The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Duan Tianyang was still filled with resentment. He pulled out his dagger and stabbed Zhang Gu in the chest more than ten times.

At this moment, Zhang Gu's eyes were as big as copper bells, his chest was almost pierced like a sieve, and his breath had long been cut off.

Everyone who witnessed this turned pale and screamed in fear.

Li Bei also stood up suddenly, quickly drew out the sword from his ribs, pointed it directly at Duan Tianyang, and scolded him sternly: "Duan Tianyang, how dare you commit such a rampant crime in front of so many people, you... you are so brave..."

Before he could finish his words, an angry shout suddenly came from outside the lobby: "How dare you!" Along with the voice, a black shadow rushed in quickly.

The moment the black shadow passed by Li Bei, a flash of cold light appeared.

Li Bei was still standing there, but the head on his shoulders was gone.

Immediately afterwards, there was a dull thud and blood gushed out from his headless neck.

It was Qiu Tieyi who chopped off Li Bei's head with a knife. He turned around, with a ferocious look on his face, and kicked Li Bei's headless body out of the lobby.

He held Li Bei's head in one hand, glanced at everyone present with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "Anyone who dares to disrespect Brother Tian will be killed without mercy!"

In the huge hall of the City Lord's Mansion, it was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be clearly heard.

The mayor and the chief of the city guards of Baishuo City both met with disaster in the blink of an eye. This scene made everyone present feel as if they were being dragged into the depths of an ice cellar by cold hands, and the chill was overwhelming.

Cold sweat silently slid down everyone's forehead...

Everyone knew that tonight's gathering was not a matter of discussion, but a Hongmen Banquet carefully planned by Duan Tianyang.

Just when people were still recovering from their shock, a group of aggressive Yunzhong soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside the lobby. There were dozens of them.

Their eyes were glaring, they held shining steel knives in their hands, their faces full of ferocity, like a group of hungry wolves, ready to pounce at any time.

Duan Tianyang looked around, casting his gaze on everyone present, and his tone was unexpectedly gentle: "My Lords, now you can speak freely. Regarding the selection of the Lord and the Chief of the City Guard of Biqiu City, who do you think would be more suitable?"

The blood-stained bodies of Li Bei and Zhang Gu hung over everyone's heads like sharp blades, making everyone present silent.

They all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

At this time, Qiu Tieyi turned his head slightly, smiled sarcastically, and suddenly grabbed the hair of Qingcheng City Lord Hu Yiming, and asked in a provocative tone: "Brother Tian is asking you questions, are you all deaf?"

Hu Yiming screamed in pain when he was pulled. His legs suddenly became weak, his face turned pale as paper, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He immediately saluted and begged for mercy, saying, "Master Duan is wise and powerful. Master Duan will make the final decision. We will follow Master Duan's lead!"

Hearing this, Qiu Tieyi raised his lips slightly, let go of Hu Yiming's hair, then turned his gaze to the others and asked, "What about you? Are you dumb or deaf?"

At this moment, Wang Gao, the chief of the Ningcheng City Guard, stepped forward, a trace of doubt and dissatisfaction between his brows. He said, "Master Duan, what exactly is your intention? Are you trying to force us to elect you as the Lord of Bhikkhu City?"

Before he finished speaking, a sinister voice suddenly sounded from behind Wang Gao: "Hey, you are so smart!"

Wang Gao was startled and looked back quickly, only to see Qiu Tieyi standing behind him quietly without him noticing.

He only saw Qiu Tieyi's figure flash by, and then he felt a piercing pain coming from behind - Qiu Tieyi's knife had been deeply inserted into his back.

Qiu Tieyi raised his leg and kicked hard, kicking the corpse hanging on the handle of the knife far away.

He swung his knife to wipe away the remaining bloodstains on the blade, then laughed loudly, his voice full of arrogance: "Everyone listen carefully, if anyone dares to speak rudely to Brother Tian again, this will be your end!" He raised the knife in his hand and pointed at Wang Gao's body on the ground.

Upon seeing this, everyone's bodies trembled in unison, as if their strength had been drained away by an invisible force, and they all collapsed in their chairs.

Duan Tianyang walked back to his seat leisurely, picked up the teacup, sipped the fragrant tea, then waved to Qiu Tieyi and said, "Tieyi, you should control your hot temper. Even if Lord Wang was at fault first, you shouldn't act so impulsively."

Qiu Tieyi chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Brother Tian, ​​when I see those greedy and cowardly officials who dare to speak rudely to you, I can't help but want to teach them a lesson. This time I was a little heavy-handed and killed two of them."

Although his words were spoken lightly, they caused the faces of everyone present to change suddenly, and they could hardly conceal their fear.

Zhang Cai, who had been staying out of the matter, saw that the other city lords and city guards were all frightened and silent, so he cleared his throat, stood up calmly, and said to everyone, "Lord Duan defeated the rebels and made outstanding contributions. He saved the people of Biqiu City from dire straits. In my opinion, the position of the city lord and city guard of Biqiu City should be taken over by Lord Duan, and he deserves it."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him woke up as if from a dream. They stood up one after another, bowed to Duan Tianyang in unison, and said in unison: "Bhikkhu City should be taken over by Lord Duan."

However, after hearing this, Duan Tianyang waved his hands and responded, "I am still young and inexperienced, how dare I take on this important task? You gentlemen are too kind to me."

Hu Yiming shook his head firmly and said solemnly, "Master Duan is young and promising, with outstanding talents. If someone else were to take over as the Lord of Biqiu City and the Chief of the City Guard, no matter who it was, I would not be convinced. But if Master Duan takes over, I will be completely convinced."

In a life-and-death situation, who would pursue fame and fortune?

The city lord and two city guards have already died here, and Duan Tianyang's ambition and determination towards Biqiu City are obvious.

Anyone who dares to be his enemy need only look at the fate of Zhang Gu, Li Bei and Wang Gao to know for themselves.

As soon as Hu Yiming finished speaking, everyone bowed and said in unison: "Master Duan, please don't refuse anymore. Apart from you, who else can be qualified for the positions of City Lord and City Guard Chief?"

Duan Tianyang was secretly delighted. He shook his hair lightly and said calmly, "I can still consider the position of City Guard Chief, but I absolutely cannot take on the position of City Lord. After all, how can I be both City Lord and City Guard Chief?"

After that, he turned his gaze to Zhang Cai and called out with a smile, "Master Zhang!"

Zhang Cai heard this and immediately responded with a folded hand: "I am here!"

Duan Tianyang smiled and said, "In my opinion, with your talent and strength, you are the best choice to take over the position of the Lord of Biqiu City. You have guarded Xiguan City for many years, making Xiguan City peaceful for many years. This achievement is extraordinary. I wonder what Master Zhang thinks of my proposal?"
