Just as Jiang Wang saw the young skeleton and became emotional, Jiang Wang's eyes lit up.
Swoosh!
The sharp sound of something breaking through the air suddenly rang out.
With a twist of his wrist, Jiang Wang managed to place his sword and scabbard vertically behind him, blocking the sharp object that was shooting towards him. The sound of metal clashing rang out.
Jiang Wang took the opportunity to turn around and draw his sword. Everything was done in one smooth motion, and he could already see that the incoming object was a pale white finger bone. Without any time to think, his body instinctively turned around again.
The skeleton of the little girl on the bed had already risen into the air. The skull opened its mouth and bit towards Jiang Wang!
Without any hesitation, Jiang Wang kicked the skeleton back to its original spot. Then, his sword spun a few times. In that instant, like a bolt of purple lightning swimming through the dark room, the little skeleton fell back onto the bed with all its joints severed, as if it had never moved at all.
"Kekekeke, little Daoist, you seem to be very angry that I killed this little girl. But you destroyed her final remnant with your own hands."
The voice was sharp and ear-piercing, drifting over from an unknown place.
This kind of camouflage that could conceal one's tracks was not simple. It meant that the enemy hiding in the dark had already set this up.
Jiang Wang had yet to establish his foundation and develop his five senses. For the time being, he was unable to break through this camouflage. But he was not flustered. According to the knowledge he had learned in the Dao College, he now had two deductions. First, the enemy's level was not too high. The reason was simple. If it really was a high-level expert, the enemy would not need to rely on camouflage at all. They could even kill him instantly.
The second deduction was that this camouflage was limited by the enemy's strength. The level of the camouflage would not be too high. Once the enemy attacked or was attacked, or even moved, the camouflage would be broken automatically. The only clue that could prove this was that the enemy's first attack had been by manipulating the skeleton, and not by himself.
"You were the one who killed her, and you were also the one who destroyed her skeleton. Unorthodox methods will not be able to shake my heart! "
Jiang Wang moved with his sword, and in a flash, he had already covered the entire small room. Sword light almost illuminated the entire room!
Eastern Purple Qi Sword, the first move of the Killing technique!
In the instant that the room was filled with light, all the sword beams gathered together again. Jiang Wang stretched out his hand as if to grab the sword beam and slashed it down!
The door, which had been closed at some point, suddenly burst open.
Zhang Linchuan stood outside the door with lightning flickering in his hand.
"Just now, the two corpses outside were manipulated and turned into zombies. I have already destroyed them. What's the situation on your end? "he asked.
"I was attacked too. I can't see through his camouflage. But my sword still hurt him! "Jiang Wang shook the long sword in his hand, and a drop of blood dripped from the tip of the sword.
Zhang Linchuan stretched out his hand and caught the drop of blood. The blood droplet floated in his palm. "With this, it won't be hard to track down the demon."
A trace of praise appeared on his face. "Junior Martial Brother Jiang, you've made a great contribution this time."
Jiang Wang looked around but couldn't find any other bloodstains. "Senior Martial Brother Zhang, the evil man might not have escaped."
Zhang Linchuan flipped his palm and put away the blood droplet. He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There's no trace of him."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the corpse aura that filled the entire courtyard instantly dissipated.
"Let's go." Zhang Linchuan put away the blood droplet. "There's no more useful clues here. Give this blood droplet to the Vice Principal. He's proficient in the Six Trigram Lines, so he'll definitely be able to find that evil man. "
The psychological impact of this trip on Jiang Wang was unprecedented. Although those bandits and robbers could be considered to have committed many evil deeds, they paled in comparison to these evil men who would kill their entire families at the slightest provocation and even desecrate and control their corpses after death.
He had seen the cruel and callous side of the cultivation world. Transcendent powers could also bring about Transcendent cruelty.
Jiang Wang wanted to turn around and look at the little girl's corpse, but he didn't dare to.
At this moment, Zhang Linchuan said again, "The people from the Arrest Department have already investigated once, but there's no progress. And as soon as we arrived, we were attacked by the evil man. There's something fishy about this. "
"Senior Martial Brother, you mean …"
"Hmph." Zhang Linchuan sneered.
After entering the inner sect, Jiang Wang only wanted to cultivate. He didn't want to be involved in the struggle between Dong A and Wei Quji. However, Zhang Linchuan pointed out this possibility.
Unfortunately, he still didn't have the right to refuse.
"Junior Martial Brother Jiang's sword technique is extraordinary. It's definitely not the shallow tricks collected in the Dao Academy." Zhang Linchuan sighed with emotion, seemingly unintentionally.
Jiang Wang replied, "For us Daoists, sword technique is a minor Dao. Senior Martial Brother's thunder technique is truly astonishing. "
At this moment, the two corpses in the hall and the courtyard had already disappeared. Only a layer of scorched ash remained. Jiang Wang could almost imagine that scene. The two corpses had just been manipulated and didn't even have time to move before they were destroyed by the thunder technique.
"Junior Martial Brother Jiang is too modest. In fact, our Daoist sword technique isn't inferior to others. Unfortunately, our Maplewood City's Dao Academy doesn't have this technique. In the entire Zhuang State, only the Dao Academy has it. "Zhang Linchuan sighed with emotion.
Daoists also had techniques that incorporated Dao into the sword. It was extremely swift and fierce, not inferior to ordinary sword cultivators. However, it wasn't mainstream after all. Maplewood City's Dao Academy didn't have enough experts to guide cultivation in this field.
At this moment, Jiang Wang wasn't in the mood to speak at all. However, he couldn't ignore Zhang Linchuan, so he casually complimented, "With Senior Martial Brother's talent, entering the Dao Academy is only a matter of time."
"That's right. It's only a matter of time." Zhang Linchuan suddenly sighed. He stood in the courtyard and gazed into the distance, in the direction of the Qichang Mountain Range. "However, sooner or later is a different matter. I often feel as if a knife is poking me from behind. Every moment is pressing. "
The anxiety and worry in the voice of this noble young master, who was both powerful and talented and liked cleanliness, was actually real.
Jiang Wang was speechless. How could he not want to become stronger faster? How could he not want to go to the place he should have gone long ago?
Every moment was of the essence.
"Beyond that mountain range is the State of Yong," Zhang Linchuan said. "If the demon escapes into the State of Yong, we won't be able to capture him."
Of course, Jiang Wang knew why he said this.
The State of Zhuang had been established for over three hundred years. Back then, the founding ancestor, Zhuang Chengqian, was a general of the State of Yong. He led an army to conquer a thousand li of land. Taking advantage of the Three Princes of Yong fighting for the throne, he split the land and established the State of Yong. Afterwards, he joined forces and established Daoism as the state religion. Taking advantage of the situation, he latched onto the thigh of the powerful State of Jing, which was also of Daoist lineage. Only then was he able to gain a firm foothold and pass it down to this day.
However, because of this period of history, the two States of Zhuang and Yong had always been at odds.
Perhaps the State of Zhuang's enemies were welcomed on both sides of the road in the State of Yong.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything about this. He only silently followed Zhang Linchuan out of the courtyard.
Tang Dun, who was guarding the door, immediately came forward, his eyes filled with anticipation. "How was it? Was the demon exterminated? "
He had just heard the commotion outside the courtyard and knew that a battle had taken place inside.
"We already have clues," Jiang Wang said. He turned to look at Zhang Linchuan. "Senior Martial Brother, can you lend me some money?"
Zhang Linchuan didn't ask for the reason and casually threw a purse over.
Jiang Wang weighed it in his hand and took out the smallest piece of silver. He originally wanted to take some money, but there was only gold and silver in Zhang Linchuan's purse.
Jiang Wang handed the silver to the town's constable, Tang Dun. "There is a little girl's skeleton inside. Please use this silver to buy a coffin and bury her. There are two piles of ashes in the courtyard. They belong to her parents. Bury them together. "
Tang Dun's rough face was very gloomy, but he firmly pushed Jiang Wang's hand away. "I will take care of their funeral. I can't take your money."
"Take it." Jiang Wang forced the silver into his hand. "Take it as me asking for peace of mind."
Tang Dun's constable uniform had traces of mending. It was obvious that his family wasn't very well off. Since he was assigned to receive him and Zhang Linchuan, who weren't welcomed, it meant that he was also a marginalized person in the government.
He couldn't break free, so he could only firmly grasp Jiang Wang's hand. "I thank you on behalf of Niu 'er!"
So her name was Niu 'er.
The canvas hanging on the wall seemed to appear in front of his eyes again. She once naively wanted to stay for a spring. But her life didn't blossom again.
Niu 'er, Niu' er.
Jiang Wang repeated the name several times in his heart. It seemed that he had tied some kind of responsibility to his Taoist Heart.
