Chapter 95 Kill!

After taking a breath and looking at the numbers on the code, Li Nuo's face showed an expression of extreme pain.

"Name: Li Nuo."

"Lifespan: one day."

More than two hundred days of life were exchanged for an instant of double the fourth realm strength.

He took advantage of the assassin's unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack, killing him with one blow.

The code has only one day left to live.

On this day, perhaps the code automatically triggered some kind of protection.

Otherwise, he would have died suddenly before he could kill the killer.

The situation at that time did not allow him to think too much.

Facing a warrior of the fourth realm, if he hesitated for even a second longer, he would lose his head.

Only by capturing a martial arts master of the fourth realm was a hundred days added to his lifespan.

If he changed his cultivation level, more than two hundred days would be deducted from his time.

He usually lived frugally, not even willing to waste a day of his life. He refused Mu'er's requests for makeup countless times, and it was with great difficulty that he managed to increase his lifespan to more than 200 days...

Now that’s great. After working hard for more than a month, we are back to the time before liberation.

But he had no choice.

Either change or die.

He also had to be thankful that the Chu guard was at the fourth level of the dual skills.

Both meridians have been cultivated to the fourth level, and the true Qi in the body is twice that of an ordinary fourth level.

If it was just an ordinary fourth realm, he might not be able to kill with one strike.

This is probably the reason why so much of his life was deducted.

In some mysterious way, everything seems to be destined.

Li Nuo looked at the man in black on the ground with frustration, gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you doing this?"

It is not easy to cultivate to the fourth level. I don’t know how much suffering and fatigue I have to endure in the process. It is not worth it at all to die in such a miserable way.

But the man in black, whose pupils were gradually dilating, could no longer hear his words.

Li Nuo wanted to stand up by holding on to the wall, but he was struck by dizziness.

Just now he felt that he was terribly strong, and thought that even if his wife came, he could fight her for three hundred rounds.

But after that power disappeared, he felt an unprecedented emptiness in his body.

It seemed as if even the deepest strength in the body had been completely drained.

He finally couldn't hold on any longer, the world was spinning in front of his eyes, and he completely lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of light footsteps was heard again in the alley.

A slender figure walked in slowly. He first glanced at the man in black who was dying with his eyes wide open in the corner, and curled his lips in disdain. "What a scoundrel! You can't even handle such a small matter, and you dare to call yourself one of the top ten killers? In the end, I still have to do it myself..."

Then, he looked at the fainted young man again, a trace of pity appeared on his face, and he murmured, "You are so handsome, I can't bear to kill you..."

Although he said this, he had already slowly drawn out the long sword at his waist.

Seeing this, the woman sitting on the wall jumped down from the wall and said indifferently: "Stupid sissy, why don't you try to move him?"

The slender figure paused, and the sword in his hand made a buzzing sound.

Anyone who dared to call him that is already dead.

He glanced at the woman who was also wearing a veil, and felt the undisguised fluctuations of her true energy. The buzzing sound of the sword in his hand gradually subsided.

He glanced at Li Nuo lying on the ground, a look of regret appeared on his face, he jumped onto the wall, and disappeared in an instant.

The woman did not chase him. She looked down at the unconscious Li Nuo, then looked at the dead assassin in black, and whispered, "Song Jiaren, there's something wrong with your husband..."

She wanted to turn around and leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped.

Finally, she sighed helplessly, turned back, picked up Li Nuo, and slowly walked outside.

…

Song Mansion.

An old man with a white beard removed his fingers from Li Nuo's wrist, looked at Butler Wu, and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure that your young master has not practiced martial arts?"

Butler Wu said angrily, "You are a quack doctor. Do you know how to treat illnesses? I watched my young master grow up. How could I not know whether he practiced martial arts or not?"

The old man scratched his head and said in surprise: "That's strange. His body is overdrawn, which seems to be the result of excessive consumption of true energy. But it's not a big deal. Next, pay attention to rest and eat more supplements. He will recover in ten days or half a month..."

At this moment, the young man lying on the bed moved his eyelids slightly.

When Li Nuo woke up, he saw a room full of people.

My wife, Mu'er, Ning'er, Song Yu and Butler Wu all gathered around his bed.

Seeing him wake up, the worry on Song Jiaren's face faded a little.

Song Muer still had tears on her face, and she happily held his hand, "Brother Li Nuo, you're awake!"

Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then said in fear: "Brother-in-law, you really scared me to death!"

Butler Wu asked with a worried look on his face: "Master, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing them, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Saved.

Li Nuo did not answer Butler Wu's question. He sat up with difficulty and asked, "Where are the assassins?"

Butler Wu said: "Among the eight assassins, one died and the other seven escaped. They are all top assassins. If they want to escape, we can't stop them..."

He was still a little scared at this moment, and thankfully said: "Who would have thought that there were actually eight of the Seven Devils of Tianshan? Fortunately, that female knight passed by and saved the young master when she saw the injustice. Otherwise, the young master would be in great danger today, and I would not be able to face the master and the young mistress..."

Li Nuo had no idea what a female hero was.

It seemed that something happened after he fainted.

But none of this matters anymore.

He originally thought that he could catch at least one or two of the eight assassins.

That way, after they pronounce the verdict, the life span he lost can be added back.

Unexpectedly, of the eight assassins, only one was left, and he died at his hands.

Legalists are extremely particular about procedures when handling cases.

After the case was filed and the verdict was announced, even if he committed suicide, it would not affect the increase in his life span.

But if someone was killed without filing a case or making a verdict, will the law recognize this?

Li Nuo looked forward, and the "Code" was quietly suspended in front of his eyes.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

But the two lines of words on the cover made him completely disappointed.

"Name: Li Nuo."

"Lifespan: one day."

When he saw the numbers on the last line, his heart sank completely.

Sure enough, it was not added.

A killer at the fourth level could add a hundred days to his lifespan.

It was all wasted like this, and Li Nuo felt extremely distressed.

But he doesn't even have time to feel sad now.

This morning, his life span will be refreshed again.

During this period, if he cannot extend his life...

Midnight is the time of his death.

Li Nuo turned his head and looked outside. It was already dark. His heart sank and he asked Butler Wu, "What time is it now?"

Butler Wu said, "It's just past the hour of You."

The You hour is from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., which means that it is now after 7:00, and there are less than five hours left until midnight.

He doesn't have much time left.

It may be useful to complete the necessary procedures now.

Li Nuo instantly felt his body regain some strength and struggled to get off the bed. Seeing this, Butler Wu hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Master, where are you going? You are very weak now, you should lie down and have a good rest..."

Being physically weak is nothing, his life is almost gone.

He said decisively: "Prepare the car and go out!"

In front of the Song Mansion.

Butler Wu helped Li Nuo onto the carriage and asked helplessly, "Master, where are you going?"

Li Nuo said: "County government office!"

The killer is already dead, and his life span has not increased. It's obvious that it's a problem with the program.

I just don't know if it would be useful if I could issue a new judgment?

Although he had just been banned by the court from judging cases, he couldn't care less at this critical moment of life and death.

When the carriage was about to start, Song Jiaren got on the carriage and didn't say anything. She just sat silently opposite Li Nuo.

There were eight assassins who assassinated Li Nuo this time.

Eight killers, only one left.

The man was hit by a powerful internal energy, which shattered his internal organs and he died in an alley.

According to Butler Wu, he was saved by a female warrior who passed by.

Li Nuo didn't know anything about the female hero. The killer died at his hands. Before he fainted, he had never seen any female hero.

But the important thing now is not the heroine.

It's his fate.

He lifted the car curtain and urged, "Hurry up, it's almost too late..."

Butler Wu didn't know why he was too late, but he still increased the frequency of swinging the whip.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Chang'an County Government Office.

At this moment, the government office had already been closed. Steward Wu knocked hard on the gate of the county government office. A yamen runner inside said impatiently: "Why are you knocking? Don't you see what time it is? If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow!"

Although I don't know what the young master is in a hurry for, he looks really anxious.

Butler Wu had never seen the young master so anxious.

He leaped into the county government office and opened the door from the inside while the servant was stunned.

Not long.

Another residence in Chang'an.

Li Yuan was wondering why Zhao Ji went to Yuyin Pavilion and didn't come back for a whole day?

He was about to send someone to investigate when suddenly someone rushed in and said, "Master, you are indeed very smart. That Li Nuo has gone to the Chang'an County Government again!"

Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

Good, when he was arrested, he kept saying the Great Xia Law, as if he was so noble.

Why didn't he mention the laws of Daxia when he repeatedly disobeyed the imperial laws?

Double standards!

The double standards are disgusting!

He didn't care about Zhao Ji anymore and immediately said, "Call Liu the Chief to go to the Chang'an County Office!"

Liu Zhushi is an official of the Secretariat. Li Nuo and the officials of the Chang'an County Yamen have repeatedly disobeyed the imperial laws and were caught on the spot by the officials of the Secretariat. Let's see what they have to say!

Chang'an County Government Office.

Butler Wu has found out through the Mingjing Division that the eight killers, known as the "Seven Evils of Tianshan", are famous killers in the martial arts world and are ranked at the top of the killer list.

They are called the Seven Evils of Tianshan, but there are actually eight of them. All eight are warriors of the fourth realm. They have killed countless people and have even teamed up to kill a master.

Every one of these eight people deserves to be killed.

The man killed by Li Nuo was named Huang Tao, the leader of the Seven Evils of Tianshan.

As the strongest among the eight, he died in the assassination.

Inside the county magistrate's office.

While Butler Wu was still marveling at the power of the female knight, Li Nuo was already writing the verdict.

With only a few hours left to live, he was extremely nervous and the hand holding the pen was shaking slightly.

After taking a deep breath, he wrote the last line and then stamped it with Pei Zhe's official seal.

This judgment has been preliminarily completed.

Once the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have completed their review, it will officially take effect.

In the past, at this point, his life span would be increased according to the verdict.

Li Nuo looked at the code with some trepidation.

One day.

Still one day.

Li Nuo even prayed for the law in his heart. Since everyone was so familiar with each other, couldn't he be flexible?

Just this once, he promised to follow the procedure every time...

Unfortunately, the code did not respond to him.

On the cover, it still says the cold word “Day”.

It took a lot of time to get from the Song Mansion to the county government office and then to write the verdict.

No time to think about it.

He must rush to the Dali Temple as soon as possible.

Li Nuo prayed in his heart that the Dali Temple might have some cases that had not been solved yet.

That was his last hope.

Li Nuo was about to stand up.

At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the yamen.

A group of people filed in from outside. Li Yuan led an official with a short beard into the government office and pointed at Li Nuo who was sitting behind the desk. He said, "Master Liu, do you see that these people don't take the court's laws seriously at all? Why don't you..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly shuddered.

Li Yuan looked at Li Nuo and found him sitting behind the desk, staring at him intently.

He had never seen such a look in Li Nuo.

He cut off Li Nuo's path of cultivation, and Li Nuo had never seen him that way.

When he used the golden medal of immunity from death to escape from the Ministry of Justice and was mocked by the Ministry, Li Nuo never looked at him like this.

This look made him feel a deep chill in his heart.

What’s wrong with this guy? Why is his look so scary today?

Looking at Li Yuan, Li Nuo seemed to see hope.

Those killers were killed by Butler Wu and himself, and there was indeed no compliance procedure.

But some people do.

In the case of Li Yuan beating his classmates to death, the evidence is solid. He has confessed to the crime and has signed his name in the Ministry of Justice.

If it weren't for that golden medal of immunity from death, he would be dead now.

There was a gleam in Li Nuo's eyes.

He stood up slowly and said, "Close the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, four old men in gray were already standing at the door, and the door of the yamen slammed shut.

Li Yuan was startled. He came out in a hurry and only brought a fourth-level guard with him. He immediately hid behind the other party and questioned Li Nuo: "What do you want to do? It's fine to disobey the imperial decree three times, but do you want to imprison the imperial official? This is a serious crime!"

clang!

Li Nuo casually pulled out Pei Zhe's sword hanging on the wall.

Butler Wu was also startled and said quickly: "Master, don't be angry first. The court is already investigating this case. The mastermind behind the scenes may not be this person..."

He thought the young master felt that this guy was behind the assassination.

Although the other party had just made a grudge with the young master in the past two days, even if Yunyang Hou had ten times the courage, he would not dare to do so.

Li Nuo certainly knew that these killers were not sent by Li Yuan.

But it doesn’t matter anymore.

He only has less than two hours to live, and even if he goes to the Dali Temple, there may not be a suitable case that can help him break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, it's right in front of us.

Li Yuan's case has gone through all the procedures in the Ministry of Justice.

Li Nuo didn't know whether the law would recognize Li Yuan's death and add back the fifty days of life to him.

It would be great if it could be added back, but if it cannot be added back, just consider it as getting rid of harm for the people.

After Pei Zhe came to his senses, he also walked up to Li Nuo and said to him, "Sir, calm down, calm down!"

Seeing that everyone was trying to persuade Li Nuo, Li Yuan became more courageous. He walked out from behind the guard and sneered, "You dare to kill me? I am the son of a first-class marquis in this dynasty. If you kill me, even your father can't save you!"

Butler Wu wanted to take the knife from Li Nuo, but found that he was holding the knife very tightly.

As if sensing Li Nuo's determination, he raised his head and looked at him in shock.

Li Nuo looked at Butler Wu and said seriously, "Today, either he dies or I die."

He is not angry.

This is a fact.

If Li Yuan doesn't die, he won't live to see tomorrow.

Li Yuan died. Although his life or death is still uncertain, at least there is hope to see tomorrow's sun.

He had no choice.

He, or Li Yuan.

One of them must die today.

Li Nuo's silence made Li Yuan even more certain that he didn't dare.

Of course he didn't dare.

And there is no need.

The two of them didn't have any deep blood feud, so if he killed himself, he wouldn't be able to survive.

Is he crazy? How dare he kill the children of the powerful?

He walked up to Li Nuo, deliberately puffed out his chest, and said, "Come on, stab here..."

puff!

The long knife pierced through his chest and came out from behind.

Li Nuo didn't give him a chance to say a second word.

Butler Wu stared at Li Nuo in astonishment. His movements were so fast that even though he was very close to him, he had no time to react.

Song Jiaren was standing next to Li Nuo. She actually had time to stop it, but she didn't.

Having lived together for so long, she knows Li Nuo very well.

Although he always laughs and jokes with Mu'er on weekdays, when he gets serious, he must have his reasons for doing so.

The old man behind Li Yuan's face changed drastically. He wanted to move forward, but he was locked by four streams of true qi and could not take a step forward.

Magistrate Pei widened his eyes and moved his lips, but did not utter a word.

The head of the Secretariat had already been frightened silly. He didn't expect that the other party would actually dare to kill someone, and the person killed was the eldest son of Marquis Yunyang.

He knelt on the ground with a plop, his body trembling. He kowtowed and said, "Please spare my life. This was all his idea. It has nothing to do with me!"

Li Yuan still had a smile on his face, but he noticed that the expressions of the people around him were not right.

As if realizing something, he lowered his head and saw Li Nuo's hand holding the knife.

wrong.

This knife...

It seems a little short.

There's also some pain in my chest and back.

It hurts a lot.

He saw the knife piercing through his body and looked up at Li Nuo in disbelief. His lips moved but he said nothing in the end.

Li Nuo loosened his hand, and Li Yuan's body fell to the ground weakly.

He glanced at the code and saw that the numbers on it had been updated.

"Lifespan: fifty-one days."

Li Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know what he would face tomorrow, at least he wouldn't suddenly die tonight.

Li Nuo took the initiative to stretch out his hands to Pei Zhe and said, "Master Pei, I'm sorry to trouble you again..."

Pei Zhe wanted to cry but had no tears.

No, even if you want to kill him, can't you change the place? This is my office. No, I have to exchange offices with County Magistrate Zhang in the future, if there is a future...

…

Chang'an County Government Office.

Big prison.

This was not the first time Li Nuo came here, but it was his first time as a prisoner.

After killing Li Yuan, Li Nuo took the initiative to ask Pei Zhe to detain him.

Pei Zhe opened the door of a cell, and Li Nuo, with a sad face, said, "Sir, I have to inconvenience you for a while..."

Li Nuo walked into the cell, looked at Song Jiaren standing outside the cell, and said, "My wife, you go back first."

Pei Zhe clasped his fists to them and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Butler Wu looked at Li Nuo and said, "Master, please stay here for now. I will find a way to save you."

After leaving the prison, Butler Wu asked four gray-robed old men to guard the county government office. Looking at Song Jiaren who seemed to be planning to stay here, he said seriously, "Madam, you can't stay here. I need you to go to the Dali Temple and inform the master of this matter..."

Song Jiaren nodded, turned and left.

Butler Wu walked out of the county government office and ran wildly in the other direction.

That is neither the Dali Temple nor the Li Mansion.

Prince Chun's Mansion.

Although it had already darkened, the hall was still brightly lit.

Prince Chun was playing chess with a young man. He shook his head and said, "Your chess skills are too poor. You are a lousy chess player. You are far inferior to your uncle Li. I am not enjoying the game at all..."

The young master said indignantly: "If it was Uncle Li, he would not be able to enjoy the game. Father's chess skills are only slightly better than mine. What's there to brag about..."

The two exchanged a few derogatory remarks, and someone walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Li Mansion's housekeeper Wu wants to see you."

Prince Chun's face lit up with joy. He was too lazy to play chess anymore. He strode out of the palace gate and looked at the figure waiting there. He smiled and said, "Old Wu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Come in quickly and play a game of chess with me..."

Butler Wu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please stop playing chess. I came here to ask for your help on an important matter."

Prince Chun was stunned when he heard this. The fact that Butler Wu came to him for help showed that this matter was unusual. He believed that their master, who was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, could not solve it.

His expression became more serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

After a moment, Prince Chun opened his mouth wide and asked uncertainly, "What? My nephew killed the eldest son of Marquis Yunyang?"

Butler Wu nodded and briefly told Prince Chun about the feud between the two over the past two days, as well as today's assassination incident.

Prince Chun stroked his chin and muttered, "Killing the son of a powerful noble, and a future second-class marquis, is a capital crime. If it was Li Yun who killed him, it would be okay. But if it was Li Nuo, it would be a bit difficult to deal with..."

The young man standing behind Prince Chun was speechless. What did he mean by it was okay for him to kill him? The Prince Chun couldn't just kill the children of the powerful and wealthy.

Father wouldn't want him to take the blame, right?

No, no, no, after all, he is the king’s biological son, his only son, he should not do this.

Prince Chun suddenly looked at Butler Wu and asked, "Did many people see this?"

Butler Wu nodded: "A lot."

Prince Chun sighed and said, "That won't work..."

If no one saw it and Li Yun was asked to take the blame, he would at most be confined to his house for a period of time.

But if there are many witnesses, it will be impossible to deceive and pass off fake things as real.

He patted Butler Wu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Marquis Yunyang has so many sons. If one or two die, it won't have much impact. I'll try to persuade him tomorrow. If he doesn't want to pursue the matter, it will be much easier to resolve the matter. If he insists on pursuing the matter, I have a golden ticket that will save him from death. It's not a big deal. Just put your mind at ease..."
