Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 29 Gale Quick Sword
On one side was the imposing reputation of Huang Xing, and on the other was the county magistrate's warrant.
Soon, several constables exchanged glances, sheathed their drawn swords, and silently stood aside, obviously unwilling to go against the yamen for the sake of Constable Huang Xing.
People are social animals. Seeing someone taking the lead, most of the constables behind followed suit, sheathing their swords and lowering their heads,不敢看 Huang Xing's gloomy gaze.
In an instant, only four or five people remained standing behind Huang Xing, including Chen Yuan.
Huang Xing was greatly surprised to see Chen Yuan silently standing behind him. Just as he was about to say a few words of encouragement, he saw Chen Yuan smile at him and step aside with his sword.
Clearly, he was planning to watch the show.
The conflict in front of the Huang family's gate attracted many onlookers, and many people were discussing it, with no shortage of cheers.
Huang Xing snorted coldly. The next moment, dozens of guards poured out from within the Huang family, glaring at Tie Xuan and his group with long swords in their hands.
They lined up in two rows, seemingly welcoming someone's arrival.
Soon, Huang Sheng Nian, the head of the Huang family, wearing a green robe and sporting a goatee, walked out expressionlessly.
"Patrol!" Huang Xing's eyes flickered, as if asking if the family was ready.
The Huang family did have a lot of evidence. Once it was seized, it would be a crime punishable by extermination. His purpose in delaying Tie Xuan here was to give them a chance to destroy all the evidence as quickly as possible.
As long as there was no evidence, the Huang family could remain safe and sound under Li Mingqi's protection.
The Huang family had given the Li family no shortage of gifts over the years. If he didn't help protect them at this time, who would follow him in the future?
A trace of gloom flashed in Huang Sheng Nian's eyes, and he shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Huang Xing took a deep breath, realizing that things were about to go wrong.
"What? Patrol Huang wouldn't think that only this place has been blocked, right?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Tie Xuan's mouth.
How could he not know the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows?
All the exits of the entire Huang family were guarded by constables, all of whom were from the six offices of the county yamen. No one dared disobey Wu Qingfeng's order.
"Brother Tie, the Huang family doesn't seem to have offended you, right? Why be so aggressive today?" Huang Sheng Nian stood with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly as he looked at Tie Xuan.
"Never offended? Heh... Huang Xing, you wouldn't really think I don't know who was instigating Song Lao Liu from behind, would you? Let me tell you, he has long been seen through by this constable, and everything about the Huang family is also under this constable's control."
Tie Xuan had an air of confidence, and even Chen Yuan, who was watching from the sidelines, almost believed it.
"What is Brother Tie saying? Huang doesn't understand at all. Could it be that someone is slandering..." Huang Xing's expression remained unchanged.
"Hmph, whether it's slander or not, you know it clearly in your heart. Enough nonsense. If you really know what's good for you, stop now. As long as no incriminating evidence is found in the Huang family, this constable will definitely come to apologize!"
"If Iron Arrester succeeds in forcibly breaking in, my Huang family will have no status to speak of in the future. This matter is absolutely impossible!" Huang Sheng Nian refused directly.
"Then there's nothing to talk about..." Tie Xuan drew a short spear from behind him, and with a sudden flick, the short spear transformed into a long spear with a click. The spearhead was cold and sharp, and the black tassel moved with the wind.
"I've long heard that the Tie family's spear technique is the best in Ping An County. Huang has long wanted to see it. I wonder how it compares to my Huang family's Gale Quick Sword..." Huang Sheng Nian stepped forward.
A guard behind him shouted:
"Patriarch, take the sword!"
With a 'shua' sound, a green long sword was unsheathed. Huang Sheng Nian looked directly at Tie Xuan, casually took the sword, and the sword body was engraved with green wind patterns.
The sword pointed at Tie Xuan!
Tie Xuan shook his long spear, making a buzzing sound, and said coldly:
"The Huang family colluded with the Unborn Sect bandits to cause chaos in Ping An. By order of the county magistrate, all members of the Huang family will be arrested and imprisoned. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Do it!"
Tie Xuan gave a low shout, faced Huang Sheng Nian, and a point of cold light came first, followed by the spear like a dragon!
The long spear swung, stabbing straight at his chest.
Huang Sheng Nian's expression was solemn. He took three steps back, and the long sword in his hand brought out an afterimage and swung violently.
With a 'ding' sound, he deflected it.
Then, the two fiercely clashed together, sword shadows and spear shadows constantly appearing. On the ground within two zhang, clear sword marks could be seen.
Chen Yuan observed, a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
This kind of strength was far beyond him. With just the Sword Drawing Technique, he probably wouldn't last a few moves.
At Tie Xuan's command, the constables he brought charged towards the Huang family's guards.
Huang Xing waved his sword, and the guards behind him did not have a trace of fear on their faces, and even showed some fanaticism.
The people present, apart from the group of commoners watching from afar, were only the constables Huang Xing had brought before. They looked at each other, not knowing who to help.
Among them was Chen Yuan.
His eyes were fixed on the battle between Tie Xuan and Huang Sheng Nian, the head of the Huang family.
Almost every strike in the two men's battle was an afterimage. The sharp sword energy cut through the cold light, and more than a dozen conspicuous sword marks were cut on the ground.
The Gale Quick Sword lived up to its name!
This sword technique had a great reputation in Ping An County and was regarded as the Huang family's unique skill, never passed on to outsiders. It was a higher level than the martial arts in the county yamen.
As for the Tie family's spear technique, Chen Yuan had seen it before. Chen Yuan had been watching the previous battle between Tie Qinghua and Song Lao Liu, but the spear technique Tie Xuan used now was several times stronger than Tie Qinghua's.
Could it be because men have a spear, while women don't?
A strange thought flashed in Chen Yuan's mind.
On a rooftop five hundred meters away from the Huang family, stood five figures, led by the stern-faced Zhang Xuan.
"This Tie Xuan's strength is not ordinary. At the Bone Forging level, there are probably few opponents in this Ping An County..." A man wearing black Xuan clothing with a scar on his face said in a low voice.
On his clothes were embroidered cloud-like patterns, consistent with the patterns on Zhang Xuan's body. The only difference was that his was black, while Zhang Xuan's was white.
"What does Lord think of this person?" A burly man said in a muffled voice.
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said:
"He's too old, not suitable for the Sky Survey Division. Moreover, he may not be willing to come. The power that a jailer in a county yamen wields is not comparable to that of a Sky Surveyor."
"Power? It's only for ordinary people. In front of us, what does a jailer amount to?" A middle-aged man with a face full of pockmarks muttered.
"Yue Shan..." Zhang Xuan called out softly.
"Lord!"
The burly man cupped his fists in his hands.
"Leave that Huang Xing to you. Don't reveal your identity for the time being!"
