Chapter 129 Holy Son Butian

Cheng Jiao's original intention was to advocate for the Butian Pavilion and thus try to get closer to it, which is why he belittled Jing Ni. However, little did he know that Jing Ni was a member of the Butian Pavilion. Therefore, his attempt to curry favor not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also made Yang Che hold another grudge against him.

We'll settle things slowly later.

The operation to eliminate Cheng Pan was led by Jing Ni. Although Jing Ni was an undercover agent of the Butian Pavilion and could not possibly complete the mission, Yang Che could not allow the Luo Wang to fail too badly, considering that Jing Ni was still very useful in the Luo Wang.

So this time, Jing Ni certainly needs to cooperate with him, and he also needs to cooperate with Jing Ni.

With this in mind, Yang Che had already held back quite a bit when fighting the assassins of Luo Wang. After forcefully killing several of them, he had left the remaining assassins alone, such as Li Wu, who had been slacking off the whole time.

However, Yang Che gradually realized that even if he held back, the remaining assassins of Luo Wang could not hold on. During this period, by referring to Mu Qingliu's cultivation notes and by cultivating the Heavenly Demon Great Art together, Yang Che's strength had improved significantly compared to when he was in Wei Family Village.

Even without the Heavenly One Heart Method and the Undying Seal Method, he could cultivate to the peak of the Innate Realm within three years.

At this point, dealing with several assassins of the Luo Wang (Net of Justice) level was a piece of cake for him.

"Jing Ni, if you don't come soon, I'll have killed all your men." Yang Che thought helplessly. It turns out that sometimes, being too strong can be a troublesome thing.

As if hearing Yang Che's thoughts, Jing Ni really appeared.

The sudden surprise, like a bird skimming across the water, came as a sword strike aimed at Yang Che, as if he were facing an enemy rather than a lover.

This sword strike was both fast and fierce, which truly startled Yang Che. In an instant, the Hidden Sun Sword and the Startled Salamander Sword clashed and killed each other, with sword energy shooting out in the collision.

With the appearance of Jing Ni, the assassins of Luo Wang were greatly encouraged. With the arrival of Lady Jing Ni, Luo Wang's savior had arrived.

Jing Ni forced Yang Che back with her sword, and then used the force of Yang Che's recoil to attack Cheng Pan directly. Cheng Pan had already hidden at the stern of the ship, but unexpectedly, the moment Jing Ni appeared, she attacked him directly.

Faced with the murderous intent of Jing Ni, Cheng Xin was terrified and could only barely raise his sword to block. But as Jing Ni's sword slashed down, the blade of Cheng Pan's sword slid along with Cheng Pan's and landed directly on Cheng Pan's shoulder.

"Oh no, I'm doomed!" Cheng Jiao exclaimed in horror; he could already smell the scent of death.

What's wrong with Jing Ni? Why is she so murderous? Yang Che didn't expect Jing Ni to head straight for Cheng Jiao, and she even seemed determined to kill Cheng Pan. If he didn't firmly believe that Jing Ni was one of his own, he would have thought that Jing Ni had also betrayed him.

However, since he was acting, he had to go all the way. Faced with Jing Ni's sudden attack, Yang Che had no choice but to break through a Luo Wang assassin to carry out an emergency rescue.

However, it was too late. As Yang Che arrived, amidst Cheng Jiao's screams, one of his arms had already been severed by Jing Ni's sword.

However, that much time was enough for Yang Che to carry out the rescue. Yang Che forced Jing Ni back, looked at Cheng Pan who was clutching his wound and screaming in agony, and then looked at Jing Ni again, as if he understood something.

Cheng Pan, you said you should just be a supporting character, why did you have to add scenes for yourself? Adding scenes is one thing, but why did you have to provoke Jing Ni?

Well, look what happened. He paid the price for his foul mouth with one arm.

"Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion, our reinforcements from Luo Wang will be arriving soon. Although your martial arts are strong, do you still want to fight our entire Luo Wang alone?" Jing Ni said, having already flashed to the surface of the water as Yang Che attacked. Her clear and cold voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it sounded extremely murderous.

Yang Che glanced at Cheng Pan, then at the little girl who had remained expressionless throughout, his face shifting between light and dark. He then grabbed Cheng Pan and the little girl, leaped into the river, and used his lightness skill to disappear into the distance as a blur.

In the blink of an eye, the fishing boats that had been engaged in fierce fighting returned to their original state from the battlefield. If it weren't for the severed limbs and corpses still on the fishing boats, it would be as if the battle had never happened.

"Lord Jingni." Li Wu quickly stepped forward, bowed to Jingni, and looked at her with admiration.

Jing Ni was the person she admired most. As a woman, she herself was ridiculed among the "Kill" level assassins, but Jing Ni was ranked among the top-tier assassins. Because of Yan Ri's death in battle, she even took control of a part of the power of the Luo Wang organization.

Powerful and beautiful, what female assassin wouldn't want to be like that?

Jing Ni looked at Li Wu in front of her and nodded emotionlessly in response. Yang Che had told her that in a place like Luo Wang, one cannot just be an assassin. One must learn to win people over. The sword is just a tool of power. She cannot just be a tool. She must also seize power in Luo Wang, just like Yan Ri.

Therefore, Jingni was willing to respond to Li Wu's admiration. Of course, perhaps it was also because she knew that Li Wu was a spy planted in Luo Wang by Butian Pavilion, since she was also a spy for Butian Pavilion, and the biggest spy at that.

"Cheng Jiao is crippled. A disabled young master no longer poses a threat. We can barely report back," Jing Ni said.

"Lady Jingni, our orders are to kill Changpan, not just take his arm," a Luo Wang assassin reminded her.

"Yan Ri died at the hands of the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion. Do you think we can keep him and Cheng Jiao here?" Jing Ni retorted.

"This—" The assassin remained silent, filled only with deep fear. Just now, he had come closest to death since becoming an assassin.

"If you want Cheng Pan's head, go after him now. What nonsense are you spouting here? Are you trying to shift the blame onto Lady Jing Ni? If you hadn't acted rashly and alerted the enemy, you wouldn't have failed at the last minute. If Lady Jing Ni hadn't appeared in time, would you still be standing here talking?" Li Wu retorted.

With Lady Jingni here, what does she need to be afraid of?

Moreover, these people dared to slander Lady Jingni, which is simply unforgivable.

Leaving aside the psychological changes that Li Wu underwent after the Battle of Weijiazhuang, in another scene, Yang Che took Cheng Jiao a distance away and then left him under a tree, intending to heal him first, otherwise the bleeding alone could take Cheng Jiao's life.

Fortunately, the Flower Sect was also skilled in healing, so Chengru's injuries were quickly stopped.

As for Cheng, although he lost an arm, he saved his life and naturally felt like he had survived a disaster. He expressed his gratitude to his savior.

Looking at Cheng Jiao, who had knelt down and lowered his once proud head, Yang Che asked, "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Cheng Pan was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had lost everything and was living in constant fear. If he could join the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, he would have a place to settle down and make a living. Moreover, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was so powerful that if he could enter it, he would have a chance to turn things around in the future.

Without even thinking, Cheng Jiao began to kowtow. He would never miss this master in front of him.

"Alright, from today onwards, you are the Holy Son of my Heaven-Mending Pavilion. This Sun-Covering Sword will be yours from now on." Yang Che handed the Sun-Covering Sword to Cheng.

"Thank you, Master." Although Cheng Jiao could not hold the sword with both hands, he was still very respectful.

The former Lord Chang'an is dead; from now on, there will only be the Holy Son of Butian Pavilion, the Phantom Swordsman.
