Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 217 Peace is Paramount? Get out of here, kill the magistrate!
"Chief Constable Lu, we should value harmony and discuss everything."

"Don't get violent, don't get violent. We're all neighbors, let's not ruin our relationship."

An elderly constable stood in front of Lu Yuan, smiling obsequiously, hoping to calm him down.

However, it is counterproductive.

Lu Yuan's anger did not subside; instead, it became even more irritable.

"Peace is paramount?"

"Me and your grandpa."

"Did you ever consider the importance of peace when you attacked my people?"

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly how they got their injuries?"

"Don't tell me you don't know."

“When I, Wangyou County, tried to explain the rules to you, Anle County ignored me and even resorted to violence.”

"Now that I've brought people here to demand justice, you're all starting to talk about 'harmony' again?"

"Aren't you being too polite?"

Who do you think you are?

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Yuan sent the smiling constable flying dozens of meters away.

However, Lu Yuan had no intention of hitting him.

After all, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, and Lu Yuan is a very reasonable person.

Since you weren't involved, I won't kill you.

If you get involved, even if you're the King of Heaven, you'll still get punched by me.

"Ouch, my back."

The old constable fell to the ground and struggled to his feet. Seeing that Lu Yuan and the others had already gone far away, he could only sit down to the side, clutching his waist.

He knew that if he continued to obstruct the process, he would die.

Ugh.

Sin ah.

Magistrate, oh magistrate, of all people to mess with, why did you have to provoke Lu Yuan?

This old constable has a remarkable background; he was once a head constable in Anle County.

Unfortunately, the yamen recruited constables who were not naturally gifted. These local constables were weak and did not know how to please their superiors. Gradually, he was also removed from his position as head constable.

In Anle County at present, all the positions of head constable and chief constable are held by extraordinary constables.

These local constables had long been kicked out of the power circle.

Their local police officers don't even have the right to handle cases, let alone accept cases or perform similar duties.

The local constables were left with only street patrols and clerical work.

Old Chen's application to transfer his household registration was approved through his intervention.

Otherwise, this step could have stalled Old Chen for a year or two.

……

"Captain Jin, please mind your own business."

"That magistrate deserved to die."

The constable standing nearby quickly helped the old constable up and said helplessly.

"Sigh, after all, we were colleagues."

The old constable sighed.

"You treat him as your superior, but has he ever treated us as his subordinates?"

"Officer Jin, you've worked for the government for thirty years, has he ever shown you even the slightest bit of leniency?"

"As soon as those extraordinary constables joined, he couldn't wait to remove us from our positions. You, me, and Chief Constable Liu are all junior constables now, and our salaries and benefits have all returned to square one."

Why bother with such an unrighteous and heartless official?

The constable standing to the side was very unhappy. He was unwilling to have his position replaced. He had served the yamen for more than ten years, and he was being dismissed from his position as head constable without any mercy.

Yes, their local constables are weak.

But don't forget, the same applies elsewhere.

But have the positions and benefits of constables in other places been reduced?
No.

not a single one.

Local constables in other places, even if they are weak, retain their positions, such as head constable or chief constable, and their salaries and benefits.

The promotion systems for local constables and constables with special abilities are completely separate and do not interfere with each other.

Local constables have their own chief constables, and so do constables with unusual personalities.

Of course, these vary from person to person and from place to place, but generally speaking, they are similar.

However, Anle County has been the only place to reduce the treatment of local police officers from the beginning.

Doesn't this prove that the magistrate discarded his tools after they had served their purpose?

With superiors like that, what's the point of them doing any work?

save him?

What a load of crap! I don't care if this idiot magistrate lives or dies; I just hope he dies soon and is reincarnated.

So that I won't be an eyesore or disgust people living in this world.

"That's not a crime punishable by death."

The old constable said in a low voice.

"Not deserving of death? You're talking nonsense."

"How can he not deserve to die? He deserves to die a thousand deaths! He's corrupt, lawless, and has harmed countless people!"

"How many heinous things has his nephew done? How many innocent people have suffered? Can't you see it?"

As the constable spoke, his tone grew increasingly dissatisfied.

Finally, he glanced at the old constable again, then turned and left.

To him, the old constable was beyond saving.

He's lying through his teeth, so stupid and foolish. Why doesn't Lu Yuan just slap him to death?

I bother.

……

"Chief Constable, these guys beat us up."

Suddenly, a constable with supernatural abilities on the road pointed to the constable with supernatural abilities from Anle County ahead and said loudly.

"They are, right?"

"it is good."

Once Lu Yuan identified his target, with a loud bang, he arrived in front of the group at lightning speed. Without any further ado, he unleashed a devastating attack.

Using his palms as knives, he plunged them into a man's chest, applying force from both sides. In a flash, the superhuman player was torn in two, his body turning into specks of light and dissipating.

Instant kill.

"Old Lin, you son of a bitch."

"Get him."

The other two players reacted and were about to fight back when they were surprised to find that Lu Yuan was even faster. He grabbed their heads with both hands and squeezed them hard. With a snap, their health bars were reduced to zero, and they turned into specks of light and disappeared.

dead.

Wow, that was fast.

"Is this what they call numerical dominance? It's truly impressive."

The extraordinary constable behind him exclaimed in amazement, "Awesome!"

"Walk."

Lu Yuan clapped his hands, and the red flames on his body gradually subsided.

He called to the constables behind him to follow, and they hurried toward the yamen (government office).

On both sides of the road, curious locals and players who came to watch the drama unfolded.

The common people don't know what's happening, but the players do.

They thought Lu Yuan would just spout some empty words.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yuan acted so decisively, without uttering a single word, and went straight to killing.

Lu Yuan is really irritable today.

……

Anle County Government Office.

"It's terrible, sir! It's terrible, sir! Lu Yuan is coming!"

When the clerk of Anle County received the news, he was so frightened that he rushed back to the yamen and informed the county magistrate.

"Lu Yuan? He dares?"

"How dare he, a mere official, act recklessly?"

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Isn't he afraid that I will appeal to the court and punish him?"

The magistrate immediately understood that Lu Yuan had come to settle scores. He was not intimidated and immediately ordered all the constables in the yamen to gather together, intending to go out and confront Lu Yuan head-on.

afraid?
What does he have to be afraid of?

He was an official, while Lu Yuan was a clerk. In this world, what official is afraid of a clerk?

Lu Yuan is indeed very strong, but so what?
How dare a mere clerk offend his superior?

He was an official appointed by the imperial court.

……

The two groups soon encountered each other not far from the yamen.

As soon as the magistrate of Anle County saw Lu Yuan, he stepped forward aggressively, pointed at Lu Yuan, and was about to reprimand him when...

Without wasting words, Lu Yuan stepped forward, looking down at the dwarf below, his eyes gleaming red.

"You..." "What are you going to do?"

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court; you cannot harm me."

The magistrate of Anle County was frightened.

He felt that Lu Yuan seemed a bit off.

The murderous aura was palpable.

"What am I supposed to do? You know the answer to that question."

A crimson aura erupted, and a large hand slowly descended upon the magistrate's head.

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me! If you kill me, the imperial court won't let you off the hook."

The magistrate wanted to resist, but unfortunately, he couldn't move his legs.

The aura emanating from Lu Yuan pressed down on him like a mountain, rendering him unable to move.

"You are no longer an official appointed by the imperial court."

"Princess Anyang hereby orders you to be relieved of your post as county magistrate. Your life or death is in my hands."

A princess's decree landed in front of the magistrate of Anle County. The magistrate looked at the decree with disbelief in his eyes.

"It's fake. This is fake."

"You can't kill me, you can't..."

Click.

Lu Yuan didn't have time to interrogate him.

With just a little force, he crushed the magistrate's head, giving him no chance to argue.

Lu Yuan tossed the headless corpse of the county magistrate aside.

Are any of the people here who hurt you?

Lu Yuan pointed to the constables who had gathered in front of him.

"Yes, that one, that one, and that advisor, he's the most arrogant."

"Yes, yes, he even thought about killing us before."

"Chief Constable, we can't let him get away with this!"

Several people pointed to the constables in the crowd.

The constables who were accused did not run away; instead, they were extremely arrogant.

Is this all you're capable of?

"Finding an NPC as a backer is a disgrace to us players."

"I bother."

"Let me tell you, this isn't over."

"Once we are resurrected, you will all be dead."

Those extraordinary constables were all players from the Zhanyi Society; in reality, they were a group of fearless and spirited young men.

die?
What's there to be afraid of about dying in a game?

What they fear least is death.

"Someone who threatened me to my face?"

"Do you mean I don't exist?"

Lu Yuan was furious and threw a punch.

Bang.

The player who was hit instantly exploded into golden light.

The other players drew their swords and slashed at Lu Yuan, their faces showing absolutely no fear.

"Clang clang clang."

When the blade struck Lu Yuan, it felt like striking a rock; sparks flew, but he was completely unharmed.

"That's it?"

"A fourth-grade cultivator doesn't even have the most basic swordsmanship?"

Do you look down on me?

Lu Yuan was speechless.

Are these guys out of their minds?

Knowing he was very strong, they didn't use their strongest moves to attack him, or even use any skills to slash him; they just slashed him with a normal sword strike.

what?
Are you sick?

I gave you a chance to attack, and you just used a basic attack?

That's idiotic.

Lu Yuan grabbed one of the men's knives with his backhand and squeezed it gently. The long sword shattered instantly. Lu Yuan caught the fragments and threw them at the men in front of him.

A brush sound.

The fragments instantly pierced through the people in front, reducing their health bars to zero, and they vanished in golden light, instantly killed.

"Cut him down."

"The Great Snow Blade, an invincible strike."

"Splitting Mount Hua with all his might".

"Double swords flying slash."

"The Great Ocean Tide Sword, I thrust, thrust, thrust."

With their inner energy surging, the players unleashed their strongest moves.

It's said to be the strongest move, but in reality, it's just so-so.

It's an ordinary, unremarkable Xuan-level martial art, with no special effects whatsoever, and utterly intimidating.

"What rubbish."

Lu Yuan stomped his foot, and the ground shook instantly. A crack appeared in the ground beneath his feet, from which rocks flew out and smashed several players within the crack's range.

"Level 5A combo".

Lu Yuan stepped forward and unleashed five punches, each one heavier and with a larger area of ​​effect than the last.

Let alone a punch, the mere gust of wind from a punch can kill if it just grazes you.

Nearly a hundred extraordinary constables were wiped out in less than five minutes under Lu Yuan's command.

The advisor also met his end; Lu Yuan brutally tore off his limbs and left him to bleed to death.
The remaining local constables, seeing the clerk's miserable state, remained silent and completely ignored his cries for help.

They're not stupid; they see the situation clearly.

Intervening rashly will only lead to certain death.

Besides, whether this advisor lives or dies is none of their business.

Many of these people had their positions removed by their advisors.

They hate him so much, how could they possibly save him?

They didn't come up; they just stood quietly in a corner, clearly not wanting to get involved.

Lu Yuan didn't bother with them.

As long as they don't do anything reckless, Lu Yuan wouldn't mind giving them a way out.

As I said before, I, Lu, never kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"You bastard."

"Lu Yuan, you'd better give up your life."

A loud shout came from behind.

Several highly skilled constables emerged from the street behind them.

Their target was Lu Yuan.

"Hmm, you guys look quite familiar."

"Oh, I remember now, aren't you the eunuch Yiren from last year?"

Lu Yuan remembered that these people were the strange people he had castrated after they ran naked.
He remembered that not long after their execution, these men left Wangyou County.

I never expected they were in Anle County.

"Shut the hell up."

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

The group immediately unleashed their ultimate attacks.

"You think you're so tough that you want to kill our chief constable?"

"Hahaha, I remember now, you guys don't have any skills, hahaha."

"Brothers, there are only five of them. Let's go together and take them down."

The player constables behind Lu Yuan drew their weapons and rushed forward.

You used to outnumber us, so we couldn't beat you.

Now, the roles of offense and defense have reversed.

We outnumber you, how are you going to win?
Although the level of the enemy from Wangyou County is lower, they have more people. More than a dozen people are surrounding five people and beating them up. It's three against one, so the advantage is on my side.

Soon, they were forced to retreat in defeat. Just as they were struggling to figure out how to escape the encirclement, Lu Yuan made his move.

Lu Yuan appeared behind them and punched them in the lower back.

"Ah, my kidneys."

The leader let out a scream and quickly turned into golden light; the remaining people were also quickly killed.

"Old Sun, take your men to the magistrate's house, take control of his family, and escort them back. Seize all the valuables in the magistrate's house."

"The rest of you, come with me to the Li family's house."
