Chapter 578 Difficulty Traveling

Based on his previous experience, Du Chengfeng did not give back the control of his body this time.

Although controlling Constable Tian's body was a little troublesome for Du Chengfeng now, it was just a little troublesome. If he really wanted to do it, he could still do it even if he only had a broken body left - so after making sure that he would not be discovered by those powerful men, Du Chengfeng took Constable Tian and left Jiange Town directly.

This time, Du Chengfeng, who suffered a loss, simply gave up the idea of ​​cooperation.

He prepared himself to come.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Constable Tian was still shouting desperately, and even trying to regain control of his body - although he had already noticed that there was something strange about the broken sword, he had never thought that this broken sword would be so strange.

This feeling was very similar to when the evil spirit entered his brain, but it was completely different. If when the evil spirit entered his brain, he was simply driven by the evil spirit and eager to kill, then now he could clearly feel that there was a will that did not belong to him, forcibly controlling his body!

"Who the hell are you! Let me go!"

"Can you still speak..."

After realizing this, Du Chengfeng simply increased his efforts.

Pei Ran held up Constable Tian's jaw with great force, and the enormous force made it impossible for him to open his mouth.

If this field detective were allowed to talk nonsense, it might really bring him some trouble. At least, it would be easy for him to get into trouble when he was walking on the road.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he is really afraid of trouble, but his current goal is to collect the remains, so it is better to have less trouble than more.

Constable Tian, ​​whose mouth was sealed, was still trying to make a sound, but Du Chengfeng had already controlled his body all the way out of Jiange Town.

He could feel that there was a piece of himself sealed nearby.

Traveling on the road alone and on horseback, Du Chengfeng felt a little relaxed after a long time. After all, if it weren't for the dangerous war, he would have to lead the people of Yangjiabao to the south for refuge. He had actually thought about traveling around on horseback, all over the country - and now, after a long time had passed, even after his body was broken, he unexpectedly got such an opportunity again.

"It's just that this road is too difficult to walk on."

Riding a horse on the mountain road, even though Du Chengfeng had a good temper, he couldn't help but grumble at this moment.

The southwest is mountainous, which is very unfamiliar to Du Chengfeng who has been in the plains for too long. In order to pass through these mountains smoothly, Du Chengfeng can only take those steep paths - this undoubtedly greatly slows down his travel time, and it is no wonder that he would be dissatisfied.

If it were in the past, he could just fly over a mountain like this, but now, if he took off for no reason, he would probably become a sitting duck for those powerful people.

After all, these days, there are very few masters who can take off.

"Maybe I should try to get them all to learn how to fly, so that I won't be so conspicuous if I take off myself?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think so. After all, the best way to hide a drop of water is to throw it into the sea.

However, this idea is just a thought for now. Even if he really does this, it will take some time for people to learn to fly.

"But... just because you can't fly doesn't mean you can't jump."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng simply gave up his horse and only took dry food, water and weapons. Then he controlled Constable Tian's body and flew to the top of the tree.

It must be said that the quality of Constable Tian is indeed much higher than that of the old blacksmith. He has already stood on the top of a tree two meters high, but he is not frightened at all, and his face is still calm and his heart is not beating fast.

No, this doesn't seem to be a problem that can be solved without blushing or feeling nervous.

Having walked such a long distance without sleep and under his control, Constable Tian could barely breathe and was almost suffocating to death.

"Ah this."

Seeing that there was no one around, Du Chengfeng loosened his control over Constable Tian a little.

"Okay, now you can say something."

"what!"

Feeling the relaxation of the oppression, Constable Tian took a deep breath, savoring the long-lost breath of freedom.

But only his head was free; his body was still controlled by the broken sword.

"So why did you come to me?"

The first thing Constable Tian did after coming to his senses was to ask questions. After all, this kind of thing was beyond his comprehension - he was obviously just a small constable with evil spirit in his body, and this Broken Sword didn't look like an ordinary thing at all. The two of them should have been in two different worlds and should never have any intersection.

But this broken sword just happened to find him and even brought him all the way here.

This made Constable Tian extremely puzzled.

"Why did I choose you... maybe you are just unlucky."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed true. Although for him, this was a good luck, but for Constable Tian, ​​it was already an unexpected disaster - it was because of his control that Constable Tian directly lost a great opportunity and was brought all the way into the deep mountains and forests, and he didn't even know whether he could go back alive.

Yes, just like the previous Yaoguang Xingjun, each powerful person has his own special methods and his own unique skills. Du Chengfeng is also a powerful person, and he is sure that other powerful people cannot kill him, but if ordinary people are involved...

This was already a huge danger for Constable Tian.

"That's fine."

After thinking for a moment, Du Chengfeng finally chose not to get it for free.

"Bringing you here is a bit of trouble for you, but there are some things I have to do. So since I have borrowed your body, I will do my best to protect you. When this matter is over, I will not let you return empty-handed."

"That's not OK!"

To Du Chengfeng's surprise, Constable Tian actually shook his head violently.

"No, even if there are benefits! Who knows what you are going to do with my body!"

"...Ah this?"

Du Chengfeng choked on the spot.

Originally, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to help Constable Tian break the barrier that allowed the evil spirit to escape, and then keep the sword of the Star Lord Yaoguang. In this way, with both the skills and the magic weapon, Constable Tian would eventually become a powerful person - but just when he was still thinking about what method to use to help Constable Tian break the barrier, Constable Tian actually chose not to.

This... you don't want any benefits?

"Don't you want to hear what you can get?"

"I won't listen!"

Constable Tian was still shaking his head desperately.

"I will not allow someone like you to bring disaster to the world!"

"You..." Du Chengfeng was speechless for a moment.

Obviously, unlike the old blacksmith, it is useless to try to bribe Constable Tian.

However, Constable Tian's words made him see another possibility.

"Bringing disaster to the people? Do you think I am bringing disaster to the people?"

Du Chengfeng conveyed his thoughts.

"Then tell me, how did I bring disaster to the people?"

"So many people died in Jiange Town! They were all killed by that old blacksmith!"

Constable Tian argued his case.

"Now it seems that it's all because of you, the devil! You killed so many people! If it's not a disaster to the people, then what else can it be!"

"you……"

Du Chengfeng was immediately delighted.

"Killing too many people means bringing disaster to the people? Then tell me, whether it's the Giant Shark Gang or those big families, which one of them can make the world a better place?"

"This……"

This time, it was Constable Tian's turn to be speechless.

Although Constable Tian believed that killing was a crime and a disaster for the world, he could not find any reason to refute the thought in his heart.

Rather than saying that the Giant Shark Gang dominated the area, it would be more accurate to say that they were causing trouble for the area. In addition, the several large families were rampant in the countryside on weekdays, committing countless illegal acts - but because of the existence of the county magistrate and the head of the police, no one filed a case, and these illegal acts were allowed to continue...

"So, you are the one who did the good thing?"

Constable Tian was confused for a moment as his mind was running around in circles.

"Killing people is actually a good thing?"

"I think you should have your own set of criteria for judging right and wrong."

Du Chengfeng neither admitted it nor denied it.

He chose to let Constable Tian figure it out himself.

"If you're done judging, then I want to tell you now that what we are doing now is also similar... So, do you understand?"

"Understood."

Constable Tian nodded slowly.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that his control over Constable Tian's body had suddenly become much easier.

Constable Tian no longer resisted his control, at least not as much as before.

"Since you want to do good deeds, what's wrong with me lending you my body temporarily?"

"You're...okay."

Seeing that Constable Tian was so heroic, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look up to the new swordsman.

Maybe his luck was really too good this time.

At least as it stands now, there is no one more suitable than Constable Tian.

On the rest of the journey, Du Chengfeng also discovered that Constable Tian seemed unexpectedly easy to please - you know, when facing the old blacksmith, he still needed to try to guide him all the way, and even bribe him, before the old blacksmith would muster up the courage to follow him. But if it was Constable Tian, ​​even if he just gave a few more copper coins to a beggar when he met him, the other party would be very happy.

"This……"

After once again spending money to help an orphan who sold himself to bury his father and making Constable Tian happy, Du Chengfeng was a little hesitant about whether he should take Constable Tian further into the mountains.

The reason is simple, simply because Constable Tian is really a good man.

Although Constable Tian was not easy to get along with, his upright character reminded Du Chengfeng of Ruan Shantao - he remembered that old man was also upright, but also had a broad mind. Even after his death, his large amount of ashes brought rich products to Wangyou Township and nourished these refugees.

"I don't know what's going on in Wangyou Township."

Du Chengfeng's heart sank when he thought of this.

Since he had been dismembered and suppressed, all those who were related to him were also within the attack range of those powerful beings - at least as far as he knew, the Star Lord Tan Lang, who had some friendship with him, had been killed by these powerful beings.

As for Forget-your-sorrow Village...

“I hope these so-called powerful people won’t be so mean.”

Although he said this, Du Chengfeng already wanted to fly back and take a look.

But it is not possible to fly back now. Once he takes off and is alone in the air, no matter how good his body shape is, it will be useless. If he flies back like this, he will probably not bring any safety, but only concentrated fire attacks from the powerful.

"After all, even if we were in each other's shoes, I would probably do the same thing as waiting for the enemy to come and surrounding the enemy to attack the reinforcements."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng, or rather, Constable Tian who was under his control, couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Strength. He still needs strength right now.

As long as he can continue to piece together his body, even if it's only one third of it, he will be able to fight against those powerful people.

The battle here does not refer to a one-on-one fight. If it was just a one-on-one fight, Du Chengfeng would not be afraid. The problem is that those powerful men have never thought of fighting him one-on-one. He has been labeled as an extraterritorial demon and anyone can kill him.

"So...what's the purpose of this?"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but recall the battle.

Although he fought with great passion and was extremely heroic in his attitude of fighting one against ten thousand, thinking about it afterwards, there were many strange things about the incident itself - although the timing of the arrival of those powerful men was very clever, it happened to be when he had mastered the power of equality among all beings, which could indeed be considered a reason to take action.

But judging from the subsequent handling...this reason doesn't seem to be so tenable.

Looking back now, it was true that the battle was aimed at him, but it also seemed that it was not simply aimed at him. After all, if they really wanted to take action against this so-called extraterritorial demon, there was no need to do it at this time - since these powerful people already knew him so well, they could have killed him before he grew up. Why did they have to wait until he became powerful and immortal before coming to trouble him?
What's more, he even cooperated with many powerful people. For example, when he was in the fisherman's cave, if these powerful people really wanted him dead, they could have attacked him and taken his life as soon as he escaped from the fisherman's fish pond.

"But they didn't do that. They chose a time when I got the power, a time when they were least likely to kill me."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng felt something vaguely.

It was at this time that he arrived at the place he was looking for.
