Devour

The snotty kid whispered to stop him, "Tu Kuang Dao, you're so anxious, don't be reckless. Xianhua Pavilion is the largest branch of Longmai Sect in the north, and Lord Nie's illegitimate prince is sitting inside. I can sense three auras hiding nearby, and their strength is not inferior to yours. They must be Nie Ziqiong's personal guards. We are here to complete the mission, don't provoke irrelevant forces."

Tu Kuangdao said hurriedly, "You are a young man. The village chief asked you to lead this mission. Can you two come up with an idea?"

This old man and this young boy are actually husband and wife, not grandparents and grandchildren as they appear.

Min Xiaoxiao wiped his nose and said, "Be patient and don't panic. When they come out, quickly push the cart into them and flip over the pork... Why does it seem to stink?"

Tu Kuangdao whispered, "I'm not really selling pork. No one would buy it if it's smelly."

Min Xiaoxiao continued, "Then you grab someone to argue with, and we pretend to step forward to stop the fight. This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to kill someone."

Tu Kuangdao was delighted and said, "What a good idea. Let's kill him without him noticing. That's how we do it."

Cheng Bai brought one man and two monsters to eat and drink in the store. After a while, they slowly walked out.

The four assassins standing guard at the door were secretly delighted. Tu Kuangdao pushed the pork cart and rushed towards Lu Miaoting. He had a sharp eye and knew that the other party probably saw this girl as the weakest point, so it would be the best place to break through.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side: "Hey! Stop your pork stall right there."

Tu Kuangdao turned around and saw that it was the city guard from that morning, who was chasing after him with a group of men.

He stopped and shook off the scarred flesh on his face, forcing a smile and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

The city keeper shouted, "I've always found this strange. All those who sell pork in the market have to pay food tax, oil tax, and input tax, but why haven't I seen you before? Newcomers must pay the tax, so hurry up and pay it all."

A city guard nearby picked up a piece of pork, sniffed it, frowned and said, "Why does it look stale? Add another city appearance tax."

The other city defenders surrounded the meat stall and pushed Tu Kuangdao out with their buttocks.

After this interruption, the four killers watched Cheng Bai and others walk away, and they were furious.

Min Xiaoxiao winked at Tu Kuangdao, who understood and said hurriedly, "My dear officials, I make little money, and I need to slowly count the money to pay the taxes. Please follow me to a secluded place."

The city defenders played into this wish and let Tu Kuangdao push the stall cart in front, with a group of people following closely behind. When others saw him, they tried to avoid him as much as possible, completely unaware that there were three killers following him, and they turned into the depths of a remote alley.

After a long time, Tu Kuangdao came out again pushing the meat stall. The meat on the stall cart was no longer smelly, and each piece of meat had bright red blood streaks, which was quite eye-catching and immediately attracted many customers who came to buy meat.

Min Xiaoxiao followed the stall with two other killers. He licked the blood on his hands and said, "It's no use doing it in secret. Let's go head-on. You old fool, contact the informant and locate the target again."

……

Cheng Bai took one man and two monsters to the southern suburbs. They walked more and more remote areas, looking back from time to time.

Lu Miaoting asked curiously, "Who are you waiting for? Why don't you fly away quickly?"

Cheng Bai said: "We are being followed. The murderous intent is hidden, but it can't be suppressed. It must be a big fish. The four of them are all in the heavenly realm. Their whereabouts are secretive and they will catch up soon."

Hei Long understood and said, "Master, do you want to deal with them here?"

Cheng Bai said: "If we kill more masters like this, we will surely become famous and attract the attention of Tianmen, which is exactly what I want. They are chasing us, so you guys protect Miao Ting for a while. I will take action."

Smokey and Blackfly nodded in agreement.

Someone in the east sang loudly: "The world is vast, and I shed tears of sorrow."

A meat cart rolled over, with very little meat left on it. Tu Kuangdao grinned, picked up the shiny bone-cutting knife on the stall, and waved it with a whirring sound.

Someone in the west raised his arms and shouted: "Sadness and loneliness, death is nothing."

A scholar in a long robe strode over, dancing with a large brush in his hand like a whirlwind. A platinum blade extended from the pen, sharp and intimidating. It was Li Bukong.

To the south, there were two figures, one tall and one short, one old and one young, who looked like a grandfather and grandson, walking towards them, singing in unison: "With murder in mind, we slaughter the people for mercy."

Min Xiuhua showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and Min Tongtong licked the candied haws in his hand, which looked like clotted blood.

Cheng Bai asked in a clear voice: "Why have the four seniors followed us for so long?"

Tu Kuangdao shouted: "The black-skinned boy next to you is in big trouble, he must keep his life."

Hei Long looked around, wondering if he was talking about him. He asked in surprise, "Do we know each other?"

Cheng Bai couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this: "Aren't you here to find me? I'm more famous."

Min Xiuhua scolded: "Stop talking nonsense and get started."

The two killers came from the left and right, and their sword energy enveloped the four people including Cheng Bai. In the eyes of the killers, Hei Long was the strongest, and the other three were just a piece of cake.

Tu Kuangdao's knife skills combine power and rhythm perfectly. In an instant, he can dismember a person into 206 complete bones, and clearly separate the muscles and skin. Then they are cut into thin strips, making it impossible to tell what the original species was. It is fast and precise, and is called the "pulling bone-cutting" knife technique.

Li Bukong's knife skills are much more elegant. His movements are like a stroke of genius, poetic and picturesque. The trajectory is smooth and natural, graceful and rhythmic, making people intoxicated and facing death inadvertently. This is called the Three Knife Moves of Plum Blossom.

Cheng Bai only used one move, the "Yu" technique.

Tu Kuangdao howled and flew backwards, with three bloody holes on his body. The Plum Blossom Sword pierced his vital points and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Li Bukong stumbled back a few steps, barely swayed as if he was drunk, fell backwards and never got up again. Only a skeleton was left in his hollow chest, with bones and flesh scattered everywhere, not a trace left.

The two masters in the early stage of the Heavenly Man Realm died as soon as they met each other, and they were killed by each other in the teleportation attack.

Min Xiuhua and Min Tongtong's pupils constricted. The opponent's strength was far beyond their expectations, so they hurriedly stopped their charge.

"The wind is tight and the wind is blowing."

Min Nan was quick-witted and threw down the candied haws, pulled Min Xiuhua up, turned around and ran away.

Min Xiuhua feinted with her eagle-head staff and threw out a poisonous incendiary bomb with her backhand. Unfortunately, it was shattered by a sniper bullet in mid-air and exploded, emitting flames.

The two killers ran madly, and after running for several miles, they thought they were far away from the enemy, but they saw Cheng Bai standing in front of them with a killing knife in his hand, slashing at them with multiple cross-shaped knife lights.

Before the two men could even scream, their upper bodies were cut into hundreds of pieces and they died tragically on the spot.

Cheng Bai took a quick look at it and took the eagle-head staff away: "It is made of star gold. If you melt it, it will be a profit."

When they returned to the original place, Lu Miaoting, Yan Gui and Hei Long had already cleaned up the battlefield and handed in the Tiger Pen and Bone-Chopping Knife.

Cheng Bai said happily, "Two more platinum weapons. The money came really quickly. Why did the killer come to trouble Heilong? He beat up that Wang Xiongwu along the way. Could he be sent by Jingtao Sect?"

The other three looked at each other, confused.

Hei Long was surprised and asked, "We just exchanged a few moves. Is it the local custom to hold grudges like this?"

Lu Miaoting said: "That's just a small matter. The bigger thing is that I ate someone else's meal for free, which was very expensive. I'm afraid they would be unhappy."

She guessed half right, but she didn't expect the amount to be so huge beyond her imagination.

The smoker couldn't understand and asked in surprise, "Why would someone be so generous to treat you when he can't afford it?"

Cheng Bai pondered and sorted out his thoughts for a while, then said, "This matter is full of mysteries. If you are willing to take risks, there may be a lot of things to come. Let's go back to Qian'an City and wait and see what happens, and refine some treasures by the way."

Lu Miaoting and others followed his lead and were teleported back to Qian'an City, only to see martial law everywhere, with doors and windows closed, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Cheng Bai asked for information along the way, and came to Xianhua Pavilion thoughtfully.

Nie Ziqiong was no longer in the store.

Chu Kangtian said: "It is rumored that a spy sneaked into the city and killed the city guards. I heard that more than a dozen people died. The crime scene is nearby. The Lord of Beiwei is furious and is mobilizing troops to rectify the government and restore law and order."

Cheng Bai asked in confusion: "It has developed so quickly, could it be premeditated?"

Such a large-scale mobilization is definitely not as simple as sending a few killers and killing some officials. What we see on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg.

Chu Kangtian's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "Master Cheng has extraordinary spirit, and must be a talented person in the clan. Does he have the King's Medal?"

"Yes." Cheng Bai showed the Hunter King Medal.
