Chapter 37: Revenge requires blood, and cutting the grass must be rooted out
Helian Zheng was furious. He made sword gestures with one hand and held a three-barreled musket with the other. He stared at Chen Shi with a gloomy face.

Now, there are eleven bodies lying on the ground in the temple.

There was no one else standing except the two of them.

Chen Shi also faced Helian Zheng and slowly relaxed his palm, and the body of Master Zhao Rui slowly slid down the wall.

The distance that Helian Zheng stood at was extremely clever, just about ten feet away.

For Chen Shi, this distance is close to his fatal limit.

If the distance was farther, it would be difficult for him to arrive in an instant.

——Although he had refined the True Blood and his body was much stronger than before, his speed was not that fast at a distance of more than ten feet, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage. Therefore, this distance of ten feet was the best fighting distance.

The distance at which Helian Zheng was standing made him alert, and he couldn't help but think of another person, Zhuge Jian.

When Zhuge Jian, the magistrate of Buffalo County, was testing him, he also stood at this distance, able to attack or defend.

Helian Zheng had rich combat experience and roughly estimated his attack distance.

The fat god laughed and shouted, "I'm right! He will kill you, all of you! He is an evil god! An evil god that escaped from the underworld!"

Helian Zheng couldn't hear it, and Chen Shi turned a deaf ear to it.

Both of them stared at each other.

At this time, several Jinyiwei rushed into the ruined temple. Seeing the blood and corpses all over the ground, they were shocked and were about to take action. Helian Zheng said coldly: "Don't come in!"

Several Jinyiwei were startled and took back their steps towards the temple gate.

Chen Shi secretly said what a pity. If these Jinyiwei came in, Helian Zheng would be afraid to use magic, and his strength would be weaker than before.

The ancient temple is too small, and the more people come in, the greater Chen Shi’s chance of winning.

If it were just the two of them, Chen Shi would be in danger!

The two men observed the corpses and pools of blood beneath their feet, moved their feet gently, and regulated their breathing.

Suddenly, Helian Zheng shouted loudly, took a step forward, slid forward a distance of ten feet on the breeze, and ran straight towards Chen Shi. With his other hand, he waved the three-barreled musket and smashed it towards Chen Shi's forehead!

The power of the armor and horse talisman on his leg was still there, making him very fast. In addition, he was tall and strong, so his speed was not inferior to Chen Shi at all!
This time, he exerted his strength to the extreme. The three-barreled musket fell down, causing a whistling sound, and it was extremely heavy.

Chen Shi was about to dodge when he suddenly saw Helian Zheng's left hand, which was holding the sword, move slightly. He became alert and immediately raised his hand to meet the three-barreled musket.

An invisible sword energy slashed down from his side, slashing the ground and breaking the bricks and stones!
If Chen Shi dodged, he would just happen to run into this sword energy.

Chen Shi raised his hand to take the three-barreled musket, and his palm was nearly broken. The huge force pressed down and reached his shoulder, and he was able to absorb the power of the hammer.

"boom!"

The three-barreled musket exploded on his shoulder, and the thunderbolt shot out, blasting a big hole in the wall behind him. The catapulted bricks and bullet fragments hit his back, leaving a trail of blood!
Although the shot did not hit Chen Shi, the three-yang thunder sound emitted by the musket made his eardrums ring and he could not hear anything.

Chen Shi tried to grab the musket, but Helian Zheng let go of it and let him take it away.

Chen Shi suddenly had an extremely strong sense of danger, and he held the gun to block in front of him. With a "swish", the three-barreled musket was cut off by an invisible sword energy!
As Chen Shi retreated, he waved the two pieces of musket, dancing like snowflakes, but he heard a continuous hissing sound, and the two pieces of musket broke into pieces.

Suddenly, invisible sword energy hit his body. Even though Chen Shi was moving quickly in the ruined temple, he was still stabbed repeatedly. There were sword marks on his arms, legs, back, chest, neck, and cheeks, and blood soon flowed out from these marks!
Helian Zheng followed closely behind him, controlling the sword with both hands. Invisible sword energy flew out of the shrine. The divine fetus sitting in the shrine also controlled the sword with both hands, making the same movements as Helian Zheng.

"Two-handed sword energy!"

Although Chen Shi couldn't see the direction of the sword energy clearly, he realized that the magic cast by Helian Zheng was different from the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword in the Tianxin Zhengqi Jue.

There are six styles of Ziwu Zhanxie Sword. The six sword moves are very simple, including stabbing, slashing, wiping, picking, clouding and chopping. Although they are simple, they are extremely powerful. They can fly twenty feet and still cut down a tree that two people can hug together.

The magic spell performed by Helian Zheng was also swordplay, but its power was not strong, but the swordplay was extremely exquisite.

He controlled the sword with both hands. The sword energy was only about a foot long at most and did not leave his body. The farthest it could reach was over ten feet away. However, he controlled it with his mind and could fly up and down as he pleased!
This kind of spell should be specially designed for close combat, specifically for dealing with people like him who are strong and thin-skinned!
Suddenly, Chen Shi kicked a corpse and threw it at Helian Zheng. Helian Zheng moved sideways and dodged. At the same time, invisible sword energy also avoided the corpse under his precise control and did not hurt the corpse at all.

When he turned around, Chen Shi was gone.

"He escaped through the hole in the wall!" the fat fortune teller gloated.

Helian Zheng rushed out of the cave with a gloomy face. Although he did not hear the words of the fat fortune-teller, he could see that Chen Shi used the corpse to block his sight and escaped from the temple through the cave.

When he got outside, he heard a lot of hurried shouting. It turned out that Chen Shi was clashing with the Jinyiwei along the way.

Helian Zheng hurriedly chased after him and rushed to a corner, only to see a dead body lying on the ground. It was none other than the Jinyiwei under his command. The chest was sunken and ribs were pierced into the heart and lungs. He must have been hit hard by someone who knelt on his chest and killed him directly.

Helian Zheng continued to chase forward and saw another man lying on the side of the road with a broken neck.

This man had his throat choked and his larynx broken, and then his cervical vertebrae were broken by a punch!
He was furious and continued chasing. When he was out of the village, he saw three corpses along the way.

Outside the village, the Jinyiweis activated their armor and horse talismans, marched at full speed, and rushed towards Chen Shi along the post road.

Chen Shi in front of them was running as fast as he could, without using the Jia Ma Fu, but his speed was even faster than that of a person using Jia Ma Fu!

"No need to chase!"

Helian Zheng called everyone to stop. After a while, the Jinyiwei came back and looked at Helian Zheng. Some were terrified, some were uneasy, and more were extremely angry.

Helian Zheng seemed to have aged a few years suddenly, and shook his head and said, "No need to chase. My fellow brothers, you can go now. Hehe, we failed to provide adequate protection, and the three young masters and six other Zhao family members died here. What are we chasing after? Even if we catch up, can we be exempted from the blame?"

A Jinyiwei said angrily: "Sir! This kid killed six young masters and ladies of the Dong family, and killed so many of our brothers. Are we going to let it go like this? This blood debt must be paid with blood!"

"How much silver does your boss give you a month?" Helian Zheng asked.

The Jinyiwei said, "Seven taels."

"Hey, seven taels of silver a month. Is your life worth only this much?"

Helian Zheng waved his hand dejectedly, saying, "My boss gives me thirty taels of silver a month, and I'm still leaving, let alone you? Let's go our separate ways."

Everyone hesitated, then gradually came to their senses and dispersed.

Helian Zheng did not stop to find out the direction and left.

The Zhao family must be furious as six young rookies died this time. If the Jinyiwei fail to guard well, the punishment will be light, and they may even lose their lives.

Even if they could catch Chen Shi, they could not escape the blame.

What's more, Chen Shi couldn't be caught. Therefore, leaving was the best option.

Helian Zheng was walking while thinking about something. Suddenly he stopped, looked around, looked confused, and walked forward again.

After a while, he stopped again and said with a smile, "Are you Master Chen Shi? You have been following me for a long time, why don't you show yourself to see me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shi walked out from behind a big tree behind him.

Helian Zheng bowed and said with a smile: "Little brother, there are so many Jinyiwei and masters in the temple, but you can kill eleven of them and escape from me. I admire your ability very much. I wonder why you are tracking me?"

"Revenge." Chen Shi said.

Helian Zheng frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Little brother, there has never been any hatred between you and me. I was hired by the Zhao family in the provincial capital to protect the safety of the Zhao family's children. This is my duty. If I have offended you just now, please forgive me. But now I am no longer working in the Zhao family, and I no longer have this responsibility. The hatred between you and me should also be written off."

"Dang Cang."

Chen Shi threw a heavy object over, which rolled a few times on the ground and landed at Helian Zheng's feet.

"Avenge him." Chen Shi said.

Helian Zheng looked closely and saw that it was the musket head of a three-barreled musket.

He was a little confused. Seeing the blood on the musket, he suddenly remembered the farmer whose brain was smashed by his two hammers. He was shocked and said, "Are you going to avenge that farmer? My dear brother, he is just an illiterate country boy. Why would you risk killing me? Is he your relative? Your friend? Or did he do you a favor?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "We are not relatives, nor are we friends. We have no favors. We have just met."

Helian Zheng was relieved and said with a smile: "Since we are just strangers, why should we be so awkward? The road is long, and we may meet again in the future. Why not do this?"

He took out a silver ingot weighing about ten taels from his arms, took a step back, looked up at Chen Shi, and slowly put the silver on the ground.

Helian Zheng's face was solemn, and he said, "Please take this ingot of silver back, and give it to the farmer's wife and children as my compensation. One life, ten taels of silver. In the countryside, it's not a small amount."

He turned and walked forward, but after only ten steps, he stopped and looked back. Chen Shi was still following him, and the silver ingot on the ground was still there.

Helian Zheng could not help but get angry and sneered: "Little brother, don't think I'm afraid of you. You are just a little kid with a little more strength, and your ability is far inferior to mine. It's easy for me to kill you!"

Chen Shi was unmoved and said, "I have been following you all the time. There will always be times when you relax. Even if you take a nap, I can take the opportunity to kill you."

Helian Zheng shuddered and continued to move forward, Chen Shi also moved forward, Helian Zheng stopped, and Chen Shi also stopped.

"This kid is haunting me. How long will he stay with me?"

Helian Zheng suppressed his anger and made secret calculations in his mind.

With Chen Shi's speed, he obviously couldn't catch up, so he could only wait for the moment Chen Shi attacked and kill him with his sword energy!

However, Chen Shi just followed him and did not take any action, obviously waiting for him to let down his guard.

During this period, Helian Zheng has been maintaining the divine fetus in the shrine, and his own true energy has been constantly consumed. If this continues, he will probably be exhausted.

"I'm afraid that's what this little thing is waiting for!"

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Helian Zheng hadn't eaten a single bite of food at noon and was now starving. He turned around and saw Chen Shi still following him, and he couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

"If this boy continues to follow me, it will be dark!"

He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. Looking up, he saw the sky gradually turning red and the sun gradually becoming slender.

The sky finally darkened.

The moonlight was cold and lonely, falling on the world. A strange sound came from the mountains and forests, like a ghost crying.

At this time, huge human heads slowly rose from the woods, absorbing the moonlight and expanding like air as they rose.

There were heads of both old and young, male and female. Some had sparse hair, some had pigtails, some had seductive eyes, and some were bold and capable. They all had strange smiles on their faces, rolling their eyes, staring at the two people walking on the road.

"Hehe." They laughed and floated towards the two of them.

Helian Zheng's scalp tingled. This was the most common kind of evil spirit, called Piao Lu. Every night, the first evil spirit to appear would be Piao Lu.

He was extremely nervous. He walked forward quickly while looking around to avoid being approached by Piao Lu. At the same time, he had to keep looking back to observe Chen Shi's movements.

In just a short moment, he was sweating all over and could hardly hold on any longer.

"Chen Shi is missing!"

He opened his eyes wide and looked back hard, but Chen Shi, who had been following him just now, was now nowhere to be seen!
Just as he was worrying, a floating head came silently above him, opened its mouth, and a long, thin, scarlet tongue hung from its mouth. The other end of the tongue automatically tied a knot and hung behind Helian Zheng's head.

Helian Zheng saw other floating skulls coming towards him and turned around hastily. Just as he was about to quicken his pace, his neck suddenly felt tight and he was lifted up by the floating skull, floating up into the sky involuntarily!

He remained calm in the face of danger and immediately grabbed Piao'er's tongue. The tongue tightened tighter and tighter, making it impossible for him to breathe.

The shrine behind his head shone brightly with divine light, and streams of sword energy flew out, slashing towards his tongue.

At this moment, a figure rushed up like lightning!

Chen Shi rushed towards Helian Zheng in mid-air!
"He used the Jia Ma Fu, and his speed was faster than I expected!"

Helian Zheng was startled and was about to release the last sword energy he had left when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his crotch and was kicked hard in the crotch by Chen Shi.

Chen Shi raised his right hand and inserted two fingers into his eyes, popping his eyeballs. While pulling his right hand back, he half-clenched his left fist and punched straight forward, breaking his larynx.

Then, he grabbed his shoulder with his right hand, used the force to turn around, and slapped his heavy bear paw backwards with a whoosh, hitting the back of his head, causing the occipital bone to sink into his skull!

"It's too fast, there's no time to react!" Helian Zheng thought.

Chen Shi fell from behind him, landed lightly on the ground, and quickly left before Piao Lun surrounded him.

Third from right, die!

Twelve people in the ancient temple died.

Under the moonlight, Piao Lu laughed and flew higher and higher, carrying Helian Zheng's body to an unknown place.
