479: Chapter 479 Murder

The voice came from behind them.

The woman also noticed this anomaly in an instant, a look of astonishment appearing in her eyes.

"Whew……"

The somewhat dim room became bright the instant the voice sounded, as sunlight shone in, bringing with it fresh air.

"Who is it?!"

The two men turned their heads instantly, only to see that the room door two meters behind them had been opened, and a figure stood in front of the door.

It was he who had spoken.

Because sunlight was shining from behind the figure that had suddenly appeared, the two could not see his face at all.

"Step……"

The figure walked slowly toward them. Cold sweat appeared on their foreheads, and they felt a tremendous pressure emerging; their legs were trembling as if they were carrying a great mountain.

They could not move.

At this moment, the three people in the room finally saw the person's face clearly.

"Lu…… Zheng……"

The two brothers' pupils dilated, staring fixedly at the person before them, their breathing rapid, their minds blank. How could it be Lu Zheng? How could that existence come here?

"General Lu Zheng, help me!"

The woman saw him too; her desperate eyes shone with astonishing radiance, as if she had seen a hope for life, and she screamed.

"Calling you beasts is an insult to the word beast."

Lu Zheng said, suppressing his anger. Everything happening in Jianghai City could not escape his Perception, and after realizing the situation here, he had rushed over to stop it.

Thus, the words the two had spoken earlier had all been heard by Lu Zheng, and he had already guessed what had happened last night; the bound husband and child in the other room were proof enough of this.

"You truly deserve to die!"

Lu Zheng said. This statement completely plunged the two into the abyss; cold sweat broke out all over their bodies, and they trembled uncontrollably, looking at Lu Zheng with trepidation.

"Town General, we will never dare again; please spare us."

"There will not be a next time. We only did this because of the cult invasion and seeing no hope."

"Town General, give us another chance."

The elder of the two brothers cried out, kneeling directly on the ground, begging for Lu Zheng's forgiveness. As for why he did not use the woman's life to threaten Lu Zheng, it was simply because he could not.

He believed that if he dared to make any other move, he wouldn't even know when he died.

The younger brother on the side also began to beg for mercy incessantly.

"Lord Town General, I report, I report."

"All of this was forced by him; I didn't want to do this voluntarily. He said if I didn't do it, he would kill me first."

"Lord Town General, please give me another chance; I will never dare again."

"Spare me this once."

The younger brother, acting on the principle of 'better a Fellow Daoist dies than I', begged Lu Zheng for mercy. The elder brother, upon hearing the younger brother's words, had his pupils widen sharply, looking at his younger brother with an incredulous gaze, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"Shut up."

Lu Zheng had no time to listen to their words; he merely raised his hand slightly and twisted both their necks.

The two corpses lay directly on the ground.

They were dead as could be.

Heavy codes for chaotic times; this saying is never wrong. Now that Baiyun City is recovering from devastation, if one were to still handle things strictly according to the law, it might perhaps lead to even greater trouble.

And the two, perhaps until their death, did not realize that General Lu Zheng would kill them so simply.

"Well deserved!"

"You deserve to die!"

Seeing the two die, the woman roared with satisfaction, filled with hatred and relief. Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes once more, and she hugged herself helplessly.

Crying……

Although the two were dead, her body had been defiled; she was no longer clean. Would her husband and child despise her? What was the point of her staying in this world?

A trace of despair appeared in the woman's eyes again.

Lu Zheng noticed this too, but for this matter, he had no way to help for the time being.

After finishing this, Lu Zheng waved his hand again.

Seeing this, the woman was frightened into closing her eyes, thinking Lu Zheng was about to attack her.

But nothing happened. She only felt something suddenly appear on her body. Opening her eyes, she saw that some clothing had suddenly appeared on her, covering her important parts.

She immediately realized that all of this was done by General Lu Zheng.

In the other room, there came the sound of stumbling footsteps, as well as the husband's shouts and the child's cries.

The husband and child ran anxiously into the room, and seeing the wife in the corner covered by clothes, they could no longer hold back, rushing forward to hug her.

"Wife, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not protecting you well."

"I'm sorry, wife."

"From tonight on, I will not let anyone bully you again."

"Mommy……"

"Mommy……"

"Does Mommy still hurt? I'll blow on it for you."

The child was too young and had no idea what had happened last night; he only thought those two bad men had hit his mommy, just like when he did something wrong and his dad hit him, causing him to cry and scream in pain.

But at those times, if Mommy blew on his wound, it wouldn't hurt anymore.

The husband hugged the woman, and the woman also hugged her husband and child tightly.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zheng sighed slightly in his heart; he had still arrived too late, otherwise, this kind of thing could have been completely avoided.

"I'm sorry, I came too late."

"From tonight on, this kind of thing will not happen again."

Lu Zheng noted the location of this place, then slowly left. Pushing open the door, a hole in the shape of a figure appeared on the wall in the corridor; Lu Zheng had crashed through the wall directly at that time.

And this place was a ten-story building.

He left immediately, and accompanying Lu Zheng as he left were the two whose necks had been twisted.

Outside the floor, several more corpses were floating.

These corpses were all people who had committed crimes; for the serious cases, Lu Zheng had directly dealt with them, and he kept the corpses to let everyone in Baiyun City see.

This is the price for taking advantage of chaos to commit violence.

The reason these corpses could float, as well as his previous actions, was because of the power generated after his own Mental Energy reached a certain level.

Lu Zheng called it Telekinesis.

He felt more and more that Telekinesis was increasingly useful; he didn't need to use his hands at all—it was simply like having invisible hands of his own, which was very easy.

Adding the corpses of these two people, the number of corpses floating beside Lu Zheng had reached double digits.

They all followed Lu Zheng as he headed toward the City Lord's Mansion.

"Those who commit crimes, like these eleven."

"Reporting has merit."

"Voluntarily turning oneself in will be dealt with leniently."

"Do not make a mistake."

Lu Zheng's voice spread throughout the entire Jianghai City once again.

Below, the crowd who saw this scene immediately gasped.

Looks of horror appeared in their eyes.

Some people who originally had strange ideas and little schemes in their hearts now slowly dismissed their thoughts, behaving honestly.
