My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 100 Shock
The fight between Huang Tian and the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost ended in just a few breaths, but Baoqing Workshop was shaken by the commotion.

At the Zhenwu Guard's official residence, two figures leaped up. The first figure seemed to transform into rolling lightning, tearing through the sky and flying in with a bang!
In the blink of an eye, the lightning stopped above Qinghui Garden, revealing Yu Jingcheng's figure.

His gaze swept quickly across the room, stopping at the fiery red Huang Tian, ​​before turning to look at the gaunt old man who was trapped in a huge pit, barely recognizable as human.

"This is……"

He landed beside the deep pit with a look of surprise and uncertainty, glanced at it a few times, and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

At this moment, the other figure also leaped over; it was none other than the Garrison Commander Bai Yuanfu. He stopped beside Huang Tian and looked him up and down, asking, "Are you alright?"

Huang Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Shirahara Fusuke breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the corpse lying in the pit, took two steps forward, and with a flick of his sleeve, swept the dust off the corpse's face.

"The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost?!"

As a well-known assassin in Qinzhou, Qianxiang Laogui had naturally killed court officials, making him a celebrity on the wanted list. Bai Yuanfu had a deep impression of him and recognized him immediately.

"It really is the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost!"

Yu Jingcheng recognized him too, and then turned to Huang Tian in shock, "You...you actually killed him! No, what I mean is, you actually managed to kill him! Then your strength..."

Bai Yuanfu looked at Huang Tian with the same astonishment, "Qianxiang Laogui's strength in a head-on fight is only that of an ordinary fourth-grade perfect cultivator, but his ability to conceal his aura and disguise himself is extremely high. Even a grandmaster would find it difficult to detect him without careful examination."

With this skill, he successfully assassinated several fourth-rank martial artists without a single failure, and even escaped unscathed from the enraged Grandmaster whose juniors he had killed. He never imagined he would die at your hands today!

He asked uncertainly, "Huang Tian, ​​you haven't broken through to the fifth rank again, have you?"

Otherwise, how could he have so easily defeated and killed the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost?

Huang Tian shook his head: "Not that fast yet."

Upon hearing this, Shirahara Fusuke breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, it has only been about ten days since he broke through to the sixth rank. If he breaks through again, it would be a miracle.

However, an even louder gasp rang out, and Yu Jingcheng exclaimed excitedly, "You mean, you're still only a sixth-rank cultivator, and you killed the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost at the sixth rank?!"

Shirahara immediately realized what was happening, and his pupils contracted.

A sixth-rank cultivator can kill a fourth-rank cultivator!

To kill someone in the blink of an eye—is that even human?!

Huang Tian nodded, "Most of his skills lie in his ability to change his appearance and escape. Once we figure out his movements, killing him won't be difficult."

Hearing this somewhat humble remark, Yu Jingcheng and Bai Yuanfu exchanged a glance, speechless for a long time.

Putting aside the fact that Qianxiang Laogui is a fourth-grade master, the fact that he can see through his figure is something that ordinary martial artists cannot do. After all, even a third-grade grandmaster might not be able to see through him, so how could you possibly discover it?
As the two remained silent, a dozen dark figures stood on the eaves of some houses in the nearby streets and alleys, watching from afar. At the Zhenwuwei government office, squads of armored and sword-wielding warriors also emerged and rushed towards Qinghui Garden.

Soon, the strongmen arrived at the scene. Yu Jingcheng waved his hand and said, "Take this person's body back to the yamen."

Immediately, several strongmen squatted down and tried to lift the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost, who was firmly stuck in the ground and almost embedded in the sand and stones.

However, although the body appeared intact, it was actually smashed to pieces inside. With a gentle lift, it broke into pieces, and a strong smell of blood wafted out. Several strongmen were secretly shocked as they dug out the mangled remains.

Seeing this, Bai Yuanfu sighed, "Huang Tian, ​​your strength is probably on par with mine, no, I think you've already surpassed me..."

He figured that if the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost attacked and killed him, even if he survived, he would never be able to keep the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost alive, let alone kill him.

Yu Jingcheng also clicked his tongue in admiration, looking at Huang Tian as if he were looking at a piece of beautiful jade that had been washed clean of its impurities.

"With your current strength, apart from a handful of grandmasters, almost no one in Kunyun County can rival you. In fact, I think even a grandmaster wouldn't be able to defeat you anytime soon!"

Yu Jingcheng stroked his beard and said, "However, your rapid progress and defeating two fifth-rank martial artists with the sixth rank has shocked many people and attracted a lot of attention. Among those in the open are the Xiao family, Xue family, and Zhou family of the state city, and there are probably many more in the shadows."

Now that you have defeated the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost with your sixth-rank cultivation, the shockwaves you have caused are even greater, and you have attracted even more people... You must be extra careful.

Of course, there's no need to worry too much. Given your exceptional talent, it might not be long before the state and garrison guards transfer you to the state capital for protection..."

The state and garrison guards could not ignore a promising talent who had the potential to become a second-rank or even first-rank master, and leave him in a dangerous place to be assassinated.

However, for Huang Tian, ​​the protection of the state and town guards is not very meaningful, because in another ten days or so, he will be able to break through to the fifth rank and fight against a second-rank grandmaster!
With such strength, coupled with his special abilities, he can go anywhere in the world and would not need the protection of state and town guards.

'I will go to the capital, but not as a genius, but as a strongman, and that day is not far off…'

He smiled and said, "I'll be careful."

"That's good."

Yu Jingcheng gave Bai Yuanfu a few more instructions before turning to leave.

Huang Tian stood still, glancing around at the dozen or so figures on the rooftops in the distance. They all bowed respectfully to show they meant no harm before leaping off the roof and disappearing into the darkness.

Huang Tiansui stopped paying attention to them and turned back to his mansion. At this time, the servants in the mansion were all awakened. The mansion was brightly lit, and everyone's face was pale.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him walk in unharmed.

Aunt Qin clasped her hands together and muttered, "Thank God, thank God! Young Master is alright..."

Heng'er clutched a handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers tightly, her face slightly pale, revealing a relieved joy.

Huang Tianqing said in a clear voice, "It's nothing serious. It was just a few bandits who broke into the manor. They have been killed. You can all go back and rest."

The earth shook violently, as if a dragon had turned over. How could it be just thieves breaking into the mansion? The servants didn't believe it. However, since their master was alright, they looked at each other and obeyed the order to go back to rest.

Walking over to Aunt Qin and Heng'er, Huang Tian smiled and said, "It's alright. He's just a weak and easily defeated thug. Didn't you see that my clothes aren't even dirty?"

Aunt Qin nodded repeatedly, and Heng'er also gave a soft "hmm".

"Alright, it's late, go and rest. Make sure you're well-rested, because there will be plenty of people bothering you outside the manor tomorrow. You'll be quite busy then."

The lights in Qinghui Garden quickly dimmed, and tranquility returned. However, the entire Baoqingfang and Kunyun County were not so peaceful...
