Liu Yangzheng spurred his horse to the front and asked Pei Xuanjing, “Dare I ask if you are Grandmaster Pei?”
Pei Xuanjing had already observed the hushed whispers of the group. Their concentration confirmed his identification of Zhu Chenhao as Ning King.
Despite having received an early portrait of Zhu Chenhao from Bai Xiaosheng, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t entirely sure of the identification until Liu Yangzheng started speaking.
Pei Xuanjing asked coldly, “Who are you?”
Despite Pei Xuanjing’s rudeness, Liu Yangzheng didn’t get angry, but saluted and said, “I am Liu Yangzheng, the military adviser to Ning King. What brings you here?”
He continued, “I heard that you have a misunderstanding with the people of the Underworld and Mire
Sect. As it happens, I have a relationship with both of them. Could you give me face and we…”
Liu Yangzheng and Zhu Chenhao inferred that Pei Xuanjing was here for the people of the
Underworld and Mire Sect. After all, there was no reason for him to target them personally.
Thus, to test Pei Xuanjing, he mentioned the Underworld and Mire Sect hoping to mislead him…
However, Pei Xuanjing curtly interrupted him before he could finish his statement, “Who the hell do you think you are, asking me to give you face?”
Swept with such a rude remark, the insincere smile on Liu Yangzhengs face was abruptly replaced with a cold and angry expression.
Since he joined Ning King, though he had no official position, the mere status of a staff officer to Ning King made many people welcome him with smile.
Even with some first-grade martial artists, he had often had a friendly chat, never having encountered someone as rude as Pei Xuanjing.
Before he could even get angry, he heard Pei Xuanjing’s cold voice, “I am here to take Zhu Chenhao’s life!”
Followed by the completion of the sentence, he pulled out his sword and pointed it directly at Liu Yangzheng.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing act so decisively, and feeling the biting sword Qi, Liu Yangzheng almost tasted death.
Believing in his strength like never before, he leapt from his horse, making desperate efforts to dodge Pei Xuanjing’s strike.
Here, second-class martial artist like him showcased an explosive power that could rival some first-grade martial artists.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
In the face of Pei Xuanjing’s sword, no matter how he twisted and dodged, he was inevitably struck with the sense that he was locked in and there was nowhere to hide.
With a swoosh!
Countless blades of light pierced through him, leaving countless holes in his body. His muscles shattered, and blood gushed from his mouth.
His eyes were filled with disbelief as he fell from a great height.
With his heart full of ambition, Liu Yangzheng never imagined that he would die here or die in such a way.
His goal was the demon monk Yao Guangxiao. He vowed to accomplish a great career.
He had thought that if one day he failed to assist Ning King in treason, he might die with Ning King in the chaos of the battlefield.
But he never imagined this kind of death.
He didn’t understand why Pei Xuanjing acted so decisively, without any warning or any sense of martial decency.
If Pei Xuanjing knew Liu Yangzheng’s last thoughts, he would have snorted with contempt.
Such are the rantings of wildly ambitious people. They aspire to disturb the world, so they must be prepared to face the awe of swords.
As for these people, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t be bothered to talk further, he didn’t feel they were worth his valuable breath.
“Military Adviser!”
Zhu Chenhao cried out in sorrow.
He hadn’t expected Liu Yangzheng to die so suddenly, killed by Pei Xuanjing with a single stroke.
Liu Yangzheng was his confidant, a friend.
For Zhu Chenhao, who had a strong ambition and wielded power, he may suspect many people, but that certainly didn’t include Liu Yangzheng, who had spent more than a decade with him.
Zhu Chenhao trusted Liu Yangzheng more than anyone else, even his wife and children.
“Be careful, my lord! ” One of the guards standing beside Zhu Chenhao warned as he noticed the grieving king.
In the meantime, after striking down Liu Yangzheng, Peiji Xuanjing did not hold back. He leaped forward, slayed the cavalrymen that blocked his way with several swift strikes, and moved swiftly toward Zhu Chenhao.
Clang!
Just as Pei Xuanjing’s sword was about to strike Zhu Chenhao, the four ordinary-looking horsemen beside him suddenly exploded with a powerful aura. They launched a joint offence, blocking Pei Xuanjing’s blow.
Pei Xuanjing wasn’t surprised that his blow wasn’t successful, it was within his expectations.
If Ning King Zhu Chenhao was able to amass such a large force, it would have been odd if he didn’t have any high-level fighters protecting him.
According to the information he received from Bai Xiaosheng, Ning King had four high-grade fighters serving and protecting him.
“Are you the four great fighters; The Wind, The Flower, The Snow, The Moon?” Instead of rushing into an attack, Pei Xuanjing surveyed the four fighters with a critical eye and calmly spoke.
The four main fighters under Ning King each wield a different weapon; a Imife, a sword, a spear, and a ring, respectively known as the Wind Knife, the Flower Sword, the Snow Spear, the Moon Ring.
Hence they were referred to as the Four Great Fighters: Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon by the Jianghu.
“Correct!” The knife-wielding Wind Knife replied coldly.
He said to Pei Xuanjing, “Pei Xuanjing, as long as we four are here today, you won’t be able to lay a finger on Ning King.”
The four of them were close siblings, and after years of camaraderie, their tacit understanding was absolute. They feared not even a powerful figure like Pei Xuanjing.
A smile crept onto Pei Xuanjing’s face, “Really? I doubt it?”
Snow Spear glanced at the devastated King, then turned to Pei Xuanjing, half-threateningly said, “If I were you, I’d leave now. Otherwise, prepare to lose your life here.”
If not for the worry about the king’s safety and the imminent arrival of reinforcements, they would never back down so easily.
Unfortunately for them, Pei Xuanjing didn’t care about their threats.
His smile vanished, replaced by a cold voice, “Zhu Chenhao is destined to die today, no one can save him, mark my words.”
As soon as his voice fell, Pei Xuanjing formed a giant palm with his five fingers, his True Qi gathering into a giant palm print, pressing down on them.
Giant Spirit Surpasses Mountains!
The might of one palm, was of a world-shattering scale.
“Bold!”
“Pei Xuanjing, you’re courting death!”
“Such a wild and arrogant beast, we must join hands…”
“Kill him!”
Pei Xuanjing’s palm encapsulated all, including King Chujiang and the elder of the Mire Sect.
Having previously met Chujiang King in Xuanfu City through Qian Ning, the Brocade Guards Commander, he was vaguely suspicious of the man.
Seeing him now by Zhu Chenhao’s side, and recalling Bai Xiaosheng•s information about the Underworld’s involvement, he made an educated guess about Chujiang King’s identity.
Watching Pei Xuanjing attack so recklessly, the four great fighters and Chujiang King jointly launched a counterattack without any hesitation.
Since Pei Xuanjing was insistent on not leaving, they needed to kill him as quickly as possible to avoid being attacked from both sides when the reinforcements arrived.
A flurry of knife light, sword aura, and spear intent blasted towards Pei Xuanjing’s giant palm..
