Chapter 34 Kill the Old Man The talisman shot out from the second floor on the street hit the deputy who was riding on a horse in the middle of the street. However, the power of the [Break] character spell and the [Defend] character spell of the deerskin canceled each other out, and the deputy was not injured. The guards surrounded and protected him. When the pure white boy suddenly appeared among the Lingwei, Hu San shouted: "Ah Si!" The inner energy in the boy's hand disappeared. He turned his head in the direction of the voice, stared in the direction of the voice with his pure white eyes, and then stood there quietly. When the guards saw that the young man had given up resistance, they quickly raised their swords and stepped forward to kill the assassin. When Hu San saw that the boy responded to his call, he felt even more complicated. How did the well-behaved and cute little brother become what he is now? However, he couldn't let his brother get hurt because of him, so he gritted his teeth, covered his face, rushed forward, picked up the young man and locked him in his arms. White true energy emerged from his palms and knocked away several Lingwei who were blocking his way. He snatched a Lingwei's horse and galloped in a random direction. Although the strange-looking assassin had been taken away, the crisis had not been resolved. The guards did not dare to pursue him rashly on their own initiative without the order of the deputy commander. The old man on the second floor had a livid face and cursed angrily in a low voice. He quickly took out the pennant from his waist and waved it at the guards downstairs. At the same time, Ruan Xing, who had been hiding in the store, quietly went up to the second floor, held out a handful of the [Break] character in his left hand, and when the time was right, threw it at the old man's hand.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. The endless [Break] characters not only broke the [Protect] character defense on the old man, but also knocked down the triangular flag in his hand. The flag flew to the wall next to it due to inertia and fell to the ground with a plop. The old man's tattered clothes barely covered his private parts. His face was covered in black ash and small wounds. He looked at Ruan Xing with a ferocious look, "Who are you? Why do you use these spells?" Ruan Xing did not answer, but cast the [Break] spell again to make the pennant fly further away, cutting off the old man's plan to use words to delay and take the opportunity to pick up the flag. Seeing this, the old man knew that the current situation was beyond his expectations, so he took out two talismans and prepared to fight back. However, Ruan Xing threw a handful of chili powder at him with his right hand, and the old man was caught off guard and screamed. His eyes were red and he tried to open them, but everything in front of him was blurry, and he could not find the accurate direction to throw the talisman. Taking this opportunity, Ruan Xing took out his dagger. White energy was surging on the blade, almost forming a circle of substantial light. He added the character [疾] to his body, and in a breath he took a step forward and covered a distance of more than three meters. The old man seemed to realize that he was the weak one. In panic, he took a step back and moved closer to the windowsill, wanting to turn over and escape. However, his every step was calculated by Ruan Xing. Before he turned around, the sharp dagger had already pierced his heart. The expression of disbelief on his face gradually solidified. The dagger was drawn out, and the old man's skinny body fell down with a bang. Ruan Xing stepped forward directly, covered the sword with white inner energy and placed it across the side of the old man's neck. With one strike of the sword, the man's head was separated, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Although she also wanted to capture the old man alive and ask him where the secret book came from and about the cultivation of immortals in this world, this was already the best result after her many simulated battles. She could only regretfully kill him on the spot. It's impossible that he is the only evil cultivator in the world. There will always be a chance to meet other cultivators in the future, and we will get to know them better then. At this time, less than five minutes had passed since the old man started attacking the magistrate. He picked up the flag on the ground and searched the old man for the remaining things. However, he didn't know if the old man was so stingy to himself, as he only had three or four talismans on him. After kicking in disgust, Ruan Xing went out. She waved and soon Young Master Liu came up with two guards. Although he looked nervous, he was still careful and calm. He whispered to Ruan Xing, "I have known these two brothers since childhood. I can trust them." "Well, I'm glad you can trust me." Ruan Xing nodded. She was masked anyway, and the two guards didn't know who she was. "The murderer is inside, and he has been killed. You have received this credit, so don't let me down." "I understand." Young Master Liu nodded solemnly. Almost all the customers in the store had run away because of this sudden incident. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Ruan Xing quietly left with his spoils, leaving the battlefield to those who would clean up afterward. She avoided people all the way back to Hu San's residence and asked carefully, "Did anyone notice you on the way?" "No." Hu San shook his head. "No one was chasing us. I ran a few streets with Ah Si, let the horse run in a random direction, found an empty house, changed clothes, and covered Ah Si with a cloak before I dared to turn back." After saying this, Hu San's face was tense and his tone was pleading, "Miss, what happened to my brother now?" He showed hope on his face. The young lady was so powerful and mysterious, there must be a way to save his brother and return him to normal. Ruan Xing turned his head and saw the young man in pure white sitting obediently on a worn-out stool, with his knees together, very quiet. At this point, all he could do was tell Hu San the truth. Ruan Xing said helplessly, "My condolences. Actually, your brother is dead now."
"Dead?" Hu San couldn't believe it. "But now, he is still moving and responding to what I say..." Ruan Xing explained: "That's because his soul still remembers you, and he has an instinctive reaction. You just hugged him all the way, didn't you notice that there was no warmth on his body?" Hearing this, Hu San was somewhat distraught. He squatted beside the young man in a panic, rubbing his hands on his knees, and muttered, "The skin is soft...but, his body is so cold..." In such hot weather, the boy was cold all over. He had no breathing and no pulse. He was just a moving corpse. In order to make Hu San realize the truth as soon as possible, Ruan Xing stepped forward and pried open the boy's mouth. Inside his lips were densely stitched silk threads. "His mouth was sealed, and a wisp of Yin Qi condensed in his mouth, which kept his body from rotting and his joints from stiffening. He looked like a living person." "But now, he can still move and recognize me!" Hu San had tears in his eyes. He prostrated himself on the ground and begged Ruan Xing, "Miss, is there really no way? I beg you, didn't you say that his soul is still there? Can you give him my body? Let him live in my body!" Ruan Xing sighed and gave Hu San some hope: "He can absorb Yin Qi, practice the way of ghosts, and become a Shura in the future. Maybe he can regain his sanity and get his memory back." Ruan Xing needs the young man to be her puppet. His ghost escape skills are perfect and can be quite useful to her. In the future, she can also help the young man cultivate ghost energy and find high-grade treasures to re-refine the essence of the puppet for him. However, even if the boy becomes successful in the way of the ghost in the future, he will never be able to live like a normal person. "Then you..." Hu San hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask Ruan Xing for help, but he didn't know what price he would have to pay to bring someone back to life. What's more, what he had done for Ruan Xing was really not worth mentioning. He hadn't even repaid Ruan Xing for helping him improve his martial arts level. How could he still ask her to save his brother? Ruan Xing reached out and touched the boy's face, and with a little force, he picked a pair of round white jade beads out of his eye sockets. (End of this chapter)
