My Super Beautiful Lady Boss
Chapter 406 - 406 406 Jiang Chen Dies

406: Chapter 406: Jiang Chen Dies 406: Chapter 406: Jiang Chen Dies National Security, with the addition of Su Xuan, would see its overall power jump several levels upwards, oh no, it would be positioned at the very pinnacle of the many secret agencies around the globe.

Therefore, Ao Wushuang, on behalf of National Security, would do everything possible to draw Su Xuan into their ranks.

Even without Su Xuan, Chen Wanqing was also a target they sought to recruit.

Such a woman with extremely high intelligence, meticulous in all her actions could be described as a female Zhuge Liang, truly a rare talent.

As for the special privileges they promised, they were nothing more than an identity card with no real power.

Everyone who enters National Security’s Special Operations Bureau receives a formal military rank or identity.

People like Ji Shang, Ling Wei, and Xiao Wu all had such military ranks, only varying in level.

However, despite being nominal ranks with no command over troops, a military officer without troops certainly cannot prevail over one with an actual illness; that’s a consensus within the military.

Regardless of command over troops, this privilege was extremely useful.

Presented to the outside world, it was on a level comparable to the mayor’s, and there was no need to doubt the authenticity of the document.

Anyone slightly knowledgeable could recognize the steel seal on it as well as the very special five-clawed Golden Dragon depicted.

Even if officials didn’t recognize it, they would clearly understand that this special privilege was far more impressive!

Chen Wanqing also knew the calculations in Ao Wushuang’s mind, but this was of no disadvantage to the Chen Family.

Whether Su Xuan joined or not, National Security would inevitably pester him, unwilling to let such an anomaly roam unchecked.

And Wanqing had her own plans; Su Xuan was prone to causing trouble, but if he had the identity of a National Security Colonel, even if the other party had some backing, they would have to think twice before acting, unless they were willing to ignore National Security’s face.

Of course, even ignoring it would be useless, because in this world, aside from the Military God, no one could trouble Su Xuan.

“Good, it’s a deal,” Chen Wanqing laughed, extremely pleased with the terms Ao Wushuang had offered.

Ao Wushuang was overjoyed inside and turned to Di San, “Di San, National Security equally welcomes you to join us.

No matter what you’ve done in the past, once you join National Security, from then on, we will be your staunch support!”

“I don’t care.

Wherever Su Xuan goes, I go,” Di San shrugged indifferently about which organization to join, and understood that this was merely a formal gesture by National Security.

Even after joining, they would not easily try to command or order him; it was all just a process.

Of course, when necessary, he would lend a hand because of the great benefits National Security had given him.

So, when National Security truly needed him, he would also take action.

This was another method for them to recruit civilian experts; in reality, it was a mutual exploitation.

“Great!” Ao Wushuang laughed heartily.

Recruiting so many useful people at once was an incredibly joyous event for National Security; now all that remained was for Su Xuan to return and then lure Jiang Tiange out, capturing him and his grandson all at once.

“He’s here,” called out Zhao Xiaoyi.

“Su Xuan has arrived.”

Following her voice, everyone’s gaze turned toward the front of the Golden Palace.

They saw Su Xuan, with one hand grasping Jiang Chen, taking steps towards the Golden Palace.

Jiang Chen, like a small chicken, was lifted by Su Xuan and wore an expression of rage.

“Jiang Chen?

He’s a bit different from what I’d imagined,” said Chen Wanqing with a smile.

Jiang Chen didn’t speak, but his gaze shifted to Ao Wushuang, trembling in his heart, he asked word by word, “Who… who exactly are you?

Where is the Demon Bull, and how come you’re with them?”

“Commander, you sure have many questions!”

Ao Wushuang narrowed his eyes and said, “First, I am Ao Wushuang, just not the one you used to know.

Second, I’ve disposed of the Demon Bull.

And as for why I’m with them, we are all in the same group now, my commander.

When did you become so slow-witted?”

Jiang Chen laughed furiously, then suddenly spat out fresh blood, evidently a result of extreme anger and shock.

“Ao Wushuang, you’ve got guts!” Jiang Chen’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he said, “The reach of National Security is truly vast.

I underestimated them!”

“That’s because you are too arrogant,” Ao Wushuang said with a smile.

“Stubborn people generally do not end well, and you are no exception!”

“Heh, without Chen Wanqing, could you have succeeded?”

Jiang Chen added, “In fact, to me, you’re just mediocre.

In my view, the only real opponent is her,” pointing at Chen Wanqing, “It’s just a pity that I’ve ultimately made one wrong move and lost everything.”

“Now, nothing else matters, does it?”

“Right now, the biggest winner is National Security, not you, Jiang Chen!” Ao Wushuang proclaimed.

“How confident of you!”

Jiang Chen laughed, saying, “The purpose of your National Security abducting me was for the half-finished Holy Water I carry, wasn’t it?

If you kill me, those three bottles of half-finished Holy Water will forever be out of your reach!”

“Are you trying to negotiate with me?” Ao Wushuang raised an eyebrow and asked.

“What else?”

Jiang Chen replied calmly, “As long as I’m held captive and my safety isn’t assured, I will not hand over that half-finished Holy Water!”

“What would be considered safe for you?” Ao Wushuang glanced at Jiang Chen.

“Letting you leave is clearly impossible, but if you refuse to hand over the half-finished Holy Water, we will keep you detained indefinitely.

How about we both make concessions?

You give up two bottles of the half-finished Holy Water, and then, let your grandfather Jiang Tiange come to bail you out, how about that?”

“No, no, no!”

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, “This matter has nothing to do with my grandfather.

Don’t try to pry anything out of me.”

“Jiang Chen, if that’s how you’re going to talk, it’s no fun,” Ao Wushuang stated.

“Others may not have seen the Vice Sect Leader of Zodiac Road, but surely I, Ao Wushuang, have.

Your grandfather Jiang Tiange is known in the assassin world as Heavenly Killing Star, with strength ranking in the top twenty on the Divine List, comparable in power to the Taoist Master of Shura Path, the King of Shura.

Such a person, hidden within Huaxia—do you think that’s appropriate?”

“Heavenly Killing Star?

I don’t know them!”

Jiang Chen said with a smile, “Ao Wushuang, I’ll offer you two choices: either take me down now, which will be difficult for you to accomplish—I’m beyond the reach of anyone’s blade except for Su Xuan’s—or let me leave.

In return, I’ll give National Security two bottles of the half-finished Holy Water.

Otherwise, I could just rot in your National Security’s prison for a lifetime.

Of course, Zodiac Road will not let this go easily.

As for the consequences, that’s for you to bear!”

“Are you threatening me?”

Ao Wushuang said coldly, “Killing you, I can still obtain the half-finished Holy Water.”

“Then what are you waiting for?

Go ahead and do it!” Jiang Chen closed his eyes with a look that invited death, giving off an extremely irritating vibe.

Ao Wushuang’s teeth grinded with a gnashing sound.

In terms of negotiation, he was no match for Jiang Chen and had been led by the nose the whole time, unable to intimidate him.

The man was requesting death now, and yet he didn’t dare to do it.

How ridiculous, truly laughable.

Ao Wushuang’s face was indecisive as he pondered how to get hold of the three bottles of half-finished Holy Water on Jiang Chen, when Su Xuan interjected, “Since you’re asking for death, I might as well grant your wish!”

As he spoke, a black ancient sword suddenly appeared in Su Xuan’s hand.

This sword, named Langya, had all the Sharp Intent between heaven and earth gathered on the edges of its blade when drawn.

Everyone felt a pain on their skin as if they were being sliced with a knife.

“No!”

A voice suddenly came from the distance.

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly realized something and shouted, “Su Xuan, stop, stop…

your hand!”

Thud.

The sound of a knife piercing flesh.

Jiang Chen struggled to turn his head, only to see the ancient sword, emitting a black glow, fully embedded in his body.

Hisss.

Su Xuan pulled the Langya Sword out.

Jiang Chen wanted to say something to Su Xuan, like to stop, not to kill him, but he had no control over the rapidly draining Power from his body.

Jiang Chen staggered forward a few steps, looking at the person who had arrived suddenly, tears streaming from his eyes.

He reached out, trying to grasp that person, just as he would have his father give him a hand when he fell as a child.

But in the end, Jiang Chen only took a few steps before collapsing weakly to the ground with a thud.

As blood flowed out from under him, Jiang Chen struggled a bit, then closed his eyes and never opened them again.

Su Xuan’s sword was too full of Sharp Intent.

After piercing Jiang Chen’s body, the potent Sharp Intent annihilated Jiang Chen’s “spirit, qi, and mind” completely,

Even the Holy Water within Jiang Chen’s body had not had a chance to display its medicinal power before he passed.

The Undying Body was nothing more than this after all.

Sharp Intent, it is also a kind of will!

However, this will, under the Profound Meaning, was brought to the extreme by Su Xuan.

With one swing, the ground and the sky could be obliterated—to truly obliterate everything, any form of strength was wiped out by the will contained within that one swing.

This was Su Xuan’s comprehension of the simplest and most fundamental will, without Ao Wushuang’s refinement or Ji Shang’s earth-shattering power.

However, what he comprehended was to push one most fundamental thing to its limits.

The sword, it is the utmost among tools, the king within arms.

The sword has no will of its own.

It is just a sword.

The Sharp Intent of the sword is the most essential part of it.

And Su Xuan, he has displayed this most fundamental essence, which is the enlightenment of a Martial Path’s peak figure!

After Su Xuan struck with his sword, Ao Wushuang froze, Ji Shang froze, Ling Wei and Azure Dragon froze as well.

They had not expected Su Xuan to actually satisfy Jiang Chen’s death wish.

Well, Jiang Chen wasn’t actually wishing for death, but Su Xuan took it seriously, snatched Azure Dragon’s sword, and from the moment he took the sword, Jiang Chen’s fate was sealed—none of those present could withstand that powerful blow.
