Chapter 20 The King of Chu who profited 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 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 astonishing power in Zhao Mu's hands.

     The seemingly flimsy 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 simple, 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 whole life. I didn't expect...you said that in this life, he would... Is there any chance to set foot on Xiantian?"

     "I don't know. The key to being an innate master is opportunity and understanding. 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 everywhere, 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 Princess 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 don't know the royal family very well, 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 person's plan is too deep. Not long ago, the prince and other princes fought for the throne, and both sides lost. As a result, the King of Chu suddenly launched a coup, and with almost no effort, he suppressed the prince and other princes and put them all under house arrest."

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

     "It's hidden deep enough."

     Zhao Mu exclaimed: "After many years of planning, he succeeded to the throne. This King of Chu can deceive everyone's eyes. He can be regarded as a great king. By the way, what happened to Zheng Jingren who found the evidence of the prince's crime?"

     "he?"

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

     "That guy, it seems he won the bet again this time."

     Zhao Mu shook his head, feeling that if Zheng Jingren was born in the royal family, he would probably be as capable as the King of Chu.

     He looked at the burly middle-aged man, and the water-singing sword suddenly passed by, directly slicing the other man's throat.

     "Brother Liu?"

     Zhao Mu looked back at the villagers.

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

     "It's 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 bury these bandits quickly, otherwise there will be trouble sooner or later with so many corpses at the entrance of the village."

     "Yes, yes, I quickly asked everyone to dig a hole and bury the body, as if what happened today never happened."

     The man nodded quickly and immediately called the villagers to go home and get tools to start burying the body.

     Zhao Mu put away his water chanting sword and took Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun back.
