Chapter 562

Cao Cao Zhengchun coughed lightly, and the sound stopped abruptly.

"The Emperor passed the Mingyu Skill, Heart-Shattering Palm, and some other high-level martial arts I don't know to him, so his Two Wuxia is much higher than mine."

A leading eunuch widened his eyes and exclaimed, his voice trembling: "Mingyu Skill, Heart-Shattering Palm, those are the supreme martial arts of the Yihua Palace?"

Cao Cao Zhengchun nodded and smiled slightly: "Now the Western Depot is developing rapidly, urgently needing merit, and Yu Yu Huatian's Two Wuxia is extremely high... fine, let them deal with the remnants of the Yang party."

"You guys, don't be disappointed, don't think this is any good errand. Yu Yu Huatian wants to deal with those people to claim credit to the Emperor, and will definitely take away most of the Western Depot's people, and many ministers in the court are restless; then, you say, who is the force the Emperor relies on the most?"

"Naturally, it's our Eastern Depot!"

"Exactly!"

"It seems we are not as good as the Western Depot, but in fact, this is a good opportunity for us to share worries for the Emperor! There will be a long time to come..." Cao Cao Zhengchun looked at the sky, his eyes flashing with essence.

Cao Cao Zhengchun’s words provided an answer to the doubts previously held by the audience.

Why was the formidable Eunuch Cao and the powerful Eastern Depot so afraid of Zhao Zhao Huaian in *The World’s Number One*? Why were they bullied by the Western Depot?

Because at this time, Cao Cao Zhengchun’s Wu Gong was not yet high—at least, there was a massive gap between him and Yu Yu Huatian.

Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan had passed down the supreme, fast-track Wu Gong of the Moving Flower Palace to Yu Yu Huatian, but not to Cao Cao Zhengchun.

Some audience members shook their heads at this thought.

That wasn't entirely accurate.

It should be said that Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan actually had passed down peerless Wu Gong to Cao Cao Zhengchun, but his martial arts were likely a slow-burn; otherwise, the future Cao Cao Zhengchun would not have been so powerful.

Also, why did the future Cao Cao Zhengchun never mention Yu Yu Huatian?

Because the boat of friendship between him and Yu Yu Huatian had capsized.

"Actually, Eunuch Cao is quite impressive. He endures when weak, and isn't particularly arrogant or despotic when strong. Others call him a 'eunuch dog,' but he is very polite to people!"

"He's a ruthless character."

"Actually, come to think of it, acting like Yu Yu Huatian does is more likely to invite the Emperor's suspicion."

"I'm more curious about what happened to Yu Yu Huatian later. Why is there absolutely no trace of him in the future? What exactly is Dragon Gate?"

"..."

Yu Yu Huatian’s stunning entrance successfully captured the interest of countless viewers.

At the very least, in this movie *Flying Swords of Dragon Gate*, everyone’s interest in him was far higher than in Cao Cao Zhengchun.

On the big screen, the plot continued.

The camera shifted.

A young boy and a young girl, wearing shackles, walked across the desolate Loess Plateau. The boy was about six or seven, while the girl was older, looking to be around eleven or twelve.

Disheveled and listless, they looked truly pitiful.

Who were they?

Why were they suffering such torment at such a young age?

Soon, a Western Depot squad leader revealed the reason.

It turned out that when Yang Yuan Yuxuan’s entire family was executed, not everyone had been killed; these two children were actually Yang Yuan Yuxuan’s son and daughter.

Yu Yu Huatian had done this to exile them and use them as bait, hoping to draw out Yang Yuan Yuxuan’s confidant, Zhao Zhao Huaian, and wipe out the Yang family’s influence once and for all.

This part had already entered the girls' "magic-modified" plot of *Flying Swords of Dragon Gate*.

Sure enough, it was very effective.

On the other side.

The Jianghu swordswoman Ling Ling Yanqiu admired Zhao Zhao Huaian and, commissioned by him, teamed up with four righteous warriors to rescue Yang Yuan Yuxuan’s children.

But Yu Yu Huatian had already set a dragnet to capture them all in one fell swoop.

Little did he know that Ling Ling Yanqiu would take a dangerous gamble, finding a loophole in Yu Yu Huatian’s troop deployment and doing the opposite by avoiding the main road.

They chose to strike by a riverbed, successfully killing the escorting officials and rescuing Yang Yuan Yuxuan’s children.

However.

Yu Yu Huatian was no pushover; the Western Depot agents reacted quickly, catching up and rapidly surrounding the group!

Ling Ling Yanqiu said coldly, "Fight our way out!"

An unavoidable battle ensued.

Blades clashed, and the sound of metal striking metal rang out incessantly.

Intermingled with screams and the neighing of horses.

The audience was so tense they held their breath.

"I'm so conflicted! I want Yu Yu Huatian to kill these warriors, but I also want them to successfully protect the two children and escape!"

“Me too, I feel like I’m about to have a mental breakdown!”

“Chen Yao’s portrayal of Ling Ling Yanqiu is so beautiful, she absolutely cannot come to any harm!”

"..."

Perhaps this was the movie where the audience felt the most conflicted.

—They liked the villains, yet pitied the heroes.

On the villain side, who didn't like Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan and Yu Yu Huatian? They were a visual powerhouse team; even Eunuch Cao looked refined and handsome after watching him for a while! Plus, the Western Depot’s uniforms were super cool!

Looking at the heroes... what kind of rags were they wearing?

But Zhao Huai’an’s chivalry in avenging his master is moving, the miserable state of the little boy and girl is pitiable, and Ling Ling Yanqiu and Chen Yao are as beautiful as a painting... The righteous side is also great!

For a moment, the audience didn't know whether to root for the villains or the heroes.

And amidst this conflict, the plot continued.

In an instant, it became extremely cruel.

In the blink of an eye, two warriors were dead; fighting while protecting the children was simply too difficult.

Even the highly skilled Ling Ling Yanqiu was drawn into a difficult battle.

And this was merely a small fraction of the Western Depot’s power.

The true big boss of the Western Depot, Yu Yu Huatian, sat on a chair on a nearby hill, holding a monocular telescope to watch the battle, while the other high-ranking squad leaders did not move.

Terrifying!

Just then, Ling Ling Yanqiu used her light-body technique, flew up the cliff, and charged at Yu Yu Huatian with her mother-son swords.

No sooner said than done.

Her sword was already before Yu Yu Huatian’s eyes, yet he did not stand up. With eyes like a hawk, he looked at Ling Ling Yanqiu, and in a flash of lightning, he extended his index and middle fingers, catching the fiercely thrusting longsword with just two fingers.

"Ah!"

Countless gasps rang out in the theater; the audience was shocked!

Catching a blade with bare hands!

No!

It should be called catching a blade with two fingers!

What kind of crazy Wu Gong was this?

Before they could recover from their shock for even a second, an even more shocking scene arrived.

High-energy scene ahead!

"Hmph!"

Yu Yu Huatian let out an effeminate and disdainful cold snort. With force from his two fingers, the hundred-refined treasure sword, forged from steel, was snapped in two by him!

Yes, snapped!

Snapped with just two fingers!

Terrifying!

"Dope, dope, dope!"

"Holy crap!"

"Oh my god!"

"Yu Yu Huatian is so cool!"

"What kind of Wu Gong is this?"

"That's excessively cool!"

"I remember now, Eunuch Cao in *The World’s Number One* could do this move too!"

"Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan really does favor Yu Yu Huatian exclusively!"
