NOVPUB"Chen, Chen Jiusi!"
When Chen Jie revealed his face, the three Qin brothers on the scene were all shocked.
Fear accompanied their shock.
Indeed, Chen Jie had hurried here in the dead of night, for what purpose?
It definitely wasn’t for anything good, and he had injured someone upon making his move.
Qin Bao went to help Qin Ying up; Chen Jie didn’t stop him, but Qin Hu looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, why aren’t you at the Fishing Guild Headquarters stealing gold and jewels, instead of coming to our Eagle Hall?"
Chen Jie grinned and said, "Of course, I’m here for something more important."
Qin Hu frowned and asked, "What could be more important!"
"To kill you!"
Chen Jie let out a chilling smile, and seeing this grim expression, the three men’s faces changed dramatically, with Qin Hu immediately adopting a defensive stance.
Qin Bao clenched his fists as well, while Qin Ying, holding his chest and coughing, had been severely injured by Chen Jie’s earlier palm strike – his ability to exert his full strength now was highly doubtful.
Yet he seemed much calmer than Qin Bao and Qin Hu.
He looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, have you thought this through if you want to kill us?"
Chen Jie squinted his eyes and responded, "Of course, I’ve thought it through."
"I don’t think you have. Chen Jiusi, you defeated Nan Batian, and the role of Fishing Guild Leader is rightfully yours, but let’s not hide the truth here: we were chosen by Lord Yelu to balance you out. If you kill us, you will anger Lord Yelu, and you know very well the consequences of angering him, don’t you?"
"Or do you think just because you defeated Nan Batian, you can claim kingship and dominion over Mianshui?"
"Let me tell you, we are nothing but puppets on strings to Yelu. He can’t directly control the guild, so he needs us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even be fit to be dogs."
"Now Yelu has arranged everything. You’ll be the Gang Leader, and I’ll be your counterbalance. How dare you disobey?"
"Chen Jiusi, are you seeking death?"
Qin Ying knew that with their strength, the three brothers stood no chance against Chen Jie; their only possible lifeline was to use Yelu, to use his deterrent force to instill fear in Chen Jie.
If Chen Jie learned to fear, then everything would become simple.
He even planned to file a complaint with Yelu the next day.
Chen Jie, after hearing this, remained calm, with no trace of panic or hesitation in his eyes, merely looking at Qin Ying and saying, "Qin Ying, you’re quite clever!"
Qin Ying narrowed his eyes at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie continued to advance, a hint of mockery appearing on his face as he spoke, "Sadly, not clever enough!"
Qin Ying panicked upon hearing this. Chen Jie didn’t seem scared at all!
Chen Jie said, "You’re right, you exist to balance me out, and that’s exactly why I need to eliminate you!"
Qin Ying stepped back repeatedly.
"Because I don’t want anyone to interfere with me, my Fishing Guild; only I can call the shots here!"
Hearing this, Qin Ying changed color and said, "Chen, Chen Jiusi, you’re insane. How can you consider breaking free from Yelu’s control? You have mere Energy Transformation cultivation and just over a thousand men in your guild. How can you?"
"I have this!"
Chen Jie pointed to his chest, where ambitious desires fiercely stirred.
Chen Jiusi was not born to be someone’s dog!
Qin Ying turned pale and said, "Chen Jiusi, you’ve lost your mind. If you really kill me, you won’t have a good end. If Yelu finds out, you probably won’t live to see tomorrow!"
Chen Jie responded, "Yes, if he were certain that you were killed by me, then I would surely meet a dire end, but he won’t find out that I’m the killer!"
"That’s impossible; there’s no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Outside here..."
Qin Ying gestured outside, to which Chen Jie replied with narrowed eyes, "There were seventeen guards in total, all of whom have been dealt with. Hence, no one in this courtyard knows of my visit."
Hearing this, Qin Bao and Qin Hu exchanged glances, a look of panic in their eyes.
Qin Ying bit his teeth and said, "Fine, even if there are no eyewitnesses, your Martial Arts style and your Cross Training cannot be concealed!"
Chen Jie smiled at this, then slowly raised his hand. In an instant, a layer of frost emerged on his hand!
Seeing this frost, the three Qin brothers widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost!
"Mystic Ice Power!"
Fear, no, terror appeared on Qin Ying’s face.
Indeed, this was Nan Batian’s Mystic Ice Power, but it was Chen Jie’s improved version. Chen Jie couldn’t resist the curiosity of trying it out.
Of course, it wasn’t just curiosity. As Chen Jie read about the Mystic Ice Power, he had unwittingly begun to practice it.
A mere reflex action, and when he noticed, he was shocked, almost believing he’d have to say goodbye to intimate games with his wife, Mrs. Huang.
But unexpectedly, Chen Jie made a surprising discovery.
While executing the Mystic Ice Power, his Yang Chun Skill was also gradually activating.
Indeed, the Mystic Ice Power could produce a very domineering Cold Ice Gang Qi which rampaged unrestrained within the body, especially in the lower meridians. If one’s guard dropped, it could easily damage the kidney’s essence.
Yet as Chen Jie practiced Mystic Ice Power, his Yang Chun Skill also activated, acting like a protective net over his lower meridians, and no matter how wildly the Gang Qi rampaged, it caused almost no harm to him.
