Chapter 419

Hearing An Ziyang's words, the old Daoist frowned, but didn't say much, stepped on his feet, and ran toward the distance.

After running for another hundred feet, An Ziyang shouted again.

"Daoist, go there, that side!"

The old Daoist followed his words, flew to the roof of the residential house An Ziyang pointed to, and put down An Ziyang and Mei Qinghe.

The two landed but didn't stop at all, as if chased by something, jumped off the roof in a flash, rushed into the first floor along the stairs, and pressed the mechanism on the corner wall.

Clatter—

The ground opened, revealing a deep secret passage.

The two jumped in together, and the old Daoist followed them in.

An Ziyang pressed a mechanism on the wall of the secret passage, and the entrance closed slowly.

He then turned and ran toward the depths of the secret passage.

After turning around, it took about half a cup of tea time, and the three ran to the end of the secret passage. At the end of the secret passage was another bottomless hole, the three jumped down again, slid down several feet, and finally landed.

As soon as they landed, there was a sound of pulling bowstrings and drawing swords in the darkness, accompanied by the buzzing of Gu insects from all sides.

An Ziyang waved his hand.

"Light the lamp, it's me!"

"How is the preparation?"

As soon as he spoke, someone in the darkness shouted "Battalion Commander," and then lights lit up from all directions, illuminating the faces of dozens of Embroidered Uniform Guards and Tang Men disciples.

One of the Embroidered Uniform Guard company commanders stepped forward and bowed.

"Battalion Commander, although things came in a hurry, with the assistance of Tang Men disciples and the old craftsmen drawn from Wang Gongchang, it is considered well-arranged and can be launched at any time!"

An Ziyang nodded.

"Where is the trigger mechanism?"

The company commander pointed.

In the center of this secret room, a four-foot-square platform rose, the center of the platform was hollow, and one could see many mechanisms rotating inside, and a vertical pole—half a hemp rope stretched out from the middle.

An Ziyang walked quickly to the hemp rope and grabbed it.

About to pull.

But the next moment, his shoulders suddenly loosened, as if he had instantly lost his strength, and he gasped for breath.

"No, no, we are too urgent... is it not time yet, Sister Mei, is it not a cup of tea time?"

He turned to look at Mei Qinghe beside him and asked.

Mei Qinghe shook her head.

"No, from the Guard Commander's order to now, it is exactly a cup of tea time, you should pull it now."

An Ziyang gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at the hemp rope in his hand.

"Is it really time... should I really pull it..."

The playful expression of the past disappeared, and only hesitation and solemnity remained on An Ziyang's face.

His hands, hands that could precisely manipulate dozens of Tang Men's secret mechanisms and hidden weapons, were trembling visibly.

"Sister Mei, I..."

Mei Qinghe stepped forward and held his arm.

"This is the Guard Commander's order."

"But—this might cost the Guard Commander his life!"

"If you don't pull it, I will."

The two looked at each other, Mei Qinghe exerted force on her arm, and bit by bit pried An Ziyang's hand open.

She was a Peak expert, a Peak expert who could kill Heaven-Men; An Ziyang was not her opponent and could only loosen his hand bit by bit.

Then heard Mei Qinghe say.

"The Guard Commander said that you are the one among us who makes him feel most at ease, while I am the one who makes him least worry-free, but he let me come with you... he knew long ago that you might not be able to pull it."

An Ziyang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Brother An, your heart is too soft; you are ruthless to outsiders, but soft-hearted to your own people; the Guard Commander saw this clearly long ago."

"I'll do it."

Mei Qinghe reached out and pushed An Ziyang away, holding the hemp rope.

An Ziyang retreated several steps and looked up. Mei Qinghe pulled the hemp rope violently.

Following her action, the hemp rope pulled the mechanism.

Clatter—

Inside the hollow stone platform, the mechanism began to rotate slowly, faster and faster, faster and faster. The sound spread along the wall and went up toward the ground.

Finally, it was transmitted to the ground.

Directly above the secret room, the blood pool on the ground rippled.

Li Miao felt the rotation of the mechanism, the corners of his mouth curled up, but his hands didn't stop at all, and he threw another punch!

Boom!

Zheng Anqi Sheng was smashed into the high sky abruptly!

Li Miao then jumped up, appeared above his head, and smashed him away again with a leg axe!

Several Jianghu people in front who had already had their legs smashed and were crawling out with their hands, looked at the shadow constantly enlarging in front of them, their faces full of despair.

The next moment—Swish!

Flesh and blood were crushed into a thin sheet.

Zheng Anqi Sheng's momentum did not disappear, and he drilled several feet into the ground again before slowly stopping.

He was still spotless, except for a wound left by Li Miao at the beginning, he was unscathed.

After retracting true energy and only defending without attacking, Li Miao could not break through his protective true energy at all.

He seemed to be invincible.

But he stood up from the sunken ground, but suddenly lowered his head and looked at his feet.

The protective true energy rolled, and a touch of black powder in the gravel was rolled up and sent to his hand.

He twisted it a few times and smelled it.

"Gunpowder."

Li Miao's voice rang out at close range.

"You guessed it."

Boom!

Li Miao appeared above his head, smashed a punch onto his protective true energy, and smashed him into the ground by another foot.

"Pity it's too late."

Li Miao half-squatted on his protective true energy, and threw another punch with a ferocious smile.

Boom!

Zheng Anqi Sheng sank into the ground by another foot again.

He raised his head and looked at Li Miao through the transparent protective true energy.

"This is your method."

Li Miao threw a punch.

Boom!

"That's right."

Boom!

"After exchanging a few moves with you that night, I knew I couldn't break your protective true energy. How to say, although this thousand-year cultivation only cultivated a combination of four paths, I still look down on you, but—"

Boom!

"But, you still have something."

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

Fists fell on the protective true energy like a meteorite rain.

The momentum was so fierce that it even rippled like water on the protective true energy, the skin and flesh of Li Miao's fist were damaged, gradually revealing the stark white finger bones, but he didn't stop at all.

Just bit by bit, he wedged Zheng Anqi Sheng into the ground, so that he could not move or escape.

"In terms of Wu Gong accumulation, I am not as good as you, but who told me to be an official... I don't know if the gunpowder accumulated by this imperial court for decades can break your protective true energy?"

Boom!

The last punch fell on Zheng Anqi Sheng's head.

Li Miao said with a ferocious smile.

"Whether you and I can survive, let's—try it!"

Zheng Anqi Sheng's expression didn't change at all, looking at Li Miao coldly.

At the same time, the ground around suddenly bulged.

As if some giant object had turned over underground.

The next moment.

Endless light and heat, a huge flame close to a miracle, the largest and most dangerous weapon of this era, accompanied by a loud noise that spread for dozens of miles.

Boom!!!!!

Firelight soared dozens of feet!

Submerging Zheng Anqi Sheng and Li Miao.
