Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

In the end Yue Fei subdued this giant serpent, but who could have imagined that the serpent would transform on the spot into an eight-foot golden spear, with four big characters inscribed on it: ”Liquan Divine Spear.”

Afterwards this spear followed General Yue through campaigns north and south, blocking east and killing west, slaughtering the Jin people and making a name throughout the world, coming to be called the Number One Spear Under Heaven.

Later, at Fengbo Pavilion, General Yue fell, and the spear ended up in the hands of the treacherous Prime Minister Qin Hui; after Yue Fei was posthumously rehabilitated, the spear passed into the hands of the Yue family’s fifth son, Yue Lin, and from then on this spear was always passed down among the Yue Family descendants.

After that the Mulan people defeated the Jin people and finally entered the Central Plains, and the Yue Family collectively withdrew from the world to live in seclusion, refusing to serve as officials under the Mulan people.

You could say this spear is the very embodiment of loyalty and righteousness; who would have thought that today this spear would fall into the hands of the dog traitor Lu Feng, who betrayed his master and ancestors and surrendered to the court.

That was why Kang Maocai was so furious; of course, Zhang Dingbian was actually livid as well, only his scheming ran deeper and he didn’t show it on his face, but once hands were thrown, he didn’t hold back in the slightest, going straight into a three-hundred-round battle with Lu Feng.

Pouring all his pent-up rage into every strike.

Their fierce duel naturally drew out Tuotuo, who’d been hiding; Tuotuo lit a lamp atop a tall building and watched the crowd below besieging Zhang Dingbian and Kang Maocai.

Clang, clang, clang...

Just as he was watching the two of them wield the Yue Family Spear techniques in a deadlock, locked in a heated fight, he suddenly heard a heaven-shaking explosion from the back of his own courtyard.

Boom!

Right after that he saw a chunk of stone shooting straight toward his head.

Tuotuo panicked for a moment; his own strength was only at the Transformation Realm, and faced with such a terrifying stone, he was utterly helpless.

But as the bearer of a nation’s National Fortune, how could he be so easily killed? The instant this stone entered a range where it could threaten him, the National Fortune judged that this stone had already exceeded the power of Energy Transformation and directly activated the National Fortune’s protection.

In a flash, Daqian’s National Fortune manifested, the Grey Wolf in Canglang Bai Lu taking shape, and with a single bite it shattered that deadly incoming stone.

Seeing this, Lu Feng, who was locked in combat, said to Zhang Dingbian, ”See that? The Prime Minister has National Fortune protecting his body. So long as Daqian exists for one more day, let alone you, a mere Melting Realm, even someone in the Melt God Realm can’t kill the Prime Minister.”

”In fact, never mind the Melt God Realm— even an Earthly Immortal wouldn’t be able to kill the Prime Minister. How could the strength of one man overturn a nation? So, Second Junior Brother, give up on your revenge. You won’t be able to take it!”

Hearing Lu Feng’s words, Zhang Dingbian’s face turned very ugly. Lu Feng continued, ”You and I are nothing but passersby in this world. Why abandon your own life’s path for the sake of someone else’s will?”

”They all say the Mulan people oppress us Han people, and that’s true enough, the Mulan people do oppress the Han. But they’ve never oppressed you. On the contrary, toward Han who truly have real ability, the Mulan people show a great deal of respect.”

”We don’t lack rank or riches; as long as we speak up, all that is within easy reach.”

”What more are you dissatisfied with?”

Lu Feng’s words were blunt: yes, the Mulan people oppress the Han people at large, but they haven’t oppressed you; while they oppress the Han, toward us Han experts they go to great lengths to win us over. For that reason alone, you shouldn’t be causing them trouble.

After listening, Zhang Dingbian let out a cold laugh. ”Lu Feng, stop making excuses for your own despicable choices. Come, fight!”

Lu Feng replied, ”Second Junior Brother, why are you so stubborn!”

As he spoke, Lu Feng’s expression suddenly darkened; in the next instant the spear in his hand swung up, scraping along the ground with a ”cang-lang” sound, and flames abruptly roared to life along the shaft of the spear.

Seeing this, Zhang Dingbian also slashed his spear fiercely along the ground, and immediately flames shot up along his spear as well, murderous intent surging to the sky once more.

Clang, clang, clang...

The two clashed again for a dozen more exchanges. At this point Lu Feng said, ”Junior Brother, we were taught by the same master; we can’t break each other’s moves!”

Zhang Dingbian said, ”Then use something our master didn’t teach.”

With that, Zhang Dingbian suddenly changed his moves. Seeing this, Lu Feng also said, ”Good!”

And the two went at it again.

Meanwhile, other people in the Prime Minister’s Mansion were also gathering around, and Kang Maocai immediately fell into a siege by the others.

At this moment someone hurried up the stairs to stand before Prime Minister Tuotuo, dropping to one knee and saying, ”Prime Minister!”

Tuotuo looked at him and asked, ”What happened in the back courtyard?”

”To report to the Prime Minister, it seems a Melt God Realm expert has invaded the back courtyard and is fighting with Du Zundao.”

”Melt God Realm!”

Tuotuo froze for a moment when he heard this, then spoke: ”Where would a Melt God Realm show up at a time like this? Is it Liu Futong’s people?”

”Most likely not. If it were Liu Futong, Du Zundao probably wouldn’t have been able to hold out until now.”

Upon hearing Tuotuo’s words, the man at his side immediately spoke up.

Tuotuo frowned slightly and said, ”Truly a season of troubles.”

After he said this, his subordinate looked at Tuotuo and asked, ”Should we send someone to take a look?”

Tuotuo replied, ”Mm, go invite Master Dharma Ba.”

Dharma Ba was the Living Buddha Basiba’s senior disciple, the one about to take over Ruyang King’s Jiangnan Army command, one of the Qincha Eight— and also a Melt God Second Transition expert who’d been hiding his strength very deeply!

And with the Capital in chaos lately, Tuotuo had memorialized the Living Buddha, asking him to provide protection. The Living Buddha thought for a moment, then directly sent his senior disciple Dharma Ba over.

To sit and hold down the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

And a Second Turn Melt God Realm Martial Artist’s strength was truly terrifying; if you ranked him on the Heavenly List, he’d be around eighth or ninth place, stronger than Ruyang King.

At this time the Prince Mansion Guards immediately went to the Zen Room to ask the Living Buddha Basiba’s senior disciple Dharma Ba to take action.
