Chapter 113 Reverse Beheading
Some cabin.
The five blood clan elders gathered together.
After assassinating several Daxia officials one after another.
They achieved a major high-level decapitation.
"The death of the vice president of the Daxia Association is enough to undermine the morale of the Daxia Association, and this is just the beginning!"
A middle-aged white man with dark brown hair said, "We must make these damn inferior people forever shrouded in death and fear, so as to completely destroy their fighting spirit!"
This man's name is Rupert.
The strongest among the five blood elders.
Possessing the realm of a great elder of the blood clan.
Probably comparable to the Grand Master of Dajing.
In terms of personal strength, he is slightly stronger than Morton.
Rupert served as the chief secretary to the Governor-General of India for a long time.
Like Morton, he is Nathaniel's right-hand man and close partner.
However, Sir Morton has stronger comprehensive abilities and is more suitable to be independent, so he was sent to Dajing to be responsible for safeguarding the empire's commercial interests here.
If it weren't for the accidental death.
After Nathaniel is transferred.
Morton may replace the latter and become a strong candidate for the new Governor-General of India.
Although Rupert is not a talented commander, he is a top tactical expert with strong execution and strength, so he has always been with Nathaniel.
After he was ordered to come to Guangzhou.
The intelligence network was activated immediately.
This intelligence network was created by Morton over a period of several years.
Its intelligence sources cover the entire provincial capital, sufficient to provide a large amount of accurate information.
Although the blood clan forces in the provincial capital are suppressed by the Martial Alliance, they still have many people available and are a strong force.
Rupert: "My dear friend Sir Morton is a man of great talent, noble blood and bright future. It is outrageous that he died in this ignorant place!"
"My Lord Rupert, I am sorry."
"We have found out the identity of the murderer!"
“Although it was the Wumeng who killed Sir Morton, the real culprit was a Dajing man named Yu Xiao!”
"Wait until the Marquis's mission is completed."
"We must avenge Sir Morton!"
"Let him pay a heavy price and regret coming into this world!"
"..."
Rupert nodded.
Of course he checked Yu Xiao.
The martial arts alliance founded by this person is indeed a trouble.
There are now nearly twenty first-grade and upper third-grade great warriors in total, nearly two hundred in total. Although it is difficult to shake them head-on, with Rupert's strength, plus the powerful mobility of the four blood elders, it is more than enough to deal with Yu Xiao alone!
"hehe!"
A voice sounded very abruptly.
"Want to avenge Morton? Why wait so long? The opportunity is right in front of you, but I don't know if you can seize it."
"who!"
Rupert and others were shocked.
This is a top-secret temporary safe house.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for anyone to find this place.
The five blood elders didn't think too much. They immediately turned into blood mist, flew out of the doors and windows and fell outside.
Near the cottage.
I don't know when it was shrouded by thick fog.
Rupert only felt that the fog was not formed naturally, and it was most likely some unknown magic or secret technique, and the person who was able to do this was definitely not an ordinary person.
A figure emerged from the mist. It was Yu Xiao who had found him through tracking techniques.
"You are... Yu Xiao!"
Rupert was shocked.
I didn't expect that I didn't go find him.
This guy came to me on his own initiative.
Yu Xiao said calmly: "I killed Morton with my own hands, just as I will kill all of you next."
"Just you?" Rupert condensed his blood and energy into a spear, threw it out like lightning, and instantly pierced through the figure. The speed was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to react.
however.
It's a phantom.
The moment of touch.
It disappeared like a bubble.
Rupert was vaguely uneasy: "This Dajing guy is well prepared. Don't confront him head-on. Split up and get out of here first!"
have to say.
Rupert was decisive.
He believed that Yu Xiao was definitely not a fool.
Otherwise, how could he find this place? And he must have the confidence to show up!
Although the five of them are strong.
But this was behind enemy lines.
In this situation, once the identity is exposed, the first thing to consider is not counterattack, but to find a way to escape as quickly as possible and then lie dormant again.
The five people decisively turned into blood bats and moved in different directions, but what made them terrified and confused was.
The fog is endless.
It couldn't fly out at all.
Yu Xiao is already a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training.
The power of Misty Bagua is naturally stronger than the fourth level of Qi Refining!
Not only were the five blood elders unable to break out, they were trapped in various places in the formation in a scattered manner, giving Yu Xiao the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
"what!"
A blood elder screamed.
Half of the sharp sword blade pierced through his chest, and the blow directly pierced the vital point.
"First!"
Yu Xiao discovered that if he mastered the art of concealing his breath, with the help of formations and invisibility, even if he walked in front of the vampires, the latter would not be able to detect him, and there was no need for any fancy tricks.
Green sword in hand.
Kill with one sword.
Simple and straightforward.
"the second!"
"The third!"
"the fourth!"
Yu Xiao was as ghostly as a ghost and killed the four blood elders effortlessly!
It was obvious that several people died with their eyes open!
These blood clan elders, each of them was a flesh-refining master of considerable stature, and were also the most powerful people in the world. Yet at this moment, they were crushed to death so carelessly as if they were an ant!
Kill the four blood elders.
Only Rupert, the strongest one, is left.
Rupert was also trapped, but because of his high cultivation and stronger perception, when he realized the danger, he instantly turned into hundreds of bats and avoided the Qingmang Sword.
Yu Xiao stabbed the air with his sword.
"Two times!"
While talking.
Urge the green light to pursue.
Tearing dozens of bats to pieces.
But there is no real Rupert.
This person's escape skills are obviously several times better than Wilson's.
Yu Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.
Be aware of your own shortcomings.
If you encounter an opponent who is particularly good at stealth and illusion, you will be at a disadvantage.
Yu Xiao doesn't allow himself to have any shortcomings, so the next time he returns to the sect, he has to find a related secret technique to practice.
After Rupert transformed into a group of bats, he did not flee around, but surrounded Yu Xiao. After the previous confrontation, he obviously realized that he could not escape from this place!
The only way.
Kill this guy in front of you!
Although Yu Xiao controlled the Qingmang Sword to attack continuously, he was unable to force his true body out, and Rupert hid among the bats looking for flaws.
The two sides reached a stalemate.
It lasted about ten seconds.
Rupert finally found a flaw.
At this time, the Qingmang Sword had flown far away and could not be returned to defend in time.
He revealed his true form from the swarm of bats, holding a blood-red spear in both hands, and stabbed at the bat's back with lightning speed.
"Success!"
When the blood spear was less than half a foot away from Yu Xiao.
Rupert knew that the opponent could not avoid this attack.
To know.
As a great blood clan elder.
An all-out and desperate attack is enough to pose a threat to a great master-level expert.
however.
Just as Rupert thought.
When it seemed that the attack was sure to succeed and Yu Xiao would die, a red light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
next moment.
A red shield appeared out of nowhere.
Rupert's blood spear hit the shield, but not only did it fail to pierce it, it was instead shattered into pieces.
at the same time.
Yu Xiao's blood boiled like wolf smoke, and he punched out at a speed that Rupert could not believe.
The body-refining exercises were not activated.
It was just a pure attack to enhance blood and energy.
Its terrifying power is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
The grandmaster's punch was equivalent to a blow from a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining. The punch was so fast and powerful that it instantly caused a gas explosion in the air, and Rupert flew forty or fifty meters away.
Almost instantly.
The bats in the sky scattered.
Rupert crashes through the safe house wall and falls inside.
At this moment, all his ribs were broken, his internal organs were severely hit, and the most fatal part, his heart, was also seriously damaged.
Even if the vampires' powerful vitality prevents them from dying immediately, they will lose the ability to resist in a short period of time.
"Grandmaster... Impossible!"
Rupert was filled with shock at this moment. He couldn't imagine that Yu Xiao not only had powerful magic power, but was also a grandmaster who almost stood at the pinnacle of Dajing martial arts!
Based on intelligence.
He is only in his twenties!
How is it possible to become a grandmaster at this age?
Before Rupert had time to think, a green light suddenly came and nailed him to the ground!
Yu Xiao walked in with his hands behind his back.
In stark contrast to Rupert's embarrassment, he was unscathed from head to toe, even his clothes were spotless, and coupled with the otherworldly temperament of an immortal cultivator, he looked like a banished immortal walking in the human world.
"Nathaniel sent you!"
"Don't even think about getting any useful information from me!"
"Well, you are loyal, but do you think I have no other options if you don't tell me?"
"What do you mean?"
Yu Xiao did not explain much.
Place a talisman on Rupert's forehead.
This is a "hypnotic talisman" that Yu Xiao purchased from the monk's shop in Yunxi Town.
The hypnotic talisman is a more advanced talisman that requires the middle stage of Qi Refining to activate. Its effect, as the name suggests, is to create a temporary hypnotic effect.
of course.
This kind of hypnosis.
It's not 100% successful.
Generally, ideal results can only be achieved when the practitioner is much taller than the target or the target is in an extremely weak state.
Rupert was seriously injured and close to death.
And they are not mentally prepared for the means.
When Yu Xiao activated the hypnotic talisman, he quickly entered a hypnotic state.
Next.
Yu Xiao asked.
Rupert just answered.
As Nathaniel's chief secretary, this person is the most important confidant in the highest position and naturally knows almost all the secrets.
From Nathaniel’s strength, to how many masters are around him, as well as his current place of residence, range of activities, and even his means and abilities.
All clearly stated.
And described by Rupert.
Yu Xiao realized that his speculation was correct.
George Nathaniel is the youngest known blood prince in the entire British Empire, and his strength can even be ranked among the top five in the empire.
Not only that, he is also surrounded by eight blood elders, two hundred high-level blood clans, and three hundred extraordinary masters from India and Southeast Asia.
What a strong lineup!
This is only the power that Nathaniel possesses, and the port city itself is also stationed with a large number of English troops and masters.
Yu Xiao continued to dig for intelligence.
Take a closer look at Nathaniel.
Although Yu Xiao has not met Nathaniel yet, this valuable information is enough to make him the stranger who knows Nathaniel best in the world.
Don't talk about abilities and means.
Now it was clear what type of woman or man Nathaniel liked to sleep with.
Yu Xiao asked about the military deployment again.
England would not miss any opportunity to invade and plunder.
When the Dajing government army and the Daxia volunteer army were confronting and fighting on the border between Huguang and Guangdong.
confusion!
It's an opportunity!
And Nathaniel saw an opportunity.
He decisively seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He left his post as Governor-General of India ahead of schedule to serve as the supreme military commander in the Far East. It turned out that this was not an arrangement by the empire but the result of his own initiative.
"Under Lord Nathaniel's deployment, dozens of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, etc. from the major military bases in the Far East have been assembled on Xinpo Island and will soon arrive at the Port City Base..."
Under the effect of hypnosis.
Rupert told the whole story.
Yu Xiao used this to understand Nathaniel's entire military plan.
In the next few days, Nathaniel will launch a military operation under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion for Dajing and avenging Sir Morton.
First occupy several beaches and ports in Guangyue Bay.
Guangyue Bay is the gateway to the Pearl River Delta. It has port facilities that can be used for landing, and the nearby flat terrain is suitable for attack.
When the British army successfully landed and consolidated the beachhead, they would advance along the Pearl River, use warships and artillery to open the gates, thereby occupying inland cities and quickly encircling Guangzhou.
Nathaniel would send Rupert and others to assassinate the top leaders of the Daxia Association in advance, in fact, to cooperate with the grand strategy.
The main force of Daxia Club.
Being on guard against Jingting officers and soldiers.
If they could create chaos in the rear and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack quickly, they could easily capture large areas of the city.
Although the British were under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion for the Jing court.
But once the army comes in, how easy will it be to get them to leave?
Even if Jingting can suppress the Daxia uprising in the future, most of the urban land in Guangyue will probably fall under the control of the British in the process.
The two sides will be caught in a lengthy negotiation.
Given Jingting’s weakness and appeasement, there is a high probability that large tracts of land, ports, and cities will be ceded in the name of leasing, turning them into new colonies.
With this achievement.
Plus the resume of the Governor-General of India.
After Nathaniel returned to London.
What he wanted was not just a minister of state, but the chief prime minister.
"What a good calculation!"
Yu Xiao also had to admit that Nathaniel was a hero. His ability to seize opportunities so keenly and then take decisive action was enough to demonstrate his vision, courage, and means.
If there was no Yu Xiao.
There is really a good chance of success!
but.
No if.
If Nathaniel succeeds, it will not only bring huge pressure to Daxia, but it will also be completely against Yu Xiao's personal interests.
Besides that!
Yu Xiao collected some more information.
For example, the English intelligence network controlled by Rupert, and the few remaining vampire hiding places in Guangzhou.
These ones.
They are all very important!
With this, Daxia will be able to destroy the spies planted by the British among all classes, and the Martial Alliance will also be able to carry out precise strikes against the dormant vampires.
This is the end.
almost.
There is no more valuable information.
As Yu Xiao's magic power was about to be exhausted, the effect of hypnosis weakened. Rupert regained consciousness briefly, and his face quickly showed fear and despair.
"you……"
"Thanks for your cooperation."
"You are simply a devil!"
Yu Xiao showed no mercy and killed it with a single sword.
Remove the bloody sperm.
A total of five were obtained.
All of them are blood stones of extremely high quality.
These blood essence stones can be refined into blood marrow pills, plus the remaining blood marrow pills in his hand, which are enough for Yu Xiao to practice to the great perfection of marrow refining.
Not a bad harvest!
After Yu Xiao went back.
Contact Daxia Association as soon as possible.
Passed on Nathaniel's plan.
When the top leaders of the Daxia Association learned of Nathaniel's deployment, they were all shocked.
Although we had guessed that foreign forces would intervene and had set up plans for this, no one expected that they would act so quickly!
Song Zhibai said to Yu Xiao: "Thank you for the information provided by Mr. Yu. We will immediately strengthen the defense of several major ports and beaches in Guangyue Bay."
Yu Xiao said at this time: "Although we intercepted the intelligence in advance and set up an ambush, we can effectively block it for a period of time.
But Nathaniel's army was not small, and he mobilized dozens of warships and countless advanced weapons.
How are you going to deal with him?"
Song Zhibai sighed and said, "It is definitely not easy to resist for a long time. After all, it is already very difficult for us to deal with the Jingting soldiers. At this time, we must avoid opening up a second battlefield..."
"The only solution now is to make the English intentions known, and then use public opinion to confront them, while seeking checks and balances from international anti-British forces."
The great powers united to divide up the great landscape.
But they are not a monolithic entity.
If you eat one more bite, I will eat one less bite. It’s a very simple truth.
Once England's attempt to bypass other powers and directly swallow up Dajing is exposed in advance, neither England's old enemies nor other powers that are also plundering Dajing will sit idly by.
Yu Xiao commented: "This move will muddy the waters and may contain Nathaniel, but it will not fundamentally solve the problem."
Song Zhibai: "Under the current situation, we can only take one step at a time."
At this time, Yu Xiao said, "What if Nathaniel died suddenly?"
Song Zhibai: "This man is the instigator. If he is killed, it will cause unrest in England. At least there will be no worries in the short term!"
however.
Speaking of which.
Song Zhibai shook his head.
How easy is it to take the enemy commander's life among three armies?
Not to mention that this person is most likely an unrivaled strong man, and he must be surrounded by many experts and is on high alert.
The environment in Hong Kong City is not as good as that in Guangzhou.
It is extremely difficult to infiltrate.
Therefore, in Song Zhibai's view, although assassination is the best solution, it is too difficult to implement and has almost no chance of success.
however.
Yu Xiao didn't think so.
One of his main goals in returning this time was to kill Nathaniel in order to gain the opportunity to quickly break through to the level of Refining Martial Saint.
but.
Judging from the intelligence we have now.
Nathaniel's strength, methods, and the masters around him are indeed more powerful than imagined.
Want to kill him.
The difficulty is high.
It is tantamount to taking the general's head from among thousands of soldiers.
Even though Yu Xiao possesses the means to cultivate immortality, there are still some risks, and the chance of success is only about 60 to 70 percent.
if it fails.
Yu Xiao is confident that he can save his life.
But Nathaniel was prepared.
It will be even more difficult to take action again!
You only get one chance.
Must cherish it!
Since the success rate is not ideal, let's find a way to increase it.
For example.
It will be promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
If you have the magical power of the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Then the success rate can be raised by one or two levels!
