He stretched out a trembling hand and touched his own face that had been struck.
To his surprise, he did not feel the flesh and blood of his cheek.
Instead, he touched his own teeth.
And the hard bone underneath.
This...
Taoist Priest Yuan’s heart was struck with terror. Could it be that half of his face had been smashed to pieces? He struggled to lift his head in horror and looked at Fan Wu, who was slowly walking towards him.
Having cultivated for over a hundred years, he had never seen such a bizarre situation, nor had he ever faced such a life-threatening danger.
He knew there might be some gap between himself and Fan Wu.
But he had not anticipated the gap to be so huge.
This man had simply slapped him with a casual hand, and he could not defend against it.
And what’s more!
What on earth was that Magic Artifact?
How could it inflict such devastating damage on someone like him?
He couldn’t understand.
"Damn it... could it be... that this old Daoist is...?" Despite how hard Taoist Priest Yuan struggled, he couldn’t get up. From that moment on, he knew he was seriously injured.
What a joke!
A mere slap.
And he was seriously wounded?
He could only watch helplessly as Fan Wu, an extremely burly man, walked up to him.
Looking down on him, Fan Wu said something that left Taoist Priest Yuan bewildered, "It seems that the Underworld Judge wasn’t wrong; this thing’s lethality does indeed increase greatly when used on great sinners and villains."
Not choosing to further use the City God’s Command, Fan Wu simply lifted his foot and brought it down onto Yuan Daoist’s head.
Bang!!!
Taoist Priest Yuan’s head, as large as a fight, exploded like a watermelon under Fan Wu’s foot.
The system notification for the kill popped up.
[You have successfully slain the "Evil Daoist Yuan"; congratulations, you have received Free Attribute Points: 0.05!]
Rounded up, that’s pretty much 0.1.
Tsk...
What a drag!
...
Time.
Passes.
Before long, it was the next morning. That night... Fan Wu did not continue his journey but returned to Hegou Village, found an inn to rest his feet, and stayed the night.
Concerning what happened on the mountain behind Hegou Village last night, the villagers and passing merchants had no clue.
They weren’t even aware that something had happened.
Maybe one day when someone goes up to the mountain and takes a look, they might even come across the body of Taoist Priest Yuan.
Of course... by then,
Who knows whether they’d find a decomposing corpse or just a skeleton.
Yun Jiuqing yawned broadly.
She was extremely fatigued.
No helping it.
Too many things happened last night; she even took a trip through the legendary Netherworld, making her unable to catch a wink of sleep at the inn in Hegou Village the entire night.
As for the missing daughter of the Wu family and the coachman from last night? After waking the coachman, Yun Jiuqing let him explain to the Wu family’s daughter what had occurred.
Then she didn’t bother with the two of them any longer.
They were both staying in this inn now, presumably still unconscious due to the great fright they had suffered the night before.
"Daoist Priest Fan, are we preparing to continue on our way?" After washing up casually, Yun Jiuqing stepped outside and saw Daoist Priest Fan and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
"Hmm." Fan Wu nodded slightly, which served as an answer to her question.
Yun Jiuqing scratched her head.
To tell the truth, she was very sleepy now, but since Daoist Priest Fan had said they should keep moving, she would endure the drowsiness and carry on!
"By the way, Daoist Priest Fan..." At that moment, leading the Green Ox by a tether, Yun Jiuqing spoke up, "His Highness the Prince of Nanjun seems to have gone quite a while without eating anything. Shouldn’t we put him down to eat and drink something?"
Fan Wu glanced at the Nanjun County Prince on the ox’s back and saw that the prince’s Life attribute hadn’t dropped by much.
He said, "With his cultivation, eating once every five days isn’t a big problem."
"Ah... oh!" Eating once every five days meant there was no need to put him down, right?
Yun Jiuqing understood instantly!
When she looked at the Commandery Prince, her expression was quite poignant. She hadn’t imagined that someone of his stature would fall to such a plight, how tragic indeed!
But there was nothing to be done.
It was the Commandery Prince’s own fault for letting strange forces bewitch him; now, there was no choice but to keep him bound atop Old Blue Ox.
At least she, Yun Jiuqing, even if somewhat weary from daily endeavors, could still eat, drink, and bathe.
This feeling of superiority.
Wasn’t it just welling up?
Sometime around noon, having set off from Hegou Village in the early morning, they had been on the road for a full three hours.
The road leading from Nanjun Prefecture Government to the Great Zhou Imperial City.
There were still many varied merchant caravans traveling it.
In these three hours, Yun Jiuqing and Fan Wu had encountered perhaps a dozen caravans. Each had about a dozen people, or even dozens of people; in three hours, the number of passersby they encountered was surely in the hundreds.
Only...
Yun Jiuqing felt that these merchants, upon seeing her and Daoist Priest Fan, scurried away like rats from a cat.
Were they really that terrifying?
Yun Jiuqing didn’t understand.
Logically, the events that occurred last night behind Hegou Village shouldn’t have spread, should they?
At that moment.
Yun Jiuqing heard the sound of a carriage rapidly approaching from behind, and when she looked back, she indeed saw a merchant caravan. This caravan seemed quite wealthy because she spotted hundreds of fully armed Escort Masters among them!
