"A martial arts master is so poor?!"
Han Zhao couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.
The sword just now used most of his body's true energy, and also released half of the sword energy contained in the sword of death, and then killed Meng Jue.
One thousand taels can only be counted as nutritional expenses.
If you are so poor, you still imitate others and try to rob you!
I haven’t even developed the good habit of carrying cheats with me.
Meng Jue's marksmanship seems to be very powerful, it would be nice if he had the secret book with him.
It wasn't until the Karma Saber absorbed all the energy and blood in Meng Jue's body and the data in the system panel changed that Han Zhao shifted his attention.
——The karma-killing knife·spiritual weapon
Grade: Not yet advanced
Spirituality: 2% (can be improved)
Sword Intent: 3%
Special Effect: Bloodthirsty Level 2
"Spirituality and sword intent have both increased by 1%, and the bloodthirsty level has also increased by 1 level. This..."
Killing a martial arts master would improve the properties of the sword in all aspects, which he did not expect.
Although it is not an exaggerated improvement, if we kill a few more martial arts masters...
Han Zhao's eyes lit up.
Although he would not deliberately kill in order to increase the power of the sword, no matter how steady and low-key he is, the higher he goes, the more likely he is to encounter inevitable battles.
They are all enemies anyway, so there is no big difference in how they die.
Instead of wasting it, it would be better to become the nourishment of the Karma Sword, and also be able to solve the cause and effect of the other party's initiative to provoke him.
"Fortunately, this gun should be quite valuable."
Han Zhao picked up Meng Jue's stainless steel spear, unscrewed it from the joint in the middle, divided it into two pieces, and then wrapped it in cloth.
"it's time to go!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps in the forest not far away, Han Zhao gathered his energy and blood towards his legs, performed the Wind Riding Kick, and left the scene.
...
"That's where the fighting broke out just now!"
"Have a look."
"Someone died."
Not long after Han Zhao left, four warriors wearing black attire and weapons rushed to the scene. All four of them were bone refining realm warriors.
"Damn it! You're too late, otherwise you might have missed something!" One of the rough-faced men sighed and spat on the ground.
"Is there something wrong with the body?!"
"Head over there, let's see if it's some unlucky guy we know."
"Let's see...hiss~!" Another young man with a sinister face picked up the head and suddenly took a breath of cold air. Then he looked at the rugged man and said in a trembling voice: "Big...brother , luckily we are late!”
"What do you mean?" The rugged man frowned.
The sinister young man turned his head around, revealing Meng Jue's old face with wide eyes.
"What the hell! Is this Meng Jue?!"
"who?!!"
"The head of the Meng family is a martial arts master!!"
The other two people hurriedly stepped forward.
"No! The only one who can kill a martial artist is a martial artist. The opponent might not be far away yet! Run!" The rough and arrogant man screamed and ran away.
"Brother, wait for us!"
The other three were so frightened that they really hated their parents for not giving them two more legs.
...
In less than half an hour, people from the Meng family and the county government rushed to the scene.
The Meng family came with four Blood Training Realm worshippers and Meng Jue’s relatives.
On the county government side came Wu Bi, the eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Feiyi, the chief arrester of the county government, and a group of government officials.
The Meng family disciples gathered around Meng Jue's body and cried loudly.
What they lost was not only a relative, but also the Meng family's Dinghai Shenzhen.
There are only two martial arts masters in the Meng family. The other one is Meng Jue's younger brother Meng Su. However, Meng Su had already gone to Fucheng to develop in his early years and settled down in Fucheng.
Even if Meng Su returned to Black Rock City to avenge Meng Jue out of brotherly love, they didn't even know who the murderer was.
Moreover, Meng Su is not much stronger than Meng Jue. Meng Su may not be able to deal with a strong person who can kill Meng Jue.
Once Meng Jue died and the martial arts master was no longer in charge, the Meng family's position as one of the five major families in Black Rock City could no longer be maintained.
The resources controlled by the Meng family will definitely be greatly reduced, which will inevitably mean intensified internal competition.
Some of the dandy boys among them could have used Meng Jue's reputation to dominate the Black Rock City area, but I'm afraid they won't be able to do so in the future.
"Based on the wounds, the one on the neck should be a sword wound, and the one on the heart should be a knife wound. However, it is still unclear about the situation of the shooter. It may be a martial artist who is good at swords, or it may be two martial artists working together with one sword and one sword. Take action.”
Wu Feiyi squatted beside Meng Jue's headless body and conducted a preliminary inspection based on his many years of work experience.
"It looks like the footprints are only those of Master Meng and one other person, but we don't rule out the possibility that the murderer faked the scene."
Wu Bi frowned slightly.
The murder of Meng Zhi in the inner city some time ago has not yet been found out. Now Meng Jue has been killed outside Jiulian Town. The troubles are one after another.
Wu Feiyi continued to examine Meng Jue's body and added: "Master Meng's body is a little shriveled. It seems that he used a trick that greatly consumed his energy and blood before he died."
A Black Rock City, plus nearby affiliated villages, earth forts, and cottages, has a population of at least two to three hundred thousand people, and only twenty or thirty martial artists on the surface.
Even if the secret ones are included, it will only be doubled at most. This includes the martial arts masters who went to Fucheng to develop.
As far as he knew, there were not many people who could kill Meng Jue.
At this time, the county magistrate Wu Di came after hearing the news, and everyone in the Meng family quickly surrounded him.
"The county magistrate is here!"
"Magistrate Wu, you have to make the decision for our Meng family!"
Wu Di glanced at Meng Jue's shriveled body, his pupils shrank, and then he said in a deep voice: "The county magistrate will naturally find out about this matter, so you should disperse first!"
Although there were still some people who were unwilling to leave just now, facing Wu Di who had mastered his training, everyone in the Meng family could only go back and wait for news.
"Take the body back to the county office."
"yes!"
Under Wu Di's instructions, the government officials lifted Meng Jue's body on a stretcher.
"Why is it so light?"
The two government officials carrying the stretcher exerted their strength at the same time, but suddenly discovered that although Meng Jue was tall and looked heavy, his body was lighter than expected.
"Light?" Wu Feiyi was stunned when he heard this, and was about to step forward to check.
Wu Bi caught a glimpse of Wu Di's gaze and immediately ordered: "Take the body to the county government first!"
"Yes!" The two government officials set off immediately.
The onlookers who came nearby after hearing the news were all pointing and pointing. As the strongest person in Black Rock City, Wu Di was naturally recognized by the sharp-eyed people.
...
Returning to the county government, Wu Diping retreated, leaving only Wu Bi.
Wu Di held an autopsy knife and cut open Meng Jue's chest himself.
"This is..." Looking at Meng Jue's shriveled internal organs, Wu Bi's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Only the 'Blood Spirit Strategy' of the Immortality Cult can achieve this level. And..." Wu Di's face was as dark as water, pointing to Meng Jue's head, "Look at Meng Jue's expression."
"Expression?!" Wu Bi was stunned for a moment, only to see that the shock and unwillingness of Meng Jue before his death were still on his face, with a look of death.
It seems normal to show this expression before death, Wu Bi has seen it a lot.
"Some time ago, I discovered that the Meng family was secretly in contact with the Zhang family. After investigation, I found that they are also connected with the Immortality Cult." Wu Di said solemnly.
"The Immortality Cult? Didn't the leader of the Blood Spirit Hall promise us..." Wu Bi's expression changed and he finally came to his senses.
"Dad, you are saying that the people from the Blood Spirit Hall pretended to gain the trust of the Meng family, then deceived Meng Jue, killed him in a close-quarters sneak attack, and faked the appearance of a fierce battle."
"It's possible." Wu Di nodded, "The people of the Immortality Sect are not trustworthy in the first place. It was a helpless move to agree to cooperate with them."
"Dad, what should we do now?"
"Let's just wait and see what happens. The Meng family has no martial arts master, so don't worry about it."
"yes!"
****
Inner city.
Xu Jin's mansion.
"Bang!"
Xu Jin slammed a porcelain vase worth hundreds of taels to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
"Ah——! You old man! Why! I am the eldest son!" Xu Jin picked up the crumpled letter on the table and roared furiously.
"Second Young Master! Second Young Master! Ah!"
At this time, a little maid about sixteen or seventeen years old broke into the room. She was shocked when she saw the porcelain fragments on the floor and the ferocious-looking Xu Jin.
"Luzhu? What are you doing here?! Don't you know that your young lady will soon become the head of the family?" Xu Jin's eyes were red and he looked crazy.
"Second Young Master, what are you talking about?" Luzhu was stunned.
"See for yourself!" Xu Jin grabbed the crumpled letter and threw it towards Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu took the letter, opened it, and looked surprised: "The master is coming back? Does he already know about Miss Third's breakthrough?"
"How is it? Are you happy?"
Xu Jin said coldly.
Hearing this, Lu Zhu's eyes flashed with fierceness. She stepped forward and hugged Xu Jin's arm, saying coquettishly: "Second Young Master, what are you talking about? I have the same heart as you."
"Are you with me? You are doing this just to be my equal wife!" Xu Jin sneered.
"Doesn't that mean that you and I are of the same mind as the second young master?" Luzhu said with a smile.
"Based on my previous attitude towards Xu Ling, do you think it will make things easier for me if she becomes the head of the family?"
"In this case, let the third lady not be the head of the family."
"What's the meaning?"
"Second Young Master, I came here to tell you that the news just came that the head of the Meng family, Master Meng Jue, was killed outside Jiulian Town."
"What? Meng Jue is dead?!" Xu Jin was shocked.
"Second Young Master, this is not the point." Luzhu said with a smile: "The murderer has not yet been found out. Since the other party can even kill martial artists, if two blood training realm warriors were killed because of an 'accident', It seems normal."
"Why two?" Xu Jin was stunned.
"Miss Third's lover is a talented warrior who broke through the blood training realm at the age of twenty. If he becomes suspicious, he will always be in trouble, so..." Luzhu explained.
"You are so poisonous!" Xu Jin smiled and pinched Lv Zhu's nose hard, "But I like it!"
"Oh~ Second Young Master." Luzhu squeezed Xu Jin's arms.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. When that boy Han Zhao goes to find Xu Ling, poison them both to death. Don't worry about the rest. I will deal with the aftermath. When I become the head of the family, I will marry you! "Xu Jin's eyes showed a fierce look. Even God was helping him, so he had no choice but to strike first.
"Thank you, Second Young Master!"
"Hahahahaha!"
