Chapter 204: Chapter 130: The Road to Heaven, No Door to Hell (Part 2)

Does it matter if it’s fake?

What if I leave the "target" and go after the assassin on my own.

In the end, getting hit by the opponent’s sword on the return would result in this "target" being killed... Whose fault is the mission failure, and will there be any reward?

Does Pei Zixing’s promise still count?

That’s where the problem lies.

The real Lord Prefecture is already dead, played himself into a corner.

The other side can say that the two from Primordial Martial Arts Hall did nothing and just took up roles without doing any work.

Thus, no reward afterward...

This reasoning is quite plausible.

They won’t care if a fundamental mistake was due to their own planning.

Can’t just snatch the reward by force in the end.

Don’t mention whether it’s possible to snatch it, without legitimacy, many things would become impossible.

For instance, without backing, you claim to be the Xuanwu Guard Captain, who would believe it?

"Young Hero Chen, this time we were at fault first, given the situation, killing this villain to avenge is of utmost importance.

As long as you go all out to help, the previous promise will be honored fully."

Pei Zixing landed on the ground and bounced up again.

However, at this moment, his Qi mechanism was chaotic, his right arm severed, and his long sword had fallen. His downcast Vast Righteous Qi no longer possessed its previous majesty.

With his remaining left arm, he fumbled in his chest pocket and pulled out a small golden bottle, throwing it over: "This is Clear Spirit Liquid, please, Brother Chen, for the sake of Xingqing’s millions of citizens, save the Prefecture Government Office."

At this time, the Silver Seal Chief Constable Shang Zheng, with his set of Element Locking Hook and Wind and Moon Lock, couldn’t lock anything.

Pressed by the sword light of the Illusory Heart Sword, he was extremely vulnerable, and his body had already been slashed with two blood marks.

Pei Zixing understandably knows.

If Shang Yinzhang gets killed, then it’s his turn next.

This assassin acts whimsically, no one knows what he might do.

If handled poorly, everyone small and old in the Prefecture Government Office might be killed.

Remembering the death of Mr. Yuan in the battle with the One-Character Heaven-Pointing Staff assassin three months ago, family and women were all slain because the Blood Eye Assassin was not adequately satisfied with his kill.

Those two disciples from Primordial Martial Arts Hall, in theory, should have protected the Prefecture’s substitute, inevitably entering a desperate battle right away.

But contrary to expectations, the assassin just probed slightly and then immediately distanced himself from the study, instead slaughtering in the side room and the backyard.

Impossible for the assassin to foresee and discover the Prefecture in the study is a substitute beforehand.

Pei Zixing wouldn’t believe it even if told forcefully.

Such a planned secret known by only three or four individuals couldn’t have leaked.

The assassin, unaware of the study’s target being fake.

Thus, the only reason must be that there exists something in the study that the assassin fears and avoids greatly.

Preventing him from being reckless.

Preferring to massacre around to distract the study’s occupants in hopes of luring the target out, creating a chance to strike...

Ironically, wasn’t this exactly the excuse I used previously.

This moment, Pei Zixing regrets bitterly, almost to the point of vomiting blood.

If only I knew, why pursue earlier actions?

Wouldn’t it be better to properly let two from Primordial Martial Arts Hall guard the Prefecture, and joining forces with several others?

But instead, thought too highly of my clever schemes and indulged in fancy tricks.

Played too aggressively and failed.

Pei Zixing now, with his right arm severed, after the harsh reality beating him, his mind becomes clear.

Obviously seizing the key to break the siege, understanding who the real savior is.

Chen Ping flashed his figure, left the window, gently reached out, and caught the golden bottle.

He opened the bottle, smelled it, only felt the peculiar fragrance rush through his nostrils, awakening his heart and spirit.

Just like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in hot midsummer, all pores relax...

"Good stuff."

Reclosing the cap, treasured and stored into the pocket, Chen Ping grinned widely: "What are you talking about, Chief Clerk? Entrusted by someone, loyal to that person.

You say whom to fight, and we fight, you say protect whom, and we protect, that’s how it should be."

While speaking slowly, his action wasn’t slow at all.

The long sword came out of its sheath, accompanied by a crisp sound, his figure like a swallow skimming over waves, drawing an extremely graceful arc, shooting above the fight between Shang Yinzhang and the Illusory Heart Sword.

In the air, chest in, back out, stretching waist...

The curled body bent into a reverse bow, suddenly opened wide, a sword swinging down carrying a roaring wind thunder sound.

[Set Yin and Yang]

A sword held lightly but fallen heavily.

It seemed that it wasn’t a seven or eight-pound Fine Steel Long Sword but a heavyweight guillotine of seventy or eighty thousand pounds.

Raised angry waves and winds, suddenly chopping down overhead.

The sword momentum hissing, air compressed, the two fighting on the ground simultaneously sinking, both feet falling into the dirt, their faces twitching feverishly, a sudden heart palpitation arises.

Silver Seal Chief Constable Shang Zheng not only didn’t fear, his heart cheered, disregarding his appearance.

Utilizing this pressure and blast force, protected by a single hook, rolling and jumping, he fled the sword circle with a swift sound.

Escaping the binds and assaults of the Blood Eye Assassin. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He already bore three sword marks, deep enough to see the bone.

A body packed with Mid-Stage Innate’s dense True Qi nearly broke, struggling to restore, unable to draw breath.

Continuing will lead to death within several breaths.

"So powerful."

Momentarily escaping danger, Shang Yinzhang felt deeply shaken.

Not surprised by the mightiness of Blood Eye Assassin’s Illusory Heart Sword, for such fame, to assassinate Earth List Expert, losing in a solo fight is expected.
