Chapter 69 Suppressing the Four Demons of Western Hunan!
"Haitang...you...me..."
Wan Sanqian kept shaking his head and retreating. Under Shangguan Haitang's constant questioning, he lost his composure and was on the verge of collapse.
"That's not how it is, Haitang, listen to me, I...I..."
Wan Sanqian was about to explain when Shangguan Haitang forcefully interrupted him: "You traitorous scoundrel, what else do you have to say?"
"Why aren't you surrendering immediately?!"
At this moment, Wan Sanqian was heartbroken and in unbearable pain.
He could never understand why, despite pursuing Shangguan Haitang for so many years, pouring his heart out to her, and being completely obedient to her, she still treated him with indifference.
Shangguan Haitang had only met Zhu Houzhao a few times, yet she was already devoted to him and even went so far as to turn against him with swords for his sake.
"Hehe...hahaha...hahahaha..."
Wan Sanqian suddenly burst into a miserable laugh, the laughter shrill and mad.
"Shangguan Haitang, I've loved you with all my heart for so many years, and now you're willing to turn against me for another man?"
"Shangguan Haitang, you have no heart!"
Shangguan Haitang kept a straight face, completely disregarding Wan Sanqian's self-pity.
"Stubborn to the end!"
Zhu ignored the pointless words and attacked without hesitation.
He charged towards Wan Sanqian, while the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, dutifully performing their duties, combined their strength to attack Zhu Wushi alone!
"Be careful, Divine Marquis! These four people's techniques are very strange!"
Upon seeing this, Shen Lian, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, quickly spoke up to remind him.
Meanwhile, Zhu Wushi's confrontation with the Four Devils of Xiangxi ended in a swift separation.
The four worked together seamlessly, and after a brief exchange, they seized the opportunity to capture Zhu Wushi's hands and feet.
Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun and the others were about to help when they saw Zhu Wushi's outer garment explode and he calmly escaped.
"The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, their ability to neutralize internal force when they work together is truly unparalleled in the martial arts world."
"Unfortunately, it was a huge mistake for you to go to Qingcheng Mountain to teach the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Phantom Divine Skill."
Zhu Wushi gave a cold laugh: "You taught them, which means you taught me!"
Zhu Wushi had barely finished speaking when, before they could react, he immediately launched another lightning attack on the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi.
Just as the four ghosts of Xiangxi were about to defend themselves, Zhu Wushi's hands suddenly unleashed an unparalleled and powerful suction force.
Their bodies were uncontrollably drawn towards Zhu Wushi's hands.
Zhu Wushi grabbed two heads with one hand and used his power with both hands at the same time to frantically absorb the internal energy of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi.
"The Great Absorption Technique!"
Wan Sanqian recognized the martial arts Zhu Wushi was using and his eyes widened in shock.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
A series of piercing screams emanated from the throats of the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan.
They struggled painfully under Zhu's indifferent hands.
The four scoundrels of western Hunan, who had left the leaders of the two factories, the guardhouse, and the gate helpless, were now instantly at their mercy.
This caused Cao Zhengchun and the others, who were about to lend a helping hand, to stop in shock and stare at Zhu Wushi in disbelief.
"All of you, die!"
Zhu Wushi shouted sharply, then threw the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi towards Wan Sanqian with both hands.
Wan Sanqian retreated repeatedly. When the four ghosts of Xiangxi landed in front of him, they were already bleeding from all seven orifices and died on the spot.
With a single move, the Iron-Blooded Marquis directly killed the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, whom Wan Sanqian relied on. Such astonishing strength made Cao Zhengchun and others deeply wary.
After Zhu Wushi annihilated the Four Devils of Xiangxi, he calmly gave orders with his hands behind his back.
"Capture Wan Sanqian, and kill everyone in the Number One Manor under Heaven, without exception!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhu ignored the figures behind him, including the Heaven and Earth, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and immediately loudly accepted the order.
Zhu Wushi turned his head, but his gaze fell on Shangguan Haitang.
Without any hesitation, Shangguan Haitang immediately stepped forward with Duan Tianya, Gui Haiyidao, and Cheng Shifei to capture Wan Sanqian.
Shangguan Haitang took matters into her own hands, and Wan Sanqian, his heart as cold as ashes, did not struggle at all before being shackled by Shangguan Haitang.
"Take him to the capital and hand him over to His Majesty for disposal!"
"yes!"
The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi were killed and Wan Sanqian was captured. Upon witnessing this scene, the retainers of the Number One Manor in the World were filled with boundless fear.
Many people have already begun to consider quitting.
But now, they are trapped like turtles in a jar, unable to escape!
The Eastern Depot, the Western Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Six Doors, the Imperial Secret Agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends...
Countless imperial henchmen attacked and killed the retainers of the number one manor in the land.
Even if the number one manor in the world claims to have three thousand retainers, destroying them would only take the blink of an eye.
Inside the number one manor in the world, blood splattered and screams echoed, resembling a living hell.
However, the leaders of the major intelligence agencies under the imperial power remained calm and composed, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
"I've long heard of Iron-Blooded Marquis's unparalleled martial arts skills, and now that I've seen him, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."
"With a single move, he killed the Four Devils of Western Hunan on the spot, making us all ashamed."
Zhuge Zhengwo walked up to Zhu Wushi, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said in a flattering tone.
Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, and Shen Lian also walked towards Zhu Wushi and greeted him.
Since Zhu Wushi has appeared at the number one manor in the world, and has killed the four ghosts of Xiangxi and captured Wan Sanqian.
That proves that Zhu Wushi's attitude was still loyal to Zhu Houzhao.
Since that's the case, there's no need for them to continue being hostile towards Zhu Wushi.
Zhu Wushi also cupped his hands in return: "You flatter me. The Phantom Divine Skill of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi is unparalleled in the martial arts world. The reason I was able to kill them so easily is because I took a clever trick."
Zhu Wushi explained, "The Phantom Divine Skill of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi is the number one defensive martial art in the world. When the four of them work together, they are almost invincible. Its only nemesis is the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill."
"But Wan Sanqian had close ties with me before. I once asked Wan Sanqian to have the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi teach the Phantom Shadow Divine Skill to my Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals."
"Although the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals failed to learn the Phantom Divine Skill, they have already learned the details and weaknesses of this divine skill."
"It was precisely because I knew the details of the Phantom Divine Skill that I was able to easily kill these four treacherous rebels."
Zhu Wushi never mentioned his own Absorption Technique, but instead attributed the credit to his mastery of the complete Phantom Divine Skill.
Everyone suddenly realized that Zhu Wushi was able to kill the Four Devils of Xiangxi because of a clever trick.
Zhu Wushi's actual strength was not as exaggerated as they thought.
After exchanging pleasantries, Cao Zhengchun excused himself and took out two secret letters behind everyone's backs. He burned one of them and handed the other to Pi Xiaotian.
"Chief, return to the capital immediately and deliver this secret letter to His Majesty. Be quick!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Pi Xiaotian accepted the letter and immediately selected several agents from the Eastern Depot to accompany him on a swift journey to the capital!
