Chapter 16: The Forgotten Eunuch
At that moment, Luo Feng felt great regret.
If he had known this earlier…
He should have put aside all considerations of face. Even if he had to defy the orders of the Empress, he would not step into this muddy water and come to Changmen Palace.
Who would have thought that not one, but two mysterious experts were hiding in Changmen Palace?
Both of them were grade-8 masters. Furthermore, they were great experts who had immersed themselves in the grade-8 realm for a long time and were considered late-stage grade-8 experts!
Who exactly were these two people?
Wasn't it said that they were likely to be survivors from the Taixu Sect?
However, before the Taixu Sect was exterminated back then, they only had one grade-8 expert!
No matter who it was, with two such bosses, even Eastern Depot Superintendent Feng Bao himself might also return without any achievements!
Thus, Luo Feng no longer cared about the Empress's order to take Chun Fei's life.
He had to leave immediately!
If he wanted to leave now, it would not be too difficult with his grade-8 cultivation base.
After all, everyone had grade-8 cultivation bases. Even if his strength was slightly inferior, he still had the certainty that he could escape.
However, he was now injured. If he fled any later, he might not be able to escape.
"Trying to escape? You can't run!"
White Impermanence gave a strange laugh once again. This time, he no longer attacked separately from his Senior Brother Black Impermanence. Instead, the two of them combined, and instantly, there was some sort of wonderful connection. Then, both fist techniques and leg techniques were displayed at the same time.
Crash!
In an instant, their techniques made great qualitative improvements. As a result, their fist techniques and leg techniques were no longer ordinary. Instead, they had materialized!
The surrounding heaven-and-earth natural qi was stirred up. Then, a massive fist form that dazzled with a pale blue light, as well as a massive leg shadow that shone with a brilliant golden light, appeared across the sky and charged towards Luo Feng.
"What?"
Luo Feng, who had believed that he would not face any problems retreating, was instantly scared out of his wits when he saw this.
For masters who had reached the top three grades, they would definitely be highly proficient in the martial arts they cultivated and could innovate new techniques. Thus, it was not difficult for them to materialize the unique characteristics of their techniques.
For example, Senior Brother He Liang back then was only a peak grade-6 who had not advanced to grade-7. However, he was highly proficient in his display of the Divine Raging Flames Palm, with even his hands becoming bright red.
However.
Unlike Black and White Impermanence, ordinary masters who had reached the top three grades would not be able to cause sudden changes in the heaven-and-earth natural qi like a deity.
This was the strength that only grade-9 masters possessed!
"The Heavenly Canal Divine Art! You are…"
At this moment, Luo Feng understood who exactly his opponents were.
They were Black and White Impermanence!
The Junior Brother was skilled in fist techniques, while the Senior Brother was skilled in leg techniques.
The two of them were grade-8 masters, but after they synchronized, they would be able to display might that could rival that of a grade-9 master.
Even though the Grand Xia Dynasty was very large and there were countless experts, experts who had such distinctive characteristics and fulfilled these conditions could only be the legendary Black and White Impermanence!
However, it was a pity that Luo Feng had understood this too late.
He could not even shout out the names of Black and White Impermanence.
The combination of attacks by Black and White Impermanence was not something that he, who had just advanced to the grade-8 realm, could challenge.
Puff! Puff!
Even though he had already displayed his strongest technique, when faced with the attacks of the blue-light fist shadow and the golden leg shadow, Luo Feng's body trembled twice in succession. As a result, almost all the meridians in his body, as well as his internal organs, had broken into pieces from this attack.
He continually vomited blood, and blood vessels appeared in his widened eyes. He pointed at Black and White Impermanence and wanted to say something but could not. Very quickly, he collapsed on the ground and stopped breathing.
"He collapsed from just one hit."
White Impermanence clapped his hands and glanced at Luo Feng's corpse on the ground with disdain.
However, a lewd smile quickly appeared on his face once again. He cheerily looked at Chun Fei and imperial maid Yun Su while continuously nodding his head. The more he looked at them, the more satisfied he was.
Tonight, he had seen almost all of the imperial concubines, but Chun Fei was the prettiest and the most attractive!
Regardless of whether it was in terms of her appearance, figure, or the color of her skin, she was remarkably beautiful. She was beautiful enough to be ranked among the top five women he had seen over the dozens of years he had been raping women!
Furthermore, what was even rarer and more valuable about her was that Chun Fei had practiced martial arts. Furthermore, he could see that her internal energy was not weak and that she had a grade-6 cultivation base!
This made her even rarer.
He had raped countless women and was highly experienced. Thus, he knew that women who were trained in martial arts were more fun than ordinary women!
As for Yun Su, her appearance was slightly inferior to that of Chun Fei's, but she was still a rare beauty.
At that moment, Chun Fei and Yun Su were in a complete state of loss and could not recover from their shock at all.
Directorate of Palace Seals Manager Luo Feng, who was ranked among the top few out of the 100,000 eunuchs, was a dignified grade-8 master, but he had died just like that?
Even though Luo Feng had died and the two women should be extremely excited, what had happened before them simply felt unreal!
Chun Fei had been ready to die and never thought that she would be able to survive this night, yet in the blink of an eye, life and death had been reversed!
Where did these two people, one black and one white, appear from?
Did they come specially to save her?
Black and White Impermanence had appeared at the last moment and killed Luo Feng. As a result, Chun Fei could not help but imagine positive things.
"Beautiful lady, don't be afraid. I won't harm you." White Impermanence rubbed his hands together and gradually approached Chun Fei. Then, he said with a face full of smiles, "I'd like to ask you a question. From the clothes you're wearing, you should be a concubine of the Emperor, right?"
Chun Fei did not quite understand what he meant. Since he had saved her life, she nodded and spoke the truth, "Yes. I am the Emperor's concubine, Chun Fei."
"Chun Fei? Very good!"
A glint of excitement appeared in White Impermanence's eyes. The more impatient he was, the closer he went to Chun Fei and started to laugh strangely.
Chun Fei was not a fool either. When she saw White Impermanence's appearance, his boorish and lascivious smile, and especially his strange laughter, she felt very unsafe.
Then, the unrealistic beliefs rapidly dispersed.
The situation was not as good as she had imagined. These two people definitely had not come here just to save her. Instead, they had other intentions.
"You… Who are you?!" Chun Fei retreated step by step and asked with great vigilance.
"There's no need to say our names, as even we can't remember. But, o' famous beauty, you should've heard of us before. We're —Black and White Impermanence!" White Impermanence proclaimed with great excitement!
"Black and White Impermanence?!"
When Chun Fei heard this, her pupils instantly dilated, and panic appeared in her gaze.
This was a reaction that she did not experience even when she faced Luo Feng.
When faced with Luo Feng, even though she was no match for him, at the very most, she would simply die.
However, if she fell into the hands of Black and White Impermanence, she would rather die!
As a disciple of the Taixu Sect, she had mixed in with the Jianghu before entering the imperial palace. Thus, she had naturally heard of the celebrated heroes and the notorious demons in the Jianghu.
Furthermore, Black and White Impermanence were outstanding figures among those demons!
Just as Chun Fei's gaze became firm and she was prepared to do something, White Impermanence's figure flashed and pressed all her acupoints like a ghost.
Chun Fei could not resist at all and simply lost consciousness.
"Senior Sist—!"
When Yun Su saw this, she was alarmed. However, before she could do anything, Black Impermanence, who was beside her, pressed her acupoints from high up in the air, causing her to faint as well.
Black and White Impermanence each captured one of the women. Including the two other people they had captured from other palaces, they had a total of four people, satisfying White Impermanence's condition that he had raised in the beginning. Then, they prepared to withdraw.
"Wait…"
White Impermanence suddenly stopped.
Black Impermanence furrowed his eyebrows and said with annoyance, "What is it now? Why do you have so many problems?"
White Impermanence turned his head and looked at the corner of the courtyard. Then, he said, "I almost forgot, Senior Brother, that there was also a eunuch here."
When Black Impermanence heard this, he turned his head, only now realizing this!
This eunuch had no presence. Even though such a major incident had happened, he did not move from the beginning till the end. As a result, Black and White Impermanence almost forgot about him.
"Silence him!"
Naturally, Black and White Impermanence were not merciful people and made their decision even without thinking. Black Impermanence casually raised his leg and kicked towards Lin Ping with might.
Tonight, they had charged into the imperial palace at night, stole secret martial arts records from Wenyuan Pavilion, killed a grade-8 eunuch, and captured an imperial concubine, a princess, and two imperial maids.
The disaster they caused was not a small one.
Of course, they would kill any witnesses who had seen them.
Crack!
Even though Black Impermanence had only casually delivered a kick and did not use the Heavenly Canal Divine Art, from a grade-8 master, a casual kick from high above should have quite an effect. It would even be able to kill a grade-4 or grade-5 soldier…
…let alone a eunuch who seemed to be terrified.
Black and White Impermanence were subconsciously already prepared to leave.
However, the next moment, Black Impermanence stopped in his tracks and sensed that something was wrong. He looked at the corner of the courtyard, and his gaze instantly paused.
The might from his kick had disappeared completely, and there was no response.
However, what was even more bizarre was that Lin Ping, who had been standing at the corner of the courtyard, did not make any movement but had suddenly disappeared.
Even the two of them did not notice this!
"There's another expert!"
Black and White Impermanence had wandered around the Jianghu for many years, and their vision was naturally very refined. Thus, they immediately sensed that something was wrong and simply put down the women in their arms. Then, they were on their guard.
After taking two breaths, the two brothers seemed to have communicated with each other telepathically. They both turned around and worked together to perform the Heavenly Canal Divine Art that crashed towards the area in front of them.
"Die!"
Cold smiles appeared on the faces of Black and White Impermanence.
When the two brothers joined hands, no matter what kind of hidden expert they faced, they would all die!
