"If she escapes, your children and descendants will be killed by this fox spirit."

Although his arm bone was not broken, it was cracked. This injury almost meant that he would never be able to use his right hand as flexibly as before. His hunting skills would be greatly reduced and he might even become disabled.

“That’s right!!!”

A hunter with a face full of flesh echoed,

"This vixen called out to this man, they know each other!! And suddenly a seductive woman appeared beside this man. I don't think this man is a decent person at all, so we can't stop."

"There's a den of foxes inside!" another hunter added excitedly.

"From the sounds, I know that if we kill this nest of foxes, each of us will get at least three or four taels of silver. How can we spit out the meat that's right in our mouths?"

Someone mustered up the courage and shouted coldly at Zhou Kao, "I advise you to stay away from that vixen, or we'll take care of you too!"

These hunters pressed forward step by step, united together, and were very aggressive, wishing to capture the Third Fox Sister immediately.

however--

The third fox sister was not afraid at all, and there was even a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"What a joke! The weekly exam is coming, what am I afraid of?"

Yes, she has nothing to be afraid of with him around!

Zhou Kao's youthful appearance was deceptive, but her third sister had a deep understanding of this hero's deeds!

At this moment, Zhou Kao stood between the flames and thick smoke, with a faint smile on his face.

He glanced at the group of hunters and spoke slowly:

"I'm not a monster. I'm a juren from Beiguo, Zhou Kao! Although the results of the Autumn Examination haven't been announced yet, I already hold the title of scholar, and am even personally appointed a guerrilla general by the imperial court!"

For these hunters in the mountains, Zhou Kao's name may not be familiar.

"Scholar", "Guerrilla General"?

These two words are like a huge rock thrown into the middle of a lake, causing ripples.

The hunters, who were originally aggressive, suddenly hesitated.

As expected, someone's eyes turned and he spoke tentatively:

"It's fine if you want us to leave... but you have to give us some compensation. Five taels of silver is too little, at least fifty taels per person!!!"

"That's right, at least fifty taels per person. You're a high-ranking official, so you should be wealthy. This amount of money shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Yes, fifty taels per person, not a cent less!"

Once greed is ignited, it will spread like wildfire.

A greedy thought arose, and everyone followed suit, asking for a huge amount of money, fifty taels of silver from each person as compensation for "giving up fox hunting."

Zhou Kao raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled even deeper:

"Oh? So you want to be bandits and robbers?"

"robbery?"

The hunter who made the offer laughed grimly, took out a short knife from his pocket, and approached step by step.

"Boy, you're right, we are just robbing."

He looked greedily at the brocade Zhou Kao was wearing and continued:

"I've been watching you for a long time. You're wearing fine silk. A foot of this cloth would be worth at least ten taels of silver in a cloth shop. You're so rich, and killing you today would be better than catching a hundred foxes. Besides, this is out in the wilderness. Even if I robbed and killed you, who would know?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hesitation in the eyes of the other hunters completely disappeared, and one by one they began to have evil thoughts.

"Tonight is God's gift for us to make a fortune!"

The man then shouted to his companions on both sides,

"Do you want to hunt for the rest of your life, or do you want to live a life of luxury from now on? Anyone who dares to make a move, join me in robbing this guy, no matter if he's a human or a demon! He's got a ton of money on him anyway, and I guarantee we'll all get rich!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became agitated, and the target instantly shifted from Third Fox Sister to Zhou Kao.

The old hunter saw this and his expression changed suddenly. He shouted:

"It is natural for us to hunt foxes. Even if some people accuse us of being cruel, we have a clear conscience. But now, instead of hunting foxes, you are murdering and robbing people. This is the act of robbers, and you will be punished!"

"Old man, he just shot your arm with a flying knife. Don't you hate him?" someone asked.

The old hunter said in a deep voice, "I'm only cruel to the prey in the mountains, the wild foxes and monsters. Now that he's injured my arm, it's karma. I don't blame him. Stop it now, killing is a capital crime!"

"Old man, you talk too much nonsense." The leading hunter snorted coldly, "Since you don't want to make this money, don't blame us for not giving you a share when the time comes."

After saying this, his eyes turned cold and he ordered fiercely:

"Go ahead, kill this scholar. As for that girl, I want to have a taste of her too! I don't care if she's a demon or not!!"

"Oh? You want money? And sex?"

Zhou Kao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, speaking in a contemptuous tone.

"Interesting. If you're not afraid of death, come and take it. The treasure is in my hands. If you have the ability, come and rob it."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and tossed it gently in his palm, as if provoking, but more like urging the arrival of death.

A similar scene, like déjà vu.

He, Zhou, never minds sending them to have tea with the King of Hell in advance.

"Wha~!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew through the air and headed straight for Zhou Kao's face!

His eyes focused, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the arrow in the air, and it fell steadily into his palm.

"I've said it before!!! If you let these vixens live, I'll give you a chance to live. You can still survive for a while. But not only did you not stop, you even dared to kill me!

You are no longer hunters, but a group of robbers and bandits.

My methods of dealing with bandits and robbers have always been ruthless."

Zhou Kao's eyes were as sharp as a knife and his tone was cold.

He raised his finger and pointed at the hunter who shot the arrow, saying coldly: "You will die from an arrow piercing your heart."

Before he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound breaking through the air, and a red light shot out from the void!

The hunter's body shook violently, and he screamed. His chest had been pierced by a flying knife, and his whole body was nailed to the ground. Blood gushed out, and his body fell limply, without any breath.

Chapter 205 The Principle of Weekly Examination

At this time, a clear air flew over from a distance.

At this time, Zhou Kao looked up and knew the situation.

"Oh?? Looks like the fight with that old fox fairy is over too??"

At this moment, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky, followed by heavy rain pouring down. The fire was extinguished instantly, and the thick smoke in the ruined temple also dissipated.

In the rolling clouds, a figure could be vaguely seen - it was Lu'e's father Hu Han. Although his cultivation had greatly decreased, he still had an extraordinary demeanor.

When the remaining hunters saw their companions being shot dead on the spot, they roared in anger and rushed towards Zhou Kao with knives and forks in their hands.

Since you have evil intentions and others know about it, you will have no choice but to go down this path to the end.

Stop now? No, there's no going back now!!

Zhou Kao shouted coldly, and waved his hands quickly like a magic trick, and flying knives flew out of the air!

It only takes a few breaths before and after.

“Knock! Knock! Knock!!”

The flying knives pierced through the bodies of these hunters one after another, nailing them to the ground one by one. Blood splattered everywhere and the scene was horrifying.

The hunters covered their necks, gurgling and spitting out mouthfuls of blood, their eyes full of fear and disbelief, and finally fell in a pool of blood.

Zhou Kao attacked without mercy, as if he was just slaughtering a few cattle and sheep, without even a flicker in his eyes.

He swept his sharp gaze over the remaining hunters.

He naturally carried out the Thunderous Judgment without hesitation for this bandit who was full of grievances and had long been marked as "dead" in the Book of Life and Death.

The other hunters were so frightened after seeing this scene that their hearts and livers were broken and their souls were scattered.

"Run!!"

Someone shouted, and the remaining people immediately scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

"Those who kneel down and surrender will not die, but those who flee will be killed immediately."

Zhou Kao grinned.

(I’m lying to you guys, it’s all the same!!!)

After these words were spoken, everyone still held on to hope and tried to escape.

"I told you to kneel down and surrender, and you'll die. How dare you run? My sword has been lonely for a long time."

Zhou Kao touched the little Tai Sui's head, clenched the sword in his hand, grinned, and walked out slowly.

The next moment, he swung his sword suddenly and cut off the head of a hunter who was trying to escape!

The knife flashed, blood splattered, and heads flew high into the air, making a dull thud when they landed on the ground.

With one slash of the sword, the bloody ground was left clean.

Some people just won’t listen to advice!!

You could have lingered on for a few more days, but you insisted on committing suicide?

He has never been a “good guy”!!!

At this moment, a wealthy middle-aged woman slowly walked out of the dilapidated temple, followed by a dozen foxes of different fur colors, with solemn expressions and steady steps.

"Mother." Seeing this, the third fox sister hurriedly saluted.

"Zhou Kao of Beiguo County, I am honored."

Zhou Kao also bowed and saluted, having already guessed in his heart that this person was Lu'e's mother.

The fox mother smiled slightly and bowed deeply to Zhou Kao:

"Mr. Zhou, you are so polite. Thanks to you for arriving just in time today and saving us wild foxes. I would like to thank you in advance."

"No need to thank me." Zhou Kao said calmly, "Lu'e is a disciple of mine, and you are a kind tribe that abides by the rules and protects the mountain people. Your salvation is your own good fortune."

Hearing Zhou Kao's words that didn't seem like something a junior could say, the fox mother didn't find it strange.

After all, the strange man in front of him is Zhou Kao!!!

She nodded with a smile and looked at Zhou Kao a few more times.

The fox mother smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhou Kao again. He was indeed a hero in the world!

Seeing him with a tall figure, handsome appearance, and a unique aura emanating from his body,

This aura is upright and mellow, upright and fierce, like the gathering of all the truths in the world, and like the condensation of a masculine and upright energy, which makes people convinced at first sight.

At this time, the old hunter was the only one left.

He bandaged his injured arm, stood up tremblingly, and bowed, saying:

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for sparing my life. I will take my leave now."

Zhou Kao waved his hand and said lightly:

"It's okay. They are full of evil thoughts, but you still have some conscience, so I will spare your life."

Looking at the slowly departing figure of the old hunter, Sister Fox sighed softly and said quietly:

"If they hadn't harbored any evil intentions towards Master Zhou, perhaps they could still survive, right?"

"Small causes add up to great results, small kindnesses add up to great rewards. Do not commit any evil, no matter how small it is, and do not refrain from any good, no matter how small it is—this is a truth the ancients understood long ago."

Zhou Kao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled meaningfully.

"Besides, who says that if I don't kill them today, they will survive the next day?"

"Okay, well said."

A clear laugh was heard in the air, and then a white cloud fell, revealing Hu Han's figure.

He clapped his hands in praise, his face full of admiration:
