He was able to withstand a palm that was almost at the peak of the ninth level. Not only did he not show any signs of injury, he also bounced the opponent back. Such a high level of cultivation would never be possible except for those who were in the realm of perfection.
Although Xue Dongfeng was not injured, the shock deep in his heart made him almost stunned. Looking into Wan Dong's eyes, they were wide open and full of disbelief and shock.
Xue Dongfeng had never even heard of the state of perfection at such a young age, let alone seen it. It can definitely be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
No wonder he dared to come to Divine Thunder City to take up his post without any bodyguards. No wonder he showed no fear in the face of his fierce self. Got it, Xue Dongfeng understood it all at once. This is simply the boldness of a skilled artist! When you are in the state of perfection, even if you have thousands of troops, what do you have to fear
"Sir, are you okay?" Wu Xun and the other guards all looked confused. I can't figure it out. Logically speaking, Wandong should be the one who died. Why, in the end, Xue Dongfeng looked horrified, while Wandong was smiling and calm.
Wu Xun and a group of guards did not personally feel the terror of Wandong like Xue Dongfeng did. It is the ignorant who are fearless!
Xue Dongfeng waved his hand violently, interrupting the words of Wu Xun and others. He looked at Wandong with fear in his eyes and said, "Please forgive me, City Lord. I just couldn't hold myself back for a moment, so I lost my temper."
It can be seen that Xue Dongfeng is still trying hard to hold on, but the softened voice has clearly shown that deep down in his heart, he has surrendered.
Can you not give in? Facing a strong man in the realm of perfection, a figure who is like a living god, the result of not giving in is just one word - death!
Xue Dongfeng is a sensible person, and he knows the situation in front of him very well. With Wandong's cultivation in the realm of perfection, it would be easy to kill him. And with Wandong's current status and the power of the Xu family, if he killed the commander of a small border town, even if it was for no reason, no one would dare to pursue him.
However, Xue Dongfeng was not completely helpless. This is the Thunder City after all, and he has an army of 200,000 under his command. This should be his only bargaining chip with Wandong.
Hu Gui also didn't expect that Wandong would be so awesome!
When Xue Dongfeng rushed towards him with great momentum, Hu Gui thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, Wan Dong just waved his hand and forced Xue Dongfeng back, allowing Hu Gui to escape death. , and even more so. I feel more and more that I seem to have made the right bet on this treasure.
"Xue Dongfeng, do you want to kill people and silence them in front of the city lord? How brave are you!" Hu Gui was so bold that he raised two fingers, pointed at the tip of Xue Dongfeng's nose and scolded him sternly.
"Damn Hu Gui! He bites people indiscriminately when he is about to die. What evidence do you have that Mr. Xue colluded with the Ghost Imperial Army?" He pointed at Hu Gui and yelled angrily.
"Evidence? Of course there is!" Hu Gui turned around and pointed randomly at his soldiers, "You, you, you, and you, did you all see that Xue Dongfeng secretly hooked up with the Ghost Imperial Army?"
Of course the soldiers under Hu Gui listened to Hu Gui's words. As soon as Hu Gui finished speaking, there was a burst of mixed responses from below, and they all nodded in agreement. Even some people who were not named by Hu Gui were rushing to stand up and testify. That scene was much more lively than when Wu Xun and others testified for Xue Dongfeng just now. There was no other way, Xue Dongfeng only brought a few dozen guards, but the city lord's palace gathered a thousand men and horses under Hu Gui's command. More than people? Xue Dongfeng was completely defeated!
"Cao! Hu Gui, are you out of your mind? These are your subordinates, do their words count?" Wu Xun rolled his eyes angrily.
Hu Gui sneered, his words full of sarcasm and said, "Joke! You Xue Dongfeng's dogs can all testify for Xue Dongfeng, can't my people testify for me?"
"You..." Wu Xun choked to death at Hu Gui's words, and his face turned blue.
Wandong shook his head and said loudly, "Master Xue, so many people said that they saw you colluding with people from the Ghost Imperial Army, so it's not like they are all framed against you, right? This matter really makes me a little bit confused. It’s difficult!”
Xue Dongfeng felt hatred in his heart, and his teeth felt itchy. How could he not understand that Wandong was just trying to treat others the way they were treated? Aren't you, Xue Dongfeng, messing around? I'll be messing around with you too. If you frame Hu Gui, I will frame you! If you kill Hu Gui, I will chop off your head! Anyway, he Wandong is sure to make a profit from this transaction.
Even Hu Gui would definitely not cry out for injustice. He was happy to have a big man like Xue Dongfeng buried with him!
Xue Dongfeng's heart couldn't help but sink. Wan Dong's cultivation was just unpredictable, but he didn't expect his scheming to be so vicious. This person is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the original Chu City Lord.
What is Hu Gui? Of course Xue Dongfeng would not be buried with him, so he sighed secretly. Huo De turned his head and glared at Wu Xun, and said gloomily, "Wu Xun, I ask you, on the night City Lord Chu was killed, did you really see Commander Hu entering and leaving the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Ah, yes, it is..."
Snapped!
Before Wu Xun could finish his words, Xue Dongfeng slapped him in the face so hard that two or three of Wu Xun's teeth were broken.
"You bastard! This is a matter of life and death. Please think about it carefully!"
This Wu Xun is still not smart enough, and he really deserves to be beaten! If he was smart enough, he should be able to pick out the flavor from Xue Dongfeng's words. The original Hu Gui has now become Commander Hu. This is the most obvious hint.
After receiving a firm slap from Xue Dongfeng, Wu Xun finally came to his senses, covered his face, and cried, "Subordinate... I remembered that the person that day seemed... not Commander Hu." , it’s... my subordinate recognized the wrong person.”
"You bastard! Because of you, I almost wronged a good man. If the city lord hadn't taken office today and didn't want to see bloodshed, I would have ripped off your head!" After scolding Wu Xun, Xue Dongfeng laughed. Looking at Wandong, he said, "Lord City Lord, everything is clear now. Wu Xun and the others were wrong. Commander Hu was not the murderer who murdered City Lord Chu."
"Really not? Mr. Xue, do you want to find out more?" Wandong asked seriously.
Xue Dongfeng felt bitter in his heart. If the investigation continues, he will be designated as the unlucky person. Hu Gui was not the murderer of the Chu City Lord, but he was actually the leader of the Phantom Forbidden Army.
"There is no need to investigate! The truth is very clear." After saying that, Xue Dongfeng looked at Hu Gui again and said sincerely, "Commander Hu, Xue's investigation was unclear and I have wronged you."
"Hehe... Does that mean I don't have to be cut into pieces?"
Hu Gui's face was serious, but his heart was already blooming with joy, and he was so happy! Just now, he thought that Wandong really didn't care about him, but he would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would be free of guilt. Moreover, Xue Dongfeng apologized to him personally. This trick was too unexpected. Also, he has been in Divine Thunder City for so long, and this seems to be the first time he has seen Xue Dongfeng eat so hard, and he has eaten so hard.
There's something going on! Following the new city lord, it is indeed very exciting!
"Of course I don't have to!" Xue Dongfeng hated Hu Gui to the point of eating him alive. I'll give you a step, just come down. I have to ask this question again. Is it interesting to look at my old Xue's face? Xue Dongfeng almost forced these five words out of his teeth.
"Haha... Well, Commander Hu, when my subordinates make mistakes, do you and your subordinates also make mistakes?"
Hu Gui knew in his heart that this was Xue Dongfeng making peace with him. I have cleared it for you, and you should also clear it for me. Everyone takes a step back, pretending that nothing happened, and everyone is happy.
Hu Gui also thought so. After all, Xue Dongfeng was the commander-in-chief, with an army of 200,000 under his command, so he was not a vegetarian. If you really push him, the consequences will be unpredictable. In fact, being able to immortalize himself was already a victory for Hu Gui.
"Haha... That's it! When I think about it, it seems that I really saw it wrong. Who do you think the Ghost Imperial Army are? They are just beasts. People who associate with these beasts can have good virtues. Sex? He must be that kind of crooked, inhuman bastard. How could it be you, Mr. Xue?"
Hu Gui wanted to flatter Xue Dongfeng, but the situation was too tense. Unexpectedly, this flattering skill was as bad as pointing at Xue Dongfeng and scolding his mother, and it still made him resentful. Xue Dongfeng's heart was pounding like a thunderbolt, and he had to nod his head in agreement, so there was no mention of his grievances.
"Wait!" Xue Dongfeng was about to respond to Hu Gui when Wan Dong suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
"Master Xue, it is already clear that Hu Gui was not the murderer of City Lord Chu. But whether you have colluded with the Ghost Forbidden Army, I think we need to investigate further!"
"Wha... what?" Wandong's words immediately made Xue Dongfeng frown.
What's wrong? I, Xue Dongfeng, have taken the initiative to bow my head and admit defeat, and cleared Hu Gui of his grievances. Then this matter should be settled here, but you, the city lord, are still holding on to this matter. Do you really think that I, Xue Dongfeng, are afraid of it? Is it easy to bully you
Hu Gui was also stunned for a moment, looking at Wan Dong with surprise in his eyes.
Wan Dong was not in a hurry, reached out and took out a small copper token, handed it to Xue Dongfeng, and asked, "Master Xue, do you recognize this token?"
Xue Dongfeng took it and took a look. Without thinking too much, he nodded, "I know you! This is my token."
Wandong nodded slightly and said, "What kind of person is that? Master Xue would give him the token?"
"Of course you have to be someone you can trust! With this copper token, you can mobilize 5,000 troops in my military camp, which is no small feat!"
"In other words, the person with such a token must be a close confidant of yours, Mr. Xue?" Wan Dong asked again casually.
Xue Dongfeng hummed and was about to nod when his expression suddenly changed and he asked in surprise, "Lord City Lord, how did you get this token?" (To be continued)
