Chapter 12 The Sufferer
Chen Shi wiped the blood off the knife on his sleeve and looked at the corpses scattered all over the camp with a gloomy face.

"Confucius said, 'Since they have come, then make peace with them. Since your duty is to protect my enemies, then your death is not unjust."

He walked towards Li Xiaoding.

Li Xiaoding could kill him with one spell, but he was not afraid at all. He didn't know where he got the confidence and belief from, and felt that he could definitely kill Li Xiaoding before he cast the spell!
Strangely enough, it was his first time to kill someone, but he didn't feel the slightest fear in his heart. The moment he grasped the hilt of the knife, the only thing in his mind was how to kill his opponent as quickly as possible.

Hei Guo was still squatting beside the table, staring blankly at the bodies that had fallen to the ground, and he hadn't come to his senses yet.

——It couldn't connect the decisive and murderous young man in front of it with its little master at all.

In the past, Chen Shi was a naughty and cheerful boy with no brains, but now Chen Shi is like a killing god!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Chen Shi punched out one punch after another, with every move he made, exerting tremendous force, smashing the golden bell into pieces, and walked up to Li Xiaoding.

He was much shorter than Li Xiaoding, only reaching Li Xiaoding's chest, but Li Xiaoding seemed to be impacted by his momentum. He staggered and sat down on the ground with a thud. He moved backwards with his hands supporting himself on the ground and looked at him in horror.

"Brother, don't, don't..."

Chen Shi grabbed his collar and tried to lift him up, but perhaps because Li Xiaoding was too heavy or Chen Shi had used up all his strength in the fight, he was unable to lift him up.

After all, it was his first time to kill someone, and although he wiped out all his opponents, he didn't realize anything at the time, but now that he thought about it, he only felt a sense of powerlessness.

Chen Shi only felt his hands were a little sore and shaking. He took a deep breath and activated the Three Lights Righteous Qi Technique, and then he felt better.

The battle he had just had seemed clean and efficient, but it was actually extremely exhausting, and it even made him feel hungry and he wanted to eat something.

"Do not kill me!"

Li Xiaoding burst into tears and his crotch was wet.

His realm was higher than Chen Shi's, his true energy was many times more powerful than Chen Shi's, and he had various talismans on him to protect himself, but he was afraid and lost all his fighting spirit.

He was picked up by Chen Shi like a lamb to be slaughtered.

"You took my divine fetus and you still want to live?"

Chen Shi gnashed his teeth and said viciously, "My head was pried open by the expert you hired to take away my divine fetus. You didn't expect me to survive, did you? You should have stabbed a stick into my head and turned my brain into a paste! If you leave me a breath, I will come to seek revenge on you!"

Li Xiaoding was limp all over and his face was pale.

His talent was not good to begin with, and he spent his days eating, drinking and having fun, so he had little time for cultivation. He could never become a divine being, let alone a juren. Even the position of a scholar was purchased by his family.

However, his family members were not worried about this at all, nor did they urge him to study hard, so he was happy and carefree.

Until one day, his uncle brought a fresh divine fetus and told him mysteriously that as long as he transplanted the divine fetus into his shrine, he would immediately become a cultivator at the divine fetus level, pass the imperial examination, and even cultivate a golden elixir to achieve higher achievements!
He asked his third uncle about the origin of the divine fetus. His third uncle just said that he didn't need to ask, as it had been properly handled. So he transplanted the divine fetus with peace of mind.

As expected, he passed the imperial examination successfully, and his reputation as a genius spread, causing other aristocratic families to take notice of him, and even some women from aristocratic families fell in love with him.

But he never expected that Uncle San's behavior was not clean, and the victim did not die. Instead, he developed some evil skills and killed all his Jinyiwei, and even wanted to kill him for revenge!
"Do you know how I have been living these past two years?"

Chen Shi said viciously, "How much suffering have I endured in the past two years? How much injustice have I suffered in the past two years..."

Li Xiaoding suddenly shuddered, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he stammered, "Wait a minute, strong man..."

He felt that it was not appropriate to call Chen Shi, a child of about ten years old, a warrior, but he still said, "Wait a minute, warrior, you had your divine fetus cut off two years ago? But I only transplanted someone else's divine fetus last year! Warrior!"

He said cautiously, yet boldly, "Did you kill the wrong person?"

Chen Shi was about to continue speaking when his heart skipped a beat. The murderous intent in his heart disappeared a little bit. He asked suspiciously, "Are you saying that you transplanted someone else's divine fetus last year?"

Li Xiaoding nodded hurriedly, smiling but not smiling, crying but not crying, and complained: "Last year, after I transplanted someone else's divine fetus, I participated in the provincial examination and became a juren. This is all well documented, you just need to ask around and you will know!"

Chen Shi was stunned, and he loosened his hands and let go of Li Xiaoding.

Li Xiaoding sat on the ground, not caring about the pain, and continued: "If your divine fetus was cut off two years ago, then the person who took your divine fetus was not me, nor was it my Li family. Once the divine fetus leaves the body, it will soon turn to ashes! There is no way your divine fetus can be preserved for a year!"

"Is it impossible?"

Chen Shi was a little flustered, muttering, "You mean to say that you are not the one who took my divine fetus, and I killed the wrong person?"

Li Xiaoding was a little furious: "Not only did you kill the wrong person? Not only did you kill seven of my Jinyiwei, you almost killed me! You also killed Miss Zi'e from the Ding family!"

Chen Shi's face was gloomy and uncertain.

He also heard from Miss Zhao Er and others about Li Xiaoding's participation in the provincial examination and his stunning success. At that time, they speculated that it might be Li Xiaoding who took away Chen Shi's divine fetus. Since then, Chen Shi has regarded this Mr. Li as his mortal enemy.

But now think about it, Miss Zhao Er and the others were just guessing at that time.

"So, I really killed the wrong person..." Chen Shi murmured.

"You killed the wrong person!"

Li Xiaoding was also a little angry and complained, "Why didn't you ask before you took action..." "Tsk——"

A cold light flashed across his neck. Li Xiaoding was stunned. He raised his hand to cover his throat. A gurgling sound came from his throat and he couldn't speak. Then blood continued to gush out.

Blood filled his lungs, causing him to cough continuously, bubbles coming out of the wound in his throat and his mouth.

Chen Shi wiped the blood off the knife on his sleeve and glanced at Li Xiaoding who was still struggling.

"But I didn't kill the wrong person. Even though you didn't take my divine fetus, it was still someone else's divine fetus after all. The genius whose divine fetus you took away didn't have a better life than me. I was able to survive, but he didn't. People like you deserve to die!"

Chen Shi turned around and walked to the table, put the knife into the bookcase, packed up his pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and carried the bookcase on his back, muttering to himself, "I avenged him. It's a pity that we can't kill all those powerful people who took away the future and life of poor children!"

He carried the book box on his back, staggered, his stomach growled, and he was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back.

At this time, a fragrant smell of food came, and Chen Shi followed the smell and found a big pot of food cooking next to a yurt. Li Xiaoding and others didn't know what kind of beast they had killed, so they cleaned it up and put it in the pot to cook. At this moment, the meat was cooked.

Chen Shi lifted the lid of the pot and saw meat in it, a mixture of fat and lean meat with bones in the middle. Bubbles were coming out of the bottom of the pot, and the reddish-brown pieces of meat on top were shaking constantly.

He should have left this place immediately to avoid being discovered and causing trouble, but at the moment he was so hungry that he could not walk, so he simply threw the pot lid aside, held the pot ears with both hands, and brought the pot of meat to the table.

"Boom!"

He put the pot on the table, put down the bookcase, sat on it, reached out for the meat, and ate it in big mouthfuls without caring about the heat. He pulled off the fat and lean meat with a roll of his tongue and spat out the bones with a "puff".

Hei Guo had just woken up from a series of battles and was still trembling, but it was an animal after all, so when it saw the bones on the ground, it hurried to pick them up.

"It's worthless."

Seeing this, Chen Shi chuckled, picked up the pot and poured half of the meat onto the ground, saying, "Eat it, eat quickly, so you can get going when you are full."

Hei Guo got a chill and tried to figure out whether what he meant by "going on the road" was to let him take the blame and die.

But after thinking about it, I realized that the little master probably didn’t mean that, mainly because it was a dog and it couldn’t take the blame, so I ate it with confidence.

One man and one dog, one on the table and one under the table, feasting on the meal.

Soon, they were full. Chen Shi put on the book box and looked around. He was surprised that he did not see the ghosts of Li Xiaoding and others.

"Could it be that Grandpa didn't lie to me, and there really is a power in the underworld that can summon ghosts into the underworld? But, Mr. Zhu, why weren't the three water ghosts summoned into the underworld?"

He called up Hei Guo and prepared to leave the camp.

Chen Shi ate too much meat and felt thirsty. He noticed that the fruits in the basket brought by Zi'e were scattered on the ground. There was a large melon that was not rotten, so he picked it up, punched it open, ate the melon in big mouthfuls, strode out of the camp, carrying the black pot, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

"When it gets dark, the moon rises, and evil things come out, these corpses will no longer exist. No matter how powerful someone is, they won't be able to trace it back to me!"

Not long after, Chen Shi walked out of the forest and saw a wooden cart parked on the side of the road. His grandfather was sitting on the side of the road wearing a bamboo hat, as if he had known that he would come out from here.

Chen Shi was startled and walked forward.

Grandpa raised his hand and threw a few clothes to me, saying, "Change your clothes. There's blood on them and people will track you down."

Chen Shi responded obediently, quickly took off his clothes and put on new ones. He was thinking about how to deal with the bloodstained clothes when suddenly the clothes caught fire and quickly burned to ashes.

Chen Shi knew that it was Grandpa who did it, and secretly praised him: "Confucius said not to look at what is not appropriate. As long as no one sees it, it is not against the law. Grandpa is more authentic. He must have done a lot of bad things in his life!"

However, he couldn't tell whether his grandfather used magic or something else.

The grandfather and grandson sat on the wooden cart. The talismans on the wheels gradually lit up, and the wooden cart rolled along the post road towards Huangpo Village.

"Did you receive any money for being a talisman master this time?"

"Received."

"How much did you charge the victim?"

"Fifty taels of silver, for such a big ingot."

"Here, I'll keep it for you."

"...Grandpa, I want to keep it for myself."

"Children's hands have big gaps, so they can't save money. If you put your five fingers together, will there be gaps? Grandpa's hands don't leak. Give the money to Grandpa, and Grandpa will save it and not spend it carelessly. I will keep it for you to grow up and marry a wife. Will Grandpa be greedy for your money?"

"will not."

Chen Shi handed the silver ingot to his grandfather, looking forward to the good day when he would marry a wife in the future.

——Thanks to the leader of Shanyang Disheng for the reward~
