Chapter 443 Big Wolf Dog Attacks Martial Emperor Expert? Could It Be Any More Bizarre?
"Director Chen, what are you doing here?" Although Wu Shihao knew that Chen Yao had come to protect Ye Fan, he still braced himself to speak, "I'm here with the Vermilion Bird Military executing a case. It's not appropriate for Director Chen to intervene, is it?"
As Wu Shihao spoke, he quietly gave several commands to the gunners at his feet, "Fire! Fire, what the hell are you dilly-dallying for?"
But at this moment, the gunner in the tank was completely flustered, his hands trembling nonstop, "War King Wu, it's not that I won't fire... my hands, my hands, they won't obey me..."
To fire at Ye Fan was a struggle, but it could still be done!

After all, they had not seen much of Ye Fan's capabilities and thought he was just a greenhorn.
But to fire at Chen Yao, who ruled an era from the shadows, almost all the gunners on site dared not do it. He dashed a thousand miles to Europa, and cut down a sovereign commander amidst an army of ten thousand!
It was an invisible aura of suppression—just Chen Yao standing there, even if he stretched his neck out for them to chop, they wouldn't dare!
"War King Wu, what a coincidence! I'm here with the Town Martial Hall's members also handling a case. Have your men stand down!" Chen Yao was still looking to downplay the major issue and dissolve the minor one.
Even though certain magnates in the Vermilion Bird Domain were involved in the massacre of the Ye Family, it would be best for Ye Fan to deal with these matters privately.
But now that Wu Shihao had reached this point, there was no turning back.
So even if it meant offending the Town Martial Hall, Wu Shihao still clenched his teeth to resist.
"Director Chen, this isn't about handling a case, is it? This looks like you're about to slaughter imperial officers! Director Chen, do you truly no longer consider the Empire in your actions? Are you planning to join hands with the traitor Ye Fan and cause chaos?" Wu Shihao knew he was no match for Chen Yao in any other respect and could only hope to use his identity to deter Chen Yao.
"Today, I will settle this case! Come, follow me to arrest the suspects!"
In reality, Wu Shihao also didn't have the guts to open fire on Chen Yao, but today, he had brought a lot of people. Three thousand well-trained Martial soldiers, their collective combat strength was indeed formidable.
Whoosh!
At Wu Shihao's order, three thousand Martial soldiers advanced in step, ready to confront Ye Fan head-on!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
From the high-altitude zip lines of the hotel, and those on the surrounding buildings, countless Town Martial Hall masters rapidly used Flash to gather by Chen Yao and Ye Fan's side. Instantly there were also thousands of them, facing off against Wu Shihao's men.
"War King Wu, you are mistaken! The Town Martial Hall monitors all officials and protects Great Xia! Killing Great Xia's officials isn't our duty, rather, protecting Great Xia's officials is what the Town Martial Hall should do!" Chen Yao said with a cold smile, "So, Mr. Chen is handling this case not to kill imperial officers, but because War King Wu is in danger. The Town Martial Hall is merely stepping in to help out!"
"Heh, Director Chen, what a joke... I, Wu Shihao, am in and of myself a Martial Emperor powerhouse, with three thousand Martial experts at my command—how could I possibly be in danger? Why would I need Director Chen's protection?" Wu Shihao smirked coldly, clearly understanding in his heart that just like him, Chen Yao was also looking for a pretext to act.
Wu Shihao looked around; there were no signs of Ye Fan and Chen Yao's high-level fighters making a move. What danger could there be to himself?
"Woof! Woof, woof!"
And just then, a dog's barking came from behind the crowd on the side, accompanied by a familiar voice in pursuit, "Hey! Wangcai, don't run... What... what are you doing? You're going to bite Wu Shihao, but he's one of the Four Great War Kings of the Vermilion Bird Domain. You mustn't bite... Quick, protect the War King..."
The crowd turned toward the noise and saw Song Family's head, Songyang, chasing after a large yellow dog, all the while shouting loudly.
Seeing Songyang appear, Ye Fan's pupils couldn't help but widen.
This Songyang, who had been missing during the meal, and not seen when confronting the two Martial Emperors.
And now he appeared just in time when Wu Shihao needed "protection," with a large dog about to attack Wu Shihao.
Although the reason was absurd, Chen Yao gave a devilish smile and said to the masked young man beside him, "Shadow! Go, protect War King Wu... Under my watch, War King Wu must not suffer any mishap... It's all in the name of doing a good deed."
"Yes!"
Shadow's body flashed and he swiftly darted toward Wu Shihao!
"Damn it all!" As Wu Shihao listened to Songyang's words and saw a large wolfhound wagging its tail and charging over, frustration filled him to the brim.
Could you possibly be any more absurd?
A big wolfhound attacking a Martial Emperor powerhouse, and then the Martial Emperor needs protection?
What kind of international joke is this?
"I don't need protection, damn it…" Wu Shihao saw Shadow move in an instant and hurriedly stepped back to dodge.
The truth about Director Chen's Shadow assassins was clear to the outside world; one who could stand against a thousand riders, whose strength was unpredictable and profound!
Although Wu Shihao moved quickly, Shadow was even faster. Before Wu Shihao could react, Shadow's battle saber was already pressed against his lower back, "War King Wu, from this moment forth, I am responsible for your safety!"
"…"
What sort of protection is this?
This is abduction, daylight robbery abduction!
Is there no sense of decency?
Wu Shihao, despite his strength as a Martial Emperor, had no chance to respond under the lockdown of Shadow's overwhelming Qi Force and was carried over to Ye Fan like a chick being picked up.
Two Town Martial Hall powerhouses immediately took custody of Wu Shihao, one on each side!
"All right! Now that War King Wu is safe, you can all return to the camp!" Director Chen spoke again, "Let everyone be clear, our Town Martial Hall is absolutely not targeting the Empire's noble officers but fully protecting their lives!"
"…"
The Three Thousand Military Technique warriors all fell silent, protecting a Martial Emperor from being bitten by a large wolfhound was utterly preposterous!
But now that Wu Shihao had fallen into Director Chen's "protection," as annoyed as they were, they dared not act rashly.
"No retreat! Whoever retreats, I'll kill them!" Having fallen into the hands of Director Chen, Wu Shihao knew his fate today was likely dire, but at this point, with three thousand trained soldiers under his command, mostly from the Legitimate Line, if they fought with all their might, a turnaround might not be impossible.
Moreover, even if they didn't turn the situation around, perishing together would do!
"Everyone, heed my command, we are here by order of the commander of the Vermilion Bird Domain, Hou Tianji, to capture a suspect, no matter what happens, don't be afraid! Immediately, fire at full strength without sparing any cost… Hurry…"
Wu Shihao knew he was bound to die, so he might as well drag everyone down with him!
As long as both he and Ye Fan perished, Prince Jin would remember his loyalty and wouldn't mistreat his brothers and family!
Wu Shihao's three thousand soldiers, brainwashed by him, were actually ready to make their move.
But an elderly man in a grey robe rushed in from outside the crowd, "Presumptuous! When did I ever issue the order to capture Ye Fan? Everything was Wu Shihao's unilateral decision to mobilize the Military Martial forces, a crime tantamount to rebellion... Everyone, lay down your weapons and roll back to the camp now?"
"Those who leave within ten seconds, I can pretend I saw nothing! Those who are still here after ten seconds, kill without mercy!"
The voice of the elderly man in the grey robe was resolute and strong, he was none other than the highest commander of the Vermilion Bird Domain, Hou Tianji…
