The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 62

These three people were all trained warriors who were willing to die for their mission from the Soaring Dragon palace. They, normally, were not at all afraid of dying – but there was a sense of terror in Jiang Chen's smile that made their entire body shiver, yet not from the cold.    

“Jiang Chen, why ask if you know everything? Face us honestly!”    

“Kill us!”    

“You want to die? It's not that easy. Tell me, how many are in your operation this time, and who is in charge?” Jiang Chen was convinced that all of this had to do with the duke of Soaring Dragon.    

Except, the most important thing was how many people were sent by the Duke of Soaring Dragon.    

“Again, you won't be able to escape, so what's wrong with telling you? The one who led the operation to kill you this time was a true qi master. Jiang Chen, even though you got rid of us, you are destined to die!”    

“Tuan qi true?” Jiang Chen did not think that he would occupy such a huge burden in the heart of the duke of Soaring Dragon that he sent a true qi master!    

But, the more the duke of Soaring Dragon was thus, the more it aroused Jiang Chen's self-esteem.    

“So what if he is a true qi master?”    

As powerful as a true qi master, it did not mean that he, Jiang Chen, had no advantage at all. “God”'s eyes and the other two abilities he possessed, gave him many advantages that a true qi master could not be proud of.    

Not to mention that many of the various preparations he had done before had not even been done yet.    

When these preparations and personal gains were combined, Jiang Chen was confident that he could also contend with a true qi master. If he hired them well, it was not impossible for him to kill a true qi master!    

After coaxing the information, Jiang Chen naturally did not let the three of them live. After executing them one by one, he chose a death warrior who was as vague as him.    

Jiang Chen started to disguise himself at the scene. His disguise power was not mere nonsense.    

Very quickly, Jiang Chen made himself like this person by shaking his body. He then easily picked up the black-colored clothes and the face mask of the person.    

After completing his grand transformation, an idea appeared in Jiang Chen's heart. He disposed of the four bodies and cleared the area, continuing his journey.    

“This is not the only ambush, but I don't know if a true qi master will be waiting for me in front.. I have to catch him subconsciously, if I want to face a true qi master.”    

However, if it was his intentional intention to go against someone else's unplanned plan, and he was able to shock others, he was able to, then he will have sixty to seventy percent certainty that this will work.    

After all, the technique of “Moon”'s Flying Dagger, accompanied by nine unexpected Plated Feather Throwing Daggers, was most proficient in shocking opponents, and excelled by catching someone unconscious.    

After walking roughly fifteen to twenty-five kilometers, he was getting closer to the capital.    

The official path would start after passing this mountain, and if the others wanted to start something, they would have to think twice before taking him to the official path.    

Therefore, this final hurdle would definitely appear before he circled this mountain ridge.    

It was true, as he approached within a thousand meters of the mountain ridge, Jiang Chen's “Boulder’s Heart” detected a slight opposite sensation.    

This kind of pressure is hidden quite well, almost undetectable.    

If Jiang Chen had not practiced in "Boulder's Heart", he would have never discovered this with just the instincts of a martial practitioner alone. Even a true qi master would be hard pressed to notice, let alone just seven meridians true qi.    

However, “Boulder's Heart” ability trained one's mental strength, making Jiang Chen's instincts become extremely sensitive and much stronger than many true qi masters.    

“Forget it, if it's a face-to-face conflict, I'm open, while the others are closed. There is no chance of winning. I can only take risks and bet. I only hope that the other party only sends one true qi master. If there are two true qi masters, then I can only escape and escape to the depths of the mountain.”    

Jiang Chen had set a plan, and did not procrastinate, running towards the front.    

When he reached about three hundred meters from the ambush location, several figures appeared with whizzing sounds from the shadows, stopping his path.    

“Ge Old, number five, why are you alone?”    

The one who spoke had a piercing tone like the tip of a knife. His eyes looked sharp that could pierce through metal and stone as it swept over Jiang Chen's body.    

“My master, I have intelligence about Jiang Chen's.”    

“What intelligence?” The leader was the duke of the confidant Soaring Dragon, Long San, and the main organizer of the operation to kill Jiang Chen.    

“We have found something in this trip.” Jiang Chen respectfully handed with both hands a package he had long prepared.    

The leader was obviously very careful as he opened the pack with a flick of his long sword.    

At this moment, Jiang Chen's body suddenly moved and his hands trembled, a stream of true qi throwing the package straight at its leader.    

At the same time, his left hand moved with a strong and continuous movement.    

Wusssssssssssssssssssssss!    

The dagger of the Plated Fur Thrower turned into five beams of cold light and shot towards the five beams at the side.    

With the properties of the Plated Feather Thrower Dagger and the mystery of “Lun” Destroyer's Flying Dagger, attacking within such a close distance adds wings to the dagger-throwing tiger.    

Other than one person who was a little further away and instinctively flinched when he saw a flash of cold light, the other four people did not react at all.    

The moment they felt a cold wind on their necks, their throats had already been pierced.    

The one who avoided this calamity had not been able to avoid it all. The Leather Fur Throwing Dagger was shot into his left shoulder.    

Of course, Jiang Chen had only accidentally attacked these five people.    

The main target is still locked on the body of the leader. As soon as the package opened, he used actual qi to move the flow of smoke within it to spread out over a span of a few moments.    

He then looked at his five subordinates. Four people have fallen, and one person has been injured.    

“You... You are Jiang Chen!” Long San roared lowly, his eyes like the eyes of a ferocious beast that emitted a powerful killing intent.    

“You guessed correctly.” Jiang Chen stared faintly at Long San. “I saw you at the palace of Soaring Dragon.”    

"Huh. Continues. Your Jiang Family put yourself up against the duke of Soaring Dragon. That means destruction befalling yourself.” Long San did not hide his identity in the slightest.    

“Dropping destruction on myself?” Jiang Chen laughed in a disdainful tone. “Do you think you, someone who is going to die, have the right to say such a thing to me?”    

"What do you mean?" Long San's gaze became nervous.    

“You must have thought that you avoided toxic fumes because you covered your nose.”    

The edge of Jiang Chen's lips moved slightly as it showed a hint of ridicule. “However, my poison is pervasive. You close your nose, but do you close your ears?    

Even if you can cover your ears, can you cover every one of your pores?    

Unless you have prepared yourself well in advance, and set up a true qi defense inside your body, defend yourself when the poison strikes and use true Qi to force it out.”    

Jiang Chen's tone was timid and distant. Whether it was a true qi master or an ordinary practitioner, anyone who allowed Jiang Chen to be within ten meters of him was equivalent to giving up half their life in Jiang Chen's hands.    

The disciples of Long San contracted swiftly as they shot out the violent and brutal beast light.    

But Jiang Chen was in no hurry to get to him. Instead, he stayed a hundred meters away from Long San, walking around in circles.    

Of Long San's five subordinates now, four were killed and one was injured. A strange poison had attacked Long San's body. Jiang Chen would naturally not attack rashly.    

He has plenty of time to waste.    

However, Long San had no time to waste. The more time wasted, the more poison seeped throughout his body.    

He was constantly looking for various antidotes from himself, but everything was useless.    

“Zhang Qi, are you a death fighter under my command, Long San, or not? Did you lose the will to fight after your shoulder was injured?” Long San knew that continuing to waste time like this was not a thing to do.    

His only point of dependence now was on the underlying wound. A shoulder injury is not a fatal injury.    

That Zhang Qi continued to spin not too far away and not too close.    

When he heard Long San's reprimand, he roared lowly, “Master San, I will return to pass on this information and bring reinforcements to avenge you!”    

When he finished, this Zhang Qi actually jumped off his feet and leaped towards the depths of the trees and bushes, making a clean escape.    

Jiang Chen laughed softly, “Why don't you stay.”    

Two Plated Feather Throwing Daggers, one on the left and one on the right, closed Zhang Qi's exit.    

Pfft!    

Moonshatter Flying Daggers can scatter the sun, moon, and stars.    

Although this Zhang Qi had eight meridians of true qi, his desire had been seized from him and he fled in panic. He was the walking target in Jiang Chen's eyes.    

Coupled with Jiang Chen's “God” eyes that scanned the surroundings, he could make a very accurate assessment of Zhang Qi's exit and his next move.    

Therefore, there was absolutely no possibility of missing this time!    

Long San's face was pale as he muttered, cursing, “Coward, coward. Didn't think I, Long San, would raise a coward like a death fighter.”    

After half a day, some wandering practitioners who were riding on horse carriages stopped in front of the door of the Soaring Dragon palace.    

“Who are you that dare to roam in front of the Duke of Soaring Dragon palace?” The palace guards immediately appeared and tried to expel these wandering practitioners.    

One of the middle-aged practitioners smiled apologetically, “Don't get angry sir, don't get angry. We did not act wild on this trip. We purely help others deliver someone here, fulfilling the spirit of helping each other while in the outside world.”    

“Bring someone? Send who?” The tone of voice of the palace guards was rather unfriendly.    

“The person who entrusted us to deliver this person said that this person's name was Long San. He said this was a powerful practitioner in your Soaring Dragon palace, and he was poisoned while on a mission outside. It's the most urgent thing for us to bring him back. He said to ask the strongest poison master in the palace to examine it. We also try our best to do what others ask us.”    

“Master San?” The palace guard was stunned when he heard the vaulted name Long San. "Where is he?"    

“In the carriage, please look at the guard lord, and see if he is someone in your house. If not, then we are the ones toying with.”    

The palace guards jerked the curtains of the carriage and looked inside. His expression changed drastically when he saw the person inside while shouting, “All of you, wait here. I'll log in and make a report!”    

A group of famous people with power in the Soaring Dragon palace immediately surged. Although Long San was only a hired thug for the duke of Soaring Dragon, he was one of the five strongest people in the ducal palace of Soaring Dragon.    

Although he was only a guard leader, he had performed many secret actions for the Duke of Soaring Dragon, and thus the Duke of Soaring Dragon depended heavily on him.    

And now, this Long San had been poisoned and sent back by some wandering practitioners, his status unknown. How could this not confuse and shock the entire rank of a Soaring Dragon duke?    

Long San was a true qi master! The number of people who could harm him in the Eastern Kingdom could basically be counted with one hand!
