Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

It was something the other party did intentionally.

He lost his way because of this incident.

He didn't understand why Xu Qing liked to oppose him so much. He only knew that if he had the chance, he would make Xu Qing pay a heavy price.

But before he could even look for Xu Qing, Xu Qing appeared before him that very night.

"What do you want by coming here so late at night?"

Zhao Gao's voice was shrill, and his eyes were filled with deep resentment.

"What do you think I should do?" Xu Qing didn't answer Zhao Gao's question directly, but instead asked him in return.

"Hiding your head and cowering, not daring to visit me openly, what you've done is definitely not a good thing." Zhao Gao's voice was icy, his words filled with chilling hatred, "Simply because you are such a despicable person!"

Throughout his life, Zhao Gao met many people.

He had seen it all: Lü Buwei, Lao Ai, and many others who were once famous but had no choice but to join the Luo Net.

Of all these people, Xu Qing was the most despicable and shameless person he had ever met, without exception.

It can be said that all of Zhao Gao's current misfortunes are related to this person.

Perhaps from an outsider's perspective, after knowing Zhao Gao's character, one would think that Xu Qing did nothing wrong.

But from Zhao Gao's perspective, he only resented Xu Qing and never felt that he had done anything wrong.

“I do not admit to being a despicable person,” Xu Qing retorted Zhao Gao’s words, then added, “However, I certainly do not intend to do anything good here tonight.”

Upon hearing Xu Qing's frank answer, Zhao Gao's gaze instantly hardened.

What do you intend to do?

Xu Qing said calmly, "I want you dead!"

The hall instantly fell into a state of tranquility.

Zhao Gao thought he had misheard, and he looked at Xu Qing with an incredulous gaze.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

Before Xu Qing could reply, Zhao Gao continued, "I am the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office appointed by the King. How dare you speak to me in front of me about wanting to harm me? Do you know that plotting to harm a Qin official is a capital offense!"

"You are betraying the Qin state."

"The title of 'Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office' sounds impressive, but in the end, he's just a coachman." Xu Qing scoffed at Zhao Gao's words. "You're not as important as you think."

"Also, don't worry, no one will know the truth about your death. I'll hurry up and make sure you die as painlessly as possible!"

After saying this, Zhao Gao felt a chill run through his body; in an instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Dangerous!

The aura of death instantly descended upon Zhao Gao.

"Someone come here!"

His voice was shrill, and he instinctively wanted to call for his subordinates to come to his rescue.

Although Ying Zheng officially stripped Luo Wang of its control, this was only in name. Luo Wang itself was a dark organization hidden in the shadows, and only those who had been inside it knew how sordid it was.

Zhao Gao had no idea how many tricks he had hidden within the snare.

The guards in his mansion were all experts from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

Even though he had dismissed all the maids earlier, the guards were all outside the hall. If he called out softly, they would come to him immediately.

However, the imagined arrival of guards to rescue the emperor did not occur.

"Stop shouting, those people can't hear you for now." Xu Qing glanced at the puzzled Zhao Gao and explained, "Although they'll soon find out what's going on, I said I'll be quick."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao noticed that a thin layer of mist had appeared near the windows and doorway.

The fog looked particularly eerie.

Zhao Gao was not without discernment; he instantly realized what it was.

"Barrier!"

He gritted his teeth and revealed the methods Xu Qing had used.

Xu Qing smiled faintly, offering no explanation. In the next instant, he flashed and appeared before Zhao Gao. His hand reached out, and in Zhao Gao's eyes, it was as if a vast dark cloud had descended, and all the sunlight in his eyes vanished in an instant.

"You're not qualified to kill me!"

Zhao Gao reacted instantly, and his voice became even sharper.

He knew that at this moment, the guards outside were unreliable, and he could only rely on himself.

Fortunately, he understood this principle many years ago and was not a weak person.

Faced with Xu Qing's treacherous attack, he flipped his palm and struck out with his own. Green mist swirled in his palm, and his five fingernails seemed to grow rapidly in an instant, becoming incredibly sharp.

boom!!

The palms are clasped together.

The evenly matched situation that Zhao Gao had anticipated did not occur. Instead, he felt an overwhelming force surge in, first shattering the energy in his palm, and then extending continuously along his hand.

Click, click...

The sound of bones shattering rang out, and Zhao Gao's body was sent flying instantly.

Bang!

He crashed to the ground, looking like a lump of mud.

"what?"

Another questioning voice rang out, and Xu Qing seemed somewhat surprised, "You actually withstood one of my attacks?"

"I underestimated you!"

These words, when they reached Zhao Gao's ears, did not make him feel smug. On the contrary, at this moment, the humiliation in his heart had reached its peak, and besides that, he felt pain.

He felt pain all over his body.

In particular, the hand that had clashed with Xu Qing earlier had completely lost sensation; he couldn't even feel the existence of that arm.

Without a doubt, that hand was ruined.

Footsteps sounded, and under Zhao Gao's resentful gaze, Xu Qing slowly walked up to him.

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

Zhao Gao roared inwardly. He had held out for so long, yet the guards outside still hadn't noticed what was happening here, which made him extremely angry.

But soon, he shifted his attention back to Xu Qing.

Judging from the intensity of Xu Qing's attack, it's clear that Xu Qing genuinely wanted to kill him.

He didn't want to die here.

With a flick of his other hand, a bronze dagger appeared in his hand.

This sword has a simple and ancient design, with a winding pattern on it.

Swish!

He thrust out suddenly, making a final desperate attempt.

As a result, it naturally did not serve any purpose.

Xu Qing simply raised his hand and grasped Zhao Gao's wrist. With a forceful pull, Zhao Gao immediately lost control of his body, his arm bending backward as the short sword pierced his throat.

His life ended in an instant.

Chapter 367 was all done by extreme revengeists in the State of Chu!

No matter how ambitious you were before, when your life ends, it all comes to nothing.

Zhao Gao was in such a situation at that moment.

For Xu Qing, killing Zhao Gao brought him no sense of accomplishment.

If he had just transmigrated to this world, back when he was still a hot-blooded youth, he might have been triumphant if he had simply killed Zhao Gao.

But he doesn't now, because over the years, his footsteps have traveled to seven countries, he has seen too many things and witnessed too many people.

If one hadn't personally experienced so much in this world, and were only relying on memories from a previous life, Zhao Gao's reputation would indeed be quite resounding; he was certainly a figure of considerable stature.

But after experiencing so much in this world.

Zhao Gao was nothing more than an insignificant little insect.

While they may have ambitions, ambitions can only be realized with sufficient strength.

Historically, Zhao Gao only found an opportunity to realize his ambitions after Ying Zheng's death, and through Hu Hai, he once rose to the highest position in the court.

But that was Zhao Gao many years later, and it was still the result of things developing along a normal trajectory.

In this world where many things have changed and people are no longer the same, it's hard to say whether Zhao Gao could have gone that far.

Not to mention, the opponent was directly eliminated by Xu Qing in the middle of the battle.

"That's a fine sword!"

After killing Zhao Gao, Xu Qing picked up the short sword that the man had used earlier and examined it carefully.

Zhao Gao was a man who loved famous swords, and the swords that he carried with him were definitely not ordinary swords.

There are actually not many famous short swords in history.

Madam Xu's dagger does not exist in this world. Instead, there is the "Broken Rainbow Sword". And if we trace back further, Xu Qing immediately thought of a famous sword.

The sword in his hand was short and sharp, with winding, uneven patterns on it, like the intestines of a cooked fish that had been cut open.

Fish Intestine Sword!

This is a renowned assassination sword.

The Luo Wang organization is full of assassins and killers, so it's quite reasonable for Zhao Gao, who was once the leader of the Luo Wang organization, to carry such a sword with him.

Of course, whether this is the Fish Intestine Sword still needs to be verified later.
