I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess Novel - Chapter 93
Chapter 93: Two-faced (3)
The confidante said, “Over the years, you’ve done so many things for the higher-ups, my lord. You have accumulated immense wealth for them, and completed several top-secret missions. If you encounter danger, surely they will not stand by and do nothing?”
The Prefectural Governor shook his head.
“You don’t understand! Back then, I had no choice but to rely on this backer. If not for that, I wouldn’t have been able to climb to my current position. But it’s different now. Anyone who can become a threat to him must die.”
“Are we sending someone to kill them?” The aide made a beheading gesture.
“Hmph! Either we do it flawlessly, or else we don’t do it at all,” said the Prefectural Governor.
“Can you master it now?”
The confidante said, “There’s only a 50% chance of success. Once it’s released, even if we silence those two, Horizon Prefecture will be plunged into misery and suffering.”
“We can’t take care of so many things now. We’ve been forced to this point. There’s no way out for us. They’re just a bunch of ants. What does it matter to us how many of them die? At most, the Imperial Court will censure and dismiss us.”
“I understand. I’ll make the arrangements now.” The confidante accepted the order and left.
The Prefectural Governor’s eyes flickered as he looked in the direction of the Divine Sword Guards and said with a sneer, “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then go to hell!”
At night,
darkness fell. There were only a few scattered stars in the night sky, emitting weakly glowing starlight.
A huge dark cloud covered the sky and appeared above the base station of the Divine Sword Guards without warning. An evil and strange demonic aura surged, containing monstrous killing intent, terrifying and murderous.
This aura had already changed the surrounding atmosphere, forcefully changing the space.
In the dark clouds,
a thousand-foot-tall demon with bloodthirsty eyes bigger than eggs stared downwards, his eyes rolling wildly.
…
Roar!
With a loud roar through the sky, his voice was like thunder, ripping apart heaven and earth.
The sound turned into a thunderous demonic sound and shot downwards.
Wherever the sonic boom passed, waves of air surged and turned into void. Everything that laid in his path was destroyed.
In the room,
Xiao Ran opened his eyes and discovered the demon the moment he appeared.
His brows knitted together in puzzlement.
“A demon at Level 1 of the Profound Realm? From the looks of it, it has lost its mind too. How can a mere Prefectural Governor be so capable as to control such a powerful demon?”
A cocky smile appeared on his face, slowly deepening.
‘Things are getting interesting.’
At this moment, the demon launched his attack. Xiao Ran did not hesitate any longer and left the room. He looked at the roiling air waves that were sweeping across heaven and earth like a long rainbow. It covered a huge area and fully covered the entire base station of the Divine Sword Guards.
“Break!”
A gush of purifying spiritual force rushed out of his palm and transformed into a net of golden rays, breaking the onrushing airwaves completely.
In a flash, he was standing across from the demon.
This was a Jade Poison Scorpion, but he was different from what Xiao Ran had seen in the Divine Sword Guards’ records.
The Jade Poison Scorpion in front of him actually had a pair of wings. His whole body was black, ablaze with dark green flames.
A terrifying poisonous fog spread out, corroding all vitality.
Even experts of the same realm would instantly turn into a pile of bones if they were to get stained by just a bit of this strong poison.
He glared at Xiao Ran.
He instinctively sensed a strong vital energy from him. As long as he ate him, he would be able to obtain a bonus as bountiful as heaven’s gift.
The Jade Poison Scorpion opened his mouth and roared. The sound he made was very strange.
Like lightning, the sound wave contained in it this time was even stronger. It transformed into a monstrous sword that cut through the ages and slashed down in an overpowering manner.
“Playing with a sword right before my eyes?” Xiao Ran said in a mocking tone.
Facing the huge sword that came slashing at him, his Sword Intent converged and appeared in his palm.
His Sword Intent at the Genesis level had already reached its pinnacle
“Come here.”
An unbelievable scene happened. Incredibly, this onrushing huge sword that could severely injure a Level 1 Profound Realm expert began to fall apart.
It reverted into its original form of sword energy and was devoured by the Sword Intent contained in Xiao Ran’s palm.
The Jade Poison Scorpion was furious. His ferocious aura soared into the sky.
The demonic aura rolled and churned madly, then it charged forward ferociously.
The poison contained in his wings condensed to form an even more terrifying original poison essence. With the flick of his hooked tail, the poison essence was flung through the air at lightning speed, heading straight for Xiao Ran’s head.
“Summon the Wind!” Xiao Ran invoked this skill.
His spiritual soul energy surged out. He decided to test the power of this spiritual skill.
The world went black again. The wind of death started blowing and turned into three black dragons that landed on the demon’s hooked tail with a roar.
The Summon the Wind skill, imbued with the true meaning of death, was not something the demon could withstand even if the skill was only at the level of Minor Achievement.
The hooked tail was instantly broken, and three black dragons charged past it into the scorpion’s body.
Time stood still for a moment.
The vitality in the Jade Poison Scorpion’s body had completely dissipated, leaving only a complete physical body.
Then,
his huge physical body fell to the ground.
With a flap of his sleeve, Xiao Ran activated the Universal Phenomenon and put his body away.
Looking at the remaining poisonous gas and the thick dark clouds around him, with one step on the ground, rays of golden light swept across and dispersed everything.
Looking down in a particular direction, a man in black hid in the shadows, secretly watching everything.
Although he couldn’t see the actual site,
from the fluctuations of the different auras, the battle between heaven and earth was very intense. The person engaging the Jade Poison Scorpion in battle was at least a Profound Realm expert.
He was feeling confused, with a hint of panic.
The battle ended very quickly. Much to his disbelief, the Jade Poison Scorpion’s aura had totally disappeared.
He turned his attention back to the present.
The man in black cursed. “He was killed.”
Utilizing his movement technique, he fled into the darkness.
“You can’t escape me!” Xiao Ran barked.
Crossing immense distances, he reappeared directly in front of the fleeing man. He didn’t even have time to check the reward in the Golden Tome of Creation.
His palm reached out and pressed against his head, subduing him.
