The air in the council chamber seemed to freeze instantly!
“Bang!”
A deafening roar like thunder exploded in the hall, making people's eardrums buzz!
The dragon throne, crafted from special refined iron, was reduced to countless fragments under Wan Wan's curved blade!
A flash of purple light emanated from Wan Wan's hand, shattering the dragon throne!
Kou Zhong's figure vanished from the spot in that instant.
The silence in the council chamber was unsettling!
Wan Wan vigilantly surveyed the surroundings, her beautiful eyes filled with cautious light!
In this spacious hall, besides the broken dragon throne, there was nothing else!
It was as if Kou Zhong had never existed.
However, just as Wan Wan was about to relax her vigilance...
Kou Zhong's voice suddenly echoed from behind her like a ghost:
“Why are you in such a hurry, Miss Wan Wan?”
There was a hint of playful mockery in his voice, which startled Wan Wan!
She hadn't expected Kou Zhong to be able to dodge her surprise attack.
Wan Wan's expression suddenly turned seductive, her peach blossom eyes brimming with laughter.
She asked with a light smile:
“My lord, don't you feel a bit stiff? Would you like me to give you a massage?”
A strange fragrance permeated the air, the scent of her special incense. A single whiff would!
Make someone lose their strength!
Naturally, Kou Zhong could smell the aroma in the air!
However, Kou Zhong had already used his Divine Sense to perceive Wan Wan's unusual behavior!
With the enhancement of the Heavenly Eye Technique, he saw through Wan Wan's disguise as Yun Yu Zhen at a glance!
He smiled slightly, unmoved.
Upon seeing this, the crimson silk ribbons on Wan Wan's body erupted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!
That was her signature martial art - the Heavenly Devil Ribbons!
They could target both near and far, possessing immense killing power, and were completely fearless of group attacks!
She said in a sweet voice:
“My lord, be careful!”
As soon as her voice fell, countless ribbons shot towards Kou Zhong like venomous snakes.
Kou Zhong remained calm, his figure flitting through the ribbons like a willow catkin!
He dodged every attack!
Just then, Wan Wan suddenly propped her hands on the ground in front of her, emitting a melodious sound!
That was her Heavenly Devil's Sound, capable of bewitching the opponent's mind and creating illusions.
However, Kou Zhong's Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, rendering the Heavenly Devil's Sound completely ineffective against him!
Instead, it caused him to shake his head and nod, praising:
“Miss Wan Wan's tune is truly beautiful!”
Seeing this, Wan Wan gritted her teeth, her purple True Qi surging!
She raised the curved blade in her hand, its cold light flashing as she charged at Kou Zhong!
Her Heavenly Devil Art was boundless, unpredictable!
Anything, from empty hands to weapons and even clothes and ribbons, could be used as weapons against the enemy!
It could be both soft and hard, changing and transforming at will!
Every casual movement was a graceful and unpredictable killing move!
It was impossible to guard against, capable of injuring anyone in any situation!
When Wan Wan danced, she truly integrated beauty and evil into one.
Kou Zhong, still with his hands behind his back, watched Wan Wan's Heavenly Devil Dance with appreciation!
Noticing Kou Zhong's playful intentions, Wan Wan delivered a strange strike with her blade towards him!
Kou Zhong simply tilted his head slightly, dodging the attack, then extended a hand, striking.
He knocked the curved blade from Wan Wan's hand, even having time to gently stroke her dark hair!
He brought it to his nose and sniffed lightly:
“Miss Wan Wan, you smell so good!”
Seeing Kou Zhong's flirtatious behavior, Wan Wan's face changed slightly!
Wan Wan danced gracefully, her movements elegant yet perilous, each swing of her sleeve a potential attack!
The ribbons swirled in the air, like purple smoke, confusing anyone about the direction of the attack!
Kou Zhong's figure was like a shadow, each of his movements concise and effective!
He dodged effortlessly, like flowing water, without retaliating!
Suddenly, Wan Wan raised both her hands swiftly!
Dozens of Heavenly Devil Ribbons shot towards Kou Zhong like vipers, accompanied by the sound of breaking air!
Kou Zhong's figure swayed, seemingly merging with the air, his form weaving through the ribbons!
He narrowly avoided each and every attack.
The furniture in the council chamber was shattered in the midst of this fight!
Each attack was accompanied by flying wood chips.
Kou Zhong stopped in his tracks, his figure suddenly motionless!
At that moment, Wan Wan's attacks rained down like a storm!
Countless ribbons, like flying arrows, intertwined into a deadly net!
Kou Zhong's eyes flashed with a glint of brilliance, his body instantly disappearing from the spot.
The next moment, he was already behind Wan Wan!
“Slap!”
His palm pressed gently, a soft force propelling Wan Wan forward!
Her body arced through the air, crashing heavily into the pillar of the council chamber.
Wan Wan's face flushed red, she quickly stabilized herself and turned towards Kou Zhong, attacking!
The curved blade in her hand turned into a purple ray, aiming straight for Kou Zhong's throat!
Kou Zhong smiled slightly, shifting his body slightly, the blade grazed his cheek!
Kou Zhong's fingers flicked, a burst of energy striking the back of the blade, deflecting it away!
At the same time, his other hand grabbed Wan Wan's waist and gently pushed her away!
Wan Wan's body, as if propelled by a spring, flew towards the opposite wall!
However, Wan Wan managed to turn in mid-air, her legs slightly spread!
She kicked towards Kou Zhong's chest. Kou Zhong did not dodge!
He raised his arm, taking the kick head-on!
He extended a hand, grabbing her bare ankle.
Wan Wan blushed, exclaiming:
“Let go!”
Kou Zhong, however, seemed unfazed, admiring Wan Wan's jade feet:
“This is what Miss Wan Wan has volunteered.”
She took a deep breath, her entire body's purple True Qi boiling!
Wan Wan's Heavenly Devil Qi erupted violently, breaking free from Kou Zhong's grasp.
She spread her arms, countless ribbons swirling once more!
This time, her attack was even more ferocious!
Kou Zhong remained impassive, his figure flickering, a golden light appearing in his hand!
That golden light darted through the ribbons!
Under the flashing golden sword light, Wan Wan's countless ribbons shattered into thousands of pieces!
Like falling petals, they drifted in the air...
Seeing Kou Zhong's bizarre and powerful abilities, Wan Wan realized her current predicament was dire.
She gritted her teeth silently, knowing she wouldn't be able to win today.
Her eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, she said coldly:
“Master Kou, this defeat today, I will return a hundredfold in the future!”
Then she switched to a mocking smile, continuing:
“Master Kou, you might not know this yet?”
“How I could easily impersonate your subordinate, your little beauty might be in trouble right now!”
Kou Zhong's brow furrowed as he listened, could something have happened to Yun Yu Zhen...
Based on this witch's personality, it was very possible!
Wan Wan simply smiled, taking two purple pellets from her bosom and tossing them downwards!
“Bang!”
A plume of purple smoke rose, completely engulfing her figure!
Only a sound of silver bells laughter could be heard...
“Master Kou, we'll see each other again next time!”
When the purple smoke dissipated, only an empty space remained.
As Kou Zhong's Divine Sense locked onto the direction of Wan Wan's departure, he was about to go and inquire.
He discovered in his Divine Sense that Yun Yu Zhen was running towards the council chamber!
“Young Marshal! Young Marshal! That wasn't me...”
Yun Yu Zhen, in a haphazardly donned outfit, rushed into the council chamber in a flurry of anxiety.
She was initially stunned by the state of the council chamber, then looked towards Kou Zhong.
As if finding an anchor, the panicked expression in her eyes vanished instantly!
Kou Zhong scrutinized Yun Yu Zhen, discovering that besides being somewhat disheveled, she was unharmed.
He walked towards her and asked:
“How did you get caught by Wan Wan, where's Jun Zhang? Wasn't she supposed to report?”
Yun Yu Zhen's expression froze, as if she remembered something, and her face showed a hint of urgency:
“Young Marshal, Sister Fu, she, she's disappeared!”
Kou Zhong's brows furrowed, his gaze piercing, he looked at Yun Yu Zhen and asked in a deep voice:
“Speak clearly, how could Jun Zhang disappear?”
A wave of chill suddenly emanated from his body, the temperature around him plummeting!
Yun Yu Zhen trembled uncontrollably under the chill emanating from Kou Zhong.
“I...”
Just as she was about to say something, Kou Zhong abruptly turned towards the door.
A member of the Imperial Guard leaped down from the eaves, kneeling on one knee and announcing loudly:
“Reporting to the Young Marshal, the Imperial Guard Commander left a letter!”
“Please take a look, Young Marshal!”
He took a letter from his bosom and stepped forward, presenting it to Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong took it with a frown, unfolded the letter, and began reading.
After a moment, his expression became solemn and serious!
The letter was indeed in Fu Jun Zhang's handwriting, but its contents made Kou Zhong feel deeply uneasy!
“Young Marshal, the Double Dragon Gang has gained power, I can now make my move. Moreover, your goal is to rule the world, that incompetent emperor will inevitably become an obstacle.”
“......Now I am healed and my skills have advanced, I have the experience of one assassination attempt.”
“I'm sure I can slay that incompetent emperor on the spot, removing a major enemy for the Young Marshal......”
Fu Jun Zhang had decided to assassinate Yang Guang again, to eliminate an enemy for Kou Zhong ahead of time.
Kou Zhong glanced at Yun Yu Zhen, who was still standing there dumbfounded.
He instructed her:
“Yu Zhen, you stay in the Double Dragon Gang and take charge of affairs.”
Then he turned to the Imperial Guard member standing by, instructing:
“Go and mobilize all the Imperial Guard's hidden spies, investigate the news of Jun Zhang entering the palace!”
Yun Yu Zhen and the Imperial Guard member immediately straightened, acknowledging the order.
Kou Zhong stepped out of the courtyard, gazing at the crescent moon in the sky, pondering silently.
Jun Zhang, please don't be in trouble......
