Chapter 1198
When this Martial Emperor City guard, responsible for maintaining order on the perimeter, arrogantly uttered these words in public, a scarlet blade of energy, moving at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly cleaved his head in two.
'boom! '
"what……"
The guard from Wudi City, whose head had exploded like a ripe watermelon, was reduced to a headless corpse and immediately collapsed to the ground.
His splattered blood and human tissue sprayed like a shower of flowers onto the faces and bodies of the onlookers.
This elicited screams from the crowd and created a huge uproar at the scene.
"Who?"
"Who dares to kill the guards of Martial Emperor City at Black Edge Ferry?"
"Are you courting death?"
This sudden turn of events caused the head guard to immediately roar loudly.
The few Martial Emperor City retainers guarding the ferry crossing formation stood up, ready to defend against any enemy.
Upon hearing this, one of the martial arts practitioners turned around first, and then everyone else instinctively looked behind them...
Until, in the crowded queue, they saw that scarlet python robe and conspicuous black gauze hat, and they all moved aside to the sides!
"Is that his official robe? It even has pythons embroidered on it."
"Crimson brocade material?"
"His identity is not simple."
'Hush! '
"Shut up!"
"This is a high-ranking flying fish robe that only a vice commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is entitled to wear."
"To be able to wear this python robe, one must at least be at the level of Heavenly Punishment."
'Sizzle!'
When a seasoned veteran, with extensive experience and knowledge, succinctly revealed the meaning behind the crimson python robe, gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
In the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, grandmasters were extremely rare.
Divine punishment can even lead to the establishment of a new sect or school!
Of the six major sects, apart from Wudang, the leaders of the other five sects are also under divine punishment.
Of course, having traveled far and wide, they had naturally encountered masters of Heavenly Punishment. To say nothing of the distant past, Zhang Tang, the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City guarding Black Edge Ferry, was a veteran master of Heavenly Punishment in the martial world.
But he is also approaching his eighties.
What truly shocked them was that the man in front of them was incredibly young!
I cautiously approached his young, angular, and aloof face.
If he were dressed differently, who would guess that he was a high-ranking official in the Zhenfu Division and a master of the Heavenly Punishment level or above?
"Jinyiwei?"
"Are all the imperial henchmen this arrogant now?"
"One person was courting death in Wudi City. And now another one has come along, publicly killing a guard of Wudi City?"
"I, the head guard, will see how many lives you have."
Relying on the presence of several devoted guards behind him, he shouted hysterically at the top of his lungs.
In his view, he had the protection of a formation.
As long as the Grandmaster of Heavenly Punishment maintains the formation, even if the opponent has some strength, it will be difficult for them to harm him.
On the contrary, their side is full of ranged concealed weapons!
"You stupid bastard..."
'bass! ’
The young man in the crimson python robe did not engage in any verbal sparring with the other party.
As he muttered these words in a cold voice, his figure vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
"what?"
This sudden turn of events caused a jolt in everyone's hearts, not only to the arrogant head guard, but also to the Heavenly Punishment experts like Zhang Tang in the formation.
The person has disappeared?
Or……
"Get away!"
"Quickly hide inside the formation."
'Sizzle.'
When the young figure reappeared, he was already standing out from the head guard!
The difference is that now he is holding the head of the guard captain in his hand, along with the spine that should have been embedded in his body.
Not only that……
All the guards of Wudi City standing outside the formation, including the onlookers from the martial arts world, felt a powerful killing aura that firmly suppressed them.
To the point that they couldn't even move!
Even Zhang Tang and the others in the formation heard a cracking sound, as if the formation barrier was about to shatter.
"This, this, how is this possible?"
“Zhang Gongfeng, the formation we set up together is close to the ninth grade.”
“An ordinary Heavenly Punishment Grandmaster, no, could not possibly cause such a situation.”
A martial emperor city elder, who vaguely sensed the formation was on the verge of collapse, said in a panic to Zhang Tang beside him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Da, who was completely flustered, stared intently at the young man in front of him, along with the others.
"This, this is my offering, no, I don't care who you are?"
"You'd better go back to the capital first and ask Master Yuan if he's prepared to completely break ties with Wudi City."
"Once it gets to that point..."
"That is, a fight to the death!"
"Remember, this is the territory of Wudi City."
"You have to think it through."
When Zhang Tang uttered these words so arrogantly, the young man discarded the guard captain's head as if it were trash.
With piercing eyes, he gazed upon the majestic Martial Emperor City dozens of nautical miles away and immediately declared, "Wherever the sun and moon shine, all is luminous land!"
"When did Martial Emperor City become Wang Xianzhi's property?"
'Uh-huh. '
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man casually waved his arm.
next second...
Zhang Tang, who was inside the formation, and the onlookers behind him witnessed a scene they would never forget.
On the scene, all the guards, who were unable to move and were dressed in the uniforms of the Martial Emperor City guards, were all beheaded by him from a distance using his internal energy.
The sight of dozens of headless corpses gushing blood like a small fountain sent chills down their spines and made their scalps tingle.
It should be noted that to become a guard in Martial Emperor City, one must be at least an eighth or ninth-grade Innate Realm expert. Among them, there are even grandmaster-level masters.
But just like that, he wiped it out in a single thought?
What level of cultivation does this young man in front of me possess?
'Snapped. '
‘Crack. ’
What made Zhang Tang and the others even more desperate was...
When the man who had effortlessly dispatched all the guards in a single breath took a casual step forward, the already crumbling array barrier instantly cracked like a spiderweb.
"Are the wicked criminals of Wudi City determined to fight the Ming Dynasty to the death?"
"Okay!"
"Then..."
"Kill them all!"
'boom. ’
'Clatter.'
As the young man spoke, his body, unrestrained by any array, stepped into the array that Zhang Tang and the others had painstakingly constructed.
The moment he stepped in, all the barriers and enchantments shattered!
The experts guarding the formation either exploded on the spot or died instantly after spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
Even Zhang Tang, who was the strongest and close to the ninth rank, had his eight extraordinary meridians and three dantian shattered!
At this moment...
The Black Edge Ferry, which was considered insurmountable by the martial arts practitioners, was shattered by him in just three steps.
'Clatter.'
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind them.
And hundreds of dark figures, leaping across rooftops and scaling walls, were rapidly approaching this direction.
"Ok?"
