"I didn't expect you to dare to come!"

Wei Teng's smile on his face was somewhat distorted. He was now like a baboon obsessed with mating, considering any other male as a mortal enemy.

Especially when he saw Ying Wuji again, it reminded him of being confined at home and punished because of the incident at the bookstore, fueling his anger.

Now he just wanted to *** Ying Wuji, so that Hua Chao would give up.

Ying Wuji looked at his slightly crazy expression and couldn't help but furrow his brows. This person's mental state was definitely abnormal. Coupled with Ji Su's strange reaction earlier, the answer to the situation was already apparent.

But considering the current situation, there could be casualties in the deer room.

The most rational approach now was to use all means to delay the situation until Luo Yan arrived with his men, giving room for a turnaround.

But when he glanced at Hua Chao's pale face, her heartbroken expression, and the ragged Little Liu lying on the ground, he cursed inwardly.

How can you expect me to be rational?

Ying Wuji said coldly, "I'll give you a chance to kneel down and apologize, otherwise come and face death!"

"You're giving me face!"

Wei Teng laughed in anger. He didn't expect Ying Wuji to have the strength to break in. However, the guards with strength were all called in by him to break the formation. Even if the guards outside were at the Fetal Transformation Realm, they were the lowest-grade seventh-grade Ling Fetus. Combined with the difference in techniques, their actual strength was similar to his own, so it was not surprising that they were defeated one by one.

But now, Ying Wuji was facing more than a dozen guards, many of whom were experts at the sixth-grade Ling Fetus stage.

And it was a desperate fight. In this battle, he would surely die.

"Attack!"

The dozen or so guards rushed forward, and the warm candlelight in the deer room suddenly became colder with the reflection of their swords and blades.

Ying Wuji's heart sank slightly, but he could only raise his sword to meet them.

This situation seemed like it could be perfectly resolved by the Law Court, as long as rules were established and no one could use violence. It would be similar to the Non-Attack Territory of the Mo Family.

However, the essence of the Non-Attack Territory was to eliminate the intent to kill, while the Law Court established strict rules, focusing on punishment rather than solving the root problem. This was also the difference in philosophy between the Mo and Law families.

Heavy punishment would inevitably lead to backlash, and at least one-tenth of the punishment inflicted on these people would backfire on themselves.

Moreover, these people all obeyed Wei Teng's orders. In this situation, using the Law Court would only result in a lose-lose outcome.

But at this moment, they had no choice but to fight.

In an instant, his profound understanding of basic swordsmanship merged completely into the Mo Family's Non-Attack Sword Technique.

This most extreme defensive sword technique in the world finally showed its brilliance in his hands for the first time.

Facing the siege of more than a dozen experts at the Fetal Transformation Realm, he cleverly blocked every attack, making these people feel like they were fighting against thin air. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't break through, which made them extremely frustrated.

Wei Teng cursed angrily, "Useless! A bunch of useless people! Can't even defeat one person with more than ten of you?"

The guards also complained, "Non-Attack Sword Technique! Young Master! This kid is too strange!"

"Damn it!"

Wei Teng spat on the ground, "Another turtle in a shell! Just keep dragging him, drag until the protective talisman dissipates, and when the gate of the deer room falls, even if he has more reinforcements, they won't be able to come in for a while. I'll kill Hua Chao right in front of him, and I want to see him turn into a real turtle!"

As he spoke, he took a step closer to Hua Chao.

Hua Chao instinctively exclaimed, although she knew he couldn't get close to her now, she couldn't suppress her inner fear.

"Fuck!"

Ying Wuji cursed inwardly. Just now, he was somewhat surprised because these Fetal Transformation Realm experts were slightly stronger than him. He didn't expect the Non-Attack Sword Technique to actually block their siege. But judging from the situation, merely blocking their attacks was far from enough.

For a moment, his killing intent surged limitlessly.

Just from Hua Chao's reflexive exclamation, he knew how much psychological torment she had endured.

At this point, it seemed that there were only two possible outcomes: either he would die in battle and Hua Chao would be humiliated, or he would kill all these people and then be completely betrayed by Ji Su!

The deer room was built on a stone foundation, so earth manipulation techniques were useless.

This plan was too obvious, and the transformation of the Fetus was just a smokescreen.

This...

Kill!

There was no other choice but to kill!

With his right hand using the Non-Attack Sword Technique for defense, and his left hand utilizing the hidden attack effect of the Earth Shattering Seventy-Two Techniques, he had a slim chance of victory.

Wait!

Hidden attack?

Ying Wuji finally thought of a countermeasure and no longer concealed his killing intent.

Amidst the continuous sound of sword clashes, his palms quietly struck the guards, but these palm strikes seemed to lack force, giving a feeling of being neither painful nor itchy. Anyone would feel that he was struggling in his dying moments.

The battle was extremely deadlocked, and Ying Wuji seemed to be trapped in a quagmire, unable to break free no matter how he struggled. Even his abundant true energy showed signs of depletion.

This battle lasted for nearly half an hour.The sound of shouting had already started outside the deer room, but due to the material of the building, it was not very clear. Then came a loud rumbling sound, indicating that experts had started to break through the walls, but from the sound, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to get in for a while.

At this moment, the protective talisman that Hua Chao was using was also about to expire.

Wei Teng's smile became more and more sinister. "Ying Wuji, are you ready?"

Ying Wuji coldly laughed. "I'm ready!"

Immediately, his sword technique changed drastically, and a fierce sword pierced the throat of a guard.

The guard didn't expect Ying Wuji to suddenly turn from defense to offense, and quickly raised his sword to block. But in the instant of the change, he suddenly felt a burning sensation throughout his body, as if his energy was on fire, and he instantly lost control.

In just this short moment of losing control, his throat had been completely pierced.

He lay on the ground, with a gruesome wound on his neck, blood gushing out and mixing with the smell of blood and a hint of burnt flesh.

Ying Wuji turned from defense to offense, and the previously impregnable defense now had openings. In the blink of an eye, many sword wounds appeared on vital parts of his body, causing him to feel intense pain, but he didn't let up his attack, each sword strike was a killing move.

The guards who had been fierce and arrogant just now suddenly seemed unable to use their energy, and their defensive moves became extremely sluggish.

In just an instant, they were all harvested by Ying Wuji like leeks.

This sudden scene shocked everyone.

Wei Teng's subordinates instinctively took a step back.

Wei Teng's eyes widened, and when he saw Ying Wuji covered in blood, approaching him with a raised sword, his voice trembled. "You, don't come any closer!"

One person killing more than ten experts in the Nascent Soul Realm, even though they were only at the fifth or sixth level, was still incredibly shocking.

What kind of palm technique did he use? Why did those people seem like they were under a curse?

Many questions popped into Wei Teng's mind, but his entire head was filled with fear, and he couldn't think of any answers.

Ying Wuji's expression was cold and indifferent, without any mercy. In the blink of an eye, he slaughtered all of Wei Teng's subordinates, even if they cried and begged, he didn't show any mercy. These people hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul Realm, their cultivation was far inferior to Ying Wuji's, and they had almost no ability to fight back.

When he stood in front of Wei Teng, Wei Teng was already too weak to stand.

Trembling, he said, "Ying Wuji! You can't kill me, my father... ah!"

He let out a miserable scream, his face instantly pale as paper. When he looked down, he found that four of his right hand's fingers had been cut off, blood gushing out, and even the white bones inside couldn't be seen.

"What happened to your father?"

Ying Wuji squatted down and quickly sealed the acupoints on his right wrist, stopping the bleeding.

He looked at Wei Teng with a chilling smile. "What happened to your father?"

Wei Teng trembled in fear, his whole body shaking, his voice filled with a crying tone. "Let me go, our grievances are settled, my father won't blame you anymore!"

"Grievances settled?"

Ying Wuji grinned sinisterly, then swung his sword again, cutting off two fingers from Wei Teng's left hand, and stopped the bleeding in the same way.

Seeing him immediately faint from the pain, he pinched his Hegu acupoint to wake him up, smiling slyly. "But it seems like one settlement is not enough!"

"Two settlements! Two settlements!"

Wei Teng was already terrified to the core. He only hated himself for getting himself involved with a devil like Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji swung his long sword again, cutting off half of both of his feet. "What about now? Four settlements?"

Wei Teng understood. Ying Wuji had no intention of letting him live. In the midst of the almost unconscious pain, he squeezed out a few resentful syllables from between his teeth. "Just you wait! If I die, you won't live either!"

"Then wait for you to die first!"

Ying Wuji sneered, directly stuffing a piece of the table corner into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Immediately, sword after sword fell, each one cutting off a piece of flesh, causing Wei Teng to scream in agony but not die.

He had once gained a complete understanding of human anatomy from Wu Shuangxu, knowing how to deliver a fatal blow, but also knowing how to make someone suffer without being able to seek death.

Blood stained his body, making him look like a terrifying and ferocious ghost that crawled out from the depths of hell.

Hua Chao cried out, and at some point, she had torn off her protective talisman. She tried countless times to stop him because once Wei Teng was killed, there would be no turning back.

But Ying Wuji seemed to be deaf to her voice, completely ignoring her, numbly dropping sword after sword, splattering her with blood.

The sound of the walls being blasted outside grew louder and louder!

Ying Wuji felt that it was almost enough, and in Wei Teng's desperate eyes, he finally showed mercy and ended his life with a sword.

He finally let out a long breath and knelt down on the ground.

Hua Chao, as if losing her soul, also sat down.But she bit her lip, and seemed to regain a bit of clarity. She hugged Ying Wuji's head in her arms and trembled as she comforted him, "Wuji! It's not your fault! This is not on you. I will go beg Luo Yan, I will tell him that I will return to the Minister's Mansion, and he will definitely save you! It's okay! It's okay..."

Ying Wuji's terrifying appearance just now was horrifying.

But the more terrifying he looked, the more she felt heartbroken.

How much does he care about himself to be so angry to the point of losing control?

He used to... care the most about his own situation!

But now, this sudden change has destroyed everything for him.

The Wei family will definitely not let this go. Even if the Zhao family protects him, he will still be sent back to Kingdom Qian. But Kingdom Qian has Ying Wuque...

It's all because of me!

Hua Chao felt immense guilt in her heart.

"It's okay, Sister Hua Chao!"

Ying Wuji lifted his head and looked at her, forcing a smile.

"Wuji, you..."

Hua Chao was taken aback because there was no numbness in Ying Wuji's eyes. Despite the worry and fear, she could still sense his calmness.

Ying Wuji hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Besides what I'm telling you now and the palm technique I just used, no matter what the constables ask you, you must answer truthfully. That's the only way I can clear my name, understand?"

Hua Chao's breath hitched. Although she didn't understand why Ying Wuji said this, she was a very smart woman and knew that the best thing she could do now was not to drag him down.

So she nodded heavily, "Okay!"

At that moment...

"Boom!"

The one-zhang-thick iron gate exploded.

Immediately, the sound of footsteps approached rapidly, estimated to be about thirty people rushing over.

Before long, the people arrived.

The Flying Fish Guards quickly surrounded the scene, followed by a group of important figures.

There were a total of three people leading them.

One was the diplomat, Wei Qian, who was one of the Nine Ministers of the Great Li.

One was the Prime Minister, Luo Yan.

The other was the supervisor of the Kingdom Qian embassy, Thirteenth Lord. His expression was extremely calm, but his right hand held a broken sword, and his right arm trembled incessantly. Blood dripped from his tiger's mouth, indicating that he was the one who blasted open the one-zhang-thick iron gate.

Seeing the scene before them, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly.

"Ah! Brother Wei!"

Ji Su saw the horrifying state of Wei Teng and was completely stunned.

Luo Yan's face became gloomy, almost dripping with water. "What the hell is going on?"

Ying Wuji was like a person who had lost consciousness, sitting there hugging Hua Chao.

Ji Su's voice trembled, "I, I don't know what happened! I was worried that Brother Wei had made a big mistake, so I wanted to report it quickly, but I didn't expect... Young Master Wuji's strength is unexpectedly formidable."

He really didn't expect it.

Because between Ying Wuji and Wei Teng, he would rather Ying Wuji die. After all, if Wei Teng died, he would not only have no responsibility, but he would also be looked down upon by the Wei family.

But he didn't expect that in the end, it would be Ying Wuji who slaughtered everyone.

Wei Qian's face was also extremely ugly. Although Wei Teng was not his son, he still knew this nephew quite well. He was indulgent, lustful, and domineering, but he would never have the courage to touch Luo Yan's daughter. There were many suspicious aspects to this matter.

He looked at Ji Su with a gloomy expression, "Are you sure?"

Ji Su quickly pointed at the dandies who had escaped but were intercepted by the Flying Fish Guards, "Every word I said is true. If Lord Di doesn't believe me, you can ask them!"

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"Master Su didn't lie!"

One by one, their faces turned pale. In this house filled with blood and flesh, they desperately suppressed the urge to vomit.

Now, only by telling the truth can they extricate themselves from this matter.

Wei Teng went insane and abducted Hua Chao. They were afraid of being implicated and fled. When they encountered Ying Wuji breaking in, this is how things turned out. They had already said it countless times outside.

Wei Qian took a deep breath, regardless of any suspicious aspects, the situation had already developed to this point.

It involved the Minister's Mansion, the Wei family, and the Kingdom Qian's three forces. They must be extremely careful when handling this matter.

He said in a deep voice, "A misfortune for the family! Wei Teng forcefully abducted a commoner girl and deserved to die. Ying Wuji, the hostage for exchange from Kingdom Qian, indiscriminately killed twenty-seven people. He should be sent to the heavenly prison and await punishment. Bind him!"

"Hold on!"

Thirteenth Lord took a step forward, his voice trembling like a sword, making everyone's hearts tremble.

Wei Qian couldn't help but say, "Thirteenth Lord! Regardless of anything, it is an undeniable fact that Ying Wuji killed people. Even if he is the prince of Kingdom Qian, life and death rewards and punishments should be determined according to the laws of the Great Li. Are you suggesting..."

Thirteenth Lord waved his hand to interrupt, "Killing is killing. I have no intention of arguing with you! But since you also mentioned the strangeness of this matter outside, it should be handled with caution. I have two requests. First! Until the suspicious aspects of this case are clarified, no one can convict our country's prince!""Secondly, during the investigation, no one should dare to abuse the prince of our country with private punishment! If I find out... Ha! Although I, Ying Thirteen, am alone and helpless in the Kingdom Li, if I want to exchange life for life with someone, I'm afraid no one can stop me!"

"You..."

Wei Qian choked for a moment, but thinking of Ying Thirteen's once notorious reputation, he could only give up: "Everything will be as Thirteen wishes! Take him away!"

"Yes!"

The Flying Fish Guards took the order and forcibly lifted Ying Wuji.

At this moment, Ying Wuji's eyes were dull, like a puppet being led away.

Luo Yan looked at him with a complex expression, then walked over to Hua Chao, slowly squatting down.

He wanted to pat Hua Chao's back to comfort her, but his withered right hand hung in the air for a long time, and in the end, he slowly withdrew it.

He took a deep breath, as if thousands of steel spikes were stabbing in his throat, his voice was extremely hoarse: "Don't worry, I will save his life!"

"Thank you..."

Hua Chao couldn't hold back anymore, she covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

A moment later, except for the Flying Fish Guards, all personnel were evacuated, leaving only the bodies on the ground waiting for evidence collection.

This shocking incident was tightly suppressed by the Flying Fish Guards, and no wind was leaked to the public.

But in just a moment, it caused a great uproar among the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom Li.

...

Chongli Palace.

Zhao Ning was still waiting for the King Li to come out. Her mood had calmed down a bit, but she didn't expect to hear a shocking news.

"What!"

"Ying Wuji killed Wei Teng?"

"This..."

"Send the decree... No! The emperor sends the decree through me! Before the case is clear, no one is allowed to use punishment on Ying Wuji!"

"Violators! Will be punished for deceiving the emperor!"

"Also! Promote Wu Shuangxu to be in charge of this case!"

After saying that, she quickly wrote a decree and stamped it with the national seal.

After the Flying Fish Guards left, her breathing became shaky.

Investing in Ying Wuji was the most correct decision she felt she had made in a while.

Whether it was the situation of the Qianli State Exchange, the direct reform ideas, or the shocking business to solve her financial crisis.

She had already made up her mind to spare no effort to make Ying Wuji truly her own.

But now...

What exactly is going on?

What was wrong with Wei Teng that he had to target Hua Chao?

And Ying Wuji... Is Hua Chao so important to you that you have to involve yourself?

For a moment.

Zhao Ning, who used to handle mountains of government affairs in an orderly manner.

Was in chaos.
