The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 369 Trivialities

“With your little bastards, you can’t even get close to me. Otherwise, how could I communicate with ghosts?” Zhang Xingchen continued.

"You're about to die and you're still being stubborn. I hate people like you who pretend to be gods and ghosts the most in my life. I'm not going to believe you anymore. You're not going to be a match for an old man like you." Sun Yunhe waved his hand slightly.

The men around Sun Yunhe, as if injected with chicken blood, rushed towards Zhang Xingchen's position. However, these guards with knives were dealing with Zhang Xingchen, not just random actors Chen Er found on the street.

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhang Xingchen was extremely skilled in martial arts.

Facing a man, Zhang Xingchen swept his leg and knocked him down. He didn't even look at the other man; with a knee strike, he sent the big guy flying.

Only one man remained, swallowing hard, unsure whether to advance or retreat. After hesitating for a while, he still didn't know what to do.

"Get him! If he can't even beat a little old man, how will he ever get anything done in front of me again?" Sun Yunhe gasped.

Sun Yunhe hadn't expected that this so-called yin-yang master was actually quite skilled in martial arts, and every punch he threw was powerful and impressive.

He didn't look like an old man at all; he looked more like a middle-aged man. In particular, the old man's movements were quite strange. The guard with the knife heard that his master was angry.

The man dared not delay any longer. He drew his sword with a swift motion, swallowed hard, gripped the long sword with both hands, and slashed down at the old man. As for why Chen Er had not intervened, it was because Chen Er knew how powerful Zhang Xingchen was.

If Zhang Xingchen can't even handle these trivial matters, then Chen Er has no reason to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Moreover, Chen Er also wanted to see just how skilled Zhang Xingchen was in martial arts, especially when Zhang Xingchen faced this burly man's sudden sneak attack.

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhang Xingchen's lips. Zhang Xingchen's body transformed into a gust of wind, and he quickly pounced past the man.

The man felt a sudden numbness throughout his body as Zhang Xingcheng snatched the knife from his hand. Terrified, the man's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.

With Zhang Xingchen's knife pressed against the man's neck, how could the man not feel his legs go weak?

"I've already said it, I'm a man of great ability. My ancestors once guided the Emperor on how to govern the country. How can you not believe me? You're simply courting death," Zhang Xingcheng and Zhang Xingchen continued domineeringly.

In fact, Zhang Xingchen was speaking from the heart, because his ancestors were also members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and in the past, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the most powerful force in the imperial court.

There was no Eastern Depot at that time, and even Wei Zhongxian was still an infant being breastfed, so what Zhang Xingchen said was all true.

Indeed, one of his ancestors was a favorite of the emperor, who once advised the emperor on the affairs of the country. However, after Zhang Xingchen came along, the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard declined more and more, and it was even ignored by the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's desire to restrain the Eastern Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard would probably have ceased to exist long ago.

Sun Yunhe was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected this so-called master to be so powerful. He had defeated all of his men in just a few moves. Sun Yunhe knew that his men were quite capable, yet they had been defeated in just a few rounds.

Sun Yunhe was genuinely surprised: "Sir, you are indeed skilled. However, I would like to see your abilities." Suddenly, Sun Yunhe stepped forward and assumed a fighting stance.

"How dare you! What do you think this place is for? You're causing trouble here. Get the hell out of here, or you'll regret it!" Chen Erke snapped.

"Tianming, step back. Don't delay Lord Chen Er's business. Today, this old man wants to see what that ghost actually looks like," Zhao Beixing suddenly said.

Wang Dawei's face was contorted and he felt sweat beading on his forehead. Although he didn't believe that people turned into ghosts after they died, when he saw Zhang Xingchen grinning at him, he felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

Wang Dawei wanted to speak, but he didn't have the strength: "Sir, I'm troubling you. Please perform the ritual now and bring back Zhang Xiulan's soul. I want Zhang Xiulan to identify Wang Dawei. Then I'll see what this guy has to say." Chen Er immediately said this, and Zhang Xingchen smiled and nodded.

Zhang Xingchen secretly thought to himself, "This Chen Er is no simple man. He's truly young and promising. He even came up with this idea."

"Wait a minute, Gouzi, tell me your cousin's birth date and time, and I can retrieve her soul," Zhang Xingchen said earnestly.

Gouzi dared not be negligent and immediately told Zhang Xingchen his cousin's birth date and time. Everyone was looking forward to seeing if Zhang Xingchen could really bring back Zhang Xiulan's soul.

Wang Dawei looked as if he had just taken a hot shower; his clothes were clinging to his skin.

Wang Dawei was truly terrified. What if Zhang Xingchen really was the legendary Yin-Yang Master and managed to retrieve Zhang Xiulan's soul?

When that happens, he'll have to reveal everything about how he took Zhang Xiulan hostage and caused her to hang herself. Plus, Gouzi is Wang Dawei's henchman.

Now, as a witness, he was forced to remain silent. Wang Dawei knew he was finished. Gouzi's cousin, and even Wang Xuelian's husband, were killed because of Wang Dawei. Moreover, Wang Dawei had been lying all along.

Just as everyone fell silent, a layer of smoke suddenly began to rise from the ground.

Even the lights in the courtroom seemed to have dimmed considerably: "What on earth is going on? Could it be that the Onmyoji really worked, and the dead can really become ghosts?"

"I don't know, but it seems pretty strange to me. This is why Wang Dawei can't escape. He not only took advantage of the girl, but also turned her into a ghost. It would be strange if he let Wang Dawei go."

However, no one saw that Ma Dazhi had already led a few people to hide not far away and kept sprinkling lime powder over there.
