Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 141: The Law of Falling into a Manure Pit

"Cough cough..."

Xin Zhuo coughed a few times and summarized his exchange with the old man in his mind.

This old man, with his profound True Qi and the strength to move mountains, is probably capable of killing an ordinary sixth-rank expert with just a touch.

Therefore, Xin Zhuo believed that he could defeat four or five people like him.

Firstly, his own cultivation method is nearly eight times more profound than the old man's. Secondly, the old man couldn't understand his own Qinggong (lightness skill), and his own palm technique left the old man bewildered. Lastly, Xin Zhuo didn't use his full strength, otherwise he could have killed the old man with a single palm strike.

He walked slowly towards the old man.

The old man, who was now feeble and unable to muster any strength due to his sore and numb body, seemed to have aged ten years. His pride and the dignity of a renowned figure in the martial world had vanished. As he watched Xin Zhuo approaching, a sense of desolation and even fear filled his heart.

If he had known that Xin Zhuo was a star of death, why would he have stepped into this muddy water? What use is a small Great Master Cultivation Technique?

Practitioners have long lifespans, and he was only sixty-seven years old. He still had at least thirty good years ahead of him.

Subconsciously, he dragged his body backward.

Feng Sanniang and Zhao Li, who had been silently observing from a distance, seemed to have snapped out of their state of disbelief and shock. They not only found it absurd, but also felt fear.

Even though they knew Xin Zhuo, this young man in front of them bore no resemblance to the familiar figure they knew.

As they saw Xin Zhuo getting closer to the old man, the two women's rationality overcame their fear. Xin Zhuo was coughing?

He was also injured by the old man! In fact, it was a mutually destructive outcome, so he should be at his weakest now.

The two women exchanged a glance and firmly made up their minds.

"Canglang..."

Their long swords were unsheathed, and in a flash, they appeared behind Xin Zhuo, launching a full-force attack in an attempt to kill him with a single strike.

The overwhelming fluctuations of True Qi and the large shadows of their swords were about to reach Xin Zhuo's back.

A strange gleam flashed in the eyes of the two women.

At this moment, Xin Zhuo didn't even turn his head. He waved his right hand, and a terrifying green True Qi swept over.

The sword shadows and True Qi were instantly swept away, and the green True Qi struck the chests of the two women.

It was like being hit by a mountain!

Their swords had already slipped from their hands, and the two women groaned as they were sent flying tens of zhang away, crashing heavily to the ground. Their internal organs shook, and they spewed out a mouthful of blood, their faces pale.

They couldn't withstand a single blow!

Xin Zhuo wasn't injured? He pretended to cough to lure us in?

This treacherous scoundrel!

"Capture them!" Xin Zhuo was already squatting beside the old man, casually speaking.

"Here we come!"

Xue Huaiwei and Tang Shize, fearing that someone else would seize the opportunity, rushed forward with their weapons, surrounding the two women.

Then, they glanced at Xin Zhuo discreetly. The five of them watched the fight from start to finish, from anticipation to confusion, then from confusion to shock, and now they were starting to feel numb.

Listening and obeying orders was always a way to stay alive.

"You..." Zhao Li looked at the five of them in disbelief. She naturally recognized them, but why...

"Hehe..." Tang Shize awkwardly chuckled, feeling that it was inappropriate. His face turned serious, "Shut up!"

The old man in the distance naturally saw the miserable state of the two women. All his hopes had faded, and he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, "I have roamed the martial world for decades, upholding justice, helping the people, and never doing anything against common morality. I dare not claim to be unparalleled in chivalry, but..."

"I am the same!" Xin Zhuo interrupted, "I am known as the Just and Virtuous Iron-faced Judge, a loyal and righteous young man who upholds justice and fights for the heavens. I would sacrifice myself for my friends!"

The old man, who had a sense of impending doom, felt insulted. "Everything I said is true!"

Xin Zhuo said earnestly, "Me too!"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you. Let's get started!"

Xin Zhuo said with a smile, "I won't kill you."

The old man opened his eyes wide and a strong desire to survive appeared in his eyes. He asked, "What's the price?"

Xin Zhuo took out a pill and said, "I know you can calculate things accurately. Take this pill and help me for a while!"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to capture all the practitioners within a few hundred miles who are below fifth rank and up to sixth rank."

"It's really you!"

The old man's face showed a look of shock. Xin Zhuo matched the appearance of the star in the divination.

Xin Zhuo didn't understand, and he didn't bother to ask. He said seriously, "What do you think?"

"No way!" The old man said angrily, "I have traveled the rivers and lakes for decades, always upholding justice and helping the people. I have never done anything against moral principles. It's impossible for me to join forces with a killer like you!"

"In that case, I'll kill you, skin you, and disable the martial arts of the two female heroes behind you. Then I'll sell them to a brothel, where they will serve fifty customers a day!"

"You despicable thief... Fine! I agree!"

The boat continued on its way.

Stars filled the sky, shining brightly, just like the current mood of Yan Chizong, Tang Shize, Xue Huaiwei, and the others.

They looked at Feng Sanniang and Zhao Ligu, who were pulling the boat with their injured bodies, as well as the old man, who looked old but had bright eyes and a slight smile on his lips.

Human nature is complex!

It's like when one person falls into a cesspool, they will be furious and curse loudly. When two or three people fall in together, they will be silent and think about how to fill the cesspool.

When five or six people fall in together, the feeling of frustration suddenly fades away, and it becomes a bit funny. When there are more people, and some of them are stronger and have higher status than oneself...

It suddenly becomes interesting!

In the desolate wilderness, with overgrown grass, just like the current state of mind of Feng Sanniang and Zhao Ligu. We never really respected Xin Zhuo, and even wanted to kill him. But now we are pulling his boat and becoming his prisoners. Life's circumstances are really... sigh!

"I have traveled the rivers and lakes for decades, always upholding justice and helping the people..." The old man sighed and tightened the rope on his shoulder.

"Who do you think we should deal with next?" Xin Zhuo asked earnestly and sincerely.

This question... it's terrifying!

That's what everyone is thinking.

Then everyone had inexplicable thoughts. Yan Chizong turned around and said coldly, "I strongly suggest dealing with Lady Bai Furong Qin. She is beautiful and her martial arts are high!"

Zhao Ligu angrily rebuked, "You fool! Lady Qin doesn't have a bounty on her head, and she's pregnant!"

"Even better!" Yan Chizong smiled coldly and cupped his fists towards Xin Zhuo. "I strongly suspect that Lady Qin and her husband secretly accepted the bounty, and they want to harm King Xin. If she can be so vicious while pregnant, how can we let her live?"

Xin Zhuo had reason to suspect that this guy was Lady Qin's pursuer, seeking personal revenge!

At this moment, the old man also turned around and said firmly, "I strongly suggest capturing the Ghost Scholar Zhuge Ming. He is my close friend and is at the fifth rank!"

"Why?" Xin Zhuo asked, carefully observing the old man's expression. Did he have the same idea of escaping together? Did he take the pill just to die?

The old man said seriously, "Zhuge Ming also intends to accept the bounty, and... he used to work as a carriage driver when he was young, so he is very skilled at driving carriages!"
