Chapter 826: Chapter 403 Assassination

Jiang Yi waking up is undoubtedly a good thing.

Though the amnesia plot seems a bit cliché, it’s not really a big deal.

In Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes, this is just a dark Chapter in Jiang Yi’s history, and it doesn’t really affect him.

Once Jiang Yi regains her memory, whether she ends up in an embarrassing "social death" situation or her mindset completely collapses, it’s not something he needs to worry about.

But, to be fair, the current little Jiang Yi is exceptionally adorable.

This made Jiang Shouzhong’s mind wander a little.

Someday, if he and Hong’er or Qingchen had a child, would it be as charming and lovable?

Of course, to completely replicate the delicate and adorable qualities of the little Jiang Yi before him, it seems the only way would be to have a child with Jiang Yi.

However, Jiang Shouzhong didn’t hold out much hope for that.

After all, Jiang Yi—despite her usual flirtatious demeanor—is arrogant to the extreme and shows no interest in men. For a woman like her, conquering her is definitely a challenge.

Accepting Jiang Yi’s amnesia situation, Jiang Shouzhong began planning his next moves.

Although he managed to deal with the soldiers at the camp, Jiang Shouzhong knew very well that with so many soldiers disappearing, the Fifth Prince would surely send someone to investigate, and Yu Family Village would inevitably become a focus of the investigation.

Facing these well-trained regular troops, Jiang Shouzhong dared not relax even a bit.

As Yan Changqing had said, even masters in the Feathered Transformation Realm might not be able to directly contend with tens of thousands of soldiers.

The earlier fight at the camp, where he killed hundreds of soldiers, had already shown Jiang Shouzhong how tricky regular troops could be. Their methods to deal with cultivators were extremely effective and not to be underestimated.

Therefore, Jiang Shouzhong decided to stay in the village for a couple more days.

First, to allow little Jiang Yi to nurse her health carefully and hopefully recover her memory sooner.

Second, he needed to reassess and reorganize his own weapons, cultivation techniques, pets, and plans, hoping to maximize his power for future confrontations with formidable enemies and finish battles swiftly and decisively.

Currently, he had six weapons in his possession.

Among them were four flying swords.

One was the Jade Hairpin Flying Sword left to him by Ye, another was the Dragon-slaying Flying Sword obtained from Famous Sword Villa, and the remaining two were the Yin Yang River Map Dual Swords.

Given Jiang Shouzhong’s current realm, wielding the Jade Hairpin Flying Sword had already become second nature to him, allowing him to utilize it effortlessly.

However, the flying sword left by Ye, after being reforged by his master Yan Changqing, required the complete activation of the Sword Intent within it to unleash its full power.

This would demand a significant consumption of Inner Strength.

After careful consideration, Jiang Shouzhong decided to treat it as a back-up weapon for sneak attacks, meant to kill opponents unexpectedly.

The Dragon-slaying Flying Sword, having already formed a bond with him, consumed very little Spiritual Power during use and was relatively easy to wield.

Its challenging aspect, however, lay in the fact that, to unleash its ultimate power, it needed to work in tandem with Hong’er’s Phoenix Slaying Sword.

Under such restrictive conditions, if he faced a truly powerful expert alone, it would evidently fail to apply meaningful deterrence or threats and couldn’t play a decisive role at crucial moments.

Thus, Jiang Shouzhong planned to use the Dragon-slaying Flying Sword as a regular weapon against ordinary cultivators, occasionally pulling it out for dramatic effect.

The core purpose of the Yin Yang River Map Dual Swords was to aid in unblocking his body’s meridians and acupoints, promoting a balanced state of the Yin Yang Five Elements. This allowed him to grasp and cultivate various other cultivation techniques more smoothly and effectively.

When used as flying swords for combat, they could display significant power, yet the risks hidden within were not to be underestimated.

If he encountered a super expert like Zhao Wuxiu, and the dual swords were damaged or forcibly taken by the opponent, it would be an unbearable loss for Jiang Shouzhong—absolutely not worth the risk.

Hence, unless as a last resort, Jiang Shouzhong did not intend to use them as regular weapons.

This counted as secretly keeping a hidden card.

As for the Seven Kills Blade and Spirit Water Sword, both were gifts from his two wives.

Jiang Shouzhong felt a particular fondness for the Seven Kills Blade.

However, the Seven Kills Blade had unique cultivation requirements—it needed to be nurtured over time with Death Qi and Blood Qi and could not be unsheathed casually under normal circumstances.

Therefore, Jiang Shouzhong decided to treat the Spirit Water Sword as his regular weapon.

Of course, behind this choice lay some special considerations.

Given the current somewhat tense and frosty relationship he had with Ran Qingchen, the Spirit Water Sword held particular significance.

He needed to keep it often at his side, and whenever Ran Qingchen was present, he would frequently take out the Spirit Water Sword to use, consciously or unconsciously demonstrating his appreciation for the gift she had given him.

Letting Ran Qingchen truly see how much he treasured and loved her gift.

This, perhaps, might slightly alleviate her grievances and dissatisfaction.

This is what they call seduction tactics.

As for cultivation techniques, he currently had Chasing Wind Step, Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist, Greedy Life Swordsmanship, and Unparalleled Sword Skill.

Though not many, they were more than sufficient.

In terms of Magic Treasures, he possessed the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Armor, Zodiac Map, and some miscellaneous treasures like the Avatar Puppet, which were more than adequate for dealing with enemies.

Looking at the overall picture, even facing masters in the Feathered Transformation Realm didn’t seem intimidating.

But then again, lately, the number of Feathered Transformation Realm experts he’d encountered was quite excessive.

Setting aside Li Guanshi, who might already have stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm, the rest were no ordinary individuals.

Fortunately, Dugu Luoxue, Mengniang, and Yan Changqing were his allies; as for Ran Qingchen, who had transformed into the Asura Queen, there may be conflicts, but at least they were husband and wife.
