Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 376 - 386: Outsmart by a Step

Hey, it’s really divine!

After saving himself, he started to push his luck further, hoping Chu Feng would save the old eunuch.

However, he cleverly did not mention the Beixie National Master.

Because Chu Feng had said before that he wanted the Beixie National Master to die.

"So be it!"

Chu Feng had not planned to waste a Detoxification Pill, but thinking about keeping this old eunuch to check the Beixie Emperor, he agreed immediately. A Detoxification Pill popped out and fell into the old eunuch’s mouth.

"You can roll now!"

Chu Feng coldly commanded.

He did not kill the Beixie Emperor but merely controlled this person as a puppet emperor, which had profound significance and could maximize his own benefits.

This time, the Beixie Emperor did not say anything more, taking the old eunuch and, under the protection of his remnant soldiers, quickly fled. He ruthlessly abandoned the Beixie National Master.

Just then, a soldier from the Northern Beixie took advantage when unobserved.

Whoosh—An arrow doused in potent poison and bluish in hue shot toward the restrained Beixie National Master.

The soldier who acted had only the cultivation of an Early Stage Great Sword Master, but the military crossbow in his hands was specially made and belonged to the highly lethal type of strong crossbow.

The bolts fired were also specially made, much smaller than regular bolts, which could increase the assassination success rate.

Clearly, this strong crossbow was used by a professionally trained assassin. If this Northern Beixie soldier had not received instruction from the Beixie Emperor, would he dare to make such a poisonous attack on the Beixie National Master, a veteran of three dynasties?

"Emperors are heartless, indeed so!"

The Beixie Emperor must have been afraid that Chu Feng would secretly control the Beixie National Master and then threaten his throne. Hence, as soon as he escaped, he immediately ordered an assassination on the Beixie National Master.

"Hmph, thinking of assassinating him right in front of me, showing off meager skills in front of an expert!" Han Dong disdainfully swung his sword coldly, chopping the incoming poisoned arrow to the ground.

Han Dong, having inherited the Shadowless Sword Technique, was a top-notch assassin in the world.

His sense of killing intent was sharper than anyone else.

Moreover, he was extremely loyal to Chu Feng, always tightly guarding by Chu Feng’s side. Perhaps his only flaw was that his cultivation was too low.

However, with the help of Chu Feng, the reborn Eternal Life Pill Master, his cultivation was about to soar tremendously, as if cheating.

The soldier tasked with assassinating the Beixie National Master, seeing his attempt failed, immediately ran away.

"You think you can escape?" Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s face turned cold. Under his watch, someone dared to behave atrociously. They didn’t take him seriously at all.

The formidable and unparalleled Sword Domain immediately unfolded, enveloping the assassin within.

Then, a merciless crush.

The next second, this audacious and specially-trained assassin had already fallen into the hands of Pu Li.

"Hmm!"

Seeing he was captured, he bit hard, attempting to bite through the poison sack hidden inside his teeth to commit suicide.

Specially trained assassins like this would always have a poison sack implanted in their teeth beforehand. Failing their mission, they would take poison to kill themselves instantly.

"You still want to commit suicide in front of our sect?" If Pu Li couldn’t capture and prevent a suicide of an enemy of merely Early Stage Great Sword Master level, it would be a huge joke.

Pu Li directly grasped the soldier’s teeth, and with a pointed sword in hand, skillfully flicked out the poison sack.

Then he captured him and straightly threw him at the feet of Chu Feng.

"Thank you for your help, Sect Master!" Chu Feng bowed gratefully. Perhaps he was the only one who could enjoy such an honor.

Even the number one ranked True Disciple couldn’t enjoy this kind of treatment.

Chu Feng’s cold gaze fixed on the assassin.

"Actually, I don’t even need to interrogate you to know who sent you. Without the Beixie Emperor’s orders, you wouldn’t have the courage." Chu Feng said with a cold smirk.

The Beixie National Master gritted his teeth without uttering a word, but his face was obviously somber.

This person is indeed a rare talent.

Chu Feng was contemplating whether to kill him or not. It would be great if he could be subdued.

If he couldn’t be subdued, he absolutely couldn’t be left as a threat; he must be mercilessly eradicated.

The Beixie Emperor not only discarded the Beixie National Master but also sent someone to assassinate him. This old man, even if loyal to the Beixie Empire, must feel chilled to the bone. Between him and the Beixie Emperor, a rift had already formed.

Chu Feng squatted down, staring at the Beixie National Master’s ashen face.

This stubborn old man said coldly, "If you think of winning me over, you might as well give up that hope. Kill or cut as you please—I submit to your will!"

"Heh, life or death, it’s all your choice. Those who follow me prosper; those who defy me perish!" Chu Feng said, and then gave Han Dong a signal with his eyes. "Take this old man over there. I want to persuade him alone."

The restrained assassin was thrown on the ground, ignored by all.

Seemingly unnoticed by everyone.

"Sect Master, you take people and go ahead. I will catch up in a moment!" Chu Feng told the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

With too many eyes and a chaotic scene, it was difficult to act.

Chu Feng needed to exert some effort and thought to subdue the Beixie National Master.

The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect quickly left with his people, but he was somewhat worried about Chu Feng’s safety. He directly left a Supreme Elder at the Sword God Level to secretly protect him.

After confirming that Chu Feng is the inheritor of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, the highest levels of the sect truly treasured him, fearing any mishap might happen to him.

Chu Feng stayed in a nearby forest with the Beixie National Master for a while.

Not long after, Han Dong came out of the grove with a happy face.

"Han Dong, did the master subdue the Beixie National Master?" Li Shishi asked.

"Hmm, after employing some tactics, the Beixie National Master has submitted. And he agreed to help our master confront the Beixie Emperor..." Han Dong seemed to suddenly realize he misspoke and immediately shut up.

"Let’s go! Master is already leading with the Beixie National Master at the front." Han Dong told Li Shishi and the others.

"What about this assassin?" Li Shishi asked.

"Master instructed me to kill him, to prevent any leak of information!" Han Dong stabbed the assassin with a sword, who screamed tragically and lay motionless. "Let’s go!"

The group quickly departed.

Sometime after Han Dong and the others left, the assassin miraculously came back to life.

"Humph, lucky for me, I shifted three inches to the left at the critical moment, or I would have been stabbed through the heart and truly dead! The Beixie National Master has submitted to Chu Feng and plans to confront His Majesty, this news, I must immediately take it back."

Struggling, the assassin got up from the ground and began his difficult descent from Lonely Thunder Peak. With nightfall approaching, it provided him the best cover.

Just a short time after the assassin left Lonely Thunder Peak, a figure shot out from the darkness, also flying rapidly towards the Beixie Empire.

This person was none other than Han Dong.

This assassin thought himself clever, little did he know, everything was within Chu Feng’s calculations.
