Cao Peng pressed his sword against the man's neck and shouted coldly,""Men, take him down."
Seeing this, the man was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled coldly." Eagle Hound of the Imperial Court, I'll wait for you in hell!”
As soon as he finished speaking, black blood flowed from the corner of the man's mouth and he fell to the ground dead.
"Damn it, I was careless. I actually hid poison in my mouth!”
Cao Peng's face sank, and there was no longer the slightest bit of joy.
This group of traitors had a firm temperament. Once their identities were exposed, they would not hesitate to commit suicide by taking poison. It could be seen how terrifying the forces behind them were.
A mere Black Tiger Hall could never nurture such a death warrior.
At this moment, a soldier rushed over from behind and said in a panic,"Commander, that female traitor committed suicide by taking poison.”
Cao Peng's expression was uncertain as he cursed angrily.
Do I even need you to say that?
This one had taken poison to commit suicide, and the previous one was no exception.
Right at this moment, something unexpected happened. Two of the maids in the last row suddenly jumped up. The two of them leaped into the air and flew out of the courtyard.
The two of them split up and fled.
When the two of them escaped, they left behind a sentence." Cao Peng of the Imperial Army, Xiao Wuji of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, I will remember you!”
"I will definitely take revenge for today's revenge in the future!"
"You want to run? Dream on!"
Cao Peng shouted angrily and hurriedly used his lightness skill to catch up with one person. Xiao Wuji also turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the other person.
With a flash of lightning, Xiao Wuji appeared behind the woman as if he had teleported. He turned his palm into a claw and grabbed the woman's shoulder.
With a cracking sound, the woman let out a scream.
With just one move, Xiao Wuji had crippled the woman's lute bone. At the same time, he had dislocated the woman's chin to prevent her from taking poison to commit suicide.
Seeing that the woman was no longer able to fight back, Xiao Wuji chuckled and said," You still want to escape in front of me? Dream on!"
"Trying to use your unsightly qinggong in front of me is no different from showing off in front of an expert.”
"You'd better stay. Forget about revenge. It's impossible in this life.”
After saying that, Xiao Wuji wanted to grab the woman and go back.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the darkness behind Xiao Wuji. A hidden weapon shot toward Xiao Wuji's head at lightning speed.
"You dare to show off your skills in front of an expert?”
Xiao Wuji didn't even turn his head. He raised his hand and caught the hidden weapon with two fingers. It was a three-inch gold dart.
With a flick of his finger, the golden dart shot back and disappeared into the darkness.
"Eh? You have some skills."
A surprised voice sounded in the darkness, followed by a deep roar.
Immediately after, a huge palm shadow tore through the air. It was the Yama Fiend Palm.
It was just that the power of this Yama Fiend Palm was more than ten times stronger than what he had seen during the day.
"It's still a small trick!"
Xiao Wuji struck out with a backhand palm, and his dense vital essence transformed into a giant golden dragon that broke through the air and collided with the palm shadow. It was the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Flying Dragon in the Sky.
The killer moves clashed, the black palm shadow collapsed.
The golden dragon continued to move forward and hit a human-shaped silhouette in the darkness.
"You... How is that possible?"
A terrified cry came from the darkness, and then that person quickly fled.
"Fancy and messy!"
Xiao Wuji watched from afar. His eyesight was excellent, and he could see a figure clutching his chest and fleeing in panic in the darkness.
When he used his lightness skill, he staggered. It was obvious that he was injured.
After exchanging a palm strike, Xiao Wuji could tell that the person in the dark was not a Xiantian master, but a genuine martial arts grandmaster.
Only a grandmaster could withstand his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms with forty percent of his strength and not die.
However, Xiao Wuji did not chase after him.
He was a Xiantian centurion, it was too strange for him to capture a grandmaster. He might as well let him escape.
In any case, this was the Imperial Army's case, so Xiao Wuji didn't want to put in too much effort.
Catching a female traitor was already the most he could do.
Grabbing the injured woman, Xiao Wuji used the Lightning Divine Steps to return to the State Guesthouse.
"Greetings, Milord. How is the situation?"
Seeing Xiao Wuji return, Xue Hua and Song Limin immediately cupped their fists and bowed.
The surrounding Imperial Army soldiers were also filled with reverence.
Xiao Wuji threw the woman on the ground and ordered,""Take her away and lock her up in the imperial prison for trial.”
"Understood!"
Two soldiers stepped forward and took the woman away.
At this moment, Cao Peng returned.
Looking at his gloomy and exasperated expression, it seemed that the mission did not go smoothly.
Xiao Wuji didn't ask him about the traitor's situation. He knew it from his empty hands.
"Damned traitor, there's actually someone helping you.”
"Centurion Xiao, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain this to His Majesty.”
Cao Peng came in front of Xiao Wuji and said with a bitter smile.
At least Xiao Wuji managed to capture one of them alive, so he could finally give the Emperor an explanation.
" This group of traitors has a mysterious background." Xiao Wuji smiled and said," Their motives are definitely not simple."”
"It is already a great merit for General Cao to be able to see through the traitors lurking in the diplomatic mission in time. There is no need to be too calculative.”
"Isn't there still one alive? As long as General Cao interrogated him, he should be able to gain something.”
Cao Peng nodded.”
"I have to thank Centurion Xiao for his help in this operation. I will never forget his contributions.”
"Today, Centurion Xiao not only repelled the rebels who robbed the Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission, but also captured the rebels who were hiding in the diplomatic mission and trying to harm His Majesty.”
"With this contribution, I can even be promoted to deputy thousand household.”
"Unfortunately, Centurion Xiao has only joined the Embroidered Uniform Guards for a short period of time, and he has just been promoted to Centurion.”
Xiao Wuji smiled indifferently." It's already His Majesty's favor to be promoted to a hundred households so quickly. How can I ask for too much?"”
"As long as I wholeheartedly serve His Majesty, His Majesty will not mistreat me.”
