The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 83

Previously, the enemy was in the shadows and Jiang Chen was in the light.    

But now, Jiang Chen was in the shadows and the enemy was in the light!    

Jiang Chen deployed “Boulder's Heart” and tried his best to adjust his mentality to a level that was immune to desire and lust. He even held his breath.    

Even so, the heart of Jiang Chen's palm was still faintly sweating.    

“If not for the opponent revealing their weakness with their words this time, I might have already become a corpse by now.” Jiang Chen's heart was still pounding in fear.    

It was obvious that the Duke of Soaring Dragon had really put in a lot of effort this time around, and had actually hired four true qi expert assassins.    

Even if they didn't try any self-torturing tricks to win her confidence and surround her from all sides, they had at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of slamming her down.    

“The only thing to blame is that these killers are too careful and too want to be sure of their success.” Jiang Chen was able to understand how things were viewed from their point of view.    

After all, this is not the outside world – this is the Unlimited Catacombs. It was an endless night – underground world – that stretched in all directions, and had a complicated terrain.    

After the ambush failed, and the target escaped, it would be very difficult to catch him inside the Boundless Catacombs.    

His opponents were too trying to ensure their success, but instead gave Jiang Chen the opportunity to snatch his life from the jaws of death.    

However, Jiang Chen did not relax his vigilance. He had planned and got rid of two of the four true qi master assassins, but two were still left. One was an expert in melee combat, and the other was an expert in ambushes. It seemed like their strength would be stronger than the two people who had died.    

Jiang Chen was now a true nine meridians qi, and with his knowledge of powerful methods, he would not be harmed even he was directly dealing with a true qi master.    

But facing two people at once, and for the two of them to be cold-blooded assassins, was still an enormous risk to Jiang Chen.    

Jiang Chen might not be afraid of close combat, but it was impossible to guard himself from those archers with such a shocking facility.    

If not for the protection of the soft armor against the arrow right now, Jiang Chen's corpse would most likely have long since been found at the scene. Even so, his powerful true qi still caused injuries to a certain degree to him.    

Jiang Chen's back was leaning lightly on the stone wall and his Zephyr Ears were raised to the maximum.    

The sound of water dripping from the cliff wall. The sound of bubbles appearing in the swamp. All sorts of movements of underground creatures underground – various small sounds all enter his ears.    

Whooshing sound!    

A powerful voice pierced through the air without any warning, and suddenly attacked Jiang Chen's location violently.    

Another arrow!    

And it was extremely accurate as it went straight to Jiang Chen's hideout.    

It was as if the arrow was going to pierce through gold and smash the stone – he had an imposing stance as if his true qi was on fire.    

It instantly pierced through, flying through the stone wall.    

“He found me?” Jiang Chen was surprised when his body slightly wavered at that crucial moment.    

Fortunately, there were stone walls in between. Although this arrow had unparalleled momentum, it pierced through the stone wall still giving off a layer of barrier, and its speed slowed down slightly.    

Jiang Chen dodged it in this small, descending speed!    

A powerful true Qi pierced through the stone wall, and brought along an arrow to the wall on the other side, sinking into the wall from the tip to the top of the fletching!    

As the arrowhead shot towards the opposite wall, it let out an ear-piercing hum, shook the stone wall and made the rock dust flutter everywhere, the wall cracking open like a spider web.    

“Qi true very strong!”    

Jiang Chen was fascinated. The true Qi carried by this arrow was absolutely not something that a true qi master of ten meridians true qi possessed.    

“Eleven meridians true qi master?” Jiang Chen became even more surprised. This duke of Soaring Dragon had not cost him anything, and had even hired eleven true meridian qi masters?    

There was a striking degree of difference between the existence of ten meridians true qi and eleven meridians true qi.    

In the entire Eastern Kingdom, the number of eleven meridians true qi masters might not exceed 20!    

No time was given for Jiang Chen's musings, the arrow pierced through the air with incomparable dominance like a shooting star. Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!    

Three streams of extremely powerful arrow auras continuously all shot towards the stone wall where Jiang Chen was hiding.    

“Damn it, a true qi master of eleven meridians is fine. If I can find him, he can also find me!”    

Jiang Chen suddenly discovered that the advantages he obtained from the God Eyes and Zephyr Ears were all completely dispensed in front of a true qi master of eleven meridians.    

It was fortunate that jagged rocks with strange shapes were all around the area where Jiang Chen had chosen to hide. There were all sorts of stone walls for him to hide.    

His opponent wanted to shoot him, and sometimes had to pierce several walls to do so.    

However, although the stone wall could stop his opponent, it could also stop Jiang Chen's counterattack.    

The Plated Feather Thrower Dagger in his hand, Jiang Chen was trying valiantly to control his tense emotions.    

The advantages of “Boulder's Heart” training are starting to show. His emotions can become calmer when he is faced with a critical situation.    

Jiang Chen's emotional rhythm slowly fused with the jagged and strange rocks. The strange rock was motionless, so its mental state did not fluctuate either.    

“You can't hide Jiang Chen!”    

The hoarse and sinister voice of the murderous boss sounded like a demon from hell within the darkness.    

The cold-blooded killer was like a demon chasing relentlessly. His method of killing not only made one feel horrified and fearful, but his voice as well.    

Except, such emotional suppression had no effect in the presence of Jiang Chen's “Boulder's Heart”.    

Heh heh, Jiang Chen, I see you! Feel my sword!”    

Another voice sounded. The fake Hubing Yue had traveled within twenty meters of Jiang Chen under the protection of an arrow!    

Another arrow flew with a truly ingenious qi, towards Jiang Chen's hideout again!    

Jiang Chen resigned. His opponent's targeting ability was strong to the point of being abnormal. No matter how he dodged, he would never be able to escape the range of his opponent's shot.    

“Death, Son!” With a terrible laugh, the position of sword number two suddenly changed.    

One more stab towards Jiang Chen's right rib!    

This number two person was fluent in close combat. The sword technique he showed clearly got the true meaning of the viper attack.    

Every movement was accurate, cunning, and ferocious like the attack of a viper!    

If it was a direct fight, then Jiang Chen's “Long Ocean Flow Breaker could truly match this ingenious sword technique.    

However, there were two people on the other side. Although this close combat looked ferocious, it was only to drag Jiang Chen down. The truly deadly threat was from the arrow attacks of a true qi master of eleven meridians!    

“Deadly combination of scary! I will definitely die if I get involved with this person. The attack from the arrow could slowly torture me to death!”    

What's to be done?    

Jiang Chen had no recoil and no time to reflect. In those critical moments, a very bold thought – even risked – flashed through his mind.    

The nameless sword in his hand instantly attacked!    

“Eat my sword, the first form of Wave Slash!”    

Nine meridians true qi was accompanied by a sword blade that seemed to reverse the ocean currents, pointing straight towards number two.    

The strength of a person defeated ten. This Broad Ocean Current Separator was a tyrant among swords, and had an extremely impressive momentum. It was a technique of utilizing sword force to the maximum!    

This simple and unadorned slash was enough to cause the number two ingenious sword technique to come to a halt for a bit!    

"Go!"    

Jiang Chen forced the number two to retreat with a single move and immediately turned to leave, not staying silent in the slightest.    

Number two was overjoyed to see this sight. After all, this Jiang Chen was still inexperienced. He also knew that Jiang Chen had no desire to continue fighting because he was afraid of his boss' arrow attacks.    

However, with the way Jiang Chen turned to leave, this was equivalent to him leaving his back open to number two!    

“This child is looking for death!”    

The aura of sword number two churned, as a ferocious sword struck Jiang Chen's back like a viper!    

"Dead!"    

A cunning arch and terrifying true qi once again struck Jiang Chen's back!    

Jiang Chen's body stumbled as he rushed forward, his powerful true qi almost causing him to fall unconscious. It was fortunate that he increased his speed to an extreme. The forward momentum had slightly lowered the strength of this attack.    

“Bos, I hit him! This kid must be dead!”    

As the number two person called out to his friend loudly, a cold light appeared before his eyes, at the moment of his pride. A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through his mind.    

It was just that, at this distance, it was too late for him to make any reaction at this critical moment.    

Pfft!    

When that cold light flashed in his eyes, it had already entered his throat!    

Plated Fur Thrower Dagger!    

Jiang Chen had received one of his punches to turn around and return the favor!    

Although this attack was not an attack that encompassed the mysteries of “Moonshatter” Flying Daggers, it was the basic attack of the technique. His strength was astounding as he passed through a level to be killed with his attacks, making it impossible to fight back!    

It had to be said, Jiang Chen had taken a risky move for resigning.    

A bold plan, stern execution, and the slightest chance of certainty should accompany this precise dagger-throwing technique!    

The perfect knife was the satisfying conclusion of the daring plan this time around.    

The eyes of the number two person glared like the eyes of a dead fish. His face was filled with disbelief as he gripped his throat, letting out a hoarse and hoarse voice but unable to say another word.    

Another true qi master once again fell.    

Jiang Chen had no time to spare to pick up his throwing dagger. He did not even stop as his body ran away and once again sank into a strange pile of rocks.    

Now the fight is one on one!    

The boss of his opponents was proficient in the dao of bows and arrows.    

And he, Jiang Chen was also an expert in dagger throwing techniques!    

Long range attacks versus long range attacks. Without any helpers, the pressure on Jiang Chen immediately lessened a little.    

Except, the initial wound he had sustained was getting worse after receiving his opponent's slash.    

His stomach and lungs were rumbling like rivers and the ocean were upside down, and he wanted to vomit a few times.    

“This killer is professionally trained. If I hesitated for just a moment, or was briefly entangled by number two, then the person lying down right now is most likely me.”    

Close combat combined with long range attacks. Jiang Chen had undergone several changes on the verge of life and death, but his emotions had become even more stoic and determined.    

Jiang Chen circulated his original qi after swallowing the Heavenly Karma Pill, spreading the medicinal effects to his various meridians. After receiving two consecutive attacks, fortunately he had a soft armor protecting him, otherwise he would not even have the chance to take his pills now.    

At this moment, Princess Gouyu's stubborn and stubborn face suddenly flashed in Jiang Chen's mind. He thought if not for his wise consideration, this Boundless Catacombs would probably be the place where he died without revenge.    

“In the end, my strength is not enough. If I am at the level of a true qi master, and use various methods, how can I be in such a difficult position that I have to put out so much effort with this duo?”    

Hidden within the darkness, Jiang Chen once again realized that the lack of absolute strength would bind both his hands and feet when faced with such a situation.
