Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Xingde County, Li Wuji's residence.

Zhou Chen hid in a dark corner, peering out.

When the two guards who were chatting saw Li Wuji approaching, they immediately stood on either side of the courtyard path and bowed.

Li Wuji strode angrily from a distance, his personal maid Xiaoli jogging after him.

"Young Master, you're only able to walk with your injuries. Don't get angry, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of Master's efforts to find the Zhao family's renowned physician for you?"

Hearing the maid's advice, Li Wuji slowed his pace.

His eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly. "That's true. My Li family is large and powerful. Martial arts cultivation is not about showing off one's courage for a moment, but about striving for long-term strength."

"As for agreeing to Zhou Chen's request to hire a divine physician to treat the good-for-nothing I injured, that can wait."

As his thoughts raced, Li Wuji felt his mind clear and even his throbbing injuries felt better.

Besides, he wasn't going to renege on his promise to Zhou Chen.

Instead, it should be handled slowly and deliberately, and in a planned manner.

If all else fails, just find any doctor to do the job.

Could it be that someone actually intends to argue with the young master of the Li family about the moral principles of keeping one's word?

In the shadows, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

During the banquet tonight, he repeatedly tested Li Wuji's thoughts with his words, and found that Li Wuji's words were evasive and that he clearly did not intend to fulfill his promise.

Hearing it with my own ears now brings a sense of relief.

At least this way, today's trip wasn't a complete waste.

Soon, Li Wuji crossed the courtyard and headed towards the bedroom, which was located to the east.

The two guards bowed for a long time until Li Wuji's figure completely disappeared before straightening up.

"That was close. If the young master had heard us talking about him, we would have been punished without a fight." Wiping the sweat from their brows, the two walked side by side to patrol another area of ​​the house.

After more than half an hour, the sound of the night watchman's drum came from outside the courtyard.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"At midnight, all is well!"

On the panel, the countdown to entering the old world has only half an hour left before it resets to zero.

The guards patrolling the courtyard for a long time looked tired.

In Xingde County, there are yamen runners patrolling at night and watchmen keeping watch, so the public security has always been good.

Since they started working here, they haven't seen even a petty thief, and over time they've let their guard down.

As for the man-eating monster, it can only frighten ordinary people at most.

After another round of patrols, Zhou Chen felt his blood and qi surge, and he moved his slightly numb limbs.

Within the psychic vision, the two figures in the main room to the east had not moved for a long time and were mostly fast asleep.

Zhou Chen pressed himself against the edge of the house, inserted his ten fingers into the wall, and soon he had climbed onto the roof.

Lifting the central tile and scanning the room, one could see two figures lying on a rosewood bed inside—Li Wuji and his personal maid.

At this moment, Zhou Chen looked at the dense wooden keel on the roof and thought to himself, "Oh no."

In the TV dramas I watched in my past life, those master thieves could freely sneak into other people's homes through the roof.

But with such dense dragon bones, and without the ability to shrink bones, how can one infiltrate?

He frowned and slowly drew his dagger.

Li Wuji is a petty and vindictive man. If he is allowed to continue to be tolerated, who knows how much trouble he will cause himself.

This time, we certainly can't leave empty-handed.

He removed a few more tiles, anchored himself where Li Wuji was, his pores closed and his muscles bulged, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

You only have one chance!

"boom!"

The next moment, he suddenly crashed through the roof and headed straight for the bed.

The moment the roof shattered, Li Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, and the naked maid lying beside him was so startled that she curled up in his arms.

Subconsciously, Li Wuji felt his blood and energy surge and was about to get out of bed.

At this moment, a thin, monkey-faced man wearing a purple rich man's jacket approached.

"who!"

Li Wuji's injuries had not yet healed, and every time his blood and qi passed through his chest and abdomen, he would feel excruciating pain. He could only shout out in an attempt to summon the guards.

"The one who will kill you!"

A flash of cold light, aimed straight for Li Wuji's throat.

Li Wuji raised his hand and struck Zhou Chen's wrist, attempting to block the dagger.

However, Zhou Chen, having broken through the Yi Jin Jing, possessed immense strength that Li Wuji, still recovering from serious injuries, could not withstand.

"Click—"

His wrist was broken, and the dagger cut through the barrier, slicing his throat.

At this moment, Li Wuji only regretted why he had sent Afu to investigate Xiang Feng's cause of death tonight instead of protecting him.

"Heh heh—" Li Wuji's eyes bulged out, blood foam came out of his mouth, and he died instantly.

"Ah!!!" The personal maid screamed as she watched her young master, who had just been intimate with her, be killed in one blow.

The next moment, his vision went white, and he fainted.

"Protect the young master!!!"

A flurry of footsteps sounded outside the door, and the guards, hearing the commotion, rushed over.

Zhou Chen glanced at the maidservant whose large expanse of white skin was exposed, then leaped onto the roof and disappeared in a flash.

By sparing the maid's life, they could also prove that the murderer was the skinny, monkey-faced man, further clearing themselves of suspicion.

Inside the house, the guards knocked on the door, but received no response. They then broke down the door and entered.

However, apart from Li Wuji's corpse and the maid who had fainted from fright, there was no one else at the scene.

From crashing into the roof to killing Li Wuji, only a moment had passed; the guards' reaction was remarkably swift.

However, Zhou Chen was a step ahead.

Outside Tai'anfang, Zhou Chen had changed his clothes and his face to that of an ordinary passerby as he sped along the street.

Suddenly, a clear chewing sound reached my ears.

In the shadows on the other side of the street corner, a four-legged monster lay on the ground, chewing incessantly.

Beneath the monster, a corpse dressed as a night watchman lay in terror, its clapper falling to the ground, motionless.

A strong, pungent smell of blood drifted on the wind, gradually fading away.

Zhou Chen sniffed the air, but didn't turn around to look. He walked straight towards the Crimson Flame Martial Arts Hall.

-----------------

After a while, the monster heard the footsteps of the patrolling constables not far away, raised its head covered in blood and flesh, and its eyes rolled around.

As the footsteps drew near, a flicker of struggle and hesitation crossed its eyes. It then abandoned the fresh flesh and blood that were so tempting to it, and with a swift movement of its four hooves, it vanished from sight.

"Quick! This way!"

At this moment, a group of yamen runners followed closely behind the barking, robust demonic dogs, moving at breakneck speed.

Since the previous magistrate was dismissed due to the cannibalistic monster incident, the temporary county constable has been extremely concerned about the matter.

Firstly, he was worried that if he messed things up, he might lose his official position.

Secondly, naturally, he wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to remove the word "temporary" from his current official title.

Because the temporary magistrate Chen Wu spent a lot of effort to purchase several tamed demon dogs from the county town, in order to discover the monster's whereabouts as soon as possible and achieve some real results.

After all, if you want your superiors to say you're capable, you need to show results.

In just a few breaths, the constables, following the tamed demon dog, found the watchman's body.

Looking at the corpse, which was still mostly flesh and blood, the lead constable cursed, "These cannibalistic beasts are actually quite clever; they didn't even bother with this!"
