Chapter 73: Deterrence

Views:

"Pang Jian, look at what you have done!"

Han Duping came to his senses, turned his head and glared at Pang Jian, and cursed indignantly: "Such an upright boy Zhou, how could he become what he is after being led astray by you?"

After cursing, he quietly put away the bag of poison powder in his sleeve and rushed forward.

Pang Jian was stunned.

I thought to myself, wasn't it you who told Zhou Qingchen not to hold back and to do whatever it took? How could it be blamed on me

Thinking of this, Pang Jian also wanted to pick up his spear and join the battle, but he was stunned for the second time.

“Wow!”

The breastplate on Zhou Qingchen's chest suddenly emitted a blindingly strong light, shining accurately onto the man's face.

The man held his breath and closed his eyes to prevent himself from being infected by the poisonous powder.

Enduring the numbness and stinging pain on his skin, he finally rushed out of the range of the poisonous powder. When he suddenly opened his eyes, he saw a strong light suddenly piercing towards him, and then he could see nothing.

"Fuck you!"

He cursed with tears in his eyes and tried to block with his hands, but was killed by Zhou Qingchen, who was at a much higher level, with a single blow to his stomach.

When Han Duping arrived, Zhou Qingchen had already drawn his knife and pushed the man's body to the ground.

"this… "

Su Meng widened her eyes and stared at Zhou Qingchen blankly.

She thought to herself, wasn't she the one who used the dazzling light from the heart-protecting mirror in the house before? Why would Brother Zhou learn from her

Jiang Li was worried about Zhou Qingchen's safety. When she saw him kill a man cleanly and neatly, her eyes became a little strange when she relaxed.

—This is not quite the same as her impression of Zhou Qingchen.

Luo Hongyan, who was standing next to him, glanced at Pang Jian strangely with her bright eyes, then shook her head without saying anything.

"Senior Sister Jiang, I'm not usually like this. Uh, this method was taught to me by Pang Jian recently."

When Zhou Qingchen turned around, he saw Jiang Li's strange look. Like a child who had done something wrong, he blushed and explained guiltily: "I'm worried that you and Su Meng will be affected, so I want to solve the problem quickly."

Jiang Li smiled subtly and nodded gently, telling him not to mind it.

Zhou Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Jiang Li would look down on him and say that he won unfairly.

“How despicable!”

Li Jie shook his head, staring blankly at Zhou Qingchen, and then said with contempt: "It's not like we can't beat you, why do this?"

"mean!"

"He has the cultivation level of Xisui Realm, but he is fighting against someone at Tongmai Realm, and he even uses poison to attack him!"

"Kill these unruly bastards!"

According to Luo Hongyan, Zhou Qingchen, who was deliberately showing his strength, did not have time to say a word to Jiang Li before he found that everyone at the back door of the City Lord's Mansion became indignant.

His deterrence seemed to have accidentally caused public outrage.

"Oops! I've done more harm than good."

Han Duping no longer cared to scold Zhou Qingchen. When he saw several more people rushing towards him in anger, his face suddenly changed.

The first man to come was tall and broad, with bulging muscles all over his body, as hard as rock.

He loudly encouraged the morale of the crowd.

"Kill them first, especially those three girls, they all seem to be in Tongmai realm!"

"Everyone, please pay attention. Only the boy with the knife has reached the level of Marrow Cleansing. If they die, there may be no need for additional sacrifices!"

This person's instigation ignited the anger of the crowd, and several more people came over with murderous eyes.

Zhou Qingchen's victory was due to his poison fans, and his outstanding combat power was not fully demonstrated, so they were not afraid.

Soon, more than a dozen people left the tragic battlefield, ready to pick the weak ones first and kill Jiang Li and the other two as soon as possible.

"call out!"

A spear like a flaming meteor, carrying an explosive and scorching heat, stabbed towards him in an instant.

The man who had been constantly instigating and provoking others suddenly had a hideous bloody hole on his muscular chest.

He lowered his head slightly, staring at the horrific charred bloody hole on his chest in disbelief, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"Pang Jian!"

Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping suddenly screamed.

Their eyes blurred and they saw Pang Jian quickly passed them and pulled out the bloody spear when he reached the corpse.

Pang Jian took the dragon-patterned spear and shook the spear lightly. As blood splattered, it pierced into the rushing crowd like a sharp arrow.

The bloodthirsty spear stabbed and struck nimbly, bringing out beautiful, crimson blood flowers.

Several practitioners who were at the same level as him were killed by the bloodthirsty spear, with their chests or necks pierced through.

Those who make the loudest noises are mostly the weak ones outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Because only by killing more people who are weaker than them and reaching the required number of deaths in Bagua City can they escape death.

These people were only at the Tongmai realm, and their combat power was not outstanding, so it was not difficult for Pang Jian to kill them.

Pang Jian, like a ferocious killer, swung his spear calmly, and every stab of the spear would take away a life.

His body, which had been cleansed by the phoenix marrow, had a coordination ability between its tendons and bones that was far superior to his opponents of the same level in the Tongmai Realm. Those people were no match for him.

In a flash, there were more than a dozen corpses between him and the back door of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Tick! Tick!"

Blood dripped onto the ground.

The moment the blood hit the ground, it made only a very light sound and quietly disappeared into the stone floor.

The slate is still as smooth as jade.

A group of attackers who had originally intended to attack Su Meng, Jiang Li and the others and had dispersed to prepare for an encirclement and suppression, suddenly quieted down after taking one look at him, and no one dared to act rashly anymore.

"Don't get me wrong, little brother. We are just unhappy with that despicable guy who was holding a knife and spreading poison powder."

One person was shocked by Pang Jian's momentum. He licked his dry lips, forced out a bleak smile, and said with a cupped hand: "We actually admire people like you who kill people in an upright manner!"

"good!"

"This is an amazing warrior!"

"I respect you as a man. I will not touch the three women you are trying to protect again!"

Everyone expressed their opinions.

No one dared to suggest hunting down these latecomers.

Pang Jian said nothing, wiped the bloody spear on the clothes of a corpse, and turned and left without waiting for it to be completely clean.

Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping, who were defined as despicable villains, wanted to intercept those who dared to take a detour and try to kill Jiang Li.

At this time, seeing those people suddenly retreat back to their original places, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

When he got to the two of them, Pang Jian looked at them strangely and asked, "What are you staring at?"

"No, nothing."

Han Duping was a little embarrassed, and then he patted Zhou Qingchen on the shoulder earnestly and said, "Go away, you despicable boy. To be honest, I despise you too!"

Zhou Qingchen was stunned.

“I wonder if that girl in white died at the front door.”

Seeing that the three people had already come over and no one around dared to provoke them, Luo Hongyan frowned and said this softly.

Also at this moment.

When those people who were about to come over saw Pang Jian kill more than a dozen people in a row, they all stopped temporarily, as if they wanted to see if the magic inside the City Lord's Mansion was opened.

"not enough."

Suddenly, a leisurely male voice was heard from inside the City Lord's Mansion, and he casually ordered, "Don't stop, keep killing."

As soon as these words were spoken, the fire of murder in the eyes of those who had stopped near the City Lord's Mansion was rekindled.

Killing broke out again!

Luo Hongyan's eyebrows moved, and she looked at Jiang Li, whose eyes suddenly showed fear, and asked curiously: "The man who was talking inside is the guy who cut off one of your hands, right?"

Jiang Li was about to answer when she saw Zhou Qingchen coming back and shook her head hurriedly.

Luo Hongyan nodded, snorted, and said, "Okay, I understand."

She confirmed that it was the person who spoke who caused the death of everyone in Hongshan and caused Jiang Li to lose half of his arm.

"Senior Sister Jiang, please don't misunderstand me. I was really not like this before. I didn't know that guy was only at the Tongmai realm. It was Old Han who asked me to go all out, so..."

Zhou Qingchen blushed. He felt that everyone looked at him with strange eyes. He explained to Jiang Li ashamedly.

"You don't have to apologize. I hope you know that as long as you can stay alive, I don't care what method you use." Jiang Li shook her head and said softly, "At that time, if we could rely on the poison powder to get a glimmer of hope, I would do the same."

After she said that, Zhou Qingchen felt better.

Afterwards, Zhou Qingchen couldn't help but start to reflect on himself, wondering if he had really done something wrong

The process of cooperating with Pang Jian to kill Jian Yaoyang and others was so easy that he didn't even have to put in any effort and solved all the hidden dangers and crises.

Because of this, when he encountered the same incident again, he naturally used similar means to deal with the enemy.

The effect... was unexpectedly good, but it also attracted a lot of criticism.

"Being alive is better than anything else."

Pang Jian whispered on the side.

Hearing this, Zhou Qingchen smiled and said, "Yes, being alive is important, the process is not important."

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a huge square pool. At the bottom of the pool lies an ancient bronze box, a silver spear, a floating gorgeous robe, and a white jade porcelain bottle.

The brilliant light condensed into a beam of light that rushed towards the sky, presenting the rare treasures at the bottom of the pool in the beam of light high in the sky for everyone in Bagua City to see.

At this moment, several people had already arrived around the square pool.

Next to the square pool, there are four stone pillar-like platforms standing at the four corners of the pool.

There are people sitting on each platform.

One of them was sitting cross-legged. He was wearing a blue shirt and had a handsome face. He was the one who just spoke up.

Opposite him, Dong Tianze sat on another high platform, with Leng Yuan from the Yinling Temple standing behind him.

Dong Tianze's injuries had long since healed. He had proved his strength with his previous killings, which also earned him a place here.

"Pang Jian."

He frowned, as if he heard the name that he often repeated in his heart from the noisy noise outside the city.

"It must be my illusion."

After a moment, he shook his head in self-mockery and didn't think about it any more.

Outside, there was a roar of killing and the sound of metal clashing in all directions. He just thought that because he often repeated this name, the sounds were his own.
