here?" Jinshui asked. His voice was flat as if not surprised at all. Apparently, someone who had mastered the highest level of wuqing xue can control their emotions easily. He was surprised because just now it was obvious that Ma Yongtao was no longer breathing, but he was also relieved to see his friend alive.
"If I could get up, I would have woken up earlier," Ma Yongtao grumbled at him, "you are supposed to help me."
Zhu Baique quickly supported him to his feet, holding up his wound with a torn sleeve. Jinshui preceded them out through the front door, following Huang Yu, Li Qian, and Liao Xian openly met Commander Ti.
"Ti Daren, it seems you are misinformed. We Yumen people are here catching criminals who want to tarnish our sect's name, it has nothing to do with Liuxin Junzhu," he said, "a while ago, I heard that Liuxin Junzhu is already on her way to the border area."
It wasn't that Commander Ti didn't know that Jinshui's words had some truth and no truth to it. Arresting criminals here had nothing to do with Liuxin because, in fact, those criminals had nothing to do with Liuxin, but Liuxin was with them to catch those criminals. Some time ago Liuxin was already on her way to the border, but Jinshui didn't mention that some time ago it was only a few minutes. Some words that actually did not lie.
"You must be the leader of Yumen Jiao, Hua Jinshui, Hua Jiaozhu," Commander Ti recognized the person he was talking to. "We met some time ago but didn't get to know each other, only recently found out that the leader of Yumen Jiao is a well-known figure in the martial world."
"My surname is Wu, Wu Jinshui," Jinshui had openly introduced himself by using his father's surname.
"Wu Jiaozhu," Commander Ti greeted him properly. "Mojiang had just received an assignment from the noble Xianjing Wang to bring his beloved daughter home, presumably because Xiangjing Wang found out that Mojiang had only met Liuxin Junzhu a few days ago."
"Ti Daren still has work to do, we dare not bother you," Jinshui said again. "We Yumen people just caught a criminal, actually wanted to invite Daren to celebrate together, don't know if Daren would be willing to drink with us the members of the demonic sect."
"Wu Jiaozhu is too humble," Commander Ti replied. "Alright, since I misunderstood just now, I apologize to you. But we still have a task, forced to decline your invitation. If another day there is a chance, maybe I can just drink with you until drunk."
Commander Ti didn't leave quickly and still had time to talk casually with Jinshui and the others. Apparently, he gave Liuxin and the young man he had saved to go further. The task given by Xianjing Wang had to be done, but he couldn't deny himself either, in his mind he really wanted to let Liuxin and her lover go to a safe place.
Part of the buildings in Huofeng Lou had already caught fire. Commander Ti, in order to give Liuxin more time, still had time to ask his men to help put out the fire, saying that he had set fire to the wrong house.
Jinshui and the others left after burying the dead and cleaning up everything. Huang Zhe's body was also buried, and his younger brother was the only one to burn him some praying papers.
