Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 507 Luo Tianxuan's Madness (6500 words)

The city of Dongling was quiet in the early morning.

Morning mist floats over the ancient city, and luxurious palaces and mansions appear and disappear in the mist. Occasionally, one can see the eaves or tall pavilions that protrude from the thick fog.

A fairyland in the clouds, this is probably what it is.

The sun had not yet risen; only a faint glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon. The world was at the boundary between black and white, gray and gloomy.

The Marquis of Champion's mansion was also shrouded in the morning mist, the damp vapor condensing into dewdrops that slowly rolled down the silver armor. The silver-armored guards remained steadfastly guarding the rooftops and the perimeter of the mansion, having not closed their eyes all night. Their eyes were somewhat red, but their bodies remained upright, their gazes sharp, protecting the bedroom like an iron barrel from beginning to end.

The general showed no signs of waking up.

It was also very quiet outside the Marquis's residence.

To the left of the Marquis's residence was a crossroads.

Thick fog settled on the road, obscuring almost everything on both sides of the stone path—trees, houses, and shadowy figures. Then a gust of wind swept through, dispersing the fog slightly, and suddenly figures appeared on the road.

These people were dressed in tight-fitting clothes, the fabric of which was pure white, without any other color mixed in. They blended almost completely with the surrounding mist, and when seen at first glance, they seemed like ghosts who had broken free from the shackles of the underworld and were walking in the human world.

If other ordinary people saw this, they might be terrified, thinking they had encountered a funeral procession early in the morning.

Her face was covered by white silk, with only her eyes exposed.

This kind of outfit is somewhat creepy.

Because the fog was so thick, their legs were almost invisible, and they looked as if they were floating in the clouds. Furthermore, their footsteps were completely silent, making them seem more like ghosts than humans.

call.

The morning breeze grew stronger.

The fog at the intersection was dispelled once again.

You can vaguely see that there are also some figures on the other two roads.

Clearly, the people on all three paths were planning something bad. Upon seeing figures on the other two paths, their bodies tensed instinctively, as if they were ready for a fight, and they even paused in their tracks. This eerie silence lasted for a few seconds before the three groups of people, as if by unspoken agreement, continued forward, finally meeting at the crossroads and stopping.

The distance is getting closer.

Finally, I could see things more clearly.

On one side was a group of burly men in black outfits, each with broad shoulders and thick waists, clearly skilled fighters with considerable strength.

The leader was nine feet tall, a veritable giant. Anyone who wanted to see him would have to look up. His arms were unusually long, almost reaching his knees, and his thick fingers gripped a bronze hammer tightly.

That copper hammer was the size of a head.

Even if it's hollow, it's probably still quite heavy.

A black tiger was embroidered on the chest of the black outfit.

On the other side was a group of men dressed in blue robes. Although they were not as burly as the other group, they gave off a much worse feeling. Their eyes were cunning and sinister, and they looked like scheming people.

The leader was a young scholar, about thirty years old, handsome, holding a folding fan, which he gently swayed, exuding elegance... Although it was still a thick fog at this early morning, the way he swayed the folding fan was somewhat incongruous.

The blue robe was woven with silver threads, which faintly outlined a dragon pattern.

The leader of the white-robed men's eyes flashed: "Black Tiger Gang, Azure Dragon Society?"

The two groups of people were clearly not expecting to encounter these white-robed men here, and their expressions were slightly strange: "White Tower?"

They were all big shots from the underworld of Dongling City, except for Ghost Cave, which had been destroyed by the Champion Marquis.

Black Tiger Gang, Green Dragon Society, Ghost Cave, White Building.

Judging from their names, Ghost Cave and White Tower seem more prestigious and powerful, but in reality, the difference in strength among the four underground forces is not that great. It's just that Ghost Cave and White Tower are more mysterious.

The Black Tiger Gang's main business is gambling dens. More than two-thirds of the gambling dens in the outer city of Dongling are under their control. These places are always lucrative, and it's impossible to maintain this business without sufficient strength. Their secondary business is lending money. Just when gamblers lose everything at the casino, they turn around and borrow from the casino—a one-stop service, practically perfect.

The Green Dragon Society, on the other hand, ran brothels.

In the vast city of Dongling, there are nearly a hundred brothels. Apart from Qunyu Garden, most of them have members of the Qinglong Society. Of course, the Qinglong Society is not just the kind of scoundrels who exploit the girls by taking their cut. While taking their share, the Qinglong Society also takes on the responsibility of protecting the girls. Whenever a customer causes trouble while drunk, or goes too far and the girls are beaten because they don't like it, it is the Qinglong Society that steps in to get justice for the girls.

In this regard, the Azure Dragon Society has an excellent reputation.

As long as the troublemakers aren't powerful figures in the imperial court that you can't afford to offend, even ordinary officials or sons of nobles will be dealt with by the Green Dragon Society. Of course, don't think that the Green Dragon Society is any kind of good person. After all, it's a gang, and they've certainly done their fair share of forcing women into prostitution. Some prostitutes who finally manage to save enough money to buy their freedom will have their money and money ruined by the Green Dragon Society.

Once you're a prostitute in a brothel under the Qinglong Society, you're a prostitute for life. There's no chance to escape it. Even when you're old and your beauty fades, you still have to do laundry and cleaning work in the brothel.

As for the Ghost Cave and the White Building.

The reason it has such a high-class feel is partly due to its name and partly due to its mystique.

The Ghost Cave, located in the underground ditch of the Eastern Tombs, is perpetually shrouded in darkness, naturally giving these people an eerie and sinister aura.

As for the business that Ghost Cave operated, it was trafficking women and children. They would kidnap and abduct women and boys and sell them to families in need, often earning a considerable sum of money. Women and children who could not be sold would have their limbs broken, be mutilated, and left to beg by the roadside.

Secondly, there's the business of kidnapping and extortion, with merchants and visiting caravans often being the primary targets. After all, merchants are wealthy and have low social status, making them easy prey... What's worse, Ghost Cave not only kidnaps people, but he also kills them to maintain secrecy after receiving the money, making him a very unethical type.

Finally, there's the business of assassins.

It can be said that among the four major underground forces, Ghost Cave is definitely the one with the widest reach, and at the same time, it is also the most cruel and inhumane.

As for the White Tower, it is purely an assassin organization.

You give me money, I give you my life, that's all.

However, the way the White Building killed people was somewhat ruthless.

There were rumors that the second son of a wealthy merchant, wanting to inherit the family fortune alone, hired Bai Lou to kill his older brother. Bai Lou then set fire to the merchant's entire mansion, burning the elder brother to death, but the second son who hired the killer also perished.

Even more shockingly, some concubines in wealthy households attempted to poison the legal wife in order to seize power. In response, Bai Lou directly poisoned the entire mansion, killing everyone from the head of the household to the servants. Even the concubine and her unborn child were poisoned to death.

Such ruthless methods of killing inspire fear, and it was precisely because of Bai Lou's madness that Ghost Cave's assassin business had the opportunity to rise... Of course, as long as the person they want to kill is not one of their own, they will most likely go after Bai Lou, after all, Bai Lou is truly ruthless and has an extremely high success rate.

During the New Year's festival, Champion Marquis Song Yan uprooted the Ghost Cave with ruthless methods. The Ghost Cave, which had dominated Dongling for nearly a century, was completely wiped out, leaving no survivors among its more than two thousand members, along with its protectors. After that, the Black Tiger Gang, the Azure Dragon Society, and the White Tower all lay low and behaved themselves for a while, unwilling to provoke this ruthless star at such a time. Several months after Song Yan's departure, the three major forces dared to resurface, but who would have thought that after only a few days of peace, this ruthless star, Song Yan, would reappear.

This is definitely not good news for them.

The eyes of the Azure Dragon Society leader, the Black Tiger Gang leader, and the White Tower Master crossed.

"Here for the Champion Marquis?" After a long silence, the president of the Azure Dragon Society finally spoke.

"Indeed." The owner of the White Tower nodded slightly.

"cooperate?"

"can."

After a brief exchange, the matter was settled.

Their target is Song Yan.

They were well aware of their situation; they were merely pawns in the hands of certain individuals. To those people, all that mattered was eliminating Song Yan; they didn't care about the methods used or who they collaborated with.

The three forces have merged into one.

The number of people suddenly increased.

In the thick fog, hundreds or even thousands of heads could be seen moving about indistinctly.

Before long, the tall mansion came into view.

The Azure Dragon Society, the Black Tiger Gang, and the White Tower did not send out their entire forces, but those who could be brought out to carry out such a mission must be the elite of the elite. With a scale of over a thousand people, this was definitely a formidable force. In the vast city of Dongling, apart from the Imperial Palace and the Fang family, probably no other residence could withstand such an impact.

Even so, they did not act rashly.

After all, according to the intelligence they had, a powerful army was stationed in the Marquis of Champion's mansion, and even though they outnumbered the enemy, they did not have the ability to attack the army.

According to what the people above said, Song Yan had two Grandmaster-level experts with him. It was only because the Grandmaster-level experts were away that they had the courage to attack the Marquis of Champion's mansion. Otherwise, even if they had a hundred times the courage, they would never dare to come here... Moreover, after this job, they would probably have to leave Dongling City.

The wrath of two grandmaster-level experts was something they could not bear.

They were positioned on the side of the Marquis's residence. Beyond the high wall, they could vaguely see the side rooms inside, as well as tree branches swaying in the thick fog.

"How do we do it?" the Black Tiger Gang leader asked in a deep, gruff voice.

He tried his best to lower his voice, but even so, the noise was still loud.

Beneath the white silk cloth, the White Tower Master's lips seemed to curve into a strange smile, and his eyes were filled with excitement: "Set it on fire."

"It's almost dawn. Those two grandmaster-level experts will probably return in another hour or two."

"We don't have much time to fight the Marquis of Champion's army."

If you happen to encounter two grandmasters returning during a battle, that would be incredibly unlucky.

"I've heard that this Marquis of Champion is most skilled in using fire attacks. Let him taste what it's like to be burned alive." The president of the Azure Dragon Society also curled up the corner of his mouth, and the excitement in his eyes was barely suppressed: "Hurry up, or we will miss our chance if we wait for those two grandmasters to return."

That was the Marquis of Champion who could slaughter Japanese pirates, suppress the Jurchens, and resist the Xiongnu.

A prominent figure in the entire Ningguo.

If they could kill them, it would be enough to make them famous.

As for how important Song Yan was to Ning Kingdom, or how many people he had protected, they didn't care... As people of the martial arts world, all they cared about was whether their reputation was good or bad.

The White Tower Master glanced back and gave a look. Soon, dozens of White Tower members stepped forward, each holding a torch soaked in grease. Clearly, before coming here, the White Tower Master had already planned to solve the problem with a single fire.

Even if you are the champion, so what? Water and fire are merciless and can still take your life.

Even if they were Silver Armor Guards, what could they do? With flames engulfing them, their armor would only be a deadly burden.

With a whoosh, the grease-covered torch ignited, flames leaping half a foot high, and plumes of black smoke began to billow in the air.

The owner of the White Pavilion had a smug smile in his eyes. He raised his arm, intending to throw the torch over the courtyard wall. But at that moment, the smile in his eyes suddenly froze, replaced by deep terror.

His body... couldn't move.

At some point, an invisible pressure, like a mountain, weighed down on the White Tower Master. Even though he was a ninth-rank martial artist, this terrifying pressure made it extremely difficult for him to even breathe. The white silk cloth covered his face, so his expression was not visible, but one could roughly guess how distorted his face was at this moment through his eyes.

What's happening here?
What on earth happened?

His body began to tremble, and the torch in his hand seemed to be suppressed by some invisible pressure, causing the flame to suddenly dim.

The next instant, a clear, cold voice slowly rang in the ears of the White Tower Master:

"Why... did you burn and kill my husband?"

hum.

Upon hearing this voice, the owner of the White Tower felt a shiver run through his body.

A person silently appeared behind him, and he didn't even notice.

What is the opponent's strength?
Grandmaster!

The moment those two words appeared, it was like a thunderbolt, suddenly exploding on his forehead, leaving his entire mind buzzing.

Moreover, the term "husband"... the person who came was Luo Tianxuan?
Damn it, didn't the people who sent them say that Grandmasters Luo Tianxuan and Hua Lianyue, and even Luo Tianyi, a ninth-rank martial artist, had all been summoned to the palace? How come they're here again?
The information is wrong?

The fear in the eyes of the White Tower Master had somehow turned into deep despair. Not to mention the White Tower Master, even the other White Tower members, or the Azure Dragon Guild Master and the Black Tiger Gang Leader, only noticed the slender, well-proportioned figure that had appeared in the crowd the moment the voice rang out.

The white skirt swayed gently on the ground.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet she was as cold as ice.

His dark eyes were somewhat empty, devoid of any emotion.

Despite the presence of hundreds or even thousands of people, not a single one noticed how this woman had appeared... And Luo Tianxuan didn't give them any time to react; a small, white hand had already landed on the head of the White Tower Master.

Want to kill her husband? Then die.

In the next instant, several fingers moved nimbly.

crunch.

Click.

Strange sounds of skin being torn apart, cervical vertebrae being twisted, and tendons being bursting pierced everyone's ears.

All that could be seen was that the head of the White Tower Master spun around his neck several times in an instant, and then Luo Tianxuan grabbed his hair and ripped it off.

Blood gushed from where the neck was severed.

That's a great head!

The headless corpse lost all support and collapsed to the ground with a thud, its limbs twitching.

Such a bizarre scene sent chills down everyone's spine. They even felt an urge to scream. The Lord of the White Tower was a ninth-rank martial artist! Was he really dead?
So sloppy?

Some drops of blood sprayed onto Luo Tianxuan's face, staining her fair complexion with crimson spots, giving her an eerie beauty.

She raised her head again, her gaze sweeping over the people around her, the coldness in her eyes growing stronger... These were all bastards who wanted to burn and kill her husband.

We absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip by.

Everyone is going to die!
Everyone is going to die!
Everyone is going to die!
The next instant, Luo Tianxuan lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her body rushed forward like a phantom. In the blink of an eye, she had already rushed in front of a member of the White Tower. She raised her fair hand and, before the member could react, her fingers slid across his throat.

She was not carrying a weapon.

But those beautifully manicured nails are the most deadly weapon.

laugh.

His throat was ripped open instantly, and a spurt of blood gushed out. He fell backward, face up.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed with his backhand and touched another person's forehead, blowing off their skull.

Luo Tianxuan's speed was simply too fast. It wasn't until two people died in succession that the rest of the experts reacted. The blood fueled their madness. As for those low-level martial artists, they didn't understand what a Grandmaster represented. They only knew that there were many people and strength.

Seeing their leader killed, many members of the White Tower were enraged and roared as they charged at Luo Tianxuan, creating a dense mass of enemies all around.

The first person rushed in front of Luo Tianxuan, raising his long sword high with the force of splitting a mountain. She did not move, but simply flipped her wrist, her fair hand faintly drawing a silver arc. Before the sword could fall, the energy transformed from her inner force had already burst out, and a bloody hole appeared on her forehead. The spurting blood beads stained her sleeves with red plum blossoms.

He then quickly clapped his left hand twice at his side.

bang bang.

The two figures had just rushed to Luo Tianxuan's side when their skulls were immediately smashed.

White robes stained with blood, a fleeting glimpse of a fleeting shadow.

He held nothing back; his attacks were deadly.

In a short time, the ground around Luo Tianxuan was covered with corpses.

Only at this moment did the remaining people realize that the woman in front of them was far stronger than they could handle. They instinctively stopped their forward charge and even prepared to retreat.

Even the Azure Dragon Guild Master and the Black Tiger Gang Leader are the same.

The moment the retreating movement occurred, Luo Tianxuan noticed it immediately. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and floated towards the Black Tiger Gang Leader, appearing in front of him in an instant. She raised her hand and pressed it against the Black Tiger Gang Leader's chest.

The Black Tiger Gang leader was terrified. He had no time to dodge and instinctively raised the copper hammer in his hand.

boom!
Click.

Although they are slender and long fingers, a single palm strike seems to carry immense force.

The copper hammer rebounded instantly, slamming heavily into the Black Tiger Gang leader's chest, breaking countless bones.

The Black Tiger Gang leader screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted. He used Luo Tianxuan's strength to retreat rapidly, while roaring, "Torch, throw it in the yard!"

Burn it.

Burn it.

I don't believe that once the entire Marquis's mansion is engulfed in flames, this woman will have much time left to care about herself.

Despite his burly physique, this man was quite clever. Facing a grandmaster like Luo Tianxuan, this might be his only chance of survival. Many others reacted quickly, shouting as they hurled their torches towards the Marquis of Champion's residence.

However, before the torches could even cross the courtyard wall...

call.

A gust of wind howled over the courtyard wall.

One by one, the torches flew back in an instant.

It landed on my body.

The flames quickly ignited the fabric covering their bodies.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……

A scream suddenly rang out, far more piercing than ever before.

One by one, the burning figures frantically ran east and west on the stone road, the pain of their skin being scorched by the flames stimulating their souls.

It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much.

Fingers frantically tried to tear off their clothes, but with a hissing sound, what they pulled off at the same time were often pieces of charred skin and flesh.

The firelight gradually dissipated the thick fog around them.

Only at this moment did the Black Tiger Gang Leader realize with surprise that a tall figure was standing right on the courtyard wall.

The torch flying back was this woman's masterpiece.

Another master-level expert from the Marquis of Champion's mansion—Hua Lianyue.

laugh!
"what……"

The sound of a sword being drawn was accompanied by a piercing scream.

Looking back, she saw a tall, slender figure appear on the path she had come from. A corpse lay before her, blood dripping from the tip of a sword. The wind swirled the fallen leaves and tossed her loose hair.

It’s over.

Even their escape route was blocked.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Black Tiger Gang leader felt a sharp pain in his heart as Luo Tianxuan's palm was pressed against his chest.

puff.

His heart was instantly shattered into pieces.

The bones, skin, and flesh were almost all ground into mincemeat.

A cloud of blood mist spurted from the back of his heart.

His tall body swayed and crashed heavily to the ground with a thud, splattering a large amount of blood.

Luo Tianyi blocked the exit, Hua Lianyue blocked the hospital wall, and Luo Tianxuan was like a female demon, killing her way through from behind. Her body was like a ghost, shuttling through the crowd. Every move and every pause took a life.

The screams of those on the verge of death, the crackling of burning flesh, and the thud of corpses falling to the ground combine to create the most despairing music in the world.

The leaping flames, billowing black smoke and thick fog, blood droplets flying everywhere, and severed limbs falling from mid-air create the most terrifying scene.

kill!

kill!

kill!

Luo Tianxuan showed no pity for those who wanted to burn her husband alive.

She vented and slaughtered with near-madness.

Wailing and pleading meant nothing to her.

Before anyone knew it, blood had already pooled into a river on the stone pavement.

The once wide road was now covered with corpses.

The sun rises from the other side of the mountain.

The thick fog finally dissipated, and all that could be seen was a crimson expanse.

Luo Tianxuan's body remained in the mud, her fingers still clutching a strand of hair, beneath which lay the head of the Azure Dragon Society's leader.

The severed head, which had been forcibly pulled off, gleamed with teeth-like marks at the break.

Looking down at the severed head in her hand, Luo Tianxuan realized that the Azure Dragon Society leader had died with some resentment, his eyes wide open as if he thought, "How could a ninth-rank martial artist like me die so easily?" Looking at the head, Luo Tianxuan's first thought was: "This is a good head, suitable for making a mound of skulls."

In front of the Marquis of Champion's mansion, there must be a mound of Jingguan (a type of mound of corpses), right?

Otherwise, some random cats and dogs that appear out of nowhere will always want to come and cause trouble. If there were a Jingguan (a mound of skulls), it would deter many people.

Blood slowly dripped down Luo Tianxuan's face, through her hair, and down her skirt.

They fell into the river of blood.

Puff, puff!
……

Dongling City.

outer city.

Qunyu Garden.

An elegant woman in a long purple dress gazed at the direction of the Marquis of Champion's mansion from a distance. Because of the distance, the view was not very clear, but one could vaguely see figures falling to the ground one after another.

"A bunch of trash."

The woman cursed under her breath.

The sharp pain in her waist made her beautiful face turn deathly pale.

After two consecutive failures, she had to leave.
