Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 57: King, that was all the Zhang family asked us to do!
Just as the ten silver needles shot out by Su Wanyun were about to hit Ren Xingze's body, Ren Xingze suddenly turned around, chopped back with a knife, and a gust of knife wind slashed towards the ten silver needles, directly chopping all of them away.

Ren Xingze sneered and said, "The dignified Xiaoyao Palace is now resorting to such unpresentable tactics. If Lu Xiaoyao knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Isn't it presentable?"

"So, what do you think is presentable?"

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Ren Xingze glanced at the rooftops around the courtyard, then said, "If you have the guts, get that sneak attacker out!"

Lu Ming smiled faintly and said nothing more.

The next moment, he directly controlled the ten small swords on the ground to fly up.

Seeing the ten small swords floating around Ren Xingze, Ren Xingze and Su Wanyun's brains suddenly shook, and they stood there in a daze.

They both thought that someone had secretly thrown these flying swords, but now they realized that it was not someone else who threw these flying swords, but someone was directly controlling these flying swords, and the person controlling these flying swords seemed to be right in front of them...

Ren Xingze's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Lu Ming in disbelief, who was emitting blue spiritual energy.

Normally, those above the fifth rank can mobilize their true Qi, and those at the second rank can release their true Qi, but only the Grandmaster can control objects with Qi.

But Lu Ming was clearly not a martial artist. He had no talent for martial arts since childhood and had never practiced martial arts before. He couldn't possibly be a martial arts master either. That left only one possibility...

Ren Xingze said with a pale face: "You...you are an immortal!"

"No...impossible!"

"How could you be an immortal?"

Lu Ming said indifferently, "You can easily block one or two swords, but I don't know if you can block ten swords."

As soon as he finished speaking, ten small swords floating around Ren Xingze stabbed at Ren Xingze at the same time. Ren Xingze hurriedly waved his sword to block. For a moment, the whole yard was filled with tinkling sounds and sparks flew all over the sky.

Ren Xingze gritted his teeth, feeling very unwilling. They had calculated everything, but they had never expected that King Xiaoyao was hiding so deeply. He was actually an immortal!
Seeing that Ren Xingze barely blocked his flying sword, Lu Ming thought to himself that it seemed that his "Sword Control Technique" was still not very proficient and the speed was too slow. Only a first-class master could defend against it.

Just as Lu Ming was thinking this, a flying sword suddenly pierced through Ren Xingze's arm, cutting a gash directly. Ren Xingze, who had been able to barely resist these flying swords just now, was injured and it was as if his power was broken. For a moment, these flying swords left wounds of varying degrees on Ren Xingze's body, and Ren Xingze was covered in blood.

Ren Xingze glanced at Lu Ming, then he gripped the knife tightly in his hand, kicked his legs, and pounced in front of Lu Ming in an instant like a ferocious tiger. Then he poured all his energy into the knife and slashed at Lu Ming, wanting to kill Lu Ming and interrupt the flying swords.

However, his attack was the same as before. Just when his knife was about to touch Lu Ming, it was blocked by an invisible force. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through Lu Ming's dragon energy protection.

Ren Xingze yelled, "Damn it!!!"

At this time, Lu Ming continued to control the flying sword to attack Ren Xingze. Ren Xingze distanced himself from Lu Ming and began to deal with those flying swords again.

While dealing with the flying sword, he tried to escape from the Xiaoyao Palace. He had no chance of winning against the immortal, not to mention that Lu Ming was protected by dragon energy. He had now completely forgotten about the mission and cursed all eighteen generations of the Zhang family in his heart.

At this time, after Ren Xingze cut off the three flying swords that were stabbing at him with a knife, he planned to jump over the wall and escape from Xiaoyao Palace. However, as soon as he jumped into the air, there was no place to gain leverage in the air. Lu Ming's flying swords stabbed at him from several directions at the same time, directly piercing his legs, and Ren Xingze's body fell from the air.

Seeing that his flying sword only pierced Ren Xingze's legs and did not penetrate him directly, Lu Ming once again realized the weakness of his own power.

However, no matter how weak he is now, Ren Xingze can't do anything to him. His biggest advantage is that he is protected by dragon energy, and Ren Xingze can't hurt him.

If he didn't have the dragon energy to protect his body, as long as Ren Xingze attacked him, his ability to control the flying sword would be greatly reduced, which would not only distract his attention, but might also seriously injure him. In that case, he would not be a match for Ren Xingze.

Seeing that Ren Xingze was already injured, Lu Ming once again controlled the flying sword and stabbed Ren Xingze's body repeatedly. This attack method, similar to the slow slicing, made Ren Xingze feel extremely painful. He hurriedly shouted, "Great... King, spare my life!!!"

"As long as the king spares my life, I am willing to tell the king anything!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming finally stopped flying his sword. He asked without hesitation, "Which faction are you from?"

Ren Xingze blurted out, "I'm from Baihualou."

"what!"

As soon as Ren Xingze finished speaking, Lu Ming controlled the flying sword and stabbed it directly at Ren Xingze's kidney.

Lu Ming sneered and said, "You may not know yet, Baihua Tower is my power."

Hearing this, Ren Xingze was stunned.

Baihua Tower is the power of King Xiaoyao???

Why didn't he know?
Lu Ming then asked, "Since you know that I am an immortal, yet you still attempt to lie to me, it seems you think I have no means to pry the truth out of you!"

Ren Xingze suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He just wanted to frame someone, so how could he forget this?

The methods of immortals are mysterious and unpredictable, and he doesn't want to try them.

Ren Xingze quickly said, "My lord, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance!"

"I'm from the Blood Cloud Tower. The Zhang family asked us to assassinate you!"

Hearing Ren Xingze's words, Lu Ming immediately used the "Telepathic Technique" on Ren Xingze.

【Panic, fear.】

Feeling that Ren Xingze's inner emotion was only fear and he had no inclination to lie, Lu Ming believed what Ren Xingze said.

Lu Ming then asked, "Speaking of Blood Cloud Tower, I'm curious about one thing. Why would a killer organization like yours, Blood Cloud Tower, send people to disrupt the cloth business of Xiaoyao Palace?"

Ren Xingze was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that after Lu Ming heard that he was from the Blood Cloud Tower, he didn't ask about the Blood Cloud Tower, but instead asked about this little thing.

After Ren Xingze came back to his senses, he immediately asked, "My lord, that was all done by the Zhang family."

Lu Ming frowned, Zhang family?

Lu Ming continued to ask, "A killer organization that is feared by the world of Jianghu doesn't engage in the business of killing people, but instead does this kind of dirty work. What kind of killers are you?"

Ren Xingze was a little confused. He didn't expect Lu Ming to say such a thing.

Ren Xingze endured the severe pain in his body and said, "Your Majesty, that's all in the past. Ever since the Blood Cloud Tower was destroyed overnight by Lu Xianren fifteen years ago, its strength has been reduced to one tenth of what it was. Without the support of the Zhang family, the Blood Cloud Tower might not have been able to recover to its current strength. Whatever the Zhang family asks us to do, we have no choice but to do it, even if we don't want to."

Hearing the words "Lu Xianren", Lu Ming was startled. His father had actually destroyed the Blood Cloud Tower? How come he had never heard of this?

But this is not important. What is important is that he now knows a force that is secretly targeting their Xiaoyao Palace.
