Chapter 20 The King of Chu Benefits from Being a Fisherman

"It's interesting. I didn't expect that there is a Lianjiazi in a small village?"

Seeing the water chanting sword, the burly middle-aged man didn't care at all.

There are nearly a hundred of them, and Zhao Mu is just one person. Even if he has practiced martial arts, he cannot really threaten them.

Unless Zhao Mu is a top-notch expert, he might be able to fight with them to the death of both sides.

But how could a top-notch master appear in such a remote village?

"Boss, don't talk nonsense to him. Just kill him and enter the village. Brothers can't wait any longer."

The sly-eyed guy urged.

"Okay, let's do it, be quick with your hands and feet."

The burly middle-aged man smiled evilly, and immediately a group of bandits rushed towards Zhao Mu.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry to die? Why don't you answer a few questions for me?"

Zhao Mu shook his head and suddenly shook the water-singing sword, and the sweet sword sound echoed between heaven and earth.

The next moment, he shot quickly into the group of bandits like an arrow from a string.

"Miyu Fei Foil Sword" exerted amazing power in Zhao Mu's hands.

The seemingly soft water chanting sword enveloped Zhao Mu's body like a dense rain. The bandits' weapons were unable to break through his defense.

The tip of the sword cut through the air, and the sharp sword energy shot out, like flying flowers in the sky, easily penetrated the bodies of the bandits.

Shrill screams came one after another, and blood flowers exploded on the bandits' bodies, which was beautiful and terrifying.

Zhao Mu's killing methods are very straightforward, and each sword can kill a bandit.

So in an instant, the ground outside the woods was covered with the corpses of bandits.

The screams here also alarmed the villagers.

Soon, hundreds of villagers, as well as Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun, arrived at the entrance of the village.

Seeing Zhao Mu, who easily harvested lives among the bandits like a god of murder, the villagers were all dumbfounded.

Obviously, he didn't expect that this outsider living in his village would be so powerful.

They couldn't help but look at Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun, wondering whether these two fairies who were so beautiful that they were not as beautiful as human beings were also so powerful?

"The ultimate realm of the day after tomorrow!"

Hua Xinzi sighed: "I really miss my days in the arena. Unfortunately, we will never be able to live that kind of life."

"Yes, Jiaofangsi's methods are too vicious, and our cultivation will never be restored again."

Jiang Hongyun also sighed deeply: "But this is fine. Although life in the Jianghu is comfortable, life and death are also uncertain. It is not as stable as it is now."

"Haha, you can't live without him at all, right?"

Hua Xinzi teased.

"I can't leave you for a long time. Why, can you leave me?"

Jiang Hongyun rolled her eyes at her: "But Brother Mu really surprised me. With his qualifications, I thought at the beginning that he would never be able to enter the acquired extreme realm in his life. I didn't expect... you said that in his life, he would... Is there any chance to set foot in Xiantian?”

"I don't know. The key to being an innate master is opportunity and insight. Breakthroughs cannot be achieved by just hard work. Brother Mu..."

Hua Xinzi hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I admit that this guy can always surprise people. Now I'm not sure whether he can set foot on Xiantian."

The fierce shouts of killing gradually subsided.

Nearly a hundred bandits were killed by Zhao Mu until almost all of them turned into corpses.

Only the burly middle-aged leader was still alive, but he was already covered in blood and was trampled under Zhao Mu's feet.

"Now, can you answer my question properly?"

Zhao Mu pointed the tip of his sword at the burly middle-aged man's throat. Blood dripped from the blade and fell on the opponent's neck.

Gulu!

The burly middle-aged man swallowed his saliva, his face turned pale with fear.

He never expected that in this remote mountain village, there would be a master of the acquired extreme realm hidden.

It was a complete kill today.

As for whether he could survive... He looked at the corpses all over the place, but after all, he didn't dare to have any hope.

This guy is too cruel.

Now he just hopes that he can die quickly and not suffer any more torture.

"You...what do you want to ask?"

The burly middle-aged man asked sternly.

"Very sensible."

Zhao Mu sheathed his sword: "Tell me, what is the situation in the capital now? Has the battle for the throne concluded?"

"There are results."

"Oh, which prince has ascended the throne?"

"Not the prince, but the prince's uncle, King Chu."

"King Chu?"

Zhao Mu was a little surprised.

The King of Chu was the man who once rescued Wang Daoquan's daughter Wang Mengzhen from Jiaofangsi.

Of course, now Wang Mengzhen has become the Princess of Chu and changed her name to Zheng Meng.

The King of Chu is not the son of the emperor, but his youngest brother. He should be about the same age as Zhao Mu now.

Rumor has it that the King of Chu was always indifferent and almost never paid attention to the affairs of the court.

He acts in a very low-key manner. If you are not familiar with the royal family, you will hardly know that there is such a prince in the court.

Therefore, anyone would be surprised to hear that the King of Chu could actually seize the throne.

"That's right, it's King Chu."

The burly middle-aged man continued: "It is said that the King of Chu did not fight on the surface, but in fact he had been plotting secretly over the years, quietly winning over many courtiers, and controlling a large number of troops. Even Sun Zhengfeng, the original chief minister of the Xuanjing Department, He is from the King of Chu."

"This man has a very deep plan. Some time ago, the crown prince and other princes fought for the throne and both sides suffered heavy losses. As a result, the King of Chu suddenly launched a coup and suppressed and placed the crown prince and other princes under house arrest without much effort."

"The capital is now completely controlled by the King of Chu. The last news I heard was that the King of Chu was preparing to ascend the throne."

"It's hidden well enough."

Zhao Mu praised: "After years of planning, the King of Chu was able to deceive everyone's eyes. He can be regarded as a great leader. By the way, how is Zheng Jingren, who found the evidence of the crown prince's crime now?"

"Him?"

The burly middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "He is also a powerful character. I heard that he actually surrendered to the King of Chu a long time ago. Now he is the chief of the Xuanjing Division. He is in a high position and has great power. Many people want to curry favor with him."

"That guy, it seems that he has won this bet again."

Zhao Mu shook his head and felt that if Zheng Jingren was born in the royal family, he would probably be a character with the same ability as the King of Chu.

He looked at the burly middle-aged man, and the Yinshui sword suddenly slashed across, directly cutting the other's throat.

"Brother Liu?"

Zhao Mu turned around and looked at the villagers.

A man in his forties immediately came out: "Brother Zhao, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Thanks to you today, otherwise, the people of our Liujia Village would probably all die in the hands of these bandits."

"Nothing, since I live in our Liujia Village, of course I can't let the village be robbed."

Zhao Mu smiled and waved his hand: "But next, Brother Liu has to mobilize the villagers to quickly bury these bandits, otherwise so many bodies will be placed at the entrance of the village, sooner or later it will be a trouble."

"Yes, yes, I will quickly let everyone dig a pit to bury the bodies, just as if what happened today never happened."

The man nodded quickly, immediately called the villagers, went home to get tools and started burying the bodies.

Zhao Mu put away the Yinshui sword, and took Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun back.
