Chapter 496: Chapter 259 Shura Altar_3

Jiang Shouzhong said indifferently:

"I’ve delivered the message, whether you believe it or not is up to you. Right now, a man named Wan Yan Wu Hai is secretly plotting a rebellion in Qingzhou.

He is an illegitimate son of the Emperor of Nanjin Country and he lives near West Central Alley. Jinse Xie, this top-ranking Oiran, is his accomplice. It’s up to you whether you want to seize this opportunity to make a merit."

After speaking, Jiang Shouzhong soared into the sky.

"Catch him!"

Shen, the commander, ordered.

In an instant, five imperial experts simultaneously lunged at Jiang Shouzhong.

One held a Judge’s Pen, peerlessly sharp, with the tip flickering with cold light as if it could hook away souls. Another was nimble in movement, flicking his wrist to send a hook of cold iron spinning through the air with a piercing whistling sound, aiming straight for the vital points.

The remaining three acted in perfect synchronization, unfolding a large net finely woven of steel, with tight meshes and a cold metallic luster.

However, to everyone’s amazement, Jiang Shouzhong, who was originally trying to evade in the air, suddenly fell as if losing support, and drifted calmly into the net carefully laid out beneath him, like a gently falling leaf.

This turn of events was unexpected for everyone.

Something’s not right!

Shen, the commander’s heart alarm bells rang, his eyebrows knit tightly together, his eyelids suddenly flashed, and he whipped his head around, only to see a shadow moving silently from a hidden corner of the loft, its speed so fast, it was nearly ghostlike.

Looking back at what was caught in the net, it was clearly not Jiang Shouzhong but a lifelike paper effigy.

"Chase!"

The commander, with the agility of an eagle pouncing on a rabbit, leapt forward, causing the tiles underfoot to crack from his speed, closing the distance between them in just a few breaths.

"Jiang Mo, do you think these tricks will help you escape?"

The commander’s fingers curled into sharp talons as he lunged for Jiang Shouzhong. The pressing force was like a towering peak collapsing down, carrying the power to crush anything in its path.

The air itself seemed to be torn apart by his overwhelming inner strength, whistling faintly.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light, a flying sword, rushed in.

The commander, quick as lightning, tilted his head slightly, his hair nearly brushing against the tip of the sword as it passed by.

Jiang Shouzhong’s figure abruptly twisted, executing a drastically slick maneuver, and his Seven Kills Blade sprung from its sheath in a flash!

The blade’s light surged like a tide of blood, tumultuously overwhelming.

In that instant, even the air seemed to solidify, as a daunting aura of death faced those present head-on.

The commander swung out his arms and with a mere flick of his wrists, a pair of dazzling golden rings appeared in his palms, their metal stunningly hard and shimmering with a chilling cold light, obviously not cast from ordinary iron.

These rings, named "Golden Chimes," would vibrate upon encountering an enemy, their sound shaking in all directions, and were indeed a magic artifact.

In a flash, the sound of gold striking metal reverberated to the skies.

The rings resonated and seemed to roar like dragons and tigers, scattering the deadly aura of the blade into nothingness.

The commander rolled through the air like floating clouds, deftly spinning around in mid-descent and then with a flick of his wrist, the Golden Chimes rings shot out like shooting stars chasing the moon, the force like an overwhelming tide, hurtling toward Jiang Shouzhong.

The air around the rings seemed to tighten with their imposing force, forming a visible cyclone, trying to lock down the space around Jiang Shouzhong tightly, restricting his movements.

But just as the rings were halfway there, Jiang Shouzhong lightly flicked his right pinky, and the seemingly ordinary ring on his finger transformed into the sharp and peerless Dragon Slaying Sword.

Sword Qi filled the sky, and at the same time, another flying sword also moved through the void, converging with the first in a perfectly coordinated assault that met the commander’s Golden Chimes rings head-on.

At the moment of impact, sparks flew in all directions, and the rings, knocked off their trajectory, whistled as they were sent flying far away.

Jiang Shouzhong drew the Seven Kills Blade once more.

Facing the surging blade light, Shen, with one ring lost, seemed even more hard-pressed, already at a disadvantage.

The blade wind, like a furious sea, pushed Shen back step by step.

Jiang Shouzhong used the momentum to his advantage, lightly touching Shen’s broad shoulder with the tip of his foot and, using the push-off, traced an arc across the night sky, laughing as he said, "Commander, I’ll take my leave first. Remember what I said earlier. If Qingzhou falls, your guilt will be even greater."

By the time Shen realized what had happened, Jiang Shouzhong had already vanished into the depths of the night.

The other guards arrived belatedly.

Shen’s face was somber, his eyes flickering with anger. Just as he was about to lead the others in pursuit, a thunderous explosion sounded, as if the earth had split and mountains had collapsed, and even the solid ground beneath trembled.

"What’s going on?"

Shen was uncertain.

An underling hurried to investigate and quickly came back, saying, "Commander, there’s been an explosion at the Su Family residence."

"Let’s go, take a look!"

Shen led the group towards Su Family, and as he left, he recalled Jiang Shouzhong’s earlier words. He glanced at Jinse Xie and then said to two people, "You two, check the alley entrance and see if there’s anyone from Nanjin Country."

...

This explosion startled the whole of Qingzhou.

Jiang Shouzhong himself didn’t understand why, but he didn’t dwell on it and headed back to the inn that had been set ablaze. Seeing that Lu Renjia and Zhang Yunwu were no longer there, he returned to the residence where he was staying.

In the courtyard, Dugu Luoxue sat quietly under the eaves, sewing clothes.

The cold moonlight spilled down, adding a touch of frosty beauty to her already lovely features.

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong come in, the woman asked, "What was the explosion just now about."

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head: "I’m not sure."

Dugu Luoxue, thinking it was Jiang Shouzhong’s doing and seeing that it was unrelated, did not inquire further.

After bathing and changing clothes, Jiang Shouzhong approached Dugu Luoxue and said with a smile:

"Master, I just had a fight and I’m a bit tired. How about we skip tonight’s practice and I’ll give you another massage?"
