Taking Office, Part 2

This move is the Breaking Limit Skill of the Jin Family's inherited martial art, the Golden Cicada Saber — Night Rolls Remaining Clouds.

As one of the few members of the Jin Family who is skilled in both literature and martial arts, Jin Yonghe was able to enter the position of Assistant Prefect of the Prefectural City before the age of fifty, which naturally shows that he has his own foundation and trump cards.

His exceptional Super Grade arts skills are his greatest advantage.

Moreover, as a powerful figure in the Jin Family, he can rely on more than just himself. Just then, a person silently landed behind Zhang Rongfang.

The man, with flowing sleeves and dressed in white, quietly reached out with one hand to grab Zhang Rongfang's shoulder.

The two attacked from the front and the back simultaneously.

No matter what kind of enemy comes, it is impossible for them to escape unscathed from this move.

Unfortunately... pfft

Zhang Rongfang suddenly grabbed the wrist of the man in white behind him, a hint of boredom showing in his eyes beneath the mask.

Boom!!

With one hand, as if swinging a baton, he slammed the white-clad man behind him forward, sending him crashing down.

Amidst a tremendous crash.

The man in white, like a white stick, crashed hard into the Black Blade that Jin Yonghe had swung.

The blade made a sound as it sliced through flesh.

The two immediately tumbled to the ground, rolling like gourds.

"Both of these Super Grade, but they're just External Medicine?" Zhang Rongfang's voice was low and somewhat disappointed.

Having come from the hellish difficulty levels of Great Capital and Citong, this ordinary peaceful city no longer held any appeal for him.

However, his purpose in coming out this time was not to fight, but to represent Zhang Ying, to probe the situation, and to provide sufficient deterrence and suppression.

After all, one needs to be tactful and intelligent. That's quite a challenge.

He doesn't think he's really smart.

Therefore, the best way to gain the recognition of those around you is to leverage your strengths and advantages, making them understand that you are truly intelligent.

Zhang Rongfang's greatest skill is Snatching Chestnuts from the Fire and getting stubborn people to agree.

He ignored the two unconscious people on the ground. He turned around, took a step, and rushed towards Shangguan Zhi.

Tonight is a welcome-home banquet, so the two of them are staying temporarily in the Prefectural Office.

This made it convenient for him to investigate thoroughly.

Only by knowing the true nature and strengths of these two individuals can we better understand and manipulate them.

Of course, this is also why he has the confidence to do so.

After all, he believed that these two people could not possibly have a grandmaster protecting them.

Just as I stepped out of the room, a sudden burst of crossbow bolts hissed and rained down upon me.

Zhang Rongfang was prepared and grabbed a large piece of the wall to block his way.

With his current strength, making such a move is child's play.

Amidst the thuds of impacts, he braved the rain of crossbow bolts, his feet stomping heavily as he charged straight toward Shangguan Zhi.

At this moment, with his Blood Flesh Completion reaching 78, his strength, speed, recovery, and stamina have all received an exaggerated boost.

The physical prowess of the Worship God Grandmaster was truly demonstrated at this moment.

The Limit State was not used.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Four walls were smashed through in succession.

Breaking through the last wall, the stone wall in Zhang Rongfang's hand suddenly shattered, turning into countless raindrops that rained down from the sky.

Amidst the thuds of stones striking flesh, the crossbowmen around were caught completely off guard and were hit one after another.

The remaining stray crossbow bolts posed no threat to Zhang Rongfang. He spotted the movement with his Dark Light Vision, and with a light step, dodged them.

After breaking through several walls, he had now entered the courtyard where Shangguan Zhi was.

Unlike Jin Yonghe, Shangguan Zhi had already sensed something was wrong. He put on his gear and was leading his men out the door.

Unexpectedly, the wall on the left side suddenly exploded, smashed open, and people rushed in.

His face turned pale with fright, knowing something was wrong; this kind of imposing aura was completely unlike that of an ordinary martial artist.

The moment Zhang Rongfang entered, he ordered everyone to shoot arrows.

Unfortunately, all the crossbow bolts were blocked by the stone wall in Zhang Rongfang's hands.

"Uncle Lin!!" Upon seeing this, Shangguan Zhi knew that his worst fears had come true.

He suddenly shouted.

In order to deal with the Rebel Alliance Army, he, as the Prefect in charge of suppressing the uprising, was not as incompetent as Jin Yonghe- hwa.

He was surrounded by top-tier experts sent by his Lineage for protection! Suddenly, a figure flashed by.

A tall figure, also draped in a black cloak, swiftly descended from one side of the wall.

Shangguan Zhi a few steps back to the side of the figure, his cold gaze falling on Zhang Rongfang.

"Friend, do you want wealth or your life? Give me a straight answer. I am from the third branch of the Shangguan Family. If you want wealth, tell me the amount and we can become friends. It would be a matter of fate."

If it's a matter of life and death, you should know the strength of the Shangguan Family!

"I'm not after money, nor do I care about my life," Zhang Rongfang said, changing his voice. "I'm just passing by and thought I'd stop by for a look."

"What do you mean?!" Shangguan Zhi naturally didn't believe such an explanation. "Does Your Excellency know what you're doing? This is the Qingchuan Prefecture! Who is standing behind the entire Qingchuan Prefecture? I'm afraid Your Excellency doesn't understand the trouble you've caused?"

"Want to teach me a lesson?" Zhang Rongfang smiled, a hint of amusement showing in his eyes, which were the only part of his face visible.

"Unfortunately, you do not represent the Great Dao Sect. According to the rules of your Twelve Clan Estates, you should not just talk the talk."

He raised his hand and gestured towards the other person.

Tonight, he will establish his position and power with the force of a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Having reached this level of strength, if he still resorts to slow, calculating maneuvering and backstabbing, that's not cleverness, it's stupidity.

"How dare you!" Shangguan Zhi's eyes flashed with anger. Upon hearing the name of the Twelve Clan Estates, he immediately realized that this person was very likely connected to his sect.

The reputation of the Jade Void Palace won't intimidate them.

Since that's the case, we'll just have to go for it!

He made a quick decision and patted Uncle Lin beside him.

The two figures suddenly transformed into two afterimages, one on the left and one on the right, and instantly drew their swords.

Clang!

Two black blades of light transformed into black lines, simultaneously slashing towards Zhang Rongfang's waist and back.

The two simultaneously unleashed one of the top martial arts techniques of the Jade Void Palace of the Great Dao Sect— the Profound Jade Mirror Light.

This is the Shangguan Family's top-level martial art, which has been improved by generations of Lineage ancestors, especially by the current family head, Shangguan Feihe, and has now been upgraded to a peerless martial art.

The unique feature of the Profound Jade Mirror Light is that it can borrow the surrounding light at any time and place to interfere with the opponent's vision.

This results in a dazzling array of elaborate sword techniques.

Of course, simply utilizing light is not enough to elevate this martial art to the ranks of ultimate skills.

The greatest strength of this skill lies in its speed! You should know that when a person runs, others can usually see their silhouette.

However, if a person swings a long sword with all their might, very few people can see where the blade is.

Movement speed and burst attack speed are two completely different things.

The Profound Jade Mirror Light is the best among them. It can greatly amplify burst attack speed.

By combining speed and slowness, reality and illusion, light and darkness, an endless variety of knife techniques can be created.

This is the Profound Jade Mirror Light! At this moment, the two of them slashed at Zhang Rongfang from the left and right at the same time. In order to conceal their attacks, the Black Blade did not use the light to confuse the eyes, but the speed of their attacks really surprised Zhang Rongfang.

He let out a soft exclamation, took a step back, and just barely avoided the two blades that flashed across his chest.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" he exclaimed, retreating as he did so.

But the figure remained hovering just outside the blade's edge, seemingly only a hair's breadth away from touching it.

No matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't get past that tiny gap.

"Uncle Lin, don't hold back!" Shangguan Zhi finally turned serious.

The two took a step back, their bodies swelling and growing larger, veins bulging, skin turning black, and Silver Patterns appearing on their faces and foreheads.

Both of them were actually Spirit Vein.

"Kill!!"

The two took another step forward, their movements exploding with power.

This time, their speed and strength completely surpassed the previous level, directly reaching a new level.

The Limit State of the Profound Jade Mirror Light is to greatly increase movement speed and make up for its own shortcomings.

This martial art actually became truly powerful after the Worship God.

It can utilize the enhanced physical qualities and recovery ability gained after Worship God to unleash various ultimate killing Limit State.

While Worship God may not improve physical strength, it can improve and enhance martial arts skills.

The Mysterious Profound Jade Mirror Light is a powerful technique developed by many martial artists Worship God, designed to enhance their abilities.

At this moment, the two of them went all out, their two swords simultaneously circling around Zhang Rongfang and continuously slashing.

Zhang Rongfang casually parried and deflected the attacks with both hands, unconcerned about the outbursts from the two men.

Just now.

He could vaguely sense that a very powerful person had suddenly appeared nearby, hiding in the shadows and secretly observing him.

The other party's identity and background were unknown, but just by looking at him, the sheer strength of their powerful aura made him wary.

He was testing the waters and seeing what was going on; that was his purpose in making his move tonight.

In retrospect, it was definitely worth it.

As the main base of the Great Dao Sect, this place indeed has top experts residing nearby.

Zhang Rongfang noticed that the other party seemed completely unconcerned about his fight with Shangguan Zhi.

Instead, they focused more on his response.

They seemed quite interested in his martial arts style.

At this moment, on a pavilion a hundred meters away from the Prefectural Office.

A handsome man dressed in Blue Brocade Robe watched the fight taking place inside the Prefectural Office from afar.

"Interesting, truly interesting. The black mask that suddenly appeared actually uses many of the martial arts techniques of our sect."

The man stroked his meticulously trimmed goatee, lost in thought.

"Although this person's martial arts skills are clearly only at a mediocre level, and he hasn't fully mastered many aspects, he's probably only at the level of External Medicine. He hasn't even reached the level of Internal Method. But this guy's physical talent is strong enough that he can still gain an absolute advantage against two External Medicine."

The man was quite surprised by this.

He has been stationed in the Prefectural City for many years, not as a bodyguard for any particular family or clan, but to protect the safety of the entire Prefectural City.

Therefore, I have seen many masters and fought with many opponents.

But very few people are like that kid, whose strength and speed talents are abnormally strong.

"Ming Xiong, if you were to make a move, could you take down that kid in a few moves?" Na Zi turned around and looked at his friend who was quietly drinking in the small hall behind him.

"Two moves?" The man drinking had short white hair and a strong build. On the table beside him was a long, thin Silver Long Blade as thin as a willow leaf.

"I think it will take at least five moves," the handsome man said, shaking his head and stroking his beard with a smile.

"It can be guessed that this person is directly related to the newly appointed Magistrate Zhang Ying. This person's martial arts style is the Returning Spring Purifying Time Talisman Classic from the Heavenly Treasure Palace."

It seems this newly appointed Magistrate is trying to use his powerful connections to intimidate others.

"I heard this kid is quite a troublemaker, but it seems he has some tricks up his sleeve." The White-Haired Man stood up, sword in hand.

"But this is Qingchuan, not Citong, and certainly not Heavenly Treasure Palace. I'll go teach him a lesson and let him know that this is Yuxu Land, not Tianbao."
