Chapter 226

Zhao Guo was far away from the Qin Empire.

Under normal circumstances, it was clearly impossible to send only two envoys. After all, the journey was long, and no one could be sure whether these two envoys would encounter bandits. Reasonably, they should send some soldiers to protect their safety.

But for Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang, there was no need for this.

Both of them were Mohist leaders and top experts. If they encountered bandits, it was hard to say who would kill whom. Even if they really could not beat them, there were only two of them, and it would be much easier to escape.

Starting from the Yi River, they went toward the direction of the Qin Empire.

Not long after, Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang encountered someone blocking the road. Rather than someone blocking the road, it was more like an old man happened to run into them by chance.

The old man seemed to be a sword-appraiser. Upon seeing Jing Ke, he saw the "Residual Rainbow Sword" carried on Jing Ke's back at the first glance. Although this sword needed to be hidden in a specially made map scroll in the end, Jing Ke still carried it with him before that. This was an unprecedented fierce sword that hurt both others and oneself. To fully exert the power of this sword, one had to adapt to it.

Since obtaining this sword, Jing Ke had carried it with him while sleeping and eating. Now, he had gradually adapted to the fierce and evil aura released by this sword.

"What a fierce sword!"

Looking at this sword, the old man sighed.

Hearing this, Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang felt a chill in their hearts at the same time. The Residual Rainbow Sword was a murder weapon forged by exhausting the power of the Mohist faction for the purpose of Dragon Slaying. It could not be seen through by this mysterious visitor.

The old man did not seem to have any other intentions. After carefully sensing the fierce and evil aura on the sword, he did not forcibly ask Jing Ke to show him the sword. He looked at Jing Ke, the master of the sword, and said a sentence, "This sword is host-harming. Remember, if the sword is there, the person is there; if the sword breaks, the person dies!"

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.

"This..."

Watching the old man leave, Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang looked at each other, extremely surprised, not knowing what to say.

After meeting the mysterious sword-appraiser, Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang did not encounter any mysterious people on the way.

Their journey to the Qin Empire was quite smooth. After arriving in the Qin Empire, Ying Zheng did not meet them immediately but arranged for them to stay in the embassy.

Living in the Qin Empire, in a strange embassy.

Qin Qin Wuyang, who had been heroic and promised Yan Dan that he would definitely kill Ying Zheng, became somewhat panicked and uneasy instead.

Although Qin Qin Wuyang killed people at the age of thirteen, that was all due to a burst of violent energy buried in his heart. After killing someone, he was actually a bit scared. Later, with Yan Dan's help, he joined the Mohist faction. In the Mohist faction, he learned many things. The Mohist faction advocated non-aggression and opposed such violent and fierce behavior, so the violent energy in Qin Qin Wuyang's heart was also worn away a lot.

After arriving in the Qin Empire this time, seeing the power of the Qin Empire, for some reason, a sense of cowardice arose in Qin Qin Wuyang's heart, and he gradually became somewhat confused.

"Can I really kill Ying Zheng in the Qin Empire, in the Zhangtai Palace?"

This was a matter even more difficult than taking the head of an enemy general in the midst of ten thousand troops.

Even though Yan Dan had told them before they came that they had an inside contact in the Qin Empire, once they truly arrived in the Qin Empire, Qin Qin Wuyang was still somewhat panicked.

Jing Ke, on the other hand, had a calm expression, as always.

After arriving in the Qin Empire, the long sword that had been carried on his back was hidden in the map scroll of the Dukang land.

During this time, he did not even drink his favorite wine, just to adjust his state to the peak, and then strike that most fatal sword.

Just when Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang were preparing separately.

This night, there were no stars or moon, and the world was pitch black.

Two figures quietly arrived beside the embassy.

Inside the embassy, Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang stood guard by the lamp. They looked at each other without speaking, and had no intention of going out. When they came to the Qin Empire as envoys of Zhao Guo, they knew that many people were already watching them. Going out at this time would only expose their flaws and expose what they wanted to do.

So the best choice was to remain motionless.

"It's truly rare that you are not drinking!"

An old voice came out, falling into Jing Ke's ears.

Hearing this voice, Jing Ke's body shook slightly, and Qin Qin Wuyang also turned his head sharply, looking in the direction the voice came from.

In the darkness, a figure walked over slowly.

As the other party approached, the lamp shone on the other party's face. Seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang were both horrified.

"Six-Fingered Leader!"

"How could this be?"

Jing Ke and Qin Qin Wuyang never expected that a person who was already dead would suddenly appear before them.

Is it a hallucination?

Waking up from the shock, Jing Ke guessed again.

Or was it someone disguised as the Six-Fingered Leader, deliberately appearing before him?

Jing Ke was more inclined to the latter. For this period of time, he had rarely drunk wine, so it was impossible for him to have hallucinations.

Thinking of this, he immediately released his murderous intent, stared at the person in front of him, and said coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

Hearing Jing Ke's cold questioning, the Six-Fingered Black Knight was also stunned, and then he knew why Jing Ke had this attitude, because in the eyes of the Mohists, he was already a dead man.

Even Yan Dan, the culprit, firmly believed he was dead.

The reason was that Su Xuan performed the "Finger Transformation" technique in front of him, watching a piece of wood and stone turn into his corpse. The Six-Fingered Black Knight suddenly understood why Yan Dan was so certain he was dead.

Su Xuan's move was truly magical!

"Jing Ke, do you not even recognize me?" The Six-Fingered Black Knight said in a deep voice, and then he said some of Jing Ke's secrets. These were things only he knew. When the city of Puyang was broken, he saved Jing Ke and then brought Jing Ke into the Mohist faction, treating him as a personal disciple and teaching him martial arts. Many secrets were things that happened during the process of him teaching Jing Ke Mohist martial arts.

It could be said that these things were known only to him and Jing Ke in the whole world.

Qin Qin Wuyang listened to the Six-Fingered Black Knight telling Jing Ke some things and said coldly, "The Six-Fingered Leader is dead. No matter who you are, no matter what you say, don't think you can deceive us. Who exactly are you?"

A mysterious person disguised as the Six-Fingered Leader came before them. Did he already know their identities as Mohist leaders?

Was their mission exposed?

Qin Qin Wuyang could not help but have some guesses.

Then he heard Jing Ke say, "Qin Wuyang!!"

Qin Qin Wuyang turned his head to look at Jing Ke.

Jing Ke's expression was complex, and his tone was heavy, "... e might truly be the Six-Fingered Leader!"
