This guy, too calm.
Dugu Wu had a grim expression as he monitored his surroundings, but saw no signs of ambush.
Hua Wushang’s comportnt was too collected, making Dugu Wu can’t help but grow suspicious.
"Dugu Wu, if I were you, I would honestly submit to execution. Otherwise, it is not worth it if by your re survival, you implicated everyone in Prince Shun’s Mansion. You wouldn’t want to see that either."
Hua Wushang smiled, causing Dugu Wu’s face to change abruptly.
"Hua Wushang, using the people of Prince Shun’s Mansion to threaten others, you are being shalessly low."
The Second Prince was so angry he wanted to curse loudly, considering Hua Wushang had always had a good reputation in the court and he was a civil servant, it was unexpected he would say such scheming words.
"Second Prince, I am rely acting on the Emperor’s orders."
Hua Wushang looked at Dugu Wu, and seeing Dugu Wu, who was always victorious on the battlefield, being at a disadvantage was indeed a refreshing sight. "Hua Wushang, do you really think I care about the lives of those people in Prince Shun’s Mansion."
Dugu Wu sneered coldly, his voice icy and ruthless.
"Caring or not caring, you’ll only know after trying, isn’t that right, Prince Wu?"
Hua Wushang’s gaze shifted to the street ahead, where he saw several people sprinting towards them.
Following Hua Wushang’s line of sight, the Second Prince and others including Dugu Wu looked in that direction.
Those people were all dressed in sturdy outfits and moved quickly, clearly trained in martial arts.
"They are rcenaries."
Even the Second Prince recognized the identity of those n.
Within Chu City, ordinary citizens are not allowed to carry weapons, only rcenaries can carry weapons in and out of Chu City by having official docunts.
The Capital Governor had previously reported that rcenaries had been entering Chu City from ti to ti.
During that ti, the Second Prince did not pay much attention, but he didn’t expect these rcenaries were actually under Hua Wushang’s command.
A sense of alarm went through Second Prince’s heart, earlier when Master Lu ntioned sothing, the Second Prince actually had so doubts.
Master Lu was from the Underworld Market, and people from there could be bribed for gain, he even suspected that Dugu Wu had bribed Master Lu.
But now it seed that Hua Wushang truly had it planned well in advance, otherwise how could these rcenaries be explained?
Especially...the Second Prince noted that the leader among these people was unmistakably not your ordinary person.
"Zhangsun Sheng."
Dugu Wu also recognized that man, and with a profound look at Hua Wushang, he didn’t expect that Hua Wushang even knew Zhangsun Sheng.
It suddenly occurred to him about Changsun Rou, who had betrayed him before Emperor Yongye, it must have been because of Hua Wushang’s sake.
This Hua Wushang, he was really underestimated.
Zhangsun Sheng, leading a group of rcenaries, approached, but there was an awkwardness on his face.
Hua Wushang also didn’t expect Zhangsun Sheng to co empty-handed, he had tasked Zhangsun Sheng earlier to take people from Prince Shun’s Mansion to intimidate Dugu Wu.
"Brother Hua, the people from Prince Shun’s Mansion are gone, the whole family has disappeared without a trace."
Zhangsun Sheng cautiously stated.
"What?" Hua Wushang was startled.
"Weren’t you watching them since yesterday?"
Since Dugu Wu was captured, Hua Wushang had people carefully monitoring Prince Shun’s Mansion.
To prevent Feng Bailing from taking drastic actions, he had even drugged Feng Bailing and others, thinking that this would be foolproof, but unexpectedly, so many living persons had escaped.
"Although that’s true, we’ve been watching them closely. Except for those two brothers, we watched everyone else, they definitely didn’t escape. But strangely, those people just disappeared."
Zhangsun Sheng also found it absurd.
So many living people, all drugged into unconsciousness, had simply vanished.
He had no idea that the people of Prince Shun’s Mansion had secretly moved Feng Bailing into the dical Cabin.
"Could it have been the dical Buddha who made a move?"
Zhangsun Sheng prided himself and his subordinates on their extraordinary abilities, yet soone had managed to evade them, and it was a whole family at that.
There was only one possibility; it must have been the enigmatic dical Buddha.
Hua Wushang’s face grew solemn.
Zhangsun Sheng was filled with remorse.
"However, Brother Hua, rest assured, with here, Dugu Wu is bound to die."
Saying that, he stood in front of Hua Wushang.
"It’s unexpected that the president of the Underworld Market would join forces with a re civil servant."
Dugu Wu glanced at Zhangsun Sheng.
"Dugu Wu, spare your words. You have repeatedly made an enemy of the Underworld Market and also wronged my daughter, Changsun Rou. Today, I will definitely behead you."
Zhangsun Sheng’s hands gathered Gang Qi, and under its influence, the blade in his hand shone brightly.
A golden character, ancient in style, erged on Zhangsun Sheng’s forehead.
Once the Wuji Golden Seal appeared, the Second Prince and his guards all gasped in shock, fully aware that Zhangsun Sheng, the president of the Underworld Market, had been famous for many years and had been in seclusion; unexpectedly, he truly had broken through to the Wuji Golden Seal.
"Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Zhangsun. It’s 11 a.m., the ti for the decisive strike."
Hua Wushang coldly shouted.
The blade in Zhangsun Sheng’s hand glead as he swung it toward Dugu Wu.
"Stop, stop him."
The Second Prince struggled internally but still resolved to save Dugu Wu.
However, the Second Prince and his guards were no match for Zhangsun Sheng.
The gleaming blade of Zhangsun Sheng, like sweeping through an empty realm, where it passed, blood sprayed wildly.
The Second Prince hadn’t even gotten close when the Gang Qi released from the blade forced him to retreat dozens of steps, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Dugu Wu stood there, his long hair disheveled, yet he faced Zhangsun Sheng undaunted and composed.
Everyone heard a buzzing sound as the blade turned into a streak of golden light, aiming for Dugu Wu’s neck.
Dugu Wu raised his hand, and the iron chains that had bound his arms earlier fell into his hands, whipping towards Zhangsun Sheng like a long snake.
A clang of tal against tal rang out as the chains, forged from Heavenly Iron and accompanied by a wind of Gang Qi, forced Zhangsun Sheng to step back.
His blade was also made from Heavenly Iron, and so were the chains on Dugu Wu, clashing against each other, Zhangsun Sheng gained no advantage.
Zhangsun Sheng scoffed coldly, he hadn’t yet used his full strength, confident he could easily slay Dugu Wu, as he held the Wuji Golden Seal, a realm higher in cultivation than Dugu Wu.
Zhangsun Sheng swung his sword to kill again, but when the blade was just an inch away from Dugu Wu, it could not advance any further.
Zhangsun Sheng was shocked, for around Dugu Wu was a faint golden light, the Gang Qi acting like a shield, making it difficult for Zhangsun Sheng’s blade to harm him.
Seeing that golden light, Zhangsun Sheng realized sothing and looked towards Dugu Wu’s forehead as if seeing a ghost.
A golden Wuji Golden Seal shone on Dugu Wu’s forehead, instantly blinding Zhangsun Sheng.
Impossible, that ancient golden character seed to mock Zhangsun Sheng. Although both possessed the Wuji Golden Seal, Dugu Wu’s seal was significantly more dazzling.
This ant that Dugu Wu was not only a Wuji Golden Seal cultivator but also had a higher cultivation level than Zhangsun Sheng.
"You also possess the Wuji Golden Seal?"
As Zhangsun Sheng spoke, he saw Dugu Wu grab the Heavenly Weapon Long Sword from his hand, followed by a muffled sound.
The long sword, forged from Heavenly Iron, in Zhangsun Sheng’s hand was snapped in two by Dugu Wu barehanded.
The next mont, Dugu Wu, holding the broken half of the sword, beheaded Zhangsun Sheng as easily as slicing a waterlon.
