I fear that after Ning Yuanzhou successfully kidnaps the Marquis of Jining, his concubines and guards will vent their anger on us. (Good King Zhao)
The Rokudo-do samurai who had thought this through were all filled with despair and had almost no hope of surviving!
There's nothing I can do! It's only today that I've truly seen Ning Yuanzhou's true character!
However, things still took a turn for the worse! To everyone's astonishment, Ning Yuanzhou's right hand, which was shaped like an eagle's claw, was easily and firmly grasped by Wei Tingyu's left hand, and he was thus forcibly controlled in mid-air, unable to move forward an inch!
Before his opponent could change his move, Wei Tingyu stretched out his right hand and slapped Ning Yuanzhou hard on the forehead.
As a surge of violent internal energy erupted from Wei Tingyu's right palm, Ning Yuanzhou's skull was instantly shattered! A cloud of blood mist was also quickly dispersed by the gust of wind created by the released internal energy!
There wasn't even a trace of blood in the air!
With a muffled thud, Ning Yuanzhou's body collapsed to the ground, his skull above the forehead completely shattered, and even his brain was nowhere to be found!
Looking at his face, it was a bloody mess. After his eyeballs burst, a large amount of blood flowed out along with his nostrils, ears, and mouth.
But an expression of disbelief still lingered on his facial muscles! This was probably his last thought in life!
"Ugh! Disgusting!" Wei Tingyu frowned. Fortunately, his internal energy was violent enough to blow away the guy's blood and brain matter. Otherwise, he would definitely have ended up covered in sticky human tissue.
He had seen in TV dramas that powerful martial arts masters used this move to smash the enemy's skull, which was incredibly cool! He finally couldn't resist trying it himself!
Who knew the whole scene would be so bloody? It seems that TV dramas really are all lies; they dare not present such bloody scenes!
I've been scammed! I'll never do that again!
Wei Tingyu pursed his lips, and then clapped his hands lightly twice, as if to psychologically get rid of the dirty thing in his hands!

Chapter 173 Subduing the Six Paths Hall! Ren Ruyi can also act cute?!
Then he realized with a start that the entire courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
When he looked up again, he saw a variety of faces!
Although everyone's expression was different, the only thing they had in common was that their eyes were filled with shock and even admiration as they looked at him!
First of all, there's Ren Ruyi, that little girl. When she glared at Wei Tingyu, her eyes were full of incomprehension.
He naturally knew that Wei Tingyu's martial arts were far superior to his own, but this was the first time he had truly witnessed the effect of internal force being released in actual combat!
You have to understand that she had just fought Ning Yuanzhou for quite a while before gradually gaining the upper hand. She exchanged blows several times, but she was still unable to cause him any significant damage.
However, Wei Tingyu simply raised his hand and struck Ning Yuanzhou with a single palm strike, killing him instantly!
The whirlwind created by the release of that violent internal force even made Ren Ruyi's flowing long hair a little disheveled!
No wonder Ning Yuanzhou couldn't withstand that palm strike; if it were me, I would have suffered the same fate!
At this moment, Ren Ruyi recalled the scene when she and Linglong tried to kidnap Wei Tingyu in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion.
It was obvious that Wei Tingyu had already shown great mercy at that time; otherwise, he could have taken the lives of himself and the Linglong sisters with a flick of his finger!
But this guy just didn't show it before, even keeping it a secret from her, who had become his woman.
Hmph! Shocked, Ren Ruyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wei Tingyu to express her displeasure.
Of course, in the blink of an eye, this little girl was already thinking about how to get Wei Tingyu to teach her the technique of projecting internal energy.
If I had known this move before, those punches and kicks I landed on Ning Yuanzhou would have made him suffer terribly. Even if they didn't kill him instantly, they would have at least seriously injured him.
If that were the case, the outcome of this battle would have been decided long ago, so why bother fighting so hard for so long?
Wei Tingyu could tell from the expression on Ren Ruyi's face and the look in her eyes that this girl had just grasped the true essence of martial arts in an instant.
Indeed, no matter how well a martial artist masters external skills, they will always be no match for a master of internal martial arts with profound internal strength.
If you exchange a punch or a palm strike with someone, they can shatter your meridians with their internal force. What's the point of fighting back then?
As for Genroku and the other Rokudo-do warriors, they were all dumbfounded, and they no longer even had the thought of escaping.
In their eyes, Wei Tingyu is now like the King of Hell, completely controlling their own life and death!
"Both the former and current leaders of the Six Paths Hall have met violent ends!" Yuan Lu, the young man, was very alert. His eyes darted around and he quickly clasped his hands and knelt down in front of Wei Tingyu.
"Please, Lord Marquis, take over the position of Master of the Six Paths Hall!" He kowtowed three times to Wei Tingyu, not even bothering to wipe the blood seeping from his forehead, and then spoke again.
As soon as Yuanlu finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Wei Tingyu. Even Ren Ruyi looked on with curiosity.
She could understand Yuanlu's actions. After all, they had witnessed Wei Tingyu kill Ning Yuanzhou with a single blow, and it was impossible for them to pretend that nothing had happened.
Genroku and the Rokudo-do warriors either become Wei Tingyu's own people, or they can only become completely dead like Ning Yuanzhou and Zhao Ji!
"You want me to take over as the master of the Six Paths Hall?" Wei Tingyu smiled faintly and looked at Yuan Lu, asking, "Will you be loyal to me?"
Wei Tingzhong had always looked down on Ning Yuanzhou for using threats to force people to submit to him, so he naturally wouldn't make the same mistake.
Ning Yuanzhou has only just died, his body is not even cold yet, and these Six Paths Hall warriors, including Yuanlu, immediately turned against him and knelt down to their enemy. Isn't this the best proof?
Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, all the Six Paths Hall warriors involuntarily shuddered!
"Your Excellency is wise!" However, Yuanlu was indeed very clever. His eyes darted around and he immediately clasped his hands and said, "This matter was not coerced by Your Excellency, but rather we voluntarily obeyed Your Excellency's orders!"
"Since Zhao Ji took over the Six Paths Hall, he has long incurred the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, who have long been dissatisfied with him!"
“Ning Yuanzhou had previously deceived everyone, even the old hall master was fooled by his disguise.”
"Now that we have seen Ning Yuanzhou's true colors, how could we be willing to continue serving him?"
"On the contrary, the Marquis killed Ning Yuanzhou with a single blow before the spirit of the old hall master! This is the will of Heaven, and even more so the protection of the old hall master's spirit in heaven!"
"Now that we see the Marquis's righteousness, he is indeed the best candidate for the Six Paths Hall Master that the old hall master has been longing for!"
"If we serve Lord Marquis as our master, we will have fulfilled the old master's last wish!"
"I'm sure the old master, if he were alive today, would thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Genroku rattled off a long string of reasons, but they did sound somewhat reasonable.
At least the eyes of those Rokudo-do samurai brightened a bit after hearing his words.
For these people, they are loyal to whoever is the head of the hall! When Ning Yuanzhou's master, the original head of the hall, was alive, his heart was set on making the Six Paths Hall great and protecting the peace of the people in the area!
Wei Tingyu's current strength far surpasses that of Zhao Ji or Ning Yuanzhou! Under his rule, the Six Paths Hall will undoubtedly see even greater development!
Therefore, it's not entirely unfounded of Yuanlu that the old master in heaven would be grateful to Wei Tingyu.
"We are willing to follow Commandant Yuan! We will acknowledge Lord Marquis as the master of the Six Paths Hall!"
Now that things had come to this point, these Six Paths Hall warriors weren't fools, and they all stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed to Wei Tingyu.
"Do you know that I am not a citizen of Wu Kingdom!" Wei Tingyu narrowed his eyes, glanced around at the Six Paths Hall warriors kneeling and kowtowing to him, and said, "If one day I clash with Wu Kingdom, what will you do then?"
This question struck at the heart of the matter, and all the Rokudo-do warriors fell silent upon hearing it.
"The world has been in turmoil for decades!" Yet, at this moment, the young man Yuanlu did not hesitate at all and said directly, "The Central Plains! Dawu! Da'an... all belong to China!"
"From this day forward, the purpose of the Six Paths Hall will no longer be to defend the Great Wu Kingdom, but to serve all living beings under heaven!"
"If Lord Marquis can truly sweep away this chaotic world and bring peace to the people, that is what the old master most hopes to see!"
Genroku's vision broadened instantly, and he looked directly at the entire world from this corner of Dawu!
Even Ren Ruyi's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that this young man had a bright future! It would be a real pity if he were to die here tonight!
Moreover, after Wei Tingyu had just displayed his superb martial arts skills, Ren Ruyi had gained a new understanding of his ambition.
With such skill, the Golden Shadow Guards around him are all highly skilled in martial arts! The Marquis also married so many wives and concubines who are good at business, accumulating an almost inexhaustible fortune!
If he manages to seize an opportunity in the future, who knows...
Ren Ruyi's eyes lit up at the thought, and she felt her blood boiling.
She had previously worried that the lives of ordinary people on the road would be destroyed by the war, but if there really was someone who could emerge out of nowhere to sweep away the chaos of this divided world and bring peace to all the people, then she would naturally be willing to do her best to help.
And the only person who could do it was none other than her own husband! Ren Ruyi was filled with gratitude for the favor of fate!
It really makes a difference when you follow the right person!
"That's a nice way to put it!" Wei Tingyu chuckled, then his gaze swept over the Six Paths Hall warriors kneeling neatly in front of him, and no one dared to meet his eyes.
Although they dared not have any other wicked thoughts at this moment, the sharp gaze of the Marquis of Jining still made them feel a chill.
"But people's hearts are unpredictable!" Wei Tingyu certainly wouldn't let them off the hook just because of Yuan Lu's words, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"My Lord!" At this moment, Ren Ruyi walked over gracefully and gently patted Wei Tingyu's chest with her jade-like hand, as if to comfort him, whose emotions might erupt at any moment.
Then, her beautiful eyes swept over the kneeling people in front of her before she smiled and said, "If Your Excellency has ambitions to conquer the world, then you will certainly need an organization like the Six Paths Hall to serve you!"
"I think they are trustworthy! Why don't you give them a few tasks to test their loyalty, and then make a decision?"
After Ren Ruyi finished speaking, the Six Paths Hall warriors, including Genroku, looked at her with eyes full of gratitude.
At the same time, everyone realized a fact: Ren Ruyi was a very important woman in Wei Tingyu's heart!
This is someone I absolutely cannot afford to offend in the future!
"Okay!" Wei Tingyu nodded immediately after hearing Ren Ruyi's words, after all, he still needed to give this little girl face.
Moreover, what she said made a lot of sense. It was impossible for him to conquer the world by relying solely on the Golden Shadow Guards and the army to fight and kill. Intelligence work was of paramount importance!
As a well-established intelligence and surveillance organization, the Six Paths Hall has extensive experience in intelligence gathering and counterintelligence.
The Rokudo-do samurai before us are all skilled in martial arts, and when it comes to intelligence work, they are all veterans.
