All ten guards of the Dragon King had been trained by the old saberman Tuo Nengya. They took the Dragon King's hint and immediately centered around Chu Nanping to protect him, which surprised everyone.

Old Man Mu was excluded from the circle. He ran around the protective circle, hoping to find a gap. But it was so closely surrounded that not only was he unable to break in but he was also forced to retreat several steps under the pressure of the guards' grand formation.

”Whoa, come on. We're all on the same side. Dragon King, are you offering me to King Rizhu as a gift? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I can commit suicide by myself. Wild Horse, do you still remember? I even did back trampling for you.”

The thirteen kung fu experts of King Shengri were also very surprised. Although the circle of the ten guards was watertight, it was completely defensive, which meant that the attackers left were just the Dragon King and the useless Old Man Mu.

Iron Harrier was presumed to be the leader of the small group, and his tactics were simple. The five elders of the Jade Pure Sect were to join forces with the disciples of the Essence Pavilion to detain the Dragon King while the rest of the people tried to finish their goal of killing the seven guards as quickly as possible. As for Wild Horse, he could do whatever he wanted to hunt down Old Man Mu.

The Dragon King's deployment slightly upset his plan. Although the martial arts skills of the ten guards were not first-rate, they became much more powerful with the sword formation and therefore, brought trouble to his rapid annihilation plan. He winked at the five elders of the Jade Pure Sect to signal them to join in on the siege of the guards while he himself would fight alone with the Dragon King.

Although he had been defeated by the frosty Qi in the competition of internal energy, Iron Harrier was still very confident. He had been observing the Dragon King's saber techniques for the first several games and felt that he held an advantage over the Dragon King, or at least he could fight with him for a while.

Unfortunately, although King Shengri's impromptu team was full of experts, it was a mob when they were all gathered together. Nobody cared about Iron Harrier's hints at all.

The five elders of the Jade Pure Sect, who were determined to render the greatest service, were unwilling to change their target. So they pretended not to understand Iron Harrier's eyes and rushed at the Dragon King at the same time.

The two hunchbacks of the Essence Pavilion also changed their original plan and rushed at the guards, aiming for Chu Nanping in the center. They jumped around with their crutches and tried to break through the protective circle but just ended up wasting their time.

The three warriors of King Shengri understood their lord's present state, so they set their mind on pleasing the Essence Pavilion and following the hunchbacks to jump up and down.

Only Silver Condor, another wing guard of the Khan, followed the plan and directly rushed at the guards, but he was impeded on his way. No one knew whether they had done so intentionally or not, but Old Man Mu and Wild Horse, one running as the other pursued, always flashed in front of him.

Gu Shenwei had realized his purpose of baiting the two hunchbacks through the protection of Chu Nanping.

For the Essence Pavilion, the importance of Chu Nanping was no less than that of Immortal Peng's 'legacy.' The Dragon King suddenly putting him under close protection meant that he would never give up the boy easily. As expected, the two hunchbacks were fooled, and they persisted in trying to take Chu Nanping away on the spot.

Gu Shenwei's move was likely to have no effect on ordinary people because as long as the other side randomly killed seven people, they would win and by that time, the Dragon King could only hand over the legacy and the young swordsman as agreed. Why would they resort to snatching right away?

But the minds of the disciples of the Essence Pavilion were different from that of ordinary people. The fact that they were good at confusing others' mind actually made them bad at understanding their own. Their thought process was simple and direct: Since the Dragon King was protecting Chu Nanping, it meant that he didn't want to hand him over, so they must grab him in advance.

The thirteen experts of King Shengri were divided into three or four groups and each fought on their own. Gu Shenwei refused to fight with any of them. Like Old Man Mu, he also ran and leaped around the ten guards' sword formation, and the ones following him were the five elders of the Jade Pure Sect.

”What do you mean, Dragon King?” Old Man Mu shouted loudly.

”Old Man Mu, I'll drive you out of the Dragon Army if you fail to kill two people,” said Gu Shenwei as they passed each other by.

Old Man Mu paused for a moment before suddenly turning around to catch up with the Dragon King, during which he easily slipped past Wild Horse. ”You found out?”

”Humph.”

”What on earth gave me away?”

As he spoke, Old Man Mu didn't slow down. No matter how the Dragon King changed directions he could keep abreast of him. He wasn't like a man whose power had been seriously damaged at all. Although the situation was severe, he had to figure out the problem.

The poor five elders of the Jade Pure Sect who had average lightness skills scattered and wanted to surround the Dragon King but always failed when they were on the verge of success.

Wild Horse was in hot pursuit but he misjudged every now and then. When Old Man Mu and the Dragon King made sharp turns, he continued moving forward and would occasionally bump into his partners.

Gu Shenwei launched a feint attack at Iron Harrier and Silver Condor to prevent the two from approaching the sword formation and then leaped away quickly before he found time to reply Old Man Mu. ”You are full of flaws.”

”What?” Old Man Mu didn't understand.”

”Would you have dared to take Shangguan Fei to the forbidden zone if you were powerless?”

”Uh … It's really not like me at second thought. Heh heh, but I might be influenced by the good girl and change myself.”

Gu Shenwei hummed again. Old Man Mu would never change. In order to heal himself, Old Man Mu had lived in seclusion for more than a dozen years without revealing any news. For a person who could tolerate anything to ensure his own safety, he would not risk his life unless he had something secure to rely on.

He had claimed that he had little power left after being tortured by the five elders of the Jade Pure Sect but right after, he had actively gone into a place difficult to reach with the unreliable Shangguan Fei. His change was a little too much if everything he had said was true.
