Chapter Seventy-six Lucky

  "You all go to the conference hall, I have something to say." Li Xie said calmly: "I'll change my clothes and come over, Ze En stays behind."

  Jack and several others didn't think much of it and all left the study room.

  Waiting for a few people to leave, Li Xie's face revealed a hint of lucky expression, looking at Ze Ennarde and saying in a low voice: "If I hadn't just advanced, if I hadn't just obtained the Blood Energy Super Sense skill, perhaps this time I would have died without a doubt! It seems that heaven doesn't want me to die, so he must die!"

  The two of them said a couple of words and then left the study and came into the conference hall.

  Inside the conference hall, Jack, Xiao An, Skamord, Kano and Miao stood in a line, while Li Xie and Zeennard came out from the side door and stood at the main position on the far end of the hall.

  Li Xie said: "You all know that I was assassinated, oh, Skamo doesn't know, just listen and don't spread it around. The killer who wants to kill me is a high-ranking master of the killing list, and those on the killing list will not give up once they accept the task. They will come after me sooner or later! I heard that the person who wants to kill me is proficient in disguise techniques and can change their appearance. You few are people I am relatively familiar with and are among the few who can get close to me. If the killer disguises themselves as one of you, I'm afraid I might be caught off guard for a moment. So, before I can confirm that you are not the killer, I must give each of you a secret code word. Before killing that killer, whenever you approach me, you must first secretly tell Zeen the code word, and only if it matches will it be okay! The four of your code words are different, and don't let others know. Zeen, go tell them their code words."

  "Sir!" Scamador said: "I'm going back to the Imperial City too, and also in secret?"

  "Shut up! Or I'll make sure you can't get back!"

  "Hmm..." Scamander smiled wryly.

  Kano furrowed his brow: "Sir, we said the password was for Zein, but what if the assassin is disguised as Zein?"

  Li Xie coldly smiled: "That assassin, still doesn't have the ability to impersonate Ze En!"

  "Zain, go tell them the password, whisper it, say it clearly! Remember, say it clearly!"

  Zayn nodded and walked over to Jack, whispering something in his ear. Then he walked over to Xiao An and whispered another sentence. Xiao An's expression changed slightly, and she unconsciously took a step closer to Jack, but her movement was blocked by Zayn's body.

  Zayn Nad walked up to Kano, leaning in close to his ear: "I couldn't see through your disguise, your skill at changing appearances is impressive, and you also have a way of hiding your aura! If you weren't determined to fight to the death, I wouldn't want to kill you either!"

  Kano's face changed color, and he tried to fly back, but Zaydenard had already punched his abdomen with a golden fist. The punch hit Kano's abdomen with a muffled sound, startling Skarmory, while Jack quickly hugged Little Anne to protect her safety.

  Zayn's fist succeeded, and he showed no mercy. His left hand reached behind Kano's back, circling his neck, and pinning Kano's head under his armpit. His right elbow flashed with a golden light, striking Kano's back again. The two consecutive heavy blows from the 9th-level giant dragon at close range made Kano's consciousness slightly blurry. However, Zayn didn't stop there. He violently crashed his knee into Kano's abdomen, sending him flying, and then stretched out one foot upwards, axe-like, chopping down heavily on Kano's head. Kano's entire body crashed to the ground, spewing out fresh blood, staining the ground with a large patch of crimson red.

  With such a blow, Zayn finally stopped and stood aside, saying coldly: "He's only got one breath left!"

  Scamado stood beside him, stunned and muttered: "You... why..."

  But what he saw was that the figure on the ground, Carano, was gradually changing in shape. His height of two meters twenty shrunk to about one meter eight, and his facial features also changed into an ordinary face. A gray light appeared on his body, a mass of gray light peeled off from his body, revealing a magical beast with a shape similar to that of an ostrich, its body covered in gray scales - it was his contracted beast, the Wind Walking Beast. At this moment, the beast was also on the verge of collapse.

  "You're a killer!" Scamode finally realized! And he was even more frightened, all the way following Cano, it turned out not to be Cano himself, and he didn't notice at all.

  "Why? You can't see through my weakness!" The man on the ground struggled to turn over, having been hit by Zayn's consecutive blows. He was probably internally shattered, his mouth and nose bleeding profusely. As he spoke, he started coughing violently again.

  Li Xie walked closer, staring coldly at the person on the ground and sneering: "I shouldn't have died, but you've had a stroke of bad luck! Moreover, although your appearance, voice, and expression are exactly the same as Kano's, Kano called Zain his deputy, not by his name!"

  In fact, Li Xie was able to tell that this Kano was fake, all thanks to his Blood Super Sense.

  Kano was only a 7th rank Sword Saint, but the blood energy that Li Xie saw in Kano's body was higher than Jie Ke's, with more than 50,000 points of blood energy! Moreover, it wasn't just one strand of blood energy, but two strands!

  Isn't it obvious enough?

  "Am I cursed? Ah, knowing you have a jinxed beast, I shouldn't have taken on the mission." The ninth-ranked assassin, Sid Weijia, said this as he finally used up his last breath and died.

  Li Ye let out a sigh of relief and hastily said: "Ze En, go take a look if that demonic beast is dead or not, an eighth-tier demonic beast..."

  "It's already dead! It must have been his contracted beast." said Zayn Nad.

  "Ah, what a waste of an eighth-tier demonic beast." Li Xie's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the people and beasts on the ground, seeing their blood energy rapidly dissipating. He hastily instructed, "Skarmode, drain their blood and store it for me."

  Xiao An didn't want to see what was coming next, so he made a bowing gesture to Li Xie: "Brother Xie, Xiao An is going to decoct medicine for Fan Di and also take a look at Little Chicken."

  Li Xie nodded and asked: "How is Jinling War Chicken's injury?"

  Jin Ling warcock ate Li Xie's one-fingered hanging life, although it restored its vitality, but the injury was severe, with a hundred days of tendon and bone fracture. Jin Ling warcock's injury probably needs to be raised for 150 days. At this moment, about 90 days have passed, and it's almost time to take a look at it.

  "Can act quickly." Xiao An responded with a sound, seeing Skamord bleeding, Xiao An's eyebrows furrowed, thinking of leaving quickly.

  "Uh, when you see Vandy, ask him to go with you to see Golden Winged War Chicken. Also, tell Vandy not to slack off." Previously, the Golden Winged War Chicken was almost immobile, and Xiao An taking care of it wasn't a problem, but if the Golden Winged War Chicken gained mobility, a masterless eighth-tier magical beast would be troublesome, and Xiao An wouldn't be able to handle it. So, calling Vandy Sel is safer.

  Xiao An responded with a "yes" and quickly walked away. On the other side, Skamord had also finished collecting things. Li Xie thought of Kano's safety and asked: "Skamord, recall if Kano left you for a while during the journey, where did he leave?"

  Scamode thought for a moment and said: "Sir, when we passed by the Yellow Water River, Carano had stomach pain and didn't come back until more than an hour later."

  "Alright Jack, pass the word down, send a squad of men from Finska to look for Kano, and also have soldiers search around town, we must bring Kano back!"

  "Yes! Sir!"

  Unexpectedly resolving the assassin's affair, Li Xie finally let out a sigh of relief. He only needed to find Cano back, and this matter would be perfect. Of course, perfection was only on Li Xie's side; involving another party, Li Xie absolutely refused to tolerate this matter.

  It can be said that this time was lucky, the invisible killer disguised as Cano, Li Xie didn't notice at all. If not for the promotion to get the blood super sense skill, the consequences would be imaginable. Last time, the invisible killer pierced Li Xie's heart but couldn't kill him. This time, it might not just pierce his heart.

  Lucky to have dodged a crisis once, what about next time?

  It is better to take the initiative than to passively suffer a beating.

  The spearhead is pointing at the Right Chancellor, as well as the Marquis of Panser and the Leopard Troop!

  They want to kill Li Xie, but Li Xie is not someone who can be easily handled by them.

  "Kill them all!" Li Xie said coldly as he watched Jack go to carry out the order. He could have sent Zainard to kill the Right Chancellor now, but that would not eradicate the root of the Right Chancellor's faction, which was still in the hands of Marquis Panseng's Leopard Army.

  So Li Xie didn't plan to let Zeennard, the God of Retribution, avenge his killer. His target was first set on the Cheetah Legion in Sunflower City.

  To eat down the Cheetah Legion, Li Xie was temporarily at a loss, and as for marching and fighting, he also had no experience, but he had Jack Rothschild.

  However, Li Xie still didn't fully trust this person, or rather, he couldn't be certain whether Mercedes VII sent him this talent to eliminate the threat of the Leopard Corps or if it was truly a gift for his use.

  "Let's give it a try! Zain, let's go take a look at our Golden Winged War Chicken. Guard, pass the order down, after Rothschild finishes his business, have him come see me."

  In a garden within the castle's inner courtyard.

  Xiao An crouched on the ground, stroking the golden feathers of the Golden Feathered War Chicken on the ground, and said softly: "Good little chicken, tomorrow I'll untie your bandage, and you can move around then."

  The golden-feathered fighting cock seemed to be enjoying Xiao An's touch, nuzzling its head into his hand, narrowing its eyes and making a low "gurgling" sound in its throat.

  Vandy Sell looked at the Golden Feathered War Chicken with delight, thinking that he couldn't get it, so he just touched it to satisfy his craving. He stretched out his hand to touch the Golden Feathered War Chicken, but saw that its eyes suddenly opened, revealing a fierce glint, and its sharp beak immediately pecked at Vandy Sell's hand. Fortunately, Vandy Sell was not an ordinary person, so he quickly withdrew his hand, otherwise, under the Golden Feathered War Chicken's beak, he would have lost at least a few fingers!

  "How dare you!" Vandy Sell shouted in rage.

  "Hmph!" Jin Ling, the war chicken, spoke in a human voice, looking at Vandel with disdain: "You lowly humans, don't dare touch me."

  "Am I despicable? You'd better speak clearly! In this life, I, Vandyssel, have been upright and honest. I dare not say that my character is noble, but I am absolutely not despicable!"

  "Hmph!" Jin Ling, the war chicken, let out a cold snort and said disdainfully: "Humans are all despicable! Otherwise, they wouldn't take advantage of my serious injury and force me to sign a master-slave contract!"

  "It's not me!" Vandy Sell shouted: "Injustice has a head and debt has an owner, you should scold the one who signed the master-slave contract with you, what does it have to do with me? I just wanted to touch you, now I don't even want to touch you, dirty hands! Xiao An, don't touch it either, it's also scolding you!"

  Jīn Líng the fighting cock nudged Xiao An's hand with his head: "She is different from you, you are a despicable human, she is not a despicable person among humans!"

  "You! You despicable chicken!" Vandy Sael looked like he wasn't good at verbal sparring, and when enraged, he clenched his fists as if ready to throw a punch.

  "Despicable person!"

  "Despicable chicken!"

  "Haha……" Li Xie walked over with a smile, saying: "Master Mian once said that 'lowly' is actually a word of praise. Only clever people have the capital to be lowly. Fandi, you look full of energy, not like you're short on breath at all. How come you've been resting for so long?"
