The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1998 A Real Man

What? Has this guy gone mad?

But now no one dares to make any rash moves!

Zhu Wu's slap of Madam Dan from a distance just now has forced everyone to re-evaluate this person!
Many people have realized that Zhu Wu, like the two coroners, has a hidden side! In particular, in terms of martial arts, they may both be unparalleled masters!
As the "eldest brother," Liu Muxuan had no choice but to step forward: "Zhu Wu, what did you say?"

Zhu Wu raised an eyebrow: "I'll say it one last time, everything here belongs to me!" There was no need to pretend any longer.

Liu Muxuan frowned and asked, "On what grounds?"

Zhu Wu slowly raised his fist and smiled: "Based on this!"

A fist! Everyone's pupils contracted!
Whoever has the strongest fist has the most powerful words; this is indeed a fundamental truth in the martial arts world!

Liu Muxuan tried his best to stay calm: "Zhu Wu, I admit I misjudged you. Your martial arts are indeed unfathomable, but do you think you alone can defeat more than a hundred of us?"

Zhu Wu sneered: "You think these hundred-odd people would dare to charge up? Sheep are sheep, what's the difference between a hundred and a thousand? Aren't they all just waiting to be slaughtered?"

Holy crap! He's calling us sheep to be slaughtered? That's outrageous! I've been annoyed by this guy's freeloading for a long time, and now he's gone even further!

Many of the Liu family's youths were instantly consumed by rage, clenching their fists and ready to charge forward! But their older companions immediately pulled the young men back!
"Impulsiveness is the devil! Hold back!"

The boys reluctantly stopped!

Liu Muxuan's face was cold as he scanned the room, only to be greatly disappointed! Apart from a few greenhorn youths who still had some spirit, the rest of them all wore indifferent expressions! Some even kept their eyes down, pretending to be stupid!
Damn it! These fair-weather friends!

But it's no wonder they were so timid. Zhu Wu's behavior before and after was so different that it's normal for them to be hesitant and timid!
Looking at the person in front of him, Liu Muxuan realized that just a moment ago he was a live-in son-in-law who didn't dare to speak loudly, but the next moment he had become a peerless master who looked down on all living beings!
Zhang Shicheng, a peak eighth-realm cultivator, was killed with a single, invisible punch!

He slapped Liu Mudan across the face again from several meters away!

I ask everyone present, who possesses such skill to fight him?
Who could possibly withstand a single blow from him? It's estimated that no one could withstand even one of his moves!
At this moment, Zhu Wu smiled contemptuously again, "Who objects? If no one objects, it will pass!"

"I object!" a boy shouted.

Everyone was taken aback, and then a handsome young man strode out from the crowd!
Upon recognizing his distant nephew Liu Yutang, Liu Muxuan's face immediately darkened. "Yutang! Go back!"

Liu Yutang said, "Uncle! We have no objection to you being the head of the family! But for this son-in-law to be the head of the family, isn't that like defecating on the neck of the Liu family?"

Fatty Dragon shook his head inwardly, thinking: Whose idiot is this? Doesn't he have any eyes at all?
Skinny Tiger also sighed, muttering under his breath, "Someone actually has a death wish!"

Officer Jiang said, "Young Master Zhu, I hear an accent from the Lingnan region in your voice. Could it be that you used to live in Lingnan?"

Zhu Wu immediately felt a chill and became wary!

He smiled and said, "Officer Jiang is indeed as renowned as he is. He is knowledgeable and experienced. That's right, I did business in Lingnan for a few years before."

Officer Jiang remained expressionless, but inwardly he was horrified!

Last night, the county magistrate suddenly summoned me to the county office and gave me several instructions, one of which was to keep an eye on Zhu Wu!

He himself said at the time that the county magistrate was making a mountain out of a molehill, what was there to monitor about a son-in-law!
As a result, the county magistrate said that Zhu Wu came from Lingnan, was highly skilled in martial arts, had a powerful background, and was highly suspicious. He was probably the last emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty!

At the time, I didn't believe it at all.

It seems that this county magistrate, who was originally a soldier, cannot be judged by ordinary standards! His information channels are definitely beyond my imagination! I heard that the people from the Imperial City Guard of the Great Song Dynasty have infiltrated this place. Perhaps this news was leaked by someone from the Imperial City Guard?

Let them monitor us, as long as we don't cause trouble!

It's really difficult to control the bloodshed without getting involved in the conflict! This Zhu Wu looks like someone you shouldn't mess with! What should I do?
Officer Jiang felt completely overwhelmed!
He was just a constable, a lowly position with little influence. These people were all influential and powerful; would they really let him do as he pleased?

It seems Zhu Wu is prepared to take a hard line and fight back. It appears that no one present can hold their own against him, and Zhu Wu has the absolute upper hand! In that case, we should choose the lesser of two evils!

Having made up his mind, he said to Zhu Wu, "Since everyone agrees with Young Master Zhu's suggestion, then you can discuss it internally. I have already examined those corpses; they were all deliberately killed by being smashed. The murder weapon was a tiger sledgehammer. My initial suspicion is that Xue Yufeng was responsible, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the guests who came last night committed the crime. Therefore, I am preparing to track down the suspect immediately, so I will not disturb you any longer!"

The handsome young man, Liu Yutang, shouted, "What do you mean everyone doesn't object? Are you deaf? What are you trying to do? Chase after a suspect? I think you're trying to run away when things get bad."

Officer Jiang's face immediately darkened!
"Young man, you need to be careful what you say when you're out and about. Don't be so mean!"

Liu Yutang said righteously, "So what if I'm this mean?"

Officer Jiang paused for a moment, suppressing his anger, narrowing his eyes into slits, and smiled sinisterly: "Young brother, the martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social graces! If you're too impulsive, you'll easily get hurt!"

Liu Yutang said arrogantly, "A person like you is opportunistic and slippery. If you want to live a long life, you should learn from a turtle and shrink your head back! I'm not afraid! You surnamed Zhu, you want to be the head of the family? I don't agree!"

Zhu Wu laughed and said, "When you first appeared, I thought you were an old friend of mine. Your righteous and awe-inspiring appearance scared me half to death! Luckily, you're not him!"

Liu Yutang said, "Stop talking nonsense! I support my eldest uncle becoming the head of the family. Anyone who opposes it, raise your hand!"

Everyone thought to themselves: This kid is young but cunning. He first suggests that those who oppose it raise their hands, and if no one raises their hand, he'll smoothly say, "Since no one objects, we'll assume everyone agrees," and pass the election! In this situation, who would dare to object? And even if someone did, how many could there be?
He really pulled off that move smoothly!

Zhu Wu said, "Officer Jiang, please go ahead with your work. This is a family matter, so please don't interfere!"

Officer Jiang was overjoyed!

Unexpectedly, it was Zhu Wu who came to his rescue in the end!

Since you've given me a gift, I should reciprocate!
"Okay! Please stay calm and don't fight. I'm investigating a case nearby and may come over at any time, so please don't embarrass me!" He quickly left.

If the county magistrate asks, I'll just retort that he ordered me to monitor Zhu Wu, not to keep a close watch on him! Besides, the so-called monitoring is secret monitoring, and my temporary departure from the Liu residence is to avoid exposing myself!
Seeing that Constable Jiang had taken the opportunity to leave this troublesome place, Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon immediately followed him!

With everyone's attention focused on Liu Yutang, Liu Muxuan, Zhu Wu, and others, no one noticed their departure!

After they went outside, Skinny Tiger said, "Hurry up and follow Officer Jiang. He'll take over if anything happens!"

Fei Long chuckled and said, "Good! It seems the Liu family is about to be in for a major shock!"

Skinny Tiger said, "That Zhu Wu is obviously no ordinary person! I had only heard of him before, calling him a gigolo and a good-for-nothing, but after meeting him today, I realized that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"The Liu family is finished this time!"

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"what do you mean?"

"Zhu Wu is definitely not the murderer. The person who could turn the entire Liu family into fighting amongst themselves must be no less capable than Zhu Wu! Why is it such a coincidence that Zhu Wu is home almost every night, but went to the casino last night? Do you think he knows the murderer and was trying to avoid him last night?"

"Is it possible that that person was invited by Zhu Wu?"

"If Zhu Wu wanted to make a move, there was no need to involve outsiders. Besides, the timing of last night's action wasn't ideal. You saw what happened just now; how resistant those people were to him! He only formed an alliance with the Lin family through mutual benefit. Not a single member of the Liu family supports him. So, if he really wanted to make a move, he should have killed Liu Mubai and the others, spared Liu Ruyan, and used her as leverage to command the others. That would have been the best strategy!" "That also means that things happened suddenly, an uninvited guest disrupted his plans, and he happened to know who the visitor was, understanding that their strength was superior to his own. For safety reasons, he hid!"

"That's right, probably! If we weren't wary of him, with his combat strength, he could have easily warned the Liu family to prepare. If everyone joined forces, they might have been able to win! But he ran away, which means that person's strength is extremely terrifying. Even if the whole family joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him!"

"Of course, it's also possible that he left on purpose to use someone else to do his dirty work!"

"If we want to know the truth, we have to go to the casino! Since that person killed the entire Liu family, they can't possibly let Zhu Wu go! After killing the five members of the Liu family, they will most likely go to the casino to find Zhu Wu!"

"Look, Officer Jiang seems to be heading towards the casino too. Perfect, let's follow him!"

Inside the Liu residence. Liu Yutang wore a proud expression. Today, none of his peers dared to stand up and say no to power like he did!
"Since no one raised their hand, it means everyone... Ah!" Before he could finish speaking, he was already flying up, as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat, rendering him speechless. He instantly flew to Zhu Wu's side, his body hovering, his feet unable to touch the ground. Zhu Wu's left hand gripped his neck, and he laughed, "You seem to be called Liu Yutang, right?"

Liu Yutang's face turned red with frustration; he wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word.

Zhu Wu said, "You little rascal, you insist on talking when I tell you not to, but you become mute when I tell you to. You really are a disobedient bastard!"

Liu Muxuan said, "Zhu Wu! Let him go! His father died early, and his mother is bedridden. How can you bear to bully him?"

Zhu Wu was taken aback. "What? His father is dead and his mother is sick, so I can't discipline him? Damn it! Why weren't you saying anything when he was cursing me just now? Alright, Uncle, don't be so hypocritical! Where is Chief Steward Liu Quan?"

Liu Quan had been hiding in the crowd for half a day, trying to make himself inconspicuous, hoping that the funeral would end soon and he would be safe. He didn't expect that Zhu Wu had no intention of letting him go at all!

He stepped out from the crowd. "Young master, I'm here!"

Zhu Wu said, "From today onwards, all of the Liu family's businesses belong to me, and the position of Grand Steward is still yours. Now, keep a record of who is willing to submit to me. Those who are willing to submit to me will definitely receive higher treatment! Those who are not willing to submit to me do not need to be registered; they will fend for themselves, and it will have nothing to do with the Liu family."

Liu Quan immediately replied, "Yes!"

Someone nearby immediately shouted, "Liu Quan, you traitor! The Liu family has treated you well, and now you've betrayed them?"

Liu Quan said calmly, "The son-in-law is the master's son-in-law, half a son, and now the master's only heir. Is there a problem with me serving the son-in-law according to the master's last wishes? If anyone objects, come and argue with the son-in-law!"

Everyone was speechless!

Zhu Wu said leisurely, "I've always been willing to reason with others. If you gentlemen are unwilling to reason with me, I do know a little bit of martial arts!"

Fuck!
That's fucking blatant threatening!
Liu Mudan roared, "What are you all standing there for? Kill him!"

Upon hearing this, the four experts she brought were about to attack when Zhu Wu suddenly grinned and drew his sword!

A flash of light, and the sword was already sheathed!

The four experts positioned at the four corners were frozen in place, completely immobilized!
Liu Muxuan had already noticed something was amiss!
The four masters all had blood seeping between their eyebrows! A red line stretched from the top of their heads all the way down to their chins!

Suddenly, the front of the four masters' robes ripped open, then the hem...

Oops!

Liu Muxuan's heart sank to the bottom!
Suddenly, a cloud of blood mist gushed from the chests of the four masters at the same time, catching the Lin brothers off guard and leaving their faces covered in blood!
Lin Chenming and the others hurriedly hid far away, leaving only Zhu Wu among the four masters.

Zhu Wu sneered, "One ninth realm cultivator and three eighth realm cultivators, and you think you can bark at me like that?"

The four masters suddenly split in two. Symmetrical, split into two pieces.

Everyone was shocked!

Zhu Wu had just cleaved all four people in two at the same time! That sword strike was so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye!

Liu Mudan stopped wailing and was stunned!
These four masters are no ordinary people! She had personally witnessed their skills! Countless experts had died at their hands!
How could he have died at the hands of this son-in-law today?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Zhu Wu said, "Uncle? Do you have any objections to me becoming the head of the family?"

Liu Muxuan gave an awkward smile, "No!" Although he was tough, reality was cruel and did not allow him to go against the tide!

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Liu Muxuan's face instantly turned red! A red tinged with black! At that moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Zhu Wu looked at Liu Yutang and smiled in a way that was incredibly irritating. "Brother Yutang, do I still have a problem with myself?"

Liu Yutang couldn't help but take a step back. He wanted to be defiant, but the four corpses were right at his feet. Looking at Zhu Wu's handsome face, which was full of smiles, he saw it as a hideous and twisted beast staring at him. He stammered, "No...no objection!"

Zhu Wu smiled contemptuously and slapped Liu Yutang across the face. Liu Yutang instantly fell to the ground, covering his face and looking at Zhu Wu with a terrified expression, "Don't come any closer!"

Zhu Wu sneered, "Brother Yutang, I haven't even tried to reason with you yet, and you've already come to your senses? How did you come to your senses? Weren't you quite tough just now? I still prefer your arrogant self from before!" He shook his head, his face full of contempt, "You're just like yourself now, I despise you! You're boring!" He turned to look at Liu Mudan and slowly walked over!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the air became heavy!
Everyone felt a suffocating pressure, layer upon layer, constantly assaulting them!
When Zhu Wu walked up to Liu Mudan, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted!

Lin Chenming whispered to his younger brother Lin Songquan, "I told you Zhu Wu was no ordinary man. You see, the Liu family is nothing but ants in front of him!"

Lin Songquan said, "If he becomes the head of the family, and we get back my sister's belongings, everyone will be happy!"

Lin Xingchi said, "Father, won't he be greedy and want more?"

Lin Songquan said, "No! Our Lin family has been a scholarly family for generations. Although we have some businesses, they are too small in his eyes. What he is interested in are the two businesses of the Liu family: iron smelting and salt production."

Lin Xingchi said with a solemn expression, "These two businesses are shady! If you catch them, you'll be in big trouble!" He made a beheading gesture with his hand over his neck!

Lin Songquan smiled nonchalantly, "What does that have to do with us? We only need to take back a few houses and shops; the rest is too much for our Lin family to handle anyway!"

Lin Chenming said, "That's right! We'll be content as long as the Lin family can live with dignity for generations to come. As for anything else, let's not have any unrealistic expectations!"

Lin Xingchi said, "I have no improper thoughts. I'm just worried that his appetite is too big, and the Liu family alone won't be enough for him!"

Lin Chenming said, "It's too late now! Since he's no longer willing to pretend, do you think it matters whether we cooperate or not if he wants to take us over?"

Lin Xingchi thought for a moment and sighed, "Yes!"

Once Zhu Wu decides to take action, who in the entire Diexi Town can stop him? Who he eats and who he doesn't eat is entirely up to him!
Zhu Wu scanned the area, and everyone whose gaze fell upon him averted their eyes and unconsciously lowered their heads!

When a tiger patrols the mountains, all the animals worship it!
This long-lost feeling is so great!
The sword slave in the crowd had his eyes shining!

This is the real man in her heart!

A man who stands at the peak, looking down upon all living beings!

Thank you for your strong support and encouragement from Yudong!
