Wang Yiwu’s demeanor seemed calm, yet the very next instant, Chong Xuansheng didn’t waste words. His Dao Yuan surged wildly, and his massive body flew backward.

“You mother! This bastard’s gone mad!!!”

That day near the city gate, Wang Yiwu’s question had been:

“Do you wish to die?”

Wang Yiwu actually intended to kill the direct descendant of the prestigious Chongxuan family, right here in Linzi City, at this East Street intersection!

Who was Chong Xuansheng?

The beloved grandson of Marquis Bowang, Chongxuan Yunbo; the dearest nephew of Marquis Dingyuan, Chongxuan Chuliang; and one of the most formidable contenders for the future leadership of the Chongxuan family!

Without exaggeration, his life and death were events that could stir the entire State of Qi.

Wang Yiwu wanted to kill him in Linzi.

If this wasn’t madness, then what was?

Even Su She, whom everyone deemed insane, had never entertained such a thought.

If Chong Xuansheng died here today, Wang Yiwu would undoubtedly face the most furious retribution from the Chongxuan family.

No matter how much Jiang Mengxiong suppressed the era, would he truly shield a disciple who had committed such a grave error, standing against the two Marquis of the Chongxuan family? Risking alienating the military from the topmost prestigious clan of Qi?

Even if Wang Yiwu managed to preserve his life, his political future would be utterly ruined.

He was trading his entire future for Chongxuan Zun’s untroubled ascension to the position of family head.

No matter how one looked at it, such a choice was utterly foolish.

Therefore, even with all his cleverness, Chong Xuansheng hadn’t anticipated such a possibility.

Wang Yiwu was a disciple of the esteemed God of War, the most dazzling rising star of the Sky-Covering Army, the foremost Tongtian Realm cultivator of all time, and recognized by many as the number one Tenglong in the world. His future was bright, his prospects boundless!

He wasn’t some desperate commoner with no way out, not some trapped beast in a desperate situation. How could he gamble everything?

It was precisely because it was so impossible that Chong Xuansheng was caught off guard, in “Dream Blossom,” the clothing store personally managed by Chongxuan Zun.

Chong Xuansheng made the most correct decision in the first instant: evade his sharp edge!

This wasn’t the Tianfu Secret Realm or a place of that nature; he had no need to fight Wang Yiwu to the death. This was Linzi!

This was the bustling East Street intersection!

As soon as the commotion of battle erupted, someone would soon come to handle it. And Zheng Shi, the North Garrison Commandant in charge of security affairs, happened to have a conflict with Wang Yiwu due to Zheng Shangming’s matter.

Moreover, not long after the assassination of Zhao Xuan by Hell’s Gate, Linzi City was in a state of high tension. The Imperial Guards, and even the Palace Guards, might send people over.

As long as he preserved his life and made enough noise, powerful individuals would naturally come forward to restrain Wang Yiwu.

Accurately speaking, Wang Yiwu’s madness was a good thing. If he dared to commit violence and assassinate the direct descendant of the Chongxuan family in broad daylight, then Chong Xuansheng wouldn’t hesitate to bring the charges all the way to the Qi Emperor. The entire Chongxuan family would stand firmly against such an act. And this necessary “standing on sides” would devastate Chongxuan Zun’s control over the family, it would be ruinous.

Based solely on the fact that Wang Yiwu suddenly attacked him, this man could at least be confined for three years, effectively cutting off one of Chongxuan Zun’s arms.

That way, when Chongxuan Zun left Jixia Academy, he would have gained a new advantage.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Chong Xuansheng understood everything clearly.

Therefore, he retreated, retreating without hesitation.

His corpulent body directly crashed through his followers, shattered the counter, and slammed into the back wall.

As Chong Xuansheng retreated, Wang Yiwu advanced.

He stood in the doorway, stepping inside.

He strode forward, charging in alone. The door and walls seemingly hadn’t moved, yet they seemed to press down with him, an omnipresent sense of oppression, like an iron wall rumbling forward!

Without Chong Xuansheng even needing to call upon them, the followers he had brought had already acted.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for a moment.

If they didn’t step forward when Chong Xuansheng was in danger, what use were they?

Water Dragon Waves, Flame Light Arrows, Golden Steel Cages… all kinds of dazzling Dao techniques erupted.

Two swords, a hammer, a whip… various weapons were infused with Dao Yuan, courageously charging forward.

Facing Wang Yiwu, whom the people of Linzi recognized as the number one Tenglong in the world, no one dared to hold back.

From the very beginning, the battle reached a terrifying intensity.

The shopkeeper of “Dream Blossom,” however, at this moment, directed the store’s employees to retreat to the side. They neither obstructed Chong Xuansheng nor stopped Wang Yiwu. No matter what decision Wang Yiwu made, they couldn’t be involved. They couldn’t have even a shred of connection to the act of “killing Chong Xuansheng.” Because that would make it impossible for Chongxuan Zun to defend himself!

The instantly erupting offensive almost engulfed the entire room.

But Wang Yiwu simply raised his fist.

He simply and plainly raised his fist, threw a punch.

Light and flames burst forth, broken weapons flew everywhere.

All the attacks were shattered by this one punch!

His pace didn’t falter, nor did his fist.

He stepped forward again, advanced, threw another punch.

He only threw one fist, but everyone saw that one punch.

Chests caved in, heads shattered, abdomens were pierced… they fell in a chaotic heap.

With just this one punch.

The subordinates Chong Xuansheng had brought were all dead.

And at this moment, Chong Xuansheng had already crashed through two consecutive walls and was about to break through the third wall and rush out of the room.

The sound of a heavy object colliding.

That wall, which had originally been ordinary, now seemed to have become an iron wall. Chong Xuansheng couldn’t break through it at all; he was even bounced back!

With Chong Xuansheng’s sharp eyes, he understood what he had encountered with just this one obstruction.

“Silent Decapitation Order!”

Called an order, it was actually the name of an array disc.

This was an array disc used by small teams in the Sky-Covering Army when carrying out beheading operations. This was the most exquisite of them, a first-rate military instrument! The entire Sky-Covering Army didn’t have many in stock.

Those marked by the “Decapitation Order” could never leave the shrouded area of the “Decapitation Order.”

Unless they died in battle or killed the person holding the “Decapitation Order.”

And outside the range of the “Decapitation Order,” people could only see everything as normal, hence the name “Silent Decapitation.”

Historically, there had been no shortage of elite Sky-Covering Army teams using this order to behead enemy generals, and after retreating unscathed, the enemy army would discover that their commander had died.

Although it was a consumable magic weapon, it was also an important instrument in the army. Wang Yiwu, however, was using it to trap and kill Chong Xuansheng.

Chong Xuansheng sneered, “Using public office for private gain, using a military instrument to trap and kill me, a fellow citizen of Qi, is this what you call the big picture?”

Wang Yiwu didn’t speak, but instead shifted his stance and threw another punch!

An overwhelming barrage of fists poured down.

This punch directly killed the employees of “Dream Blossom,” leaving only the shopkeeper.

“Young Master Wang, you…” The shopkeeper of Dream Blossom was pale.

Wang Yiwu’s fist stopped in front of him and moved away. “I’m just ensuring that I’m not affected. A’Zun likes the clothes you make very much, I won’t kill you. Go hide over there.”

At this moment, in the “Dream Blossom” store, apart from Wang Yiwu, only the shopkeeper, Chong Xuansheng, and Shisi were alive. Each of them had a “Decapitate” character light-seal on their bodies.

The “Silent Decapitation Order” could only mark a maximum of three people. Those who were not marked could still enter and leave freely.

To prevent anyone from slipping out and alarming the North Garrison, he simply killed everyone who couldn’t be marked.

Wang Yiwu turned back and looked at Chong Xuansheng again, “Ensuring that A’Zun has clothes he likes to wear, that is my big picture.”
