With a faint smile, Tan Xiu walked to the middle of the duo and turned to look at the two seriously injured men on the ground. Then, he said unhurriedly, "You two should not be fools since you can be trained as Pawns by that Palace Master. You should be aware of the situation after seeing the last move, right? "
Daikura Sakuragi and Ozawa struggled to crawl up from the ground. After exchanging a quick look, Daikura stared at Tan Xiu and asked, "Who the hell are you?"
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he hooked his finger at Kuwako Yamamoto not far away. After she came before him, he gently hugged her shoulder and said to them with a faint smile, "Since you're both going to die today, then I'll satisfy your curiosity. Kuwako, show them your appearance. "
Kuwako faintly smiled and changed her facial muscles according to the disguise technique Tan Xiu taught her. Eventually, she restored her original appearance.
"I trust you two have been well since we last met!"
"Kuwako Yamamoto?"
"It's you?"
Daikura Sakuragi and Ozawa were shocked at the same time. They stared at Kuwako and realized that they seemed to have fallen into a trap set by the other party.
Daikura Sakuragi angrily said, "Kuwako Yamamoto, Palace Master has ordered Osashi Kitagishi to capture you and also sent my superior, Yuji. Aren't you being chased by them now? How … how did you appear here? "
Kuwako giggled and said, "You mean Yuji? She's now my Boss's woman. As for that short-lived Osashi Kitagishi, he's already gone to see the Great God. "
"What did you say?"
Daikura Sakuragi suddenly felt a chill run through his body after hearing it. He knew Yuji's identity and knew that she had a very high status in the Joyous Palace. If it weren't for the fact that the Joyous Palace was very secretive and most of its members didn't know each other, Yuji would definitely be an existence admired by countless people.
But …
She was obviously the Palace Master's woman. How did she become this brat's woman? Did she betray the Palace Master?
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and waved. "Alright. You already know a lot of things, so you can die in peace. Xue Sha, Hei Xiong, kill them. "
Xue Sha and Hei Xiong immediately took out their immortal swords and rushed toward the two people. At this time, the two of them had reached the point of exhaustion, and their injuries were extremely serious. How could they be a match for Xue Sha and Hei Xiong? In just two breaths, Xue Sha's sword pierced Ozawa Manzo's heart.
"You …"
Ozawa Manzo lowered his head with great difficulty and looked at the immortal sword that had pierced his heart with disbelief in his eyes. That was because he finally realized that the enemy he had defeated earlier had been hiding his strength. His true strength was probably even greater than when he was at his peak.
Daikura Sakuragi was crazily attacked by the black bear. Although he kept avoiding the vital parts of his body, wounds still appeared on his body.
"You will all be buried with me."
Suddenly, Daikura Sakuragi stopped dodging. After having one of his arms chopped off, he took out a metal tube from his bosom with his other hand and pressed a button on it. Suddenly, a flame shot into the sky.
Hei Xiong's eyes lit up and he controlled the immortal sword to cut off Daikura Sakuragi's head. Then, he quickly returned to Tan Xiu and respectfully reported, "Sect Master, Daikura Sakuragi has released the signal. I'm afraid the Joyous Palace's people will arrive soon. Are we going to withdraw now? "
"No rush." Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "This Inada Society is a subsidiary force of the Joyous Palace. Tang An hasn't killed everyone here yet. You two don't stay idle either. Go help her. The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can leave. "
"Understood!"
The two men immediately moved.
Five minutes later.
Tan Xiu quickly left the Inada Society with his men and appeared on the roof of a six-story building two to three kilometers away. Even Tang An, clad in a black robe, had revealed her figure.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures flickered lightning-fast from a distance and quickly arrived behind Tan Xiu. They were Mo Awu, Tang Guang, and Hei Wuya.
"Sect Master!"
The three respectfully greeted.
"How's everything going?" Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and asked.
"Everything has been arranged, Grand Master," replied Tang Guang respectfully. "There are a total of 46 hidden sentries, all of whom are Kuwako's trusted subordinates. They're monitoring everything within a 10-kilometer radius. No matter which direction the enemy comes from, they'll be locked down. "
"If that's the case, then all of you can go!" Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction.
"Understood!"
Kuwako, who had changed her appearance again, silently disappeared along with Tang Guang, Mo Awu, Xue Sha, Hei Xiong, and Hei Wuya. Only Tang An stood behind Tan Xiu and didn't move.
"How many big fishes do you think we can attract this time, An?" asked Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
"I don't know." Tang An shook her head.
Tan Xiu shrugged and lightly smiled. "Daikura Sakuragi and Ozawa Manzo are among the 72 Chess Pieces of the Joyous Palace. That means they're also in contact with other Chess Pieces, possibly even with one of the concubines."
Tang An was silent for more than ten seconds. Suddenly, her expression moved and she smilingly said, "You're right, Grand Master. Some powerful figures have come."
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and shifted his gaze to a figure in the distant sky that was as fast as a meteor. The figure was clad in a red dress and red high-heeled shoes. Even her long hair was red. Shortly after, the figure landed in the Inada Society's courtyard.
Huoji.
She was a bigwig of the Joyous Palace like Yuji and also the woman favored by the mysterious Palace Master. At this moment, Huoji's eyes were full of disbelief as she looked at the corpses in the courtyard. Her expression greatly changed when she saw Ozawa Manzo.
"Brother!"
Huoji instantly dashed to Ozawa Manzo's side and knelt on the ground. Her hands trembled as she hugged Ozawa's body. Two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures flickered lightning-fast from the distance and quickly landed around Huoji. All three of them were men in their forties. Two of them suppressed their shock when they saw Huoji and respectfully cupped their fists. "Subordinate pays respect to Huoji."
The other one stared blankly and immediately saluted.
Huoji's fiery eyes fell on the three men and fiercely shouted, "Who the hell killed them?"
The three shook their heads.
Huoji angrily shouted, "Investigate! Find the murderer even if you have to turn the entire capital upside down! Huoji angrily shouted, "Anyone who dares to provoke my Joyous Palace must die!"
"Understood!"
The three men hurriedly complied and took out their mobile phones to dial a number. A few minutes later, the trio disappeared from the courtyard.
On the roof of a building in the distance.
Tan Xiu raised his hand to stroke his chin and thoughtfully said, "According to Yuji's description of the Joyous Palace's Imperial Concubines, this woman should be one of them, Huoji. The other three have left and we've caught the fish, so it's time to pull the rod back. "
"I'll deal with her, Grand Master," said Tang An respectfully.
Tan Xiu narrowed his eyes and slowly nodded. "Your cultivation may not be as good as that woman, but you should have no problem killing her in a life-and-death battle. Go, I'll help you. She won't be able to escape. "
Tang An respectfully nodded and quickly lurked toward Huoji's direction.
Tan Xiu closely followed her and quickly appeared outside the Inada Society. Just as Tang An entered, Tan Xiu began to engrave an array pattern and set up an array outside the Inada Society.
Puff …
An immortal sword suddenly appeared out of thin air and directly slashed Huoji's left shoulder. Blood gushed out and Tang An's figure directly appeared.
"Who is it?"
Huoji's expression drastically changed. Her heart palpitated at the sudden appearance of the enemy. The enemy was so terrifying that she didn't even notice it when it approached her.
"Something's not right!"
Huoji was shocked to find that the flow of energy in the surrounding space had changed.
Tang An didn't answer Huoji's question. Her immortal sword burst out thousands of sword images and directly blocked all of Huoji's escape routes.
"Wooden Fish Magic Tool!"
A wooden fish suddenly appeared in Huoji's hand. As the mallet struck the wooden fish, a dazzling golden light directly erupted from it. In a flash, the golden light spread in all directions and enveloped the sword images.
Ding, ding, ding …
Hundreds of golden fishes appeared out of thin air amidst the golden light and constantly smashed the sword images. The sword images, which were full of killing intent, were dissolved in just a few breaths. Even the golden fishes darted toward Tang An.
If Yuji were here at this time and saw the Wooden Fish in Huoji's hand, she would surely be shocked. It was the Palace Master's favorite magic tool and was said to be extremely powerful.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
The defeated sword images reappeared, and this time, the number was several times more than before. Layers of overlapping sword images and dense sword lights blotted out the sky. The golden light within a radius of hundreds of meters was shrouded by the sword images and the golden fishes were destroyed by the flashing sword lights.
"Time Reversal!"
Huoji struck the Wooden Fish faster, but she suddenly felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling shrouding her heart. In just a short moment, she had an illusion that time had slowed down and everything in front of her turned blurry.
Puff …
Dozens of sword shadows pierced through Huoji's chest, causing her heart to be crushed to pieces.
"How is this possible?!"
Huoji was scared out of her wits. She cast a secret art and the Golden Relic inside her instantly broke out of her body, trying to shoot toward the distance.
BAM …
A transparent energy shield blocked the Golden Relic's path and rebounded it to Huoji's location.
"Extinguish …"
Tang An manipulated the immortal sword and accurately stabbed the Golden Relic. However, just as the Golden Core Sarira let out a mournful scream, Tang Xiu's figure suddenly appeared and directly grabbed the Golden Core Sarira.
"Grand Master, aren't we going to destroy it?"
Tang An hesitated and asked.
