Chapter 348: Primordial? Unbearable!

Li Rui's palm momentum didn't stagnate in the slightest, his figure was like a dragon, and his five fingers probed into the room like dragon claws.

Seeing with his peripheral vision.

Song Shi's subordinates were all lying in a pool of blood.

Already without movement.

And in the room, there were two more black-robed people.

The two were obviously shocked by Li Rui's thunderous hand just now and didn't react for a time, all standing blankly in place.

Li Rui wouldn't talk about fairness.

Bang, bang!

Two more sounds.

The water of the Qinghe River splashed again.

In just a split second.

Those two black-robed people became fish food for the Qinghe River.

At this time.

He had the opportunity to look at the situation in the house.

"What on earth happened?"

Almost without any thought, he was about to take out the signal arrow from his bosom.

No matter what the situation, since it was in Qinghe, there was no reason for single-handed fighting; he had to call Nie Siming and all those experts in the city over.

But just as he took out the signal arrow.

A bright flash passed before his eyes.

It was a blade!

Li Rui tapped his feet and moved half an inch towards the back, just dodging the slashing long blade.

He had dodged it.

But the room of Huacai Residence wasn't so lucky.

The wall behind him was actually split open by the blade qi.

Primordial martial artist!

Li Rui was shocked in his heart.

Only to see a black-robed sturdy man holding a huge blade, looking at himself covetously.

The sturdy man grinned, revealing a cruel smile:

"Count yourself unlucky; since you bumped into Grandpa's action, then you can only go die."

The sturdy man's Primordial power was fully displayed.

His whole body was emitting black qi, and a black tiger phantom appeared behind him.

It was exactly his qi-form.

Black Tiger Devours the Sky!

Li Rui's eyes condensed, and the Immortal Blade Zhan Jiao was unsheathed abruptly.

The overbearing sharpness of the Immortal Blade made the sturdy man opposite feel a stinging pain.

The sturdy man's pupils contracted violently, and he gasped: "Immortal Blade!"

He never expected that he would just bump into someone, and the one holding it was actually an Immortal Blade.

Li Rui turned sideways, bowed his stance, and Zhan Jiao slashed down.

The blade edge fell exactly in the middle of the sturdy man's big blade.

Clang!

A crisp sound.

The long blade was slashed and broken in response, the half-section of the blade tip spinning in the air, and with a thud, it pierced through the wall.

Which meant the resident next door was also dead.

Otherwise, it would definitely be screams one after another.

Li Rui's blade momentum didn't decrease, taking advantage of the trend to slash upwards, and at the same time, his right hand not holding the blade didn't stagnate in the slightest, raising his fist and smashing towards the sturdy man.

The sturdy man was scared into a cold sweat by Li Rui's violent offensive.

'How can this person be so fierce??'

He gasped.

With rich combat experience, he almost didn't hesitate and directly abandoned the half-section of the blade, the black tiger behind him roaring and pouncing towards Li Rui.

Green light appeared suddenly.

A double-winged big dragon flew out from Li Rui's chest, colliding with the black tiger.

The invisible shockwave shook the room until it collapsed completely.

Zhan Jiao hissed and let out bursts of dragon roars.

One blade.

The sturdy man's chest was torn apart by Zhan Jiao, large pieces of flesh and blood turned up, and the Immortal Xuan Qi mixed with Zhan Jiao's evil qi invaded the sturdy man's body, frantically plundering the sturdy man's vitality.

At the same time.

The black tiger retreated step by step under the offensive of the big dragon.

The Ying dragon phantom passed through the sturdy man's body directly.

Large mouthfuls of blood sprayed wildly.

At this time.

Li Rui's fist had also arrived at the face.

Bang!

A muffled sound, the sturdy man's head exploded like a watermelon, and red and white splashed all over the ground.

In no more than three breaths, he was already dead beyond death.

Unbearable in three strikes.

A Primordial martial artist was killed by Li Rui just like this.

Having killed the person.

Li Rui then had time to explore a question.

Who was this person?

Why did he want to kill Song Shi's subordinates?

Also, where did Song Shi go?

He didn't even need to look to be sure that Song Shi wasn't in Huacai Residence, otherwise, with this sturdy man's strength, it was impossible to kill Song Shi silently.

So he must have gone out, maybe even out of the city.

If out of the city.

Then it was highly likely for the sake of the Purple Chai Jingong matter.

By such a deduction, obviously, these people were highly likely to be people from the Purple Chai Jingong.

Li Rui quickly checked the rooms again.

Sure enough.

Song Shi wasn't in the room, and his subordinates were all dead.

Just as Li Rui was pondering.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from downstairs.

The first to appear was the shopkeeper of Huacai Residence, only to see him walking up the floor with the soldiers patrolling nearby.

Li Rui had made such a big movement just now.

It was impossible for the people of Huacai Residence not to hear it.

The leader of the commander saw that the person standing upstairs was Li Rui, and the originally fierce expression instantly became fawning.

"Li... Lord Li, why is it you?"

Li Rui looked at the commander indifferently:

"Trouble to send a message, tell Pacification Commander Nie."

A quarter of an hour later. Nie Siming appeared on Huacai Building with a team of soldiers.

Besides him.

Cao Wei also came.

Although the public security in the city was mainly the responsibility of the county government, it happened on the territory of the Anning Guard, which still made him lose face.

Cao Wei's face was very ugly:

"These are Lord Song's subordinates?!"

Seeing the corpses on the ground clearly, he was greatly shocked.

These days, he had also dealt with Song Shi, so he could recognize the identities of these people at a glance.

"Could it be..."

He slowly turned his head to look at Li Rui.

He wanted to ask if Song Shi was dead.

Li Rui quickly understood Cao Wei's meaning and said: "I came to deliver medicine on the order of Lord Song, and then encountered these villains. Fortunately, these people's martial arts were mediocre, otherwise it would definitely have caused big trouble."

(Content omitted)

He said this to Cao Wei, and even more to Nie Siming.

Martial arts mediocre...

Cao Wei's mouth twitched.

He knew that among the subordinates Song Shi brought this time, there were quite a few Sea-Observing martial artists.

Even he himself wasn't necessarily an opponent.

When he came, he knew there were three corpses in Qinghe, which were being salvaged, plus the one before his eyes.

Which meant.

Conservatively estimated, Li Rui also killed four Sea-Observing martial artists tonight.

This was truly remarkable.

Cao Wei knew Li Rui was powerful, but didn't expect the other party to have grown to such a terrifying height.

Nie Siming pondered and then said:

"Since Song Shi's corpse wasn't found, it proves there's still a possibility he's alive."

"Send people to find him."

"Additionally, call the coroner, must find out who did it."

In a few words, he ordered the matter down.

Li Rui and Cao Wei immediately took the order: "Yes!"

After ordering.

Nie Siming didn't say anything else, and didn't care at all about Li Rui appearing here and killing a bunch of experts.

But his face really couldn't be said to be good.

Besides being noble in background, Song Shi had another identity, which was the imperial court inspector.

This time, he represented the imperial court in coming to Qinghe.

If Song Shi really died in Qinghe.

Then the matter would be big.

He, this Pacification Commander, would definitely be punished for this; not only him, but all the officials in Qinghe, counting one by one, would all lose the possibility of promotion.

Such a situation had happened once seventy years ago.

Most of the officials in a prefecture were demoted.

Those who weren't demoted also wasted their lives one by one, finding it hard to advance in the officialdom.

So, Song Shi must not die.

The only good thing now was perhaps that Song Shi didn't die in Huacai Residence; not seeing a corpse meant there was still a possibility of being alive.

Nie Siming was what kind of person.

How could he not guess that this matter was eight out of ten related to the mysterious Purple Chai Jingong.

Couldn't help but curse:

"Truly a piece of trash!"

Another night of no peace.

One thousand soldiers of the Anning Guard.

Except for some civil officials, all the other camps were scattered out.

Only one goal.

That was to find the missing Song Shi.

Besides the Anning Guard, the county government and even the Trade Office were all dispatched.

Whether it was County Magistrate Jia Qi or Commissioner Yan Zhongxing, they truly didn't want to be implicated because of Song Shi's death.

They searched majestically for three days.

Anning Guard, General's Prefecture.

Nie Siming, Li Rui, and Cao Wei were all there, and besides them, Jia Qi and Yan Zhongxing also arrived.

The expressions of several people were ugly to the extreme.

Song Shi was found.

Only when found, he had already become a dry corpse, dead beyond death.

Nie Siming gritted his teeth, like an angry lion.

"Who on earth did it!"

Cao Wei stood out and bowed: "General Nie, the coroner has found out that the one who killed Lord Song should be Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu of the Ghost Ming Sect, and as for those killed by Lord Li in Huacai Residence, there are also signs of having practiced the Evil God Method."

"Ghost Ming Sect!"

Nie Siming was furious.

"In this way, this Purple Chai Jingong was connected with the Ghost Ming Sect at that time."

The others heard the four words "Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu" and changed color in unison.

Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu, that was an Earth Immortal powerhouse, his strength unfathomable.

Killing them wouldn't be too easy.

Nie Siming calmed down quickly.

He also understood that things had come to this, Song Shi was already dead, and saying anything else was useless.

What needed to be done now was how to make up for the mistake.

"Don't let Song Shi's matter be known for now."

"Yes."

Li Rui and the others all nodded in unison.

They naturally knew what would happen to them if the imperial court knew Song Shi was dead.

So hiding it was undoubtedly the most correct method.

Although it couldn't be hidden for long.

What they had to do was to figure out the matter and find a way to perform meritorious service before the imperial court discovered all of this.

The crowd dispersed.

Li Rui walked out of the General's Prefecture, lost in thought.

Only he knew that Song Shi had another identity, Secret Guard Ding Mountain Envoy.

Song Shi came to track down a Fallen Immortal.

Now Song Shi died inexplicably.

Could it be...

"Does the Purple Chai Jingong have a Fallen Immortal?"
