103: The Case of Yitian
Su Wen then shouted, "Don't believe his nonsense! This female Buddha isn't a Buddha statue, it's a person!" With that, Su Wen reached out and forcefully ripped the female Buddha off the Buddha statue.
Then everyone saw that the female Buddha was naked, her hands, feet and head were gone, and there was even a huge scar on her abdomen!
Su Wen shouted, "A year ago, when I was investigating the mysterious case in Youzhou, two prostitutes were murdered, but we only found the body of one woman. The body of another woman was missing. At the time, we were only focused on solving the case and did not investigate the whereabouts of the body. Now it seems that Xue Huaiyi must have secretly transported the body to Shazhou and handed it over to the so-called new Buddha, Yitian, that you speak of!"
As he spoke, Su Wen shouted loudly, "Was that old man just now Yi Tian? Why aren't you coming out?"
The monk then laughed loudly, "You fiends, how dare you spout such nonsense here! Four Vajras, kill him!"
Having said that, one of the Four Vajras, wielding a steel whip, charged towards Su Wen first.
Upon seeing this, Su Wen hurriedly jumped off the platform to escape. However, the next second, several people suddenly rushed out from the crowd of people, drew knives from somewhere, and charged towards Su Wen.
Xiao Bi then turned sideways, flung the cloth out, and took a few steps forward. In the blink of an eye, she had assembled the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword), and using the sword as leverage, she sped away.
He grabbed the knife handle with both hands, stepped forward, and used his waist strength to sweep away a thousand soldiers.
The Mo Dao, a powerful weapon, was like a tiger descending the mountain. One of the men raised his sword to block it, but how could a sword withstand the ferocity of the Mo Dao?
With just one strike, the man was knocked to the ground. The Mo Dao was unstoppable and continued to sweep across. One of the men didn't even have time to react and was cut in two by the Mo Dao, dying on the spot!
The four Vajras with swords stepped forward to strike, but Xu Ge, who was on the side, simply threw off the cloth wrapped on his back, grabbed the two ends of a spear, bent over to dodge the Vajra's sword swing. The blade grazed the Vajra's nose, but Xu Ge used the momentum to spin and thrust the spearhead directly into the Vajra's abdomen.
With a kick to King Kong, Xu Ge pulled it open, ripping it open.
Xu Ge, meanwhile, calmly assembled the three sections of the spear together.
Su Wen grabbed Cui Lingyu's hand and climbed onto the platform, saying, "Lingyu, let's hide first and leave it to those two!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the people fled the area, while those who had been hiding among the crowd drew their swords and blocked the entrance to the temple's main hall.
At this moment, Xu Ge and Xiao Bi were facing a dozen people in front of the main hall, as well as the three Vajra Guardians.
Cui Lingyu said softly, "Don't be afraid, Su Lang. These people are just ordinary folks, nothing special. They're no match for Xiao Bi and Xu Ge!"
The monk, holding the baby in his arms, shouted, "Kill them!"
As the shouts subsided, a dozen men at the door rushed toward Xiao Bi with knives in hand. Xiao Bi kicked the knife handles and strode forward.
Wielding the Mo Dao (陌刀), he moved with wide, sweeping strokes. The swords were too short; before he could even get close, he was struck and cut in two.
Even if one person tried to block with the blade, they were knocked to the ground by the force of Xiao Bi's swinging Mo Dao, and had no strength to get up again.
As the saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous."
With just a few seemingly simple moves, he swept through thousands of troops and cleaved Mount Hua in two, killing several people. His domineering aura was simply terrifying!
"Those who kneel and surrender will not be killed!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining soldiers immediately threw their swords to the ground and surrendered without hesitation. They had no choice; they were just a bunch of thugs who could bully the weak, but they were terrified of Xiao Bi, a woman covered in blood who could chop people up like melons without even blinking!
The three thugs threw their weapons to the ground, and one of them, with a tear in his eye, said, "I'm just a cowherd. I won't fight anymore. I don't want your money. I want to go home and herd cattle!"
Su Wen pointed at the monk and shouted, "Bald monk, your power is gone! Surrender now!"
"Hmph!" The man sneered and decisively threw the baby in his arms to the ground.
Seeing this, Cui Lingyu was extremely anxious, but Su Wen, noticing that the baby was neither crying nor making a sound, quickly reached out and tightly grasped Cui Lingyu's hand, whispering, "That's a stillborn!"
The monk took off his robe, revealing his bare chest.
The monk was muscular and covered in wounds. He kicked up a long-handled sword from the ground, picked it up, and smiled slightly, saying, "I am Wei Si, a former Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard. I have ninety-six enemy heads on my hands. Today, with the four of you added, I'll have a hundred-man kill!"
Su Wen questioned, "As a former Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards, why did you aid and abet the tyrant and harm the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Wei Si sneered: "Because I chose the wrong side. I sided with Princess Taiping. After the coup, Princess Taiping was killed, and I escaped by sheer luck. Hmph..."
Xiao Bi gripped her knife, ready to charge, when Xu Ge spoke up, "Xiao Bi, step aside. Let me handle him!"
Xu Ge, gun in hand, confronted him, saying, "I am a former elder of Luoyang County, and I have practiced martial arts since childhood. Including that Vajra from earlier, we have killed exactly forty-nine enemies. Add you, and that makes fifty!"
Xu Gege wielded a three-section iron-pole silver spear with a red tassel at the end, also known as a red-tasseled spear. It was eight feet two inches long (2.5 meters) and weighed twelve catties and three ounces. He had followed many generals to learn martial arts. During the Xiantian Coup, he was one of the three hundred people of the Sage, and he killed more than thirty soldiers of Princess Taiping's mansion. The Sage called him a young hero and he should have been appointed as the General of the Golden Guard. However, he was only fourteen years old at the time and was still too young, so he went to Luoyang County to serve as an elder and train.
Wei Si, former General of the Imperial Guard and commander of the Imperial Guard, killed more than seventy people from the Emperor's faction at the residence of Princess Taiping's male favorite during the Xiantian Coup. He wielded a long-handled sword weighing seven catties and eight taels and more than five feet long (1.3 meters).
The two were facing each other, about three meters apart.
Xu Ge raised his spear, adopting a pipa-holding stance. Wei Si smiled coldly. Xu Ge shifted his stance and launched a "Poison Dragon Emerges from the Cave" attack. Wei Si slightly tilted his head to dodge the blow. Xu Ge withdrew his spear and thrust at the other side. Wei Si immediately sidestepped and raised his knife to block.
Xu Ge immediately turned his horse and thrust his spear forward. Wei Si turned around to block. Xu Ge stood on one leg and then thrust his spear forward.
The reason for its independence is to transfer all the body's strength from the feet to the spearhead, thereby increasing the spearhead's power.
Wei Si easily parried the attack by simply raising his knife, but Xu Ge immediately sheathed his gun and used a reverse-handle groin-striking spear to attack his lower body.
The gun is the king of weapons, also known as the commander of all weapons!
Xu Ge launched a series of rapid attacks and thrusts, changing his moves at lightning speed, focusing solely on offense. Wei Si's long-handled sword was too short, and under continuous attacks, he could only quickly change his moves to block; he had no other option!
Xu Ge was eighteen years old, in the prime of his life, while Wei Si was in his early forties. Xu Ge's rapid and continuous attacks forced him into a defensive stance.
Once the battle becomes a protracted affair, Wei Si will soon be exhausted and become nothing more than meat on a chopping block. Moreover, Xu Ge has the advantage in weaponry.
As the saying goes: the old should not fight the young, and a knife should not fight a gun.
Wei Si knew he was at a disadvantage in two ways, so he had to find a way to fight in close combat.
Suddenly, Wei Si reacted swiftly, grabbing the shaft of Xu Ge's thrusting spear and pressing it down hard. He then used his knife to slide forward along the shaft, trying to get close to Xu Ge!
