The Martial God who started at Mantuo Manor

Page 177

At a single command, the officials who had initially shared the same hatred as the Wudang disciples immediately turned their guns on them.

They charged into the crowd like wolves, wielding fire-and-water clubs and scabbards, ruthlessly shoving and driving away innocent civilians and indignant martial arts figures.

"Make way, make way!"

"Get out of here, all you government officials!"

"What are you looking at? If you don't leave, you'll all be arrested for obstructing official business!"

A Wudang disciple, unable to stand by and watch, stepped forward to argue, "They were the ones who killed people in the street first..."

Before he could finish speaking, the officer impatiently slammed his scabbard into his chest and cursed viciously, "Shut the fuck up!"

I told you to get out, so get out!

Otherwise, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail too!

The entire dock was thrown into complete chaos in an instant.

The murderer became the "superior," the law enforcers became accomplices, and the chivalrous hero who stood up for justice became the "idle people" who were driven away.

Zhang Cuishan did not move.

He stood rooted to the spot. The officials shoved and bumped into him, but it was as if they had hit an invisible iron wall, and they were forced to retreat.

Not a single one of the more than twenty Wudang disciples behind him retreated even half a step!

One after another, the unsheathed longswords formed a steel barrier that gleamed with a cold light and was inviolable!

What are you trying to do?

Are we...are we going to rebel?

The constable roared fiercely, but his hand involuntarily reached for the hilt of his sword at his waist, clearly showing that he was extremely guilty.

"rebel?"

"I'd like to ask you that!"

Zhang Cuishan suddenly took a step forward, stared directly at the constable, and roared in a booming voice, enunciating each word clearly: "I eat the emperor's food and am in charge of the safety of the people in this region!"

Now, open your dog eyes and give me a good look!

"Look at all this flowing blood!"

Look at these old and young people who died unjustly!

The culprits are right in front of you, yet you turn a blind eye and instead aid and abet them!

Tell me, is the sky over Jinling still the sky of the Great Song Dynasty?!

Is this law truly meant to protect the people of our Great Song Dynasty, or these few ruthless wolves who kill without blinking an eye?

"well said!"

The young Wudang disciple, his blood boiling, retorted angrily, "How can we, a righteous sect, collude with corrupt officials like you who distort the truth and harm the people!"

"Today, we must either apprehend these murderers and bring them justice!"

"Either step over the corpses of our fellow disciples, or..."

"right!

Give us justice!

The Wudang disciples were filled with righteous indignation. Their swords pointed at each other, and their awe-inspiring righteousness and overwhelming anger intertwined, forcing the officials to not dare to take another step forward!

The constable, blushing with shame after Zhang Cuishan's words, finally succumbed to rage. He drew his sword, pointed it at Zhang Cuishan, and screamed, "Rebellion! Rebellion!"

How dare they openly storm the government office and defy the law!

Someone is coming!

"Take down all these rebels who dare to resist arrest!"

The three men in black stood with their arms crossed the entire time, coldly observing the farce.

The leader looked at Zhang Cuishan, who was like a mad tiger, and the sneer on his lips deepened, as if he were watching a farcical scene of a monkey desperately fighting for a few rotten bananas.

On the third floor, Dai Qisi still stood by the window in a private room.

She took in the entire clash between justice and power downstairs, her beautiful, otherworldly eyes remaining completely calm.

She gave a cold laugh, a laugh filled with endless mockery of the "righteous" farce unfolding downstairs.

"right way?"

She chewed on those two words with contempt in a voice only she could hear.

In her view, this was nothing more than a group of foolish actors bound by empty fame, staging a poorly self-indulgent drama on a larger, unseen stage.

So-called chivalry is nothing more than a fig leaf used by the strong to whitewash violence and by the weak to beg for pity.

Just as the mocking look in her eyes was about to fade, she caught a very discordant scene out of the corner of her eye.

At the far end of that chaotic dock, on the murky waters of the Qinhuai River, a figure was slowly walking ashore.

He didn't get off the boat, nor did he swim up from the water. Instead, he simply walked step by step along the rushing Qinhuai River, as if walking on flat ground, leisurely strolling up the stone steps of the dock.

The river water reached his ankles, but didn't even wet his trouser legs.

Dai Qisi's eyes, which always carried three parts laziness and seven parts calculation, suddenly narrowed!

That figure looks so familiar.

"Qisi?"

Just then, a mature, melodious female voice, tinged with a hint of coquettishness, suddenly came from behind her, interrupting her thoughts.

Dai Qisi snapped out of her daze and turned around. The door to the private room had been opened at some point, and two women dressed in black were standing in the doorway.

With just one glance, the already tense atmosphere in the private room, caused by the carnage downstairs, was instantly replaced by a more viscous and vibrant, decadent atmosphere.

They came in.

They look like they were made from the same mold.

Or rather, they are more like a pair of sisters with very different styles, yet equally captivating.

The one in the lead must be the one who just spoke.

She was also wearing a black gauze dress, but the fabric of the dress was as thin as a cicada's wing.

The tight-fitting cut exposed her mature, voluptuous curves to the air without any concealment.

Her breasts, covered in black gauze, rose and fell slightly with her breathing, creating a powerful sense of pressure.

Her round, perky buttocks stretched the gauze dress into a breathtaking arc. With each step she took, her two plump buttocks would sway slightly, as if they were about to burst through the thin layer of restraint at any moment.

Her face was also covered by a black veil, but the eyes that looked through the veil were alluring, with a condescending quality that seemed to know all of a man's desires.

The one following behind her, however, possessed a completely different charm.

Her figure was more slender and toned than the woman in front of her, with a youthful innocence.

The same black gauze dress, when worn by her, made her waist appear even more slender and her legs straight and long.

Her breasts, though not as magnificent as some, were firm and upright like two peaches.

The two women stood side by side at the door, one mature and voluptuous, the other delicate and tender like a green plum. They both exuded a self-righteous and voluptuous aura that made any man who saw them feel parched and a lustful fire rising in his lower abdomen.

"You shameless hussy, you didn't even explain things clearly in the letter, making us search all over the place."

Dai Qisi's gaze swept over the two vibrant women at the doorway, and the astonishment on her face at seeing the bizarre scene was quickly replaced by a languid and affectionate smile, as if she were seeing an old friend.

She and the woman in front of her were clearly best friends who knew each other intimately, so they skipped the formalities of greeting and started making risqué jokes.

She swayed her voluptuous waist, which could drive any man crazy, and gracefully walked to the table, sitting down without any hesitation.

She casually removed the veil from her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful yet somewhat menacing mature face.

Her eyes darted around, glancing at the escalating confrontation outside the window. Her red lips curled into a disdainful sneer.

"If I had told you beforehand, would I still be here watching this good show?"

Her voice was laced with laughter, so alluring it could melt your heart: "What, is that green-skinned Taoist priest downstairs your new lover?"

"To dare challenge the government officials, at least they have some backbone."

The girl behind her followed suit and sat down on the other side, her movements carrying a deliberate air of mature elegance.

However, she did not remove the black veil from her face.

The veil covered most of her face, but it only made her clear, untainted eyes appear even brighter.

At this moment, those clear eyes were curiously observing Dai Qisi, while constantly glancing out the window, clearly more interested in the conflict downstairs.

However, her eyes, clear and bright, were now curiously scrutinizing Dai Qisi, while constantly glancing out the window, clearly more interested in the conflict downstairs.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Dai Qisi rolled her eyes, her alluring appearance enough to make any man's heart flutter.

"Just an ignorant fool. I only wanted to use him. If something really happens, what does his life or death have to do with me?"

As she spoke, she picked up the teapot and poured a full cup of chilled tea for both herself and the woman in black veil, her tone unconsciously taking on a serious tone:

"I wasn't looking at him."

I think I just saw someone I know.

"acquaintance?"

The woman in black veil picked up her teacup, gently skimming off the foam with the lid, appearing uninterested. "In this city of Jinling, aren't there plenty of acquaintances from all walks of life?"

"Different."

Dai Qisi frowned slightly, trying hard to recall that fleeting glimpse from just now.

"he……"

She paused, seemingly searching for the right words, "He shouldn't be here... and he came from the water!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, a genuine look of surprise finally flashed in the alluring eyes of the woman in black veil.

She looked up and exchanged a glance with Daisy.
