Chapter 331 Seizing the Army (Part 3)

The five generals of the short-selling army wisely bowed their heads, and even the guards outside their courtyard who were about to rush forward were stopped by them.

Why are you coming in?

The five generals, along with a dozen or so servants, amounted to no more than one grandmaster and four martial arts masters; the rest were just Iron Bone martial arts masters to make up the numbers.

It's obvious we can't win.

They have one Grandmaster and nine Steel-Dirty Martial Arts Masters, what's the point of fighting them?

This doesn't even include the several thousand soldiers under Vice General Qi's command.

Since there's no chance of winning, it's better not to even participate.

So what if I lower my head now?

Isn't there still Yan Nanxing?

Vice General Qi's real opponent was never them, but Yan Nanxing. All they had to do was stand obediently by the side of the final winner.

Regardless of who wins in the end, we still need to win them over.

Their personal guards are all extremely loyal; they could easily be given the rank of battalion commander or centurion in the army.

The five men were well aware that they couldn't control the overall situation, but they were always worth bribing.

Seeing that the five generals bowed their heads and did not call for the guards outside the courtyard to enter the hall, Vice General Qi smiled with satisfaction. His sharp gaze finally swept over Yan Nanxing, who was sitting at the last seat by the door.

"Nephew, what do you think?"

His words had a slightly sarcastic tone.

In terms of official rank, the two are of the same level; in terms of cultivation, Yan Nanxing is a grandmaster; his taking advantage of seniority is extremely impolite.

He clearly believed he had it all figured out and was certain of Yan Nanxing's success.

Once Yan Nanxing is settled, everything will be settled. Tonight, let's strike while the iron is hot and recruit the army.

By tomorrow morning at daybreak, the entire army in the city will be a unified force, all bearing the surname Qi.

At that time, he will be the ruler of Yidu Prefecture, and even the governor will have to be mindful of his feelings.

Yan Nanxing raised an eyebrow slightly and shook his head in a low voice.

"I don't think that will work—"

"You're lacking."

"Deputy General Qi, you're just a mere Steel-Dirty Grandmaster."

"If we can't even protect ourselves, how can we protect the entire city of Yidu?"

He spoke lightly and casually, and even had the leisure to take a sip of wine.

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Qi turned red in the face and flew into a rage. He slammed his hand on the table, causing the dishes and wine bottles to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.

"How dare you, you junior!"

The other party is using his cultivation level as an excuse to rub salt into his wounds!

"I have loyal and brave guards, my defenses are impregnable, and no one can get within ten steps of me!"

"Who says I can't protect myself?"

Yan Nanxing sneered and asked in return.

"Is that so?"

"With these unfamiliar guards around you?"

"You seized the army, but does that army belong to the Qi state or someone else?"

Deputy General Qi's expression froze. His hidden worries had been exposed, and he gave a cold laugh.

"Stubborn to the end!"

"Someone come here!"

"Deputy General Yan is drunk. Take him away to sober up!"

The old master of the Wu family was leading his men to capture Yan Nanxing.

Outside the pavilion.

One of Yan Nanxing's attendants suddenly moved.

His figure flashed swiftly, and like a ghost, he darted into the pavilion, lunging towards Vice General Qi.

Everyone could see it clearly.

The attendant, dressed in blue, with a pale face and a long beard, had an ordinary appearance and was a stranger to the group.

His body was surging with energy, clearly indicating that he was also a Grandmaster.

The Wu family master and the others were furious.

"How dare you, you coward!"

They turned around and abandoned Yan Nanxing, rushing towards the follower. With a clang, they drew their long swords.

The leading master, in particular, reached out from behind and pulled out two water-polished nine-section steel whips.

call!

The whip's force was fierce.

He slammed the object in front of him with all his might!

In order to establish his authority, he used all his strength to ensure that the visitor would die under his whip, so as to intimidate everyone in the hall.

The Wu family head has given an order.

Anyone who dares to obstruct this banquet tonight, even Governor Fang, will be beaten to death.

We must help Vice General Qi succeed in seizing the army.

Of course, after the matter is accomplished tomorrow, he will still have a poison pill in his pocket, which he will "persuade" Vice General Qi to take.

From then on, the army in this city would outwardly be surnamed Qi, but in reality, they would be surnamed Wu.

Since it concerned a major matter for the Wu family, he naturally attached great importance to it.

As the old master attacked with his whip, several other Wu family martial arts masters leaped to the side to surround and block the follower's retreat.

To everyone's surprise, the young attendant Yan Nanxing brought gave a cold laugh.

He raised his hands empty-handed, attempting to catch the steel whip with his bare hands!

The old master cursed inwardly, "They're courting death!"

His steel whip possesses the strength of several thousand kilograms, and even an enemy of equal rank would not be able to withstand it with bare hands.

Clang!

A loud bang!

He slammed his two steel whips into the other man's hands.

The old master felt as if he had bumped into a ball of cotton, unable to feel any force.

Looking at the young follower again, blue true energy flickered in his hands, and the sound of roaring waves could be faintly heard.

At the same time, his blood and qi surged, and he broke through to the next level in an instant.

"Grandmaster?"

The Wu family master screamed in agony, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Aside from the aristocratic families, wasn't Fu Liunian, the only Grandmaster in the provincial capital, injured? And Fu Liunian is an old man, so where did this other immortal come from?

No, there's another young grandmaster who just broke through.

However, a newly established Grandmaster should not stay at home to recuperate and stabilize his Qi field and Golden Core. The most taboo thing is to fight with others.

Otherwise, the Wu family wouldn't have urged Vice General Qi to take immediate action, for fear of unforeseen circumstances.

In a panic, he tried to let go and retreat.

Unexpectedly, the other party gripped the end of the whip tightly with both hands and suddenly pushed hard, causing a tremendous force to erupt from the steel whip.

The double whips, like two dragons emerging from the water, slammed into his chest, fast and ruthless.

The old master used the turtle-like shrinking technique to dodge, and in the blink of an eye, his body curled up into a ball, shrinking like a turtle, and he suddenly became shorter, thus avoiding the fatal blow.

However, he forgot that behind him was Deputy General Qi, who was still sitting at the dining table, waiting for them to show off their prowess.

Deputy General Qi hadn't reacted yet.

Two heavy steel whips were already upon them.

"ah----"

He hurriedly used his iron-bridge waist horse technique to lie flat and dodge backward, but he was still a beat too slow.

Amidst the clattering and breaking sounds.

Deputy General Qi screamed repeatedly as two steel whips grazed his head.

His iron helmet was smashed to pieces with a thud, his hair was blown away, and a large piece of his scalp was torn off.

Deputy General Qi screamed in pain.

He was screaming in pain.

Yang Silang took a step forward, using the Flaming Mountain Suppressing Seal to strike downwards with one hand and the Azure Wood Wildfire Palm to reach backwards with the other.

Only a grandmaster can unleash the true essence and essence of the Five Elements Fist.

He held the seal in his large hand, his palm swollen to the size of a fan, truly like a giant seal pressing down.

Yellow true energy shimmered around his palm, forming a cage-like shape, which had become a malevolent force.

After dodging using the tortoise-like body technique, the old master tried to escape using the snake-like body technique on the ground.

As a result, when Yang Silang struck down with his palm, he felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his head, and there was no way to avoid it.

He had no choice but to kneel down, straighten his body, and raise his palms to block.

boom!

He was shorter than before, having been slammed into the ground by Yang Silang, leaving a large crater in the blue brick floor.

Unfortunately, the Grandmaster's large palm was pressing down on his two palms, with a massive amount of true energy surging out from it. He struggled desperately but couldn't even move.

Yang Silang reached his other hand behind him and unleashed the Azure Wood Wildfire Palm, a burst of fiery red true energy erupting from his palm.

The martial arts masters felt as if a terrifying black hole was spinning in front of them, with immense suction force, and the swords in their hands were being dragged forward by the terrifying force.

The men's expressions changed, and they all let go.

Ding ding ding.

Yang Silang now held several steel knives in his left hand.

With the blessing of the Azure Wood Wildfire Palm, he simply kneaded the steel knife made of refined iron in his hand, and it became as soft as dough, turning into a pile of scrap iron in just a few moments.

The nine Wu family grandmasters' expressions changed, unsure whether to attack or defend.

Yang Silang loosened his grip, and the pile of iron lumps crashed heavily to the ground.

He flicked his five fingers in quick succession, his fingers capable of splitting mountains and shattering gold!

Golden wisps of energy shot out from his fingertips.

Nine martial arts masters, along with Vice General Qi, who was lying behind the table with blood streaming down his face and was about to get up, were all hit by a ball of energy.

These air masses blasted directly into their chest acupoints, specifically the Tanzhong acupoint.

The Tanzhong acupoint is an important node for the circulation of true qi. If this point is hit, one will be unable to circulate qi for a short period of time.

The men groaned, their faces turned pale, and they collapsed to the ground.

He was still conscious, but had little fighting ability left, and because of the injury to his Tanzhong acupoint, he couldn't even stand up.

Yang Silang used his other hand to continuously release his true energy, trapping the Wu family's grandmaster.

As his golden core spun in his dantian, another surge of true energy erupted.

Click!

The old master suffered broken arms, and the Niu Mao True Qi entered his body, sealing off all the major acupoints. He also fainted without uttering a sound.

This is the end.

The ten martial arts experts that Vice Minister Qi borrowed from the Wu family were all wiped out.

He fell to the ground, his face filled with disbelief and frustration. With a large chunk of his scalp torn off, he looked bloody and grotesque.

The five generals who had been observing from the sidelines in the hall were now gaping in astonishment.

I thought that Vice General Qi was well prepared.

Unexpectedly, Yan Nanxing had truly prepared a trump card.

Deputy General Qi struggled to look up at Yan Nanxing.

"Junior—"

He opened his mouth in anger.

An elderly attendant stood before Yan Nanxing, who wiped his face to reveal Fu Liunian's true appearance.

His blood and energy were burning fiercely, displaying the full power of a Grandmaster.

The five opportunistic generals beside him had already stood up and bowed to the governor.

"Master Fang."

"Since we are recommending talented individuals, we recommend General Yan Nanxing."

"He is young and promising, with outstanding martial arts skills and a mastery of military strategy."

"He is perfectly suited to be the commander-in-chief of the entire army. We will obey his orders without a word."

The five of them were very alert and immediately threw the ball.

"Grandmaster Fu —"

Deputy General Qi lay on the ground, his heart filled with bitterness.

He had also tried to win over Grandmaster Fu with generous gifts, but the other party gave a clear answer.

He was the Grandmaster of the Martial Arts Pagoda of Shun Kingdom, and his duty was to guard the Martial Arts Pagoda.

He neither understood nor got involved in important military affairs.

How could you agree not to get involved but instead meddle?

Yang Silang then wiped his face, revealing his true appearance.

Deputy General Qi turned pale and immediately understood.

That damned Yan Nan acted so quickly, he actually managed to bring out Yang Silang.

Didn't the Wu family say that they had just become Grandmasters and needed to stabilize their Qi field and Golden Core for a few days before they could go all out?

Yan Nanxing and Yang Silang are not playing by the rules.

He didn't know that Yang Silang's cultivation was permanent once it was established; since he had already reached the Golden Core stage, there was no need to consolidate it at all.

at this time.

The chief governor didn't even glance at Deputy General Qi on the ground, and laughed.

"Okay, okay!"

"Since everyone agrees, then it's settled!"

"Head south, from now on you will be the acting general. Before your godfather, General Hei, wakes up, you will temporarily command all the troops in the city and be responsible for the city's defense."

Yan Nanxing bowed respectfully.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

He stood up again, his eyes shining brightly, and he exuded an aura of authority.

Yan Nan walked up to Deputy General Qi and chuckled softly.

"Uncle Qi."

"I've told you before, your martial arts skills are lacking, and your self-defense capabilities are poor."

"Look at you, you're lying on the ground now!"

"Impregnable?" Yan Nanxing scoffed. "Ha—"

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Qi's face flushed crimson, and he coughed up blood, fainting from anger.
