258: Unparalleled City, Unrivaled

Instantly, he felt like he had lost control.

He raised the blade in his hand and slashed at the people around him, completely without order.

Heartless turned to look in another direction, red light flickering in his eyes; those caught by his gaze were all controlled by the Heart Demon Lure.

For a moment, the scene fell into complete chaos.

The assassins hidden in the shadows also rushed out, their target being Tang Lian.

Tang Lian was originally fighting that rugged man, and the sudden appearance of so many people instantly increased the pressure on him.

Sikong Qianluo also knew that she couldn't stay idle at this time.

She immediately took her long spear and joined the battle, helping Tang Lian fend off those assassins.

Tang Lian's pressure eased significantly, while Lei Wujie remained still because he sensed even stronger Masters present.

The other party had not yet made a move, so he was waiting for them to act.

At this moment, a childish voice rang out at the entrance.

Then, a young boy carrying a massive sword casket flew into the center of the scene.

Wushuang of Peerless City, carrying the Unrivaled Sword Casket.

"Yo... it's so lively here. If I weren't part of such a lively scene, wouldn't it be too boring?" Wushuang's tone was full of mockery.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to speak so boastfully here?"

"Peerless City, Wushuang..."

Wushuang crossed his arms over his chest, looking proud and contemptuous at the speaker.

Hearing the words 'Peerless City', the speaker's expression changed instantly.

"I didn't expect someone from Peerless City to show up. Could the thing that kid is carrying be the Unrivaled Sword Casket?"

"It's very likely. Rumor has it that a young Genius recently appeared in Peerless City who, despite his age, can open the Unrivaled Sword Casket and perform the legendary Flying Sword Technique."

"Looking at this Aura, it must be true."

When Lady Tian Rui saw Wushuang, she was surprised.

She hadn't expected someone from Peerless City to arrive at this time.

This golden coffin really is a curse, attracting so many people to fight for it.

Seeing the chaos below but not spotting his target, Wushuang was confused.

Wasn't it said that Tang Lian and the others had already arrived at the Beauty Manor in Sangu City with the golden coffin?

Why was he here, and Tang Lian was here, but the golden coffin was gone?

"Where is the golden coffin? Why don't I see it?" Wushuang frowned.

"Hehe... little boy, there's no golden coffin here. You've come to the wrong place." Lady Tian Rui looked at Wushuang with a smile.

"How is that possible? Tang Lian and the others are right here, and they are responsible for escorting the golden coffin. If they are here, how can the golden coffin not be here?" Wushuang said, frowning.

"Everyone present saw it; when Tang Lian appeared, there was no golden coffin. As for where the golden coffin is, that's unclear," Lady Tian Rui said, spreading her hands.

"In that case, I'll just have to ask clearly to find out."

Wushuang looked at Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo, who were in the middle of the melee.

"Qingshuang, Yunsuo..."

Wushuang patted the sword casket, and it immediately opened, two short swords flying out directly toward the assassins.

He would deal with these assassins first before dealing with Tang Lian.

Those assassins never expected someone to launch a sneak attack.

Before they could react, their throats were pierced by the Flying Swords.

Soon, the assassins from the unknown factions were all dealt with by Wushuang.

Now only the two assassins fighting Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo remained.

These two were the strongest among the assassins, at the Peak Innate Realm.

Seeing their people killed so quickly, they were furious.

However, there was nothing they could do; they were both tied down. They originally thought that bringing so many people, along with two Peak Innate Realm Masters, would make it easy to take down Tang Lian.

Unexpectedly, so many Masters had appeared.

This little kid was actually so powerful, killing so many of their people as soon as he acted.

"Damn it, the target is too tough. Retreat..."

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the rugged man immediately prepared to retreat.

However, how could Tang Lian let him leave so easily? He immediately exerted his full strength, seized the opportunity, and instantly fired his hidden weapons.

*Puff...*

The rugged man had no time to react and was shot through the throat by the hidden weapon.

Sikong Qianluo was not to be outdone; she immediately unleashed a killing move, piercing the opponent's chest with a single spear thrust.

At the same time, she tilted her head toward Tang Lian, looking triumphant.

However, Tang Lian couldn't force a smile; he looked at Wushuang with a solemn expression.

"You are Tang Lian? The Tang Clan's Senior Brother?" Wushuang looked at Tang Lian, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He had already seen Tang Lian's strength—half a foot into the Grandmaster level, quite a bit behind himself. If he were to act, it would be a bit like bullying.

"Your Excellency, who are you? We don't know each other, do we?" Tang Lian looked at Wushuang with a frown.

"Peerless City, Wushuang. Hand over the golden coffin, and I will ensure your safety today." Wushuang looked at Tang Lian with an arrogant and domineering tone.

"golden coffin? What golden coffin? The golden coffin is no longer in my hands; you've found the wrong person." Tang Lian shook his head.

"Impossible. The information can't be wrong, unless you've hidden the golden coffin."

"I advise you to speak honestly. Otherwise, when we start fighting later, you'll be the one suffering."

"I, Wushuang, do not like to bully the weak. You are not my match, so you'd better tell me the whereabouts of the golden coffin."

Wushuang's tone was full of confidence, his attitude aloof and domineering.

He had such confidence; having entered the Jianghu at seventeen, he was the greatest Genius Peerless City had seen in a century.

Upon entering the Jianghu, his strength had already reached the Carefree Heaven Realm, which was equivalent to the strength of a Great Grandmaster.

A seventeen-year-old Great Grandmaster was a rarity even across the entire Nine Provinces Continent.

He had the right to be proud and possessed such confidence.

When Wushuang moved just now, Lei Wujie had already discovered the other's strength—the same as his own, the Initial Grandmaster Realm.

Moreover, the other's Flying Sword Technique made his eyes light up.

Seeing the other party being so aggressive, he felt very displeased.

"Hey, kid, didn't your elders tell you not to be so arrogant?" Lei Wujie looked at Wushuang with equal arrogance.

"Who are you? How dare you speak to me like that?" Wushuang's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lei Wujie.

Instantly, Wushuang saw Lei Wujie's strength—the Grandmaster Realm.

Seeing Lei Wujie's strength, Wushuang's eyes lit up; finally, there was someone of comparable strength.

This trip really wasn't in vain.

"Lei Family Fort, Lei Wujie..." Lei Wujie introduced himself with a proud look.

"Lei Family Fort? Lei Wujie? Who is Lei Hong to you?" Wushuang looked at Lei Wujie in surprise.

"That's my father. What? Are you scared? If you're scared, then leave quickly, and I'll act as if you never said those words."

"Otherwise, I'm going to have to spank your bottom." Lei Wujie looked at Wushuang with a mischievous grin.

Hearing Lei Wujie's tone, which sounded like he was lecturing a child, Wushuang's face instantly turned grim.

"Kid, don't you know that trouble comes from the mouth?"

"To dare speak to this Young Master like that... let me see what strength you have." After Wushuang finished speaking, he instantly moved.

"Yunsuo, Qingshuang."

As his voice fell, two Flying Swords stabbed toward Lei Wujie.
