Chapter 100 - 77, Ten Si Cao_2
Chen Ji’s hands gripped Manager Yuan’s fingers and slowly pried open the plump hand, dropping it to the ground where he began to cough violently.
Manager Yuan incredulously clutched at his throat, stepping backward as blood gushed from between his fingers, swiftly draining all of his strength.
"When did you become an Executive Officer? This is the Sword Seed Path! How could you understand the Temple of Martial Arts’ Sword Cultivation Technique? Did your mother teach you? But how could she possibly master the technique..."
"Sword Seed Path..."
"It’s actually the Sword Seed Path!"
Manager Yuan collapsed with a thunderous fall.
Chen Ji slumped to the ground, cradling his palm as sporadic snowflakes began to flutter from the sky. They melted immediately upon landing in the center of his palm.
For a moment, he was somewhat bewildered. Had he finally killed Manager Yuan?
This night, he had first saved the Princely Heir and Bai Li, then dragged himself, wounded, to assassinate Manager Yuan. Even though dawn had not yet broken, it felt as though he had endured an entire, interminable season, from autumn to winter.
Before he could collect his senses, the sound of hooves came from the distant street... The Spy Department had arrived!
Chen Ji struggled to his feet, intending to quickly flee the scene, but just as he stood up, he fell hard again. The final piece of brick that Manager Yuan had kicked up had landed on his leg, bursting open his wound.
