Chapter 266: Chapter 197: Something’s wrong! Very wrong!_1

After nightfall, some people dressed in black clothes were constantly running through the streets, their speed was very fast, and almost every one of them had the strength above Ninth Grade.

Lu Chen stood in the room, glanced down at his all-black attire, and then said with a smile, “I never thought I, a prince, would stoop to wearing the kind of clothes a thief would wear.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin asked, “Chen’er, are you really going out?”

Chu Yuqin was also aware of tonight’s operation and was somewhat worried inside because she had heard that among the people coming to assassinate Lu Chen, there might be an Extreme Realm Master.

An Extreme Realm Master was the closest existence to a Grandmaster, and once they made their move, even a Grandmaster might sometimes suffer at their hands.

Lu Chen turned his head to look at Chu Yuqin and said, “Madam Chu, rest assured, I won’t make the first move. Xuanyuan Chen and Wenren Lie will take action when the time comes.”

“Besides, there’s only one Extreme Realm Master on the other side, it’s not a big problem.”

Chu Yuqin sighed slightly, not knowing what to say. She hated that her own strength was still too weak to protect Lu Chen.

At that moment, Chu Yuqin thought of Bai Qingqing and said, “Chen’er, let Bai come with you. In case of any danger, Bai can still block for you.”

Lu Chen, while adjusting his cuffs, said, “No need, it’s better for Bai to stay and protect Zixuan and the others in the Prince’s Mansion. What I fear most is that an assassin might slip in.”

Having said that, Lu Chen gazed into Chu Yuqin’s eyes and said, “Madam Chu, I leave everything in the Prince’s Mansion to you. I’m going now.”

Chu Yuqin said, “Alright, rest assured, I will protect Zixuan and the others.”

Lu Chen said no more, immediately covered his mouth with a piece of black cloth, and in an instant, he turned into the appearance of a black-clothed assassin.

Since the operation was on the streets rather than inside the Prince’s Mansion tonight, Lu Chen was also worried about being recognized, so they all dressed uniformly in black nightclothes.

However, they had white cloth strips on their wrists, allowing them to be easily identified as allies.

The moonlight was very bright tonight; even without the brightness of lanterns, people could still see the road clearly.

At this moment, some shadows were swiftly moving across the rooftops of the common people’s houses, and just as these shadows were about to reach the North Prince Mansion, suddenly, some other individuals in black stopped these shadows in their tracks.

The two groups descended from the rooftops and faced off in the street.

Seeing those people in black at a distance, Su Teng directly said, “Gentlemen, our goal is likely the same, so why don’t we act together?”

“We just need the North Prince dead. As for the disposal of his body, you can do as you please.”

Most assassins needed to bring back the heads of their targets to complete their tasks, but the Spirit Martial Tower didn’t need the North Prince’s head, they just needed him dead. So, Su Teng was offering up the body to avoid conflict with these people.

However, after hearing Su Teng’s words, those in black remained unmoved.

Su Teng immediately felt that something was amiss; even if these people didn’t agree with his proposal, it didn’t make sense for them to say nothing at all. Something was seriously wrong!

Big trouble!

Just then, on the rooftops far away, suddenly appeared some individuals in black wielding bows and arrows.

Before Su Teng could speak, those in black loosed their arrows.

Looking at the sky filled with arrows, Su Teng instantly realized that these people in black clothes were not assassins coming to kill the North Prince, they were likely his protectors.

Su Teng immediately said, “We’ve been discovered, attack with full force!”

Upon hearing Su Teng’s words, the assassins of Spirit Martial Tower immediately rushed toward the people in black not far away, but those in black didn’t immediately counterattack. Instead, they pulled out some round iron balls and threw them at the assassins of Spirit Martial Tower.

The assassins from Spirit Martial Tower thought these were some kind of hidden weapons and, as they were about to split the iron balls in half with their swords or kick them back, the iron balls exploded with a thunderous roar, instantly taking down a large number of Spirit Martial Tower assassins, even Ninth Grade martial artists were killed on the spot.

Seeing this, Su Teng frowned, he hadn’t expected these iron balls to be so terrifyingly powerful.

Something was off!

Very off! freewebnσvel.cøm

After all, Su Teng was the Pavilion Master of Spirit Martial Tower, and he didn’t reach his position solely through strength.

Su Teng immediately said, “Retreat!”

Hearing Su Teng’s command, the assassins from Spirit Martial Tower quickly began to retreat, no longer intending to press forward.

Su Teng had basically guessed why North City had been able to defeat three hundred thousand soldiers of the Barbarian Tribe, and how Blood Moon Tower had suffered a setback at the North Prince Mansion.

North City had already obtained a terrifying weapon, and it was one that could easily kill a Ninth Grade Martial Artist. If it were a matter of human strength, even a Grandmaster might not be able to easily kill a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.

Looking at the other side, it seemed that even ordinary people could use this weapon, the lethality and killing effect of which were far above those of a Grandmaster-level fighter.

Su Teng felt like cursing inside. He had thought this would be an extremely simple mission, yet he had stumbled upon the North City’s big secret.

Now he was in trouble; having seen North City’s secret weapon, they certainly wouldn’t let them leave easily.

Even though he felt somewhat troubled, Su Teng was not overly worried in his heart. After all, he was a fighter of the Master Realm, and even if he couldn’t assassinate the North Prince, he still could escape with ease under these circumstances.

Seeing Su Teng and the assassins from the Spirit Martial Tower trying to flee, the soldiers from the North Country immediately followed them and continued to throw grenades at them.

Su Teng felt that if things continued this way, maybe they wouldn’t even reach the city gates before all the assassins he brought were killed by that mysterious weapon.

He immediately said to the assassin beside him, “Give me all the broken silver you have on you.”

Hearing this, the assassins around him immediately took out their broken silver and handed it to Su Teng.

Su Teng took their broken silver, then turned his head and, with his fingers pinching the pieces, he seemed to throw them casually. The next moment, all the grenades flying towards them exploded in midair.

Seeing this, Lu Chen not far away was stunned. Was this the power of an Extreme Realm Master? It was terrifying.

He had also reached the Master Realm, so why didn’t he possess such strength?

In fact, if it had been Lu Chen, he could have easily knocked down those flying grenades with stones. However, Lu Chen had depleted his physical strength on his wives and concubines and had hardly experienced real combat. Therefore, he did not understand his own strength at all.

Seeing those people getting further and further away, Lu Chen frowned slightly. This wouldn’t do. If that guy could knock down all those grenades with silver, could he also dodge his Barrett bullets?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen glanced at the assassins from the Spirit Martial Tower. Along with Su Teng, there were a total of three Grandmasters. It seemed that the Aristocratic Family had really invested heavily this time.

Lu Chen then took out his Barrett. Su Teng, being an Extreme Realm Master, could definitely dodge the bullets, but the other two ordinary Grandmasters might not be able to.

Lu Chen planned to deal with the other two Grandmasters first and then take care of Su Teng.

After taking out his Barrett, Lu Chen quickly aimed at a Grandmaster beside Su Teng and immediately pulled the trigger.

The Grandmaster had very strong perception. After experiencing the power of the grenades, he sensed the danger and dodged immediately, without trying to catch or deflect the bullet with his hand or knife.

The next moment, the bullet from the Barrett hit the ground, creating a huge hole.

Seeing the hole in the ground, Su Teng said coldly, “I didn’t expect someone to be using hidden weapons from afar. It seems they had guessed we would come, so they laid an ambush here.”

Seeing the first Grandmaster dodge, Lu Chen didn’t rush. He continued to aim at that Grandmaster.

It was no surprise that a Grandmaster with strong perception could dodge a bullet.

To hit a Grandmaster, either the Grandmaster had to be arrogant, or the Grandmaster had to be restrained by others, unable to use all of their attention to sense the dangers around them.

The assassins from the Spirit Martial Tower were obviously not arrogant. If they had been, they wouldn’t have retreated as soon as they saw the grenades.

Since grenades and Barrett bullets couldn’t harm them, it was time for Qin Yushan and his men to enter the scene.

Just as the assassins from the Spirit Martial Tower were about to run out of the street they were on, suddenly, at the intersection of this street and another, a man dragging a big saber walked out slowly.

The man didn’t wear the black night clothes like Lu Chen’s; under the moonlight, his face was clearly visible.

Seeing the man not far away, Su Teng’s heart jolted. He immediately ordered everyone to stop.

At that moment, Qin Yushan spoke, “Pavilion Master Su, when did you start liking to hide? Is it because the scar on your face is too obvious, and you’re afraid of being seen by others?”

Hearing this familiar voice, Su Teng tore off the cloth from his face and looked at Qin Yushan, sneering, “Blood Demon Mad Blade, interesting. You sure have a big life, not even dying after falling off a cliff!”

The two had fought before, and the scar on Su Teng’s face was caused by Qin Yushan. After that battle, Qin Yushan fell off a cliff, disappearing from the martial world ever since.

Everyone thought Qin Yushan was dead, and that was what Su Teng believed, too. After all, with so many wounds and falling from such a high cliff, it was impossible to survive. Su Teng never expected to see Qin Yushan again in the North Country.

Qin Yushan put the big saber on his shoulder and said, “The heavens didn’t let me die, what could I do?”

Su Teng replied coldly, “Last time I didn’t kill you, this time I’ll send you on your way!”

As he spoke, the knife in Su Teng’s hand emitted a sonorous sound, and Qin Yushan’s big saber on his shoulder, as if sensing it, resonated and also started to tremble nonstop.

Seeing this, Lu Chen suddenly became interested. He was no longer in a rush to shoot and simply squatted on the rooftop, watching.
