Chapter 39

Marshal Haotian of the Luotong Kingdom is a senior statesman who has served three reigns, saving the kingdom from peril multiple times. His status is extremely revered, truly second only to the king and above all other generals!

Even when meeting the king of the Luotong Kingdom, he does not need to kneel, and he enjoys supreme prestige in the military.

However, when Duke Fei arrived at the marshal's residence, he was stopped by the guards at the gate: "Who are you, daring to擅自闯入 the marshal's residence?"

Duke Fei did not speak, but took out a gold plaque from his chest. Upon seeing it, the guards' faces changed dramatically, and the arrogance on their faces disappeared as they all knelt down: "We pay our respects to Your Excellency!"

The gold plaque in Duke Fei's hand was given to him by Marshal Haotian of Luotong over a decade ago.

"Rise, I need to see your marshal," Duke Fei said.

The guards respectfully responded and stood up, hesitating: "This, Your Excellency, the marshal was just summoned to the palace by the king and is not at the residence now."

"What? Not at the residence!" Duke Fei frowned.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" the guards lowered their heads.

"Go to the palace and inform your marshal that his junior brother has come to visit. I am waiting for him at the Delicious Great Restaurant!" Duke Fei said.

Junior brother! The guards were surprised, not expecting this middle-aged man, who looked like an ordinary civilian, to be the marshal's junior brother.

However, the task of going to the palace to inform the marshal made the guards hesitate.

"Take my gold plaque and go. If anything happens, I will take responsibility! But if you are late and anything happens, your lives will be in danger!" Duke Fei threw the gold plaque, and a guard captain hurriedly caught it.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" the guard captain dared not refuse.

Duke Fei turned and left.

Just as Duke Fei turned to return to the Delicious Great Restaurant, Meng Chen led all the experts from the residence to the Delicious Great Restaurant and broke in.

All the diners on the first floor of the restaurant were shocked and startled when they saw Meng Chen and his group storm in.

"Is it the Duke, I wonder what brings the Duke to our restaurant?" the restaurant owner came out, his face changing, and he smiled.

Meng Chen ignored the restaurant owner and coldly asked the guard beside him: "Are they upstairs?"

"Yes, Duke!" the guard quickly replied.

A cold light flashed in Meng Chen's eyes, and he waved his hands: "Charge up and surround the second floor. Also, guard the first floor; I want to make sure not even a fly can escape!" He then pushed the restaurant owner aside and charged up to the second floor with the many experts from the Duke's residence.

"Father, it's him, that boy!" As soon as they reached the second floor, Meng Xia, the bald one, saw Huang Xiaolong sitting by the window and pointed, shouting.

Meng Chen looked over and was taken aback, frowning: "Where is the other one?"

"Duke, this is even better. We can capture this boy first, and the other one won't be able to escape!" the head steward, Xie Fei, stepped forward and smiled.

Huang Xiaolong slowly stood up from the table, coldly looking at the many experts from the Duke's residence who surrounded him. In fact, when Meng Chen and his group arrived, Huang Xiaolong had already seen them from a distance, but he did not leave. Now, even surrounded by many seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth-stage experts from the Duke's residence, Huang Xiaolong showed no fear, as he was confident he could leave safely.

When Huang Xiaolong broke through to the fourth stage, his innate soul skill, Spatial Concealment, could only last for six breaths, but now it could last for ten breaths.

With ten breaths and his current speed, Huang Xiaolong could completely disappear from Meng Chen and the others.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the bald Meng Xia and coldly laughed: "I didn't expect you to dare come here. Aren't you afraid that this time, we will peel your scalp layer by layer?"

Meng Xia and the many experts from the Duke's residence were taken aback, not expecting the child in front of them to still dare to speak without fear about peeling his scalp.

After being taken aback, Meng Xia was furious, his face twisted, and he roared: "Cut off this boy's hands and feet!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Several seventh-stage guards rushed towards Huang Xiaolong, and just as their sharp blades were about to cut into Huang Xiaolong, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Who dares to harm my Young Master!" The sound wave rolled, and the air around them trembled, forming lightning. The seventh-stage guards were hit by the lightning, feeling their bodies go numb and their movements slow.

At this moment, Duke Fei, who had turned back from the marshal's residence, finally arrived.

As soon as he returned, Duke Fei used a sound wave combat skill he hadn't used in years, Thunder Sound Fall.

This Thunder Sound Fall had a similar power to the Heavenly Lion Roar used during Li Mu's birthday, but Thunder Sound Fall was a high-grade mystic combat skill, much more powerful than Li Mu's Heavenly Lion Roar.

Just as the seventh-stage guards were hit by the lightning and their bodies went numb, the many experts from the Duke's residence saw a river of silver light, dozens of meters long, coming from a distance, moving as fast as lightning, and instantly arriving in front of everyone.

"Duke, be careful!"

"Heavenly Snake Sword Technique!"

"Zhou Tian Fist!"

As the river of silver light created by Duke Fei arrived in front of everyone, the two tenth-stage experts from the Duke's residence, Mr. One and Mr. Two, shouted and attacked simultaneously. A huge heavenly snake appeared, opening its mouth to swallow Duke Fei, and at the same time, a square fist imprint spun and came crashing down.

However, everyone saw that when the huge heavenly snake and the square fist imprint hit the river of silver light, it was as if they hit the sea. The sword energy and fist force sank into the sea without any reaction.

The river of silver light created by Duke Fei continued to move, instantly entangling the seventh-stage guards from the Duke's residence. Cries of pain echoed, and almost in the blink of an eye, all the seventh-stage guards from the Duke's residence fell to the ground, blood splattering and staining the second floor of the restaurant red.

This time, Duke Fei did not hold back, unlike before when he only severed their hands.

Duke Fei appeared beside Huang Xiaolong, not looking at the fallen seventh-stage guards, but with eyes like knives, staring at Meng Xia, who stood beside Meng Chen.

He didn't expect that after sparing him last time, Meng Xia would dare to lead a group to seek revenge.

So this time! Duke Fei's eyes turned cold, staring at Meng Xia's scalp.

"Father, it's him, he's the one who cut off all my hair!" Meng Xia, seeing Duke Fei appear, called out in fear, hiding behind the two tenth-stage experts, Mr. One and Mr. Two.

The two tenth-stage experts from the Duke's residence, Mr. One and Mr. Two, had somewhat difficult expressions. Just now, the two of them had failed to stop Duke Fei, which meant that the other party was likely a peak late-stage tenth-stage expert!

Because one of them was a late-stage tenth-stage, and the other was a peak mid-stage tenth-stage.

Duke Meng Chen, seeing the seventh-stage guards from his residence lying on the ground, was both shocked and angry: "You, you actually dare to kill the guards of my Duke's residence?!"
