Mu Qianyun stood frozen, no longer daring to speak.
He had thought four ninth-rank martial artists would be enough to kill Qin Hanchu, but he hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to have a Grandmaster protecting him.
"You wanted to kill me, so your life is forfeit."
With that, Qin Hanchu turned to leave.
"Don't kill me, I know..."
Mu Qianyun cried out in terror, but with a gesture from Qin Hanchu, a steel arrow pierced through Mu Qianyun's brow.
What of being the son of the Deputy Prefect?
Since he harbored murderous intent towards him, he deserved to die!
"He's the son of the Deputy Prefect, and you actually killed him!" Lin Ying thought Qin Hanchu was just scaring Mu Qianyun, but she never expected Qin Hanchu to actually order the killing.
The Deputy Prefect was a powerful figure. Was Qin Hanchu not afraid at all?
"He wanted to kill me, so should I keep him for the New Year?" Qin Hanchu smiled.
Xue Lingxian hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to be so decisive and ruthless.
But could Qin Hanchu withstand the Deputy Prefect's wrath?
That night, Mu Zhengrong received the news of Mu Qianyun's death.
"Qin Hanchu, I will kill you!" Mu Zhengrong roared hysterically.
He only had his beloved son, Mu Qianyun, and he never expected him to be killed by Qin Hanchu.
Although no one had witnessed Mu Qianyun's death, Mu Zhengrong knew it had to be Qin Hanchu.
In Island City, Mu Qianyun only had Qin Hanchu as his mortal enemy.
Besides Qin Hanchu, there was no one else.
It was reasonable for Qin Hanchu, who had reached the ninth rank at such a young age, to have a Grandmaster behind him.
With Mu Zhengrong's command, the Tiger Army of Quancheng immediately mobilized in full force towards Island City.
At the same time, Wang Zhan received the intelligence.
"Should we intervene?" Xue Lang asked coldly, standing beside Wang Zhan, having learned of the matter.
Wang Zhan pondered and said, "You take the Blood Wolf Army there and prohibit the Tiger Army from using firearms. As long as they don't use firearms, you don't interfere."
Xue Lang nodded, "Understood."
After Xue Lang left, Wang Zhan called Qin Hanchu.
At nine in the evening, Qin Hanchu led his men to the Island City Stadium.
Besides the five, including Old Ghost, the Blood Wolf Army was also fully present.
The Blood Wolf Army was also fully armed, radiating killing intent.
Xue Lang stood beside Qin Hanchu. Though silent, his gaze was firm.
If Qin Hanchu were in danger, he would not stand idly by.
However, the martial artists around Qin Hanchu seemed very strong.
Especially that old man, who made him feel a sense of danger.
As long as the opponent didn't use firearms, Qin Hanchu should be safe.
Before long, special vehicles entered the stadium.
As the doors opened, the Tiger Army immediately formed a battle array.
It was at this moment that Mu Zhengrong, leading his strong subordinates, emerged.
Mu Zhengrong himself was a Grandmaster, and the few people around him were also at the Grandmaster realm.
This included two of his chief enforcers.
"Xue Lang, what is the meaning of this? Are you using the Blood Wolf Army to back him up!" Mu Zhengrong roared, glaring at Xue Lang.
Xue Lang said calmly, "To maintain our city's image, the Governor has forbidden the use of firearms within the city."
"If you don't use firearms, you won't intervene, is that right?" Mu Zhengrong retorted angrily.
Xue Lang nodded, "That's right. If you use firearms, don't blame us for being impolite."
"Good." Mu Zhengrong had brought three Grandmasters, making a total of four Grandmasters including himself.
As long as Xue Lang didn't help, Qin Hanchu was doomed.
Xue Lang waved his hand, and the Blood Wolf Army immediately retreated.
"How do you want to play?" Qin Hanchu smiled.
"Charge, kill him!" Mu Zhengrong waved his hand and roared.
Kill!
The Tiger Army let out a chilling roar, and nearly two hundred men charged towards Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu looked at the three Tianlong brothers, who had already drawn their long sabers and met the charge.
The three were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, fighting ferociously.
"Three Grandmasters!" Mu Zhengrong was shocked, having not expected Qin Hanchu to have so many Grandmasters by his side.
"While the Tiger Army is engaging them, you kill Qin Hanchu." Mu Zhengrong instructed the Grandmasters beside him.
Upon receiving the order, Mu Zhengrong's chief enforcers immediately rushed towards Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu stood calmly in place and said to Old Ghost, "Just injure them, no need to kill."
Old Ghost and the others wore masks, so their expressions were indiscernible.
In the blink of an eye, Old Ghost had intercepted the three Grandmasters.
Even with three opponents, they were still no match for Old Ghost.
Old Ghost was a peak Grandmaster, a rarity among experts.
If in the military, a peak Grandmaster would be qualified to serve as a general.
Peak Grandmaster!
Not only was Mu Zhengrong shocked, but even Xue Lang's eyes widened in astonishment.
He hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to have a peak Grandmaster personally guarding him.
"Our instructor is too amazing, even a peak Grandmaster is willing to serve him."
"Our instructor is a martial arts prodigy, and he will surely achieve the Great Grandmaster realm in the future."
"If the royal family knew of our instructor's true strength, they would definitely recruit him as a son-in-law."
"Wouldn't that make him a consort?"
"That would be incredibly impressive."
The Blood Wolf Army watched the battle in the arena, discussing it with amazement.
At this moment, Mu Zhengrong roared and charged towards Qin Hanchu.
He knew that the Drunkard beside Qin Hanchu was definitely a Grandmaster, but now he had no one else to rely on, so he had to act himself.
Seeing Mu Zhengrong charge forward, Drunkard didn't need Qin Hanchu's command; he stepped forward to meet him.
Mu Zhengrong was in the middle stage of the Grandmaster realm, and Drunkard was also in the middle stage of the Grandmaster realm.
Their fight was a match of equal strength.
However, the other battles were nearing their conclusion.
The three Tianlong brothers had already decimated the Tiger Army, leaving them almost completely wiped out.
Old Ghost had also severely injured his opponents one after another, rendering them incapable of further combat.
Ten minutes later, Mu Zhengrong was surrounded.
Let alone five Grandmasters, even Old Ghost alone could have defeated Mu Zhengrong.
"Qin Hanchu, are you still daring enough to kill me?" Mu Zhengrong gritted his teeth, never imagining Qin Hanchu would have so many Grandmaster experts around him.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "What am I not daring enough to do?"
"Hanchu, let him go." Just as Qin Hanchu was about to order the kill, Xue Lang spoke.
Mu Zhengrong was, after all, the Deputy Prefect. If Qin Hanchu were to kill him, the Sword Pavilion and the Supervisory Court would certainly not let Qin Hanchu off the hook.
Qin Hanchu considered for a moment and nodded with a smile, "Alright, I won't kill you today."
"You may not kill me today, but I will kill you in the future!" Mu Zhengrong said through gritted teeth.
"Although I won't kill you, you have to suffer a bit!"
"First, beat him severely!"
Qin Hanchu commanded.
Under Qin Hanchu's order, the five, including Old Ghost, teamed up to beat Mu Zhengrong.
By the time Qin Hanchu approached Mu Zhengrong, the latter had lost the strength to speak.
Qin Hanchu took out a pill and forced it into Mu Zhengrong's mouth.
This pill was not poison, but it would cause Mu Zhengrong to remain unconscious for more than seven days.
Qin Hanchu had to go to Quancheng for an auction this week. If this fellow were awake, he would surely deal with him.
Once in Quancheng, there would be no restrictions on Mu Zhengrong using firearms.
Therefore, Qin Hanchu wanted him to sleep first.
Once Qin Hanchu completed his breakthrough, there would be nothing for him to fear.
