The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 98 - The Mosquito that Never Kills
Qin Yujin prostrated herself again. This time his manner of speech was much more submissive, there was no fear on his face of Emperor Yin like before.
"If according to His Majesty I am useless, then eliminating me is useless. Even so I will continue to serve to the very last point of blood, in order to avenge all of His Majesty's sacrifices today, I vow to destroy the Shang Empire and take their seven Heavenly Heirlooms. That's my vow, cut off this hand if I turn my back on my own vows."
Compared to Qin Yujin's oath, Emperor Yin was interested in the one thing Qin Yujin had just said.
"Seven Heavenly Heirlooms? You know all the heirlooms?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. All that information is in my head. Eliminating me would not change anything, but there is useful information and other plans I'm preparing-"
"Stop that shit! We don't need anyone like you!" One of the commanders interrupted Qin Yujin's chatter, knowing that the crafty was seducing His Majesty to spare his life.
"Hold it there. I want to hear more about these seven Heavenly Heirlooms."
Qin Yujin was welcome to sit on the floor, her hands and neck were still chained as before. But his eyes were full of hope when he explained all his new plans.
"Five of the Seven Heavenly Heirlooms are now in the hands of the Second Son of the Demonic Sword. The rest is between the hands of his father or brother. My men have confirmed this and it's true."
The most powerful weapon to weaken Emperor Yin was only one.
Sky Heirloom.
The man dared to throw a war just for the sake of Heavenly Heritage. Imagining himself possessing those seven things, made him incomparable strong. And controlled the entire Empire's land to submit under his feet. Emperor Yin was so crazy about power.
"How could you think of defeating someone who had killed the Dark Dragon and even the Demon Sword? Before you can take your men down, that man will come to your base and cut off your head. That's my guarantee."
"That's why we need a tough backer." The sly smile on Qin Yujin's face was indeed very attractive in the current Qing Empire's destruction seconds. Emperor Yin had to restore the state as quickly as possible before the aggression began. The Shang Empire will certainly recover and wait for a stable state if indeed they want to wage a war of retaliation against the Qing Empire.
"Sturdy supporter?"
"We can cooperate with the Wei Empire on this. I can't explain my whole plan here, but I can assure you they'll lend us a hand. With the reward, our side must provide some tools and materials as their research source." Qin Yujin added a little, "And also some humans as experimental materials. It seems they're starting to lack human resources lately."
Emperor Yin spoke, "An attractive offer. You made sure a big profit for our side. That way, I'll let you live." The man walked towards the door, but before he left there was a threat implied in his sentence. "Of course, you can only live if you're useful to me."
Qin Yujin lowered her head.
At first glance, he looks ordinary. But behind that look the man grinned at the devil, vengeance will begin. He will live on two things; emperor Yin and vengeance.

The black fog that surrounded the headquarters of the Four Surveillance Units that had faded now returned thick. The few people left there to guard it were made to hang whenever a huge blow came a month when the war started in the Valley of the Gods.
The location of the headquarters of the Four Surveillance Units located in the Valley of the Gods was somewhat far from the location of the war, although within a relatively safe distance, great damage was almost to their cage. The gate of the headquarters had gifted the Fire of Eternity that they could not extinguish. Only when the war was over did the fire go out and stop eating the wood
Even so close to war, it is undeniable that the spirit power that protects the headquarters of the Four Surveillance Units saves the guards inside from the heat of the war. Before the war happened, actually Unit One had built a high fortress, the distance was quite far. And now the fortress has disappeared - like the fate of their main gate; it has been engulfed by the Fire of Eternity.
The guards of nearly twenty adult men were shocked by the sound of a trumpet being blown by one of their comrades guarding the tower. Warning someone's coming to base.
The entire contingent of guards gathered at the main gate that was being rebuilt. A look of hesitation was accompanied by tense faces, worried that the Qing Empire's soldiers had come to try to destroy the headquarters as they had already.
Every second it went so slow, everyone started to see the shadows of the group moving towards them, not just one or two people. It was even more crowded than the fifty. Almost three times their own number.
From the beginning their job was to defend the headquarters. The twenty-one people themselves were only the remains of those who survived. Because they had previously numbered two hundred more. And plus, the leader of the guards had died in the midst of the crisis in this valley. Long time no guests after the last fight that killed their comrades, they finally again threatened something else that is much more frightening.
This base is most likely to be taken over if they fall. While the request for sending new members to the headquarters has not been discussed until now.
Concerns were heightened when the mob was completely unaffected by the spirit power protecting the place. Compact, the entire guard raised a weapon ready to standby. This might be their last fight.
Archers hiding behind buildings began to attack. In a matter of seconds again that long-range attack would be stuck in the head of one of the enemies.
Sure enough, when the arrow shot rapidly forward a suspicious movement was seen there.
Amidst the mob, a horseman who had almost taken his life by a deadly shot widened his eyes wide. The pointed end of the arrow stopped right in front of his eyeball. For a moment he may be fantasizing about stopping.
Yet until the man accidentally knocked himself off the horse, he still survived. Only then did he realize that a figure in a black robe next to him was catching the arrow with one hand. Break the arrow and throw it to the ground.
"Do they think we are enemies? How dare the salted fish. Let me finish them off and sun them like real salted fish." Shui caught fire, he immediately came forward valiantly.
But only then did he step on a path of five arrows directly chasing his feet. Shui screamed and went back to hiding in the line.
"Ah, maybe sometime. Hehe."
