"Who dares to be so presumptuous here?"

The palace was surrounded, the main door was opened from the inside, and a group of people dressed in the uniform of lantern bearers rushed out, drew their long swords, and pointed them at everyone.

But when they saw the situation outside clearly, they were all shocked and their momentum dropped by half.

Because there is also a lantern bearer outside!

"Master Xia, what does this mean?"

The leader put away his sword and looked at Xia Chen with a serious expression.

"Captain Wu, you are the lantern bearers. When did you become the servants and guards of the Wang family?"

Xia Chen looked calmly at the middle-aged man in front of him named Captain Wu.

Captain Wu was speechless. He slowly glanced at the people behind Xia Chen, feeling extremely heavy in his heart. Something was wrong. The people who came here were not friendly!

"Get out of the way, we are all colleagues, I don't want to kill you!"

Xia Chen glanced at him and said in a deep voice.

"Director Xia, this is the home of our Director Wang. What's your intention in surrounding it with others?"

Captain Wu's eyes revealed murderous intent, and he drew his long sword again.

"Master Xia is so majestic!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance walked out.

It was Xia Chen's target this time, Wang Zongze! And behind him was a captain.

"Sir Wang, this is the arrest warrant from the commander-in-chief. Please come back with us to see the yanei!"

Xia Chen calmly took out a document from his arms, with a seal clearly stamped on it.

Wang Zongze's heart sank, and the faces of the people holding lanterns behind him also changed.

"Brothers, Xia Chen forged documents and abused his power for personal gain. Take him down first!"

Wang Zongze had a righteous look on his face, and sweat was coming out of his right hand. Suddenly, a spear emitting a cold glow flew into his hand from the yard, and his whole body's energy surged.

As he finished speaking, a group of servants rushed out from behind him, each of them exuding a tyrannical aura.

They are all Martial Artists!

"kill!"

Before Xia Chen could open his mouth to speak, Wang Zongze took the initiative, like a fierce general charging into battle, holding a seven-foot-long spear, which shot out like a dragon, and he wanted to take down Xia Chen first.

Wang Zongze's eyes were fierce, he knew that his identity might be exposed. If he was really caught here, he would never have a chance to turn things around.

Therefore, he had to capture the leader first, take down Xia Chen, and maybe kidnap him to escape the encirclement and fight for a chance of survival.

Behind him, the captain, more than a dozen lantern bearers, and a group of servants did not hesitate at all. They instantly became more powerful, drew their long swords, and charged towards everyone.

But Captain Wu, who had taken the lead in interfering, had a gloomy look on his face as he realized something was wrong. Who would be so bold as to forge an arrest warrant, unless Xia Chen didn't want to live anymore.

"What should we do, sir? Take action?"

Someone behind him immediately asked anxiously.

"Don't act rashly, something is wrong!"

Captain Wu shook his head quickly and shrank back...

At this moment, on the front of the battlefield, Xia Chen looked at this scene with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Wang Zongze's aura was so terrifying that even at a short distance away, everyone felt their heartbeats quicken.

Xia Chen's eyes remained extremely calm, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Whoever draws the sword, do not hold back, kill without mercy!"

After he finished speaking, he drew out his long sword, and immediately, the people behind him no longer restrained their aura.

"kill!"

On Xia Chen's side, the military crossbow was like a pear blossom needle, shooting out with a terrifying aura.

The body of the servant who rushed in front suddenly exploded, blood spilled all over the ground, the scene was extremely bloody.

At the same time, Wang Zongze rushed over. He was as fast as lightning and ignored the servants who were being tortured and killed. At this time, he only had Xia Chen in his eyes.

The distance between the two people was less than five meters, which was just a matter of a breath for a Fourth Grade warrior.

Wang Zongze smiled. Xia Chen was too young after all. He was a fourth-grade warrior. If he led his elite troops to form a military formation on flat ground, he would have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. But in the capital, in the alleys, , I can kill him in an instant...

Just when he was feeling proud, his face suddenly froze.

A long sword suddenly appeared and blocked the tip of his gun accurately.

Sparks flew in the air.

Wang Zongze's indomitable momentum was blocked.

The sound of gunfire was heard.

The huge force made him inevitably take two steps back, and the bluestone on the ground exploded.

Wang Zongze looked solemnly at the middle-aged man in front of him who was holding a long knife and standing in front of Xia Chen with an expressionless face.

He looked to be in his 30s, and his energy and blood were extremely vigorous, making people feel hot all over when they got close to him.

"Shen Chengnan!"

Wang Zongze had a blank expression on his face, but his heart sank to the bottom.

"Lord Wang, you don't really think I'm a child, do you? If you want to capture a Fourth Grade warrior like you, why don't you bring experts with you?"

Xia Chen, who had been extremely calm, smiled.

This is the master he asked Commander Ma Song for. In addition to the four directors who broke through to the Fourth Grade, the Lantern Man has 15 other masters who have reached the Fourth Grade. These 15 masters are directly under the command of the Lantern Man. make.

Therefore, there are 19 Fourth Grade masters among the Lantern Bearers, which is why the Lantern Bearers can suppress the court and the martial arts world.

Although Xia Chen is not a Fourth Grade, he can find a way to drive Fourth Grade masters. This is the importance of power!

In this world, personal strength is important, but it is not the only thing. The only thing is power!

"Wang Zongze, put down your spear and follow Lord Xia back to the government office!"

Shen Chengnan spoke in a concise tone, not taking Wang Zongze seriously. Fourth Grade is different from Fourth Grade, and his strength ranks third among all the Lantern Bearers Fourth Grade.

"You want to harm the loyal and good people, but I, Wang Zongze, will never yield!"

Wang Zongze still looked righteous on the surface, roaring as if the world in his heart could bear witness to him. He poured all his energy into the spear in his hand and stabbed Shen Chennan directly with the spear.

Suddenly, the crowd watching from afar felt as if a hole had been pierced in that void, and the aura was extremely terrifying.

He seemed to be about to charge again, but he turned around after taking three steps forward, took one more step, and was about to jump onto the roof. He was going to escape. Only a fool would really fight to the death!

Shen Chengnan looked at this extremely terrifying shot without any emotion on his face. He simply chopped it with his knife.

He blocked it easily, and the next moment he disappeared from where he was and appeared directly behind Wang Zongze.

Wang Zongze felt the movement behind him and his expression changed completely.

He gritted his teeth and burst out his Qi again, speeding up, but the next moment, a circle of light quickly hit his chest, and he fell from a high altitude in the middle of the alley as if he was hit head-on by a galloping carriage.

He covered his chest with his hands, with traces of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. He looked fiercely towards the rooftop, where stood a beautiful woman wearing golden armor.

The woman had a heroic look on her face, and in the palm of her hand, there was a ball of light rising and falling.

"Murongya!"

Wang Zongze gnashed his teeth and yelled out the name, feeling extremely desperate!
