Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 732: Daring and Midnight Murder

"With the leader here, there won't be any major problems." Master Huang Jiu said.

"As long as the leader is here, we are guaranteed to win." Mr. Huang Liu said.

Master Huang Liu and Master Huang Jiu are immortals. Although they know a lot about the operation of human society, they have always stayed outside the Great Wall. Their thinking is still stuck in the feudal period of the previous dynasty, and they have not yet fully adapted to everything in the Demon City.

So in the meeting just now, they just sat there and listened quietly without expressing any opinions.

But when they saw Wang Ai mention Zhang Zhiwei, they couldn't help but speak out in agreement.

I don’t understand your rules and business, but how can I not understand the leader’s strength?
Xiao Aqiao recalled the little Taoist priest's almost god-like figure during the battle in the Magic City that day, nodded in agreement, and said:
"If the little celestial master is here, then the situation can be stabilized. However, when is the little celestial master going to come to the Magic City?"

"If Senior Brother Zhang wants to come, he can come at any time." Wang Ai said.

"What time is anytime?" Xiao Aqiao asked for the specific time.

Wang Ai explained: "It's anytime. I invite Senior Brother Zhang at this moment, and Senior Brother Zhang will be here the next moment!"

"It can arrive in an instant?!" Xiao Aqiao was shocked: "How?"

Wang Ai raised his head with a proud look on his face, and said: "Lightning is the incarnation of Tiantong Sect Master. If Lightning can reach there, Tiantong Sect Master can reach there too."

Xiao Aqiao looked at him suspiciously: "Little Fatty, are you addicted to pretending to be a charlatan? We are talking about serious business!"

"I'm just talking about serious matters, big sister. You may not know yet, but Senior Brother Zhang has already come here once this morning. He killed several people from the God Cult and rescued several disciples who were sent out to perform rituals!" Wang Ai said.

This morning... Xiao Aqiao thought for a moment and said, "This morning I was drinking tea and chatting in the yard of my eldest sister's house, and suddenly I saw a thunderbolt circling the Magic City several times. At that time, my eldest sister and I were lamenting the unpredictable weather. Thunderbolt in the dry land, could it be that... that was the little celestial master coming?"

"That's right!" Wang Ai nodded.

"This is truly a solo battle of three thousand miles..." little Aqiao murmured to herself.

She still remembered that the last time the Little Heavenly Master came to the Magic City, he flew here, which took a lot of time. Could it be that the Little Heavenly Master has become stronger again? ! As soon as this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but sigh that she had a keen eye for identifying the right treasure among all the forces.

Huoyun Evil God is just a warrior who doesn't understand the mysteries of Taoism and magical powers. He can only marvel: "There is nothing in the martial arts world that is invincible except speed. The little celestial master is as fast as lightning. Who can be faster than him? It's really a miraculous skill!"

"With the support of the Little Heavenly Master, we are not afraid. Xiaoai, tell me how to start the fight. I will let the brothers cooperate with you!"

Huo Tianhong, one of the three tycoons, immediately said with full confidence.

"Assassination is not about fighting for territory. There is no point in having more people!" Wang Ai looked at Master Huang Jiu: "Master Jiu will definitely need your help in this matter."

"Tell me the information of the person you want to kill, and I will arrange for my disciples to do it. If necessary, I will do it myself." Master Huang Jiu said.

"No, no, no, please don't do it!" Wang Ai said hurriedly, "We have to drink wine one mouthful at a time and walk one step at a time. If we take too big a step, it's easy to get hurt. How can we attack them completely without knowing their defenses? What if they fall into a trap?"

"We can send a few good players to test their bottom line first. If they are just average, we can just go all in and defeat them in one wave. If they are very strong and we can't defeat them, we can retreat temporarily and ask Senior Brother Zhang to come and help."

Master Huang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Then I will send a few old men who are very powerful but have not much time left."

Not all immortals are kind and do not treat their disciples as their juniors. To most immortals, the disciples are more like a group of slaves or pets.

They may be fond of a few of them, but cannot be expected to show affection to all of their disciples.

For some things, it doesn't matter if a few people are killed. As for the immortals who are accompanying them, Mr. Huang Jiu is not worried. Generally speaking, even if they encounter accidents, the immortals can escape safely thanks to the super-fast movement of their souls.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Huang. Don't worry, I will also send people here. I will arrange a few snipers to provide cover around!" said Wang Ai.

Late at night, the Peace Hotel, also known as the Sassoon Building, is also known as the No. 1 building in the Far East.

It is very beautiful. Many people say that it is the most Art Deco place besides the Empire State Building and Clarks Building in New York. But behind beautiful things, there is often the blood of capital.

In this place called Shanghai, no matter how bad the storm is outside, you will be safe as long as you enter the Peace Hotel.

At this moment, the Dragon and Phoenix Hall on the eighth floor of the hotel is magnificently decorated, with exquisite chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and famous paintings and gold-rimmed wall hangings on the walls.

The table was set with crystal tableware, silver knives and forks. The dishes were exquisite, colorful, fragrant and delicious, and extremely tempting.

The cost of living at the Peace Hotel is very high and it is basically not open to the public. Today, the Sassoon family hosted a banquet here for members of the British Royal Anglican Knights.

Edward Sassoon stood by the window of the private room, looking out at the Bund. Looking out the window, the surroundings were colorful and full of busy construction sites. Those were the Sassoon family's businesses.

The Sassoon family has businesses in many countries. Generally speaking, Edward Sassoon spends most of his time in India, but in recent years, he has spent less and less time in India.

He became increasingly distressed by the rigid taxation system and heavy tax burden in India, so he would live in the Magic City for a few months every year. Although he had never learned Chinese, he regarded the city as a place to realize his business and social ambitions.

This is a very important part of his father's business empire. His father is a top businessman who used public opinion to promote that opium from the subcontinent is good for health, has the effects of calming the mind, nourishing the brain and strengthening the yang, and then sold it here.

Women and children smoke it for its calming and brain-boosting effects, while more men smoke it for its aphrodisiac effects. As a result, the streets are filled with all kinds of drug addicts with lifeless eyes.

Their family used the money they earned to build buildings on the Bund, creating a global trading post, and expanded their business into shipping, real estate and banking, establishing a huge business empire.

It was so big that Queen Victoria of Britain personally met them and conferred them with titles and various medals of honor. It was so big that the Rothschild family married them.

And all of this is built on the country beneath our feet.

And now, right here in the Magic City, in his own home, the loyal dog that he had fattened up with his own hands by using the method of using barbarians to control barbarians was actually starting to turn against him. This was something he could not tolerate.

Edward took a deep breath and asked his butler, "Haven't the royal knights arrived yet?" "Not yet!" the butler replied, "Should we send someone to pick them up?"

Edward shook his head and said, "No need. Just wait patiently. The Royal Knights are not easy to deal with. My father once dealt with them, but when he came back, he was terrified and said those people were crazy."

"If that's the case, why did your lordship invite them to a banquet?" the butler asked puzzledly.

Edward said, "The situation here is not good right now. The dogs that used to wag their tails and beg for mercy from us are now openly rebelling against their masters. Those despicable dogs know our strength, but they still dare to do this, which means they have someone to rely on behind them. I may need their help!"

"We have mobilized enough manpower, but they only have two people. Can they really help us?" said the butler.

"Of course you can. Among the people who came this time, there is a count with a very unusual identity. According to the information I received, he is one of the trump cards of the Royal Knights!" Edward said.

As he spoke, Edward moved away from the window and sat on the sofa next to him.

At this time, heavy footsteps were heard outside the hall. He looked up and saw five tall, blond and blue-eyed Englishmen in neat suits slowly walking in.

Are these the people from the Royal National Knights? Didn't they say that only two people came? How come there are five or six people? Oh, right, they should be followers. Aristocrats should be accompanied by followers.

Edward thought to himself, but then he felt something was wrong. Among the knights who came was an earl. He should have gone to greet someone of this status, instead of just coming to see him. Besides, where were his guards? Why didn't they come to report?
"Sir, get out of the way!"

At this moment, an extremely oppressive roar came from behind.

That was the voice of the butler. Edward Sassoon's butler was an alien master whose ability was fire.

Although he hadn't fully realized what was happening, Edward dodged instinctively.

At this moment, a blazing fireball suddenly appeared from behind and hit the people of the "Royal Clergy" in front, causing a violent explosion.

At the same time, a sharp Qi blade burst out from the air and swept across his hair. If he had dodged a little later, the Qi blade would have cut his neck.

Edward retreated quickly, took out his pistol, loaded it, and fired randomly at the front. Because he had to receive people from the Royal Anglican Knights, he did not fully arm the Peace Hotel. Moreover, he did not expect that someone would dare to take action in the Peace Hotel.

At this time, his butler had turned into a man of fire, rushed forward and started fighting with the other party.

At the same time, there were more rapid footsteps outside, noisy and noisy voices shouting in a foreign language with a hint of curry. He knew that his guards had reacted.

The Shasun family has considerable influence in India. If this is the place where their opium is sold, India is the place where it is grown.

As one of the largest tobacco dealers in the world, they naturally knew that growing opium was like giving birth to a child without an anus. If they were caught, they would die a miserable death. Therefore, they had quite a large number of alien guards, most of whom came from India.

"Damn it! They always boasted to me about how powerful they were and how safe I was under their protection. But it took them until the killers got into my room before they reacted!" Edward Sassoon cursed in his heart.

Soon, a large number of guards rushed in. Some of these guards had white skin, and some had brown skin. They were in a mess without any rules, but they were still using their own methods. For a moment, the whole private room was filled with flames and lightning in a variety of colors.

But at this moment, several ink-colored figures that looked like they were drawn with a brush rushed in carrying several bundles of large explosives and launched a suicidal attack.

All of a sudden, explosions sounded one after another, walls exploded, bricks and steel shattered, rushing out like stray bullets, flames spurted out, and a large number of Edward's guards were killed or injured in an instant, and the exploded flesh and blood splattered all over the room.

Although Edward did not have superpowers, he had money. He bought a lot of alchemical items, both defensive and offensive. When the explosion occurred, the defensive alchemical equipment on his body saved his life.

Soon, the smoke and dust cleared, and the box was in a mess, with broken limbs everywhere.

Most of Edward's guards were killed or injured in the explosion. The remaining guards, led by the butler, were fighting with several men in black.

The butler's weapon is a flaming knife with a curved shape. It looks somewhat similar to the Atkan scimitar in the Middle East. This knife combines the advantages of both swords and knives and is quite convenient to use.

Therefore, the butler's knife skills were very strange, like both a knife and a sword. While swinging the knife, he also mixed in elbow strikes, shoulder strikes and knee kicks. Because his body was covered in flames, his entire body was a weapon from head to toe.

As for those Royal Anglican knights who were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, they had of course disappeared.

Edward understood instantly that he had just been under an illusion.

The illusion was actually performed by Huang Xian, and the ones who performed it were several senior immortals in the guard hall who possessed the disciples who were sent out for rituals.

Although Hutang is a branch hall, it was a complete hall with all the necessary facilities before it was merged into Tiantong Hall. The several immortals in charge were all the former branch hall masters.

They relied on Huang Xian's illusion to sneak into the Peace Hotel and came all the way to this floor. Seeing so many alien guards, they thought there would be a fierce battle.

However, they never expected that most of the foreign guards were fools and failed to detect the situation, allowing them to rush directly into the box.

What was unexpected was that the butler in the room was not a fool, but a master who blocked the sudden murderous intent.

But soon, an immortal broke through the obstruction of the butler and guards and rushed towards Edward.

"The ones who would come to kill me at this time are probably those damn Qinqiang poor guys!" Edward quickly raised his gun and shot.

The flaming bullet shot out from the muzzle, and the man who was rushing towards him suddenly felt his bones crackle, as if he had turned into a soft snake, twisting his body in the air and thus dodged the bullet.

Then, the black-clad man's face twisted, his upper and lower jaws opened wide, and the black mask was actually broken, revealing a bloody mouth.

The mouth opened and closed at a wide angle, revealing a forked tongue and barbed fangs that were filled with purple venom, and a fishy odor filled the air.

"What kind of monster is this?" Edward was shocked. Just when he was about to be eaten, a ring on his hand glowed and a spherical light shield appeared, covering him.

The snake-like monster bit the light shield and sprayed out a large amount of purple venom that flowed down along the light shield without the light shield trembling at all.

"grass!"

The snake man's teeth ached from biting his teeth, and without even bothering to close his mouth, he pulled out the dagger in his hand and chopped at the light shield quickly, causing sparks to fly.
