081 The killing intent arises
"Slaying eight thousand evil spirits, staining the Kunze Marsh red in a single day."
Ning Kui twirled his Crimson Scale Blade, then sheathed it.
The sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard is crisp and pleasant, with a unique metallic texture.
In the endless waters above, below, left, and right of him, there were the severed limbs of water beasts and evil spirits everywhere.
They hovered around Ning Kui, completely swallowed by the black threads of the divine statue's birthmark.
"Mission accomplished! The Blood Spirit Life Transfer Gourd and the Divine Path Platform are both mine..."
Ning Kui turned around and smiled slightly at Lin Zhou and Bai Yingying, who were trembling in the distance.
Bai Yingying was alright; she could still maintain the professional demeanor of a "green tea" (a manipulative woman) and return Ning Kui a smile.
Lin Zhou trembled even more violently. How could this person laugh?
Ning Kui wielded his knife all night without stopping for a single breath, and now he still has the mind to laugh. How cold-hearted he must be.
"I'm going to the bottom of Longyuan to get some things, and then we'll go back to Yugu County."
Ning Kui returned to the bottom of Dragon Abyss. The Blood Spirit Life-Turning Gourd had long been hanging on his side waist and had now recognized him as its master.
He came to subdue Shintodai.
As the Yin energy points dissipated, a mysterious connection was established between the Divine Path Platform and Ning Kui.
With a thought, the altar shrunk to the size of an inkstone and easily stored in the Seven Star Bag.
On the stone tablet, the remaining Yin energy points plummeted rapidly.
Only 1500 points left.
Kunze Lake today is different from what it used to be.
The lake water that splashes against the shore has a translucent, crystalline red color, like a pomegranate fruit, attracting countless fishermen to watch early in the morning.
Some say it's an ominous sign, while others say it's an unusual phenomenon caused by last night's thunder and lightning.
Cao Asheng crossed his arms and stood on the wooden stakes used to moor the boat, looking hesitant.
He was at a crucial juncture in his breakthrough to the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement, and the nourishment from the precious fish was extremely important to him.
A few days ago, fishermen said that a great demon had appeared, and today Kunze Lake has undergone strange changes.
It looks like it will be difficult to catch the treasure fish for several more days.
Thinking of Xia Chan's rapid progress in martial arts, and how he had always been at a disadvantage in his sparring matches with her these past few days.
He felt a strong sense of urgency.
Suddenly, he saw ripples spreading across the center of the lake, and three figures emerged from them.
Right in the center was Ning Kui.
In an instant, all of Cao Asheng's worries vanished.
"The commotion last night was most likely caused by Brother Ning."
Those evil spirits will surely be wiped out. As long as I'm careful and don't provoke the Dragon King, this trip will definitely be safe.
He never imagined that Ning Kui would kill even the Dragon King in this battle.
Feeling emboldened, Cao Asheng plunged into the lake with a "plop".
Ning Kui dismissed Bai Yingying and Lin Zhou, and then returned to the Martial Alliance without stopping.
As soon as I entered, I saw Lin Zhou with his face wrapped in gauze, rushing over in a hurry.
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
Ning Kui frowned slightly and asked, "What happened to that scar on your face?"
Who in Yugu County doesn't know that Lin Zhou is his second disciple? To slap him in the face is no different from slapping oneself.
"Master, don't worry about the scar for now. My eldest sister sent word that you need to go to the county government as soon as you return. She says there's a very important matter that needs your attention and justice!"
"The county government office?"
Ning Kui was taken aback at first, then his expression changed drastically. The only person who could make Xia Chan so anxious was his mistress.
He turned around abruptly and saw Yan Daoren blocking the entrance of the Martial Alliance with a sword at his side, his expression complicated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Well... Wanyu is alright, I took care of her last night."
"You made a move? The other party is dead?"
Yan Daoren paused for a moment, then turned his head and said, "As soon as I heard you were back, I came to find you immediately, just in case you made a big fuss."
The other party was no ordinary person; he came from the residence of the current prime minister.
They're not someone we can afford to mess with.
Upon hearing this, Ning Kui's eyes instantly turned cold.
You can't afford to mess with the other party, so you come to mess with me, Ning Kui?!
"Lord Yan, I thank you for your help last night. I don't want to fight you, so please step aside."
Yan Daoren was about to say something more when he saw Ning Kui already place his hand on the hilt of his sword at his back: "Lord Yan, this is my last warning."
"you!"
Martial artists are all proud and short-tempered, and after being repeatedly challenged by Ning Kui, Yan Daoren's anger also flared up.
He meant well!
"You ignorant brat! Do you know that the person behind this can wipe out your entire family with just a word!"
"Is that so? He has a prime minister behind him, but I don't?"
If Prime Minister Wang is so weak and incompetent, unable to even protect his capable lieutenants, he should just pack his bags and go back to Yujing City to retire. What's the point of this ridiculous law?
Master Yan laughed in exasperation: "What kind of capable henchman am I?"
Ning Kui didn't hold back, pointing directly to his own nose: "I'm talking about myself. Last night, I killed the Dragon King! Next up is the Ghost Mother!"
Yugu County will soon become a model for the rest of Jing'an Prefecture!
After saying this, he pushed aside the completely stunned Taoist Yan and rushed towards the county government office.
Yan Daoren stared blankly at Ning Kui's retreating figure.
Killing the Pig God might have been a fluke, but killing the Dragon King afterwards could not be explained away by mere luck.
"This kid, does he really have the strength to overthrow the Elephant Realm?"
Holy crap, is the reform in Yugu County about to succeed?!
At that moment, the choice that had been agonizing for him suddenly had an answer: "Hey kid, wait a minute, I know that bastard, I'll point him out to you!"
When Ning Kui arrived at the backyard of the county government office, Xia Chan was still holding a knife, standing wearily at the door.
She was on edge all night, fearing the other party might turn around and launch a surprise attack.
Upon seeing Ning Kui, her dark circles instantly reddened: "Young Master!! You're finally back!"
Xia Chan dropped the knife with a clatter, ran and jumped into Ning Kui's arms, wailing, "Young Master, I thought I would never see you again!"
Yesterday, a wicked man tried to bully the lady. If it weren't for Lord Yan's help, I'm afraid...
"It's alright if Xiao Chan dies, but if Madam is bullied, Xiao Chan will never forgive herself even as a ghost!"
Ning Kui patted her little head soothingly, poured out a pill radiating the essence of life from his magic gourd, and gave it to her.
"You did well enough. If you hadn't risked your life to stop it, Lord Yan wouldn't have heard the commotion here."
When Zhao Wanyu heard that Ning Kui had returned, she also came out with Yun Mengling's help.
Despite the danger of last night, Yun Mengling did not abandon her mother and leave alone. Ning Kui nodded slightly to her: "Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Yun."
"Young Master Ning, you're too kind..."
Zhao Wanyu invited Ning Kui and Yan Daoren into the courtyard. She never expected that her secluded life, which involved only occasionally taking a walk in the front yard, would attract the attention of thieves.
"Brother Kui, I heard that guy has an unusual background. Lord Yan has already warned him, so I'm sure he won't cause any more trouble."
Let's put this matter aside for now; I don't want you to get into trouble.
As soon as she sat down, the young woman began to comfort Ning Kui.
Ning Kui waved his hand to stop his wife's persuasion. He had risked his life for Wang Xianggong and Li Qijue. If they couldn't even withstand this much pressure, he would just run away.
There are countless people in this world who are stronger than him.
There aren't many people who can run away as fast as he does.
