Chapter 290: Implicated (2)
But they didn’t have time to waste!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
A tragic battle instantly erupted.
The two super experts—Sword Dharmaraja and Emissary Xun—also went all out. One of them used dual swords, while the other used a single saber that was as thin as a cicada’s wing. They parried the concealed weapons and tossed weapons and killed all the enemies in front of them.
“Kill!” Despite all his honor as a prince, Cheng Yanran also had to draw the two swords at his waist and risk his life. He was indeed quite talented to be apprenticed to Sword Dharmaraja. The outside world didn’t know that the Prince of Yan had secretly reached the level of a first-rate expert!
Cheng Yanran was crazily attacking the enemies in front of him. The Red Lotus Sect experts and secret guards beside him were in a frenzy.
But—
Cosmic citizen players were even crazier! They didn’t care about their lives!
“They aren’t afraid of death!”
“They are all zealots!” The hearts of Sword Dharmaraja, Emissary Xun, and the others turned cold.
When the enemy wasn’t afraid of death, the threat of carrying out an offense was much more terrifying.
Although Sword Dharmaraja and the others had killed more than ten experts upon contact, Xu Jingming, the three Lv. 8 experts, and 60 first-rate experts caught up in a few seconds.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Many experts quickly surrounded Sword Dharmaraja and the others.
“Stop,” Sword Dharmaraja said.
Xu Jingming extended his hand slightly, and the experts really stopped.
The secret guards of King of Yan’s Estate had just released their bugle arrows! There was a limit to the number of experts who could arrive in ten minutes. Xu Jingming knew very well that there was still enough time.
“May I ask the identity of the person targeting me, Pang Cheng?” Sword Dharmaraja looked at Xu Jingming. He could tell that this man with a stiff and cold expression was the team leader.
“Pang Cheng?” Xu Jingming came to a realization and smiled. “So it’s Sword Dharmaraja of the Red Lotus Sect. I didn’t expect to catch a big fish while dealing with the Prince of Yan!”
Sword Dharmaraja was stunned.?What? I’m being implicated?
“Deal with me?” Cheng Yanran was flabbergasted. Such a ferocious enemy was targeting him?
“Is there a misunderstanding?” Cheng Yanran asked.
“Misunderstanding?” Xu Jingming glanced at him, then turned to look at Sword Dharmaraja and said coldly, “Sword Dharmaraja, if you want to live, get your subordinates not to interfere. Otherwise… you’ll die with them!”
Sword Dharmaraja’s pupils constricted before he grinned. “Haha… Since you have a grudge against the Prince of Yan, I naturally won’t interfere. My Red Lotus Sect won’t interfere. Can you let us go first?”
“Wait by the side,” Xu Jingming said.
Sword Dharmaraja didn’t say a word. He only waved his hand, and his eight subordinates, five secret guards, and the one-armed woman followed him to the side.
“Yao’er, Master, both of you…” Cheng Yanran watched this scene in despair.
“Yanran, don’t blame me,” Sword Dharmaraja said. “This is your debt; I can’t help you.”
The one-armed woman sighed softly, unwilling to look at Cheng Yanran again.
Cheng Yanran fell silent.
There were indeed experts from the Red Lotus Sect among his secret guards. Now that Sword Dharmaraja had waved his hand, the Red Lotus Sect members immediately followed Sword Dharmaraja to the side.
“Your Excellency, can you spare His Highness? I owe His Highness a favor,” Emissary Xun said. “Feel free to raise any requests.”
Xu Jingming’s eyes turned cold. “Kill!”
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The three Lv. 8 experts and many first-rate experts instantly charged forward.
The few secret guards beside Cheng Yanran instantly collapsed.
Only Emissary Xun’s saber beam was strange and unpredictable. Every move and stance was fused with his psyche, affecting the surroundings and many first-rate experts. Emissary Xun even asked, “I can’t save His Highness, but can you spare my life?”
However, Xu Jingming watched coldly and ignored him.
In just a few seconds—
Emissary Xun died! Although his saber technique was terrifying, the three Lv. 8 experts weren’t inferior to him. It was already impressive for Emissary Xun to last a few seconds against the three of them.
Pu.?
Amidst Cheng Yanran’s crazy resistance, he was ultimately stabbed in the chest.
“I…” Cheng Yanran looked down at his chest dazedly.
Xu Jingming walked over.
“Cheng Yanran.” Xu Jingming stared at him.
Cheng Yanran looked up, his eyes filled with madness. “I knew this day would come. I’ve had all the fun over these years. I can welcome death with open arms.”
“Welcome?” Xu Jingming took out a medicine bottle and removed the stopper. He then sprinkled the powder from the medicine bottle on Cheng Yanran’s body and also on the wound on his chest.
Cheng Yanran immediately let out a miserable cry, his voice filled with pain and fear. But soon, he couldn’t make a sound.
His skin turned red as he trembled, and his eyes were filled with despair and pain. He had never tasted such terrifying pain. When the pain reached an unimaginable level, death was a form of relief.
“This is Bloodworm powder specially prepared for you,” Xu Jingming remarked softly. “Haven’t you always wanted to kill me?”
Xu Jingming removed the human skin mask on his face and gazed at Cheng Yanran.
Cheng Yanran—who couldn’t make a sound—looked at the person in front of him, and his eyes immediately widened.?Jingming? One of Fei Xinlan’s two male friends? On the day Fei Xinlan became a disciple, Jingming and Luo Baichuan were only small fries standing in the corner. Wasn’t he an ordinary Blood Rain Guard Captain?
Xu Jingming couldn’t be bothered to look at Cheng Yanran. He looked up at the shocked Sword Dharmaraja and the others.
Not good.?Sword Dharmaraja and the others’ expressions changed.?Removing the human skin mask and exposing his true identity? Although we don’t know this person, by seeing his true face… I’m afraid…
“Kill them.” Xu Jingming waved his hand.
“Sir…” Sword Dharmaraja said anxiously.
The three Lv. 8 experts led many first-rate experts and surrounded him.
Xu Jingming watched this scene calmly.
Release them? Regardless of whether it was the Red Lotus Sect or any other faction, he would still kill them all!
He had only ‘divided and conquered’ them. Otherwise, it would’ve taken him some effort to kill Sword Dharmaraja, Emissary Xun, and the others. Now, it was much easier to defeat them one by one.
“You still want to kill me even after knowing my identity?” Sword Dharmaraja originally thought that the other party wouldn’t easily become enemies with the Red Lotus Sect unless there was a grudge! They might be spared if he offered some conditions.
But who would have thought… He still insisted on killing him!
As they surrounded Sword Dharmaraja and the others, many second-rate experts were ordered to plunder the residence and corpses.
“Who are you? Why do you want me dead?” Sword Dharmaraja roared angrily before he died.
Xu Jingming looked at him and watched as Sword Dharmaraja died under the siege of three Lv. 8 experts!
“Search their corpses.” Xu Jingming stepped forward and personally searched Sword Dharmaraja. He was the person with the highest status present.
These two swords are bone-chilling, and they’re clearly not ordinary weapons. Their value is extraordinary.?Xu Jingming first put away the two swords belonging to Sword Dharmaraja.?Banknotes and golden leaves… These are worth more than 10,000 taels! As expected of the Red Lotus Sect’s Sword Dharmaraja.
Pang Cheng carried more than 10,000 taels with him, and they were all unencrypted.
Sword Dharmaraja had only carried some change with him. He needed money to travel the world most of the time.
This is…?Xu Jingming suddenly took out a piece of animal hide.
The hide was incomplete, and it was extremely soft to the touch. There were dense strange patterns on the skin.
What is this??Xu Jingming felt suffocated by the animal hide’s smell as he touched it. He vaguely felt that… it was a treasure.
It should be a treasure. I’ll study it later.?Xu Jingming put it away.
All the corpses in the courtyard were searched.
Xu Jingming stood there and watched Cheng Yanran die in pain.
Letting you die like this is already letting you off easy,?Xu Jingming thought to himself.
Liu Hai stepped forward and put Cheng Yanran’s head into a wooden box before wrapping it up.
“I’ll have to trouble you, Master.” Xu Jingming looked at Liu Hai.
“Leave it to me.” Liu Hai left with the package. He had to head to the Seven Kills Building headquarters in the capital as quickly as possible to receive the bounty for killing Cheng Yanran. This was because once the news of Cheng Yanran’s death was leaked, the capital’s officials would definitely investigate the murderer. When that happened, it would be difficult to receive the bounty.
