Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

So beautiful and yet so powerful, but refusing to tell Chu Feng her name, that really depressed him.

Chu Feng had just stepped out of the secret chamber, his seat not even warm yet, when he heard Han Qianren’s faint voice.

"Master, quickly hide in the secret chamber, Bloody Beard is here!"

Unexpectedly, Han Qianren’s efficiency was incredibly high; it took less than half a quarter hour to deceive Bloody Beard into coming.

This could only be chalked up to Bloody Beard seeking his own death.

Bloody Beard, because he accepted silver from Prince Liu to assassinate Chu Feng. Even though Sword King Mansion was weak, it held strong influence in the military. Even someone as ruthless as Bloody Beard dared not personally execute Chu Feng.

He also worried that if his wicked acts were revealed, the Royal Family or other enemies would seize the opportunity to use it against him and eradicate the Blood Sword Gang.

After much consideration, Bloody Beard used a Puppet Elixir to control the Han Family Master, turning him into his assassination weapon. He sent the Han Family Master to kill Chu Feng, so that even if the evil deed was exposed, it wouldn’t be traced back to him.

Having dispatched the Han Family Master, Bloody Beard still felt uneasy.

After all, it was his first time using the Puppet Elixir.

Hence, Bloody Beard followed behind the Han Family Master to monitor and direct the operation.

He watched with his own eyes as the Han Family Master snuck into Sword King Mansion and came out after a long while. He concluded that the Han Family Master must have succeeded.

Because Sword King Mansion had no Great Sword Master Level experts at all.

After receiving Chu Feng’s instructions, Han Family Master feigned ignorance and easily deceived the cunning and vicious Bloody Beard into Sword King Mansion.

How did he talk to Bloody Beard?

He told Bloody Beard that after killing Chu Feng, he hadn’t alerted anyone. Moreover, he hadn’t inflicted any wounds on Chu Feng’s body.

Instead, he wanted Bloody Beard’s help to create a false scene, making outsiders believe that Chu Feng died due to the onset of fire poison, his body burned to ashes.

Upon hearing this, Bloody Beard greatly praised the plan.

Such deceptive worldly society tactics were his forte. Without a second word, he followed Han Qianren into Sword King Mansion.

Not only could he eliminate Chu Feng, but also leave no traces behind, avoiding investigation and risk.

...

Having received the notification from Han Qianren, Chu Feng immediately activated the secret chamber’s mechanism.

Boom! The door of the secret chamber opened again.

The black-clothed woman inside was fiery-eyed, glaring furiously at Chu Feng.

This bastard was too presumptuous.

The first time, he knew she was bathing and barged in.

Just seconds after she drove him out, he brazenly burst in again.

"You bastard... How dare you barge in again and again! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?" The black-clothed woman’s fingertips radiated sword light, and without further words, she slashed towards Chu Feng.

"Don’t move! Someone is coming to kill me again!"

"The assassin is right outside, about to come in!"

Chu Feng narrowly dodged the attack, a lock of hair falling to the ground, scaring him into a cold sweat.

Peeping at such a stunning beauty like the black-clothed woman was exciting, but the consequences were severe. Her strength was immense, her temper not great, and when she killed, she wouldn’t even blink an eye.

Luckily, Han Qianren brought Bloody Beard into the secret chamber.

The black-clothed woman’s raised hand did not fall.

"Uh... The Chu lad is not dead, and now there’s another woman... Han Qianren, did you deceive me?" Bloody Beard’s fierce eyes swept over and upon seeing the situation inside the secret chamber, his facial expression turned extremely ugly.

Being an old hand in the worldly society, he immediately sensed that something was amiss upon entering the secret chamber.

Boom boom boom!

Chu Feng had already activated the secret room’s mechanism, closing the thick stone gate.

"The famous Gang Leader of the Blood Sword Gang has graced us with his presence, and I, Chu, have nothing much to offer in hospitality! Let them both put on a splendid show of catching turtles in a jar!" With the black-clothed woman and Han Qianren as two powerful allies, Chu Feng’s confidence had grown significantly.

Bloody Beard’s strength should be inferior to Han Qianren.

Having two people take care of Bloody Beard was more than sufficient.

"I am familiar with every person from the Sword King Mansion, and she is not from your mansion. With such youth and the cultivation of a Great Sword Master, along with that attire, could she be the female assassin the city is frantically searching for?"

"Also, Han Qianren was clearly controlled by me, why is he now following your orders?"

Bloody Beard’s mind was indeed sharp; within mere seconds, he had deduced much. His fierce eyes were constantly whirling, silently moving closer to Chu Feng.

In the current situation, Chu Feng was the weakest in terms of strength, while both Han Qianren and the black-clothed woman were experts of Great Sword Master Level.

Moreover, Chu Feng was the center of the two.

If he could capture Chu Feng, it would be like seizing the Emperor to command the feudal lords, at least ensuring a smooth escape.

Bloody Beard, as a veteran of the worldly society adept at street fights, quickly came up with the best combat plan in an extremely short period of time.

This was also his only chance for a turnaround.

Seeing Bloody Beard approaching, Chu Feng immediately understood his real intentions.

In front of an Alchemy Venerate who had lived for countless years, playing tricks and scheming, Bloody Beard was still too inexperienced. Chu Feng could tell what he was up to just by the way he moved.

"You wish to deal with me?"

Chu Feng sneered coldly, flicking his fingers consecutively, launching streaks of orange-yellow Abnormal Fire flying towards Bloody Beard.

They even formed into a net of flames, blocking Bloody Beard’s advance.

"Abnormal Fire!"

This time, Bloody Beard was truly as shocked as if he had seen a ghost, staring at Chu Feng.

Faced with the fire net woven by the incoming Abnormal Fire, Bloody Beard was terrified out of his wits and hastily retreated. He dared not let the Abnormal Fire touch him at all.

To an ordinary Sword Cultivator, Abnormal Fire was even more terrifying than the Grim Reaper’s scythe.

Just a slight touch on the body and one would immediately be ignited, burning to ashes.

At least that is how most would understand it.

Those Pill Masters who possessed Abnormal Fire, in battles, just by showing the Abnormal Fire, could make an opponent far stronger than themselves turn and flee in sheer panic.

Bloody Beard’s retreat was a disaster; behind him, Han Qianren had become Chu Feng’s servant and had already launched a sneak attack.

Bloody Beard was essentially moving forward to meet it.

"Shi la!"

A dreadful sword light tore a half-foot long gash on Bloody Beard’s back.

"Why aren’t you lending a hand to subdue Bloody Beard together?" Chu Feng had thought the black-clothed woman would join in the attack, but unexpectedly, this young lady exhibited the temperament of a Lady from a noble family.

She was merely watching coldly from the sidelines without taking action.

A great opportunity to take down Bloody Beard was wasted in vain.

"Why should I take orders from you? I’m not your servant!" the black-clothed woman retorted with dissatisfaction.

"My lady... if you don’t take action now, Bloody Beard is no easy target. If he employs some wicked worldly societal trick, and the tables turn, my misfortune would be a minor issue. But you, a beauty fresh as flowers, falling into his hands, the outcome would be extremely tragic."

Chu Feng knew very well that the best way to deal with a worldly hooligan like Bloody Beard was to take him down with a thunderous force.

Not giving him any chance to play his trump card.
