The rain is still falling and has no intention of stopping.

The heat of the past few days in the capital has disappeared in the wash of rain, but the solemnity in the air is the lingering haze among everyone.

On the main street of Xuanyang Street, the unprecedented execution scene attracted more than half of the people in the capital. The prisoners lined up in a row were all wearing white prison uniforms, with their hair fluffy and their heads lowered, being beaten silently in the rain.

Among the prisoners, few were making noises and crying. The experience of being in prison for the past few days has made these weak literati lose the power to resist. The puppets who wanted to lose their souls all knelt neatly, and occasionally some people fainted.

He fell down, but would soon be arrested by the officers and soldiers behind him. Even if someone among them cried out for injustice out of grief and anger, his voice was inconspicuous in the rain and in such a grand execution ground.

There were so many people that prisoners were lined up from one end of Xuanyang Street to the other. Both sides of the street were lined with soldiers on solemn alert.

The people who came to watch were tightly packed on both sides of the street.

The only thing that could drown out the sound of rain was the comments of the people on the sidelines.

The people are loyal to the imperial court, and the people will believe whatever the imperial court says.

But this time, a charge of slandering a court official imposed on a scholar would lead to the death of so many people. It is really unbelievable and unacceptable.

The key point is that I have never even heard of this so-called "court official".

The first seat of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

What official position is this?

No one among the people knew.

So naturally, the public opinion from the outside world was very bad. This not only speculated on the intentions of the court and the prince, but also scolded the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the most critical part of the case, and the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was definitely not

What a good thing.

At this time, in the middle of Xuanyang Street, the executioner was hiding in the awning, taking a look at the sky from time to time.

In this gloomy sky, there is no light at all, and there is no accurate time at all. If you want to know the time, you can only rely on experience.

For such a big case, with so many people killed, the officials were very nervous and could not make any mistakes, so they said the beheading was to be done at noon, and the order could only be given at noon.

"What time is it?"

"Back to my lord, noon has not yet arrived."

"I know that noon has not yet arrived, but I am asking when noon will arrive."

"The sky is unclear and the corona is not accurate. It is estimated that there will still be half an hour."

The official frowned: "How long?"

Half an hour seems to be plenty of time, but it is beyond the reach of ordinary people from leaving the palace to arriving at the execution ground.

At this time, the old leader had just left the palace.

He did not ride a horse, but his speed was faster than that of a horse. There was only a faint figure in the rain.

Like a bolt of lightning flashing through the rain, the rain couldn't even touch his body.

The guards guarding the city hardly noticed that someone had just passed by them.

No residential buildings are allowed within half a mile of the palace, so there is a huge open space outside the palace.

In such a wide field of view, any abnormalities can be easily discovered.

The old leader's speed suddenly slowed down a bit because he noticed a few small black spots appeared in the rain curtain in front of him.

Obviously, they are men in black.

The old leader didn't know their identities, but he had expected that the imperial edict in his hands would not be delivered so easily.

Seeing the figure appearing not far away, the face under the cow's face suddenly smiled, a long-lost blood surged into my heart, and a pair of skinny hands actually felt a little eager to try.

In a moment, the two sides encountered each other.

At a glance, the old leader saw that there were only six people there.

"I didn't expect that I had been hiding in the capital for fifty years, and when I took action, I only met six people. I was really underestimated!"

While he was muttering to himself, the man in black in front of him stabbed straight with a long sword.

A sword in the rain carried a green light, and a strong sword intention turned into invisible flames, cutting through the rain curtain, evaporating a layer of thick smoke, and the target was the mask of the old leader.

At the same time, the boss took out his cigarette and flicked it, and a tsunami-like heat wave rolled up with raindrops and rushed towards the man in black.

This move is very casual, yet very forceful.

I can't imagine that it came from the hands of such a rickety old man.

Not only the person who drew the sword, but also the people around him who were about to attack were also restrained by this move.

In the rain, the sound of rolling air waves was fierce, and the invisible pressure was like a barrier that forced several people back.

The circle of six people was immediately torn open. The leader sneered, ignored them, and rushed out of the open space outside the palace and entered the pavilions of the capital that were washed away by the rain.

However, it is not easy to get rid of those six people.

Even with the previous sword attack, the old leader also knew in his heart that these six people were all masters of the Peiyuan Realm, and they were the best in the Peiyuan Realm, so they were very difficult to deal with.

If it were another time, the old leader would naturally not take these six people seriously, but he knew in his heart that today it was not only the six people behind him who were fighting with him, but also your prince's messenger who might appear.

If he arrived at the place of execution too late, it would be useless even if he delivered the imperial edict, as the literati might have already been beheaded.

Just as he was thinking about it, the old leader's expression suddenly changed, and he felt a strong pressure coming over him!

The old leader looked up and saw a black thing falling from the sky in front of him.

That's a sword!

A black giant sword!

This black giant sword came with ferocious force, and its trajectory completely blocked the way forward for the old leader!

The old leader was shocked: "This is a real master."

For a moment, the leader suddenly stopped and retreated. He turned around and sent out a wave of air to force the six people who were chasing behind him back again.

The next second, the old leader heard a loud noise coming from behind him, and at the same time there was another violent earthquake.

When he turned back, the boss found that three meters away from him, a huge black sword as tall as a man was inserted deeply into the ground. The ground had been shaken, and cracks extended in all directions to both sides of the street.

This black sword has a strange shape. The hilt is very thin, but the blade is very wide and thick. You can almost see that the sword has no sharp edge, but the material of the sword is very strange, as black as ink, and it seems to be able to absorb all light.

Just as the old leader was observing the black sword, a petite figure also fell from the sky and landed on the black sword. He put his foot on the thin hilt of the sword. The whole person was squatting, wearing a black leather armor, and his body was

He is smaller than a sword, and at first glance he looks like a boy who is no more than fifteen years old.

The old leader was shocked. He had never thought that there was such a young master in the world. At such an age, and with the previous sword attack, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the world today.

What's more important is that this giant man wears a mask, and it's a tiger's face!
