Chapter 927: Zhang Cheng

Inside the Honglu Temple, the passionate sound of the suona tore through the night, making one's scalp tingle.

When Cheng Shifei, who was locked in a jar, heard this music, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and said, "Bastard, who is this? Not sleeping in the middle of the night, blowing a suona!"

However, just as Cheng Shifei finished speaking, the Empress Dowager behind him was also awakened, because it seemed someone had come to save her!

In the courtyard, Zhang Cheng slowly put down the suona and looked at Wuwu before him, saying, "How is it? My musical attainments are not bad, right!"

"Shut up, I'll kill you!"

Rushing forward in anger, Wuwu was already furious, and he struck out with the Fire Cloud Blade in his hand.

Rolling up his long sleeves, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, a bit interesting!"

When he sensed the imperceptible blade energy attacking, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and shattered it.

Looking at Zhang Cheng's movements, Wuwu immediately rushed up, his palms striking forward continuously.

Looking at Wuwu's kung fu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but clench his fists and go up to meet him.

In the rapid interweaving, the two figures kept leaping and shifting in the courtyard, leaving deep pits on the ground.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Wuwu couldn't help but ask, "How is this possible? How can your martial arts be so high?"

"What's so great about high martial arts? I also know hidden weapons!"

Speaking to Wuwu, Zhang Cheng backhanded and threw out lime powder, saying, "Scattering gold coins like a rain of flowers!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng use the unique skill of Young Master Wuhen, Wuwu was shocked and immediately wrapped his internal energy around his hands to block.

But in the next second, Wuwu screamed, "Ah, bastard, actually using such despicable means!"

"Hmph, what's so despicable about it? If you can win, it's a good hidden weapon!"

Looking at Wuwu's face covered in lime powder, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

You know the Iron Leg Skill from the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin, right? One of its moves is a sweeping leg followed by throwing sand!

After you are swept down, the opponent casually throws a handful of sand at you, then rushes up to kick you to death.

Even if you weren't swept down, you couldn't avoid the subsequent sand.

What's even more terrifying is that you were swept down again and had sand thrown at you...

So, when traveling abroad, lime powder is essential, and knockout drops are indispensable. Don't talk about being a Jianghu hero who is always open and aboveboard.

He, Zhang, is neither a hero nor open and aboveboard. After all, he doesn't even have benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, or trust; do you expect him to do anything polite or reason with you?

Zhang Cheng: My super brain tells me that three punches down, everything will be solved!

Ding Xiu: My lord has great wisdom!

Walking step by step toward the blinded Wuwu, Zhang Cheng said playfully, "Don't worry, I will play you to death properly, ensuring you won't have made this trip to the human world in vain!"

But just as Zhang Cheng was revealing a ferocious smile, he suddenly sensed something.

"Clatter!"

A cold dagger stabbed out, heading straight for Zhang Cheng's neck.

Dodging to the side, Zhang Cheng was still grazed by the dagger.

Holding his neck and retreating, Zhang Cheng immediately said with a face full of shock, "You hid so deeply..."

"Master, are you alright?"

Stepping forward to support Wuwu, "Princess Lixiu" asked in a rough voice.

"Master is fine, quickly help me wipe my eyes; I want to kill this person!"

Speaking to "Princess Lixiu," Wuwu became furious.

And just after Wuwu opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Cheng holding his neck, looking as if he were about to die at any moment.

"Evil thief, you have this day too! My disciple's invisibility technique is..."

Just as Wuwu was speaking in a disheveled manner, Zhang Cheng slowly let go of his hand and said, "Really boring. I thought you would rush up and kill me?"

"How is this possible? My dagger is made of hundred-refined divine iron!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, "Princess Lixiu" was also shocked.

Because he had clearly slashed Zhang Cheng's neck, but why was the other party completely fine?

Looking at "Princess Lixiu," Zhang Cheng unhurriedly lifted his long robe and pulled out the blood blade from his waist.

Watching Zhang Cheng walk forward step by step, Wuwu was shocked and said, "You actually practice hard-body cultivation!"

"Guessed it? But it's too late, because you don't have much time left!"

Waving his blade and rushing forward, Zhang Cheng headed straight for Wuwu and "Princess Lixiu."

"Fire Cloud Blade!"

Roaring as he rushed forward, Wuwu raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng slashed down with his blade, and a severed arm flew into the air, blood splashing all over the ground.

"My hand!"

Retreating in terror, Wuwu wailed.

Holding the blood blade, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease, "Your dagger is hundred-refined; then guess how much this blade is..."

"Master!"

Looking at Wuwu, "Princess Lixiu" couldn't help but panic and immediately prepared to use the invisibility technique again.

However, just as he disappeared, Zhang Cheng's eyes stood upright, and he backhanded the blood blade out.

"Pfft!"

The blood blade accurately pierced through "Princess Lixiu's" chest, and Zhang Cheng said coldly and disdainfully, "Five Elements Escape Technique, actually practiced to this extent, it's truly a mess!"

Looking down in disbelief, "Princess Lixiu" looked at the blood blade in his chest, immediately stumbled, knelt on the ground, and said, "You, how did you see through it?"

"Because I can do it too!"

Turning and disappearing on the spot, Zhang Cheng pushed his speed to the limit, and then, with the help of a visual blind spot, suddenly appeared in front of Lixiu and pulled out the blood blade from his chest.

Watching his disciple fall before his eyes, Wuwu roared, "You Eastern Depot people do this; aren't you afraid of war between the two countries?"

"War? A tiny piece of land also wants to threaten the Great Ming? Letting you be dogs is already the vast imperial grace of our Great Ming!"

While carrying the blade and walking forward, Zhang Cheng said, "Besides, this official only needs to say that there were thieves who sneaked in at night, and Princess Lixiu and the envoy from Izumo were accidentally killed, and the Eastern Depot has already beheaded the thieves; wouldn't that be enough?"

Watching Zhang Cheng approach him, Wuwu roared, "Nonsense! Do you think this can deceive the people of the world?"

"If no one saw it, how could anyone know the truth? Even if it was seen, wouldn't it be better to kill them all!"

Arriving in front of Wuwu, Zhang Cheng raised the blood blade and backhanded it, saying, "Truly stupid."

The flying head smashed onto the ground, and Zhang Cheng looked at the fallen Wuwu and sneered, "The Fire Blade of Shaolin Temple actually became the Fire Cloud Blade, and it's still a lost unique skill; it's truly laughable!"

However, just as Zhang Cheng pushed open the door, he saw Cheng Shifei looking at him awkwardly and saying, "I didn't see anything; do you believe me?"

"Hehe!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng gripped the blood blade, as if he were about to act in the next second.

But just at this moment, a steady voice came, saying, "Are you a man of Cao Zhengchun?"

"This official is Zhang Cheng, Thousand-Household of the Eastern Depot, courtesy name Xinzhi. I have met the Empress Dowager!"

Looking at the person who walked out with a dignified and noble appearance, Zhang Cheng cupped his hands and saluted.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the Empress Dowager said with gratification, "Not bad, a good young man. But you wouldn't want to kill me too, would you!"

"This official wouldn't dare; it was just a joke just now! The real purpose was to save the Empress Dowager!"

Speaking to the Empress Dowager, Zhang Cheng looked at Cheng Shifei, who was hiding behind and making faces, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Because this kid would sooner or later be beaten by him until he knelt on the ground and fled in panic.

"Send a message to the Eastern Depot people to escort me back to the palace!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but become serious.

"Yes, Empress Dowager!"

Pulling out the signal flare from his waist, Zhang Cheng immediately sent the order.

Not long after, when Jia Yan and the others rushed in holding armor, the Empress Dowager asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"To avoid trouble from the Honglu Temple, we..."

Looking at the Empress Dowager awkwardly, Zhang Cheng also turned his head with a guilty conscience.

Understanding what Zhang Cheng meant, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but say seriously, "This time, I will count it as you having taken great pains, but next time, it is not allowed!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager!"

Looking at the Empress Dowager, the people of the Eastern Depot all twitched their mouths.

Because what they had done seemed to be neither open and aboveboard nor did it follow martial ethics!
