Chapter 28, Assassination!
On the way, He Chuan walked as he tried to find out more information about Zhang Muzhi.
If he didn’t investigate, he wouldn’t know, but once he did, he was shocked!
This Zhang Muzhi was much more detestable than he had imagined!
During his tenure as a county magistrate, there were countless cases of injustice, falsehood, and wrongdoings, but as the parents and officials of the common people, he actually dared to do such a thing as abducting women!
Whenever he saw a beautiful girl, he would use his status to forcefully marry her!
It was said that after he became the county head magistrate, every two days, there would be another concubine in his backyard.
And this was already his eighteenth concubine!
Everyone was furious at this kind of behavior, but they didn’t dare to speak out.
This was because this Zhang Muzhi not only had an official status, but he was also a late-stage third-rate martial artist!
Although martial artists were divided into three steps, with first-rate being the strongest, it was as rare as a phoenix feather.
And third-rate being the weakest and were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.
However, in this remote mountain county, third-rate martial artists were rare. They were already the highest strength in martial arts.
Moreover, he was a late-stage martial artist!
An outstanding third-rate martial artist!
So much so that if anyone dared to say anything bad about Zhang Muzhi, he would be able to rely on his martial arts skills to kill those who talked about him on the spot!
There was nothing they could do.
Faced with such a strong deterrence, the girls that he had taken a fancy to could only accept their fate.
To avoid implicating the family, they agreed with him with tears in their eyes.
“Just right, I can use this opportunity to teach this bastard a lesson.”
He Chuan had obtained the best assassination plan through the Deduction System.
It was on the night of his wedding when he was most unprepared!
Zhang Muzhi’s evil deeds were uncountable. Killing him could be considered a merit.
He Chuan’s gaze turned cold. He hid in the darkness and hid on a certain rooftop. He silently watched the brightly lit county head magistrate estate not far away, looking for an opportunity to strike.
At this moment, Zhang Muzhi was immersed in the lively atmosphere of the banquet, drinking and chatting with the guests.
He was completely unaware of his arrival.
He looked at the scene.
Those who could come here to congratulate him were basically the same as Zhang Muzhi.
They were either local profiteers or notorious officials of Lin County.
All in all, none of them were good.
They were all people who had obtained their current status by squeezing the fruits of other people’s hard work, even their lives.
They used their power to do whatever they wanted!
Ordinary people would definitely avoid them.
Therefore, almost two streets outside the county head magistrate estate were uninhabited.
Or rather, those who lived there were all Zhang Muzhi’s trusted aides.
Now, they had all come to the mansion to congratulate him.
Just right!
Deliberately showing strength as a warning!
He Chuan didn’t wait for Zhang Muzhi to return to the bridal chamber before reappearing.
Right at this time, he used his inner qi to wrap around two sharp daggers and fiercely swing them out.
The sound of the air being torn apart was perfectly covered by the noisy conversations of the banquet.
However, Zhang Muzhi was a real late-stage third-rate martial artist after all.
The sense of danger hidden in his subconscious was still present.
Even though he was a little drunk, he could still sense He Chuan’s attack very keenly.
He jerked his body and rolled to the ground.
“Clang!”
The dagger left a long trail and sank deep into the ground.
Zhang Muzhi found it hard to believe when he saw it.
Was this a second-rate internal cultivator assassin?
He was scared. He stood up and looked around the courtyard, “You have a strong inner qi, so you must be a strong martial artist. Why did you hide your head and tail?”
More daggers responded to him.
The guests couldn’t sit still.
Most of them weren’t martial artists, so their strength was very limited.
In this kind of battle, they would only become cannon fodder.
The slightest carelessness would result in instant death.
So much so that a few seconds after the battle started, over a hundred people hurriedly fled, and the entire courtyard became a mess.
Such a chaotic scene made Zhang Muzhi frown even more when he saw it. Wouldn’t this make it easier for the assassin to move?
At this moment when he was distracted.
As expected, a blade ray wrapped with a powerful aura appeared from behind at this time!
Zhang Muzhi had never expected that.
His opponent’s timing was so experienced!
It was as if he knew when his attention would be distracted!
It was also because of his carelessness that the tip of the blade swept across him. Zhang Muzhi could only turn his body to the side at this critical moment to avoid being cut in half.
The price was to lose his entire arm.
The intense pain assaulted him, making his mind extremely clear.
Zhang Muzhi did not cry out in pain. Facing such an opponent who was stronger than him, he definitely could not panic.
The more dangerous it was, the more he had to maintain his composure!
Turning his gaze, a few people had already escaped from the courtyard and ran into the distance.
That was the direction of the city guards, garrisoned with well-equipped troops!
No matter how strong a martial artist was, they would eventually run out of strength. They definitely wouldn’t be able to contend against an army!
Perhaps, as long as they dragged it out for a period of time, they would be able to wait for their savior!
But right at this moment.
Several white lights flashed in the dark night, accurately hitting those who had escaped.
They felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies stiffening as they fell to the ground.
A young and tender voice filled with killing intent sounded.
“Those who leave the courtyard will be killed without mercy!”
Everyone could not help but tremble, and they immediately did not dare to run around.
No one doubted the authenticity of this sentence.
A martial artist possessed strength that far surpassed that of an ordinary person, and it was easy for them to do this.
No one would use their own lives to test the strength of an assassin.
Zhang Muzhi tore off a piece of clothing to wrap around his broken arm, and gritted his teeth as he asked, “Who exactly are you, sir? What enmity does this official have with you? Even if I die, let me understand why!”
“Official?”
A light laugh came from the darkness, “Do you still remember that you’re an official?”
As the sound of his voice faded.
A thin figure dressed in a black robe appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
He held a Buddhist monk knife that was full of holes. It was stained with blood and emitted an unpleasant smell.
Everyone could not help but imagine how many lives this person who looked like a dwarf had taken?
It was also at this moment.
He Chuan took off the cloak on his head, revealing his tender face.
He looked at Zhang Muzhi and asked calmly.
“Do you know who I am?”
