Chapter 102 Mr. Qingtian
Chapter 102 Mr. Qingtian
The road in front of the manor is not wide, less than two meters, and is paved with bluestone slabs. On one side of the road is the manor, and on the other side is the Qingqu River. Trees and flowers are planted by the river, and the fragrance is overwhelming.
The wealthy businessman from Lingnan was a very particular person. The flowers, plants and trees on the roadside were all planted by the servants in the manor. Whenever a flower withered, the servants would dig it out and bury it, and then plant new blooming flowers instead.
Although they spend a lot of money every day, rich people have money at home.
Suddenly, a pool of blood spilled on the flower bed, and then the broken sword energy flew around, destroying the flowers beyond recognition.
Even some of the valuable trees planted by the river were chopped down.
Fu Leisheng used a bamboo as a spear, poured his true energy into it, and rushed forward. The road prevented him from swinging his spear widely, and if he was not careful, it would touch the houses or trees on both sides.
Moreover, he had learned to use a gun since he was young, but after studying and practicing for a lifetime, he had rarely actually fought, let alone a life-and-death battle.
At this time, the seven-foot-long bamboo was in his hand. On this street, he only used the five most basic moves: stabbing, piercing, lifting, tapping and shaking.
The seven-foot-tall bamboo shook, pushing away the invisible sword energies. Although those sword energies were fast, they were hit by the bamboo spears and either flew upwards into the sky or flew to one side and slashed the wall, leaving deep sword marks, or cut through countless flowers and plants and plunged into the Qingqu River.
The bamboo cannot withstand the cultivator's sword energy, but under the infusion of his golden elixir's ninth-level true energy, it becomes extremely tough. Even if it meets the sword energy, it will only slide out a flash of fire, but cannot be cut off.
"laugh!"
He thrust out with his spear, piercing the heart of a Jindan realm cultivator who was rushing towards Chen Shi.
The Jindan realm cultivator gritted his teeth, his face ferocious, and was about to use magic to fight him to the death, but suddenly Fu Leisheng exerted force from his waist and shook his spear. The man's bones and muscles fell apart, and his body flew out and fell into the river.
After Fu Leisheng stabbed, he put away his gun, stepped forward, and stabbed sideways. When he was still two feet away from the enemy, the tip of the gun had already pierced the enemy's lower abdomen when he stepped forward.
He let go and stepped back, turned around and stepped forward to pick up the gun. The gun tip landed on the ground and suddenly rose up, hitting the man's groin, breaking everything under his crotch.
The man had no strength to resist anymore, and he fell to his knees on the ground.
Fu Leisheng rushed forward, took a step forward more than ten feet, and pointed his spear at the throat of another opponent. The Li family retainer activated magic without hesitation, and the sword energy swept the spear head away. The spear tip swayed, jumped away from his throat, and flashed past his eyes.
The man's two eyes were poked, and he screamed loudly. He didn't care about his companions around him, and released spells indiscriminately, and sword energy flew in all directions.
Fu Leisheng shook his gun, and the first bullet hit the man's shoulder, the second bullet hit the man's head, the third and fourth bullets cut through the joints of his limbs, and then the long gun hit the man's neck, knocking his body to the ground.
His moves were extremely simple, but his skills were evident. He thrust his spear and stabbed, killing several people in a row.
Beside his ears, green bamboos broke through the air, and a series of whistling sounds were heard. In a short moment, Chen Shi advanced twenty feet from the other end of the long street and killed several people with the hatchet in his hand. The Jinyiwei who were holding bird guns had just shown their heads, and before they could fire a shot, they were pierced through the bodies by the green bamboos.
Fu Leisheng had been killing madly, killing several people in a row. He had never killed as many people in his entire life as he had in just a few moments today.
He was furious.
However, the ground was littered with corpses, and corpses kept falling from the sky and hitting his feet. If he was not careful, he would trip.
These are the Li family retainers and Jinyiwei who died at the hands of Chen Shi.
Anyone who can be called a retainer is a master who has cultivated to the Golden Elixir Realm and is qualified to be a retainer.
Another name for the Jinyiwei in the Li family is house servants, because these people are often scholars, and after cultivating to the Divine Embryo Realm they have no chance to make further progress, and they cannot pass the imperial examinations, so they can only be considered Ding.
Even though Fu Lei was filled with rage and came here with the determination to die, wishing to kill everyone immediately, he was still frightened when he saw these corpses.
Too many people died at Chen Shi's hands.
"If we have a banquet, I might just have to sit at the same table with Hei Guo," he thought to himself.
These people often die under the green bamboo.
Chen Shi offered sacrifice to Qingzhu using the stabbing sword style of the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword.
The Ziwu Evil-Slaying Sword is one of the most powerful spells that a cultivator in the Divine Embryo Realm can access. Although this sword technique is said to be the simplest, it has very few variations and has great drawbacks. It is easy for people to detect it and avoid its sword energy.
Moreover, after reaching the Jindan realm, another drawback of the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword will become apparent, that is, it has a power limit.
The upper limit of the power of this spell is that the sword energy can only fly out thirty-six feet. If it exceeds this distance, the sword energy will dissipate.
Chen Shi has reached the Golden Core stage and has achieved the first level of Golden Core. Most cultivators at his level will abandon the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword and turn to practicing other spells.
However, this simplest spell burst out with unimaginable power in his hands. He added true energy to the green bamboo and used the stabbing sword style of the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword to sacrifice the green bamboo with great power.
Even if the opponent is a master in the Jindan realm, he will be knocked off his feet and fall backwards by the huge impact force.
This often means that the person has been pierced through the body by the green bamboo and is dying.
His green bamboo was often used to deal with Li family retainers in high places and the Jinyiwei with bird guns hiding behind the wall.
Standing on a high place and releasing magical powers from a superior position is very disadvantageous to them, so they must be eliminated first.
The Jinyiwei were armed with bird guns, which were more powerful than the three-barreled fire guns. If someone was hit by a bird gun, even if he did not die, he would lose half his life, so he had to be eliminated in advance.
Most of these Jinyiwei were in the Divine Embryo Realm and had not yet achieved the Golden Elixir stage. As soon as they showed up and raised their guns to shoot, they saw a flash of green light, and their guns and their heads were pierced through by the green bamboo, killing them.
A retainer of the Li family stood on the treetop, his body swaying with the branches. He was preparing a spell when he saw Chen Shi's sword pointing at him, and then a green light flashed. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately offered up his golden elixir, risking being struck by thunder.
His golden elixir was made of fire, and the golden elixir force field was extremely hot. The trees under his feet were ignited by the golden elixir force field, and the green bamboo was burned to ashes the moment it entered the golden elixir force field.
The sword energy contained in the ashes still flashed past and pierced into his heart.
The retainer's back exploded, and a finger-sized hole appeared on his chest, but his back was as big as a bowl and was transparent from front to back.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit his golden elixir!
The retainer's body was on fire and he fell down with a thud, landing at Fu Leisheng's feet and almost tripping him.
When the man's body fell, Chen Shi was upside down in the air with his feet on the seven stars, and the hatchet in his hand was slashing the throat of another Li family retainer.
Fu Leisheng stood firm and was about to stab the man with his gun, but the man had already lost his life.
Chen Shi's body movements were extremely strange. The starlight of the Big Dipper kept exploding under his feet and flowing through his body, making him shapeless on this riverside road. Sometimes he walked on the wall, sometimes hung upside down in the air. Front, back, up, down, left and right were all places he could reach.
He was short and had amazing speed. It often took only a moment for him to get to the front. Before the Li family retainers and Jinyiwei could prepare their spells, Chen Shi's hatchet was already in front of them, chopping them down like cutting melons and vegetables!
Fu Leisheng had to rush forward with almost all his strength to pick up an enemy that Chen Shi had missed.
"This kid came to me with his art, no wonder he wrote such a good anti-Chinese article!"
Fu Lei pointed his long spear out, and another Li family retainer's body suddenly grew larger and larger, with golden light shining all over his body. It turned out that he had used the Yellow Turban Warrior Talisman, like a golden-armored god. He was hit in the throat by the tip of his bamboo, but was not broken at all.
Fu Leisheng's spear shook and knocked the man to the ground. His golden elixir made nine changes and the power penetrated into the bamboo, hitting the man on the top of his head. After several consecutive hits, his head was smashed to pieces.
At this time, Chen Shi had killed three people in a row and advanced three meters.
"He's too fast!"
Fu Leisheng hurried to catch up. He had read Chen Shi's 200-word policy essay, which was a rebellious book admitting guilt and accepting punishment. It contained all kinds of strange ideas and misinterpreted the Master's words.
He didn't know where Chen Shi got all this unorthodox knowledge at such a young age, and how he could make it sound so logical and justify himself. He thought Chen Shi was just learning something strange, but he didn't expect this little guy to actually put it into practice!
According to Chen Shi's strange theory, one must learn and practice it from time to time. Once one has learned the skills to kill people, one must use them frequently to live up to what one has learned.
The Li family's Jinyiwei, who were armed with bird guns, had been suppressed by Chen Shi and had to hide behind the wall, unable to raise their heads. All the Li family's retainers on the trees and on the eaves were shot down as well. In a short moment, only three or four green bamboos were left out of the twenty or thirty green bamboos in Chen Shi's fish basket.
"A bunch of trash!"
Mr. Zeng snorted coldly, took a step forward from his horse, passed the group of Li family retainers, and a heavy sense of oppression pressed forward.
"Nascent Soul Realm!"
Fu Leisheng's face suddenly changed, and he rushed forward with all his strength, passing Chen Shi. He used all the strength of the bamboo in his hand to stab Mr. Zeng, and shouted: "Chen Shi, go! You have done your best, you don't have to die here!"
His golden elixir had been refined to an ochre color after nine transformations. The next step would be to transform the elixir into an infant, called a Nascent Soul. However, he could not take this step. He felt that his own Qi and blood were insufficient, and he could not accumulate enough Qi and blood to break through this threshold.
He was therefore well aware of the power of the Nascent Soul, so when he saw Mr. Zeng taking action, he rushed forward without hesitation to block Mr. Zeng for Chen Shi.
Mr. Zeng raised his hand, and before the bamboo could prick his palm, it exploded with a crackling sound!
Fu Leisheng's face suddenly changed. The gap was too big, but he still stabbed forward. The bamboo kept exploding and soon reached his palm!
At this moment, Chen Shi moved with ghostly steps and flashed to his side, swinging the hatchet to chop at Mr. Zeng's wrist!
"Snapped!"
The hatchet exploded, and Chen Shi's knuckles were covered in blood. Just as he was about to swing his fist, he suddenly felt a tightness behind him, and was pulled back rapidly by Fu Leisheng.
Fu Leisheng felt a chill in his heart. The Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm were separated by only one realm, as if they were separated by heaven and earth.
Mr. Zeng is the sky, and they are mortals!
In front of the sky, any mortal can be killed with one move!
Although there was the Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder Attracting Talisman in the sky, which prevented Mr. Zeng from using his Nascent Soul, the gap between the two realms was too great, and he had no strength to fight at all.
"The boss gives you a salary every month and supports you, and this is how you repay the boss?"
Mr. Zeng looked around with a dignified look on his face. He glanced at the Li family retainers and said coldly, "You get paid to do things. If you can't even do things well after taking the money, what's the point of the boss supporting you? We usually ask you to practice, but where have you practiced?"
When he was scolding the Li family's retainers, he never even looked at Chen Shi and Fu Leisheng, as if the two were already fish on the chopping board, ready for him to slaughter.
Mr. Zeng turned around, with his back to Chen Shi and Fu Leisheng, bowed to the carriage, and said, "Madam, Madam, the two thieves have been captured."
Chen Shi wanted to take the opportunity to rush forward and slap the man on the back of the head, but Fu Lei held him tightly and prevented him from getting close.
At this time, a middle-aged man got out of another carriage, passed through the layers of protective light formed by talismans, came to the car of the first and second wives, and knocked on the window.
In the car, a maid opened the window, and the eldest lady's face came close to the window.
The middle-aged man raised his hand and whispered a few words into the lady's ear.
The first wife, Xia Weiyin, showed a look of surprise. Her eyes moved and fell on Chen Shi's face. She said to the second wife, Yan Jingshu, "Sister, I'm afraid you have to put Tianxiu's revenge aside for a while. The master will not allow you to take revenge."
Yan Jingshu was shocked and angry, but she also heard what the middle-aged man said just now. She knew the importance of this matter, so she had to lower her head and said, "Everything is up to sister."
"The master will compensate you."
Xia Weiyin comforted her and said, "Mr. Zeng, please leave. Could this Mr. Fu be the teacher of Wencai Academy? Is your disciple the student who obtained the first-class divine fetus in the literary examination? I have heard about this."
Fu Leisheng's hands were covered in blood and his eyes were almost spitting out anger as he stared at the lady viciously.
Xia Weiyin said, "It's just that you have found the wrong enemy. It was not me, nor was it arranged by the Second Madam, to seize your student's divine fetus. I can make the decision for you and give you justice. Sister Gu, please come out."
Mrs. Gu walked out and knelt on the ground.
Xia Weiyin said indifferently, "Mrs. Gu, tell Mr. Fu the whole story. Tell him the truth."
Mrs. Gu trembled and said, "Yes, ma'am."
She told everything, explaining how she failed to bribe Tian Huaiyi, so she bribed the county magistrate Zheng Shiyun, sent Zheng Shiyun and the yamen runners away, broke into the county yamen at night, killed Tian Huaiyi, opened Shen Yusheng's head, and took away the divine fetus.
Fu Leisheng clenched his hands tightly, digging his nails into the wound, and said sternly: "You are a lady? I don't believe it! Can you kill Huaiyi? Can you deal with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"
Mrs. Gu said, "I have achieved Nascent Soul stage, why can't I kill the examiner?"
She knelt on the ground, a shrine appeared behind her head, and her Nascent Soul floated in front of the divine fetus.
"As for dealing with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it's even simpler. When the master took office as the governor of Xinxiang, he brought with him the Book of Earth of Xinxiang Province. The second page of the Book of Earth is used to control the Ten Thousand Souls Banner of Xinxiang County. It was originally given to the county magistrate to use to limit the power of the county magistrate."
Mrs. Gu lowered her head and said, "I just secretly removed the second page of the Earth Book, and then I could easily suppress the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and use it to kill the examiner..."
Fu Leisheng was completely hopeless. He suddenly burst into laughter and said with tears in his eyes, "You are that noble lady! You are the noble lady who has the final say in Xinxiang County! You are just a servant and running dog of the Li family! My Huaiyi and my Yusheng have been ruined by you, an old dog!"
He kept cursing.
After he had vented his anger, Madam Xia Weiyin said gently, "Mrs. Gu has committed a serious mistake and must be punished. Mrs. Gu, considering your contribution to our Li family, you will commit suicide today. The Li family will not treat your family unfairly."
Mrs. Gu trembled and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Madam, for your great kindness!"
She kowtowed repeatedly, her head and face covered in blood, and said, "I'll leave my family in the care of you, Madam!"
She stood up, turned to look at Fu Leisheng, and suddenly raised her Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul flew out, but a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and instantly turned into ashes.
Mrs. Gu's body swayed and she fell to the ground. Even her soul was shattered and she was no longer breathing.
Xia Weiyin sighed and said, "It's all your own fault. Mr. Fu, is my punishment fair?"
Seeing his enemy executed, Fu Leisheng couldn't hold back his tears. He knelt on the ground and choked up, "Your Majesty has dealt with me fairly. Huaiyi, Yusheng, I have avenged you!"
Xia Weiyin looked at him deeply and said, "Mr. Fu broke the law and killed dozens of people from my Li family. Although he was out of righteous indignation and wanted to avenge his disciples, he still violated the law and killed dozens of people. I can decide to spare the life of this little brother next to you, but you have to pay the price."
She paused and said, "Don't worry, after you die, this matter will be written off and your family will be safe. Mr. Fu, I have already given you justice, and you should give justice to my Li family."
Fu Leisheng kowtowed to the carriage and said loudly: "Your Majesty is truly a great justice in heaven! I have committed many evil deeds, and this is my death as payment!"
He raised his hand to smash his head, but suddenly Chen Shi grabbed his hand.
"Chen Shi, what are you doing?"
Fu Leisheng was furious and said in a low voice, "If I die, you will be safe! Let go!"
Chen Shi tightly grasped his hand, stared at the eldest lady Xia Weiyin, and said in a deep voice: "Don't die yet. This matter was not judged correctly!"
