Chapter 449 Overnight Revenge
Chapter 449 Overnight Revenge
"Jinxi Yan family, a top-class family."
"As for me, I was lucky. I was born as a legitimate son."
"And he happened to have good qualifications, so he was given the title of super genius."
"Promoting to a hero in the future will surely be easy."
Yan Liang glanced around the prison, took out a handkerchief and wiped his palms. He stretched out his right arm and leaned forward, smiling: "I rarely show friendship to the inferiors. You may not want to hear this, but people do have different levels. If you don't even have the courage to face this, then I can only say that you are the lowest of the lowest."
no answer.
Jiang He's eyes were calm and no emotion could be seen.
Yan Liang sat back indifferently. It was better if they didn't want to shake hands, and he didn't have to endure it.
"Look at you, why did you run back for no reason?"
Yan Liang pulled out a dagger from his military boots to trim his nails, and said nonchalantly: "Major General Yuan wanted to kill you, Yu Jianyue wanted to protect you, and I couldn't bear to see the lower class suffer, so you should also be more considerate and not make things difficult for everyone, how about that?"
"There is a border trade group stationed in the fortress. It's normal that you don't know much about them. They are basically brokers of racial trade. Handsome men and beautiful women of the vampire race are very popular among the upper class of the empire. The vampire race also needs all kinds of canned honey and blood. The world is not black and white."
Yan Liang put down the dagger, smeared some blood from the deaf-mute old man's severed head, and then smeared it on his fingernails. He raised his palm to admire the light of the prison and said casually:
"I'll give you a compromise."
"Now, immediately, immediately, if you escape from prison again, I will arrange for you to join the Border Merchants Group and go directly to the Infernal Fortress."
"In this way, Major General Yuan doesn't have to keep any secrets, and you don't have to die here. Yu Jianyue has achieved his goal of saving you, Duke Merrick has calmed down the anger and eliminated a war invisibly, and I've been busy all along, but I just want a little reward. We all have a bright future, what do you think?"
Yan Liang leaned forward again and looked into the other person's eyes.
The only problem with this plan is that someone might have to suffer, and Duke Merrick would never let someone die a quick death.
"Finally, I want to say that the inspection major transferred by Yu Jianyue has a temporary mission. If successful, he will be promoted to the Jinxi Fortress Inspection Department. In other words, Major General Yuan will have no scruples next, and you will never see him gentle again."
Inside the prison, blood was flowing on the ground, the lights on the ceiling flickered, the red moonlight splashing in through the skylight was eerie and gloomy, and there was a faint stench of blood everywhere.
Yan Liang clapped his hands, and a secretary came in holding a head. It was Si Chuan. The meaning was self-evident.
Facing the naked threat, Jiang He's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and after a while he smiled and said, "Do you know how many people died in Wujian Fortress?"
"Tens of millions." Yan Liang replied. This number was indeed shocking.
"The destruction of tens of millions of people under the watchful eyes of Duke Merrick has little to do with the four of us." Jiang He flipped his hand, and a wooden box appeared. He threw it over and continued, "The value of this thing is greater than the Undying Battleship. Go back and think about it slowly. I'll wait for you to come to me again."
"Wow, you are so confident." Yan Liang looked at the wooden box with a smile, then stood up and said, "I will only give you three days to consider the prison break. No more time after that."
Jiang He closed his eyes and rested.
……
The night ends.
In the fortress bar, Yu Jianyue sat at the bar, listening to the colonel from the Yu family report on the situation, and his face did not look good.
"Sichuan is dead?"
"The news has been verified. He Xiaoqi has the support of his colleagues and old superiors. Jiang Wuyang is wanted by the Duke of the Blood Clan and is very important. Not long after the Major of Inspection was transferred, Si Chuan died in prison."
After a while, Yu Jianyue sighed: "Let's drink and enjoy life today. I have tried my best."
Colonel Yu said goodbye and left.
After a few glasses of super rice wine, Yu Jianyue knocked on the table and said, "Brother, these guys don't take you, the governor, seriously at all."
The old bartender smiled and said calmly, "The imperial power does not extend below the county level. As long as everything is stable and the dark race is deterred, I have fulfilled my responsibility. If you get into trouble today and he gets into trouble tomorrow, interfering in other people's affairs will only lead to me getting into trouble. What? Do you want me to go one step further?"
Yu Jianyue shook the wine glass. If the Jiedushi went one step further, he could not stay there any longer. He had to go to Tiandu to serve in the imperial court. Once he reached that whirlpool, his life and death would not be in his own hands. There were only two people who could stand firm in the past hundred years: one was the prime minister and the other was the champion king. Both of them had the strength of heroes.
The old bartender took the empty glass and wiped it, then asked casually, "What did that kid say? Major General Yuan and Yan Liang both have bad intentions. How about we make a bet and see if he can survive three days?"
"What can I do?" Yu Jianyue laid down on the table and said sleepily, "He will always find a way. He is quite capable."
……
The moonlight is like blood.
Fortress villa area.
Since a fortress-level building is guarded by at least one powerful hero, it is extremely safe and every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
Inside the luxurious villa, Yan Liang dismissed his followers and carefully looked at the simple wooden box in his hand.
It has to be said that he was indeed very interested in the fact that the Wujian Fortress was almost destroyed. The deterrent-level means worth tens of millions were of strategic significance to the aristocratic families. At the very least, if they were hidden, they could also serve as their trump card at the critical moment.
"The fortress was destroyed by the plague, so we still have to divine before we can open it."
"Caution is the boat."
Yan Liang took out a revolver without losing his vigilance. The six bullets inside were engraved with the words "good or bad luck", "severe regret" and "no blame" respectively.
There is no need to say much about good and bad luck. "Li" means good or bad luck is uncertain, "hui" refers to regret, "ju" refers to mistakes and disasters, and as for "wu", it means there is no situation.
The immortal revolver transfers autonomously.
boom!
Yan Liang fired, and a bullet flew out softly.
"none."
"I'm not stupid enough to resort to some tricks."
"It should be a hook to lure me into negotiation."
Yan Liang shook his head and laughed, then opened the wooden box with confidence.
"What is more valuable than the Immortal Battleship?"
"Your life."
The wooden box was opened, and a bullet was lying quietly inside. It was bright red and crystal clear. At the moment Yan Liang raised his eyebrows, the bright red bullet suddenly disappeared, and a tall figure descended. A voice in his ear was cold but as loud as thunder.
The man had an extremely handsome face, his long platinum hair was fading to black, his eyes were gradually turning bright red, and the aura of a vampire duke flowed out of him.
With all speed capabilities activated, Jiang He's hand knife stabbed and cut into the opponent's heart cavity, making a teeth-grinding friction sound between the ribs. He was just an ordinary gold, let alone a super genius, even a growing superpower, was nothing to him.
Yan Liang was completely unaware of the attack, and death had already come. The shattering of the core of the domain brought back his life. He looked painful and terrified, as the attack came too suddenly.
"Do not!!"
Jiang He grabbed the prey's head, and the immortal-level extraordinary burst of power blessed the control of plants. Thorns spread from the palm of his hand, crawled into Yan Liang's eye sockets, mouth and nose, and spread wildly in his body.
But in an instant, Yan Liang became a dried corpse, and the dragon soul of the Changhen Dragon Spear completely annihilated his soul.
Jiang He killed the secretary outside the door. Regardless of his form and five senses, Xueying was normal. After making sure that nothing was missed, he picked up the wooden box and disappeared.
A quarter of an hour later, seeing that Yan Liang had not come downstairs yet, the personal maid brought up dinner.
Crackling!
"Someone, someone, come!"
"Come quickly, there are assassins!"
The chaos was quickly ignited by screams at midnight.
……
In the bar.
The shrill alarm sounding above the fortress woke Yu Jianyue up.
The old bartender put down his empty glass and his eyes became very sharp.
Colonel Yu came to report, and said hastily: "Yan Ziliang was assassinated, and the fortress military has detained all 3,000 people from the border merchant group. It is suspected that a high-ranking vampire has infiltrated."
Yu Jianyue scratched his ears, and after making sure he had heard correctly, his expression looked a little strange.
Very few people knew that Yan Liang was coming, and the travel information of these super geniuses was specially concealed by the corresponding organization of the Empire.
Of course, even a super genius would not be able to arrange for a peak gold warrior to serve as a guard. Such a strong man is already able to take the helm of a middle-class family and is unwilling and unable to be ordered around by others.
The death of Yan Liang means that the relationship between Cangwu Fortress and the neighboring Jinxi Fortress is about to enter a tense stage, especially when it comes to high-ranking vampires.
The old bartender picked up Yu Jianyue by the collar and left.
The latter only felt like they were running at lightning speed. After counting to five breaths, the two of them arrived at the Yan family's villa. Military soldiers had surrounded the place, and a professional investigation team intervened.
"The aura of the high-ranking vampires is genuine. We have been enemies for thousands of years. There is no way we could be wrong about this."
"There are traces of thorn magic at the scene..."
"Notify the lieutenant general on the mainland immediately..."
"The Yan family and the people from the Western Territory are on their way..."
The deputy commander of the fortress directed the overall situation in an orderly manner. He summoned Major General Yuan and said sternly: "Stop all the recent small moves. Don't let anyone from the border merchant group escape. Now is not the time for you to make trouble. The Duke of the Blood Clan is very likely still in the fortress. Some things are no longer a matter of weight once they are weighed. If I lose my hat, we will find a place to fight to the death." Major General Yuan was struck by lightning when he heard this. The serious situation caused by Yan Liang's assassination directly disrupted his own affairs. From now on, everything in Cangwu Fortress will be laid out and subject to investigation by all parties.
"how so!"
Major General Yuan gritted his teeth. Not all upper-class families have super geniuses. As long as one is born, the influence he will exert will be considerable before it is confirmed that he has no chance of becoming a hero.
The time, place, victim and murderer of this incident are all wrong. It is easy to exaggerate to the evil level of colluding with the blood clan and launching a political assassination. No matter what the real attitude of the Yan family is, they will inevitably show enough madness, otherwise people will realize that there is no price to pay for killing the children of the Yan family.
Just when Major General Yuan was feeling extremely confused.
Yu Jianyue walked over and said in a cold voice: "Major General, the 48 hours for the warrantless investigation will be up soon. Can I take my people away?"
Major General Yuan was furious and said, "This happened after you came back. You are all suspects! Yan Liang was in prison the day before his death. Jiang Wuyang must not be released!"
"So what you mean is that a quasi-alchemy master at the peak of the silver level not only escaped from prison, but also found time to kill a super genius, and then returned without caring about anyone?" Yu Jianyue sneered, "Who are you insulting here? Do you want to settle the account of Si Chuan's unjust death tomorrow?
An officer nearby lowered his head and laughed. To be able to reach the quasi-master level in alchemy at such a young age meant that his combat power was no longer worth expecting, not to mention that he could quickly kill a golden genius across time. Moreover, he would have to disguise himself as a vampire duke and deceive the vampire's archenemy who had been fighting against him for a thousand years. Even the two men in the court would not have been able to dream of such a difficult task when they were young.
The deputy commander of the fortress came over, grabbed Major General Yuan by the collar, and said coldly: "You have lost the most basic judgment. It will not be easy for me to deal with the Yan family next time. Don't cause me any more trouble. Go back to your barracks and rest for a few days. Remember, rest honestly!"
"...I understand." Major General Yuan gritted his teeth.
Yu Jianyue whistled, put his hands on his head and turned away. The mastermind behind Major General Yuan was not the military, but someone else.
……
In jail.
Jiang He sat cross-legged on the ground, chewing some earth cakes to neutralize stomach acid.
The boomerang finally stabbed me. I should have focused more on the taste, which is not difficult.
Bang!
The cell door opens.
Yu Jianyue walked in in a motorcycle suit.
She pulled out a chair and sat down, then kicked the door shut with her back leg, looking interested.
"It's just the two of us now."
"Your Excellency the Duke."
Jiang He raised his head calmly, "What are you talking about?"
Yu Jianyue lifted her legs, crossed her arms and smiled, "The famous gun I hide is nicknamed Natural Enemy. It is extremely powerful and is good at bombarding enemies with pure and massive source power. When dealing with dark creatures, I will adjust to Dawn Source Power, otherwise I will use Dark Source Power."
"If you don't care about your life, you can deliver a blow comparable to that of a heroic elite. As for whether it will hit or not, I don't know. The good news is that the enemy doesn't know either, so it's perfect."
"Here comes the point. The characteristics of natural enemies have a derivative ability, which is discrimination. This is also the origin of the nickname."
"I'm not a person who is attracted by beauty..."
"Is it."
Yu Jianyue glared at the other person and continued, "Before I dismounted, I deliberately... checked your chest. It was definitely a high-ranking vampire. But I don't care. After all, you at least led me out of the Wujian Fortress."
"Until you assassinated the Imperial genius."
"People have their own standpoints." Yu Jianyue sighed, "The only thing that can influence one's standpoint is interests or friendship. I don't care about the former, but the latter requires trust first."
"So, Your Excellency the Duke."
Yu Jianyue's eyes were icy cold, "Don't force me, at least show some sincerity."
The dim lights flickered.
Jiang He remained calm and said, "What do you mean?"
The lights suddenly went completely dark.
Yu Jianyue suddenly laughed out loud, stood up and waved, saying happily: "You are right to refuse to repent, you only care about personal feelings and ignore the greater good, we are the same kind of people..."
"It's incomprehensible. What are you talking about?"
Yu Jianyue: “…”
That’s enough, are you addicted to pretending?
Jiang He untied the open stone shackles and said indifferently, "It seems there is movement outside, can we go now?"
Yu Jianyue couldn't help but feel suspicious. Can people really pretend to this extent? If so, what about the trust between people?
……
The two men walked out of the cell one after another, picked up He Xiaoqi, and headed straight for the fortress battleship field.
Yu Jianyue requisitioned a perfect-class transport ship, which is a privilege for super geniuses.
"Sichuan... um... good brother Sichuan..."
On the transport ship, He Xiaoqi cried bitterly and mourned the dead Si Chuan. The other party died unjustly, while he himself survived, which made him feel ashamed.
"The moral standard is quite high." Yu Jianyue secretly criticized his uncle and drifted around a curve to control the transport ship into the air.
Sitting in his seat, Jiang He used the court bulletin to understand the imperial ecology.
Normally, upper-class families would not marry other upper-class families. Under the high-pressure environment of the empire, the probability of in-laws taking advantage of others' misfortunes was much higher than that of a strong alliance. Moreover, there were the five major clans watching. The two upper-class families ignored the risks and continued to merge. They had basically only one purpose, which was to dethrone one of the clans.
"Are we leaving just like this?" He Xiaoqi asked tearfully.
"What else?" Yu Jianyue tilted his head, "The Cangwu Fortress hasn't even been sealed off. If the Duke is pushed into a corner, the result will be a war."
He Xiaoqi couldn't believe it: "A duke entered the city. It's such a good opportunity, and no one surrounded and killed him?"
"That's the theory, but isn't it normal to cover up everything after something happens? Do you think the Yan family is willing to let the helmsman fight to the death with a powerful enemy just for a dead person? It's okay to be angry for a while."
Yu Jianyue raised his wine pot and laughed: "Life is like a dream!"
The disparity of worldly affairs gave He Xiaoqi a great shock to his soul. As a colonel on the front line, he did not need to consider these things.
Jiang He put down the newspaper, and the only one or two taels of gold appeared in his hand. This was the money that Yu Jianyue borrowed to buy clothes.
As the source gold liquid was absorbed by his body, the speed of his solar breathing practice increased by 1%, and this effect would last for a whole day.
When the source liquid entered his body, Jiang He keenly felt that his internal organs had become a little stiffer, like the source stone.
"The daily limit is one hundred taels of source gold."
"Petrification can be restored naturally, and it takes about a day."
"But Originium is also a supernatural factor."
Jiang He activated the power of gluttony and the petrification disappeared immediately.
This means that he can use source gold without limit, and as long as he has money, he can achieve a hundred times the speed of cultivation.
"It's simply a human-shaped gold-eating beast." Jiang He thought to himself.
……
The land of eternal darkness, the fortress of eternity.
Duke Merrick stood in the castle, secretly heartbroken as he watched the once prosperous fortress become a dead city.
On the wall next to it, a large portrait of someone replaced the famous painting, filled with venting curses such as "You may not die well", "Give me back the fortress", and "I will kill you".
Because of the high-level divination shield of the evil hunter, Duke Merrick has completely lost track of his enemy since he left the fortress, and can only issue a huge reward.
"Duke, a letter from the human Yan family."
The deputy warden knocked on the door and came in, handing over a letter.
"There is no shortage of trustworthy people among the human race, hum... there are more shameless people. After cooperating with them several times, the Yan family must have some information."
Duke Merrick opened the letter and saw that it was a declaration of war.
"Hi~"
"what's the situation."
Duke Merrick opened his eyes wide as he browsed the content. The super genius of the Yan family died at the hands of the Duke of the Blood Clan, and an impressive thorn spell was detected at the scene.
"So the murderer is... me?"
"It is a joke in the world, but I am innocent."
The deputy warden asked in a low voice: "My Lord Duke, do you want to fight?"
"No." Duke Merrick waved his hand. "If I go, Old Man Yan will be embarrassed. He knows it was not my fault. I will not disappoint people with my compensation for the loss of face."
