Supreme Devouring God

"Swish!"

Liuw Cheng didn’t hesitate at all; the moment Hea Zhangxuan appeared, he lunged at Hea Zhangxuan.

He pushed his speed to the limit.

How could Hea Zhangxuan react in time?

He had just climbed up and was preparing to check the situation inside the room.

Suddenly, he saw a Black Shadow charging at him, and Hea Zhangxuan was startled.

"Such a quick detection speed?"

Hea Zhangxuan was utterly shocked inside.

He obviously mistook Liuw Cheng for Qin Chen.

And Liuw Cheng also mistook Hea Zhangxuan for Qin Chen.

The situation was unique, and Jingyue Empress Dowager hadn’t informed Liuw Cheng she had also sent Hea Zhangxuan.

In such a tense situation, neither of them had time to react.

"Bang!"

Liuw Cheng’s sudden outburst caught Hea Zhangxuan off guard, directly blasting him away.

Hea Zhangxuan crashed onto the floor of the room, making a dull sound.

He didn’t have time to react.

Liuw Cheng was quick, advancing with an arrow-like step, a flash of cold light in his hand—a dagger appeared.

Although Jingyue Empress Dowager had instructed to capture people alive, she didn’t say causing injury was prohibited. Liuw Cheng intended to severely wound ’Qin Chen’ to incapacitate ’Qin Chen’.

Seeing Liuw Cheng draw the dagger.

Hea Zhangxuan was shocked.

If he had paid attention, he might have realized the person in front of him was Liuw Cheng.

But alas, the situation was too tense!

Hea Zhangxuan had no time to observe closely.

Immediately rolling to the right quickly.

"Ptz!"

Liuw Cheng’s dagger grazed past Hea Zhangxuan’s right arm, cutting it open, and blood splattered on the ground, pooling into a large puddle.

"Quite a quick reaction."

Liuw Cheng secretly noted, but then the dagger headed towards Hea Zhangxuan’s chest.

Hea Zhangxuan remained in a passive state, so when Liuw Cheng tried to stab him again, he directly summoned a piece of Wood Armor to block Liuw Cheng’s dagger.

Immediately seizing that moment, Hea Zhangxuan flipped up and leaped to his feet, sweeping a leg towards Liuw Cheng’s lower section.

So familiar!

When Hea Zhangxuan used that piece of Wood Armor, Liuw Cheng was momentarily stunned.

However, the bedroom was pitch-black, impossible to see anything, and with Hea Zhangxuan suddenly attacking, Liuw Cheng had no time to think.

He jumped and evaded Hea Zhangxuan’s leg sweep, then reached out and grabbed Hea Zhangxuan’s neck.

Liuw Cheng’s strength was formidable, as soon as he clutched Hea Zhangxuan’s neck, Hea Zhangxuan lost the ability to breathe.

In fact, if Liuw Cheng hadn’t deliberately spared Hea Zhangxuan’s life, Hea Zhangxuan might have been crushed to death by Liuw Cheng.

In a crisis, a surge of survival instinct erupted in Hea Zhangxuan, his fists blasting out like cannonballs with immense force.

"Swish!"

Liuw Cheng swiftly reacted, seeing Hea Zhangxuan’s fists barreling towards him, he swiftly swung the hand holding Hea Zhangxuan’s neck backward, throwing Hea Zhangxuan out.

Hea Zhangxuan quickly got up from the ground, just prepared to counterattack Liuw Cheng, Liuw Cheng promptly stepped forward with his foot, stomping directly on Hea Zhangxuan’s chest.

"Puh!"

A soaring foot stomped onto the chest, how could Hea Zhangxuan withstand it?

Blood spewed directly from his mouth.

Seeing Hea Zhangxuan seemingly severely injured, Liuw Cheng was overjoyed, quickly accelerating to control Hea Zhangxuan, intending to drag Hea Zhangxuan into the tunnel.

Although Liuw Cheng was somewhat puzzled why it was just Qin Chen alone.

But since ’Qin Chen’ had already discovered him, he could only take action to subdue him, then continue waiting for Lin Songyun to arrive.

The palace’s Servants and Maids knew nothing about this.

Jingyue Empress Dowager was very discreet, conducting everything in the dark, clearly avoiding Saber Saint Cliff’s prosecution.

But how could Hea Zhangxuan accept this?

He didn’t know Liuw Cheng was intentionally sparing his life.

Suddenly, a strong will to survive erupted, Hea Zhangxuan kicked both legs, instantly locking Liuw Cheng’s neck.

Liuw Cheng’s face turned red with blood, Hea Zhangxuan endured the injury, flipped Liuw Cheng over.

"Boom!"

Liuw Cheng’s body crashed through a table.

The furnishings on the table all tumbled to the ground with a crash.

Both Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan’s faces changed immediately.

The Servants and Maids outside naturally heard the noise and immediately voices sounded from outside: "Are the two Saints alright?"

Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan saw the timing was off and had no choice.

Both mistaking each other for Qin Chen, they hastily deployed their own techniques, seeming worried that ’Qin Chen’ might escape.

Though the commotion was louder than planned.

However, fortunately, this was Jingyue Palace, so stirring up trouble, while not ideal, had solutions.

The room was silent.

The Servants and Maids outside didn’t hesitate.

Directly opening the door to the room.

Holding lanterns in their hands.

Thus, as they entered, the lantern’s light chased away all the darkness in the room.

Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan, grappling on the ground, entered their sight.

Not only that.

Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan, grappling with each other, also took advantage of the light to see each other’s faces clearly.

In an instant.

They felt frozen as if by some force, their whole bodies stiffened.

The entire world seemed silent at that moment.

"General Liuw? Lord Hea?"

"How come you are here?!"

The numerous Servants and Maids were utterly confused.

Many were fiercely rubbing their eyes, as though convinced they were witnessing illusions.

Crucially, why were Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan inexplicably fighting?

And, it was in the bedroom of two Saints.

This truly left them extremely puzzled.

Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan exchanged glances, wishing they could slap themselves.

What were they doing?

In the end, it was them fighting here?

Qin Chen and Lin Songyun weren’t here at all?

Darn!

This felt as if they had encountered a ghost!

Trying to catch a thief but losing the bait, not only did they fail to capture Qin Chen, they exposed themselves.

Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan stood from the ground, among them Hea Zhangxuan wore a sullen face, instantly walking to a nearby man, whispering to him.

The man nodded.

Subsequently, Liuw Cheng and Hea Zhangxuan left stiffly.

The man promptly ordered, "Quickly clean the bedroom, leave no traces."

"All you witnessed today, not a word must be spoken, if anyone questions you, saying nothing. If anyone can’t keep their mouth shut, not only you, your families will suffer!"

The group of Servants and Maids nodded incessantly, not daring to consider it.

They already held low positions, even less inclined to disobey this order.

"What the hell is going on?!"

After walking some distance, with no one around, Liuw Cheng stopped, frantically asking Hea Zhangxuan.

Hea Zhangxuan replied, "The Empress Dowager was uneasy, so she sent me ahead."

Liuw Cheng was speechless, "Why not inform me of anything beforehand?"

Hea Zhangxuan said, "That’s not the main issue of this incident, I want to know, why aren’t Qin Chen and Lin Songyun in that bedroom?"
