Chapter 203: Where Did This Swordsman Pop Out From

Late at night!

Liu Fu!

Brightly lit!

When the Liu Fu servants shouted that there was an assassin, a group of Brocade Uniform Guards seemed to descend from the sky, directly rushing into the Liu Fu. The government soldiers outside were confused for a moment, but then they all quieted down and continued to guard outside the Liu Fu. Regarding what happened in the inner courtyard of the Liu Fu, although they were curious, no one dared to stretch their necks to inquire.

The Brocade Uniform Guard handles cases, idlers stay away.

Everyone knew the rules.

From top to bottom, over a hundred people in the Liu Fu didn't have time to dress neatly, and in the shortest time, they gathered together, shivering and terrified in the summer heat, looking at the fierce Brocade Uniform Guards.

Where did the assassin come from?

Why would the Brocade Uniform Guard be here?

Except for money, the Liu Fu really had nothing of value; why would an assassin target the Liu Fu? Why did the Brocade Uniform Guard come so timely?

There's a ghost!

Although the Liu family guessed a little bit of the truth, no one dared to question the Brocade Uniform Guard. Everyone was afraid of death!

The Liu family was now a fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

"The Liu Fu is harboring a wanted criminal of the imperial court—what is the crime?" The Brocade Uniform Guard roared sternly, full of oppression, carrying a thick murderous aura, making people shudder.

"Wanted criminal?" Liu Daowen's wife, in an instant, her body softened, and she was luckily supported by a maid in time. "Our Liu family absolutely cannot harbor a wanted criminal of the imperial court; I ask the official to investigate clearly."

"Investigate what—the person was found in your mansion, Liu Madam, do you still want to deny it?"

"Injustice! This really has nothing to do with the Liu family; it must be that the wanted criminal of the imperial court was at the end of his rope and accidentally broke into the mansion! This official, we are a family of old, weak, women, and children, not even a martial artist with a rank—how could we have the ability to discover a wanted criminal of the imperial court hiding in the mansion in time? I ask the official to give us a chance."

As soon as Liu Madam's voice fell, the Liu Fu butler hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to use money to open the way. Although he didn't understand the specific purpose of the Brocade Uniform Guard, the Brocade Uniform Guard coming to the door was certainly not a good thing. At best, it was raiding the house and exile; at worst, it was beheading and exterminating the three generations. No matter which consequence, the Liu family couldn't bear it.

The Liu Fu had nothing else, only a lot of money. Liu Daowen had followed Jiang Tu for these years, and he estimated that he hadn't embezzled millions, but over a million was certain.

As for how much Jiang Tu embezzled, it must be an astronomical figure, and he didn't dare to think deeply. It might be richer than the old Emperor's inner treasury. If the old Emperor knew this truth, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep and would exterminate Jiang Tu's nine generations.

Alas, this was just a guess; even if he said how much money Jiang Tu embezzled in front of the old Emperor, the old Emperor wouldn't believe it. Because someone had done it before, and more than once. Every time, they were sternly scolded by the old Emperor, who cursed the court officials for slandering Jiang Tu.

Jiang Tu certainly embezzled, but saying Jiang Tu embezzled millions of taels, the old Emperor wouldn't believe it no matter what.

He had been the Emperor for forty-something years and was confident that his judgment of people wouldn't be wrong. Jiang Tu was just a villain; even if he dared to embezzle, he wouldn't dare to embezzle on a large scale. The court officials were just slandering.

The old Emperor's arrogance was evident.

Without raiding Jiang Tu's house, the old Emperor wouldn't believe that the person he valued was so bold. However, in this world, in this imperial court, who dared to raid Jiang Tu's house?

This became a dead cycle.

The court officials could only curse the old Emperor in their hearts for being muddled and incompetent, with a tyrant in power and the people living in misery.

At this moment, in the Liu Fu, Chen Guanlou was lying on the roof watching the excitement.

Tsk tsk, the domineering nature of the Brocade Uniform Guard was truly an eye-opener.

The leader, Xiao Chengcheng, hadn't spoken, sitting on a chair, watching everything on the field coldly, watching how his subordinates threatened the Liu Fu, how the Liu Fu shouted injustice...

He suddenly turned his head and glanced toward the roof on the left.

Chen Guanlou was shocked and hurriedly restrained his aura. His dog nose was really sharp!

Xiao Chengcheng frowned. He felt a faint aura prying from the side. In the time it took to turn his head, this aura disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Illusion?

Hehe!

With his current cultivation, the possibility of an illusion didn't exist.

The only possibility was...

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped up and rushed straight toward the roof on the left.

Chen Guanlou was shocked; he had been discovered after all.

The strength of a Fifth Rank martial artist was terrifying.

He didn't dare to hesitate and turned to flee.

"Where are you running?" Seeing the prying person reveal himself, Xiao Chengcheng's face was ferocious; his intuition was indeed correct—someone was indeed hiding. What kind of cultivation technique did the other party practice to be able to hide their aura and strength so perfectly? He didn't even think about the hidden pulse direction.

Chen Guanlou didn't pay attention to Xiao Chengcheng behind him at all and flew directly toward the outside of the Liu Fu. Behind him, besides Xiao Chengcheng, other Brocade Uniform Guards also chased after him.

"Stand still for this official!" Xiao Chengcheng's sword left its sheath, directly killing toward the figure in front, sword energy sweeping in all directions, murderous intent soaring.

Chen Guanlou turned back and used his knife to block. If he didn't give the other party some power to see, the other party wouldn't know what was good for them.

The knife left the sheath, without flashy moves, only wanton slaughter!

The knife and sword crossed, and both sides deeply looked at each other, simultaneously having the same thought: the other party is so strong!

"Courting death!" Xiao Chengcheng was furious. "Daring to be sneaky under the eyes of the Brocade Uniform Guard—do you really think the Brocade Uniform Guard is a pushover? You'd better surrender, and this official will guarantee you a whole corpse."

"Hehe!" Chen Guanlou let out a cold laugh.

Listening to his voice, Xiao Chengcheng judged that the other party was about forty years old. At this age, his strength was no less than the Fifth Rank; what kind of figure was this? He knew all the martial artists above the Fifth Rank in the capital like the back of his hand, but there wasn't a single person who could match the thief wrapped tightly in front of him.

"What is your background? Could it be a dragon crossing the river? Daring to commit a crime in the capital territory—courting death!"

"Just by you wanting to kill me—boy, you're arrogant!" As soon as the voice fell, Chen Guanlou slashed down with his knife, murderous intent soaring. "Ascension Record" third chapter, Heaven and Man as One—every grass, every tree, flying flowers and falling leaves, were all his knives.

Knife intent!

He used a knife, but even more, he used his intention. Wind is a knife, people are knives, the night sky is a knife, and heaven and earth are all knives.

Xiao Chengcheng felt countless big knives hacking at him from all directions, feeling terrified, and hurriedly dodged in a panic.

Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to disappear into the night sky, leaving extremely fiercely.

When Xiao Chengcheng came back to his senses, he found that the target was gone.

At this moment, other Brocade Uniform Guards also chased after him.

"My lord?"

"Are you okay, my lord?"

"Where is the thief?"

"The small one will order to block the whole city and conduct a big search."

"No need!" Xiao Chengcheng raised his hand to stop his subordinates. At this moment, he felt lingering fear and annoyance, full of anger, but it wasn't aimed at the thief, but at his own performance just now—he actually felt fear!

Luckily, no one saw it, so he wouldn't lose face.

Such strong knife intent!

The thief's cultivation was on par with his, but his knife technique was far above his.

What was the background of this swordsman who suddenly popped out? Why did he appear in the Liu Fu? He was very sure that there was no such character in the capital; was he really a dragon crossing the river?

"Go, return to the Liu Fu! Interrogate them properly for me!" ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
