You have a glib tongue!” The raspy laugh sounded out in a sinister fashion. “However, you probably don’t even know that you’ve already walked into your final resting place?”
Jiang Chen’s thoughts raced. Instinct told him that there seemed to be some truth to the other’s words.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s heart sank. The Ear of the Zephyr twitched slightly. There were two sets of footsteps quickly approaching from the east and west.
And, a frightening power was also contained behind these footsteps, a strength that didn’t pale in comparison to true qi masters!
Familiar, a feeling that became more and more familiar.
“It’s them!” Jiang Chen was startled.
Jiang Chen hadn’t seen the two ever since entering the Boundless Catacombs. Were they finally going to reveal themselves at this moment?
Long Yinye, Long Juxue!
The two heirs of the Duke of Soaring Dragon!
“Jiang Chen, you’re looking a bit bedraggled.” Long Yinye’s voice sounded from within a hundred meters to the east.
“Jiang Chen, I gave you a chance that day in the capital.” Long Juxue’s lofty tone belonged to one high on top. “You didn’t cherish it and decided to be my enemy.”
“We can only crush you if you move against my Soaring Dragon dukedom. Jiang Chen, face your death!”
The Long siblings echoed each other as they circulated their true qi with awe inspiring momentum. They were both true qi masters!
“Long siblings, my three subordinates have all been killed by Jiang Chen. I’ve decided to double the price for this transaction.”
The boss killer spoke with a leisurely voice.
Long Yinye’s tone was cold. “Xue Sha, don’t reach for more after getting what you want. The price we’ve given you is already double.”
“Yes, you’ve given us double, but my brothers have lost their lives. Some compensation is appropriate?” The boss continued to speak in a voice as diffident as the fleeting wind and clouds.
“Are you trying to break the contract?” Long Yinye’s voice lowered.
“The decision is yours. You can choose not to accept. I can give up this job. Not that I’m boasting for Jiang Chen, but as soon as I let up here, he is sure to escape like a slippery eel. You have no idea how much energy I’ve spent the past three days just to pin him down!”
Long Yinye and Long Juxue looked at each other, with Long Juxue finally nodding, “Alright, then we’ll do as you say. We’ll double the price again, but you cannot drag your heels when completing your work!”
“Drag my heels? Do I, Xue Sha, look like someone who takes money without doing work?”
As he spoke, he notched an arrow and sent it flying like a shooting star directly where Jiang Chen had hidden himself.
“Jiang Chen, die!”
“Kill him!”
