Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 959
Chapter 959 Eastward Diversion of Calamity Water (1)
“The Heavenly Punishment Platform is specifically used by the Heavenly Clan to deal with those who have committed serious crimes. On the surface, there seems to be nothing special about it, but in reality, there are many mechanisms and many Heavenly Clan magic arrays.
If we make good use of these formations, we might have a chance to rescue the Heavenly Clansmen who were beheaded this time. ”
Jiang Feng sat in the carriage that Alec had sent to pick him up. He kept thinking back to what Nie Ji Yun had told him before he left Cloud Tide Palace.
Jiang Feng knew that Nie Ji Yun really wanted him to rescue this “Heavenly Clan’s important figure” who was about to be beheaded this time, but Jiang Feng had no choice but to seriously consider the risks he had to take.
First of all, this beheading was clearly confidential. Those who could participate were definitely important figures in the Dark Devil Realm. There were many people like Archbishop Fred among them.
What was the status of the Archbishop in the Dark Devil Realm?
Within the Holy See, the supreme existence was the Pope. Under the Pope, it was the Archbishops who were in charge of all matters. In terms of status and power, an archbishop was no less powerful than a member of parliament, or even more powerful.
Jiang Feng attacked in front of such a person. It was simply too difficult to be foolproof.
However, it didn’t mean that he had to give up. This was definitely not Jiang Feng’s character.
For the moment, Jiang Feng was not thinking of giving up on saving people, but avoiding the risk and diverting the calamity to the east.
Along with the carriage slowly moving forward, Jiang Feng’s mind was constantly thinking of different plans.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng heard the carriage he was riding in. The horse let out a loud hissing sound. Clearly, the horse was frightened.
The horse driver continuously issued orders to control the Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse that was pulling the carriage. Jiang Feng sat in the carriage and secretly used his own strength to stabilize the carriage. After the Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse slowly stabilized, Jiang Feng lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
“Oh, who do I think I am? It turns out to be General Boni. How disrespectful.”
Jiang Feng suddenly sneered in his heart. The so-called narrow path of enmity was nothing more than this.
The streets of the Heavenly Clan Palace stretched out in all directions. However, Jiang Feng was able to run into Mengde on his way to the Heavenly Punishment Platform.
Mengde was also riding a Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse. However, this Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse was different from an ordinary Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse. Ordinary Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horses were covered in pure black fur. However, Mengde’s horse was black and golden. Although it looked somewhat incongruous, it actually meant that his horse contained some Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood, Mali’s Royal Bloodline.
This could also explain why the Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse in Jiang Feng’s carriage was shocked. In the Dark Demon Realm, the difference in bloodline between demonic beasts was very obvious.
Normal bloodlines would kneel down without weakening their legs when they saw the king bloodline. This Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse was normally well-trained.
Mengde had suffered a huge loss from Jiang Feng twice. Moreover, because of Jiang Feng, the martial forces in the Dark Demon New Territories had been completely suppressed by the demonic forces.
These days, Windsor and Augustus were chasing after the martial forces in the Dark Demon New Territories Military Headquarters. Therefore, when Mengde saw Jiang Feng now, he felt like drinking his blood and eating his flesh.
However, even so, he was still able to face Jiang Feng with a smile. This also proved that although Mengde looked brave and impulsive on the surface, he wasn’t that unbearable in reality.
If someone really treated Mengde as a brave and foolish rascal, it was likely that the person who suffered the first would be himself.
Jiang Feng saw Mengde get out of the carriage after he saw him. He stood beside Mengde’s horse. After thinking for a while, Mengde rolled over and got off the horse.
Jiang Feng reached out his hand and touched the Ghost-Faced Demonic Blood Horse that had some royal bloodline. He smiled and said, “General Mengde, this is really a good horse. In terms of value, it should be worth 100,000 Demonic Crystal Coins, right?”
“A hundred thousand?” Mengde coldly snorted in disdain. “When Skar was a young horse, I spent 270,000 magic crystal coins to auction it off at the auction. Afterwards, I used the Black Forest Tiger’s blood and the Nethernight Fruit to feed it every day. Even if it was worth a million magic crystal coins, it wouldn’t be too much.”
“Wow!” Jiang Feng had a surprised expression on his face as his mouth opened into an “O” shape. He patted Skar on the neck and shook his head. “This horse is worth a million magic crystals. General Mengde is so rich. I wonder if I should report it to the Military and Political Affairs Department and ask them to investigate the origin of General Mengde’s wealth.”
Jiang Feng casually said this, as if he was joking or serious.
After hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the smile on Mengde’s face froze. He frowned and said to Jiang Feng, “Boni, food can be eaten randomly. Don’t talk nonsense. I’m from a noble family. I can still take out a million magic crystal coins.”
Jiang Feng seemed to be obsessed with Mengde, so he kept rubbing his slender neck while talking to Mengde.
Jiang Feng was a little displeased when he heard Mengde’s tone. He immediately raised his head and said to Mengde, “General Mengde, this is too serious. I’m just joking with you.”
“But I don’t find what General Boni said funny.” Mengde said solemnly.
Jiang Feng smiled and raised his hands. “Alright, alright. I’m afraid of you. I’ll surrender. Alright, General Mengde, I have to go to the Heavenly Punishment Platform. It’s said that the Heavenly Clan’s Terminator Formation was discovered there. Several people who accidentally intruded into it are dead, including two-star experts. Let’s say goodbye and talk another day.”
Jiang Feng said as he prepared to leave. After thinking for a while, Mengde quickly stopped Jiang Feng and said, “Wait, Boni. What kind of grand formation did you just say about the Heavenly Clan?”
Jiang Feng, who was about to board the carriage, immediately stopped. He turned to look at Mengde and said, “Haven’t you heard? The Heavenly Clan’s Absolute Sealing Terminator Array is extremely powerful. I’m going to study it and see how it was set up.”
Don’t tell me, I’m quite worried. The triggering conditions of that formation were too simple. Only someone needed to move the nine zhang long tablet outside the Heavenly Punishment Platform horizontally by ten zhang to trigger it. “You said that if someone pushes the nine zhang long tablet in that formation, with my current strength, I’m not dead for sure?”
Jiang Feng pretended to be careless as he said those words to Mengde. In fact, Jiang Feng was using information inequality to set up a trap for Mengde.
If Mengde really believed it and had a murderous intent towards Jiang Feng, perhaps he would have taken Yiheng seriously and moved the nine zhang long monument outside the Heavenly Punishment Platform horizontally?
At that time, the Absolute Spirit Illusion Formation in the Heavenly Punishment Platform would be triggered. The Absolute Spirit Illusion Formation was a formation specially set up in the past to prevent experts from escaping. Within the Absolute Spirit Illusion Formation, no creature could display its own power, and an illusion could be formed in front of its eyes.
Once this formation was activated, Jiang Feng would have a chance to rescue him.
Of course, this was only Jiang Feng’s theoretical plan. Whether Mengde would follow Jiang Feng’s plan or not depended on Mengde’s own choice.
Jiang Feng then talked nonsense with Mengde. After a fake chat, Mengde took the initiative to say to Jiang Feng, “General Boni, I have to say goodbye to you first. Neil is injured, so I made an appointment with him to see him.”
“Alright, alright. Then I’ll go to the Heavenly Punishment Platform as well.”
Jiang Feng got into the carriage and left. Mengde watched Jiang Feng’s carriage leave and fell into deep thought.
One of Mengde’s four personal guards immediately stopped beside him. The man whispered to Mengde, “General, Boni said he was going to stay inside the formation. If we send someone to move the stone tablet to trigger the formation now, wouldn’t Boni be …”
The personal guard didn’t say anything else. After all, conspiring to assassinate a major general with the Dark Demon Divine Hero Medal was definitely a major crime of extermination. No one dared to get too deeply involved in it.
Mengde glanced at the guard and whispered, “Do you think I don’t want to kill him? But in the past few battles we fought with Boni, has Boni ever suffered a loss? This time he spoke so plainly that I felt more like he was trying to lure me into a trap.”
“What the general said makes sense. Shall we go see Sir Neil now?”
“Yes.”
Mengde nodded, his legs pinched the belly of the horse, and his horse immediately moved forward.
Mengde and the other five had just taken less than a hundred steps when Skar, who was under Mengde’s crotch, suddenly raised his head and let out a mournful cry. Skar spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.
Mengde exclaimed, “Skar!”
Mengde almost fell to the ground because of Skar’s sudden fall. However, he was at least a three-star expert, so he quickly reacted and jumped from his horse to the ground.
Mengde picked up Skar’s horse head. Skar sobbed and looked at Mengde, then closed his eyes.
Mengde hurriedly examined Skar’s body. Only after this examination did he discover that the meridians in Skar’s body had been completely destroyed by a violent force.
“Boni! It must be Boni!” Mengde furiously roared twice. His pair of big copper bell-like eyes instantly turned blood red.
Mengde stood up and prepared to chase after Jiang Feng, but his four personal guards quickly pulled him back. One of his closest personal guards comforted Mengde, “General Mengde, don’t be impulsive.” Think about it. When Boni left, Skar was fine. He only had the strength of a Saint Devil Mentor. He must have used some other secret technique to kill Skar. “If we continue to cause trouble for him without any evidence, we might be harassed by him, General!”
