Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

Chapter 140 If you have anything else to say, go tell my flying knife.

Zhou Xuan raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing directly at the city lord in his high position.

Although he was looking up, his dark eyes seemed to be looking down at ants.

When the city lord met his gaze, he couldn't help but tremble, as if he were facing a high and mighty god.

With a thud, the courtyard fell into a brief silence as the last guard's body collapsed.

The city lord couldn't help but feel a pang of panic as his guard was instantly wiped out.

After a brief silence, a sharp shout suddenly erupted from the guests' seats—"Boy! Don't be so presumptuous!"

There were a total of seventeen guests, plus the city lord, making a total of eighteen.

They all revealed their spirit rings immediately.

After all, they are all prominent figures, so their cultivation levels are naturally not low; at least they are all at the Soul Venerable level.

Looking at the various soul rings surrounding him, the city lord's panic subsided slightly, and a sinister smile returned to his lips.

What is this place!
His territory! The City Lord's Mansion. So what if this young man seems powerful?

"Boy! Don't think you can run wild in Sai City just because you have some strength!" He slammed his hand on the table, splashing wine from his cup. "Kneel down and kill yourself now, and this city lord might even leave you a whole corpse!"

He sat back down in the main seat, picked up the wine glass on the table, and took a small sip.

It seems that everything is still under his control.

Zhou Xuan smiled.

That smile was faint, yet it sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Are you finished?" He looked at the city lord calmly, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

He didn't act immediately; he was just calculating which of these people deserved to die and which could live.

After all, he wasn't someone who indiscriminately killed innocent people.

But the result disappointed him.

Zhou Xuan glanced around indifferently, and whenever his gaze fell on someone, the latter would feel a pang of panic.

"As expected, there can't be anything good at a gathering in a place like this. I was too soft-hearted before."

brush!
A cold glint flashed, and the head of the guest on the far right flew into the air! Blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering onto the table full of delicacies.

The others didn't even realize what was happening.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

Blood dripped down the edge of the table, its sound particularly jarring in the deathly silent hall.

Zhou Xuan asked with a faint smile, "Is there anything you want to explain?"

The throwing knife returned to Zhou Xuan's side, completely free of blood. However, to others, his smile was nothing short of demonic.

"My father is the leader of the Jiaolong Gang! A five-ring Soul King! If you dare to touch me, he will wipe out your entire family!" A young man in fine clothes threatened fiercely, but his trembling voice betrayed his fear.

In a small town like this, a five-ring Soul King could easily become the city lord if he wanted to.

But in this city of Sai, he was only a gang leader?
There's a problem, and it's a significant one!
"Anything else?" Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, his aura seemingly subdued.

Seeing his softened attitude, the crowd assumed he was intimidated by the title of Soul King and immediately rushed to introduce themselves.

"The president of the Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce is my father! He's also a Soul King!"

"My grandfather is the sect leader of the Iron Sword Sect! A peak Soul King!"

There were seventeen people in total, and each of them introduced themselves. There were seventeen Soul Kings in total.

In this remote little town, this is already an extraordinary fighting force.

If Zhou Xuan didn't have any powerful connections, he would probably have to think twice.

“However, this small city of Sai probably can’t support so many Soul King seniors, right? What do you think, Lord City Lord?” Zhou Xuan’s gaze swept over the seventeen people in front of him and looked at the City Lord again.

"Boy, you seem to know something?" The city lord narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhou Xuan. "But so what? In this Sai City, I am the king! Even if you're a dragon, you have to bow down to me! Understand?"

Zhou Xuan chuckled lightly: "After such a long time, my patience has run out."

Their information wasn't entirely useless; at least seventeen people identified themselves.
Zhou Xuan absolutely refused to believe that these forces didn't have some shady dealings.

That's perfect, it saves him the time of investigation; he can just visit each person individually to offer his greetings.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't!"

Guy rope!

While this move is only moderately effective against strong opponents, it's incredibly easy to use to control this group of little Karami.

The eighteen invisible wind ropes suddenly tightened, suspending everyone in mid-air!

At this point, even the most clueless person would realize that something was wrong.

Someone who can control all eighteen of them instantly—there's no need to fear them at all. Even if their fathers are very powerful, so what? Even a Soul King couldn't achieve what Zhou Xuan has now.

We could have easily killed them all and left.

So, the moment they were brought under control, some people immediately chickened out.

"Brother! Big brother! Tell me, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know!" Although his limbs were controlled, his mouth could still move!

Everyone else turned to look at this person.

Holy crap! Young people! No sportsmanship whatsoever!
At this point, they realized that with the strength of the boy in front of them, it would be easy for him to kill them. So they had to back down. As long as they could go back, what did it matter if they lost face?
"Yes! Brother, I definitely know more about what you want to know than they do!"

"Sir, don't listen to their nonsense. I definitely know the most!"

"Sir! They're all lying to you! If you're talking about the most well-informed person in the city, it's definitely me!"

A cacophony of voices instantly filled the entire courtyard.

This caused Zhou Xuan to pause involuntarily.

Is it rolled up?
"Oh? Then tell me, what do you know?" Zhou Xuan casually moved a chair over, propped his head up, and looked at the young man with interest.

"Yes, stop shaking your head, that blond guy, it's you!"

Upon hearing this, the latter's face lit up with joy: "What do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know!"

"Tell me, how did your father cultivate to the Soul King level? As his son, you can't possibly not even know this much?"

The boy hesitated, wondering if the boy knew. He certainly did.

However, he was certain that if he revealed the truth, he would be torn to pieces.

After all, he seemed to understand now what this gentleman had come here for.

"You're not going to talk? Then don't!"

Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, the group panicked: "No! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Compared to their father's secret, their own lives were more important. Although they didn't know if they would die if they told him, they were certain that if they didn't, they would die right now. However, Zhou Xuan ignored their pleas for mercy: "I've already told you, I've lost my patience."

"Please, don't kill me! I'll tell you everything!" he cried out in despair.

Often, no answer is the best answer.

Zhou Xuan smiled faintly. They weren't afraid; they just knew they were about to die.

That's why they're putting on this act. If they were really allowed to go home, with their Soul King father backing them up, they would quickly revert to their unruly ways.

"If you have anything else to say, go and say it to my throwing knife."

Under Zhou Xuan's control, the throwing knife began to vibrate slightly, and then, like a string of threads, it sliced ​​across the rounded necks.

Fresh blood splattered onto the delicacies and fine wine on the table.

"Your blood is a better match for fine food than wine." He flicked his finger, and the throwing knife transformed into a streak of light.

puff!puff!puff!
Heads rolled off one by one, and blood stained the white jade floor tiles crimson.

I already knew the answer I wanted from his reaction, so there was no need to waste any more time with them.

Just as the throwing knife was about to pierce the city lord's throat—

Clang!
A streak of dark sword light cleaved through the night sky, slicing away the flying knife as well!
The ropes binding him were also broken.

"Young friend, that's enough. You've killed those you needed to kill and done what you needed to do. How about you leave now?" A middle-aged man held a sword in one hand and looked at Zhou Xuan with a faint smile.

The city lord was overjoyed when he saw the man appear beside him.

"Kill him now!" the city lord roared.

The man with the sword glanced at him sideways: "Fat pig, I'm just doing this for money. Don't talk to me like that, understand?"

A flash of sword energy appeared, and a trickle of blood seeped from the city lord's neck.

He did not draw his sword again, but waited for Zhou Xuan's reply. As a sword cultivator, he had a feeling that if he drew his sword today, he would definitely die here.

Zhou Xuan was not surprised at all to see the man with the sword appear.

"Finally decided to show yourself?" He had sensed an aura locking onto him from the very beginning. At the time, he thought it was someone from the teahouse, so he revealed many flaws and secretly reminded Elder Xuan to be ready to make a move at any moment.

He had only tested the waters a few times without the other party making a move. Just when he thought this person would never make a move, the person made a move when he was about to kill the city lord.

"You noticed me a long time ago?" The sword-wielding man looked at Zhou Xuan with interest. "I'm curious, how did you find me?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head; this kind of information was definitely not something he could easily reveal: "None of that matters anymore."

If his senses were correct, the other party should be a Title Douluo. However, why would a Title Douluo risk his life for such a city lord?

At least, in his perception, the swordsman in front of him should not be an evil spirit master, mainly because the sword in his hand was too sharp.

"What, aren't you leaving yet?" The sword-wielding man slowly raised his right hand, the tip of the sword pointing at Zhou Xuan, and nine soul rings appeared on his body.

Two yellow, two purple, five black.

Titled Douluo!

"Black Sword Douluo - Gao Hongyu!" Uncle Wang squinted and stood in front of Zhou Xuan, also releasing his martial soul.

Although he only had eight rings, his aura was in no way weaker than his opponent's.

"Uncle Wang, it's alright." Zhou Xuan smiled, patted Uncle Wang's shoulder, and stood in front of Uncle Wang again.

He was more confident than a mere Title Douluo could kill him, let alone a purely physical attack like this.

"You helped him for money?" He had never heard of Gao Hongyu, but he knew a little about the Black Sword Douluo.

A notorious mercenary on the mainland, who only loves money and will do anything for money!
Gao Hongyu nodded: "Of course!" But seemingly feeling that it was a bit embarrassing for a Title Douluo to act as someone's bodyguard for money, he added: "He gave a lot!!! A really, really a lot!"

Zhou Xuan's lips curled up: "Tell me! How much did he give you?"

To get the protection of a Title Douluo would definitely cost a lot of money, but isn't this just a coincidence? Zhou Xuan is not short of money!

Moreover, since the other party loves money, that's my opportunity. After all, exchanging a little bit of gold and silver for a bodyguard of a Title Douluo is definitely a huge win!
Before Gao Hongyu could speak, the city lord became anxious.

His only reliance now is this Black Sword Douluo. If he were to defect, he would truly be doomed.

"Your Majesty Black Sword, you promised me, and I paid!" After the lesson he had just learned, his attitude had softened somewhat.

Gao Hongyu nodded and looked at Zhou Xuan: "I always follow the rules. If you break my rules for money, would you dare to hire me?"

Zhou Xuan's eyes lit up, and he was even more satisfied.

You like rules? That's great!
"Your Majesty, could you tell me how long you intend to protect him? I imagine hiring a Title Douluo to protect him must cost quite a bit of money, right?"

Gao Hongyu nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, but my agreement with him expires tomorrow. At least until tomorrow, if you make a move against him, I will protect him, since I have paid the money."

Zhou Xuan nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, I'll give you face and not make a move against him before tomorrow. But does Your Majesty have any plans to take on another mission?"

Gao Hongyu's expression shifted; he was wide awake when money was involved: "Tell me about it?"

"How much did he pay you?"

"Five million gold soul coins to protect him for five days." This is much more profitable than hunting a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and there's no danger involved.

As for where a Soul King like him got so much money, that's none of his business.

Zhou Xuan nodded, surprised that it was such a good deal: "How about this, after this commission, you'll work for me for 30 million a month? How about that?"

With his strength, he could rival a Title Douluo in three to five years at most, which would only take a few billion gold soul coins.

value!
Upon hearing this, Gao Hongyu's breathing became noticeably rapid.

He was worried about what to do next after finishing this easy job that paid five million, but unexpectedly, a lucky charm came to his door.

"Are you serious?"

Zhou Xuan nodded: "Of course it's true, this is the deposit."

He tossed out a gold card.

"You should recognize this VIP card from the money exchange, right?"

As a result of this gold card, Gao Hongyu was completely certain that this young master was no ordinary person with money.

Having this card means that it contains at least 100 million gold soul coins!

"Okay! I promise you!"

"But I have one condition: you have to bring him along!"

Gao Hongyu frowned: "I said, we can't do anything to him before tomorrow."

"Of course I won't make things difficult for you. After all, your employment relationship expires tomorrow, doesn't it?"

Gao Hongyu grinned, revealing eight big white teeth: "Kid, you're pretty ruthless, aren't you? But I like it!"
I've had my eye on this fat pig for a long time. If it weren't for the money, I would have chopped him down with my sword!
