Berserk God of War-Chapter 148: Fan Zhong Will Protect Us
Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Fan Zhong Will Protect Us
Su Yue Immortal on the ground was completely stunned, staring intently at the corpse beside her, then turned to Sikong Jing and stammered, "How could you kill him so easily? You were only at the Human Realm Sixth Level."
Human Realm Sixth Level, to kill He He in one strike, is this a dream?
Sikong Jing smiled and replied, "I just took a stroll around the hall, and I’ve reached the Human Realm Ninth Layer."
What?
Su Yue Immortal was utterly baffled...
She couldn’t make sense of what Sikong Jing was saying. How could walking around once elevate him to the Human Realm Ninth Layer?
Of course, Su Yue Immortal didn’t know that Sikong Jing had been studying the way the Gold Splitting Steel Teeth Tiger’s demonic power operated.
During their time on Ru Yun Mountain, he had only observed halfway.
Then, he invented a non-complete version of the Beast Skill Gold Splitting, but just now, he had fully observed it again. As the Beast Skill Gold Splitting was fully developed, his True Qi Realm also reached the Human Realm Ninth Layer.
Of course, such a rapid advancement was also greatly related to having absorbed the Transcendent Warhorse of Princess Die Lian.
The Transcendent Warhorse, being a creature from the Transcendent Third Realm, still had its essence blood, inner core, and strength remaining in its body, not yet fully digested.
As the Beast Skill Gold Splitting was fully actualized, the energy of the Transcendent Warhorse kept radiating, nourishing Sikong Jing.
Then, Sikong Jing explained to Su Yue Immortal, "Moreover, I said it, this He He is trash, and even if he were at the Earth Realm Seventh Layer, one slash was all he needed to die."
Mouth agape, if He He is trash, then what am I, Su Yue Immortal?
I didn’t even have the strength to resist just now!
Sikong Jing saw what Su Yue Immortal was thinking and comforted her, "The training from Shadow Sect is not on the same level as your assassin organization, it’s not that your talents are inferior."
With that, Sikong Jing tossed He He’s Shadow Killing Blade to Su Yue Immortal and added, "When I get home, I’ll teach you."
Stunned, Su Yue Immortal accepted the Shadow Killing Blade with confusion.
Though her mother had said that Sikong Jing was no small fry before his exile, this seemed a bit too exaggerated?
As her mind was in utter chaos, Su Yue Immortal suddenly saw Sikong Jing heading straight for the hall. She quickly stood up and asked, "Sikong Jing, aren’t we escaping now?"
Sikong Jing must have been sent by mom and dad to chase after me, and now that I had survived, shouldn’t we escape together?
Even if he was formidable before, he was just an exiled criminal, only at Human Realm Ninth Layer.
And inside the hall, not only was there a noble young master, but also many other people. Going inside would be akin to courting death.
Sikong Jing replied, "We are still within Yunzhou City, unable to escape for now, so we can only face them."
"But it’s not just that nobleman inside, his friends and even the Commander of Yunzhou Battle Mansion are there," Su Yue Immortal couldn’t help but blurt out. How could they face such a massive force?
Sikong Jing chuckled again and responded, "It’s precisely because the Commander of War Mansion is there that we can face them."
It was indeed very coincidental for Fan Zhong to be in the nobleman Yan Ao’s private quarters.
With him around, Sikong Jing could manipulate the situation calmly.
Watching Sikong Jing’s retreating figure, Su Yue Immortal gritted her teeth, clutched the Shadow Killing Blade, and followed hurriedly, muttering, "If I must die, so be it."
However, after chasing a few steps, she stopped, her gaze landing on the deceased He He.
Hesitating for a moment, Su Yue Immortal swiftly dragged his body into the bushes and stripped him of his clothes to wear...
At the same time, the laughter of the party that had been occurring in the hall where Yan Ao was located resumed. The assassination attempt by Su Yue Immortal was but a minor interruption and was completely disregarded by him.
Only Prince Sword was kneeling in the corner, shaking uncontrollably, hating Su Yue Immortal immensely. This substitute had really screwed him over.
After the party, the young master would surely punish him severely.
Meanwhile, Fan Zhong was also deep in thought...
Suddenly, Yan Ao seemed to remember something and asked Fan Zhong, "Commander Fan, you still haven’t answered me, Why did you inquire about the Great Shang Emperor’s Order and the people from Jin Sect?"
Fan Zhong’s body shook slightly, and he immediately responded with a straight face, "Because of my six hundred thousand troops..."
He had already thought of an excuse, exactly because the six hundred thousand troops died inexplicably; as Commander of the War Mansion, he couldn’t accept this and wanted to ask why there was no rescue for the people of the Jin Sect, considering it a resolution to his unease.
Unfortunately, before he could finish, a light and indifferent voice came from outside, precisely saying, "Because Commander Fan did something very spectacular under Yanyun City."
At these words, Fan Zhong’s entire body broke out in goosebumps, and he couldn’t help but curse inwardly... damn it.
Which Deputy Commander wants to harm me?
Only he and three Deputy Commanders knew about Sikong Jing breaking through Yanyun City and also surviving.
Fan Zhong was both angry and afraid, and he instinctively looked towards the corridor in front of the hall’s entrance, then his entire person petrified on the spot, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets as thunder roared above him.
The person who came was... Sikong Jing.
At that instant, Fan Zhong’s thoughts were no different from Mo Yang’s earlier.
Is he human or ghost, how could Sikong Jing come out alive from the Dark Dragon Mountain Range, and why is he here?
This is the villa of Prince Zhenyun!
Yan Ao was also stunned, he frowned looking at Sikong Jing and asked, "Who are you? Who let you in?"
"Of course, it was Lord Commander who let me in. As for who I am, let Lord Fan introduce me," Sikong Jing squinted at Fan Zhong, who suddenly felt a chill all over, finally transitioning from shock to fear.
If Sikong Jing is still alive, does that mean the people from the Jin Sect at that time are also all alive?
Why is he here?
Could it be that the Jin Sect sent him to kill me? Or has he already defected to Xia Country?
A series of questions burst forth from Fan Zhong’s mind...
Until Yan Ao’s voice rang out again, "Oh? Commander Fan, is this your man?"
Gurgle...
Fan Zhong instinctively swallowed hard, What to do? How should he respond?
"Hmm?" Yan Ao’s face slightly darkened, looking at Fan Zhong unhappily, he dared to drag his feet and not answer.
At this moment, Sikong Jing smiled and said again, "Since Lord Fan can’t speak, let me introduce myself then, my name doesn’t matter. I am indeed... the son-in-law of the Su Family in Yunye City."
What?
Yan Ao’s eyes swiftly flashed a cold light, and Heavenly Realm Level True Qi suddenly blasted towards Sikong Jing.
At the same time, Su Yue Immortal, who had changed into He He’s clothes and was still wearing a veil, caught up, but upon hearing this statement, she was completely stunned on the spot. Was Sikong Jing not here to assassinate the noble young master?
How could he just reveal his identity like that?
Ignoring everyone, Sikong Jing continued, "The female assassin who was just taken away by He He is my elder sister-in-law."
As he said this, Sikong Jing also saw the bewildered Su Yue Immortal standing still; he immediately reached out and pulled off her veil, smiling as he said, "There’s no need for this; Commander Fan will protect us."
Su Yue Immortal’s mouth gaped open, her face filled with bewilderment.
And including Yan Ao and the noble sword in their shock, everyone was stunned—the female assassin had come back, so what happened to He He?
Sikong Jing immediately saw through everyone’s thoughts, casually saying, "He He is of course already dead, didn’t you see your substitute assassin wearing his clothes?"
At that statement, the entire hall went silent, a cold wind howling.
