Start from Wusheng

Chapter 127: Escape on the Day of Lingchi
The sounds of fighting outside came one after another, sometimes far away, sometimes close.

The two family heads left, and the bank's shopkeepers and clerks were busy counting the goods and putting them into the warehouse.

The hunting team members in the courtyard have not left yet.

These Qi and Blood Warriors gathered together originally to deal with the Flower-Picking Thief. Now that the Flower-Picking Thief is dead, they can disband.

But who can leave willingly?

Needless to say, the Qi and Blood warriors from the gang had already left, and they would definitely participate in the siege of Lu Zhigang.

The rest of the people all had something in mind but didn't plan to take action immediately.

"I'm sleepy. I'm going to go back to sleep first. You guys should also..."

Shi Gaofei yawned, waved to everyone, and left.

He felt very lucky that he had completed this mission without any injuries or pain, and could continue to live out his life in the martial arts gym.

As for Lu Zhigang's good luck, 'Lazy Tiger' Shi Gaofei is not envious!

……

"Well?"

There is murderous intent everywhere, and 5 or 6 Qi and blood warriors are attacking together. Even a martial artist cannot be careless even if he is in the situation.

However, from the perspective of the battlefield, every move of these people was under his control.

Lv3 basic light skills are performed at full speed.

Zhou You's back suddenly turned into an afterimage, like the ink marks left by a brush, drawing several zigzag shapes in the air.

One after another, the moves of the Qi and Blood Warriors fell behind him, and he was far behind.

The encirclement was further reduced, but Zhou You was like a loach. Whenever he was forced into a dead end, he could find an opportunity to escape from the crowd.

Dazzling red dots gathered from all around, representing powerful enemies in the middle and even the back section of the Qi and blood.

This bonus was so generous that countless brave warriors were willing to bow down to it.

No wonder the panel issued an escape mission. It would be a miracle to escape unscathed in this situation.

"Flying geese soar into the sky."

The sound of geese is deafening!
The feather energy of Zhou You's wings accumulated to hundreds of layers, and his speed suddenly increased dramatically.

He rose high into the sky, his posture so light and graceful, as if there were clouds lingering beneath his feet.

The Qi and Blood warriors who participated in the siege were shocked when they saw this!

Are you trying to escape by cheating with your lightness skills?
In an instant, more than a dozen arms intertwined into a jungle, and everyone huddled together, trying to pull Zhou You down from mid-air.

Even a Qi and Blood warrior who is not good at light work can jump to a height of dozens of meters in one breath by jumping with all his strength and speed.

They jumped higher than each other, and it seemed that someone was about to grab Zhou You's ankle.

Further away, the middle section of qi and blood that had arrived one after another and the back end of qi and blood had begun to accelerate their sprint.

Who could have imagined that at the moment when Zhou You was at high altitude and had nowhere to lean on and his momentum had been reduced to the extreme...

Suddenly turned, turned!
To many Qi and Blood warriors, this scene simply went against common sense.

"No need to send me off, I'm going too!"

Swish, Zhou You glided like a giant bird, flashing over the heads of the Qi and Blood warriors one by one, and flew towards the end of the deep darkness.

At this moment, he was as proud as an eagle, overlooking the frustrated warriors.

This direction is the only way out among countless densely packed light spots from the battlefield perspective.

He escaped unscathed with a huge sum of 10 taels of silver, and successfully completed the trial project, with +1000 experience points.

The next day, Zhou You woke up in the martial arts hall and heard footsteps everywhere in the yard.

"In the small square in the wasteland west of the city, the flower thief was tortured to death in public."

It turned out that the flower thief had been stripped of his kidneys and had his limbs broken by Zhou You, and had his flesh torn by hunting dogs, and was already dying.

While he was still breathing, Captain Chang ordered him to be dragged out of the city and executed by slow slicing in public.

In order to ensure that he could complete the 9999 operations, he was given ginseng soup to stimulate all the vitality in his body.

"Have you heard? It was Lu Zhigang who captured the flower thief alive. He took away all the bonuses, 10 taels!"

The apprentices were very excited and rushed to pass on all kinds of gossip.

Some people even calculated how to spend the 10 taels.
No one knew that Lu Zhigang, who received this huge bonus, was listening quietly beside them. Zhou You shook his head and wanted to laugh, saying that it was 10 taels, but in fact most of it was real estate.

Gold, silver, grain, land and real estate all have names and are not easy to track.

Unless Zhou You gives up his identity and lives as Lu Zhigang, all this wealth will only exist on paper.

The most valuable items for him were 20 Scale-Beard Pills and some small valuable goods.

"Zhou You, let's go and take a look together."

Xu Ying and Li Hao were just about to go out when they saw Zhou You and invited him warmly.

Lingchi is the highest level of death penalty and is generally not used lightly. The person being punished must be a heinous criminal.

The flower thief offended the powerful and wealthy, which is why he received such rare treatment.

The man in the city who is skilled in skinning people is already very old and was invited to come out of retirement to enjoy his retirement.

The wasteland to the west of the city was covered with withered grass.

The dying flower thief was tied to a wooden stake, groaning.

The scene was bloody and bizarre, and the onlookers were horrified but also a little excited.

This is similar to the motivation for watching a beheading. Seeing a fellow being tortured instinctively releases dopamine and creates a stimulating pleasure.

The mastermind behind this bloody execution was Captain Chang.

As one of the eight ghost-catching lieutenants, he is extremely powerful and vengeful.

The flower thief killed his daughter, so he must be cut into pieces, not even a single cut less.

When Zhou You and a group of martial arts apprentices arrived at the scene, the lingchi was already halfway through.

Suddenly, the flower thief with his head down seemed to sense something and looked up at the crowd.

Zhou You's expression was calm. He was sure that the other party would never recognize him as 'Lu Zhigang'.

"Drip drip drip!"

A short and sharp whistle sounded from the flower thief's mouth.

Being subjected to the Lingchi punishment, a large amount of blood was lost from the body, which indirectly led to the loss of most of the poison in the Seven-Step Poisonous Sand Palm.

As luck would have it, the flower thief actually recovered some strength.

He used the tip of his tongue to pick out the whistle hidden in the wound, and blew it to summon the exotic bat.

A sense of foreboding enveloped the scene.

Amid the whistling wind, a black spot in the sky gradually grew larger and rapidly approached the wasteland.

"A monster, it's a monster, a bat bigger than a buffalo, it's like a spirit."

Zhou You thought he was lucky that he had taken the initiative last night and did not give the other party the chance to summon a strange beast, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to succeed.

The city residents around him were terrified and pushed back and forth like a tide.

In a flash, a strange bat fell into the crowd, bit off a person's head, and blood splattered on the earth.

Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom
Several warriors punched the bat. The sound of the punches was like beating a cowhide drum, which made the tiger's mouth numb.

This is no ordinary beast!

Zhou You sensed a familiar trace from the bat.

Could it be that this bat is related to the beast spirit?

The strange bat ate two people and became more and more irritable after tasting the blood.

The whistle blown by the flower thief also made it impatient.

"Drip drip drip!"

Suddenly, the bat raised its sharp claws and pressed down on the wooden stake with a snap.

The wooden stake broke, and the flower thief turned into a ball of meat paste right under his claws.

The fun was too great, and the flower thief died at the hands of the strange beast he had raised.

After the bat killed the flower thief, it let out a joyful and ferocious cry, and it wanted to eat more people.
