Chapter 203 - Borrowing Power (1/2)

“Zhuo Fan, you rotten punk, today I will bury you!”

Wailing like a banshee, You Wanshan glared at Zhuo Fan with bloodshot eyes. Yan Bogong and Lin Rufeng were also releasing their bloodthirst.

Long Yifey and Xie Xiaofeng held their guard up. Since Zhuo Fan was safe, of course they’d to jump to his rescue. The same thought ran through Chu Bijun’s mind as well. For Drifting Flowers Edifice’s benefit, Zhuo Fan had to come out unharmed.

It all became a stand off in an instant, as six house lords surrounded Zhuo Fan as they were on guard regarding each other’s reaction; each out of their own selfish desire. Meanwhile, Zhuo Fan was peachy, taking but a light jump backward and through the city gates. He then pointed at You Wanshan in taunt, “You old farts, come and get me if you have the guts! You won’t get to touch a single hair of mine regardless of where we’d been. That goes especially here, in my domain. Well, any takers?”

“Zhuo Fan!”

You Wanshan had long lost his patience with Zhuo Fan’s taunts, roaring as he charged after him with the others.

With so many Profound Heaven experts burning to eat his heart out, even Zhuo Fan felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Chu Bijun’s group rushed to block them, but You Wanshan’s team were long since prepared.

“Rainbow Cloud Palm!”

Yan Bogong was the furthest behind, turning around and spreading his arms. The seven colored mists flew at Chu Bijun and others, making the stop and withdraw in panic.

“Split up!”

“Ha-ha-ha, quite clever!” Yan Bogong laughed with pride. But seeing the rest of You Wanshan’s group going after Zhuo Fan, the anxiety ramped up in Chu Bijun.

Regardless how outstanding Zhuo Fan was, or how many Profound Heaven experts he got under his belt, none of them believed it to be from a head on fight, but earned through cunning and subterfuge. This time, You Wanshan’s team was all going after him.

In this desperate situation, even with Zhuo Fan’s godly skills, his chance at life would be slim at best.

Yet, for some odd reason, Zhuo Fan’s was as relaxed as ever, even having time to throw them his trademark evil grin.

This sounded off an alarm in the enraged mind of You Wanshan. As to why, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, with a booming sound, a bluish light landed smack in the center of Windgaze City’s gates. You Wanshan’s team was in mid flight when a wave of bluish power erupted from the light and sending them barreling.

When they recovered, they looked upon a ten foot long bluish crescent blade, having seven foot long hilt engraved with a blue dragon and a three foot long blade shooting blinding red rays. It spoke of its thirst of tasting the blood of everyone it touched.

And on the blade was a shimmering silver dragon image.

You Wanshan’s team cried in fear, “6th-grade spiritual weapon, Dragonslaying Crescent Blade!”

“Ha-ha-ha, You Wanshan, I didn’t think you’d recognize my trusted battle companion!” An aged voice boomed, followed by Dugu Zhantian floating next to the crescent blade.

Picking it up as if it was nothing, the blade started ringing out dragonic roars.

The Four Tigers of Tianyu brought Luo Yunhai to Zhuo Fan. They were glaring at You Wanshan’s team, releasing their imposing auras all the while.

Scalp numb, You Wanshan never considered this scenario. For Tianyu’s great Marshal, God of War Dugu Zhantian, to descend upon Windgaze City, a backwater town.

Chu Bijun’s group were slackjawed from the sudden turn of events.

“Marshal, this is between us and the punk. I hope you won’t meddle!” You Wanshan’s brow trembled, his mood sinking dangerously low.

Making a half swing with the blade, Dugu Zhantian roared, “Ha-ha-ha, that’s rich! The Emperor ordered me to defend Windgaze City, and you’re implying your casual words carry more weight than His Majesty’s? Humph, You Wanshan, the seven houses’ prestige must have gotten to your head and forgot your place!”

“What, the Emperor’s edict?”

You Wanshan shuddered, his face white as paper. The hearts of the other house leaders hit rock bottom.

The whole purpose of Windgaze City operation was to test the imperial family’s bottom line. If the Luo clan fell to ruins and the imperial family gave a cold shoulder, then they’d ramp up their already obnoxious arrogance to swallow whole every other houses while completely disregarding the imperial family.

But now they met face to face with God of War Dugu Zhantian of the frontier. This was Emperor’s warning to the seven houses, to stay in line.

This time, they really went and groped a tiger’s butt!

You Wanshan sighed, filled with grievances. He didn’t want to grope anything, but the Regent Estate made him.

Now that the tiger left the mountain, Regent Estate would shirk off the blame, falling in the background, while letting them take the fall. The emperor would then make a harsh example of these three houses.

The three house leaders looked at each other’s eyes, ready to explode in tears.

Chu Bijun’s group was elated at their misery. For the first time in a century, the imperial family stood their ground. This should curb Regent Estate’s arrogance in the future.

At the very least, it would greatly delay their plan to swallow the seven houses.
