Chapter 1052: 703

Inside the Peaceful Tavern, the squint-eyed servant who killed Jindeng had completely assumed Jindeng’s identity and now called himself Jin Han.

At this moment, Jin Han was having a lively conversation with several invited guests.

Unlike the vile-tempered, lascivious Jindeng, Jin Han was courteous and scholarly. Many guests were willing to converse with him.

They were discussing the pressing matter of the Great Tang Protectorate’s mighty armies bearing down on them. As an undercover ally of Xuan City, and having stood in opposition to Great Tang Protectorate’s predecessor, the Chenhai Empire.

Upon receiving news that Great Tang’s forces, with unexpectedly powerful military strength, had started advancing toward Xuan City, Jin Han also received orders from within his own country to immediately join forces with the invited guests from other nations to exert pressure on Great Tang.

After all, it was a military force powerful enough to bulldoze through the entire continent.

It was only now that the high echelons of the Great Chen Kingdom realized that the Chenhai Empire, with whom they had been evenly matched in battle, was actually a slumbering dragon.

And at this moment, the dragon had awakened!

This realization sent a chill down the spine of the Great Chen Kingdom.

Therefore, they commanded Jin Han to recruit help by all means necessary, with the citizens of Xuan City as his primary target. Xuan City’s current stance was ambiguous; although they detested the Great Tang troops, they hadn’t taken any radical actions. Their queen hadn’t issued any orders against the Great Tang Protectorate.

Consequently, Jin Han thought to exacerbate the situation. His plan was to instigate conflict between Guo Yi’s Great Tang forces and the people of Xuan City.

As long as a life was lost, whether a citizen of Xuan City or someone from Great Tang, there would no longer be any chance for reconciliation between the two. This would be highly beneficial for Great Chen.

On the other hand, Jin Han actively reached out to various invited guests, those individuals being nobles of their nations or outstanding figures in their fields. Building a good relationship with them was even more advantageous in dealing with Great Tang.

Thus, he specifically chose the most upscale tavern in Xuan City to host these guests, hoping to gain some support or strike certain deals with them.

Moreover, many nations were interested in Great Chen’s berserker soldiers.

If one were to talk about the strongest army on the continent, it was naturally the armored brigade of the Great Tang Protectorate. Their strange technological creations and tight control over intelligence made it impossible for other nations to acquire the technology to produce their armored warriors.

But if one were to name the second most powerful military force, it would be the berserker soldiers of Great Chen. They were the only ones on the continent capable of standing against the armored brigade without being utterly crushed.

The mysterious training methods of the soldiers left other nations in awe. After all, each of the berserkers was as strong as an ox, an enemy to a hundred on the battlefield.

This time, Jin Han used the training methods of the berserker soldiers as a trade proposal, enticing the invited guests from various nations.

As for whether he would actually provide it later, that was another matter.

While Jin Han and several guests were toasting and discussing how to deal with Great Tang,

he heard a disturbance coming from below the tavern. According to his subordinates’ reports, it was the girl who had seriously injured Jindeng with a punch, now being besieged by Xuan City’s Royal Guards.

Upon hearing this news, Jin Han was surprised and delighted. He had already suspected that Li Changhe was from the Great Tang Protectorate, and a conflict between Great Tang and the people of Xuan City couldn’t be better.

However, just as this thought surfaced,

on the streets, the sharp and swift light of the sword hurt everyone’s eyes.

There they saw Qiu Wentian, sword in hand, becoming a flash of light too quick for the naked eye to follow, instantly passing through the encirclement of the Royal Guards, through the tight military array of the patrolling troops.

Even a perfect warrior transformed by the Insect God’s True Blood could only see a blurry figure flash before their eyes.

With the enhancement of the three-fold Sword Dance, Qiu Wentian’s agility attribute reached 13 points in a short time. As a player who primarily focused on strength, she amplified her physical output after using Sword Dance, gaining 13 points of agility.

She possessed double A-rankings in strength and speed.

At that moment, she was terrifyingly strong—stronger than she had ever been in any previous battle. After all, her past enemies had never allowed her to unleash the Sword Dance...

Without any hesitation, she performed the Yue Nu Swordsmanship—a technique so formidable that even three thousand iron-clad warriors could not withstand it.

The four Berserker Guards stationed at the tavern’s entrance only saw a flash of sword light, swifter than a departing arrow, flashing before their eyes.

Before they could even raise their weapons or alert others, they felt severe pain in their chests and necks as their thick plate armor was effortlessly sliced open.

However, the sword light did not pause and continued inside the tavern.

Just like the Berserker Guards at the entrance, those inside the tavern could not react in time before their chests and necks were sliced open.

A server carrying dishes suddenly saw a bright flash before him and realized that the Berserker Guard in full plate armor beside him had two wounds, from which blood spurted out like blooming blood lotuses throughout the tavern.

Wherever the sword light passed, the Berserker Guards stood stiffly, followed by the flowering of blood lotuses.

And when Qiu Wentian appeared before the private room on the fourth floor, still within Jin Han’s view, the schadenfreude on Jin Han’s face had not yet faded.

From Jin Han’s perspective, a petite figure suddenly appeared at the room’s door, while the two Berserker Guards stationed there stood unmoving.

"What..." Everything happened so fast that Jin Han didn’t even understand what was going on. The girl in front of him threw her notched flexible sword, striking Jin Han precisely in the chest and pinning him to the wall amid the screams of the guests. It was only then that the two Guards at the door collapsed heavily to the floor.

The intense assault flushed Qiu Wentian’s cheeks slightly, and she coolly fanned herself with a small hand while looking at Jin Han nailed to the wall and whispered, "Come on, let’s show everyone your true face."

Only then did Jin Han look down at the soft sword in his chest and the horrified looks in the guests’ eyes.

Those ’good friends’ who had been happily drinking with him a moment ago now looked at him with eyes filled with shock and even terror.

How... Jin Han reached out an arm seeking help, only to find his limb grotesquely mutating, with muscles uncontrollably bulging into large lumps, out of which baby-like arms began to grow.

"No!!!" Jin Han screamed in horror. He realized... the Great Chen Kingdom’s biggest secret had been exposed!

Meanwhile, inside and outside the tavern, the outer city patrol and Xuan City’s Royal Guard, along with the onlookers from Xuan City, watched in horror as the Berserker Guards began to undergo drastic mutations.

Their muscles bulged and their skeletons twisted, as if demons were clawing their way out of their bodies.

"What in the world is this?" A female soldier stepped back in fear.

"Aliens! They are aliens!" the captain of the patrol team went pale with fright: "It’s actually... actually true... Oh Lord of Xuan City... this is actually true!"

Her faith seemed to be crumbling...

"My queen... you actually... you truly betrayed us!"
