The First Marquis of Daxuan

Hou Wuque sat in the Wuling City Lord's Mansion, feeling very proud and satisfied.

A few days ago, he used the Dragon Spine Whip to severely injure the world-famous general Zhuge Jingang.

Before Su Mu's rise, Zhuge Jingang was the most famous person in the world who practiced martial arts to achieve sainthood.

Hou Wuque even felt that Su Mu might not be Zhuge Jingang's opponent.

On Zhuge Jingang, he successfully verified the power of the Dragon Spine Whip.

The Dragon Spine Whip can indeed restrain strong people who are on the path of becoming a saint through the physical body.

Even someone as strong as Zhuge Jingang was nearly beaten to death by his Dragon Spine Whip, so shouldn't it be easy for him to capture a mere Su Mu?

Unfortunately, if he didn't want to occupy Wuling City, he would have wanted to find Su Mu right now and settle the previous grudges.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Su Mu is coming to Jingzhou to be the commander-in-chief. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between him and Su Mu!
"Leader——"

Just as Hou Wuque was thinking, someone suddenly ran in hurriedly.

"Shut up!"

Hou Wuque scolded, "How many times have I told you? When we were in Wuling City, you called me City Lord!"

Hou Wuque had an exquisite human skin mask on his face, which looked exactly like Luo Yuxuan, the lord of Wuling City.

"City Lord——"

The believer panted and said, "This is terrible.

Zhao Po Nu, Lin Qi Huan and others have gathered outside the city and want to confront you, the city lord."

"Confrontation? Confront what?"

Hou Wuque frowned.

"They brought Luo Yuxuan and said that you, the city lord, are fake..."

The believer said.

"Luo Yuxuan? The Black Lotus Master is this piece of trash!"

Hou Wuque snorted coldly.

The Black Lotus Envoy went to hunt down Luo Yuxuan, but now Luo Yuxuan has found the Wuling Taiping Division.

"How many of them are there?"

Hou Wuque asked coldly.

"There are about thirty or forty people."

The believer said.

"There are only thirty or forty people, yet they dare to come outside the city and shout."

Hou Wuque sneered, "It's just right, we can completely eliminate the trouble today.

Pass the order down, someone is impersonating the Taiping Division and the city lord, the city lord will personally arrest this group of lunatics!"

Zhao Po Nu and Lin Qi Huan are only at the True Yuan Realm.

The other Taiping commanders are even less of a concern.

If I hadn't had to pretend to be Luo Yuxuan, I could have defeated them all by myself!

…………

Among the crowd, Su Mu, Luo Anning, Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong and Shi Binbin stood at the back of the crowd in a low-key manner.

They now have disguises on their faces, and people who are not particularly familiar with them will definitely not be able to recognize who they are.

"What do you think? If there are too many people from the Pure Land Sect, can we defeat them?"

Shi Binbin nudged Dongfang Liuyun's shoulder and whispered.

"If you can't beat them, just run away."

Dongfang Liuyun said casually, "I'm not bragging. When I was in Yuzhou, Prince Su Li Shu's army of hundreds of thousands couldn't catch up with me. It's still a long way to go for the Pure Land Sect to catch up with me."

"Can you die if you don't brag?"

Mo Xuesong said disdainfully, "If you have the ability, you can wipe out the Pure Land Sect."

"Why do you think I'm standing here?"

Eastern Flowing Clouds.

"You two are no match for the people from Wuling Taiping Division. Do you think they are nervous? You two still need to practice."

Mo Xuesong and Shi Binbin rolled their eyes at the same time.

"coming!"

Hundreds of figures rushed out from the gate of Wuling City.

The one riding the horse in the front was "Luo Yuxuan".

It has to be said that the Pure Land Sect's disguise technique is no less advanced than that of the Golden Wind Tower.

Everyone knew that Luo Yuxuan on the opposite side was fake, but they couldn't see any flaws at all.

Zhao Po Nu and Lin Qi Huan looked at each other. They were familiar with Luo Yu Xuan, but if they had not known about it beforehand, they might not be able to recognize this fake Luo Yu Xuan when they suddenly met him.

When they thought that all the officials of Wuling City were disguised as followers of the Pure Land Sect, they felt a chill in their hearts.

"stop!"

Lin Qihuan took a step forward and shouted, "Who are you?!"

"Who am I? I am the Lord of Wuling City and the Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Yuxuan."

Hou Wuque said with a sneer.

"You are Luo Yuxuan, then who am I?"

Luo Yuxuan walked out from the crowd and shouted loudly.

"Just a fake."

Hou Wuque said disdainfully, "You are so bold that you actually intend to impersonate this city lord. I think you two are also pretending to be the Pacification Division's pacification envoys.

Come on, capture them. This city lord will interrogate them to find out their origins and why they dared to impersonate officials of the imperial court!"

Before he could finish his words, hundreds of people had already drawn their swords and rushed towards the crowd.

The Pure Land Sect is even more brutal than Su Mu and the others expected.

I knew they would come out of the city to kill people, but I didn't expect them to be so straightforward.

"kill!"

Lin Qihuan shouted loudly, drew the long sword from his waist and slashed towards Hou Wuque.

The moment he drew his sword, Zhao Po Nu also drew his sword at the same time.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Hou Wuque at the same time.

"Just you?"

Hou Wuque sneered.

boom!
His robes moved without wind, and a powerful aura rose from him.

boom!boom!
He swayed his body and threw out two punches at lightning speed.

The two punches hit Lin Qihuan and Zhao Po Nu's swords almost at the same time.

A violent force surged, and the two pacification envoys of Wuling Taiping Division were thrown backwards at the same time.

At this time, the hundreds of Pure Land Sect believers had already collided with the rest of the people.

"The enemy is fierce, run away!"

Su Mu did not rush to attack, but pretended to be defeated, retreating while shouting.

Lin Qihuan and Zhao Po Nu stumbled to the ground, turned around and ran.

"Want to escape?"

Hou Wuque snorted coldly, "Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

He stepped forward and chased after him.

"Master, don't chase after the desperate enemy, beware of fraud!"

The Red Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect reminded.

"They are just two people in the Jindan stage, so what if they are cheating?

In the face of absolute strength, any small tricks are not worth worrying about."

Hou Wuque said confidently, "Chase them, and leave no one behind!"

After saying that, he chased in the direction Lin Qihuan and Zhao Po Nu fled.

The Red Lotus Envoy frowned, and seeing that Hou Wuque had already led his men to catch up, he also took a step forward to follow.

Although it was a bit strange, the leader was right. There were no strong people in the Wuling Taiping Division. Even if there was a conspiracy, with his and the leader's strength, they could easily be crushed.

Two groups of people, one chasing and the other fleeing.

Soon they ran more than ten miles.

The city wall of Wuling City is almost invisible, and the people on the wall naturally cannot see the situation here.

Lin Qihuan and Zhao Po Nu suddenly stopped.

Hou Wuque followed them slowly, and when he saw them stop, a sneer appeared on his face.

“Why don’t you run away?” Hou Wuque stopped several dozen feet away from the others, with a playful look on his face, like a cat playing with a mouse, and sneered, “Let your ambushers come out. I like to see you struggle hard, and finally have to accept reality in despair.”

Ever since Su Mu destroyed his inner elixir, Hou Wuque's psychology has become increasingly distorted.

Crash.

The sounds of weapons being unsheathed were continuous.

Dozens of figures dressed in brocade and black shirts emerged from the forest and quickly stood behind Lin Qihuan and Zhao Po Nu.

The sneer on Hou Wuque's face became even more intense.

"Is there really an ambush?"

Hou Wuque said coldly, "Even if all of you Wuling Taiping Division members were here, it would be useless."

"Aren't you pretending?"

Lin Qihuan said coldly, "Who is the fake one?"

"Do you think you still have a chance to tell the truth?"

Hou Wuque said nonchalantly, "I originally wanted to let you live a little longer, but since you want to die, I will grant your wish.

Afterwards, I will inform Jingzhou Taiping Division that you encountered monsters in Daxing Mountain and your entire army was wiped out.

When the Jingzhou Taiping Division sends people, I will send them to reunite with you.

It won't be long before I make sure that no one from the Taiping Division will be left in Jingzhou!"

"Insanity!"

The mature and prudent Zhao Po Nu could not help but get angry and said, "It is still unknown who will win.

Today, I, the Taiping Division, will bring you to justice!"

Everyone drew their swords, and the shining blades became one.

"Brothers, let these ignorant guys know what despair is."

Hou Wuque flexed his wrist, waved his hand and said.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a man dressed in Taiping lieutenant uniform and with an ordinary appearance rushing out from the Taiping Division team opposite.

Just as he raised his hand to slap the minion to death, a trusted cultist stood up.

"Master, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? He is just a Taiping lieutenant. I can kill him with just a backhand."

The believer said confidently.

As everyone knows, Captain Taiping is only at the rebirth stage.

But he is a strong man at the initial stage of Zhenyuan Realm!
"Okay, go kill him."

Hou Wuque put his hands behind his back and said, "Kill a Taiping Duwei and you will get a reward of 100 taels. Kill a Taiping Xiaowei and you will get a reward of 1,000 taels and be promoted one level."

While he was speaking, the trusted believer had already rushed out.

boom!
There was a loud bang.

Hou Wuque and the others looked at the blurry mass of flesh and blood with their eyes widened at the same time.

With just one move, he was smashed into a pulp?
"You are not the Taiping Captain!"

Hou Wuque said angrily.

Is it easy for him to cultivate a confidant to the True Yuan Realm?

He died just like that!
Shi Binbin was carrying a huge bronze bell.

"Guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no reward."

Shi Binbin laughed and said, "Grandpa will give you a clock today!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw the bronze bell weapon in his hand out.

The bronze bell weapon that had just crushed a True Yuan Realm warrior to death swelled up in the wind, instantly becoming several feet in size, and smashed down towards the Pure Land Sect members.

Hou Wuque was furious.

He flicked his wrist, took out the Dragon Spine Whip, and whipped it into the air.

hum!
The dragon spine whip hit the bronze bell weapon, making a deafening sound.

Dense spider-web-like cracks immediately appeared on the bronze bell weapon.

Hou Wuque whipped again, and the bronze bell and the mysterious weapon turned into countless fragments and shot out, making a hissing sound.

Two whips broke a piece of black weapon. Hou Wuque rushed forward and swung the Dragon Back Whip towards Shi Binbin, wanting to kill this hiding guy with one whip.

Shi Binbin let out a strange cry, and lightning suddenly burst out from under his feet, and his figure whooshed away dozens of feet away.

Murderous intent flashed in Hou Wuque's eyes.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

"Your opponent is me."

"court death!"

Hou Wuque looked at the ordinary man in front of him and became furious.

As soon as he raised the Dragon Spine Whip, a dazzling flame appeared before his eyes.

A strong wind arose, blowing the flames, and in an instant a giant three-legged tripod condensed, spinning rapidly and suppressing the enemy.

"Vision, Fire Wind Cauldron!"

Hou Wuque's pupils contracted.

"You are Su Mu!"

He finally came to his senses.

In the Daxuan Taiping Division, the only person who has mastered the strange phenomenon "Fire Wind Cauldron" is Su Mu!

Hou Wuque was shocked and angry, and at the same time, his heart was filled with endless fighting spirit.

He had once suffered a great humiliation at the hands of Su Mu, and these days, he had been thinking all the time about washing away the humiliation with blood.

Today, I finally have this opportunity!
"You've come just in time! If I kill you, Jingzhou will be mine!"

Although Su Mu came suddenly, he, Hou Wuque, is no longer the same as before.

With a long roar, Hou Wuque swung the Dragon Spine Whip and attacked the strange phenomenon in the air.

The Dragon Spine Whip was one of the thirteen treasures of the Great Xuan Ancestor back then. It is a semi-divine weapon.

It restrains the martial art of sanctifying the physical body, but that doesn't mean it only has that ability.

Semi-divine weapons are inherently powerful.

There was a bang.

The strange vision was dispersed by the dragon spine whip and turned into flames that dissipated in the air.

"Su Mu! What about the vision? I have a semi-divine weapon in my hand. Today, you will definitely die!"

The power in Hou Wuque's body surged, and he threw the Dragon Spine Whip into the sky.

The dragon spine whip transformed into a black dragon with bared fangs and claws.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

Looking at the circling black dragon flying towards him, Su Mu's expression changed slightly.

The next moment, he flipped his wrist, and a curled up green snake appeared on his palm.

The little snake's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

An invisible pressure spread instantly.

The black dragon transformed from the dragon spine whip in the sky suddenly stopped.

There was a snap.

The black dragon fell from the sky and bowed in front of Su Mu.

The green snake in Su Mu's palm opened its mouth, let out a roar, and swallowed the black dragon into its mouth.

The black dragon transformed from the Dragon Spine Whip was several feet long, but the green snake was only as thick as a finger.

But when it opened its mouth, it actually swallowed the black dragon.

Such a contrasting scene made everyone who was fighting stunned for a moment.

Su Mu also showed surprise on his face.

The green snake swallowed the dragon spine whip, closed its eyes again, and curled up into a ball.

Su Mu carefully put it in his arms and looked up at Hou Wuque.

"Since you gave me such a great gift, I will give you a quick death."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, a sonic boom sounded.

Su Mu suddenly appeared in front of Hou Wuque.

boom!
Hou Wuque bent like a shrimp and flew out suddenly, knocking down countless Pure Land Sect followers along the way.

Just when he was about to steady himself, Su Mu appeared behind him like a shadow and knocked him to the ground with a whip kick.

In an instant, Hou Wuque felt as if countless bones in his body were broken.

"Su Mu!"

Hou Wuque roared heartbreakingly, and a white light shot out from his brow, transforming into a ten-foot-tall golden white lotus statue, blocking Su Mu's way. (End of this chapter)
