Chapter 278: Spare Him Under the Blade
"A swindler?"
Aomochen turned his head in confusion, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What exactly are you talking about? How could Lord Li Jiexuan possibly be a swindler?"
At this point, Qingzheng had no way out. With a vicious expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "This guy impersonated an official from Kirigakure. After being exposed, he flew into a rage and killed my subordinate!"
Jintian's corpse lay on the ground, head and body separated it looked extremely convincing…
Hearing this, Aomochen couldn't help but hesitate: Li Jiexuan was clearly a peerless genius from Konoha how could he impersonate an official from Kirigakure?
And recently, there had even been rumors that Li Jiexuan had already died in Sunagakure…
Thinking of this, Aomochen unconsciously lowered his head. He had only caught a brief glimpse from the mountaintop back then could he really have mistaken the person?
Seeing Aomochen lower his head, Qingzheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, just a swindler…
"Men, seize him!"
At Qingzheng's command, dozens of craftsman-ninjas surrounded Li Jiexuan, all kinds of ninja tools pointed straight at him.
"What a bunch of idiots!" Qingzheng had completely ignited Li Jiexuan's anger. Since that was the case, there was no need to hold back any longer.
"Monkey rabbit ox toad chidori!"
The sharp Kusanagi Sword erupted with pale white lightning, shaped like a tree and sounding like the cry of birds, piercing through every craftsman-ninja who came close.
"Zzzzz "
When the Chidori's chirping ceased, more than a dozen corpses lay on the ground…
"Th-this… what kind of monster is this?" Qingzheng's face was filled with terror as he involuntarily staggered backward. He had never seen such a terrifying ninjutsu.
"This time, you've really dragged me into trouble." Aomochen forced a bitter smile. People might be mistaken but that death-dealing white lightning was something he could never forget.
"You mean… he really is that genius Li Jiexuan?" Qingzheng no longer had any of his earlier arrogance. Frightened, he collapsed onto the ground, looking utterly miserable.
"Step… step…"
Gripping the Kusanagi Sword, Li Jiexuan walked toward Qingzheng step by step like the god of death. He didn't mind crushing Qingzheng's spirit before killing him.
"D-don't kill me!" Qingzheng swallowed hard in terror, his legs kicking frantically as he tried to crawl farther away from Li Jiexuan…
But that sword still caught up to his throat…
"Please, don't kill me."
Realizing he couldn't escape, Qingzheng dropped to his knees, crying with snot and tears, kowtowing repeatedly. "I was wrong it was my fault for judging people by appearances, for failing to recognize greatness. Please, show mercy and spare me."
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "You don't even know what you did wrong!"
His mistake wasn't failing to recognize Li Jiexuan but taking out his own fault on someone else. The entire Land of Artisans carried a kind of pathological arrogance…
This kind of arrogance, Li Jiexuan had only seen in one group the Uchiha clan, who were destined for destruction. Even a clan as powerful as the Uchiha had perished because of it. The Land of Artisans wouldn't last much longer either…
Its downfall would begin with Qingzheng!
The Kusanagi Sword slowly descended. Just as it was about to kill Qingzheng, an angry, urgent voice suddenly rang out
"You brat, stop!"
Someone else had arrived?
Li Jiexuan frowned slightly, but the Kusanagi Sword in his hand didn't slow down in the slightest. Instead, it fell even faster, determined to take Qingzheng's life.
This wasn't some drama "spare him under the blade" didn't work here…
