The maids couldn't believe their ears. Was the lord of the city preparing for the attack of the Marquis and not even afraid of it??
Of course, everyone understood that this was inevitable, but Linghu Feng was definitely an impeccable expert. How could he even think about accepting the Marquis's challenge??
It was believed that one marquis expert was worth thousands of flawless ones. The difference between the concentration of the energy of the world that they owned was so great that impeccable experts simply could neither break through the defense nor defend against attacks.
Some used only a phantom of the energy of the world, others condensed it into solid matter. The difference is like between steam and ice!
Only the legends of the past, who in the future managed to become wanderers of the void, thought about surpassing their own rank. But thousands of years have passed since then! For how many generations have people been born who are capable of something like this??
Thousands of years is a very long time. Countless emperors have appeared and replaced, but not a single wanderer of the void Kyushu has been seen since ancient times..
Therefore, everything said that the lord of the city could not defeat the Marquis.
But the confidence with which he said that he was ready to fight... made them doubt. Maybe Linghu Feng could really win?
The maids looked at each other and saw in each other’s eyes that no, he couldn’t. They had heard of young men who had the courage to challenge older experts, but not of those who came out victorious..
Their fate was once again on the verge of uncertainty. Whether the next lord would replace them or allow them to stay was the only thing that mattered now.Feifei snorted, not caring about their doubts, and said:
“Feng, I've watched you perfect your craft for years. You can do it.”
“I believe in you too,” Zhulu quickly supported.
He didn't let his emotions show it, but their support helped Feng a lot. And the thought that he would finally be able to surpass his older brother made his blood burn!
Looking up at the sky, he tightly grasped the hilt of his sword and said:
“Wait, big brother... I can surprise you too!”
The sword's will merged with his aura and expanded far beyond the palace.
.˙.
“Lord! Where are you? My brothers and I want to challenge you!”
Several experts at the peak of impeccable rank stood at the palace gate and shouted loudly towards the courtyard. They looked excited, as if they couldn't wait for the fight.
The palace servants whispered among themselves, immediately guessing that the Marquis Howe had sent this disaster to the lord’s head..
The fact that he got rid of all competitors in the bud was no secret to anyone. Largely for the reason that Howe himself did not need a secret. On the contrary, he scared away those on whom he would otherwise have to waste time.
All the servants could do was ask the experts to wait for the city lord to answer their call..
“We have already sent our people, they will bring him soon,” said the gate guard. “Wait please.”
“Hmph!” snorted the leader of experts.
Taking a couple of steps back, he channeled his aura to intensify his scream.:
“Lord Linghu, what are you, a turtle?! Stop hiding in your shell, come out and let's fight!”
“Yes, Lord Linghu, you don’t want to become a laughing stock?! Come out and fight if you're a man!”
Their aura was so vast that almost everyone in the Lonely City heard their screams. But their faces changed when an icy female voice suddenly sounded ahead.: ʀÀŊо฿ЁṤ
“You bark like dogs. And aren’t you ashamed to call yourselves impeccable experts? No real warrior would humiliate himself like that for the sake of his master..”
Their screams were cut off, they all looked gloomily at the man walking in the company of two ladies and several maids. The people around also calmed down - only the wife of the city lord, Miss Feifei, could speak like that..
The servants immediately bowed to the waist and greeted her, she just waved her hand.
Although she had only managed to rise to the sixth stage of the flawless rank so far, her aura was not inferior to the auras of these experts.
Looking over them, she said with contempt:
“What are you doing here, you insignificant dogs? How did you have the audacity to disgrace this city with your pathetic mugs? Couldn't go further than the peak and surrendered to the hands of the owner, who promised a sweet life? Nonentities.”
These words hit the hardest. Their martial arts paths were truly stuck at the peak and they had lost all hope of moving forward..
They didn’t even dare to answer the wife of the man who could very well kill them for this; they could only grind their teeth and pretend that they hadn’t heard anything..
Looking at Feng, their leader cupped his fist and said:
“You kept me waiting, Lord Linghu. I'd like to get this estate soon, so let's do it already–”
“Here are the dogs,” Feifei interrupted. “What’s the point of lying if everyone already understands that you were sent by the “honorable” Marquis Howe? You do not even have the honor to tell the truth, and you were sent by a coward who, in the rank of marquis, is afraid to challenge an impeccable expert. Disgrace.”
They turned red with anger and embarrassment at her words. Who would have the audacity to publicly say such a thing??!
And who will get hit on the head for this? The three of them!
The leader tried again to pretend he didn't hear anything.:
“We came to quit–”
“You came to abandon your honor, if there was anything left,” Feifei snorted. “If three of you have the audacity to attack one, then attack. All three of us. We don't have any extra time for such losers..”
“Three of us? the leader asked, his gaze jumping between her and the lord of the city.
“Naturally! Do you think Lord Linghu has extra time for idiots like you? Attack together or get out of here.”
The leader exchanged glances with his comrades. All three were experts at the peak of the flawless rank.
Who did she take them for??
Linghu Feng himself did not say a word. He just pulled his sword out of its sheath and pointed at the three of them.
The sword spoke louder than words.
This made all three of them feel furious. The leader said with clenched teeth:
“Okay, okay. Since you are so impudent, then we won’t hold back either!”
The three of them drew sabers and swords.
People who had previously been watching calmly felt a surge of emotions. One against three! Four experts of impeccable rank at once! A duel was approaching, the kind that rarely happens!
The city lord’s wife also made such statements that the Marquis will now have to answer them! Interesting times were brewing!
“Let's fight!” the leader roared and the three of them rushed to attack, without any stances or techniques - the pure, brute strength of monkeys picking up a stick.
