Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 573 - 577: Prince Yu Strikes Back, Death Warriors Attack

"So, are you planning to tell me that you failed? And then make me a joke once again?"

Looking coldly at the guests who had just returned, Prince Yu showed no concern for their casualties, but instead, his eyes revealed a chilling coldness.

"Calm your anger, my lord. This plan was arranged by me, I underestimated Wang Junze... I take full responsibility, it has nothing to do with the others. Please punish me alone."

Bowing deeply, the middle-aged strategist showed a look of shame as he answered in a deep voice.

"Punish you?"

With eyes full of murderous intent, Prince Yu kicked the strategist hard, knocking him to the ground, and then kicked him several more times before angrily shouting, "What are you? Even if I killed you, would that get my dignity back?"

"Get out, all of you get out!"

Faced with the furious Prince Yu, the others dared not speak for the strategist and quickly slipped away, leaving no one behind.

Once everyone had retreated, Prince Yu finally showed a hint of sarcasm on his face and sat back in his chair with elegance, as if the previous irritable and unreasonable Prince Yu was another person altogether.

"Lan Ruohai, did you see that? These people are just a rabble, lacking ability and having such poor character... They look down on the Cyan Robe Gang, but in my opinion, they are even worse than those low-class in the Cyan Robe Gang."

With a bitter smile, the middle-aged strategist got up from the ground, bowed to Prince Yu, and then sighed, "Your Highness is correct; these people are indeed rabble, with no loyalty to speak of. They are like dogs drawn by the scent of bones, but... dogs also have their value."

"Your Highness, remember, I suggested you impose no restrictions and widely recruit guests to cover our true strength."

Hearing this, Prince Yu's expression finally eased a bit, and he asked in a deep voice, "Now, can you ensure Wang Junze's death?"

"Of course!"

Nodding slightly, Lan Ruohai confidently replied, "I don't deny that Wang Junze has some cleverness, but that's all it is. Today's probe allowed us to understand the strength of the experts around him, including his own cultivation... More importantly, this ambush further lowered his guard."

"Everyone thinks that after our failure, we are now on the defensive, waiting for him to attack... But in fact, right now is the best time to counterattack!"

"Your Highness, I guarantee he won't survive tonight!"

...

"Tonight!"

In the Fan Building, Jing Yuan said decisively, "Prince Yu will definitely counterattack tonight. We just won a battle today, and our vigilance is at its lowest. And once tomorrow comes, and the news of this battle spreads, Prince Yu will become a joke in the Capital City."

"No matter how well he hides, as long as he is still interested in that position, he will care about his reputation."

Jing Yuan continued to explain, "And the best way to turn the tide is to take this night to kill you directly. Your head is Prince Yu's best counterattack."

"So... tonight, he will definitely mobilize all his top fighters, at any cost, to kill you!"

"Brother Wang, you have to be prepared, the danger of this battle tonight will be no less than our previous intervention on the day of your grand wedding."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Wang Junze smiled confidently, "If unprepared, it would naturally be dangerous, but now that Brother Jing Yuan has anticipated their reaction, if I still can't handle it... it would mean I'm overestimating myself, and deservedly so if I die!"

"It's good that you have confidence."

Jing Yuan nodded with a light smile, "And I must remind you, today we must win this battle, but it also needs to be a costly victory, so... you cannot exert full strength, revealing your true abilities. But, at the same time, you cannot appear too weak, you must find the balance yourself."

"Do not hold illusions, even if we silence witnesses, this battle will surely be noticed, so... even if wounded, you must endure!"

"Winning this battle is not the goal; preparing for the future plan to kill Prince Yu is the key."

Slightly nodding, Wang Junze replied in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Time flew by, and it was already approaching the third hour.

Wang Junze had already left the Fan Building and returned to the inn. Previously, to conceal his strength, Wang Junze had not stayed at the same inn as others, but today's battle revealed the identities of the others, so he no longer needed to hide. He directly rented an entire inn, allowing everyone to live together for mutual safety.

By this time, most had already gone to bed.

Under the cover of night, dozens of figures quietly infiltrated the inn, as if they had already identified Wang Junze's room. Without any forewarning, everyone simultaneously launched an attack on the room where Wang Junze was!

"Who?!"

As if suddenly awakened from sleep, Wang Junze, not even properly dressed and only in his underwear, swiftly flew out of the room.

"Kill!"

No one answered Wang Junze's questioning, they merely launched another swift attack towards him.

Unlike the ambush outside the Fan Building, these attackers were all dressed in black. Their cultivation levels were not very high; most were merely Void Shattering level, with only seven or eight at Divine Travel, and three at Entering the Path. Judging by the realm alone, they seemed even weaker than before, but in reality, their strength was worlds apart.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that even these Void Shattering individuals were displaying a strength more terrifying than those Divine Travel ones from earlier in the evening.

Moreover, with just a glance, Wang Junze recognized a familiar aura from them.

Death warriors!

Previously, Wang Junze had killed a Demon Cultivator on Vermilion Bird Avenue, who was exactly a death warrior under Prince Yu, striking ruthlessly without care for his own life.

And now, the aura radiating from these black-clad attackers clearly resembled that of the death warriors!

It's undeniable that these men were the truly hidden forces of Prince Yu, posing a much greater threat than that Honor King's Guest.

Fortunately, in a moment's time, the others had also reacted, flying out of their rooms to face the black-clad attackers.

Buzz!

The moonlit blade pierced the night sky as Luo Qingxuan arrived almost instantly, intercepting two Path-Entering Powerhouses directly.

"Be careful, everyone protect the young master!"

Not far away, Peng Ru showed a look of anxiety and shouted urgently.

In fact, there was no need for Peng Ru's reminder, as everyone rapidly gathered toward Wang Junze's position without any signal, and the battle thus erupted completely at that moment.
