Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Upon hearing Rong'er's scolding, Dong Guo Zhi awkwardly scratched his head and said to Rong'er with a hint of apology:

"Rong'er, I really wasn't too worried about Yue'er. I rushed over as soon as I heard Uncle Yong say that Yue'er was back. Is Yue'er resting?"

"Rest? How can Yue'er rest? How can she rest when you're shouting and yelling outside the door like this!"

At this moment, Duanmu Rong stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Dongguo Zhi, as if she wanted to see him disappear into the ground. Hearing Duanmu Rong's reprimand, Dongguo Zhi felt embarrassed and could no longer stay, so he hurriedly and awkwardly apologized to her:

"I'm sorry, Rong'er, I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now!"

After Dongguo Zhi left, Gao Yue, who had been hiding behind the door, gradually came out and calmly asked Duanmu Rong:

"Sister Rong'er, when shall we make our move?"

"Let's go rest now tonight." After saying this, Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue turned and went to their room to rest. Night quietly fell on the ghost village, and Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue did not leave their room until late at night.

Gao Yue and Duanmu Rong quietly opened the door. After confirming no one was around, Gao Yue and Duanmu Rong quickly separated, heading towards their planned poisoning sites. When Gao Yue reached the vicinity of the well in the ghost village, she cautiously looked around, carefully took out a jade bottle from her clothes, opened it, and poured the white powder into the well. ...

Chapter 413 Ghostly Attack

After Gao Yue and Duanmu Rong finished administering the poison, they returned to their respective rooms to rest. The next morning, the Mohist disciples and the Xiang clan members rose early to begin their day, while Gao Yue and Duanmu Rong acted as if nothing had happened.

She came out of her room and greeted everyone.

Upon seeing Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue, Dongguo Zhi hurriedly ran over and eagerly asked Duanmu Rong:

"Rong'er, are you hungry? They're having breakfast! Why don't you come along?" After Dongguo Zhi finished speaking, Duanmu Rong nodded silently and led Rong'er into the wooden house next to them. Duanmu Rong had come here not because she and Gao Yue were hungry, but because she wanted to see with her own eyes what it was like for those people to finish their food.

They wanted to report the situation to Luo Chen. Seeing that the Mohist disciples and the Xiang clan were completely unaware of the abnormality in their food, continuing to eat, Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue felt a surge of secret joy. After drinking some thin porridge, Duanmu Rong and Gao...

Yue left the dinner table. Later that evening, Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue hurriedly ran out of their rooms. After arriving at Luo Chen's cabin, they carefully checked the surroundings to make sure no one was following them, then cautiously made their way into the cabin.

They went inside.

Upon seeing the two women enter, Luo Chen eagerly asked them:

"Have you taken care of everything I asked you to do?"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Duanmu Rong nodded solemnly to him and respectfully said:

“This servant has not failed his master’s trust. The disciples of the Mohist school and the Xiang clan have already taken the poison. By tonight, the effects of the poison should have fully taken hold.”

Upon hearing Duanmu Rong's words, Luo Chen immediately laughed and said to her:

"Well done! Chi Lian, now relay my orders: the entire army is to attack Ghost Village!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Chi Lian bowed respectfully and quickly left the wooden hut. As Luo Chen watched Chi Lian depart, a chilling smile gradually appeared on his face. Later that night, Dong Guo Zhi tossed and turned in bed, cold sweat pouring down his face from his temples onto his pillow. From his sleep, Dong Guo Zhi looked back in terror, realizing that although he was in a ghost village...

He was in the middle, but no matter how much he shouted, he didn't see anyone.

At this moment, Dong Guozhi couldn't help but start to panic, and he thought in fear:

"Wasn't I sleeping in my own room? Why am I here, and where is everyone else?!" Just as Dong Guozhi was thinking this, a white shadow flew past him quickly, a cool breeze blowing against his neck. Dong Guozhi abruptly turned around to look behind him, but when he saw what was behind him...

But then he found nothing there. Startled, Dongguo Zhi cautiously surveyed his surroundings, gripping his weapon tightly. Suddenly, a chilling wind swept up to Dongguo Zhi's left again. Sensing the anomaly on his left, Dongguo Zhi quickly drew his sword to the left.

He slashed sideways. As he turned his body, he was so terrified that he dropped his sword. He saw a figure, deathly pale, bald, with no visible features, and long black hair that fluttered wildly in the eerie wind. Upon seeing this, Dongguo Zhi was so frightened he nearly fell over.

He sat down on the ground.

"Hehehe~" A chilling, mournful laugh emanated from the mouthless face of the ghost. Then, the white ghost stretched out its hands, revealing blood-red fingernails, and swiftly reached for Dong Guo Zhi's neck. At that moment, Dong Guo Zhi cried out in fright.

He sat up in a cold sweat from his bed.

After Dongguo Zhi calmed down completely, he wiped the cold sweat from his face with his hands, let out a long sigh, and said weakly:

"That scared me to death! It was just a dream!"

Just as Dong Guozhi finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears, echoing in his sleep.

"Was it really a dream? Heh heh~" Upon hearing this, Dong Guozhi's eyes widened in horror as he looked behind him. He saw the pale ghost perched on Dong Guozhi's shoulder, its bald face resting against Dong Guozhi's head. Seeing this, Dong Guozhi...

He yelled and rolled off his bed.

As Dong Guozhi rolled off the bed, he hurriedly grabbed the weapon hanging nearby and began brandishing it to keep the ghost away. The others followed suit, and screams of terror erupted from the ghost village. Uncle Yong, who had been guarding the village entrance, also jumped up from his sentry post in surprise upon hearing the sounds from within.

He turned and looked towards the village.

But just as Uncle Yong turned his head away, a dead man's head, bleeding from all seven orifices, floated in front of him, smiling at him. When Uncle Yong saw this, he couldn't catch his breath and fainted from fright.

On the other hand, Xiang Shaoyu was both highly skilled and daring. When faced with the sudden appearance, he only showed a brief moment of surprise on his face, but he quickly recovered and charged towards the ghost in front of him with his halberd without any fear.

At this moment, the Qin army gradually arrived at the entrance of the ghost village. When the Qin army commander saw Luo Chen, he hurriedly knelt down before him. Luo Chen glanced in the direction of the ghost village and coldly addressed the Qin soldiers behind him:

"All troops, attack!" With Luo Chen's command, the Qin army soldiers rushed into the ghost village. Those members of the Mohist and Xiang clans, still gripped by fear of the ghosts, were cut down in pools of blood by the suddenly appearing Qin soldiers before they could even react.

Chapter 414 The Fall of the Ghost Village

Hearing the shouts of battle outside, Xiang Shaoyu hurriedly grabbed his halberd and left his room. After witnessing the Qin soldiers kill members of his Xiang clan, Xiang Shaoyu vaguely guessed that what everyone was seeing was likely the work of Qin soldiers.

conspiracy.

Just as Xiang Shaoyu was about to charge forward with his halberd, Xiang Liang, who had been standing beside him, hurriedly grabbed his arm and said urgently to Xiang Shaoyu:

"Yu'er, do not act rashly. This time, the Qin soldiers are probably well-prepared. I sensed something was wrong from the very beginning, so I quickly found a way out. You should lead the Xiang clan members away! I will go and meet up with the Mo family members."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Shaoyu hurriedly stopped his uncle and anxiously said to Xiang Liang:

"Uncle, please don't say any more. I will go and meet the Mo family. Uncle, please leave first!" Without waiting for Xiang Liang's reply, Xiang Shaoyu charged towards Dongguo Zhi's room, hacking his way through the crowd. Seeing this, Xiang Liang understood Xiang Shaoyu's temperament; once he made a decision, nothing could change it. He could only sigh helplessly, his heart filled with worry.

Xiang Shaoyu prayed that he would return safely.

Xiang Shaoyu swung his halberd repeatedly, killing two Qin soldiers around him before kicking open the door to Dongguo Zhi's room. But just as he was about to enter, a sharp sword light shot straight at his face. In a flash, Xiang Shaoyu swiftly raised his halberd to block the attack, and with a sudden burst of strength, the sword that had been in Dongguo Zhi's hand fell to the ground. Having deflected the attack, Xiang Shaoyu then moved towards the room...

Looking inside, the usually lively and cheerful Dongguo Zhi was now cowering in a corner, fearfully facing Xiang Shaoyu. Upon seeing Dongguo Zhi's current state, Xiang Shaoyu understood why he had become like this. He quickly took what he was holding...

He placed the halberd on the ground and quickly ran towards Dongguo Zhi. Seeing Xiang Shaoyu approaching, Dongguo Zhi frantically waved his hands in front of him, trying to stop him. However, Xiang Shaoyu ignored this and grabbed Dongguo Zhi's hands.

He held it in his hand and shouted loudly at Dongguo Zhi:

"Brother Xiaozhi, wake up! This is all just your hallucination. Look closely, it's me, Brother Xiaozhi!"

"Shaoyu? Shaoyu?!" Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Dongguo Zhi's eyes gradually cleared, and he slowly shifted his gaze to Xiang Shaoyu's face. Xiang Shaoyu, seeing Dongguo Zhi's expression, was overjoyed and continued to guide Dongguo...

Zhi said:

"That's right! I'm Shaoyu, Brother Xiaozhi, look again, I'm Shaoyu!"

Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Dongguo Zhi's eyes gradually cleared, and his consciousness began to return to normal. Seeing this, Xiang Shaoyu slowly helped Dongguo Zhi up from the ground. At this moment, Dongguo Zhi weakly said to Xiang Shaoyu:

"Shaoyu, what happened? Why did I become like this?"

Upon hearing Dongguo Zhi's words, Xiang Shaoyu looked at Dongguo Zhi with a worried expression and said:

"Brother Xiaozhi, I'm not entirely sure what's going on either, but the Qin soldiers have already taken advantage of the chaos to break in! Luckily, my uncle had the foresight to dig a secret passage through the ghost village, and I've come to meet you." Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyu mention the Qin soldiers, Dongguo Zhi's face darkened with anxiety. He hurriedly bypassed Xiang Shaoyu, trying to rush out of the room, but the prolonged exertion had already weakened him considerably. He hadn't run more than a few steps before collapsing.

It was on the ground.

Seeing Dongguo Zhi's agitated behavior, Xiang Shaoyu hurriedly ran to Dongguo Zhi's side, pulled him up, and asked him:

"Brother Zhi, what are you doing?"

When Xiang Shaoyu pulled Dongguo Zhi up again, he still tried to break free from Xiang Shaoyu's grasp, shouting repeatedly:

"I'm going to save Rong'er and Yue'er!" After saying this, he tried to rush out again. Xiang Shaoyu understood the situation after hearing Dongguo Zhi's words, but the situation was so complicated, and Dongguo Zhi was so weak; if they went out to wander around now, it would be tantamount to suicide.

road.

After a moment's thought, Xiang Shaoyu made his decision and said to Dongguo Zhi:

"Brother Xiaozhi, you're very weak right now and can't move around easily. How about this? I'll take you to my uncle's side first, and then I'll go find Miss Duanmu and Miss Gaoyue. What do you think?" Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Dongguo Zhi understood his condition, but he felt extremely guilty for making Xiang Shaoyu take such a risk for him. For a moment, Dongguo Zhi fell silent in the room. Xiang Shaoyu saw Dongguo Zhi...

After a moment of silence, thinking that Dongguo Zhi didn't trust him, he looked at Dongguo Zhi with a firm gaze and said:

"Brother Xiaozhi, don't worry, I will definitely help you find it. I, Xiang Shaoyu, am definitely not the kind of person who is afraid of death."

Upon hearing the tone in Xiang Shaoyu's words, Dongguo Zhi immediately realized that Xiang Shaoyu had probably misunderstood him, and hurriedly explained to Xiang Shaoyu:

"Brother Shaoyu, that's not what I meant. It's just that I feel bad for making you take such a big risk for me."

At this moment, Xiang Shaoyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying boldly:

"I, Shaoyu, would go to any lengths for my brothers without hesitation! Let's go, Brother Zhi!" After saying this, Xiang Shaoyu, supporting Dongguo Zhi with one hand and carrying his halberd in the other, rushed out of Dongguo Zhi's room. The Qin soldiers, seeing the two suddenly appear, roared and charged towards them.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Shaoyu snorted coldly, gripping Dongguo Zhi's shoulder tightly with his right hand and wildly swinging his halberd with his left. For a moment, the Qin soldiers couldn't even get close to him. Seeing this, Xiang Shaoyu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chapter 415 Slaughter

Seeing Xiang Shaoyu's bravery, the Qin soldiers hesitated for a moment about whether to charge forward. Xiang Shaoyu, seeing this, did not hesitate at all and quickly used his arm strength to throw Dongguo Zhi out of the crowd.

"Shaoyu!"

Upon seeing Xiang Shaoyu's actions, Dongguo Zhi became extremely anxious and shouted out. Hearing Dongguo Zhi's voice, Xiang Shaoyu burst into hearty laughter and shouted back to him:

"Brother Xiao Zhi! If we have the chance, let's be brothers again in our next life!" After saying this, Xiang Shaoyu charged towards the Qin soldiers with his halberd. Dong Guo Zhi, who had already been thrown out of the crowd by Xiang Shaoyu, let out a pained howl and ran into the dense forest nearby. As the Qin soldiers watched Dong Guo Zhi leave...

He then wanted to give chase.

Seeing this, Xiang Shaoyu immediately held his halberd horizontally in front of him, blocking all the Qin soldiers who wanted to give chase. With a wild laugh, he thrust his halberd at the Qin soldiers in front of him. The moment the Qin soldiers' spears touched Xiang Shaoyu's halberd, there was no second thought. With brute force, Xiang Shaoyu instantly snapped the spears in their hands. Before the Qin soldiers could even react, they were...

He was sent flying by the halberd in Xiang Shaoyu's hand.

Meanwhile, Dongguo Zhi had also entered the dense forest. Xiang Liang and some of the Xiang clan members were anxiously awaiting Xiang Shaoyu's arrival. Only after Xiang Liang saw a black shadow appear ahead did his worries gradually subside. When Dongguo Zhi approached, Xiang Liang, realizing his nephew was nowhere to be seen, panicked and rushed towards him. Dongguo Zhi, seeing Xiang Liang rushing towards him, relaxed his tense nerves, his body going limp.

He fell to the ground.

After Xiang Liang reached Dongguo Zhi's side, he helped Dongguo Zhi up and asked him urgently:

"Where is my nephew?!"

Upon hearing Xiang Liang's words, Dong Guo Zhi also wore a sorrowful expression and said sadly to Xiang Liang:

"Shaoyu! Shaoyu, he..."

After hearing Dongguo Zhi's words, Xiang Liang vaguely guessed that his nephew might be in trouble, but he still dared not give up his last glimmer of hope and shouted loudly at Dongguo Zhi:

"Tell me quickly! How is Shaoyu?!"

Just as Xiang Liang asked this question, a cold voice rang out from behind them.

"Is there even a question! They must have been killed by my army!" Upon hearing the voice behind him, Xiang Liang angrily stood up and looked back. He saw Luo Chen appear before them with Duanmu Rong, Gao Yue, Chi Lian, Shao Siming, Xue Nu, and others. Especially striking was Dong Guo Zhi's revelation of Luo Chen...

Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue, standing behind him, were filled with rage as they shouted loudly at Luo Chen:

"What have you done to Rong'er and the others! Release them now!" Upon hearing Dongguo Zhi's words, Luo Chen sneered, then slowly turned his gaze to Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue. Understanding Luo Chen's meaning, Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue approached him with fawning expressions, then gently pulled him away with their arms.

Chen hugged his arm.

Upon seeing this, Dong Guozhi's face also showed shock. He couldn't believe that the usually cold Rong'er would be in such a state. However, the shock on his face was quickly replaced by anger, and his eyes seemed to spit fire as he roared at Luo Chen:

"What kind of sorcery did you cast on them? Release them at once!"

After hearing Dong Guozhi's words, Luo Chen also sneered and said to Chi Lian, Shao Siming, and Xue Nu behind him:

"Kill them!" Upon hearing Luo Chen's order, Chi Lian's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. She swiftly drew her Chi Lian sword from her waist. Xiang Liang, already furious after hearing Luo Chen say Xiang Shaoyu was dead, was enraged when he saw Chi Lian...

As they charged, he grabbed the longsword from one of his disciples and thrust it at Chi Lian. Xiang Liang, fighting Chi Lian, was like a fierce, fearless lion, refusing to yield an inch. Chi Lian, on the other hand, was like a venomous, multicolored viper, searching for weaknesses in Xiang Liang's moves, ready to pounce at any moment.

They were about to deliver a fatal blow. Seeing Chi Lian engage Xiang Liang, Shao Siming and Xue Nu quickly rushed towards the other Xiang clan disciples, intending to slaughter them all. Xue Nu, originally an assassin from the Seven Kill Sect's Death Gate, received Luo Chen's order and immediately...

He took out his jade flute and began to play it rapidly. Waves of sound reverberated through the Xiang clan members, sounding like a thousand pieces of metal rubbing against each other in their ears. The sharp, grating sound nearly exploded their heads, forcing them to painfully strain to put the flute to their ears.

He plugged his ears to lessen his pain. Seeing this, Shao Siming sneered. Then, she pointed her hands at the surrounding trees, and the dewdrops on them quickly condensed in her hands, transforming into streaks of ice arrows.

At that moment, Shao Siming directly fired the ice arrows in her hand at the disciples.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~" Spikes of blood exploded on the bodies of the Xiang clan members. Xiang Liang, who was focused on the fight, turned his head instinctively upon hearing the screams behind him. Before his eyes, large numbers of his clan members died one after another.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Meanwhile, Chi Lian, who had been searching for Xiang Liang's weakness, saw that he dared to be distracted while fighting her. A fierce glint appeared in her eyes, and the soft sword in her hand instantly transformed into a long whip covered in iron thorns, rapidly moving towards Xiang Liang.

Liang lashed out. Just as Xiang Liang reacted, the iron whip, covered in poisonous barbs, struck his body. With a sudden pullback, the barbs tore a large chunk of flesh from Xiang Liang's arm.

Chapter 416 Rebellion

"what"

Xiang Liang looked at his mangled arm, overwhelmed by the pain, and cried out loudly; his eyes were fixed on the iron whip in Chi Lian's hand. Seeing the hatred in Xiang Liang's eyes, Chi Lian's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"I will kill you! To avenge the descendants of my Xiang clan!"

Enraged, Xiang Liang seemed oblivious to the pain in his arm, thrusting his longsword towards Chi Lian's chest. Chi Lian snorted coldly, her whip flashing like a venomous snake, binding Xiang Liang's sword tightly.

When Xiang Liang saw that his longsword was locked by Chi Lian's whip, he tried to pull the sword out of the iron whip with his left hand. However, Xiang Liang, who was already seriously injured, could not pull the sword out of the iron whip, so he tried to abandon the sword and leave.
