The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 182 - Old Devil
Zing Yongxe shivered in place. The candle in the room died suddenly, then a bright blue flame appeared replacing the previous flame. He looked in all directions and found no one. The man intended to get out the door, his feelings were already bad. But what happened was not as expected.
Without movement, without sound, someone had been in front of him. Fused together in a dark shadow, a sharp eye gaze rained down on him. The man fell backwards, trying to get away as fast as he could. But the figure was getting closer to the end of their feet facing each other. Zing Yongxe looked up at the clear sight of the face.
Scary.
"A-you're Second Young Master Xin?!" He stuttered full of fear, then switched the conversation. "Isn't it rude to enter my room carelessly?"
"If we still play polite, people like Jiang Cho won't be in the Imperial Pillar."
Behind it like that he's dead flea. Zing Yongxe knew where this conversation was headed, his eyes widened. His body tried to retreat again.
"Can we talk about this all right?"
"You think," he's moving on to something else. "In addition to protecting, what was the sword created for?"
Perplexed, Zing Yongxe answered just that.
"Fight."
"Killing people like you, rather."
"Hey hey, let's talk about this. You must understand what I mean, right? You need the information? I can consider it on several conditions."
"First, I have a privilege. I think you understand this. I can judge you as well as that rubber bone pillar. With evidence and witnesses. If I don't get it from you, I'm looking for it from someone else."
Zing Yongxe looked worried, as if the possibility Xin Chen had said was true. Not guaranteeing any information about the Tenth Pillar seat only he and Jiang Cho would know. The man was sweating coldly. Along with the reduced temperature in the room, made his bones freeze.
"So, did you choose to live or give that information away unconditionally?"
Xin Chen unsheathed the sword in front of his neck, the male's murky eyes were terrified. He did not dare to move, even breathing in his seat. Zing Yongxe closed his eyes, expressing his unwillingness in the midst of a situation that could have taken his life.
"If I don't make the terms, then you're gonna get me involved in some weird shit. Most likely my name is smeared and I will lose this job. I can't accept that."
"You've accepted that since you started soiling your hands."
Xin Chen did not want to give up.
"If so I won't give you anything!"
Xin Chen started to be filled with anger. The spirit power started to make the entire room shake, some books fell off the shelves along with paper fluttering by the wind around Xin Chen. Zing Yongxe was shriveled, not caring about what happened and started to smile cunningly.
"Young Master ..."
Zing Yongxe revealed a sinister smile afterwards.
"You think I'll give you this information for free?"
Xin Chen stopped with spirit power, realizing the ringing of the door behind him and dozens of bodyguards had been behind his back. He gasps. Never had time to react the three big men directly caught and tied him up, they were so fast. The others saved Zing Yongxe. The man swept away some dust on his clothes.
Looks like he's good at stalling until this bodyguard saves him. Zing Yongxe smiled in satisfaction. While carrying a fan in his left hand, he shook the object as a result of the sultry.
When everyone did not see him, Zing Yongxe used a small knife to slash the skin of his neck. Xin Chen who was being dragged into the palace had seen the incident just now.
"Two demons ...."
From inside the horse carriage Xin Chen could still hear the sound of laughter from the old man. He makes his heart and brain burn.

Sure enough, he would have to deal with a complicated matter if it was about Zing Yongxe. In a matter of less than an hour, this news had spread to the ears of the elites and nobles. Much to Xin Chen's surprise, there was a lot of exaggerating news such as Xin Chen stabbing Zing Yongxe's neck until it bled, the proof of writing on paper, the report said, and also one of the bodyguards was killed as a result of the Xin Chen attack.
The warning from Fu Hua is true. Zing Yongxe was not an enemy that could be considered the same as any other enemy. In just one morning, Xin Chen's name had been completely smeared and became the hottest topic on the market. How not, everyone also knew who Zing Yongxe was.
The man who had devoted his life to the Shang Empire, especially if it wasn't that. Never heard bad news about him, his life history is so good. There's never been a bad thing heard - and if anything, it's been silenced before it spread.
Xin Chen was brought into the palace hall where in front of there Emperor Qin had sat on his throne. Surprised, the news was true. And the second son of the Demon Sword had arrived at his palace.
By bringing bad news.
Emperor Qin did not want to be seen leaning anywhere. He's being firm. And then the door of the palace was opened and a man covered in blood staggered.
Zing Yongxe's state made Emperor Qin suddenly stand up, his face in disbelief and immediately turned to Xin Chen. Angry and want to ask for an explanation.
"Your Majesty ...! Uhuk-uhuk!"
Suddenly Zing Yongxe spewed blood so that the carpet in the palace was filled with his blood, he apologized while continuing his increasingly staggering path.
Xin Chen remembered very well, he left Zing Yongxe not that badly. Where could his sword touch Zing Yongxe's neck. And also up to his stomach also the blood was seeping.
The man began to dramatize, "Although Your Majesty, I have just been attacked by the second Young Master Xin!" He coughed harder and harder until he hit his chest, crying in pain.
Several bodyguards came to help Zing Yongxe stand up. Just as compassionate as Emperor Qin.
"Is that true, Xin Chen?"
Angered wrath took over the face of Emperor Qin. Simply looking at Zing Yongxe's current state, he already knew how bad his adviser's state was. Can not accept it even though the one who did it was the son of his own best friend. Because wrong is wrong.
The nobles and elites began to arrive fulfilling the call, watching Zing Yongxe's state with concerned faces. The man added with a bloody mouth.
"Blindly, he attacked the clan courtyard and killed our bodyguards. We have witnesses and evidence! Then he trespassed into my room, stabbed me in the neck and slashed some parts of my body!"
All shook their heads speechlessly, in disbelief Xin Chen could do that to a good man like Zing Yongxe.
Zing Yongxe walked over to His Majesty's seat.
"One of the lives has been lost because of his actions! We demand the appropriate punishment, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Qin was so serious about the matter this time, staring intently at Xin Chen before speaking.
"A defense?"
