From a humble farmer to a great martial arts master

55, Funeral

Bian Guishou, whose face was half covered by a white cloth, was startled when he heard this.

Exposed?

He's actually a constable?

The man carrying the banner was quick-witted; his eyes were red-rimmed and teary, and he asked in a puzzled tone, "Who...who are you?"

"Open the coffin!"

"This constable needs to inspect!"

Ren Qingshan shouted loudly and fiercely, as if possessed by the spirit of a constable, becoming increasingly confident.

The man carrying the banner stepped forward and pleaded, "Sir, my father has just been placed in the coffin for burial. How can we open the coffin to inspect him? We are all..."

He waved the paper banner in his hand halfway through his sentence, scattering a handful of medicinal powder that drifted away.

Several people behind suddenly pushed open the coffin lid, took out their weapons, and rushed over!

Living together day and night, they naturally developed a perfect working relationship.

One person takes action, and the others follow suit.

Kill this constable!

"what!"

A scream suddenly rang out.

Blood splattered like a jet, a head leaped high into the air, and the headless corpse slumped to the ground.

Ren Qingshan held his breath, circulating his inner energy, and simultaneously forming a protective energy barrier on his skin. His blade flashed like lightning, and he had already slain one person.

He leaped high into the air, the dagger flew from his hand, and pierced through the bone between the eyebrows of another person.

In an instant, two people were killed.

The precious sword in his hand had already slashed at the third person. The person hurriedly raised his sword to defend, but suddenly felt a surge of true energy attacking him, which went straight into his eyes. He immediately covered his face and screamed in pain.

Three!

At this time.

A bright flash of light suddenly illuminated Ren Qingshan's eyes.

Like the boundary between light and darkness at sunrise.

It was a matter of life and death!

It was Bian Guishou who seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

His knife was incredibly fast!

As the ghost hand drew his blade, it was only then that they saw that the constable in front of them had actually condensed true energy!

It's the late stage of Silver Blood!

He was filled with immense horror.

However, the blade's momentum had already arrived, and it was unstoppable.

With a clang, the two swords met side by side, and their eyes locked.

Bian Guishou hastily used the momentum to swing backward rapidly.

escape!

Ren Qingshan's legs burst with blood and qi, tearing his pants so he looked like a beggar. He then shot out two more streams of true qi from his left hand, severely injuring two bandits, and flew off to chase after his enemies.

With his true qi boosted, the Wind Chaser Kick moved with the speed of a galloping horse, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Bian Guishou.

With a roar, Bian Guishou didn't turn his head, but used his sense of direction to shoot out three silver needles that glowed with blue light.

With a sudden twist of his waist, he turned around and slashed again!

It immediately turned and fled again.

At this time.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, and his body suddenly felt light.

My...my arm...my knife!

However, the arm holding the knife was severed at the shoulder.

He was kicked hard in the back again, and flew out in a twisted posture. His internal organs felt like they were burning, and a surge of true energy raged within his body.

He scrambled and dodged, but Bian Guishou's ferocity was unleashed. A delicately crafted hidden weapon box in his sleeve activated its mechanism, unleashing a dense rain of needles.

This "Rainstorm Needle" is a masterpiece crafted by skilled artisans, capable of firing up to 108 silver needles at a time!

dead!

just.

The next moment, he saw the constable behind him swing his sword to block most of the silver needles, while the other silver needles, although they hit him, were stopped on the surface of his skin and fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

An indescribable fear instantly made my heart pound.

"Chalcedony...you are jade..."

brush!

A head was severed from the body, blood splattered on the yellow earth, eyes wide open.

Ren Qingshan originally wanted to spare the man's life, but since he had already seen through the Jade Marrow Realm, he could not let the man live.

This hidden weapon is truly dangerous.

If I hadn't broken through to the Jade Marrow realm, even if I could kill him with my late-stage Silver Blood True Qi, I would have had to pay a price.

Looking back, he saw the last person disappear into the mountains and forests. Ren Qingshan leaped up, took out his bow with his backhand, nocked an arrow with his front hand, and shot an arrow like a shooting star chasing the moon.

The arrows whistled loudly, creating a sonic boom.

The man, like a rabbit, suddenly turned and narrowly avoided danger.

Uh.

It didn't work.

A hint of embarrassment appeared in Ren Qingshan's eyes.

His archery skills aren't particularly high, so it's normal for him to miss.

The ten-stone bow fired in rapid succession; swish, swish, swish, five arrows were released simultaneously, killing the last bandit with a barrage of bullets.

"You guys are so thoughtful, you even prepared coffins for yourselves."

Ren Qingshan then released a breath of true energy, inhaled the slightly bloody air, and felt an excited tremor throughout his body.

With murderous intent filling his chest, he drew his sword; upon meeting, their blades clashed and blood flowed freely.

Hearty!

This team fight, where one player took on seven opponents, was truly a winning proposition.

The ultimate path is to crush your opponent's cultivation level...

Ren Qingshan silently summarized his experience.

Only then did he return, kill all the wounded, loot all their belongings, and collect their bodies.

Along with the coffin, they were neatly arranged by the roadside.

In Yixiandao's baggage was a magnet that came with the hidden weapon box. Ren Qingshan used this to attract all the scattered silver needles to prevent them from accidentally injuring passersby.

……

After crossing three pedestrian crossings, seeing what was happening in front of him, he didn't dare to get close at all and turned around and ran away from a distance.

Ren Qingshan chuckled to himself.

Promising!

He took out a delicate and exquisite firework from his pocket.

……

"Hurry up!"

"Turn around and leave!"

"Many people have died up ahead!"

"It seems some ruthless bandits are robbing us on the road!"

The three of them hurriedly ran back, only to run into the Lu family's convoy, where they kindly offered a warning.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu frowned slightly, his eyes sharpening.

On this official road?

Many people died?

Inside the carriage, Lu Qingyi's heart stirred slightly upon hearing these words. Just then, she suddenly saw a firework explode high in the sky.

In an instant, sorrow turned to joy.

This was the signal agreed upon with Ren Qingshan beforehand: if he had succeeded in killing the bandit, fireworks would be set off as a signal.

"It's Senior Ren!"

"Senior Ren killed Yixian Dao's gang. Let's go, let's go!"

Lu Qingyi jumped off the carriage and walked quickly forward.

Lu Jiu was slightly taken aback, but quickly followed.

Ren Qingshan?

……

After rounding a sharp bend, Lu Qingyi saw Ren Qingshan standing with his hands behind his back on a stone by the official road, with a row of bodies at his feet.

"Senior Ren!"

She called out anxiously.

Come here!

"I have slain all seven of the ruthless bandits with the 'One-Line Blade'!"

Ren Qingshan's clear voice rang out in the wind.

The two hurried forward and, upon seeing the horrific scene, and then looking at Ren Qingshan, were filled with shock and horror.

"Are you...you're not hurt?"

Lu Qingyi asked with concern.

"No. Judging by their appearance, are these the ones who were chasing you earlier? Did you miss anyone?"

Ren Qingshan shook his head and smiled.

Lu Jiu looked at them one by one and recognized them all; they were the same ones.

I never imagined that the former silver-ranked bodyguard of the Lu family would have fallen to this level!

How long has it been?

It's been less than half a year, right?

Fang Yonggang... what a fool!

If it weren't for the fact that the Fang family had shared hardships with the master when they were young, and if it weren't for the timely intervention of the madam and young lady, the Lu family would not have fared well if they had offended Ren Qingshan!

"Your Excellency is truly valiant! This gang of ruthless bandits has been causing havoc for a long time and has taken many lives on their hands. However, they don't often operate in my Huaiyin area. The head constable in the prefectural city once offered a reward for their capture. Your Excellency's actions are truly a great achievement."

Lu Jiuping calmed himself down, his voice full of humility.

Lu Qingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she spoke softly, "Let's take these people's bodies back to Huaiyin County first. Let's first offer sacrifices to my three deceased guards to comfort their spirits in heaven."

"As for the matters in the prefectural city, the prefectural city's constables will handle them. For the constables of Huaiyin County, this is a great honor."

"Senior Ren, what do you think?"

She didn't want to go to the prefectural city and would postpone it as long as possible.

This reason is perfectly legitimate and irrefutable.
