Chapter: 2221
The sudden scene made everyone stunned.
No one expected that Shangguan Xingwang would suddenly assassinate him and kill him with one
blow.
Isn’t it said that one life is exchanged for another?
This guy, did it really well?
“Uncle Cao?”
Lu Chen was also stunned, a little unexpected.
His attention just now was on Shangguan Hong and Cao Zhiyuan. He really didn’t expect that
Shangguan Xingwang, who was a hostage, would make such a move.
“Lu, Lu Chen…my daughter… I’ll leave it to you from now on…”
After Cao Guan uttered a word with difficulty, his head slowly drooped, completely out of breath.
“Death is also a relief.”
Seeing this scene, Cao Zhiyuan looked indifferent and unmoved.
“The third…”
Among the crowd, Cao Jun showed pain.
No matter what, the two of them are brothers. They grew up together and carried the Ding family
together.
Now that Cao Guan has been killed, I feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he dared not speak out, because he couldn’t afford to offend the murderer.
“Old man! Die!”
Shangguan Xingwang laughed ferociously, pulled out the bloody knife, and then kicked Cao Guan in
the back.
“Boom!”
Cao Guan’s body was thrown high, and after flying a few meters away, it just landed at Lu Chen’s feet.
“Cao… Uncle Cao?”
Lu Chen squatted down and reached out to feel Cao Guan’s pulse, and his fingertips began to tremble.
Hopeless.
Originally, Cao Guan was seriously injured and his vitality was about to be exhausted. Now he suffered
a fatal blow, and even the gods could not save him.
“Small! Didn’t expect it? If you dare to fight against me, this is the end!”
After killing the people, Shangguan Xingwang said proudly: “In addition, I will tell you another cruel
thing. Not only will I kill all your relatives and friends, I will also humiliate your woman!
I want to torture her in front of you, making her life worse than death!
How about it? Are you angry? Do you really want to kill me?
Unfortunately, you have no chance. From the moment you let me go, you are doomed to die without a
burial!
Of course, I won’t let you die too easily. I want you to taste all kinds of punishments. I want you to suffer
humiliation. I want you to be unable to live or die!
Chapter: 2222
This—is the price you pay for offending me!
Hahaha……”
By the end of the sentence, Shangguan Xingwang was laughing wildly.
For a martial artist in the world to dare to challenge him, it’s like a petty fly shaking a tree.
“Shang. Official. Prosper. Prosper!”
Lu Chen stood up slowly, speaking every word, his eyes wide open.
Those scarlet eyes contained endless murderous intent and violence.
His hair stood upright and his clothes moved freely without wind.
A monstrous evil spirit gushed out from within his body, heading straight into the sky.
Everyone felt their bodies sink, as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests, and even breathing
became difficult.
An indescribable feeling of palpitations suddenly came over me.
It seems that a huge crisis is brewing rapidly.
“Shangguan Xingwang! I will tear you to pieces!”
Lu Chen was furious, and his whole body was ejected suddenly, pounced on him like a beast.
“Shoot! Shoot quickly!”
Shangguan Xingwang was startled and backed away.
“Bang bang bang…”
A burst of gunfire rang out, all hitting Lu Chen’s afterimage, without any damage at all.
“Quick! Stop him!”
Shangguan Xingwang’s complexion changed drastically, he turned around and fled.
Damn, this lunatic is not even afraid of guns.
“What are you still doing? Go up and help!”
Cao Zhiyuan reacted quickly, and quickly directed a group of guards to push forward.
“Come back to me!”
Lu Chen stepped forward, grabbed Shangguan Xingwang’s head, then yanked him back and pressed
him directly to the ground.
It’s like catching a dead fish.
The next second, the gunfire stopped suddenly, for fear of accidental injury.
The powerful guards immediately stopped and did not dare to act rashly.
“Lu Chen! I’m warning you not to mess around. If you hurt Xingwang, you will be in disaster!” Cao
Zhiyuan shouted sternly.
“Zhuzi! Stop quickly!” The clan members of Shangguan’s family shouted angrily.
Chapter: 2223
At this moment, everyone could feel Lu Chen’s terrifying murderous intent.
But because of being cautious, he dared not act rashly.
“Small! You better be careful, if you hurt me, your whole family will suffer!” Shangguan Xingwang
threatened sharply.
Although he was arrested, he was surrounded by people from the Shangguan family, which was not
false at all.
He didn’t believe that Chase Lu dared to risk the death of his whole family, and really killed him.
“You – really deserve to die!”
Lu Chen’s eyes almost spewed fire, and his fingers slowly exerted force.
The terrifying power at the fingertips directly pierced Shangguan Xingwang’s flesh and penetrated into
his skull bit by bit.
Blood quickly covered his face.
“Ah~!”
Shangguan Xingwang couldn’t help screaming, the fear of death surged into his heart instantly.
“Wait! Stop it!”
At this moment, Shangguan Xingwang finally panicked and began to surrender: “Little smash! Calm
down! If you kill me, countless people will die! Think of your woman, think of your relatives, they will all
follow You are buried with me!”
“You are wrong, it is your Shangguan family who should be buried with you!”
Lu Chen continued to exert force with his fingers, his face full of fierceness.
“Ka Ka Ka…”
Cracks began to appear in Shangguan Xingwang’s skull.
Blood flowed out from the eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
The severe pain and the fear of death made Shangguan Xingwang cry bitterly, begging for mercy
repeatedly: “Don’t…don’t kill me, I know I was wrong, please spare my life, as long as you let me go, I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpromise not to hold you responsible, I can swear that!”
He knew that if he refused to give in, he might really die.
“Lu Chen! Stop immediately! If you kill Xingwang, Concubine Cao Xuan’s family will die!” Cao Zhiyuan
threatened.
As soon as his voice fell, he heard a loud “bang”.
Shangguan Xingwang’s head exploded like a watermelon hit by a shell!
Red and white, splashing everywhere.
Sprinkled mess all over the floor.
“What?!”
Seeing Shangguan Xingwang whose head was blown off, everyone couldn’t help being startled.
They didn’t expect that under heavy siege, Lu Chen would actually dare to kill.
Not caring about his own life, not caring about the life of his whole family.
“Fuck! Is this guy dying? He actually killed the young master of the Shangguan family?!”
Chapter: 2224
“Madman! What a madman!”
“This kid shouldn’t have offended the Shangguan’s family. Now I’m afraid he’s going to be punished by
the Nine Clans!”
“…”
The guests were pointing and pointing in an uproar.
They were attending the engagement banquet, but they did not expect to witness the death of
Shangguan Xingwang.
If a happy event turns into a funeral, the entire Shangguan family will be furious.
No one can afford the consequences!
“Dead…dead?”
Cao Zhiyuan was dumbfounded, her beautiful eyes widened with disbelief.
She really didn’t expect that Lu Chen would actually dare to kill someone in public, and the person he
killed was Shangguan Hong’s biological brother.
This guy is simply a heinous crime!
“It’s broken! Now even Concubine Xuan and the others will suffer!”
Cao Jun secretly cursed and sighed.
The death of the third brother was already a big blow to him.
Now if even the two nieces are not spared, it will be even worse.
Although he longed for power, he did not want to kill his relatives.
For a moment, he couldn’t help doubting his original choice.
Is it really the right thing to join the Shangguan family?
“presumptuous!”
“Be bold!”
“Shu Zi! You are going too far!!”
After a brief moment of stupefaction, the clan members of Shangguan’s family were furious in an
instant, and they all reprimanded them angrily.
After many years of being established in the provincial capital, no one has ever dared to call the
Shangguan family, let alone brutally murder a direct descendant of the Shangguan family in front of
them.
This kind of behavior is simply audacious!
“Lu Chen, you have offended the power of Heaven. No one can save you today.” Shangguan Hong
said coldly.
The death of his younger brother did not disturb him too much.
However, as a murderer, Lu Chen publicly challenged the authority of the Shangguan family and had to
pay the price of death.
“Let Concubine Cao Xuan go, otherwise, you will all die!”
While Lu Chen was speaking, he kicked Shangguan Xingwang’s body violently.
“Boom!”
Chapter: 2225
Shangguan Xingwang bounced off like a football and hit Shangguan Hong at an extremely fast speed,
like a human cannonball.
“snort!”
Shangguan Hong snorted coldly, and directly slapped Shangguan Xingwang’s chest hard.
“boom!”
There was an explosion, and Shangguan Xingwang’s body exploded instantly, turning into flesh and
blood that spattered across the sky.
The surrounding group of Shangguan clan members were covered in blood mist.
All of them turned pale with fright and backed away in fright.
Lu Chen was ruthless enough, but Shangguan Hong was even more ruthless, even the corpse of his
own brother.
With one palm strike, he died without a single body.
“Come here, kill him.”
Shangguan Hong uttered a few words coldly, then took out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped
the blood on his hands.
“kill!”
Afterwards, a group of Wolf Guard masters drew their weapons and charged towards Lu Chen.
“I’ll see who dares to do it!”
At this time, there was an angry shout.
Lao Zhang led a group of Qilin gang disciples, and rushed into the door in a mighty manner.
The dark crowd was full of people, with great momentum and majestic energy.
“Presumptuous! Who are you? How dare you break into Shangguan’s house without permission? How
brave you are!”
“A bunch of reckless people, is this a place you can break into? Get out of here!”
“Send my order! Mobilize the army immediately to suppress the rebellion!”
“…”
The appearance of the Qilin Gang aroused the anger of the Shangguan family members.
what is it today?
Lu Chen, a stunned young man who is not afraid of death, openly challenged the authority of the
Shangguan family, but now a group of gangsters have emerged, showing off their power here, it is
simply lawless!
“Listen up, Shangguan’s family, let Miss Cao go immediately, or we’ll fight to the death today!”
Lao Zhang led many Qilin Gang disciples, stepped forward aggressively, and began to confront
Shangguan’s soldiers.
“The fish dies and the net breaks? You are also worthy?”
Shangguan Hong’s eyes were very disdainful.
In his eyes, the Qilin Gang is just a bunch of rabble.
As soon as the army arrives, it can be easily slaughtered.
Chapter: 2226
“Lu Chen! You are so naive. Do you think you can call Banguan’s family just by relying on these little
minions? What a fool’s dream!” Cao Zhiyuan sneered.
Although the Qilin Gang has a lot of power, in front of the Shangguan family, they are nothing more
than a group of chickens and dogs, who will shatter at the first touch.
“If the Qilin Gang can’t do it, what about our Yaowang Valley?”
At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Immediately afterwards, an old man with a fairy demeanor walked in leisurely, leading a group of
people with extraordinary bearing.
These people are over half a hundred years old, wearing long gowns, although they don’t have an
aggressive aura, they are as thick as a mountain, deep and tall.
No one dares to have the slightest contempt.
The visitors were Qiao Antai, the master of Yaowang Valley, and a group of elders and deacons.
“Strange, why even Yaowang Valley is here?”
“Yao Wang Valley has always ignored secular affairs and never participated in disputes. What
happened today? All the top officials were dispatched, and even the Yao Wang, who has always been
invisible to the dragon, showed up.”
“I have a bad feeling that something big will happen today!”
“…”
Because of the appearance of everyone in Yaowang Valley, the audience couldn’t help but feel a
commotion.
You know, Yaowang Valley is an otherworldly existence in the entire Jiangnan.
He seems to be powerless, but in fact he has a wide network of contacts and has close contacts with
all major forces.
Everyone will get sick sometimes, and once they become seriously ill, they have to seek help from
Yaowang Valley.
Over the years, the influence of Yaowang Valley is no worse than that of San Jueding.
It’s just that Yaowang Valley has always been in a neutral position, but now it suddenly appeared,
which has to arouse people’s speculation.
“Elder Lu, today I led everyone to Fengyu Villa to celebrate your birthday. I didn’t expect you to come
here. I shouldn’t have missed anything, right?” Qiao Antai walked forward with a smile.
“You came just in time.” Lu Chen nodded slightly.
“Senior Medicine King, what do you mean? Do you want to help Lu Chen and go against our
Shangguan family?” Cao Zhiyuan asked coldly.
If it were just the Qilin Gang, the Shangguan family could easily crush it, but if the Yaowang Valley was
added to it, it would be a bit troublesome.
After all, the influence of Yaowang Valley is too great. Once they break up, they will inevitably be
criticized verbally and writtenly.
“Lu Chen is the elder of our Medicine King Valley. If he is in danger, we, the Medicine King Valley,
naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it.” Qiao Antai said calmly.
“Elder of Yaowang Valley?” Cao Zhiyuan frowned slightly.
She didn’t expect Lu Chen to have such an identity, no wonder he dared to be so arrogant.
“General Huwei, today is a day of great joy. It’s not appropriate to make too much noise. Let Miss Cao
go. Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to stay safe?” Qiao Antai said again.
“Valley Master Qiao, it’s not your turn to dictate my affairs.”
Shangguan Hong said indifferently: “Lu Chen killed my brother and openly challenged the dignity of the
Shangguan family. I have already said that he will die today and no one can save him, including you.”
He hasn’t paid much attention to the mere Yaowang Valley.
Chapter: 2227
“General Huwei, don’t do anything too extreme, otherwise you will easily get burned.” Qiao Antai said
meaningfully.
“Burning yourself? Do you have the strength in Medicine King Valley?”
Shangguan Hong snorted coldly: “Get out of here before I get angry, or don’t blame me for being
ruthless!”
“Shangguan Hong! You are such a powerful official! I would like to see how you become so heartless!”
Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded at the door.
Immediately afterwards, an imposing middle-aged man walked in aggressively with a team of personal
guards.
This person is actually the governor of a province, Xia Yongkang!
“My god! It’s Governor Xia? Why is he here?”
“Looking at Governor Xia’s fight, it seems that he is not here to attend the engagement banquet.”
“Nonsense! Who brought so many guards to the wedding banquet? It is obvious that there is going to
be trouble!”
“…”
The appearance of Xia Yongkang caused the scene to explode instantly.
Even a group of clan members of Shangguan’s family were all dignified at the moment.
You know, the man in front of you is the governor of a province, the man in charge of the military and
political power of the entire southern province!
The official residence starts from the first grade!
The real frontier official!
In front of such a big man, even Shangguan Hong, who is General Huwei, has to be suppressed.
“Brother Lu, are you not injured?”
After entering the venue, Xia Yongkang asked Lu Chen first.
“I’m fine. Thank you, Lord Governor, for your concern.”
Lu Chen nodded politely.
“It’s fine.”
Xia Yongkang smiled, and when his eyes turned to Shangguanhong, his face suddenly became cold
again: “Shangguanhong, you have a lot of authority, and because you are a third-rank general, you can
do all kinds of domineering things, and no one can control you.” hold you?”
These words were merciless and did not give the Shangguan family any face.
“Mr. Governor, you misunderstood. It was Lu Chen who came to make trouble. We were just acting in
self-defense.”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Zhiyuan hurriedly defended herself.
“That’s right! It was Lu Chen, a lawless boy, who publicly killed members of my Shangguan family. We
must seek justice!” The clan members of the Shangguan family all agreed.
“Shut up!”
Xia Yongkang glared: “Don’t think that I don’t know what happened. You Shangguan family kidnapped
Concubine Cao Xuan and killed Cao Guan in public. All kinds of evil actions are outrageous to both
humans and gods!”
As soon as these words came out, the Shangguan family clan members were instantly speechless.
Chapter: 2228
It is obvious that they are no longer able to stand up to the problem.
“Governor Xia, I have no grievances with you, why do you have to go against me?” Shangguan Hong’s
face was cold and his eyes were a little unkind.
The last time at Cao’s house, Xia Yongkang also interfered and ruined his good deeds.
Unexpectedly, today, the other party showed up again, and even came to destroy the place.
It’s simply too much!
“As a general of the Dragon Kingdom, you are supposed to uphold law and order and uphold justice,
but look at your behavior, how is it any different from a gangster?!” Xia Yongkang said righteously.
“Governor Xia, although your official position is higher than mine, it doesn’t mean you can control me.”
Shangguan Hong stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and said truthfully: “My position as
general is granted by an official and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Even if you are the
governor of a province, you have no right to dictate to me!”
The governor is the highest local official, commanding the military and political power of a province.
Although the official position is very high, he belongs to the civil service category.
And he is a general, and the two sides are not in the same system.
Civil servants and military generals have always been at odds with each other. If they really wanted to
break up, he might not be afraid.
Because behind him, there is a big backer!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Shangguanhong, don’t be too arrogant!”
Xia Yongkang snorted coldly: “Nan Province is under my jurisdiction, if you do something outrageous, I
will never stand idly by!”
“Governor Xia, I’ve always been law-abiding, so how can I do something so unreasonable?”
Shangguan Hongli said confidently: “To say the least, even if I am really guilty, it is not something that
you, the local governor, can easily deal with!”
As soon as his words fell, a strong and majestic voice suddenly sounded in the air.
“Governor Xia can’t deal with you, what about the old man and me?”
The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone’s ears clearly.
Looking around, I saw another group of people walking in from the direction of the gate.
The first person is a tall and burly old man with white beard and white eyebrows.
The old man walked like a dragon and a tiger, his face full of majesty, but he also exuded a chilling air
that made people feel cold.
“It’s Old General Murong! Old General Murong is here!”
“Oh dog! What’s going on today? Why did even the reclusive old general come forward?”
“It’s broken! The Shangguan family is going to change!”
When they saw Murong Zhenguo, the whole scene was in an uproar again.
Xia Yongkang’s appearance was already shocking enough, and now even Murong Zhenguo came here
upon hearing the news, which is really unimaginable.
As a former general who protected the country, Murong Zhenguo had great achievements and was a
highly respected minister.
He has fought all his life, and his disciples are all over the world.
Chapter: 2229
Regardless of power, connections, or influence, in the entire Jiangnan, they are all leaders.
Even Xia Yongkang, the Governor of the Southern Province, will be overwhelmed.
“Little guy, I’m here to support you today. I want to see who dares to be presumptuous!”
Murong Zhenguo didn’t talk nonsense, stood directly beside Lu Chen, and publicly stated his position.
However, this move once again caused everyone to be in an uproar.
“What? The old general came here because of this kid? Are you mistaken?”
“How could this happen? How can this kid, how can he invite the old general to come forward?”
“Looking at this battle, does this person have some powerful background?”
Everyone was whispering and looking at Lu Chen, his eyes became particularly different.
At first, they thought that Chase Lu’s visit to make trouble was killing himself.
It turned out that the other party came prepared.
No wonder he dared to challenge the Shangguan family. With such two big mountains protecting him,
wouldn’t he be walking sideways?
“How…how is it possible?!”
Cao Zhiyuan looked shocked and a little unbelievable.
She always thought that Chase Lu was just a martial artist with no power or authority.
So from the beginning, she looked down on Lu Chen and felt that he was inferior.
But now she realized that she was wrong, and very wrong.
Not only can Lu Chen be able to fight, but he also has extremely good contacts behind him, so that
when he is in danger, even the governor of a province and the general who protects the country will all
help him.
Although it was difficult to accept, it had to be admitted that the opponent already had the qualifications
to challenge Shang Guanhong.
“Oh my god! What is the background of this kid?!”
Cao Jun and his party were stunned and out of their wits.
Concubine Cao Xuan was kidnapped and Cao Guan was killed, they were all inseparable.
And Lu Chen has a close relationship with Concubine Cao Xuan, so he will definitely not give up.
If it were in the past, with the power of the Shangguan family, future troubles could be avoided forever.
But now that Lu Chen has shown a good network of connections, even the Shangguan family may not
dare to act rashly.
In other words, once Chase Lu wants to take revenge, they will all be lost forever!
“Meet the old general.”
Xia Yongkang bowed his hands towards Murong Zhenguo to show respect.
Although the person in front of him has retreated behind the scenes, he still has unparalleled influence.
Even as a governor, he had to pay three respects.
Chapter: 2230
“Um.”
Murong Zhenguo nodded in response, and immediately glanced at Shangguan Hong: “Shangguan boy,
you just said that Governor Xia can’t deal with you. Do you think it’s okay if you add me, an old man?”
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Hong’s face instantly turned ugly.
Dealing with a governor is already very difficult, and now a general who protects the country has
appeared, which makes it even worse.
The two giants, one civilized and the other military, have connections and influence in all walks of life.
Once they join forces, looking at the entire Dragon Kingdom, how many people can stop them?
“Old General, Shangguan’s family and Murong’s family have always kept out of the water. Are you
going too far today by coming to make trouble?” Shangguan Hong frowned.
With his current power, it’s true that he can’t toughen up the two giants, but that doesn’t mean he has to
compromise.
As the head of the three extremes, the Shangguan family naturally has a corresponding background
and strength.
If we really want to break up, it’s still unclear who will win.
“Excessive?”
Murong Zhenguo snorted: “If you Shangguan’s house hadn’t picked things up first, why would I appear
here? Could it be that your Shangguan’s house is only allowed to prevent fire, and we are not allowed
to light the lamp?”
Today is Lu Chen’s birthday, as an elder, he originally planned to go to Fengyu Mountain Villa to
support him.
As soon as he heard that something had happened, he immediately rushed over with his people.
“Shangguan Hong, if you don’t want to cause trouble, let him go immediately, otherwise you can’t afford
the consequences!” Xia Yongkang threatened in a cold voice.
“Brother Hong, how about…forget it?”
Cao Zhiyuan swallowed her saliva, and said weakly: “Today is our engagement day, it’s not appropriate
to make a big fuss, let’s release Concubine Cao Xuan first, to calm down the situation, as for the
treasure map, we can make plans later, what do you think? ”
“Shut up!”
Shangguan Hong was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him.
The huge force hit Cao Zhiyuan and almost caused him to stumble.
A pretty face instantly became red and swollen.
“Brother Hong?”
Cao Zhiyuan covered her hot face, a little at a loss.
She didn’t understand, which sentence did she say wrong?
As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. At this time, shouldn’t we choose to
avoid the edge for the time being?
“You’re useless, I’ve been embarrassed by you!” Shangguan Hong looked unkind.
The Shangguan family has dominated Jiangnan for many years and has never bowed to anyone.
If he is threatened with a few words, he has to obey orders, so where will the Shangguan family’s face
be saved in the future?
Wouldn’t a century-old extremely wealthy family become the laughing stock of the world?
“Boy from the Shangguan family, I’ll give you three minutes to think about it. If you don’t admit your
mistake in time, don’t blame the old man and I will fall out!” Murong Zhenguo issued a final warning.
