I'm here in the martial arts world just to find love.

Jiang Chao raised an eyebrow at Nangong Hao's action.

They're leaving already?

A local prince, so easy to talk to?

Or……

Before Jiang Chao could think further, Nangong Hao, who had been turning into the alley, suddenly waved.

The wedding procession stopped abruptly. Those who had been carrying the bridal sedan chair, playing the suona, and banging the drums and gongs all tore off their festive clothes, revealing their gleaming silver armor underneath.

"Clang—clang—clang—"

The sound of swords being drawn was incessant, and a chilling killing intent swept in from all directions of the inn.

Jiang Chao narrowed his eyes, puzzled, and pulled the female knight-errant behind him, saying in a deep voice:

"They're up to no good! Watch out!"

"kill!"

At this moment, Nangong Hao, who had also torn off his wedding attire, gave an order and took the lead in making his move.

A jet-black, twelve-foot-long spear flew out from the hand of a burly man behind them, whistling as it came.

Nangong Hao grabbed the spear shaft, leaped off his horse, and thrust the spear towards Jiang Chao's location.

"boom!"

The true energy surged forth, and the spear pierced the sky, heading straight for Jiang Chao's head.

Jiang Chao dodged to the side, and the tip of a purple spear inside the room collided with a black spear.

It was Qin Shaoling; he was already prepared when the other party suddenly made his move.

Qin Shaoling smashed the window and engaged in a fierce battle with Nangong Hao, who was in mid-air, with a gun.

The remaining guards, clad in silver armor and wielding long swords, began their attack on the inn.

The innkeeper's assistant at the entrance didn't even have time to react before he was cleaved in two with a single blow.

Blood was spilled in the lobby, and the stench of blood filled the air.

Jiang Chao was completely unprepared for this sudden turn of events.

What exactly happened?

Why would Nangong Hao suddenly lead a group to attack them?

  

Is it because he can't get married?

Or... was it premeditated?

Many questions lingered in my mind. This change happened too fast and caught me off guard.

But Jiang Chao was never one to sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Since he was suddenly attacked and killed, why would he surrender without resistance?

Besides, he didn't even consider these armored soldiers in front of him a threat.

Hearing the rapid footsteps outside the door, Jiang Chao said to the tense-looking Miss Chu, "You and Mr. Su protect yourselves. Leave these people to me."

After saying that, he noticed that there was still one person missing in the room; Qin Yueyao was not there.

"Tsk..."

Jiang Chao clicked his tongue, then transmitted his voice to Qin Shaoling, who was outside the window competing with Nangong Hao in marksmanship:

"Old Qin, let's finish this quickly, your sister isn't in this house!"

Qin Shaoling, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Nangong Hao outside, was unable to spare any attention.

This Nangong Hao was not the pampered young master he was used to, but a master marksman with surging inner energy and superb marksmanship!

Moreover, it follows a bold and unrestrained approach.

It shares a similar principle with Qin Shaoling's Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Spear.

"Ah Lang, I'm entrusting my sister to you. Protect her well!" Qin Shaoling transmitted his voice.

Jiang Chao sighed, reached out and beckoned, and the Moye sword beside the bed flew out of its scabbard.

Jiang Chao originally didn't intend to use a sword; it was just a group of soldiers, and he could deal with them without a sword.

However, the moment the door was kicked open, Jiang Chao realized that these silver-armored soldiers who had broken in were no ordinary people.

Each of them possesses remarkable martial arts skills, all surpassing the level of a sixth-rank martial artist!

Moreover, their movements were synchronized, their walking and standing positions were well-organized, and their teamwork was excellent, clearly showing that they were seasoned veterans.

Since they are elite troops on the battlefield, they should not be underestimated.

"Clang!"

As the longsword was drawn, a streak of sword light flashed and poured out.

Although he had never killed anyone since coming down the mountain, Jiang Chao was not afraid to kill someone at this moment!

Nangong Hao first tried to deceive them by posing as the groom, but when he realized that deception was not working, he directly abandoned all pretense and took action.

Therefore, it is clear that this person must have some unspeakable secret.

It's unclear whether it's aimed at Chu Ning or at him.

Jiang Chao is more inclined to target himself.

Because the Lady Chu was at most a young lady from a martial arts family, she wasn't that important to a local prince.

But he was different.

According to Sister Yao Yao, he is now the Tang Monk's flesh.

Anyone who knows the secret of his bloodline wants to take a bite.

It's hard to say whether Nangong Hao isn't a pawn used by some old codger lurking in the shadows to test him!

After all, in the eyes of those old monsters of the Xuanmen sect, let alone a local prince.

They probably don't even care about the princes of the imperial family or the current emperor!

Those tortoises and turtles that are obsessed with immortality and dream of never dying might have already set their sights on this group of people!

With sword energy crisscrossing the area, the armored soldiers who crashed through the walls of the corridor were instantly torn apart.

The silver armor on his body was extremely fragile under the overwhelming sword energy.

Blood mist burst forth from the bodies of each armored soldier.

However, what shocked Jiang Chao even more was that these armored soldiers, despite having their bodies pierced by sword energy, did not fall down immediately.

Streams of bluish-gray mist gushed out from beneath the lifeless armor of these warriors, which were then inhaled by them. Once the mist dissipated, the warriors' aura surged dramatically!

"This, this is...!"

Su E looked at Jiang Chao with a horrified expression and quickly said:

"Be careful! I've never seen this kind of Gu technique before. It seems to be a Gu technique that can stimulate some kind of potential..."

Jiang Chao frowned at this moment. Hearing Su E's words, he nodded but did not speak.

Since that's the case, then we'll have no choice but to use that trick.

"Step back a bit. The sword technique I'm about to use is one I created myself. It's quite powerful and might affect you."

As they spoke, the ashen-faced "Undying Warriors" swarmed over.

The longswords in their hands were also covered with a layer of bluish-gray flames. The flames looked like only a thin layer, but the fluctuations of true energy emanating from them were not to be underestimated.

Jiang Chao didn't know the principle behind this method, but he knew that as long as the physical bodies of these armored soldiers in front of him were completely destroyed, then these strange powers that looked like some kind of witchcraft or esoteric arts would cease to exist.

Jiang Chao gripped the sword hilt with both hands and took a deep breath.

"I'll name this sword technique 'Evil Slayer'!"

Moye Sword, Demon-Slaying Sword Technique!

Perfect match!

Thinking this, the young man holding the longsword moved.

Under the watchful eyes of Chu Nüxia and Su E.

A dazzling, silvery-white river of sword energy descended from the sky, centered on the longsword held high in the young man's hand.

The river of sword energy that crashed through the roof of the inn and fell into the inn carried a powerful and unstoppable momentum as it struck the armored soldiers.

The bluish-gray mist was dispersed, along with the long swords in the hands of the armored soldiers and the tattered armor they wore.

And—their skin, bones, and flesh.

Like snowflakes blown away by the spring breeze, they vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
