Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled! 278 Chapter 271: Mission Complete!

Even he was ashamed of himself for stating such a blatant lie towards the public. However, what could a mere emcee like him do? In the grand scheme of the high cla.s.s people, he could only force himself to abide!

After all, only the common people would believe that it was an 'unintended' rookie mistake. As for the experts, unless they were blind and was halfway to their grave, they could definitely smell that something was going on!

Suppressing his inner emotions, he then continued. "Thankfully, our star champion here has still managed to win despite the odds being stacked against him. Everyone, let us give Duan Li a good round of applause!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Flying towards Duan Li, the Emcee whispered onto Duan Li's ears, "We will explain the matter regarding the puppet to you later. So for now, please act that everything is fine.." he explained with an embarra.s.sed look.

Duan Li nodded and then turned to everyone, "Eh the mistake is okay, everyone does it once in a while. Besides, I had a little bit of fun fighting against it!"

Hearing this, the crowd got excited.

"As expected of the Child of Tian, to have the magnanimous heart to forgive others for their mistake.. he is truly a role model for us!"

"Hais! The Heavens have truly blessed our Jiu Empire this time around! Such a good young man!"

"If I remember correctly, he is of the Lord cla.s.s right? Where do I sign up?"

"Shut up and take my money!"

...

"Zhang Liao.. did you.. see that aura when he punched out?" Lu Bu spoke with a grim countenance.

"Yeah.. it was unlike any other that I have felt before..! Even my Grandteacher has a more reserved aura than that when he was angry at me before.." Zhang Liao replied.

Gulp!

Just who in the world is this guy? How did we not know of his existence prior to this with that kind of battle prowess that could dominate the whole younger generation?

Did we look down on the other empires that much?

At this moment, both Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, as well as the other foreign envoys made deep reflection towards their state of mind before they lamented and sighed helplessly;

Despite the short history of the Jiu Empire, it had actually managed to produce such a monstrously talented young man like Duan Li!

"It's regrettable, but he is not the Child of Tian.." Zhang Liao continued.

"En. While he is indeed strong, possibly even on par with the Children of Tian, he does not have the white aura that could induce automatic deference in others towards him.." Lu Bu nodded in agreement.

As they came from the Wei and Qin Empire respectively, it goes without saying that each empire has a long and deeply rooted history that will suffice to say that, both has affected the Tian continent in one way or another, even until the present day!

Thus naturally, they knew about the Children of Tian as well. The tell tale indicator for such an outstanding existence was their overflowing white aura that could make others submit to them!

In the past thousands of years, there were some known Children of Tian roaming around freely in the continent, who then later on in their life, decided to settle themselves within an empire to help the young generation grow until the end of their lifespan.

Consequently, each of their Grandteacher happened to be a true Child of Tian as well!

"However, that extremely thick azure aura.. just what sort of cultivation technique did he practiced? It seemed to be way thicker than normal.." they both thought to themselves and could not help but to be amazed.

Even when their Grandteacher had imparted to them cultivation techniques that were considered to be top-notch in the world, unrivalled even; their spiritual Qi was not as thick and dense as Duan Li!

Feeling curious, they decided to meetup with the other party later on and inquire about the topic. Meanwhile, Ling s.h.i.+n and Ruo Hen was already nowhere to be found after the compet.i.tion ended.

As for Bai Li, he silently went into a dark corner of the stadium and exitted into the small streets to quietly mold himself into the darkness and disappear, before he suddenly widened his eyes in shock as he felt s.h.i.+ver on his back!

Danger!

Tap!

With a decisive leap, Bai Li flitted away and pushed his back against the wall as he took out two small, unique knives on his two hands and put up a defensive stance.

"Who are you? Come on out!!" he bellowed angrily.

To think that he was almost caught off guard when he had trained himself day and night as one of the top rated a.s.sa.s.sin in the Huan Empire..

If others in the same line as him were to hear about this, he would become a laughingstock and die of shame!

Unforgivable!

The only possibility for this was that the other party was also a top rated a.s.sa.s.sin like him! At this line of thought, he calmed himself down before saying something to the empty surrounding around him warily.

"Which clan are you from? Know that I am here under the official business of the Huan Empire! Go back and tell your lords.h.i.+p to cancel out your contract as this empire is currently off limits to other people other than me!"

"..."

Suuu...

The cold breeze of the night blew against him slowly. He waited for a long while but there was still no reply at all!

Even for an a.s.sa.s.sin like him, this too much stillness in the surrounding was exceptionally difficult to handle that his back started to drench in sweat!

The area around him was eerily silent, as if there was no one there. However, his senses that was honed to the maximum from the countless hours of training and real life experiences told him that danger was close by!

In fact, for each breath that he took in, he felt as if the unknown would inched itself a step closer with a scythe towards his neck, almost driving him crazy!

"Who the h.e.l.l is this person? How did he managed to hide his presence to such a degree?!" he thought to himself as fear began to crept up inside him.

d.a.m.n it! I need to bail out!

"Okay! I admit that you are better than me! I'll leave this place right away and will not disturb you any- kuhe!!"

Before he could even finish his sentence, he felt a sudden sharp pain below him that made all of his body hairs stood on end!

"I.. was attacked..?"

This sharp pain penetrated through his body like a thousand needles, and after he took a closer look towards the origin of this pain, he almost fainted from the sheer shock!

After all, a chicken had suddenly latched its sharp beak to bite and gnaw at his little brother down there!

"ARGHHH!! You f*cking chicken! My little brother is not for you to.. kuhe!!"

He felt another bout of sharp pain. This time, it was his a*us that was penetrated by a sharp beak of another chicken!

"ARGHHH!!"

Kuhe!!

Another bite to his nose.

Kuhe!!

Kuhe!!

Kuhe!!

...

Even when his consciousness was starting to fail him, he still had no idea as to how so many of these chickens suddenly appeared out of nowhere to attack him.

Have I somehow offended the ancestor of all chicken to receive such tribulation?

Padah!

His head finally slid to the ground and the unbearable pain that seemed to be doused with poison began to take its effect.

Tap! Tap!

Hearing the light footsteps coming towards him, he gritted his teeth and used the last of his strength to look up. Unfortunately, the effect from the poison had already made a full circle inside his body system, and he felt his eyelids becoming heavy!

"d.a.m.n it... So this is.. where my path ends.."

To die with chickens biting at my private parts.. ahh Heavens.. why must thee be so cruel...

Putong!

Bai Li was finally knocked into a deep sleep as he began to snore loudly.

A lithe figure dressed in tight black clothing appeared beside the sleeping Bai Li.

"This fellow sure is good. If not for my special ability to dive right into any shadow in an instant, he would've found me.."

Grasping tight a communication jade on her palm, she relayed a message, "Empress Dowager, mission completed."

Before long, a reply came in. "Good work. Sorry for using you like this. Just leave him there, my men will fetch him up for a good round of talking." the voice of Empress Dowager said coldly.

"Understood." she replied simply and cut off the communication, before heaving a long sigh as she looked up at the starry night sky.

"If its for the Imperial Overseer, there is nothing that I am not willing to do.."

Di Rou's silhouette then disappeared from the dark street into the cold night.

Suu..

...
