In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Just now I was about to report the news when Manager Jin discovered me, then subdued me and threw me out.”

"What? Useless!"

Murong Fu's expression immediately turned ugly. He looked at his subordinate in disbelief, and in a fit of anger, he casually threw the man inside again.

Seeing the figure screaming in the flames, Murong Fu's eyes were filled with rage.

"Lord Li, what should we do now?"

"Ignore them, a group of people pose no threat. The priority is to surround and kill the gold-protecting team."

"Yes!"

boom!

With a deafening roar, the burning restaurant suddenly exploded, and flames rained down on everyone like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.

But that wasn't the most terrifying thing. In an instant, endless steel balls and iron nails burst out from the wine jar. The people, who had been caught off guard, never expected that their opponent had such a trick up their sleeve.

These steel balls and nails cannot kill people, but their cruelty is no less than that of Murong Fu burning people alive.

Even when Murong Fu sensed the approaching hidden weapon, his longsword was already drawn.

The sword net was sharp and continuous. With a burst of intense sparks, Murong Fu barely managed to block the steel balls and iron nails.

"Ah! My face!"

"Ouch! That hurts..."

"My eyes, my eyes..."

Screams rang in his ears. After Murong Fu calmed down, dozens of people had already fallen there.

His murderous intent reached its peak at that moment; he had never suffered such a great loss before.

He knew this was no coincidence; he had been set up from the very beginning.

"Oh no, the wine!"

Suddenly I thought of those eight jars of tribute wine. If Manager Jin had been planning this long, what would have happened to those wines?

The thought of this possibility plunged Murong Fu into deep despair.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"Yes, it smells like wine, but much more fragrant, like flowers..."

One underhanded trick after another, and when Murong Fu noticed the strange fragrance, he thought to himself, "Holy crap!"

"The scent is poisonous, don't breathe!"

what?

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed immediately. Murong Fu, in particular, was appalled by the shamelessness of the other party's methods as he watched the strange fragrance slowly spreading.

They had never encountered such a shameless opponent, whose despicable methods caused them unbearable pain.

However, the aroma grew stronger, yet none of the people showed any signs of poisoning.

···

"What happened? Why did it suddenly catch fire over there?"

"And it was a huge fire!"

Hong Qi and the others looked at the firelight that illuminated half the sky in Zhuxian Town. It was much more brilliant than the clouds, but the killing intent within it was terrifying.

"What ruthless methods! Murder to silence witnesses!"

"Could it be that..."

Upon realizing a certain possibility, everyone's pupils contracted, and they were also stunned by the other party's ruthlessness.

They knew many businessmen had come today, but they never expected the other party to be so cruel as to kill them all, showing no humanity whatsoever.

"Yang Kang!"

"So you are that brat from the Yang family who has recognized a thief as his father?"

The Tianbo family was once filled with loyal and valiant men, and your father, Yang Tiexin, was a true hero. Who would have thought he would give birth to such a wretched child as you?

Upon hearing Guo Jing's voice, Hong Qigong looked at the young man at the head of the crowd and his expression immediately turned ugly.

He knew Yang Kang, but he never expected that all of this was orchestrated by him.

Upon hearing this rebuke, many were surprised by Wanyan Kang's identity.

Unexpectedly, this young prince of the Jin Kingdom was not only a Han Chinese, but also a descendant of the Tianbo Mansion, a family of loyal martyrs.

Considering the loyalty and righteousness of the Tianbo Mansion, and then looking at Yang Kang's appearance, it was extremely ironic.

"I am Wanyan Kang, not Yang Kang."

"Chief Qiu, a wise man knows when to yield; he hasn't abandoned the darkness for the light yet."

"Haha, if it were yesterday, I might have taken a gamble on what you said, young prince."

But now, Qiu cannot!

Qiu Qianren shook his head in refusal. Having received Qiu Qianchi's letter, he had no other choice at the moment.

Once he pledges allegiance to Wanyan Kang, Qiu Qianzhang and Qiu Qianchi will undoubtedly die.

"Chief Qiu, is there something you're having trouble saying?"

"I, Qiu, have no other choice!"

Looking at Qiu Qianren's choice, Yang Kang shook his head regretfully, knowing that Qiu Qianren was a top-notch expert.

In an instant, hidden dangers lurked all around, and the moment a signal was given, it would be time for a full-scale battle.

boom!

Upon hearing a loud bang, everyone looked in the direction of the fire and were immediately shaken.

Hong Qi and the others were shocked by the ruthlessness of these people, who even used gunpowder.

Wanyan Kang, however, understood that the gunpowder was not their doing; they had provided it all to these people.

Soon, a strange fragrance wafted over, and as soon as the fragrance appeared, everyone felt something was wrong.

Even Hong Qigong and the others rebuked the other party for their treachery, but Wanyan Kang and the others looked bewildered, because they did not have such methods, and if they did, they would have ambushed them as well.

"Let's fight them together!"

A flash of sword light appeared in the darkness, the sword shadow was extremely fast, and the chilling sword energy burst out with the sword light, instantly dismembering several black-clad assassins.

Evil sword skills!

In the darkness, a terrifying killing intent and ghostly swordsmanship darted among the assassins.

Sword flashes and blood splattered as the ghostly sword technique that had been renowned in the underworld for decades reappeared, slaughtering across the land.

"This is the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique? You're courting death!"

Suddenly, sparks flew and lightning flashed, and then a tongue of fire suddenly attacked Lin Zhennan.

The flames were mixed with a terrifying blade aura as 'Fire Cloud Evil God' Yingxia directly attacked Lin Zhennan.

The people Lin Zhennan killed were mostly assassins from the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

The swordsmanship of 'Fire Cloud Evil God' is similar to Japanese martial arts, which is also an advantage of being near the sea.

Penglai Island is located in the southern island group of Japan, and many Jiangnan gentry sent their elite warriors there for training.

It wasn't just about learning martial arts; after all, Japanese martial arts were far inferior to those of the Central Plains. What they truly cultivated was a samurai spirit, a vow of loyalty to one's family to the death.

It's like an academy, a place where you can cultivate morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and art.

A flame would occasionally surge, and the Japanese swordsmanship was sharp and ruthless;

With his ghostly speed and cunning swordsmanship, even the Fire Cloud Evil God's fire escape technique could only barely suppress Lin Zhennan, who was not yet a top-tier master.

"This evil sword technique is indeed bizarre!"

How long has Lin Zhennan cultivated to achieve such strength, and such a ghostly and sinister sword technique? I have never heard of it before.

Snapped!

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out as the two palms collided, and a fierce and chilling palm force separated instantly upon contact.

In the darkness, after Qiu Qianren knocked back the extremely fast figure with a single palm strike, Qiu Qianren also gave chase, relentlessly pursuing him.

Both men possessed unparalleled lightness skills, and they engaged in a fierce battle in the darkness, their palms clashing.

In terms of lightness skill, the Green-Winged Bat King is superior and more agile;

However, the Iron Palm's power was comparable to the Azure Winged Bat King's Ice Palm, which had gone mad from its cultivation. For a short time, the two were evenly matched in their exchange.

"Haha, how could Zhou Dian be absent from such a battle?"

The sons of the Zhang family shall pay with their lives for the Five Elements Banner!

"Is it?"

A sword aura, like a venomous snake, attacked, startling Zhou Dianfang.

Immediately, a crimson sword light, like a powerful arrow, shot straight towards them, locking onto them with a bloodthirsty and terrifying killing intent that made Zhou Dian's scalp tingle.

However, at that moment, a palm strike, arriving after the initial attack, descended, directly targeting Leng Xue's spirit.

This forced Leng Xue to abandon Zhou Dian, and at the same time, he swung his sword upwards and kicked at Zhou Dian.

Faced with Leng Xue's cold-blooded sword aura, the newcomer flipped his palm and actually knocked the longsword away in mid-air. At the same time, he disarmed Leng Xue with a move that made Leng Xue wary. The newcomer's martial arts were far superior to Zhou Dian's.

Unfortunately, the sword light turned back, and Leng Xue repelled the attacker with a single strike. At the same time, his eyes suddenly turned blood red, and his killing intent surged.

Chapter 187 After the Demise of the Four Major Powers, Visitors from the Wu Tang Dynasty

With his murderous intent surging, Leng Xue's strength also seemed to have increased, allowing him to fight three Ming Cult members alone without being at a disadvantage.

Blood Sword's fierce and domineering nature, its sword energy crisscrossing, swift and ruthless, the iron sword's swings are all about speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, there are no superfluous moves, every strike is deadly, there is no defense, all moves are desperate.

This forced Leng Qian, Shuobude, and Zhou Dian to avoid his sharp edge.

If they were to face each other head-on, they had no doubt that Leng Xue would sacrifice himself to send them away first.

Moreover, wounded wild animals are the most terrifying.

"What a cold-faced gentleman, Leng Qian! It's a pity Yang Dingtian died too young."

Otherwise, with the Two Wandering Envoys, the Four Great Dharma Kings, the Five Wanderers, and the Five Elements Flag, there would be yet another force that could rival the Zhang family.

Among the three great independent martial artists, Leng Qian's strength has reached the pinnacle. While he may not be on par with Qiu Qianren, he is by no means far inferior to Qiu Qianren, only a hair's breadth away.

Among the Four Great Protectors, Wei Yixiao excels in lightness skills, yet he is still on par with Qiu Qianren, demonstrating the strength of the others.

Such as the Sky Eagle Sect, which was famous throughout Jiangnan; the Golden-haired Lion King, who once roamed the martial arts world; and the legendary Two Carefree Envoys.

The Zoroastrian sect is among the strongest in the Central Plains, far surpassing all other sects.

Unfortunately, after Yang Dingtian disappeared, the Fire Worship Cult fell apart, and its leaders went their separate ways!

"kill!"

At this moment, thousands of assassins suddenly leaped out of the darkness throughout Zhuxian Town.

These assassins are elites and death squads from various factions, and they have been disguised here for at least ten days, all for today's killing.

Thump! Thump...

However, one after another, these assassins pounced on them.

Moreover, it wasn't just one group that fell; it was one group after another that collapsed, until finally only a handful of less than a hundred people were left standing there, bewildered and helpless.

poisoned?

Everyone immediately thought of the strange fragrance from earlier, and at the same time, they secretly circulated their internal energy, and then one after another they collapsed.

Wanyan Kang, Xingyin, the Four Evils... Even in the team protecting the gold, Abbot Juesheng suddenly collapsed, and the distribution of those poisoned was extremely irregular.

"Detoxify Master Juesheng!"

Zhao Longxiang suddenly threw a jar of wine behind him.

At the same time, he ordered all the remaining wine jars to be smashed and set on fire, igniting all the wine.
