Zhao Fan was too lazy to pay attention to the middle-aged man holding the knife. The next moment, his attention was focused on the core house.
There, there was a one-armed middle-aged man in the early stage of the Xuan Order.
His rank is probably the strongest in Shenhuo City!
"That should be the city lord."
Zhao Fan nodded slightly.
The one-armed Lord of Shenhuo City slumped on the ground in despair, and in his arms, he held an already cold corpse. It was a young man, a teenager at best.
The body of the corpse was covered with bruises. Zhao Fanxian's boredom counted more than 200 wounds in total. Not only that, there were four kinds of injuries, including knife wounds, ax wounds, stick blows, and The hole penetrated by the gun was horrific...
"Son."
The one-armed city lord said in a hoarse voice: "I told you a long time ago, don't think that because your father is the city lord, you can do whatever you want without restraint. It's too late now. But don't worry, I will definitely catch your murderer. of!"
He closed his eyes and cried while holding his son's body.
Zhao Fan "watched" this scene thoughtfully, and the whole story was probably clear. Maybe the city lord's son was too arrogant and provoked four monks who didn't care about his identity, so he was killed.
Therefore, the city lord sent the middle-aged man with a knife to catch the murderer overnight.
Even so, you can't just arrest people without proof and use them as scapegoats, right?
If this were not the case, Zhao Fan might still have some sympathy for the city lord's plight.
On the other side, the sword-wielding middle-aged man had ended his romantic relationship, which took less than ten breaths in total. What's even more amazing is that the three maids were all favored in turn.
"this……"
Zhao Fan couldn't help it and laughed out loud. After all, the other party was also an advanced monk, but he didn't expect that the speed of the incident made Zhao Fan feel like he was thrown away.
"Master Chen, I... still want to..." A maid looked a little disappointed and said with a forced smile.
"Okay, wait." The middle-aged man holding the knife worked hard for a long time. Finally, he slapped the three maids out of the room with an angry slap, "Get out!"
His chest was shaking with anger.
After a while, the middle-aged man holding a knife picked up the communication magic weapon and said, "Wang Ming, come over and have a drink."
After lighting the incense, a handsome man came to the former's house with two large jars of wine. He smiled and said, "Chen Jun, from your tone, it seems that you are not in a good mood."
"well."
Chen Jun walked out of the house gloomily, sat on the stone table, took a jar of wine, drank it hard first, and said: "It's really not good, Wang Ming, please stop hiding it. Please tell me how I can do it." Slow down a little, I don't want to be as powerful as you, even if it's only one ten thousandth of yours, that's fine."
"Well, it depends on talent."
While drinking, Wang Ming smiled and said, "You can't give me any advice, unless you are lucky and encounter a genius that will make you famous."
"..."
Chen Jun said without tears, "I'm so miserable."
"I'm miserable too." Wang Ming said a little depressed, "I still want to be ugly like you. I'm so handsome. I attract bees and butterflies wherever I go. I'm almost bored to death."
"If you say anything else, there will be nothing you can do, brother." Chen Jun made an ugly face.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, stop talking, drink."
Wang Ming wanted to laugh but held it back. Then, as if he remembered something, he asked, "By the way, have you caught the four murderers who killed the young city lord?"
"I didn't catch it, but it's equivalent to catching it." Chen Jun said in a low voice: "Those murderers didn't leave any traces, so I had to temporarily go to the bullshit Strong Inn and arrested four people with quite aura fluctuations. Anyway, no one has witnessed the murderer’s lineup, passers-by only know what the state is.”
"Isn't there something wrong with this?"
Wang Ming said displeasedly: "Although you and I have both entered the rank, but who didn't come from a weak place and directly arrested four innocent people from the wilderness to take the blame? Alas, let's let them go."
"Let go?"
Chen Jun shook his head and said: "To put it simply, if I let them go, the city lord will not let me go. You will only say sarcastic words if the task of arresting them is not on your head."
"Forget it, you can drink this wine yourself, I'll go back."
Wang Ming ignored Chen Jun's expression, stood up and left.
"Go, go, go, all go."
Chen Jun smashed the two wine jars to pieces.
…
But Wang Ming, after leaving, went directly to the prison.
"Lord Wang."
The jailer saluted respectfully.
"Where is the murderer that Brother Chen captured? Where is he being held?" Wang Ming asked expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty King Qi, it's in the death row area inside." the jailer replied.
"Take me in."
Wang Ming said matter-of-factly: "The city lord decided to execute them tonight."
"good."
The jailer leads the way.
After a while, Wang Ming arrived at the death row area. He looked at the four monks in the wilderness and said in a cold and arrogant voice: "Get up, don't pretend to be dead, I will send you on your way."
The jailers opened the magic circle on the cell door and pushed and kicked four innocent monks, including Zhao Fan, out.
"This Wang Ming is pretty good."
Zhao Fan looked at the handsome man who pretended to pass on the imperial edict, and spoke highly of him, because he obviously came secretly to let him go. This was his compassion for the weak.
The other three monks, who didn't know the truth, were frightened and looked pale.
Without saying a word, Wang Ming released his magic power, turning it into a rope to wrap around the four monks in the wilderness, and walked in front to hold them.
After he left the boss, he first pretended to walk a short distance in the direction of the core residence, and then took a detour through a highly concealed path to the small door on the west side of the mansion.
Wang Ming sighed, took out the Yuan Bing, cut off the restraints on everyone, and said, "Let's go. It's best to leave Shenhuo City within one stick of incense, otherwise, there is no guarantee that you will be captured again."
"ah?"
"Sir, do you really want to let us go?"
"thanks, thanks!"
The old man in the holy realm, the young girl Wu Zun, and the middle-aged Wu Zun had already accepted their fate to face death, but unexpectedly, in a twist of fate, they were released!
They saluted gratefully and began to escape without looking back.
Only Zhao Fan stood still and did not move. He looked at Wang Ming and said, "Your Excellency, you released the criminal who killed the young city lord privately. Aren't you afraid of the city lord's wrath?"
Wang Ming spread his hands and said, "I just can't stand all the nonsense, so I let you go privately. If I don't leave, I will regret it."
The next moment, what stunned him was that the young man said, "Then don't leave, just take me back."
Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, "Are you tired of living?"
"no."
Zhao Fan said with a smile: "I don't like to see good people not getting rewarded."
"you……"
Wang Ming said with a complicated expression: "Silly."
Zhao Fan smiled indifferently. In an instant, his soul power surged, isolating a five-meter radius, and then released his own aura fluctuations.
Although there was no pressure on Wang Ming, the other party still felt that the figure in front of him was like an unattainable huge mountain standing here...
"What?"
Wang Ming seemed to have turned to stone. He lost his voice in shock and said: "This aura wave is more powerful than the city lord's. You...your real rank is at least the middle stage of Xuan rank, right?"
"Um."
Zhao Fan smiled and nodded.
"senior."
Wang Ming saluted with neither humility nor arrogance: "I have offended you many times before, please forgive me for my blindness."
"Don't blame those who don't know."
After Zhao Fan finished speaking, his aura fluctuated and returned to the martial arts master, and his soul power also disappeared.
Wang Ming said with some restraint: "Senior, Chen Jun had no choice but to arrest people randomly. Please don't kill him in anger. After all, if he cannot catch the murderer, he will be killed by the city lord in anger."
"I can't see that he is so important to you." Zhao Fan looked at the former in confusion.
"I can't help it. Who made me and that guy endure the most difficult days together?" Wang Ming said with emotion: "If the senior is unwilling to let him go, I am willing to pay the price for him."
Zhao Fan paid attention to the other party's expression and said: "That price is very high, it may be death."
"Fell?" Wang Ming nodded without fear.
"I appreciate you."
Zhao Fan casually threw out a storage ring and said lightly: "There are 10,000 yuan stones in it, as well as a low-grade earth-level skill scroll and its matching secret method, as well as two top-level Xuan-level yuan weapons for offense and defense. , sent to you."
"ah?"
Wang Ming looked at Zhao Fan in disbelief. If those things really existed, they would be of great value. He felt like he was living in a dream at this moment.
"Take me back to prison."
Zhao Fan's voice fell into the other party's ears.
"That's...ok."
Wang Ming put away the ring and was too embarrassed to verify it in person, so he took Zhao Fan back to the prison first.
Sudden asked inexplicably: "Master Wang, why did you bring one of them back again?"
Wang Ming explained casually and perfunctorily, "Don't ask me what the city lord means."
After that, he sent Zhao Fan to the death row area and said via voice transmission: "Senior, do you want something to eat?"
"No need." Zhao Fan shook his head and suggested: "You'd better leave Shenhuo City before the superiors find out. As for Chen Jun, I'm too lazy to be familiar with him."
"Um……"
Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left.
…
The next day, early morning.
A row of peak gods rushed into the prison, only to find that only one of the four murderers was the weakest martial arts master. They panicked instantly. After questioning the jailer, they knew that the situation had escalated. As the right-hand man of the city lord, Mr. Wang, It is very possible that the three criminals who killed the young city lord were released privately, so some of them were divided to keep an eye on Zhao Fan, while the other part went to inform Mr. Chen and the city lord.
Next, everything from the City Lord's Mansion to Shenhuo City was in a state of panic.
The Lord of Shenhuo City was furious and issued a wanted order, vowing to capture Wang Ming and cut him to death with tens of thousands of knives.
On the surface, Chen Jun searched hard, but in fact he was just scratching his head. He couldn't understand what his brother was doing, but he couldn't bear to catch him.
And Zhao Fan became the only member of the criminal gang...
The Lord of Shenhuo City planned to vent all his anger on Zhao Fan. He used the top ten torture methods in the Ten Thousand Fire Territory, called "Thousands of Hammers"!
The instruments of torture were a giant hammer full of barbs and an earth-fire incinerator with a temperature so high that even ordinary Yuan soldiers could melt.
Zhao Fan was taken to the execution ground. The monks from the City Lord's Mansion, except Wang Ming and the murderer who went to arrest, all came here to watch.
The Lord of Shenhuo City looked at Zhao Fan fiercely, "You were the one who killed my son? Tell me, where did the other three escape, and what are their backgrounds?"
"Sorry, I don't know them."
Zhao Fan faced the huge thorn hammer and earth fire furnace above and behind him. He said to the former without changing his expression: "As for the death of your son, what does it have to do with me."
"At this time, you still dare to speak harshly!"
The Lord of Shenhuo City seemed to have lost his mind and immediately ordered: "Come here, pull out this child's soul, hammer your body a thousand times, and burn your soul for a hundred breaths!"
Not only did Zhao Fan not show any fear, but he glanced back and forth between the huge thorn hammer and the earth fire furnace with great interest.
The three peak gods who were responsible for executing the punishment stepped onto the Xingtai aggressively. One of them held a hook in his hand and hooked towards Zhao Fan.
This hook is called "Soul-binding Hook", and its quality reaches the level of ordinary Yuan Weapon. Even if it touches the physical body, it will be like passing through the void without causing any harm. It is specifically targeted at the soul!
