35: Chapter 35 Hundred Refined Army? High-level martial artists? This is the number of enemies I want!
Time turned back to half an incense stick ago.
Prefecture Governors Estate.
"Lord Shang! That fiend... He is rapidly rushing toward the outside of the estate!"
A servant flurriedly rushed into the main hall of the Prefecture Governors Estate, reporting to Shang Youcai who was sitting on the grand master chair.
Shang Youcai's expression was gloomy, and he remained silent.
As the governor of a prefecture, he was actually threatened by someone in broad daylight, declaring they would kill their way into his estate!
This could truly be called an unprecedented humiliation!
However...
According to the news received, that fiend who wanted to slaughter his way into his estate possessed extremely formidable martial prowess and heaven-defying strength, far from being an ordinary Martial Artist!
Even the several third-rate Martial Artists from various martial arts halls who joined forces to crusade against the fiend were not a match for the fiend in a single move.
That fiend was probably already approaching the first-rate Martial Artist Realm!
Within the current Hongyan Prefecture, perhaps only the retired Old Hall Master of the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall could confront him head-on!
Upon hearing previously that the fiend's target was him, Shang Youcai quickly sent people to invite that Old Hall Master of the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall.
It would still take some time for the Old Hall Master to rush from the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall to his Prefecture Governors Estate.
Fortunately, after slaughtering his way into the city, that fiend did not hurriedly rush to his Prefecture Governors Estate.
Instead, he leisurely killed the Martial Artists blocking his path as if taking a stroll in a courtyard.
Without concealing his whereabouts in the slightest, he let Shang Youcai know in advance that he was the fiend's target.
The fiend's arrogance happened to give Shang Youcai time to invite the Old Hall Master and dispatch the Bailian Army in the city to rush to the Prefecture Governors Estate to protect him!
As long as the first-rate Martial Artist Old Hall Master and the Bailian Army hurried over to guard him.
No matter how heaven-defying the fiend's strength was, it was absolutely impossible for him to harm him!
It was just that.
The moment he thought of that fiend breaking into the city without concealing his goal to kill him, a trace of anger couldn't help but rise in Shang Youcai's heart!
What did the fiend's actions indicate?
It indicated that he didn't take him, a prefecture governor, seriously at all!
Previously, Shang Youcai learned from his scouts that the fiend claimed to be named Qin Muyuan, hailing from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect.
Upon hearing this name, Shang Youcai was still pondering why Qin Muyuan was coming after him.
It wasn't until his concubine reminded him that Shang Youcai remembered this Qin Muyuan... was the very person who killed his twenty-third grandson in Qinghua County!
Although his twenty-third grandson looked poorly and wasn't favored by him.
No matter what, he was still his grandson; for someone to dare kill him was to slap him, the prefecture governor, in the face!
Then as the prefecture governor, applying thunderous methods to avenge his grandson should be only natural and justified, shouldn't it?
Since Qin Muyuan killed his grandson, he should have obediently accepted death!
As a result, this scoundrel not only refused to wait for death with bound hands, but instead came to Hongyan Prefecture, intending to cut down Shang Youcai.
It could be said to be extremely arrogant!
As the prefecture governor, Shang Youcai had never suffered such humiliation since taking office!
"When the Old Hall Master and the Bailian Army arrive, I will surely chop you into ten thousand pieces to avenge the humiliation of my reputation!"
Shang Youcai swore with a gloomy and fierce expression.
"Lord Shang! The Old Hall Master has arrived! The Bailian Army has also reached outside the estate!" At this time, the servant rushed into the main hall again, reporting to Shang Youcai.
Hearing this, Shang Youcai's expression lit up with joy, and the anxiety in his heart originally caused by Qin Muyuan's invasion instantly vanished.
Replaced by the anticipation of hacking Qin Muyuan into ten thousand pieces.
"Quickly invite the Old Hall Master in! In addition, also invite Commander Wen of the Bailian Army in!"
Shang Youcai hurriedly said to the servant.
...
Half an incense stick later.
Fairy Yushui landed atop an exquisite pavilion surrounding the Prefecture Governors Estate of Hongyan Prefecture.
Her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly lifted as her gaze stared at the nearly three hundred soldiers below, as well as the numerous martial arts hall Martial Artists standing before the troop.
Among them, there was one first-rate Martial Artist, three second-rate Martial Artists, and as many as over a dozen third-rate Martial Artists.
Such a configuration could be described as an orderly military force crowded with experts.
Within the mortal world, this was already considered quite a remarkable strength.
And the enemy they had to face was merely this single Martial Artist, Qin Muyuan.
Of course, there was also a wolf demon by Qin Muyuan's side.
But in Fairy Yushui's heart, the wolf demon couldn't even be counted as a third-rate Martial Artist, and completely failed to enter her Dharma Eye, so she directly ignored it.
Fairy Yushui turned her eyes and looked across from the military force and the martial arts hall experts, toward that blood-soaked figure.
She saw that upon discovering so many soldiers and Martial Artists waiting for him, Qin Muyuan not only showed no panic, but instead revealed an excited expression on his face.
This scene made Fairy Yushui frown once more:
"He actually did this on purpose?"
Even if Qin Muyuan had mastered lightning magic learned from who knows where, facing such a massive number of enemies at this moment, he would still be powerless.
Even if his strength reached the first-rate Martial Artist Realm, the prefecture governor's side likewise had an old man who was a first-rate Martial Artist.
Even if he could kill this first-rate Martial Artist old man, he would still have to face multiple second-rate Martial Artists and third-rate Martial Artists, as well as an army of hundreds of people.
Even by purely wearing him down, they could exhaust Qin Muyuan's physical strength and internal force!
"This brat is far too arrogant. Although his talent is decent, his Heart-Nature is truly poor."
Fairy Yushui sighed and slightly shook her head.
It seemed that it was better not to hold expectations for such a remote land devoid of spiritual energy, where even the Legacy of Immortal Cultivators was absent, and very few people even knew of the existence of Immortal Cultivators.
Even if there were some Martial Cultivator seeds with decent talent, because of their narrow vision and mediocre Heart-Nature, they ultimately weren't worth her investing too much energy into.
"I originally wanted to sign a ninth-rank warrior contract with him, but now it seems... given his Heart-Nature, the ninth rank still overestimates him."
Fairy Yushui thought to herself.
If this Qin Muyuan could behead that first-rate Martial Artist and then defeat several second-rate Martial Artists, then she could sign an unranked warrior contract with him.
And if he couldn't even behead a first-rate Martial Artist... then he might as well just die right in front of the Prefecture Governors Estate gates.
With insufficient strength yet lacking restraint, taking him as her warrior would only be a waste.
With such disposition, he couldn't even act as ordinary cannon fodder.
Even an unranked warrior contract wasn't worth her investing in him.
...
In front of the Prefecture Governors Estate.
Looking at the fully armored army of a hundred men in front of him, along with those dozen or so Martial Artists with towering Aura, Qin Muyuan suddenly chuckled.
"This is more like it! This is the exact number of enemies I wanted!"
"Fiend!"
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man walked out from the Prefecture Governors Estate, dressed in luxurious and ornate attire, sporting a goatee, and carrying the Aura of a superior.
Saying it was the Aura of a superior, but in fact, according to Qin Muyuan's words, it was merely so-called "overflowing superiority."
Seeing this middle-aged man stepping out of the Prefecture Governors Estate in quick strides, all the surrounding Martial Artists and Bailian Army soldiers bowed their heads and shouted in unison:
"Prefecture Governor Shang!"
Shang Youcai gave a slight nod and walked to the front of the military array. With a posture of holding victory in his grasp, he raised his head and looked down disdainfully at Qin Muyuan:
"Fiend! Today, the formidable Bailian Army and powerful Martial Artists are present here. Do you know your crimes!?"
