Chapter 963: Those who seek their own death cannot be saved by Heaven!

"How could this be?!"

Hearing Xiang Liang's bewildered voice echoed; this was the second time in a short period he had asked such a question.

The first time was when Ji Bu died, and the second time was when he saw Ji Bu die and prepared to make a desperate struggle, intending to forcefully kill Seeing Ying Zheng.

His original intention was good.

Even if there were experts beside Seeing Ying Zheng, as long as that person could not protect Seeing Ying Zheng 360 degrees, they would eventually find an opportunity.

But what happened next was something they could not understand.

A single word, "Forbidden," and everyone lost the ability to act.

While they had lost the ability to act, twenty-four short swords appeared. When they recovered, they found that all their companions were dead.

"You certainly know how to choose a place, actually attempting an assassination in such a location!"

A calm voice sounded, reaching the ears of the five survivors: Hearing Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, Fan Zeng, Ying Bu, and Long Qie.

The few remaining people could only temporarily put aside the horror brought by the death of all their companions and look in the direction from which the voice came.

They saw a young man dressed in black standing quietly on top of one of the six-horse carriages.

This carriage was not unfamiliar to everyone; it was the one Ji Bu had charged into first, and it was upon charging into this carriage that Ji Bu had been sent out heavily injured after a single encounter.

"Who exactly is this person?"

The remnants of the Chu State looked at this young man, all filled with curiosity, guessing the other party's identity. Without a doubt, this person was not Seeing Ying Zheng.

Soon, from the way the Qin army addressed this person, they knew who he was.

"Grand Master!!"

Someone whispered, addressing the other party.

The Qin Guo had only one Grand Master.

That was Su Xuan.

"Is he Su Xuan?"

The members of the Xiang clan were not unfamiliar with this person. Although he did not personally participate in the battle to destroy Chu, the Battle of Daliang was enough to make Su Xuan famous throughout the world, causing the name of this Yin-Yang School Sect Master to spread far and wide, not to mention that he later destroyed the Agricultural School with his own strength.

Earlier, it was also this person who took the Mirage out to sea and brought back the "elixir of immortality" for Seeing Ying Zheng.

If not for this person bringing back the "elixir of immortality" for Seeing Ying Zheng, they would not have been so passive and would not have thought of solving Seeing Ying Zheng through assassination.

Su Xuan did not care about the gazes of the Chu remnants looking at him, nor did he care about the Qin army's address for him. On the contrary, his mood was somewhat complicated at this moment.

When he arrived at the palace near Bolangsha earlier and learned that the nearby area was the famous Bolangsha, he had thought about the assassination of Qin at Bolangsha, which was Zhang Liang's famous battle in original history, and even associated it with several other assassination attempts on Qin.

However, in the end, he concluded that the assassination of Qin at Bolangsha would not exist.

Because Zhang Liang was currently serving the Qin Guo, and Da Tiechui had long since died.

However, facts proved that his perspective was small, and his thinking was indeed somewhat lacking.

Although there was no assassination of Qin by Zhang Liang at Bolangsha, Bolangsha was an unlucky place.

He did not know if this place was cursed, or if it was indeed an excellent place for assassination.

Even without Zhang Liang, the assassination site chosen by the Chu remnants was still Bolangsha.

As for the people being assassinated, Su Xuan recognized them in the first instance.

Except for Ji Bu, who had charged into the carriage earlier and was eventually heavily injured by him and then killed by Seeing Ying Zheng, the two over there, the one holding double axes was Ying Bu, and the one wearing gorgeous armor and a mask was Long Qie.

Good heavens, in the original work, three of the "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" mentioned by Master Chu Nan were gathered here.

Besides these three, there were a few people hiding in the reeds.

Their appearance corresponded to Hearing Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, and others in the original work in Su Xuan's memory, and there was also a youth who seemed to be Xiang Shaoyu.

The rebels of the Chu State were basically all gathered here.

It was also because he recognized these people that when Su Xuan took action to kill many Chu rebels, he left the lives of these few people alone.

Regrettably, his mercy and his kindness did not bring him any good rewards.

"Go to hell!"

Ying Bu's roar sounded. When Su Xuan appeared and many Qin soldiers called him Grand Master, he knew that the previous bizarre events were Su Xuan's handiwork, and his many comrades were all killed by Su Xuan.

Because the distance between him and Su Xuan was quite far, he could only throw one of the axes in his hand.

The small axe flew through the air, carrying a mighty wind, attacking Su Xuan.

When it reached Su Xuan, it was blocked by an invisible force.

This small axe seemed to have experienced countless years in an instant, then decayed and turned into dust.

This was another horrifying scene.

And what made Ying Bu terrified was Su Xuan's sentence: "Those who seek their own death cannot be saved by Heaven!"

Su Xuan lifted his hand gently and pointed a finger at Ying Bu.

Without any warning, Ying Bu's body fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

"General Ying Bu!!"

Hearing Xiang Liang and the others finally regained their senses, and he cried out in grief.

Long Qie's pupils also contracted sharply, thinking of the rumors in the jianghu about Su Xuan, this Grand Master.

'Back then, this person once broke open the gate of Daliang City with one sword and destroyed the Agricultural School with his own strength. I thought it was just an exaggerated rumor, but now it seems it might be true... This person's strength...'

Long Qie did not know how to describe Su Xuan's strength.

But his shock was only for an instant. Soon, he had to think about his current situation.

For this assassination, they had prepared three contingency plans. First, when Seeing Ying Zheng's carriage passed through Bolangsha, they used crossbow arrows to attack. After discovering that the crossbow arrows could not break the windows of the six-horse carriages, they chose to create an opportunity for Ji Bu. Ji Bu's light movement techniques were unparalleled in the world, and his martial arts were extremely high. As long as he could sneak into the carriage, he could kill Seeing Ying Zheng.

However, the fact was that when Ji Bu charged into the carriage, it was the moment of his death.

Having no other choice, they could only use the final plan.

Choose to forcefully kill Seeing Ying Zheng.

Regrettably, the final plan was also the plan that was destroyed the fastest.

Su Xuan appeared, and everyone died in an instant.

At this moment, all their comrades had turned into corpses, and only these few people were still alive.

They were like fish on a chopping block, only to be manipulated at will by Su Xuan and the others.

Life and death all depended on a single thought from Su Xuan and the others!

No, for them, when they chose to assassinate Seeing Ying Zheng, they no longer had the choice of life.

They were doomed to die, and even if they were still alive, what awaited them would surely be a fate worse than death. ===== CHAPTER 965 =====
