Chapter 354: Chapter 159: Treating Guests, Beheading, Taking Them as Dogs!_2

East Sea was captured; they lost control of the waters surrounding the island and even if they wanted to break through, they would be intercepted and obstructed by patrolling warships.

Only a very few people could barely break through. Even so, they could not escape the sensing of Daoist Skill master like Xu Qing, who often greeted them with a Flying Sword as soon as they rushed out.

Xu Qing’s main task at the moment was to capture these escaping fish.

Moreover, there were only a few exits on the island, which were easy to guard.

Once someone tried to break through, the Navy naturally had signal arrangements.

In addition, under the command of Meng Yuxuan’s military formation, Infantry Navy would gradually occupy the small town of Dongming Island, step by step.

Meng Yuxuan’s military formations were formidable, the soldiers well-trained. Once they formed their formations, they could manage against pirates skilled in Martial Arts. They would hold on until reinforcements arrived to join them in executing or capturing the pirates.

Eventually, on Dongming Island, only a core group of several dozen people remained, hiding in the Wanyun Tavern, surrounded by the Imperial Navy.

Once Xu Qing saw no one else broke through, he also approached the Wanyun Tavern.

These past few days, everyone was worn out, but victory was almost in sight, not to mention the island and East Sea were abundant in treasures.

With this war spoils to claim, aside from their payout, everyone had a substantial amount of money to acquire.

Under the stimulus of gold and silver, even the greatest fatigue was swept away.

...

...

"Meng Yuxuan, your arrival is timely. I have received news that a ship has come from the sea outside. The leader of the Southern Fujian One-Character Wisdom Sword Sect, wants to invite you onboard to chat," said Meng Yuxuan.

Xu Qing nodded, "What does he want to talk about?"

"Meng Yuxuan believes he might be offering some benefit to get you to release the remaining people on Dongming Island." Meng Yuxuan was straightforward in discussing this with Xu Qing.

This victorious conquest of Dongming Island should attribute great merit to Jieyuan.

Moreover, on the battlefield, those who venture into life and death heroically held in high respect and Xu Qing’s merits exceeded those initial entries.

Xu Qing smiled, "Meng Yuxuan, do you think we should talk?"

Meng Yuxuan continued, "I heard that the One-Character Wisdom Sword Sect often undertakes the guarding business for smugglers at sea. If Jieyuan plans to extend business towards the south, it’s best to strike some deals. I can send people with you, and have warships oversee them, assuming they wouldn’t dare to act rashly."

Xu Qing waved his hand, saying, "If he wants to negotiate, let him come to Wanyun Tavern. I’ll wait for them inside and also, ask them to join us for the Lantern Festival dinner tonight."

Meng Yuxuan expressed his surprise, "Jieyuan, do you plan to enter Wanyun Tavern now? However, there are several formidable individuals inside, and we haven’t subdued them yet."

Actually, Meng Yuxuan wanted to deplete the adversaries’ strength, spirit, and vitality to avoid unnecessary casualties, and he intended to take some captives.

This was specifically ordered by the Grand Secretary.

Because there was an important ledger from the East Sea Gang, which needed to be extracted from these individuals.

Xu Qing responded, "The people inside are not simple. If we attack directly, there might be unnecessary casualties; let me handle this issue."

As soon as he said this, all the soldiers around could hear clearly, and such things could easily spread within the army.

In fact, Xu Jieyuan’s approach had already spared many lives.

It could be said that every low-ranking officer and soldier of the Navy owed Xu Qing a favor.

Now that Xu Qing volunteered to clear up Wanyun Tavern personally, the favor became even greater.

Meng Yuxuan sighed internally, but did not object.

Xu Qing’s actions had implications of winning over the military’s hearts, but the premise was that you must dare to do so.

Such demeanor, how could it not profoundly impress others.

He asked, "Should I send someone with you?"

"No need, more people would only be a burden to me. If I can’t handle it, I can always come out, and you can assist by covering for me," Xu Qing replied with a smile.

Meng Yuxuan couldn’t help but smile as well.

Following that, Xu Qing approached Wanyun Tavern.

The people inside, seeing Xu Qing come alone, opened the door.

"Kid, this isn’t a place for you," a fierce pirate sneered, raising his mace to strike.

However, with a flicker of a blade and a sound of thunder, the blade light shot up like a flash of lightning, striking the mace.

Not only was the mace sent flying, but the fierce pirate’s body was also paralyzed and immobilized by a burst of Strength Force.

And the blade light continued its trajectory.

In the blink of an eye.

The fierce pirate’s severed head rolled down from the doorway, eyes wide open in death.

Then, his robust body fell backward─blood gushing out.

Xu Qing stepped over the headless corpse, looked at the people inside the tavern, and indifferently asked, "Now, does anyone else think I shouldn’t be here?"

"Who are you?" asked a Fusang Samurai, holding a folding fan and speaking in awkward Central Earth official language.

"I think some of you might recognize me."

"He is Xu Gongming from Jiangning," a Swordsman declared.

He tightly gripped his sword hilt but dared not draw it.

Just now, he had already determined that the other party’s martial arts were perhaps not weaker than their sect leader’s.

Beside the swordsman was a young man in splendid brocade clothes, now pale-faced.

And the rest of the samurai, upon hearing this name, were all horrified.

Be it the battle of the Giant Whale Gang or the incident on the East Sea, they were already aware.

This person was the top scorer of South Zhili, and even more so a demon of the sea.

A Japanese leader with a folding fan said, "Our princess will soon return, and by the princess’ side is an immortal master from the Fang Immortal Dao. You people should not be too arrogant."

His words temporarily boosted the morale of the samurai.

Xu Qing ignored their words, looking towards the swordsman and the young man in brocade, asking, "Are you from the Wisdom Sword Sect?"

"Yes, my father is the sect leader," the young man in brocade hastily said, completely ignoring the swordsman’s warning glances.

The swordsman could only sigh deeply.

Why did he bring the young sect leader to Dongming Island for fun!

Xu Qing slightly smiled, no wonder then.

It seemed that the sect leader of the Wisdom Sword Sect had no choice but to visit the Wanyun Restaurant today.

He nearly executed shadow-shifting, arriving in front of the young man in brocade, and slowly said, "Young sect leader, are you enjoying yourself here?"

The young man in brocade vigorously shook his head, "Not at all."

"Rest assured, your father has arrived. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be alright."

"Really?" The young man in brocade widened his eyes, overjoyed.

The swordsman beside, his face ashen.

With the young leader’s identity exposed, the sect leader was completely at the mercy of Xu Gongming.

Haven’t you heard of Jiangning Xu Gongming?

That’s a man-eating tiger.

Meanwhile, the surrounding samurai and pirates subconsciously encircled Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced around at everyone, "Does anyone want to make a move?"

As his words fell, the restaurant immediately quieted down.

Everyone had seen Xu Qing killing that pirate with a single strike.

That kind of oppressive power was no less than the first-rate samurai of Fusang Island.

Such a figure was perhaps on the verge of becoming a true martial artist, founding his own school.

Moreover, the Imperial Navy’s forces were outside.

They were holding out just to survive.

Those who truly had the courage had already broken through.

But in doing so, they would be similar to those who had previously broken out; even if they miraculously made it, they would still be dealt with by Xu Qing’s flying sword.

And after being surrounded, their spirits had been continuously tense.

Now that Xu Qing had come in alone, it actually gave everyone a sigh of relief inside, as if there was also an opportunity to surrender.

Moreover, this man was not an ordinary man; they couldn’t defeat him, and surrendering to such a martial hero was very much in line with the values of Fusang samurai.

With this thought, the world seemed wider.

Xu Qing saw this and slightly smiled.

This smile was particularly sinister.

Because four great Demon Gods appeared.

Vajra King, Yaksha King, Asura King, Rashamon King.

Each with a majestic appearance, surrounding Xu Qing, acting as the Great Protector, suppressing the mortal world, aweing all beings.

And Xu Qing, encircled by the four great Demon Gods.

In the eyes of the samurai, he was undoubtedly the legendary Fifth Demon King.

Some samurai who believed in deities couldn’t help but kneel down.

This was also because Xu Qing, after continuous slaughter, had gradually enlightened his thoughts, his Divine Soul becoming stronger, and thus he was able to control the four great Demon Gods simultaneously.

Even so, the Divine Soul Power was rapidly draining.

But the advantage was, under the majesty of the Demon Gods, the mental defenses of each samurai were shattered, and they even kneeled down to Xu Qing.

Like dogs crawling at the feet of the Demon King.

This was—Heart-breaking Stance!
