Chapter 193: Jiang Qin's Unyielding End
Chapter 193: Jiang Qin's Unyielding End
"Heh... heh..."
The five men known as the Five Roosters simultaneously dropped their weapons, clutching their throats as they staggered backward. After taking two steps, they fell to the ground.
Black-faced Man was startled by the appearance of 'Jiang Qin', his eyes widening in fury. "Good, good, good! I never expected that while the Twelve Zodiac Signs were busy hunting wild geese, we would be pecked by one. You actually dared to..."
The next moment, Jiang Feng removed the human skin mask from his face and asked, "What do you mean by 'black eat'?"
Black-faced Man was left stunned, his eyes wide as saucers. "You... You're Jiang Feng?"
Jiang Feng crouched down and lifted the mask off the fake 'Jiang Feng', revealing Jiang Qin's face underneath.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't expect those Five Roosters to be so fast. I wasn't able to save you in time!" Jiang Feng said in a low voice.
Jiang Qin: "..."
Black-faced Man: "..."
"If there's anything you wish for before you die, tell me, and I'll make sure it happens," Jiang Feng said.
Staring at Jiang Feng, who wore an earnest and pained expression, Jiang Qin let out two more "heh" sounds before dying.
Until his last breath, Jiang Qin never knew if Jiang Feng had truly been too slow.
And until his dying breath, Jiang Feng never released the pressure points he had sealed.
Perhaps this was how Jiang Qin's story should have ended—dying by the hands of the assassin he had hired to kill his original body, and by his own scheming.
Who knew if, in his final moments, Jiang Qin had finally understood?
Jiang Feng: ヽ(^Д^)
/
Black-faced Man watched as the pained expression on Jiang Feng's face suddenly vanished, replaced by disbelief. "You knew he betrayed you long ago?"
Jiang Feng nodded and sighed. "I always wanted to give him a chance."
Looking at Jiang Qin's lifeless body, Black-faced Man thought, I don't believe you for a second!
The Twelve Zodiac Signs were already known for their cruelty and cunning, but who would have thought that this gentleman, Jiang Feng, could play with their hearts and kill with such finesse, despite his innocent appearance?
Black-faced Man took two steps back, forcing a smile. "Congratulations to Master Jiang for eliminating the traitor. It's truly a cause for celebration. We were also enticed by him, which is why we came to block your path. Now that Jiang Qin is dead, our misunderstanding has been resolved. I shall take my leave."
Jiang Feng's eyebrows rose slightly as he took two steps forward. "But I killed your Five Roosters."
Black-faced Man retreated again, his eyes darting nervously. "Those are minor issues. The Five Roosters took the initiative to attack you, and they deserved their fate. We would never dare to seek revenge on you!"
Although Jiang Feng had just assassinated them, the sharpness and skill of his swordplay were undeniable, and Black-faced Man had witnessed it firsthand. How could he dare to face Jiang Feng alone now?
He had been in the jianghu for over a decade and had never encountered such a swift and fierce swordsmanship.
If it had been him, he definitely wouldn't have sought revenge for Si Chenk Ke, because although the Twelve Zodiac Signs worked together, they had no real emotional attachment to each other.
However, whether or not to take revenge would ultimately depend on Wei Wuya's decision.
Speaking of Wei Wuya...
Black-faced Man couldn't help but glance toward the north.
This time, he and the Five Roosters had been robbing and causing trouble in the Xianghan area when they happened to encounter Wei Wuya, who was carrying a large amount of valuables and heading toward a martial arts sanctuary in Shennongjia.
At that time, they had met with Black-faced Man and his group and had also seen Jiang Qin, who said he would come find them once the task was completed.
"Big Brother, where are you? Can you come and save your little brother's life?"
As he watched Jiang Feng approach with a gentle smile on his face, Black-faced Man's heart sank. He no longer dared to linger, and his figure retreated, ready to flee.
"Too slow." Jiang Feng's flat voice rang in Black-faced Man's ear. "You're so much thinner than her, yet your qinggong is so much worse.
However, Jiang Feng merely sidestepped and swung his sword, causing a spray of blood to erupt from Black-faced Man's arm.
Black-faced Man roared in fury but couldn't escape the circle of Jiang Feng's sword. After just five moves, his right arm was disabled, and he watched as Jiang Feng's sword tip pointed at his throat.
"No!" Black-faced Man shouted in refusal, and then he saw a short figure rushing out from the northern mountains.
A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. "Brother Wei, save me..."
Before he could finish his plea, Jiang Feng's sword pierced his throat.
At the same time, Jiang Feng turned and saw a dwarf rushing out from the northern mountains. The dwarf then leaped from a treetop, soaring through the sky like a bird.
When the dwarf was in mid-air, he heard Black-faced Man's voice and turned his head, causing his gaze to meet Jiang Feng's in the air.
One was a handsome and graceful young gentleman, as elegant as jade.
The other was a dwarf with a twisted and hideous appearance, with short legs and a stunted body.
In the next moment, the dwarf disappeared into the mountain on the opposite side, the sound of rustling leaves lingering for a moment before fading away.
Jiang Feng's eyes flickered with surprise.
To be honest, after encountering Yin Jiuyou, he had gained a rough understanding of the martial arts skills of the Ten Villains and the Twelve Zodiac Signs. Although they were all first-rate experts, they no longer posed much of a threat to him.
At most, he would need to be cautious of Blood Hand Du Sha and Wei Wuya.
However, one of them hid in the Villain's Valley, while the other stayed in the depths of Turtle Mountain. As long as he didn't go to their territories, he didn't need to worry about them.
That was why he dared to use Jiang Qin as bait and enter the trap alone. Apart from knowing that the Twelve Zodiac Signs would act in groups of two or three at most, he was also confident in his ability to escape unscathed.
As it turned out, he was right. Only Si Chenk Ke and Black-faced Man had blocked his path, just like in the original story, without the presence of the Golden Ape Star or the Seven Greeting Dogs. Perhaps they didn't think his martial arts were worth their attention.
But he never expected to encounter Wei Wuya here!
Despite Wei Wuya's dwarfism, his light martial arts and agility were almost on par with Yin Jiuyou's. And the skill that made him famous in the martial arts world wasn't even his lightwork!
It was just that...
Why was he here instead of hiding in the depths of Turtle Mountain after suffering a setback at Moving Flower Palace?
Had he not gone to Moving Flower Palace yet?
Also, his lightwork was truly impressive. No wonder he could escape from the Moving Flower Palace sisters. Even if Yan Nantian wanted to kill him, he might not be able to catch up to him.
Jiang Feng watched as Wei Wuya swung through the air and disappeared into the mountains. He brandished his long sword, ready for Wei Wuya to burst out of the trees and attack him.
But after waiting for a long time, the other party still didn't appear.
"What's going on?" Jiang Feng's eyes flickered. "Doesn't he care about the deaths of Si Chenk Ke and Black-faced Man? After all, he's the leader of the Twelve Zodiac Signs, and he's the one who organized them. Could it be that..."
"Did you kill these five chickens and one pig?" A crisp, agile, and lively voice, tinged with a hint of childishness, sounded from behind Jiang Feng.
The next moment, another ethereal, distant, cold, yet gentle voice asked, "Who are you?"
