"kill?"
Liu Su was slightly stunned when she heard Lin Jiangnian's words.
"Kill who?"
Lin Jiangnian looked up at the valley not far ahead. After a moment, he slowly spoke and said a name: "Great Protector of the Secret Heaven Division!"
"Zhao Changyuan!"
Hearing this name, Liu Su was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised her eyes to look forward, and then her gaze fell on Lin Jiangnian's face.
"You want to kill him?!"
Liu Su looked suspicious: "Do you have a grudge against him?"
"No."
"Um?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Liu Su and said calmly, "If there's no grudge, can't we just kill him?"
Liu Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said expressionlessly, "Do you know the consequences of killing him?"
The great protector of the Secret Heaven Division is no simple person.
He is the actual person in charge of the Secret Heaven Division and a close confidant of the old eunuch in the palace. More importantly, this great guardian's martial arts skills are not weak!
"What will be the consequences?"
Lin Jiang asked back with a young smile.
Liu Su stared at Lin Jiangnian's face for a while, then suddenly thought of something and narrowed her eyes: "So, not long ago..."
"Chen Feiyang, was he also killed by you?!"
Liu Su quickly recalled the assassination that occurred in the capital a few days ago. The Mi Tiansi was attacked in the west of the city, resulting in heavy casualties. One of the Mi Tiansi's protectors, Chen Feiyang, was assassinated and killed.
These days, the Secret Service has been digging deep in Beijing to find clues about the murderer, causing a sensation in the city. Naturally, Liu Su heard about it and paid some attention to it.
At first, she hadn't connected these things to Lin Jiangnian. After all, there was almost no conflict between Lin Jiangnian and the Secret Heaven Division. But now, when she suddenly heard Lin Jiangnian say he wanted to kill the Secret Heaven Division's Great Protector, Liu Su immediately connected the dots...
He even wants to kill the Great Protector, so Chen Feiyang must be...
More importantly, as the emperor's personal guard, the Secret Guards held immense power and prestige in the capital. Ordinary people wouldn't dare provoke them, fearing they'd get into trouble, let alone assassinate them in public.
He even killed a guardian of a very high status? !
This move is extremely arrogant!
Also extremely rampant!
And this indeed seems to be something this guy in front of me can do...
Facing Liu Su's sudden question, Lin Jiangnian did not hide anything and nodded: "I killed him."
Liu Su suddenly realized, narrowed her eyes, and stared at him with burning eyes: "Why did you kill them?"
"Mi Tiansi, there doesn't seem to be any conflict between us, right?"
"If there is no conflict, can't we kill?"
Lin Jiangnian gave Liu Su a harmless smile.
Liu Su had a blank expression on her face; she naturally didn't believe it.
She knew Lin Jiangnian. This guy was very thoughtful and calculating. He would never do anything useless or to cause trouble.
"Stop guessing!"
Seeing Liu Su staring at him with a suspicious look, Lin Jiangnian sighed: "If I kill them, you can understand it as enforcing justice. Of course, you can also think of it as me eliminating dissidents and taking the initiative!"
Doing justice for the heavens?
Liu Su naturally didn't believe it.
She didn't believe that this guy would be so leisurely.
Eliminate dissidents?
This is... not impossible!
"That eunuch Chen in the palace is no ordinary person. If he and I ever have a conflict in the future, Mi Tiansi will become a real problem. Instead of that, I'd better strike first and break Mi Tiansi's wings!"
Lin Jiangnian did not mention to Liu Su his plan to attack Chen Zhao.
There was no rush to kill Chen Zhao, and we had to take our time. Before that, we had to eliminate most of Chen Zhao's followers in Beijing.
Killing the great protector of the Secret Heaven Division is the most important part of the plan.
After confirming that Lin Jiangnian was not lying, Liu Su slowly withdrew his gaze and looked towards the distance ahead. He said in a deep voice, "It won't be easy if you want to kill him!"
"This great guardian of the Secret Heaven Division is quite skilled in martial arts."
She had fought against the other party before and knew his background.
Not a simple person!
"How strong?"
Lin Jiangnian asked.
Liu Su thought for a moment: "When I fought him a year ago, he was at least above the third rank."
"Now, it will only be stronger!"
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian took a breath.
A little unexpected!
He already knew from Chen Changqing that this great protector was quite skilled in martial arts, but he never expected him to be this strong?!
A year ago, he was already above the third rank, and now he's probably even stronger! For a master of this strength, killing him is much more difficult than killing Chen Feiyang.
Originally, Lin Jiangnian had been considering whether he could team up with Liu Su, who was by his side, to kill this elusive guardian tonight. But upon hearing Liu Su's words, Lin Jiangnian immediately became cautious; it seemed there was no rush!
He wasn't sure about Liu Su's martial arts prowess, but based on his previous deductions, he thought she was probably not much different from the Great Protector. The chances of their winning together weren't high, and if their identities were exposed, the outcome would be more trouble than it's worth!
"Forget it then!"
After careful consideration and hesitation, Lin Jiangnian immediately gave up: "Let's go back first and think of a solution later."
Liu Su glanced at him and said, "Don't you want to kill him?"
"How do you kill this?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "Didn't you say he's at least a third-grade powerhouse? He might even be a second-grade powerhouse... Even if we join forces, we might not be able to win!"
Liu Su glanced at him and said calmly, "How do you know it won't work if you don't try it?"
"Are you sure?"
"No."
Liu Su looked forward with a cold gaze, her tone gentle but firm: "But you can give it a try!"
"Don't be so stubborn!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyelids twitched, and he immediately remembered the heroic act of Saint Lady Liu who had overestimated her own abilities and tried to assassinate Lin Hengzhong. He quickly advised, "Don't be impulsive if you're not sure. You can kill him at any time, but don't act rashly."
Liu Su glanced at him and said coldly: "Do you think I can't beat him?!"
"It's not a question of whether or not we can win..."
Lin Jiangnian sighed and said, "I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want you to take this risk because of me!"
Liu Su was slightly stunned and in a trance for a moment.
Then, when he came to his senses, he turned his head slightly unnaturally, avoiding Lin Jiangnian's sight, and said sullenly: "I can't!"
"He's just a small guardian. It's easy for me to kill him!"
She even blew it?!
“You really don’t have to…”
Lin Jiangnian was about to say something else when he saw Liu Su's expression return to its cold expression. She slowly stood up and glanced at Lin Jiangnian.
"Remember, you owe this Saint a big favor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Su's figure was seen hiding in the jungle.
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment. What was she...
Are you really going to kill me?
"You, wait a minute..."
Lin Jiangnian reacted with a serious expression. He looked up at the valley not far ahead, then turned around quickly and caught up with Liu Su's leaving figure.
“…”
In the valley.
Silence.
Apart from the cold wind whistling through the trees, there was no other sound.
A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the space between heaven and earth.
In a dwelling in the valley, the lights were brightly lit. Outside the dwelling, several figures appeared.
"How's the situation?"
"We are already fully equipped and ready to go, just waiting for His Highness's orders at any time!"
"Protector Zhao, I wonder how the situation is going over there?"
"It's already prepared!"
"Recently, some strange figures have appeared outside the capital. Their movements are strange. I wonder if they are targeting you. You should be careful..."
"At this critical juncture, no more accidents can happen..."
"Whether the grand plan can be accomplished depends on this moment!"
“…”
Several figures were whispering to each other under the cover of night. After a while, they quietly dispersed.
There was no more movement in the valley.
A moment later, a figure shrouded in a black robe emerged from the valley. The black robe covered his entire body, revealing only a pair of deep, weathered eyes.
The black-robed figure left the valley and quickly disappeared into the woods. A short while later, the figure slowly emerged from the other side of the woods. He looked ahead. Not far away, the horses that had been there earlier were leisurely grazing.
Everything seems so harmonious!
However, the man in black robe glanced around, and his eyes suddenly became deep and cold.
"Since you're here, why don't you show yourself?!"
He spoke hoarsely and coldly.
I looked up and looked around. There was jungle all around, overgrown with weeds, and a cold wind was howling, hiding all movement under the sky.
The man in black robe frowned, then relaxed the next second.
"Playing tricks, such a petty trick!"
He sneered and waved his sleeves, creating a powerful gust of wind that swept ahead. The jungle weeds were instantly blown away by the wind, and a clearing appeared in front of him.
Still empty!
"Do you think you can hide?!"
The man in black robe's deep eyes sneered more and more. He took a step forward, and then suddenly turned his head to look at the jungle on the other side.
“I found you!”
The man in black robe waved his sleeves, and the majestic aura in his sleeves swept away again.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
At the same time, several sharp sounds piercing the air were suddenly heard in the air.
Accompanied by a fierce murderous intent, it suddenly approached!
The man in black robe snorted coldly, waved his robe, and blocked the hidden weapon that was attacking from the dark.
"A trifle!"
The man in black robe snorted coldly, but before he could feel proud, he realized something and his expression changed slightly.
The robe that had just touched the silver needle hidden weapon began to rot at some point, emitting a thick, dark flame.
The man in black robe's expression changed, and he immediately waved his sleeves, tearing off the remaining half of the sleeves, and only then was his robe saved.
After he finished all this, his face suddenly turned grim, and he looked up at the front: "Sneaky, using hidden weapons to poison, such despicable means, how can a gentleman act?!"
Under the cover of night, a figure slowly appeared in the distance in front of the black robe.
"Gentleman?"
"Zhao Changyuan, you are right, I am indeed not a gentleman!"
The cold and ethereal voice drifted in the wind, giving people an indescribable feeling of emptiness and indifference.
Hearing this voice, the man in black robe's expression changed slightly.
The other party actually knew his real name? !
Who is it?!
Just as he was about to raise his head to get a clearer look at the other person, murderous intent struck again. A fierce wind blew up, sweeping away the wild grass, obscuring the sky and the sun, enveloping the entire area.
In the dim vision, the cold light is revealed!
Zhao Changyuan's face changed slightly. Without time to think too much, facing the murderous intent in front of him, he waved his robe and jumped up, wanting to break out of this world.
But just as he made a move, a cold light approached from above, blocking his path. Zhao Changyuan was horrified and immediately retreated quickly.
"Bang!"
The cold sword seemed to separate heaven and earth.
Right where Zhao Changyuan was just now, weeds were everywhere, and the jungle on the ground was swept by the terrifying momentum of this sword, and a long sword energy spread out.
The sky is full of murderous intent!
Zhao Changyuan's face turned awkward and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Such power, such strength...
Could it be that the eldest princess has arrived?
There are only a handful of women in this world who can possess such terrifying strength. The most likely one is the eldest princess of the current dynasty!
Even he was wary of the eldest princess's terrifying martial arts talent.
If the eldest princess shows up, he will probably be in trouble tonight!
But soon, Zhao Changyuan realized something.
No, not the eldest princess!
He suddenly looked up and forward, and this time, he finally saw the other party's origin clearly.
In the pitch-black night, a woman holding a sword was standing quietly on the grass not far ahead.
Wearing a long red dress and a veil covering her face!
The temperament is cool and the momentum is amazing!
The cold wind was howling between heaven and earth, and she stood in the cold wind, motionless.
Her long hair is flying and her skirt is swaying.
Zhao Changyuan's expression changed slightly: "Liu, Liu Su?!"
Even though the other person was masked, Zhao Changyuan still recognized the identity of the woman in front of him at a glance!
Dressed in a red dress, with a cool and detached aura, and unfathomable martial arts skills... who else could it be but the Saintess of the Celestial God Cult?!
He had fought this woman a year ago.
This woman's martial arts skills should not be underestimated!
"oh?"
In the cold wind, Liu Su stared at Zhao Changyuan with an indifferent look: "You still recognize this Saint?!"
"Saint Lady Liu, what do you mean?!"
Zhao Changyuan spoke in a deep voice. Recognizing the other party's identity, he felt slightly relieved.
"Kill you!"
Liu Su's answer was concise and full of murderous intent.
Zhao Changyuan's expression changed slightly again: "Saint Lady Liu, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me today?"
"Does this Saint need a reason to kill someone?"
The cold and unreasonable voice was blown away by the cold wind.
Zhao Changyuan was shocked and angry, and was about to continue speaking when the person in red in front of him disappeared in an instant.
Between heaven and earth, a shadow was approaching.
Zhao Changyuan's expression changed drastically, and he angrily said, "Liu Su, do you really want to fight to the death with me?!"
"You, the Celestial God Cult, really want to tear your face off with my Mi Tiansi?!"
What answered Zhao Changyuan was a cold and sharp light and sword energy all over the sky.
Zhao Changyuan's heart sank. He knew that the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly God Religion in front of him was serious!
She really wants him dead!
Is the Celestial God Cult crazy?!
A cold look appeared on Zhao Changyuan's face, his robes fluttered, and his aura condensed.
A year ago, when he had fought this Saint Lady Liu, she was far inferior to him in martial arts. Since she was seeking death, don't blame him for being rude!
Zhao Changyuan's eyes were cold, and murderous intent filled his weathered and deep face.
Not far away, Liu Su stood in place, looking at the increasingly powerful aura of Zhao Changyuan in front of her, with a cold expression.
Without any emotion.
The next second, she moved!
At the same time, a cold light flashed between heaven and earth!
The cold light cut through the sky, instantly illuminating the world.
Zhao Changyuan's face froze at this moment. The next second, astonishment, horror, and horror appeared on his face!
"Second, second rank..."
"Tianxuan Realm?!"
“…”
