Book 1 Chapter 7.2 – Essence Cleansing Pill
Eight at night was when Shanghai was most enchanting and most prosperous.
A brand new 2013 limited edition Chevrolet limousine sped past the Shanghai Bund. Within this vehicle was indeed Tianzhong Mingnan and his three bodyguards as well as an accompanying friend.
His real bodyguard was actually the accompanying individual, Shanxia Xiaoyuan! Shanxia Xiaoyuan was a Clear Sword Style sword expert.
Currently, Tianzhong Mingnan was extremely proud and happy!
He really did receive the Essence Cleansing Pill, the Essence Cleansing Pill from legends. Of course, for the sake of this Essence Cleansing Pill, he was currently doing business worth one billion dollars with one of China’s groups – the Yu Ming Group.
Yu Ming Group had then given him a pill medicine – the Essence Cleansing Pill.
“Sir Tianzhong, this Essence Cleansing Pill couldn’t possibly be fake right?” asked Tianzhong Mingnan’s bodyguard, the Clear Sword Style Expert Shanxia Xiaoyuan.
“Sir Shanxia, you do not need to worry about this. I have a hundred percent certainty that this is definitely genuine.” Tianzhong Mingnan said with a brilliant and matchless smile,
“Ah, then I’ll simply congratulate you. When the General receives Sir Tianzhong’s Essence Cleansing Pill, then Sir Tianzhong’s position within the Obsidian Dragon Army will be…” Shanxia Xiaoyuan said while laughing.
Tianzhong Mingnan said with a pleased smile, “Once I deliver this Essence Cleansing Pill, my position will improve greatly. At that time… heh heh…” A flash of cold radiance flashed within Tianzhong Mingnan’s eyes.
Tianzhong Mingnan was looking at Shanxia Xiaoyuan who was currently seated on the side, and laughed deeply. “What do you know about my brother’s position within the Ninjutsu Five Sect? Also this Yu Ming Group’s background is not something that you can imagine.”
“This time, older brother paid such a high price in order to obtain this Essence Cleansing Pill, why did he do this? Don’t tell me that this was solely to improve my position?” Tianzhong Mingnan always felt fear towards his older brother.
Tianzhong Mingxing was a Deputy Sect Lord within the Ninjutsu Five Sect. At the same time, he was one of the Obsidian Dragon Army’s five major generals. He was an individual who was deeply unfathomable, matchlessly sinister, and terrifyingly merciless.
“Mister Tianzhong, we have already arrived at the hotel!” The driver pulled up by Shangri-La Hotel.
Tianzhong Mingnan was extremely excited today. The evening was the most beautiful time of the day, how could he return to his hotel at this time?
“There’s no rush, the Chairman of Yu Ming group gave me a golden VIP card. I still need to pay a visit to the bar that he was talking about!” Tianzhong Mingnan’s face had a trace of a joyous smile. Of course he knew what kind of place this club was.
“Yes!” The driver immediately steered the car and drove on.
From far away, Li Yang’s face revealed a hint of a smile. “Ho… You didn’t return to Shangri-La Hotel? You are really rather discreet, it isn’t as easy to clean up after an a.s.sa.s.sination within the Shangri-La Hotel. By not returning, you are giving me way more opportunities!”
Shanghai’s western suburbs, outside of a luxurious villa.
“Sir Tianzhong, this place was an excellent place after all. However, I have something to say beforehand. I will stay and enjoy myself right here, you should not pull me along at any cost!” Shanxia Xiaoyuan was a Clear Sword Style sword expert. Clear Sword Style’s disciples were all vegetarians, and normally would not go to these ‘special’ places.
Tianzhong Mingnan laughed while saying, “Sir Shanxia, I know that you are training in the ways of the sword, but sometimes you still need to enjoy yourself. Don’t worry, I won’t force you, but at the very least Sir Shanxia should accompany me inside. This time, Sir Shanxia’s mission is to protect me and must not leave me alone. Because of this, you must come inside with me.”
Shanxia Xiaoyuan bitterly smiled, and walked out from within the car. His mission this time was indeed to protect Tianzhong Mingnan, and could not leave Tianzhong Mingnan.
“Go.” Tianzhong Mingnan led Shanxia Xiaoyuan, and the three bodyguards following closely behind. Their goal was the big doors in front of them.
Xiu!
An ice-cold blade awn flashed by!
“Careful!” Shanxia Xiaoyuan’s tranquil sword arts bursted out and began to fluctuate, immediately locating the Flying Dagger. At that moment, he let out a big shout and with a flip of his hand, a long sword appeared in his grip; he decided to block the Flying Dagger with his sword. Shanxia Xiaoyuan was actually a first-rate sword expert. Slightly moving his right wrist, the long sword resolutely slashed out, and within the air there was a flash of sword brilliance. It was obvious that Shanxia Xiaoyuan’s sword was a treasure sword.
Shanxia Xiaoyuan had a slight smile, because his sword had already completely blocked the trajectory of that Flying Dagger.
A cold smile appeared from the dark place Li Yang was currently at, and his mental state instantly entered the ‘Joyous Spirit Boundary’. His state of mind immediately connected to his Flying Dagger!
Directional Shift!
When the Flying Dagger reached a distance of two meters from where Shanxia Xiaoyuan stood, it suddenly changed directions! Backed with the power from Li Yang’s wrist strength, internal energy, as well the unique techniques of the “Xiao Li Flying Dagger”, the distance of two meters to a lightning fast Flying Dagger was absolutely insignificant.
Shanxia Xiaoyuan’s mental state was momentarily shocked, but before he could react, the Flying Dagger already pierced through his throat!
“Xiao Li Flying Dagger!” Shanxia Xiaoyuan’s round eyes were wide open, and remembered the rumor that there was a top-level expert in Shanghai. However, before Shanxia Mingnan could comprehend why “Xiao Li Flying Dagger” would target the measly Tianzhong Mingnan, he had already died!
Ah!
Only now did Tianzhong Mingnan yell out.
Xiu Xiu… Li Yang’s hands were like lightning, instantly firing out four Flying Daggers!
Before Tianzhong Mingnan’s bodyguards even had the chance to pull out their guns, their throats were already pierced through by the Flying Daggers.
“Tianzhong Mingnan! Heng!” Li Yang remembered the information written on the doc.u.ments provided to him. They said that Tianzhong Mingnan committed a despicable evil of raping and murdering three Chinese transfer students in j.a.pan. Not only that, but one of the students was the only daughter of a former comrade-in-arms leader of the Security Bureau who died in battle.
Tianzhong Mingxing chose Tianzhong Mingnan especially for this mission precisely because Tianzhong Mingnan was an insignificant figure within the Obsidian Dragon Army.
Mountain Pa.s.s Group’s Obsidian Dragon Army had numerous amounts of people, if it was not a major figure that entered China, the Security Bureau would not send top-level experts to a.s.sa.s.sinate them. Tianzhong Mingnan’s flattering and insignificant character would not be viewed with importance. Hiring a Clear Sword Style Expert would be enough.
However, heaven’s justice allowed no one to escape, and Tianzhong Mingnan who committed that despicable deed in the past indeed met retribution! No matter how much Tianzhong Mingxing though about this, he would not imagine that he would fail in this area.
“Who is it!” At the door of that luxurious villa suddenly appeared security men who were coldly shouting.
The stone that usually gave off a dark l.u.s.ter hanging around his chest suddenly flashed with a red light. Li Yang began to feel his heart beat faster and his mind was a bit fuzzy. Instantly, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Tianzhong Mingnan’s corpse. Reaching out his hands, Flying Dagger’s radiance flashed for a moment before suddenly cutting off all of Tianzhong Mingnan’s clothes. Li Yang at once removed from within Tianzhong Mingnan’s clothes a jade case. Upon obtaining the jade case, the stone hanging on Li Yang’s collar flashed a red light. After dimming, Li Yang suddenly discovered that his mind was clear again.
“What happened? How did I know that Tianzhong Mingnan carried a jade case with him? How did I know that the jade case was sandwiched between his clothes?” Li Yang appeared to be extremely puzzled, however he suddenly heard the steps of the luxurious villa’s security.
Li Yang could not afford to think about this anymore, and at once activated his internal energy. His body sped up, and like a puff of smoke disappeared from the street.
When the luxurious villa’s security squad arrived, all they saw was the dead body of a j.a.panese man as well as the petrified driver.
