Chapter 225 Jing Ke assassinated Qin? You look like a snake to me!
The dragon clan's words and spirits are leveraging the power of the words and spirits of this world, which is what Gongsun Ce is doing now.
However, because it is a power that comes from analogy, Gongsun Ce can use it but does not know the specific principles.
For example, Gongsun Ce can lift an object, but that doesn’t mean Gongsun Ce knows why he can lift the object. It belongs to the category of being able to use it.
Once he leaves this world, Gongsun Ce may not still have this power.
Therefore, Gongsun Ce's research still needs to continue, but it is time to come out of seclusion. There is no point in continuing to stay in seclusion.
Moreover, according to Gongsun Ce's speculation, Jing Ke is coming soon. This is a big show and Gongsun Ce does not want to miss it.
Walking out of the secret room, Gongsun Ce saw a pair of brothers in distress.
Xiao Mimi and Wushuang Gui were squatting in front of Gongsun Yan and letting Gongsun Yan put on makeup for them.
Gongsun Yan evenly applied rouge on Xiao Mimi's tiger face and Wushuang Gui's rough face.
"Ah, this?" Gongsun Ce lit a candle for Xiao Mimi and Wushuang Gui in his heart, and then Gongsun Ce grabbed Gongsun Yan's collar and dragged her away, "Let's go and see if your martial arts have improved. Stop causing trouble for the tigress."
Gongsun Yan's mischief also made Gongsun Ce realize one thing, Xiao Mimi is already old, if he doesn't give this bully a chance to live, she might be buried in a few years.
Xianyin and Qiao Xiaolong, who were raised as pets, were now about the same size as Gongsun Yan's waist.
If they were released into the wild, they would be able to dominate the area.
However, since one of them is a hybrid born by a ewe and the other is a viper, they don't have to worry about their lifespan. Little Mimi is really envious.
Gongsun Ce carried Gongsun Yan all the way through the backyard and came to the newly built martial arts field further back.
"Let me go! Let me go! I can walk by myself!"
Gongsun Ce held Gongsun Yan in one hand and walked forward with her easily. No matter how Gongsun Yan slapped Gongsun Ce's arm, she could not make Gongsun Ce let go of her.
Not long after, Gongsun Ce came to the martial arts field. Gongsun Ce put Gongsun Yan down, then he raised his hand and grasped the weapon rack in the air. The next moment, two wooden swords fell into Gongsun Ce's hands.
"Next." Gongsun Ce threw the wooden sword to Gongsun Yan, "Attack me."
Gongsun Yan took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
She moved her body and shouted, "Across the four directions!"
Then, the wooden sword in his hand turned into a sharp arc and attacked Gongsun Ce.
This sword contains four hundred and forty-six kinds of changes, and the tip of the sword points with great momentum.
However, in Gongsun Ce's eyes, although this sword was powerful, the flaws in it were as clearly visible as stars.
Gongsun Ce smiled slightly and gently raised the wooden sword in his hand.
This move may seem simple, but it actually contains infinite ingenuity.
Gongsun Yan only felt an irresistible force coming, and the wooden sword in his hand instantly slipped out of his hand, spinning backwards.
Gongsun Yan's body froze, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She didn't expect that even though she thought she had cultivated the art of crossing all directions to a certain level, she would be so vulnerable in front of Gongsun Ce.
Gongsun Ce walked up to Gongsun Yan and tapped him lightly on the shoulder with the wooden sword in his hand.
He said in a gentle tone, "Next time, don't use the sword technique. You are not suitable for this kind of sword technique now. Just use the basic sword technique to attack."
Gongsun Yan nodded and picked up the wooden sword on the ground.
This time, she abandoned those complicated sword techniques and only used the most basic sword skills to attack Gongsun Ce.
Stab, chop, point, poke, pick, collapse, cut, chop, wipe, cut, cloud, hang, frame, press...
Every movement was standard and powerful, revealing Gongsun Yan's solid foundation in swordsmanship.
Gongsun Ce watched Gongsun Yan's performance and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
He knew that although Gongsun Yan had an impatient personality, he had a solid foundation in swordsmanship, which was exactly what he admired about Gongsun Yan.
"Very good." Gongsun Ce nodded. "Your foundation is good, but you are not suitable for learning advanced swordsmanship. You know, a tall building is built on the ground, and if the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake.
If you deepen your basic training, I will teach you the three unique skills of wind, cloud, rain and indeterminateness."
Gongsun Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he saw hope for his future.
She couldn't wait to ask, "Really? Are you really going to teach me Wind, Cloud, Rain, and the Three Unpredictable Skills?"
"of course."
Gongsun Yan had heard Gongsun Ce mention that Wind, Cloud, Rain and Uncertainty were the most powerful martial arts Gongsun Ce currently possessed, so Gongsun Yan naturally yearned for it.
"Great." Gongsun Yan cheered, then she rolled her eyes and put her arm around Gongsun Ce in a coquettish tone, "So what's my reward?"
"I want a playmate, how about you and my mom have one?"
"Little girl." Gongsun Ce poked Gongsun Yan's forehead unhappily, "I can't remember such things, but if you just want a playmate, I do have a goal here.
But, let me make it clear, she is different from you, don't play wrestling games with her, her health is not good."
"It's boring." Gongsun Yan curled his lips, "How can I play games when I'm not in good health?"
"Okay, after Wei's Daliang is destroyed, I'll catch you another one. This one is tough, but not as tough as you, so you have to be careful."
Gongsun Ce was well aware of the terrifying muscles hidden beneath Gongsun Yan's seemingly slender figure.
Even if you don't use it often, possessing this Word Spirit means that your body will bear a high load.
Gongsun Yan has drunk a lot of goat's milk and cow's milk and chewed a lot of fish bones and prawns over the years. With adequate nutrition and without the need for additional calcium supplements, Gongsun Yan's physique is quite strong.
At this time in the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng had already received the letter from the State of Chu, and he also knew that the State of Chu was about to send Jing Ke as an envoy.
So Ying Zheng was outside Gongsun Li Ji's bedroom at this moment. He looked at Gongsun Li Ji who was peaceful in the bedroom and felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
"The State of Chu is about to send Jing Ke as an envoy to my Xianyang Palace. He should be here to assassinate me. Perhaps after he arrives, you and him will be separated forever."
Ying Zheng finished speaking at this moment, and then he left the palace without any delay. He returned to Zhangtai Palace to continue handling government affairs.
Gongsun Li Ji's emotions were fluctuating in the bedroom. She was ready to die with Jing Ke.
But Gongsun Li Ji didn't know that the palace maids around her were all third-rate, and the senior palace maid was even second-rate.
This power was to prevent her from committing suicide suddenly. Ying Zheng disdained to use force, and there was no need to use force.
Otherwise, he would have drugged Gongsun Li Ji long ago, and maybe both of them had a child.
In Ying Zheng's heart, Jing Ke will definitely die, and Gongsun Li Ji will definitely let it go.
In Ying Zheng's harem, there was no shortage of women who hated him for losing their country, and there was no shortage of women who hated him for killing his relatives.
Ying Zheng knew that time was enough to smooth out everything.
Gongsun Li Ji brought more spiritual satisfaction to Ying Zheng, which was stronger than any other satisfaction.
Time passed in a flash, and ten days later, Jing Ke arrived as expected.
Gongsun Ce arrived at Zhangtai Palace in advance, while Ying Zheng was still preparing.
"Azheng."
"Mr. Gongsun."
"Next." Gongsun Ce handed the staff and long sword made of the bones of the Basilisk snake to Ying Zheng. "The staff gives the human the characteristics of a snake, and the long sword is designed to kill snakes. It's a safety measure."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Ying Zheng then patted the Qin King Sword on his waist, "I have it enough."
Gongsun Ce was speechless when he saw the 1.6-meter-tall Qin Wang Sword.
"A Zheng, how long do you think it will take to pull out the Qin King's sword?"
"Of course it's easy to catch." Ying Zheng pulled out the Qin King's Sword, and then his expression paused. With his arm span, he didn't pull out the sword immediately. "This is a mistake."
Then Ying Zheng grasped the scabbard and hilt, threw the scabbard forward, the scabbard was thrown away, and the King of Qin's Sword was officially unsheathed.
"Think about it, how long did it take you to draw the sword?"
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, put the Qin King's Sword back into its sheath, took the snake bone scepter and the snake bone sword, and saluted Gongsun Ce.
"Thank you sir for the reminder."
Gongsun Ce shrugged his shoulders, and his figure flashed and disappeared in front of Ying Zheng.
Not long after, Gongsun Ce came to the beam of Xingle Palace, quietly waiting for the show to begin.
As envoys of the State of Chu, Jing Ke and Ji Bu embarked on a journey to the State of Qin.
Jing Ke had mixed feelings at this time, but his determination to die became stronger.
Ji Bu came as an official envoy. After all, Jing Ke didn't know the rules, so he didn't need to know the rules.
Besides this, Ji Bu had some other little ideas. He had outstanding martial arts skills and he intended to take Jing Ke away with him after Jing Ke failed.
Their mission was to offer the thirty cities promised by the King of Chu in exchange for Qin stopping its invasion of Chu.
However, Jing Ke's trip also concealed a shocking plan - to assassinate Qin Shi Huang.
Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was prosperous and solemn. In the Xingle Palace, on the black-paved palace, King Ying Zheng of Qin sat high on the throne, his eyes as sharp as torches, examining all the officials under his palace.
All the officials of Qin State knew that the envoys from Chu State came this time to cede land and seek peace.
However, no one except Changping Jun knew that this was an assassination attempt against Ying Zheng.
Jing Ke and Ji Bu, both dressed in the official uniforms of the State of Chu and with solemn expressions, walked through the officials and came to the steps under the throne of King Ying Zheng.
Jing Ke held a thick map in his hand, which was the detailed layout of the city presented by the King of Chu.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement and nervousness, and said loudly: "Greetings, King Qin, this is the map of the city presented by my King of Chu. I hope King Qin can check it."
Ying Zheng's gaze stayed on Jing Ke for a moment, and then he motioned Zhao Gao beside him to step forward.
Zhao Gao, as an eunuch of the Qin State, was loyal to the King of Qin. He walked up to Jing Ke and wanted to take the map.
However, Jing Ke shook his head firmly and said, "This is a serious matter and cannot be entrusted to others."
Seeing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Jing Ke, come up."
Jing Ke took a deep breath and walked up the stairs with firm steps.
At this time, Jing Ke noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in Ying Zheng's wide sleeves, but in Jing Ke's heart, this was not important.
Hidden in Ying Zheng's sleeves were the snake bone sword and the snake bone scepter, which were the weapons he prepared to use to confront Jing Ke head-on.
At this time, Zhao Gao, who had returned to Ying Zheng's side, was lowering his head and keeping silent. Zhao Gao hid his hands in his sleeves, silently accumulating strength, waiting to rescue him at any time.
Jing Ke came in front of Ying Zheng and slowly unfolded the map.
On the map, the cities of Chu are clearly visible, and the terrain is marked on it...
However, at the end of this scroll, there is a famous sword hiding with a cold glow - Yuchang.
Ying Zheng glanced at the map but found nothing unusual. However, at this moment, Jing Ke suddenly took out the Yuchang sword and stabbed Ying Zheng with lightning speed.
This sword embodied all of Jing Ke's courage and determination, and was bound to kill Ying Zheng with one blow.
However, Ying Zheng was no ordinary person.
It is true that Jing Ke is a master, but after years of practicing martial arts, Ying Zheng has also reached the level of a half-step master.
Jing Ke did not use his master's intention or his specialty swordsmanship, so the hasty attack he launched was not fatal to Ying Zheng.
He had long anticipated that there must be something fishy about Jing Ke's trip, so he hid a snake bone sword in his hand.
At this moment, when he saw Jing Ke drawing his sword, he immediately swung the snake bone sword in his hand to block the Yuchang sword.
The two swords collided, making a crisp metallic collision sound that echoed in Xingle Palace.
When Jing Ke saw that his attack missed, he was secretly shocked.
He knew that Ying Zheng was not an easy person to deal with.
However, he did not give up, but prepared to use his unique skill - the five-step killing move.
This is an extremely powerful sword technique that can kill the enemy within just five steps.
However, just when Jing Ke was about to perform the five-step killing move, Ying Zheng's left hand suddenly hit Jing Ke's heart with the snake bone scepter.
The force of this blow was so great that Jing Ke was sent flying several feet away. Jing Ke fell to the ground, spitting blood, and was obviously slightly injured.
"I see you as a snake."
At this moment, Jing Ke only felt that something seemed to have changed in his body.
"How is this possible? What kind of witchcraft is this?"
Then Jing Ke's legs turned into a snake's tail, and the attributes of the snake were given to Jing Ke by the scepter.
Then Ying Zheng slowly walked down the steps and came in front of Jing Ke.
"I am the Son of Heaven, so naturally my words are followed by the law. How can a mere assassin hurt me?"
“Hahahahahaha…” Just as Ying Zheng was about to cut Jing Ke into pieces, Jing Ke suddenly burst into laughter, “Zhao Zheng, I’ll be waiting for you in the underworld!”
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and then he raised his sword and cut Jing Ke into five pieces.
At this time, Ji Bu saw that the situation was not good. He knew very well that he could not compete with the many masters of Qin State, let alone take Jing Ke away.
So, he used his extraordinary lightness skills and prepared to escape from Xingle Palace.
However, just as he jumped up, he saw a huge net falling from above his head, covering him tightly.
This net was controlled by the Luowang killers, who had been lying in ambush in the dark for a long time, waiting for this moment to come.
Ji Bu was trapped in the net and couldn't get out.
He struggled to free himself, but to no avail.
At this time, the Qin soldiers surrounded him and subdued him to the ground.
There was chaos in Xingle Palace.
The failure of Jing Ke and Ji Bu put the Chu delegation into a desperate situation.
But Ying Zheng knew that things were not over yet, and there were still great masters plotting in secret.
Just as Jing Ke fell in a pool of blood and Ji Bu was tied up tightly by Qin soldiers, the atmosphere in Xingle Palace had eased.
It's just a pity for Jing Ke. When his mind was wavering, he didn't use the master's intention. After today, no one will know what Jing Ke's master's intention was.
However, as the atmosphere gradually became relaxed, an old man of plain appearance quietly appeared. His steps were steady and powerful, as if each step carried a heavy weight.
The old man's name is Xiong San. He is a great master of the Chu State and one of the death warriors carefully trained by the Chu royal family.
After becoming a master, he was no longer a death warrior. After becoming a grand master, he became a guest of honor in the State of Chu.
He had been hiding quietly in the delegation, waiting for a suitable opportunity to fight for a glimmer of hope for the State of Chu.
At this time, he saw Jing Ke's failure and Ying Zheng's negligence, and he knew that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
Xiong San moved and pounced towards Ying Zheng like a ghost.
His speed was so fast that it was difficult to lock onto him. Although Ying Zheng was the King of Qin, he also felt a sense of crisis at this moment.
However, just as he was about to touch Ying Zheng, a figure suddenly jumped down from the beam and blocked him and Ying Zheng.
The owner of this figure was Gongsun Ce, who had been watching the show on the beam. Now that the great master of Chu State appeared, he naturally would not continue watching the show.
At this moment, he saw Xiong San's actions and jumped down without hesitation, standing in front of Ying Zheng.
Gongsun Ce stretched out his hands and accurately held Xiong San's hands.
All of Xiong San's skills are concentrated in his hands. His nails are long and sharp, like daggers.
If Ying Zheng was injured by his nails, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, Gongsun Ce's expression was calm. He held Xiong San's hands tightly and dissolved all his strength into nothingness.
Xiong San's face changed. He felt that after he released his true energy, it was like a drop in the ocean, absorbed by Gongsun Ce's palm and had no effect.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Gongsun Ce's strength was unfathomable, and with him by his side, he could feel completely at ease.
Gongsun Ce pushed with both hands, and a powerful force burst out from his palms, pushing Xiong San's body out fiercely.
Xiong San's body drew an arc in the air, and then fell heavily at the gate of Xingle Palace.
He struggled to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked down and saw that there was a large dent in his chest, obviously injured by Gongsun Ce's power.
A bitter smile appeared on Xiong San's face. He knew his plan had failed, but he did not regret it.
Xiong San shouted, "General Gongsun, since I have already failed, why not give me a quick death?"
Gongsun Ce was slightly stunned when he heard what Xiong San said.
He looked at the great master of the Chu State and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart.
He knew that Xiong San was a true warrior who would not live in disgrace even in the face of death.
He nodded, flew forward and stood in front of Xiong San.
"This general is giving you a chance to demonstrate what you have learned throughout your life. Show off your abilities. After today, you will no longer exist."
Seeing this, Xiong San showed a bitter smile on his face.
He barely suppressed his injuries, slammed the ground with both hands, and a powerful burst of true energy burst out instantly.
His figure seemed taller and taller in the true qi, and the aura of a grandmaster permeated the air.
His hands flew, and his palm power overflowed, attacking the major acupoints on Gongsun Ce's body.
He completely disregarded his own defenses and only wanted to demonstrate everything he had learned throughout his life in order to have a quick death.
Gongsun Ce looked at Xiong San's attack, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He moved his feet slightly, and his body seemed to merge with the wind.
His body was light and agile, and every move he made was just right to avoid Xiong San's palm power.
He was not in a hurry to fight back, but just quietly observed Xiong San's attack methods, looking for opportunities to defeat the enemy.
Although Xiong San's palm power was strong, he failed to hit Gongsun Ce every time.
His attacks became more and more fierce, but Gongsun Ce's movements became more and more flexible.
He seemed to have seen through Xiong San's attack methods and could easily avoid them every time.
After General Xiong San had demonstrated all he had learned in his life, Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and prepared to display his unique skills.
He clasped his hands together, and a powerful airflow began to gather around him.
"The wind sweeps across the ten directions, shaking the mountains and swamps!"
Gongsun Ce let out a low roar and pushed out with both hands.
The strong wind instantly condensed into a huge palm print, covering Xiong San's head.
Wherever the palm print passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.
When Xiong San saw this, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.
He knew that he couldn't avoid this attack no matter what.
He closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
However, the moment he closed his eyes, he felt a gentle force enveloping him.
He opened his eyes and saw that Gongsun Ce's palm print had stopped in front of him.
The strong wind raged around the palm print, but did not hurt him at all.
"I've changed my mind. You should make better use of this non-renewable resource."
It is difficult to become a grandmaster, but that does not mean it is impossible to achieve it. One needs to have sufficient talent and then rely on time to hone one's skills and understand the meaning of being a grandmaster.
It is not difficult to become a grandmaster in a few decades.
However, the Grand Master can only prolong his lifespan, but his lifespan is not as long as that of those who have reached the state of unity between man and nature.
Therefore, the Grand Master has a service life, and once the time is up, the Grand Master will not even have the chance to be returned to the factory for repairs.
Therefore, Gongsun Ce looked at Xiong San and suddenly had some ideas.
Xiong San can also be transformed into his dragon blood warrior, and Xiong San is already a grandmaster. Once he completes the transformation, his combat power will definitely surpass that of Bingzhu and others.
However, after saving Xiong San's life, Gongsun Ce did not immediately relax his vigilance.
He was well aware of the power of the Grand Master, and even though Xiong San was seriously injured, he could not take it lightly.
So, he quickly raised his hand, and an invisible airflow condensed at his fingertips. This was his intention as a grandmaster, which was enough to suppress Xiong San's intention as a grandmaster.
Gongsun Ce's fingertips gently touched Xiong San's chest, and a gentle yet firm force instantly surged into Xiong San's body.
His grandmaster's intention seeped into Xiong San's true qi like drizzle, slowly sealing it.
Xiong San felt a strong sense of restraint, as if his true energy was firmly locked by an invisible force and could no longer flow freely.
Then, Gongsun Ce took out a special iron chain from his sleeve. Although the iron chain looked ordinary, it was made of a rare black iron. It was extremely tough and could suppress the flow of internal force.
