In the reeds.
Jiang Chuan is facing an ambush.
After discovering that the top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization had been easily killed by Jiang Chuan.
The man in the straw raincoat was utterly astonished.
But he was, after all, one of the Four Fiends of the Night, in charge of espionage, and besides, he came from the Net.
With the added advantage of having two identities.
Today, since we are prepared to eliminate Jiang Chuan, this imposter Bai Yifei, here, how could the Straw-Cloaked Man not have made preparations for the substitution of Li Xingtao?
He had already secretly planted numerous assassins.
The original plan was to have these assassins assist the top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization in surrounding and killing Jiang Chuan while he was fighting with him.
After all, Jiang Chuan's ability to impersonate Bai Yifei suggests that his strength should not be underestimated.
Earlier, when he sent people to kidnap Princess Honglian, some of them had already clashed with Jiang Chuan.
The assassin from Luo Wang was killed by Jiang Chuan, which is enough to prove Jiang Chuan's strength.
But it's not surprising.
Without sufficient strength, it would have been impossible to join forces with that traitor of the Luo Wang organization to successively kill Ji Wuye and his son, and secretly kill Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.
However, there are always unexpected things.
The man in the straw raincoat ultimately underestimated Jiang Chuan's true strength.
Luo Wang's top-ranking member was killed by Jiang Chuan in just a few moves.
347 The man in the straw raincoat angrily cursed this first-class scholar for being too weak.
In order to survive, he had no choice but to use his backup plan, summoning the many assassins hidden around him to surround and kill Jiang Chuan.
Some of these assassins came from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven). When the Luo Wang was purged by Ying Zheng, the Straw-Clothed Man took the opportunity to gather many people who were not tolerated by the Luo Wang and then brought them into the Nightfall. These people were called the Nightfall, but in reality, they were all manipulated by the Straw-Clothed Man.
Another group consisted of the confidants that the Straw Raincoat Man had cultivated over many years in the shadows.
After all, his original purpose in joining Nightfall was for Luo Wang to infiltrate Nightfall and usurp its power.
This group, though not large, is not insignificant either, and includes many highly skilled individuals.
As Jiang Chuan leaped from the driftwood in the lake into the reeds, these people launched a simultaneous attack on him.
Jiang Chuan threw the corpse of the first-class Heavenly rank cultivator at his feet, put down the sword that he had attached to the red sword in his hand with his internal energy, and slowly drew out another white sword hanging at his waist.
Admittedly, he didn't really like using two swords against his enemies.
However, in order to kill these people, it is more efficient to use both swords at the same time.
With two swords drawn, sword energy swept across the area, severing the reeds and cutting them in half. Simultaneously, the bodies of numerous assassins were also severed, their lives ending one by one, their blood staining the reed forest crimson.
Chapter 246 The Curtain Falls, Revenge!
Everything I see is worthy of being killed!
Jiang Chuan wielded two swords, killing indiscriminately.
He was actually someone who didn't like to fight with others. For a long time after he transmigrated to this world, he honestly farmed and lived a life of peace and tranquility.
Even after he learned martial arts from Ru Shuang, he rarely fought or clashed with anyone.
Looking back now, the number of times Jiang Chuan directly fought with someone can be counted on one hand.
However, this does not diminish Jiang Chuan's formidable strength.
Faced with the encirclement of numerous assassins, he wielded his twin swords with unparalleled skill, never expending a single ounce of strength. With each strike, a life was extinguished. Even when they unleashed fierce killing moves and powerful formations, they were ultimately shattered one by one by Jiang Chuan's overwhelming power.
Blood stained the reeds red.
Jiang Chuan approached the man in the straw raincoat.
The two swords in his hands, whether the white sword called "Snow" or the red sword called "Blood," were as always, without a trace of blood on them, seemingly spotless. But in reality, these two swords were nothing short of demonic swords.
Jiang Chuan has had these two swords for quite some time now. He figured out their abilities very early on: they can absorb the blood essence of those who die by their swords and store it within them. When necessary, they can nourish the swordsman and help heal their wounds. Of course, because the amount of blood essence stored is limited, it can generally only be used to deal with some simple injuries.
Even a simple injury can be useful in a battle between experts.
After all, the outcome of a battle between masters can be decided in a single thought.
Of course, for Jiang Chuan, these two swords have not served any purpose so far.
When facing Donghuang Taiyi, because of Donghuang Taiyi's power, these two swords were not even worth mentioning.
Faced with the current situation, he cleared the level without taking any damage.
His gaze fell upon the man in the straw raincoat, and an immense pressure immediately enveloped him.
"The net is nothing more than this."
Jiang Chuan spoke, bluntly belittling the Luo Wang.
The man in the straw raincoat seemed unwilling to look Jiang Chuan in the eye. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "This time, I lost. I underestimated your strength. But even if you win, don't be so smug."
"If I'm not mistaken, your wife and daughter, that Heavenly First-Class Jingni who betrayed the Luo Wang, will receive the punishment they deserve."
Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered, but his expression didn't change much.
Even when facing the man in the straw raincoat, he showed no intention of engaging in lengthy conversation.
Initially, he thought the Straw-Clothed Man was a useful talent. Even though the man came from the Luo Wang organization, Jiang Chuan didn't mind keeping him because talent was rare. In fact, even though he knew the man had ulterior motives when he later proposed recruiting the assassins who had been eliminated by the Luo Wang organization, he didn't point it out.
But as it turns out, anyone who comes out of the net is an ingrate.
Well, Ru Shuang doesn't count.
Ru Shuang betrayed Luo Wang herself.
The men in straw raincoats and the others were forced to leave Luo Wang by circumstances. If given the chance, they would never betray Luo Wang.
The sword flashed.
The man in the straw raincoat has not raised his head since, and blood is flowing from his throat, indicating that he is already dead.
A gentle breeze blew, and the reeds swayed continuously.
Here, there were corpses everywhere.
……
Jiang Chuan returned from the General's Mansion.
I met Ru Shuang right away.
Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, Ru Shuang softly uttered two words, "The Net..."
Jiang Chuan's gaze sharpened, and he asked Ru Shuang again, "Are you alright?"
Ru Shuang shook her head: "The people who attacked by the Luo Wang have already been killed by me."
"I smell blood on my husband, what about you?"
Jiang Chuan then recounted what he had experienced.
Upon learning that the man in the straw raincoat had actually uncovered the truth, seen through Jiang Chuan's disguise, and concluded that Bai Yifei was dead and that the current Bai Yifei was Jiang Chuan in disguise, Ru Shuang couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, there are still clever people in this world."
"Unfortunately, it came from the net."
When Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei died, only a few people were present, and no outsiders knew about his death. Jiang Chuan even learned a lot about Bai Yifei's habits from Madam Mingzhu, and through an extremely exquisite disguise technique, he disguised himself as Bai Yifei.
Even the old servants of Snowcloth Fortress and many of the white-armored soldiers failed to notice anything amiss.
But the man in the straw raincoat, relying on that one clue, on the fact that Jiang Chuan's behavior and style were completely different from Bai Yifei's, and on their different levels of skill, arrived at that unbelievable answer.
The man in the straw raincoat was indeed an extraordinary figure.
"What are you planning to do next, my husband?"
Ru Shuang then asked Jiang Chuan.
Logically speaking, this incident should have been brought to a close.
The man in the straw raincoat planned to use a fake Bai Yifei to imitate Jiang Chuan's substitution scheme. With his death, two top-ranking members of the Luo Wang organization also died, and his plan was completely foiled.
The Luo Wang organization had already been purged because of King Ying Zheng of Qin.
For some unknown reason, he harbored strange thoughts again and planned to plot against the night, but it ended in failure. Not only did the man in the straw raincoat die, but two of the top-ranking members of the Luo Wang organization were also lost.
Ru Shuang was unaware that Luo Wang still had several top-tier Heavenly Rank 1 members remaining.
But there probably aren't many left.
She, once a top-ranking official, betrayed the Net.
During the assassination attempt on the King of Qin in Xinzheng, Xuan Jian disappeared without a trace, and Duan Shui also died.
This essentially means that three members of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) were removed.
Two more have died now.
During the process of King Qin cleaning up the net, there was also a possibility that (good plums) might lose their first-class status.
As for the Luo Wang, its strength may still be very powerful. After all, at its peak, their influence spread throughout the seven kingdoms of the world. However, its top combat force has been almost completely wiped out, and it has suffered a great loss of vitality.
