After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"Since you're already here, stay all of you."

Chen Futu lazily stepped out of the carriage, sword in hand. He stretched in front of all the female assassins, then pointed his sword at the leader of the group. "I don't kill nameless nobodies. Tell me, who sent you?"

"Your Highness is quite cunning; it turns out there was a master like the princess hidden in the carriage."

"I am best at dealing with rats in the gutter. It doesn't matter if you don't talk. Once I catch you, I have a thousand ways to play with you."

Chen Futu waved his hand, and Liu Longyue immediately drew her sword and charged.

She was forcibly dragged here by Chen Futu today, but this was also her chance to show off, so she had no reason to refuse.

She immediately realized the situation was tricky after just one exchange. The woman leading the fight was very strong, at least at the early stage of the Innate Realm, and judging from her methods, she seemed to be a professional assassin, with each move being extremely vicious.

Chen Futu was not idle either; he unleashed his Great Grade Sword Technique and engaged in battle with the other women.

With his current strength, he is invincible below the Innate Realm and can even contend with those above it. These women are mostly at the seventh or eighth rank, so they are not qualified to kill him.

"Retreat quickly!"

The woman in the lead, fearing a scheme, and even more worried that An Jingsi and Ge Fei might return, hurriedly ordered a retreat.

Unfortunately, she was overthinking it. An Jingsi and Ge Fei had already returned, cutting off their escape routes from two directions.

"Damn it!"

The woman gritted her teeth, leaped aside to avoid Liu Longyue, and charged toward Chen Fu to slaughter him.

She planned to take a risky gamble to capture Chen Futu, and then everything would be over.

"You think you can kill me?"

The moment the other woman reached him, Chen Futu released a handful of dust, and the woman screamed and covered her eyes, "You despicable villain!"

"This is my chili powder concoction, a simplified version of pepper spray. It tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"

Taking advantage of the woman's brief loss of fighting ability, Chen Futu and Liu Longyue quickly killed the other female assassins. Just as they were about to take down their opponent, the woman suddenly bit something, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell silent.

She is dead.

A person with congenital disease died just like that.

Liu Longyue clicked her tongue in amazement: "What kind of power is this, to have such a grand gesture? Even a Xiantian expert would accept poison without hesitation."

"Fine, fine, I was hoping to capture someone alive as a breakthrough point, but you're playing me like this, aren't you?"

Chen Futu was so angry that he laughed and ordered An Jingsi to have the bodies of these female assassins taken away and hung on the city tower, with notices posted announcing their crimes.

"If one comes, I'll kill one; if two come, I'll kill two."

Chen Futu refused to believe that he couldn't kill off this bunch of stinking rats.

Moreover, Di Renjie's side will probably be able to catch some murderers tonight as a breakthrough. As long as the evidence is conclusive, regardless of their identities or backgrounds, they will all be exposed.

Soon, the corpses were hung in the city, and the people were talking about it.

"These people are incredibly audacious! They actually dared to assassinate the Crown Prince!"

"They probably don't want the crown prince to succeed to the throne of the Northern Frontier King, so they're all desperate and resorting to extreme measures."

“My Dragon City is full of fierce generals, yet they still dare to plot against the Crown Prince. It’s utterly absurd.”

The people were discussing it animatedly, while some people secretly slipped away.

Chen Futu asked Liu Longyue, "Do you know any assassin organizations in the martial arts world?"

Liu Longyue thought for a moment and replied, "There is a Red Moon Pavilion in the Great Qian Dynasty that specializes in assassinations and intelligence. I think these women are probably assassins carefully trained by the Red Moon Pavilion. They probably entered the city by blending in with the migrants from Chuzhou. It's really hard to guard against them. Your Highness should follow Mr. Zhuge's advice and try to minimize going out these days."

"Reduce? Why reduce? On my turf, do you think I'm afraid of them?"

Chen Futu disliked hiding and preferring to confront things head-on.

【Ding! 】

[The enemy has detected a deep-seated hatred for the host and intends to eliminate the host in the most direct way possible before the host becomes the King of the Northern Frontier. Please make your choice.]

[Option 1: Follow Zhuge Liang's advice, hide in the royal court, and live a secluded life. Reward: "Coward" title]

[Option 2: Consult your advisors to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop; reward: the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword]

[Option 3: Continue to try to lure the enemy out of their hole and kill as many enemy troops as possible. The reward level will be upgraded to the peak of Grade 9.]

【The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, a legendary sword of emperors, capable of cutting through iron like mud and severing hair with a breath, truly a king's sword】

"I choose three."

Chen Futu no longer wanted to use any strategies; as long as he was strong enough, no one could kill him if he just stood there.

[Selection successful. With your current cultivation level combined with the Martial God Body and a Grand-grade sword technique, you can defeat ordinary Innate Realm cultivators and fight against ordinary peak Innate Realm cultivators.]

"Not bad, not bad. But what if we face Guan Yu and his fellow peak-stage Innate Realm cultivators?"

[The host will be instantly killed. It is recommended that the host reach the peak of the Innate Realm before fighting them.]

"You mean their strength has increased, and I can't possibly defeat them across realms?"

As legendary warriors who have left their mark on history, each one is a chosen one of heaven. They each possess their own unique path and insights. They can only defeat enemies beyond their own realm; how could they be defeated by others crossing realms?

[The host's current strength is barely enough to contend with Qin Liangyu, who is at the early stage of the Innate Realm, but he is still no match for her.]

"All right……"

Chen Futu knew this would be the outcome. Fortunately, he couldn't defeat Guan Yu and the others, but he could fight against ordinary peak-stage innate cultivators, which was enough.

It's a pity I didn't get the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. I must find an opportunity to get my hands on the divine weapon as well. Only then can I unleash the Great Grade Sword Technique, killing anyone who gets in my way and even gods who are in my way. I will no longer need any guards.

The carriage returned to the royal court.

When the old lady learned of the attack, she rushed over, accompanied by a maid carrying a sword.

Chen Futu laughed and said, "Mother, who am I? How could I be harmed by a bunch of lowlifes?"

"You now represent the northern frontier, and there is no room for error. Be more cautious when you travel in the future."

"Remember this, son."

Chen Futu bowed his head and agreed.

The old lady then warned Liu Longyue, "Your strength is quite good. In the future, you will also protect the young master closely, lest any accidents occur."

"My daughter-in-law understands."

For some reason, Liu Longyue felt that Chen Futu's aura suddenly became very strong. Although it was only for a short moment, it gave her a chilling feeling.

The old lady handed the sword to Chen Futu, saying, "This was your father's sword, called Fengyin. It was given to him by a master blacksmith from Beiyue Mountain. Now that he is gone, this sword should be passed down to you."

Chen Futu was overjoyed and quickly grabbed the longsword.

Its scabbard is as black as ink; when the sword is drawn, one can hear the wind whispering; the sharp blade can reflect a person's facial features.

"What a fine sword, truly a fine sword."

Chen Futu was very fond of Fengyin. Although he hadn't obtained the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, this sword was enough to deal with some assassinations.

After seeing the old lady off, Chen Futu instructed Mao Xiang to spread the word that the young master would be going hunting in three days.

This was done to attract more assassins. Chen Futu wanted to see how many of them there were and whether he could kill them all!
