Ultimate Method: Practice your fist a hundred times, and use violence to control violence.

Anshi.

The owner of this private antique shop, surnamed Liang, came to wait for Wan Ze and his three companions after receiving a call from Professor Song.

Under the dim yellow light, the antique shop, which was more than 60 square meters in size, was filled with many good things. Just as Zhai Yu and his team were exchanging pleasantries with this boss, Mr. Liang, Wan Ze had already quietly gone to look for an opportunity to steal the secrets of heaven.

Just as he guessed.

Only specific items can trigger the "Stealing Heaven's Secret" event; even genuine items cannot be used.

The more this was the case, the more he felt that there might truly be profound martial arts techniques in Emperor Ying's tomb!

Seeing Wan Ze return, Lei Ming subtly winked at him: "Anyone you like?"

Wan Ze laughed and said, "I was just looking around. By the way, did you get your things?"

"I've already sent someone to get it... It's here," Lei Ming called out.

Over there, Boss Liang had already opened the two boxes and introduced them one by one: "This is a bronze warrior statue. Currently, this is the only bronze statue from the Ying period that has survived..."

"A samurai?" Zhai Jia and the others stepped forward to investigate.

After they finished examining it, Wan Ze finally got his hands on it. He was a little excited, but he calmly reached out and touched it.

and many more?

There's nothing there?

Wan Ze was taken aback.

He calmed down and pondered.

"It seems that not all old artifacts from the Ying Kingdom can trigger this..."

"There are other restrictions..."

"Could it be related to Emperor Ying?"

"The tiger tally came from him, so he succeeded in stealing the secrets of heaven."

"But this bronze warrior statue only survives from that period..."

Just then, Boss Liang was introducing the second item in his collection... "Legend has it that this sword was used by Emperor Ying when he was young. After he ascended the throne, he used this model to create the legendary sword... the Tai'a Sword."

"This is actually the sword used by Emperor Ying?" Lei Ming exclaimed, and even Zhai Yu couldn't help but move closer to take a look.

Wan Ze reached out and rubbed against it.

A powerful, refreshing sensation suddenly surged from my fingertips into my body.

Become!

Almost instantly, Wanze's vision seemed to distort with time, suddenly turning pitch black and then suddenly bright again.

……

"The six kingdoms of Kanto are already a mere shell of their former selves. Within ten years, my Great Victory will surely conquer the world!"

In the vast and desolate hall, on the magnificent and majestic throne, the figure whose features were obscured was enough to stir the heart.

"Wherever I go, I follow the Way of Heaven!"

……

"Aze? Aze?"

Lei Ming called out several times before he snapped out of his reverie. The surprise in his eyes faded, and he said apologetically, "I was lost in thought. Sorry, where were we?"

"We've looked at both of these items, but we haven't found any clues... Have you discovered anything?" Lei Ming asked.

Wan Ze took the sword in his hand, examined it carefully, and stroked the blade, feeling a cool sensation on his fingertips: "It's a fine sword."

He recalled what he had just seen.

"Boss Liang, could you please turn off the lights?"

Boss Liang didn't understand, but he did as instructed.

The lights went out.

Only the natural light from the entrance remained in the exhibition hall. Wan Ze kept adjusting the sword. When the sunlight shone on the center of the sword, he tilted the blade slightly, and the dappled light on the wall gradually took shape.

The Zhai brothers were mesmerized.

Everyone was startled when Lei Ming shouted out.

"Damn it, what are you yelling about?" Zhai Jia wanted to slap him.

Lei Ming pointed to the light and shadow on the wall and said, "It's a map! We've found similar projections before... Aze, you're really something else. If Professor Song were here, he'd probably call you to do archaeology at the National University again."

Wan Ze: "..."

He stared at the projection on the wall. "I'll hold up the sword. You guys take notes. Maybe we can connect it to the address on the Tiger Tally... The more addresses we get, the better it will be for us."

Lei Ming hurriedly did as instructed.

The shopkeeper, Mr. Liang, was dumbfounded. He had had this sword in his possession for at least five years, but he had never noticed it before.

He suddenly remembered what Professor Song had been talking about regarding his career and couldn't help but ask, "Are you looking for imperial tombs?"

"Yes. Is Boss Liang also interested?" Lei Ming asked with a smile.

"Me..." Boss Liang smiled bitterly, "Twenty years ago, Lao Song and I searched like madmen, but now I'm old... You can take this sword for now, consider it my effort to fulfill the dream I didn't complete back then."

"Boss Liang, you..." Lei Ming was stunned.

Then Boss Liang recounted how he and Professor Song met at the university. Both of them came from impoverished families, and at that time, only the two of them were determined to pursue archaeology... Unfortunately, he later fell seriously ill and had to withdraw from the research group, leaving Professor Song to fight alone.

Words spoken from the heart are always sincere and heartfelt.

"I hope you succeed, and I will also help inquire about old artifacts from the Ying Kingdom... Once I find any, I will notify you immediately."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Liang."

With their swords in hand, the group dined at a nearby restaurant, hosted by Boss Liang. During the meal, Boss Liang even made a special phone call to Professor Song.

Upon hearing of the discovery, Professor Song was so excited that he wanted to take the medicine bottle and drive to Shengshi. It took a lot of persuasion from Boss Liang to calm him down.

I hung up the phone.

Boss Liang pondered for a moment and said, "If we only rely on this map information, it will probably be difficult to find the imperial tomb... Moreover, it's hard to say whether the location marked on this map is actually the imperial tomb. You should be prepared."

"We will..."

After the meal.

The two said goodbye.

Zhai Jia knew the matter was important, so he didn't insist that everyone relax in Anshi for a while before going back.

I just didn't expect it.

They had just left the restaurant when their path was blocked.

The three luxury SUVs at the front were equipped with bulletproof glass, indicating that the other side was coming in a menacing manner.

"Is it a secret palace?"

Lei Ming's heart tightened, but Zhai Yu pressed down on his shoulder: "It's not the Secret Palace, it's Xiao Jia's old nemesis... Trouble, can you handle it?"

"Yes, you guys go first, don't let it interfere with our business."

Zhai Jia pushed open the car door and got out of the car on his own.

Wan Ze and Lei Ming exchanged a glance: "Brother Yu, what's going on?"

"The Tong family has always been at odds with Xiao Jia, but it seems they've been recognized after all..." Zhai Yu said in a deep voice.

Lei Ming couldn't help but say, "Judging from their numbers, we don't seem to have the advantage."

But as soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen burly men in black suits got out of the three cars opposite him, each holding a machete, and rushed over.

"Snapped!"

Wan Ze shoved the car door open and shouted, "I can't stand it anymore, let's take them down!"

Lei Ming followed closely behind: "I can't stand it either, wait for me!"

Zhai Yu was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Never mind, it's been a long time since I've done it."

He unbuttoned a button, pushed open the door, jumped out of the car, and rushed into the crowd.

Zhai Jia noticed Wan Ze and the other two, and laughed, "Tong Run, all you can do is hide in the car and resort to underhanded tricks!"

The four men were like tigers among sheep.

Just as Wan Ze was about to reach Zhai Jia, a figure suddenly darted out from behind the car. Taking advantage of the surrounding terrain, the figure made the most of the environment, reached out, and with forked fingers, aimed straight at Wan Ze's eyes.
