Eternal Saber

Chapter 470 - 76: Redirecting Calamity Eastward

The third-grade martial artists who haven’t unlocked their Ren and Du Meridians find it hard to evade Chen Tang’s Divine Light Slash.

Not to mention Lin Mubai, who is merely of the Fourth Grade Awakening.

Xiao Wuhen and Liu Yingxiu were shocked beyond words.

Neither of them expected Lin Mubai to not even withstand a single move!

With such sword skill, even if they forced out their poisons, what could they do?

Their lives were entirely at the mercy of Chen Tang.

Xia Yuanxian’s pupils contracted violently, he couldn’t help but gasp.

He had witnessed Chen Tang’s martial arts skills.

But he had never seen such a terrifying sword skill!

If, during the battle at Langya Pavilion, Chen Tang had used this slash, could he have withstood it?

Unexpectedly, during the Langya Pavilion battle, this person had still held back!

On the other side.

Liu Mengzhen was just about to take action when the battle here had already ended.

She stood rigidly in place, her expression was one of inexplicable horror, her gaze flitted restlessly between Chen Tang and Ah Li.

Seeing this scene, how could Liu Mengzhen dare to act rashly?

Any slight move could lead to another slash from Chen Tang, and she too would die on the spot!

With just one slash, he had terrified everyone in the room!

Chen Tang, holding the bloodstained long knife, slowly walked towards Xia Yuanxian.

Xia Yuanxian was weak all over, although he tried to appear calm, the deep panic in his eyes betrayed the fear in his heart.

Staring at Xia Yuanxian, Chen Tang said calmly, "I’ll ask again, who’s your master?"

Xia Yuanxian remained silent.

Chen Tang asked again, "What’s the story behind the Drunken Eight Immortals?"

Xia Yuanxian seemed to have resigned himself to certain death, a mocking expression appeared on his face, and he shook his head, saying, "Chen Tang, if you want to kill, just do it, what’s the point in asking more?"

Chen Tang raised an eyebrow.

Xia Yuanxian simply threw caution to the wind and continued, "Chen Tang, if you kill me, you won’t escape! With the capabilities of my master and my father, they will definitely come after you to avenge me!"

"By then, you will face the pursuit of the Court’s army and the Profound Celestial Army, and you won’t have a place to hide in the Six States of Great Xia, you..."

Chen Tang remained expressionless, raised his hand, and the long knife slashed across Xia Yuanxian’s throat.

Sizzle!

Blood gushed out!

Xia Yuanxian’s body swayed, his hands clutched his throat tightly, staring at Chen Tang with eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

After a moment, with a thud, he collapsed forward onto the ground, gradually falling silent.

Beside him, Xiao Wuhen and Liu Yingxiu were so startled by Chen Tang’s abrupt slash that they trembled all over.

Chen Tang’s gaze shifted to Xiao Wuhen and Liu Yingxiu.

Feeling the murderous intent in Chen Tang’s eyes, Liu Yingxiu was trembling inside, pale with fright, she quickly said, "Young Hero Chen, your grudge with Xia Yuanxian is, it’s got nothing to do with me..."

Liu Yingxiu’s voice trembled slightly, obviously scared to the core!

She was still young, hadn’t been roaming the Jianghu for many years, and had never seen someone like Chen Tang who kills without batting an eye, like a demon!

Even someone like Xia Yuanxian, with such background and status, was killed just like that, disregarding everything!

If Chen Tang decided to kill her, it would be just a matter of convenience.

"Indeed."

Xiao Wuhen also managed an awkward smile, saying, "Brother Chen, I was foolish before and offended you in many ways, I’ve already been punished, I hope Brother Chen can be magnanimous, spare me..."

"Can’t be spared."

Chen Tang interrupted casually, striking with two consecutive slashes.

Thud! Thud!

The two slashes hit directly on Xiao Wuhen and Liu Yingxiu’s foreheads.

Their bodies shook, then slumped back onto their chairs, dead as can be!

Neither of the two were good people.

Needless to say, Xiao Wuhen had long held grudges against Chen Tang.

This Liu Yingxiu was very close to Lin Mubai, if she was let go, it would definitely cause endless troubles.

Liu Mengzhen saw this scene, suppressed her internal fears, and suddenly sighed softly, saying in a ghostly tone, "I have imagined meeting Master Chen countless times, but never expected it to be under such circumstances."

She had seen Chen Tang’s methods, and her mind was clear as a mirror, if she didn’t handle it well, she too would die on the spot today!

The only plan now is to use every ounce of skill to diminish Chen Tang’s hostility towards her.

"Master Chen, Dream Zhen is in the brothel, many things are beyond my control."

Liu Mengzhen’s expression was mournful, she said softly, "Back then, when inviting you to the capital, it was under Xia Yuanxian’s coercion, Dream Zhen is just a mere woman, no status, no backing, no match for a hero like Master Chen, so I could only play along with him."

Pausing for a moment, Liu Mengzhen extended three fingers and swore, "Master Chen, rest assured, what Dream Zhen has seen tonight, she will not reveal a single word, if I break this oath, may I die a horrible death."

"No status, no backing? I don’t see it that way."

Chen Tang said, "The Upper Concealment who came to find me was under your command."

"What Upper Concealment, what’s Master Chen talking about?"

Liu Mengzhen looked a bit puzzled, her expression didn’t seem fake, she appeared totally ignorant.

Chen Tang smiled faintly, saying, "On the way to the capital, I intercepted a messenger pigeon from Celestial Cauldron Continent sent to you, want to take a look?"

As he spoke, Chen Tang took out a rolled-up note from his chest.

Liu Mengzhen’s face showed a hint of unnaturalness.

But she still forced a smile, saying, "What’s Master Chen talking about, Dream Zhen doesn’t understand."

Chen Tang opened the note, took a glance, then said, "Your real name isn’t Liu Mengzhen, but Ryūsei Mōjin."

At this point, any further lying would be just adding to the ridicule.

Liu Mengzhen remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What else is written on it?"

Chen Tang smiled, "What you asked Celestial Cauldron Continent to investigate has yielded results."

"Oh?"

Liu Mengzhen’s eyes lit up, she asked, "Who is it?"

Previously, she had sent a message to Celestial Cauldron Continent, asking them to investigate the person who forced Tsukiyama Tairou to his death, and that person’s true identity of Murong Haitang.

"See for yourself."

Chen Tang tossed the note back.

Liu Mengzhen opened the note.

A line of words was very striking.

Murong Haitang hails from Divine Land, true name Chen Tang!

Liu Mengzhen trembled all over, instinctively looking up at the smiling young man not far away, and in an instant, her entire body turned cold!

She knew all her previous explanations were futile.

The person before her would not spare her!

But she still didn’t give up.

Liu Mengzhen’s mind raced, she said, "If you kill me, it will only expose yourself. Why not spare my life, I can help you place the blame for tonight’s events on someone else."

Chen Tang smirked, saying, "I came to the capital in disguise, no one would suspect me anyway."

"Yes, they will!"

Liu Mengzhen said, "You have a grudge against Xia Yuanxian, besides, your moves will give you away..."

Liu Mengzhen suddenly fell silent.

She suddenly realized that everyone in the room had died under the knife.

And everyone thought Chen Tang wielded a sword!

What terrified her even more was that, apart from the knife skills used to kill Lin Mubai, the skills used to kill Xia Yuanxian, Xiao Wuhen, and Liu Yingxiu were very similar to the Moonlit Ten Forms!

This meant, when the bodies were discovered, Chen Tang wouldn’t even be the prime suspect, Celestial Cauldron Continent would be!

This person had already planned to redirect the disaster elsewhere when he made his move!

"Kill her."

Chen Tang said lightly.

Before the words were fully out, Liu Mengzhen suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back!

Ah Li appeared behind her, driving a knife into her heart.

The first courtesan of the capital, withered and perished.
