Free Web NovelIn the dead of night.
Ziyang Prefecture City was silent, like a vast beast silently crawling under the moonlight.
"Dry weather!"
"Beware of fire!"
On the empty streets, the slightly hoarse voice of the night watchman echoed.
Recently, Ziyang Prefecture had not been peaceful at night, and even the number of patrolling constables had increased significantly.
However, compared to the vast city, it was ultimately a drop in the bucket.
Luo Yao changed into night clothes and roamed the city.
She heard from her Senior Brother who returned that the Fu City was conducting the Rain Listening Pavilion's Wu Jian Trial.
In addition to the participants of the trial killing each other, there were also many people taking advantage of the chaos and fishing in troubled waters.
That's why she deliberately came out at night to act as a righteous hero.
After all, assassins prefer to act at night.
However...
"Miss Luo."
"I have been waiting here for a long time."
As she passed through a small alley, a voice came from within.
In the darkness, a thin figure seemed to have been standing there all along, or perhaps he appeared out of thin air.
He looked emaciated, and the black robe covering him was blown tightly against his body by the night wind.
"A Qi Blood Realm cultivator, not even near the Burning Jade Forest, yet daring to flaunt a Mystic Weapon in public. I thought you had a Master accompanying you."
"Unexpectedly, you really snuck out."
The man's voice became increasingly ethereal.
As his words fell, a chilling wind seemed to blow around, making one ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their scalp tingled.
"Night Ghost Liu Heng?!"
Luo Yao recognized the person and was instantly shocked, her face losing all color.
The Night Ghost School, a single lineage.
This was due to the strange Cultivation Technique, which required a special bone structure. Practicing the Night Ghost School's martial arts would result in an emaciated appearance, an inhuman look, and an eccentric temperament.
Moreover, his power significantly decreased during the day but greatly increased at night.
The previous Sect Leader of the Night Ghost School, Liu Heng's Master, died during the encirclement in the Burning Jade Forest.
"I love eating children the most."
"Especially, young ones like you in the prime of youth..."
"My father can kill your Master, so I'm not afraid of you either!"
In her fear, Luo Yao actually made the first move.
The Junzi Brush in her sleeve was like a cold star, as fast as lightning, capable of piercing even refined iron.
However, just as she thought she had succeeded.
Liu Heng's figure in front of her dissipated like an afterimage.
"Fake?!"
"Hehehehe... Your Purple Star Eyes are still not fully trained."
An owl-like voice came from all directions.
The sound waves alone sent Luo Yao flying backward, rolling several times on the ground. Her spotless brocade clothes immediately became covered in mud.
Moreover, her hand suddenly felt a sharp pain, and the Junzi Brush was lost.
"As expected of a Mystic Weapon."
"The Judge should like it very much..."
Liu Heng toyed with the Junzi Brush before putting it into his embrace.
He unhurriedly blocked the moonlight with his back and walked towards Luo Yao.
He loved to admire the expressions of heroic figures with dignified appearances just before they died.
Would this young girl cry and beg for mercy?
Or would she pay money for her life?
Or perhaps... would she threaten him?
"Ugh...."
Luo Yao's face was pale, her pupils filled with despair.
She was both regretful and unable to comprehend.
Is the Jianghu really so treacherous?
The other party was clearly an Inner Breath Xuan Dan Realm cultivator, so why would he shamelessly attack her, a Qi Blood Realm cultivator? Isn't this bullying the weak!
When she was at home, she had never felt such pain...
Was she going to die?
The young girl cried, her tears flowing like pear blossoms after a spring rain:
"I don't want to die..."
"Hehehe...."
"In the hands of such an ugly monster, sob sob sob...."
Liu Heng's laughter abruptly stopped.
He hated it most when others called him ugly, even though he was indeed ugly.
Lies don't hurt people, the truth does....
"You're looking for death!"
He lost his desire to toy with her and prepared to take Luo Yao's life with a single palm strike.
At the critical moment.
Boom—
Was that thunder?
No, it was the sound of air exploding.
A dark stream of light, like a divine punishment, or a meteor falling from the sky, crashed down.
The powerful wind pressure almost made it difficult to breathe.
"Who?!"
Liu Heng used his old trick again, his figure disappearing from his original spot.
After he dodged it, the dark light also stopped, revealing the person's figure.
He was tall and slender, wearing a bronze Azure Dragon head. The dark light just now was actually a short-handled small hammer in his palm.
A Mystic Weapon!
"Your Excellency must also be a friend from the Dao."
"Since that's the case, let's share the spoils. Give me this young girl's life, and everything else is yours, how about it?"
Liu Heng's pupils flickered as he spoke.
"Isn't the Wu Jian Trial about fighting to the death upon meeting?"
The man with the Azure Dragon head chuckled.
"One must choose opponents based on strength. Your Excellency is powerful; perhaps we will even be colleagues in the future. Why should we resort to weapons?"
Liu Heng said with full sincerity.
"Alright, let's do as you say. Come on."
The Azure Dragon head nodded twice slightly, seemingly agreeing to his terms.
Step—
Liu Heng was halfway there.
Suddenly, a chilling wind surged under his robes, and he struck out fiercely.
And what greeted him was a hammer overflowing with murderous Qi.
"I knew you weren't honest!" x2
Li Mo smashed his hammer onto the other's claw, causing sparks to fly from the hammer's edge.
Liu Heng's figure was sent flying backward and then disappeared again. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Immediately after, his voice resonated from all directions:
"Hehehehe, so you haven't even reached the Jade Liquid Realm."
"You dare to fight me, transcending two realms, simply by relying on a Mystic Weapon and body tempering?"
"It's night now!"
Numerous ghost shadows swept in, accompanied by a chilling wind. Liu Heng's figure seemed to waver with his voice.
However, the pair of eyes beneath the Azure Dragon head closed at this moment.
When he raised his hammer again, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.
After training in Shang Wu's domain, he no longer needed to rely on his eyes to see.
He could find the opponent simply by sensing their killing intent.
And so.
The hammer passed through layers of ghost shadows and landed slowly and firmly on a certain ghost shadow.
Boom—
Liu Heng's expression hadn't even had time to change.
This unavoidable hammer strike turned him into a bloody mist.
This hammer strike, with its concentrated force, smashed Liu Heng to pieces without even damaging a single brick or tile.
"You, you should have just acted earlier."
"You just love to play cat and mouse..."
Li Mo's words were cut short when he suddenly remembered.
When he played games before, even with a huge advantage, he didn't like to push the crystal. He preferred to trap the opponents in their spawn...
Emmmm.
Why did he suddenly understand what the villain was thinking?
"You... who are you?"
"If you're going to kill me... then let me... die knowing why."
A certain little mouse's trembling voice revealed her fear.
"You can call me Northwest Hammer King."
Li Mo casually picked up the Junzi Brush, glanced at it, and then threw it into the girl's arms.
"You're not going to kill me?"
"If you don't leave now, I'll hammer you to death."
Li Mo threatened.
He didn't know how to evaluate this young girl anymore.
Please, do I not look like a bad guy?
You have a chance to run, why are you still asking questions?
"Thank you... but I haven't heard of you. Which School are you from?"
"Hard as a rock." frёewebηovel.cѳm
"I'll remember that. I'll repay you..."
Luo Yao ran a few steps, then turned back:
"Oh, by the way, do you know where Luo Yu of Burning Jade Forest is?"
"At the Fu City government office."
A black line appeared on Li Mo's forehead.
"Thank you, you're quite a good person."
Luo Yao finally left.
And not long after she left.
Another cautious figure slipped into the alley.
"You're not done yet..."
Li Mo thought it was Luo Yao returning.
But as soon as he looked over.
He saw a Little beggar with very clean clothes, scurrying into the alley like a little mouse.
She carried a basket on her back, her eyes still wrapped in rags. Her basket contained miscellaneous items, and she was holding a section of a tree branch in her arms.
She raised her head, and he seemed to feel the caution in the white eyes behind the cloth strips.
"Um... do you have anything you don't want...?"
Li Mo: "....."
