Chapter 18 Rare Treasure
Wu Chen attacked, his body as fast as a startled wild goose and as lightning, showing the majesty of a third-rank master.

On the other hand, Su Chen looked dull and stupid, like a wooden idiot. He seemed frightened and stood there in a daze.

"hehe!"

"It seems I'm overthinking it."

"My Lord Black Envoy, I'm afraid you have fallen into the hands of other palace masters. You are only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can you have any strength? Even if you have been practicing since your mother's womb, you can only be at the peak of the fifth rank..."

A hint of mockery flashed across Wu Chen's eyes.

however.

next moment.

boom!
Under Su Chen's black robe, golden light flashed for a moment, his muscles were tied, and his veins like steel and iron were visible. A terrifying blood flame burned on Su Chen's body and turned into a punch to meet the enemy.

"The Six-foot-tall Golden Body Technique?"

"And you have reached the peak of the fourth rank?"

Wu Chen's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

This is a first-grade martial art. The difficulty of practicing it is not comparable to the "Barbarian Bull Qi" in the Martial Arts Bureau. Without a hundred-year-old precious medicine, it would be difficult for Su Chen to even get started at his age.

But Su Chen not only succeeded in his cultivation, but also reached the peak of the fourth rank...

In other words.

If he had practiced the "Six-foot-tall Golden Body Technique" only after taking it from the Black-robed Envoy, he would have achieved such results in less than half a year. It is more than just a natural talent, it is simply a demon!
Bang!
The two figures collided together.

The blood flame disappeared completely.

Su Chen flew backwards like a broken sack and crashed heavily into the attic on the first floor of the library.

The gap between the peak third level and the peak fourth level is really too big.

"A useless person in the library?"

"If people like you are considered useless, then what are we, who only reached the peak of the fourth rank at the age of thirty or so, and only reached the end of the third rank at the age of fifty or sixty, considered useless?"

"But that's where you stop."

"With such talent, yet you betrayed the Holy Church, I can't sleep or eat unless I kill you."

Wu Chen walked over with a sneer.

He was sure that Su Chen would die from this blow.

A peak fourth-grade cultivator was as weak as an ant in front of an ordinary third-grade cultivator, not to mention a peak third-grade cultivator like him.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot is a fool."

Wu Chen smiled contemptuously and looked around the library, looking for any traces.

Next.

We should search this library carefully; the body must be hidden here.

All the eunuchs in the palace knew that Eunuch Su rarely left the library once a year. The library happened to be located in a remote area, so where else could he hide?

"In the medicine field!"

Wu Chen's eyes lit up, and he could tell at a glance that the medicinal field was obviously slightly higher than the floor tiles.

dig!
The whisk is used as a shovel.

The energy dances wildly, digging deeper and deeper.

A body was dug up.

"Huang Yi? Or the Black Envoy?"

No!

Keep digging!
There is a corpse!
Not yet!
As he dug, Wu Chen became horrified. There were actually dozens of corpses hidden in this small library. How could this eunuch Su, at such a young age, be so cruel and ruthless? How could he not take killing people for granted?

Not long after.

In the courtyard, corpses were piled up like a small mountain, emitting a foul stench.

Wu Chen felt vaguely dizzy, but didn't take it to heart.

"found it!"

After the last two bodies were dug out.

Dust-free ecstasy.

A corpse, as black as ink, still exuded a corrosive stench even after half a year. As soon as Wu Chen's hand touched it, he felt a sharp pain. There was actually still some poison left in the corpse.

How can it be!

Even a third-grade poison cannot be so toxic.

Wu Chen became more and more frightened.

After calculating the time, I felt more and more urgent.

At this moment.

Emperor Jianwu must have already finished talking with Zhang Gui, the director of the East Factory. Given how close Zhang Gui is to Su Chen, he will probably come to the library as soon as he leaves the Golden Palace.

"We have to hurry!"

Wu Chen grabbed Huang Yi's corpse, cut off the blood from his wrist, and muttered something, actually performing some secret searching method.

Not long after.

boom!
A red flame rose from Huang Yi's corpse.

"Huang Yi actually succeeded?"

"hateful!"

"She took back our Holy Religion's secret treasure from the royal family's treasury. Such an unprecedented achievement was actually lost here..."

Wu Chen was very upset.

Just now.

A faint voice sounded behind him. "Is this what you, Heiyuan, are looking for?"

"And it's all thanks to you."

"Otherwise, even if I touched the body that night, I wouldn't be able to find it. Is it hidden in the internal organs?"

boom!
Wu Chen's scalp felt numb and his hairs stood on end. A chill spread from top to bottom, enveloping his entire body.

Su Chen? !
He is not dead!
How can it be!

With that one strike, not to mention him being a peak fourth-grade warrior, even if there were ten or twenty peak fourth-grade warriors, they would all be killed instantly by him.

How is he still alive?

"Bastard!"

"In that case, I will kill you again!"

Wu Chen roared, the internal energy surged, and he waved his whisk, ready to attack a second time.

however.

The internal energy in his body disappeared as he moved.

boom!
He collapsed to the ground powerlessly, a hand pierced through his chest and grabbed the red flame in its hand.

How can it be?

poisoned.

when!
"The exotic flowers and plants in my yard are actually all poisonous. Each has its own merits. If you stay in my yard for more than one meal, the poison will immediately enter your heart veins..."

"So, I always live alone in the library and don't allow others to stay for long."

"You've destroyed all these flowers and plants right away. The toxicity has exploded by more than ten times."

"trouble!"

“It’s time to replant again.”

"Also, you dug up all the bodies and I had to bury them again, and there was one extra."

Su Chen retracted his arm and played with the red fire bead in his hand, which revealed its true appearance. It was a round bead the size of an egg, and a small black snake could be vaguely seen coiled and sleeping inside.

What is this stuff?
Su Chen was very curious.

"Give me back... the Holy Religion's secret treasure..."

Wu Chen stared at Su Chen with eyes wide open, and discovered that apart from the shock to his internal organs and a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, Su Chen was actually unharmed.

His face was as handsome as a jade, his eyes were like stars, his flesh was solid, his blood was surging, but his attack didn't even cause serious injuries.

Is this still the peak of the fourth rank?

If you say that he is at the same level as him, at the peak of the third rank, I'm afraid he would believe it.

“I’m actually seriously injured.”

"If you don't believe me, try hitting me again."

Su Chen said.

"Die!" Wu Chen attacked with a palm strike filled with hatred, squeezing out his life force in exchange for this final palm strike.

Bang!
Su Chen fought back with his fists, his blood burning, but he could not withstand the hateful attack of the third rank.

He was knocked flying.

He was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his breathing was weak, he looked so miserable.

then.

next moment.

Wu Chen widened his eyes.

What did he see?
I saw something in Su Chen's body, it seemed to be air, which moved around. The originally serious injury became much lighter in an instant, and then it moved around again, and it directly became a minor injury.

A handsome, smiling young man.

It should have been a beautiful scene, but in Wu Chen's eyes, it was an extremely terrifying scene.

"demon!"

"monster!"

"You...you are not a human..."

Wu Chen covered his pierced chest and kept backing away.

"Oh."

"you caught me."

Bang.

With one punch, Su Chen smashed his head.

then.

Su Chen was familiar with the process. He threw the dead second spy of Xuan into the medicine field, followed by the second and third bodies. Soon, the medicine field returned to its original state.

"Finally cleaned it up."

Su Chen didn't have time to wipe the sweat off his face.

In the courtyard.

A figure dressed in a fiery red dress with a spike of grass hanging around his waist walked in.

"Why did you pull out all the flowers and plants?"

"Again?"

Su Chen glanced sideways.
