Chapter 110 "All bodyguards, listen to my command! The chief bodyguard is hereby deposed! We swear..."

--

"You are the first to break my strings."

After a fierce battle, neither side gained an advantage; in fact, the young man managed to protect others from the attacks of the music while also preserving himself...

Kong Wu suffered repeated setbacks, and her face could no longer be described as "ugly".

"It's obvious how Shui Rong could be defeated by a little girl... So it was you." Kong Wu paused, then added, "It could only be you. Only Xiaoyaozi in this world has this ability."

The young man, who was usually playful and especially fond of beautiful women, was uncharacteristically cold. A cold glint flashed in his dark, phoenix-like eyes as he raised his hand and slashed down with his sword again!

Kong Wu hurriedly retreated with her zither, but still had a lock of her beautiful hair cut off.

She suddenly looked up, her beautiful face contorted with shock and anger!

Not only because her beautiful hair was shaved off, but also because—

"Your swordsmanship reminds me of an old friend. May I ask if you know one of the seven great assassins of my Demonic Sect... Qianfeng?"

The young man did not answer, or rather, he was not listening at all at that moment.

He pressed forward relentlessly. Although it was early spring, the sword wind whipped up thousands of feet of frost flowers, and the killing intent materialized and pressed straight at Kong Wu's face!

They were blinded by rage.

Kong Wu was repeatedly suppressed and forced to retreat. It seemed as if the Seven Sons of Lingxiao were getting to know Pei Xuan for the first time, and getting to know their Uncle Xiaoyaozi for the first time.

Wen Chengan and Gan Zishi looked at each other, both stunned.

Gazing at Pei Xuan's decisive and ruthless figure, he felt an overwhelming sense of longing and hope, and his blood was instantly ignited.

"...Oh no, we can't let him continue like this."

Wen Chengan and Gan Zishi were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked toward Chunyu Hun in the direction of the voice.

They remember this Mongolian youth.

Uncle Xiaoyaozi and this Mongolian youth rescued them from the martial arts arena that day.

For some reason, everyone else looked delighted at Kong Wu's setback, but the Mongolian youth's face was extremely grim.

He staggered to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth, and charged back into the battle!

However, they helped Kong Wu, Wenshan Zhenjun, and others to deal with Pei Xuan!

Wen Cheng'an and Gan Zishi were immediately enraged. They stepped forward using the Mysterious Step technique, grabbing Chunyu Hun from both sides, and said in unison:

"what you do!"

Chunyu Hun retorted, "If others can't recognize him, surely you can?!"

Wen Chengan and Gan Zishi paused slightly before noticing that Pei Xuan had a silver needle inserted into the back of his head.

Gan Zishi was stunned: "This is..."

Wen Cheng'an's expression immediately darkened: "Asura Needle."

Asura Needle.

The Heavenly Emperor Sakra governs the origin of all things, while the Asuras sit in their sacred halls.

The Asura Needle can break through the blockages in the meridians of the body in a short time, and bring internal energy to its maximum. It is something that only those with profound internal energy can withstand.

The "Shura Needle" is also called the "Four Watches Needle".

If the King of Hell decrees that you arrive at midnight, he will not allow you to arrive at the fourth watch.

The Asura Needle is inherently defying the heavens; a single needle requires ten years of lifespan.

At most three.

Three roots, and he died.

Gan Zishi was astonished, staring at the young man's grim back as he murmured, "My martial uncle..."

Chunyu Hun cursed angrily: "Damn it, now that he knows, why isn't he coming to help me!"

Gan Zishi and Wen Chengan immediately came to their senses and stepped forward to assist Chunyu Hun.

However, Pei Xuan and Kong Wu were both top-tier experts. In a fight between experts, the others couldn't even get close, and could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

At the eye of the storm, Kong Wu's expression changed several times:

"What exactly is your relationship with Qianfeng?!"

However, Pei Xuan said nothing, only launching a relentless attack. His phoenix eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost devoid of reason.

He's less like a minor deity and more like a demon from hell now.

Several times, he pushed Kong Wu into a dangerous situation, and the Frosty Sword was pointed at Kong Wu's throat!

The momentum was great, but Wen Chengan, Gan Zishi, and Chunyu Hun on the side were becoming increasingly anxious.

The Asura Needle technique is inherently defying the heavens, costing one's lifespan; the longer it is used, the greater the damage to the body. Gan Zishi gritted his teeth:

"If this continues, my martial uncle..."

Chunyu Hun suddenly had an idea: "Young brother, I'm sorry."

In the instant Gan Zishi was stunned, Chunyu Hun grabbed Gan Zishi and threw him at Pei Xuan and Kong Wu!

Gan Zishi: "!!!"

Wen Cheng'an: "...Junior Brother!"

Kong Wu was furious: "Even those who pride themselves on being righteous sects resort to sneak attacks!"

While dealing with Pei Xuan, Kong Wu freed one hand to reach into Gan Zishi's heart!

Seeing that Gan Zishi had no choice but to withdraw his sword, Pei Xuan grabbed Gan Zishi's collar to avoid Kong Wu's fatal blow.

Chunyu Hun and Wen Cheng'an exchanged a glance and simultaneously launched a powerful attack. Chunyu Hun grabbed Pei Xuan, while Wen Cheng'an pulled out the silver needle from the back of Pei Xuan's head at the same time!

The moment the silver needle was removed, Pei Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and the red mist in his eyes faded a little.

Kong Wu was stunned. She thought it was aimed at her, but she didn't expect that her own people were fighting each other.

He suddenly laughed: "What a mess! What are you two doing? Do you want to become my lovers? But..."

Kong Wu really took a good look at them, pointing her slender fingers at Wen Cheng'an and Gan Zishi: "These two young men are alright." She then pointed at Chunyu Hun with obvious disdain, "Such a rude barbarian, you're no good."

Chunyu Hun: "..."

However, Pei Xuan broke free from them.

Chunyu Hun: "Daoist Master, things have come to this point, there's no way to change anything. Let's go!"

Pei Xuan ignored him, wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his lips and taking out a second silver needle from his sleeve.

Chunyu Hun paused, he had always respected Xiaoyaozi, but now he hated his stubbornness and couldn't help but get angry, cursing:

"Daoist Master! Pei Xuan! I know you want to avenge Jiang Ling'er, but I also know you're not an impulsive person! Revenge is fine, but are you really going to risk your own life?!"

Pei Xuan had intended to hand the silver needles to Ma Qingmei, hoping to trouble her for help one more time. However, seeing her tearful appearance, she seemed terrified. He also realized that Chunyu Hun, Wen Cheng'an, and the other two were of no help anyway.

He had no choice but to do it himself.

Gan Zishi suddenly knelt down, his voice choked with emotion:

"Uncle-Master, I beg you... let's go... let's go!"

Pei Xuan paused in his motion to insert the needle.

At the same time, Wenshan Zhenjun led the Jin army to surround the crowd and the common people.

"Trying to run? None of you will escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Jin soldier's spear pierced through a child's chest.

The crowd erupted in fury.

Pei Xuan suddenly raised his eyes, his phoenix eyes bloodshot, and the silver needle he was about to drop was blocked by Yuan Wenkang.

"Thank you for your help, Xiaoyaozi. Leave the rest to us."

Yuan Wenkang issued a decree to the entire elite镖师 (bodyguard/escort team): "All镖师, heed my command! Abolish the chief镖师, swear to protect the people to the death, and live and die with Jinling!"

All the members of the镖门 (bodyguards' sect) responded in unison: "To live or die together!"

"To live or die together!"

"To live or die together!"

------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, beneath the ruins.

Jiang Ling'er opened her eyes with difficulty, only to be met with a strange man extending his hand, which resembled a dried orange peel, and a muffled voice that rolled through her ear canal like gravel.

"Brother Jiang..."

Even though Jiang Ling'er had traveled all over the country and seen a lot of the world, she couldn't help but scream when she saw this strange person who was neither human nor ghost. But the strange person screamed even more miserably than she did:

"Why is it a woman?!"
