Chapter 72: Hundred faced poisoner.
“There’s poison in the envelope! Am I right, mister Du?”
Leng Qingcheng and Su Xiaomeng were stupefied by what Ye Xuan said.
How could there be poison inside the envelope?
Then they both glared at Du Leng and waited for him to answer.
Du Leng had no visible reaction as he still sat their leisurely and looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of surprise before he laughed and said, “I’m curious, how did you find out?”
-Clang!-
An invisible wind blew by and closed the café’s door.
The owner was also slowly walking toward them with an axe and an oppressive spread through the café that made Leng Qingcheng and Su Xiaomeng uncomfortable.
“It’s probably because your poisoning skill is too low level and I can see through it with one glance.”
Ye Xuan calmly said.
“Haha! My poisoning skill is too low level? Haha! Brat, you know what? This is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard!”
“No one has ever dared to say that my poisoning skill was low level, okay? Beside, you guys already poisoned! Hihi!”
Du Leng went from a smirk to a full flown laugh as he didn’t Ye Xuan seriously at all.
“I only wanted to lure this woman out before bringing her back with me but I didn’t expect her to bring you along! This really saved me a lot of time! Haha, the heaven on my side!”
Just as Du Leng said, Su Xiaomeng and Leng Qingcheng started to feel dizzy and felt their whole bodies lose strength as if their bodies were drained.
Only Ye Xuan didn’t feel any effect.
“Sister Qingcheng, what the hell is going? Isn’t he the detective you hired?”
Su Xiaomeng asked in panic.
“I don’t know.”
Leng Qingcheng replied weakly as she tried to keep herself awake.
“I’m afraid the detective she hired had already been killed by this guy. He only brought the skin with him, a skin mask!”
Ye Xuan’s calm explanation shocked greatly the two women.
“Hihi! I couldn’t see but your eyes are not bad. You’re right! That detective was killed by me!”
A cruel smile appeared on Du Leng’s face as he slowly peeled off the skin mask from his face. He revealed his sinister and wolf like face and shocked the two girls as they stared at him with eyes that were about to pop out.
This guy wasn’t a private detective but assassin from abroad. His name was the Hundred Face Poisoner, Nasak! (TLN: I wrote abroad but the author wrote ZI GUO, which mean own/self country and that doesn’t exist, he probably made it up like the other.)
“Hihi! I felt honored you could see my true face but those who saw my true face all end up dead!”
Nasak couldn’t help but smile and lick his lips when he saw the frightened Su Xiaomeng who squashed together her humongous chest before he declared in playful tone, “But seeing how beautiful the both of you are, I can have fun with you two before sending you two to death!”
“As for you, brat, I’m afraid you are not so lucky.”
Nasak cruelly said as pulled out a black desert eagle out of nowhere and pointed at Ye Xuan’s head.
“If I’m not wrong, you must be the Hundred Face Poisoner, Nasak! A silver rank assassin known for his use of poison and for killing Shadow County general’s family of five with poison as well as for being active in Western Shura World eastern border, Locke Venom City and a member of Locke’s Poison Guild. Am I right?”
Ye Xuan spoke calmly and slowly, and wasn’t one bit flustered by Nasak pointing a gun toward his head.
He had once been to Locke Venom City and knew a thing or two about Lock’s Poison Guild. After all, one of the eight gods under him, Thousand Faces Poison God was from Locke Venom City.
“Haha! It seems that you are knowledgeable enough to recognize me! It looks like I’m a bit famous in Huaxia, haha!”
Nasak laughed and felt proud when he heard Ye Xuan.
“But you’re still dying today!”
Nasak was about to press the trigger of desert eagle and shoot Ye Xuan.
“Haha! Do you know that even your guild master, that bastard Locke, don’t even dare to talk to me like that?”
Ye Xuan spoke up again and was totally calm.
“Hehe! Idiot! Don’t try to fool me! Do you think a person like guild master Locke would know a trash like you?” Nasak sneered.
-Swoosh-
However the next moment, Ye Xuan took a golden token from his pocket and threw it on the table in front of Nasak.
Nasak was absolutely stunned when he saw the appearance of the token Ye Xuan’s took out and lost the control of his pitch as he spoke.
“Cyan emperor edict, how it is possible!?”
Even the owner who was walking over with his axe, stopped for a moment.
The Cyan emperor edict was a token issued to the most trusted servant of the Cyan emperor, who was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Western Shura World, and gave them power and status as it meant that people must treat them as if they were the Cyan Emperor himself. It was one of most respected token in the Western Shura World and very few could get their hands on it.
But Nasak never imagined that Ye Xuan would have one and it scared him silly.
This Cyan Emperor edict was made by Ye Xuan during his shift at the hospital. He didn’t expect he would have to use it in this in this situation.
“Seeing this edict is like seeing the Cyan Emperor himself! Quickly kneel down for me!”
Ye Xuan said in a solemn tone as a majestic aura spread out from his body.
-Plop!-
Nasak’s body trembled in fear as his knee went soft before kneeled down to Ye Xuan under the two girl’s dumbfounded gaze.
“Nasak has seen the Lord! I offended the Lord, please forgive me!”
Nasak respectfully pleaded.
The owner was unmoved by this as he clutched his axe tightly and stared grimly at Ye Xuan.
-Tss, tss-
Ye Xuan was still as calm as Nasak lowered his gun but he suddenly a chill behind him due to the owner charging furiously at him.
Ye Xuan reacted quickly and dodged sideway to avoid the axe chop that struck the coffee table instead and smashed it pieces.
“What are you doing? Are you looking for death?”
Ye Xuan coldly said as he held the edict in his hand.
“What do I mean? Brat, you may able to fool that brainless Nasak but you can’t fool me!”
The owner disdainfully said as he contemptuously stared at Ye Xuan.
“Haha! Nasak, look at your hopeless self! This is just a Cyan Emperor edict. Did you forget who sent us?”
His name was Narok and was Nasak elder brother. He wasn’t as famous as Nasak but he has always been hiding behind Nasak and could be considered the mastermind behind Nasak.
“You’re right, the mission was sent by the Lord under the Cyan Emperor!”
Nasak said in realization and stood back up after hearing Narok’s words.
“Brat, you thought we were easy to fool? I don’t know where you got that token but that token has no use against us because the Lord under the Cyan Emperor personally sent us!”
“And I almost forgot that you are that trash that got kicked out from the Ye family and was in a coma for three years. There is no way you would know the Lord from the Western Shura World! You almost fooled me.”
Ye Xuan’s expression turned unsightly for a bit as he didn’t expect that the first time he used the edict would turn out like this.
Ye Xuan was able to glean some information from these guys words.
These guys were sent by the experts under the Cyan Emperor. Did it mean that the Cyan Emperor had it eyes on Leng Qingcheng and that her parents’ death had something to do with him?
The Cyan Emperor was one of the Three Sovereign and Five Emperor of the Western Shura World. The reason Ye Xuan fell was not only because he was betrayed, but he also got attacked by other four emperors and the Cyan Emperor was amongst them!
The hatred between the two of them was as deep as the ocean!
Ye Xuan thought of many things at this moment.
“What it is, brat? Your lies have been exposed and now you’re speechless?”
Narok scornfully said as he grabbed his axe.
“It’s about time, the fact that you could stand until now meant that you had a great endurance but the poison will soon take care of you.”
“Shit, don’t waste your breath on him! You dared to fool me!? Look how I’m going kill you!”
Nasak angrily yelled as he was furious at how he was played by Ye Xuan earlier.
-Bang!-
Then he aimed the desert eagle in his hand at Ye Xuan and pulled the trigger!
The bullet went straight toward Ye Xuan with killing intent behind it and caused his expression to turn serious.
After all, he still didn’t have the strength to block the bullet empty handed.
“Ye Xuan be careful!”
Su Xiaomeng shouted with all her strength in warning as she and Leng Qingcheng were paralyzed in their seats.
-Swoosh!-
Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed with coldness at the incoming bullet as his body moved with agility like a monkey and rolled backward multiple times until he hid behind a couch.
Nasak was a bit surprise that his shot was dodged as he said,
“Let’s move at the same time and kill him!”
Then he rushed toward Ye Xuan like a bloodthirsty wolf.
Narok followed behind him with his axe.
Ye Xuan felt a strong sense danger enveloping him at this moment.
