Quick Wear: The Law of Salvation of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 266 The Strange Alchemist 11

At this moment, the other people who were concentrating on their cultivation were all disturbed by the unusual movement coming from here, and they all turned their eyes in this direction. They couldn't suppress their curiosity and looked out.

After all, this is gossip about a favored child of destiny who has attracted much attention in the imperial capital. Who would easily miss such explosive gossip?

Xie Qi, who had knocked Xie Cheng flying, now stared at the blood-spattered Xie Cheng with murderous eyes. His face was gloomy, and he said to 948 coldly, "I want to kill him now."

"Host, are you not going to continue testing?" 948's voice sounded in Xie Qi's mind.

However, Xie Qi responded without hesitation: "No need, he's just a fool, a brainless idiot! It's not worth wasting time to test him."

After saying that, he reached into the ring space, slowly drew out a long sword with a cold glow, and then approached Xie Cheng step by step.

Seeing Xie Qi approaching step by step with a long sword in hand, Xie Cheng, who had been trying to remain calm, finally fell into complete panic.

He looked at Mu Ze beside him in horror and shouted at the top of his lungs, "He... he's going to kill me! Master Mu, please save me! I... I'm your fiancé!"

Hearing this, Xie Qi couldn't help but let out a mocking sneer: "Fiancé? Xie Cheng, at this point, how long are you going to keep pretending?"

Hearing this, Xie Cheng was struck by lightning. His body trembled violently, his face turned pale in an instant, and he stammered in response: "I... I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Don't know? Okay, then let me tell you." Xie Qi took a step forward, staring closely at Xie Cheng, and said word by word: "Your name is Xie Cheng, your father is Xie Kunpeng, your engagement letter is fake, and your birth date and time are all stolen."

Xie Qi stood straight like this, emitting a powerful aura, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

After hearing the truth revealed by Xie Qi, the onlookers were all dumbfounded and shocked.

Especially the children of the Mu family, they all looked at their senior brothers with worry, secretly sweating for him in their hearts.

However, at this moment, Xie Cheng was already flustered and at a loss. His eyes darted around and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. But even so, he still gritted his teeth and shouted stubbornly, "Don't slander me here. I am obviously Xie Qi!"

"Really? Since you insist that you are Xie Qi, then may I ask, who am I?" Xie Qi asked back jokingly, and at the same time reached out and took out a face-removing pill from his arms and swallowed it without hesitation.

As everyone was staring in astonishment, the next second, Xie Qi's originally ordinary face began to change dramatically.

His skin gradually became smooth and delicate, and his facial features became more three-dimensional and refined. In the blink of an eye, a handsome and elegant face appeared clearly in front of everyone.

Xie Cheng widened his eyes, staring at the person in front of him with horror, and blurted out involuntarily: "Xie Qi!..." His voice became sharp and piercing because of extreme shock and fear.

Xie Qi stared at Xie Cheng expressionlessly and said coldly, "Do you know who I am now?"

Xie Cheng's face instantly turned pale as paper, his lips trembling as he muttered in disbelief, "Impossible! Aren't you dead? He told me you were dead!"

However, facing Xie Cheng's fear at this moment, Xie Qi showed no mercy. He stepped forward and approached Xie Cheng, continuing to question: "Who told you that I was dead, and who instructed you to pretend to be me and go to the Mu family to recognize my relatives?"

"No...why should I tell you!" Xie Cheng gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, but the panic in his eyes betrayed his true emotions.

"If you don't tell me, believe it or not, I will not make sure you can't walk out of this secret place alive!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xie Qi's eyes, and his tone was as cold as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

Hearing this, Xie Cheng subconsciously looked around and found that everyone around him was looking at him with contempt and disgust. His heart sank, knowing that this time he was completely doomed. In this case, he might as well go all out. After all, Xie Qi couldn't do anything to him here.

So, Xie Cheng simply put on a scoundrel face and sneered, "Who are you trying to scare? I have runes blessed by the elders on my body. If I get seriously injured, I will be automatically teleported out of the secret realm. By the time you come out of the secret realm, I will have disappeared without a trace, and you will have to stay here and complete the assessment. Hahahaha, unless you don't want to pass the assessment, what can you do to me?"

Xie Cheng had already given up on himself, completely disregarding the consequences. He thought to himself that as long as he could leave this place safely and seek refuge with the mysterious master, he wouldn't have to worry about Xie Qi's revenge.

Thinking of this, he became bolder and looked at Xie Qi provocatively.

However, the next second, the smile on his face froze, unable to hold on any longer. Xie Qi's gleaming sword suddenly thrust out, piercing straight through Xie Cheng's palm!

As the long sword pierced into him, a mysterious and complex rune formation slowly emerged in Xie Cheng's palm.

Not long after, the teleportation rune on the back of Xie Cheng's hand, which was originally blessed by the elder himself, melted quickly and disappeared without a trace, just like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

This change also means that even if Xie Cheng is seriously injured and on the verge of death at this moment, he has lost the possibility of being teleported out of this secret realm.

At this time, Xie Cheng collapsed to the ground powerlessly, blood gushing out of his injured palm like a fountain, staining the ground beneath him red.

He stared with wide eyes at the rune on the back of his hand that had disappeared, his heart filled with fear and despair.

At this moment, he finally felt an unprecedented fear, and his voice began to tremble with extreme terror.

"No... Impossible. How could you possibly break the runes cast by the elders? You are clearly a useless waste..." Xie Cheng muttered to himself in disbelief.

However, facing Xie Cheng's questioning, Xie Qi just smiled coldly, then slowly squatted down, looking down at Xie Cheng who was still chattering, and spoke again: "Are you still stubborn? Who ordered you to do this? As long as you tell the truth honestly, perhaps I can consider letting you suffer less."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng's body trembled even more violently. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied haltingly, "Yes...it was the master who told me. He said you were dead. He also helped me prepare the fake engagement letter, and he also told me your birth date and horoscope."

"Who is the sir?" Xie Qi asked urgently.

Xie Cheng shook his head anxiously, crying, "I... I don't know, I really don't know! Every time he met me, he would cover his face, and he always took the initiative to look for me..."

Hearing this useless clue, Xie Qi was so angry that he used the tip of the sword in his hand and stabbed Xie Cheng's injured palm without hesitation. Once, twice, three times... His palm was already bloody, but Xie Qi had no intention of stopping.

At the same time, he was still muttering: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I'll make sure you don't know!"

Xie Cheng wailed in agony, tears pouring out like a broken dam. He desperately begged for mercy, "Ah! Stop poking me! Please, spare me! I... I remember now, he... he should be from Wuxing Academy. I've seen him holding the academy's doorplate... and he smells like elixir, so he must be an alchemist. He's about 160 to 170 cm tall and very thin. I... that's all I know. I really don't know anything else..."

Xie Qi paused for a moment after hearing this. He stared at Xie Cheng, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, he seemed certain that the other party had indeed revealed everything he knew, and there were no more useful clues to be obtained. In this case, it was pointless to continue to tangle with Xie Cheng.

Xie Qi's lips curled slightly, and then he raised his sword and stabbed it straight into Xie Cheng's heart. Xie Cheng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. As the sword completely penetrated his body, a large stream of blood gushed out of Xie Cheng's mouth, staining the ground in front of him red.

Xie Qi looked at Xie Cheng, who was still breathing, and said, "Don't look at me. I didn't break my promise. This can be considered as a painless death for you."

After saying this, Xie Qi pulled out his sword with force, and Xie Cheng's body fell to the ground with a bang, completely losing his life.
