The sound of the flute is getting closer and closer, bringing unprecedented pressure.
Tang Xuance couldn't hold himself back and shouted repeatedly: "Guide! Where are the officers and men of the Shuiwu Army? Hurry up and escort us to protect Your Majesty!"
However, after receiving the order, there was no expected influx of elite soldiers outside the hall, as if all the soldiers suddenly disappeared.
"How could it be? There are six thousand elite soldiers!" Tang Xuance muttered to himself, unable to believe the scene in front of him.
The soldiers of the Water Dance Army are carefully trained by him and are good at combined attacks. Even if they encounter a stronger master, they should be able to fight.
Even if he wasn't his opponent, he wouldn't be able to do it quietly, he would just be killed by someone!
He didn't know what happened outside the hall, but none of his subordinates who could report the enemy's situation in time showed up, which meant that all the defense lines he had set up outside the hall had collapsed, and the palace's strict security was no longer in effect!
"Is this the Taohua layman?"
Tang Xuance's body tensed up and he glanced at Gu Chen beside him.
The only one who can help him and King Pei right now is Chen Congfeng!
Seeing that Gu Chen was calm and composed, Tang Xuance finally felt better, but his face was still full of worry.
Even if this practitioner has extraordinary body-holding skills, he can't even see the killer at the moment. Can he successfully protect himself and King Pei?
The sound of the flute was whining, and the sound wave gradually became louder and louder, and it was so continuous that it shook the desks in the hall and shook them, causing slight cracks in the roof beams.
All the officials had retreated to corners, consciously staying away from King Pei and Tang Xuance, as no one wanted to be implicated.
The melody was laid out just right, and after a sharp downturn, the flute made a murderous staccato sound!
Suddenly, like a spring breeze coming overnight, countless peach blossom petals poured into the hall and swept towards Tang Xuance!
Each petal is like a sharp blade, cutting Tang Xuance into pieces in an instant!
Tang Xuance's whole body was covered with cold hair, and the Tao power in his body subconsciously circulated and turned into body-protecting Qi.
It's just that his Dao power is only a few thousand, and the energy contained in each petal is not weak. Under the dense crowd, he is like a spider trapped in a web!
He felt that he was destined to die and was unable to stop him. He wanted to dodge, but Taohua layman's killer move left no room for him!
It’s over!
As soon as this thought arose, the peach blossom rain was already under his nose, and suddenly, it collapsed and disappeared!
He felt a gentle breeze blowing around him, and the gorgeous peach blossoms turned into pink light and disappeared inexplicably, as if there was a strange magnetic field around him!
"What's going on?" Tang Xuance was relieved and a little surprised.
The sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, a lazy voice sounded.
"In Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, there are peach blossom fairies in Peach Blossom Temple. Peach Blossom Fairies plant peach trees and pick peach blossoms in exchange for wine money."
The other party was reciting poems, seemingly leisurely and contented, but the storm of peach blossoms coming from outside the hall was even more frightening.
Countless peach blossom petals were like thousands of sharp knives, flying and slashing at them. Tables and chairs were shattered wherever they passed, but when they came within two feet of Tang Xuance, they collapsed and dissipated between heaven and earth.
This stalemate was fruitless, a heavy cold snort came from outside the hall, and the peach blossom rain suddenly changed its path!
The rain of flowers in the sky flew towards the seat next to Tang Xuance. Only then did everyone notice Gu Chen, who was sitting still and drinking.
Gu Chen didn't even raise his eyelids. The petals that could easily cut stone fell on him, but they couldn't even pierce his skin.
Click!
The wine glass he was holding was cut in half, the wine gurgled out, and Gu Chen's eyes narrowed.
"You're interrupting my drinking." He said coldly, but this was what he cared about.
All the officials in the hall looked at him in confusion. How could he be such a saint? He seemed not to take the Taohua layman seriously!
Shao Jianmin and Shao Jianwu looked at each other, their eyelids twitching in unison!
"Haha, you are so pretentious."
The people outside the hall stopped reciting poetry, and the words they spoke were unexpectedly vulgar and direct.
"I'm not as good as you. I'm both a flute player and a poetry reciter." The corner of Gu Chen's mouth curled up with a mocking smile.
"Hmph, who are you? Tell me your name."
A figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hall. He was wearing a red coat and a pink cape. The cape was decorated with blooming peach blossoms. His dressing style was really unusual.
Gu Chen glanced at the visitor unexpectedly. The killers of Wuwang Pavilion were always dressed in green and black, but this one was different.
Seeing that the other party had a slender and well-proportioned figure and a beautiful and delicate face, Gu Chen said casually, "I didn't expect that she was still a woman."
"Are you blind? I am a man!" Peach Blossom Layman's delicate eyebrows suddenly wrinkled and he shouted angrily, his voice deliberately made rougher.
"Man? Then why are you dressed so coquettishly?" Gu Chen was stunned and said subconsciously.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the originally murderous hall suddenly became a bit strange, and all the ministers looked strange.
They had often heard about the reputation of the Taohua layman, but today was the first time they saw it.
That style of dressing in red and pink clothes is really eye-catching. It would be understandable if a woman dressed like this, but if the other party is a man and still behaves like this, isn’t he just a coquettish guy?
I just slandered in my heart, but no one dared to complain to my face. After all, many people had heard that this Taohua layman always loved beauty and could not tolerate criticism from others.
However, now that Gu Chen had made it clear in one meeting, the officials secretly smacked their lips, where did this fierce man come from?
The ministers in the court all knew that the Tang family had two ministers, and many of them had seen them before, but the person in front of them was so unfamiliar that they became suspicious.
It was also at this time that many people took a serious look at Gu Chen, who had been by Tang Xuance's side.
"What did you say? Looking for death!"
One moment he mistakenly admits that he is a woman, and the next he calls himself a coquettish one. At this moment, Taohua layman, who originally thought he was very domineering in appearance, feels that all his face has been lost.
Zheng!
A mahogany sword flew out of his sleeves. Holding the sword in his hand, with a powerful momentum, he suddenly attacked Gu Chen!
With this sword strike, the light in the entire hall suddenly dimmed, as fast as wind and thunder. It was truly an extraordinary killing sword!
Gu Chen sat still in his original position, letting the sword come closer to him, then he gently stretched out two fingers and pinched it lightly.
clatter.
The peach wood sword stabbing him stopped. Peach Blossom Layman's beautiful eyes widened and he rushed towards the sword with all his strength, but he couldn't take another step forward!
"If you dare to draw a sword against me, you must be mentally prepared to die."
Gu Chen's eyes were cold and he slowly raised his free hand.
Taohua layman instantly felt a strong life and death crisis. Terrified, he let go of the Taomu sword and stepped back!
"The response is quite fast."
Gu Chen smiled, and the secret energy rope that he had just used to protect Tang Xuance was pulled back under his control and fell into his hand.
Whoosh.
With a thought, the secret energy rope flew towards the opponent like a spring.
