I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

The battle on Chang Street quickly escalated into a fierce confrontation. As soon as they clashed, it entered a state of intense combat.

Deng Guogong's men shouted "kill the thieves," regarding the assassins as bandits. Even in the face of heavy casualties from the surprise attack, they did not retreat and displayed unparalleled bravery.

The assassins, on the other hand, also shouted "kill the thieves," angrily cursing Deng Guogong as a traitorous bandit. They were willing to sacrifice their lives and even in their dying moments, they wanted to take down as many enemies as possible.

The guards berated the assassins for not understanding loyalty and righteousness, accusing them of undermining the authority of the court.

The assassins, in turn, cursed the guards as beasts and lapdogs, causing harm to the common people.

Only Deng Guogong sat high in his carriage, opening the curtains that blocked the sunlight. He maintained an air of mystery and calmly observed the chaos and melee below, laughing coldly.

It was as if he was watching a group of dogs barking and fighting.

"I thought the Langhuan Heavenly Palace had countless means and strategies, but is this '737' assassination the best they can do? It seems I have underestimated the reputation of the holy land!" he sneered.

It was not surprising that he was so relaxed. Although the assassins had planned meticulously and pushed themselves to the limit, the elite forces of Deng Guogong's mansion ultimately had the advantage. His carriage was also a specially made magical tool, not so easily breached. Moreover, Yongzhou was his territory, and the army outside the city could quickly send reinforcements. What could these mere assassins do when they were at their wit's end?

However, an elderly attendant by his side frowned and said to him, "Guogong, you must not be careless. These assassins have made careful arrangements and seized precise opportunities. There may still be a hidden move. It would be best to take advantage of the entanglement between our troops and theirs and quickly turn the carriage around to meet up with the army outside the city."

Deng Guogong laughed heartily and arrogantly replied, "How can ants stop a carriage? Zou Gong, you worry too much..."

As soon as the words fell, an assassin suddenly broke through a corner of the personal army formation. Several people exerted their strength to lift up one assassin and pushed him towards the carriage.

The assassin who arrived in mid-air opened his clothes, revealing that his body was bound with explosives. He intended to charge straight towards Duke Deng's location and die together with him.

This startled Duke Deng: "Is this person crazy?"

However, he still pretended to be calm, feeling that his carriage's defense was not afraid of the explosives the other party had.

On the other hand, the old man beside him narrowed his eyes and realized something was wrong. He immediately made a move.

Between the gathering and releasing of his spiritual power, a tremendous pressure was formed. It created a force field barrier in front of the assassin who was attempting to self-detonate. Then, he activated the protective talismans on his body, protecting both himself and Duke Deng.

The old man could see clearly that although these assassins were fierce and brave, their cultivation levels were not high. Most of them were only at the Foundation Building stage, barely on par with the elite soldiers. They were able to suppress the personal army because they took the initiative and possessed strange and unpredictable power mixed in with their spiritual power, different from ordinary cultivators.

But he was a Gold Core cultivator. Even if the situation was sudden, this move should have crushed the assassin who charged towards him. In addition to the protection of the carriage and himself, even if the assassin detonated the explosives on his body, it would not cause much harm.

Unexpectedly, the assassin, whose strength was far inferior to the old man, surprisingly survived the old man's attack. Even though his whole body was like a blood gourd, with flesh and skin rolling, and many bones exposed, he still roared and rushed towards the carriage.

Anger, hatred, and various emotions converged into a satisfied smile on the determined face of the assassin.

"Die, you cooks!"

The explosives on his body suddenly blazed up.

Amidst the roaring sound, there was no light and heat that matched the sound effects. The light and heat of the giant star were gathered by some kind of force, like a jet, penetrating the protective barrier of Deng Guogong's carriage.

The old man beside Deng Guogong, who was already astonished by the assassin's resilience and determination, was even more shocked at this moment: "Sword intent!"

Originally reluctant to use various self-defense techniques, protective skills, and magical tools, they were now fully activated!

Even so, Deng Guogong's carriage was no longer salvageable. In front of everyone's eyes, it was crushed into pieces by this sword intent, which was cleverly gathered either within the explosive or after the explosion.

Thanks to the old man's experienced and timely response, he and Deng Guogong narrowly escaped. Under the tremendous impact, they both coughed up several mouthfuls of blood before finally recovering.

On the street, a deep pit at least ten meters wide and several meters deep appeared, with many mutilated corpses around it. These were the loyal soldiers and assassins who were affected by the blast.

And this was still the result after the old man had done his best to block most of the impact. It can be seen how powerful the assassin's life-threatening move was.

"Bo Gong!" Deng Guogong finally panicked this time. He didn't expect to face such a fierce attack up close. If it weren't for this trip, he would have already been blown to pieces if he didn't have the strongest cultivator from his own family by his side, willing to take this blow for him.

The old man, Bo Gong, also coughed up blood and said, "It's nothing. Although this sword intent is extremely terrifying, it is ultimately just the residual power sealed within the explosive, greatly weakened. With my strength, I can still withstand it. However..."

He didn't need to say more. Deng Guogong also realized that their situation was not good.

That explosion not only destroyed his carriage but also eliminated most of his loyal soldiers, especially the group of elite Spirit Gathering stage guards who protected him closely.

Although the assassins were also affected, they were far away and suffered much less loss.

At this moment, the situation on the scene has already reversed. The number of people on his side is actually much fewer than the assassins. Unfortunately, Bogong himself is heavily injured in order to resist that sword intent.

If the assassins have any new tricks, he is truly in danger.

Do the assassins have any new tricks?

Indeed they do!

"In the name of Huangtian, for peace and prosperity!"

Seeing that the guards of Duke Dengguo are heavily damaged, the assassins become excited. Someone suddenly shouts a slogan that is unfamiliar to Duke Dengguo.

Then, more assassins shout the same slogan.

With this slogan, the assassins obviously enter a kind of frenzy state. There are visible or faint yellow lights on their bodies. These 2.4 yellow lights not only give them more powerful strength, faster speed, and sharper reflexes, but also visibly enhanced recovery ability, tougher physical bodies, and more terrifying killing power...

"This is..." Bogong suddenly remembers something and his expression changes drastically.

"Bogong, what did you discover?" Duke Dengguo nervously asks as he notices that the old man seems to have made a discovery. This is the first time he has felt fear... no, it should be the second time. The first time was when the barbarians of the North Frontier brought it to him in the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty. But this already indicates the terrifying level of these assassins around him, which has been elevated to an unprecedented level.

Bogong's face turns pale, he grabs Duke Dengguo's arm and says, "My lord, I will lead you to break through. These assassins have divine protection!"
