Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 67 The Mastermind

Early stage of innate nature!

Gu Qianbei instantly unleashed an astonishing aura.

"Breakthrough in the heat of battle!"

Lu Xiaofeng, who was about to fight his way out to help, hesitated when he saw this scene.

As he used his finger techniques to knock down the guards surrounding him one by one, he secretly sighed, "This Manager Gu is indeed no ordinary person."

In this situation, not only does he challenge masters with innate abilities using his acquired body, but he also breaks through to the innate level in the midst of battle.

"It's been a long time since I've seen someone so crazy yet so calm."

As Lu Xiaofeng thought of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

interesting.

Looking at Luo Ma's side, he was shocked to see Gu Qianbei break through to the Innate Realm, followed by an uncontrollable anger.

"Bastard! How dare you use me as a whetstone! Die!"

Loma's longsword trembled, and astonishing internal energy surged into it, causing blue sword energy to surge, even more terrifying than before.

This attack was still aimed at the Spurs, but its power was three points stronger than before.

Clearly, Loma had poured all his anger into his attack, wanting to kill Gu Qianbei with a single sword strike.

"This guy's angry. What a nuisance."

Gu Qianbei frowned slightly upon seeing this.

"Having just broken through, my cultivation level is still unstable. I can't continue to entangle with him. Let's settle this with one move."

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, golden light surged forth.

Golden Light Curse!

A golden light covered his entire body, then completely merged into his right palm.

"The dragon that soars too high will regret it!"

Using the power of the Golden Light Mantra to unleash the Dragon's Regret, this was Gu Qianbei's strongest attack at this moment.

A golden dragon head phantom condensed in his palm. As Gu Qianbei struck out with his right palm, an invisible palm force erupted, and the dragon head, along with its body, emerged from his palm!

After breaking through to the Innate Realm, Gu Qianbei's internal strength increased greatly. He could only unleash the Dragon Head Palm Force before, but now he could support a Dragon-shaped Palm Force.

The next moment, the golden dragon-shaped palm force slammed straight into the spur that was sweeping towards it!

The Dragon's Regret, enhanced by the Golden Light Mantra, possessed astonishing defensive power, so the broken spur could not directly destroy the palm strike.

With a crack, the golden light shattered, and the broken horse spur and the golden light dissipated at the same time, but the dragon-shaped palm force went straight for Luo Ma.

"Oops!"

Loma was shocked. He hadn't expected that his full-force attack would not only fail to finish off Gu Qianbei, but would also be shattered by the opponent, who even had the power to counterattack with that palm strike.

He tried to dodge, but it was too late.

He tried to resist, but his internal energy was already too late to keep up.

boom!

Lockhart was struck in the chest and sent flying, crashing into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seriously injured!

Those who have experienced the ferocity and power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms know just how exaggerated it is.

With such a direct hit, how could Loma, with his cultivation level, possibly withstand it?

Gu Qianbei took out his wine gourd again, took a swig, and restored his internal energy.

"asshole!"

Luo Ma glared angrily at Gu Qianbei, never expecting that he would lose not to Lu Xiaofeng, but to this nobody Gu Qianbei.

Looking at Lu Xiaofeng again, he had already dealt with almost all of the hundreds of guards.

These guards were either too weak to fight or had already died.

With Lu Xiaofeng's cultivation level, dealing with these people was effortless, except for wasting a little time.

"Well done, Manager Gu. You even defeated Luo Ma."

After Lu Xiaofeng subdued the smiling man for Boss Qian, he flashed to Gu Qianbei's side.

"They can't compare to you; more than a hundred people can't even touch your sleeve."

Gu Qianbei sighed.

I am still far from being a first-rate figure in the martial arts world.

The initial joy of breaking through to the Innate Realm was also dampened.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Lockhart gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran.

"This guy is trying to run away."

Gu Qianbei complained helplessly.

"Chase!"

Lu Xiaofeng quickly used his lightness skill to catch up, with Gu Qianbei following closely behind.

Seeing this, Boss Qian looked around, unsure whether to chase or not.

Fortunately, Hua Manlou finally arrived with his men through the secret passage.

"Why are you the only one here? Where are Lu Xiaofeng and Brother Gu?"

"They went after Lockhart."

"Brother Qian said quickly."

Somewhere in the Blissful Pavilion.

Using his familiarity with the terrain, Luo Ma managed to leave Gu Qianbei and Lu Xiaofeng some distance behind.

Not long after, he opened a secret door and escaped from the Paradise Tower.

"Hmph, you think you can catch me? Dream on!"

Loma looked at the closed mechanism door, smiled smugly, and turned to leave.

Suddenly, he saw a figure blocking his way.

"It's you!"

Loma was both surprised and delighted, but the next moment, the man struck him in the chest with a palm.

"you……"

Loma looked at the man in disbelief, his face full of confusion.

"You are more valuable now that you are dead."

The man sneered, then quietly disappeared into the night.

Only the unwilling Loma breathed his last.

Half an hour later, the mechanism door opened again, and Gu Qianbei and Lu Xiaofeng came out after chasing after them.

Both men were shocked to see Loma's body.

Lu Xiaofeng immediately stepped forward to examine Luo Ma's body and confirmed his identity and condition.

"Dead, killed with a single palm strike. It was just the most basic palm technique, but the killer's internal strength was astonishing; one strike was enough to kill him without any mercy."

Lu Xiaofeng said in a low voice.

"It seems there's a mastermind behind this. Lockhart is just a pawn."

Gu Qianbei frowned.

This scene wasn't in the original story.

"I heard from Hua Manlou that the imperial court attaches great importance to this case and has demanded that it be solved within three days."

Therefore, the Six Doors must find the mastermind within three days and also stop the counterfeit banknotes from circulating.

But at this very moment, Guo Juxia, the chief constable of the Six Doors, had been away from the capital for half a month with his four apprentices, and Jin Jiuling, the deputy chief constable, had also left the capital long ago to investigate a case.

Thus, the case fell into the hands of Feilong Tiema.

Clearly, the person behind the scenes was already aware of the Six Doors' personnel movements, which is why they chose this particular time to act.

"It seems you share the same thought as Brother Zhang, that you both believe powerful figures are involved behind this."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded slightly.

"For a constable from the Six Doors to solve such a major case is simply a pipe dream."

Putting everything else aside, this Paradise Tower, hidden in the mountains and filled with countless traps, could Lockhart possibly have built it?

Gu Qianbei seemed to be deep in thought, already pondering who might be behind this.

There are countless powerful and influential people in the capital, and choosing one from among them is no easy task.

The Eastern Depot, the Dragon Guard Manor, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Six Doors, the Six Ministries, and even the imperial family are all possibilities.

After all, the potential profits are enormous; even the national treasury might not have that much silver.

"Forget it, we shouldn't be thinking about what happens next."

Having found the Paradise Tower, Yue Qing, and captured Boss Qian and Luo Ma, it was enough to save Zhu Ting.

The rest is going to be a headache for the Six Doors.

Guo Juxia and Jin Jiuling should be returning to the capital soon.

At this point, Lu Xiaofeng reverted to his usual carefree and irreverent demeanor.

In the distance, countless torches appeared among the mountains; Zhang Jinjiu had arrived with the men of the Six Doors.
