Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 75 Clean and Decisive

Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Clean and Decisive

"Kill me? Let’s see who dares to lay a finger on me!" Bloody Beard’s ferocity was unmatched, even in the face of the military forces of the Royal Capital, he remained brazenly defiant.

The Blood Sword Gang’s ability to dominate in the Royal Capital for so many years was not merely about extorting protection money.

Its influence had long since infiltrated among the many important figures of the Royal Capital.

Many big shots in the Royal Capital might look glorious on the surface, but secretly they were gripped by the shortcomings and vulnerabilities that Bloody Beard held over them, each one having to give him some face.

The terrifying sword light revealed itself at the tip of Bloody Beard’s sword.

The strength of a Great Sword Master markedly intimidated every soldier present.

The majority of soldiers brought in by Liu Kui were merely his scattered troops, the ordinary soldiers he used for his routine casework.

Their strength was far inferior to that of the Forbidden Army from the Imperial Palace outside.

Of course, the Forbidden Army outside was not something that Liu Kui could command at will. They were managed by the leader of the Forbidden Army.

Only if the female assassin was found would the Forbidden Army outside take action.

As for the current situation where Liu Kui, under the guise of hunting for the assassin, was using his authority for personal revenge to suppress Sword King Mansion.

The leader of the Forbidden Army was no fool and would not get involved at all.

"Gang Leader Hu... it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! If I had known you were here, I would never have dared be presumptuous! I am here today on imperial orders to arrest an assassin, and I would not dare to offend you!"

Liu Kui, sweating cold sweat from the pain, pressed several points on his severed arm to stop the bleeding.

With a mournful face, his arm being chopped off by Bloody Beard, he dared not seek revenge, and instead had to bow and scrape, repeatedly apologizing.

In the Royal Capital, he was just a suspension mirror master and truly had no way to confront someone like Bloody Beard.

He was very clear about the weight Bloody Beard carried.

In the entire Jianyun Dynasty, there were several superpowers that were on par with the Royal Family.

Apart from the Four Great Families, the Blood Sword Gang was the strongest.

"What do you mean by misunderstanding? You beat up Pill Master Chu Feng’s senior brother severely, and even tried to do something unsuitable to his beautiful wife. Even I wouldn’t stoop as low as you!"

"Don’t think that cutting off one of your arms is the end of it. Whether I spare your dog’s life or not is still up to what Pill Master Chu Feng decides!"

Bloody Beard’s words almost made Liu Kui vomit blood from anger.

He was taking advantage of the fire to rob Chu Jianlan’s wife, which was indeed despicable. But compared to Bloody Beard, he was merely a minor player in the presence of a great one.

Who didn’t know of Bloody Beard’s notorious reputation?

For Bloody Beard, bullying a woman was nothing compared to the other bad deeds he had done.

But Liu Kui dared not make a sound in retort.

He was also quite a perceptive person and vaguely sensed the deeper meaning in Bloody Beard’s words.

And it carried a sense of trying to curry favor with Chu Feng.

Liu Kui, enduring the pain of his severed arm, bulged his jaundiced fierce eyes staring at Chu Feng.

In ordinary times, for the most worthless prince of Sword King Mansion, Liu Kui wouldn’t even spare a proper glance. But now, he had to look at Chu Feng with an earnest and shocked gaze.

Bloody Beard made it very clear.

Liu Kui’s fate depended on what Chu Feng thought.

After scrutinizing Chu Feng up and down several times, Liu Kui really couldn’t see anything special about him?

He couldn’t help but say to Bloody Beard, "Gang Leader Hu, we are all prominent figures of the Royal Capital, inevitably running into each other. With your status and position, there’s really no need to get involved with Sword King Mansion’s affairs."

"Why don’t you leave first? Don’t worry about the affairs of Sword King Mansion! I’m here on an imperial order after all."

Liu Kui intended not to bother with Bloody Beard anymore, aiming to send this Plague God away first. Then he could deal with Sword King Mansion afresh.

Out of fear for Bloody Beard, he deliberately emphasized the words ’imperial command’ heavily.

"Even when acting on imperial command, there are rules to follow! Did the Emperor order you to barge into someone’s home, grievously injure the male host for no reason, and bully his wife?"

Bloody Beard simply did not take this seriously.

Manipulation and scheming, Liu Kui was no match for him.

"Chu Feng, Pill Master, everything is up to you! Life or death, it all depends on your word!" Bloody Beard said respectfully to Chu Feng.

At this, Liu Kui’s complexion completely changed.

Even playing the imperial command card was useless, and Bloody Beard’s respectful attitude towards Chu Feng was utterly shocking to him.

Since when did a formidable figure like Bloody Beard, whose ferocity was known far and wide, show such respect to Chu Feng, the ’waste’ Third Prince of Sword King Mansion? What exactly was the reason?

Could it be that Bloody Beard also had designs on Chu Yun?

Wanting to take Chu Yun as a bride to become the Gang Leader’s wife?

Even so, there was absolutely no need to curry favor with Chu Feng. After all, currying favor with Chu Jianlan, the Eldest Prince, would be much more effective.

Amidst Liu Kui’s suspicions and confusion, Chu Feng, the inconspicuous ’waste’, finally spoke up.

"For bullying my brother and insulting my sister-in-law! Death is deserved!"

These eight short words were decisive and ruthless, without hesitation, like the King Yan deciding fate, enforcing death at the third watch, leaving no one alive till the fifth.

Upon receiving Chu Feng’s order, Bloody Beard did not hesitate in the slightest and, in front of many soldiers, drew his sword and slashed at Liu Kui.

"No... you can’t kill me..."

"Ah——"

The voice abruptly ceased, and Liu Kui didn’t even get a chance to flee before he was beheaded on the spot by Bloody Beard. Until death, he still had his eyes wide open, filled with shock, horror, and resentment.

He never understood why Bloody Beard was so obedient to Chu Feng’s words.

Even when it came to slaying an imperial envoy sent by the Emperor, he did not even blink. Just killed on command.

The Senior brother and sister-in-law were both stunned by the sight of the slain Liu Kui.

"Third brother, by killing him, you’ve brought great trouble upon us... Oh dear, what in the world are we to do now?"

Chu Jianlan ignored his injuries, pacing anxiously.

The Royal Family had been wanting to eliminate Sword King Mansion, and now they had killed an imperial envoy sent by the Emperor, which was a serious crime, providing others with a handle against them.

"Senior brother is being foolish, he was about to humiliate your wife right in front of you. Is killing a man still something to hesitate over?"

"A true man has his dos and don’ts. One can be forbearing, but must never be cowardly, nor live in a wretched existence."

Chu Feng’s character was mature and wise; when it was time to act, he was clear-cut.

Just like when he killed Chief Luo, when it was time to kill, there was no hesitation.

Senior brother’s fears are putting himself in jeopardy. Formerly, when Chief Luo was alive, Chu Feng and the others couldn’t even speak without writing.

Chief Luo even dared to publicly harass and insult Chu Feng’s sister-in-law when the Senior brother was not in the mansion.

At this moment, Prince Liu, sensing something amiss inside, also hurried over.

But even before he entered the room, he saw the dismembered body of Liu Kui.

"Very well, how dare the people of Sword King Mansion kill an imperial minister entrusted with a royal mission to pursue an assassin! You must be harbouring the assassin, openly defying an imperial minister sent by the Emperor, akin to rebellion, all nine clans should be exterminated!"

Prince Liu stood outside, striking a commanding presence, loudly denouncing Sword King Mansion’s crimes.

One serious accusation after another came down on them, seeking to doom Sword King Mansion.
