I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

Zhao Chuan's face was full of smugness.

He smeared aconite on the knife.

Even a martial artist at the Kaiyuan Realm wouldn't be able to withstand it!

Shen Shuangning noticed something was wrong with her body and immediately realized that she had been poisoned. Without hesitation, she took out a signal flare and released it.

Zhao Chuan's expression darkened.

Damn it, since we can't escape anyway, let's torture one of them to death first.

As the poison spread, Shen Shuangning's movements became increasingly sluggish. She gradually lost her ability to keep up with Zhao Chuan's speed and could only barely parry.

As time went by, she gradually developed more and more knife wounds.

Shen Shuangning persevered through sheer willpower and never collapsed.

But the more knives she was stabbed, the more poison from the aconite seeped into her body.

Finally, Shen Shuangning's legs went weak, and she subconsciously used her weapon to support herself on the ground, barely managing to avoid kneeling down.

Zhao Chuan, carrying a knife, walked towards her step by step.

At this moment, Xu Yan rushed over.

He was not far from where the signal came from, and rushed over as soon as he saw it.

Without hesitation, Xu Yan immediately activated the Unity of Heaven and Man and charged forward.

He was too fast, and Zhao Chuan couldn't react in time, so he could only hastily raise his knife to block.

A punch landed on the blade, and the hunting knife snapped in two.

Without the slightest pause, the punch landed squarely on Zhao Chuan's chest, sending him flying.

The knife broke, and the poison lost its effect. Zhao Chuan spat out a mouthful of blood and turned to flee.

Xu Yan naturally wouldn't give him a chance, pressing his advantage and kicking Zhao Chuan squarely in the back.

Zhao Chuan fell to the ground, his mouth full of mud, but ignoring the pain, he quickly rolled over and knelt down, begging for mercy repeatedly: "My lord, spare my life! Please, my lord, spare my life!"

"I am willing to serve you like a slave, with absolutely no disloyalty!"

Xu Yan took a step closer, coldly looking at Zhao Chuan, his gaze falling on Zhao Chuan's hand as he reached for his waist.

Trying to play dumb with me?

After experiencing Jiang Chengying's instance, he understood that when a villain begs for mercy, it's not a genuine plea.

Instead, they intend to take your life when you least expect it.

Sure enough, once he realized he was close enough, Zhao Chuan suddenly drew a poisoned dagger and stabbed it fiercely at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan easily dodged to the side, and then used the momentum to punch Zhao Chuan in the temple.

Zhao Chuan's eyes became bloodshot, and his vision instantly turned red.

Xu Yan didn't stop, and landed two more punches.

Only when Zhao Chuan's health bar on the panel was completely depleted did he slowly withdraw his fist and exhale a breath of stale air.

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating the villain "Zhao Chuan"!

[Experience points +500]

[Attachment: Kill Reward *1]

【Purple Cloud Fruit *1】

[After taking it, your base strength will increase by 5 points]

Another treasure that increases basic attributes?

Xu Yan accepted the reward and swallowed it; it melted in his mouth. Then he glanced at the panel.

【Root bone: 15】

[Physical Fitness: 15]

【Perception: 10】

[Willpower: 10]

Overall experience gain efficiency: 163%

A direct increase of 50%?

It seems that bone structure accounts for a larger proportion.

Sure enough, the approach of profiting from both sides was correct.

Although Zhao Chuan is dead and his merits have been reduced by 20%, he still has more than 2,000 merits. Even if Shen Shuangning gives him 30%, he will still have more than 1,000 merits left.

Xu Yan bent down, picked up Zhao Chuan's head, and put it away. Then the other constables arrived one after another following the signal.

As night fell, on their return journey, another constable inadvertently triggered a trap.

Xu Yan had no choice but to lead everyone to rest for the night at the City God Temple.

We'll wait until dawn tomorrow to clear away all the traps along the way before heading down the mountain.

On the return journey the following day, Shen Shuangning remained somewhat absent-minded.

When she woke up last night, her wounds had already been bandaged. The constables said that Xu Yan had taken care of them for her.

He even said that he took down Zhao Chuan single-handedly after arriving at the scene.

But Shen Shuangning remembered everything clearly before she fell into a coma.

At that time, Zhao Chuan still had the energy to spare.

If Xu Yan were only at the Cave Pulse Realm, he would have no chance against him.

Unless he is also an mortal!

Shen Shuangning finally couldn't hold back and asked, "What realm are you in?"

Xu Yan gazed at the fields on both sides without turning around: "Don't pry into the affairs of adults."

"You!" Shen Shuangning gritted her teeth, turned her face away, and refused to look at him again.

What's there to be proud of?

So young and already so extraordinary, isn't it all because of his good family background?

If I had that kind of background, I might already be at the Kaiyuan Realm by now.

Upon returning to Qinglian County, Xu Yan received the reward of two hundred taels of silver with the head in hand.

Regarding achievements, the government office will assign someone to record them, but it will take some time before they can be sent to the provincial administration for unified registration.

Xu Yan gave half of the silver to Shen Shuangning.

"Thank you, sir." Shen Shuangning did not refuse.

Xu Yan withdrew his gaze, turned and walked towards the room where the yamen files were stored, preparing to accept the next reward.

The cheat code only lets him know who has side quests, but it doesn't come with a walkthrough, so he can only wander around like a headless fly.

In order to gather all five internal skills as soon as possible, Xu Yan decided to ignore the side quests involving Shen Shuangning for the time being.

After Xu Yan selected his target, he walked out of the room and found Shen Shuangning waiting outside.

After bowing, she went into the dossier room, clearly there to choose a reward.

He hasn't even fully recovered from his injuries, why is he pushing himself so hard?

Xu Yan didn't pay much attention and turned to leave.

He paused as he reached the entrance of the government office.

These days, Xu Yan needs a travel permit to enter the city, and Qin Feng followed him all the way by following these clues.

At this moment, Qin Feng looked at Xu Yan's face with slight doubt, and then gestured to his subordinates beside him.

The subordinate understood and walked up to Xu Yan. His gaze swept over Xu Yan's neck, and when he saw the knot on the jade pendant, he reached out and pulled it off.

Xu Yan reached out and grabbed his wrist, but the other party easily shook her off.

"Young Master!"

Qin Feng took the jade pendant, confirmed its design, and didn't pay much attention to the fine lines on it.

He wasn't present when the commendation was being held, so he didn't know that the top-ranking officer Xu Yan was the same person as the man in front of him.

He just thought of him as a small fry who had been lucky enough to escape from Sin City.

I also know that my cousin really likes this jade pendant.

Qin Feng took out a silver note from his pocket. "This silver note can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver at any money exchange within the Xuan Kingdom."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Xu Yan to reach out and take it. He casually threw the silver note on the ground, then turned and left with the jade pendant and his men.

Xu Yan stood there, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Forcing people to buy or sell is one thing, but then they have to give them this kind of look.

They are high and mighty, as if everyone else is just grass and not worth a second glance.

Xu Yan had already recognized Qin Feng when he was at the Superintendent of Police, so he did not want to have too much contact with him.

Not far away, Shen Shuangning had just finished choosing her bounty and came out when she happened to witness this scene.

Seeing that Xu Yan left without picking up the silver notes, she quickly stepped forward.

"grown ups..."

"Your banknotes..."

Xu Yan did not reply and left the yamen directly.

Although he didn't understand why Qin Feng was eyeing that jade pendant, he was determined to get his revenge sooner or later.

After Xu Yan left, Shen Shuangning stood there, looking at the silver notes in her hand, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

As a member of the Police Department, she naturally recognized Qin Feng.

At a young age, he had already reached the Kaiyuan Realm and was a Ding-level Inspector, arresting only serious criminals, making him incredibly prestigious.

Logically speaking, as scions of prominent families, they should not have acted in this way.
