Chapter 120: Displaying Great Might
Although he thought this in his heart, Zhu Gaoxi still spoke up: "I fear you heroes have found the wrong target. I am the Nanyang Commandery Prince, and my father is the Yan Prince, Zhu Di. If it is wealth you seek, name your price."
Unfortunately, this group of martial artists did not give him any face because of Zhu Gaoxi's status. After hearing Zhu Gaoxi's words, the group did not speak; they exchanged glances, then suddenly attacked Zhu Gaoxi all at once.
Seeing this situation, Ada said to Zhu Gaoxi: "Your Highness, please leave quickly! The four of us brothers will escort you out even if we have to risk our lives!"
Having said this, Ada and the others also charged out.
Seeing this, how could Zhu Gaoxi let Ada and the others stay behind alone?
Wouldn't such a good opportunity be wasted?
Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxi secretly circulated his Qi and also charged toward the opponents.
Zhu Gaoxi struck after them but arrived first.
After overtaking Ada and the others, he unleashed a finger strike at one of the men coming toward him.
In just a single encounter, a large hole instantly appeared in that man's forehead.
Driven by momentum, the man took two more steps forward before stumbling and falling to the ground.
This scene left everyone stunned for a moment.
Zhu Gaoxi was also taken aback; just now, for the sake of caution, he had used ten percent of his power, never expecting that a light tap would finish the man off.
Yet, those martial artists were filled with wild joy at this moment.
They could more or less discern the strength of the dead man.
At the very least, it was impossible for everyone present to kill him as easily as Zhu Gaoxi had.
But since the arrow was already on the bowstring, no one thought about the dead man anymore; they all charged forward.
Yet, as if unconsciously, everyone very tacitly wanted to stay away from Zhu Gaoxi.
This made Zhu Gaoxi very unhappy.
It was hard to come by a sparring partner, so he had to test it out properly.
Thinking this, seeing no one looking for him, Zhu Gaoxi turned his head and charged toward an old man dressed as a Daoist priest.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxi charging at him, the old Daoist frowned. Without dodging, he flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand and lashed it toward Zhu Gaoxi.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxi did not hesitate; he pinched his fingers and struck out again.
Before the old Daoist's whisk could even be swung, his entire body collapsed.
This scene completely shocked everyone present.
At this moment, one person suddenly said: "Stop hiding! This little brat is a bit eerie; kill him first!"
As he spoke, he was the first to charge toward Zhu Gaoxi.
The others also exchanged glances, nodded, and followed the man in front to charge toward Zhu Gaoxu.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu did not panic; he held his hands in the Nianhua Finger gesture and waited quietly for the crowd to approach.
The departure of the crowd greatly reduced the pressure on Ada and the others.
Although the contact had not lasted long—less than a minute—the four brothers were already all injured.
They would likely have been finished here if it had lasted any longer.
Unlike this group of martial artists, they came from a military background; their moves were broad and sweeping, far less agile and varied than those of the martial artists.
They were at a great disadvantage in one-on-one situations, not to mention that they were the side with fewer numbers.
Although those martial artists had all gone to find Zhu Gaoxu, they had not forgotten the four of them.
Four people were still left behind to trade blows with Ada and the others. Although Ada and the others had seen Zhu Gaoxu show his power and wipe out two people in the blink of an eye, the fact that so many people had charged at him made them worry.
Yet, no matter how anxious they were, they could not cause much trouble for their opponents and even gradually fell into a disadvantage.
On Zhu Gaoxu's side, watching the crowd getting closer and closer, Zhu Gaoxu could not help but curl his lips into a smile.
Just as he was about to strike with his finger, one of the big men saw Zhu Gaoxu's gesture and his expression changed drastically.
"Shaolin's ultimate technique, the Nianhua Finger!"
Having said this, the man did not hesitate at all and turned to run.
The others were clearly not as quick to react as he was.
They were stunned upon hearing his words, and by this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already charged up.
Two fingers wiped out two men, and then, like a sheep entering a tiger's den, Zhu Gaoxu slaughtered wildly among the crowd, appearing like a demon.
Seeing this, the others finally reacted and scattered in all directions to flee.
Zhu Gaoxu did not pursue them relentlessly; instead, he turned around to rescue Ada and the others first.
While those four were still hacking fiercely at Ada and the others, they suddenly saw Zhu Gaoxu charge in.
Turning their heads to look, besides the corpses on the ground, where were any of their teammates left?
Although they did not know what had happened, anyone with a brain knew that this place was not a place to linger.
But how could the few who wanted to escape do so easily?
The four brothers of Ada, who had been suppressed and beaten, now used all their strength to entangle their opponents.
Zhu Gaoxu soon arrived at their side, pointing his fingers frequently, and four more corpses were added to the ground.
Seeing that they were finally safe, the four brothers of Ada gasped for air and knelt directly in front of Zhu Gaoxu.
"Your subordinates are incompetent and have put Your Highness in danger. Please, Your Highness, grant us death!"
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, helped Ada up, and then said to the four of them: "Do not mention this matter again. The opponents had an extraordinary background; it is not your fault. I am not injured, and the most important thing now is to return to the Military Camp!"
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu took a deep look in the direction where the big man who had just identified the Nianhua Finger had fled, then immediately led Ada and the others toward the Military Camp.
