Chapter 367

Under normal circumstances, it was obviously 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 and legally, they should send some soldiers to protect their safety.

But for Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang, this was not necessary.

They were both Mohist leaders and top experts. If they encountered bandits, it was hard to say who would kill whom. Even if they really couldn't beat them, there were only two of them, so it would be much easier to escape.

Starting from the Yi River, they headed toward the direction of the Qin Guo.

Not long after, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang encountered someone blocking the road—or rather, it was more like a coincidence that an old man happened to bump into them.

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

Ever since obtaining this sword, Jing Ke had carried it with him day and night. By now, he had gradually adapted to the fierce, murderous aura released by this sword.

"What a fierce sword!"

Looking at this sword, the old man sighed.

Upon hearing this, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang felt a chill in their hearts at the same time. The Canhong sword was a murderous weapon forged by the entire Mohist School, intended for slaughtering the dragon; it could not be seen through by this mysterious visitor.

The old man didn't seem to have any other intentions. After carefully sensing the murderous aura on the sword, he didn't force Jing Ke to let him see the sword. He looked at Jing Ke, the master of the sword, and said a sentence: "This sword is harmful to the master. Remember: as long as the sword is there, the person is there; if the sword breaks, the person dies!"

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

"This..."

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

After encountering the mysterious sword appraiser, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang never encountered any mysterious people on their journey.

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

Living in the land of Qin, in a strange embassy.

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

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

After coming to the Qin Guo this time and seeing the power of the Qin Guo, for some reason, a sense of timidity arose in Qin Wuyang's heart. He gradually became somewhat bewildered.

"Can I really kill Ying Zheng in the Qin Guo, in the Xianyang Palace?"

This was a more difficult thing than taking the head of an enemy general among ten thousand troops.

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

Jing Ke, however, had a calm expression, as always.

After arriving in the Qin Guo, the long sword he had been carrying on his back was hidden in the scroll of the Dukang land.

During this period, he didn't even drink his favorite wine, just to adjust his state to the peak, and then stab that most fatal sword.

Just when Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were preparing separately.

This night, there were no stars or moon, and the world was in complete darkness.

Two figures quietly arrived beside the embassy.

Inside the embassy, Jing Ke and 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 Guo as envoys of the State of Yan, they knew that many people were already watching them. Going out at this time would only be discovered by others, and then what they wanted to do would be exposed.

So the best choice was to remain motionless.

"It's truly rare that you've actually stopped drinking!"

An old voice came out and fell into Jing Ke's ears.

Jing Ke's body trembled slightly upon hearing this voice, and 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. After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang were both incomparably shocked.

"Leader Six Fingers!"

"How could this be?"

Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang never imagined that a person who had already died would suddenly appear in front of them.

Was it a hallucination?

Waking up from the shock, Jing Ke guessed again.

Or was it that someone was disguised as Leader Six Fingers, appearing in front of him on purpose?

Jing Ke was more inclined to the latter. He had rarely drunk wine for some time, so it was impossible for him to hallucinate.

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

The Black Hero with Six Fingers was also stunned upon hearing Jing Ke's cold questioning, and then he knew why Jing Ke had this attitude, because in the eyes of the Mohist people, he was already a dead man.

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

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

This hand of Su Xuan was truly miraculous!

"Jing Ke, don't you even recognize me?" The Black Hero with Six Fingers spoke in a deep voice, and then said some of Jing Ke's secrets. These were things only he knew. When Puyang City was broken back then, it was he who saved Jing Ke and then brought Jing Ke into the Mohist School, treating him as his personal disciple and teaching him martial arts. There were many secrets 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 Wuyang listened to the Black Hero with Six Fingers telling Jing Ke some things and said coldly: "Leader Six Fingers 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 Leader Six Fingers came to them—did he already know their identities as Mohist leaders?

Was their operation this time exposed?

Qin Wuyang couldn't help but have some guesses.

Then he heard Jing Ke say: "Wuyang!!"

Qin Wuyang turned his head to look at Jing Ke.

Jing Ke had a complex expression and said in a heavy tone: "... He might really be Leader Six Fingers!" ===== CHAPTER 369 =====
