Chapter 377: Ah, so Tiring
Chen Ming staggered three steps from the chops soon followed by the spear landing on his back.
Pain exploded behind him and blood leaked from his mouth.
If not for Allheaven Stellar Array, those hits would have left him in a critical state.
Chen Ming couldnât afford to drift off. This moment was when the enemies would stand there and survey their work. He used this chance as he leaped towards Six Sabers, blade at the ready.
Six Sabers had the molting escape method but he couldnât use it as he pleased. This blow bisected him before he touched the ground.
Chen Ming spat blood as he heard the crunch of Six Sabersâ skull under his foot.
With Six Sabersâ brains to mush, he threw a smile at Star Spear, âTheyâre all dead. As a decent man, I shall remove the loneliness of traveling the Underworld River all by your lonesome and send you all together!â
Chen Ming rushed Star Spear as the later thrust his spear in a flurry, barring Chen Ming from approaching.
An inch longer, an inch stronger. An inch shorter, an inch of danger.
Chen Ming used his Eight Dragon-ascending Steps.
The azure dragon soared under his feet as he jumped behind Star Spear. He flipped his saber and impaled his back. Chen Ming wasnât one to let him off with such a light wound.
But as he was about to deal him another, Star Spearâ spear soul mounted an offensive as it came out and sent Chen Ming reeling three steps.
Chen Ming held on to Two Year Cicada. It was sad that the Obscure Gates Swordplay Array has lost its use since Dao Empyrean Bamboo had yet to reach the immortal rank. Chen Ming hadnât found a suitable method to help it grow.
After all, everyone said he cultivated fake immortality. Dao Empyrean Bamboo was the best magic weapon that fit him like a glove. Of course it was hard to find a way to improve it.
Under Allheaven Stellar Arrayâs pressure, Chen Ming stormed Star Spear again. The later used the same tactic of launching a torrent of spear images.
Figuring out its real position, and with the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps, Chen Ming brushed passed the spear and swiped his saber across Star Spearâ neck. He held his head to hang in the air, âItâs unlikely for you to know who wants me dead, is it not?â
Star Spear ignored him.
Chen Ming didnât pursue to question him further. The assassins and the handlers were on different sides, preventing the clientâs information from leaking.
Isnât Dark Star Lord a bit impatient sending them after me in such times?
But Chen Ming was unaware of Dark Starâs strength, Better ask around.
Dark Star was once the Facelessâ power and should still prove useful.
Plus, Iâm not about to let a dark power similar to me roam free once the Three-headed Dragon Constellation is united.
Chen Ming found a cave and blocked it with a rock after entering. He donned the Faceless mask, âThief Bu Liuhen, wielder of Heavenly Wolf Bow, Yang Hun, heed my callâŠâ
Chen Mingâs shadow popped in his hall. Bu Liuhen and Yang Hun saw the reverence in each otherâs eyes, Sire Faceless is calling.
They left everything and closed their eyes.
Chen Ming turned to Bu Liuhen, âDo you know Dark Starâs location?â
Regarding an unknown power like Dark Star, Chen Ming had no way of getting its location in the old fashion way. The Dark Star Lord has to be a Celestial Immortal at best. How could he figure out the star he needed in the Fate Stars sea when the vastness exceeded imagination?
Although not to the extent of Ding Kuang, a Gold Immortal, his Fate Star was still shining!
Bu Liuhen was confused, âSire Faceless, Dark Star is the easiest to subdue. They all worship Sire!â
Question marks popped over Chen Mingâs head, Let me get this straight. I can inherit my predecessorâs power? Well this is a tad awkward.
But who was Chen Ming? Such trifle couldnât embarrass one such as him, âHeâs not worthy to be my Blade.â
The two were filled with exaltation, Sire Faceless values us so.
Bu Liuhen said, âI can estimate its position but not the specific star.â
Yang Hun said, âI have a plan. Since Sire Faceless does not deign to have their leader as his Blade, Bu Liuhen, who is in charge of intelligence and the leader is managing assassinations, it would be better if you pose as a client and make him your subordinate.â
âOnly, this plan needs Sire Facelessâ appearance. As long as the star isnât too far, I can shoot an arrow ten stars away. Sire Faceless needs only confirm Dark Starâs location and inform me through the Heavenly Wolf Bow, saving Sire Faceless for personally intervening.â
In Chen Mingâs heart, This goes well with my justification of not involving myself!
Chen Ming nodded, âAgreed.â
Chen Ming removed the mask and returned safe and sound to River Officeâs city, to avoid making Wan Baqian worry. His returned earned not a small reaction from the cultivators, âImpossible! The best three assassins on the Earth Board are unable to kill Yan Mountain Mountain Lord?â
âHis power has no limits!â
âThis is the advantage of hiding oneâs cultivation. Dark Star was wrong in its assessment of Chen Mingâs strength!â
Chen Mingâs safe return had the fatty in high spirits, âMaster, I knew youâd be alright!â
âAlright, alright. Letâs return.â
Free of worry, little fatty resumed hiring alchemist en mass.
As for Li Suyi and Ling Xian, he had no worry whatsoever, Those little bastards are having the time of their lives playing around with the savage beasts. Their cultivation is the fastest. By the look of things, Ling Xian was the most likely choice of being the first to enter the Immortal realm.
That Dao Canon trinket got exceedingly excessive as it went up in realms, something Chen Ming was forced to accept.
Teaming up with the fatty, the two extended their recruiting to most alchemists in the constellation and were taking them to Yan Mountain branch.
Chen Ming and Wan Baqian sat in their immortal beast-pulled carriage. He was imparting the Heavenly Imperial Dao Cannon when he sensed Bu Liuhenâs call.
Time to act the part!
Ah, so Tiring!
