Chapter 103: Death of the Snake and Scorpion

There were ambushes everywhere, one after another. Two Primordial Warriors at the Bone Forging Late Stage were on both sides of the corridor, two more were opposite the door, and another one was in the room next to his. Altogether, there were five Primordial Warriors at the Bone Forging Late Stage.

Primordial Warriors at the Bone Forging Late Stage were not common. It was not easy for any force in Jinguo Province to gather so many Primordial Warriors at the Bone Forging Late Stage. Especially since, besides these Bone Forging Late Stage Primordial Warriors, there seemed to be a number of Primordial Warriors at the Middle Bone Training Stage as well.

As for how many hidden Primordial Warriors there were, Jiang Xincheng did not know. The area around his room had suddenly turned from a safe harbor into a deadly hunting ground full of dangers.

But there were many hunters, and only one prey: Jiang Xincheng.

Jiang Xincheng had not expected that enemies were all around him. These men wearing black masks had quietly set up a net around him, waiting for him to walk right into it.

Feeling a cold, menacing aura near his legs, Jiang Xincheng’s expression changed. He twisted his body forcefully on the windowsill and pushed his Five Elements Steps to the limit, just barely dodging two swords. Even so, the two swords left deep cuts on his legs.

After narrowly avoiding the danger of having his legs crippled, a fierce glint flashed in Jiang Xincheng’s eyes. If he had not trained hard in the Five Elements Steps during this time and reached the peak of minor mastery, he would not have just been injured by these successive ambushes—he would have been killed.

These men in black masks were careful and methodical in their setup. No matter where Jiang Xincheng tried to escape, enemies were waiting for him. They clearly wanted to kill him.

This was, without a doubt, the most dangerous moment Jiang Xincheng had faced since his rebirth.

The Mysterious Steel Sword moved like a butterfly. To the astonishment of two Primordial Warriors at the Middle Bone Training Stage, it swept across their throats, taking their lives. Then Jiang Xincheng rushed forward, burst through the room’s door. Two Primordial Warriors at the Bone Forging Late Stage charged out, their long blades slashing down hard on whatever had rushed out of the room.

“Clang…”

As the blades came down, the thing they hit made a dull sound. The two men inwardly cursed, but it was too late. At that moment, Jiang Xincheng suddenly rushed out. While the two Bone Forging Late Stage Primordial Warriors’ blades were stuck in the wooden table, he pushed his Mysterious Steel Sword to the limit, piercing their throats. Then Jiang Xincheng stepped on their bodies and charged into the room across from him.

Behind him, three Bone Forging Late Stage Primordial Warriors roared as they gave chase, their faces filled with fury. In such a short time, four family Elders at the Bone Forging Late Stage and two elite members at the Middle Bone Training Stage had been cut down by Jiang Xincheng as if they were nothing, while Jiang Xincheng had only suffered minor injuries. They could not accept this.

If they did not take Jiang Xincheng’s life today, how would they explain it to their family?

The three Bone Forging Late Stage Primordial Warriors chased Jiang Xincheng madly. Around them, several other Bone Training Realm Primordial Warriors either set ambushes or rushed after him. The killing intent rolled toward him like a wave.

Jiang Xincheng fled desperately. Not a single room around him was safe; enemies could be hiding in any of them. His Spiritual Sense at the Soldier Realm Middle Stage probed, searching for traces of the enemies.

Unfortunately, many of the Bone Training Realm Primordial Warriors around him had Spiritual Sense that was not much weaker than his. After all, Jiang Xincheng had only been reborn for a few months. Although he had taken many Willow Essence Pills and his Spiritual Sense had grown a lot, it still fell short compared to these Bone Training Realm Primordial Warriors who had nurtured their Spiritual Sense for years with powerful Primordial Force. So he could not detect all the ambushes.

He frowned. It seemed that after this crisis was over, he would need to train his Spiritual Sense properly. But for now, the priority was to escape as fast as possible.

“Boom…”

Jiang Xincheng smashed through a wall and fled into the room he had been in earlier. He had just left this room, so those who wanted to kill him probably would not expect him to return. There should be no ambush inside.

But although there were no enemy ambushes inside, there was the vicious and shameless Ruthless Poison Nun, Lou Haiyue.

Suddenly seeing Jiang Xincheng break through the wall, Lou Haiyue, who had been kicked to the ground earlier by a man in a black mask, first froze. Then a look of bitter resentment flashed in her eyes. She grabbed a nearby hot water kettle and threw it directly at Jiang Xincheng. “Jiang Xincheng, you beast, go die!”

Facing the suddenly thrown kettle, Jiang Xincheng activated his Five Elements Steps and easily dodged it. Paying no attention to Lou Haiyue’s crazed curses, he dashed through the hole in the wall that had been made earlier by a man in a black mask.

Behind Jiang Xincheng, the kettle of scalding hot water heavily struck the face of a man in a black mask who had just chased him through the hole. The dark red hot water acted like acid, quickly corroding the man’s mask and then burning his face.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”

Amid the harsh sizzling sound, the man’s face became a bloody mess. The pain made him clutch his face and scream loudly. The two other men in black masks beside him were also splashed by the scalding poisonous water, and dozens of corrosive wounds appeared on their faces and bodies. They, too, cried out in pain.

“You wretched woman, you’re looking for death!”

Amid the piercing screams, the man who had been corroded the most wildly rushed at Lou Haiyue. As she looked on in terror, he grabbed the vicious and shameless woman, seized her legs, and tore her apart with a fierce pull.

“Ah…”

Amid her desperate scream, the Ruthless Poison Nun Lou Haiyue was actually torn in two by the man in the black mask. Her intestines and organs spilled all over the ground. She was dead beyond dead.

This evil and shameless woman, who believed she could wrong others but could not be wronged herself, had finally received the punishment she deserved. And Jiang Xincheng’s counterattack had already begun.

After tearing Lou Haiyue apart, the man in the black mask, tormented by the pain of the corrosive poison, madly chased after Jiang Xincheng. The other two injured men in black masks followed closely, roaring as they pursued the fleeing Jiang Xincheng.

The man most severely burned by the poison water was the first to charge into the room, but he was shocked to find it empty. There was no broken hole in the wall. Looking toward the window, he saw a large hole where someone had clearly smashed through it and escaped.

The man rushed forward, seemingly fast but actually quite cautious. After all, a companion had been killed at the window earlier. Learning from that lesson, he was not going to make the same mistake.

The two other men in black masks also rushed in. Without much thought, they headed toward the leader. “Be careful of the window! Jiang Xincheng might be hiding below it.”

Hearing their fearful voices, Jiang Xincheng, who was on the wall behind the three, smiled slightly. His Mysterious Steel Sword suddenly flew out, attacking the two men in the back from behind.
