Chapter 185: Killing Lao Ai with a Sword

Chapter 185 Killing Lao Ai with One Sword
Yingge looked at the close relationship between Cheng Jiao and Jingwei Zinu and couldn't help but feel envious.

At this moment, without thinking, she could tell that if she wanted to stay comfortably with Cheng Jiao in the future, she needed to treat these two women with care.

Cheng Jiao glanced at Yingge, and seeing that she was in a daze, he smiled.

"Yingge, do you want this enlightenment pill?"

Yingge came back to his senses. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted by the Enlightenment Pill. For anyone who practiced martial arts, the opportunity for sudden enlightenment that the Enlightenment Pill could bring was irresistible.

"It's up to you, sir."

Cheng Jiao said slowly, "I will be leaving Xinzheng soon. Zi Nu will stay in Zi Lan Xuan for the time being. I want you to obey Zi Nu and protect her. Are you willing?"

"Yingge is willing!"

"Are you willing to sacrifice your life?"

"willing!"

Yingge did not hesitate, she understood that as long as she stayed in Xinzheng, Mo Ya and Bai Feng could stay in Xianyang.

Cheng Jiao smacked his lips and said without hesitation, "You want to stay by my side?"
-
Wei Zhuang had been following Tianze not far away, watching Tianze fleeing out of the city. However, when he was about to escape from Xinzheng, he made an unexpected move and turned around and ran towards Zilanxuan, regardless of the risk of getting injured.

Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou smiled. Tianze did not choose death after all. He was smart enough to know their intention of surrounding but not catching him.

Tianze covered his heaving chest with one hand, and the anger in his snake eyes almost turned into substance. When he was about to step out of Xinzheng, he felt the greatest life-and-death crisis in his life. He knew that if he dared to step out of Xinzheng, he would die.

Whether it's night or quicksand, it drives him around like a dog!
It's so deceiving!

Wei Zhuang stood on the top of the tall building, looking at Zi Lan Xuan from afar, knowing that tonight would not be as smooth and peaceful as Cheng Jiao expected. Without delay, he arrived at Zi Lan Xuan first.

"Things have changed. Tianze is coming to Zilanxuan."

Cheng Jiao paused slightly. Is Tianze so smart?
Wei Zhuang continued, "Ji Wuye and Xue Yi Hou forced him to come."

Cheng Jiao and the other two understood that it was not Tianze who did not want to run away from Xinzheng.

Zi Nu made arrangements calmly, and thanks to Tian Ze and Ye Mu Fu, few people came to Zi Lan Xuan tonight.

Soon, there were no more customers in Zilanxuan, and many of the young ladies in Zilanxuan changed into tight-fitting clothes.

"Zi Nu, you've trained well."

Cheng Jiao walked into the Zi Lan Xuan where the lights were turned off. He looked at and felt the beautiful figures moving around him, and felt a little impressed by Zi Nu's methods.

"These sisters have been with me for many years. I know their abilities and specialties. These are nothing."

After hearing what Zi Nu said, Cheng Jiao had the idea of ​​accepting Zi Lanxuan's group of sisters-in-law. His mansion in Xianyang was short of maids and guards. He would have so many women in the future, so he would need some trustworthy people to serve him in the mansion.

The street facing Zi Lan Xuan was silent, and Tianze walked towards Zi Lan Xuan with three steps and one stagger. He had lost too much blood, and he got here completely by relying on his ruthlessness.

Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou ordered the city guards and ice armor soldiers who were chasing Tianze to stop and follow them.

There was no need to continue "urging" Tianze at this time. If he was accidentally killed, all their work would be in vain.

It was pitch dark inside Zi Lan Xuan, and the door was wide open, like a black hole that seemed to swallow everything.

Tianze narrowed his eyes. He didn’t believe that Liusha wouldn’t know that he had fled to Zilanxuan.

Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou looked at Tianze standing in front of Zilanxuan. As long as Tianze stepped into Zilanxuan, they would order the city guards and ice armor soldiers to surround Zilanxuan.

Even if Han Fei, Zhang Liang and Cheng Jiao all showed up, they could still forcibly search Zilanxuan.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Suddenly, the sound of fierce fighting was heard not far away. Yanri fled to Zilanxuan at all costs, but was still caught up by Xuan Jian and Lao Ai in the city and had to retreat while fighting.

Xueyi Hou and Ji Wuye looked towards the place where the sword energy was rampant. The three of Yanri were all top masters, and they fought with a completely reckless style. Large areas of wooden frames of shops along the street were torn apart by the sword energy. Fortunately, after Tianze and Yemu's attacks, there were basically no people around Zilanxuan.

"My Lord, it seems to be a sunshade?"

The Blood-Robed Marquis narrowed his eyes: "It's the Sun-Covering Sword, and the Black and White Mysterious Sword."

Ji Wuye frowned: "Aren't they all Luowang's top assassins? Why are they fighting here? The direction Yanri fled seems to be Zilanxuan. Do you want to save him?"

After all, Yanri had a deal with Yemu before. If he died in front of them, Luowang would have a hard time saying anything.

"General, whether Yanri lives or dies has nothing to do with us."

Marquis Xueyi withdrew his gaze, not intending to get involved in this suspected infighting within Luowang.

Ji Wuye's strength was so great that it could cover the sun. If it were him, he would probably have been beheaded by Xuan Jian and Lao Ai.

The noise of the battle between the three Yanri people naturally attracted the attention of Tianze, Chengjiao and his party.

Tianze stopped entering Zilanxuan, as if waiting for a turning point.

He didn't know the three people of Yanri, but he could tell from the battle between them that they were all top masters in the martial arts world. The gathering of so many top masters in the royal city must have nothing to do with him.

Yanri passed by Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou without asking for help. They were all killers, and in such a situation, it was good enough that they didn't add insult to injury.

Tianze looked at Yanri, who was in a more miserable state than himself, and glanced at him with fear.

Yanri knew Tianze and had no time to care why he was standing at the door of Zilanxuan.

Just now, in order to escape from the battle area between Xuan Jian and Lao Ai, he had to withstand a sword attack from Xuan Jian. His body was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled, but the bronze mask on his face was still firmly attached to his face.

Just as Yanri was about to enter Zilanxuan, Cheng Jiao walked out.

He had to come out. Who would have known that Yanri had clearly said that he would bring him Lao Ai's head, but at this moment he ran to Zilanxuan like a stray dog.

When Yanri saw Cheng Jiao coming out, he said without hesitation: "Chang'an Jun, save me!"

Xuan Jian and Lao Ai were standing not far from Yanri. When they saw that it was Cheng Jiao, they did not hesitate and continued to attack, intending to kill Yanri in front of Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao coughed lightly: "Jingwei."

A pink sword energy appeared from behind Cheng Jiao and slashed in front of Xuan Jian and Lao Ai, causing Lao Ai's expression to change. From this sword, it can be seen that Jing Wei is stronger than Yan Ri. Xuan Jian was not surprised, as he had been hit by Jing Wei's full force and almost died.

Lao Ai looked at Yanri standing behind Cheng Jiao, feeling somewhat unwilling. Lu Buwei had already said that as long as Yanri died, Yanri's position would be his, and he would also help him control the Luowang assassins belonging to Zhao Ji.

"Lord Chang'an, Luo Wangyanri has betrayed the empire. I am following Prime Minister Lu's orders to kill the traitor!"

Lao Ai looked at Jingni with fear. Before Jingni left Luowang, he had always been superior to him in the organization. He never expected that he had become so strong after not seeing him for more than a year.

Cheng Jiao did not answer, but clapped his hands lightly.

Three girls came out of Zilanxuan, among whom stood on Cheng Jiao's left and right.

One of them held the wine, one held the wine glass, and the other girl put down the table and slowly retreated.

Cheng Jiao sat casually on the table, rubbed his hands, opened the folding fan that had not been used for a long time, and fanned it slowly.

"Oh? Really? I don't believe it."

Yanri took a deep breath and suppressed his surging blood. "I am Yanri, the leader of Luowang. It's a joke to say that I betrayed you!"

Cheng Jiao took a sip of wine and said, "Did you hear that? This is the leader of Luowang, and you, as his subordinate, say that the leader betrayed you? Can you say that you betrayed Luowang first?"

Lao Ai said, "Cheng Jiao, since you are the brother of the King of Qin, I call you Lord Chang'an. Don't be ungrateful!"

Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes and said, "As a subordinate, I am disrespectful to my superior. What shall I do according to the laws of Qin?"

Yanri gritted his teeth and said, "Behead him!"

"Then kill him."

Upon hearing this, Lao Ai couldn't help laughing.

"Just relying on Jingwei?"

Xuan Jian held two swords in his hands, and locked his aura on Jing Wei. He might not be Jing Wei's opponent in a one-on-one fight, but it would be difficult for Jing Wei to kill him after he recovered his memory and mental state.

Cheng Jiao didn't care: "What about you? Do you rely on Xuan Jian or the Prime Minister?"

Xueyi Hou and Ji Wuye did not move, just watching the show.

It's really interesting that Luowang, a killer organization belonging to the Qin State, wants to kill its leader Yanri in public.

Tianze's eyes flickered as he thought about how to pull Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou in, so that Luowang Yemu Liusha could fight each other and he could take the opportunity to escape.

Lao Ai glanced at Jingwei beside Cheng Jiao, and looked towards Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou.

"But General Ji?"

Ji Wuye raised his head and said, "It's me."

Cheng Jiao looked at Lao Ai with interest, wondering if he was going to join forces with Ye Mu's people.

"General Ji, are you interested in cooperating?"

"What cooperation?"

"Help me kill Yanri, and I will ask the Prime Minister to ignore the assassination of the Qin envoy in Han."

Ji Wuye was somewhat tempted, and the Blood-Robed Marquis's eyes flashed.

"I have something to ask you. The wealth of Jubao Pavilion was stolen. Was Luowang involved?"

Ji Wuye was also excited when he heard Xue Yi Hou asking about this matter. When he and Xue Yi Hou discussed the Jubao Pavilion case before, he suspected that Cheng Jiao and Luo Wang Yan Ri were colluding. Now it seems that Cheng Jiao is indeed in the same group with Yan Ri, but the internal struggle of Luo Wang has put a question mark on this matter.

Lao Ai was startled and frowned, "What Treasure Pavilion?"

Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that there was still hope of getting the money from Jubao Pavilion back.

Marquis Xueyi whispered, "General, agree. We must search Zilanxuan tonight!"

Ji Wuye laughed: "That's exactly what I meant! Lord Chang'an, Xinzheng is in a turbulent time right now. Please give me a favor. How about we solve Luowang's internal affairs by Luowang itself?"

Cheng Jiao said in a gloomy voice: "Lao Ai committed treason and should be executed according to Qin's laws. General Ji is intervening to make a fool of the Qin royal family!"

Before Ji Wuye could continue speaking, Cheng Jiao suddenly shouted angrily.

"Lao Ai is guilty of treason and should be put to death!"

Everyone was stunned by Cheng Jiao's loud shout, before they could come to their senses.

A red light like that of a python and a bright pink sword energy attacked Lao Ai as soon as Cheng Jiao finished speaking, blocking his retreat.

Xuan Jian wanted to help Lao Ai, but was stopped by Wei Zhuang who appeared from the dark.

After Zi Nu took the enlightenment pill and entered the realm of grandmaster, Cheng Jiao spent 100 attribute points to help Zi Nu raise her internal strength and swordsmanship to the maximum level.

Now he has two top martial arts masters who are comparable to the Six-Fingered Black Knight by his side, and Lao Ai still dares to jump around in front of him. Does he really think that he left Xianyang because he was scared of that old guy Lu Buwei!

Lao Ai's face changed drastically. If it was just Jingwei, he might still be able to deal with him, but with the addition of Zi Nu, who was not much weaker than Jingwei, he felt the life-and-death crisis again.

According to the current strength of Jingwei and Zinu, they can still defeat Gai, Nie, Wei and Zhuang together in the later stage, not to mention that it is just Lao Ai who has similar strength to Xueyi Hou.

When people are in life-and-death crisis, they will greatly exploit their own potential.

Lao Ai roared with a fierce look in his eyes. He attacked Zi Nu and Jing Wei together and rushed straight to Cheng Jiao's position.

Cheng Jiao was surprised at Lao Ai's decisiveness. He looked at Lao Ai, who was seriously injured by Jingwei and Zinu's joint attack and was not much better than Yanri. His body was covered with sword wounds, but he still wanted to take him hostage.

Didn't anyone tell him that he was also a top-notch master in the martial arts world? Didn't anyone really think he was still the young man who only knew the sword skills in the palace?

Cheng Jiao whistled softly, drew out his sword in a flash, and without holding back, directly used his spiritual power. Under Lao Ai's incredulous gaze, he emitted a white sword energy that was not much inferior to Jing Wei's.

Under Cheng Jiao's deliberate control, Lao Ai's head rolled in front of Ji Wuye and Xue Yi Hou.

The column of blood rising into the sky filled the air with a strong smell of blood.

Tianze's fingers trembled slightly. He had just seen that there was no one guarding Cheng Jiao, and was ready to take the opportunity to kidnap Cheng Jiao. However, he never expected that Cheng Jiao's strength would improve so quickly and was already no less than those top masters.

Ji Wuye looked with a grim face at Lao Ai, who had just been discussing cooperation with him, and in the blink of an eye, he was beheaded by Cheng Jiao with a single sword.

The Bloody Marquis looked at Cheng Jiao with fear. The previous intelligence showed that Cheng Jiao was only a first-class master at most, but now it seems that is very different. However, Xinzheng is his home ground. The surrounding city guards and his ice armor soldiers add up to 600 to 700 people. He is fearless!

Cheng Jiao was so aggressive that he was not afraid to reveal his cards. It was obvious that he was hiding something. Since Luo Wang was not involved in the Jubao Pavilion case, he would search Zilanxuan tonight no matter what!

Yanri looked somewhat excited. Cheng Jiao had subordinates who were no less powerful than Jing Niu, and he himself was also incredibly powerful. As long as King Zheng of Qin came to Xinzheng this time, he would be doomed to death.

Xuan Jian slashed Wei Zhuang back with a sword, looked at Lao Ai who had died on the spot, snorted coldly, and then jumped a few times and disappeared from the scene.

He doesn't have the confidence to face Zi Nu, Jing Wei, Cheng Jiao and Wei Zhuang at the same time, it would be fatal.

Wei Zhuang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Xuan Jian was very powerful and he could only delay for a moment at most.

Yingge walked out slowly from Zilanxuan and handed Cheng Jiao a piece of cloth.

Cheng Jiao wiped his hands and smiled at Ji Wuye, "In order to prevent outsiders from seeing the joke, Cheng Jiao can only deal with the door himself."

Ji Wuye looked at Yingge who was serving Cheng Jiao, his face looking terribly gloomy.

Marquis Xueyi said calmly, "Lord Chang'an punished the rude people of Qin State, and this Marquis does not care. But today Tianze fled to Zilanxuan under the pursuit of this Marquis and General Ji. It can be seen that Zilanxuan has an unclear relationship with Baiyue Tianze."

Cheng Jiao threw the cloth he had used to wipe his hands to Yingge.

"From what the Marquis said, do you want to search Zi Lan Xuan?"

As soon as Cheng Jiao finished speaking, the city guards tightened the encirclement. The three hundred ice-armored soldiers of the Blood-Robed Marquis formed a battle formation, staring at Jingwei and Zinu.
