Chapter 58

"......"

The third brother didn't even have time to let out a scream.

His face, still carrying a lewd smile, was frozen just like that, along with that expression, neatly divided into left and right halves by the blade light.

His raised hand was still stiff in mid-air, maintaining the posture of opening the door, but his body had already turned into two pieces, slowly falling toward the left and right sides.

Inside the room, the expressions on the faces of the eldest and second brothers suddenly froze.

Fast!

It was too fast!

This sudden scene made the two of them unable to react.

Until—

Thump...

Two pieces of the corpse landed one after another, and blood sprayed out like a floodgate, instantly staining the threshold red and splashing onto the door frame.

The two finally came to their senses.

Their third brother was chopped to death by someone?!

"Third brother!!!"

Two roars exploded at the same time! The eldest and second brothers were splitting their eyes, carrying monstrous anger, and rushed toward the door at the same time.

However, there was no one at the door.

It was as if the person who chopped their third brother to death with one blade was a ghost.

"Where is the person?!"

"Who is it?! Get out here for me!!!"

The two looked at the empty doorway and looked at each other.

On the faces of the two, besides the monstrous anger, there was also a bone-chilling coldness.

The third brother was an expert at the late stage of Transformation of Force; even without defense, he shouldn't have been chopped to death by someone so easily with one blade.

Could it be... an expert at the Embracing the Pill Realm?!

Just at the moment when the two were shaking violently and their thoughts were chaotic.

A blade light suddenly lit up from the blind spot of their vision in the lower right corner.

What kind of blade light was that!

Exquisitely beautiful like a blood moon, sharp like cold frost, carrying a suffocating killing intent, straight for the eldest brother's neck.

"Ah!!!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the eldest brother erupted with all the potential of the Great Perfection of Transformation of Force.

He roared angrily, a flash of ruthlessness to perish together flashing on his face, his right fist gathering all his strength, like an iron hammer, smashing fiercely at that blade light.

However, that blood moon blade light was too fast and too tricky.

Just at the moment when the fist was about to touch the blade edge, that blood moon blade light lifted slightly upward, lightly avoiding his fist, and then—

Swish!

A tiny blood line appeared on his neck.

"You......"

At the last moment before death, the eldest brother finally saw clearly the person who made the move.

It was an old man in plain gray clothes, with gray hair and a cold face.

He really couldn't figure out when he had provoked such a ruthless and powerful enemy.

His thoughts came to an abrupt end.

His head rolled to the ground, and blood sprayed out from the broken neck, splashing onto the second brother.

"Eldest brother..."

Witnessing such a shocking scene, the anger on the face of the second brother beside him instantly faded, leaving only infinite fear.

He didn't have the slightest thought of avenging his eldest and third brothers, turned around and fled.

He ran faster and faster, lighter and lighter.

He even felt like he was flying.

Then, he felt the world start to spin.

He saw his headless body still running wildly forward, and after running a few steps, it collapsed to the ground with a bang.

"Could it be that I......"

He realized instantly that his head had been cut off from the air.

The next instant, his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

Bang.

A light sound.

His head landed on the ground, rolled twice, and stopped next to the eldest brother's head.

The two brothers finally lay together neatly.

Jiang Ye walked out of the shadows with a cold face.

Relying on the true meaning of the deer form to hide his aura and using sneak attacks to seize the initiative, killing three people in a row was already easy for him.

He was just about to squat down to loot the corpses of the three.

Not far away, footsteps suddenly came.

It was a young man wearing luxurious brocade robes, with a fair face, shaking a folding fan, and walking unsteadily; one look and he was a playboy who had indulged too much in wine and sex.

He was humming a little tune, swaying toward this side, clearly coming to find the "Three Wolves of Kanglin" for fun.

"Hmm?!"

He walked closer and suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.

He frowned and looked up.

The scene that entered his eyes was like hell.

Three corpses were lying on the ground, blood was still gurgling, and in the moonlight, those heads were opening their eyes that were dead but not closed, facing him.

"Ah——!!!"

A scream of extreme terror tore through the silence of the night.

"Really troublesome."

Jiang Ye shook his head coldly and slashed out a blade in the air.

Swish!

The scream came to an abrupt end.

The young man's head slid off his neck, falling to the ground with a "thud", his face still frozen with an expression of fear.

"Sigh..."

Jiang Ye, who wanted to loot the corpses, could only merge into the shadows silently.

The screams of the "Three Wolves of Kanglin" before they died and the screams of this kid just now were enough to wake up half of the Ding family.

Deep in the Ding mansion, the candles were bright, but the atmosphere was frozen like ice.

Several corpses were lying on the ground, having been initially pieced together, but still shocking.

Three men in official uniforms were squatting beside the corpses, checking carefully, their expressions one more solemn than the other.

They were from the prefecture city guard, summoned urgently tonight.

"What a ruthless blade technique! What a fast blade technique! What a poisonous blade technique!"

The leader stood up slowly and sighed three times.

He was Wei Cheng, the captain of the prefecture city guard, at the Great Perfection of Transformation of Force, accustomed to blood and gore, but at this moment, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Three corpses, the cuts were as smooth as a mirror, killed with one blade, and there were almost no traces of struggle.

That must be how fast a blade and how ruthless a person.

"My poor son!!!"

A plump, still-charming woman was sitting paralyzed beside the headless corpse of the noble young master.

Her hands were trembling as she wanted to hug, but she didn't dare to touch the bloody mess at the broken neck.

She cried heart-rendingly, her makeup had long since turned into a mess, and tears and snot were flowing:

"Mother promises you, no matter who killed you, Mother will definitely make him pay with his life!!! Definitely!!!"

Standing beside her was a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure, a round face, and a trace of sinister color between his brows.

This person was the head of the Ding family, Ding Shan.

He looked at his son's headless corpse and at the three retainers who were killed with one blade, and monstrous anger was surging in his chest.

But he suppressed it on his face, not showing too much.

He frowned tightly, his thoughts flying in his mind.

He had many enemies.

But he really couldn't understand who had the ability to kill the "Three Wolves of Kanglin" in a short time.

Unless it was an expert at the Embracing the Pill Realm.

However, he was cautious by nature and had never provoked people with such strength.

For a long time.

Wei Cheng finally finished checking, stood up slowly, and walked to Ding Shan's side.

His expression was solemn, and his voice was very low:

"Head of the Ding family, according to my preliminary judgment, there are no traces of True Qi erosion on these corpses; the person who made the move is not an expert at the Embracing the Pill Realm."

He paused, his gaze like a torch:

"It should be a blade expert at the peak of Transformation of Force! Think carefully, have you provoked such a figure."

Hearing this, Ding Shan shook his head with a tight frown:

"No, I, Ding Shan, have always been kind to others in my actions and have definitely never offended such an opponent."

The beautiful woman who was crying loudly beside her raised her head abruptly, her voice sharp:

"Head of the family, is it the Su family who hired someone to do the dirty work!!!"

"Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that our retainers just had a conflict with them today..."

"And something happened at night! It must be the Su family playing tricks!"

"Maybe it was that Liu Qingshi who made the move!"

"Quickly let the guard team arrest them!"

Hearing this, Ding Shan's gaze flickered slightly.

"Su family? Liu Qingshi?"

Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head to look at a guard team member beside him.

That team member was clearly prepared, leaned forward, and reported in a low voice:

"Captain, we have already checked just now; the Su family is a small family that just came from Anxi County some time ago."

"As for Liu Qingshi, he is a martial artist at the Great Perfection of Transformation of Force, and his personal strength is not bad."

"This morning, because of a dispute over business, Liu Qingshi had a fight with the 'Three Wolves of Kanglin' and was seriously injured."

He paused, his voice lowered a bit more:

"In addition, that Liu Qingshi has a good relationship with an elder of the Profound Water Peak of the Profound Heaven Sect, and his daughter has also entered the outer sect of the Profound Heaven Sect."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly after hearing this, already having a plan in his heart.

He looked up at the beautiful woman, his gaze slightly cold:

"Madam, you can't talk nonsense without evidence!"

That gaze was like solid cold ice, stinging the woman's heart.

She opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but was suppressed by that aura and couldn't speak, so she could only close her mouth hatefully.

Wei Cheng retracted his gaze, turned to Ding Shan, and bowed:

"Head of the Ding family, the night is too dark, and many traces are difficult to check."

"Tomorrow I will bring an expert who is proficient in this to investigate carefully again."

"Goodbye!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and several guard team members packed up their investigation tools and walked toward the door with him.

"Are you going to let the murderer live through tonight......"

The beautiful woman stood up unwillingly, her voice sharp, just as she opened her mouth.

Ding Shan stopped her with his eyes.

After the guard team disappeared outside the door, Ding Shan finally retracted his gaze slowly.

He looked at the several corpses covered with white cloth, and complex and difficult-to-understand light surged in his eyes.

Inside a side room.

"Head of the family, why didn't you let me speak just now, they..."

The beautiful woman was still full of pain, still immersed in the grief of losing her son.

"Can't count on the public men." He took a deep breath, his voice low and cold: "And, we have more important things to do now."

"Head of the family, what else is more important than revenge now!"

The beautiful woman screamed in despair.

Ding Shan ignored her screaming and called his confidant in a deep voice, "A-Liang, come in!"

Soon, a middle-aged man with a capable face and sharp eyes walked into the room quickly.

He bowed slightly, his tone respectful: "Old Master."

Ding Shan took a deep breath and opened his mouth with a gloomy face:

"A-Liang, now that the 'Three Wolves of Kanglin' are dead, our Ding family's martial power will have a vacancy for the time being."

"Some businesses, let them go for now; after I find a suitable Transformation of Force expert, I will take them back!"

"Also, it's not safe at home now; we will prepare to move immediately!"

"Before we figure out who made the move, we will hide for the time being!"

Speaking of this, he emphasized his voice: "The action must be hidden!"

"Yes, Old Master!"

A-Liang nodded heavily.

"Then hurry up and do it!"

Ding Shan waved his hand, and A-Liang got up to retreat.

"Wait!"

Ding Shan suddenly called A-Liang again.

He glanced at the beautiful woman who was crying incessantly, then glanced at the night outside the window, and said in a deep voice:

"Although I think the Su family shouldn't have the ability to hire such a powerful martial artist."

He paused, his voice becoming lower, as if squeezed out from between his teeth:

"However, it is indeed too coincidental."

"There was a conflict this morning, and something happened at night!"

"Better to kill the wrong ones than let one go!"

A cold and cruel coldness appeared on his face:

"A-Liang, it doesn't matter if you spend more money."

"Go and hire 'those people' to deal with Su Chen and Liu Qingshi and the others!"

A-Liang's heart shuddered, and his pupils shrank slightly.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded heavily: "Yes, Old Master, I will go do it immediately!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room quickly, his steps hurried and steady.

"Alright, stop crying, I've already sent someone to handle it!"

Ding Shan glared at the beautiful woman and said coldly:

"I want revenge more than you!"

"No matter who made the move, I will definitely make him die without a burial place!"

The beautiful woman's crying continued, but she leaned her body toward Ding Shan slowly.

Just at this time—

"Hmm?!"

Ding Shan's brows frowned abruptly, his gaze like electricity, shooting toward the door.

Outside the door, a familiar figure appeared at some point, standing there blankly.

It was A-Liang who had just gone out.

"A-Liang, you..."

An ominous premonition surged in Ding Shan's heart, and he was about to open his mouth to ask.

A-Liang didn't answer.

He just stood there blankly, looking at them with empty eyes.

Then, his head slid off his neck.

Bang.

A muffled sound.

That head landed on the ground, rolled twice, and stopped at the feet of Ding Shan and the beautiful woman without bias.

On A-Liang's face, the confusion and astonishment before death were still frozen, as if he didn't know how he died until he died.

Thump...

The headless body collapsed to the ground, and blood sprayed out from the broken neck, instantly staining the threshold red.

The pupils of Ding Shan and the beautiful woman shrank into needle points abruptly.

A bone-chilling coldness surged from the soles of their feet to their crowns, freezing them until their bodies were stiff, and their blood seemed to have frozen.

The beautiful woman who was crying loudly was so scared that even her crying stopped.

She opened her mouth wide, wanting to scream, but couldn't, and could only make a "ho-ho" sound, like a dying fish.

Ding Shan also froze in place, his legs as if filled with lead, unable to take a single step.

He stared wide-eyed, staring fixedly at the door.

A figure walked out slowly from the shadows behind A-Liang.

It was an old man in plain gray clothes with gray hair.

He was holding a curved blade in his hand, and blood was dripping from the tip of the blade drop by drop.

The moonlight shone in from outside the door, dragging a cold shadow behind him.

"You... are..."

A hoarse and trembling voice finally squeezed out of Ding Shan's throat.

He wanted to ask, wanted to ask who this person was, wanted to ask what kind of sacred person he had offended.

"Ah——!!!"

The beautiful woman finally came to her senses and let out a scream of extreme terror.

Swish!

Jiang Ye raised his hand and slashed out a blade from the air.

The voices of the two came to an abrupt end.

Bang! Bang!

Two light sounds.

The heads of the two also fell off their necks.

If you don't remove the roots when weeding, the spring breeze will blow them back to life.

Jiang Ye understood this truth.

When the people from the guard team returned and saw the three additional headless corpses on the ground, everyone went numb.

"Gulp..."

Don't know who swallowed the first mouthful of saliva.

"This person is too ruthless... is he specialized in cutting off heads..."

A young guard team member's legs went soft, and his voice was trembling.

Wei Cheng took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but found that his voice was also trembling a bit.

He tightened his grip on the hilt of the blade at his waist, his knuckles turning white, but the coldness surging from the bottom of his heart could not be suppressed no matter what.

He was an expert at the Great Perfection of Transformation of Force and had seen many bloody scenes.

But everything tonight still exceeded his imagination.

The first wave killed the Three Wolves of Kanglin and the young master of the Ding family, and that wasn't enough; he had to kill the second wave, chopping Ding Shan and his wife and confidant together.

Moreover, the second wave was a case of "darkness under the lamp".

What kind of ruthlessness is this!

What kind of madness!

"This is a madman... a true madman..."

He muttered to himself.

If it weren't for the official uniform he was wearing, he would have wanted to flee the Ding family.

Everyone was silent.

They looked at the headless corpses on the ground, and the same thought emerged in their minds simultaneously—

After tonight, I'm afraid there will be a bloody legend of a head-cutting demon in the prefecture city.
