Chapter Twenty-Eight: Take Control of Pingjiang City

Yang Rui was suspended in the dark night sky, looking at Pingjiang City, which was pitch black below with only a few lights, and countless thoughts flowed in his head.

Infiltrating the City Lord's Mansion and killing the Young City Lord Wang Peng was not difficult for Yang Rui.

But after killing Wang Peng, Pingjiang City will fall into chaos, and Yang Rui will need to spend a lot of time and energy to quell the chaos if he wants to control Pingjiang City.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Yang Rui prepared to subdue the two remaining innate martial artists in Pingjiang City, Ma Liqun and Zhang Yuan.

Ma Liqun is the commander of the Pingjiang City Guards, controlling more than 10,000 elite city guards in Pingjiang City.

Zhang Yuan is the captain of the Pingjiang City Law Enforcement Team, and there are more than 1,000 law enforcement teams under his command composed of all martial artists.

Subduing Ma Liqun and Zhang Yuan is equivalent to subduing more than 10,000 city guards and more than 1,000 elite warriors' law enforcement team, controlling the force of the ninth layer of Pingjiang City, and can easily control Pingjiang City.

After having an idea in his heart, Yang Rui did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and as soon as his body moved, he galloped away in the direction of the mansion where Ma Liqun lived.

Soon, Yang Rui landed in the back garden of Mafu and sneaked towards Ma Liqun's front yard.

Coming to Ma Liqun's front yard, Yang Rui quietly grabbed the guards of the Famous Horse Mansion, pulled them into the darkness, and asked in a cold tone: "Where is Ma Liqun in that room?"

Hearing Yang Rui's cold inquiry, and feeling his back being pressed against a sharp steel object, the Ma Mansion guard's face changed greatly, and he immediately responded softly: "Commander Ma is cultivating in the cultivation room on the left side of the front yard!"

Getting the answer he wanted, Yang Rui formed a palm with his left hand, cut the Mafu guard unconscious, and sneaked in the direction of the Mafu cultivation room.

Soon, Yang Rui came to the outside of the Mafu cultivation room, and found that there were no guards outside the cultivation room, so he sneaked into it directly.

Ding! Ding!

A crisp bell rang suddenly when Yang Rui entered the cultivation room.

"How careful!"

Looking at the rope that was tightened because the door opened, Yang Rui chuckled, and then carried Fang Tian's halberd and swaggered into the cultivation room.

"Yang Rui?"

Ma Liqun held a spear in his hand, looked at Yang Rui who had entered the cultivation room, and muttered with a look of surprise on his face

"Commander Ma, Wang Qi took Wang Ping and Zhao Yu to assassinate me, and I have already killed him! Now, I will give you two choices, one is to surrender to me, serve me, and continue to enjoy glory and wealth, and the other is to be killed by me on the spot, and the family will be ruined!"

Yang Rui released the momentum of the innate martial artist, and said with a sinister face.

"Innate Martial Artist! You have been promoted to Innate Martial Artist! This is incredible!"

Feeling the innate martial artist aura released by Yang Rui, Ma Liqun exclaimed with a look of shock on his face.

After a burst of exclamation, Ma Liqun immediately looked at Yang Rui with a solemn look and said, "Is what you said true?"

Yang Rui was only sixteen years old, and he had the cultivation strength of an innate martial artist, which showed how outstanding his talent was, and his future was immeasurable, and he would definitely become a grandmaster martial artist in the future, and even a great grandmaster martial artist, and become one of the top powerhouses in the Flame Kingdom.

If what Yang Rui said was true, Ma Liqun didn't mind taking refuge in Yang Rui and finding a strong backer for himself.

Of course, what Yang Rui said was false, so Ma Liqun didn't mind leaving Yang Rui behind, and simply handed it over to Wang Qi to gain Wang Qi's trust and reward.

"I don't have to lie to you, this is the jade plate that Wang Qi carries with him, which should prove that what I said is true!"

Yang Rui reached into his arms, took out a jade plate, and threw it into the group.

Ma Liqun took the jade card, looked at it carefully, and found that it was true, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Yang Rui with a suspicious gaze.

The jade plate on Wang Qi's body is a token of Wang Qi's Pingjiang City Lord, which has always been carried with him, and now it appears in Yang Rui's hand, and what Yang Rui said is true Nine times out of ten, Ma Liqun was shocked.

You must know that Wang Qi is a congenital peak martial artist, Wang Ping and Zhao Yu are also innate mid-stage martial artists, and Yang Rui was able to kill three people, which made Ma Liqun very shocked and couldn't believe it at all.

"The jade medal is right! But who knows where your jade medal came from, maybe you stole it! Let's fight, as long as you can defeat me, I will surrender to you and serve you!"

After a burst of shock, Ma Liqun's eyes flashed, and with a light snort, he encouraged the true qi in his body, waved the stainless steel spear in his hand, and used the strongest marksmanship to stab Yang Rui's body.

In the face of Ma Liqun's sudden attack, Yang Rui sneered, the true qi in his body was running, and the Peerless Halberd Method was unleashed, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand with a sharp edge went straight to meet the stainless steel spear in Ma Liqun's hand.

Bang!

In a crisp sound, the Fang Tian painting halberd in Yang Rui's hand collided with the stainless steel spear in Ma Liqun's hand, instantly cutting off the stainless steel spear, and slashed through Ma Liqun's chest unabated, cutting through his clothes, leaving a clear blood mark on his chest.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Rui's wrist moved, and Fang Tian's halberd was placed on Ma Liqun's shoulder, as long as he used a little force, he could cut off Ma Liqun's head.

After that, Yang Rui said in a cold tone: "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink! Give you a little bitter taste first, and you will know the end of playing clever tricks with me!"

As he spoke, the true qi in Yang Rui's body surged, and he used the martial arts in the nine-story small tower of the seal of life and death, and the pure true qi fused together under Yang Rui's mobilization, forming a special imprint and entering Ma Liqun's body.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Rui withdrew the Fang Tian painting halberd on Ma Liqun's shoulder, urging the seal of life and death.

Suddenly, I saw Ma Liqun's body stiffening, letting out a terrible scream, and he fell to the ground weakly, rolling frantically on the ground, his eyes were full of pain, as if ten thousand arrows pierced his heart.

A minute later, Yang Rui stopped urging the seal of life and death, and the severe pain on Ma Liqun's body disappeared instantly, he stood up with difficulty, looked at Yang Rui with fearful eyes, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Subordinate Ma Liqun has seen the master!"

At this moment, a team of Ma Fu guards rushed to the outside of the cultivation room after hearing the movement, and just happened to see the scene of Ma Liqun kneeling on one knee, their faces changed greatly, and a look of horror flashed in their eyes.

"Get out of here!"

Ma Liqun looked at the guards who suddenly entered the cultivation room, and the aura of the innate martial artist was released, and he scolded loudly in a cold tone.

Hearing Ma Liqun's scolding, and feeling the powerful aura emanating from Ma Liqun's body, the Ma Mansion guards who entered the cultivation room immediately quickly exited the cultivation room without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, and disappeared into Ma Liqun's field of vision.

"Get up!"

After the Ma Mansion guards left, Yang Rui looked at Ma Liqun, who was kneeling on one knee, and said in a flat tone.

"Thank you, Lord!" Ma Liqun replied respectfully.

"Come with me!"

Seeing Ma Liqun's respectful appearance, Yang Rui smiled slightly, gave a soft command, and left the cultivation room, took off into the air, and galloped towards Zhang Yuan's house.

Seeing Yang Rui's movements, Ma Liqun immediately left the cultivation room, took off into the air, and galloped towards Zhang Yuan's house.

Soon, Yang Rui and Ma Liqun landed in front of the gate of Zhang's mansion.

Ma Liqun stepped forward and knocked on the door of Zhang's mansion.

Seeing Ma Liqun, the porter of Zhang's mansion immediately invited Ma Liqun and Yang Rui into Zhang's mansion and sent someone to inform Zhang Yuan.

A moment later, Ma Liqun and Yang Rui, led by a Zhang Mansion guard, arrived in a spacious and bright conference hall.

"Commander Ma, what are you looking for me at night?"

Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on the main seat of the conference hall, saw Yang Rui behind Ma Liqun, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Ma Liqun's body and asked softly.

"Captain Zhang, Wang Qi took Wang Ping and Zhao Yu to assassinate Yang Shao, and he has been beheaded by Yang Shao! Now, you have two choices, one is to take refuge in Yang Shao, serve Yang Shao, and continue to enjoy glory and wealth, and the other is to be killed by Yang Shao on the spot, and his family will be ruined!" Ma Liqun got straight to the point.

"Commander Ma, it's really surprising that you actually took refuge in Yang Rui! However, Yang Rui is not even a martial artist, so he wants me to take refuge in Yang Rui and serve Yang Rui, which is simply delusional!"

Although Zhang Yuan was shocked by Ma Liqun's words, he did not panic in the slightest, but looked at Ma Liqun with a calm face.

"It seems that there is still a fight before you can take refuge in me!"

Without waiting for Ma Liqun to respond, Yang Rui chuckled, agitated the true qi in his body, cast the Peerless Halberd Method, waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and slashed towards Zhang Yuan's body.

In the face of Yang Rui's sudden attack, Zhang Yuan's face changed slightly, and he quickly pulled out the sharp long sword on his waist, and used a sharp sword technique to meet Yang Rui.

Bang!

In a crisp sound, the sharp long sword in Zhang Yuan's hand was knocked away by Fang Tian's halberd, his shirt was slashed by Fang Tian's halberd, and a long blood mark appeared on his abdomen.

"Do you want to continue? If you continue, I won't leave my hand!" Yang Rui stood with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, looking at Zhang Yuandao with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the blood marks on his abdomen, and knew that if it weren't for Yang Rui's mercy, he would have been cut in two by Yang Rui's halberd, and if he continued to fight with Yang Rui, he would definitely die tragically under Yang Rui's Fang Tian painting halberd, which was something that Zhang Yuan was absolutely unwilling to accept.

Therefore, after a period of hesitation, Zhang Yuan respectfully saluted Yang Rui and said, "Subordinate Zhang Yuan has seen the master!"

Seeing Zhang Yuan's movements, Yang Rui said expressionlessly: "Don't resist, I want to implant a life and death mark on your body!"

As he spoke, the true qi in Yang Rui's body surged, condensed a seal of life and death, and hit Zhang Yuan's body.

Although he didn't know what the seal of life and death was, Zhang Yuan also knew that the seal of life and death was definitely not a good thing, and he didn't want the seal of life and death to enter his body.

It's just that when Zhang Yuan saw the cold murderous intent in Yang Rui's eyes and the gloating look in Ma Liqun's eyes not far away, he was shocked, and he didn't dare to resist, allowing the seal of life and death to enter his body.

"For the sake of your acquaintance, I won't let you try the taste of the seal of life and death! You should immediately mobilize a group of henchmen to surround the City Lord's Mansion now, and don't let anyone go!"

Seeing that Zhang Yuan did not resist, the corners of Yang Rui's mouth showed a satisfied smile and commanded softly.

"Yes, Lord!" Zhang Yuan and Ma Liqun responded in unison, and they acted quickly.

Soon after, Zhang Yuan and Ma Liqun led more than 2,000 elite men to surround the City Lord's Mansion.

Yang Rui took Zhang Yuan and Ma Liqun and swaggered into the City Lord's Mansion.
