Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1076 The dog official deserves to be punished (3500 words)
It was getting late, and smoke was rising from the bandit's village deep in the mountains and forests.

Originally, this was supposed to be a peaceful and peaceful place like a paradise.

However, in the cottage protected by a solid wooden wall, bursts of yelling and the clear sound of whips hitting the flesh could be heard from time to time, which ruined all this beauty.

Dozens of shirtless strong men were vigorously wielding hoes in the fields in the village.

The sweat on their backs fell on the open whipping wounds. The severe pain made them all red-eyed, but they did not dare to slow down the beat for fear of attracting a whip.

These strong men were the bandits from the original village.

"Hurry up and finish today's farm work before dark. If you miss the deadline, you will continue to go hungry tonight!"

Four domineering men holding soft whips and wearing gray shirts and uniforms, with disgust written on their faces, kept walking back and forth in the fields, threatening and urging them from time to time.

The whips in their hands hit the bandits, making these Natlanders dare not speak out.

Whether they were in their hometown or came here as bandits, they all knew how abominable these damn officials were.

These guys are the most loyal lackeys of the dignitaries.

As long as these guys are unhappy at all, the outcome waiting for them will either be their families and their families destroyed, or they will find reasons to be charged with various crimes and exiled to the frontier.

Even if they became brothers who vowed to live and die together, they still did not dare to rebel against these thugs and officials.

After all, the body of the second master with the strongest cultivation in their village is still hanging on the gate of the village, being eaten by poisonous insects and carrion-eating birds.

On the platform of Juyi Hall in the center of the village, a fat middle-aged man wearing a purple robe and lying on a chair, being served by three squires waving fans, is the magistrate of Dakang County.

The magistrate rocked his chair comfortably and looked at the bandits working in the fields with a satisfied smile on his face.

If I had known that a bandit could enjoy such leisurely life, he worked so hard to gain fame back then, and when he became the county magistrate, he still had to work hard to make money, give gifts, and maintain relationships with his colleagues. What was he doing?

He just raised his hand, and a squire with a goatee quickly picked up the tea cup and handed the warm tea into his hand. At the same time, he smiled flatteringly:
"Master County, please have some tea."

Just as the magistrate of Dakang County was picking up his tea cup, listening to the laughter of the family members in the Juyi Hall, he was thinking about which concubine to favor after dinner.

Suddenly, a panicked old man's voice exploded from the air:

"Lord Magistrate! No, it's not good!"

This sound made the magistrate of Dakang County shake his hands violently, and the tea spilled onto the floor.

"What's the noise...could it be that the evil cultivators are chasing us?"

The obese magistrate didn't care that his sleeves were soaked with tea, and stood up quickly. His face turned pale as he watched the four peak foundation-building monks he had cultivated fall quickly from the air, and he asked in a fearful voice.

The three squires, like him, were all trembling like frightened birds.

"It's not an evil cultivator, it's an immortal who is leading..."

"puff!"

The four masters of the Foundation Establishment Realm all had fear on their faces, and they couldn't even catch their breath as soon as they landed in front of the steps of the Juyi Hall.

The next second, four arrows with golden luster were like four streams of light, tearing apart the night that had not yet completely fallen from the sky above the dark dense forest, and instantly penetrated the heads of the four foundation-building experts.

This sensational scene happened in the blink of an eye, so much so that the magistrate of Dakang County rubbed his eyes blankly, thinking he was seeing an hallucination.

The four foundation-building experts he spent a lot of money to train have always been his most proud life-saving talismans.

How could it be that they all died miserably in front of him without even making a sound, just like being killed by insects and ants?
"Ah, ah!!!"

When the smell of blood spread, fear finally climbed into the hearts of the county magistrate and the surrounding squires, causing them to instinctively scream in fear.

Other squires, officials and family members in the village, as well as the supervisors, also heard the voices of the foundation guards, and also screamed after seeing the headless corpses of the four foundation guards.

On the contrary, the bandits who were still working in the fields were still waving their hoes numbly.

They don't know what happened in the village, and they don't want to know what happened.

All they knew was that if they stopped what they were doing, they would be whipped and starved.

As for who killed them, three consecutive days of high-intensity labor had made them feel that even if they were evil cultivators, it didn't matter.

The worst possible outcome is death, and everything is over.

It would be better if this group of landowners and bastards who didn't regard them as human beings could die with them.

"Boom!"

Just as the dignitaries in the village were in a state of panic, even at a loss, the gate of the village that could withstand the third-order monster suddenly exploded.

Even the rotting corpses of the second master and several other bandits who died in the resistance hanging on the wooden wall next to the gate swayed with the tremor caused by the explosion of the gate.

The bandits in the fields were stunned when they saw the faces of the people who rushed in from outside the gate.

The flames of hope were rekindled in their originally ashen eyes.

The leader, Du Mazi, was the first to rush into the stronghold, followed closely by several brothers who went to rob and buy money for the road, and rushed into the stronghold angrily.

"Stop working for these dog officials who deserve a thousand cuts! Brothers, the good days of these bastards are over!"

Du Mazi's angry roar made the bandits in the field surprised and confused.

Could it be that the moves that killed the powerful Foundation-Building Immortals under the four county magistrates were performed by their masters?
But although their leader is also an immortal, shouldn't his cultivation be at the Qi Condensation Realm?
"You?! Bold bandit, do you know this thing?"

Originally, the magistrate of Dakang County was planning to take advantage of the chaos and flee back to his room, take the gift ring, and sneak away. But when he recognized the identity of the person who rushed into the stronghold, he felt confident. He took out a crystal sun crown-shaped spiritual weapon from his robe pocket and shouted angrily.

He would be quite wary if the attacker was an evil cultivator.

But even if the strength of these short-sighted and vulgar bandits in the mountains suddenly increased for some unknown reason, he was sure that the Tianyansi spiritual weapon gifted to him by the officials could intimidate these unscrupulous people.

Sure enough, as soon as he took out the Tianyan Instrument, the aggressive bandits all stopped and looked at him with hatred and vigilance.

"Ha, hahaha! Are you afraid now? I am the county magistrate appointed by Yantiansi and the imperial court. You must recognize your identity and status!"

The fat magistrate saw that these bandits seemed to be calmed down. While fixing his messy robes, he raised his head and laughed wildly.

Even the squires and officials who were half way through seemed to have found a backbone and looked at Du Mazi and the others with ferocious smiles on their faces.

How could they forget about the county master and this treasure?

Although this day's performance instrument has no other function besides locking the target.

But for the Natlan people, Tianyanyi is equal to the supreme power of Yantiansi and the imperial court!
However, what happened next made them stop laughing soon.

Because they saw Du Mazi holding a machete and walking towards their county master step by step with a fierce look in his eyes.

It was as if he was determined to die, even if they were executed by Yan Tiansi and Xingbu, he would kill them all.

This made the smile on the Dakang County magistrate's face suddenly freeze, cold sweat dripped down his fat cheeks, and he staggered back step by step.

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't come any closer!
"Yan, Yan Tiansi and the Ministry of Punishment will send you all to prison... I, I will fight with you!"

After discovering that the threats were fruitless, the magistrate of Dakang County finally discovered that the situation was beyond his control.

He no longer pretended to be a tiger, but roared angrily, stuffed the Tianyan instrument in his hand back into his robe, turned around, and tried to escape through the back door of the cottage.

He fled from the fog formation arranged by the evil cultivator of Tianquan Sect in fear of the enemy. How could he dare to activate the Tianyan ritual?

If Yan Tiansi deduced that Dakang County was destroyed by evil cultivators because he abandoned the city and fled, it would be considered a light thing for him to let the Punishment Department delay all nine of his clans!

But the magistrate of Dakang County is only a mortal, and he has grown fat due to long-term pampering. No matter how fast he runs, can he still outrun Du Mazi who is in the Qi Condensation Realm?
Before he could even take two steps, he felt a sound of breaking through the air behind him.

The next second, he was forced to the ground by an irresistible force, wailing in pain.

"Spare my life! I, I will give you all the gold and silver treasures in the Sumeru Ring! Please spare my life, hero..."

When the surrounding squires and the family members of the Dakang County Magistrate saw this scene, they screamed in fear again and begged Du Mazi frantically not to be reckless.

But the big boss just held a machete with a cold light in his hand and pressed one knee on the back of the man who looked like a fat pig.

Du Mazi felt so ridiculous that he wanted to laugh when he heard that the county magistrate beneath him, whom he had never dared to look directly at, and that these high-ranking officials and nobles actually begged for mercy from a rogue like him.

It turns out that without those extreme lackeys, will these guys who never regard them as human beings be afraid of death?
"Guan Gu, did you know that I was a butcher in Dakang County more than ten years ago.

"Just because I was short of two taels of silver in my tax payment, you forcibly took away my store, forcing me to commit suicide.

"I didn't know until just now that the lives of all my relatives and friends, and everyone on the street where I grew up, were sold to evil cultivators by you bunch of dog officials!"

Du Mazi sneered like a maniac while turning over the slightly rusty machete in his hand.

Upon hearing Du Mazi's solemn words, all the squires present and the family members of the Dakang County Magistrate took a breath of cold air and turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Abandoning the city and fleeing was the biggest shadow in their lives.

The county magistrate abandoned the people and fled to kill the nine tribes, and all those who followed him were in limbo. This Natlan law has long become a lingering nightmare for them.

They originally thought that Dakang County was destroyed, and if they hid in the mountains, the court would not pursue the matter, and they could wait for a comeback in the future.

But who could have expected that everything they did would be known to this group of bandits.

Just like the magistrate of Dakang County, how can these pampered dignitaries outrun the bandits who have lived here for more than ten years?
In just a few minutes, all the officials and dignitaries of Dakang County were caught by the bandits one by one, tied back with hemp ropes, and knelt under the steps of Juyi Hall.

At this time, the magistrate of Dakang County was already ashen.

The cries of family members and men begging for mercy at the bottom of the steps made him feel like this place was the execution ground of the Ministry of Punishment.

Perhaps the moment he decided to escape from Dakang County, he was destined to be unable to escape this ending.

However, even so, the Dakang County magistrate was still doing his best to try to persuade the bandit who was pressing on him.

He doesn't want to die yet, he hasn't enjoyed enough glory and wealth yet, he can't die here.

"Guan Guan, as a county official, you have ruled so many innocent people and become the blood of evil cultivators. Instead of taking out the imperial weapon to avenge them, you use it to threaten us..."

But Du Mazi abruptly interrupted the county magistrate's nonsense out of extreme fear, took out the Tianyan Instrument from the robe of his fat body under his knees, and held it in his hand.

The bandit then spat on it and smashed it to the ground.

"Crack!"

Amidst the crisp breaking sounds and countless horrified looks, the Tianyan instrument, which represented the identity of the imperial official, was directly broken into two pieces.

Du Mazi, on the other hand, raised his machete in the air with both hands and shouted loudly like a life-threatening judge:

"Today, I don't want to go on a killing spree to dissuade the Immortal. I only use the dog head of you, a dog official, to comfort the compatriots in Dakang County who died tragically at the hands of evil cultivators!
"Brothers, leave these guys who have enjoyed so much happiness here to fend for themselves. I will take you to seek refuge with the Immortal and go to Dongzhou together!"

As the light and shadow of the machete fell, the excited shouts of the bandits echoed throughout the village.
