The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Xu Miaoyun pointed her finger at a pistol, her lips parted slightly, and she made one sound after another.

The compressed air projectiles, like machine gun fire, were fired one after another from her index finger.

This scene is just like that of Frieza.

An invisible shockwave swept through the crowd, and with each "bang," several people were thrown into the air.

Some people were blown away and tumbled to their feet, while others were hit again as soon as they got up...

The dozens of people in the courtyard were completely routed and utterly defeated by Xu Miaoyun all by herself.

Not far away, Wang Defa and Huang Zi'an, who were standing in the corner, were dumbfounded.

Huang Zi'an's mouth was agape, and he couldn't close it for a long time. He almost dropped the knife in his hand.

He originally thought that since Miss Xu stayed behind to trap them like turtles in a jar, they would have to fight it out.

The results of it?

The girl stood at the door, raised her hands, and simply uttered a few words.

The thirty or forty people on the other side were blown up and knocked off their feet.

This is too amazing!

"Lord Wang..." Huang Zi'an swallowed hard. "This... this is hardly our place to make a move?"

Wang Defa did not respond.

In fact, he himself was also confused.

Ordinary people cannot see air cannonballs.

So in his eyes, Xu Miaoyun simply raised her arm and softly said "bang".

Then the group of people that Hu Wan brought were sent flying.

If you didn't know that the current situation is a life-or-death struggle, you would think that the two sides are rigging the game.

Wang Defa stared at the farce unfolding before him for a long while before finally managing to utter a single sentence:

"…… I don't know either."

Huang Zi'an gave him a speechless look.

I didn't know you were still hesitating for so long?

On the other side...

"Hu... Boss!" Zhao An almost called out the other person's name again, but fortunately he changed his words at the critical moment.

He grabbed Hu Wan's arm, pulled him close, and huddled behind him, anxiously saying, "Boss, that woman knows sorcery! The brothers can't hold her off!"

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Hu Wan was furious and roared, "We have to hold on, even if we can't! This isn't child's play. If we can't take her down, we'll die!"

He abruptly stood up and roared at his remaining men:

"Everyone, scatter in all directions! As long as you don't get pointed at by that woman's finger, you'll be fine!"

Don't assume that people in ancient times were stupid; in fact, they were much smarter. They may have been limited by the times and didn't seem as quick-witted as modern people.

But when it comes to scheming and plotting, that's a different story.

Those naive and foolish college students are easily taken advantage of and even have to help the perpetrators count the money.

With Hu Wan's command

Those men who had narrowly escaped death and were not seriously injured immediately scattered in all directions.

Seeing this scene, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but sigh.

She thought she could take them all down in one go.

Unexpectedly, they still figured out the secret of the air pistol.

This weapon is powerful, but you have to hit it one shot at a time.

Once the people dispersed, she had to aim at them one by one.

Without further thought, she turned and shouted at Wang Defa and Huang Zi'an, who were poised to pounce in the corner:

"Let's do it!"

Wang Defa and Huang Zi'an immediately raised their long swords and roared in unison, "Brothers, kill these bandits!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd that had been lying in ambush rushed forward.

Taking advantage of the fact that the thieves were disoriented and scattered by the bomb, he slashed them head-on.

After a chaotic battle,

The courtyard finally quieted down.

The group of people that Hu Wan and Zhao An brought were either dead or crippled, lying scattered all over the ground, none of them able to stand up.

However, unexpectedly,

Hu Wan and Zhao An were surprisingly still alive.

The two were bound hand and foot, like two sick chickens, and were escorted and pushed all the way to Xu Miaoyun.

Zhao An's face was covered in bruises, and the black cloth covering his face had long since fallen off. He was trembling like a leaf, unable to even stand steadily.

Hu Wan wasn't seriously injured, but his face was ashen. He stared intently at the girl in green before him, his lips pressed tightly together, not uttering a single word.

"What are you looking at? Kneel down right now!"

Two soldiers stepped forward and kicked the two men in the back of the knees.

Hu Wan and Zhao An both knelt down with a thud.

He knelt down suddenly and heavily, his knees slamming against the bluestone floor with a dull thud.

Hu Wan immediately winced in pain and gasped for breath.

He suddenly turned his head and stared intently at the soldier who had kicked him.

The soldier was a local from Qingshui County. When he was glared at by him, he was initially intimidated.

Who in Qingshui County hasn't heard of the ruthless reputation of this head of the Hu family?

But then I thought about it again and realized that I was now working for a prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the person standing behind me was a true god.

I'm not afraid of him at all!

Instead of retreating, the soldier stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped Hu Wan hard across the face.

"What? You're not happy about it?"

The slap was quite forceful, causing Hu Wan to stagger. The hairpin on his head fell to the ground with a snap, his hair became disheveled, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly turned his head, staring intently at the soldier with eyes filled with malice and hatred, and said, word by word:

"Fine, very well, kid, I'll remember you. Later, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Faced with Hu Wan's threat.

The soldier, however, was not afraid at all. Instead, he grinned and said, "Oh, you dare to threaten me? You're asking for a beating."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and, with both hands, slapped Hu Wan across the face one after another.

But after only a few blows, Hu Wan couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" he begged repeatedly, his earlier bravado completely gone.

The soldier took a few more hits, satisfied his urge, and then finally stopped.

Then look at Hu Wan's face.

Good heavens, it's swollen like a pig's head, covered in bruises, its eyes are squinted into two slits, and its mouth is crooked to one side, just like Qiu Xiang in the movie who was hit by the Disfigurement Kick.

The soldier spat in front of him and cursed, "What are you pretending to be, all high and mighty?"

Hu Wan was filled with hatred, wishing he could tear the boy in front of him to pieces.

But outwardly, he dared not show it at all.

Because when this kid hits someone, it really hurts.

As for Xu Miaoyun, she stood aside with her arms crossed the whole time, looking on with great interest as if she were watching a good show.

She's not some saintly hypocrite.

They've brought their men to the gate; they want her dead, and they want everyone in the courtyard dead.

If someone were to jump out now and say, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!", what kind of brain-dead person would be?

Being soft-hearted towards the enemy is being cruel to your own people.

They're getting off easy by getting slapped a few times now.

Xu Miaoyun's lips curled slightly as she stepped forward and addressed the two:

"Patriarch Zhao, Patriarch Hu, we meet again."

However, Xu Miaoyun's casual remark sent a shiver down Zhao An's spine.

He shuddered as if bitten hard by something, then became agitated, shouting and yelling at his surroundings in a shrill, trembling voice:

"A monster! This woman is a monster!"

"Huang Zi'an! Wang Defa! Did you both see that just now? That woman is a monster!"

"If you don't get rid of her now, she'll devour you all one by one!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, his bound body twisting and turning as if trying to break free and escape.

Even the constables who were holding him down almost couldn't restrain him.

Xu Miaoyun frowned as she looked at Zhao An, who was shouting and yelling.

Before she could even speak, a sensible constable immediately rushed forward from behind her.

"What the hell is your dog's bark?"

Without saying a word, the constable went up and gave him a good beating, cursing as he did so:

"Are you blind?! How dare you call our girl a monster? You're the monster, your whole family are monsters!"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? A prisoner of war dares to shout and yell here!"

Zhao An was beaten so badly that he howled in pain. His previous crazy energy was almost completely gone, leaving him only able to cover his head and wail.

Hu Wan turned his head and glanced at Zhao An, who was howling in pain from the beating, and squeezed out a word through gritted teeth: "Idiot!"

Xu Miaoyun's gaze fell on him.

She sized him up for a moment and said, "You say he's stupid, but your situation doesn't seem to be much better than his."

Although Hu Wan was kneeling on the ground with a pig's head, he stood up straight.

He stiffened his neck, met Xu Miaoyun's gaze, and said, word by word, "Why should I be afraid? Although you won this round, I haven't lost yet."

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Xu Miaoyun asked curiously.

Hu Wan snorted coldly, his voice loud and clear, as if he were both encouraging himself and intimidating the other party.

"You didn't expect this, did you? Before we set off, I had already sent someone to inform my subordinates."

"I believe it won't be long before my men surround this place."

He stared at Xu Miaoyun, a cold smile creeping onto his lips: "When the time comes, none of you will escape!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zi'an was immediately enraged.

You, a defeated man, still dare to be so arrogant?

Who gave you the courage?

So he immediately stood up, pointed at Hu Wan's nose, and cursed, "Hu Wan! You're about to die, and you're still being stubborn?"

"No matter how many men you have, can you outnumber the Sixth Prince? I'd like to see who surrounds whom by dawn tomorrow!"

Hu Wan knelt on the ground, raised his head, glanced at him coldly, and sneered, "I thought it was a dog barking, but it's you, you traitor."

Huang Zi'an's expression changed: "What did you say? Who's the traitor? I have absolutely nothing to do with you!"

"Don't deny it, you are a traitor." Hu Wan's voice wasn't loud, but every word was piercing. "The four great families are of one mind, sharing both prosperity and ruin."

"The Huang family is a long-established family in Qingshui County. But you, as soon as they come, you kneel down like a little lamb, completely disgracing your ancestors."

"Not only are you a traitor, you're also a fucking coward." He smirked. "A fake Sixth Prince, who knows where he got some sorcery and evil magic, has scared you like a dog. You do whatever he tells you to do."

"Huang Zi'an, Huang Zi'an, you are the head of the Huang family, and this is all you've got? You're a disgrace to the four great families of Qingshui County!"

Huang Zi'an's face turned pale and then flushed as he was scolded, but then he thought about it again and sneered:

"Ha, shameful?"

"I'm just being pragmatic!" He straightened his back. "His Highness the Sixth Prince is a true immortal of this world. What do you bunch of bumpkins know?"

"Do you know who the Sixth Prince is?" Huang Zi'an asked, getting more and more excited as he spoke.

"That was a disciple personally taught by the Dao Ancestor. During the day, the Sixth Prince, accompanied by the Empress, flew away in a carriage through the sky. The entire city witnessed it!"

"The tens of thousands of tables at the banquet for all people were all conjured up out of thin air by the Sixth Prince! Have you ever seen it? Do you even understand? You're just spouting nonsense here!"

"You, Hu Wan, have spent your whole life holed up in this small patch of land in Qingshui County, thinking the world is only as big as the opening of a well."

"You think a true immortal is performing a magic trick right in front of you? How stupid can you be?"

Hu Wan frowned as he listened.

He didn't believe a single word about real or fake immortals.

He did so many bad things in his life; if there were really gods, they would have killed him long ago.

"Gods?" Hu Wan scoffed. "I've lived half my life and never seen any gods. But I've seen plenty of charlatans who pretend to be gods and ghosts and swindle people."

He calmly raised his chin: "Huang Zi'an, don't be too happy yet."

"Who do you take me for, Hu Wan?"

"To tell you the truth, I have connections in the government."

"The current Prime Minister, Hu Weiyong, is my relative!"

"If you dare lay a finger on me today, someone will come after your Huang family another day!"

"You said you're related to Hu Weiyong?" Xu Miaoyun suddenly asked.

Hu Wan glanced at her, assuming she was afraid, and immediately puffed out his chest, his face full of pride:

"That's right! Scared now?" He snorted. "Prime Minister Hu is my cousin! None of you will escape!"

However, the fear he had been anticipating did not appear on the faces of the others.

Wang Defa and Huang Zi'an, in particular, looked at him as if he were a clown.

Prime Minister?

Don't even mention the prime minister; even if you were the prime minister's father, it wouldn't make a difference!

The one who will take your life is the most favored sixth prince of the Ming Dynasty, a disciple of Laozi, the apple of Empress Ma's eye, and the Zhu Ming who travels the world as a true immortal!

You, a cousin of the Prime Minister, dare to put on airs here?

Hu Wan felt uneasy under that gaze, and the pride on his face gradually froze.

Xu Miaoyun didn't want to talk to this self-righteous person anymore.

It makes no sense at all.

So she simply waved her hand, signaling Huang Zi'an and Wang De to make a move.

After receiving the order,

Wang Defa could no longer hold back.

He carried the knife and headed straight for Zhao An.

Zhao An was so frightened by what he saw that he wet himself on the spot.

"Lord Wang! Lord Wang, spare my life!" He scrambled forward, kowtowing and begging for mercy, his voice hoarse. "Just let me go, I'll do anything you ask!"

"I'll do anything, even be a slave! Even... even if it means being a dog."

However, it would have been better if he hadn't mentioned the dog.

The moment the word "dog" was mentioned, Wang Defa's eyes instantly turned red.

Because this is the same person who seduced his wife and made him a cuckold for many years.

He even said behind people's backs: Wang Defa's wife is just a dog in front of him. She will do whatever he asks.

Which man could tolerate something like this?

Not to mention, this person also indirectly caused the death of his son.

All the old and new grudges surged up.

However, before killing him, Wang Defa still had some questions to ask him.

"Zhao An." He held the knife, looking down at him. "I'm asking you, when did you hook up with that bitch?"

Zhao An trembled with fear, raised his head, and weakly asked, "Your Majesty... if I tell you, will you spare my life?"

Wang Defa almost laughed at his stupidity.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Zhao An, gritting his teeth as he said:

"You've been cheating on me for so many years, and you even indirectly caused my son's death. Do you think I'll let you off the hook?"

Zhao An's face turned pale instantly.
