Chapter 404 Suddenly
Chen Er knew he absolutely could not let this man escape right under his nose. If he captured Zhang Tianhe today and reported it to the Emperor tomorrow, even if the Wang family and Wei Zhongxian were in cahoots, they would probably have some reservations.
Moreover, although Wei Zhongxian held great power in the court, he still had to be wary of the emperor's feelings. Faced with Chen Er's sudden sneak attack, Zhang Tianhe immediately sneered. This was not the first time Zhang Tianhe had undertaken an assassination mission.
So Zhang Tianhe already had his own experience, but today, for the first time, Zhang Tianhe was intimidated by a corrupt official. Chen Er actually took the initiative to attack him, and this corrupt official didn't seem afraid of him at all. This was simply because he didn't take Zhang Tianhe seriously.
"Chen Er, you're courting death, so don't blame me for being impolite. I didn't expect you to be such a tough nut to crack. But since you've met me today, you're destined to die here." After Zhang Tianhe finished speaking, he didn't hesitate for a second any longer.
Zhang Tianhe swung his weapon in mid-air in a semi-circular shape, aiming it at Chen Er's head. If this move could accurately pierce Chen Er's head, no matter how powerful Chen Er was, he would die on the spot.
Chen Er could clearly feel a strange wind in the air, and he instinctively rolled over on the ground. Before Zhang Tianhe could react, Chen Er delivered a beautiful sweeping leg kick to Zhang Tianhe.
At this moment, Zhang Tianhe and Chen Er were fighting. Zhang Tianhe was increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. This was the first time Zhang Tianhe had encountered such a powerful first-rank official. Moreover, Chen Er had reached the first-rank position at such a young age. Only a fool would believe that Chen Er did not have any real ability.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhe had to take Chen Er seriously once again. After Chen Er swept his leg across, Zhang Tianhe touched the ground with both feet and jumped over as if his body was on springs. However, Chen Er was not about to let Zhang Tianhe go.
Chen Er instinctively grabbed Zhang Tianhe's ankle, startling Zhang Tianhe. Zhang Tianhe instinctively used his weapon to brace himself, otherwise he would have been thrown to the ground. However, Chen Er wore a smug smile.
"Zhang Tianhe, don't be arrogant in front of me. Today is your death day. Those who don't cooperate with me will go to hell." Chen Er's voice was extremely cold, and he made no attempt to hide his anger towards Zhang Tianhe.
Chen Er hated nothing more than the collusion between江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people from the martial arts world) and corrupt officials. What was most ridiculous was that Chen Er always cared about the common people and was willing to go to any lengths to fight against these corrupt officials for their sake.
But now, that damned Zhang Tianhe actually called himself a corrupt official, which was an insult to Chen Er. Chen Er subconsciously used his ankle to sweep at Zhang Tianhe's weapon. The reason why Zhang Tianhe did not fall to the ground in the air was entirely because he had this weapon as a support.
Zhang Tianhe hadn't expected Chen Er to resort to such despicable means at this critical juncture. After Chen Er's ankle brushed against the weapon, Zhang Tianhe lost his balance and plummeted from the sky.
A wicked smile appeared on Chen Er's lips. After Zhang Tianhe rolled on the ground, Chen Er quickly ran up to Zhang Tianhe. At this moment, Zhang Tianhe no longer had the arrogant demeanor he had just displayed. His long hair was waving wildly in the air. Zhang Tianhe also rolled on the ground.
Zhang Tianhe subconsciously touched the blood on his cheek with his palm, then smeared the blood on his lips and stuck out his blood-red tongue to lick it with a chilling lick.
Zhang Tianhe then glared fiercely at Chen Er: "Chen Er, you are really good. It seems that everyone underestimated you from the beginning. But you must die today. People who dare to oppose the Wang family never have a good ending."
After Zhang Tianhe finished speaking, he rushed towards Chen Er with his bare hands.
This time, Zhang Tianhe was truly enraged. Every attack put immense pressure on Chen Er. However, Chen Er was not one to be trifled with. He immediately focused his attention on the weapon on the ground. Without any hesitation, Chen Er reached for the weapon.
But how could Zhang Tianhe give Chen Er this chance? "Don't be so arrogant, you dog official. You'd better leave your dog life behind."
Zhang Tianhe was like a gust of wind; he was a few meters away from Chen Er, but in the next breath, he was in front of Chen Er in no time.
At that moment, Chen Er stepped on the weapon with his foot. With a sudden exertion of force, the weapon flew up. Zhang Tianhe knew something was wrong; Chen Er was about to take the weapon. How could Zhang Tianhe allow Chen Er to take the weapon?
Moreover, this weapon belonged to him. Just as Chen Er was about to grab the weapon flying in the air, Zhang Tianhe rushed over and a huge fist kept enlarging in Chen Er's pupils.
Chen Er knew that Zhang Tianhe's punch contained considerable power, and Chen Er subconsciously stepped back.
However, Zhang Tianhe's speed and strength were like those of a wild beast. As Chen Er kept retreating, Zhang Tianhe had already run up close to Chen Er's body, and his knee slammed into Chen Er's chin.
Chen Er subconsciously used both hands to support the body opposite him, like a parallel wooden stick, and barely managed to dodge Zhang Tianhe's attack. However, Zhang Tianhe directly grabbed one of Chen Er's legs and slammed it to the ground. Chen Er was startled. He did not expect Zhang Tianhe to be so fierce.
Zhang Tianhe even considered banging his head against the ground. But even if it were his own head, no matter how hard it was, if Chen Er's head collided with the ground, what difference would it make? It would be like an egg hitting a rock. So Chen Er immediately became furious.
While Zhang Tianhe was grabbing his ankle, Chen Er instinctively bent down and pulled out a dagger from his ankle. He then slashed at Zhang Tianhe's neck. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Zhang Tianhe never expected that this first-rank official would be carrying a dagger.
Moreover, the dagger was placed at his ankle. Zhang Tianhe saw a dagger in the air, carrying a sharp, cold wind, slashing towards his neck. Zhang Tianhe swallowed hard and felt his scalp tingle slightly.
