Chapter 94: Fierce Battle at the City Lord's Manor

  "Did you hear? Yesterday, more than 20 martial artists at the peak of the 9th rank went to the City Lord's Manor and were all killed. Now those twenty-odd heads are still hanging in front of the City Lord's Manor!"

  "Naturally, I've heard about it, but the City Lord's Manor also suffered heavy casualties. You should know that those few major families haven't made a move yet?"

  "Impossible! The Soul-Condensing Pill may be powerful, but do they really want to directly provoke the City Lord's Manor?"

  "Haha, you're silly, just pretend to be a loose cultivator and that's it?"

  Wei Hong sat in the inn, listening to the discussions around him, and also took a cold breath. It seemed that the infighting in the city's government these past few days was quite brutal. It looked like this time, he probably wouldn't have any chance. However, no matter what, once the Soul Condensing Pill was successfully refined, he would definitely go take a look.

  After dinner, Wei Hong returned to his room and continued to cultivate. Two days passed in this way, until the evening of the third day, when news came from the City Lord's Manor that the Soul-Condensing Pill was about to be ready.

  Wei Hong changed into a set of sturdy clothes and also headed towards the City Lord's Manor. At this time, the entire street of Feng City was silent, with no sound of birds or animals, forming a strong contrast to the bustling noise of the past few days. Everywhere on the streets, martial artists could be seen running towards the City Lord's Manor.

  When Wei Hong arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, he also showed a look of shock. Looking ahead, the front of the city lord's mansion was already filled with rivers of blood, and it was surrounded by layers of people fighting for themselves, killing each other in a shocking and earth-shaking manner, amidst a chaotic battle scene.

  At this time, the city master's mansion was brightly lit, with everyone on high alert. In the grand hall of the city master's mansion, a middle-aged man with an air of majesty sat in the main seat, his face revealing a hint of murderous intent. He was none other than Dong Haofan, the City Master of Fengcheng.

  "Lord, at this rate, we're afraid we won't be able to hold out. You'd better take the young lady and leave first!" A man in iron armor, covered in blood, reported in a low voice from below.

  "Yes, Lord, we'll stay and fight it out with these bastards." Another iron-armored man in the hall said, exuding a fierce aura.

  Dong Haofan gazed at his two loyal subordinates, the killing intent on his face dissipating, a hint of relief flashing across his eyebrows. He spoke in a soft voice, "Wu Da, go and call out Miss!"

  Below, a slightly more robust man heard Dong Haofan's words and showed a hint of joy on his face, thinking that the city master was willing to leave. He hurriedly ran towards the outside, but after Wu Da left, Dong Haofan turned to another iron-armored man and said again: "Wu Er, I want to ask you for something."

  "Thud." The man known as Wu Er dropped to his knees with a thud, saying loudly: "City Master, if my brother and I hadn't been taken in by you back then, we would have long since starved to death on the streets. Today is our chance to repay your kindness. You can take Miss away, we will definitely try to stall for as much time as possible."

  Wu Er misunderstood his intention, and Dong Haofan also showed a wry smile, continuing to say: "No, it's me who stays here, you and your brother escort the young lady away together."

  Wu Er's slightly excited appearance was halted by Dong Haofan, who quickly said: "The several major families have not yet made a move, I must stay here to preside over the situation. This way, Zi'er will have an opportunity to escape. Remember, after you escape, find a safe place to hide and let Zi'er break through to the Wu Shi level as soon as possible. Only then can she shine in the Sect's Grand Competition. And even if Zi'er doesn't break through to Wu Shi, there will definitely be a sect that chooses her."

  Recalling his own daughter's physique, a hint of pride also appeared on Dong Haofan's face. A moment later, Wu Dajin entered, followed by a red-clothed girl behind him, with no emotions on her face. She was Dong Haofan's daughter, Dong Zi. Even though the City Master's Manor had fallen into crisis, there were no ripples in Zhou Zi's eyes.

  Then, Dong Haofan spoke to Wu Da again, not giving him a chance to refuse. After finishing speaking, Dong Haofan turned his gaze towards Dong Zi and said softly: "Zi'er, from now on, you'll have to rely on yourself. This is the Soul-Condensing Pill; once you can fully merge with it and break through to the Wu Shi level, take it."

  As he spoke, Dong Hao Fan placed a jade box in Dong Zi's hand. A hint of pain flashed across her face before it instantly turned icy cold. She didn't say anything, while Dong Hao Fan let out a faint sigh, hoping that his daughter would reach the level of a martial artist and change this icy atmosphere.

  "Boom!"

  At this moment, a loud noise was heard, and the gate of the city master's mansion was broken through. Dong Haofan, with a hint of murderous intent emanating from his body, said to Wu Da and Wu Er, "Take Miss away quickly."

  After finishing speaking, Dong Haofan rushed out directly. Wu Da and Wu Er looked at each other, then heavily knelt down towards the departing Dong Haofan, before standing up again and escorting Zhou Zi in another direction away from there.

  Wei Hong stepped on the Lingbo step and also arrived at the city master's mansion with the opening of the city gate. In an instant, a fierce attack came from behind, and a slightly frantic voice rang out: "Get out, you thing that doesn't know life or death."

  Wei Hong stopped in his tracks and suddenly turned around, throwing a punch at the approaching person.

  Boom

  The intense confrontation caused Wei Hong to involuntarily retreat a few steps, then, looking at the person who attacked him, a cold smile appeared on his mouth, with a hint of sarcasm, and said: "In Feng City, Xu Da Shao, still as elegant as ever!"

  The sky had just darkened slightly, and Xu Han hadn't seen the person in front of him clearly. However, at this moment, when he saw Wei Hong, a hint of killing intent appeared on Xu Han's face, and he was preparing to strike him down. This time, it was quite fortunate.

  "Little brat, die!" Xu Han slapped a palm towards Wei Hong, and at the same time, his face revealed a sinister smile.

  "Barbarian King Fist."

  Wei Hong let out a light shout and didn't dodge at all, directly meeting Xu Han's attack head-on.

  Bang!

  A fierce collision, however, Wei Hong did not fall short, his current double-fisted strength can be said to have completely defeated Xu Han. At this time, Wei Hong's one punch was more powerful than the last, directly forcing Xu Han to retreat step by step.

  Xu Han's heart was also ignited with anger at this time, and he retreated several steps again. A purple light flashed in his eyes, the veins on his face bulged, and he looked at Wei Hong with a slightly gloomy gaze, shouting: "Purple energy comes from the east."

  As soon as the voice fell, he saw that Xu Han's fists were emitting a purple glow, and they struck directly at Wei Hong. However, Wei Hong felt a sense of danger from this punch, and he quickly drew out his Overlord Saber, calmly shouting: "Devil Illusion Blade Technique."

  As soon as Wei Hong's voice fell, a knife directly chopped towards Xu Han, and the knife energy collided with Xu Han's fist. To everyone's surprise, the purple color did not disperse, but instead shook off Wei Hong's knife energy.

  At this moment, a sneer appeared on Xu Han's face, and he suddenly accelerated towards Wei Hong with a fierce tread.
