Xu Ben fell just like that.
The frightened horse that was knocked over by his rod was still breathing. The horse owner was still at a loss as to what to do with it, but Xu Ben died even faster than the horse.
The pedestrians who ran away when they heard his name were also shocked. Such a notorious and terrifying person was actually killed in just two moves? Those rumors were probably fake, right?
Lu Ping and the others had already passed through the gate. The soldiers guarding the gate knew who they were. They knew that they were wanted criminals by the Empire, but they did not dare to say a word. When Lu Ping and the others swept their gazes over them, they even tried to avoid them, let alone go forward to obstruct them.
The commander of the north gate stood on top of the gate, watching silently as Lu Ping and the others passed through the north gate and went straight down the main road. He was also a cultivator who was working hard on connecting the second and third spirits. He knew better than the passersby how terrifying a person who could easily defeat Xu Ben was.
Stop them? How?
Even if all the guards at the north gate were called, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths. They would not even be able to buy time.
Under such circumstances, he allowed Lu Ping and the others to leave. He was not worried that the mayor would pursue the matter. The mayor of Zhiling, Draconis, was a humane person. He would not let his subordinates make such meaningless sacrifices.
But the relevant information still had to be reported quickly.
The commander of the north gate thought as he turned and quickly walked down the gate tower.
"Xu Ben is also dead?"
"Not just one strike? Two strikes? "
"And the one who did it was Lu Ping?"
Hearing the new information, the mayor, Draconis, who was leading a large group of reinforcements, had a face full of confusion.
If one expert fell, it could be said that he was careless and fell into some kind of trap. But if another expert fell, the trap would probably be a little deeper. The third and fourth experts might even fall into this trap one after another.
"Can we still contact them?" Draconis turned to ask Song Hua.
"I'll try." Song Hua knew that the "them" the castellan was referring to were the members of the Dragon Squad, but he wasn't sure if they would care about him. He used his special ability and tried to contact the other eight who participated in the pursuit. Sure enough, they basically treated him like air. Only at the end did one of them pay attention to him.
"Lord Song Hua, what are your orders?" The message sent by Ming Zhi Po immediately made Song Hua think of that chubby, charmingly naive image. There were a total of 29 people in the Dragon Squad, and he was the only one who was easy to get along with. But being easy to talk to didn't mean that he was a good person. Song Hua knew the ins and outs of this fatty, so every time he saw his harmless smile, he would feel a chill in his heart. At this time, when he heard his respectful and courteous message, he felt as if a poisonous snake had licked his ears.
"Castellan, Zhou Shanlong replied," Song Hua reported to Draconis.
"He …" Draconis frowned slightly. This person's background was so scary that even he, the castellan, had to be wary of him. Unlike many people who were forced to accept Draconis's protection, this person became a member of the Dragon Squad on his own initiative, and Draconis didn't want to, but it wasn't easy to reject him.
"Ask him who he's with, and explain the situation to them." Draconis didn't want to think about Zhou Shanlong for now, and discussed the matter at hand.
North City Gate.
Next to the fallen Xu Ben, the chubby Zhou Shanlong squatted down with difficulty to examine Xu Ben's injuries.
Because he had an amiable face, no one thought that he was very scary. The passersby who had retreated in fear earlier now surrounded him and discussed what they had just seen. Zhou Shilong did not need to ask around at all. He had already understood the entire process of Xu Ben's death from various angles, including every word said by the two parties during the process.
At the same time, he heard a message from Song Hua.
The attacker, Lu Ping, had killed Xu Ben with just two strikes. The information that Song Hua brought to him was not as clear as what Zhou Shanlong knew, but he still listened carefully, replying from time to time.
"The others? They're not with me. "After this last message, there was no more sound from Song Hua.
With both hands on his knees, Zhou Shanlong struggled to stand up.
"Died of talking too much, huh?" He suddenly asked. No one knew who he was asking, but his voice seemed to have a magical power. In the chattering crowd, everyone could clearly hear it, and everyone felt like he was asking them.
The crowd suddenly quieted down. The heated discussion a second ago seemed to have been suddenly cut off by something.
A passerby happened to meet Zhou Shanlong's eyes, and he couldn't help but answer Zhou Shanlong's question, "Ah … that's what the guy named Lin Mo said."
"Haha, he even remembered someone's name wrong. Damn it," Zhou Shanlong said.
"Right, I remember on the wanted poster, there's a guy named Morin," someone said.
"He didn't even remember his name correctly. Isn't that a little underestimating?"
"But that person didn't do anything!"
"That's not the point. The point is that it reflects his attitude."
"Speaking of which, I don't think he talked much …"
The discussion in the crowd began again, and in the blink of an eye, it was in full swing. Zhou Shanlong had already squeezed out of the crowd and passed through the North City Gate. He cupped his hand over his eyes and looked into the distance.
"He's going in this direction?" he asked.
There were two soldiers standing on either side of the city gate. They didn't pause at the sudden question, but they quickly answered, "Yes."
"Did he do anything special?" he asked again.
The four soldiers shook their heads.
"So, there's no need to think about chasing and intercepting him. He didn't even think about hiding," Zhou Shanlong said as he stepped onto the official road outside the city gate.
Compared to Gorge Peak City and Zhiling City, which had to cross a chain of mountains, the road to the north of Zhiling City was relatively flat and wide. There was an endless stream of people on the road. There were ordinary people, but also cultivators.
Zhou Shanlong walked leisurely along the road. After about two miles, a large crowd gathered in front of him on the official road.
"Excuse me, let me see, let me see." Zhou Shanlong squeezed his way through the crowd, his large body attracting disdainful looks. Only a few cultivators could sense that there was something unusual about this fat man, so they didn't dare to show any contempt.
Zhou Shanlong, who had squeezed through the crowd, saw two people on the ground.
He didn't show shock and immediately sent out a message to try to communicate with Song Hua.
"Report, another two have been sacrificed."
When Song Hua received Zhou Shanlong's serious report that seemed to come from the City Master Fu, he felt very annoyed. This didn't seem to be respect for the City Master Fu, but a kind of teasing.
But Song Hua still immediately sent the news to City Master Draconis. This news came faster than their spies.
Draconis was silent after hearing this and looked behind him.
They had already left the North City Gate. Behind Draconis was the most trusted and strongest troop of the Zhiling City Guard Army. There was also the second, third, and fourth troop.
This force was enough for a local battle, but it might not be of much use against top xiuzhe. Even if the strong could not kill the sea of people head on, they had methods to avoid battle and escape.
So the Qing Feng Empire had the Extreme Peak Hall, the Chang Feng Empire had the Central Academies, and the Black Army Empire had the Protector Empire.
These three organizations could be said to be the top of the three empires. They could rival the Four Great Academies, and could fight against the six strongest. If not for this, how could the three empires have the right to rule the continent?
The Dragon Squad that Draconis created was the regional version of this kind of organization. But now, four of the ten Dragon Squad experts were killed as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
When the strongest of the empire could not suppress the enemy, what would the end of the empire be?
Draconis didn't need to guess or assume this question.
When the continent was divided into three, the factions that were swallowed and destroyed by the three empires were the answer. Many of the strong at that time could destroy an entire country.
So now?
Could it be that Lu Ping was an opponent that he couldn't contend against?
Draconis was very surprised, very surprised.
He had sent out the Dragon Squad, and sent them with all their strength. It was a rare opponent that he took seriously, and this was mostly because of Chu Min. There were not many people who knew his old friend's glory better than him.
But up until now, the Chu Min that he valued had not acted. Lu Ping had killed the members of the Dragon Squad that he had spent so much effort to gather like chickens.
Was Chu Min that powerful? Draconis did not think so.
This Lu Ping might be the strong person that could step on him!
