396: Chapter 396: Interlocking Plan 396: Chapter 396: Interlocking Plan “Su Xuan, are you sure that Moro is here to assassinate you and not soone else?” Ivy asked seriously.
“I’m not sure.”
Su Xuan shook his head, then said with a chuckle, “But it doesn’t matter.
Although taking action will be troubleso, if he angers , I won’t mind crushing his skull!”
“Alright, then what do you plan to do next?
Are you going to take them out directly, or wait for them to make a move first and then kill Moro?” Zhao Xiaoyi asked.
She wanted to know Su Xuan’s plans.
Being too passive could easily lead to being manipulated by the opponent.
She didn’t like that feeling and wanted, at the least, to discuss a strategy.
She also believed that Su Xuan was capable of taking down this group of assassins, even if they were from an international killer organization like Shura Path.
“Of course, I’ll wait for them to make a move first!” Su Xuan said lazily, “Only then can I catch them all in one fell swoop.”
“What kind of logic is that?” Zhao Xiaoyi was a bit confused, looking at Su Xuan with an expression that begged for an explanation.
“You have to use your brain when you do things.
If they make the first move, then killing them would be self-defense.
That way, when my wife Cai Yin cos, she won’t complain that I’ve caused her trouble,” Su Xuan replied.
Zhao Xiaoyi looked at Su Xuan with so surprise, not expecting him to be so thoughtful.
At the sa ti, Zhao Xiaoyi seed to understand why Su Xuan had wanted her to co out with him, realizing he had lured the killers to the Seaside District to keep them away from Chen Wanqing.
She was moved by the many things Su Xuan had silently done for Chen Wanqing’s sake.
However, Zhao Xiaoyi was not angry with Su Xuan; she knew how formidable he was.
Qingshan City, Ancient City.
“Ji Shang, when we lost contact with Azure Dragon, it was in this area,” Ling Wei spoke up, “I suspect that Azure Dragon might have been captured by the enemy or even killed!”
Ji Shang’s expression was cold, exuding a sense of hostility, as he said, “No matter who it is, I must kill them to avenge Azure Dragon!”
Ling Wei’s eyes fird and she nodded, “Alright, let’s go in.”
“Wait a mont!”
A sharp light flashed in Ji Shang’s eyes as he shouted angrily, “After listening for so long, aren’t you coming out yet?”
“National Security’s Sky Group’s Ji Shang?
I’ve heard a lot about you!” Just then, a sowhat gentle voice ca from nearby, and Ji Shang’s eyes narrowed slightly to see a person approaching with a warm smile, exuding an air of refined elegance.
“Knowing it’s , yet not releasing the captive, do you not fear that I will kill you?” Ji Shang’s eyes narrowed, his face indifferent.
Ao Wushuang shook his head with a smile, “It seems you haven’t realized the predicant you’re in.”
“What do you an?” Ji Shang’s body emanated a chill.
“You are no match for ,” Ao Wushuang said.
“Have you considered the consequences of saying that?” Ji Shang’s expression grew colder: “Perhaps my proof will leave you with lifelong regret!”
“You’re welco to try.” Ao Wushuang remained smiling, unbothered.
Ling Wei frowned slightly and whispered, “Ji Shang, calm down a bit, and first ask him where Azure Dragon is.”
Ji Shang nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing to a slit: “Did my friend Azure Dragon co to this place?”
“What if he ca?
What if he didn’t?” Ao Wushuang asked with a smile.
“You’re courting death!” Ji Shang strode forward, a strong aura bursting forth, his Sky-Breaking Battle Intent rushing towards the complacent Ao Wushuang.
“Really?” Ao Wushuang smiled, moving swiftly to appear in front of Ji Shang and pointed a finger without any frills.
“Courting death!” Ji Shang sneered coldly, offended by Ao Wushuang’s casual flick.
But at that mont, Ji Shang’s gaze suddenly intensified, a destructive aura engulfing him.
Ao Wushuang’s fingertip seed to transform into an incredibly sharp weapon, with the killing aura of heaven and earth seemingly integrated into this single point, growing more terrifying as it approached.
“I can’t receive this finger!” A sense of desolation and defeat suddenly filled Ji Shang’s heart.
In face of this attack, his Sky-Breaking Will seed insignificant; he felt an undeniable sense of helplessness.
All the surrounding killing aura had vanished without a trace, the endless deathly aura now seed to freeze together, concentrated at Ao Wushuang’s fingertip, dreadfully terrifying.
Ji Shang was horrified; he couldn’t fathom the extent of this man’s prowess.
He had been invincible in Huaxia for over a decade but had recently been repeatedly bested by experts of such caliber—first by Su Xuan and now by this mysterious man in front of him.
No wonder Azure Dragon was no match, even he was not this person’s opponent!
“Puff puff…”
Soft noises sounded, and Ji Shang felt a slight pain as cuts appeared on his body, the power of a single finger so terrifying!
Ling Wei stood frozen, staring at Ji Shang in the eerily silent space.
“Drip drop…”
With a light sound, blood from Ji Shang’s body began to fall onto the ground.
“In martial arts, one first masters montum, then delves into the subtle: from leveraging montum to controlling it.
The potential of a person is boundless.
Only when the will has initially ford can one be called a Martial Venerate: by grasping the Martial Arts Profound aning, one can roam the world.”
Ao Wushuang spoke indifferently, “Great Achievent of Profound aning, be it swords, spears, sticks, or clubs…, fists, fingers, palms, legs, etc., can transform into anything.
A punch like a dragon or tiger, palm like wind and clouds, sword dominating heaven and earth, spear shattering the firmant.
And you, with only a Small Achievent of Profound aning, lacking the power of myriad transformations, how could you defeat with just your Sky-breaking Profound aning?”
Having realized sothing, Ji Shang asked with a detached expression, “Who are you?”
“Ao Wushuang!”
Ao Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back, a warm smile appearing on his face as he said, “Follow .
Don’t even think about escaping, it’s futile.”
Ao Wushuang!
Both Ji Shang and Ling Wei’s eyes narrowed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal as they followed behind Ao Wushuang to the Golden Palace ahead.
“Sit!”
Ao Wushuang seated himself cross-legged on a cushion, picking up a teapot with a refined, transcendental air, “Here, taste the Dahongpao tea I’ve brewed.”
Having arrived at the Golden Palace, Ji Shang and Ling Wei sat down cross-legged on two cushions, filled with doubts.
Was this person Ao Wushuang?
The top expert rumored within National Security?
With these questions in mind, as if suddenly realizing sothing, Ji Shang and Ling Wei were about to ask when Azure Dragon walked in from outside the hall, seated himself cross-legged next to Ji Shang, took a sip of fragrant tea, and said lightly, “You have doubts in your minds?
When I first ca here, I was just like you.”
“Azure Dragon, we thought…” Ling Wei sighed in relief, glanced at Azure Dragon, and asked, “What’s going on here?”
Azure Dragon’s lips curved into a slight smile as he said, “Did you think I, Azure Dragon, would die so easily?”
“Azure Dragon, stop teasing us.
Is this man Ao Wushuang?” Ji Shang pointed at Ao Wushuang and asked.
Azure Dragon nodded slightly, “If he wasn’t, we’d be dead by now!”
Ji Shang’s eyes tightened slightly, his heart rippling as if touched by sothing.
Ao Wushuang—the most mysterious figure who stood above the Four Major Groups within National Security, and the universally acknowledged number one expert—he had once boldly declared that he wanted to challenge Ao Wushuang, feeling quite dissatisfied with this so-called top expert.
But now, standing together, he realized he had underestimated Ao Wushuang, the recognized number one expert of National Security!
Ao Wushuang’s single-finger attack had defeated him, sothing he had never imagined possible!
“Ao Wushuang, can you tell what’s going on?” Ling Wei asked without holding back, “How did you beco an assassin of the Shura Path?”
“All this was just to capture Jiang Tiange and Jiang Chen!” Ao Wushuang’s face lost its smile as he said seriously, “This is complicated, and I need your cooperation to succeed.
Alone, I can’t do it and bring them to justice.”
Ling Wei was slightly startled—it seed Ao Wushuang’s words confird what she had suspected.
Could it be that Jiang Chen was not just an ordinary scion of a family, but held another identity, or more precisely, a special dual identity?
This dual identity was significant enough to draw the attention of National Security, to the extent that they arranged for Ao Wushuang, their top expert, to infiltrate their ranks to gather evidence of their cris.
What identity could garner such attention from National Security that even Ji Shang was left out of the loop?
Without Ao Wushuang revealing himself, they would never have suspected the cultured and scholarly young man before them to be Ao Wushuang.
Perhaps, subconsciously, they, along with many other National Security experts, imagined Ao Wushuang to be the kind of person who stood at the pinnacle, overlooking all others in solitary pride.
Yet, the real Ao Wushuang seed different from what they had imagined—humble, gentle, refined, almost as if a holy sage.
Maybe this version of Ao Wushuang was the true one, the exceptionally mysterious top expert of National Security!
“Ao Wushuang, can you tell us what exactly is going on?” Although Ling Wei knew this might be the highest secret of National Security, and only Ao Wushuang was privy to the entire situation, if they were to assist Ao Wushuang, they naturally needed to understand the circumstances to prevent any mistakes or accidents during their actions.
“Jiang Tiange and Jiang Chen have long been with the Shura Path,” Ao Wushuang said as he looked at Ling Wei.
“Their ambitions are vast.
Jiang Tiange is the Vice Sect Leader of the Shura Path, while Jiang Chen is the Third Team Leader.
Seventy percent of the Shura Path’s people secretly pledge allegiance to this father-son pair.
However, since the Shura Path’s Sect Leader is so powerful, without absolute certainty, Jiang Chen and his grandfather wouldn’t move against him.
My main mission in infiltrating the Shura Path was to investigate their ‘Holy Water’ of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Just like nuclear weapons, it’s critically important for the nation!”
“Of course, there are many other super agents from various countries lurking within the Six Paths of Reincarnation like , each playing a different role, ultimately aiming for the ‘Holy Water’ of the Six Paths.
This stuff is twisted—our National Security’s potions were developed using extractions from their Holy Water.
I won’t elaborate on its function, but Ji Shang, you’ve tried the A-grade Blue Potion, you should be acutely aware of its extraordinary abilities.
That Blue Potion is a pseudo semi-finished product refined from the Holy Water.”
