Chapter 128

Xu Wenbin chose Silver over life, Xiao Kai likewise, the two rushed at Shen Tianxing from left and right.

"Kid, hand over your life, prepare to die."

These two spoke in unison, showing their coordination is still extremely tacit; unfortunately Shen Tianxing merely curled the corner of his mouth slightly, then raised his hand and unleashed the Proud Dragon Has Regret strike.

A huge palm surrounded by a golden dragon tore through the air, striking Xiao Kai squarely, and the System Prompt sounded at the same time.

Congratulations, Host, for slaying Lecheng Prefect's Commander Xiao Kai, you gain Killing Value 100,000, item drop: two System Mall 30% discount cards, Martial Arts Experience +5%, one Rank-5 Red Gemstone, one Rank-5 Yellow Gemstone, and one Rank-5 Green Gemstone, Silver 500,000.

"Xiao Kai!"

Xu Wenbin cried out in surprise, yet he did not notice Shen Tianxing had already leapt up; with a single Flying Dragon in Heaven strike, it fell like a roaring giant dragon descending from the sky, piercing Xu Wenbin's body, causing his wide eyes to lose life and he died on the spot.

Congratulations, Host, for slaying Lecheng Prefect Xu Wenbin, you gain Killing Value 100,000, item drop: two Martial Arts Experience cards, Martial Arts Experience +5%, one Rank-5 Red Gemstone, one Rank-5 Yellow Gemstone, and one Rank-5 Green Gemstone, Silver 2,000,000.

Shen Tianxing felt a surge of refreshment; this Silver given is truly abundant.

Seeing Shen Tianxing once again steadily standing on the courtyard wall, smiling at him, Zhuang Juxian could not help but swallow his saliva; he was truly panicked.

"Your Excellency must at least be Eighth-Rank, I never imagined Shen Tianxing would hire someone like you, but one person is ultimately just one person; facing tens of thousands of troops, what ability do you have?"

As Zhuang Juxian's words fell, hundreds of Garrison Soldiers from the Prefect's mansion rushed out from all sides, all Elite Soldiers, encircling the courtyard inside and out, with another contingent blocking Zhuang Juxian ahead, and Zhuang Juyou appearing behind him as well.

"You ignore the path to heaven and throw yourself into hell's gate; today I will make sure you have no return, soldiers, kill!"

Zhuang Juyou issued the order, hundreds of soldiers rushed at Shen Tianxing to kill him; each soldier possessed Second-Rank strength, though they lacked lightness skill, yet scaling the wall and striking at Shen Tianxing posed no problem.

Shen Tianxing employed the Lightwave Microstep; a single Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms strike could take down over ten soldiers, while the System Prompt continually sounded, his Martial Arts Experience and Killing Value surging rapidly.

"Boring, there are really too few people; can't more come? At this rate, when will the killing ever end?"

Shen Tianxing was not joking; knowing the numbers were too few, using the Rulai Divine Palm was indeed somewhat wasteful, yet his remark left the Zhuang brothers fuming.

"Your arrogance is intolerable; this Commander has already summoned his troops, they will arrive shortly, and even if you possessed heavenly abilities, you would surely die."

Zhuang Juyou was fuming, yet his words were true; while mobilizing the Prefect's garrison, he had already sent orders to his elite forces, and once they arrived they would number several thousand, leaving Shen Tianxing no burial place.

"If that's the case, then let's first send off this rabble!"

Shen Tianxing proceeded unhurriedly; the Lightwave Microstep lifted him into midair, simultaneously he clasped his palms together, then thrust a single palm downward, letting out an embarrassingly loud roar.

"Rulai Divine Palm, first form: Buddha Light First Appears."

Upon hearing Shen Tianxing's roar, a huge palm suddenly descended from the heavens, golden light blazing, the special effects maxed out, simultaneously shocking everyone present.

Yesterday, with a booming blast, under the Rulai Divine Palm these hundreds were all slapped to the ground, dying instantly.

"How is this possible? An Eighth-Rank martial artist could never reach such an attack level, no matter how strong the technique learned, it cannot be done; what is going on? Could you be a Grandmaster?"

Zhuang Juxian was utterly shocked by Shen Tianxing's strike, even suspecting him of being a Grandmaster, but in reality there was not much difference, for Shen Tianxing, though he did not hold the Dragon-Slaying Blade, was still in an equipped state.

His current martial prowess is hardly different from that of a Ninth-Rank martial artist, and with the power of the Rulai Divine Palm, inflicting such damage and effect is perfectly normal.

"I say you would have been better off honestly spending Silver to buy your lives; now there's no chance, before death you brothers can leave your last words—if I happen to be in a good mood, I might even spare your families."

The Zhuang brothers felt utter humiliation, yet could do nothing; fortunately at this moment Taicheng's 5000 elite troops had already completely encircled the Prefect's mansion, with another 2000 elite troops having fought their way inside.

"Perfect timing, take another strike of my Rulai Divine Palm."

Shen Tianxing leapt up again, letting out the same loud roar.

"Buddha Light First Appears!"

The golden great palm came down, a violent explosion rang out, accompanied by the anguished cries of countless elite troops; however this was not over, Shen Tianxing thrust another palm forward.

The 2000 elite troops that had charged in all died beneath Shen Tianxing's two palms; fortunately Shen Tianxing possessed the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his Internal Force ample.

Although each Rulai Divine Palm consumes 1000 Internal Force, its effect is superb; as of now he can still use it nine times.

"It's over, he is definitely a Grandmaster; only a Grandmaster possesses such terrifying power, two palms wiping out 2000 elite troops—though it's said Grandmasters do not partake in any war, how could Shen Tianxing have summoned a Grandmaster?"

The Zhuang brothers felt immense fear; with a Grandmaster present, tens of thousands of troops are as nothing, any scheme before a Grandmaster is like passing clouds.

"Stop, Your Excellency; we two are willing to accept death."

Zhuang Juxian spoke, knowing that further fighting would be futile; it was not that he regretted his subordinates' deaths, but if their deaths could buy their lives, that would have value.

"We brothers are willing to hand over the Prefect's seal and military tally; we hope Your Excellency grants us a swift death, and also hopes you inform Shen Tianxing to spare our families and let them depart."

Shen Tianxing nodded.

"No problem, the wise who know the times are true heroes; your families can live, you may now depart."

Zhuang Juxian and his brother laid down the seal and tally, then closed their eyes and accepted death.

This time Shen Tianxing used the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms; a single "Flying Dragon in Heaven" strike sent the two to their demise, followed by the System Prompt sounding.
