"Achoo!"

In his sleep, Wang Chang suddenly felt a chill and sneezed, waking himself up.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed.

"That's strange, did I forget to close the window...?" He got up and reached out to close the window.

But as I turned around, I suddenly felt a chill down my back.

He turned his head shakily and reached for the headboard not far away.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

A mocking voice came from the darkness, followed by the sound of a knife slamming to the ground.

The candles were lit.

Wang Chang also used this opportunity to see the person who came in.

The newcomer was dressed in a black outfit, a figure Wang Chang knew all too well. After lighting the candles, he turned around and stroked the unsheathed sword.

"Wang Cha Tou, you know me. This master hates people who don't keep their promises the most."

With a thud.

Wang, the constable, immediately knelt on the ground: "It's a misunderstanding, Master Li! Constable Han gave the order suddenly, and I didn't have time to report it."

Things are different now.

Now that Xing Gongcao has suddenly said he wants to quell the rebellion and bring peace to the people, he, a mere errand boy, can no longer stand on equal footing with Master Li, who possesses the third level of Qi and Blood.

Today's situation has already explained everything.

"Officer Wang, are you surprised that I, the head of this hall, am still alive?" Li Shou asked with a sneer, his face dark.

"I wouldn't dare! Master Li is so powerful, how could he possibly..."

"Alright!" A look of weariness appeared on Li Shou's face. He didn't want to listen to this pointless flattery. "I'm asking you, what's the deal with this Xu Shimo?"

"Xu Shimo?"

Wang Chang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Master Li, there's no mistake, he must be a member of the Black Wind Gang, otherwise how could his strength have improved so quickly?"

Li Shou suddenly leaned forward, stepping on the knife on the ground, his face contorted with rage: "You mean yesterday he was only at the second level of Qi and Blood, even weaker than you, and today he's transformed into a third level of Qi and Blood, stronger than Wang Yu?"

"Wang Chang, are you joking? Or do you think I'm as stupid as a pig?"

Wang Chang shuddered in fright and instantly changed his accent:

"They must be hiding their true abilities! Shaved their heads, entered the City Guard as a refugee, and even got a position—such ulterior motives suggest they must be remnants of the Five Poisons Gang!"

Li Shou did not answer, but pondered for a long time before sighing:

"All past mistakes are to blame. I've come here now for one important matter—the boss must offer sacrifices to the Dragon King. Go and find seven pairs of young boys and girls, and you must bring them within three days."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chang hesitated.

"Master Li, I have never done such a thing before, and is it really necessary to use human sacrifice? Sacrifice..."

"Wang Chang, when did it become your place to interfere in the affairs of my Five Poisons Gang?" Li Shou shouted angrily. "As you say, things are different now!"

"Wearing that dog skin, you really think you're a good person? You have to do this, whether you like it or not!"

"Master Li, given Xing Gongcao's current situation, I can't make a move. Besides, Han Chasi is also watching me, and his Demon-Subduing Blade..." Despite the pressure, Wang Chang was still worried.

But in his heart he thought, "Let's get rid of this evil spirit first, and go find Officer Han tomorrow."

This is something that should never be done.

"My blade has never been dull!"

After a pause, Li Shou, however, didn't seem to care and gave him a boost of confidence:

"Do it with confidence!"

"He, surnamed Xing, is just a minor official. Not to mention the county magistrate above him, he doesn't have the final say among the six officials. Relax, the Five Poisons Gang's strength far exceeds your imagination."

After saying this, Li Shou left with a meaningful smile.

As his hand touched the door, it seemed that greed had taken over, and he turned back and said:

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, lure Xu Shimo out tomorrow, and I will take care of him for you."

At most, there would be only one Wang Yu.

What about the three levels of Qi and Blood? It should be noted that there are differences among the three levels of Qi and Blood.

You won't be able to seize this opportunity.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Shou pushed open the door, and suddenly a night breeze rushed towards him, carrying a cloud of white powder.

Someone attacked!

Just as I was about to prepare myself, a burning pain shot through my face.

It's lime!

Li Shou sensed it and knew who the person was: the kid who had used the same dirty trick of lime during the day, and also the remnant of the Black Wind Gang that he was looking for, Xu Shimo!

You little brat, you have some nerve! I wasn't looking for you, but you came looking for me.

Do you think you can take me down with these underhanded tricks?

But then, the pain from his facial nerves made it impossible for Li Shou to think anymore; it felt like his head was being torn apart.

It's palm strike!

The Black Wind Palm, at the Transcendent Realm, struck his face.

But that wasn't all. Xu Shimo drew his knife and went to slash. It was a simple and unadorned strike, but he used all his strength.

It all comes down to strength.

A martial artist's instincts compelled Li Shou to hastily raise his sword to block, but the opponent's sword was simply too heavy.

How could this be... Li Shou never expected that Xu Shimo's knife would be so swift, pressing down like a mountain, completely different from what he had seen during the day.

So it turns out he was hiding his true abilities during the day too...

This was Li Shou's last thought before he was killed.

Its face was covered in lime, its eyes were wide open, and it rolled to the corner of the wall.

Xu Shimo stared blankly at the knife in his hand, noticing that it was starting to chip and warp; it seemed he needed to get a new one.

But the question is... is it really that easy?

However, after thinking about it, his expression returned to normal.

Stealing Heavenly Secrets

【Xu Shimo (Qi and Blood Level 3, not yet a Daoist)】

Martial Arts:

Black Wind Palm - Transcendent Realm

Fish-Dragon Stakes - Perfection

Flying Crane Body Technique - Perfection

[Stabilizing the Wind Blade Technique - Minor Success]

As the saying goes, "One force can overcome ten techniques." Since I possess several complete martial arts skills and have boundless strength, this is to be expected.

It only had the added benefit of a little sneak attack.

Xu Shimo walked over as if no one else was there, sat down by herself, and completely ignored Wang Chang's guarded stance with his knife drawn, speaking calmly:

"Officer Wang, I heard you've been going around saying I'm a bandit?"

Clang!

Wang Chang, who had just stood up, suddenly knelt down again, and threw away the knife he had just grabbed in the chaos.

"Lord Xu, I'm innocent! Someone must be trying to sow discord between us. I have always respected you, Lord Xu."

Xu Shimo: "Then why haven't you paid back the twenty taels of silver you owe me?"

"what?"

So straightforward?

Wang Chang was stunned, but there was no room for refusal. "Return it! Return it!"

Snapped!

Before he could make a move, a martial arts manual suddenly appeared on the ground.

Wang Chang was puzzled.

"Wang Cha Tou, do you want a martial arts manual? Twenty taels of silver per manual," Xu Shimo removed his mask, revealing a set of white teeth, "Instructional service included, guaranteed to teach and teach until you master it."

In all honesty, I'm a good person, not some kind of bandit.

Take only what you are entitled to.

It's a pity that Wang Chang seems to still have some conscience, which makes it difficult for him to rid the people of evil and rob the rich to help the poor. Xu Shimo felt a little disappointed.

But Wang Chang was startled.

Good heavens, you still say you're not a bandit.

Look at these methods of extorting money.

Dressed in black, he arrived late at night, stood guard at the door, and immediately struck with a knife, demanding twenty taels of silver. He then threw down a martial arts manual—the "Black Wind Palm" manual—and demanded another twenty taels.

Wang Chang himself wouldn't believe it if it weren't for the Black Wind Gang members returning to fight.

So he bowed down.
