In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Chapter 118: A direct attack, one sword strike and he's dead.

"It's simple: nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Lu Yuan smiled and said.

Since Fan Ping intended for them to act as pawns to alert the enemy, they naturally had to make the best of a good role.

"Then what identity should we use?"

Bai Xiaotang's eyes brightened slightly, and then she nodded.

"Naturally, he is the Bronze Sword Envoy of the Suspended Sword Division."

Lu Yuan said directly.

"Should we get straight to the point and attack?"

Jiang Ying excitedly pumped her fist.

"You could say that."

Lu Yuan nodded, then said, "However, the reason for the attack is not that the Cui family colluded with the Longevity Sect, but that I have a personal grudge against Cui Yunhao."

What he was going to do next was to use the pretext of settling a personal score to stir up trouble and alert the Cui family.

"Great idea!"

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Tang and Jiang Ying's eyes lit up slightly.

They were naturally well aware of the feud between Lu Yuan and Cui Yunhao.

"Without further ado, let's go to the Cui family now!"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then strode out of the post.

"Everyone, gather!"

Before long, dozens of Iron Sword Envoys, led by Lu Yuan, Jiang Ying, and Bai Xiaotang, stormed into the Cui family compound and blocked the entire gate.

"Who are you people?"

The Cui family's captain of guards stared coldly at Lu Yuan, Jiang Ying, and Bai Xiaotang, and demanded an explanation.

"The Bureau of Suspended Swords is investigating; your Cui family's affair has been exposed!"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"The Sword-Suspended Division?"

As Lu Yuan finished speaking, the Cui family's guard captain's expression changed drastically with horror.

Although the Cui family, with its resources and strength, is not afraid of ordinary government offices, and even if the prefect himself comes, he must wait obediently outside the gate, if it is really the Suspended Sword Bureau, the Cui family will probably be in big trouble.

Because the Suspended Sword Bureau is different from ordinary government offices, it not only surpasses the Ziyang Sect in terms of its foundation and strength, but also wields immense power, able to arbitrarily dispatch any officials or even troops.

Most importantly, behind the Sword Suspension Bureau stands a genuine martial arts saint.

Thinking of this, Cui's captain of guards did not dare to hesitate for a moment and hurriedly turned around and rushed into the mansion. This matter was no longer something he could decide.

Before long, dozens of figures walked out quickly.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes.

In the crowd behind him, Lu Yuan also saw a familiar face, which was none other than Cui Yunhao.

"Lu Yuan, Jiang Ying, Bai Xiaotang, how dare you three cause trouble at my Cui family's residence!"

Cui Yunhao glared at the three of them and shouted angrily.

"We are the Bronze Sword Envoys of the Suspended Sword Bureau!"

The three of them didn't even glance at Cui Yunhao, and directly showed him the bronze sword token.

"May I ask what brings you three esteemed Bronze Sword Envoys to my Cui family?"

Cui Yunhao wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the man in fine clothes who then asked Lu Yuan and the other two with a gentle smile.

"Master Cui, you should know perfectly well why we're here."

Lu Yuan glanced at the man in fine clothes indifferently, and then spoke directly.

He doesn't spell things out, he plays the riddle game, letting the other person guess for themselves.

"My Cui family are all law-abiding citizens and have never oppressed the people. We really don't know where we have violated any taboos."

Cui Zhe's expression remained unchanged, and then he lowered his posture to an extremely humble level, smiling as he spoke.

"It seems that your Cui family is determined to be stubborn and resist to the end."

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a cold voice.

"Lu Yuan, stop being so arrogant. So what if you're a Bronze Sword Envoy of the Suspended Sword Division? You think you can mess with the Cui family without any evidence? Dream on!"

Cui Yunhao couldn't help but roar at Lu Yuan, "If you want revenge, just come at me!"

"Alright, let's start with you!"

Lu Yuan immediately turned his gaze to Cui Yunhao and said directly, "Let's fight directly. If you win, I will leave with my men right now."

"It's a deal!"

Cui Yunhao said with a cold smile, "However, in this battle, it's a matter of life and death for the two of us. Do you dare?"

Although he already knew that Lu Yuan, Jiang Ying, and Bai Xiaotang had all participated in this year's martial arts examination ahead of schedule, in his opinion, these three must have failed the examination and therefore chose to join the Suspended Sword Bureau and become the court's lackeys.

Otherwise, if one passes the military examination, even if one is not selected by the Ziyang Sect, one can still go to the capital to continue taking the military examination for the title of Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest level of the imperial examinations).

Moreover, although Lu Yuan's strength was not weak, it was not much stronger than his.

After days of diligent cultivation, he has not only successfully advanced to the seventh rank, but also cultivated the Golden Bone technique. In addition, he has also cultivated the Cui family's secret technique. His true strength is now comparable to a sixth-rank master who is at the middle third rank.

Most importantly, this is the Cui family's territory, where the advantage lies and there is absolutely no possibility of them losing.

"Just what I wanted!"

Lu Yuan remained standing there calmly.

"Then you can die now!"

Cui Yunhao sneered, and then, as if transformed into a ghost, he appeared in front of Lu Yuan in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, his hands seemed to transform into ten golden claws, ready to tear Lu Yuan to shreds.

Cui Zhe and the other experts from the Cui family did not intend to stop them, clearly wanting Cui Yunhao to test the strength of Lu Yuan and the other two.

"laugh!"

However, at that very moment, a blazing and dazzling sword light burst forth.

"what!"

With a scream, the light quickly faded.

Cui Yunhao was lying in a pool of blood, lifeless.

Lu Yuan didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground again. For him now, killing a seventh-rank Cui Yunhao was nothing serious, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was effortless.

Even if it meant directly confronting the entire Cui family, he was not afraid at all.

Not only because he had the powerful backing of the Suspended Sword Division, but also because his own cultivation level gave him enough confidence.

"How dare you kill my son, Yunhao!"

Cui Zhe glanced at Cui Yunhao's corpse, then roared at Lu Yuan with eyes wide with rage.

"He was the one who just challenged me to a life-or-death battle. Now that I've killed him, I'm merely fulfilling his wish!"

Lu Yuan smiled and replied.

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Cui Zhe's eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze toward Lu Yuan was filled with a chilling killing intent.

Even more terrifyingly, an aura emanated from him.

"Third rank!"

Lu Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly. The Cui family truly lived up to its reputation as a martial arts family, indeed possessing a super strong expert of the upper three ranks.

It's even possible that Cui Zhe is just a super strong person on the surface, and there are definitely many more hidden in the shadows.

Even if it were a second-rank or even first-rank official, the Cui family might still exist.

Of course, even so, he was fearless.

Although he has only just entered the fourth rank, he is fully capable of using the power of his Gang Thunder to go head-to-head with any of the upper third rank who has not yet stepped into the Gang Realm, and it is even entirely possible for him to completely suppress and kill them by surprise.
