Chapter 73

Huang Rong and Zhu Ziliu led the two Wu brothers away.

Zhao Hao was not wrong; in this matter, they really could not feel at ease with themselves.

Moreover, Li Mochou was now a member of the Power Gang. Attacking Li Mochou would be a slap in Zhao Hao's face.

They did not dare to take this risk.

As for upholding justice and eliminating evil for the people, sorry.

There were not many who truly deserved the title of "great hero."

"What a grand play, truly broadening my horizons." Jinlun Dharma King suddenly clapped and laughed.

Zhao Hao glanced at Jinlun indifferently and said, "Shut up if you don't want to die."

In his words, Zhao Hao did not take Jinlun seriously at all.

"May I ask who you are?" Jinlun stopped the furious Hudou and asked.

He had once fought Li Mochou and knew her strength well.

Even though Li Mochou was not his match, she was not someone he could easily defeat.

Zhao Hao's status was clearly above Li Mochou.

Li Mochou called Zhao Hao "Your Highness," a title that gave Jinlun much to think about.

"The one who will kill you." Zhao Hao said indifferently.

"You..." Jinlun's eyes flashed with anger.

Jinlun held a very high status in Mongolia. Even Kublai Khan treated him with a pleasant demeanor and never showed him any disrespect.

Over time, this had fostered Jinlun's arrogant nature.

Zhao Hao's actions completely exceeded his tolerance.

However, Guo Jing silently stepped in front of Jinlun, making Jinlun feel a chill.

Strong individuals have a sense of each other. Although Jinlun was confident, Guo Jing had been famous for decades, and Jinlun did not dare to claim victory easily.

After a moment, Jinlun suppressed his anger and decided not to provoke Zhao Hao.

His main purpose for this trip was to gain fame and sweep through the Central Plains martial world.

It was not wise to create unnecessary complications.

The Mongols valued warriors the most, and Jinlun needed to prove himself with victories to secure his position as the Mongol imperial teacher.

This Hero Assembly was the starting point for his fame.

Jinlun could not afford to fail.

Jinlun gave Hudou a look, and Hudou understood, suppressing his anger and said, "I heard you are electing a martial alliance leader?"

"That's right. We convened this Hero Assembly to elect a martial alliance leader to discuss the Xiangyang issue. Since our paths differ, I will not detain you." Lu Guanying said.

As the true owner of Guiyun Manor, Lu Guanying finally had a chance to show his presence.

Unfortunately, Hudou clearly did not take it to heart.

"This hero, the martial alliance leader should naturally be a martial arts genius. My teacher is the best martial artist in the world. Isn't it fitting for him to be the martial alliance leader?" Hudou said.

As soon as Hudou spoke, the atmosphere in Guiyun Manor became tense.

Many people had already drawn their swords, ready to rush forward and cut this babbling fool to pieces.

For a Mongol to be the leader of the Central Plains martial world was, to them, a great humiliation.

Zhao Ling'er frowned and said to Zhao Hao, "Brother, are we just going to watch this farce?"

"Someone is willing to perform; it's not bad to watch for a while." Zhao Hao said.

After all, the Hero Assembly was convened by Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

They were the hosts, and Zhao Hao and his group were the guests.

It was not proper to overshadow the hosts.

Although Zhao Hao was already doing so, and Jinlun was following his example,

It was clearly more appropriate for Guo Jing and Huang Rong to step in.

Huang Rong's eyes twinkled. She raised her hand to calm everyone down and then said to Hudou, "Hudou, you say your teacher is the best martial artist in the world, but we have never heard of his reputation. Words alone are not enough; it would be a laughingstock."

"Seems like you, Leader Huang, are not convinced." Hudou said.

"Of course, I am not convinced." Huang Rong said.

"Leader Huang, there are many here who are not convinced. But to make you convinced is simple. How about this: you pick three people to compete with me, my senior brother, and my teacher. The side that wins two out of three battles will become the martial alliance leader." Hudou said.

Huang Rong fell silent upon hearing this.

A smile flashed across Jinlun's face.

"Agreed."

"Enough."

The first word was said by Guo Jing.

The second word was said by Zhao Hao.

Without giving Guo Jing a chance to speak, Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Idiot."

Hudou's face turned red.

Seeing Hudou's expression, Zhao Hao explained, "Sorry, I wasn't talking about you."

Hudou's face slowly returned to normal.

"I was talking about all of you, you are all idiots." Zhao Hao then said.

Hudou...

"Great Hero Guo, do you remember why you convened this Hero Assembly?"

"Do you remember why you came to Guiyun Manor?"

In the vast Guiyun Manor, only Zhao Hao's deafening voice echoed.

"What is Jinlun? What is Hudou? What are these people?"

"Seeing them, you don't attack but think about competing with them, and even give them a chance to vie for the martial alliance leader position?"

"Are you all idiots? Am I wrong to call you idiots?"

"A group of idiots, the Power Gang does not participate in these matters because the brothers of the Power Gang, when they see such scum, always act directly."

Guiyun Manor was silent, with only the heavy breathing of the Central Plains heroes, whose faces were gradually turning red.

Zhao Hao's gaze returned to Jinlun's face, and he said disdainfully, "You are all a bunch of idiots. A dozen people dare to come to our Song border, do you really think we Song have no one? Do you really think this group of idiots can represent the Central Plains martial world?"

Zhao Hao clenched his right fist and raised it over his head, shouting, "Brothers of the Power Gang."

"Here."

"Kill."

"Yes."

In the nearly stunned eyes of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and in Jinlun's disbelieving gaze, Zhongxin, Li Mochou, Yiyi, Linlin, and Yang Guo appeared like lightning among the group of Mongols.

Only Zhao Hao and Zhao Ling'er did not move.

Then, the slaughter began.

A one-sided slaughter.

Jinlun's group, including Hudou and Dabala, numbered only a dozen.

The only true experts were Jinlun and his two disciples. The rest were merely for show.

In just one exchange, Jinlun's entourage lay in a pool of blood.

Next was Hudou, who was restrained by Yiyi and Linlin.

In the next moment, Li Mochou's sword pierced Hudou's chest.

Dabala lasted two more breaths than Hudou.

But overall, the battle ended in an instant.

Even Jinlun had not recovered from the shock.

Seeing Jinlun's stunned face, Zhao Hao's smile grew colder.

This is war.

PS: I've been accompanying the Empress all weekend, so I didn't have time. Sigh, I need to rent a girlfriend to go home for the New Year. This chapter is on a timed update. I'll update once more tonight, and the next update will be at midnight. I'll ensure at least three updates tomorrow.
