Martial Boss Chapter 144

Dawn is approaching.

At the western edge of Linchuan Prefecture, in a relatively secluded mansion, a dark shadow leaps silently beyond a certain compartment, quietly watching the quiet compartment, or rather, someone inside it.

Zhong Biao followed the medicine man around, not to protect him, but to spy on him. He himself was well aware of this, and therefore was not interested in his duty to protect the medicine man. It is also possible that Han Wenxin had instructed him that it would be better for the Medicine Master to die at the hands of an outsider’s a*sa*sination.

Only, he had not expected that the a*sa*sination would not come to the Medicine Master’s head, but to him instead.

Qing Yu silently observed the compartment, thinking about the layout of the compartment as described by Yakushi, and looking for the location of the bed, where Zhong Bei was.

Despite having carried out many a*sa*sinations, this was the first time he had ever entered a room for an a*sa*sination. Qingyu was not a regular intruder or professional a*sa*sin and had no experience in this area. He was not 100% sure that he could sneak into a room and kill a sleeping person with a single blow. If he was serious, he was not even 70 per cent sure.

So, instead of sneaking in and being discovered by the veteran Zhong Biao, it would be better to ——

The actual fact is that you can get a lot more than just a few of these.

 

“The first time I saw him, he was a real veteran.

When Qing Yu broke open the window, Zhong Bei was immediately awakened.

But —— the short distance from the window to the bed was obviously not enough for Zhong Bei to dodge the sword before it came, especially as it was still in Qing Yu’s hand.

No sooner had Zhong Bei spat out his third word than the icy blade sliced through his right arm, directly separating it from his body.

The estimate was still somewhat inaccurate, and had it not been for Qing Yu’s use of the “Taixu Eye” to fine-tune his sword path when he broke through the window, this surprise attack would have been a shock.

“Ah…” a harsh scream, accompanied by the death struggle of a trapped beast.

Zhong Bei, an old veteran, naturally did not know how to scream like those newcomers to the jungle who only pressed their broken arms. (My King’s Power~ crossed out.)

He ignored the blood that was pouring from the broken arm like a flood, and gathered all his Qi in his left fist and punched Qing Yu in the chest.

The longsword, having dislodged Zhong Bei’s right arm, rushed past his body with its remaining momentum, and now that the two were in close proximity, the longsword could not be used.

In the face of the beast’s desperate attempt to kill him, Qingyu’s eyes were silent and he abandoned his sword.

“Double Stream of Qi – Yin and Yang Hand Seal”.

“BON–”

Both of them fired their stances, but there was only a muffled sound.

Before his fist reached Qingyu’s chest, it was stopped by an invisible layer of qi, which rippled around and slowly removed the qi and true energy from the punch.

Instead, Qing Yu’s ‘Yin Yang Combined Hand Seal’ struck Zhong Bei in full force. A bloody hole was opened in his abdomen by this move, and the residual qi energy even shattered the clothes on Zhong Bei’s back at this point.

“The “Innate Astral Qi” is effective ——” said Qing Yu as he pushed Zhong Bei’s dead head away and praised.

The “Heavenly Diabolic Qi” from the ancient warrior novels of “Lady Mo Yu” Ji’s sadness is not only a true qi type martial art, it is within Qing Yu’s quick reach. It is also a fast-learning Xuanmen internal martial art. The innate true qi practiced is a kind of astral qi that is the most yin and soft but produces the purest and most rigid and purest yang astral qi, which protects the body and is not badly powerful, and has the effect of automatic protection.

The most important thing is that the astral energy is so soft and Yin that it can’t counter Zhong Biao’s deadly counter-attack, and he killed him with the “Yin Yang Hand Seal” which is twice as powerful.

“What’s that sound ——”

“There’s movement ——”

“There’s an a*sa*sin ——”

—————

Yakushi had come to Linchuan Mansion on business and had brought many of his men with him, who basically lived in this not-so-small mansion.

Qing Yu’s surprise attack killed Zhong Bei in just a few breaths, but the great commotion it generated could not be hidden from anyone. Not to mention the sound of the broken window, the scream of Zhong Biao when his arm was removed woke up everyone in the mansion.

The target had been killed and left.

Qing Yu leapt out of the broken window and in a few lifts, disappeared into the night.

By the time the pharmacist arrived at the room where Zhong Biao was, escorted by his men, all he saw was a dead Zhong Biao and a bed completely stained red with blood. The perpetrators had long since flown the coop.

When the pharmacist looked at Zhong Biao’s body, which had a large hole in it, he was neither happy nor sad. Although Zhong Bei was his bodyguard, he was always watching him like a thief, and the other men knew this in their hearts.

Therefore, there was no need for the pharmacist to be sympathetic and squeeze a few crocodile tears out of his eyes, he just said with an expressionless face, “Gather him up and bury him thickly.”

Then the pharmacist headed for his study, he was going to write a letter overnight and send it to the sixth prince of the divine capital.

Zhong Biao was dead, he had not killed him, it must have been the work of the forces in Linchuan Prefecture who were eyeing the benefits of the Longevity Scattering. This was a fact that had to be established. Therefore, after the bodyguard had suddenly given the a*sa*sination, the pharmacist must have sent a letter to the Sixth Prince for help, otherwise, it would have been a bit too calm.

He could not guarantee that there were no eyes and ears of Han Wenxin among these men who had come together from the divine capital, especially if most of them were still appointed by the Sixth Prince.

He walked to the study and ordered a few of his men to stand guard outside the door. The pharmacist twisted the small vase on the bookshelf, which slowly moved away and behind it was the entrance to the secret room.

The pharmacist walked into the chamber and inside, a black figure reeking of blood had been waiting for a long time.

“Did you see Zhong Bei’s corpse?” Qing Yu leaned back in the tai shi chair, his right hand on the armrest, propping his head up to look at the Pill Master, and said in a casual tone.

“I have seen it, my lord.”

Again, he was addressed as “my lord”, but now it was a much more respectful term than the one he had just used. At least, the lord had already proved his strength, killing the sixth-level Xiantian Zhong Biao in just a short time was enough to make the medicine master, a weakling of the Houtian realm, stand in awe.

And the lord’s wisdom, well, judging from his manner of speech, I don’t think it would be too low either.

“Well, with the matter of Zhong Bei finished, let’s continue where we left off and talk about where we should penetrate the circle of interests of Lin Chuan House ——”

Qing Yu straightened up, “I remember you just said that the Axe King of the Cao Gang is hosting a banquet for you in three days at the city’s Hearing Rain Waterfront ——
