Gao Wu: Starting with playing the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e

Snapped!

A loud slap landed on He Qiu's face, knocking her to the ground, her cheek quickly swelling up.

"Still dare to call for help? Or am I being too gentle?"

He Lian's gaze went blank as she stared at the two burly men in front of her, each as tall as a door panel.

"If you behave yourself, you'll feel more relaxed, and so will I. If you don't behave, don't blame me for being impolite."

As the burly man spoke, he deftly twisted the necks of the remaining old men in the room and casually stuffed them into the cloth bag beside him.

"Dad~"

He Lian was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be some tears in her eyes, but they did not come out and remained in her eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, something in her eyes grew larger and larger, suddenly hitting her forehead. Before the tears that were about to well up could even spill, she felt a dizzying sensation and then lost consciousness.

Li Sheng withdrew his foot, picked up the unconscious He Lian, and frowned as he looked at his companion:

"Old Chen, you're getting more and more useless. You can't even handle a little girl in half a day."

I think you want to get up close and personal with the young master's 'pet'.

Seeing this, Chen Kui could only scratch his head and chuckle awkwardly, forcing himself to say, "Don't be so serious, Brother Li."

"We've already informed them, no one will come."

"Greetings are greetings, and business is business."

As Li Sheng spoke, he put the last corpse in the room into the bag. The not-so-large sack was bulging. The burly man carried the sack in one hand and He Lian in the other, but he showed no signs of fatigue.

Seeing the slight bloodstains seeping from the bag, he covered his mouth and nose, disgustedly tossed it to Chen Kui, and ordered:

"If you go throw it now, or it gets any later, the fishermen on the Qingjiang River will probably be setting sail."

At that moment, Tang Luo rushed over.

Ke Zhen'e was extremely tall, and even though his back was slightly hunched, he was no less imposing than the two burly men. He stared at everything in front of him, slightly stunned.

The courtyard wasn't big to begin with, and the main hall was even smaller, just a tiny space where you could see everything clearly.

The tables and chairs were scattered and overturned, with faint signs of being dragged. The presence of two burly men inside made the room seem even more cramped.

Two burly men were each carrying something. The one on the left was holding a huge burlap sack in the center of the hall. The sack wasn't properly secured, and moonlight shone through, revealing several heads slumped helplessly inside.

Tang Luo heard no breathing sounds from inside the sack.

Another girl, who was also carrying something, looked somewhat familiar. Her cheeks were swollen, but she was still breathing.

This was the first time in his two lifetimes that Tang Luo had seen the corpse of his own kind. Before this, no matter how chivalrous he was, he had never killed anyone or seen a dead person.

There was no nausea or vomiting, just a bit of fear.

Death, is it really such a tangible thing? Is it really so close to me?

"This family has broken the law, and my brother and I are here to arrest them."

Li Sheng looked at the old man with a full head of white hair and an iron staff in front of him and explained respectfully and kindly.

He hadn't noticed when the old man had arrived, partly because he hadn't paid attention, but it still meant that the old man possessed exceptional lightness skills.

His immediate priority was to help the young master get the woman there, not to waste time here with unnecessary people.

Once he completes his mission, he'll have plenty of time to deal with the other party.

Tang Luo didn't speak. He had a brain. Would a normal government official choose to act at this moment?

Could it be so cruel?

It seems the other side wants to treat me like an idiot, or perhaps they want to downplay the issue?

Unfortunately, he was unwilling.

It's hard to say why, but Tang Luo did feel an intense anger in his heart, even though he had been in this world for some time.

But he still didn't seem to adapt to the rules here, to the naked survival of the fittest hidden beneath the feudal society!

But that's okay, he'll take care of his own frustrations.

Tang Luo stared intently at his opponent, his powerful hearing allowing him to clearly hear his opponent's heartbeat.

On the surface, cultivators are not much different from ordinary people. At most, cultivators are more burly and robust, but it is basically impossible to tell their strength from their appearance.

But for Tang Luo, there is an alternative way of distinguishing them.

Cultivators may look like ordinary people, but their inner selves are completely different.

Just like a heartbeat, an ordinary person's heart beats between sixty and one hundred times per minute, while a cultivator's heartbeat will be lower than that. The stronger a person is, the slower their heartbeat.

Furthermore, although [Ke Zhen'e] is like a kind of armor attached to his body, in fact, that 'armor' itself is also his body, and he can also feel a 'heartbeat'.

With the help of Ke Zhen'e's body, Tang Luo also basically figured out the relationship between strength and heartbeat.

For example, the two in front of us, the one on the left, the burly man carrying the corpse bag, has a heartbeat of about thirty beats per minute, and his strength is roughly at the first level of body tempering, skin refining.

On the right, the burly man carrying the little girl had a heart rate of about 25 beats per minute. He was at the fourth level of Body Tempering and Refining.

While heart rate and strength are positively correlated, they are not directly proportional. For example, the person on the right may appear to have only five fewer heartbeats than the person on the left, but their strength is at least half again as great as the person on the left!

Tang Luo's thoughts raced, but in reality, only a moment passed. After hearing what the person on his right said, he suppressed his anger and calmly asked, "Do you have any arrest warrants?"

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng was about to find an excuse to brush it off when, as he was pondering, several black lights suddenly flashed in front of him!

There are hidden weapons!

He mustered his strength, and the energy within his acupoints instantly filled his entire body, only to find that none of the hidden weapons were aimed at him.

As he turned and glanced around, he saw Chen Kui, who had been stubborn just moments before, now having two diamond-shaped darts pierce his eyes, a stream of bluish-black liquid suddenly bursting from them.

Then, it fell straight down.

"Your Excellency, do you really intend to make an enemy of the Prince Duan's Mansion?" Li Sheng stared intently at Tang Luo, his sword already drawn from its sheath.

Tang Luo ignored what the other person was saying. He had already recognized the two people in front of him. They had met when the original owner of this body was still working as a handyman.

However, the person opposite him was a high-ranking personal eunuch, while Tang Luo at that time was just a lowly servant.

"What a pity~" Tang Luo looked at his opponent, sighed slightly, and then picked up his iron staff.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use the poison darts to defeat his opponent, but his opponent was at least at the Refining Realm, or even at the fifth level of Bone Refining and Body Tempering. Although it was only a minor realm, the difference between each realm was still considerable.

A sneak attack might work on Chen Kui, but it's unlikely to work on Li Sheng. In fact, Li Sheng might even spot it the instant Chen Kui aims at him.

Immediately, Tang Luo leaned forward and unleashed the Demon-Subduing Staff Technique, Seventh Form: Floating Pagoda Demon Subduing!

The so-called "Buddha Subduing Demons" is like a variation of the sword technique of splitting Mount Hua, both of which involve moving from top to bottom, using the force of gravity to unleash the power of the whole body.

However, unlike splitting Mount Hua with force, in the Subduing Demons with the Floating Pagoda, the body's blood and qi are condensed into one, like a seven-story pagoda overturned, suppressing the demons with a weight as heavy as a thousand pounds.

As the sword and staff clashed, Li Sheng was forced back almost instantly!

"What immense strength!" Li Sheng felt that mountain-like power almost instantly upon impact.

Even though he had used every method to deflect the force, he still managed to retreat several steps!

A tingling sensation ran through his wrist, making him feel weak, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a huge iron staff coming at him again!

"How is that possible?!"

Li Sheng was startled, but he had no choice but to forcefully gather the strength of his acupoints to resist.

But the more he resisted, the more alarmed he became.

This is because Tang Luo's attacks were like a tide, continuous and unending. Normally, unless one is practicing a special technique like the "Layered Wave Blade," one would need to breathe and it would be impossible for the attacks to be so continuous.

Even with the "Layered Wave Blade," it's not that you don't breathe; rather, you integrate the rhythm of breathing into the sword technique to achieve the effect of "appearing as if you're not breathing."

But his opponent seemed to be completely still, as if he hadn't even taken a breath!

And that is indeed the case!
