Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 579 Su Yunjin: Husband, husband is back!

Xu Shouhui's voice is as annoying as a toad, but you can't get rid of him no matter how much you hate him, and what's even more frightening is that everything he says is true.

If Ni Wenjun dies, then Huangzhou Prefecture will be completely hopeless, and all that will remain is the destruction of the city and the death of its people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya's face turned pale. If the city really falls and people die, I will never live on and let these beasts benefit!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya's attacks became even more ferocious, clearly intending to perish together with Xu Shouhui. Xu Shouhui, meanwhile, was now dodging and weaving, no longer in a hurry. With Ni Wenjun dead, Huangzhou Prefecture was already his for the taking; he only needed to use a few tricks to make it happen.

As for the beauty before him, and the beauties in the city, they are all at his mercy!

With these plans in mind, Xu Shouhui became gentler in his actions, focusing on encirclement rather than launching attacks. He even deliberately avoided Zhao Ya, thinking that once Ni Wenjun was beheaded, Zhao Pusheng and the others would be free to capture Zhao Ya alive. After that, he would decide what to do next.

Thinking of this, Xu Shouhui became sly and cowardly. Seeing Xu Shouhui like this, how could Zhao Ya not understand what he was up to? So she became even angrier and her actions became more and more violent.

But it was all in vain. Xu Shouhui was stronger than Zhao Ya and was deliberately avoiding a fight. Even if Zhao Ya wanted to do something, it was impossible. The difference in strength was obvious, and it was not something Zhao Ya could do just because she wanted to.

This enraged Zhao Ya even more, but what's done is done, and no one can change what's happening now.

At this moment, Mr. Iron Sword raised his hand, emanating a strong sword aura. He held a broken half of his sword in his hand. This broken sword was nothing special; whether he held it or put it down did not have much impact on Mr. Iron Sword's combat power.

This broken sword, which broke on the battlefield, was clearly made from the crudest piece of cast iron. Only the worst soldiers under Xu Shouhui would use such a weapon, and it did not significantly enhance their combat effectiveness.

But this seemingly useless broken knife, in Mr. Iron Sword's hands, becomes the sharpest weapon in the world.

At Mr. Iron Sword's current level, even a flying leaf or a plucked flower can injure someone. Unless it's a divine weapon, it won't provide him with much of a boost. For example, the iron sword behind him is the weapon that gives him the greatest boost.

For him, such a broken sword was more of a symbolic gesture of respect.

At this moment, Mr. Iron Sword slowly raised his hand, looked at Ni Wenjun, and said, "Do you have any last words to say?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun said, "My last words are: I have done right by my parents, my wife and children, and my friends. I have no last words. This battle was swift and decisive, and I have no regrets in dying!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tie Jian frowned slightly at Ni Wenjun's cheerful demeanor. "He's a true man," he thought, "what a pity, what a pity..."

They're courting death. Since that's the case, then don't blame me!
After saying that, Mr. Iron Sword suddenly swung the broken sword in his hand, and the next moment a sword aura shot directly towards Ni Wenjun.

Ni Wenjun closed his eyes and accepted his death peacefully. He had been a hero all his life, and in the end, he didn't want to lose face. Some people live for this kind of integrity, and Ni Wenjun was one of them.

It's just a pity for the people of this city, who haven't been able to fulfill their promise to their brother and protect his family.

"Sigh~ Jiu Si, brother really did his best this time!"

[The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!]

boom!
Just as Mr. Iron Sword was about to unleash his sword energy, a chaotic ripple suddenly appeared across the entire battlefield. Immediately afterward, a figure appeared where Ni Wenjun had just been standing. Then, the sword energy struck down, causing a massive explosion!

Ah!
Mr. Iron Sword frowned, staring intently at the center of the explosion!

Everyone around saw the epicenter of the explosion. How could such a simple slashing motion cause such a massive explosion?
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and as it did, a figure slowly emerged from the spot. The person was dressed in a light blue and white robe, exuding an aura of icy coldness. Just standing there, he gave off a chilling feeling.

The man lying behind him was Ni Wenjun.

When everyone present clearly saw what the newcomer looked like, the entire battlefield fell into complete silence. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the person who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Chen Jiu Si, that's right, the lord of Huangzhou Prefecture, Chen Jiu Si!
On the city wall, Su Yunjin saw the person who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Who knew what she had gone through these past few days? Who knew she had prepared herself to die? Who knew…

Su Yunjin couldn't hold back her tears, and murmured, "Husband, you, you're finally back!"

Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't utter another word.

At this moment, Zhou Chu was clutching his head, blood still flowing. When he saw Chen Jie, he instinctively felt a sense of relief and grinned, saying, "My lord is back! It's alright, it's alright, hahaha..."

When Chen Jie left, he was only at the first stage of the Fusion God realm. But for some reason, as soon as Zhou Chu saw Chen Jie, he felt that the matter here was nothing serious and that his lord could definitely handle it. This was the tacit understanding that had developed between them over the years.

"Cough cough...this brat!"

Hua San Niang also grinned, aggravating her wound, but she laughed and cursed.

Jin Yanzi perked up and said, "With our lord back, Huangzhou Prefecture is saved!"

At this moment, the city walls were filled with jubilation. The soldiers' morale was instantly boosted, and they shouted excitedly, "Our lord is back! Haha, we're saved!"

"Yeah, we thought we were going to die, but lo and behold, we're saved."

"Brothers, give it your all and drive these bastards off the city wall."

"Chase them down from the city wall!"

As shouts rang out, the crowd on the city wall was filled with excitement, and countless people cheered as if they had already driven the enemy away.

At this moment, on the city wall, Xiao Liuzi, who had been on the verge of collapse, slowly raised his head. The enemy was too brutal. He, such a powerful centurion, had not survived a single move in the hands of the enemy. Now, Ni Shuai was about to be killed. Could Huangzhou Prefecture still win?
It's impossible, there's no way we can win!

But just then he suddenly heard a cheer, which seemed to say that the city lord had returned.

City Lord!

Xiao Liu suddenly looked up and gazed out of the city. There, amidst the enemy's encirclement, stood a man who had saved Ni Shuai. Facing thousands of enemies alone, he remained calm and composed.

This man is their Huangzhou City Lord, Chen Jiu Si!
Xiao Liuzi suddenly perked up. He remembered the introduction to their city lord when the school was established, praising the city lord as if he were a god, saying that the city lord was omnipotent and that as long as the city lord was there, it was impossible to fail!
Just now, he began to doubt everything he had learned at school. His own Huangzhou Prefecture was under attack like this. Where was the city lord? Why didn't the city lord come to save us?

Has the city lord abandoned us?

Unexpectedly, the city lord has returned. Will he lead us to victory?
But the enemy is really strong, will we win?

Xiao Liu frowned deeply.

However, some of Chen Jie's old subordinates on the city wall had already begun to cheer. They were not as well-educated as Xiao Liuzi, but they had followed Chen Jie through hardships and naturally knew how powerful their city lord was. Now that their city lord had returned, no matter what kind of enemy stood in their way, they would eventually be defeated!

Chen Jiu Si!
At this moment, Xu Shouhui, who was fighting with Zhao Ya, saw Chen Jie, his eyes filled with anger. Why, why did he come back at this time? Why!
Zhao Ya's eyes reddened, but her lips parted in a smile. "My husband is back! My husband, you're finally back!"

"Hahaha... My elder brother is back! Hahaha, Yujizi, take this! Let's fight another three hundred rounds!"

Chen Xiaohu's mood had already sunk to its lowest point, and Yu Jizi took the opportunity to suppress him. But at this moment, Chen Xiaohu suddenly felt a surge of strength. His elder brother had returned, so what was there to be afraid of? Fight! Fight until the world turns upside down! Fight! Fight until the end of time!

Yu Jizi, don't run away! I'm going to beat the shit out of you today!
Seeing Chen Xiaohu's arrogance, Yu Jizi angrily said, "So what if Chen Jiu Si comes back? My grandmaster was already a second-level Fusion God thirty years ago. With him around, it's fine if Chen Jiu Si doesn't come back. But now that he dares to come back, he's just courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohu's heart skipped a beat, but he still angrily retorted, "You're talking nonsense! My older brother has never lost in his life, he can definitely help your ancestor pass on to the afterlife. He should have died thirty years ago, and now he's crawling out of his grave. He should be stuffed back in!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jizi immediately retorted angrily.

The two continued to curse each other, while in the center of the scene, Chen Jie stood there, turned slightly to look at Ni Wenjun lying on the ground, and said, "Brother Ni, am I not too late?"

Ni Wenjun said, "Just right, cough cough, if you had come back half an hour later, you would have been able to eat at your brother's funeral feast, hehehe..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Hehe, what a pity, I'm really hungry!"

"Get lost, you brat! Watch out for this old bastard. He's Iron Sword Master from the Mount Tai Sect, a second-stage Fusion God."

Second Transformation of the Melting God!

Chen Jie nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "I understand."

Ni Wenjun said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm too tired to fight anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ni. Leave the rest to me!"

As Chen Jie spoke, he turned to look at Xu Shouhui, who was fighting with Zhao Ya. Chen Jie frowned slightly, then reached out and made a move. Suddenly, the red-tasseled spear in the hand of a soldier was snatched away as if by someone, and his hands were immediately rubbed raw and bloody.

Then he looked up at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie then looked at Xu Shouhui and said, "Xu Shouhui, how dare you! Instead of being a dog emperor in your Xiangyang Prefecture, you actually came to attack my Huangzhou City. I think you're tired of living!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shouhui turned around and immediately roared, "Traitorous scoundrel! I am your king! You should kneel down before me and hand over Huangzhou City with both hands! You damned traitorous scoundrel!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened, and he said, "You dog, still kneeling down? I think you're tired of living. Take this spear first!" As he spoke, Chen Jie swung his hand and threw the spear in his hand like a javelin. Whoosh!
The spear, carrying unparalleled power, shot directly at Xu Shouhui. Xu Shouhui instantly felt himself locked on, unable to move, and was about to be pierced through the heart by the spear, dying on the spot.

Terrified, he cried out, "Mr. Iron Sword, save me!"

With a roar, the next moment Mr. Iron Sword appeared in front of the spear with a whoosh. He was about to reach out and stop the spear when he suddenly saw another person in front of him.

[The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!]

Ah!
Mr. Iron Sword was startled and looked at Chen Jie, who was blocking his way. He then reached out and made a sword finger with his right hand, aiming to stab at Chen Jie. Chen Jie smiled slightly and blocked his sword finger with his left fist.

bang bang bang...

The next moment, the two attacked each other for more than a dozen moves in a state where no one could see clearly. The next moment, they landed on the ground with a thud, while the spear shot straight towards Xu Shouhui.

Although Mr. Iron Sword did not block the spear, it did affect the spear's accuracy. He originally intended to kill Xu Shouhui with one spear, but unexpectedly, the spearhead deviated slightly downwards and pierced through Xu Shouhui's abdomen, but did not pierce his heart!
"Ah~"

Xu Shouhui let out a miserable cry, followed by spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the entire land red.

"Chen Jiu Si, you dare to commit regicide!"

Xu Shouhui stared wide-eyed at Chen Jie, but Chen Jie frowned and said, "He's not dead, is he?"

As he spoke, Chen Jie waved his hand, and in the next moment another spear appeared in his hand. Upon seeing this, Xu Shouhui hurriedly covered his wound and shouted, "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor... Mr. Iron Sword!"

brush!
At this moment, Mr. Iron Sword stepped directly in front of Chen Jie and said, "You are Chen Jiu Si?"

"The ruler of Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Mr. Iron Sword looked at Chen Jie and asked, and Chen Jie replied, "Hehe, that's right, it is indeed Chen Jiu Si, the master of Huangzhou Prefecture!"

"And who are you, sir?"

Mr. Tie Jian said, "Tie Jian is the former head of the Taishan Sect."

Chen Jie said, "Oh, Mount Tai Sect, I have no grudge against your Mount Tai Sect, so why did you invade my Huangzhou Prefecture and kill my soldiers and civilians!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword said, "You can't say that just because we have no enmity or grudge. Do you still remember on Bright Peak, you killed Zuo Buqun, the leader of my Huashan Sect?"

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "That is true, but it's a matter between me and the Huashan Sect. What does it have to do with you?"

"Hehe, our Five Mountains Sword Alliance is of one heart and one mind. If any sect is insulted, the other sects will lend a helping hand. My Mount Tai Sect is also one of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance. The grudge of the Mount Hua Sect is the grudge of my Mount Tai Sect!"

Chen Jie nodded and said, "What you say makes sense. Since that's the case, then I have nothing more to say. You killed my warriors, and I killed your Five Mountains Sect Leader. We are mortal enemies. Since that's the case, then let's fight!"

Chen Jie slowly pointed the spear he hadn't thrown at Mr. Iron Sword.

Mr. Iron Sword looked at Chen Jie and said, "Ahem, young man, I see that your cultivation is not easy. If you fight with me today, I will not hold back. If you lose your life, wouldn't that be a waste of all your cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at Mr. Iron Sword and asked, "Then what are your thoughts, sir?"

Mr. Iron Sword said, "Not weak. If you give this Huangzhou Prefecture to that Emperor Xu, I'll let you take your whole family out of the city, how about that?"

"Mr. Iron Sword!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shouhui immediately shouted, but Mr. Iron Sword raised his hand and said, "Don't mention anything else. I really like this young brother Chen Jiu Si. Besides, I only agreed to go to Huangzhou Prefecture. Do you dare to order me around for anything else?"

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it. I've seen how difficult his cultivation is, and I can't bear to ruin his progress. Let's not say anything more."

At this moment, Mr. Iron Sword looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiu Si, how about it? Take your family and leave. I can't bear to take your life!"

"Hehe... Sir, you are indeed righteous, actually letting the enemy leave on the battlefield, hahaha... But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, sir. I can't possibly abandon the people of a city to be left to this tyrannical ruler to wreak havoc. Moreover, with so many soldiers killed and wounded today, if I don't leave some of you behind, I won't be able to explain myself to the soldiers of the whole city!"

"Hmm, so you mean you want to fight me?"

Mr. Iron Sword frowned, then looked at Chen Jie with icy eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked up, pointed his spear at Mr. Iron Sword, and said, "It's not impossible!"

Mr. Iron Sword said, "Why bother? I see that you have already achieved a great deal in your cultivation. If you were to die by my sword, I would be heartbroken!"

Chen Jie chuckled and said, "Old sir, you have the heart of a bodhisattva, but before I arrived, you were on a killing spree!"

"If I don't fight this old man to the death today, how can I face the people of this city? So one of us must die here today!"

"It's either you or me!"

Chen Jie suddenly took a step forward, and the next moment, the power of the second stage of the Fusion God was released without any concealment.

boom!
Sensing the terrifying power emanating from Chen Jie, everyone around was startled. Ni Wenjun narrowed his eyes and said, "So strong, not weaker than Mr. Iron Sword's Qi. Has Jiu Si also reached the second level of the Fusion God Realm?"

"Second stage of the Fusion God realm, hehe, my husband has actually advanced further and entered the second stage of the Fusion God realm!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya felt relieved.

Xu Shouhui's eyes widened at this moment. He did not expect that Chen Jiu Si would improve so quickly. In a short period of time, he actually reached the second level of the Fusion God. The second level of the Fusion God is definitely at the level of an old monster. How could Chen Jiu Si do that?

He's only twenty-three or twenty-four years old this year, yet he's already reached the second stage of the Fusion God realm. If this continues into the future, what will become of him? I must nip him in the bud. Today he's already harboring murderous intent towards me. If I can't nip him in the bud, how will I ever have a peaceful life again?

Thinking of this, Xu Shouhui's eyes turned red as he said, "Senior Iron Sword, it's up to you now. You entered the second stage of the Fusion God Realm thirty years ago. How can he, a young martial artist who is not even thirty years old, compare to you with thirty years of cultivation and enlightenment!"

"Mr. Iron Sword can definitely kill him!"

Xu Shouhui was thinking, and at this moment, Mr. Iron Sword also looked at Chen Jie, his gaze slightly narrowed, and said: "Hehehe, the second stage of the Fusion God Realm, no wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out you have entered the second stage of the Fusion God Realm. However, you are so young to have such cultivation, it is really remarkable!"

"You're not thirty years old this year, are you?"

Mr. Iron Sword looked at Chen Jie and asked, and Chen Jie smiled and said, "I haven't arrived yet."

"Hehe, reaching the second stage of the Fusion God realm before the age of thirty is quite an achievement, even in an era teeming with geniuses!"

"You really can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket. It's just a pity!"

Mr. Iron Sword paused deliberately at this point, and Chen Jie didn't rush to respond, but simply looked at him and said, "What's the pity?"

"It's such a pity that such a brilliant and talented person had to perish here in the end. It's truly pitiful, lamentable, and regrettable!"

As Mr. Iron Sword spoke, his eyes suddenly sharpened: "Young man, do you think that just because we're both at the second level of the Melting God realm, I can't do anything to you? Let me tell you, I was already at the second level of the Melting God realm thirty years ago!"

hum!
As soon as Mr. Iron Sword uttered these words, a ten-zhang-long sword aura suddenly rose up behind him, soaring straight into the sky. The terrifying sword aura shook the heavens and the earth.

Sensing the terrifying sword energy, Chen Jie frowned slightly. This condensed qi was indeed worthy of thirty years of refinement. Had his control over qi reached such a level?

He really is much stronger than me. If I hadn't experienced this battle in Southeast Asia, I really wouldn't have been confident of victory against such a strong person. But now, Chen Jie wants to give it a try!
As Chen Jie pondered this, Mr. Iron Sword slowly sheathed his sword aura and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Young man, do you still think you can fight me now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Mr. Iron Sword and said, "Although you are strong, I am not certain of victory."

"But now that we've drawn our swords, there's no going back. So, sir, today we'll decide the victor and the vanquished!"

"Insanity!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword's eyebrows shot up. This kid was too arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that he was a second-stage Fusion God, he would easily have injured himself if he had dealt with him, and then other old monsters would have taken advantage of the situation. Why would he be so polite? He would have already slashed and killed this arrogant kid with his sword.

But this kid is still relentless and insists on getting to the bottom of things. Does he think I'm afraid of him?

Thinking of this, Mr. Iron Sword directly tilted his sword energy towards Chen Jie, hoping to make Chen Jie back down.

Chen Jie faced the sword energy of his opponent without flinching. He faced it calmly and said, "In this war today, so many of my sons from Huangzhou Prefecture have been killed. If you can just leave first, how can I face the sons of Huangzhou Prefecture who died in battle? So today, this Iron Sword Master and these thieves who dared to invade my Huangzhou Prefecture will all be killed!"
Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Mr. Iron Sword and said, "Senior, my brother is unable to get you to draw your sword. I wonder if I am qualified to do so?"

As he spoke, Chen Jie stepped forward, raised his hands, and a dragon's roar resounded...
