The next morning.
Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
In the middle of the villa, there was a huge divine dragon statue.
The statue was snow-white and was carved from high-quality marble. It was dozens of meters long and looked terrifying.
The divine dragon was carved by a large number of skilled craftsmen and took several years to complete. Every detail on its body was vivid and lifelike, as if it could fly into the sky at any time.
Just by looking at this divine dragon statue, one could see the extraordinary status of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
After all, the dragon had always been the symbol of the royal family. Outsiders were not allowed to use it easily. If they did not have the emperor's permission, it would be an act of overstepping their authority. If it was light, their entire family would be beheaded. If it was serious, their entire family would be implicated.
This statue was built by the late emperor when Zhu Bujue founded the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa.
At this moment, under the huge dragon head, Iron-guts Deity Marquis Zhu ignored him. He was wearing a brocade robe and a gauze crown, standing with his hands behind his back.
Guihai Yidao stood in front of Zhu Budian with a long black saber in his hand.
The saber was extremely important to Guihai Yidao. He would hold the saber in his hand at all times, even when he was sleeping.
"Divine Overlord, everyone is here." Guihai Yidao said.
Hearing this, Ironguts Divine Marquis turned around and looked down.
Behind Guihai Yidao, hundreds of guards lined up neatly. These people were wearing the uniform of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa. Each of them had a long saber at their waists. They were burly and their eyes were filled with killing intent.
These 100 guards were elites selected from all the subordinates of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa. Each of them was not an ordinary person in the martial arts world. Even if they were not experts, they were still somewhat fierce.
Only the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa could gather so many people in such a short time. After all, they were an organization of the imperial court.
With a hundred people gathered, this force was enough to crush many Jianghu forces.
Zhu Budian was confident that he would be able to defeat Black Rock and capture the sect master, Sir God Five Poisons, with him leading the group.
The reason why Zhu Budian wanted to capture Chu Xiao alive was not only to cure Duan Tianya's poison, but there was also a more sinister idea.
That was to absorb all of Chu Xiao's internal energy and strengthen his body.
Zhu Budian cultivated the Flower-pinching Finger and the Power Absorption Technique.
The Power Absorption Technique was one of the reasons why Zhu Budian was able to achieve his current status in the martial world and create such a great reputation.
This martial art allowed Zhu Budian to possess a deep internal energy that far exceeded that of experts of the same realm. His internal energy was incomparably dense and endless.
"Since everyone is here, let's set off.”Zhu Bu ordered.
"Yes."
Guihai Yidao nodded.
Immediately, several guards carried a palanquin to Zhu Budian.
The palanquin was bright yellow, a noble color that only the royal family could use. There were many rare and exotic beasts tattooed on it, and in the middle was a four-clawed golden python that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Zhu Bujue entered the sedan chair and sat down.
"Rise!"
The guards were all experts and had extraordinary skills. Naturally, they were more stable than ordinary sedan bearers when lifting the sedan chair.
The palanquin was lifted up without any movement. Then, the few of them walked out of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa in unison.
As he moved, the palanquin was stable and did not shake at all.
Guihai Yidao followed behind the palanquin with hundreds of guards.
Zhu Budian wanted to attack Black Rock, but he didn't plan to sneak up on him. Instead, he walked over openly.
Zhu ignored his self-confidence. Whether Black Rock knew the information or not would not affect the outcome. In the face of an absolute difference in strength, everything was futile. After all, the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa represented the imperial court.
As for escaping?
Zhu Bujue was even less worried. The Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa was the largest intelligence agency in the current dynasty, and its intelligence network was spread all over the world. No one could escape the investigation of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa.
……
Outside the Black Bamboo Manor.
"Lord Divine Marquis, we have arrived at the Black Bamboo Manor.”The sedan chair stopped and one of the guards said respectfully.
The curtain of the palanquin was lifted, and Zhu Budian stepped out.
He raised his head and sized up the Black Bamboo Manor. He saw that the huge manor's door was tightly shut. It was extremely quiet, as if no one had left.
Zhu Budian retracted his gaze and went straight to the gate of the villa.
However, he was not here to knock on the door.
Zhu Budian immediately circulated his internal strength and slapped at the vermilion door.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded!
Along with the explosion was a large amount of iron scraps and wood chips. Although the villa's door was thick and covered with iron sheets, it was no different from a piece of paper in front of Zhu Bujue's thick inner layer. It was directly blown into pieces.
" One slash. Bring your men and charge in. Other than Sir God Five Poisons, kill all members of Blackstone without mercy.”
Zhu Buduan instructed indifferently with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, sir!"
Guihai Yidao was already used to this kind of order, and he did not have any mercy. He immediately led a group of guards and swarmed in from the broken door.
However, these people had just entered the Black Bamboo Manor. Before they could start killing, they saw a figure floating from afar and landing on a nearby pavilion.
The figure was dressed in a black robe and was emitting an invisible pressure. It was Sir God Wu Du, Chu Xiao!
Chu Xiao's gaze swept over Guihai Yidao and the others. He did not find any grandmaster level experts, so he stopped paying attention to them and turned to look at Zhu Bujue.
He and Zhu Budian looked at each other and said in a low voice,""I've heard that Divine Marquis Ironguts 'martial arts are peerless and invincible.
Today, the Divine Marquis came uninvited. I wonder if you dare to fight me?”
Zhu Budian crossed his hands behind his back and looked into Chu Xiao's eyes. He said calmly,"Why not?"
"Alright, I will await your arrival in the Purple Bamboo Forest.”After Chu Xiao finished speaking, he used his lightness skill to leave the pavilion and headed straight for the Purple Bamboo Forest.
When Chu Xiao's figure completely disappeared, Zhu Budian said to Guihai Yidao,""I'll go and meet this Sir God Five Poisons. Bring some men and take down the manor. Don't let anyone off.”
Either he did not do it, or he would eliminate the root of the problem. This was Zhu Budian's usual style of doing things.
After giving his instructions, Zhu Budian also used his lightness skill and jumped onto the pavilion. He saw a purple bamboo growing in the distance and jumped over.
Zhu Budian's Lightness Skill was outstanding. In just a few leaps, he arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest. Chu Xiao stood in front of the Purple Bamboo Forest, his fighting spirit surging out. He was already waiting there.
"Sir God Five Poisons, you injured my spy. This will be the thing you regret the most in your life.”
Zhu Budian came to Chu Xiao and said lightly.
Faced with the threat, Chu Xiao snorted coldly." You sure have a big tone. Let's see if you have the ability to make me regret it."”
After he finished speaking, Chu Xiao had already struck out with his palm.
Chu Xiao circulated the Five Poisons Divine Technique in this palm. A thick black poisonous gas was emitted from his palm, lingering and not dissipating.
"Good!"
Zhu Budian was not afraid at all. He also struck out with his palm, wanting to meet Chu Xiao head-on. Chu Xiao was young, and he did not take him seriously.
Bang!
Their palms collided, and two different internal forces collided, exploding with a thunderous sound.
Whether it was Chu Xiao or Zhu Budian, both of them had the Power Absorption Technique. Their internal strength was extremely deep, far surpassing that of ordinary grandmasters. Therefore, the momentum of this palm collision was extremely shocking.
The internal strength that spread out rippled in all directions. Circles of internal strength ripples that seemed to be corporeal appeared in the air and spread out like water waves.
The ripples looked harmless, but the surrounding purple bamboos would instantly break at the waist when they came into contact with it. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, without a single hair.
If it was someone else standing here, their outcome would not be any better than Zi Zhu's.
Hualala.
The purple bamboos around the two of them collapsed.
With just a palm strike, this beautiful scenery was completely destroyed by more than half.
A moment later, the two of them retreated at the same time.
In this clash, the two were evenly matched.
"Sir God Five Poisons, I didn't expect you to have such deep internal strength at such a young age.”
There was a hint of admiration in Zhu Budian's words.
For Chu Xiao to be able to exchange a palm strike with him without falling into a disadvantageous position, his internal energy could be said to be more profound than many grandmaster experts. After all, Chu Xiao had only broken through to the grandmaster realm not long ago at his age, while Zhu Buguang had stayed in this realm for countless years.
"Not only that, your evil poison technique is really domineering. It only took an instant for it to attach itself to you.”
As Zhu Budian spoke, his gaze fell on his palm. His palm had already turned black and green. The meridians and blood vessels in his palm had also begun to turn black, and they continued to extend to his arm.
With Duan Tianya in front of him, Zhu Bujue naturally wouldn't let his guard down. He had long made plans to deal with Chu Xiao's poison technique.
Therefore, he was constantly paying attention to the condition of his palm. Now that he realized that he was poisoned, Zhu Budian did not panic at all. His internal energy rushed from his dantian to his palm and then spat out.
The poisonous gas in his palm was immediately forced out by a large amount of internal strength.
Chi chi!
When the dense poisonous gas landed on the ground, it instantly corroded the ground into thousands of holes. One could see how powerful the poison was.
When Chu Xiao saw this scene, he felt a little regretful. He did not expect Zhu Budian to be so alert and come up with a countermeasure the moment the poison gas invaded.
Otherwise, if the poison gas entered his body, even if it couldn't seriously injure him, it could at least weaken his strength.
"The more domineering part is yet to come." Chu Xiao snorted coldly.
Zhu Budian laughed and stroked his beard."Oh? If you have any other moves, just use them. I'll take them on.”
Chu Xiao was not angered by Zhu Bujue's contemptuous words. He was usually extremely calm and would not be disturbed by the outside world.
The Five Poison Divine Technique was about catching the enemy off guard. Since Zhu Bujue was prepared, Chu Xiao was not going to continue to use it. Instead, he started to circulate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.
In terms of direct confrontation, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, which possessed the power of the Dragon Elephant, was undoubtedly the best choice.
Roar! Roar!
Chu Xiao punched out with both fists. Six black golden dragons with internal force emerged along his arms, letting out deafening roars as they pounced towards Zhu Budian.
"Good Kung Fu!" Zhu Budian's eyes lit up when he saw this. A thought flashed through his mind. He had already made up his mind. After capturing Chu Xiao alive, he would definitely force him to reveal this cultivation technique.
Facing the six black dragons that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, Zhu ignored them and attacked with all his might.
He clenched his fist and aimed it at the six black dragons. Then, his internal strength gushed out like a flood.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Zhu Budian used the Power Absorption Technique, and his powerful internal strength directly clashed with the black golden dragon. Zhu Budian's internal strength was too strong.
After a few breaths, the black dragons started to show signs of weakness. The six black dragons were shattered by the internal strength.
A large amount of internal strength exploded, uprooting the surrounding purple bamboos and trees. Even the sturdy houses were not spared and collapsed instantly.
Only Chu Xiao and Zhu Buduan stood tall amidst the mess.
"Sir God Wudu, I'll give you a chance. If you submit to my Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa now, I'll let you live. Otherwise, only death awaits you!”
Zhu ignored Chu Xiao's attack, but he had other thoughts in his heart.
Even a fresh flower, an evaluation ticket, or a monthly ticket would do…
