Evil of all ages

Chapter 61 The Strongest Blow

"Just ask your eldest brother."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zigui and the other three all turned to look at Yu Xuan.

"He was moving too fast, making it impossible for you to keep up. I barely noticed him either."

Yu Xuan spoke with intense inner turmoil.

Upon hearing this, Feng Zigui and the others all turned pale.

They can't even keep up with the others' movement speed, so what can they use to fight back?

Is the opponent a peak-level expert specializing in speed?
Or have you already reached that level?
"You five heroes of Guanshan have innate martial artists among you, so you should not be unknown figures in the martial arts world. Why did you come here to be managers of the Ghost Market?"

Huang Taichu's Greedy World-Devouring Gu is not omnipotent; it cannot read other people's memories. And most people in the Ghost Market only saw Yu Xuan and his group wearing masks.

They had never seen their true faces, and knew nothing of their identities, let alone talked about Yu Xuan and his group's past.

The identities of Yu Xuan and his group were only learned from a brief mention by one of Yu Xuan's men when he was drunk.

"We are from Guanshan..."

Yu Xuan knew that such powerful figures wanted to know about their past, and they couldn't hide it from them at all, so why not just tell them frankly?

After listening, Huang Taichu had a general understanding of Yu Xuan and the others.

In the Guanshan area, Yu Xuan and his companions performed acts of chivalry and justice, thus earning the reputation of the Five Heroes of Guanshan.

Who would have thought that the local people would betray them, causing them to be besieged by all the bandits in Guanshan.

If Feng Zigui hadn't broken through to the Innate Realm amidst adversity, they would have perished there.

They were left with nothing but despair for the people who had betrayed them, and they did not choose revenge.

But by then they had seen through the nature of humanity and stopped acting as chivalrous heroes.

But they didn't act chivalrously, and the local people blamed them, saying they were unworthy of being called the Five Heroes of Guanshan because they didn't do anything about the rampant bandits.

Faced with such accusations of ingratitude, Yu Xuan and his group could neither afford to offend them nor avoid them.

He tried to dodge, and trouble ensued.

The vengeful bandits killed the ungrateful people and framed them for the crime.

They were wronged, but there was nothing they could do.

Because they were dealing with collusion between officials and bandits.

As a result, they were wanted by the authorities.

Faced with the pressure from the swordsmiths and the Zhenwu Division, they fled all over the world in hiding.

Ultimately, they chose the most dangerous place as the safest place, and they came to the capital and hid in the ghost market.

Concealing his identity, he created the Mingxin Pavilion and jointly managed the Ghost Market with Xinghuo and Dengri.

Seeing that Huang Taichu remained silent, Yu Xuan and the others became uneasy. Could it be that he had changed his mind after hearing their story?

Instead of trying to subdue them, they killed them.

Seeing the nervous expressions on Yu Xuan's face, Huang Taichu knew what they were thinking.

To keep them in suspense, the gaze shifted to a house.

"They should have done you a favor, and you really don't care about them at all?"

Huang Taichu asked.

Yu Xuan and the other four exchanged glances, but they didn't think the person inside the room could solve the problem.

"咹"

The door to the room opened.

An elderly man with white hair sat in a wooden wheelchair and rolled the wheels out of the room.

The old man looked very dejected, giving the impression that he was not only a broken person, but also self-destructive and unwilling to wake up.

Huang Taichu stroked his chin. This old man had fallen from the late stage of the Innate Realm to the middle stage. Even though he was in a state of decline, his sword intent had not completely dissipated.

Instead, due to the grinding wheel of time, it becomes fleeting, carrying a hint of destructive vitality.

"Your Excellency, even if I wanted to repay the kindness they have shown me over the years, I cannot do it."

"Even if I were in my prime, not to mention my current state, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your match."

The dejected old man said calmly.

"Deliver your strongest blow to me."

Huang Taichu said.

"Your Excellency, why bother with this?"

The dejected old man felt it was pointless; why couldn't they just let him go?

"If you don't do it, I'll kill them."

Huang Taichu looked at Yu Xuan and the other four, his expression conveying the message that if they didn't intervene, they would die.

"Ah~"

The dejected old man first sighed.

Looking up at Huang Taichu, his cloudy gaze became as sharp as a sword.

The swords in the hands of the surrounding guards trembled due to the resonance. "Su"

The old man, dejected, unleashed all his innate true energy, knowing he could only unleash one strike, so he was going to throw it all at him.

All the innate true energy gathered in front of him, condensing into a sword of true energy.

The sword of true energy was wrapped with a sword intent that seemed to have broken through to the heavens, and also carried a trace of the destructive power of time.

Yu Xuan and the other four dared not even breathe loudly.

Even though the sword of true energy wasn't aimed at them, they felt as if they were locked on, with nowhere to escape.

Even though they knew that the immense power of the True Qi Sword had influenced their judgment and created a misconception.

But this made them truly believe that it was an unstoppable sword of destruction.

“涑”

In an instant, the sword light shot towards Huang Taichu with the force of breaking through the sky.

"buzz"

Stuck
It was caught between Huang Taichu's two wicked fingers.

This scene left Yu Xuan and his group of five dumbfounded; they had thought Huang Taichu would hide.

Even if Huang Taichu were to play the hero in front of them and block them head-on, it would still be difficult or he would suffer some setbacks.

Who would have thought it would be so easy? Without even moving a step, he simply raised his hand and easily caught it.

"Cough...cough..."

The dejected old man was also stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he was coughing violently.

He was old, and all the hidden ailments in his body were suppressed by his powerful internal energy. Now he condensed all his internal energy into a sword and launched it.

How could he suppress the hidden ailment within his body?

Sure enough, he coughed up blood, and his breathing became much weaker.

Just like an old man with one foot in the coffin.

The next second, a scene that horrified Yu Xuan and the others unfolded.

They saw Huang Taichu slightly raise the hand holding the sword of true energy, inhale through his nose, and the sword of true energy transformed into the purest true energy, which Huang Taichu absorbed.

This this……

Even demonic arts aren't this monstrous.

"Not bad, your internal energy is quite pure."

Huang Taichu said with a smile.

"Ahem...May I ask who you are?"

The dejected old man suspected that Huang Taichu might be from a reclusive family or sect, possessing such incredible skills.

"Me? Just a lowly jailer."

Huang Taichu said calmly.

"You...you are the son of the Ghost King!"

Upon hearing that he was a prison guard, and given his unbelievable methods, Yu Xuan and the others immediately guessed that Huang Taichu was the son of the Ghost King in the South City Prison.

"Could the rumors be true? You really do have a Ghost King father?"

Seeing that all the thousand people in Mingxin Pavilion were motionless, and that Huang Taichu was absorbing his true energy with his sword, the dejected old man couldn't help but suspect that the rumors were true.

"It's fake; it's just a trick I use to manipulate people."

Huang Taichu smiled.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan and the others believed it. After all, they were like fish on a chopping block, and Huang Taichu had no reason to lie to them.

But since it doesn't involve anything supernatural or ghostly, isn't Huang Taichu's ability a bit too illegal?

"I love listening to stories. Tell me your story."

Huang Taichu is asking the dejected old man about his past.

My name is Xia Chaojun.

The dejected old man said his name.

"Oh, what then?"

Huang Taichu told him to continue.

"You don't know me?"

Xia Chaojun was frustrated. How could this son of the Ghost King be just like Xiaobai? He didn't even know about the Five Heroes of Guanshan, let alone that Xia Chaojun had heard of them.

It's no wonder he thought that way; Huang Taichu was a person who often frequented places of romance and pleasure, and was someone who lived for the moment.

If Huang Taichu really wanted to know something, he could just ask the people imprisoned on the third level of the Heavenly Prison, who were almost all from the martial arts world.

But he neither asked nor inquired; he was either out witting and outmaneuvering Di Qingtian or going to brothels.

I only thought of listening to other people's stories today because I was out doing something serious.
