Chapter 460: If you want it, then it’s yours!

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: If you want it, then it’s yours!

At this moment, Chen Xuan continued to speak, "You braved life-threatening dangers to come here in search of herbs, so you must have an urgent need. Since that’s the case, I’ll give you this Jade Corpse Ginseng!"

"What?!" Tang Ying was stunned, thinking she had misheard.

Originally, she had prepared herself to pay a billion or even a hundred billion if the other party named such a price for the Jade Corpse Ginseng.

However, she never expected that the other party would actually offer to give away such a precious item!

"Are... are you serious?" Tang Ying couldn’t believe it.

Chen Xuan nodded, "Naturally!"

Overcome with emotion, Tang Ying took the Jade Corpse Ginseng and knelt before Chen Xuan, "Thank you, sir, for your great kindness!"

In fact, the reason why Chen Xuan was willing to give away the Jade Corpse Ginseng to Tang Ying, apart from seeing her need for it, was also because he valued her inherently good nature.

Just now, when Tang Ying was facing death, she scolded Chen Xuan to leave for fear of involving him.

Clearly, this woman, despite being somewhat flamboyant, was essentially good-hearted, and it was for this reason that Chen Xuan was willing to help her this one time.

Just as Tang Ying was about to take the Jade Corpse Ginseng from Chen Xuan’s hands.

"Don’t move, give that thing to me!"

Shi Qiang, along with the remaining dozen or so gunmen not far away, had their gun barrels pointed at both Chen Xuan and Tang Ying!

Tang Ying frowned, "Shi Qiang, what do you want to do?"

Shi Qiang sneered, "Nothing much, just trying to take that thing to make some money!"

Even Shi Qiang, who wasn’t the sharpest, realized that the Jade Corpse Ginseng must be exceedingly precious, or else Tang Ying wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths and risked so much to raid the ancient tomb.

If this item were taken to the black market and found someone knowledgeable, it could certainly fetch a high price, which is why Shi Qiang was tempted to steal it.

Tang Ying was seething with anger.

They, her hired bodyguards, had let her face murder by the Jade Corpse Ginseng without intervening, and now they even wanted to snatch her treasure.

These people clearly had no professional integrity whatsoever!

"Shi Qiang, I already gave you guys a substantial commission before we came here, how can you do something like this!"

"The Jade Corpse Ginseng is extremely important to me. Look, if you give me the Jade Corpse Ginseng, I’m willing to double your commission!"

Tang Ying was making a compromise.

Shi Qiang’s eyes lit up, "Double? That’s indeed a lot. But since you’re willing to pay such a high price, it only means the thing is worth even more!"

"Considering this, why would I care about your commission?"

"You..." Tang Ying gritted her teeth with anger.

It seemed that Shi Qiang was insatiable and had decided to steal the Jade Corpse Ginseng!

"Enough with the damn nonsense. Kid, I’m talking to you, hand it over quickly, or I swear I’ll kill you right now!"

Shi Qiang, tired of talking, raised his gun menacingly at Chen Xuan.

This young man indeed had skills, but at the end of the day, he was not the Jade Corpse Ginseng; he was not a bulletproof zombie.

And it was for this reason that Shi Qiang dared to make such a gamble!

Facing over a dozen dark gun barrels, Chen Xuan remained calm.

"Since you want this thing so badly, then you can have it..."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan actually tossed the Jade Corpse Ginseng from his hand toward Shi Qiang.

Everybody instinctively looked up at the Jade Corpse Ginseng flying in the air.

Shi Qiang reached out to catch it, then in the next moment.

A flash of cold light passed by, and Shi Qiang suddenly felt a chill on his throat.

Not just Shi Qiang, but all the other gunmen at that moment felt the same sensation.

The next instant, pff pff pff!

Bright red blood spurted out from their necks.

Immediately after, Shi Qiang and the dozen or so gunmen all fell to the ground, dead.

Shi Qiang died with his eyes open, his face still retaining the expression of horror he had before he died.

As Shi Qiang and the others hit the floor, the Jade Corpse Ginseng in the air landed perfectly back in Chen Xuan’s hands!

Tang Ying stared at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, completely dumbstruck.

Just now, like Shi Qiang and the rest, her attention had been drawn to the airborne Jade Corpse Ginseng; by the time she refocused her gaze, she saw that Shi Qiang and the others had turned into corpses!

All of this had happened in just a blink of an eye!

To kill more than a dozen people in an instant!

With such astonishing methods, Tang Ying found them utterly unheard of!

Tang Ying marveled once again, wondering what kind of being she had encountered today!

Chen Xuan looked at the bodies of Shi Qiang and the others, his eyes filled with indifference.

Shi Qiang and his men were paid to do a job, yet when it came to the crunch, they showed no integrity, disregarding their employer’s life without a second thought.

Then, lured by greed, they intended to snatch their employer’s belongings, completely betraying their conscience.

But all that was tolerable.

The main thing was that Chen Xuan had already seen through Shi Qiang and his compatriots’ intentions.

Being mercenaries, their reputation was naturally of the utmost importance.

If word got out that they had abandoned their employer today, then their careers would be effectively over.

Thus, from the outset, Shi Qiang and his lot had no intention of letting Chen Xuan and Tang Ying leave this place alive!

In light of this, Chen Xuan naturally had no mercy for them!

"Returning to its rightful owner," Chen Xuan handed the Jade Corpse Ginseng back to Tang Ying.

Tang Ying was both grateful and terrified.

She was lucky that this man harbored no malice; if he too had been tempted by wealth and coveted the Jade Corpse Ginseng, then she might well have ended up like Shi Qiang and the others, reduced to a corpse!

Chen Xuan approached the tomb’s entrance.

With one arm, he effortlessly tossed aside the several-ton-heavy coffin lid, shocking Tang Ying yet again.

Before leaving, Chen Xuan picked up something from the ground.

It turned out to be a jade thumb ring carved with nine dragons, which had fallen from the corpse of King Chen they encountered earlier.

It had to be said that the craftsmanship of the thumb ring was extremely delicate, undoubtedly a treasure.

Although it was an item from a tomb, after a purification by Chen Xuan’s True Qi, the entire ring was immediately cleansed by a righteous energy, rid of any sinister aura.

Having done all this, Chen Xuan put the thumb ring in his pocket and left the cave with Tang Ying.

However, just as they had reached the outside of the cave’s entrance, situated within a deep pit, they were immediately startled by the scene before them.

All around the pit, both high and low, stood dozens of soldiers dressed in black, each holding a long spear!

And on the chest of these soldiers’ uniforms, the word "Pojun" was emblazoned in red.

The Dong Family, Pojun Hall!

Chen Xuan frowned, unclear why the Dong Family’s people had suddenly appeared here!

Tang Ying was also frightened by the bearing of these people.

Coming from a prominent Jinmen family, she was certainly knowledgeable, but she had never seen a force like this before.

The ability to mobilize armed soldiers at will was not something ordinary people could achieve!

Bang!

A tall figure leaped from the edge of the deep pit, towering over ten meters, and landed heavily in front of Chen Xuan and Tang Ying.

The man’s aura was powerful, comparable to that of Qisha, whom they had encountered earlier.

"Nanjiang Earl, it seems that you and my Dong Family are truly fated," the burly man said with a meaningful smile, looking at Chen Xuan.

"Nan... Nanjiang Earl?!" Hearing this title, Tang Ying felt like she’d been struck by lightning.

Half a month ago, news had spread that the Dong Family had bestowed the title of Nanjiang Earl to a high-ranking individual in Huai City, someone who could stand toe-to-toe with the Rakshasa Marquis from the Northern Families.

Although Tang Ying was far away in Jinmen, she had also heard about it.

Now, she finally understood why the man before her was so powerful.

It turned out that he was an Earl, valued by the Dong Family!
