33: Chapter 33 You're not worthy to speak, and I'm too lazy to listen!

"Murder! The guards are being killed!"

"Hurry, run! A villain is murdering people in broad daylight at the South City Gate, and all the guards on duty have been killed!"

"Heads... Heads are flying!"

In the prefecture city, the commoners on the street saw the brutal scene at the city gate and fled in all directions out of terror.

"Hey! How dare a villain commit murder in the prefecture city of Hongyan Prefecture?"

Inside the prefecture city, two Martial Artists heard this and quickly rushed toward the South City Gate.

On their way rushing to the South City Gate, they bumped into two other groups of Martial Artists also charging toward the South City Gate.

The three groups of Martial Artists belonging to different martial arts school factions looked at each other and saw unusual emotions in each other's eyes.

"Damn! Someone is actually stealing the credit!"

"Damn it, these people from the Blue Sky Martial Arts School actually followed along too!"

"I thought only our martial arts school could seize the initiative, but I didn't expect these two martial arts schools to be this fast as well."

These three groups of people each harbored hidden agendas, and seeing people from other martial arts schools instantly made their hearts skip a beat.

After all... judging from the snatches of conversation heard just now, the villain who dared to kill people at the city gate was just a single person and a single demon.

What did this mean?

It meant that the heads they could snatch were just that one person and one demon!

Among these martial arts school Disciple, who wouldn't want to boost their own reputation by killing the villain who committed murder in broad daylight?

You must know that in this world, reputation meant money!

Furthermore, it was the kind of reputation that came from punishing evil and promoting good, and stopping villains from murdering in broad daylight.

If they were lucky, this reputation might even reach the ears of the official government, or even certain big figures within the prefecture.

Didn't they enter martial arts schools to learn martial arts and undergo Body Refining just so that one day they could be favored by big figures, taken under their wings, and no longer have to worry about making a living!

"Wang Duan, this villain dares to commit murder in broad daylight, so his strength must be extraordinary. Does your Water Flow Martial Arts School also want to get involved?"

"Hmph! What, your Blue Sky Martial Arts School may be powerful, but that power doesn't belong to you, Su Ming. Your strength is similar to mine, Su Ming, and since you dare to come, why wouldn't I?"

"Enough! Since no one is willing to back down, whoever can kill that person and that demon and claim the reward will rely on their own abilities then!"

Exchanging glances for a few moments and seeing that Disciple from other martial arts schools had no intention of retreating, these three groups ultimately stopped wasting words and prepared to compete based on their individual skills.

According to official government decrees, if these people from the martial arts schools could achieve the merit of protecting the prefecture city and guarding aristocratic families, they could use this merit to claim rewards at the prefecture yamen.

Now that a villain was committing murder in broad daylight, it definitely met the requirements of the decrees. As long as they could kill the villain with their own hands, at the very least they would be able to claim a substantial amount of silver from the prefecture yamen.

As for who the villain was or why he was committing murder in broad daylight... these martial arts school Disciple didn't care at all.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

Disciple from three different martial arts schools stepped up their pace, scrambling and sprinting toward the South City Gate.

Soon, they saw the villain who dared to commit crimes in the prefecture city.

With a youthful face, black hair, and black eyes, his entire body was stained with blood, just like someone who had been soaked in a pool of blood.

What was most astonishing was that this youth was holding a longsword shaped like a triangle, thick at the hilt, narrowing down the blade, and leaving only a sharp point at the tip.

It was truly bizarre beyond compare.

Behind the youth followed a wolf demon that was also stained with blood.

The wolf demon wore a flattering expression toward the youth. Just by taking one look, one could tell that the wolf demon was a follower, and the youth was the master.

"Hey! Were you the ones causing trouble in the prefecture city?"

The moment he noticed the youth, Su Ming, the leading Disciple of the Blue Sky Martial Arts School, didn't say a second word and shouted out on the spot, his voice like a booming bell:

"I am Su Ming, a Disciple of the Blue Sky Martial Arts School! I advise you to surrender immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for using the Blue Sky Blade Technique to strike you down here!"

A forced declaration!

This was Su Ming's forced declaration!

Regardless of who ended up slaying the villain before them, Su Ming was the first person to stand out and make a move against the villain anyway.

And what was even more cunning was that Su Ming not only exposed his own name, but also stated that he came from the Blue Sky Martial Arts School, and clarified the martial arts specialty of the Blue Sky Martial Arts School.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like putting up a widely spread advertisement for the Blue Sky Martial Arts School.

Causing the Disciple of the other two martial arts schools to curse inwardly—

They actually didn't think of advertising at the first moment, allowing this Su Ming to gain the upper hand with preemptive shouts!

Thinking of this, Wang Duan, whose head was relatively quick-witted, also immediately stood out.

"I am a Disciple of the Water Flow Martial Arts School—?!"

Wang Duan's subsequent words hadn't even finished when they abruptly stopped.

This was because while he was speaking, the villain in his field of vision had suddenly vanished!

When he reappeared, accompanied by a flash of cold light, the villain was holding a triangular longsword and standing in front of two Disciple of the Blue Sky Martial Arts School.

At the same time, a gush of scalding blood spewed forth, and two heads flew up into the air from their necks like two balloons!

*Squelch!*

Scalding and crimson blood splashed onto Wang Duan's face, and a few drops even shot into his eyes, casting a layer of bloody hue over his field of vision!

*Thud!*

The next second, the two heads rolled to the ground one after another.

On their faces, there still lingered the joy of having advertised for their own martial arts school.

As well as the anticipation of going to the prefecture yamen to collect rewards after slaying the villain.

Yet whether it was joy or anticipation, to the two of them who had lost their lives at this moment, it was all nothingness.

And for Wang Duan, who was still alive, the sound of his self-introduction still lingered in his throat.

As if someone was pinching his neck, he made a clicking sound of "clack, clack, clack", but couldn't utter a single word!

Wang Duan froze in place, his whole body turning cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his back completely soaked by the suddenly breaking cold sweat.

Even though it was the scorching summer heat, he couldn't help trembling from the cold and shock.

In front of him, Qin Muyuan raised his palm and gave a gentle push.

Those two headless corpses from the Blue Sky Martial Arts School could no longer maintain a standing posture and collapsed to the ground with a "thud" sound.

Just like the heads that had previously fallen to the ground.

Qin Muyuan turned his body around and gazed at the four martial arts school Disciple in front of him who had already been frightened out of their wits.

"A bunch of small fries, there's no need to introduce yourselves."

"You don't deserve to speak, and I can't be bothered to listen."

*Hum!*

Qin Muyuan flicked his wrist, and the pure nail emitted a crisp hum under the force.

"Only the strong need to introduce themselves."

"Remember this, my name is Qin Muyuan, hailing from—the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!"

*Slash!*

Another flash of cold light tore through the air!

Wang Duan, whose legs were trembling, hadn't even had time to catch this sword light when he suddenly felt a chill in his throat.

The next instant, he saw his own body from a frontal perspective.

"I... was killed just like that?!"

A look of shock and terror still lingered on Wang Duan's face.

However, he could do nothing; he could only watch the sword light flash as his head was severed from his body.

Then, with a "thud", he crashed down to the ground, staring face-to-face with his own feet.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone.

Along with Qin Muyuan striking out with another form of the Mad Killing Sword Technique, his Senior Brother beside him also went to lie down on the ground.

With an empty head, they set up camp on the ground together.
