Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Another Grandmaster!_i
Translator: 549690339
As Zhou Hanwen gave the order, the assassins of Blood Moon Tower charged towards the direction of the Jinyiwei Guards amidst a shower of arrows.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen had already become unfazed, recalling the last time he dealt with the Vice Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower, those Ninth Grade experts from Blood Moon Tower also charged forward through the rain of arrows.
It had to be said that before the invention of gunpowder, the status of martial artists was hard to shake in this world.
Unfortunately for them, Lu Chen had arrived!
Lu Chen then distributed grenades to the Jinyiwei Guards, having used only a dozen or so last time to kill the assassins from Blood Moon Tower; he still had plenty left.
Lu Chen then said to the Jinyiwei Guards, “Throw the grenades the way I do.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen pulled the pin, held the grenade in his hand for a moment, and then hurled it towards the direction Zhou Hanwen was in.
Lu Chen’s system could identify people, and with a single glance, he recognized that the man in white was the Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower. Having reached the status of a Ninth Grade Martial Artist with considerable strength, he effortlessly threw the grenade over Zhou Hanwen’s head.
Zhou Hanwen had sharp senses and immediately locked onto the round object in the sky. Even though he didn’t know what it was, a strong sense of crisis surged within him.
That round object looked like a stone, but Zhou Hanwen didn’t believe the Prince’s Mansion had run out of arrows and had to resort to throwing stones it was clearly some specialized weapon.
Zhou Hanwen hurriedly leaped backwards several steps.
Although Zhou Hanwen managed to get away, the martial artists beside him didn’t react in time.
The grenade exploded mid-air and with a thunderous boom, countless shards flew out, piercing through the heads of the martial artists below.
Against traceable arrows, these martial artists might have had a chance to defend themselves, but against the swiftest, chaotically flying grenade shards, they had almost no other option but to dodge.
Witnessing this spectacle, Zhou Hanwen’s face immediately darkened.
Although he had guessed it was a specialized weapon of the Prince’s Mansion, he had not anticipated its power to be this tremendous.
Ninth Grade martial artists stood no chance against this weapon; in the blink of an eye, Blood Moon Tower lost several Ninth Grade experts.
Zhou Hanwen had only thought the Prince’s Mansion possessed a Mysterious Grandmaster, attributing the North Prince’s survival against several assassination attempts from Blood Moon Tower solely to that Mysterious Grandmaster.
Now it appeared they had been gravely mistaken!
Even without the Mysterious Grandmaster, relying solely on this innovative weapon, it would still not be easy for the assassins of Blood Moon Tower to assassinate the North Prince, even if the North Prince Mansion had not a single martial artist.
Everyone had thought the North Prince was useless, but it now seemed the whole world had been deceived!
Possessing such a terrifying weapon and keeping it a secret, the North Prince must be plotting something.
But none of that mattered now; what was critical was how he would kill the North Prince under these circumstances!
Perhaps because Zhou Hanwen, the Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower, was leading the team personally, although the first grenade took out several Ninth Grade martial artists, the assassins from Blood Moon Tower somehow did not falter.
This actually surprised Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen had no intention of giving them time to react, and the next moment, he continued to throw grenades. Following the method Lu Chen just demonstrated, the other Jinyiwei Guards holding grenades also hurled them out.
Subsequently, over a dozen grenades exploded above the heads of the assassins from Blood Moon Tower.
Poor assassins of Blood Moon Tower, they hadn’t even seen the North Prince in person and were already heavily decimated, with only a few remaining.
At this point, Zhou Hanwen panicked.
He had not expected that in such a short span of time, nearly all his men would be gone!
These were the elite assassins from Blood Moon Tower!
Before, these assassins could not only take the life of a prince but killing the emperor of a small kingdom would have been no issue. However, today, they had nearly all perished before even laying eyes on the North Prince.
The weaponry of the North Prince Mansion was too terrifying!
No good!
He must hurry and leave the North Prince Mansion!
The weapons of the North Prince Mansion had never leaked a whisper because anyone who saw these weapons from the outside must have been killed, otherwise, it would be impossible for Great Xia to have no information about such weapons.
This is a weapon powerful enough to subvert the martial arts world!
If the news that the North Prince Mansion possessed such weapons got out, the entire martial arts world would shudder, and the status of martial artists would plummet.
Zhou Hanwen thought to himself that although he might not be able to kill the North Prince, if he could just escape and spread the word about the North Prince Mansion’s secret weapon, it wouldn’t be long before the North Prince would be assassinated by top martial artists from all over the world.
He didn’t believe the North Prince could protect himself when that time came!
With this thought, Zhou Hanwen turned to escape.
However, the moment he turned around, he found a man dressed in red, with a long blade slung at his waist, leaning against the doorframe of the mansion’s main gate.
The moment Zhou Hanwen saw Qin Yushan, his pupils shrank slightly.
Another Grandmaster!
And not just any Grandmaster!
He had seen this man before!
This was the assassin known across the martial arts community as Blood Demon Mad Blade!
Blood Moon Tower didn’t exist when this man was dominating the pugilistic world. He had only seen him from a distance once back then.
Zhou Hanwen never expected to see this man again in this place!
The only thought left in Zhou Hanwen’s mind was to flee!
Not to mention the Prince’s Mansion’s secret weapon, just the Blood Demon Mad Blade himself was more than he could handle.
Others might have been Grandmasters decades ago, and even if Qin Yushan remained a Grandmaster now, he would be someone whose strength was infinitely close to that of a Grandmaster.
Not something he, who had only recently entered the Master Realm, could contend against!
Zhou Hanwen couldn’t understand why Blood Demon Mad Blade would show up at the North Prince Mansion!
He had actually become a subordinate of the North Prince!
How did the North Prince accomplish this!
At that moment, Qin Yushan spoke with a smile, “Life-snatching Scholar Zhou Hanwen, Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower, 1 have long wanted to encounter your iron fan. It seems today I will finally get my wish.”
After hearing Qin Yushan’s words, Zhou Hanwen came back to his senses.
Now was not the time to ponder these things. Now that he knew the terror of the North Prince Mansion, the North Prince was even less likely to let him leave. If he wanted to escape, he would have to deal with Qin Yushan first.
Zhou Hanwen then took out a fan, “whoosh,” opened it, and said, “Then please enlighten me, senior!”
While talking, Zhou Hanwen waved his fan, and a dozen sharp needles flew towards Qin Yushan.
Qin Yushan easily dodged these sharp needles. With one forceful step, he shot towards Zhou Hanwen like a cannonball.
The best way to deal with the ranged weapon-type hidden weapons in Zhou Hanwen’s hands was to close the distance.
But Zhou Hanwen’s iron fan was obviously not just capable of launching hidden weapons. He immediately flicked his wrist, closed the fan, and in the next moment, a blade appeared on the tip of the fan.
Zhou Hanwen’s iron fan had turned into a sword at that moment.
The two then engaged in close-quarters combat, the collision of blade and fan sending sparks flying. Both released their Protective Gang Qi completely, causing the floor tiles around them to be upturned..
