From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"What an arrogant thief!"

To kill someone in the middle of the city, and to kill the Deputy Transport Commissioner no less, is utterly outrageous!

The Chief Justice personally led a large force to arrest him, chasing him from the city to the outskirts, finally cornering him in a desolate mountain.

"Surround them! Don't let the thieves get away!"

The constables of the Provincial Judicial Commissioner, along with the city's garrison, brought a force of over a thousand men. With a single command, they surrounded the entire desolate mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Daliang, the chief judicial officer, sent men into the city to transfer another two thousand men from various government offices.

"Even if he were a bird, I guarantee he wouldn't be able to fly away!"

Looking up at the barren mountain, Wei Daliang smirked coldly.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to search the mountains.

It's called a mountain, but it's actually just a ridge, covering only about a hundred acres.

Two thousand people surrounded the area, while another thousand went in to search. In such a small place with so many people, even a rat couldn't hide.

To leave no gaps, the thousand searchers formed a circle and slowly searched from the foot of the mountain uphill, gradually narrowing the encirclement.

Although there was no rush to proceed, the search was already more than halfway complete after half an hour.

Chen Shi has not yet been found; he is likely hiding at the highest point in the middle of the desolate mountain range.

But they were already trapped, with nowhere to escape; it was just a matter of delaying things a little longer.

"What is it?"

"Birds."

"Such a big bird?"

As they continued their search, a dark shadow suddenly swept overhead. The two foot soldiers next to each other exchanged a puzzled look.

But when he looked up again, he couldn't see anything at all. He frowned, decided not to think too much about it, and continued to follow the main group to search forward.

"Let's see how long he can keep hiding."

At the foot of the mountain, receiving reports from his subordinates at any time, Wei Daliang smirked smugly.

They were about to reach the center of the mountaintop, and in his view, Chen Shi had nowhere to hide. He estimated that news of his capture would arrive soon.

Thinking of this, Wei Daliang gave another disdainful snort.

The further along the search continues, the more people will search, and the tighter the encirclement will become.

Instead, it would have been better to fight to the death and break through at the beginning; perhaps then there would have been some chance. Now, with thousands of people almost all gathered in one place, trying to break through is simply a pipe dream.

In Wei Daliang's view, although the thief was arrogant, he was brave but reckless and deserved to be captured by him.

"Who goes there!"

Just as he was feeling smug, the soldier guarding the front suddenly shouted.

Wei Daliang looked up and saw a figure coming down from the mountain, heading straight this way.

Despite the soldier's reprimands, the man did not stop; instead, he ran even faster.

"stop!"

Seeing that the man was about to rush forward, the soldiers in front shouted and raised their spears.

Click!

But the next moment, as the man approached, he swung his short knife and severed the soldier's neck along with the spear.

"It's that thief!"

"The thief ran down!"

"Grab him!"

Only then did the soldiers down the mountain come to their senses and gather from both sides, shouting as they came.

Unfortunately, they were already quite far away and too slow, and Chen Shi had already rushed in before they arrived.

Heading straight for Wei Daliang!

"This is!"

Wei Daliang's eyes widened, and the smug look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by shock.

The thieves should have been surrounded in the mountains, how did they escape!

If they broke through the encirclement, why didn't the soldiers report back?

Although he was both angry and suspicious, he couldn't think about it for the moment because Chen Shi was already heading straight for him.

Blood and energy instantly solidified!

Unlike Yang Wencheng, Wei Daliang was a seventh-rank military officer.

Looking at Chen Shi rushing forward, and then at the soldiers running towards them from not far away, Wei Daliang sneered triumphantly.

They treated him like an easy target; they were simply courting death!

Even if he is no match for Chen Shi, he can still exchange a few blows. As long as he can hold him off for a moment, he can take him down once the soldiers swarm him!

"Boy! Prepare to die!"

Feeling emboldened, Wei Daliang roared and threw a punch at Chen Shi who was charging at him.

He killed Yang Wencheng in the street; he wanted to see just how capable this villain was.

Chen Shi had already arrived, a slight smile on his face.

For a moment, Wei Daliang was taken aback; it was a contemptuous sneer.

Immediately afterward, excruciating pain from broken bones and severed tendons surged through his arm, but before Wei Daliang could even scream, his consciousness suddenly blurred. From his perspective as he flew, he saw his own mangled arm.

"idiot."

Chen Shi caught Wei Daliang's head, gave a soft snort, and without pausing, ran off into the distance.

The soldiers didn't even have time to surround him before they arrived at Wei Daliang's headless corpse on the ground.

"Quick, after them!"

When they came to their senses, they shouted and tried to give chase, but Chen Shi was nowhere to be seen.

He had the heads of Yang Wencheng and Wei Daliang clipped to his waist. Wei Daliang was also one of the special missions issued by the Elder of the Capital Region!

Chen used his movement technique to quickly disappear into the wilderness.

He ran for most of the hour before stopping. Even if the ordinary soldiers knew he was there, let alone find him, it would take them at least a day to catch up.

Chen Shi let out a soft sigh and stopped to rest.

Find a place to sit down, calm your mind, and begin your cultivation to refine your essence and blood.

Anyway, nothing's wrong.

Chen Shi didn't get up again until night fell.

He returned directly to Shengping City. Even if the city gates were open, let alone already closed, he couldn't simply enter through them. He used his Aerial Crossing technique to scale the city walls and enter the city.

It was already late at night when I arrived once again at the Fufeng Society's stronghold where I had previously accepted the mission.

Clang!

The bundle was thrown onto the table, the loosely tied opening revealing the heads of Yang Wencheng and Wei Daliang.

"You really did this! Wait, this is..."

Upon seeing Yang Wencheng's head, the one-eyed man showed approval, but upon seeing Wei Daliang's head, he was filled with astonishment.

Like the assassination of Yang Wencheng, the mission to assassinate Wei Daliang has also failed multiple times. Moreover, assassinating Wei Daliang is even more difficult than assassinating Yang Wencheng.

After all, as a military general, Wei Daliang not only had a large number of soldiers under his command, but he was also a seventh-rank military officer.

"As I said, there are differences even between fourth-class and fourth-class."

Chen Shi spoke calmly, his gaze remaining unwavering.

"I misjudged you, brother, you really are a master."

The one-eyed man gave Chen Shi a thumbs-up, put away the two heads, and then said.

"We'll record the amount you've accumulated here. Also, please come back here in two days."

Why did I come?

"Of course there's something going on."

"No time."

"I'll give you an extra ten points to accumulate."

"Okay then."

Chen Shi nodded reluctantly, then turned and left.

Watching Chen Shi walk out the door, the one-eyed man pondered to himself. Not only had he completed the specific task, but with such strength, the elder should be satisfied.

Should we go see that elder...?

As Chen Shi walked down the street, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Telling him to come back in two days is probably to arrange for him to meet that elder from the capital!
