192: Kill one man in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles.

This was exactly the effect he wanted; once they lost their composure, the despicable nature of these people would be exposed.

"old bald donkey, you've been eyeing this Prince's heavenly demon zither all this time. This Prince will let you taste its power," Duan Zhengchun sneered.

Immediately, placing the heavenly demon zither before him, Duan Zhengchun gently plucked the strings.

"The guest from Zhao wears a plain hat-band, his Wu hook shines like frost and snow. His silver saddle reflects the white horse, dashing like a shooting star. Killing a man every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles. When the deed is done, he brushes his clothes and leaves, hiding his deeds and fame deep away."

As the strings were plucked, waves of invisible sound waves appeared, directly attacking Difficulty in Crossing.

Difficulty in Crossing did not dare to take the hit head-on and dodged immediately, beginning to close in on Duan Zhengchun even as he evaded.

However, the attack speed of the heavenly demon zither was too fast, not to mention it was being used by an Earth Immortal Realm Master like Duan Zhengchun.

How terrifying was that power? With Difficulty in Crossing's Early Celestial Realm strength, how could he possibly dare to take it head-on?

For a moment, Difficulty in Crossing could not get close to Duan Zhengchun at all.

"Junior Brother, I am here to help you."

At that moment, a voice rang out, followed by another old monk appearing on the field.

Together with Difficulty in Crossing, he blocked Duan Zhengchun's attacks.

The newcomer was none other than Undergoing Tribulation, one of the Three Great Divine Monks.

Undergoing Tribulation's arrival immediately caused Difficulty in Crossing's pressure to plummet; the two coordinated tacitly, facing Duan Zhengchun's attacks with much more composure than before.

However, all of this was done intentionally by Duan Zhengchun, who simply wanted to see what else these Three Great Divine Monks were capable of.

Unfortunately, while the Three Great Divine Monks' Vajra Demon-Subduing Circle could contend with a Heavenly Human Realm Peak, there were only two of them now; the other one was tied down by West Gate Blowing Snow.

He simply couldn't break away. Deliverance from Suffering was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

West Gate Blowing Snow's sword was not so easy to deal with.

Right at this moment, another figure charged into the fray; it was none other than Fast Sword Ah Fei.

"Duan Zhengchun, you killed my father! Today, I, Ah Fei, have come for revenge. Die!" Ah Fei roared, the Iron Sword in his hand fast as lightning, aiming straight for Duan Zhengchun's throat.

Looking at the charging Ah Fei, a sneer appeared at the corner of Duan Zhengchun's mouth.

He didn't care about Ah Fei at all; what he cared about was the other person, Ah Fei's sworn elder brother, Little Li Flying Dagger Li Xunhuan.

"Heh, Fast Sword Ah Fei? Since you are here, then the Little Li Tanhua should be here too, right? Why not show yourself?" Duan Zhengchun said indifferently.

"Prince Duan is indeed of extraordinary resourcefulness. Li Xunhuan greets Prince Duan," Li Xunhuan said, cupping his hands toward Duan Zhengchun.

"I have long heard that the Little Li Tanhua of the Martial World is a man of talent and handsome features. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. However, compared to this Prince, you are still a bit lacking," Duan Zhengchun said.

*Pfft...*

"Haha..."

"Prince Duan is too funny, to be able to say such thick-skinned words."

"I've seen shameless people, but never someone this shameless. Who praises themselves like that?"

Li Xunhuan was stunned, then couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

"Prince Duan must be joking. Li Xunhuan is but a commoner; I cannot compare to the Prince," Li Xunhuan said, shaking his head.

"Is Little Li Tanhua also planning to make a move?" Duan Zhengchun asked directly.

"Li Xunhuan knows he is no match for the Prince, but when a brother is in trouble, I, as the elder brother, cannot sit idly by."

"If I offend you, I ask for the Prince's forbearance," Li Xunhuan said, looking at Duan Zhengchun.

"Understandable. However, blades and swords have no eyes; I will not be polite to those who want to kill this Prince."

"When the time comes, if lives are lost by accident, this Prince will not be responsible," Duan Zhengchun said straightforwardly.

"As it should be. In a life-or-death duel, injuries are inevitable; even if one dies, one can only blame their own lack of skill and cannot complain to others," Li Xunhuan nodded.

"Good, this Prince likes talking to smart people. Since that's the case, come at me together." Duan Zhengchun was domineering and full of heroic spirit.

Li Xunhuan was no longer polite and charged forward directly.

For a time, the four Masters launched an attack on Duan Zhengchun, while Duan Zhengchun sat firmly in his armchair from beginning to end, plucking the strings and easily dealing with the four Masters.

Two of the three Shaolin Temple Great Divine Monks had the strength of the Early Celestial Realm, and Ah Fei was now also at the Peak Grandmaster Realm.

Meanwhile, Li Xunhuan had reached Grandmaster Peak strength; with his uncanny Little Li Flying Dagger, he could battle Heavenly Human Realm Masters.

With the Little Li Flying Dagger plus Ah Fei, the two of them were equivalent to one Heavenly Human Realm Master.

Adding the two Heavenly Human Realm Masters, Difficulty in Crossing and Undergoing Tribulation, it was now equivalent to three Heavenly Human Realm Masters besieging Duan Zhengchun together.

Although others wanted to make a move, a battle of this scale was simply not something they could interfere with.

They would be shaken to death by the aftershocks before they even started, and they didn't want to make a senseless sacrifice yet.

The destructive power of Heavenly Human Realm Masters was terrifying. If Duan Zhengchun hadn't been protecting the Prince's Mansion the whole time, it would likely have been completely destroyed by the aftershocks by now.

Even so, Duan Zhengchun still handled it with ease.

The sound of the zither began to change from soothing to hurried.

Facing the attacks of the four, Duan Zhengchun could easily neutralize them; his own attacks also didn't succeed, as they were all dodged by the opponents.

"I originally thought you would give this Prince a little surprise, but now it seems I overestimated you."

"You've been attacking for a long time; it's time for this Prince to counterattack."

"I just don't know if you can take it."

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he slapped the heavenly demon zither with his palm, pulled the strings lightly with his five fingers, and suddenly released them after grabbing them in his hand.

Instantly, countless sound waves rushed out.

The four didn't expect Duan Zhengchun to have such a move; they were greatly shocked and tried their best to dodge.

But they were horrified to find that they still couldn't avoid it.

Directly hit by the sound waves, the four's movements stopped abruptly, and they didn't dare move again.

They had heard of the heavenly demon zither's terror before coming; once hit, one must never move recklessly. Once you move, you might explode on the spot, leaving no bones behind.

And while Duan Zhengchun launched this strike, Li Xunhuan also seized the opportunity to throw his Flying Dagger.

He timed it very accurately; this was exactly when Duan Zhengchun's strength was momentarily spent, and dodging his Flying Dagger should have been impossible.

Just as Li Xunhuan thought, Duan Zhengchun was indeed somewhat spent, but with his strength, dodging this dagger was very simple.

However, he did not intend to dodge; at the moment the Flying Dagger drew near, a golden light suddenly lit up on the surface of Duan Zhengchun's body.

*Ding...*

With a crisp sound, Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger was directly bounced away.

This scene caused Li Xunhuan's expression to change drastically.

He didn't expect that the Flying Dagger he threw with all his strength couldn't even break Duan Zhengchun's defense. How could they fight this?

With this physique, even without the heavenly demon zither, they were no match for him.

At this moment, Li Xunhuan knew they had lost, lost completely. However, he did not regret it, only felt some regret.

That was regret for his Cousin; he owed his Cousin too much, and it was a thorn in his heart.

Now that he was finally going to die, all of this would also vanish like smoke.

After being repelled by Duan Zhengchun's strike, Ah Fei was about to rush forward but was pulled back by Li Xunhuan.

"Ah Fei, don't move," Li Xunhuan said with a solemn expression.

"Big Brother, don't stop me, I can still fight!" Ah Fei said emotionally.
