BXBX NOVEL Chapter 216 - What Would Happen If You Split Up
Chapter 216: What Would Happen If You Split Up
Su Wen received the Third Prince’s invitation once again when Xiang Feiyan went to court.
“Another tour of the residence! This fellow is quite interesting. Let’s see what he’s up to this time.”
Su Wen called Zhao Jin over and boarded the carriage, heading straight for the Third Prince’s residence.
Compared to the first time, this time, the welcome was a lot more low-key.
However, the Third Prince was still waiting at the door with a passionate expression.
“Mister Su! Haha, thank you for gracing us with your presence.”
The Third Prince welcomed Su Wen into the residence with a smile.
A banquet had already been prepared in the residence. When he entered, Su Wen saw a woman was also seated at the banquet.
Compared to the beautiful maid last time, this woman’s temperament was completely different.
Furthermore, her looks were even better.
After they sat down, the Third Prince smiled and said, “This is my sister-in-law, Ren Ning’er!”
The woman stood up and bowed. “Greetings, Mister Su.”
Su Wen returned the greeting with a smile and the three of them sat down.
After taking a seat, the Third Prince smiled and said, “I was in a hurry last time, thus I did not ask. May I know if you have come down to Great Chu because of the sect or because of personal reasons?”
Su Wen smiled. “Is there difference?”
“Of course not. I was merely in sighing in exclaimation that my Great Chu actually has such an extraordinary person like you. After you entered the country, my eldest sister has been truly pleased.”
Su Wen could tell that something was amiss.
This guy was going to get serious.
As expected, the Third Prince smiled and said, “Sir, you’re a smart person. I won’t beat around the bush with you. Now that we brothers and sisters are fighting for the throne, no one is willing to retreat, nor can we retreat! If you’re doing this for the sect, I guarantee you that I can do whatever my Eldest Sister has promised the Flame God Sect. I can even immediately get you to send my eldest son to the Flame God Sect to become a disciple.”
“If it’s just you, I can also promise you that whatever my sister can give you, I can match with it. You can marry my sister-in-law, Ren Ning’er. In the future, we will also be a family. I can promise you that if you want power, as long as I ascend to the throne, while I might not be able to discuss the position of Prime Minister, but you can choose the position of any Minister of the six departments.”
Su Wen picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip, but he did not say anything.
The Third Prince continued, “Let’s not talk about anything else. My elder sister is a woman, and ever since the founding of Great Chu, there has never been a woman who ascended the throne. With Mister assisting me, I’m 90% confident that I can succeed in seizing the throne! But if Mister keeps assisting my elder sister, no matter what, I’m afraid Father will waver in the end.”
“Taking a step back, Mister following my sister is ultimately not a long-term solution. Mister can’t be thinking of becoming a consort, right? If a man occupies such a title, I’m afraid it’ll be a joke.”
“Mister is only in his twenties, and my elder sister is already close to 40 years old. Even now, she is still beautiful and charming, but after 10 or 20 years, will Mister be willing to accompany her in bed?”
“Moreover, now that my elder sister has become the Great Chu Empress, I’m afraid her control over you will become even stricter. At that time, even if you wants to find someone else, it will be impossible.”
The Third Prince spoke calmly.
It had to be said that this fellow’s words were very reasonable.
He smiled and said, “No matter how you look at it, it’s more in your interest to cooperate with me. Do you think I’m right?”
Su Wen had to admit that if he really looked at it from a purely beneficial point of view, or rather, if he was a person from Great Chu…
The Third Prince’s suggestion was indeed attractive.
The problem was… Su Wen was a spy from Great Zhou!
Compared to the Third Prince, Xiang Feiyan was on a completely different level in terms of scheming and methods.
However, such people were easier to control.
If he were to help this smart Third Prince up… who knew how much effort he would have to put in to obtain benefits from this.
Su Wen raised his wine glass and took another sip.
“Your Highness, this Su appreciate your kindness. It’s just that I’ve been friends with Your Highness Feiyan for a long time. The friendship between us is definitely not what Your Highness thinks. Furthermore, I’m only the Eldest Princess’s guard, so I only wish to remain as one.” Su Wen rejected with a smile.
By the side, Ren Ning’er looked at Su Wen in surprise!
In her opinion, it was more reasonable for Su Wen to accept the Third Prince’s invitation.
The Third Prince looked at Su Wen for a long while before laughing. “Hahaha! I was too presumptuous! Come, come, Brother Su, let’s drink!”
The three of them drank more and more.
However, the Third Prince did not mention anything about recruiting him any longer.
Finally, the banquet ended… and Su Wen left.
The Third Prince did not send him off this time.
Obviously, he did not want to try to give him a good impression any more.
After watching Su Wen leave, Ren Ning’er said, “Brother-in-law, your methods are not working. Looks like the Eldest Princess is still the most charming!”
A trace of coldness appeared on the Third Prince’s face as he shook his head slightly and said, “It’s fine. If he doesn’t agree, then just ask him to die! In the wine he drank just now, I have already put a spiritual object, the Nine Sunflower Heavy Water. This thing is colorless and odorless, but it contains extremely heavy water energy. Even a 9th Grade Earth Rank martial artist is unable to withstand it. Furthermore, he is also a fire attribute martial artist. thus after the heavy water enters his body, it will quickly react. He is dead for sure!”
Ren Ning’er smiled and said, “Then what happens if he’s gifted or has extraordinary cultivation?”
The Third Prince said in a ruthless tone, “It’s fine if I don’t make a move, but since I’ve made a move, this person will definitely die! Don’t worry, I still have a backup plan!”
Su Wen sat in the carriage and closed his eyes!
He could already feel that something was wrong with his body. A large amount of Water Qi started to gush out from his stomach.
It constantly spread towards his body!
“Pssh…”
When the Holy Flames in his body collided with the water Qi, a large amount of steam appeared in his meridians.
“F*ck! I got tricked by that bastard! Brother Jin, leave quickly!” Su Wen said to Zhao Jin in a deep voice.
Su Wen never expected the Third Prince to have such an object.
He cultivated the Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra and had the Holy Vermilion Flames in his body, so he was basically immune to all poisons. However, he did not expect that the thing that the Third Prince had given him was not poison.
A large amount of water Qi continuously collided with Su Wen’s flame Qi in his body!
If not for Su Wen’s Vermilion Bird Glazed Body being so domineering, he could not have survived so long. An ordinary person would probably have long died.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a long arrow shot towards Su Wen’s carriage, carrying an extremely powerful force!
The long arrow shot straight into the carriage. Immediately after, more than ten men in black appeared in broad daylight!
“Kill!”
With a loud roar, they charged straight towards the carriage!
Zhao Jin drew his saber and jumped off the carriage, shouting, “Young master, hurry up and go home. Don’t worry about me!”
What he meant was for Su Wen to leave through the teleportation portal!
However, Zhao Jin knew very well that he would die in this exchange!
Zhao Jin’s bracelet fell to the ground as his beast arm reappeared!
He directly stood in front of the carriage, blocking off a round of attacks!
This was Zhao Jin’s only thought!
The attackers were all 8th and 9th Grade Earth Rank experts, and with just himself, there was no way he could win, and no way he could survive.
But Zhao Jin’s gaze was incomparably firm!
Just as he was about to crush the pill in his mouth and unleash his full strength, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was Su Wen!
“It’s not that time yet. Brother Jin, stay away from me, lest you get blasted to bits!”
Su Wen said in a solemn tone!
At this moment, Su Wen’s condition was extremely bad!
The Water Qi and Fire Qi in his body clashed continuously, causing his entire body to be in incomparable pain. Furthermore, he was unable to activate his True Qi at all.
“Young master!” Zhao Jin was rather worried.
“Trust me, retreat!” Su Wen shouted.
At this moment, someone had already rushed in front of Su Wen! He stabbed his sword straight at Su Wen without caring for anything else.
At the same time, on the roof far away, a person held a bow and nocked an arrow before shooting three arrows at Su Wen!
Bang!
In the face of all these attacks, something shocking happened. Su Wen punched the face of the person in front of him!
That speed, was too fast!
Furthermore, it was devoid of True Qi, just a simple punch!
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking could be heard.
The face of the 8th Grade Earth Rank assassin distorted grotesquely, as fresh blood spewed out.
It splattered all over Su Wen!
His skull had already been split apart, and the red blood and white brain matter flowed into Su Wen’s hand.
Pure physical strength.
The most primitive power!
So what if he didn’t have True Qi?
8th Grade Earth Rank, one move to kill!
At the same time, the three arrows shot out.
Su Wen grabbed the corpse in front of him and waved it!
All the arrows landed on the corpse.
Each arrow contained extremely powerful True Qi and pierced through the corpse in an instant.
However, just as the arrows about to pass through the corpse, Su Wen had already thrown the corpse away with the arrows.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared in shock at Su Wen who was akin to a God of War at this moment!
According to the Third Prince’s instructions, this person should not have such strength.
Zhao Jin had already dodged as instructed.
Su Wen shook the blood off his hand as a cold smile appeared on his face.
He muttered, “You bunch of bastards are really good! I’m in a very bad mood now! It f*cking hurts. Where did your master get such a water vapor thing? It’s really disgusting and frustrating. I’ll kill you guys to collect some interest first!”
Su Wen smiled sinisterly and cracked the joints in his neck.
The killing intent in his eyes intensified.
“Don’t be scared by him. This guy can’t even activate his True Qi! It’s just that his physical body is strong! If he’s far away, use your Qi to blast him!”
A 9th Grade Earth Rank expert shouted.
“Watch this!”
The man angrily brandished his blade and sent out a Blade Qi towards Su Wen!
Su Wen stomped on the ground in response.
Bang!
With a loud bang, he charged out.
At the same time, several attacks flew towards Su Wen!
Su Wen did not care about anyone else and directly charged towards the martial artist who was brandishing his saber and shooting out blade Qi continuously. He exerted strength from his feet and suddenly twisted. He had actually used Stellar Transposition without any True Qi!
Furthermore, with his physical strength, his speed was not slow at all!
He instantly dodged the Blade Qi wave and pointed out!
As for the 9th Grade Earth Rank expert, even though he saw Su Wen approaching, he was fearless!
He slashed at Su Wen’s head.
Splat!
Just as the steel blade was about to touch his body, Su Wen twisted his body and instinctively darted forward.
His finger stabbed straight into the man’s throat!
Su Wen forcefully pierced through his protective True Qi layer with brute strength.
In addition to its Qi blast, the Sunburst Spirit Finger was also excellent in its physical moves!
“Thank you, Wu Kunhu!”
This thought surfaced in Su Wen’s mind!
If it wasn’t for Wu Kunhu’s guidance, he would absolutely not have put in all his effort to bitterly cultivate his body and practice every single move.
Now, even though he had lost all his Qi, Su Wen still maintained his extremely powerful combat strength!
However, even if his fingers were inserted into the other party’s throat…
That person was still alive! At the same time, the other people’s attacks had already arrived. Su Wen’s lips curled up in response.
With a flick of his finger, he turned around!
Splat!
That person’s throat was forcefully torn off by Su Wen!
In such a scenario, even a 9th Grade Earth Rank expert would find it difficult to survive.
Zhao Jin hid at the side and did not idle. He stared at the person shooting from the roof in the distance.
He already had the Polymer Cannon assembled in his hand.
“Hmm… aim, yes… good baby… just stand there and shoot hard!” Zhao Jin muttered to himself.
“Go f**k your mother!”
Zhao Jin shouted as a blue light erupted from his hand!
“Crrrkt!”
Because the archer’s attention was completely focused on Su Wen, his head was pierced through!
At the same time, the Polymer Cannon in Brother Jin’s hand exploded!
Meanwhile, Su Wen was still engaged in an intense battle within the area.
After Su Wen killed two people in a row, these people started to become smarter!
They no longer stood on the spot and fought head-on with Su Wen. Instead, they tried to kite him around!
After all, Su Wen had lost his True Qi, so while his speed was still fast, it was not as frighteningly fast when compared to their own movements.
Furthermore, there was someone holding him back!
This was Su Wen’s first time using his physical strength and moves to fight against an enemy. Without much experience, Su Wen was caught by someone and the Qi wave directly landed on his body!
“Damn it!” Su Wen was already prepared to be cut down.
Ding!
A red crystal suddenly appeared on Su Wen’s back!
It forcefully helped Su Wen withstand this attack!
It was precisely Die Yi!
Su Wen suddenly recalled that this fellow could transform into armor…
“Die Yi, turn into armor mode!”
A red crystal covered the entire surface of Su Wen’s body!
In an instant, Su Wen was hidden under a fiery red armor from head to toe.
Even his face was covered by a red helm.
It was abnormally domineering! There was also a murderous aura reeking from the armor!
Su Wen did not dare to get injured easily now. With the fire and water Qi in his body clashing, and his True Qi would not be able to heal his injuries.
However, with the protection of Die Yi, he became even more excited!
“Bastard, die for this daddy!”
Su Wen charged at the enemy again!
This time, he realized that not only did his speed not decrease because of the armor’s weight, it even increased!
In addition, Su Wen discovered… F*ck, these 9th Grade Earth Rank b*st*rds couldn’t even break through the defense of the armor transformed from Die Yi!
He began to act even more brazenly.
Su Wen grabbed a person and raised him up high. With one hand grabbing his leg and the other grabbing his arm, he tore him into two!
Blood flowed down his head, and his armor turned even redder.
Su Wen completely ignored their attacks.
Their attacks landed on Su Wen’s body, but they were all blocked by the armor. There was no effect!
What was the point of fighting?
They could not break Su Wen’s defense, but if Su Wen hit them, they would die!
It was just like when a group of Level 1 un-equipped newbies went straight fight against a level 18 God..
Would they succeed?
There was only despair found!
“Run!”
It was unknown who was the first person who shouted before running…
But everyone suddenly turned around and ran.
They circulated their movement techniques to the maximum, afraid that Su Wen would chase after him.
However, Su Wen had no intention of pursuing them. The water and fire elemental energy in his body were still clashing frantically, causing him tremendous pain within his body.
He climbed onto the carriage and said to Zhao Jin, “Let’s go! We’ll return to the residence!”
Zhao Jin hurriedly came over and said with reverence in his eyes, “Young Master, you’re really f*cking terrifyingly strong! Even I’m afraid when I see you. This group of rascals still wants to plot against you, they’re really courting death!”
No matter what, he had to flatter him in time. That was his priority.
“And your armor, handsome! So handsome… I want to marry you after seeing it.”
“Scram!”
Zhao Jin flattered as he drove the carriage away.
When the officials arrived, there were only corpses and flesh left on the ground.
In the Third Prince’s residence, he was listening to his subordinate’s report with an ashen expression.
“You said that that person defeated you guys without using True Qi! You guys have five 9th Grade Earth Rank and six 8th Grade Earth Ranks!” He could not believe it!
He already placed enough importance on Su Wen, and had almost mobilized all the forces under him.
But the other party actually killed these people even though he plotted against him?
The 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivator wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. “Your Highness! That person is probably a Heaven Rank expert! He’s too strong. His physical strength alone is faster than us! OUr protective True Qii is like paper in front of him, and our brothers will die the moment he pokes his fingers in! Then, he wore a red armor. We couldn’t even cut through him if he stood still! How are we supposed to fight?”
The Third Prince was stunned.
“A Heaven Rank expert! That Su Daqiang is a Heaven Rank expert! What should I do? What should I do?” He panicked.
“Impossible! Father won’t let a Heaven Rank expert participate in the competition! He can’t be a Heaven Rank expert!”
“But even if he’s not a Heaven Rank expert, his battle prowess is no different from one, right?”
“No! I have to look for Father! No way either! Could it be that my assassination failed?”
The Third Prince fell into a dilemma.
“It’s fine… it’s fine… He doesn’t dare to do anything to me. No matter how high his cultivation is, he can’t directly attack me.” The Third Prince consoled himself.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. “If it’s this person… maybe he could have frame the eldest prince under the eyes of a Heaven Rank expert. If I go to my father… I won’t have any evidence! If I go now, I’ll be at a disadvantage!”
In the Eldest Princess’s residence, Su Wen sat cross-legged.
This was already the third day since he swallowed the Nine Sunflower Heavy Water.
This thing’s water vapor seemed endless.
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely explode.
It was fortunate that Su Wen’s Vermilion Bird Glazed Glass body was powerful and his True Qi was also extremely robust.
He forcefully dissolved the water vapor.
“Huuu!”
He finally opened his eyes.
Finally, it ended and everything returned to normal.
This incident also reminded him that not everything could be eaten just because one was immune to poison.
“Third Prince, well done. If I don’t prepare a gift for you, I’ll be letting you down.”
Su Wen left the chamber and Xiang Feiyan rushed over when she received the report.
“Are you alright now?” she asked with concern.
During this period of time, she was already used to having Su Wen by her side.
Su Wen nodded and asked, “How are things on your side?”
Xiang Feiyan smiled and said, “It’s really as you said. I participated in the memories of those who went to the palace to sit quietly and die. Father even locked them up! Daqiang, you really have a divine plan!”
Su Wen smiled. “Of course, look at who I am!”
Who was this Old Su that taught him these moves? Nope, never heard of him!
Xiang Feiyan’s expression turned solemn as she asked, “What do you plan to do with Third Brother?”
Su Wen took out a pill from his chest and said with a smile, “This is a Heaven Rank Sex Change Pill. It forcefully change your gender after consuming it…?”
Xiang Feiyan was in disbelief. There was such a pill in the world?
She looked shocked and covered her mouth. “Are you planning to turn him into a woman?”
Su Wen shook his head and sneered. “Hmph, it’s not that simple. What I’m thinking is, what will happen if I split this pill in half and eat it instead?”
“Ah!” Xiang Feiyan widened her eyes and took two steps back in fear..
