What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?

A good mindset!

Xu Shimo really admired Chen Shiqing for being able to stroll so leisurely while chasing thieves.

Is this the composure of a master?

Suddenly, Xu Shimo heard a noise beside his ear. He turned his head slightly, then grabbed the beam on the shed and used it to flip himself up and stand on the eaves.

They saw a burly man standing on the roof ridge ornament.

Someone was chasing him not far behind. He stopped, looked at Chen Shiqing below, and noticed the approaching pursuers behind him. Then Xu Shimo jumped forward, and he was caught in a dilemma.

This must be the petty thief that Master Chen was talking about... Xu Shimo instantly drew his sword. His practice of the Fish-Dragon Stance made him feel as if he were walking on flat ground even when stepping on the eaves.

The snow-white blade gleamed in the sunlight.

The burly man dodged to the side, and at the same time quickly kicked Xu Shimo, then used the momentum to propel himself toward the gap in the encirclement.

But this seemingly ordinary kick didn't feel so good on Xu Shimo.

What the hell!

Such incredible strength? No wonder Master Chen wants to capture him; I was far too overconfident.

Xu Shimo felt as if he had been struck in the abdomen with a heavy hammer, and then he was thrown backward and even flew out. Just as he was about to hit the ground, a hand suddenly blocked his back, absorbing most of the force.

"You're very bold and quick-witted, but it would be better if you reacted a little slower next time."

"Take it!"

Before Xu Shimo could react, a small green pill had already appeared in his palm.

"List……"

Chen Shiqing had already waved his Taoist robe and leaped onto the roof to chase after the thief.

A moment later, another pursuer arrived. He was dressed in plain blue embroidered clothes and was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

She was a woman, her hair tied up high, revealing a blue birthmark on her forehead without any attempt to conceal it, and carrying a long spear on her back.

Stepping onto the green tiles, she changed direction and quickly caught up.

With such a large commotion, what did this person steal...? Xu Shimo couldn't help but feel a little curious, but she knew it wasn't something she should worry about, so she looked down at the pill.

I put it away.

Master Chen is so magnanimous!

I made a profit!

If I hadn't practiced the Fish-Dragon Stance and the Fixed-Form Saber Technique, I definitely wouldn't have been able to maintain such a stable posture, and I wouldn't have been able to save this pill.

In high spirits, Xu Shimo began her street patrol.

It's called a street patrol, but it's really just a leisurely stroll. And to put it bluntly, dressed in such a ridiculous outfit, even ordinary people would have to show him some respect.

Trivial matters are not worth getting involved in, gang fights are unnecessary, and chasing thieves like Master Chen is of no help.

"Brother Mo, you should go back and rest. The brothers are keeping an eye on things here. We'll call you if anything happens."

Tang Dalong said obsequiously.

The scene of Wang Chang flying backwards that morning left a very deep impression on him; he really didn't expect Xu Shimo to have such strength.

It should at least be a balance of Qi and Blood, right?

Didn't the driver, Ke Lin, say it would take another ten days?

"This...isn't that a bad idea?" Xu Shimo said.

"Don't worry, Brother Mo, Chief Lin and Chief Wang never work as police officers. If there's anything they can't handle, just let them know," the others chimed in.

Thus, Xu Shimo, a master of both Qi and Blood, accepted this unspoken rule.

Improving our strength is the most important thing right now.

So he returned to the city guard and began to practice stance training in silence.

The exercise involves a fish-shaped posture, primarily aimed at promoting blood circulation and energy flow.

About half an hour later, Xu Shimo felt numbness in his waist, back, legs and feet, and his body felt slightly hot. At this moment, he suddenly heard a series of noises coming from the backyard.

What's that noise?

At this time, only a few people who were slacking off remained in the city guard.

He gripped the knife and slowly walked backward.

The backyard was deserted.

Xu Shimo cautiously walked towards some blind spots. At one corner, he seemed to see a figure. His steps slowed down, and he gently pushed the knife by placing his thumb on the hilt.

Turn around.

What came into view was a chubby little baby, about four or five years old, squatting there playing with pebbles.

Xu Shimo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A man dressed as a groom rushed over in a panic, first bowing to Xu Shimo: "Sir, my son was unruly and offended you. Please forgive him."

His body was trembling. Although the coachman found Xu Shimo unfamiliar, he was still a servant, and he had clearly seen this official make a move that morning.

They even dare to take taxis!

How brutal!

Xu Shimo let out a breath, waved his hand, and signaled the other party to leave.

So the coachman quickly stepped forward, picked up the porcelain-white baby, and left immediately.

Just as Xu Shimo's tense mind relaxed, a chilling aura quietly spread out, and an inexplicable smell of blood permeated the air.

Xu Shimo looked down and saw a shadow standing behind him.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

He roughly guessed who the visitor was, and thought to himself that he should really listen to Master Chen's words, since he was so impatient. It's better to stay still than to act rashly. Why did he react so quickly?

Is that thief someone I can defeat?

The shadow behind me had already moved.

With no other choice, Xu Shimo had to bite the bullet and go for it. He twisted his waist and turned around like a fish, while simultaneously drawing two-thirds of his knife and holding it in front of him.

As before, a kick came down, fierce and swift, carrying tremendous force.

However, just as the foot was about to touch the blade, the instep of that foot suddenly shifted to one side.

boom!

Xu Shimo took two steps back to dissipate the force.

That's not the right amount of force.

The sense of urgency in his heart lessened considerably. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the man's aura was disordered, his chest and arm had been slashed by a sword, and his left leg seemed unable to straighten. This reminded Xu Shimo of the spear carried by the Embroidered Uniform Guard woman.

All his worries vanished at once.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

Master Chen said he was a petty thief, so he must have a lot of money on him. At the very least, he must be on the wanted list, so it would be perfect to use him to collect the bounty.

The thief, seeing the look in Xu Shimo's eyes, suddenly smiled:

"You ignorant fool, trying to use your grandfather's head to gain merit? We'll see if you have the ability!"

"Don't get so worked up, I just want to borrow something from you."

"Borrow what?" the burly man asked after a moment's thought.

There is hope in my heart.

The officials in the Great Wei were all bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, unlike the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Maybe I really didn't make a mistake by coming here.

"My head!"

Xu Shimo had barely finished speaking—

stab.

The long sword was drawn.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to play me for a fool!" the burly man spat and cursed.

Xu Shimo ignored everything and just kept wielding his long sword, his body steady and his defense almost impenetrable.

Wind-Stabilizing Blade Technique!

"Damn it, are you made of a tortoise shell?!"

Xu Shimo's swordsmanship was too steady, and he couldn't break through the stalemate for a long time, making the burly man increasingly anxious.

He thought to himself that if he hadn't been injured, or if his injury hadn't been so severe, he could have simply used his strength to overcome all obstacles.

Unfortunately, the flow of qi was blocked, the body was weak, and the wound was still bleeding.

If that stinky Taoist priest and that woman arrive...

His heart grew increasingly anxious.

In a moment of distraction, a powerful force struck his chest.

Black Wind Palm!
