The King of Hell didn’t respond to the other party’s question. He was silent for two seconds, then his red lips slightly opened, and he asked in return,””This young master, are you Zhu zhizhao?”
“Impudent!” When Bao Qi heard this, he immediately stepped forward and shouted,”How dare you! You dare to call Your Highness by your name?”
Xiu Xiu Xiu
Before his voice fell, a sharp sound suddenly came from the curtain.
At that moment, an invisible force was released and attacked Bao Qi.
The move that King Yama had used … Seemed to have no power at all, and had only “passed” through the curtain like a light breeze blowing the Willow. However, in the blink of an eye, this Qi force accelerated rapidly and condensed into the form of a Thunderbolt in the air with an unstoppable momentum.
No one knew what method she had used, what move, what technique …
In fact, among the eight Masters, only two people had reacted in time to this move.
The first one … Was Bian Ji.
Deputy Bian’s internal energy was top-notch. He could almost instinctively sense the danger of this move. Thus, he quickly circulated his true force and raised his palm to form a palm shadow in the air.
And the second one … Was Shangguan Rao.
As the commander of the embroidered uniform guards, he naturally could not sit by and watch his subordinates get killed. Different from Bian Ji, a person with extraordinary external skills like Lord Shangguan mainly relied on his “five senses,” which was very similar to players.
It happened too late! Shangguan Rao’s figure flashed and she raised an arm to block in front of Bao Qi.
However, what happened next could only be described as “terrifying.”
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
After three strange sounds …
A hole was pierced through Bian Ji’s palm shadow, and it disappeared.
Shangguan Rao’s arm was also pierced and blood was flowing out.
As for baoqi … His entire upper body had been smashed into a pile of meat paste. He didn’t even manage to make a muffled groan before he died.
Under such circumstances, the seven experts who were still alive undoubtedly had the same reaction deep in their hearts.”F * ck!”
As for Zhu zhizhao and Chang Wei, who did not know martial arts … Although they did not understand the various tricks in this round of confrontation, they could clearly see the tragic state of the corpses. Therefore, they were so shocked that their faces turned pale and they did not know what to do.
“Good, the two of you are worthy of being experts of the inner palace.” Two seconds later, the King of Hell’s pleasant voice sounded again,”with vice envoy Xi’s talent, it’s not easy to cultivate the true Qi manifestation ability. Lord Shangguan’s physical Kung Fu is also very hard to come by … If the two of you go to the Jianghu, you’ll definitely become one of the top figures in the martial arts world. ”
Her tone was very calm when she said these words, and the calmer she was, the more terrifying she seemed …
It was so terrifying that it was suffocating.
In the world today, there was only one person who could give these seven experts such a sense of oppression … And that was Cao Xin.
“Senior …” After another five seconds, Shangguan Rao stopped the bleeding on her hand with an acupoint technique and said in a deep voice,”…My subordinate has offended you with his words just now. I hope you can forgive him!”
He was indeed a smart person and knew how to judge the situation. To him, the death of one Bao Qi was completely acceptable. If there was a need, he would do it even if he had to sell Zhu zhizhao …
“Well …” The King of Hell pondered for a moment and then said,”now you know how to talk to me?”
“My … My name is Bian Ji, I pay my respects to senior.” No one would have thought that this Deputy Bian, who usually looked a little cold, would be the second person to bow his head after Shangguan Yan.
However, his actions had also set a good example … When the rest of the people saw Lord Shangguan and Lord Bian’s attitudes, they did not feel embarrassed.
Thus, Lu Yuan, Mao jincai, Jiang Xu, Cao Guo, and Yu Fei cupped their fists one after another and respectfully reported their names to the King of Hell.
After that, it was Imperial physician Chang’s turn …
“I am Chang Wei, greetings …”
“Mr. Chang … You don’t have to call me senior.” Unexpectedly, the King of Hell interrupted Chang Wei when he was speaking.”I can’t afford to do that.”
These words…..At first glance, it didn’t seem to be wrong, because Imperial physician Chang’s age was the oldest among the ten people in this group (although there were only nine left now). However, after thinking about it carefully, something seemed to be wrong …
From the exchange just now, it could be seen that King Yama was not very polite to this group of people. Even Bian Ji, the second oldest of the ten people (close to 60 years old), called her senior, she did not say anything. Logically speaking … Even if she wanted to reject Imperial physician Chang from calling her senior, she only needed to say the first half of the sentence. The second half of the sentence,”I can’t bear it “didn’t seem normal no matter how she thought about it.
As such, the moment these words left his mouth, the crowd who had gradually come to their senses turned their faces towards Imperial physician Chang in unison, their faces filled with suspicion.
“Hmph … Even though I can’t hide it from you, why did you have to point it out?” In the next second, the old look on Tsune Takeshi’s body seemed to have disappeared in an instant. His slightly hunchbacked body suddenly straightened up, and his complexion seemed to have become younger by more than ten years. Even the tone of his voice was no longer like an old man ‘s, but revealed the spirit of a man in his Prime.
“Lord Chang … You …” Zhu zhizhao, who was standing beside Chang Wei, was the last to recover from his shock. He was also the one who was most surprised by Imperial physician Chang’s transformation.
“Ha … Your Highness, to tell you the truth …” Chang Wei sneered.”This old man wasn’t an Imperial physician many years ago …” As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and stood in the standard posture of a peerless master.
As soon as he said that, the expressions of the seven experts beside him changed. Especially the two from the embroidered uniform guards and the East Imperial cension…To them, it was a great dereliction of duty to have such a person among the Imperial physicians dedicated to the royal family, and they had not noticed it at all.
“It’s normal that you can’t find out his identity. ” At this moment, the King of Hell seemed to have seen through their thoughts. He said coldly from inside the room,”this person is the number one expert in Japan forty years ago, Chi Chi Chang. Not only is he at the peak of martial arts, but he is also proficient in medicine, divination, and astrology. He can be said to be an all-rounder.” She paused,”but … About 30 years ago, Chang xingmo suddenly disappeared from the Japanese martial arts world. Some said that he was already dead, while others said that he had gone out to sea to seek immortality. But in fact … He disguised himself and got on the ship of the Japanese pirates to come to the Central Plains. ”
“Heh …” Chang Wei sneered.”I didn’t expect that … In this deep valley at the edge of the desert, there would be someone who knows so much about me …” He waved his sleeve and asked bluntly,”I wonder … How do you know all this?”
“It’s simple,” The King of Hell replied,”of course, someone told me.”
“Who is it?” Chang Wei’s face was stern as he cast a sharp gaze at the curtain.
“I …” Another voice responded to him.
It was a soft and indifferent voice.
The moment this voice rang out, everyone’s expression changed … Including hell King.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xin’s figure had already appeared between Zhu zhizhao and Chang Wei.
No one saw how he had come, as if he had been standing there all along.
“Cao Xin …” Tsune Takeshi’s expression became very serious. His hand subconsciously moved to his chest.
“What’s wrong? You want to use a smokescreen?” Cao Xin did not even look at him. He said casually,”Oh … No, it should be called ‘Ninjutsu’. It would make it look more powerful that way.”
Hearing this, Tsune Takeshi put down his hand and said,””You … You know about Ninjutsu?”
“I know a lot of things.” Cao Xin replied,”the day you were admitted to the imperial physician’s Institute, I knew you were not an ordinary person.” He continued,”after that, you went into hiding as an Imperial physician for more than 20 years. During such a long time … I naturally had enough time to find out your background.”
“Hmph! “Bluffing …” Chang Wei said,”if you really knew my identity when I entered the Imperial Academy of Medicine, why didn’t you expose me?”
“Why should I expose you?” Cao Xin asked without thinking.
“Of course it’s because …” Tsune Takeshi wanted to say something, but the words that were on the tip of his tongue froze.
Then, his expression became rather unsightly.
“Do you understand now?” Cao Xin replied,”since you can endure for more than 20 years, I can also endure with you for more than 20 years. I’ll take you down the moment you reveal your fox tail. ” He picked up the wine pot with a smile and took another sip.”I caught you on the first day you were in hiding. It’s not a punishment because you already knew that you were going to die. “That’s why I won’t let you die … I’ll just quietly watch you pretend, watch you waste half of your life on an impossible thing, and finally, when you think you’re about to succeed, I’ll let you know that everything is in vain …” Every word he said was like a cold wind, blowing on Tsune Takeshi’s soul.”This … Is the best way to deal with people like you.”
It wasn’t just Chang Wei, even the people from the Imperial court beside him felt a chill run down their spines when they heard this. At this moment, they were extremely glad …”It’s a good thing we’re on the same side as eunuch Cao.” However, there was also a faint trace of fear in their hearts …”What if he has something on me that he has already gotten hold of, but he just hasn’t exposed it … What should I do?”
“You … You …” On the other hand, Chang Wei was already unable to contain his anger. His inner energy and killing intent involuntarily spread out from his body.
However, Cao Xin was not moved at all. He just stood in front of Zhu Zhizha and continued,””When you were forty, you were already a legend in Japan’s martial arts world. Like many overlords, after you obtained power that others could not hope to obtain, you thought of how to protect it forever. Thus … You came to the Central Plains. ” He paused for a moment.”You’re very smart. You know that Daming is vast and has many experts. Even if you’re invincible in Japan, it’s not impossible for someone in the martial arts world of the Central Plains to defeat you. That’s why you hid your identity and disguised yourself as a wandering physician. On the surface, you treated the four Seas as your home and helped the world, but in reality, you were trying to find out information about the art of immortality. ”
At this point, eunuch Cao glanced at the King of Hell and said,””But at that time, the legend of the King of Hell didn’t exist yet. After you searched for him in Jianghu, you thought of the royal family …” He chuckled.”Ha … This idea is indeed correct. If there is really a way to live forever in this world … Then the Emperor of the Ming Empire will definitely get it at all costs. Even if he can’t get the real thing at the first time, he can at least get the news. As a result, after a few years, you finally entered the Imperial Academy of Medicine with your superb medical skills. At this point … You felt that your plan was already half successful. ” He spread out his hands and shook his head.”I didn’t expect that we’d have to wait for nearly thirty years. Now that you’re almost seventy, you can’t wait any longer.” What a coincidence … The Emperor sent someone to look for the ‘art of longevity’ in burial heart Valley and appointed you as the only accompanying Imperial physician. Hehe … I think you must have been overjoyed when you heard the news, right?”
When Chang Wei heard this, he stared at Cao Xin and replied,””Okay … You know everything, but so what?” As he spoke, he took out eight shurikens and held them between his fingers.”I’m now in the burial heart Valley and standing in front of King Yama … As long as I kill all of you and subdue that woman, the art of immortality will still be mine.”
“Hahaha …” Cao Xin looked at Chang Wei and laughed.”Chang Wei, you really don’t understand … You said it yourself … That I ‘know everything’. Then, do you think … That at this moment, you and everyone else here … I didn’t predict that you would be ‘alive’?”
Cold, this sentence made everyone except the King of Hell feel a bone-chilling cold.
“There are many doctors in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Why do you think the Emperor chose an old man like you to follow us to travel the mountains and swim?” Cao Xin used another question with an obvious answer to stab Chang Wei.
“Ah!!!!” Chang Wei had nothing to say.
A second later, he shouted and suddenly attacked.
The eight swords in his hands danced like butterflies, as if they had their own consciousness. They bypassed Cao Xin and swarmed toward Zhu zhizhao.
Chang Wei was proud and arrogant, and thought that he was invincible in the world. Even the King of Hell’s actions did not surprise him (he only pretended to have the same reaction as Zhu zhizhao), and he did not take the seven masters around him seriously. But … Chang Wei was still a little afraid of Cao Qin. He knew that he had no chance of winning against this unfathomable monster, so … He chose to attack Zhu zhizhao, trying to make Cao Qin reveal his weakness. Once eunuch Cao was killed by him, the others would not even have the courage to fight him.
However … What Tsune Takeshi never expected was …
Cao Xin did not move.
The eunuch of the East military execution order stood indifferently on the spot, not even turning his head as he allowed Zhu Zhizha to die under the sword in his hand.
“What!” Tsune Takeshi was shocked once again. Since his opponent didn’t move at all, he naturally didn’t reveal any flaws, and he had no way to continue his attack.
“What’s wrong?” Cao Xin picked up the wine pot and took a sip.”Did you take it for granted that I stood between you and his Highness to protect him?” He smiled and shook his head.”Sigh … You deserve to die without an intact corpse.”
Before the word ‘corpse’ could come out of his mouth, seven different techniques and inner strength … Had already landed on Tsune Takeshi’s back like a storm. (To be continued.)
