"Run away! Back away! This man has magic!" A soldier shouted and hurriedly retreated. Suddenly, the scene was chaotic. Many people were trampled under their feet. Others didn't care and just ran away without their lives.
Soon, the main house began to be filled with fire, fireballs and thunder and lightning. It would be strange if it didn't burn.
Many soldiers retreated to the inner courtyard, watching all this with shock and anger. Meng Xing also walked out of the house slowly, frightening many soldiers to take a step back.
The commander shouted from behind many soldiers: "Go! Kill him! If anyone dares to retreat, I will kill him!"
Then there were two screams of "Ah! Ah", and two soldiers who retreated had been killed by this man.
Many soldiers were nervous, with crazy looks in their eyes, and shouted: "Kill! Kill this thief!"
One by one, they rushed forward bravely and charged towards Meng Xing. Their blood surged to the sky, forming a powerful momentum that was astonishing.
Although Meng Xing could kill them, it would still take a lot of effort. Moreover, these soldiers were ordered by others and could not help themselves, so killing them would be useless.
Meng Xing was too lazy to kill more people, so he crushed the teleportation talisman and appeared in front of the commander in an instant. He slashed at him with his sword. With a bang, the leader flew out and landed on the ground, already dead.
Then, he ran towards the courtyard outside and quickly jumped out of the prefect's mansion.
Many soldiers watched Meng Xing leave, but did not dare to pursue him. The commander was killed in one blow, which shocked them again.
"Hurry! Go after me! If Lord Captain is held accountable, we won't have anything to gain!" Another commander shouted. His rank was slightly lower than that of the one who died just now, so he didn't jump out to take command just now.
Many soldiers poured out of the prefect's mansion and began to search the streets, alarming many residents. Suddenly, every street started to have chickens and dogs dancing, and torches were as bright as day.
At this time, Meng Xing had brought Zhou Jingyun and Xu Linfeng back to the inn safe and sound.
"Boss, have you found out where the prefect is?" Zhou Jingyun said.
"No. The prefect should have been hidden by them." Meng Xing said.
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's take it one step at a time." Meng Xing said.
"Ah! Ah!" At this time, screams came from outside.
Meng Xing and the other three jumped to a rooftop and looked outside. They saw many soldiers searching residents from house to house and beating some people.
"Anyone who hides a suspect will be shot without mercy!"
"Anyone who refuses to be searched will be shot to death!"
"Anyone who contradicts or curses will be killed without mercy!"
A soldier was shouting loudly, his voice cold.
"Ah!" A scream sounded, which was extremely clear in the night sky.
A soldier raised a knife and beheaded a common man who was cursing. No one could bear it when he was called out in the middle of the night. The common man couldn't hold it back and cursed a few times and was killed.
"Your Majesty the Commander-in-Chief has an order to search the whole city to catch the suspects! Anyone who harbors the suspects will be killed without mercy!"
…
Zhou Jingyun frowned and said, "If we are here, all the store clerks may be implicated."
"You guys wait here, I'll go outside to distract them and lead them outside the city," Meng Xing said.
"Okay!" Zhou Jingyun nodded. This is a good strategy. It can not only prevent the store clerk from being implicated, but also reduce the harm caused to the people by the city-wide search.
Meng Xing walked out of a remote place and went directly to another street, where he saw a group of people coming towards him.
"Who are you? You dare to wander the streets with a bunch of people waiting for you?" shouted a leader.
Meng Xing took out a piece of talisman paper and ignited it. A bolt of lightning flashed and exploded on the head of the leader with a bang. He was stunned immediately. His body twitched, his hair stood up like a chicken coop, and his face was dark.
Ma black.
Some soldiers behind him were also implicated, their bodies were burned black, and they fell to the ground twitching.
"It's a thief! The thief is here!" Some soldiers reacted and shouted.
"Dong dong!" The gongs and drums sounded.
"The thief is here, come and catch him!"
Suddenly, the soldiers searching all around were alerted. They gave up the search one by one and rushed towards the street.
Meng Xing led these soldiers to run around the streets, sometimes going this way, sometimes going that way.
"Damn it! Get him!"
"Crush him into pieces!"
"This thief killed General Yi, everyone is going to kill him!"
Soon, the whole city was in alarm. Countless soldiers were holding torches and running through the streets, frantically chasing a young man in front of them.
From a distance, it looks like a fire dragon running around.
Many people also stood in front of their houses, and some of the brave ones followed the soldiers, wanting to see how they caught the thieves.
"Oh my God! What happened?"
"Why do you want to arrest that young man?"
"I heard they were thieves who went to the prefect's mansion to kill people, so I wanted to arrest them."
"Prefect's Mansion? Well done! In the past year, we common people have been miserable. It's all because of this bad official. He imposes excessive taxes, restricts our business, and robs our goods. We common people can't live any longer.
"
"None of these officials are good. Someone from the court should have come to deal with them long ago."
Many people were talking about it, and some angry people even started to curse.
"However, if so many officers and soldiers arrest a young man, it may be difficult for him to escape."
"That's right! It's hard for two fists to beat four hands. How can one person defeat these soldiers? Moreover, these officials are said to be martial arts masters. If those people come out, I'm afraid they will kill him!"
"Yes! Yes! It would be a pity if he were killed by them."
"Everyone, look, there are experts coming out to intercept that young man."
"It seems to be a fifth-grade master. What a tragedy, what a misfortune! This young man is going to die!" said a warrior with some cultivation.
"Really? That would be tragic! Alas! This world is so hopeless! I can't survive this day."
"A good young man is about to be killed by this god damn dog official!"
…
"boom!"
There was a roar and a flash of lightning, and the fifth-grade master immediately fell to the ground, his breath cut off.
I saw that the young man had already passed over the body of the fifth-grade master and continued to run forward, as if nothing had happened.
Many people were stunned immediately, especially the warriors with some cultivation levels.
Do you want it to be so fierce? The fifth-grade master was killed like this?
What method is this? This is a fourth-grade master. It is easy to kill a fifth-grade master?
"What kind of cultivation level does that young man have?" asked a warrior with only a ninth-level cultivation level.
"You are only at the seventh-level God Refining Realm, which is about the same as my strength." A casual cultivator said.
"Can you kill a fifth-grade master?"
"If I could kill, would I still be able to stay here? I would have become the military marshal of the imperial court, or established a small sect as the leader, and I would be free and easy."
"Oh my god! Someone actually managed to kill a fifth-level master with a seventh-level cultivation level."
"Have you heard about it recently? There is a young seventh-level master in the capital. He killed a group of barbarian fifth-level masters. The fourth-level masters also fought one against ten, killing five fourth-level masters."
"Our Great Qin has such a powerful man? This is simply unbelievable!" The man was shocked.
"Could it be this person?" Another person also asked dully.
"It's really possible. I remember that the name of this seventh-grade master seems to be Meng Xing."
Everyone's hearts were filled with turmoil.
…
A group of officers and soldiers who were chasing behind him were stunned when they saw Meng Xing kill a fifth-grade master. After a while, they came to their senses and continued the pursuit.
"Quick! Let's pursue together and be sure to kill this person!" an officer roared.
"Kill! Kill! Kill him!"
"The Captain said, if you kill this man, you will be rewarded with one thousand taels of gold!" Another officer said loudly.
"This person is a spy of the barbarians, and he came to Kuizhou to collect information."
"All masters, for the sake of our Great Qin, we must take action to eradicate the spies!"
