Killer Queen: Tyrant, prepare to die!

Chapter 82 One Man Rules the Martial World! The Old Eunuch Cripples the Assassins, Night Phoenix Uses Poison to Gather the Remaining Troops

It was the third day after the five heads were sent out.

The martial arts world was in an uproar.

The remaining members of the "Seven Fiends of Jiangnan" plus the personal disciple of the Poisonous Medicine King.

Overnight.

Total annihilation.

He died in the plum blossom grove of Qihuang Garden.

The manner of his death... is said to be very gruesome.

"I heard they were all stabbed, one by one, their throats slit!"

"No! My second uncle works in the government office. He said that during the autopsies, they found that some people were poisoned, some had their necks broken, and one was nailed to a tree..."

"Just who exactly is Ye Huang?!"

"I don't know. I just know she's a widow with a child, and she runs a fabric business..."

The people in the martial arts world looked at each other in bewilderment.

A widow.

He killed five renowned assassins?

Who believes?

But the severed head was right there with Liu Chengming.

You have to believe it whether you want to or not.

---

Wanghu Tower.

Liu Chengming did not leave his house for three days.

He sat in the dark room.

All the information about Ye Huang that could be found was laid out in front of him.

Three thin pages.

"Night Phoenix, female, approximately twenty years old. She claims to be a widow who returned from overseas, with a young child."

"Industry: Jinxiufang (Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou). Suspected of possessing new loom technology."

"Relationship: He has a past connection with the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion (he possesses the mansion's token) and has ties with Shen Anbang (Shen once recommended him as his 'advisor')."

"Suspicious points: There is a mysterious old servant by his side (suspected to be a master), and the biological father of his offspring is unknown."

that's it.

Gone.

A person who seemed to appear out of nowhere.

There is no past.

It has no origin.

Yet those who dared to kill him.

They even dared to send the head back.

"Good..." Liu Chengming crumpled the paper, his eyes bloodshot. "Very good..."

He suddenly laughed.

His laughter was contorted.

"Since even second-rate assassins can't do anything to you..."

He turned around.

He said to the shadowy figure, "Go to the northern desert. Ask 'Two Wolves' for help."

A hesitant voice came from the shadows: "Young master, the 'Northern Desert Twin Wolves' are asking for an extremely high price, and... they only accept death orders."

"Then it's a death sentence," Liu Chengming said coldly. "I want Ye Huang dead. Bring her body back."

"Yes."

---

Seven days later.

The 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month.

The day before Lunar New Year's Eve.

Two strangers arrived in Hangzhou.

One is tall and the other is short.

They were all wearing thick fur coats.

His face was hidden inside his hood.

Leading two tall, magnificent horses from the northern desert.

A curved sword hung on the horse's back.

The blade is curved.

The blood-drinking tank is very deep.

After entering the city, they went straight to Wanghu Tower.

"The person Young Master Liu wants," the tall man's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper grinding iron, "we've accepted."

Liu Chengming looked at them.

"how long?"

"Three days." The short man held up three fingers. "Three days later, bring me your head."

"Is it still alive?"

"Alive?" The two wolves exchanged a glance and smiled. "Alive... double the price."

"Then double it." Liu Chengming pushed over a stack of silver notes. "I want her alive. But I want her to suffer a fate worse than death."

The two wolves put away the silver notes.

"make a deal."

---

That night.

child time.

Outside Qihuang Garden.

Two dark figures silently scaled the wall.

It landed silently.

Like a real wolf.

"Split up and search," the tall man whispered. "Send a signal once you find it."

"Um."

The two separated.

Dive into the darkness.

---

Inside the park.

Main house.

Ye Huang was not asleep.

She sat under the lamp, fiddling with several medicinal herbs in her hands.

A book on poisons lay open on the table.

Next to it is ground medicine powder.

Various colors.

"Young lady," Eunuch Li appeared outside the window like a ghost, "you've arrived."

"How many?" Ye Huang asked without looking up.

"Two. From the northern desert, they smell of blood."

"skill?"

"They're stronger than the last five. Especially their lower body, it's very stable, they've trained hard skills."

Ye Huang nodded.

Close the poison sutra.

"Go ahead," she said. "Just stay alive."

Eunuch Li bowed.

Retreat into darkness.

---

East side of the garden.

The tall man was squatting behind the artificial hill.

The ears were pressed against the ground.

Listen for any sounds.

This is a method used by people in the northern deserts to track their prey.

Ground listening technique.

He heard—

There were faint footsteps to the west.

It's very light.

Like a cat.

"Found it." A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.

Get up.

They crept westward.

But he had only taken two steps.

An old voice suddenly came from behind:

"What are you looking for?"

The tall guy's hair stood on end!

He turned around abruptly!

Then he saw a hunched old eunuch standing three zhang behind him.

Carrying a lantern.

A dim, yellowish light.

Looking at his wrinkled face.

"Who are you?!" The tall man drew his sword.

"This old servant's surname is Li," said Eunuch Li slowly. "I am the...gatekeeper of this garden."

Gatekeeper?

The tall guy didn't believe it.

The person who can sneak up behind him without making a sound.

It could never be the doorman!

"Playing tricks!" he shouted, and swung his sword to strike!

Northern Desert Knife Technique.

Large and sweeping.

The blade's wind was fierce!

But Eunuch Li didn't move.

Until the blade was only three inches from his head.

He only raised his hand slightly.

Withered and thin fingers.

It flicked off the blade.

"clang--!"

A deafening explosion!

The tall man felt an immense force coming from the knife!

The tiger's mouth split open!

The scimitar slipped from his hand!

He was sent flying backwards!

It crashed heavily into the artificial hill!

"Pfft—" He spat out a mouthful of blood.

I looked up in horror!

"you……"

Eunuch Li, carrying a lantern, slowly walked over.

"A wolf from the northern desert comes to the south of the Yangtze River to run wild." He shook his head. "He doesn't know the rules."

Before he could finish speaking...

The short man suddenly appeared from the side!

He wasn't using a knife.

It's a claw.

Claws forged from refined iron.

They went straight for Eunuch Li's back!

"Watch out!" Mo Shisan, who was watching from the shadows, almost shouted out.

But it seems that Eunuch Li has eyes in the back of his head.

He gently turned his body to the side.

The iron claws grazed past his clothes.

then.

He grabbed it with his backhand.

He grabbed the shorter man's wrist.

"Click."

The wrist bone was fractured.

The short man let out a scream!

Eunuch Li took the opportunity to lead the way.

He was lifted up by the whole body.

It smashed into the tall guy who had just gotten up from the ground!

"Bang!"

The two collided.

He rolled to the ground.

Only then did Eunuch Li clap his hands.

Like dusting off.

"Do you have any other skills?" he asked.

The two wolves struggled to their feet.

They exchanged a glance.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes!

"Let's give it our all!"

The two pounced at the same time!

One attack on the upper side!

One attack to the bottom!

Perfect teamwork!

It's a desperate, all-or-nothing style of fighting!

Eunuch Li sighed.

"Stubborn and obstinate."

He moved.

This time.

It was moving so fast that we couldn't see it clearly.

Two crisp "snap" sounds were heard!

The two wolves froze simultaneously.

then.

He screamed and fell to the ground!

Their knees.

It's all broken.

"You...you crippled us?!" the tall man roared.

"I'll spare your lives," Eunuch Li said calmly. "It's Your Majesty's mercy."

He turned around.

He said to someone in the shadows, "Throw it out."

Mo Shisan came out with several guards.

Dragging two wolves.

Like dragging two dead dogs.

They dragged it to the entrance of the garden.

It was thrown out.

"If you dare come again," Eunuch Li stood inside the door, his voice icy, "next time it will be your neck that gets broken."

---

The next day.

The news spread far and wide.

"The Twin Wolves of the Northern Desert have fallen!"

"I heard that an old eunuch crippled his martial arts within ten moves!"

"Who is that old eunuch?!"

"I don't know! I just know it's someone close to Ye Huang!"

"Just how many experts are around Night Phoenix?!"

no one knows.

But one thing is certain—

From that day on.

On the road to Jiangnan.

No one dared to take on the job of killing Ye Huang anymore.

I wouldn't dare accept any amount of money.

---

Qihuang Garden.

dungeon.

The two wolves were chained together.

My knee is in excruciating pain.

His face was deathly pale.

The door opened.

Ye Huang walked in.

Dressed in plain clothes.

He was holding a tray in his hand.

There were two bowls of medicine on top.

"Drink it," she said, setting down the tray. "It's for pain relief."

The tall man gritted his teeth: "Kill me if you're going to! Don't pretend!"

"I won't kill you." Night Phoenix sat down. "I want to hire you."

"Hire?" The short man was stunned.

"Yes." Ye Huang looked at them. "One hundred taels of silver per month, including room and board. The task is simple—guard the garden and prevent Liu Chengming from sending anyone else."

The two wolves stared at each other.

unbelievable.

"Aren't you... afraid we'll turn against us?"

"I'm afraid." Ye Huang smiled. "So..."

She took two small porcelain bottles out of her sleeve.

Pour out two red pills.

"This is the 'Hundred-Day Heart-Eroding Powder.' After ingestion, an antidote must be taken every hundred days. Otherwise... the heart vessels will shatter, and death will be extremely painful."

She placed the pills on the tray.

Choose.

"Die in this dungeon."

"Or, take the medicine, get paid, and do the job."

The two wolves fell silent.

for a long time.

The tall man reached out his hand.

Pick up the pill.

Swallow it.

Short people should do the same.

Ye Huang nodded in satisfaction.

"The antidote will be given on time every month." She stood up. "As long as you behave yourselves, you will be completely cured in three years."

I walked to the door.

She turned around.

"Oh, right."

"How much money did Liu Chengming give you?"

"...Five hundred taels," the tall man said in a hoarse voice.

"gold?"

"No, silver."

Ye Huang smiled.

"He's so stingy."

"Follow me."

"We will not treat you unfairly."

---

Wanghu Tower.

Liu Chengming smashed the second set of teaware.

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

The "Seven Fiends of Jiangnan" were all wiped out.

"The Northern Desert Twin Wolves" were discontinued.

He even defected and became Ye Huang's bodyguard!

People in the martial arts world still talk about him now.

Everyone's laughing!

"Young Master Liu spent a fortune, only to end up with two bodyguards!"

"They even had to pay an extra five hundred taels!"

What a shame!

"Young master," the guard said cautiously, "now... no one dares to take orders anymore."

Liu Chengming was panting heavily.

His eyes were bloodshot.

He looked at Ye Huang's information on the table.

Those three thin pages of paper.

suddenly.

He smiled.

"Unable to trace its origin..."

"His skills are unpredictable..."

"Surrounded by countless experts..."

He muttered to himself.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

It was as if they had discovered some priceless treasure.

"Night Phoenix..."

"You are definitely not a widow."

"Who exactly are you...?"

He stood up.

I walked to the window.

Looking towards the direction of Qihuang Garden.

The anger in his eyes.

Gradually it turned into...

fanaticism.

"Wait."

"I definitely will."

"Uncover your secrets."

outside the window.

The night was dark.

Like his heart at this moment.

Bottomless.
