She looked at the heavy hammer in Xu Yunfan's hand with strands of scarlet lava patterns on its face with a look of doubt and uncertainty.
"A divine weapon?! No, you actually have a treasured weapon?!"
Her face suddenly twisted with jealousy, malice, and all kinds of emotions mixed together, making her whole face look hideous and terrifying.
Xu Yunfan didn't hesitate at all. He pushed the ground with the soles of his boots and rushed towards the old woman like an arrow.
Seeing Xu Yunfan rushing over with a hammer, the chain blade danced into an iron curtain in the old woman's hand, but the handle of the Thunder Fire Kirin Hammer suddenly decomposed into three sections of chain hammers.
The moment the chain made of thunder-patterned steel entangled the chain blade, the muscles in Xu Yunfan's arms suddenly expanded, and he used all his strength to perform the ninth move of the Cloak Hammer Technique, "Iron Lock Across the River".
The sparks from the clash of two brute forces burned black marks on the blue brick ground within a few feet.
"Let go!"
The old woman suddenly pressed the mechanism on the top of the staff, and three poisonous needles shot out from the skull's eye sockets.
Xu Yunfan lowered his head suddenly, and the poison needle grazed his scalp and penetrated into the bluestone brick wall beside him. The strong wind it brought up actually cut off the iron ring that tied his hair.
But the price of this distraction was that the chain hammer was torn open by the opponent, leaving a half-inch gap.
Xu Yunfan flicked his wrist and extended the chain hammer. At the moment the old woman leaned back due to inertia, the chain suddenly contracted and closed. With a surge of energy, he swung his arms and took several steps back. The chain blade in the old woman's hand was immediately rubbed to produce a large number of sparks.
"Break it for me!"
Xu Yunfan growled softly, and the muscles in his right arm bulged. As blood and energy surged through his body, his muscles bulged to the extreme, like tumors, and the texture was covered with golden lines.
Bang!
The fine steel chain blade was torn apart by this blow.
The old woman staggered and took several steps back, each step leaving spider-web-like cracks on the bluestone bricks.
Without waiting for the old woman to steady herself, Xu Yunfan rushed forward. The crisp sound of his knife hitting her Adam's apple was heard at the same time as the roar of the Thunder Fire Qilin Hammer hitting the ground.
The remaining believers were about to close in, but suddenly Xu Yunfan's back roared violently, and the heavy hammer stretched his latissimus dorsi like wings. The Thunder Fire Kirin Hammer slammed heavily to the ground, and the recoil force stirred up an air wave that overturned the rubble, and at the same time, the remaining believers who were approaching were shattered beyond recognition.
The humming sound from the reverberation mechanism resonated with the violent heaving of his chest.
"It seems that there are people from your Xianghuo Sect in Tiangong Cave?"
Xu Yunfan swung his hammer and knocked away a cultist who was in tatters but still rushed towards him risking his life. The broken limbs hit the wall and sparks flew. The place in front of the deserted gate finally calmed down.
The old woman covered her throat, coughed up blood foam and grinned grimly, then ripped open her clothes to reveal the bronze compass on her chest.
"Sooner or later, the Holy Religion will crush these filthy places of yours. When the Enlightened One descends to the world, he will cleanse everything!"
The compass mechanism popped open, and hundreds of poison-tempered steel needles shot out like a rainstorm. The phosphorus powder on the needle tips ignited into ghostly blue fire when it came into contact with the air.
Xu Yunfan, who had been prepared, exerted force on his feet and his body was like green smoke, easily avoiding the poisonous needles.
Seeing that the old woman wanted to leave, Xu Yunfan shook his wrist, and the middle part of the hammer handle suddenly split into three chain hammers. The tungsten steel cable wrapped around the old woman's right leg and slammed her against the beam.
After three heavy blows, the beams groaned under the heavy weight, and the entire courtyard began to tilt and collapse.
When the disciple patrolling Tiangong Cave arrived, Xu Yunfan was dragging out a twisted and deformed bronze compass from the ruins.
He kicked the remains of the twelve incense followers into a long line, and the exposed flesh at the broken ends was still stained with fresh brain matter.
After showing the disciple token of the Weapon Casting Hall, Xu Yunfan stood aside and let the night patrol disciples of Tiangong Cave get busy.
"Hmm, how could it be the Mingzun statue of the Xianghuo Sect?"
"Have you invited Xianghuojiao to participate in this ceremony of true transmission?" Another disciple was a little confused and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Yunfan who was leisurely cleaning the Thunder Fire Qilin Hammer.
This senior brother's attack was extremely explosive, and none of the dead people were left with their bodies intact.
"You're stupid!"
The leader of the night patrol disciples reached out and slapped the disciple who was speaking on the back of the head, cursing, "The Xianghuo Sect has been designated a cult by the Great Zhou. How could our Tiangong Cave, a reputable and upright sect, associate with them? I'll have the Cangfeng Pavilion Punishment Hall come over and take a look later."
Boom!
A deafening roar suddenly rang out.
Xu Yunfan looked towards the south of the city, where a beam of fire shot straight into the sky. Then he saw a clearly visible energy force suddenly flying out from the depths of Tiangong Cave, suppressing the beam of fire.
"Who dares to act rashly in Tiangong Cave?"
Hong Baichuan's voice suddenly rang out, and Xu Yunfan, who was about to go and take a look, stopped immediately.
A marrow cleansing master holding a treasure took action. If the problem still could not be solved, he would be just a waste of food. It would be better for him to stay here and see the situation.
Xu Yunfan turned his head to look at the Weapon Casting Hall headquarters. His master and Senior Brother Fu should not be affected.
When the flames rising from the south of the city were completely suppressed, Xu Yunfan was squatting at the Zhuque Bridge, gnawing on his fifth skewer of grilled kidneys.
The Thunder and Fire Qilin Hammer was placed across his knees, but his energy and blood were still surging. Instead, he was like a ferocious beast, lurking in wait.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed the sword sheath that was flying through the air. The seven-foot-long fine steel scabbard smashed into the bluestone, causing it to crack. Qi Huan's voice came from the other side of the bridge: "The Criminal Law Hall wants to question you."
"Has Cangfengge changed his profession to become a yamen runner?"
Xu Yunfan licked the spicy oil from the corner of his mouth and pointed the hammer at the crack in the sword case.
Qi Huan's knuckles turned white as he gripped his sword. He was about to explode, but then something clicked in his mind. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "The Thousand Machine Disk you smashed was produced by the Machinery Hall. The Hall reported the theft three months ago."
The night wind lifted the hem of Qi Huan's clothes, revealing a brand new iron plate with the word "Xing" on its waist. This first disciple of Cangfeng Pavilion was temporarily taking over as the deacon of criminal law.
Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows when he saw this. This was specially shown to him.
But...
Xu Yunfan suddenly turned around and swung the hammer. The hammer head dragged the chain, making a dull whistling sound and flew past Qi Huan's ear. The wind pressure stirred up by the passing was so strong that it broke the willow tree three meters away in half and smashed the black shadow into the river next to it, splashing water three meters high.
Xu Yunfan shook his wrist, and the chain hammer quickly flew back, turning into a heavy hammer held in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Qi Huan's eyes twitched slightly. How could he not know that Xu Yunfan did it on purpose.
"Xu Yunfan!" The head of the Mechanical Hall's chief disciple emerged from the water, roaring like thunder. "If my Black Turtle Shield gets wet, I won't be able to compensate you even if I have to tear it apart!"
Mo Shisan, soaked to the skin, climbed ashore clutching the half-broken mechanical wing. "Xu! I'm the first disciple of the Mechanical Hall. I've come here specifically to inspect the Thousand Mechanical Disk. How dare you attack me without any reason? If my Black Scale Armor hadn't activated in time, you'd be dead!"
Xu Yunfan was a little surprised. Although he didn't use all his strength in this attack, it still had the power of the fifth level. An ordinary martial artist with three training levels couldn't take it at all, not to mention that Mo Shisan seemed to be fine.
The first disciple of the Mechanical Hall...
He is indeed very capable.
