Chapter 1044: Retribution
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All the Ghost Shadow Guards were dead, and only Xie Jinnian was left beside Zongzheng Ming.
Xie Jinnian didn’t know martial arts, so he clearly couldn’t protect himself.
Zongzheng Ming could not help but feel flustered. However, he had been the monarch for more than 30 years and had seen many storms. He had also trained his temperament to be extraordinary.
He quickly suppressed this panic.
He began to recall why Jade-faced Rakshasa wanted to assassinate him.
He didn’t remember doing anything to offend the other party, and he clearly remembered that the rule of the Assassin Alliance was not to kill the employer.
“Jade-faced Rakshasa.” He decided to negotiate with the other party first. “I have no grudge against you. Why are you killing me? If someone gave your Assassin Alliance silver, I’ll give you ten times the amount.”
Su Xuan said coldly, “You’re not worthy.” Zongzheng Ming frowned.
Xie Jinnian looked at Su Xuan deeply.
Zongzheng Ming thought for a moment and said, “Or if you want to be an official, I can give you an official position. It’s not impossible for you to be a king with a different surname.”
The most important thing now was to stabilize this assassin. As for what price he would pay, that was something that could be fulfilled after taking back the throne.
Su Xuan looked at him in disgust and couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on him. He raised the Rakshasa Sword and slashed at him.
“Leave him alive!”
Ning Rufeng stepped into the air and descended from the sky, blocking Su Xuan’s killing move.
When the weapons met, Ning Rufeng finally felt how much strength Su Xuan had used.
There was no need to resort to that to deal with an ordinary person.
How much killing intent did this kid have?
Ning Rufeng said seriously, “Junior Brother! You can’t kill him!”
Su Xuan asked coldly, “What if I insist on killing him?”
Ning Rufeng said with a complicated expression, “I can only stop you!”
Su Xuan said mockingly, “Can Senior Brother stop me on your own?”
Ning Rufeng opened his mouth. “The entire Assassin Alliance will stop you!”
Su Xuan sneered. “Not only is the Assassin Alliance in the business of snatching people, but they’re also benevolent and have started a business of saving people? When did you change the rules? You even want to protect your employer?”
Ning Rufeng wanted to say something but hesitated. He glanced at Su Xuan and said, “You’ve already violated the rules of the Assassin Alliance by interfering in Wei Xu’s matter. If you assassinate your employer again, where will the credibility of the Assassin Alliance be if word gets out? I’ll go to Master to plead for you on Wei Xu’s matter. If you’re obedient, I can even cover it up for you. Don’t make mistakes again and again. If you kill your employer, you’ll be executed by the Assassin Alliance!” Su Xuan said word by word, “Move aside.” Ning Rufeng frowned. “Junior Brother!” “I said, move aside!”
Su Xuan slapped Ning Rufeng’s chest.
Ning Rufeng was caught off guard and was sent flying. He knelt on one knee and used his long sword to draw a ten-foot-long ravine on the ground before stabilizing himself.
His junior brother was serious…
Su Xuan said to Xie Jinnian, “Get out of the way too, or I’ll kill you too.”
Zongzheng Ming clenched his fists. To him, Jinnian was loyal. He would not dodge.
Xie Jinnian silently dodged.
Zongzheng Ming was speechless.
Zongzheng Ming panicked and reached out to stop Su Xuan. “Don’t kill me! I’ll give you whatever you want!”
Su Xuan slashed down and cut off his tendons.
Zongzheng Ming let out a miserable scream.
Hot blood splattered across Su Xuan’s face. He did not even blink and continued to stare at him. He was like a demon from purgatory and a malicious ghost that wanted his life.
Su Xuan raised his hand and broke the tendons in his other hand.
Ning Rufeng frowned.
What was wrong with his junior brother?
Instead of killing Zongzheng Ming directly, he was torturing him.
Zongzheng Ming had suffered a lot among the commoners, but it was not to the extent of being skinned alive. After that, he had been the monarch for decades. He lived a carefree life. When had he ever suffered any pain? freewebnovel.cσ๓
The tendons in his hands were severed one after another, and it was simply so painful that he was in pain. He fell to the ground in a sorry state, and the entire ferry was filled with his miserable screams.
Ning Rufeng flashed over and stood in front of Zongzheng Ming. “Junior Brother!”
Unfortunately, Ning Rufeng was no match for Su Xuan.
Su Xuan forced him back with a move before stabbing his sword into Zongzheng Ming’s thigh!
