"Alright!" King An gritted his teeth and spat out the word.
Seventeen Grandmasters against ten, almost two against one, a chaotic battle ensued.
Palm energy surged, fist energy surged, everyone felt like they were in a raging wave, the force was everywhere, a slight carelessness could lead to death.
King An's entourage kept retreating, they were pushed out by the omnipresent force, their eyes were fixed on the battlefield.
Chu Li turned his head and said, "Your Highness, what do you think of my masters?"
King An scoffed, "Didn't you say that the High Duke's Public House only has eight Grandmasters?"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed, "How can the High Duke's Public House be known by others, only eight, once those martial arts factions have the intention to rebel, they will be arrogant, thinking that they can defeat the High Duke's Public House, they can't wait to act."
"Isn't this tempting them to rebel?" King An scoffed, "If they know that the High Duke's Public House has twenty Grandmasters, they won't act."
Chu Li shook his head, "Your Highness is wrong, if they have the intention to rebel, they will act one day, if they wait too late, the rebellion will become stronger, the destruction will be more intense, and when they accumulate enough power, they will really suppress the High Duke's Public House, then the world will be in chaos!"
"The world will be in chaos?" King An scoffed, "That's sensational!"
Chu Li said, "Your Highness is knowledgeable, you can't not see it, right? If one day, they can really suppress the High Duke's Public House, one High Duke's Public House will be breached, the High Duke's Public Houses will also lose their strongest deterrent, those who have the intention to rebel will have hope, they will burst forth with stronger power, then, it will be the time for a change of dynasty! "
"With Father here, who can cause trouble!" King An said lightly, "Your Highness, your thoughts are not worth mentioning!"
Chu Li shook his head, "Your Highness has forgotten, there is not only one Enlightened Master in the world, other than the Ji Dynasty, there is also the Li Dynasty, the Zheng Dynasty, the Fu Dynasty, and the Qiu Dynasty, how can they just watch His Majesty quell the rebellion?"
King An's expression changed slightly.
When his gaze fell on the Grandmaster in black, his expression softened slightly.
Under the siege of the High Duke's Public House, the man in black was tenaciously holding on, although he was at a disadvantage, he was able to hold on, and there was no danger to his life, it seemed like it would not be difficult for him to escape.
Chu Li also looked at the chaotic battle in the field.
The martial arts of these black-clothed men were indeed formidable and their cultivation was profound. They were practically fighting one against two, yet they were still able to hold on.
Chu Li shook his head and watched the battle in silence.
King An turned his head to look at him and mocked with a faint smile, "It seems like your Imperial Residence doesn't have much of an advantage. I'm afraid that you won't be able to take down these assassins. Don't tell me that you can't even take down one against two?"
Chu Li smiled and looked at Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi, "Why don't the two Commanders lend them a hand?"
Zheng Lide shook his head.
Meng Zhi scoffed, "Our duty is to protect the Royal Highness, we cannot leave him for even a moment."
Chu Li laughed. "Are you protecting His Royal Highness now to prevent me from assassinating him?"
"If there's a first batch of assassins, it doesn't mean that there won't be a second batch. We have to guard against them," Meng Zhi scoffed, "But Chief Chu, why don't you go and help?"
Chu Li glanced at Prince An and smiled. "My duty is to protect His Royal Highness, lest anything happens to him and affect the wedding. If the wedding can't be held because of Prince An's injury, it would be my fault!"
Prince An said faintly, "It's alright, you can go and help."
Chu Li smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. If they really have the ability, they can escape. As long as they don't disturb the wedding, let them be!"
Prince An said, "How can I let it go! … They wanted to assassinate me, how can I let them go so easily! "
"Hmm, I wonder how Your Highness will deal with them?" Chu Li smiled and asked.
Prince An scoffed and said coldly, "Kill them without mercy!"
"Understood," Chu Li smiled and nodded, "I was waiting for Your Highness to say that! … Lady Lu, it's time to show yourself! "
He raised his voice and shouted. His voice was like rolling thunder and resonated in the night sky.
A lady in a white robe fluttered over under the moonlight. She was like a fairy that floated down from the moon. Her face was covered with a white veil and only a pair of watery eyes could be seen.
"Chu Li, good plan!" She scoffed softly and landed on the field.
As soon as she arrived, her graceful figure suddenly sped up. She was as ethereal as smoke and quickly circled the field.
The men in black who were fighting fiercely were no longer in the mood to care about anything else. They tried their best to hold on and all of them had the intention to retreat.
If this situation continued, they would not be able to turn the tables. They could only retreat and stay alive. Otherwise, they might really meet with misfortune.
Lu Yurong was like a wisp of smoke as she bypassed the men in black. Rays of finger energy shot out.
"Tss tss tss …" It was like a hidden weapon was shot towards the men in black.
They were already at a disadvantage. Now that the finger energy was shot, they could not dodge in time. They could only use their palms or fists to block.
The finger energy immediately entered their bodies. The strange finger energy drilled into their bodies and circled around them. It disturbed the circulation of their inner energy. Their bodies and movements suddenly became slow and sluggish. Their power was greatly reduced.
Chu Li smiled, "Lady Lu, what finger technique is this?"
"You don't need to know!" Lu Yurong scoffed coldly. She stepped on the treetop and fluttered away.
Her sudden appearance was like a fairy that had been banished to the mortal world. She had already left, but her lingering fragrance still lingered in the air, causing people to involuntarily sigh in admiration and melancholy.
Chu Li saw these strange finger energies through the Omniscient Mirror.
This was the unique inner energy of the Elusive Nine Heavens Goddess. Even Prince An who cultivated the Scripture of Duality was at a disadvantage when he encountered the Elusive Nine Heavens Goddess Power. He could not get rid of it, let alone them.
It was a battle between masters.
These men in black were disturbed by Lu Yurong's finger energy. Their inner energy circulation was sluggish. It might be a small change, but when they were surrounded by two masters of the same level, it became a fatal key.
One by one, the men in black were hit and fell under the joint attack of the men in blue.
Some of the black-clothed men saw their companions fall to the ground and immediately wanted to escape, but it was already too late. Following the fall of three black-clothed men, even more blue-clothed men broke free and joined the encirclement. Those who wanted to escape attracted even more attacks.
Lu Yurong's sudden appearance became a fatal blow.
The situation took a turn for the worse. In the blink of an eye, ten men in black fell to the ground. They were heavily injured and surrounded by the men in blue.
Chu Li laughed loudly, "Thank you for your help, Lady Lu!"
Lu Yurong's voice was faint as if it came from the sky. It was faint but clear, "No need to thank me. Just steal a few more jade carvings for me!"
Chu Li's expression did not change. He turned to look at Prince An, "Your Highness, I did not fail you! … Just do as Your Highness said. Kill these people as a warning to others! "
"Wait!" Meng Zhi quickly said, "Chief Chu, it's not good to see blood on His Highness's wedding day. It's not auspicious."
Chu Li squinted his eyes and smiled, "As a martial artist, do you still need to pay attention to these things?"
Meng Zhi said, "These people's deaths are not to be regretted. But it's not worth it to ruin the happiness of the wedding."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully and looked at Prince An, "What does Your Highness think?"
Prince An frowned and stared at these men in black.
