Shi Yang County.
Late at night.
On the streets.
Several groups of assassins from different factions were fleeing towards the same destination.
Because.
A powerful figure was chasing them from behind.
Because just now.
The moment Wang Lin pursued them.
Three men tried to surround Wang Lin.
Result...
That dark blue spear, coupled with those ferocious horses.
In just three or four rounds.
Two of them had their weapons broken and their bodies were separated!
One of them, sensing the danger, tried to flee, but was instantly pinned to the ground by a spear.
This martial strength?!
Are you kidding me?
Do you think you're a demon king?
Their combat strength is only 80, while his is at least 800!
"Damn it! Didn't they say that Wang Lin is a talented scholar? When did he become so skilled in horsemanship, and when did he learn such top-tier martial arts?"
"Wang Lin? Who said that? After the Chang'an Demon Transformation, who doesn't know that he's both a scholar and a warrior? It's just that he's even more powerful than we thought!"
"Wait, there's an abandoned courtyard over there. Let's take a detour and hide!"
"Good idea."
Soon.
The group hid in the courtyard.
They all held their breath, practicing the Turtle Breath Technique, not making a single sound.
It wasn't until they hadn't heard the pursuit for a long time.
That they finally felt relieved.
"Hmph, good thing we're smart!"
"But I didn't expect that there were other assassins besides us! It's also thanks to them that they helped us divert attention!"
"Sigh, we've fallen for this... Blame that guy for giving us insufficient information. Let's go back and prepare, next time we'll definitely kill Wang Lin!"
"This Wang Lin thinks he's smart, he actually bypassed us to chase after another group of people, hehe! Arrogance, he'll pay the price next time!"
The four men slipped out of the abandoned courtyard one after another.
But at this moment.
A melodious sound reached their ears.
A woman's voice, softly humming a tune.
The melody was beautiful.
In the blink of an eye.
The moonlight became round and bright.
Illuminating the surroundings brightly.
And they felt as if they were no longer in an abandoned courtyard, but in a brothel somewhere, drinking flower tea and seeking pleasure.
They couldn't help but want to dance along.
At this moment.
A beautiful woman descended from above.
Floating lightly in front of them.
With such a beautiful time and scenery.
Of course, they should seek pleasure.
The four men's hearts were stirred, unable to control themselves, they all leered and lunged at her.
The beautiful woman passed by each of them in turn, gently and efficiently slitting their throats, then turned and left, closing the courtyard door behind her.
Everything seemed harmonious.
Until the song drifted away.
The blood of the four men turned ice cold.
Their smiles froze on their faces.
…………
"Hmph, like cutting weeds."
Wang Lin, on the other hand.
Without much effort, he finished off the last three assassins.
The golden red ["Demon King"] attribute began to show its power.
A wisp, invisible but perceptible, was extracted from the three men, falling into Wang Lin's pores, reaching his Dantian.
In an instant.
Wang Lin felt his spirit jolt.
The fatigue in his body was dispelled by a few degrees.
This trip.
He had killed a total of six people.
Under the enhancement of the Demon King, Wang Lin felt he had been strengthened by about 0.3 times.
It felt great.
Needless to say.
This is definitely the combined effect of multiple attributes.
At least.
The ["Medicine King Body"] resonated in response.
It has to be said.
This Medicine King Body is worthy of being a red attribute, with its help in conditioning, combined with the Precious Blood, Wang Lin could always maintain his peak state.
Carefully wiping the blood from the spear on the clothes of the dead men.
Wang Lin put away the spear and placed it in the weapon box.
The only pity was.
The evil value of these three men was not very high, the few blue attributes, and even the purple attributes, could only be watched as they wasted away and disappeared.
However, the previous few people from the Jianghu left behind three useful purple attributes:
【(Purple) Poisonous Technique: You are proficient in dozens of deadly poison formulas, and can effectively use them in combat!】
【(Purple) Poisonous Technique: You are proficient in dozens of deadly poison formulas, and can effectively use them in combat!】
【(Purple) Four-Sided Flying Knife Throwing: A throwing technique for hidden weapons, capable of high-efficiency long-range killing!】
These three attributes were temporarily sealed by him.
He hung the weapon box on the saddle.
Wang Lin rode his horse back the way he came.
Only.
Who were the assassins behind this attack...?
Forgive him for not seeing the third volume yet!
……
……
Wang Lin met with Mei Er.
After briefly exchanging information about the situation, Wang Lin pulled Mei Er onto his horse.
Back at the County Magistrate's office.
Looking at the anxious crowd.
Wang Lin gestured for them to relax:
"I've killed them all. However, Uncle Du Gu, I need you to have your men collect the bodies and dispose of them properly. Don't scare anyone."
Uncle Du Gu nodded quickly: "It's good that you're alright. I'll do it right away."
It's worth mentioning that in the Tang Dynasty, encountering this kind of situation, killing the assassins in retaliation not only didn't violate the Tang law.
It was actually a courageous act worthy of praise.
Therefore, Wang Lin had no intention of showing mercy at all, and he wouldn't be bothered by these people at all.
Those who kill will be killed.
This is a timeless principle!
At the dinner table.
When everyone asked Wang Lin if he knew the identities of the assassins.
Wang Lin said directly:
"I don't know. You can go find their bodies and investigate, but I doubt you'll find anything."
With this happening.
No one had the heart to eat anymore.
Su Wu Ming thought for a moment.
Since the assassins had been killed by Wang Lin.
Then for the time being, there shouldn't be any other assassins coming.
He might as well hurry up and solve the case, so they could leave as soon as possible, and save Uncle Du Gu from being involved in the crisis.
Just right.
It was almost the time of Zi Shi, the last hour of the night.
So.
Su Wu Ming suggested going to the Mingqi shop to take a look. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ling Feng immediately picked up his spear:
"I'll go with you, just so happens, I'm interested in this case too!"
And soon.
Su, Lu, Wang, Du Gu, and a group of night shift guards stood at the entrance of the Mingqi shop.
Su Wu Ming looked through the crack in the door.
And immediately noticed the problem.
Su Wu Ming said in a deep voice:
"Zhong Bo is lying. You see, the moonlight tonight is also bright, but from this position, you can't see Du Gu's body! But why did he insist on blaming Niu Da Ming? Unless... they have a deep grudge against each other."
Lu Ling Feng said beside him: "I've read the detailed case file, in my opinion, there should be two corpses in this Mingqi shop. Brother Wang, do you want to have a contest, see who can find them first?"
Wang Lin chuckled: "I'll take you up on that."
He immediately pushed open the door and strode inside.
Lu Ling Feng followed closely behind.
The two men weaved through the crowded Mingqi shop, each using their own methods to activate the mechanisms and listen for clues.
Soon.
Wang Lin punched through a clay figurine, revealing the body of a tomb robber.
And Lu Ling Feng, by throwing a gear, knocked over a clay figurine, revealing another body.
This scene.
Left Uncle Du Gu speechless.
For a moment, he exclaimed: "The two of you have such amazing skills!"
But then he was confused: "How did you know that there were bodies hidden in the clay figurines?"
Could they be gods?
But he turned to look at Su Wu Ming.
And found that Su Wu Ming was calm, as if he had known all along.
At this moment.
Standing beside the three men.
While Uncle Du Gu was completely baffled.
He felt a sense of exhilaration from being carried away by the flow.
