318: Chapter 212 Households Commander 318: Chapter 212 Households Commander “Chu Xisheng!”
Hundred Households Zhang Ming looked at the figure approaching by water on the river, his face dark as iron.
The man he was most wary of still forcefully inserted himself, obstructing his plans against the Zuo Family.
This guy had not shown up yesterday, hadn’t sent the Zuo Family off, which made them lower their guard.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a move on the river in Xunyang County, but would have chosen another location.
Although delaying would lead to more variable factors, giving the Zuo Family’s friends and allies more time to respond, it was still better than being defeated at the last moment in East State.
Immediately, Zhang Ming’s pupils brightened, and a look of delight appeared on his face.
He looked around and saw that within five miles along the riverbanks, not a single figure could be seen.
There was only Chu Xisheng, coming alone and walking on water.
His few subordinates were nowhere to be found, and that mysterious Fifth-Grade master, too, was not in sight,
—This guy, he’s too arrogant.
Zhang Ming couldn’t help but sneer, “Master Chu, why bother?
There’s a way to heaven, yet you don’t take it; there’s no door to hell, yet you burst in.”
As his words fell, two figures suddenly burst out of the second-story windows of the ship, like two fleeting arcs of white light, striking towards Chu Xisheng.
Today, they dared to make a quick decision in Xunyang because they were fully confident.
The two figures were twin brothers, both were Seventh-Grade Upper Tier cultivators, but they possessed a Combined Attack Saber Technique.
When they executed it together, their combat power could even exceed that of a normal Sixth-Grade Lower.
However, just as those two arcs of white light were about to converge in front of Chu Xisheng,
a red arrow shot forth from several miles away on the shore.
The shooter was hidden in the forest, invisible, but his arrow flew as fast as light and instantly reached, directly striking one of the white arcs.
The white light halted, revealing the figure of a young man in a white robe.
The red arrow had embedded itself in his throat!
The young man in the white robe looked incredulous, trying to pull the arrow out of his throat, but in the next instant, the red arrow exploded, splitting his neck in two.
The man’s head and body then both sank into the river.
Meanwhile, the other arc of light had already struck in front of Chu Xisheng.
This was another young man in a white robe, his pupils filled with sorrow and rage.
However, all of his attention was now on Chu Xisheng.
First to slaughter this man, then kill that hunter.
Chu Xisheng, on the other hand, let his hands hang by his waist, watching him indifferently.
As they came within eight feet of each other, Chu Xisheng’s hands suddenly moved like phantoms.
Chasing Wind Saber * Empty Wind!
With a flash of white light, a bloody seam was slashed across the neck of the young man in white.
Immediately, his body and head separated, limp beside Chu Xisheng, falling into the water.
By this time, Chu Xisheng’s ‘Demon Pattern Cicada Wing Blade’ had already returned to its sheath, as if it had never been drawn.
Chu Xisheng, however, seemed unconcerned and continued walking on the water towards the official ship.
Since he had elevated his Wind Control and Lightning Manipulation to the Sixth Stage, no Seventh-Grade Martial Cultivator had made him use his extreme blade speed thus far.
This young man in a white robe was no exception.
By this time, Hundred Households Zhang Ming couldn’t help but grunt and swallowed his saliva, disbelievingly looking towards a lush hill on the riverbank.
—That was a Seventh-Grade shooter!
Moreover, a Seventh-Grade Divine Shooter in the top eighty of the Qingyun List!
His combat power was super-level, enough to match a Sixth-Grade Lower master!
And Chu Xisheng’s blade, so fast!
Zhang Ming was after all a master of Seventh-Grade Upper Tier.
But Chu Xisheng’s blade was so fast that it surpassed the capture of his naked eye.
This is the standard of the twenty-ninth position on the East State Qingyun List.
Zhang Ming felt his breathing become labored.
“Arrow formation, shoot him!
Don’t let him board the ship.”
By now, Zhang Ming could no longer care about Sikong Xin.
Zhu had half a step higher cultivation than Sikong Xin, but was clearly not a match for this former Gold Medal Assassin from the Killing Tower.
Zhu fought alone, he could hold Sikong Xin at bay for a while.
On the other hand, if Chu Xisheng boarded the ship, likely very few on this ship would survive.
“What are you all waiting for?”
Zhang Ming then glared at those Red Robed Martial Masters holding boning knives: “Aren’t you going to act?
Stop fooling around, just decapitate them!”
He originally wanted these people to use their boning knives to cut the flesh off the bodies of the Zuo family members.
He couldn’t play with a thousand cuts, but a hundred cuts was easy.
But at this juncture, Zhang Ming only wanted to kill.
As long as he slaughtered the Zuo family members, he would have completed his task and could instantly flee.
Just as those Red Robed Martial Masters were preparing to cut towards the necks of the Zuo family members, a large volley of arrows suddenly shot over.
Those arrows, originally aimed at Chu Xisheng, were reflected back by the light of his blade.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
The continuous arrows kept shooting at the dozen Red Robed Martial Masters holding the boning knives.
At first, these men could resist.
But with only Ninth-Grade cultivation, they were quickly overwhelmed, pierced by arrow after arrow until their bodies were pinned to the deck.
Chu Xisheng had already reached the left side of the official ship.
With a step of his right foot, his whole body soared like a swallow, rising more than twenty feet, far exceeding the height of the deck.
Chu Xisheng saw that on the deck before him, there was no opponent beyond his own strength.
His lips slightly lifted: “Qianqian, go help Sikong Xin!
Don’t let that eunuch get away, make sure to slaughter this man!”
