Chapter 66 Another Grandmaster!

At Zhou Hanwen's command, the assassins of Blood Moon Tower charged directly towards the direction of the Imperial Guards soldiers, braving the rain of arrows.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen was already used to it. Last time when he dealt with the deputy leader of the Blood Moon Tower, those ninth-rank experts from the Blood Moon Tower also charged forward despite the rain of arrows.

It must be said that before gunpowder was invented, the status of martial artists was still unshakeable.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen arrived!

Lu Chen then distributed the grenades to the Imperial Guard soldiers. He had only used a dozen or so grenades to kill the Blood Moon Tower assassins last time, so he still had quite a few left.

Lu Chen then said to the Imperial Guard soldiers, "Throw grenades the way I do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen pulled the safety pin, held the grenade in his hand for a moment, and then threw it directly in the direction where Zhou Hanwen was.

Lu Chen's system could recognize people, and he immediately saw that the man in white was the master of the Blood Moon Tower. In addition, he was now a ninth-grade martial artist with great strength, so he easily threw the grenade into the air above Zhou Hanwen.

Zhou Hanwen had a very strong sense of perception. His gaze immediately locked onto the round object in the sky. Although he didn't know what it was, Zhou Hanwen felt a strong sense of crisis.

The round object looked like a stone, but Zhou Hanwen didn't believe that the people in the Prince's Mansion had run out of arrows and could only throw stones. It was clearly a weapon with some special characteristics.

Zhou Hanwen quickly jumped back a few steps.

Although Zhou Hanwen jumped away, the martial artists around him did not react in time.

The grenade exploded in mid-air, and with a loud bang, countless fragments flew out. Several martial artists below the grenade had their heads pierced by fragments.

These warriors might be able to defend themselves against arrows that have a clear path, but when faced with the extremely fast and scattering fragments of grenades, they have almost no way to escape except to dodge.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Hanwen's face instantly darkened.

Although he guessed that this was a weapon specially made for the Prince's Palace, he never expected that the weapon would be so powerful.

Even ninth-rank martial artists had no chance of survival against this weapon; in the blink of an eye, Blood Moon Tower lost several ninth-rank martial artists.

Zhou Hanwen originally thought that the Prince's mansion had a mysterious grandmaster. The reason why the Northern Prince was able to survive several assassination attempts by the Blood Moon Tower was entirely due to that mysterious grandmaster.

Now it seems they were completely wrong!

Even if the Northern King's Mansion didn't have that mysterious grandmaster, just with this mysterious weapon alone, even if the Northern King's Mansion didn't have a single martial artist, it would still be no easy task for the Blood Moon Tower's assassins to kill the Northern King.

Everyone said that the Northern King was a good-for-nothing, but now it seems that the whole world has been deceived!

Possessing such a terrifying weapon without letting a word of it leak out, the Northern King must be plotting something.

But none of that matters anymore; what matters is how he can kill the Northern King under these circumstances!

Perhaps because Zhou Hanwen, the leader of the Blood Moon Pavilion, was personally leading the team, the assassins of the Blood Moon Pavilion did not lose their composure even though the first grenade took away several ninth-rank martial artists.

This surprised Lu Chen somewhat.

However, Lu Chen did not intend to give them time to react. The next moment, he continued to throw grenades, and the other Jinyiwei soldiers who were holding grenades also threw them out in the same way Lu Chen had just done.

Then a dozen or so grenades exploded above the Blood Moon Tower assassin's head.

The poor Blood Moon Tower assassins suffered heavy casualties before even seeing the Northern King himself, with only a few remaining.

Zhou Hanwen panicked at this point.

He hadn't expected that in such a short time, almost all of the people he brought with him would be gone!

These assassins are all elites of the Blood Moon Tower!

In the past, these assassins could easily assassinate not only a prince, but even the emperor of some small countries. However, today they didn't even see a Northern King, and almost all of their men were already dead.

The weapons of the Northern Prince's Mansion are terrifying!

No!

He must leave the Northern Prince's Mansion immediately!

The fact that the Northern Prince's weapons have remained a secret is because any outsiders who saw them were killed; otherwise, the Great Xia would have had no information about them at all.

This is a weapon powerful enough to overturn the world of martial arts!

If people were to find out that the Northern Prince's Mansion possessed such a weapon, the entire martial arts world would likely tremble, and the status of martial artists would plummet.

Zhou Hanwen thought to himself that although he might not be able to kill the Northern King, as long as he escaped and spread the news that the Northern King's mansion possessed such a powerful weapon, it wouldn't be long before the Northern King was assassinated by martial arts masters from all over the world.

He didn't believe that the Northern King could protect himself at that time!

Thinking of this, Zhou Hanwen turned around and prepared to run away.

However, the moment he turned around, he saw a man dressed in red with a long sword at his waist leaning against the door frame at the gate of the Prince's mansion.

The moment Zhou Hanwen saw Qin Yushan, his pupils contracted slightly.

Another grandmaster!

And this is no ordinary grandmaster!

He had seen this man before!

This is the assassin known in the martial arts world as the Blood Demon Mad Blade!

When this man was a powerful figure in the martial arts world, there was no Blood Moon Tower yet, and he had only seen this man once from afar.

Zhou Hanwen never expected to see this man again in this place!

Zhou Hanwen had only one thought in his mind: to escape!

Putting aside the mysterious weapons of the Prince's mansion, the Blood Demon Blade alone is something he cannot deal with.

More than a decade ago, others were already grandmasters. Even if Qin Yushan is still a grandmaster now, his strength is infinitely close to that of a great grandmaster.

This is not something a martial artist like him, who has only recently entered the Grandmaster realm, can contend with!

Zhou Hanwen couldn't understand why the Blood Demon Mad Blade would appear in the Northern Prince's Mansion!

He actually became the Northern King's subordinate!

How did the Northern King manage to do it?

Qin Yushan then said with a smile, "Zhou Hanwen, the Deadly Scholar and the Master of Blood Moon Tower, I have long wanted to see your Iron Fan. It seems that my wish has finally come true today."

After hearing Qin Yushan's words, Zhou Hanwen came back to his senses.

Now is not the time to think about those things. Now that he knows how terrifying the Northern King's Mansion is, the Northern King is even less likely to let him leave. If he wants to escape, he must first deal with Qin Yushan in front of him.

Zhou Hanwen then took out a fan, opened it with a "whoosh," and said, "Then please enlighten me, senior!"

As he spoke, Zhou Hanwen waved his fan, and more than a dozen sharp needles flew towards Qin Yushan.

After easily dodging the sharp needles, Qin Yushan took a step forward and, like a cannonball, instantly rushed towards Zhou Hanwen.

The best way to deal with Zhou Hanwen's concealed weapon-type ranged weapon is to close the distance.

However, Zhou Hanwen's iron fan was obviously not only capable of launching hidden weapons. He then forcefully pulled his wrist back, and the fan closed. The next moment, a sword blade appeared at the front of the fan.

At this moment, Zhou Hanwen's iron fan transformed into a sword.

Then, the two began to fight at close range. Sparks flew everywhere as their blades and fans clashed. The protective qi on their bodies was fully released, and the floor tiles around them were lifted up.
