He was already in a terrible situation, and now he's being attacked by Xu Long; it's like the word "misery" is written all over his face.
Completely disregarding Duan Tianya and Yagyu Tajima no Kami's weapons, Xu Long leaped into the fray and punched Yagyu Tajima no Kami in the face.
Bang!
The punch was so powerful that Yagyu Tajima no Kami's face twisted in pain.
Because of Xu Long's intervention, the situation where they were being suppressed was immediately reversed.
If it were a person with a sound mind, they would definitely seize the opportunity to attack when Yagyu Tajima no Kami makes a mistake, and then kill him.
Duan Tianya was clearly not quite right in the head; instead of attacking Yagyu Tajima no Kami, he slashed at Xu Long with his sword.
bite!
The long sword landed on Xu Long's shoulder, producing a crisp sound.
Xu Long turned to look at Duan Tianya, his heart filled with murderous intent.
This person is truly ungrateful. I helped him, and instead of being grateful, he attacked me.
I initially thought he was an important figure and didn't want to make things difficult for him. But since he's so foolish, Xu Long shouldn't be so ruthless.
Thinking of this, Xu Long's face hardened with murderous intent, and he kicked Duan Tianya.
This kick carried three parts anger, seven parts disdain, and the remaining ninety parts were pure killing intent.
Bang!
He kicked Duan Tianya's steel sword, bending it before it landed on his chest.
His sternum immediately broke, and bright red blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth.
"Big brother!"
Seeing Duan Tianya defeated in one move, Haitang immediately became anxious.
" Cheng Shifei, what exactly do you want?"
"What do I want to do? You should ask this idiot what he wants to do first!"
Xu Long sneered, "I kindly helped him attack that Japanese soldier, and instead of being grateful, he attacked me with that soldier. Despicable, shameless, treacherous, and vile. Are all the people in your Dragon Guardian Villa like this?"
"Don't make false accusations! My brother has his reasons!"
Haitang slammed her fist on the shoulder, but was interrupted by Xu Long before she could explain.
"I don't care what his difficulties are, you get far away from him right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Xu Long's eyes flashed with murderous intent; he was determined to kill Duan Tianya, and he would slaughter anyone who dared to stop him.
"You're welcome? How do you intend to be impolite?"
Just as Xu Long was about to make his move, a powerful voice came from afar.
Immediately afterwards, a figure landed in front of them.
" Iron Courage Divine Marquis Zhu Wushi!"
Upon seeing the person's appearance, Xu Long felt a sense of crisis.
He never expected that the Iron Courage Divine Marquis would come here in person.
"Heh, I spared your life out of kindness back then, but I never expected you to become a scourge. Fortunately, my Dragon Guardian Villa has the best intelligence network in the Number One Under Heaven. As soon as I learned that you had secretly come here, I rushed over immediately."
Iron Courage Divine Marquis stared at Xu Long, making no attempt to conceal his murderous intent.
Gu Santong's disciple deserves to die!
"Is that so? It seems your Dragon Guardian Villa's despicable and shameless nature is passed down from generation to generation!"
Xu Long sneered. This hypocrite truly has no sense of shame.
Ever since learning Cheng Shifei identity, Zhu Wushi has harbored murderous intent.
Later, he even slandered Cheng Shifei in front of his adopted son and daughter, and even tried to find an opportunity to kill him.
At this moment, he actually had the audacity to say something like "I'll spare your life," his shamelessness had truly reached an extreme.
"Shut up! You're asking for it!"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he instantly launched an attack.
"Good timing!"
Seeing this, Xu Long did not back down and threw a punch.
" Heavenly Dipper Virgin Boy Skill!"
Just as the two were about to start fighting, a high-pitched, hoarse voice entered their ears.
An invisible burst of energy descended from the sky and slammed heavily between Xu Long and Zhu Wushi.
" Zhu Wushi, I never expected that you, Great Ming the Ming Dynasty, would bully a child."
Cao Zhengchun's signature sinister smile appeared on his face, and his posture clearly indicated that he was on Xu Long's side.
Cao Zhengchun's main purpose was not to rescue Xu Long, but simply to annoy Zhu Wushi, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
For him, anything that Zhu Wushi disliked, he liked; anything that was detrimental to Zhu Wushi, he benefited.
Since Zhu Wushi has come to cause trouble for Xu Long, he will help Xu Long out.
If we could take this opportunity to win them over, that would be ideal.
" Cao Zhengchun, instead of protecting the Emperor in the capital, you've come here. Aren't you afraid of another assassination attempt?"
"With the palace guards, who in this world, besides the Divine Marquis, the Number One Under Heaven expert, could kill the Emperor?"
Cao Zhengchun gave a sinister laugh, his face full of mockery.
"Nonsense! Cao Zhengchun, do you really intend to be my enemy?"
Iron Courage Divine Marquis Zhu Wushi looked at Cao Zhengchun, his eyes gradually narrowing.
" Divine Marquis, it's not that I want to be your enemy, but you're bullying my subordinates. As an elder, I should at least protect them, otherwise who would be willing to work for me?"
Cao Zhengchun glanced at Xu Long and said in a sarcastic tone.
Xu Long was quick to understand; he knew that Cao Zhengchun was trying to win him over.
As long as there are enough benefits, Xu Long doesn't actually mind being someone else's subordinate.
Although the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art can counter the Energy Absorption Great Art, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis has absorbed the Internal Force of countless martial arts masters over the decades. No matter how much the martial arts can counter it, the Internal Force aspect will still suppress him completely.
Xu Long needs time; at the very least, he needs to obtain the Energy Absorption Great Art first.
In this critical situation, there is clearly no better option than to serve under Cao Zhengchun.
"Reporting to the Grand Coordinator, I have been ordered to come to the Giant Whale Gang. After a period of covert investigation, I have found that Elder Li Tianhao of the Giant Whale Gang and Yagyu Tajima no Kami, the head of the Yagyu Clan of Fusang Country, are highly suspicious. I speculate that they are not actually the real masterminds."
Xu Long's words were ambiguous, but they were interpreted differently by Iron Courage Divine Marquis and Cao Zhengchun.
Iron Courage Divine Marquis, with a guilty conscience, subtly shifted his expression, his killing intent growing even more intense.
Cao Zhengchun also connected this to Princess Lixiu and the Wuwan assassination attempt on the emperor, and his intuition told him that this matter might be related to the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
Even if it's unrelated, it doesn't matter; he'll be happy just to annoy Zhu Wushi.
"Well done! You'll be richly rewarded when you get back!"
Cao Zhengchun said something to Xu Long, then turned to Zhu Wushi, "This place has been taken over by the Eastern Depot, Divine Marquis, please return!"
"You think you can just take over like that? Do you not respect my Dragon Guardian Villa at all?"
Zhu Wushi snorted coldly, showing no intention of backing down.
Li Tianhao and Yagyu Tajima no Kami- no-kami must not fall into Cao Zhengchun's hands, otherwise, if the two of them confess, he will be wanted for treason.
Zhu Wushi, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis, has long coveted the throne. He cannot let such a small matter ruin all his years of planning.
