Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1177 – Dignity?

The thousand-man shield formation began to close, and on the thick and heavy shields that were as tall as human beings, special spell symbols of the weapons workshop were added to them, and each shield was sturdy and thick. With sucuge shield formation, even if the enemy used heavy crossbows, they would still be unable to disperse it.

At this moment, An Zheng couldn’t help but think of Fang Tanzhi, that fellow who stood alone outside the main entrance of Qinguan, likhousand of them.

At this time, An Zheng was also doing similar things, it was just that, An Zheng was facing his own people.

In the restaurant across the general’s estate, Xue Gouchen, who was sitting next to a window on the third floor, sipped on the hot tea in his hand and felt slightly better. If one sat here, they could easily see the huge courtyard of the general’s manor, and could even see An Zheng who was surrounded by a shield formation. The young man who had already taken off the official uniform of the DEA was like a little kid who had just entered the martial arts world, ignorant and fearless.

Standing beside Xue Gouchen was a scholar who looked to be around forty years old. He wore a scholar’s robe and stared fixedly at the yard with his lips tightly parted. noticed that he was clenching his fist tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

“Celebration?”

Xue Gouchen called out, but the person did not seem to hear him as he continued to stare at the courtyard.

“Celebration?”

“Hmm?”

After the second sound, there was finally a response. Guo Qingxiao lowered his head and asked, “What is Sir’s order?”

“What are you nervous about?”

“Subordinate …” Not nervous, but thinking about something. ”

“What is it?”

“Does An Zheng know of Mr. Fang’s identity?”

“What’s the difference between knowing and not knowing?”

“If An Zheng knows, then he ierrifying person, please be careful, milord. If he does not know, then he is a boorish man and is nothing to worry about. ”

“How?”

“If An Zheng knew that Mr. Fang was the already retired Si Ma from the DEA, and also knew of the relationship between Mr. Fang and the Your Majesty, then he would be like a brute rushing in to take An Caichen away and take revenge for Mr. Fang. “Because the Your Majesty will definitely not allow another person from the DEA to die in the hands of the border armies …”

Xue Gouchen’s face suddenly changed. “What do you mean?”

“Now that Mr. Fang is dead, the huge rock in the lord’s heart has been removed. For so many years, the Lord had always been in charge of the DEA, but behind the scenes, Mr. Fang had only paid no attention to him. But Mr. Fang’s abbot was as steady as a mountain. Why? It was because the Your Majesty trusted Mr. Fang, so why would Mr. Fang die? “Because Mr. Fang doesn’t want to be the chairman anymore.”

“So, did the lord consider this matter?”

Xue Gouchen’s face became somewhat pale: “Continue speaking.”

“Because Mr. Fang is unwilling to continue working in the DEA, the Your Majesty may seem very tolerant and forgiving towards his retirement, but before that, he was told to come to the Qinguan. Coincidentally, Mr Fang died in Qinguan. Although Mr. Fang has not been involved in many things in the DEA for the past few years, there is no doubt that Mr. Fang possesses far more secrets than Master. ”

“How could the Your Majesty let someone who had retired hold so many secrets? After all, if this matter were to spread, it would affect the reputation of the Your Majesty. Thus, the lord had never thought of this … The blade behind Mr Fang was actually executed by the border army after they received the orders from the Your Majesty? If that’s really the case, then the Your Majesty will definitely not allow for irreconcilable conflicts between the border armies and the DEA s. A An Caichen is fine, after all, he does not hold the position of DEA, so even if he is Mr Fang’s most prized disciple, punishing him would not be a big deal. ”

“But …” An Zheng is the supervisor of DEA, and the one with the most authority, so he is ranked third in DEA. If An Zheng were to die in the courtyard of the border army general’s mansion, my lord would just sit here and not pay any attention to him … ”

Guo Qingxiao whispered into Xue Gouchen’s ears, “Your Majesty might consider it, perhaps Lord is deliberately eliminating me.”

Xue Gouchen clenched his fists even harder than what Guo Qingxiao had clenched just now.

In the courtyard, An Zheng held onto the long blade that he had snatched from the soldiers and rushed out, straight towards the shield array. A few hundred arrows suddenly rained down on him like rain, but he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of An Zheng’s figure.

In the next second, An Zheng appeared at the other side of the shield array, the blade in his hand horizontally swept out. It was only an extremely ordinary border guard type blade, and could not be considered as an amazing weapon, thus it could not handle An Zheng’s berserk strength.

His long blade swept out and a crescent-shaped saber Qi that was more than a dozen meters long slashed out. With a ‘shua’ sound, the shield array in front of him was cut in half. All of the huge shields were cleaved in half by this strike.

The blade in An Zheng’s hand shattered wita sound, dropping down bit by bit. But if the shield was broken, it would be more valuable than a broken sabre.

An Zheng took out his blade from a soldier’s waist. Like a leaf floating erratically amidst the thunder and lightning, the rain curtain appeared because of the blood spraying out. Likiger entering a flock of sheep, An Zheng charged into the shield formation. When the saber slashed out, the throat was severed. A few seconds later, the knife shattered. An Zheng drew his blade again, and started killing. He changed his blade, and started killing.

Moments later, a thick layer of corpses lay on the ground.

At this point, there seemed to be no turning back.

“Even if you are the supervisor of DEA, even if Your Majesty values you highly, you will certainly die today.”

Qin Shuang waved his hand, and that shining and overflowing bow appeared in the middle of his palm. His left hand held onto the bow, and his right hand pulled back. Three rainbow-coloured arrows shot out in a blink of an eye, straight at An Zheng. After the arrow was shot out, it disappeared and reappeared in front of An Zheng after passing through space. One face, one chest, one lower abdomen.

Dang, dang, dang!

With three crisp sounds, An Zheng’s body was pushed back several tens of meters by the arrow and directly retreated to the main entrance. Three holes had appeared on the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler in front of him. The three colorful arrows were still spinning on the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler, producing sparks.

An Zheng pushed the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler with both hands, causing a wound to appear on his wrist, and blood to flow out.

“Hmm?”

Qin Shuang did not expect that the three arrows would not be able to kill An Zheng. After all, in his opinion, An Caichen’s cultivation level was higher than An Zheng’s, if he could not even block it, how could An Zheng defend against it?

The three arrows had not stopped yet, but An Zheng’s body was still sliding backwards. At this time, An Zheng suddenly did something that caused people to be stupefied … He released his grip, and the arrow on Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler’s back shot towards him at an accelerated pace. In the nick of time, An Zheng flew into the air, and when he was in the air, he reached out and grabbed the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler’s handle, and then used his body to turn around and threw the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler out.

He went straight for Qin Shuang.

“Childish.”

Qin Shuang snorted, he raised his left hand and opened his palm. The Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler that was flying over was frozen in mid air, everyone’s heart tightened at the moment it stopped spinning.

He pressed down with his left hand, and the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler smashed into the ground with a boom. Many of the limestone tiles in the courtyard had been smashed into pieces. The Black Ruler continued to descend, but it was unknown just how many times it had penetrated into the ground.

Qin Shuang retracted his hands and stood with them crossed behind his back. Around him, a dozen of rainbow colored arrows floated, ready to shoot at An Zheng at any time.

But he did not attack.

Because An Zheng was already in the crowd.

The reason why An Zheng threw the Eight-Fold Black Heavy Ruler was not to harm Qin Shuang at all. He knew that Qin Shuang was in a much higher realm than him, so even if he managed to get lucky, it would be impossible for him to injure Qin Shuang.

His goal was only to stall Qin Shuang for a bit.

“Are there enough dead people?”

An Zheng stood in the middle of the group of soldiers.

“I don’t like to do this, but sometimes I don’t.”

An Zheng raised his blade and pressed it against a soldier’s neck.

“Before you kill me, I can guarantee that no one in this courtyard will be able to survive.”

“Arrogant.”

Qin Shuang’s eyes trembled, and a rainbow colored arrow appeared at the back of his head without any warning, and fiercely shot forward. His arrows could easily pierce through space and appear anywhere he wished.

An Zheng was definitely not a match for Qin Shuang, but since An Zheng dared to come, he was not here to deliberately throw his life away. Others couldn’t feel the arrow, An Zheng could. His perception had already improved a lot under Fang Tanzhi’s tutelage, and An Zheng could already tell the location of the arrow just by looking at it, and even before it appeared, An Zheng could already figure out where it came from just by looking at the changes in the Qi around it.

He only turned his head to the side to dodge, and the arrow shot towards the head of the border soldier in front of An Zheng, exploding it.

An Zheng turned his head back, his hair floating forward due to the the force of the arrow.

“Give An Caichen to me.”

An Zheng looked at Qin Shuang and enunciated each word clearly: “I can’t kill you, but you can’t kill me either. I can play with you for three days and three nights, even until next month if you like. ”

Qin Shuang’s face paled, this was the first time his entire aura had been thrown into disorder by someone whose cultivation level was lower than his.

“If I give you my men, where will the dignity of my side army go?”

“Then keep fighting.”

An Zheng’s blade was placed on the neck of the other soldier.

“When Mr. Fang stood alone at the city gate defending against the Nine Saint Sect’s army, he was definitely thinking of protecting the safety of all of you. He was willing to stand there because he believed that he could protect you and that he was safe behind you. He gave his back to you, and you stabbed him in the back. ”

The corners of An Zheng’s mouth curled up, looking somewhat cold and cruel.

“I don’t care what you’re stabbing at. After this stab, all of you who witnessed Mr Fang’s death that day will die.”

He asked the border soldier standing next to him, “Were you there that day?”

“I …” “Here.”

When the person answered, his voice was trembling likiece of cloth that had been blown away by the wind. In his hoarse voice, there was a hint of despair.

Witu sound, An Zheng’s blade grazed his throat.

“Then you deserve to die.”

An Zheng walked to the side of another person and raised his blade once again.

“Qin Shuang, hand An Caichen over to me. This is the last time I’ll say this. If you don’t, from today onwards, I will be the ghost of this Qinguan city. Those people that Mr. Fang used their lives to protect, I killed one by one to pay my respects to Mr. Fang. You definitely won’t be able to catch me, and you don’t know where I am. When you’re the only one left, I’d actually like to see the dignity of your border army! ”

An Zheng’s final question was like a clap of thunder in the nine heavens.
