Chapter 267 Forced Confession (2)
No one knew what kind of poison Shen Xiangwan used, but everyone knew that her poison was too overbearing. Except for Wei Chengyi, everyone in the woodshed was shocked and trembling, especially the assassins, because they knew better than anyone that as long as the people in front of them did not confess honestly, that poison would soon be used on them.
"Ahh... I said, I said... please make them stop... ah..."
The assassin's sharp and shrill screams were endless, but Shen Xiangwan seemed not to hear them. He remained silent and indifferent, allowing his body, which was covered with blood and flesh, to swell rapidly. Seeing that he was about to swell into a ball, the other assassins were terrified and wanted to retreat further, but they sadly found that they had nowhere to retreat.
Wei Chengyi, who had remained silent the entire time, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The guards, led by Yuan Xiu, retreated behind them tacitly. To be honest, they were also quite scared.
“Pah pah pah!”
“Ahhh…”
Explosions rang out one after another. Shen Xiangwan didn't know when an umbrella appeared in his hand, blocking all the flying flesh and blood. The assassin was not dead yet, but his body was full of bloody holes.
“No, no…”
"Ahh...what do you want to know? I'm willing to tell you everything..."
“Kill me, kill me…”
Shen Xiangwan had an umbrella in his hand, but the assassins did not. This time, the exploding flesh and blood splashed almost all of them. Everything that happened before was too scary. Everyone couldn't help but roar, and their bodies trembled violently and uncontrollably.
Thinking that it was almost time to think about it, Shen Xiangwan waved his hand and said, "You can say it now. Remember, you only have one chance. I am happy to see your bodies explode into blood mist bit by bit."
Her voice was soft and gentle, without much fluctuation, but the words she said filled people with fear from the bottom of their hearts. At this moment, in their eyes, she was no different from a devil.
“Hmm…”
Although their bodies no longer swelled, they did not recover. Everyone was terrified and sobbed continuously.
"It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin..."
"No, no, I'll tell you now, I'll tell you now."
After waiting for a long time without them taking the initiative, Shen Xiangwan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a terrifying light reflected in his eyes. Everyone who was still frightened couldn't help but shudder, waving their hands and begging for mercy in fear. They were scared, they were really scared.
"explain!"
Too lazy to talk nonsense with them, Shen Xiangwan's voice sank, and his momentum suddenly became sharp.
“Yes, yes…”
Everyone shuddered again, and one of the men spoke tremblingly, "I'm a Dragon Shadow Guard. Ever since you were exiled, His Majesty has ordered us to send out several groups of troops to kill you. Each time, the leaders became more skilled, but without exception, they all failed. His Majesty was furious, but peasant uprisings broke out in Quanzhou, Binzhou, and Taizhou one after another, and we could no longer mobilize more people to assassinate you. After careful consideration, His Majesty offered a large sum of money to hire assassins from the Silver Moon Tower to assassinate you with us."
His Majesty has always hated the unruly people in the martial arts world. If he had not been forced into a desperate situation, he would not have allowed them to cooperate with Yinyue Tower. Unfortunately, they still underestimated them. This time they did not even directly attack Wei Chengyi, who was a martial arts master. Instead, they planned to kill the Wei family first and keep one or two alive to threaten him. Who would have thought that the most terrifying person in the Wei family was not Wei Chengyi, but his seemingly frail wife.
They were defeated because they knew nothing about the enemy. If they had known that Shen Xiangwan was so good at using poison, they would not have been defeated so miserably.
"oh?"
Isn't it because they killed the people from Silver Moon Tower that they cooperated with Dragon Shadow Guard in revenge?
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Xiangwan's eyes were filled with dark currents. After a moment, he continued to ask: "Come here, people from the Silver Moon Tower, why did you accept the commission from the Dog Emperor? Is it really just for the money?"
“Yes... No, it’s not...”
The assassins from the Silver Moon Tower who were named shuddered inwardly. One of them nodded reflexively and then immediately shook his head. Under her dangerous gaze, he hurriedly explained, "We did receive the emperor's commission, but others may not know it, but we do. Wei, Wei Chengyi is the disciple of the Jade-faced Old Monster Ji Shaohan. Killing him will definitely lead to a counterattack from the couple. We were still considering it, but some time ago, we suddenly received news that you, you killed someone from our Silver Moon Tower. If this matter gets out, how will people in the martial arts world view our Silver Moon Tower? For this reason, after discussion, we accepted the emperor's commission and sent two peak grandmasters to try to strangle Ji Shaohan and his wife together, but..."
But they never dreamed that Yun Mengyi had actually broken through to the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm. Even the three of them, the peak grandmasters, were unable to take her down in the first place, which gave Shen Xiangwan the opportunity to poison them all.
Sure enough, there was a reason why they killed the people from Yinyue Tower.
Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi exchanged a glance, then turned to ask the Dragon Shadow Guard, "How many of you came this time? Are they all here? What news did you gather? Have you reported it back to the Imperial City?"
This is the most important thing. They still need time to develop slowly and cannot let the dog emperor know that Chenzhou is almost in their hands.
"I, there are twenty of us here this time. I'm the only Grandmaster at the peak level, and the rest are either Junior Grandmasters or those who have reached the Innate Perfection stage. Originally, we planned to assassinate Wei Chengyi first, and then exterminate the entire Wei family. However, this time the Emperor has issued a death order, and we can't afford to fail again. So, after discussing with the people from Silver Moon Tower, we decided to exterminate the Wei family first, leaving only one or two alive to lure out Wei Chengyi..."
Having said this, the man couldn't continue. Until now, he still couldn't believe that they had been defeated so miserably.
"continue."
At some point, Shen Xiangwan's face became expressionless, and Wei Chengyi, who was sitting next to her, also had a frosty expression. These people really didn't intend to leave them any chance of survival!
“Yes, yes…”
He quickly raised his head to look at her, and then he had to lower his eyes and continued, "To avoid any mistakes, all the people were dispatched, and we didn't get any news that we shouldn't know."
In fact, they have already noticed that something is wrong in Chenzhou, and there is another person lurking in the prefectural city to investigate. As long as he realizes that something is wrong and passes the news back to the imperial city, the emperor will do his utmost to strangle Wei Chengyi. By then, no matter how powerful Shen Xiangwan's poison is, he will not be able to escape death.
