Chapter 67 The Iron-Blooded Marquis Makes His Debut!
"That's right. The Eastern Depot, the Western Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard—they're all just lackeys of this emperor!"
"You dare to bully ordinary people who don't know martial arts, and now you dare to harass us martial arts practitioners? Today, you'll never leave alive!"
"Brothers! We've always lived off Master Wan, now that he's in trouble, shouldn't we help him?"
As they spoke, a large number of martial arts practitioners rushed in from all directions, protecting Wan Sanqian in the middle.
These people were all retainers of Wan Sanqian, and they had all sorts of strange and wonderful titles of "Number One in the World".
The world's greatest illusionist, the world's greatest strongman, the world's greatest thief, the world's greatest fortune teller...
There are indeed many talented people in the number one manor in the world.
At this moment, the strongest man in the world stood beside Wan Sanqian, raised his arm and waved it, and countless people responded immediately.
"You must help! My life was given to me by Master Wan, and I would go through fire and water for him without hesitation!"
"Master Wan, don't be afraid! Brothers, let's fight these lackeys of the imperial court!"
"Since when has the imperial court dared to interfere in the affairs of us martial arts practitioners? Today, I'll show you lackeys what I'm capable of!"
"..."
Wan Sanqian was very satisfied with the reactions of his retainers.
Wan Sanqian was a man of immense wealth, known for his generosity and willingness to help those in the martial arts world.
He believed that money could move mountains, and his proudest achievement was that whenever he needed anyone to do anything for him, that person would come immediately.
Now, looking at these martial arts practitioners who were shouting that they would fight to the death for him, Wan Sanqian smiled slightly and felt that the money he had spent over the years had not been wasted.
Faced with the clamor of these clowns, Cao Zhengchun frowned in disgust: "Noisy!"
Before Cao Zhengchun could even make a move, Yu Huatian had already launched a fierce attack. From several meters away, a leaf in Yu Huatian's hand pierced the throat of the person who had just been shouting, just like a steel needle!
"Uh...uh..."
The retainer who had been shouting just moments before was now clutching his bleeding neck in terror, collapsing in despair.
"His Majesty has only just had time to deal with you bunch of petty scoundrels from the martial world, and yet you've already become so arrogant."
"It seems that it's time for Your Majesty to establish some rules for the martial arts world."
"kill!"
"Slaughter everyone in the number one manor in the world!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
At Yu Huatian's command, the agents of the Western Depot immediately brandished their swords and charged towards the people of the number one village in the world.
At the same time, Shen Lian and Zhuge Zhengwo also gave orders, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Six Doors moved to attack the retainers who had just been shouting.
In an instant, the sounds of killing and screams filled the No. 1 Manor.
A large number of retainers of the Number One Manor in the World died under the blades of the Imperial Guards, their blood splattering across the picturesque manor.
After the two sides started fighting, Cao Zhengchun immediately pounced on Wan Sanqian, wanting to capture him first.
But the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi appeared before him like ghosts, blocking all of Cao Zhengchun's attacks.
As before, Cao Zhengchun felt that when his "All Rivers Flow into the Sea" technique landed on the Four Devils of Western Hunan, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, unable to stir up any waves.
But this time, he wasn't the only one who came to capture Wan Sanqian.
The next moment, Yu Huatian appeared behind the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi and unleashed a devastating palm strike.
Zhuge Zhenwo's spear flashed with a cold light as he thrust it toward the Four Devils of Xiangxi at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Shen Lian's kung fu was inferior to the other three, but he still fearlessly slashed at the Four Devils of Xiangxi with his Embroidered Spring Blade.
Under the four men's fierce attacks, the four ghosts of Xiangxi had no ability to fight back.
They could only passively parry the relentless, tidal wave of attacks from Cao Zhengchun and his three companions.
Strangely, no matter how they attacked, and no matter how badly the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi fought back, they seemed to have been unharmed and remained standing in the same spot.
Even though Cao Zhengchun and his four companions couldn't defeat the Four Devils of Xiangxi, their fierce offensive still made things difficult for them.
One of them finally couldn't help but say to Wan Sanqian behind him, "Master Wan, we're no match for them. Don't hesitate, let's go!"
Wan Sanqian knew that dragging things out like this wasn't a solution, but he still had concerns in his heart.
"Master Wan, don't hesitate any longer! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later!"
Another of the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan couldn't help but urge them on.
Wan Sanqian looked around and saw the retainers who were fighting desperately with the imperial guards and constables. He felt a deep sadness in his heart.
He had painstakingly built up the number one manor in the world over many years, but he never expected that it would be destroyed in an instant.
"I'll remember this debt thrice, and I will definitely get my revenge!"
Wan Sanqian sighed deeply, "Let's go!"
The four ghosts of Xiangxi immediately joined forces to support Wan Sanqian, and used their Phantom Divine Skill to make their figures sway strangely, seemingly real yet illusory, rushing towards the outside of the number one manor in the world at a speed that seemed slow but was fast.
Cao Zhengchun screamed, "Stop him!"
"A stunning shot!"
Zhuge Zhengwo concentrated his inner strength into the tip of his spear and threw it at the backs of the five men!
"boom!"
The stunning shot unleashed a powerful burst of internal energy, but it only caused the four ghosts of Xiangxi to sway slightly, and still could not stop them from leaving.
Seeing this scene, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, Zhuge Zhengwo, and Shen Lian were both anxious and angry, and there was also a hidden fear in their hearts.
If the four of them joined forces and Wan Sanqian escaped right under their noses, how would they explain it to Zhu Houzhao?
The four chased after them with all their might, but the strange and ethereal skills of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi made it impossible for them to stop them.
They could only watch helplessly as the Four Devils of Xiangxi, supporting Wan Sanqian, broke out of the Number One Village in the World!
"No!"
Cao Zhengchun and his three companions were filled with rage!
Just then, a figure suddenly descended from the sky!
"Go back!"
The man suddenly crashed into the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan!
Instantly, the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi and Wan Sanqian fell to the ground, staring at the figure in front of them with shocked and angry expressions.
"Zhu ignores it!"
Zhu Wushi turned around expressionlessly, coldly staring at Wan Sanqian: "Wan Sanqian, how dare you!"
"Assassinating the emperor is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family. Even I cannot protect you!"
"I, Iron-Blooded Marquis, was truly blind to associate with someone as utterly ungrateful and fatherless as you!"
"Once I have taken your head, I will personally go to the capital to plead guilty to His Majesty!"
"Let's do it!"
At Zhu Wushi's command, a large number of imperial spies from the Dragon Guard Manor rushed into the number one manor in the world.
Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and Cheng Shifei, along with four teams of secret agents from the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow Sects, brazenly attacked the retainers of the Number One Manor in the World!
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends followed closely behind the three, wreaking havoc in the Number One Manor Under Heaven!
