The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 743 Fighting
"Be careful," Ayu gently reminded the group. The two leading the way glanced at Ayu, and Scarface said dismissively, "Isn't it a bit late to say this now?"

“Good things come to those who wait.” Wang Wulang took over the conversation, pointing forward to block the man’s gaze from looking at Ayu. “Brother, is your city lord planning to open a shady shop by building a house in this kind of place? There’s no one around in this sandy area.”

"If you want to live, don't talk too much."

Wang Wulang ignored his warning and continued to laugh and joke, behaving like a naive and wealthy young master.

In Jiangsai, you can find all sorts of people, but there are no simple-minded people among them.

The simpler someone is, the more wary they become.

After he did that, the two men stopped saying anything.

When they got closer, they discovered that the stone palace was not empty; rather, everyone there was dressed in yellowish-brown clothes.

"Elf, look how many people are around here? I can sense no less than a hundred auras."

There are 16 visible ones, 36 buried in the sand, 24 hidden throughout the palace, and 32 actively operating inside the palace.

"Can you beat me?"

[…] Kid, think about it, is it even possible?
These aren't just a hundred or so ordinary civilians who can't even kill a chicken. These people were handpicked from Jiangsai City, and they're even more ruthless than the average assassin.

They were just a few old, weak, sick, and disabled people.

Speaking of disability—

[By the way, the Carefree Prince is also inside. The underground structures of this palace are even more extensive than the surface structures; it's too deep. I can't probe the specifics, but I can sense general information about him.]

Ayu perked up; if Uncle Ashu was inside, then they really had to go.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, they indeed saw four guards. They were not wearing uniform clothes, but they were all the same color, and their heads were also wrapped in long cloths of the same color, the kind that would be impossible to find if thrown into the sand.

Upon entering the palace, they could clearly feel the malevolent gazes around them, almost tangible.

The palace is much more luxurious inside than outside, but it is also mainly built of stone. The dome is extremely high and has some messy strokes, which look like signs of a fight.

"What business do you have with the city lord?" A girl dressed in red suddenly walked down the stone steps in the distance, her tone somewhat languid.

"We want to open a steamed bun shop, and I heard we need to get some kind of pass from the city lord." Red Dog stepped forward, pretending to be a carefree, roguish woman, and asked her, "Are you the city lord?"

The woman in red shook her head: "I'm not, but I can give you that pass you mentioned. Same old rule, one pass can open a shop, in exchange for a life. Have you thought about who would exchange it for you along the way?"

At this moment, Xie Zhen, who had previously been relatively unknown, stepped forward, took an item from his sleeve, and tossed it directly to the woman in red.

Seeing the woman in red catch it, he asked, "Can this be exchanged for a life?"

The woman in red looked blankly at the object in her hand, but her expression turned slightly serious after she saw the writing on it.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "You all wait here—Big Head, take good care of the guests."

She returned the way she came, and another man who had been leading the way, standing next to the scarred man, stepped forward and said, "Let's go."

Ayu: "So your name is Big Head? Your head doesn't look that big to me."

"Hehe, maybe it's a big head, but a small brain," Wang Wulang muttered in a voice loud enough for anyone to hear.

Even the usually calm and collected Big Head couldn't hold back any longer and was about to strike back with his palm.

A dart flew in halfway, stopping his movement.

"Big Head, don't neglect the guests." It was the voice of the woman in red who had already left.

Big Head reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Yes."

Seeing all this, Ayu lowered her voice and said to Wang Wulang, "Fifth Brother, that young lady is so cool. I want to train so many subordinates in the future and become a boss myself."

Wang Wulang: "..." If you go to wander the martial arts world, he'll be sure to get beaten to a pulp by your own parents and grandmother when you get back.

“Ayu, let’s not be such spineless people.”

"You!" Upon hearing this, Big Head glared angrily, but dared not utter a word of anger.

The scarred man shook his head at him, indicating that there was no need to rush.

Anyway, these people could only keep their mouths shut; once they entered this stone hall, no outsider had ever left alive. They were placed in a not-so-large stone hall, where no tea was served, only a few dried fruits, the origin of which was unclear.

In addition, there were several plates of cacti.

Wang Wulang felt nauseous at the sight of the cactus and gagged a few times, which made Da Tou roll his eyes.

He had no doubt that if the woman in red hadn't given him a heads-up, this big-headed guy would have definitely fought him to a pulp.

"Hahaha, it's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple! We're all family now!" Just as they were getting impatient, a rough voice rang out, echoing directly in the stone hall.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a black robe striding over. He had a full beard and looked rather chubby. He didn't appear fierce or menacing, but rather quite honest and simple.

The woman in red followed behind him and said to them, "This is our city lord."

The city lord laughed heartily and said to himself, "You're all juniors, so just call me Uncle Wan. As for you—"

He glanced at Xie Zhen and said reluctantly, "Just call me Brother Wan."

As he spoke, he slapped Xie Zhen on the shoulder, who was nearby.

A sharp, bone-cracking sound was heard, and Xie Zhen screamed as he clutched his shoulder.

"Shh-"

Akainu drew his sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest: "Protect my sister!"

City Lord Wan was dumbfounded, looking at Xie Zhen: "Brother, you don't know martial arts?"

He was thinking of trying to be polite first, so this was just a friendly pat on the shoulder.

A person who knows martial arts will immediately deflect the force, so they won't get injured; at most, they'll feel a little pain.

Not to mention a fractured bone.

Xie Zhen: "..." As the only one in the team who doesn't know martial arts, it's all his fault.

Wang Wulang was also enraged, and he raised his weapon and charged at the nearest big head.

Big Head had long disliked him and immediately challenged him, and the two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

"Elf, what should we do? Fight?" Ayu hadn't expected things to develop this way. Her original plan was to wait until she met the city lord before trying to see the carefree king.

But now, the city lord patted him on the shoulder, and all the plans were ruined.

Xie Zhen was still yelling when Chi Ding and the scarred man started fighting.

Tangyuan and the tomboy next to Ayu haven't made a move yet.

"Baby, please, please, please don't fight! You can't win."

"Ayu, they've slashed my clothes!" Wang Wulang shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ayu immediately grabbed the Xuan Tian Bow, pulled it back and released it with incredible speed, shooting it directly towards Wang Wulang.

"puff--"

A vortex of air rushed towards Wang Wulang, grazed past him, and entered Da Tou's wig, pulling down a large lump of something that landed on the ground.

Big Head's face turned from red to black, then from black to white, his face filled with humiliation.

The air fell eerily quiet.

Everyone stared at Big Head's bald, somewhat large head.

"Ah, this..." Xie Zhen stopped shouting, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Big Head was furious and was about to make a move when the city lord said, "Wait."

He looked at the Xuan Tian Bow in A Yu's hand and narrowed his eyes: "You are the inheritor of the Xuan Tian Bow? You have been to the underground palace?!"
