Chapter 43

PS. Here's today's update, and I'm also taking the opportunity to promote the 515 Fan Festival on Qidian. Everyone has 8 votes, and voting also gives you Qidian coins. I humbly request your support and appreciation!

After midnight, before dawn, when people are most weary, a black figure, shrouded in the darkness, moved swiftly through the streets and alleys of the island, soon arriving at the residential area of high-ranking officials. He silently infiltrated the home of a senator.

This senator was named Claire, a fallen British nobleman with the title of Viscount. Unfortunately, his family had long since declined, and he had struggled greatly to secure his position and come to the island. Naturally, he had to be more greedy, otherwise, it would be a waste of his efforts.

However, what truly made Jiang Chen decide to kill him was not his greed, but his political stance, which was clearly marked by racial discrimination. He had participated in formulating several laws that were detrimental to the Chinese. Therefore, Jiang Chen had to kill him, and he had to be the first.

However, compared to assassinating ordinary Mongol soldiers, assassinating a high-ranking official like Claire was much more difficult. Especially for someone like Claire, who valued his wealth and life so much, he had several highly skilled bodyguards even in his home to ensure his safety.

However, this was not a significant problem for Jiang Chen. After all, he was someone who could move freely in and out of a camp of tens of thousands of Mongol soldiers. A few bodyguards could not possibly hinder his actions.

Silently infiltrating Claire's bedroom, he saw Claire sleeping soundly on the bed. Jiang Chen immediately sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the Broken Gold Sword appeared in his palm. Then, a cold, sharp sword light flashed, silently slicing through Claire's throat.

"Ugh......" The incredibly swift strike left Claire no time to even scream. He lost his life in his sleep.

Following this, Jiang Chen searched the bedroom, taking away all the wealth Claire had embezzled. As for the evidence of his crimes, he casually scattered it on Claire's body. Perhaps out of a sense of dark humor, he left his name at the scene:

Black-robed Asura!

Then, Jiang Chen silently left Claire's home and moved on to the next target. Dozens of times, dozens of people died by his sword. These people were guilty of crimes that deserved death, and Jiang Chen's allowing them to die in their sleep was already a special favor.

After eliminating another target, seeing the sky about to brighten, Jiang Chen knew it was time to stop. Just as he was about to leave, two patrolling guards unexpectedly discovered him and shouted in unison, "Who's there?!"

Sensing the intrusion, the two guards who had spotted Jiang Chen immediately attacked without hesitation, one on each side, in a coordinated assault. From their speed and strength, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, it was clear they were elite soldiers.

Jiang Chen, wrapped in black clothing, was shrouded in mystery. As the two attackers approached, he made no visible movement, yet they were struck as if by lightning, falling back several meters, clearly dead.

"Don't move!" The guards who heard the commotion rushed over and, seeing the scene, their faces changed dramatically. The intruder's strength clearly exceeded their expectations. They quickly drew their pistols and aimed them at Jiang Chen.

"Heh heh..." In response, Jiang Chen gave a cold, sinister laugh and slowly advanced. As a fourth-stage perfected ancient martial arts expert, he had great confidence in his abilities. While a dense barrage of gunfire might be a problem, the current situation was not enough to threaten him.

The guards, seeing this, all felt a jolt of fear. Although they did not know what cards this mysterious intruder held, his blatant disregard for the threat of firearms was alarming. They instinctively felt that this person was extremely dangerous!

"Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" The lead guard, unable to contain his fear, shouted louder and louder, finally losing control and screaming, "Don't let him get close, take him down, take him down!"

Following the guard captain's order, the three guards in front immediately fired their guns, bullets raining down on Jiang Chen.

At the moment they pulled the triggers, Jiang Chen suddenly accelerated, his body sliding in a strange arc, dodging the bullets and quickly rushing to one of the guards. He then punched the guard's chest with great force.

"Bang!" A dull sound echoed as the guard screamed and was thrown back, crashing into the wall and leaving a dent before sliding down, leaving a trail of blood on the wall and falling to the ground, lifeless.

Even without using his true qi, Jiang Chen's movements were incredibly fast, far surpassing the limits of ordinary humans. With two more powerful punches, the remaining two guards were also sent flying, hitting the ground and spitting out blood, clearly dead.

The guard captain and the remaining three guards were utterly terrified, almost unable to believe their eyes. At such a short distance and with such dense gunfire, the intruder had not been harmed at all. In the blink of an eye, three armed guards had been taken down, which was simply unbelievable!

Fear, intense fear, spread silently in the darkness as dawn approached. The large house seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe. As Jiang Chen slowly advanced, an invisible fear and oppression enveloped their hearts. Finally, the guard captain could not help but shout again, "Don't... don't come closer, take him down, take him down!"

Not just him, the remaining three guards also erupted in endless fear. They screamed almost madly, joining the guard captain in firing all the bullets in their guns at Jiang Chen. At this moment, their only thought was to kill Jiang Chen.

"You're not qualified to kill me." Jiang Chen sneered, his blood surging as he channeled his strength, moving with a reaction beyond human imagination. His figure darted swiftly, dodging the bullets with ease.

"How... how is this possible?" The guards, having emptied their magazines, were left speechless, their fear welling up uncontrollably. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

Run, run, run fast! At this moment, including the guard captain, the remaining guards had no intention of fighting to the death. Their only thought was to escape, to find a way to survive.

"Scared, are you?" In an instant, Jiang Chen's figure flashed, covering the distance of nearly ten meters in a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye. He struck with a powerful palm, the force like a tidal wave, sweeping out.

The guard captain, seeing this, quickly pulled a guard in front of him as a shield and turned to flee.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the three figures were instantly thrown back by Jiang Chen's powerful palm, crashing into the wall and falling to the ground, all dead.

The guard captain had already reached the front door and was about to open it when he felt a gust of wind, and a black figure appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"Can you escape from me?" The low, cold voice was Jiang Chen's death sentence. Then, a large hand, carrying immense force, struck down.

[The 515 Fan Festival is coming soon. I hope to continue to push for the 515 Red Packet List, and on May 15th, the red packet rain will reward readers and promote the work. Even a small amount is love, and I will definitely update well!]
