I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 239: Contingency Plan

Tried it out?

Chen Qi wished he could spit a mouthful of blood at Zhang Yuan’s face, to choke this insidious and cunning guy to death.

He thought Zhang Yuan had already discovered his secret, which is why he ruthlessly struck so hard.

He never imagined that Zhang Yuan would severely injure him just to test him.

At this moment, Chen Qi truly felt utterly hopeless.

He laughed miserably, "I truly underestimated you, I concede, give me a swift end!"

Underestimated?

Zhang Yuan shook his head disdainfully.

It wasn’t that Chen Qi underestimated him.

It was that this spy leader overestimated himself!

In fact, from the first contact, Zhang Yuan never fully trusted him.

Before coming to the Great Dream Marsh, all the intelligence Zhang Yuan had was provided by Chen Qi, and he had to rely on the latter even after arriving.

This meant that whatever Chen Qi said, Zhang Yuan found it hard to verify its truth.

After all, Zhang Yuan was a stranger in the Great Dream Marsh, without any connections or foundation.

Conversely, Chen Qi could easily craft an information cocoon for him.

Allowing Zhang Yuan to only know what Chen Qi wanted him to know!

This would undoubtedly be extremely passive.

It was precisely to break free from being controlled by someone’s information source that Zhang Yuan agreed to Shuisheng’s request.

To teach him martial arts.

He needed a new intelligence channel.

Even if Shuisheng’s abilities were far inferior to Chen Qi’s, it was better than relying on a single channel.

Perhaps Chen Qi noticed this, which is why he made a move against him!

But this spy leader would never have imagined that every time Zhang Yuan met with him, the Red-eyed Crow was hovering high in the sky, monitoring him.

After they parted ways, Chen Qi’s movements were all closely watched by this advanced servant spirit.

As a result, Zhang Yuan was very aware of his hiding place.

Moreover, Chen Qi disguised himself when he met with the Brother Gang.

Pang Xiong’s confession couldn’t directly point to Chen Qi.

But Zhang Yuan was not a judge, he didn’t need a complete chain of evidence.

His suspicion towards Chen Qi was enough!

The outcome also proved that this spy leader was the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Zhang Yuan.

The Gu Poison was also provided by Chen Qi.

"No problem giving you a swift end."

Zhang Yuan replied calmly, "As long as you tell me what I want to know, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve already betrayed and sided with Yan Wushuang, right?"

If Chen Qi hadn’t betrayed, why would he go against Zhang Yuan?

Zhang Yuan suspected that it was precisely because of Chen Qi’s betrayal that the operation of experts sent by Han Zixun failed.

"I just wanted to survive."

Chen Qi’s smile turned extremely bitter, suddenly he roared, "I don’t want to die!"

In his agitated state, he revealed the reason for his betrayal.

Originally, in the second year of coming to the Great Dream Marsh, Chen Qi was discovered by Yan Wushuang who came to find him.

Even though Yan Wushuang was under the Sealing Talisman, he was still a Celestial Pride Level Tier Four Martial Artist, Chen Qi was no match.

But Yan Wushuang did not kill him and gave him a choice to survive.

What other choice did Chen Qi have?

Just as he said, he wanted to live.

Over the years, Chen Qi had been passing intelligence to Xia Ruins.

But this intelligence was all filtered by Yan Wushuang, essentially the latter telling Han Zixun the news.

Due to Yan Wushuang’s very clever methods.

So Han Zixun never detected Chen Qi’s betrayal.

This spy leader managed to persist until now!

"Don’t think you’re so great..."

Chen Qi muttered, his face gradually turned mysterious, but his eyes were slowly dispersing.

"Young Master Yan is much stronger than you, he will avenge me, then you will know what it means to wish for death!"

Just as he was saying the word "death".

Dark red blood stripes appeared simultaneously on Chen Qi’s face and neck.

He suddenly opened his mouth, and a flash of blood light shot out.

It shot towards Zhang Yuan like lightning!

But Zhang Yuan had already sensed the danger and was about to dodge.

Unexpectedly, the blood light changed direction in mid-air three feet away from him.

Landing on the table beside him.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan saw the true form of the blood light.

To his surprise, it was a centipede nearly a foot long!

The blood-red centipede raised its upper body, making a "hiss" sound at Zhang Yuan.

Its curved mandibles clashed, creating a chilling friction.

Closer observation revealed that on its head, there was even a distorted pattern of a human face.

This blood centipede clearly intended to attack Zhang Yuan again.

But it also seemed to be very wary of Zhang Yuan, poised to attack but not acting immediately.

Zhang Yuan’s expression was solemn as he drew his General-Slaying Saber and slashed at the venomous insect.

There was a flash of the blade, and the blood centipede on the table was instantly cut in two!

But it did not die, its upper and lower halves writhing violently, struggling incessantly on the table.

Zhang Yuan slashed again, reducing it to mush.

The blood centipede then turned into two pools of foul blood, corroding the tabletop with a sizzling sound, even emitting wisps of gray smoke!

There’s no doubt, its body contained strong poison.

Thankfully, Zhang Yuan had infused Innate True Qi into the General-Slaying Saber, slashing with only its aura.

So the blade wasn’t tainted by poison.

If it had been corroded to the point of having gaps, that would truly be regrettable!

Zhang Yuan hadn’t expected such a large venomous centipede to be hidden inside Chen Qi’s body.

When he looked again at this spy leader, he found the latter lying face up, eyes wide open.

He had already completely stopped breathing.

Not only that, the face of the corpse was covered in dark spots, making it unrecognizable!

A moment later, Chen Qi’s body began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The room was instantly filled with a strong foul stench.

Zhang Yuan quickly exited the house.

Even though he had tracked down the mastermind, eliminating a potential major threat.

He was still unable to extract Yan Wushuang’s whereabouts from Chen Qi.

Thinking of a Celestial Pride individual with unfathomable strength possibly watching him from the shadows.

Zhang Yuan felt a heaviness settle in his heart!

Should he leave?

Zhang Yuan hadn’t intended to kill Chen Qi immediately, wanting to use the latter to lure out Yan Wushuang.

However, Yan Wushuang’s methods were far more sophisticated than he had imagined.

He had set up a contingency on Chen Qi.

A foe like this would definitely be challenging to deal with!

Zhang Yuan now leaving the Great Dream Marsh was entirely justifiable, after all, even Chen Qi had betrayed.

He returned to Xia Ruins, and surely Han Zixun would understand.

Only, the mission rewards would certainly be gone.

But to leave in such a disgraced manner, how could Zhang Yuan be willing!

Thinking it over, he quietly left this place.

Then, Zhang Yuan went to a pharmacy on Great Chen Island to purchase medicinal herbs and ointment for healing.

Then returned to Shuisheng’s secret hideout.

On the way back, he took out a shimmering pearl from his pocket.

This pearl was obtained from the giant eel in the Forest Lake.

Previously, Zhang Yuan wasn’t sure of its use.

Now he discovered the problem!
