838 Liquidation of Dalong Prefecture
Before making a move, I had already done a lot of research and tested out the monster's attack patterns and routes!
Facing the murloc's ferocious claws, he calmly raised his shield. With a series of loud clangs, the murloc's two consecutive attacks, like steel clashing, instantly neutralized the murloc's assault.
Although they completely withstood the attack, they showed no sign of underestimating the merman. The merman's attacks did not stop for a moment, nor did their power weaken in the slightest!
The longsword in his hand was like a silver lightning bolt, its tip gleaming. He felt he had used all his strength, and the tip of the sword, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, pierced towards the fishman's vitals.
Every strike was the same; every strike hit its mark, every strike piercing the fishman's body!
If it were an ordinary enemy, they would have fallen and died long ago!
However, the murlocs are impossible to kill, and it seems impossible to cut them off at all!
General Lou also discovered many clues. The longer the two sides fought, the more he felt how terrifying the fishmen were. They were completely different from the fish monsters he had fought before. It was rare to find one that he could not kill!
The swordsman's movements were fluid and graceful, his steps agile and powerful, each movement precisely blocking the murloc's attacks.
And every time he struck, he pierced the murloc's body, but the murloc seemed neither tired nor injured, maintaining his attack intensity relentlessly!
It was as if, just as it had been said before, the merman would not die unless his head was severed!
With the stalemate continuing, General Lou made a decisive move and ordered, "Spearmen, attack!"
Two spearmen charged out like lightning, their spears tracing sharp lines in the air, flashing with a cold light, like two silver lightning bolts.
He exerted all his strength and speed, but was hampered by the fog, and was only a fraction of a second faster than the fishman.
The spear pierced the merman's throat in an instant, as if it had struck a vital spot. The spear then swept upwards and horizontally with unparalleled power, severing the merman's head and splattering blood everywhere.
The merman, still in the midst of his attack, finally collapsed, lying stiffly on the ground, unable to move any further, and completely lifeless.
The surroundings fell silent instantly, with little cheering. A fish-man monster was so difficult to kill that its head had to be severed. The atmosphere was eerily silent!
General Lou stepped forward, intending to pick up the fishman's corpse, but it wouldn't budge!
He exerted all his strength, the power of the Martial King, enough to split mountains and sever rivers, but he still couldn't pull it, as if it were nailed to the ground!
The true energy surged, reaching the arm, but it was as weak as a hair on a cow, and the arm could not be moved.
General Lou's expression was strange, his eyes slightly horrified, but he remained silent and waited for a moment. The fishman's corpse slowly disappeared, as if it had never existed!
"General, there's a spiritual fruit over there!" Suddenly, a guard whispered, pointing to a spiritual fruit growing on a familiar foxtail grass six feet away. The fruit was brimming with spiritual energy, and it was hard to believe!
General Lou stepped forward and examined it carefully; it was indeed a spiritual fruit!
He picked it in his hand, feeling its reality instantly, and whispered, 'It truly is a miracle, it truly is a spiritual fruit!'
He placed it in the jade box, his gaze fixed on the distance, a sense of calculation and speculation forming in his mind. He gently waved his hand and said in a deep voice, 'Continue forward, be careful. If you encounter any monsters, attack together, decapitate them, and kill them as quickly as possible!'
In Dalong Prefecture, Ren Pingsheng and Lin Yi had been there for some time. They looked at the military camp in the distance and remained silent.
Ren Pingsheng said softly, "It's all been investigated. It really is a remnant of the former leader. He's gotten involved with some of the Fire Spirit Sect's connections and is willing to be a pawn to test them out!"
However, he was also cautious, sending his subordinates and lackeys to the front lines, and even using bribery and sexual enticement—it all looked like normal embezzlement!
Lin Yi glanced at Captain Guan, nodded slightly, and replied, "Captain Guan should also be aware of this, yet he sent us to handle it. Although it's overly cautious, it's also a way to clear his own name."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, and couldn't help but think of himself and his companions, who had also had Captain Guan bring back a great deal of gold and silver.
With a slight smile, she said softly, "Since you trust us, we must be cautious and diligent, and not become arrogant or blinded!"
Lin Yi nodded in agreement, understanding what Ren Pingsheng meant, and thought to himself, "The master doesn't care, because compared to the master, we are all no match for even a single blow!"
Only by encouraging ourselves and doing our best in our duties can we follow the guidance of our elders and realize our aspirations!
Otherwise, if we had discovered the Fire Spirit Cult today, we probably wouldn't have dared to investigate further.
Moreover, the Fire Spirit Cult did not secretly send any experts to issue a warning or even directly eliminate them!
Although King Wu holds some status, he cannot be compared to the Fire Spirit Cult!
The two exchanged a smile, and suddenly felt incredibly good to have such a powerful backer!
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "There's one point that we've only deduced, and I'm afraid we might deny it!"
Ren Pingsheng smiled slightly, his killing intent radiating, and whispered, 'Should they be killed?'
Lin Yi nodded heavily, 'Serves you right!'
Ren Pingsheng said in a deep voice, "That's enough. If you blame me, I will take full responsibility!"
If I don't kill him, I'll die with regrets!
The opportunity is before, but I lacked the strength to seize it; I don't know when the opportunity will come again. Tonight, I don't want to have any regrets!
A low, guttural roar, like a wild beast, 'Why do I wait even though I know it's them!'
I didn't have the chance before, but I won't miss it tonight!
I do not want to let the wicked and evildoers go unpunished and allow them to wreak havoc; I do not want to be compassionate and suffer harm again; I do not want to miss an opportunity because of so-called evidence, even though I know their crimes are numerous and countless!
I don't want to!
I do not wish to hold a single-edged sword in my hand, for I am ashamed to let it be covered in dust.
I didn't expect that Ren Pingsheng's murderous intent would be so intense, his eyes seemingly filled with madness!
Lin Yi paused for a moment, a hint of reminiscence in his expression.
He wholeheartedly agreed and whispered a promise: 'This matter should be a joint decision between us. Tonight, anyone who breaks the rules will be executed!'
If the adults blame us, we'll share the responsibility!
They exchanged a gentle glance, as if both of them could see right through each other's thoughts, and nodded slightly.
Ren Pingsheng felt a surge of gratitude and said in a deep voice, "Don't keep Commander Guan waiting too long. They're setting off tomorrow, so we need to reassure Commander Guan about the rear!"
Mi Zhanguo and Lu Zhanyuan remained silent. The matter of Dalong Prefecture involved too many things. In the past, the two of them would not have been able to get involved in this matter. But tonight, they would have to take action to deal with it.
'Cut the weeds and pull out the roots, plow the courtyard six feet high'
Ren Pingsheng and Lin Yi quickly arrived together. Lin Yi clasped his hands in a deep fist salute and softly thanked them, saying, "Thank you both for coming to help!"
Mi Zhanguo and Lu Zhanyuan smiled slightly, clasped their hands in return, and said, "Lord Lin, you are too kind. It is my duty!"
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said softly, "After things are settled here, I'll host a welcome dinner for you both!"
The night was deep, and the cold wind brought a different kind of chill; tonight, the wind seemed to penetrate to the bone!
Lin Yi and Ren Pingsheng left together, heading towards the Chong family mansion, a vassal family of the former lord of the mansion!
