Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 113: The Terrifying Youth

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: The Terrifying Youth

The ’Chu Feng’ on the ground, before his death, clenched his teeth and let out this reluctant cry. Then his four limbs violently kicked out, and he died on the spot.

"Team Leader Wang?"

Two squad leaders, one named Luo Biao, one named Hou Ya.

Hearing the voice of the person being killed sounding off and very familiar, they immediately ordered someone to light a torch for a closer look.

Once they clearly saw the face of the corpse on the ground, Hou Ya let out a loud cry, scared to the point of sitting down on the ground.

Chu Jianlan, who was fighting desperately with Luo Biao, glanced over. When he realized that the dead was not his younger brother but Team Leader Wang, who often made life difficult for him, his heart surged with both shock and joy.

After a forceful attack, he withdrew his sword and moved aside.

"Why would Team Leader Wang be wearing the uniform of the Alchemy Academy?" Chu Jianlan couldn’t quite understand.

Luo Biao and Hou Ya, along with the others, were on the verge of tears, their complexions ashen.

Mistakenly killing Team Leader Wang was a capital offense. It could very well cost them their heads.

At the very least, they would be subjected to imperial punishment, exiled, becoming military slaves.

And that was almost certainly a death sentence.

While these men were in a state of panic and unease, Chu Feng’s figure appeared at the entrance of the alley and quickly walked over.

Bloody Beard and several formidable experts of the Blood Sword Gang were covertly protecting Chu Feng.

However, they did not show themselves.

"Younger brother!"

Since the torch had been lit, Chu Jianlan immediately recognized the face of the newcomer. He had nearly thought he would never see his younger brother again, eternally separated by life and death. This feeling of regained loss made Chu Jianlan cherish even more the days his younger brother was alive.

Because he knew very well that his younger brother’s fire poison could flare up at any time, possibly leading to his death.

"Senior brother! I didn’t mean to startle you!" Chu Feng looked at his emotionally stirred senior brother and showed a knowing smile on his face. It was time to let his senior brother witness his capabilities.

Chu Feng’s icy gaze swept towards Luo Biao and the others.

"You have wrongfully killed Team Leader Wang, which is a capital crime! If you want to save your lives, pledge your undying loyalty to my senior brother!" These men are the elite of the army, and having them devotedly serve his senior brother could quickly help Chu Jianlan secure his footing.

Even with a little operation from Chu Feng behind the scenes, it was possible to make Chu Jianlan rise through the ranks continuously.

The Royal Family wronged the Sword King Mansion, and Chu Feng intended to avenge his father and reclaim justice for himself. He had long been prepared to stir chaos in the Jianyun Dynasty and overturn the Royal Family.

Now, it was a perfect opportunity.

If Prince Liu Mansion wants to shoot two hawks with one arrow, then Chu Feng would use their own methods against them. Killing two birds with one stone.

Luo Biao and the others didn’t take Chu Feng seriously at all, and coldly sneered, "Just you, a ’green’ kid, trying to command us soldiers around?"

"Hmph, you also want us to pledge undying loyalty to Chu Jianlan, this Waste? Based on what?"

Hou Ya also had a ferocious look and sternly said, "Accidentally killing Team Leader Wang, our crime is not small, but as the deputy team commander, Chu Jianlan’s crime is even greater."

"If we are sentenced to Execution, then wouldn’t he deservedly face being dismembered by five horses!"

These men were all crafty and experienced, definitely not so easily subdued. For Chu Feng to help his senior brother win them over was no easy feat.

Chu Jianlan stood with his sword held tightly, guarding closely beside Chu Feng to prevent Luo Biao and the others from making a move to kill Chu Feng.

"Haha, since you’re so keen on death, then I’ll grant it! As for my senior brother, even if he commits the gravest of sins, he can be exempted." Saying this, Chu Feng took out a gold token with a cold smile on his face.

It was adorned with a Five-clawed Golden Dragon and even had two extremely eye-catching golden characters on it.

Exempt from Death!

"This, this is a Death Exemption Token!"

Luo Biao and the others’ breathing became heavy, their eyes dead set on the Gold Token in Chu Feng’s hand.

All of them were itching to make their move, wanting to snatch the Death Exemption Token from Chu Feng’s grip.

In Chu Jianlan’s heart, waves of shock roared. When did her family acquire a Death Exemption Token? Where did her third brother get it from?

Moreover, the timing of Chu Feng’s appearance was a little too coincidental.

Plus, with Chu Feng’s composed and confident demeanor, Chu Jianlan was almost certain. Team Leader Wang’s death was related to her third brother.

Or rather, Team Leader Wang wanted to calculate against her third brother but ended up being outplayed instead.

Although her relationship with Team Leader Wang wasn’t great, he had no reason to kill her or her third brother. It seemed likely that Prince Liu Mansion was secretly plotting and giving orders from behind the scenes.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the situation, Chu Jianlan felt that she understood less and less about the third brother she’d watched grow up.

She discovered that her third brother was like an enigma.

The various skills and methods he displayed were increasingly astounding and made her, his senior brother, feel both admiration and shame.

"I advise you to behave yourselves. That will allow you to live longer!" As he finished speaking, Chu Feng clapped his hands twice. Two masters leaped down from the high walls on both sides of the alley.

Both emitting sword light, they were Great Sword Master Level experts.

Such powerful individuals were secretly protecting Chu Feng. This instantly extinguished any thoughts of resistance from Luo Biao and the others.

In their hearts, there was only despair.

"A wise man submits to circumstances. If you agree to serve my senior brother with unwavering loyalty, not only will you be spared from death, but you will also have great opportunities for promotion and wealth. If you refuse, then just like your Captain Wang, you might as well go meet King Yan below the ground!"

Chu Feng’s last word was accompanied by a chilling killing aura.

Even though Luo Biao and the others were seasoned soldiers, veterans of many battles and hardened by blood and fire, they couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably.

This youth was too terrifying. Engaging him meant being calculated at every turn, with no chance of resistance.

In front of Chu Feng, it was clear – those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

"My time is precious; I don’t have the luxury to dawdle with you. Since you’re unwilling to agree and all so eager to meet King Yan, then I’ll grant your wish!"

"Rest assured, after I kill you, I’ll have the scene staged to look like you and Captain Wang killed each other. My senior brother tried his best to stop it but was powerlessly unable to intervene. In the end, my senior brother will not only be blameless but will actually be meritorious."

"As for you all, just like Captain Wang, your death will be in vain."

Chu Feng’s face was cold and indifferent as he looked down upon the ten elite soldiers.

"Alright, I agree to your terms!"

"Damn it, I’m also willing to submit!"

...

All ten soldiers, one by one, gave their positions. No one wants to die. Loyalty to anyone is the same; following Chu Jianlan not only spares them from death, escaping this tribulation but also promises great opportunities for promotion and wealth in the future.

As long as their brains hadn’t been kicked by a donkey, they knew how to choose.

"Very good, since you’ve agreed, a mere oath is not enough. I have here ten Poison Pills. Once ingested, as long as you do not betray us, you’ll receive the antidote punctually."

"After a period of testing, as long as you’re sufficiently loyal, the Poisonous Elixir can be permanently cured."

A small porcelain bottle appeared in Chu Feng’s hand, and indeed it contained Poison Pills.

Brewed specifically for controlling others.

This was a lesson learned from past experiences.

Once these people consume the Poison Pills, any later betrayal would guarantee their deaths. There are far too few in the world who can counteract Chu Feng’s Poison Pills.
