Fu Shifeng

Chapter 294 Death is approaching

Cheng Sanwu looked at Shi Pang's body and felt a little dissatisfied. After defeating the iron-biting beast, he vaguely touched the highest level of Yanfeng Sword Technique, and could use his spiritual thoughts to turn into an invisible edge and slash out from the air.

On the way back to Lukou garrison, Cheng Sanwu played with the strange golden spirit essence and used the invisible magic edge at will. He chopped up countless trees, earth and rocks into pieces, but this was the first time he had killed a living person.

Although in the past Cheng Sanwu could emit sword light even if he was unarmed, it was after all a matter of running and condensing his own Gang Qi. There is no doubt that Cheng Sanwu was the starting point for the sword light to be emitted.

But the invisible divine front is different. It is independent of inside and outside, regardless of direction. With the thought, the slash appears out of thin air. The edge is so sharp that it can cut through gold and jade easily.

Rather, this invisible divine blade was too sharp. When Cheng Sanwu used it, it could easily extend several feet in length. Just like the original intention was to chop down a tree, but in the end it also wiped out all the surrounding trees. Although the power is powerful, such indiscriminate slashing may not be a good thing.

When Cheng Sanwu saw Shi Pang, he immediately understood that this group of people was sent by Zhu Rong Mansion, so he did not hesitate to use the Invisible Divine Edge. Looking at the broken corpses on the ground, Cheng Sanwu understood that his thoughts were still not pure enough and he could not fully control the power of the slash. This invisible divine edge still needed to be polished.

After getting off his horse, Mu Xiangling hurried over and asked, "What happened?"

Before Cheng Sanwu could answer, Qin Wangshu ran out of the courtyard. When she saw Cheng Sanwu and the others turning around, she said in a hoarse voice: "They are people from Zhu Rong Mansion, and they are here for Yuan Tongtian!"

"I know." Cheng Sanwu was not very interested.

Qin Wangshu chased him outside and saw the broken corpse on the ground. Shi Pang's head had been chopped into several pieces. The cuts were smooth and flat. It was impossible to imagine what kind of moves could cut Shi Pang into this state.

When it comes to martial arts, Shi Pang's cultivation of Gang Qi is definitely not superficial. He also specializes in the Yanfeng Sword Technique. Although he is far inferior to Cheng Sanwu, if he is placed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he can be regarded as a capable person. He is diligent and loyal enough, and a red ribbon on his waist will not be a problem.

Qin Wangshu had just fought with him and had a slight upper hand. This was because he had been sparring with Cheng Sanwu for a long time and was familiar with the Yanfeng Sword Techniques, so he was quite capable of dealing with them.

Seeing Cheng Sanwu raise his hand, Zhao Pi finally realized. He knew that the man in front of him was incredibly powerful, and he had to bring the news back to Zhu Rong Mansion alive, so he immediately said:

"Wait, wait a minute! This villain is ignorant and has offended your majesty. Please listen to my explanation!"

"Say it." Cheng Sanwu raised his hand not to kill anyone, but to smooth the mane of the maroon horse.

"After Yuan Tongtian was killed, his men came to Zhurong Mansion in Hengyang to ask for help. There were many concealments in their words, which led to misunderstandings." Zhao Pi pointed to the corpse on the ground: "Shi Pang is impulsive and likes to make his own decisions. He was killed by Your Excellency. If you are killed, you will take the blame on yourself!"

"Hmph, you are so eloquent." Although Cheng Sanwu didn't have an attack, just a faint sound made Zhao and Pi bend down even lower, cold sweat dripped to the ground, and their legs trembled. It was obviously a hot summer day, but they still couldn't. It's like being in an ice cave.

Qin Wangshu glared at the two of them, came to Cheng Sanwu's side and said, "They came to investigate the murder of Yuan Tongtian and asked me to go to Zhu Rong Mansion to apologize."

It was said to be an apology, but if a person arrived at Zhu Rong Mansion, whether he could come out alive is another matter.

"What? You want me to stand up for you?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

Qin Wangshu was stunned. Then she realized that she relied too much on Cheng Sanwu. When encountering any difficult problem, she subconsciously asked him for help first, almost forgetting that she wanted revenge.

"But, I'm also planning to go to Zhurong Mansion." Cheng Sanwu then said, "I heard that your Master Yang Mansion is very skilled in swordsmanship. I've been wanting to ask for advice for a long time."

Zhao Pi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Shi Pang was so dead just now that he had no power to fight back. He didn't even know how the other party took action.

Shi Pang is also one of the few masters second only to Yang Wujiu in Zhu Rong Mansion. This time he was sent to accompany Zhao Pi. He was sure of victory, but he didn't expect that the enemy was so powerful that he couldn't take him down for a while. Moreover, he ran into such an evil star as soon as he escaped from the door.

Zhao Pi secretly calculated that even Yang Wujiu himself would not be able to kill Shi Pang so easily. At least the two sides could survive a few moves, and the gap was definitely not as huge as it is now.

If the burly man in front of him and Yang Wujiu fought, he could already predict who would win and who would lose. This made Zhao Pi secretly think that something was not going well, and he might have to start arranging an escape route.

"I wish that everyone in the Rong Mansion would be honored to be favored by Your Excellency!" Although Zhao Pi was afraid in his heart, he showed sufficient skill on the surface: "I wonder if Your Excellency has a good name and a high family? I'd better go and report it to my adoptive father first. Sufficient hospitality etiquette."

"My name is Cheng Sanwu. I have no sect or sect." Cheng Sanwu showed his teeth and grinned ferociously: "If you have to look into it carefully, you can be considered to be from the same sect as Palace Master Yang!"

"Oh?"

Cheng Sanwu raised his hand and swept out the flaming sword light from his fingertips, directly cutting off Zhao Pi Baogong's hands.

Zhao Pi recognized that the other party was performing the Yanfeng Sword Technique. He didn't feel it at first, but when he saw his hands falling to the ground, his fingers were still twitching slightly, he immediately fell to the ground and screamed loudly.

Ma Lao was shocked when he saw this, raised his finger and shouted: "伱——"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Sanwu waved his hand again, and the flaming sword light directly struck the opponent's face.

Two balls of blood burst out from Ma Lao's eyes. He also fell to the ground and covered his face, rolling around wildly, showing his ugly appearance.

"It's still so smooth." Cheng Sanwu rubbed his fingers, and then said to the two people on the ground: "Since it is an offense, then you have to pay the price of the offense. If you give me a little punishment, it will be regarded as your apology."

Cheng Sanwu didn't have a good impression of Zhu Rong Mansion. If they invaded the house while he was away, he would definitely not be polite. Anyway, Qin Wangshu will take revenge sooner or later, so he doesn't mind uprooting the entire Zhu Rong Mansion.

"Save your two lives and take my words back." Cheng Sanwu said: "I will go to Hengyang Zhurong Mansion in a while and let Yang Wujiu wait for me for a long time. If you want to escape, I will Make sure there is no place for him in this world!"

Zhao Pi was so frightened that he could only nod his head. But that old man Ma still couldn't change his stubbornness and kept shouting curses in dialect. Although Cheng Sanwu couldn't understand, he knew that those words were not good words.

"I'll let you taste the unspeakable suffering."

Cheng Sanwu slashed with his knife, and the flames flowed like a whip, hitting Ma Lao's throat. He only heard a squeaking sound, and half a circle of burns appeared on Ma Lao's neck. And not only was there superficial damage, the inflammatory energy also forced its way deep into the flesh and blood, directly burning the vocal cords but not damaging the Qi and blood meridians.

Ma Lao was in so much pain that he twisted and rolled on the ground crazily. He opened his mouth wide and made a hoarse sound, but could not say a word.

"Go away!" With Cheng Sanwu's current strength, in his opinion, these guys are just like naughty children. Apart from being noisy and annoying, there is nothing else worthy of praise.

Although Cheng Sanwu doesn't like that kind of detached and profound attitude, he is now infinitely close to the innate state, and his perspective on other things is different from the past.

Zhao Pi and Ma Lao supported each other and staggered away. Qin Wangshu ignored them, but stared at the corpse broken into dozens of pieces on the ground.

"What's there to see?" Cheng Sanwu asked: "Although he can also use the Yanfeng Sword Technique, he is obviously not your opponent. And I can see clearly at a glance that this person does not know how to resolve the Yanjin self-inflicted injury. I suffer a few days every month." Qin Wangshu replied: "This man followed Yang Wujiu and killed my father."

Hearing this, Cheng Sanwu waved his hand to tell Zhang Fan and others who were watching closely to leave.

"Do you recognize him?" Mu Xiangling stepped forward and asked softly.

Qin Wangshu shook his head: "I... was born in Anxingzhuang, Jiangling. My family used to have a small amount of money and didn't have to work hard for food and clothing. My father yearned for chivalry in the world, so he made friends with many people in the martial arts world. He often mediated conflicts for his comrades, and later he got into trouble for this. Yang Wujiu."

Cheng Sanwu and Mu Xiangling actually knew more or less about these past events, but they did not interrupt Qin Wangshu's memories:

"When Yang Wujiu went to Anxing Village alone, he also brought a group of thugs with him. The diners in the village resisted for a while, but seeing that they were no match, they fled one after another. Then Yang Wujiu allowed his thugs to wreak havoc. This person should be one of them."

"So, I should leave this person to you." Cheng Sanwu said.

"I just found out about it." Qin Wangshu took a deep breath and said, "I must kill Yang Wujiu. As for the others, it won't be too late to liquidate him slowly in the future."

"Don't worry, I will leave this guy's life to you." Cheng Sanwu said.

"Are you going to Hengyang now?" Qin Wangshu asked.

"Don't worry yet." Cheng Sanwu copied out the book of demon records, turned to the page with the winged monkey, and said to Mu Xiangling: "This monkey is next, lead the way."

"It is a mandrill in the Maling Mountains. It is not an ordinary ape." Mu Xiangling explained: "And its movement skills are extremely fast. It can even summon thunder, which is difficult to deal with."

"If it's easy to deal with, will you ask me for help?" Cheng Sanwu smiled disdainfully and turned to ask Qin Wangshu: "What do you plan to do with those slaves?"

"A few of them can still find their families, and they have been sent back." Qin Wangshu said with a solemn expression: "But most of the remaining ones are homeless. I plan to stay with me temporarily and do some rough labor. We will arrange it slowly later.”

"Okay, pack up and we're ready to go!"

……

In a quiet room in Zhurong Mansion, Hengyang, Yang Wujiu looked at Zhao Pi and Ma Lao lying on the bed. The doctor carefully removed the slough from their wounds, then stitched them to stop the bleeding and applied medicine and bandages.

After the effects of Ma Fei San passed away and the two of them woke up one after another, Yang Wujiu said, "Have you met Cheng Sanwu?"

Zhao Pi was stunned when he heard this: "Cheng Sanwu?"

Yang Wujiu picked up a picture of a human face. When Zhao Pi saw it, he exclaimed, "That's him! He killed Shi Pang first, and then he attacked us!"

"I didn't expect him to come back so soon." Yang Wujiu muttered to himself.

Only then did Zhao Pi realize that Yang Wujiu seemed to have predicted who they would meet at Lukou garrison, and he couldn't help but ask: "Father, do you know this person?"

"I've heard a little bit about it."

Yang Wujiu felt deeply that it was an unforeseen disaster. Although he learned the general situation from Wu Zhenren, he did not dare to reveal his identity as a minister to others, for fear that the news would be leaked and everyone would flee when they saw that the situation in Zhu Rong Mansion was not good.

Zhao Pi continued: "This Cheng Sanwu will come to Zhurong Mansion later, and he will also meet his adoptive father in person. I believe that this person has evil intentions, and he hurried back without having time to collect the bones of the burial stone."

Yang Wu Jiu was not angry or angry, he seemed to have known about this for a long time. This made Zhao Pi even more heartbroken. If the three of them went to Lukou garrison to deal with the matter, wouldn't it be a waste of their lives?

Even if he worshiped Yang Wujiu as his adoptive father, it was just to show his loyalty and service, but treating his subordinates as expendable materials that could be discarded at will still made Zhao Pi feel angry, and made him even more certain that Yang Wujiu and Zhu Rong Mansion were going to have a great time. A catastrophe!

"There is one more thing I want to report to my adoptive father." Zhao Pi thought about it again and said: "The woman who killed Yuan Tongtian may be the orphan of Anxing Village in Jiangling. Shi Pang seemed to recognize her origin, but he didn't have time to go into details. When he asked, he was killed by Cheng Sanwu."

"Anxing Village?" Yang Wujiu thought for a moment: "That was all many years ago. I didn't expect that there are still orphans alive today."

"Father, what should we do next?" Zhao Pi asked: "Cheng Sanwu and his group are coming in a menacing manner, and their words and deeds are like those of people in the government. I suspect that they are here for Zhu Rong Mansion!"

Of course Yang Wujiu knew it, and even knew that Cheng Sanwu's real target was Wu Zhenren behind him. The success or failure of the matter had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, he was more open-minded than others.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Yang Wu Jiu asked.

"First find out their origins, and contact the prefecture and county magistrates as soon as possible to stabilize them so as not to add insult to injury." Zhao Pi quickly said: "The other thing is the slave business in various places. It's best to stop it first, lest this group of people follow the clues and get into trouble. Pull deeper and deeper.”

Yang Wu Jiu nodded absently: "Well, I'll leave this matter to you."

After saying this, Yang Wu Jiu turned around and left, leaving two seriously injured people in the room.

Zhao Pi was about to speak but stopped when he heard Ma Lao's huffing and breathing and saw that he was blind and mute and had become a useless person, extremely miserable. Zhao Pi sighed helplessly: "Ma Lao's situation is not good right now. I see that Cheng Sanwu clearly wants to deal with Zhu Rong Mansion. My foster father seems to be indifferent to this... I'm afraid we have to find another way out."

Ma Lao was trembling, as if he was very angry, but was speechless due to the current situation. Zhao Pi called his servants to get paper and pen, and Ma Lao fumbled and wrote down a few lines.

"You want to call the troops to come to Zhurong Mansion?" Zhao Pi was surprised when he saw this: "Isn't this inappropriate? I'm afraid my foster father won't agree."

Mr. Ma slapped the table hard to show his displeasure.

"If you insist, then I will help you." Zhao Pi came up with a plan: "You are inconvenient now, give me a token, and I will help you contact people. As long as I can save Zhu Rong Mansion from danger, I can do it Fight with your life!"

Ma Lao nodded repeatedly and wrote several good words on the paper.

But Zhao Pi had no intention of being buried with Zhu Rong Mansion. After this incident and Yang Wujiu's indifference, he had decided to flee far away. It's just that it will take some time to transfer the goods.

Since Ma Lao is determined to fight Cheng Sanwu and the others to the end, Zhao Pi doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire and just let these idiots die together!
