Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor

"Lord Wu Xiang, it seems you've offended quite a few people. Killing you is indeed not easy. You've always had Grandmasters protecting you, and even in the army, you've been protected by Celestial Realm Immortals. But this time, you have neither Grandmasters nor Immortals by your side. As for who I am—I'll tell you after you're dead."

Su Qingfeng released Zi Nu, took a few steps forward, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He hadn't expected to be assassinated in the Han Kingdom of the Eastern Continent, and felt that his luck had been really bad lately.

Since his time in Suzhou, assassins had been relentlessly trying to kill him. Although he had dealt with some enemies, new ones always emerged, which greatly annoyed Su Qingfeng.

"You're such a coward, do you think I wouldn't guess who you are even if you didn't tell me?" Upon hearing this, Shi Zhixuan looked at Su Qingfeng with a hint of curiosity: "Oh? Lord Wu Xiang, why don't you try to guess? I don't think you can guess right."

Su Qingfeng smiled at Shi Zhixuan. This assassin is so arrogant, isn't he afraid that a Grandmaster will come to his rescue later?

"Alright, then I'll make a guess. In the Song Dynasty, I offended the Murong family, but I have already destroyed them. I also had grudges with the Beggars' Sect and Dali, but the Beggars' Sect was unable to persuade a Grandmaster to travel to the Eastern Continent to deal with me, and Dali will soon be destroyed by my army, so they have no time to come and assassinate me."

"The Song Dynasty court would never dare to touch me now; they only hope that my army will not wage war against them. If they dare to assassinate me, they will face the danger of national annihilation—you were definitely not sent by the Song court."

"In the Sui Dynasty, I first offended the family of Song Que, the Heavenly Blade. But given Song Que's character, he wouldn't hire a Grandmaster to assassinate me, so you're not one of his people either."

"After that, I also incurred the wrath of Li Shimin, the second son of the Li clan, and even took several million taels of silver from him. However, the Li clan is currently busy vying for power and will not risk assassinating me at this time."

"Although I annihilated tens of thousands of troops and captured more than 100,000 of them, and took a lot of silver from Du Fuwei of the Jianghuai Army, he knows better than anyone that a Grandmaster can't kill me and would never ask someone to come."

"Then there's Xie Xiaofeng from the Xie family. The woman he admired became my wife, and he himself suffered at the hands of my friend, so he must hold a grudge. But if he wants to kill me, he will do it himself, not through a Grandmaster—and you weren't sent by him either."

The Cihang Jingzhai and Yin Kui Sect would never hire a Grandmaster to assassinate me. Although Zhu Yuyan often argues with me, she would never take my life, and would even protect me occasionally.

That old nun Fan Qinghui might want to kill me, but her henchman Ning Daoqi would never dare to lay a hand on me. And you're not one of Cihang Jingzhai's people either.

As for the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan and the Dugu family of Luoyang—although the Dugu family is searching for me everywhere in Luoyang, if they knew my identity, they would definitely not dare to cause any more trouble.

In the end, only Yang Xuyan remained. He was executed on my orders, and his master, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, shouldn't have acted in his place. However, Yang Xuyan's identity was special; he was the son of the former Sui Dynasty crown prince. Shi Zhixuan intended to use him, and my killing of Yang Xuyan would disrupt his plans. The mentally unstable Evil King would surely come to kill me.

Is my guess about the Evil King Shi Zhixuan correct?

Su Qingfeng was deeply shaken. He had been making deductions along the way, but he never expected that the person who came would be the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, let alone that the other party would be so persistent, chasing him all the way from the Great Sui Dynasty in the Southern Continent to the Han Kingdom in the Eastern Continent.

If it weren't for the presence of Shi Guanyin along the way, he would probably have died at the hands of Shi Zhixuan long ago.

Those in the hall who were unaware of Su Qingfeng's background all looked at him with strange eyes. No one had expected that Lord Wu Xiang would have provoked so many enemies, each more powerful than the last, even involving national forces.

Lord Wu Xiang has offended all sorts of powerful figures, from martial arts sects and aristocratic families to hidden factions and even the power of an entire nation. It's a miracle that he's still alive today.

Shi Zhixuan had not expected that among so many enemies, Wu Xiangjun would be able to accurately guess his identity. He even felt a touch of admiration, but unfortunately, the two were destined to be enemies, and his mind was made up to kill him this time, and he would not waver.

"Haha, Lord Wu Xiang, you are indeed extraordinary." Shi Zhixuan laughed. "With so many enemies, you still managed to guess it was me. I underestimated you. I originally thought you were just a gigolo who relied on women for protection, but I didn't expect you to actually have some ability."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingfeng's face darkened: "Shi Zhixuan, don't be so hurtful! When did I become someone who lives off a woman?"

"Isn't it?" Shi Zhixuan's expression was playful. "Which woman around you isn't stronger than you? You have many Grandmasters, even Great Grandmasters, and you've even befriended a Celestial Realm Immortal. Relying on women for protection like this, what else is it but being a gigolo?"

Shi Zhixuan had been following Su Qingfeng for a long time and knew all too well about his romantic luck—this Lord Wu Xiang was never short of beautiful women around him.

There were some things even he didn't know. For example, when Wu Xiangjun disappeared from Zilan Pavilion, he hadn't noticed where she went. If it weren't for Zi Nu, who was with Wu Xiangjun, he wouldn't have waited here for her to appear. The women here were all more or less connected to Wu Xiangjun, and Shi Zhixuan was even a little jealous of Wu Xiangjun's popularity with women—after all, none of the women around Wu Xiangjun were simple characters. Shi Zhixuan's own words left him somewhat speechless. Did that mean that if his women were stronger than him, he was a kept man?

Su Qingfeng didn't consider himself a man who relied on women for support. Although he occasionally received help from women, that didn't mean he was a gigolo.

Zi Nu pinched Su Qingfeng's waist hard. She knew Su Qingfeng had more than one woman, but this time, Evil King Shi Zhixuan's words clearly implied that Su Qingfeng had other women, which annoyed Zi Nu.

The girls behind her, including Nongyu, almost burst out laughing. They had all seen what Zinu was doing. However, after hearing the conversation, and looking at Su Qingfeng's dark face, they wondered to themselves: Could this Lord Wuxiang really be a gigolo?

Even if Lord Wu Xiang was indeed a gigolo, he would be the king of gigolos, and probably no one could compare to him in the future.

Wei Zhuang, Tian Ze, and Gai Nie merely twitched their lips slightly. None of them were lustful men, and after hearing the conversation between Wu Xiangjun and Shi Zhixuan, they couldn't help but glance at Wu Xiangjun.

They weren't sure if Shi Zhixuan was telling the truth, but they were somewhat impressed that Wu Xiangjun could get to know a woman who was a Grandmaster or even a Celestial Immortal.

King Ying Zheng of Qin also looked at Wu Xiangjun Su Qingfeng with curiosity. He didn't believe that Wu Xiangjun was someone who relied on women for a living—if Wu Xiangjun had no ability or means, why would those powerful women follow him?

Su Qingfeng grabbed Zi Nu's hand that was pinching him and said helplessly to Shi Zhixuan:

"Shi Zhixuan, you've had your fill of exhaustion, chasing me all the way from the Southern Continent to the Eastern Continent just to kill me. Now that I've discovered you, are you still not willing to give up?"

Shi Zhixuan glanced at Wei Zhuang, Tian Ze, and the others around him, and sneered:

"Give up? Why should I give up? Who here can stop me from killing you? These few grandmasters beside me?"

At this moment, a Netherworld Guardian entered and reported to Su Qingfeng:

"Your Majesty, several leaders of the Mohist and Agriculturalist schools are outside requesting an audience."

Su Qingfeng stroked her chin and casually gave the order:

"Let them in. It's lively enough here already, a few more people won't hurt."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shi Zhixuan laughed loudly:

"Lord Wu Xiang, now your nemesis has arrived. Aren't you afraid we'll join forces against you?"

Shi Zhixuan was puzzled—the Mohists and the Farmers were clearly enemies of Lord Wu Xiang, so why did he let them in without hesitation? Was he really not afraid that he would join forces with them to deal with him?

"So what if we join forces? Killing you all would be as easy as turning my hand, but I don't want to do it right now."

"Lord Wu Xiang, will you die if you don't spout empty boasts?"

"Shi Zhixuan, do you believe I can kill you without even lifting a finger?"

"Hahaha, with just these people around you? That woman at the Celestial Realm has already left. I don't believe you can kill me now."

"Laugh now, but you'll have your day to cry later."

Su Qingfeng was also getting anxious. Right now, there was truly no one around who could rival Shi Zhixuan. Yan Fei had returned to the Yin Yang School, and it was unknown when she would return; Shi Guanyin's whereabouts were unknown; and Jing Ni and Li Qiushui were neither on the Eastern Continent.

...Why is it that all I'm surrounded by are such capable women? Could it be that I've really become someone who relies on women?

Male friends like Lu Xiaofeng, whose cultivation level is only Grandmaster, are no match for Shi Zhixuan even here.

At this moment, Jing Ke and Tian Meng entered with several experts. They were shocked by the scene inside—they had not expected that a grandmaster would make a move against the person in charge of the Qin state.

The group realized they shouldn't have come in. If they had waited outside, they could have witnessed the outcome: the Grandmaster would surely have killed this Qin official. Now, by entering this place, they had only drawn themselves into the mess. If this man died before their eyes, would Qin ever let the Mohists and the Agriculturalists off the hook? Jing Ke and the others exchanged speechless glances.

Su Qingfeng looked at the Mo family and the peasant family members: "State your names."

"Jing Ke and Ban Gu of the Mohist School."

"Farmer Tian Meng, Situ Wanli, Tian Hu, Tian Zhong."

Su Qingfeng scanned the crowd, concluding that only Jing Ke and Tian Meng possessed any real strength; the rest were no threat. How dare they come in? Weren't they afraid of being attacked?

Especially Tian Meng—this man must die. Su Qingfeng would never let him leave alive. Even though Jing Ni was already with him, he still refused to let this treacherous fellow live, even if it meant offending the Farmer Clan.

"Your Majesty, General Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei of the Han Kingdom are currently outside requesting an audience."

"Let them in too. This place is getting more and more lively." Su Qingfeng turned to Shi Zhixuan, "Evil King, now that the Mo Clan and the Farmer Clan are all here, don't you take this opportunity to discuss joining forces to kill me?"

Su Qingfeng was pondering which other forces might arrive in Xinzheng City. Currently, members of the Mohist and Agricultural Schools had already gathered there, and Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei were also expected to arrive soon.

On my side, there's Wei Zhuang from Quicksand, Tian Ze from Baiyue, King Qin and Gai Nie from Qin, and the three treasure-stealing trio are also under guard—oh right, and there's also that evil king Shi Zhixuan who always likes to hide in the shadows.

Shi Zhixuan glanced at the Mohists and the Farmers, finding it all rather amusing. Two early-stage Grandmasters leading a group of Innate Realm cultivators dared to barge in? Weren't they afraid of being dealt with by the treacherous Wu Xiangjun? He had no intention of joining forces with the Mohists and the Farmers; he considered them too weak, easily defeated even by Wu Xiangjun's guards, utterly unworthy of cooperation. "Wu Xiangjun, even without joining forces with them, I can still kill you."
