dy, that he finally breathed his last!Creak~The iron cage was flung open, and countless bloodstained spikes were pulled from the eunuch's body. His lifeless corpse, covered in blood and gaping wounds,...At the gate of the imperial city, Zhang Liyang looked at the young general in front of him with a puzzled expression. "General, is there something wrong with your token"

"No problem."

"Why not let me pass"

I said, if you can beat me, you can pass. If you can't, then go back the way you came.

"Are you sure you want to do this"

From the hour of Zi, all those who obstructed were members of the Jianghu, none from the imperial court.

What does this mean

Although it was a wager between two high-ranking officials, it was clear that they didn't want to involve the court, and in their eyes, even those from the Jianghu were nothing more than actors performing on stage for the entertainment of the people.

But now there is such a naive fellow, who actually blocked Zhang Liyang outside the city gate when he took out his token.

"General, you..."

Enough talk, if I win this fight, I can leave this place and go to the border to kill enemies, so you're definitely not getting past tonight.

Well, Zhang Liyang hadn't even asked for the reason yet, but this young general readily stated it.

"Um... I wonder, General, what your name might be"

"Hu Fei, are you going to fight or not"

"Hu Fei Hu Fei from Lord Hu's family" Zhang Liyang's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Minister of Household Hu Anbang had one son and one daughter. They were well-known throughout the Imperial City.

Throughout the entire imperial city, it was well-known that Hu Juanbang, who had originally been a civil official, gave birth to a dull son. This dull son did not inherit his father's intelligence, but instead possessed an incredibly strong physique.

From a young age, he was incredibly strong and caused quite a bit of trouble for Juan.

As Juan Pang grew older, he realized that his son Hu Fei simply didn't have the aptitude for studying. He had no choice but to give up on Hu Fei's education and turn him towards martial arts instead.

This semester was extraordinary. With his naturally strong physique, Hu Fei's cultivation advanced rapidly. In just a few years, he leaped over one ring and entered the second ring.

And the first thing Hu Fei did after achieving success was to beat up each of those young masters and ladies who had once ridiculed and mocked him.

It is said that the entire imperial city was filled with wails that day, and those young masters and ladies did not dare to show their faces for several days.

... to the point where those young masters and ladies' parents and ancestors directly filed a complaint against Hu Anbang in court.

Little did they know that after hearing a certain matter, Emperor Dakyan not only failed to punish Hu Anbang, but instead bestowed upon Hu Fei the rank of a fifth-rank military official, astonishing everyone in the court.

This is only part of it. What's even more troublesome is that Hu Fei is incredibly stubborn. The GreatǬ Emperor ordered him to guard the imperial city gate, and this guy takes his duty seriously. No matter who comes, as long as they pass through the gate, they have to be inspected!

Then, how could those officials and nobles stand for this They immediately joined Hu Fei in a toast. The outcome, needless to say, was that they were all beaten up by Hu Fei until they looked like pigs' heads.

From the oldest to the youngest, everyone was beaten by Hu Fei.

Hu Fei did this, and even Emperor Dagan couldn't bear it. Half of the civil and military officials came to court wearing pig heads. Emperor Dagan looked at them, and his mouth twitched for a while. But Hu Fei was following the rules, and no one could say anything. So, in an unspoken understanding, Hu Fei's work hours were moved to the night.

"Are you trying to stop me so you can go to the border"

"Yes."

"Does your father know about this"

I don't know, what's wrong

At this point, Zhang Liyang fully understood that this famous "straight stick" was definitely being manipulated.

"Alright, let me go. As for going to the border, leave it to me."

"You" Hu Fei tilted his head and looked at Zhang Liyang, "What makes you, a eunuch, think you can send me to the border"

"Hmph... Why"

Zhang Liyang heard Hu Fei's words and suddenly laughed. But this laugh made Hu Fei feel a chill on his back.

Click, click~

The sound of bone scraping against bone echoed through the air. Zhang Liyang raised his fist, "If you can take a punch from me without falling, then consider this nothing ever said."

"Come, see if I can catch it!"

Although he, Hu Fei, was shrinking his head in fear, when it came to martial arts, he, Hu Fei, was absolutely stubborn!

But Hu Fei completely forgot at this moment that it was he who initially challenged Zhang Liyang to a match. As a result, now he had become the one receiving Zhang Liyang's punch.

If those people knew that Hu Fei was so easily led astray by Zhang Liyang, they would probably be furious.

"Ready Here I come!"

Bang, bang~.

Patting his chest to show he was ready, Zhang Liyang didn't hesitate and directly punched towards Hu Fei's chest!

This punch is not fast, it can even be said to be very slow!

But Hu Fei's expression changed immediately, and his eyes became serious.

Under Zhang Liyang's fist, the bluestone slabs beneath began to crack under the terrifying force. Soon, they couldn't bear it any longer and shattered one after another!

Amongst the scattered gravel, a trench appeared on the surface, one and a half feet wide and half a foot deep!

Boom boom boom~

A muffled roar followed closely, like an enraged dragon, rearing its head and furiously charging at Hu Fei with its horns.

"Cheers!"

Under immense pressure, Hu Fei let out a furious roar and his body actually expanded by a third, like a small giant. His armor was almost burst open by the swelling Hu Fei!

"Giant Spirit Technique!"

With both arms outstretched, like a giant shield, they blocked Zhang Liyang's fist.

Boom!~

Fists and arms collided with a thunderous impact, creating a powerful gust of wind that swept everything around outward, forming a swirling wall of energy!

Humph~

A muffled groan arose, and the moment Hu Fei's fist connected with Zhang Liyang's, he felt as if a giant siege hammer had smashed into him.

The immense power sent Hu Fei's arms flying backwards, smashing against his own chest.

"Stop!"

In a roar of fury, Hu Fei's eyes were bloodshot, his whole body surging with power like a mighty wave crashing within him.

But Zhang Liyang's punch was too powerful. Even though Hu Fei used all his might, he still couldn't completely block it.

Boom!

Under the deafening roar, Hu Fei's feet dragged out two deep trenches, and his whole body slammed against the city wall under the immense force.

Ahem...

Shhh!

Under several coughs, Hu Fei's chest armor shattered into iron filings and fell to the ground, revealing his strong chest. But at this moment, a bright red fist print was clearly visible on his chest.

"You win, you can go now!"

Feeling a pain in his chest, Hu Fei shook his head, somewhat dejected.

He couldn't withstand a single punch from the eunuch. This wasn't what truly disheartened him, it was that his dream of going to the frontier had shattered again.

"Not bad." Zhang Liyang walked towards the carriage with his hands behind his back. "But what I said still stands, if you really want to go to the border, I can help you."

"Really"

"A gentleman's word is like a swift horse that cannot be caught."

"But you are an eunuch, not a gentleman!"

Zhang Liyang's mouth twitched violently. He forced down the urge to throw another punch and hurried into the imperial city on horseback.w and despair, the sword that had been tightly clenched in his hand slipped from his grasp."I surrender! I admit defeat!"A roar of anguish erupted from Xue Baosheng's mouth, so loud that even Jia Feng...
