Chapter 156: Fury Arises, Drawing the Sword to Slay the Old Dog!
Chapter 156: Fury Arises, Drawing the Sword to Slay the Old Dog!
At the entrance of the Governor's Mansion, an eerie silence prevailed.
The Great Grandmasters of the Governor's Mansion stood on both sides, their faces frozen in shock, as if they hadn't fully grasped the situation yet.
Their gazes first fell upon the silver-haired elder lying on the ground, his neck twisted and lifeless, causing their bodies to tremble slightly.
Then, their eyes shifted to the two pools of blood, and terror filled their eyes.
Two Supreme Grandmasters!
They had been effortlessly annihilated on the spot!
Not even leaving a complete corpse behind!
What formidable power was this?
Beneath that golden-patterned black robe, what kind of formidable physique could possess such strength to obliterate two Supreme Grandmasters?
"A Demi-Saint! A Half-step Martial Sage who has surpassed the limit of Essence!"
One of the Grandmasters suddenly spoke up.
The others immediately realized, their pupils constricting in an instant.
A Martial Sage is difficult to face, and so is a Demi-Saint!
But if that was the case, then everything that had just happened made perfect sense.
Only by surpassing the limit of Essence and undergoing a metamorphosis in their physical bodies could a Half-step Martial Sage possess such might, capable of blasting two Supreme Grandmasters with a single punch!
Upon this realization, their faces revealed hesitation and unease.
Could Governor Gao handle such a formidable opponent with ease?
Meanwhile, Wei Qingshuang and the other two, who had witnessed the previous scene, were equally stunned beyond words.
The two Supreme Grandmasters hadn't concealed their auras, and they had immediately sensed their formidable power.
But these two, no weaker than their own master, had been blasted by a single punch.
So effortlessly and easily?
For a moment, they doubted their own perceptions, wondering if the two weren't truly Supreme Grandmasters.
However, seeing the shocked expressions of the Grandmasters on both sides, they knew their senses hadn't deceived them.
Qin Zheng had indeed blasted two Supreme Grandmasters with a single punch!
Their emotions surged like turbulent waves, leaving them speechless.
Compared to the others, Zhao Li remained relatively calm.
Wei Qingshuang and the others hadn't witnessed Qin Zheng's prowess, but he had.
He had seen Qin Zheng effortlessly slay three Holy Envoys and disable Wu Ruguang with a single punch.
These displays of overwhelming strength had made him immune to Qin Zheng's might.
But when he heard the word 'Demi-Saint' from the Governor's Mansion Grandmaster, his pupils constricted, and his calm demeanor vanished.
A Demi-Saint? A Half-step Martial Sage?
He had never considered that possibility.
After all, the aura Qin Zheng usually exuded was only that of a beginner Grandmaster.
But hearing that term now, everything seemed to make sense.
Indeed!
Ordinary Grandmasters didn't possess such formidable power, even with innate divine strength; their combat prowess wouldn't be this overwhelming!
Perhaps only a Half-step Martial Sage could so effortlessly slay a Demon Cave Holy Envoy and blast Supreme Grandmasters!
The aura that Qin Zheng usually emanated might have been a mere disguise!
In reality, he had already perfected the realm of a Grandmaster and surpassed its limits, achieving the state of a Half-step Martial Sage!
This realization stirred emotions within Zhao Li as well.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset within a fleeting moment and spoke, "Let's go! Inside!"
Qin Zheng had already entered, and they couldn't fall behind.
Hearing his words, Wei Qingshuang and the others snapped out of their stupor and hurriedly followed Zhao Li.
The six Grandmasters from the Governor's Mansion on both sides also reacted and moved forward to intercept them.
Qin Zheng and his companions didn't dare stop them, but sensing the unconcealed aura of a Supreme Grandmaster from Zhao Li, the Grandmasters hesitated.
"Hmph!"
Zhao Li coldly snorted, took a step forward, and with his lightfoot technique, he swiftly rushed into the Governor's Mansion.
Wei Qingshuang and the others also used their lightfoot techniques to catch up quickly.
At the entrance, only the six Grandmasters of the Governor's Mansion and two terrified officials remained.
Qin Zheng's expression was calm, but his eyes seethed with killing intent.
From the old man's previous words, he had already understood their intentions.
There was no room for negotiation! It wasn't just about humiliating the people of Linyuan City; they wanted his life!
Given the circumstances, there was no need for further idle talk. A chilling killing aura emanated from him, and a powerful force instantly surged into the sky.
Since negotiation was futile, it was time for action!
After all, no one had tried to stop him since he entered the Governor's Mansion.
It was as if those two Supreme Grandmasters represented the entirety of the Governor's Mansion's strength.
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with heightened vigilance.
After a few breaths, his figure swiftly reached the depths of the Governor's Mansion.
Although he hadn't sensed Wei Wujie's presence, he detected something peculiar—a place shrouded by an unknown force, preventing his spiritual perception from probing the area.
With a swift glide, he passed through the long stone path, the brick walls, and entered a large courtyard.
At the same time, Wei Wujie's figure also came into Qin Zheng's view.
There, in a corner of the courtyard, sat Wei Wujie, the General who had guarded Qingzhou for decades, with his legs crossed in meditation.
Around his neck was a collar, connected to a long iron chain, one end attached to the collar and the other to the courtyard wall.
In front of him, there was a bowl filled with foul-smelling refuse water.
But the most severe thing was not this; the most severe thing was that, in Qin Zheng's perception, the Governor's essence, qi, and spirit had dissipated!
The Martial Way is a path of cultivating the human body's essence, qi, and spirit!
The Great Grandmaster realm is further divided into three stages: Qi Invocation, Core Formation, and Mind Concentration, pushing the cultivation of essence, qi, and spirit to the extreme!
At this moment, Wei Wujie's essence, qi, and spirit had dissipated, which meant that the Governor's entire martial prowess had been completely ruined!
From this moment on, he was no longer the Supreme Grandmaster who could break a thousand pounds with his strength and suppress an entire state with his might.
Instead, he was an aged and wasted old man, even inferior to a commoner!
Wei Wujie, the Governor of an entire state, an official appointed by the court!
Yet, in the Governor's Mansion, his martial arts had been ruined, and he was even humiliated like a dog!
Qin Zheng felt as if his heart was filled with raging flames, ready to burst forth.
With a stride, he instantly appeared before Wei Wujie, and his Ghost Head Saber descended.
Clang!
The collar around Wei Wujie's neck broke with the sound.
"Master!"
Qin Zheng struggled to speak.
Although he didn't have the same deep bond as the other true disciples who had spent day and night with Wei Wujie, the Governor had taught him without reservation, almost imparting all his knowledge.
If not for this, even with the Strength of Virtue Scripture, Qin Zheng wouldn't have become as powerful as he is now so quickly.
Wei Wujie's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The Governor's eyes were slightly clouded, no longer as clear and sharp as they were in Linyuan City.
"I'm useless, causing trouble for you all."
Wei Wujie spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse and raspy, as if he hadn't had water for a long time.
His tone was filled with guilt.
"Don't say that, Master. I'll take you home."
Qin Zheng shook his head and spoke, trying to make his voice gentler.
He suppressed the surging anger in his heart.
Looking at the pitiful old man before him, he couldn't connect this person with the awe-inspiring figure he had met for the first time in Linyuan City.
In just a few days, the Governor had become like this.
In the Governor's Mansion, what had Gao Wenyu done to Wei Wujie?
"Master!!!"
"Brother Wei!!!"
At this moment, Zhao Li, Wei Qingshuang, and the others followed Qin Zheng's trail and arrived at the mansion, seeing Wei Wujie.
In an instant, they couldn't contain their emotions and shouted.
Using their lightfoot techniques, they glided swiftly like shadows and appeared before Wei Wujie.
"Master!!!"
Wei Qingshuang stumbled and knelt, looking at Wei Wujie, and tears streamed down as he cried out.
Mo Xingshan and Wu Bingyi did the same, and the three of them knelt before Wei Wujie.
They also sensed Wei Wujie's current state.
His essence, qi, and spirit had scattered, his martial arts were ruined, and his Supreme Grandmaster cultivation had completely dissipated.
Moreover, he had been treated like a dog!
"Wicked beast! Wicked beast!"
Zhao Li, seeing Wei Wujie's miserable state, was so angry that his body trembled slightly, his face turned red, and his forehead veins bulged.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Just then, a clapping sound echoed.
Immediately after, a voice filled with admiration sounded in the mansion.
"Such deep affection between master and disciple truly touches the heart, making one shed tears!"
Everyone followed the sound.
They saw a figure dressed in a scholarly robe, like a scholar, appearing in the mansion.
"Gao Wenyu! How dare you harm a state Governor like this!"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Li immediately shouted in anger, his aura reaching its peak, as if he would take action at any moment!
Wei Qingshuang and the others, seeing this figure, had red eyes and instantly stood up, their weapons in hand.
Just then, an arm reached out and stopped the three of them.
"You take Master back to Linyuan City. Leave this place to me."
Qin Zheng's voice sounded.
This made Wei Qingshuang and the others regain some composure.
They looked at Qin Zheng, then at the figure with his arms behind his back, their eyes filled with a tide of killing intent!
"Good!"
After saying this, the three of them turned and helped Wei Wujie up, heading out of the Governor's Mansion.
Zhao Li tightly gripped his saber, his anger mixed with deep solemnity.
Just then, Qin Zheng's voice sounded again.
"Senior, please follow them and protect my Master."
Zhao Li was taken aback and turned to look at Qin Zheng.
Seeing Qin Zheng's calm gaze, although he couldn't suppress the overflowing coldness and killing aura, he wasn't blinded by anger and had lost his reason.
Recalling Qin Zheng's previous actions, Zhao Li nodded and replied, "Good!"
After saying this, he took one last look at Gao Wenyu, then turned and followed Wei Qingshuang and the others.
Throughout the entire process, Gao Wenyu watched calmly, without making a single move.
Until the group left the mansion.
He looked at Qin Zheng and slowly spoke, "He merely barked in front of the Governor's Mansion. I, as an official, will not tolerate this."
Before he could finish, a swift blade aura had already appeared above his head.
