Murong Yunji is skilled in both martial arts and magic!
Many people in the industry know this, and they are all very clear that Murong Yunji's martial arts skills are not mediocre at all; they are extremely formidable.
How powerful is it?
Shen Lao'er knew very well that even without using any special techniques, there were very few people in Jiangnan who could fight his sister-in-law. Yuchi Feihong was quite famous, wasn't he?
But in his opinion, if Yuchi Feihong and his sister-in-law were to fight to the death, his sister-in-law would have a winning rate of over 70% even without using any special techniques. And he had never seen anyone in a hundred years force his sister-in-law to go all out!
boom!
Another loud bang echoed in the sky. The two great sorcerers of the Shen Family, who were close at hand, felt their souls become unstable and couldn't help but take a few steps back. Yuchi Feihong, born as a military general, had vigorous blood and energy. He got a little closer, but only dared to stay more than ten meters away.
He was certain that this was the limit; any closer and he would likely be caught in it.
As for the consequences of getting involved in this battle, Yuchi Feihong was well aware of his own limitations; he feared that even he would have difficulty escaping unscathed...
At that moment, all three of them had only one thought in their minds: Who was that person?
With the third collision, Murong Yunji, surrounded by azure light, was forced back for the third time, and only then could everyone clearly see the person who was fighting against her.
He was an incredibly handsome young man, truly incredibly handsome in the literal sense. Shen Yiyun had never seen anyone so good-looking in his two hundred years of life experience.
Her entire face was like a sculpture, flawless to the extreme.
The key is that aura, extremely heroic. The man's handsomeness and the warrior's bravery are almost perfectly Fusion, without a single flaw, and even give people a feeling of wanting to worship.
If I had to describe it... it was like a war god descended from the heavens!
"Man..." Murong Yunji's eyes burned with intense desire, as if she wanted to melt him. "What's your name?"
The valiant man, as heroic as a war god, slightly lowered his spear, his handsome face as cold as ice, his tone as sharp as icy iron. "I... am Chen Nezha, the Thunder Division God General of this land!"
As if in response to the man's words, the sky over Liuzhou suddenly erupted with lightning and thunder in broad daylight, and dark clouds gathered, as if divine punishment was about to descend!
The two members of the Shen Family looked up at the sky in horror. It wasn't that there were no techniques in this world that could change the weather, but this feeling of words becoming law was simply shattering their common sense.
"Mortals!" The valiant man pointed his spear, which resonated with the thunder brewing in the dark clouds. The majestic power of the heavens made the hairs on the bodies of the two members of the Shen Family, including Yuchi Feihong, stand on end!
"You have three breaths. If you do not leave Liuzhou, you will be killed!"
"A mortal?" Murong Yunji laughed. "Is he truly a god? Does that mean you showed mercy just now?"
Although she smiled radiantly, Murong Yunji's hands, hidden behind her back, trembled uncontrollably. The exchange had only lasted a few breaths, but her hands were now so numb that she could no longer hold her weapon firmly.
"One!"
"Man..." Murong Yunji said with a seductive look in her eyes, "You are the most powerful man I have ever seen in a hundred years, apart from the patriarch of the Shen Family. How about having a child with me?"
"Two!"
The man remained as cold as ice, completely unaffected by Murong Yunji's provocative words. As soon as he uttered those two words, an overwhelming killing intent erupted, engulfing all four people, including Shen Yiyun!
In an instant, all four of them turned pale with shock at the terrifying killing intent!
"Sister-in-law!!!"
Shen Yiyun disregarded her image and roared sharply.
"Cut..."
Murong Yunji's eyes were filled with resentment. "What an unromantic, blockheaded man!"
"Three!"
"Walk!!!"
With a sharp shout, Shen Yiyun grabbed Laojiu and turned around without hesitation to activate the spell and run. Yuchi Feihong also didn't hesitate at all, his muscles tensed, and he ran out of the city like an arrow.
The fastest to retreat was actually Murong Yunji, who loved to tease the man the most. Almost as soon as she uttered those three words, this eldest sister-in-law of the Shen Family had already retreated to the city gate!
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had retreated to the outskirts of the city in a sorry state. At this time, the leaders who had prepared to watch the show had not yet entered the city. They were all stunned to see the four of them fleeing in such a panic.
What's going on?
"Huff..." The Laojiu, being led by the Lao'er with one hand, was deathly pale, his face covered in cold sweat. Only after they left the city did he stiffly look at Shen Yiyun: "Second brother... just now..."
"Hmm..." Shen Lao'er's face was also pale, and his clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.
The moment the other party uttered those three words, the overwhelming killing intent was almost suffocating. As they fled, it felt as if millions of silver needles were pressing against every pore of their back. The feeling of being pricked by needles was a pressure that only their own ancestor had ever given them!
Who is that...?
"Let's go back to the ship first."
Yuchi Feihong paused for a moment before saying, "According to regulations, all soldiers are to be stationed at the dock."
After speaking, he turned to the bewildered Maozi and the others. "Please inform them that the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief Yuchi Feihong, is awaiting the Prefect's orders at the dock!"
Without waiting for the soldiers' reply, he waved and led all the soldiers away.
The Shen Family also followed in the group, showing no intention of turning back.
Although Shen Yiyan was completely bewildered by what he saw, he quickly followed. The other leaders, who were preparing to enter the city to watch the excitement, hesitated and looked at each other.
" Proprietor Ye..." The man with the mustache stroked his thick chin. "Are we still going in to take a look?"
The woman surnamed Ye chuckled and looked up at the thunderclouds covering Liuzhou. Although she didn't know what they were, the oppressive aura they exuded was truly terrifying...
"I think... we should wait a bit?"
Upon hearing this, the leaders nodded in agreement.

"Daddy, I'm so tired!"
As the dark clouds dissipated, inside the government office, the porcelain doll-like Nezha threw himself into Chen Qing's arms.
Chen Qing hugged it tightly, her eyes filled with heartache. Of course, she felt sorry not only for the Ghost Child, but also for the official seal that was clearly shrouded in black aura.
The four divisions of wind, thunder, earth, and fire are divine generals of the War God System, and the Power of Divine Investiture is extremely high. According to the rules, Chen Qing must at least control the military and political affairs of a province to be qualified for their conferment!
For example, being appointed as the Governor-General of Jiangnan by the current imperial court, or becoming a regional warlord who controls Jiangnan, is the only way to qualify for the title of Heavenly General of the four highest divisions of the War God System!
Chen Qing is naturally not qualified now; the reason he was granted the title is because he used a Borrowing Luck!
The so-called "Borrowing Luck" means making a promise to Heaven to borrow future fortune.
Since it's a loan, there must be interest. My partner's initial setup was really ruthless. Nine out of 13 were returned, and it was a temporary decree. Not only did the Power of Divine Investiture I had saved for a month disappear completely, but I also incurred a considerable debt.
The thought that the energy in the official seal is now negative reminds Chen Qing of the days when he used Huabei and Ant Credit Pay.
"Father, Nezha is hungry..." At this moment, Nezha still possessed divine power and had no interest in human flesh. Otherwise, with such physical exhaustion and hunger, the situation would probably not be one of filial piety between father and son.
"Good Nezha..." Chen Qing hurriedly called the cook who had already prepared the dishes. The table was full of meat, with the most filling braised pork knuckle. Nezha's eyes lit up, and he picked up a pork leg that was bigger than himself and started gnawing on it.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the food on the table was devoured in a flash.
" Nezha, just now..." Chen Qing was about to ask for details, but when he looked up, he found that Nezha, who had been eating voraciously just moments before, had somehow fallen headfirst into the meat plate and was fast asleep.
Seeing this, Chen Qing sighed, stepped forward, gently picked up the Ghost Child, and carefully wiped the oil stains off its face with a handkerchief.
This temporary conferment has certain side effects, and fortunately, the Ghost Child's energy and blood are strong enough to withstand it, but even so, it must have consumed a lot of energy, and it will probably need to sleep for several days to recover.
Chen Qing sighed. This kind of thing shouldn't be done too often, otherwise it would be a huge loss if it damaged her child's foundation.
Moreover, this use won't last for more than a few days. When negotiating with the Shen Family and Yuchi Feihong later, I need to be careful. Right now... I really only have a tiger's skin left...
" Laoda, Laoda!"
Zhou Haitao rushed to the courtyard and was stunned when he saw the table full of meat. "Damn it!" he thought. "They said the finances were tight, and he and the new accountant could only drink plain porridge and eat steamed buns, while I was feasting on meat and fish in the courtyard!"
It really is a dog...
"You're acting like an official," Chen Qing chuckled. "Like you've never eaten meat before. Come on, have a couple of pieces. Later, we'll put the rest on a plate and have Ma Erniang take it to the city gate to sell."
Zhou Haitao: "..."
"By the way, why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"
"Oh..." Zhou Haitao snapped out of his daze, his face immediately lighting up with excitement. "Sir, did you see what happened outside just now? It was absolutely thrilling... Let me tell you, it was just like something out of a storybook, it was truly..."
"Alright..." Chen Qing interrupted helplessly, feeling a pang of heartache whenever she thought about it, "Is that all?"
"Oh, no..." Zhou Haitao quickly got down to business. "The soldiers at the city gate have announced that General Yuchi Feihong has arrived and is waiting for your summons at the dock."
"Wait for me to summon him?" Chen Qing smiled upon hearing this, it seemed to be working well. Rumor had it that this Yuchi Feihong was arrogant and domineering, and even the Provincial Governor had sent a message to tell him not to compete with him for control of the city gates.
I was just having a headache about how to deal with this, when I unexpectedly ended up with the Shen Family.
That's really good.
"Send a message to him, instructing him to follow the rules: the soldiers should be stationed outside the city, and the general should remove his armor and weapons, and enter the city in his official robes!"
"This..." The fat man was stunned. He remembered how arrogant military officers were these days. Was this really a good thing?
"Go when I tell you to, and remember, be arrogant!"
"Alright, Laoda!"
Thank you for reading. I'm currently experiencing a reading slump, and there's another reader... I can't type the other reader's name.
Ahem, anyway, thank you both for pointing out the typos, thank you both!
