Chapter 156 It’s hard to fly with wings
Late at midnight, the Iron Palm Sect leader Zheng Tiandiao and second in command Xu Tieya, led seven or eight Iron Palm Sect disciples, protected the embarrassed Wang Xutong and Qi Tai, and hurriedly fled Luoyang City, fleeing all the way north.

The group walked for 20 miles without stopping, and came to a deep and endless forest of dead trees. The pale-faced Wang Xutong's pace became slower and slower. Although Qi Tai and Xu Tieya carefully supported him on both sides, Wang Xutong was exhausted and his legs were weak, and he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

"How dare you, Luo Tianjin, to hire someone to deal with me..." Wang Xutong slowly crept forward while gritting his teeth and cursing, "I swear that I will tear you into pieces in the future, and make the people in your Xianwang Mansion unable to live or die! Do you think I won't recognize you if you find some new faces and disguise them? I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

"Your Highness, let's hurry up!" Qi Tai repeatedly advised, "Since Luo Tianjin has already attacked us, he will definitely kill us all. Once they find that we have escaped, they will definitely send people to hunt us down. We can't stay here for long. The only thing we can do now is to run as far away as possible!"

"That's right!" Xu Tieya echoed, "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Now that Luo Tianjin is well prepared, we must not fight him head-on. The best strategy is to run away."

Wang Xutong looked at Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya, who were in a panic, and said slowly, "If you hadn't brought people to rescue me tonight, I would have had difficulty escaping. You have done a great job in saving the master, and I will reward you for your merits when I return to Helin."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya were delighted and hurried to thank him. Tonight, they led 300 disciples of the Iron Sect to the General's Mansion to rescue Wang Xutong. Now only the seven or eight people around him were left.

Seeing the Iron Palm Gang they had worked so hard to build destroyed overnight, it would be a lie to say they were not heartbroken, but Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya had their own plans in mind, knowing that if Wang Xutong left, Luo Tianjin would kill them, and Luoyang City would definitely not survive. Therefore, they had no choice but to risk everything and protect Wang Xutong at all costs. As long as Wang Xutong was safe and sound, they would definitely enjoy wealth and glory in the future.

"Tonight, Luo Tianjin killed my entire family. This hatred is irreconcilable. One day, I will lead a large army to flatten Luoyang, massacre the entire city, and bury my entire family with him!" Wang Xutong thought of the tragic scene that just happened in the general's mansion. His eyes turned red and his hatred for Luo Tianjin deepened.

"Your Highness, as long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood." Qi Tai wiped the sweat off Wang Xutong's face with his sleeve and comforted him, "Luo Tianjin is courting death. Sooner or later, he will pay the price of blood for his stupidity today. When the time comes, let him kneel before Your Highness and kowtow ten thousand times, and then slowly torture him to death! Your Highness is an eagle on the grassland, an invincible god of war!"

While they were talking, the group had advanced another mile or two.

Just as Zheng Tiandiao was anxiously looking around to determine the direction, he suddenly discovered that there was a person standing strangely less than three feet away from him and his group.

Due to the dim moonlight, Zheng Tiandiao and the others did not notice the man moving at all. It was not until they came close to him that they were suddenly awakened.

"Who?"

Zheng Tiandiao shouted an order and the seven or eight disciples behind him immediately rushed forward, holding their swords in front of their chests with a fierce look in their eyes.

"it's me!"

Xie Xuan's cold voice sounded quietly, and then his figure flashed. Xie Xuan, who was just three meters away, stood less than three meters in front of Zheng Tiandiao in the blink of an eye.

Under the moonlight, there was no expression on Xie Xuan's face, nor any unnecessary movements on his body. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a zombie.

"Thank you...Thank you, Master..."

As soon as they saw Xie Xuan, Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya's faces suddenly turned extremely ugly. At the same time, Wang Xutong and Qi Tai also showed horror on their faces. Even the seven or eight Iron Palm disciples standing in the front subconsciously took two steps back after hearing Xie Xuan's name.

"Your Highness, you are in such a hurry to leave. Where are you going?" Xie Xuan's deep old eyes seemed to be able to see through Wang Xutong's heart, which made Wang Xutong feel a chill in his bones. "Why don't you let my master see you off?"

"Xie Xuan, you..."

"Thank you, Second Master!" Before Wang Xutong could scold him, Zheng Tiandiao spoke first, "Your Highness has important matters to attend to, so he didn't have time to say goodbye to Lord Luo. When you return to Luoyang, you will visit Lord Luo." Although Zheng Tiandiao knew Xie Xuan's intention, since Xie Xuan didn't break the window paper at this moment, he naturally had to pretend to be confused. In his opinion, this might be a glimmer of hope.

"Ha ha……"

Zheng Tiandiao pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, but unexpectedly Xie Xuan suddenly sneered. At this moment, he looked at Wang Xutong and others with eyes full of contempt and disdain, as if he was laughing at a group of idiots.

"Why is Mr. Xie laughing?" Xu Tieya pondered.

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "I am here on the orders of the Palace Master to send General Wang on his way. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Zheng Tiandiao asked knowingly, "What does Mr. Xie mean by this?"

"What I mean is that whoever dares to stop me from killing Wang Xutong tonight will have to die with him!" Xie Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone became fierce.

"Hmph! I knew you had bad intentions!" Zheng Tiandiao said coldly, "Xie Xuan, I respect you as a man, why are you so stubborn? If you continue to follow Luo Tianjin, you will only end up dead. Now he has offended the prince, and he doesn't even know that his death is approaching. Why don't you be buried with him? Why don't you turn to the light tonight and join the Mongolian court? I believe that with the prince guaranteeing you, you will be promoted and enjoy a prosperous life!"

Wang Xutong nodded and agreed, "Yes, if you are willing to surrender to me, I will recommend you to the Khan as the general of Luoyang. What do you think?"

Facing the dying Zheng Tiandiao and Wang Xutong, Xie Xuan sneered and shook his head slowly. "Xie Xuan, don't refuse a toast!" Zheng Tiandiao shouted, "Although you are the leader of the Seven Heroes in the Xianwang Mansion, don't think I'm really afraid of you. I've been in Luoyang City for so many years, and I've never seen you take action. Who knows if your Dharma Finger is just a name?"

"Since you are determined to die with Wang Xutong, then I will grant your wish!" Xie Xuan's eyes darkened and he immediately attacked Wang Xutong.

"There's a reward of 100,000 for killing him!" Zheng Tiandiao gave the order immediately.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Under the temptation of 100,000 gold, seven or eight disciples of the Iron Palm Sect did not care about Xie Xuan's great reputation, and they all picked up their swords and shouted as they rushed towards Xie Xuan.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of noises followed one after another in the forest. In the blink of an eye, the seven or eight murderous disciples had turned into corpses in Xie Xuan's hands.

Seeing this, Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya were suddenly startled. They looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes. Then they flew towards Xie Xuan together. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, did not hold back at all, and immediately displayed their lifelong skills.

"Xie Xuan, have you ever experienced Xu's Hunyuan Yiqi Palm?"

"And my Iron Palm!"

Xu Tieya and Zheng Tiandiao shouted loudly one after another. At the same time, two palm winds filled with Xie Xuan's internal strength also whistled towards them from the left and right.

"How dare you use such a trivial trick to embarrass yourself!"

Facing the attack from the two, Xie Xuan remained calm and composed. He slowly raised his hands in front of him. Although the movement seemed slow, it was actually extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he swung his hands to both sides of his body, and then quickly crossed them in front of his chest. His two strong and powerful hands each extended a middle finger, and at the same time, the knuckles also swelled rapidly at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

In an instant, the Hunyuan Yiqi Palm and the Qianjun Iron Palm had already hit Xie Xuan's ears. An ordinary move of "double wind filling the ears" was enough to kill a person, not to mention the terrifying palm power of Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya. If they hit, even if Xie Xuan's head was made of diamond and stone, it would be crushed in an instant.

In a flash, at the critical moment, Xie Xuan's two fingers suddenly shot out to the left and right, directly meeting the palms of Xu Tieya and Zheng Tiandiao. When his two middle fingers touched the palms of the two, there was no obstruction at all. With two faint "puff" sounds, Xie Xuan's two fingers pierced through the palms of Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya like chopsticks piercing tofu.

The palms were pierced, and the internal force was overturned. However, the power in Xie Xuan's fingers did not decrease at all. It directly hit the arms of the two people and rushed up to their hearts, shattering all the bones and tendons encountered along the way. Finally, the two fingers hit the dragon directly, and at the same time, the internal organs and meridians of Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya were crushed into powder, and turned into a piece of rotten meat.

Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya didn't even have time to utter a single wail before their bodies collapsed to the ground like deflated balls.

They died in a horrible way, with all their bones, meridians, flesh, and internal organs shattered, except for the skin covering their bodies. Imagine a complete skin bag wrapped in a pool of rotten flesh and bones, lying on the ground with some parts bulging and some parts deflated, and the bright red blood seeping through the pores of the body and gushing out. How horrible would it be?
Just now, Xie Xuan only used a small part of the power of the Dharma Finger, but he killed Zheng Tiandiao and Xu Tieya with one blow, which shows how unfathomable his martial arts are.

All the troubles were solved with one move, and Xie Xuan fixed his cold eyes on Wang Xutong and Qi Tai. Although the two were already extremely frightened, they now understood that when the time came, they had no choice but to fight to the death.

"Wang Xutong, it's time to send you on your way!"

"Xie Xuan, stop being so arrogant. If you want to hurt the prince, then you have to step over my dead body first..."

"Oh!"

"Forehead……"

Before Qi Tai, who had a ferocious look on his face, could finish his words, Xie Xuan suddenly waved his hand and pointed in the air. A terrifying force shot directly into Qi Tai's right eye and pierced out from the back of his head. Bright red blood mixed with broken skull and muddy white brain matter shot out together.

Qi Tai died instantly before he could even finish his words, and the death was so fast that after he fell, his left eye blinked a few times with resentment in it.

“Luo Tianjin!” Wang Xutong knew that his time had come, and he could not help but roar to the sky, “Don’t think that you can live in peace if you kill us. The Khan and the commander-in-chief are not fools. Sooner or later, they will find out what you have done, and then you will die without a burial place! Ah! God has doomed me! God has doomed me!”

Amid Wang Xutong's grief-stricken and heart-wrenching roars, Xie Xuan slowly walked forward with an expressionless face. His strong and powerful right hand suddenly enlarged under Wang Xutong's complex gaze, which was a mixture of fear, anger, unwillingness and hatred.

In an instant, the sky and the earth became bleak, the moonlight shivered, and the dead forest fell into deathly silence again.
