Dawn had barely broken and the morning sun had not yet risen. In the prefecture city of Donghe, influential figures and well-informed powers were awaiting news from the government office.

Common folk and petty traders were already starting to prepare for a new day.

At this moment, the sound of bustling footsteps echoed throughout the alleys and streets.

“The imperial court has ordered the arrest of the heretics of the Tianmu cult. Everyone must stay indoors! Anyone who ventures out will be presumed to be a traitor of the Tianmu cult and punished accordingly!”

In an instant, the citizens of Donghe became anxious, locking their doors. As they listened to the footsteps outside and peered through the cracks in their windows at the squads of soldiers passing by armed with weapons, they felt frightened.

Was turmoil about to ensue again?

The heavy footsteps sounded on the streets as soldiers clad in armor and wielding weapons besieged the government office.

The battle had already begun. Inside the government office, Kou Ruozhi, the Think Tank, and twelve other top-tier warriors and the County Magistrate were staring at the army outside, their faces grave.

“Strategist Kou, it seems Jiang Pingshan had planned an ambush. He aims to annihilate us all!”

The County Magistrate wore a heavy expression.

“There’s a traitor in the cult. We’ve been exposed. Look, that’s the Shenwei Army!”

Kou Ruozhi, however, didn’t seem panicked as he pointed with his feathered fan.

On the main street of the prefecture city, an army of heavy-armored soldiers, armed with lances and riding armored warhorses, was charging forward. The followers of the Tianmu cult were like paper dolls before them.

Even the dozen or so top-tier masters who charged together eventually fell under their lances.

This was the Qi Country’s prestigious Shenwei Army!

The County Magistrate gasped with shock. “They’ve dispatched the Shenwei Army to Donghe. Does this mean the imperial court of Qi Country knew of our cult’s plot beforehand?

“This time, after the resolution of the princes’ struggle, they are beginning the purge against the Xu Family, luring us here to be killed!”

Kou Ruozhi chuckled coldly. “The old Qi Emperor is indeed incompetent, but he still has one or two capable men under him. Thinking they can trap and kill us though, how naive.”

“Let’s go. Now we will see how the Xu Family reacts.”

Kou Ruozhi turned around and walked away, followed by the others.

“The Shenwei Army… Let’s wait and see if Xu Yan is superior, or if the Shenwei Army is stronger.”

Kou Ruozhi muttered to himself, leading the group into an underground tunnel and leaving the government office.

At this moment, the battle in the government office had nearly ended with the Tianmu cult disciples being decimated.

…

Back in the Xu Family residence, Pharmacist Pan and a group of more than ten people had returned.

“Our young master has truly cultivated the unparalleled divine skill. It’s truly unbelievable. The Xu Family is safe!”

Pharmacist Pan exclaimed.

“Elder Pan, after Xu Yan leaves, the safety of the Xu Family will depend on you.”

Xu Junhe let out a sigh.

Chief Chen and the other Protectors were dismissed by him.

The dozen or so masters brought by Pharmacist Pan were his trusted confidants, trained by him for years. They could even be considered as his secret weapon.

Originally, they were meant to protect Xu Yan during his escape from Qi Country. Now that they won’t be needed for that, they were naturally left to protect him and his wife’s safety.

“Mister, rest assured!”

Pharmacist Pan nodded.

Rumble!

The ground started shaking as a row of horsemen armed with lances and swords were charging down the street.

At the same time, a voice resonated.

“Xu Junhe, stop resisting in vain. Surrender now, and perhaps you can save your life.”

It was Jiang Pingshan’s voice.

Xu Junhe and his group walked out of the Xu Family’s front door.

“The Shenwei Army!”

Pharmacist Pan said solemnly.

Xu Junhe took a deep breath and turned to Xu Yan. “Yan’er, are you sure you can handle this? If you’re not sure, run, don’t fight to the death!”

Xu Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement. His fighting spirit was soaring. Ever since he practiced martial arts, he’d never had a worthy opponent.

He’d also never had the chance to truly experience a fight.

Now, the chance to let loose had finally arrived!

The Qi Country’s Prestigious Army, renowned for their might, would today face the world’s finest elite army.

“Father, don’t worry, these people are nothing but worthless rabble in my eyes!”

Having said this, he leaped skywards as if he were a falling leaf, lightly floating forward with the wind.

“Household matters of the old Emperor Qi have unjustly implicated the innocent. Is it easy for our Xu Family to conduct business? They actually dare to raid our home, slapping the charge of rebellion on our Xu Family. Today, I, Xu Yan, will personally experience the purported might of this Prestigious Army and see for myself, their true strength.”

His voice resonated powerfully, like a thunderclap, echoing in the streets.

The residence of the Xu Family was located in the core area of the prefecture city, where only the rich or the noble resided.

At this moment, people watched from the loft windows which were cracked open a smidgen, their gaze fixated on the Xu’s residence and the Prestigious Army in the streets.

Upon hearing Xu Yan’s words, they were all shocked to their core.

“The wise Xu Junhe has spawned a foolish son, now he’s not going to survive!”

“They say that Xu Yan’s brain doesn’t work well, but it looks like it’s more than just that – he’s outright courting death!”

The people who secretly watched the scene couldn’t help but get emotional.

“He’s wildly audacious!”

“This Xu Yan is grossly defiant; he needs to be punished!”

A furious roar came from the rear of the troop.

“Charge!”

With the command, the ground quivered under the thunderous rumble.

The Prestigious Army, with spears upright and armor glistening coldly, rushed towards the Xu residence like a terrifying torrent, directly charging at Xu Yan.

“Bring it on!”

Xu Yan roared as his blood churned, a gigantic crimson dragon coiling around him. As he pushed out with both palms, two immense dragons came crashing forth.

Those on the lofts, watching the people on the streets, were now horror-struck.

They saw a colossal crimson dragon coiled around Xu Yan, and then two identical dragons burst forth from his palms, directly blasting towards the attacking Prestigious Army.

From the bird’s eye view, it was seen that the two giant dragons, with a terrifying surge of energy, were assaulting the incoming Prestigious Army like a devastating flood.

Boom!

The attack from the Descending Dragon Palm was formidable. In an instant, the soldiers and their horses were swept off their feet, tumbling onto the ground.

Instead of retreating, Xu Yan surged forward, brandishing his arms, wave after wave of the Descending Dragon Palm Force was unleashed. The crimson dragons coiled and attacked on the street, instantly overturning the Prestigious Army’s charge.

Boom!

The shops on either side of the street were shattered by the flying horses.

One by one, the armor-clad Prestigious Army soldiers, utterly incapable of resisting, were flung into the air and smashed into the shops.

“This…this…”

“Impossible! It must be an illusion!”

“Has the foolish son of Xu Junhe actually found a master and learned otherworldly martial arts?”

“Aren’t these stories all false?”

Everyone who witnessed this scene was completely awestruck.

They could hardly believe that this was real.

The crimson dragon was breathtakingly formidable, belying the capability of human power.

Xu Yan, single-handedly repelled the Prestigious Army’s charge.

How incredible! The ‘Prestigious Army’ of Qi Country, the cream of the crop, deemed the defensive power of the country – were they actually as weak as paper?

The foolish son of the Xu family, known for his obsession with finding hidden world masters, was no secret and had been a subject of ridicule in East River County quite a few times.

Laughing at the foolish son of Xu’s family, believing his brain didn’t work, naively having faith in the tales and legends.

But the result!

Perhaps it was they who were the fools?!

Boom!

A shop was blown open, and screams of terror spewed out from within. Drawing back his Descending Dragon Palm, Xu Yan looked at the street littered with chaos and the fallen soldiers of the Prestigious Army.

Xu Yan coldly declared, “Jiang Pingshan, your Prestigious Army can’t fully utilize its strength within the city. If your defeat here isn’t convincing enough, then let’s take it outside the city. I won’t mind accompanying till the end!”
