Lian Dashuang was hiding behind Old Mu, peeking out at the three individuals.
"The Naval Minister's Residence is a restricted area; I advise you to behave yourselves," Old Mu said calmly, standing still like an ancient pine tree, exuding an air of age and authority.
"Who are you? You don't seem like someone from the Naval Minister's Residence," the leader of the group said, stopping ten steps away but sensing Old Mu's extraordinary composure.
"Who I am is not important; what matters is that you have entered the Naval Minister's Residence without permission, which is inappropriate," Old Mu's tone suggested he was trying to dissuade them. At that moment, he seemed like the head steward of the entire Naval Minister's Residence, ready to intervene in anything he deemed necessary.
"Huh? Are you out of your mind?" The leader noticed Old Mu's tone, realizing that despite his young age, he was acting like an old man in his eighties or nineties, making communication difficult.
Talking to someone like this would likely yield no useful information anytime soon!
"Kill him!"
With a wave of his hand, the leader whispered an order. In their eyes, while Lian Dashuang might be cunning, he was not a threat; Old Mu was the real obstacle. A Qi Gong Master of Unity of Man was worth their attention.
"Are you assassins?" Old Mu asked calmly.
The three men exchanged glances, their expressions fierce as they charged at him, surrounding Old Mu.
Seeing this, Old Mu swept his leg to fend off the three attackers and then stepped into the Seven Stars stance, using a peculiar serpentine movement to evade them, shifting left and right unpredictably.
The leading attacker unleashed a powerful punch, extending his arms. As he swung his fists, they created afterimages that made him appear as if he had three heads and six arms, surrounded by Fist Shadows.
"Fist Shadow?" In a moment of panic, Old Mu's eyes widened in surprise. The man had actually produced Fist Shadows, which clearly indicated an extremely advanced level within the realm of Qigong and Fist Technique.
This level was unrelated to being a Qi Master; it was purely about mastery of Fist Technique. His fists moved so quickly that they generated false Fist Shadows in the air, resembling long tails that followed wherever his iron fists struck.
Fist Technique was one of the most ferocious and domineering attack styles within Qigong Martial Arts. Compared to Dharmakaya techniques involving legs or palms, no matter how advanced those techniques were, they would always be weaker in terms of power—this was a principle.
The leading assassin spread his arms, executing the Fist Technique, which embodied the Fist Shadow, proving that his understanding of the Fist Technique was extraordinary.
Old Mu rolled over, using the force of the impact to flip upside down, and with both palms slammed down onto the ground, he soared into the night sky. His palms struck out sparks of electricity, illuminating the air with flashes.
This move was part of the Crazy Serpent Seven Star Classic, specifically the "Cup Bow Phantom" and "Dragon and Serpent Rising."
Old Mu quickly swung his fists, creating sparks of electricity within a seven-step radius, forming an electric sphere that erupted with power, knocking back two armored thugs nearby and then fiercely pressing toward the Leading Assassin.
At that moment, the opponent had also gathered his strength, swinging his iron fist and casting a long Fist Shadow in the night sky as he charged toward Old Mu.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Old Mu utilized the Crazy Serpent Seven Star Classic to create a large electric sphere that hovered in the night sky. His Flesh danced within the electric sphere, performing various kicks, swings, stomps, hammers, and smashing movements.
Inside this large electric sphere, Old Mu was as agile as a fish in water.
His Crazy Serpent Seven Star Classic had reached Lu Chen's previous level, allowing him to transform the Cup Bow Phantom into a seven-step radius electric sphere. Anyone entering it would be overwhelmed by the lightning and True Qi within.
The Leading Assassin was formidable as well. Despite being pressed down by Old Mu's large electric sphere, he showed no signs of defeat; instead, he became even more ferocious.
His Flesh stood firm like a mountain, unyielding. His arms moved rapidly at an incredible speed, so fast that the naked eye could not capture their trajectory; all one could see were fleeting Fist Shadows shooting out in all directions, dazzling like blooming flowers.
The battle stalemated for a moment when the leading assassin surprisingly took a step further. He suppressed his voice and let out low growls from his throat.
Suddenly, this person’s Flesh trembled as he stepped forward with great momentum. His figure resembled an emperor entering a palace gate, exuding an overwhelming aura of arrogance.
At the same time, a fierce surge of True Qi erupted from his Flesh, and he raised his right hand above his head and smashed down hard, sending Old Mu flying with a single punch.
At this moment, the two guys in Leather Armor had already retreated to the side; they couldn't intervene in such a battlefield. Lian Dashuang also stood aside, not joining the fight, as he was still quite distant in terms of Qigong cultivation compared to Old Mu.
Lian Dashuang swallowed hard, a glint flashing in his eyes as he blinked twice. He realized that the situation was not looking good; Old Mu seemed unable to defeat The Leading Assassin. In such circumstances, he could only call for reinforcements.
Just as he hesitated, the two guys in Leather Armor turned their heads and spotted him.
One of them shouted loudly, pointing at Lian Dashuang and whispering fiercely, "Catch this wild kid; he's very cunning. Don't let him escape!"
With that, the two drew their short knives hanging at their waists and rushed forward with a whoosh.
Lian Dashuang's expression changed sharply upon seeing the two charging at him; he immediately turned and ran. He thought to himself that this was bad; he needed to quickly call for help, or Old Mu would be beaten to death.
As he ran, Lian Dashuang shouted for help, which soon attracted the attention of guards patrolling the Naval Minister's Residence. Hearing the commotion, those guards raised their torches and rushed over while loudly calling out to spread the news far and wide.
In an instant, the entire Naval Minister's Residence was set into motion, showcasing a powerful and meticulous arrangement like a massive machine where every part was interconnected. When one part moved, it immediately activated the entire mechanism.
"Don't chase them! Come back immediately!"
The Leading Assassin shouted loudly, summoning his two subordinates in Leather Armor back. Old Mu had already been defeated by him; with just one more strike, he could crush Old Mu again. However, he chose not to do so now because his own life was more important.
"Boss, what should we do?" one of the guys in Leather Armor asked nervously.
The Leading Assassin looked around at the vast sea of people. Everywhere there were soldiers with torches and spears surrounding them like an iron barrel; it seemed almost impossible for even a fly to escape.
Taking a deep breath, The Leading Assassin's eyes sparkled with intensity as he raised his hand and said, "Don't panic; these people are all useless. They won't be able to stop me. As long as Sosonan Tu and Wolf Ba don't personally intervene, I can retreat safely."
The two subordinates wearing Leather Armor immediately felt more confident, as if they had taken a calming pill.
This person actually regarded the guards at the Naval Minister's Residence as worthless, completely dismissing them, appearing relaxed and at ease. At that moment, he resembled someone strolling through a flower garden, showing no signs of panic.
"We're leaving!"
The Leading Assassin waved his hand, signaling his two subordinates to prepare to depart.
"Leaving? Where are you going? Since you're here, you all should stay!"
A youthful voice suddenly echoed, causing the Leading Assassin and his two subordinates to come to a halt.
Turning around, they saw a young man in a blue robe standing twenty paces away on the wall. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. The torchlight illuminated his features, revealing a handsome face that exuded an air of calmness despite his youth.
The newcomer was Lu Chen!
His few words instilled a sense of intimidation in the assassins, prompting them to stop.
"Another expert? Hmm? Not Sonantu, nor Wolf Ba; very young, and I can't discern his Qigong level!" This was the immediate impression of the leading assassin.
"Who are you?" Lu Chen asked from atop the wall.
Lu Chen knew these individuals were assassins but was still unclear about their true intentions. They might have been instructed by Kalan Prince to come for Adolf's head.
"And who are you?" The Leading Assassin stepped forward a couple of paces to get a better look at Lu Chen.
"What brings you to the Naval Minister's Residence?" Lu Chen inquired.
"I don't do anything? Would you believe that?" The Leading Assassin replied, countering Lu Chen's question.
"Stubborn?" Lu Chen smirked slightly, revealing a hint of a wicked smile.
At that moment, he noticed Adolf and his group hurriedly approaching from the reception room, parting the crowd to stand at the edge of the battle circle.
The burly man in black beside Adolf, Sonantu, was about to make a move but was stopped by Adolf.
Lu Chen understood his actions; Adolf wanted to observe his skills a bit longer. Perhaps this time, it could determine the outcome of the entire negotiation.
Since that was the case, Lu Chen decided not to hold back. It would be best to end the fight with the fastest and most powerful techniques. If he could capture these three and interrogate them about their purpose for entering the Naval Minister's Residence, exposing Kalan Prince's conspiracy against the Naval Minister, it would clarify the situation even further.
Additionally, Lu Chen was quite interested in their intentions because it seemed that Yushan Kingdom had also become a murky mess that needed to be navigated.
With that thought in mind, Lu Chen took out a black stone from his pocket and quietly infused it with some True Qi.
In an instant, pieces of wood flew out from Jun Bell and, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, assembled into armor that fitted over Lu Chen. His tall figure gleamed with the special hardwood's luster and transparent glass-like eyes; it was indeed Nether War Armor.
The black stone Lu Chen had just taken out was Source Power Walnut, which stored formations that could directly control those wooden pieces and assemble them into Nether War Armor.
