Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 157 Do What You Do Best

"I've long heard that Brother Zhao Zhen is quite skilled, and after seeing him at the inn just now, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

"Brother Yang, you flatter me. It's just a little trick, nothing serious."

"Brother Zhao is too modest. Those few Japanese devils were by no means weak, yet you were able to drive them away with just a cup of water."

With such skill, it's no wonder everyone says that Brother Zhao, you're probably unmatched among the younger generation.

"Brother Yang, your Illusionary Body Barrier is also quite remarkable. Once it is used, the person completely disappears without a trace."

Although I've learned similar methods of concealment, I'm truly ashamed in front of real experts.

……

Looking at Zhao Zhen, who was chatting and laughing with Yang Lie all the way ahead, Xu Xin behind him couldn't help but curl his lips in disgust.

"Brother Dong, did you hear that? Young Master Yang is practically praising Zhao Zhen to the skies."

"What? You don't accept it?"

Dong Chang smiled and glanced at Xu Xin.

"Zhao Zhen was able to kill countless high-ranking Japanese soldiers outside the Great Wall, and the Japanese could do nothing about him."

"Just this one thing, can you do it?"

"Tch, that's just his method, better suited for escaping. If I knew the Golden Escape Technique, I could easily fool those Japanese devils too!"

"It's not as easy as you think..."

Dong Chang shook his head, then stared intently at Zhao Zhen's retreating figure.

"The Battle of Cangshan and the Qinling Massacre, almost all the major events that have recently caused a great stir in the world of supernatural beings have his shadow in them."

I heard that the Hieiyama ninja on the Japanese side had already issued a kill order against him, claiming that they would cut off his head at all costs.

That was a force in no way inferior to our Tang Clan, yet so much time has passed, and Zhao Zhen is still alive and kicking, completely unharmed.

Xu Xin was slightly taken aback, then looked Zhao Zhen up and down with great interest.

"Now that you mention it, I feel like I'm becoming more and more interested in Zhao Zhen."

"Forget it, you're no match for them."

"How do you know I'm no match for him before we've even fought?"

"The way he threw the wine in the inn just now seemed ordinary, but there are many hidden tricks behind it."

Leaving aside other methods for the moment, just considering his cultivation level, it is far beyond our comprehension.

Xu Xin did not reply, but he did not take it to heart.

No matter how strong their life cultivation is, they wouldn't be foolish enough to confront the enemy head-on.

A qualified member of the Tang Clan should know that when an enemy sees you make a move, he is already half dead!
Just as Xu Xin was mentally simulating all the possible scenarios he might encounter if he were to assassinate Zhao Zhen, Yang Lie, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

"Here we are, right in front."

Following the direction Yang Lie pointed, Zhao Zhen also saw an ordinary wooden house.

The Tang Clan was located on a mountain. Unlike the Tang Clan Martial Arts School, which was built decades later, all the members of the Tang Clan lived in houses on the back mountain at this time.

Along the way, if Yang Lie hadn't intentionally introduced it, Zhao Zhen would have been completely unaware of the special nature of this place.

Because if someone who knew nothing about this came here, their first reaction would probably be that this is a desolate, uninhabited mountain.

In terms of concealing themselves, the Tang Sect can be said to have taken it to the extreme.

As soon as Zhao Zhen entered the wooden house, he saw a thin but unusually upright figure. The moment he saw this person, Zhao Zhen's pupils contracted sharply, and at the same time, every hair on his body stood on end.

The person in front of him seemed harmless at first glance, but Zhao Zhen's instincts, honed through countless assassination attempts, constantly reminded him just how dangerous this person was!

"Gatekeeper, the person has been brought here."

After seeing Yang Lie and the others clasp their fists at the figure, Zhao Zhen realized that this person was the current head of the Tang Clan.

"Yes, you've worked hard. Go and rest."

The Tang Clan leader waved his hand, signaling Yang Lie and the other two to leave first.

"Yes."

After Yang Lie and the other two left the room, Tang Clan Master slowly turned around and looked Zhao Zhen up and down with great interest using his only remaining eye.

"Junior Zhao Zhen greets Master Tang."

Zhao Zhen respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.

"Some time ago, someone offered a large sum of money to hire my Tang Clan to assassinate the Japanese ninja of Mount Hiei. Was that on your orders?"

Right from the start, the Tang Sect Master chose to get straight to the point without any unnecessary words.

"Yes."

Zhao Zhen nodded, not bothering to pretend in front of Tang Clan Leader, because he knew that in front of this top assassin, any lie would be almost meaningless.

"As far as I know, the ninja of Nabiyama have been trying to assassinate you for years?"

"Yes."

"Then what is your purpose in doing this? To make my Tang Clan a scapegoat and help you attract the attention of the Hieiyama ninja?"

"Master Tang, since you have investigated my affairs so thoroughly, you should also understand why I have become so sworn enemies with the ninjas of Mount Hiei, right?"

Seeing that the Tang Sect Master remained silent, Zhao Zhen continued, "..."

"With your perspective, you should understand that the Japanese have long coveted this land beneath our feet, and a full-scale war between us and the Japanese will break out sooner or later."

In a total war, you, Master Tang, should know better than I do the role that the Tang Clan can play.

If this group of ninjas from Mount Bihe, similar to the Tang Clan, were allowed to join the war, how many more heroes would perish at their hands?

"go on."

"Master Tang, I have never liked being passive, and I especially dislike waiting for someone to put a knife to my neck before I fight back."

Knowing full well that a war with the Japanese is inevitable in the future, I will use whatever means necessary to wipe them out completely, because their survival poses an immense threat to us.

Although I don't know why you, Master Tang, specifically wanted to see me, whether the Tang Clan accepts this mission or not, I will continue to fight these little devils until I die or they are completely annihilated!

Upon hearing this, the Tang Sect Master, who had been expressionless, gradually revealed a slightly sinister smile.

"I have to admit, you're just my type."

"Master Tang, you flatter me."

"Actually, when Mr. Zhao approached me some time ago, I had already agreed to take on this task."

The reason we specifically asked you to come over is so we can have you do what you do best.

"What I'm best at?" A look of confusion flashed across Zhao Zhen's face.

"You want me to be your bait?"
