Ming Dynasty: I am truly not the Emperor of Longevity

Ma San Kui probably never imagined that he would be so powerful!

From the very beginning of the fire, Lu Chen hid behind Ma San Kui, keeping a distance of two to three meters from him.

Although my telekinetic abilities can only be fully utilized within a distance of one meter, one meter is simply too close.

If it were a direct, unrestrained fight, that would be fine, but if they had to pretend to be ordinary people without any fighting ability, accidents could easily happen.

A distance of two or three meters is just right, allowing enough time to react and deal with any unexpected situations, while also being able to influence the course of the battle with telekinesis.

I don't need to directly kill the target with my telekinesis; I'm just creating some interference for them.

Although the power of telekinesis is greatly reduced at a distance of two or three meters, it is still possible to create some pain on the human body.

This was enough to make the opponent make a mistake and reveal a weakness in front of Ma San Kui.

The gambling den owner and his henchmen numbered eleven, while Ma San Kui was all alone and at a significant disadvantage.

Although he hoped that Ma San Kui would die in the fire, thereby severing the cause and effect of his new identity "Lin Chao Xi".

However, if Ma San Kui is captured by the other party or dies too early, it will not be a good thing for him either.

In the eyes of the gambling den owner, he and Ma San Kui were accomplices, and if Ma San Kui was dealt with, he certainly wouldn't let him off the hook.

When that time comes, I'll have no choice but to take action myself.

Even if you use your psychic powers to impersonate martial arts, it's not a good thing.

After the fire, the patrol officers of Wadian Town will definitely come to investigate.

If he doesn't personally kill anyone, he'll just be seen as a lucky gambler who won money but was then falsely accused of cheating by the gambling den, a case of double-crossing.

The gambling den not only gathered a crowd to attack him and his companion, but also killed his companion.

Having not lifted a finger, one is naturally the aggrieved party.

As for the gambling den owner and his henchmen being killed by Ma San Kui, that was, of course, an act of self-defense.

Even if this act of self-defense was excessive and suspected of being a mutual fight, the person involved, Ma San Kui, is already dead anyway, so the case can only be closed.

"Lu Chen" is, after all, the son of the chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the local inspector will not refuse to give him any face and insist on dragging him into this case.

However, if he personally killed someone, the inspector would not be able to openly let him go.

There were quite a few eyewitnesses in the gambling den.

Although I have ways to solve it, it's still a troublesome matter.

Lu Chen also partially approved of Ma San Kui's plan.

That is to leave clues along the way for the identity of "Lu Chen", leave Xiangyang Prefecture along the original route to the capital, and then disappear after arriving in Nanyang Prefecture.

Anyway, Lu Chen's travel permit will be unusable by July or August at the latest.

His father, a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, might actually send people to search and investigate along the way if Lu Chen didn't arrive in the capital soon.

It would be a good thing for us to let them focus their investigation on Nanyang Prefecture.

The real "Lu Chen" was killed in that shady shop long ago. I've been using his identity to operate in this world for almost a month, and it's time to make him disappear completely.

From then on, he was "Lin Chaoxi".

The identity of "Lin Chaoxi" has a completely clean background, and there is no time limit on it.

Lu Chen did not doubt the level of confidentiality Ma Sankui had told him when processing the household registration and travel permit.

To keep his secret of being a "gambling master" to himself, Ma San Kui would never reveal the origin of his identity to anyone.

This is human nature, and it's more reliable than any guarantee from the other party!

After leaving Wadian Town, I only need to change my route and quietly return to Xiangyang Prefecture.

With Lin Chaoxi's household registration and travel permit, one could settle down in a county town in Xiangyang Prefecture by spending a little money.

Actually, once I arrived in Wadian Town, I could have taken direct action and made Ma Sankui die silently.

While this method is convenient, it's not a good idea.

According to Ma San Kui, he was not a lone wolf, but the head of the Chang Le Society, a large gang with influence spanning several prefectures, in Gucheng County.

It's very likely that Ma San Kui and his whereabouts were known to some of his trusted subordinates.

If he were to die in Wadian Town under mysterious circumstances, he, who was traveling with him, would become a prime suspect.

I have made my presence known in Gucheng County, and quite a few people have seen me there.

For a local gang like the Chang Le Society, as long as he was in Xiangyang Prefecture, even if he had become "Lin Chaoxi", he was still very likely to be found.

This is not the situation Lu Chen wanted to see.

But if Ma Sankui had died in a fierce battle with the local gangsters in Wadian Town, and died a spectacular death with many witnesses, then it would have been a completely different story.

Chang Le Hui will never focus its attention on itself.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. If the Chang Le Society wants to get revenge for Ma San Kui, then let them go ahead and do so.

I never expected Ma San Kui to have some real kung fu skills!

They should also have a lot of practical experience in participating in group fights.

When surrounded by multiple thugs from the gambling den, he responded with great composure and his movements were not chaotic.

Even without me secretly using my telekinesis to interfere with his opponent, he could probably still kill three or five of his henchmen.

Looks like I need to take it easy a bit.

If he exerts too much force, Ma San Kui might actually be able to kill all his opponents.

. . .

After killing several gambling den thugs in succession, Ma San Kui's confidence soared.

My doubts grew stronger and stronger!

In a life-or-death battle, both sides move extremely fast.

Those watching might not notice anything amiss, but Ma San Kui, who was at the heart of the battlefield, couldn't possibly be unaware of the anomaly!

The thugs who died at his hands, though not as skilled as him, were not to be trifled with.

Under normal circumstances, even if I could win the battle, it would never be so easy; I would inevitably suffer some injuries.

However, during their fight, all of these thugs inexplicably encountered problems.

Someone suddenly slipped, revealing a huge opening.

Some people even had their blades, aimed at themselves, inexplicably veer to the side at the last moment.

It was as if something in the dark was secretly helping me!

Originally, I thought that Lu Chen was just itching to play and couldn't resist. Young people can't control themselves and once they start winning, they can't stop.

Lu Chen could tell the numbers on the dice, so he really had that ability, and he didn't think about it in any other direction.

But after I took over, I was able to bet on points, and even on triples, every time I bet, the situation was completely different!

No matter how good that kid's hearing is, it's impossible for him to get the dealer to roll out the number he bet on without touching the dice cup!

Although he initially thought the matter was strange, he only felt that the place was very eerie and did not think about it further.

But what happened in the battle just now, even if I don't want to think about it, I can't help it!

There must be something unclean in this place!

Moreover, this thing was already here when Lu Chen and I stepped into this gambling den!

Not only that, but it was also deliberately targeting this gambling den!

Perhaps it's a victim who was killed by this gambling den, whose vengeful spirit is restless and has turned into a vengeful ghost, looking for an opportunity to take revenge here!

I only met Lu Chen by chance today.

If that's really the case...

Ma San Kui looked up at the gambling den owner not far away, whose face showed a hint of fear after losing several of his men.

His eyes were like those of someone looking at a lamb to the slaughter!

Today, I, Master Ma, am protected by gods and spirits!

This Wadian Town is where I, Master Ma, made my name and made a name for myself!
