Chapter 35 The Five Poisonous Eunuchs
Chen Ye felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

Since ascending to the Thousand-Faced Thief Saint, his five senses and six perceptions have far surpassed those of ordinary people, especially in the darkness of night, where he is like a fish in water. Yet, before this sound rang out, he had not noticed anything unusual nearby.

This shows that the person who came was definitely not to be underestimated.

The thought flashed through Chen Ye's mind, but he didn't show any unusual expression on his face. Instead, he turned around cautiously.

In the shadow of the artificial hill not far away stood an old eunuch dressed in a dark purple robe. His skin was pale, his face was sparsely bearded, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and his expression was sinister as he stared coldly at him.

"Which palace are you from? Sneaking around here in the dead of night, do you want to die?"

Chen Ye's mind raced, and in a flash, an idea came to him.

He knelt down with a thud, his head pressed tightly to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, full of obsequiousness and fear, "This servant...this servant greets Your Majesty! This servant is new to the palace and got lost. I don't know how I ended up here. Please, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Chen Ye's kneeling and bowing were extremely humble, perfectly portraying a terrified eunuch who had accidentally wandered into forbidden territory.

Upon hearing the title "Grand Ancestor," the old eunuch couldn't help but let out a few sharp laughs that sent chills down one's spine.

"That's someone with good judgment!"

"Alright, this isn't a place for trash like you. Get out of here right now! If you do it again, you'll regret it!"

"Yes! Yes! This servant will leave right away, right away!"

Chen Ye was about to get up from the ground when he suddenly grabbed a handful of dust and flung it out.

Dust flew straight at the old eunuch's face.

The old eunuch never expected that this seemingly docile young eunuch would dare to suddenly attack him.

But his reaction was extremely fast. The moment the dust hit his face, he suddenly closed his eyes, dodged to the side, and at the same time, he crossed his hands, bringing a foul gust of wind, and slapped it towards Chen Ye!
"You little brat, who exactly are you?!"

Chen Ye, of course, did not answer. Having landed a successful blow, he did not linger. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and slid back several feet like a ghost, avoiding the fatal attack.

The old eunuch's attack missed its mark, but he snapped a large tree in half.

What a powerful palm strike!

Chen Ye was secretly alarmed.

This was, in fact, the first time he had encountered a true martial arts master since he came to this world.

Chen Ye had previously paid attention to the masters in the martial arts world, only to find that they were all external martial arts that focused on building strength and physical power. Although they were lethal, they were far less terrifying than the old eunuch in front of him.

Especially the other party's bluish-gray palms, which had a pungent, fishy stench, clearly indicated that they had practiced some kind of vicious poison technique.

No wonder I always felt a vague sense of danger deep within the imperial city; it turns out there was such an old poisoner lurking there.

Chen Ye understood, and at the same time knew that he could not afford to fight for too long.

Otherwise, if the fighting attracts a large number of Imperial Guards, tonight's operation will be a complete failure.

It must be resolved quickly.

Thinking this through, Chen Ye no longer hesitated, turned around and ran.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy!" The old eunuch sneered, then gave chase.

In fact, the old eunuch was also shocked at this moment.

You must know that his Five Poisons Divine Palm is a combination of five kinds of rare poisons from all over the world. It took him decades of hard work to master it. Wherever his palm strikes, it kills instantly upon contact.

Since mastering the technique, he has never encountered an opponent.

If it weren't for the many misdeeds he committed in the martial arts world, which made him universally hated and left him nowhere to go, he wouldn't have castrated himself and run into the palace to become a eunuch.

Even so, his strength is still absolutely top-notch.

But this little eunuch who appeared out of nowhere today was moving with such strange speed and agility. Not only had he not died on the spot from his Five Poison Palm technique, but he had actually managed to hold on until now. This made the old eunuch's bloodlust rise, so he chased faster and faster.

Just then, Chen Ye, who was running ahead, didn't turn his head and suddenly flicked his wrist backward!
call out!
A chilling glint of light flashed in the night, heading straight for the old eunuch's throat.

The old eunuch was startled by the sudden stab. He stopped abruptly and leaned back at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the deadly blow in the nick of time.

Before he could even catch his breath, his pupils suddenly contracted.

call out!call out!call out!
Several more blades of light came in quick succession, their angles extremely tricky, almost completely blocking all his dodge routes!
"what!"

The old eunuch let out a scream, swung both palms simultaneously, and forcefully knocked away two flying knives with his incredibly sharp palm technique.

But he was powerless to save the remaining one!

puff!
A dull thud as a sharp blade pierced flesh, followed by a splatter of blood.

The throwing knife was deeply embedded in the old eunuch's left chest!

It turned out that at that crucial moment, the old eunuch, with his formidable strength, managed to shift his body by half an inch, thus avoiding the vital organ of the heart.

A sharp pain shot through him, and the old eunuch groaned. Just as he was about to catch his breath, he was horrified to discover that the young eunuch in front of him had vanished without a trace.

not good!

Alarm bells rang in the old eunuch's mind. Just as he was about to react, a chilling killing intent silently attacked from behind.

He turned around abruptly, only to see a ghostly blade emerging from the darkness.

The small knife rapidly magnified in his wide-open eyes, and then... it was gently slashed.

scoff!

A thin line of blood appeared on the old eunuch's neck.

He stared in disbelief, clutching his neck with both hands, trying to stop the gushing blood, but it was all in vain.

He never imagined that after decades of roaming the martial world, he would end up dying at the hands of an unknown eunuch.

The body fell to the ground with a thud.

Without hesitation, Chen Ye plunged another knife into the old eunuch's heart, severing his life completely. Then, he dragged the corpse and hid behind the nearby artificial hill.

He could already hear the chaotic footsteps coming from afar, clearly indicating that the palace guards had been alerted by the commotion and were rushing over.

A moment later, a squad of Imperial Guards carrying torches and halberds arrived at the scene.

"Who goes there!" the leading officer shouted sternly.

His response came from a figure that slowly emerged from the shadow of the artificial hill.

It was an old eunuch dressed in a dark purple robe, with a pale complexion and a sinister face, which was quite eerie.

The Imperial Guards who arrived were all terrified when they saw him. They quickly sheathed their weapons and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor!"

The old eunuch waved his hand impatiently, "Some scoundrels tried to sneak in, but we scared them away."

"You need not be alarmed, go about your business."

"Yes!"

The Imperial Guards, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, saluted once more and hurriedly left to continue their patrol.

At the same time, the old eunuch flicked his sleeve and turned to walk towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
