Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 214 The Demonic Blade's Demonic Nature, the Blade Points at the Godfather

"I'm going to take her away today. Who dares to stop me?"

Gui Hai Yi Dao's gaze was cold, his black demonic blade held horizontally in front of him, showing no fear even when facing countless experts.

He uttered a low growl, like muffled thunder.

He exudes heroic spirit—it would be even better if he weren't holding someone else's fiancée's hand.

An old man shouted, "Young man, I don't care what your reasons are, this is not a place for you to run wild. Release Miss Shangguan immediately!"

This was a former Second-Grandmaster who roamed the martial arts world. Later, as he grew old, he retired from the martial arts world, but through time, he honed his skills and reached the level of a Third-Grandmaster.

Duan Tianya quickly advised, "Yidao, no matter what happens, please deal with it rationally."

Guihai Yidao ignored him, brandishing his demonic blade and shouting, "Get out of my way!"

With that, terrifying blade energy coiled around the demonic blade and slashed down directly.

Duan Tianya attended the wedding banquet without any weapons on him.

Fortunately, Guihai Yidao didn't intend to kill him.

As the powerful blade fell, it transformed into a soft yet powerful force, blasting Duan Tianya away.

The rest of the people were not worth Guihai Yidao's mercy.

With a slash of the black demonic blade, a strange spiritual power was unleashed.

Although the Three Blades of Avici is powerful enough, Guihai Yidao, who wielded this sword technique, was ultimately only a Grandmaster of the First Flower, so it was impossible for too many people to be affected.

At this moment, everyone in the hall was affected by the demonic blade, and a hellish illusion appeared before their eyes.

However, that's enough!
Although there were many grandmasters in the hall, the majority of them were innate martial artists.

Influenced by the demonic blade, it went berserk, attacking everything in its vicinity.

The entire hall immediately descended into chaos.

As for those grandmasters, even those at the second-level grandmaster level, although they wouldn't go mad, they were still forcibly controlled for a few moments by this hellish sword technique.

Taking advantage of the situation, Guihai Yidao led Shangguan Haitang out of the hall and outside.

"Don't even think about running away!"

The old man who had just been the Three Flowers Grandmaster shouted and immediately gave chase.

He condensed the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit, among which the flower of spirit was the power of the spirit, which just happened to block the influence of Guihai Yidao's three swords of the Avici Path.

With a flick of his wrist, Gui Haiyi's black demonic blade disintegrated into fragments, which flew behind him.

The sharp blade energy snaked like a snake, yet its power remained undiminished.

Although the old man was a Three-Flower Grandmaster, he was old and frail and could only exert the fighting power of a Two-Flower Grandmaster. Faced with this fierce slash, he was directly forced back several steps by the powerful blade energy.

Upon seeing the fragments, his eyes widened in disbelief: "This weapon... you are the Demon Blade Yi Jue!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall narrowed their eyes.

As Wan Sanqian proposed to marry Shangguan Haitang, in addition to Shangguan Haitang's identity as a woman disguised as a man being openly revealed in the Jianghu Monthly, her other secret identity was also circulating among many first- and second-tier forces in the Jianghu.

That was the adopted daughter of Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, and the 'Xuan' character spy, one of the four great secret agents of the Dragon Guard Manor.

It was only at this time that many people realized that the Dragon Guard Manor had actually nurtured several outstanding young talents.

The exposure of this information was also orchestrated secretly by the Dragon Guardian Manor.

After all, for Zhu Wushi, marrying off his adopted daughter was a way to more firmly bind Wan Sanqian to his side.

If the world doesn't know Shangguan Haitang's true identity, then what kind of bondage is it?
Now that the identity of the Xuan-character spy has been exposed, people in the martial arts world are naturally curious about who the other three spies are.

Through the underhanded actions of a certain anonymous member of the Eastern Depot, some powerful forces have already learned that the two secret agents, Heaven and Earth, are Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao, respectively.

Just now, Guihai Yidao appeared, and everyone heard Duan Tianya's shout as he squeezed in.

At that time, I had already vaguely guessed Guihai Yidao's identity.

Therefore, this can actually be considered a problem that arose within the Dragon Guard Manor.

Therefore, of the several Three Flower Grandmasters in the hall, only the old man with a very close relationship with the Wan family took the initiative to chase after them.

The others, however, had their doubts and simply watched from the sidelines, with no intention of taking action.

Guihai Yidao was thus able to step out of the hall with ease.

Outside the hall, countless guests had already blocked the way.

Although in terms of strength, few are like the Second and Third Flower Grandmasters in the hall, who are all Innate and First Flower Grandmasters, their numbers far surpass those in the hall.

They swarmed forward, completely blocking the way.

Guihai Yidao raised his demonic blade and unleashed the Avici Three Blades once more.

The spiritual power evolved into a terrifying demonic force that swept out, instantly driving most of the enemies in front of him into a frenzy. Without saying a word, they started fighting with their own people.

"What happened?"

Afei stood up and looked into the distance, full of curiosity.

The name "Little Li Flying Dagger" is renowned, and the nickname "Flying Swordsman" has become famous throughout the martial arts world in the past year.

Unfortunately, they were ultimately just independent workers and couldn't compare to those who were truly powerful.

Therefore, the seat was arranged in the middle of the entire mansion, dozens of meters away from the central hall.

Seeing the commotion over there, not only him, but also the guests from other tables around the table, all stood up curiously and looked into the distance.

"Is someone trying to steal the bride? Wait, is that the Demon Blade Thousand Blades?"

"what?"

Li Xunhuan couldn't help but stand up, and immediately saw Guihai Yidao dressed in black in the crowd.

"It is indeed him, Hall Master Yi. How did he end up here?"

"His demonic blade has become even more terrifying after a few months!"

Zhou Ming, standing beside him, couldn't help but shake his head.

The demonic blade is indeed more terrifying, but correspondingly, the consumption... especially the mental consumption, is much greater than before.

Guihai Yidao has been fighting since last night, and the power in his body has been completely exhausted.

He was still able to fight at this point entirely because there was someone behind him constantly supplying him with power.

“Using the Three Blades of Avici Hell to fight against this large group of enemies is indeed extremely effective, but with Guihai Yidao’s spiritual strength, I’m afraid he won’t be able to use it more often… Oh well, things have already developed to this point, so naturally we should give him more support. We can’t let him die here…”

When Guihai Yidao used the Avici Dao Three Slashes for the third time, everyone realized that something was wrong.

What kind of bizarre swordsmanship is this? It can actually trap dozens or even hundreds of people in a daze at once.

Currently, hundreds of martial artists have fallen victim to this.

The hundreds of people attacking each other in chaos are a spectacle that rivals even the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects.

Fortunately, people have also discovered that this effect is time-limited.

At this moment, the many innate martial artists who had gone mad in the hall had recovered.

Even so, no one dared to approach Guihai Yidao for the time being.

Having more people is useless.

And among the few strong ones... Gui Haiyi's demonic blade was indeed formidable.

With many powerful second- and third-tier Grandmasters from influential backgrounds hesitant to intervene, Guihai Yidao was completely unhindered for a time.

Leading Shangguan Haitang, step by step, it seemed they were about to leave the mansion.

But just then, a figure suddenly blocked their way.

He wore a long robe embroidered with gold patterns, had a square face, and exuded an imposing presence without being angry.

It was none other than the Iron-Blooded Marquis... Zhu Wushi!

Today is Shangguan Haitang's wedding day.

With both of Haitang's parents deceased, how could he, as her adoptive father, not be there?
"It was my fault for not noticing your thoughts before this!"

Zhu Wushi's gaze swept over Gui Haiyidao, and he said, "But before this, you had many years. After the news spread, you also had half a month. Why... did you have to choose today?!" His meaning was simple.

You should have said so earlier if you had this idea!

If this matter had been mentioned before Wan Sanqian proposed marriage, how could Zhu Wushi have ignored it?

Even after Wan Sanqian proposed marriage, as long as the wedding didn't take place, Zhu Wushi had ways to handle the matter.

Of all times, it had to wait until today, right now, for the wedding to take place!

This is the most inappropriate time!

"With one stroke, release Haitang and depart!"

Zhu ignored it.

The old man who was a master of the Three Flowers Sect also appeared beside them.

The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi also appeared behind Yidao at the same time.

Out of respect for Zhu Wushi, the five did not make a move immediately, but waited for Guihai Yidao's response.

Guihai Yidao's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say at that moment.

Is it true that Shangguan Haitang married Zhu Wushi with the intention of binding Wan Sanqian and supporting him?

Or should we directly reveal the close relationship between Wan Sanqian and the Dragon Guard Manor in front of everyone?

Although he had learned the truth, at this wrong time and place, he neither wanted Haitang to marry Wan Sanqian nor wanted to harm his godfather's interests.

For a moment, he couldn't utter a single word.

"I wonder if there are any intelligent people in this world who can explain everything in this situation..."

Guihai Yidao was neither a clever person nor good at speaking.

So he said nothing, but simply gripped the Demon Blade Thousand Blades tightly and held it horizontally in front of him.

"One knife!"

Haitang was extremely surprised.

Is he about to fight his godfather?!
"What an ungrateful wretch! I really want to make a move!"

The old man with the three flowers let out a low shout, unable to restrain himself, and took the initiative to attack.

Guihai Yidao immediately unleashed his demonic blade and began to kill.

The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi also made their move almost simultaneously, assisting the Three Flowers Elder in his battle against Guihai Yidao.

Zhu stood silently, making no move.

A look of sadness appeared in Shangguan Haitang's eyes as she couldn't help but recall what had happened that morning.

morning.

Before the sun had even risen, the No. 1 Manor under Heaven was already brightly lit.

Everyone helped the bride change into her wedding dress.

Duan Tianya and Liu Sheng Xiaoye watched from the sidelines, occasionally offering assistance.

Zhu Wushi finally appeared, and looking at Shangguan Haitang in her wedding dress, he couldn't help but reveal a fatherly compassion in his eyes.

"Godfather, elder brother, sister-in-law... Oh? Where are Yidao and Auntie?"

Shangguan Haitang greeted them with a smile, only to find that two people were missing.

"Maybe she's choosing what to wear today."

Duan Tianya laughed and then sent his servants to search for it.

Before long, the servant hurriedly returned, but only brought a letter.

"Yidao is gone? And this is the only letter in Aunt's room?"

Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but recall what had happened a few days ago. She sighed inwardly, then took the letter, opened it, and was immediately shocked.

"Godfather, something's wrong. Has something happened to Yidao?"

"What happened?"

"look!"

Zhu Wushi took the letter and read it, only to find that it detailed Guihai Yidao's cultivation of the Avici Dao Three Blades.

He hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Yidao already informed me about this matter, and the problem has already been resolved. It's just that Yidao is currently on a top-secret mission, and all relevant information has been completely blocked by me, so outsiders have no idea about it."

"is it?"

Shangguan Haitang immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

Even so, she kept this matter in mind, and even as the wedding ceremony approached, she still looked worried.

Until...now!
"The Three Slashes of Avici Hell, a sword technique as hellish as hell, can drive people mad, and... seemingly calm and normal, but actually even more terrifying..."

Shangguan Haitang thought to herself, "Yidao, have you been completely affected by this hellish swordsmanship without even realizing it?"

The demonic blade was disassembled, turning into fragments that were wrapped in blade energy and swung around.

Although the Three Blades of Avici are dangerous, the Three Flowers Grandmaster can almost ignore their mental effects.

Meanwhile, the four ghosts of Xiangxi, who had also cultivated the Phantom Divine Skill, were very weak in terms of attack power, but when they joined forces, they could almost withstand all attacks below the Grandmaster level.

No matter how fierce the blade is, they can absorb it.

The mental attack was ignored by the Three Flowers Grandmaster.

However, the powerful and sharp blade was blocked by the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan.

However, these two attacks are combined.

However, the Three Flowers Master and the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi are two completely different groups of people.

Each of them can defend against some of the attacks, but they are truly helpless against the others.

In just over ten moves, affected by the mental attack, the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi were the first to be defeated.

Without assistance, the old master, despite being at the Three Flowers realm, only possessed the strength of the Two Flowers realm. He was utterly unable to withstand Guihai Yidao's blade and was defeated in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Wushi watched the battle between the two sides, secretly pondering the Avici Three Blades, thinking to himself that it was indeed a hellish sword technique, truly extraordinary.

However, he had already figured out the key to it and could break it with a single move.

Raise your hand.

This legendary master, already considered one of the top experts in the martial arts world, has finally made his move.

An incredibly powerful inner energy swirled around his palm, emanating a wave that inspired awe.

This is nearly sixty years of immense inner energy.

With such a level of true energy, even without using any special techniques, it can unleash tremendous power!

"Ok?"

Amidst the crowd, Zhou Ming raised an eyebrow, sneering inwardly, "Heh, as expected, they were secretly hiding their strength!"

Zhu Wushi is really good at disguising himself. The amount of true energy he is showing at this moment is probably less than one-fifth of his true strength!
No wonder he scrutinized the situation for so long before making his move; he probably wanted to assess how much strength he needed to use to defeat Guihai Yidao without arousing suspicion.

Sixty years of internal energy, though somewhat excessive considering his age.

However, as a member of the royal family, he must have secretly consumed countless rare and precious herbs and elixirs to increase his true energy.

Therefore, it is normal for someone to possess sixty years of internal energy.

But if we change it to a hundred or two hundred years, then there will be big problems.

Such rare and precious natural treasures that can increase one's true energy by a hundred years do exist in this world, but they are probably extremely rare, the most top-tier treasures in the world.

Moreover, the quantity of true qi is one aspect, while its quality is another.

Some people cultivate inferior martial arts for a hundred years, but their true energy is not as good as ten years of superior martial arts!

The sixty years of true energy that Zhu Wushi was displaying at this moment was far more than just superior martial arts.
"However, with me here, how could I let you have your way? Even if I can't reveal your full strength, I'll at least make you expose a bit more of it!"
