Creation of the Universe

"Shen Zhan, do you know how much your head is worth now?"

One person stepped forward and spoke eagerly.

"It must be a good price to get people like you to come all the way here to die."

Shen Zhan replied.

"Hmph, let me tell you this. If we cut off your head today and send it to the Jinning Prince's Palace, the Queen will naturally let us enjoy all the glory and wealth, and we won't have to work for our lives anymore!"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

They actually laughed triumphantly in front of Shen Zhan, as if they had already held Shen Zhan's head in their hands.

Seeing how ignorant these people were, Shen Jingjuan spoke first before Shen Zhan could speak: "You bunch of losers are no match for Shen Zhan. I am Shen Jingjuan, the Princess of Anping. Some of you should know me, right?"

Several people who had met Shen Jingjuan nodded in confusion.

What surprised them was why Shen Jingjuan was staying with Shen Zhan. The news they received was that Shen Zhan killed the prince Shen Jingming, who was Shen Jingjuan's brother. In this case, shouldn't the two be mortal enemies?

Shen Jingjuan didn't care about that. She scolded directly, "Don't waste time here. Go back and report to my mother. Tell her that Kong Shang, one of the eight guards, has been killed by Shen Zhan. Shen Zhan's strength cannot be underestimated now. Tell her to send another expert to match him!"

"Huh? This..."

These words shocked everyone present even more. From their point of view, it seemed that Shen Jingjuan was threatening the Queen Mother, and proudly declared that Shen Zhan was extremely powerful, and despised them as trash!

Shen Jingjuan's appearance was beyond their expectations. When these assassins received the mission, they had not heard that Shen Jingjuan would be with Shen Zhan, so they were a little at a loss at this time. If they really had to fight, would they even kill Shen Jingjuan?

The assassins tacitly assumed that Shen Jingjuan and Shen Zhan were in cahoots, which made them inevitably cautious.

Shen Zhan saw through their thoughts, so he deliberately said, "If it weren't for the princess's blessing, I wouldn't have had the chance to kill Kong Shang. When this news spreads across the country, I, Shen Zhan, will surely become famous."

After saying this, he laughed a few times with great pride.

This made the assassins even more convinced that Princess Shen Jingjuan was definitely on Shen Zhan's side, which also caused different opinions among them.

"What should we do? The princess is here too, should we take action?"

"Of course we have to do it. As long as we kill Shen Zhan, the Queen will promise us wealth and glory. Are we going to miss such a great opportunity in vain? If you don't do it, I'll do it myself!"

"But what about the princess? Kill her too?"

"The Queen didn't say that the princess was on Shen Zhan's side. If she doesn't get in our way, then let her be."

The group argued for a while, but ultimately could not resist the temptation of the bounty and sharpened their knives, aiming at Shen Zhan.

Shen Jingjuan realized that she seemed to be being used by Shen Zhan, and quickly explained: "You stupid losers, don't you understand what I am saying? I told you to go back and report to the queen and send more experts!"

"Princess, why do you always look down on us? Aren't we considered experts?"

A dark and strong man with a full beard asked in a very unconvinced manner.

"Who are you to speak to this princess in such a tone?"

Shen Jingjuan said angrily on the spot.

This scene caused Shen Zhan to laugh, "It seems these people have no chance to help you send a message back."

Before he finished speaking, the sword was unsheathed.

The cold light on the sword's edge made Shen Jingjuan feel a chill on her neck. She consciously retreated to the back, but did not intend to escape in the chaos, because she knew very well that it would not take Shen Zhan too much time to deal with this group of people.

She wanted to seize the opportunity to escape, but it was too late.

"Boom!"

Shen Zhan drew his sword and swept it across, showing an unstoppable momentum from the first move. The weapons in the hands of these assassins were broken in half by the power of his sword.

They were all stunned and looked at the sword in Shen Zhan's hand, but they didn't see anything special.

In other words, a sword that is so ordinary that it cannot even be classified into a certain grade can actually possess such powerful power. This can only show how powerful the owner of this sword is.

After a night of rest, although Shen Zhan's injuries were not healed, he was still more than capable of dealing with these assassins in front of him.

He swung his sword, and wherever the sharp blade swept past, someone would bleed on the spot. This unstoppable momentum made people feel terrified.

"Why is he so powerful?"

"No, we are no match for them. The most important thing is to escape!"

Although they are death warriors, when their lives are at stake, their first choice is still to save their own lives. When one person starts to fear fighting, it will lead more people to make the same choice.

However, Shen Zhan did not intend to let them run away like this. He used his own spiritual power to activate the sword energy. After leaping into the air, he swung out a thousand-foot-long light. In an instant, countless sword energies rushed towards these people.

As screams rang out, these assassins were killed one after another. They wanted to take Shen Zhan's head and claim the reward, but they eventually died under their greed.

Shen Zhan sheathed his sword and was about to continue moving forward when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a large ship appearing on the river not far away.

His eyes lit up and he knew that he was lucky this time. If he could get on the ship, he could save a lot of time and trouble. However, he would have to try to make the ship owner trust him and agree to let them get on board.

Shen Zhan told Shen Jingjuan, "Hurry up, we need to stop the boat on the bridge ahead."

After saying that, Shen Zhan turned around and suddenly realized that there was a powerful spiritual power behind him, approaching here quickly.

Shen Jingjuan was secretly delighted, because she could feel that the people who came back this time were not those incompetent trash, but Xie Qi who had originally worked with Kong Shang.

So, Shen Jingjuan deliberately stood still, wanting to slow down time and wait for Xie Qi to arrive, but her intention was immediately seen through by Shen Zhan.

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you!"

Shen Jingjuan had no choice but to do as he was told. However, at this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from Shen Zhan's ears, and a dragon-imprisoning stick hit him hard right next to his nose.

If Shen Zhan had not reacted in time, the consequences of this stick hitting his head would have been unimaginable.

As expected, Xie Qi chased here. Shen Zhan realized that he had underestimated this tall man. After the two of them kept their distance, they confronted each other with weapons in hand.

"Your cultivation level is obviously lower than mine, so how could you kill my fourth brother? Tell me what insidious means you used?"

Shen Jingjuan hurriedly said, "It was sword energy. A ray of green sword light blocked three thousand soul-stealing nails. I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Green sword light?"

Xie Qi frowned and looked at Shen Zhan who was standing with a sword.
