Chapter 104 Why don't you give it a try?
Wang Pingshan lay in the spacious carriage, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing even, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The creaking sound of the wheels pressing against the bluestone pavement seemed particularly soothing, and Wang Pingshan ended up in this state not long after getting into the car.
Suddenly, a cold glint of light pierced through the carriage curtain and shot directly at Wang Pingshan.
But just as the cold light was about to reach Wang Pingshan, Wang Pingshan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the cold light, instantly stopping it in its tracks.
A long sword with pine-patterned blades was held between Wang Pingshan's two fingers, swaying back and forth, while his closed eyes slowly opened.
The longsword trembled slightly, and the person who drew it seemed to want to withdraw, but Wang Pingshan's two fingers were as if cast in steel, firmly clamping the longsword between them.
"withdraw!"
A loud shout came from outside the carriage. The newcomer released his longsword and tried to leave, but Wang Pingshan reached out with his other hand, grabbed the longsword, and then snapped it off.
The next moment, the longsword shattered into dozens of pieces, piercing through the curtain and rushing into the darkness outside the carriage.
Several screams rang out in succession, followed by chaotic footsteps from all directions.
...
Back in his residence, Ding Yi checked his little tricks as usual. Satisfied that no one had triggered them, he nodded and prepared to begin his cultivation for the day.
Although he had already undergone a transformation and achieved the status of a so-called grandmaster, Ding Yi still felt a sense of pressure after seeing Yu Rongguang today.
My intuition tells me that worshipping gods is not that simple, otherwise how could they have occupied ten states and sidelined the royal family in just a few decades?
"It's still too weak after all."
Ding Yi looked at his palm and murmured to himself.
Just as Ding Yi had been cultivating for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he suddenly heard a huge explosion outside, which startled him.
"Explosives?"
This sound could definitely not be produced by internal energy. A thought flashed through Ding Yi's mind in an instant, and he stared blankly out the window.
The fact that such a huge commotion could come from the inner city told Ding Yi that something serious must have happened. He frowned and immediately pushed open the door to go into the courtyard to see the direction from which the explosion came.
But to Ding Yi's surprise, the explosions did not occur in one place, but from all directions, which almost made Ding Yi suspect that outsiders had invaded the inner city.
"By order of the lord, there are thieves causing trouble, and no one is allowed to leave their home!!"
"By order of the lord, there are thieves causing trouble, and no one is allowed to leave their home!!"
Suddenly, the sound of hooves came from outside the courtyard gate. A group of black-armored guards rode demon horses at high speed down the street, holding torches and shouting.
The inner city, which was originally pitch black, was illuminated by these streaks of fire. Many people came out of their houses when they heard the noise, but were so frightened by the roar of the black-armored guards that they quickly hid back inside.
"Thieves causing chaos??"
Upon hearing this term, the words "Chaos God Cult" immediately came to mind for Ding Yi.
"Fuck, isn't it?"
Ding Yi was startled, but then he thought that today was a grand banquet at the Sun family mansion, and almost all the prominent figures in Qingfeng County were present. If he really wanted to stir up some trouble, this was indeed the best opportunity.
In an instant, a multitude of thoughts surged through Ding Yi's mind, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and went back into the house, opened the hidden compartment under the kitchen floor tiles, took out the quicksand map and spread it out to look at it.
At this moment, there are still no red crosses on the quicksand map, which means that the experts in the city have not yet focused their attention on him.
There is still time.
The thought crossed Ding Yi's mind. He then put the item back into the hidden compartment and hid it before going outside the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, the chaotic footsteps and shouts grew increasingly frequent. Ding Yi knew that the city's patrol officers had joined the search party.
The occasional screams and sounds of fighting indicated that the so-called thieves were gradually being surrounded, and it was only a matter of time before they were captured or killed on the spot.
Suddenly, a figure climbed over the courtyard wall and landed, staggering and falling to the ground, which startled Ding Yi.
The man was wearing a mask and dressed in black. His eyes showed some surprise, clearly indicating that he hadn't expected anyone to be so calmly watching the scene from the courtyard amidst the shouts of battle outside.
Ding Yi sized up the newcomer and noticed that one of his hands was missing, and blood was dripping onto the ground in the yard with a crisp sound.
Ding Yi glanced at the newcomer, then at the man whose forearm was tightly bound by a black cloth. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the man say:
Shh! Don't shout!
Ding Yi frowned, then saw the man stagger to his feet and walk toward him with a knife in his hand.
"Since this isn't about worshipping gods, and we all have a common enemy, as long as you don't shout, I won't hurt you!"
As he spoke, the man threw the steel knife in his hand to the ground, then waved his severed hand at Ding Yi.
"I'll stay here for a while, and leave when no one's around outside."
As the man spoke, he moved even closer to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi looked at the man, who seemed to have forgotten how to react because of excessive fear. But the next moment, he suddenly took a step and teleported several meters away like a ghost, pointing a finger at the man's chest.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, a burst of powerful energy shot out, instantly shattering the intruder's heart. His body flew backward, crashing heavily against the courtyard wall with a "thud."
"Oh no, I used too much force."
Ding Yi frowned, watching the person slowly sliding down the wall, and muttered to himself.
Then, as was his habit, he put on gloves and bent down to pick up a long needle from the ground.
The long needle, which had been held by that person in reverse, only fell to the ground with a "ding" after Ding Yi pointed at his body.
"With this level of skill, you dare to distort the truth?"
Ding Yi shook his head, then took the long needle and walked towards the corpse, placing the needle into the man's chest.
Then, Ding Yi put away the gloves and placed them in his pocket. He looked around the courtyard, trying to see if there was anything he had missed, but unexpectedly, he heard another "bang".
Ding Yi's courtyard gate was kicked open, and a group of constables carrying torches rushed in.
Ding Yi recognized the leader; he was Huo Qiu, the deputy captain of another patrol team.
As soon as Huo Qiu entered, his eagle eyes swept around the room before quickly landing on the corpse next to the wall, and then turning to Ding Yi.
"Ding Hai?"
Huo Qiu looked at Ding Yi, paused for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
"Investigating the rebels turned out to be a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple."
Huo Qiu looked at Ding Yi and spoke slowly.
"Captain Huo, the man is dead."
Ding Yi pointed to the corpse lying at the entrance of the courtyard.
Huo Qiu glanced at the corpse, then waved his hand. Immediately, a constable walked over, pulled off the man's mask, and then opened the man's eyelids to look at his pupils.
"Huo Tou is dead."
The man shouted.
"Ding Hai, how did the person die?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu looked at Ding Yi and asked coldly.
"He tried to kill me, but I killed him instead."
Ding Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu walked to Ding Yi's side, looked at Ding Yi, and then said, word by word:
"Are you kidding me? You, a mere clerk who has only reached the minor stage of Bone Forging, have turned the tables and killed a rebel who has reached the major stage of Bone Forging?!"
"Would you like to try it too?"
Ding Yi's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Huo Qiu and suddenly spoke.
