Chapter 8 Beating to Death

Night fell again, and Changyuan Street became very quiet. After two consecutive murders, the residents of this street became very cautious. After nightfall, they dared not make any noise. They closed the doors and windows, and even placed self-defense tools at the head of each bed. The rolling pins and kitchen knives were the most common items.

The county government was very tight-lipped. Some well-informed people only knew that two murders had occurred on Changyuan Street, and the deaths of several people were strange, but they did not know clearly that it was the work of monsters.

Therefore, there was no excessive panic in the county.

In the dark night, at the intersection of Changyuan Street, the magistrate Mi Ke was squatting here with a group of yamen runners, all looking at Changyuan Street in the night nervously.

"What is Chen Zhenshoushi doing? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Mi Ke turned his head and looked into the distance. He didn't see any figure, and his heart was hanging even more ups and downs. Now it was almost midnight, why didn't this guy come yet?

He has put his life and property on Chen Chao. If this guy is unreliable, he will lose his 100 pounds.

Zhang Zhubu held a steel knife. There was no fear in his eyes at this moment. Instead, he was a little excited. He lowered his voice and said, "Chen Zhenshoushi is a martial arts expert. I'm afraid he has come a long time ago. He probably didn't meet us in order not to alert the enemy."

Although Zhang Zhubu looks rough, he is actually very meticulous. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to work in this position for so many years.

Mi Ke nodded, half-believing and half-doubting, "It shouldn't be difficult to subdue the monster this time, right? Do you know what realm Chen Zhenshoushi is in?"

Zhang Zhubu shook his head and said softly, "Anyway, he should be a pure warrior. As for which realm he is in, I can't tell you for sure."

In the Daliang Dynasty, monks and warriors coexisted. Warriors were simple, and there was only one way, but there were many schools of monks, all with their own magical powers. People who had never set foot in cultivation could not explain the ways of it at all. An outsider like Zhang Zhubu only knew that it seemed that the world roughly divided the realm of cultivation into six levels. All monks and warriors were applicable.

There was a saying that there was a realm and a sky in the six realms.

As for which realm the young Zhenshoushi was in now, he didn't know.

However, the peaceful days in the past few years alone reminded them all the time that the realm of the young Zhenshoushi with a mysterious origin was definitely not low.

There is one more thing that you don't need to think about. If Chen Chao can't deal with the monster, then all of them together will not be the opponent.

I don't know if Mi Ke has ever thought that Chen Chao will leave here one day. Anyway, every time Zhang Zhubu thinks of such things, he will feel very painful.

Just when Zhang Zhubu was suffering by himself, he suddenly found that the county magistrate beside him also showed a painful expression.

Zhang Zhubu was stunned and was moved for a moment. Could it be that he and the magistrate were so tacitly connected?

Just when Zhang Zhubu was full of tears, Mi Ke had already put one hand on his shoulder, and with a little force, Zhang Zhubu felt a feeling he had never had before.

His big face with a beard was slightly red, and he was actually a little shy.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Zhang Zhubu asked with concern.

"My legs are numb." Mi Ke frowned, and then his whole face relaxed. The pain faded away. He tried to lean on Zhang Zhubu so that his legs would not have to work hard.

Zhang Zhubu instantly became lost, feeling that something had floated away.

"It's almost the second watch. Is Chen Chao coming? Why is there no movement at all?" Mi Ke gradually became a little irritated and began to lose his temper.

...

...

When Chen Chao went out, it was not dark yet. Xie Nandu moved the newly bought stove out, sat in the old chair under the corridor, and lit the charcoal inside.

This was the first time she did this kind of thing. At first, she seemed a little clumsy, but soon she became proficient. After lighting the stove she bought with her own money, Xie Nandu grabbed a handful of snow and washed her hands. She sat back and stretched out her hands. Hot mist began to come out of her two snow-white hands.

Looking at the brand new stove, she was a little disappointed, probably because it was not there.

Compared with the food she had eaten before, it was really not worth mentioning, but she had never felt that sweetness before.

Her hands dried quickly.

But a gust of wind blew behind her.

With a creak, the wooden door of the yard was slammed heavily against the walls on both sides.

The wind and snow poured into the small yard.

Along with the wind and snow, there was also a figure.

He walked through the courtyard, came to the corridor, and shook off the wind and snow on his body.

Xie Nandu did not turn his head, but still put his hands on the stove, without saying a word.

Until the man walked several feet behind her, she withdrew her hands, stood up, walked to the bench opposite the stove and sat down, and now she was face to face with the man.

The man was a young man with a feminine face, pale face, thin body, and very thick clothes, a white cotton robe.

"As expected of the most outstanding disciple of the Bailu Xie family, with this calmness alone, I think it will be no problem for him to gain a foothold in the Divine Capital." The young man smiled and spoke with admiration in his voice.

"But since you have guessed something, why don't you stay with the young garrison commander all the time? Don't you want to implicate him?" The young man smiled, "The Bailu Xie family is still inferior to the Divine Capital Xie family after all."

The girl sitting on the bench said calmly, "This is a matter between us, there is no need to involve others."

"I originally thought you would die in that mountain temple, but I didn't expect you to be lucky." The young man's voice was very calm, as if he was stating the most common thing. There was nothing worth paying attention to. .

"That old guy Song Lian still seems to have some skills."

It was his initial plan to lure the blood demon to kill the girl and her group on that mountain, but he never expected that Song Lian, who was already at the end of his battle, could actually leave a glimmer of hope for the girl.

"Since you are so afraid of being known, killing me here will leave more clues, aren't you afraid?" Xie Nandu looked at the young man and said calmly, "Raising monsters can even make it look like monsters eating people." , but as soon as the big shots from the Divine Capital come, they are bound to find many flaws."

The young man nodded and agreed very much with this, "It was indeed my fault before. I thought that your death must be seamless, but then I figured out the truth. After you die, there won't be so many problems. After all, who would go to war over a dead man?”

Xie Nandu shook his head, "The White Deer Xie family will not let their most outstanding son

My brother died so mysteriously. "

"You are wrong. If you were really a genius and you were young and mature, then you would not have died here. If you had died here, how could you be called a genius?"

The young man looked sarcastic, "If you are not a genius, who will care if you are immortal?"

Xie Nandu stopped talking. At this point, she knew all the reasons.

There are people in Shendu who don’t want her to appear safely in Shendu, but there is no way that person can influence the real big shots of the Xie family in Shendu, and his methods cannot be hidden from the eyes of those big shots. To be able to do all this is obviously with tacit approval. of.

Even when leaving Bailu, the number of followers and their level of realm were all tacitly approved by someone.

Why acquiesce?

There was some strange emotion in Xie Nandu's eyes, but it just passed by for a moment, and he returned to calm in an instant. This girl, who had gone through all kinds of hardships to get to Tianqing County, just said calmly, "Those big shots in the capital of God, I think you are right." I don’t mean anything malicious.”

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, they just want to take a look, otherwise why is it me?"

"Aren't you afraid that you will become a scapegoat in the end?" Xie Nandu looked at him and said in a calm voice, "I do have a choice for you."

The admiration in the young man's eyes persisted, but he still shook his head, "What a pity."

Seeing how determined the young man was, Xie Nandu smiled and said nothing.

The young man glanced at the sky and sighed, "I really want to talk to you more, but I don't have enough time."

He shook his head regretfully.

A black demonic energy surged out from the ground in front of the young man, and in an instant a ferocious-looking monster appeared, completely black and extremely ugly. A strong demonic aura surrounds it, making people feel depressed at first glance.

"It's a pity that a beauty like you was eaten by such an ugly monster, but there's nothing we can do about it." The young man shook his head regretfully, and then waved.

A strange energy surged out from his fingers and slowly floated away.

The ugly monster started running instantly!

Within a short distance of a few feet, the monster only needed one breath to reach Xie Nandu and completely kill the most respected girl of Bailu Xie's generation!

The young man narrowed his eyes, as if he could already foresee the outcome of this story.

next moment.

boom--

There was a loud noise!

The monster failed to reach Xie Nandu.

A black figure jumped from the roof and crashed into the monster instantly.

The huge impact instantly took the monster away from the corridor.

The monster screamed, but the sound immediately disappeared.

What replaced its cry was the sound of some kind of blunt instrument hitting flesh and blood.

Continuous sounds sounded like spring thunder.

But isn’t it still winter?

The black figure hugged the monster and fell into the snow. After an instant, there was no sound.

The heavy snow in the sky suddenly stopped, and then when it returned to normal, the black figure had already stood up from the snow.

It's Chen Chao.

The young man in black clothes dressed in wind and snow raised his head. With the flow of Qi in his body, the wind and snow on the black clothes were instantly blown away, and there were no more snowflakes.

The law fell on the young man's body.

The young man in black standing in the wind and snow is full of blood!

He looked at the young man standing in the corridor. There was no unnecessary emotion in his eyes as bright as stars.

The young man frowned and was about to speak. The muscles of the black-clothed young man in the courtyard instantly tensed up. His slightly hunched body straightened in an instant, like an arrow from a string. He stepped on the ground and It was already heading towards the young man!

The monster was several feet away from Xie Nandu before, and now Chen Chao and the young man were also several feet away. The monster was punched to death by Chen Chao before it could reach Xie Nandu. Can he now touch the young man's body again?

No matter how much the monks in the world look down on warriors, everyone knows that once a monk is approached by a warrior, it will definitely not be a good outcome.

After the young man lost consciousness for a short time, he came back to his senses, tiptoed, and exited the corridor and returned to the courtyard.

Compared with Chen Chao, who was like a fierce beast, his movements were obviously more graceful and more in line with the so-called immortal style.

He had known the identity of the black-clothed boy who suddenly appeared. He was the governor of Tianqing County, but he did not expect that the governor of this small county was much higher than he expected!

Is it Lingtai or Shenzang?

If it was a Lingtai warrior, he would still have the strength to fight, but if the opponent was a Shenzang warrior, then...

"Do you know..."

The young man was floating in the air, with aura lingering between his fingers. He opened his mouth, but only said half of the words and stopped abruptly.

The black-clothed boy who looked like a fierce beast disappeared in an instant. While he was still stunned, his figure appeared in front of him again.

A handsome face appeared in front of him.

The expressionless black-clothed boy just looked at him like this.

Before he could react, a not-too-big fist had already hit him in the face!

Crack——

With a crisp sound, the young man's nose bone shattered. The severe pain made him stop thinking for a while, and then he felt pain all over his body.

The sound of broken bones continued to ring, and those fists kept falling, crackling, like the sound of raindrops falling on the green tiles on the roof.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed to be just a moment, but it seemed to have been a long time.

The sound finally stopped.

Xie Nandu looked at the scene happening in the courtyard, a little absent-minded.

This moment seemed to bring her back to the night in the mountain temple, the same silent boy, doing what he had to do in silence.

It seemed that only when fighting, the boy in black was his true self.

When Xie Nandu came to his senses, Chen Chao had dragged the young man who was breathing more than breathing to the corridor. With his chest heaving, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and adjusted his breathing.

Xie Nandu was about to speak.

But she soon saw Chen Chao squatting in front of the young man, ignoring the young man with blood still gushing out of his mouth, and began to search the young man's body seriously.

He looked a little excited.

Xie Nandu looked at this scene and lost his mind again.

She stood in the wind, a little messy.
