Chapter 279: Confrontation with the three bandit kings, quick counterattack!

Fu Zu didn't pay attention to the rich man's doubts at all. Instead, he asked, "Why not?"

The three people opposite did not expect that Fu Zu would still ask questions when faced with such a question.

"What's wrong with Fu Zu? Don't you know better?"

"Isn't it obvious what is not allowed?"

"The forces behind Da Zhou can accept you, but they cannot accept so many of us who are on the wanted list."

"Unless the force behind Da Zhou is a complete demon sect."

After listening to the three people's doubts, Fu Zu said: "What if the people behind Da Zhou are not the traditional wealthy families you imagined?"

"What if the forces behind Dazhou can really accept you?"

After hearing what Fu Zu said, the expressions of the three people opposite him all froze.

Zhang Chiyang was silent for a moment and then said to Zu: "Even if he can accept us, how can he support us four Martial Kings?"

"You are also King Wu. You should know how much it costs to support us."

This is indeed a real problem.

If these three people join Dazhou, it means that Dazhou needs to support them.

When Fu Zu joined Da Zhou, he did not need Da Zhou's support, because Fu Zu's purpose was not to find a backer.

But Zhang Chiyang, the three of them, obviously cannot be the same as Fu Zu.

The three of them can join Dazhou, but the premise is that joining Dazhou must bring benefits to them.

Fu Zu frowned and pondered for a while. For a moment, he really didn't expect the benefits of impressing three people.

Seeing Fu Zu's silence, Zhang Chiyang immediately said: "Fu Zu clearly explains the people behind Da Zhou, and we will leave directly. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with you and me."

"I still have a furnace of elixirs at home that I need to look at, so don't waste your time."

When he heard about the elixir, Fu Zu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately thought of something that could attract them to join.

"If I tell you that behind Da Zhou, there is an alchemist who can refine the best elixirs that King Wu can use, can you choose to join?"

In fact, Fu Zu was not sure whether Qin Che could refine the elixir that King Wu could use.

After all, the time he had been in contact with Qin Che was still short, even though he knew that Qin Che could refine elixirs.

But Fu Zu really doesn't know how good Qin Che is at refining elixirs.

But everyone Fu Zu met said that Qin Che's level of alchemy was beyond imagination.

Fu Zu is also gambling now.

Zhang Chiyang and the other two people all shrank their eyes after hearing Fu Zu's words.

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhang Chiyang asked in a serious tone.

Before Fu Zu could speak, the rich man interrupted and said, "You must understand that if you deceive us, the nature will be different."

Fu Zu snorted coldly and said, "I don't even bother to use such deceptive methods."

The three gangsters looked at each other, and finally Zhang Chiyang said: "If that alchemy master really exists, this can indeed be a point for us to consider joining."

Before Fu Zu could speak, Zhang Chiyang changed the subject and said, "But we need to meet the person behind Da Zhou first and see if he really has the strength to let us join."

This matter is not something Fu Zu can decide.

"I can ask this for you, but now the three of you need to be sure. If you meet, the three of you will not have second thoughts or regrets."

Zhang Chiyang said: "If the people behind Da Zhou can really defeat us, and if Da Zhou really has that kind of alchemist who can refine King Wu's elixir, we will naturally not regret it."

"Okay." Fu Zu confirmed this.

He asked the three of them to wait here, while he went to find Qin Si first.

Tell Qin Si about this matter.

Talking to Qin Si about this matter does not mean that Qin Si needs to make a decision.

Qin Si couldn't make a decision on such a matter.

He came to Qin Si to take Qin Si to meet Qin Che with him.

If you want to surrender these three Martial Kings, it is only possible for Qin Che to take action.

However, if Fu Zu went to find Qin Che directly, it would be a bit suspicious of overstepping his bounds.

But it's different if Qin Si goes to find it.

This shows that Fu Zu is recruiting experts for Dazhou, rather than replacing them.

After listening to Fu Zu's explanation of the situation of the three gangsters, Qin Si indeed felt nervous and excited.

If these three Martial King-level bandits can really join the Great Zhou.

That Dazhou's martial arts strength must have skyrocketed.

But how to subdue these three bandit kings is also a very difficult task.

Therefore, Fu Zu said that he needed help from Qin Che. Qin Si did not hesitate at all and went directly to Daodao Mountain with Fu Zu.

After the two arrived at Daodao Mountain, Fu Zu told Qin Che exactly what happened.

After Fu Zu finished speaking, Qin Si knelt down and begged Qin Che: "Grandnephew, please help me."

Qin Che glanced at Qin Si and said, "Get up."

When Qin Si heard Qin Che ask him to get up, he knew that it was basically done.

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

After Qin Si got up, Qin Che looked at Fu Zu and said, "You are such a good martial artist and you really do your best."

Qin Si didn't know that his military minister was Fu Zu, so he couldn't hear Qin Che's pun.

Fu Zu cupped his hands and said: "Since I am the military prime minister, I should do my best."

Qin Che didn't say anything to Fu Zu who was completely absorbed in the drama.

Fu Zu did this for the benefit of Da Zhou. Of course, if Da Zhou is good for himself, he will be better off.

If you really let these three bandit kings join, you can save a lot of worry.

Otherwise, if any cat or dog shows up, you will need to show up, which will take up too much of your cultivation time.

It's just that Da Zhou, the bandit king who has always been on the wanted list, gave Qin Che a sense of déjà vu from "Water Margin".

Is the Great Zhou Dynasty going to turn into a water-filled Liangshan Mountain?

Qin Che felt that if Fu Zu continued like this, the Great Zhou Dynasty would really turn into a river in Liangshan.

Fortunately, it is impossible for Da Zhou to be recruited.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fu Zu has already told Qin Che about the strengths of the three bandit kings.

Taken together, the strength of the three bandit kings is completely on par with Fu Zu.

The difference in ranking on the wanted list is entirely due to the difference in time on the list.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Qin Che to face these three people.

It is the same reason to be able to defeat Fu Zu and defeat three of them with one move.

As for what Fu Zu said about refining Martial King-level elixirs.

This is not a problem for Qin Che.

Although Qin Che has never refined a Martial King level elixir.

However, it's not that Qin Che can't refine it, but that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Qin Che didn't have the medicinal materials or elixirs in this area, so naturally he couldn't refine them.

If there were elixirs and elixir recipes, Qin Che really wasn't worried at all that he wouldn't be able to refine elixirs at the King of Martial Arts level.

It's nothing more than an upgrade.

If you want to go faster, just consume potential points.

Qin Che still has a lot of potential points now, especially after entering the martial soul realm of the third level of the Martial King.

The growth of martial soul brings a very considerable increase in lifespan.

What's more, even if it's really not enough, if you really can't catch a monster, just absorb it all.

"Prince Ze, can I go back and explain the situation to the three of them now?" Fu Zu asked Qin Che.

Qin Che nodded: "Go and tell them that the location of the fight will still be in the far north."

"Yes." Fu Zu agreed with his hands raised.

Qin Si was excited and gave Qin Che a great gift.

In Qin Si's opinion, as long as Qin Che takes action, these three bandit kings will definitely join the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Si didn't care whether they were bandit kings or not.

As long as it can be used by Da Zhou and is under Da Zhou's control, that's fine.

What's more, in the eyes of those outside, Da Zhou might also be a bandit.

Moreover, Qin Si is not worried about the backlash of these bandit kings. As long as Qin Che is around, no one will dare to make mistakes.

Fu Zu sent Qin Si back to the palace, and then explained the situation to the three Zhang Chiyang people, and then took the three Zhang Chiyang people to the place where he lost to Qin Che.

Returning to this place again, although Fu Zu was already King Wu, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that Fu Zu was too arrogant at that time and let Qin Che take the first move, but he was defeated in one move.

Zhang Chiyang noticed something strange about Fu Zu and asked Fu Zu, "What's wrong with you?"

Fu Zu said perfunctorily: "It's nothing."

The rich and noble man in gorgeous clothes said, "Could it be that you did something here?"

Fu Zu snorted coldly and said: "This is a martial arts desert. Even if there is a way to deal with King Wu, the martial arts aura here cannot sustain it."

Zhang Chiyang nodded and said: "Yes, it is impossible to arrange methods to deal with King Wu here."

After a pause, Zhang Chiyang thought of something, and asked Fa Zu: "Where is the three-headed demon eagle that was trapped here? You have been here for a while, you should know the whereabouts of the three-headed demon eagle."

Fu Zu shook his head and said: "I don't know the whereabouts of the three-headed demon vulture, but based on what I have learned these days, the three-headed demon vulture should be dead."

In fact, it was not just Fu Zu who thought the Three-Headed Demonic Vulture was dead, but also those outside who thought the Three-Headed Demonic Vulture was dead.

the reason is simple.

Thousands of years have passed, and coupled with the actions of the forces behind the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is only natural that the three-headed demon eagle died.

"Where is the person behind Da Zhou you mentioned?" Mr. Fugui asked impatiently after flying for a while.

Although Fu Zu couldn't feel Qin Che's aura, Fu Zu could guess where Qin Che was.

"It's right in front." Fu Zu said as he flew forward.

Sure enough, the four of them soon saw a man standing in the void with his hands behind his back.

Fu Zu looked at where Qin Che was standing and felt even more unnatural.

Because the place where Qin Che is standing now is the place where he was standing when he defeated him that day.

That is true and there is no deviation at all.

In fact, Qin Che's position was a bit off, and Qin Che didn't have that sense of ceremony.

It's just that in Fu Zu's view, Qin Che is still standing in the same position where he defeated him.

Zhang Chiyang and the others didn't know what Fu Zu was thinking.

After seeing Qin Che, they all felt like they were being teased and insulted.

Qin Che's age is definitely younger than their great-grandchildren.

Although no one stipulates that young people cannot have martial arts masters.

But Qin Che's age is definitely not more than a hundred years old.

For such a young man to stand up, no matter what the reason, it is an insult to the three of them.

Even if Qin Che was waiting for them here and then leading them to meet the real person behind the scenes, it would still be a humiliation.

As they said, when meeting here, people should be here.

Definitely not sending a junior to deal with them.

"Is this Dazhou's sincerity?" Zhang Chiyang asked Fu Zu politely.

Zhang Chiyang was not even willing to say a single word to Qin Che.

In Zhang Chiyang's view, if they killed Qin Che before they came up, they would have given face.

Fu Zu knew that Zhang Chiyang and the others had misunderstood, so he did not explain. Instead, he raised his hands and said to Qin Che: "Prince Ze, these three are the three Martial Kings I told you."

Fu Zu's attitude has explained all the problems.

Zhang Chiyang and the three of them all turned to look at Qin Che, and then looked at Fu Zu in disbelief.

That expression seemed to say: Fu Zu, are you serious? This young man is Da Zhou's trump card?

But judging from Fu Zu's attitude, it didn't look like he was playing tricks on them.

Fu Zu was obviously serious. In their opinion, this young man, who was much younger than their great-grandson, was the person standing behind Da Zhou.

This is a bit too subversive.

It’s not that there are no young strong men, there are also young kings of martial arts.

But isn't Qin Che too young?

"He is King Wu?" Zhang Chiyang still didn't quite believe it.

Fu Zu nodded: "Prince Ze is indeed King Wu, no doubt."

"He defeated you?" Mr. Fugui also didn't believe it.

Fu Zu nodded again and admitted.

"Are you sure you're not joking?" The third King Wu, who looked most like a gangster, also said the same.

Fu Zu still nodded.

Now they were sure that what Fu Zu said was true.

The Qin Che in front of him is the confidence of Da Zhou, and he is the strongest person in Da Zhou.

Such a young King Wu could still defeat Fu Zu.

This is indeed quite scary.

To be able to become the King of Martial Arts at such a young age is enough to show his terrifying talent and future growth potential.

It was not surprising that Fu Zu chose to surrender.

It's just that the three of them are different from Fu Zu.

Although Qin Che is very strong, they still have their demands.

Since Qin Che is the King of Martial Arts, Zhang Chiyang also adopted an equal attitude and asked Qin Che: "Does Great Zhou really have an alchemist who can refine King of Martial Arts elixirs?"

Qin Che nodded: "Yes, but I need you to provide medicinal materials and elixir recipes, and each time the elixir is made, I can only give you one at most."

The price is reasonable, and Zhang Chiyang doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

After confirming this, Zhang Chiyang had no problem.

The other two people had no problem either.

"Which one of you will come first? Or together?" Qin Che went straight to the point.

Zhang Chiyang and the others felt seriously offended when they heard Qin Che's words.

They recognized Qin Che's talent and also recognized Qin Che's strength.

But Qin Che said that he wanted them to come together, which was too humiliating.

Only Fu Zu knew that Qin Che really did not humiliate them.

Qin Che can defeat him with one move, so defeating them with one move is not a problem.

Even in Fu Zu's opinion, even if the three of them went together, they might not be able to get any benefits.

It's just that Zhang Chiyang didn't know Fu Zu's previous results, so the three of them were very angry.

The wealthy young master took the first step and said: "Let me test how much you weigh and how dare you be so arrogant."

Qin Che glanced at the wealthy young man and didn't say much.

How the three of them choose is their own question.

Seeing that Qin Che was silent, the wealthy young master immediately closed the fan in his hand and rushed forward at the first glance.

Since he knew that Qin Che was the King of Wu, the rich and noble son naturally did not dare to be careless.

Attacking is the way to win.

The strongest point of Mr. Fugui lies in his speed and movement.

Even at the level of King Wu, Young Master Fugui is one of the fastest.

If his body skills are added to this, then among the Martial Kings, probably no one can match him in terms of speed. At most, they will be equal to him, and it is impossible to surpass him.

It's all about attacking, coupled with lightning-like speed and movement.

Feng Xue was ripped apart in an instant, so fast that even the snow and wind in the sky couldn't leave behind any trace of him.

At the same time, the fan in his hand unfolded instantly.

Only this time it is not expanded horizontally, but vertically.

The originally ordinary fan turned directly into a sharp spear.

At the same time, all the martial intent was concentrated on the tip of the spear.

The martial intent at the tip of the spear, accompanied by speed, was like a lightning-like poisonous sting, attacking Qin Che first.

If you were facing a master of the same level, just this sharp martial intention would be enough to hurt someone.

But against Qin Che, this martial intent was obviously not enough.

That martial spirit, which was like a sharp thorn, could not even pierce Qin Che's martial spirit.

The soul thorn capable of killing people fell on Qin Che's martial soul, just like scratching an itch. Qin Che couldn't even feel its existence.

The sure-kill soul thorn was like a mud cow entering the sea. The wealthy young master knew that he was in trouble and knew that Qin Che's strength was far superior to his.

At the same time, he also understood that if he attacked forcefully like this, he would probably never return.

The best choice at this time is to retreat quickly and use your physical strength to pull against Qin Che.

Then let Zhang Chiyang and the two of them join the battle group directly.

There might still be a chance of winning in a three versus one situation.

The body paused in space, and then the rich man's body, which was originally moving forward at an extremely fast speed, turned into an extremely fast retreat.

With such an extremely fast two-way activation, if it were replaced by an ordinary Martial King, the body would definitely suffer backlash.

But this is what the wealthy young master is good at, and he can operate it completely as he wishes.

Just when Mr. Fugui felt that his plan was working, he planned to immediately summon Zhang Chiyang and the others to join the battle group.

However, the wealthy young master felt that his eyes flashed, and the next moment Qin Che appeared in front of him.

At this moment, the endless wind and snow between heaven and earth seemed to have stopped instantly.

All of this was caused by Qin Che's extreme speed.

"This...how is this possible!"

The wealthy young master was greatly shocked.

He couldn't figure out how Qin Che could beat him in terms of speed.

Just when he was shocked, Qin Che finally took action.

Seeing Qin Che take action, the wealthy young master instinctively tried to stop him.

But his speed was much slower than Qin Che's.

Before he even raised his hand, Qin Che's finger pointed directly at him.

Qin Che just pointed out gently.

However, at such a relatively high speed, even the power of a light finger was not something that the wealthy young master could resist.

"boom--"

The rich man's body flew out first, and then a violent explosion sounded.

From the origin of Mr. Fugui's flight, an absolute vacuum zone with a radius of several thousand feet appeared.

All the wind and snow there were shattered by Qin Che's finger.

The power of Qin Che's finger was more terrifying than the missile.

The rich man may not seem strong, but in order to pursue the ultimate speed, his body is still extremely tough.

Especially the skin is incredibly tough.

Not to mention steel, even thunder and fire from heaven and earth cannot shake it even half an inch.

However, under Qin Che's finger, porcelain-like cracks appeared all over the rich young master's skin, as if it was about to break at any moment.

Fortunately, Zhang Chiyang took action in time and caught the rich man, and at the same time fed him a pill immediately.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the skin of a wealthy young man cannot be saved.

Of course, Zhang Chiyang is not generous, but at this time, he needs to keep the wealthy young master in order to deal with more situations.

Especially with one more person on their side, their strength is more guaranteed.

The wealthy young master was rescued by Zhang Chiyang and was finally stabilized.

But when he looked at Qin Che again, his eyes were still filled with fear.

He still couldn't figure out how Qin Che could have such speed.

In fact, Qin Che completely saw the speed displayed by the rich master, and was curious for a moment, wanting to see his own speed at this time, combined with the Wind Step.

How extreme can it be achieved?

I didn't expect that after it was used, it could reach such extreme speed.

Moreover, the power of any finger made Qin Che very satisfied.

Seeing the rich and noble young master being defeated by Qin Che with one move, the one who felt the most comfortable was Fu Zu.

They were all defeated by one move, and Fu Zu still let Qin Che strike first.

Regardless of whether he misjudged it or not, Qin Che just made the first move anyway.

In this comparison, it seems that I am more powerful.

After the rich young master was defeated, the remaining two people no longer dared to look down upon Qin Che in the slightest.

"I would also like to learn from you your clever tricks." Zhang Chiyang took a step forward and said.

Qin Che nodded, and then looked at the third person.

But the third person did not move forward.

Just do it one at a time, it's just a waste of time at most.

Zhang Chiyang took a step forward, then made seals with both hands, and the next moment Zhang Chiyang raised his hands.

The snow and wind in the sky instantly turned into one evil dragon after another.

Countless evil dragons were entangled towards Qin Che. At the same time, Qin Che felt that his martial soul was also being attacked.

All kinds of ferocious beasts and evil dragons appeared around the martial soul, as if they wanted to tear the martial soul into pieces.

"interesting."

Zhang Chiyang's attack finally made Qin Che feel a little fresh.

Although this was not the first time Qin Che had seen such a direct attack on a martial spirit, it was the first time that it was so concrete.

At the moment Zhang Chiyang's attack started.

The third man among the three bandit kings, who looked the most like a fierce bandit, turned around and ran away.

He obviously plans to leave here completely.

No one expected such a change.

When Fu Zu wanted to stop him, it was already too late.

Just when the third person felt that he could escape successfully.

But he was horrified to see Qin Che appear in front of him.

"you you!"

The third person looked back with horror on his face and looked back.

As expected, Qin Che is no longer where he was just now.

Zhang Chiyang, on the other hand, was obviously a little exhausted, and he looked a little sluggish.

This means that Qin Che defeated Zhang Chiyang when he started, and then caught up with him.

This strength is really a bit evil.

Qin Che looked at the third person who was about to leave and said, "Where do you want to go?"

The third person took a step back and said, "I plan to leave Dazhou."

"Fu Zu should have told you before that the condition for letting me come out is that after you three see me, you cannot leave unless you defeat me."

"That was promised by Zhang Chiyang, not me, so my leaving is not considered a violation of the agreement. You can't stop me from leaving." The third person said to Qin Che.

Zhang Chiyang didn't expect this person to say that, and immediately said angrily: "The three of us agreed on the fight together. What do you mean?"

"That's your own wishful thinking. I didn't promise you anything." The third person countered.

Qin Che suddenly laughed when he saw the bandit king who was fighting back against Zhang Chiyang: "How did you figure out that I am someone who will definitely let you leave alive just because you didn't make a promise?"

"Besides, does it have anything to do with me whether you accept your agreement or not? Did I promise not to kill you?"

After listening to Qin Che's words, the third person changed his color on the spot and planned to give in the next moment.

It's just that Qin Che didn't give him this chance at all.

Directly punched out.

Rolling thunder poured out instantly.

The thunder, accompanied by infinite fisting intention and strength, directly enveloped the bandit king.

The thunder directly wiped out his physical body, while Qin Che's fist intention and strength wiped out his martial spirit and soul.

For such a person, even if he gives in, he will show his willingness to surrender.

Qin Che wouldn't give him a second chance either.

Such people are simply not worthy of being trusted.

Seeing Qin Che kill a Martial King with a casual punch.

The three bandit kings, Fu Zu, all saw Qin Che's ruthless side.

After Fu Zu joined the Great Zhou Dynasty, he never saw Qin Che kill anyone.

Qin Che spends most of his time practicing.

Therefore, in Fu Zu's impression, Qin Che's kind side completely outweighed his ruthless side.

Although Fu Zu believed that Qin Che must have killed people along the way.

However, Fu Zu has never seen how cold-blooded Qin Che is.

This time Fu Zu finally saw it.

Really, while talking and laughing, he killed a King of Martial Arts.

And Qin Che obviously dislikes betrayal and breaking promises.

For such people, Qin Che doesn't even want to give them a second chance.

Zhang Chiyang and the wealthy young master looked at each other, and both of them directly swore the inner demon oath.

The two of them don't want to lose their own lives if they slow down on this matter. It's simply not worth it.

They have already lost anyway, so they are willing to admit defeat, and there is no harm in joining such a powerful Da Zhou.

After taking away the storage bag from the third person, Qin Che said to Zu: "You three, go and clean up his territory later and bring back all the belongings in his territory."

Qin Che gave Fu Zu and the others their first task.

Fu Zu and the others immediately accepted the order happily.

"Prince Ze, I want to ask..." Zhang Chiyang held back in the end and did not ask the doubts in his heart.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, Zhang Chiyang wanted to ask Qin Che if he had condensed the martial spirit, but Zhang Chiyang felt that asking this was too sensitive, so he did not ask in the end.

The murderer Zhang Chiyang just defeated was so clean and tidy that all the condensed murderers were torn to pieces in just one encounter.

At the same time, Zhang Chiyang's own soul was directly counterattacked.

A ray of light flashed, and Zhang Chiyang felt as if his soul was split into countless pieces in an instant.

When he came to his senses again, Qin Che had already caught up with another person.

However, although he was defeated a little faster, Zhang Chiyang still felt something a little bit.

It's just too much of a model, so I can't be sure.

"What do you want to ask?" Qin Che asked.

Zhang Chiyang said: "I would like to ask Prince Ze if he can introduce the alchemist to me when I come back. I have a furnace of elixirs and hope to get his help."

Qin Che nodded and said, "No problem."

The three of them did not stay here any longer, but said goodbye to Qin Che and went to complete the first task assigned by Qin Che.

When the three of them were on the road, the wealthy young master complained to Fu Zu: "Prince Qin Ze is so powerful, why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Fu Zu asked back: "I told you, can you believe what I say? What's more, I told you, and I was defeated by Prince Ze."

What Fu Zu said was true. Even if Fu Zu had told them before, they would not believe it.

"You were also defeated by Prince Ze with one move?" The wealthy young master continued to ask.

Fu Zu shook his head and said: "I am different from you. I asked Prince Ze to make the first move, and then I was defeated by Prince Ze in one move."

The wealthy young master immediately became furious when he heard Fu Zu's shameless answer: "They were all defeated in one move. What do you have to be proud of? It's different."

Fu Zu continued to answer proudly: "I'm just stating a fact, not being proud."

Just when the rich man was about to fight back, he was stopped by Zhang Chiyang.

"You don't need to argue, we won't be defeated unjustly. If I'm not mistaken, Prince Ze may have already reached the third level of the Martial King and has condensed his martial soul."

Zhang Chiyang's words made the other two people quiet down instantly.

It was already too much for Qin Che to already be King of Martial Arts at such a young age, but now he actually told them that Qin Che was already at the third level of King of Martial Arts.

That would be even more excessive.

If compared like this, the three of them really failed and their lives were really in vain.

"You...are you telling the truth?" Mr. Fugui obviously didn't believe it.
