Su Qingfeng called out to him with a smile.

Du Fuwei, do you think you can get away with this? Or do you think that even if you can't kill me, you can still leave safely?

Du Fuwei's face darkened. Xie Xiaofeng and Shangguan Jin Hong were already gone; killing Su Qingfeng now was impossible. "What do you want?"

Su Qingfeng looked at the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan, then said to Hua Yuenü and Hua Xingnu of the Yihua Palace:

"Hua Yuenü, Hua Xingü, kill Yang Xuyan. Since he refuses to leave, let him stay here forever."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two men accepted the order and immediately attacked Yang Xuyan.

Watching two grandmasters deal with an assassin at the Innate Realm, Su Qingfeng knew that Yang Xuyan would have little chance of escape this time. If it weren't for Yang Xuyan's superior agility and the fear of his escape, Hua Yuenü alone would have been enough to take his life.

"Su Ming, take the guards and deal with Du Fuwei's bodyguards."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Ming drew his short sword and ordered, "Secret Guards, listen to my command! Slaughter all the guards here!"

"yes!"

"kill!"

Seeing Su Qingfeng order an attack on his guards, Du Fuwei drew his sword and charged at Su Qingfeng. Su Qingfeng, seeing this, felt somewhat helpless.

"Wait, Du Fuwei. We're both people of status, you don't intend to do it yourself, do you?"

"Does having a status preclude you from taking action?"

Du Fuwei brandished his sword, ready to strike. At this moment, the two armies were already facing each other, and a conflict was imminent.

"Of course. You're clearly not a nobleman—have you ever seen a nobleman personally engage in combat? If nobles had to fight themselves, what would be the point of having subordinates?"

"Hahaha, Lord Wu Xiang, you are also a master of the Innate Realm. Are you perhaps afraid to fight me?"

"I wouldn't stoop to fighting you. Since you're courting death, don't blame me."

"Lord Wu Xiang is doomed to die today!"

Du Fuwei slashed down with his broadsword, but Su Qingfeng smiled slightly and suddenly disappeared.

Du Fuwei was startled when the knife missed its target. Just as he was about to turn around to look for it, a chill suddenly swept over him from behind.

boom!

Boom!

Su Qingfeng grabbed a brick and smashed it heavily on the back of Du Fuwei's head. Du Fuwei fell to the ground with a thud, and Su Qingfeng kicked him away.

Seeing Du Fuwei's battered and bruised appearance, Su Qingfeng laughed and said, "Du Fuwei, how does this invincible brick of mine taste?"

Du Fuwei wiped the blood from his face and roared, "Lord Wu Xiang, I swear I will kill you!" With that, he leaped onto a horse and galloped away.

Su Qingfeng was speechless for a moment. A grandmaster, yet he dared not fight him.

He hadn't intended to take Du Fuwei's life at this moment—otherwise, he would have used a sword instead of a brick.

If Du Fuwei were killed now, Jianghuai would inevitably be swallowed up by surrounding forces, which would not be in his interest. Su Qingfeng planned to squeeze Du Fuwei dry before eliminating him.

Watching Du Fuwei run off into the distance, Su Qingfeng shook his head and looked around. This time, he deliberately displayed his martial arts skills to intimidate those who secretly plotted against him. Ever since his association with women like Murong Qiudi, many desperate men had tried to harm him; in Yangzhou alone, Yanfei had already eliminated quite a few. Now that he had publicly demonstrated his strength, those fearless individuals should back down, otherwise Su Qingfeng wouldn't mind making their entire families disappear completely.

At this moment, Hua Yuenü and Hua Xingnu returned with the head of the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan and reported: "Your Majesty, this is Yang Xuyan's head."

"Really... you're all girls, why are you cutting off heads? From now on, just kill them and don't bring any more heads back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Qingfeng glanced at Yang Xuyan's head, feeling a pang of emotion. This prince of the Sui Dynasty would no longer have to live such a painful life.

He then thought of the Evil King Shi Zhixuan—if he knew his disciple had died at his hands, would he seek revenge? However, Su Qingfeng was not afraid of him; the current Shi Zhixuan was nothing more than a madman who had lost his mind.

After Su Ming and his guards dealt with Du Fuwei's bodyguards, Su Qingfeng led his men away. This place was ultimately unsafe; if they were surrounded by Du Fuwei's troops, although Su Qingfeng could escape with Hua Yuenü and Hua Xingnu in an instant, Su Ming and his men would inevitably be caught in a deadly battle.

Fan Qinghui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Qingfeng return. She had almost intervened to help him when she saw him confronting Du Fuwei, but Su Qingfeng had unexpectedly scared the other away. She also noticed that Su Qingfeng's movements were incredibly fast; she hadn't even seen how he dodged Du Fuwei's attacks.

"Your movement skills are quite good; you actually managed to scare away a grandmaster." Su Qingfeng walked up to Fan Qinghui, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Hmph, what do you know, you nun? Who's that person over there staring at you?"

"It is Song Que and his family from the Song Clan."

"Goodness, isn't that your old flame? Aren't you going to see her?"

Fan Qinghui grabbed Su Qingfeng by the collar and said angrily, "If you spout any more nonsense, I'll kill you, you bastard!"

Su Qingfeng turned and leaped onto Fan Qinghui's horse, embracing her from behind. She chuckled and said, "Don't move. I'm helping you. To make Song Que give up completely, you have to let him know that you have a new partner. Then he won't be able to forget you anymore."

Fan Qinghui was embraced from behind by him, her face flushed as she sat on the horse. She never expected Su Qingfeng to be so bold—she was a nun, and this scoundrel didn't even spare a nun. Although it seemed like he was helping her, Fan Qinghui felt that he was clearly taking advantage of her.

"Let go right now! Or I'll really hit you!"

Su Qingfeng smiled but didn't let go of Fan Qinghui. He was actually quite curious about what kind of expression Song Que would make next. Anyway, with Fan Qinghui there, he was certain Song Que wouldn't dare to act rashly. Seeing that the two armies were about to clash, Su Qingfeng looked at Fan Qinghui's flushed cheeks and said with a smile:

"Fan Qinghui, since you've already hugged me and everyone who needed to see it has seen it, letting you go now won't help you much."

"What are you trying to help me with? You're just making things worse! Let go!"

The onlookers were deeply shocked—no one had expected that Wu Xiangjun possessed martial arts skills, and his lightness skill was astonishingly high. It was simply unbelievable to everyone that someone at the Innate Realm could frighten away a Grandmaster.

But then he thought, if he were facing Wu Xiangjun, he probably wouldn't fare much better than Du Fuwei. Wu Xiangjun's agility was simply too formidable. Du Fuwei only took a brick this time; if Wu Xiangjun had used a sword or saber, he would likely be dead already.

When Ximen Chuixue saw Su Qingfeng use teleportation, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He had been thoroughly tricked by this Wu Xiangjun—ever since he lost to him last time, he had to call him "Big Brother" every time they met. Every time Ximen Chuixue saw Su Qingfeng, he couldn't help but want to draw his sword.

A few days ago, the two met in Yangzhou. Wu Xiangjun challenged him to a duel, stipulating that the loser must grant the winner a condition. Ximen Chuixue initially thought that a Xiantian realm cultivator actively challenging a Grandmaster was simply asking for trouble.

He was initially unwilling to accept the challenge, but to his surprise, Wu Xiangjun used her own wives to threaten him. Ximen Chuixue knew very well that both of Wu Xiangjun's wives were Grandmasters, and he couldn't defeat either of them. He himself was only a late-stage Grandmaster, and was no match for them.

In the end, Ximen Chuixue agreed to the contest. The rules set by Lord Wu Xiang were: a quarter of an hour; whoever caught him in the arena would win, and whoever failed would lose. Ximen Chuixue looked at the arena, thought it wasn't difficult, and agreed.

But he completely miscalculated—Wu Xiangjun's teleportation was far too fast for him, and his reactions were astonishingly quick, even his feints were seen through. Ximen Chuixue lost just like that, and Wu Xiangjun's condition was: from now on, he must call him elder brother whenever they meet.

Ximen Chuixue secretly resolved that he would never appear in places where Wu Xiangjun was present, to avoid embarrassment.

Murong Qiudi chuckled softly when she saw Su Qingfeng decisively deliver a blow to Du Fuwei.

Haha, this is getting more and more interesting. Thirteen, what kind of treasure do you think Wu Xiangjun ate that allowed someone with no martial arts skills to reach the peak of the Innate Realm in just over ten days?

Yan Shisan watched as Su Qingfeng smashed Du Fuwei's head with a brick, causing it to bleed profusely, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"I've never heard of such a thing. Even the Great Rejuvenation Pill from Shaolin probably wouldn't have this effect. Besides, Wu Xiangjun's lightness skill is too strange; I didn't even see how he flashed behind Du Fuwei."

Upon seeing Su Qingfeng return safely, Murong Qiudi said to Yan Shisan:

"The Great Rejuvenation Pill isn't impossible; it's simply impossible for it to have such an effect. Although it can increase one's internal energy, there are limits. Otherwise, Shaolin would have been filled with grandmasters and dominated the martial arts world long ago."

"As for Lord Wu Xiang's movement technique, it is probably not ordinary lightness skill, but more like some kind of Taoist secret technique. It is indeed powerful."

She had barely finished speaking when she saw Su Qingfeng leap onto Fan Qinghui's horse and pull her into his arms. Murong Qiudi was stunned, looking over helplessly, then said worriedly:

"Is this guy out of his mind? Song Que just arrived. If he sees Su Qingfeng behaving so disrespectfully towards Fan Qinghui, he'll definitely chop this bastard to pieces."

Yan Shisan was also taken aback by Su Qingfeng's boldness:

"Should we try to persuade Lord Wu Xiang?"

Murong Qiudi replied angrily:

"Why try to persuade him? If he wants to die, let him. It's just annoying to watch him."

Yan Shisan smiled but didn't reply. He knew that Murong Qiudi had some feelings for Su Qingfeng, but as a servant, he couldn't say anything and could only wait for her to figure it out herself.

At this moment, Su Qingfeng's Xiaoguo Army had already encountered Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army head-on.

"Archers, prepare! Three shots in quick succession! Fire!"

Whoosh whoosh!

"Raise your shields to defend, prepare your spears!"

Tong Hu shouted orders from the ranks of his troops.

Screams erupted from the front lines of the Jianghuai army opposite, and chaos reigned.

"Raise your shields! **, hold the line! Otherwise... Ah!"

"No retreat! Those who retreat will die! All troops, charge!"

If it weren't for the supervisory team in the rear, the vanguard would probably have already collapsed and fled.

As the battle drew near, Tong Hu drew his long sword with a clang and roared:

"Brothers of the Valiant Army! This is our first battle for Lord Wu Xiang, and he is watching from behind—we must not let him down! Remember, we are the strongest Valiant Army!"

"For Lord Wu Xiang, I will bravely fight the enemy!"

"For Lord Wu Xiang, I will bravely fight the enemy!"

The entire army roared in unison, their voices echoing across the fields.

"Valiant Army—Charge!"

"kill--!"

The two armies clashed, and the vanguard of the Jianghuai Army was quickly broken through by the Xiaoguo Army, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Seeing that the Xiaoguo Army had broken through the front lines, Tong Hu immediately ordered, "Vice General Wang, order the cavalry to attack from both flanks and first rout the Jianghuai Army cavalry." "Yes, sir!"

Seeing that the Jianghuai army archers were constantly hindering the Xiaoguo army's advance and even wounding many soldiers, Tong Hu urgently ordered, "Situ Ming, lead the crossbowmen forward to eliminate the archers. We cannot allow our Xiaoguo army to suffer too many casualties." "Yes!"
