Chapter 83: Cutting Grass and Breaking Roots (Seeking monthly tickets)

West City Wharf, inside a civilian house.

Deng Longshu was sitting opposite a middle-aged man carrying a long bow and arrow quiver by the window.

A jar of old wine, a plate of braised beef, a bowl of peanuts, a plate of pig ears, the drizzle outside the window, it looked quite comfortable.

After drinking a few bowls of wine, Gong Wei suddenly asked, "Brother Deng, is what you said true?"

"Old Gong, could I lie to you?"

Deng Longshu picked up a bowl of wine again, touched it slightly with Gong Wei, and drank it in one gulp. "This kid killed my nephew. I've been investigating for several days. This time they happened to return from the mountain harvest, and they have a great harvest, so I invited Brother Gong."

"According to the news, the current silver on this kid exceeds 3,000 taels, he has a piece of star equipment, and also has rewarded pills. The value should also exceed 1,000 taels."

"Killing him will definitely be a big fortune."

Gong Wei pursed his lips, wiping the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and said cautiously, "Brother Deng, it's not that I don't believe you! A kid at the Meal of Mist Fifth Layer, Brother Deng, you should be able to handle him easily, right? Do you still need my help to get a share?"

"The things on this kid, for one person, are a windfall; if two people share, it's not enough to look at."

Hearing this, Deng Longshu suddenly laughed. "Old Gong, you and I have known each other for over ten years, and I won't lie to you. This kid probably has a life-saving emblem. I can kill him, but there is uncertainty, so I want to ask Brother Gong to watch from a distance and help me plug this loophole, so as not to have accidents."

"Brother Deng is cautious."

"Be careful and you can sail for ten thousand years."

"Then what about this after the event..." Gong Wei was a bit embarrassed to say it directly.

"Old Gong, my name has already been hung on the Jinshan Dao Academy and the County Lieutenant's mansion. I can't mix in this Jinshan County City anymore. I'll take the name of the killer, and it has nothing to do with you."

"All the wealth on this kid, I only want one piece of star equipment, and everything else belongs to you, how about that?"

Hearing this, Gong Wei couldn't help but laugh loudly, taking the initiative to pick up the wine bowl. "Brother Deng is still straightforward!"

"Then when will we act?"

"Wait for news."

"Wait for news?"

"The Jinshan Dao Academy is off today, so that kid will most likely go home to visit his relatives. I've already sent someone to watch, and when there is news, we will set off."

"A rainy day is a good day to act. Everything will be washed away by the rain." Deng Longshu laughed.

"Indeed, a rainy day, a good day to kill. Come, drink!"

Both were at the Meal of Mist Seventh Layer, and this little wine didn't have much impact on them, so they drank freely.

A quarter of an hour later, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and Deng Longshu's gaze instantly condensed.

From beginning to end, Deng Longshu was very vigilant.

The knocking sound rang out, and Jiang Sheng's voice sounded outside the door. "Deng Ye, it's me, there is news!"

"Hmm, Jiang Sheng, come in quickly!" It was Jiang Sheng's voice. Deng Longshu was overjoyed and looked at Gong Wei. "The news is here."

The narrow courtyard door was pushed open. The first thing that entered his eyes was a flower, and when the person came in, Jiang Sheng suddenly landed silently, only to be thrown aside by Xu Jin.

"Deng Ye, I heard you are looking for me, Xu Jin?" Xu Jin threw the flower aside and revealed his true face. It was Xu Jin wearing the Star-Patrol Guard team leader uniform.

"Star-Patrol Guard?"

"It's you!"

Deng Longshu and Gong Wei looked at each other, horror rising in their eyes. Neither of them expected that they would be touched to their doorstep.

And the moment Xu Jin opened his mouth, Xu Jin had already moved.

The Flying Star Steps erupted beneath his feet, and in an instant, he rushed to the window. With a wave of his hand, one star arrow after another bombarded Deng Longshu.

"Kill him together!" Deng Longshu roared and retreated rapidly. While retreating, the blade light slashed repeatedly, shattering the star arrows that Xu Jin had bombarded him with.

Gong Wei's eyeballs moved a few times. The next instant, star light erupted beneath his feet, and without hesitation, he rushed into the sky, directly crashing through the roof. He wanted to escape!

Are you kidding!

The Star-Patrol Guard had killed his way to his doorstep, and he was still fighting hard? That wasn't having a hole in his brain, was it?

Seeing Gong Wei escape directly, Deng Longshu wanted to kill Gong Wei, this old thing, he was too cowardly.

However, Xu Jin's attack was unexpectedly fierce.

Star arrows one after another.

Clearly only at the Meal of Mist Fifth Layer, but the power of the star arrows he fired was about the same as the Meal of Mist Seventh Layer, making Deng Longshu deal with it very difficultly.

But before Deng Longshu could deal with the three star arrows Xu Jin had fired in an instant, Xu Jin's feet erupted with star light, and in an instant, he rushed in front of Deng Longshu. Before the long saber could slash, the star ring poured out like a flood.

In an instant, Deng Longshu was collided and fell to the ground.

Star light surged on the long saber, and with one slash, Deng Longshu, whose defense had been broken, vomited blood and retreated.

Deng Longshu retreated, and Xu Jin followed closely.

The moment he followed, star arrows fired one after another, four in a row.

*Bang bang bang bang! *

The star arrows exploded, and at the same time, Deng Longshu's screams rang out.

Four star arrows, two bombarded his abdomen, directly blasting a large hole in his lower abdomen, and the other two directly blasted Deng Longshu's legs off from the knees.

Seeing Deng Longshu heavily injured, Xu Jin's feet erupted with star light, and he instantly rushed into the sky from where Gong Wei had escaped.

He saw Gong Wei fleeing into the distance.

Xu Jin heavily injured Deng Longshu, taking no more than two or three seconds, and Gong Wei, at this moment, hadn't even run a hundred meters away.

In an instant, Xu Jin's feet erupted with star light, and the Wind-Chasing Boots flashed with star light.

With one leap of the Flying Fei Xing Bu, he covered a distance of over forty meters.

Gong Wei, who had just escaped a hundred meters, just looked back and was terrified.

Too fast.

This Star-Patrol Guard team leader at the Meal of Mist Fifth Layer was too fast; the Meal of Mist Seventh Layer wasn't even this fast. He couldn't run away at all.

Without hesitation, he turned around while rushing, took his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot!

*Whoosh! *

The arrow with star light bombarded Xu Jin. Seeing the arrow light coming, Xu Jin just erupted with star light beneath his feet, instantly made a turn, and rushed toward Gong Wei again.

Of course, even if it hit, Xu Jin wouldn't be afraid at all.

Not to mention having the Star Light Shield and Star Shield for protection, he was also wearing the Crocodile-Dragon Soft Armor inside.

This arrow couldn't hurt him.

But it could significantly slow down his speed.

So Xu Jin dodged.

By the time Gong Wei fired the second arrow, Xu Jin had already rushed to within ten meters of Gong Wei.

He threw a punch, star light exploded, directly colliding head-on and shattering the second arrow Gong Wei had fired in a hurry.

Star light erupted beneath his feet again, instantly launching a surprise attack at close range.

The bowstring slashed toward Xu Jin's back neck like a saber, but Xu Jin waved his hands repeatedly.

Every time he waved, a star arrow was fired.

The star arrows bombarded Gong Wei's chest first, blasting Gong Wei down to the ground and also making Gong Wei's large bow lose its threat.

While Gong Wei dealt with it in panic, he started greeting Deng Longshu's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. What kind of monster had he provoked!

If he had known this Xu Jin could instant-cast star techniques, let alone participate, he wouldn't even have shown his face!

Damn it, he was going to be killed by this pit!

Xu Jin seized this opportunity.

While chasing, his fingertips continued to flick.

Even though Gong Wei was experienced and wore two layers of inner armor, when the fifth star arrow bombarded him, Gong Wei vomited blood.

The sixth star arrow directly blasted a large hole in Gong Wei's chest, and the seventh star arrow directly blasted through.

The eighth star arrow was wasted...

The next instant, Gong Wei's heavy corpse fell to the ground, and Xu Jin also landed, picked up Gong Wei's heavy corpse, and the Flying Star Steps erupted. Three breaths later, he arrived at Deng Longshu's courtyard again.

In Deng Longshu's courtyard, Deng Longshu, whose legs were both broken, was crawling while trying hard to stop his bleeding, star light surging toward the wound on his abdomen, while crawling toward the backyard.

There was a ditch in the backyard, and dozens of meters away, it led directly to the Jinsha River!

Seeing Xu Jin return, all of Deng Longshu's movements stopped. There was no hope.

There was no way to live.

Deng Longshu just laughed miserably, staring at Xu Jin.

"Deng Ye, the people you found aren't very good." Xu Jin threw Gong Wei's corpse beside Deng Longshu and fired a star arrow, accurately bombarding Deng Longshu's middle star palace star pattern.

In an instant, Deng Longshu vomited blood again, and the star light around him dissipated.

"Confess your accomplices, and I'll give you a quick death!" Xu Jin asked, looking at Deng Longshu.

This was also the reason why Xu Jin didn't slay Deng Longshu immediately just now.

For such human scum, not only must he eliminate evil thoroughly, Xu Jin also wanted to find out the remnants as much as possible to eliminate potential dangers.

"Little bastard! I spit on you!"

Deng Longshu spat out a mouthful of dirty blood. "I only hate that I was greedy and didn't wipe out your whole family in advance!"

"Otherwise, it would have been enough for you to regret for a lifetime!"

Xu Jin's eyes turned sharp, and he instantly turned to look at Jiang Sheng, who was trembling in the corner of the courtyard.

This guy had his four limb joints dislocated by Xu Jin. Although he had gained freedom, he couldn't run even if he wanted to.

"Does he have any more accomplices?"

"I don't know, but I know the hiding places of several other remnants of the Tianhe Gang," Jiang Sheng said hurriedly.

"Deng Ye, you..."

*Slash slash slash slash! *

With four slashes in a row, Xu Jin directly slashed off Deng Longshu's four limbs, making Deng Longshu scream repeatedly. The rainwater mixed with muddy water soaked into the wounds, making Deng Longshu scream even more miserably.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's expression shifted. Star power surged into the Ming Ji Star Pattern in the lower star palace again, and in an instant, everything in all directions became a bit clearer.

People were coming.

And quite a few.

Most likely, they were city guards or Star-Patrol Guards on duty.

"It's cheaper for you. In your next life, be a good person!"

Raising his long saber, Xu Jin beheaded Deng Longshu!

Such a mortal enemy, it was better to slay him with his own hands. If he were left alive, even if he were locked in a big prison, heaven knows what kind of moths would be born!

Cut grass and break roots!

A minute later, Xu Jin found an oil-paper package from the arms of Gong Wei and Deng Longshu. Inside should be silver notes, and two bottles of Star-Supplementing Pills.

The long saber in Deng Longshu's hand was also a piece of First Tier star equipment, and the long bow of Gong Wei was actually also star equipment.

It could be considered a not-bad harvest.

Just after tidying up, he saw Lu Xianbing bring people rushing over. Seeing Xu Jin standing there intact, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't catch up!"

"Not late either."

"Brother Lu, this Jiang Sheng is a remnant of the Tianhe Gang. He also knows the whereabouts of many Tianhe Gang remnants, so I'll leave him to you. And these two corpses, you handle them too. They wanted to ambush and kill me, but I killed them!" Xu Jin said.

Lu Xianbing was overjoyed. "Remnants of the Tianhe Gang, that's quite a lot of merit. Brother Jin, let's go together!"

"You handle it, I want to go home to see my sister. I haven't seen her for a long time!" Xu Jin said.

"Alright, Brother Jin, rest assured, there will be no shortage of your share, after all, this trumpet was also caught by you!" Lu Xianbing said.

Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense, handed Jiang Sheng to Lu Xianbing, and left directly.

The time to go home was delayed, his clothes were dirty, and even stained with blood. He didn't know if his sister Jiang Er had returned yet.

Helpless, Xu Jin first returned to the Dao Academy, changed into clean clothes, bought another flower, and then went to the East City city tower to pick up his large bundle, holding the flower, and rushed to Xu Family Village in the rain.
