Wang Yiwuâs attitude seemed very calm.But without a second word, Zhongxuan Shengâs Path Origin surged wildly, and his huge body was sent flying backwards.
âDarn it!
This son of a gun has gone mad!!!â
That day, near the city gates, the question Wang Yiwu asked wasâ
âDo you want to die?â
Wang Yiwu actually wanted to kill the legitimate heir of Qi Countryâs noble Zhong Xuan Family right here at the East Street intersection in Linyi City!
Who was Zhongxuan Sheng?
The blood grandson of Marquis of Bowang, Zhongxuan Yunbo, the dearest cousin of Lord Dingyuan, Zhongxuan Chuliang, and also one of the strongest contenders for the future head of the Zhong Xuan Family!
It was no exaggeration to say that his life or death could provoke major disturbances throughout Qi Country.
And Wang Yiwu wanted to kill him in Linyi.
If not madness, then what?
Even Su She, who everyone thought had lost his mind, had never entertained such a notion.
If Zhongxuan Sheng died here today, Wang Yiwu would undoubtedly face the most frenzied retaliation from the Zhong Xuan Family.
No matter how much Jiang Mengxiong could suppress the current era, could he really stand against the two Lords of the Zhong Xuan Family for a disciple who made such a grave mistake, causing one of the most prestigious families in Qi Country to turn against the military?
Even if Wang Yiwu could save his life, his political prospects would be utterly ruined.
He was risking his entire future for the secure position of head of the Zhongxuan Zun family.
No matter how you looked at it, this choice could only be described as foolish.
Thatâs why even the intelligent Zhongxuan Sheng never considered this possibility.
Wang Yiwu was, after all, a distinguished disciple of the military god, the most dazzling rising star of the Sky-covering Army, the first Tongtian Environment of ancient and modern times, and acknowledged by many as the number one rising dragon in the world.
His future was bright, his prospects limitless!
He was not some desperate commoner or cornered beast, how could he possibly gamble everything he had?
Because it was so improbable, Zhongxuan Sheng was caught completely off guard.
Inside âMenghua,â in the ready-to-wear shop personally managed by Zhongxuan Zun.
At the first opportunity, Zhongxuan Sheng made the best decisionâto avoid the sharp edge!
This was no Heavenly Abode Secret Land; there was no need to fight a life-and-death battle with Wang Yiwu here.
This was Linyi!
This was the busy East Street intersection!
As soon as the commotion of battle began, people would quickly intervene.
The Capital Commandant, Zheng Shi, who was in charge of public security and had a conflict with Wang Yiwu over Zheng Shangmingâs affairs, would likely get involved.
Moreover, the âHell Has No Doorâ assassination attempt on Zhao Xuan happened not long ago, and Linyi City was in a tense period.
The Forbidden Army, even the Palace Guards, would probably send someone.
As long as he kept his life, once the disturbance broke out, there would naturally be strong figures who would restrain Wang Yiwu.
To be accurate, Wang Yiwu going mad was a good thing.
If he dared to cause trouble and assault the legitimate heir of the Zhong Xuan Family, Zhongxuan Sheng wouldnât care about taking the matter to Emperor Qi.
The entire Zhong Xuan Family would not dare to not take a stand on such a matter.
This obligatory âtaking sidesâ would be devastating for the Zhongxuan Zun familyâs control over power.
Based merely on the fact Wang Yiwu suddenly turned on him, at the very least that man could be confined for three years, which was akin to cutting off one of Zhongxuan Zunâs arms.
By the time Zhongxuan Zun left Under Jixuegong, he would have a new advantage.
As thoughts raced through his mind, Zhongxuan Sheng had already clarified everything.
Thus, he retreated without a momentâs hesitation.
His corpulent body smashed through his attendants and the counter, hurtling towards the back wall.
As Zhongxuan Sheng retreated, Wang Yiwu advanced.
He stood at the entrance, moving forward from the doorway.
He took strides, charging in alone.
Although the door and walls seemed motionless, they felt as if they were pressing in with him, an omnipresent oppressive feeling like an iron wall thunderously advancing!
Without needing Zhongxuan Shengâs orders, his attendants had already sprung into action.
One trains soldiers for a thousand days to use them for a single moment.
If they donât step up when Zhongxuan Sheng is in danger, whatâs the use of raising them?
The Water Dragon Wave, Flame-Light Arrow, Iron CageâŚ
A barrage of colorful Dao Techniques exploded forth.
Two swords, a hammer, a whip⌠All sorts of weapons infused with Path Origin bravely charged forward.
Facing Wang Yiwu, whom the people of Linzi unanimously regarded as the worldâs number one soaring dragon, no one dared to hold back.
The fight had reached a terrifying intensity from the get-go.
The shopkeeper of âDream Blossom,â however, commanded his staff to retreat to the sidelines at this moment.
They neither obstructed Zhongxuan Sheng nor prevented Wang Yiwu.
No matter what decision Wang Yiwu made, they absolutely could not get involved.
They could not have any connection with the act of âkilling Zhongxuan Sheng.â Because that would make the defense of Zhongxuan Zun impossible!
An offensive that exploded in an instant almost swept through the entire room.
And Wang Yiwu merely raised his fist.
He just simply lifted his fist and swung it.
Boom!
Brilliant light burst forth and broken weapons flew chaotically.
All the onslaughts were crushed by this punch!
His stride did not pause, nor did his fists.
Another step forward, advance again, swing another punch.
He only threw one fist, but everyoneâs eyes saw that punch.
Boom!
Chests caved, skulls shattered, abdomens pierced⌠bodies fell scattered in all directions.
Just this one punch.
All the followers brought by Zhongxuan Sheng had been wiped out.
Meanwhile, Zhongxuan Sheng had already crashed through two walls and was about to break through the third to escape the room.
Bang!
The sound of a heavy object hitting.
What seemed to be an ordinary wall at that moment was like an iron wall.
Zhongxuan Sheng couldnât budge it and was even bounced back!
Zhongxuan Sheng, with his high-level vision, understood what he had encountered after just this one resistance.
âSilent Beheading Order!â
Despite being called an order, it was actually the name of an Array Plate.
This was an Array Plate used by small teams within the Sky-covering Army for execution of decapitation missions.
It was one of the most supreme, a first-rate Magic Artifact in the army!
There were not many of these in the entire Sky-covering Armyâs inventory.
A person marked by the âBeheading Orderâ could never leave the range of the âBeheading Order.â
Unless they died in battle or killed the person holding the âBeheading Order.â
Outside the range of the âBeheading Order,â everything seemed normal to bystanders, hence the term âsilent beheading.â
There were historically numerous cases where elite squads of the Sky-covering Army used this order to behead enemy generals and retreated safely, while the enemy only discovered their leaderâs death afterward.
Although it was a consumable Magic Artifact, it was still a heavy weapon of the army.
However, Wang Yiwu had used it to ensnare and attempt to kill Zhongxuan Sheng.
Zhongxuan Sheng sneered, âUsing a military heavy artifact for personal gain to trap and kill me, a fellow citizen of Qi Country, is this what you call the big picture?â
But Wang Yiwu did not speak; instead, he changed the direction of his steps and threw another punch!
His fists poured down like a flood from the sky.
This punch directly blasted all the workers from âDream Blossomâ to their deaths, sparing only the shopkeeper.
âYoung Master Wang, youâŚâ The shopkeeper of Dream Blossom turned pale as ash.
Wang Yiwuâs fist stopped in front of him then moved away.
âI just needed to ensure no interference.
Aâzun really likes the clothes you make; I wonât kill you.
Go hide to the side.â
At this point in the âDream Blossomâ shop, aside from Wang Yiwu, only the shopkeeper, Zhongxuan Sheng, and fourteen were left alive.
Each person had a glowing â beheadâ character mark on them.
The âSilent Beheading Orderâ could only mark three people at most; those not marked could still come and go freely.
He killed all those who could not be marked to prevent anyone from slipping away and alarming the Beiyaduwei.
Wang Yiwu turned back around and looked at Zhongxuan Sheng again.
âEnsuring that Aâzun has clothes he likes to wear is my view of the bigger picture.â
