035 Flying Stone Showdown
Zhang Qingde's Adam's apple bobbed, but he dared not utter a single word.
"Since County Lieutenant Zhang has no objections, please accompany me to the city's garrison camp to mobilize troops and kill the bandits!"
He was like a puppet, being led by Li Qijue to the military camp to mobilize troops, daring not to resist in the slightest.
If you anger the people of the Suppression of Rebels Division, they will be executed first and reported later. This special permission granted by the emperor is not just empty talk.
Ning Kui didn't delay at all. After entrusting his wife and other family members to Magistrate Yun's care, he led the constables out the door in a hurry.
Now, Lin Wenlong was sitting in the courtroom, ignored by everyone.
However, he did not care about Zhang Qingyi's death, nor did he care about being stripped of power.
He calmly and leisurely savored the white tea, a specialty of Yugu County.
Next year's tea will probably taste fishy and won't be as good as this year's.
The raging fire in the eastern part of the city has turned half the sky red, and the cries of despair are heart-wrenching.
The child cried and shook his mother, who lay motionless in a pool of blood.
The wife struggled to reach out to her husband, but the bandits forced his head down and opened his eyes, making him watch his beloved being violated.
The bandits were in a frenzy of killing; they were like the masters of everyone.
The long sword in his hand can decide the life or death of everyone!
This supreme feeling is so wonderful!
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
A girl, her clothes torn up to her shoulder, retreated to a corner, crying. Two bandits, their eyes gleaming with lust, approached her while laughing maniacally.
The girl looked at the pebbles at her feet in despair, then suddenly gritted her teeth, picked one up, and slapped it hard on her forehead.
She would rather die than be insulted by these beasts.
However, the blow did not land on her forehead; instead, a steady and powerful hand grabbed her wrist.
She opened her eyes in terror, thinking she had fallen into the hands of river bandits.
Fortunately, all she saw was a young man in a black robe with blood all over his face.
Dozens of constables behind him drew their swords and rushed forward, quickly chopping the two notorious river bandits into mincemeat.
"Don't be afraid, we will save you."
From now on, the bandits have only one option: to flee to the city gates. They will never again venture into the city.
I promise."
Ning Kui stood up, and as he did, several huge water dragons rose from the moat, easily extinguishing the raging fire.
"Fish Valley County constables, listen to my command! Anyone who encounters the river bandits and refuses to surrender will be executed!"
Kill an ordinary river bandit and you will be rewarded with three taels of silver!
Kill a pirate in the Refining Skin Realm and receive a reward of ten taels of silver!
Kill a bandit in the Flesh Refining Realm, and receive a reward of fifty taels of silver!
A reward of five hundred taels of silver will be given for killing a Bone Refinement Realm bandit!
Having witnessed the people's suffering firsthand, the constables, upon hearing this, retorted as if insulted, "Lord Ning, don't look down on us! We are all from Yugu County."
Even without the reward, we won't let these beasts get away!
"Absolutely! Absolutely! Let's go and kill the enemy!"
These flesh-and-blood constables were indeed following the orders of Magistrate Lin, but in their hearts, which one of them didn't want to protect their hometown?
With high morale, the constables, led by Ning Kui, slaughtered the river bandits as easily as killing dogs wherever they went.
In the eyes of countless devastated and desperate people, they were no different from heavenly soldiers and generals!
"Heh, what do you think that kid is pretending for?"
The man in black robes said in a high-pitched, monkey-like voice, "If he hadn't been pretending, I wouldn't have bothered with this ant."
"Now, let's reward him with a golden pill."
The black-robed man's companions all showed pitying mockery, as if they were laughing at an ant that had been killed by a god for performing too well.
"Is Young Master Yuan going to make a move again? Then I'll move the Floating Light Mirror elsewhere."
The black-robed man, speaking with the gentle tone of a scholar, made hand seals and gestures, and the magical artifact, the Floating Light Mirror, which had been recording the horrific scenes of the people being tortured and killed, was moved to the rear.
There, families like the Ding, Zhu, and Lin, who worship evil spirits, are performing a righteous act of sheltering fleeing civilians!
With the "protection" of evil spirits, ordinary river bandits "dare not" to trespass in the slightest!
This stands in stark contrast to the incompetent government that allowed the people to be massacred.
With the Mirror of Light in hand, they could make the emperor and his court officials see whatever they wanted, and those high-ranking nobles could only see that much.
"call out!!!"
The pure gold bullet was fired at high speed, as fast as a falling star, even causing the air to explode into a funnel-shaped white sonic boom cyclone.
This strike exceeded the speed of sound.
This is the "Silent Arrow," a secret technique of the Yuan family in Sichuan. Ordinary people would probably have to wait until they die to hear the deadly sound of the golden arrow piercing the air.
Unaware of all this, Ning Kui continued to fight the enemy with all his might.
The bandit in front of him was a martial artist who had reached the minor stage of the Flesh Refining Realm. Ning Kui cleaved half of his body in half with his halberd, but he was still able to stuff his internal organs back in and continue to escape while clutching his stomach.
Just as he was about to spur his horse to catch up and behead him, an immense and unparalleled impact suddenly came from the back of his head.
With a loud "clang!", it sounded like a cannonball hitting the wrought iron armor.
Ning Kui immediately fell off the big black horse.
"Down! Down!" The man in black robes laughed loudly, reaching out his palm to grab the golden ball.
This is the weapon he has been practicing day and night, supplemented by his family's secret techniques, and can be taken back at will.
"Um?"
His smile froze; Kanemaru had gone missing...
Ning Kui, who was surrounded and protected by a group of constables, grimaced in pain. He reached up and touched the back of his head; the feeling was all too familiar.
The Flying Stone Technique of the Long-Armed White Ape!
If he hadn't already mastered the "Qi and Blood Immortal Robe," which allows his entire body's Qi and blood to autonomously converge and defend against attacks, he wouldn't be able to do so.
When one's vital energy and blood are abundant, no evil force can penetrate one's defenses.
Relying solely on the dragon scales of the Great Perfection realm, one cannot escape the fate of having one's head blown off.
"No wonder even Li Qijue is so envious of the 'Qi and Blood Condensing Immortal Robe' realm; it can truly save your life."
Unless the opponent's cultivation level is several levels higher than yours, it's absolutely impossible to be instantly killed!
Pang Hu, his fat face full of anxiety, approached and asked, "Lord Ning, are you alright?!"
Zhao Quji also knelt beside him, leaning on his knife, constantly checking Ning Kui's injuries.
Now is the time to unite as one to fight the bandits, and Ning Kui, as their backbone, cannot be lost.
"I won't die! That damn bastard dared to snipe me! He picked the wrong opponent!"
He clutched the golden ball that wanted to fly back to its master in his hand, a ferocious smile on his face.
In just half a day, even he himself couldn't remember how many people he had killed.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the Temple of the Sea of Consciousness.
The data on the stone tablet, which was slanted like a broadsword under the old tree, had indeed changed dramatically.
[Yin Qi Point: 1200]
Compared to when he broke through, his skill level increased by a full 800 points, which is equivalent to 80 people in the Skin Refining Realm.
He killed far more people than that, but most of the bandits were just ordinary people who were forced into banditry because they had no food.
Having 800 points is already a pleasant surprise.
"【Flying Stone】Ability, Evolve!"
He immediately evolved his minor [Flying Stone] supernatural power into a major one.
The features section has undergone new changes as a result.
[Minor Supernatural Power: Flying Stones (Mastery), Progress (1000/10000)]
[Special Feature: After locking onto a target, the projectile will automatically correct its trajectory and track the enemy before its kinetic energy dissipates or it is shattered. At its maximum potential, it can throw objects with ten times its own strength.]
After learning about the effects of the [Flying Stone] technique at its peak, Ning Kui's eyes flashed with a vicious, cold light.
come on!
A sniper duel at the middle gate!
