The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1757 Justice Delayed Is Not Justice at All!

Linzhen County, on a bustling street,

Merchants shuttle back and forth,

This is a crucial point on the road to Hexi Corridor, because further ahead lies the territory of the Western Xia people.

Shuofang was precisely the front line where the two sides' border troops were locked in a standoff.
Dressed in a black robe, Zhang Cheng concealed his constable's uniform inside and quietly walked towards the Prince's mansion.

Dark clouds churned in the sky, and the drizzling raindrops quickly turned into a downpour.

Zhang Cheng bought a bamboo umbrella from a roadside vendor, opened it, and went to the door.
Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, the gatekeeper said with a rather arrogant tone, "Get out of here! Do you even know where this is? A prince's mansion!"

"I am Yi Zhonghai, the Celestial Venerable of Morality, and I request an audience with the Prince!"

Upon uttering his name, Zhang Cheng involuntarily raised his head, revealing eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

"I don't care if you're the Celestial Venerable of Morality or the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, get out of my way! Don't stand in front of the Prince's Mansion, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, the gatekeeper rolled up his sleeves, seemingly intending to come down and teach Zhang Cheng a lesson.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Cheng kicked up his robe and slammed it into the gatekeeper's chest, yelling, "You bastard, you dare to utter the words 'Lingbao'? Do you really think I can't lift a knife anymore?!"

"Oh!"

His body slammed heavily against the gate, and the gatekeeper felt his sternum crack open.
Just then, the gate was flung open, and the steward and servants rushed out, roaring, "Who dares to cause trouble in my palace? Don't they want to live?"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Zhang Cheng stepped forward, holding an umbrella in his left hand and a knife in his right.

"Today, I, Yi Zhonghai, the Moral Celestial Venerable, will tell you what justice truly is!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and slashed down with his sword.

When the terrified head crashed to the ground, the butler and servants were dumbfounded.

Before they could even shout, Zhang Cheng had already brought his knife down.

In an instant, the servants at the door were hacked down and lay in pools of blood, their eyes filled with fear.

Rushing into the mansion in a panic, the steward roared in fear, "Master, master, something terrible has happened! Gangsters from the martial arts world have stormed the mansion!"

"What's the panic? Can't you just talk things out?"

Looking at the butler with disdain, Master Wang, his large belly protruding, glanced at the women dressed in traditional Chinese undergarments beside him, casually setting down his teacup.

Standing trembling beside them, the women appeared extremely frightened, their bodies covered in various whip marks.
Because in the Prince's mansion, if they were not careful, they would be whipped to death by the Prince himself.

"Master, a powerful figure has arrived outside, claiming to be Yi Zhonghai, the Moral Celestial Venerable. He started killing people as soon as he entered the door, and he's probably about to be taken to the Central Court!"

Seeing that Master Wang remained calm and composed, the butler hurriedly offered an explanation.
"What? You were born into this family, and you're only just now bringing this up!"

Upon suddenly hearing the butler's words, Master Wang picked up the teacup beside him and smashed it over his head.
Hearing the sound of shattering, the butler, ignoring the blood streaming down his face, immediately cried out, "Master, run! That man is probably here for revenge!"

"You weed, I'll deal with you after I've finished this matter!"

Standing up, Master Wang couldn't help but walk outside.
Because he has quite a few "retainers" in his mansion, even if that person is fierce, how could he possibly beat them!
However, just as Master Wang was walking towards the front yard, a figure appeared in front of him.

Looking down at the other person, Master Wang was terrified and exclaimed, "Instructor Ou, what is this?!"

"Master Wang, where on earth did you offend such a murderous star? We can't stop him!"

Spitting out stagnant blood, Coach Ou couldn't help but feel regret.
He came to the Prince's mansion simply to earn a living by relying on his skill with weapons, but who would have thought that the Prince's mansion was no pushover, and that something would happen there every month?
Although his martial arts skills were quite good, he still noticed something was amiss.
But upon learning that Master Wang was actually the biggest kidnapper in the nearby county, they couldn't help but feel terrified.

He had originally planned to flee tomorrow, but who would have thought that a "powerful dragon would cross the river" today!
"Instructor Ou, you can't fall! If you fall, what will happen to the Wang family!" Looking at Instructor Ou before him, Master Wang panicked.

Because the person he relied on most was Coach Ou in front of him, but now it seems that he is no match for him at all!
"Master Wang, this time it's not just your manor that's going to be in trouble, but we might also lose our lives!"

Staggering to his feet, Coach Ou, supporting himself with the stick in his hand, managed to speak.
"Boom!"

Thunder ripped through the sky,

Looking down into the torrential rain, a person holding a bamboo umbrella was using their long sword as a silver screen to block attacks flawlessly.
"Wow!"

With a single, fatal blow, Zhang Cheng used his bamboo umbrella to shield himself from the gushing blood, then swung it up again for another strike.
Seeing more than ten people surround and attack him, yet all of them were killed and fell to the ground, even Master Wang felt a sense of fear spreading within him.

"Coach Ou, Coach Ou, you..."

"Huh? Where's Coach Ou?"

Looking in disbelief at his surroundings, Master Wang was also astonished after realizing that Instructor Ou had disappeared.
"Master, Instructor Ou has already escaped by scaling the wall!"

He shouted at Master Wang beside him, while the butler pointed to a man climbing over the wall not far away.
Stunned by the scene, Master Wang roared, "Damn it! I've been feeding and caring for you, and now you're abandoning me! Are you even human?!"

"Screw you! I was already planning to leave, but I just happened to get attacked today! I only make a few coins a month, why should I risk my life!"

While roaring at Master Wang, Instructor Ou shouted, "Hero, find him! Find him! Master Wang is the real culprit, and the accomplice in the government office is Registrar Liu!"

Right after Coach Ou finished speaking, he struggled to climb over the wall and escaped.

Watching Coach Ou's retreating figure, Zhang Cheng, knife in hand, said coldly, "You think you can stop me too?"

"Clang!"

They all dropped their weapons in unison, and the remaining retainers took a half step back, saying, "Heroes, we have nothing to do with the kidnapping, we really have nothing to do with it."

"Irrelevant? Then what are you all still standing there for? Aren't you going to get out and wait to be feasted?"

With a furious roar, Zhang Cheng looked at the group of people and couldn't help but howl.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the remaining retainers immediately scattered in a flash.
Just as the butler was about to take the opportunity to escape, Zhang Cheng kicked him back with a whip kick.
"Oh!"

His body crashed heavily to the ground, and the butler cried out in pain, "Hero, I was just following orders! Everything he told me to do was done by him. Let me go, let me go!"

Looking coldly at the butler, Zhang Cheng said nothing more, then raised his foot and stomped on his face, unleashing a sudden burst of fierce strength.

"Pfft!"

As the watermelon shattered, the butler also fell completely silent.

Terrified at the sight, Master Wang trembled all over and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "Hero, hero, spare my life, spare my life! I have money, I have money!"

Approaching Master Wang with an icy demeanor, Zhang Cheng looked down at him and said, "Do you know what justice delayed is called?"

Staring blankly at Zhang Cheng, Master Wang couldn't help but swallow hard and say, "Justice?"

"Wrong. Justice delayed is justice called the truth!"

With one hand, Zhang Cheng drew the chain from his waist used to bind the prisoner, staring at him and said, "Don't you enjoy whipping those poor people to death? I'm the same, but my target is you!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng swung the chain around and struck Master Wang directly on the shoulder.
"what!"

Amidst a piercing scream, Master Wang immediately howled in pain, struggling to turn around and try to escape.
However, Zhang Cheng's chains lashed down again, whipping Master Wang until he was covered in blood.
As he ran and howled in pain, Zhang Cheng followed leisurely behind, the chain in his hand tearing up pieces of flesh with each strike.
