Zhou Jing nodded but did not say anything else.
On the other side, Guo Haishen did not think so much. His face was flushed with excitement, and he was so touched that he could barely speak.
The magistrate was also the one who had set up a trap to harm him. Although he was not the mastermind, he had done his best to support the four noble families.
However, Guo Haishen only dared to think about taking revenge on the four great nobles. He subconsciously did not dare to think about the magistrate.
Unexpectedly, this Brother Chen Feng dared to risk the world’s condemnation to avenge him!
If not for the fact that everyone was in the midst of escaping, he really wanted to stop Zhou Jing at this very spot and become sworn brothers with him.
Everyone immediately asked about the exact process of killing the He and Huang families.
At the mention of this topic, Fang Zhen became interested. He described Zhou Jing’s abilities as if they were unparalleled in the world. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, feeling as if they were listening to a heavenly scripture.
However, Gao Yun had also testified. The others could only believe most of it and were secretly shocked.
This Chen Feng’s strength was actually so astonishing to the point he could break through hundreds of guards from two families in a row. He was more than a hundred people’s match!
There was actually such an expert in the world?
Xiang Tianjie was extremely surprised and could not help but exchange a surprised look with the other leaders of the Heavenly King Stronghold.
“The Death Beckoning Yama King’s martial arts is unparalleled, to the point he can actually fight hundreds of people twice. An ordinary martial artist can only last one round against him. Even our leader doesn’t have such ability, right?”
“That’s right. I’ve never heard of anyone in the world who has such martial arts. I wonder if the leaders of those legendary martial arts sects have such skills.”
Everyone discussed softly, feeling bewildered.
On the other side, Guo Haishen became even more excited. He quickly grabbed Zhou Jing’s arm,
“I love sparring with the experts of the world the most in my life. We brothers have to get close in the future!”
His reputation as a martial artist was basically earned through finding people to compete in martial arts everywhere. He was a martial arts fanatic to begin with. When he heard that Zhou Jing’s martial arts was ridiculously high, he was immediately delighted. He felt that they were on the same side, and his good impression of Zhou Jing soared even further.
“Sure, sure. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Zhou Jing did not refuse and replied happily.
Everyone surrounded Zhou Jing and chatted for a while. Only when they saw that the sky was gradually turning dark did they reduce their chatter and focus on traveling.
Zhou Jing finally got some time alone to himself. He opened the interface and took a look.
After causing trouble in the state capital, the [Twelve Spear Styles] had increased by one level, reaching Lv3. His other skills had also improved, but they had not been upgraded yet.
In addition, he had killed many enemies this time. The support function [Character Level System] had accumulated enough experience to allow him to jump to Level 3.
Every time this support function was upgraded, it would give him an additional 0 to 2 attribute points, up til the upper limit of Level 10. His luck was not bad these two upgrades, and he received 2 attribute points each time.
With the current physical fitness of Apostle #004, it already had a unique advantage in this low-level martial world. In the future, it would also increase quickly when practicing martial arts. However, its resistance was only at 22 points now, which was not as fast as the increase in physical fitness. Therefore, cold weapons were still a threat. If he encountered crossbows, it would be even more dangerous.
He thought for a moment and felt that the benefits of adding points to resistance were higher now, increasing his resistance to 26 points. If he could increase his resistance to the Second Order, then with the technological level of their weapons coupled with his extraordinary strength of this world, he would have a safety guarantee even if he participated in a large-scale war.
The additional attribute points provided by this support function were not much. He decided to use it to make up for the relatively difficult but key shortcomings.
In addition, he had gained many other benefits from this operation.

“There are so many things… And two milestones are probably a little…”
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.
It was fine for him to aim for the [World’s Best] milestone achievement, but it would be a little ruthless for him to slaughter tens of thousands. Did he really want to kill tens of thousands with his own hands?
To be honest, if he really risked everything to farm, it would not be difficult to finish it. However, after thinking about it, Zhou Jing gave up on it.
Although after the baptism of the Mutant World, he had already shed all unnecessary thoughts about killing, he still felt that it was better to let this milestone go. If he deliberately tried to fulfill it and completely released the ferocious beast in his heart, he would probably find it harder and harder to control himself in the future. Perhaps this was the negative state of “heart demon” and “evil” emphasized in the introduction.
Putting aside the conditions for completion, the rewards for these two milestones were indeed generous. Among them, he had been coveting the [Support Function Upgrade] for a long time.
Having performed so many astral travels, he had activated a few milestones, but he had not managed to complete any of them.
The closest thing to completing it was the [True·Mutant Beast Hunter] in the Mutant World. Unfortunately, the connection in the astral world had been severed, so there was no chance to complete it for the time being.
In addition, he had obtained another Life Episode this time. He did not expect that the first time he traveled through Apostle #004, he would already obtain two Life Episodes.
“Let’s take it slow… No matter what, after causing such a huge commotion this time, it’s impossible to keep a low profile.”
Zhou Jing composed himself, closed the interface, and walked with everyone into the night..
…
Not long after everyone fled, the bloated bureaucracy of An Lin’s government finally reacted in fury and shock. They quickly treated the magistrate and ordered the city gate to be sealed off. The officials then searched the city for the thieves as well as sent a large number of troops to search outside.
In an instant, the entire city turned into chaos.
The news of the Death Beckoning Yama King destroying the He and Huang families and severely injuring the magistrate spread like wildfire throughout the city.
The citizens who did not know about the change in the south of the city were all shocked when they heard this.
The tragic state of the He and Huang families and the magistrate made many citizens cheer in their hearts. After being bullied for so many years, there was finally someone who helped them in seeking justice.
As for Chen Feng’s act of sharing the wealth with the people, it made many people secretly regret not being present at that time and missing out on a windfall.
In addition, many of the passing merchants who were temporarily staying in An Lin Prefecture also learned of this matter. This shocking news was naturally spread by them through word of mouth.
These traveling merchants had always been the source of rumors. What happened in a certain place would often spread through their mouths.
In a day, the state capital was shaken!
The title of Death Beckoning Yama King was gradually imprinted in the hearts of many people.
