nChapter 28, Assassination!

n

nOn the way, He Chuan walked as he tried to find out more information about Zhang Muzhi.

n

nIf he didn’t investigate, he wouldn’t know, but once he did, he was shocked!

n

nThis Zhang Muzhi was much more detestable than he had imagined!

n

nDuring his tenure as a county magistrate, there were countless cases of injustice, falsehood, and wrongdoings, but as the parents and officials of the common people, he actually dared to do such a thing as abducting women!

n

nWhenever he saw a beautiful girl, he would use his status to forcefully marry her!

n

nIt was said that after he became the county head magistrate, every two days, there would be another concubine in his backyard.

n

nAnd this was already his eighteenth concubine!

n

nEveryone was furious at this kind of behavior, but they didn’t dare to speak out.

n

nThis was because this Zhang Muzhi not only had an official status, but he was also a late-stage third-rate martial artist!

n

nAlthough martial artists were divided into three steps, with first-rate being the strongest, it was as rare as a phoenix feather.

n

nAnd third-rate being the weakest and were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

n

nHowever, in this remote mountain county, third-rate martial artists were rare. They were already the highest strength in martial arts.

n

nMoreover, he was a late-stage martial artist!

n

nAn outstanding third-rate martial artist!

n

nSo much so that if anyone dared to say anything bad about Zhang Muzhi, he would be able to rely on his martial arts skills to kill those who talked about him on the spot!

n

nThere was nothing they could do.

n

nFaced with such a strong deterrence, the girls that he had taken a fancy to could only accept their fate.

n

nTo avoid implicating the family, they agreed with him with tears in their eyes.

n

n“Just right, I can use this opportunity to teach this bastard a lesson.”

n

nHe Chuan had obtained the best assassination plan through the Deduction System.

n

nIt was on the night of his wedding when he was most unprepared!

n

nZhang Muzhi’s evil deeds were uncountable. Killing him could be considered a merit.

n

nHe Chuan’s gaze turned cold. He hid in the darkness and hid on a certain rooftop. He silently watched the brightly lit county head magistrate estate not far away, looking for an opportunity to strike.

n

nAt this moment, Zhang Muzhi was immersed in the lively atmosphere of the banquet, drinking and chatting with the guests.

n

nHe was completely unaware of his arrival.

n

nHe looked at the scene.

n

nThose who could come here to congratulate him were basically the same as Zhang Muzhi.

n

nThey were either local profiteers or notorious officials of Lin County.

n

nAll in all, none of them were good.

n

nThey were all people who had obtained their current status by squeezing the fruits of other people’s hard work, even their lives.

n

nThey used their power to do whatever they wanted!

n

nOrdinary people would definitely avoid them.

n

nTherefore, almost two streets outside the county head magistrate estate were uninhabited.

n

nOr rather, those who lived there were all Zhang Muzhi’s trusted aides.

n

nNow, they had all come to the mansion to congratulate him.

n

nJust right!

n

nDeliberately showing strength as a warning!

n

nHe Chuan didn’t wait for Zhang Muzhi to return to the bridal chamber before reappearing.

n

nRight at this time, he used his inner qi to wrap around two sharp daggers and fiercely swing them out.

n

nThe sound of the air being torn apart was perfectly covered by the noisy conversations of the banquet.

n

nHowever, Zhang Muzhi was a real late-stage third-rate martial artist after all.

n

nThe sense of danger hidden in his subconscious was still present.

n

nEven though he was a little drunk, he could still sense He Chuan’s attack very keenly.

n

nHe jerked his body and rolled to the ground.

n

n“Clang!”

n

nThe dagger left a long trail and sank deep into the ground.

n

nZhang Muzhi found it hard to believe when he saw it.

n

nWas this a second-rate internal cultivator assassin?

n

nHe was scared. He stood up and looked around the courtyard, “You have a strong inner qi, so you must be a strong martial artist. Why did you hide your head and tail?”

n

nMore daggers responded to him.

n

nThe guests couldn’t sit still.

n

nMost of them weren’t martial artists, so their strength was very limited.

n

nIn this kind of battle, they would only become cannon fodder.

n

nThe slightest carelessness would result in instant death.

n

nSo much so that a few seconds after the battle started, over a hundred people hurriedly fled, and the entire courtyard became a mess.

n

nSuch a chaotic scene made Zhang Muzhi frown even more when he saw it. Wouldn’t this make it easier for the assassin to move?

n

nAt this moment when he was distracted.

n

nAs expected, a blade ray wrapped with a powerful aura appeared from behind at this time!

n

nZhang Muzhi had never expected that.

n

nHis opponent’s timing was so experienced!

n

nIt was as if he knew when his attention would be distracted!

n

nIt was also because of his carelessness that the tip of the blade swept across him. Zhang Muzhi could only turn his body to the side at this critical moment to avoid being cut in half.

n

nThe price was to lose his entire arm.

n

nThe intense pain assaulted him, making his mind extremely clear.

n

nZhang Muzhi did not cry out in pain. Facing such an opponent who was stronger than him, he definitely could not panic.

n

nThe more dangerous it was, the more he had to maintain his composure!

n

nTurning his gaze, a few people had already escaped from the courtyard and ran into the distance.

n

nThat was the direction of the city guards, garrisoned with well-equipped troops!

n

nNo matter how strong a martial artist was, they would eventually run out of strength. They definitely wouldn’t be able to contend against an army!

n

nPerhaps, as long as they dragged it out for a period of time, they would be able to wait for their savior!

n

nBut right at this moment.

n

nSeveral white lights flashed in the dark night, accurately hitting those who had escaped.

n

nThey felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies stiffening as they fell to the ground.

n

nA young and tender voice filled with killing intent sounded.

n

n“Those who leave the courtyard will be killed without mercy!”

n

nEveryone could not help but tremble, and they immediately did not dare to run around.

n

nNo one doubted the authenticity of this sentence.

n

nA martial artist possessed strength that far surpassed that of an ordinary person, and it was easy for them to do this.

n

nNo one would use their own lives to test the strength of an assassin.

n

nZhang Muzhi tore off a piece of clothing to wrap around his broken arm, and gritted his teeth as he asked, “Who exactly are you, sir? What enmity does this official have with you? Even if I die, let me understand why!”

n

n“Official?”

n

nA light laugh came from the darkness, “Do you still remember that you’re an official?”

n

nAs the sound of his voice faded.

n

nA thin figure dressed in a black robe appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

n

nHe held a Buddhist monk knife that was full of holes. It was stained with blood and emitted an unpleasant smell.

n

nEveryone could not help but imagine how many lives this person who looked like a dwarf had taken?

n

nIt was also at this moment.

n

nHe Chuan took off the cloak on his head, revealing his tender face.

n

nHe looked at Zhang Muzhi and asked calmly.

n

n“Do you know who I am?”

n

n
