"Good knife!"

Looking at the Xiu Chun Dao, which still had a cold glow and no damage at all, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

The reason why he chose to break into this attic was not only because he was unhappy with the fat man who was planning to smelt copper, but also because he found an acquaintance in the next room.

It is none other than the protagonist of the "Xiu Chun Knife" series of movies, Shen Lian, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.

Looking at Shen Lian in front of him who was holding a long sword and preparing for it, Lin Zhongtian smiled. Shi Shiran stood up, put his right hand lightly on the hilt of the sword, and slowly pulled out the long sword on the desk.

"Zheng——"

The sound of friction between the sword edge and the scabbard slowly sounded.

Lin Zhongtian looked at himself on the edge of the sword and said slowly: "Master Shen, why are you so anxious? Don't you want to know how I learned your name?"

"Hmph, how else can we know it? I just overheard it in the Jiaofang Department!"

"Then Master Shen, you think highly of yourself!" Lin Zhongtian couldn't help laughing and shook his head, and said calmly, "I'm not boasting, but a mere bannerman of the Imperial Guard is not worthy of my attention."

Faced with such contemptuous words, Shen Lian didn't care at all.

His face remained as calm as water, and there was no sign of any mood swings.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer, Lin Zhongtian smiled and continued: "Master Shen, I have a friend who is an old acquaintance of yours. He often boasts to me about your martial arts, saying that your martial arts are amazing and not inferior to him. Stay here. Being the chief flag officer in Jin Yiwei is indeed a bit humiliating..."

"Oh? Why doesn't Shen remember this old acquaintance?"

"Haha, Mr. Shen is busy with everything, so it's normal for him not to remember my friend."

"Your Excellency, you are joking. Shen is only the general banner of a district. In this huge capital city, he is just a——"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Before he finished speaking, a vague voice suddenly came from the corner.

It turned out to be the fat official who was tied up. Seeing that the savior he thought was actually chatting with the murderer, he couldn't help but become a little anxious and quickly made some noise to remind Shen Lian.

Shen Lian glanced at him and immediately changed the conversation and stopped talking to Lin Zhongtian.

"Sir, don't panic, Shen Lian will rescue you right now."

Shen Lian said in a deep voice, while holding the embroidered spring knife and stepping forward slowly.

"Woo!"

The officials who were tied up nodded quickly, with a look of hope on their faces.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and subconsciously glanced at the official in the corner.

That's it now!

A cold light flashed in Shen Lian's eyes. Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Zhongtian's attention was distracted, he quickened his pace and swung his sword forward.

The sharp sword light cut through the air, carrying the roaring wind and slashing towards you.

Lin Zhongtian came to his senses instantly, raised the long sword in his hand, and hit the sharp Xiuchun Dao directly.

"Tsk-"

The blade and the edge of the sword collided with each other, and a series of sparks burst out.

Missing a hit, Shen Lian quickly drew his sword, and using the force of the rebound, he raised the Xiuchun sword in his palm. At the same time, he lowered his waist and straddled his horse. With a loud shout, he slashed at Lin Zhongtian's head with the force of splitting Huashan Mountain.

In the "Xiuchundao" series of movies, although the protagonist Shen Lian is not the strongest in martial arts, he is the most adaptable to changes.

This is due to his many years of battlefield career and the accumulation of a lot of combat experience, which has made his perception of danger and sense of combat situations extremely keen.

At this point, no other character in "Xiuchundao" can match him.

Even Ding Xiu's combat power ceiling is slightly inferior.

Therefore, when he swung this sword with a ferocious light, astonishing power, and no way out, he had naturally already calculated Lin Zhongtian's possible response methods.

At this time, Lin Zhongtian had a desk with a guqin in front of him, a wall behind him, and a brass lamp on each side. There was no room to move, so he could only resist.

And when the single-edged Xiuchun Dao collides with the double-edged long sword, the latter usually suffers.

Not to mention that Shen Lian used his strength to chop down Huashan, but Lin Zhongtian could only resist with force.

The combination of various circumstances gave Shen Lian an advantage with this sword.

It's a pity that Shen Lian had calculated the right time and location, but he never expected that the other party would actually have a personal relationship with him.

Lin Zhongtian really had no intention of dodge. He just sneered and raised the long sword in his hand from bottom to top. In an extremely awkward posture, it collided with the Xiuchun Dao that was struck with all his strength.

"Qiang——"

There was a heartbreaking sound of metal collision, and terrifying power instantly erupted from the sword's edge.

Shen Lian couldn't resist, the embroidered spring knife in his hand bounced high, and he kept walking backwards.

But after just taking a few steps back, Shen Lian pushed up his right foot and stabilized his body.

Then, Shen Lian looked down and couldn't help but feel horrified.

He saw a crescent-shaped gap suddenly appearing on the Xiuchun sword that had been with him for many years. The right hand holding the handle of the sword trembled with the terrifying power, and he could hardly hold the sword.

"What a pity."

Lin Zhongtian's slightly regretful voice came from the front.

Shen Lian immediately raised his head and found that the condition of the long sword in the opponent's hand was even more serious.

Not only was a piece missing from the sword's edge, but there were also several clear cracks on the sword's body.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth, took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, and tied the handle of the knife and his trembling right hand tightly with his left hand.

Lin Zhongtian curled his lips, sheathed the long sword, then put his left hand behind his back, and only stretched out his right hand, which was as white as bone.

"Come on!" Lin Zhongtian said with a chuckle.

Shen Lian did not dare to be careless and gritted his teeth. Just when he was about to continue fighting, he suddenly stopped and froze in place with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Lin Zhongtian also raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the door.

Suddenly, there were bursts of hurried footsteps outside the door, and there were at least dozens of people.

Immediately afterwards, the doors of the rooms on the same floor were kicked open one by one, and women's screams and men's shouts and curses came from the corridor. It seemed that someone was searching each room for something.

Soon, the same sound came from the next room.

Shen Lian's expression changed and he couldn't help but look up at Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian knew what he was worried about, smiled, raised his hand and said: "Please help yourself, sir."

Shen Lian no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth, turned around and quickly left the room.

But before he could walk out of the room, Shen Lian stopped at the door, holding a long knife and slowly retreating step by step.

After he retreated into the room, a middle-aged man with black hair and gray temples slowly appeared at the door, holding a knife in his hand. He glanced at him indifferently, then looked past Shen Lian and into the room.

Looking at the familiar face in the room that made him think about it day and night, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile.

"Finally I caught you!"

"Do you know how long I've been looking for you, Fu Qingyun?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's expression changed, he waved his right hand and shouted: "Get it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of officers and soldiers instantly emerged from behind the middle-aged man.
