Auuuugh!!!
Boom!!! Boom!!!
After Zheng-Fu had risen two more steps, his pressure and energy wave increased. Previously, Zheng-Fu was at the fifth level of the Immortal stage, and he had already made the five assassins feel pressured. Just because they were using a formation, it was difficult for Zheng-Fu to deal with.
When his energy level had increased by two more levels, he was able to break through the intermediate of the Immortal stage and become an advanced one. His energy also increased terrifyingly, especially for his psychic killing, which was both scary and terrifying, like a demon warlord from the deepest layer of hell.
"Im... im... impossible!?" the middle-aged man, the leader of the assassins, cried out in disbelief at what he saw in front of him.
The other four assassins had the same opinion because Zheng-Fu's advancement was too unacceptable. Everyone knew that it was impossible for someone at the Immortal stage to be able to advance two levels at once like this.
Even using energy-up pills or absorbing the energy from magic items, excellent herbs, or even other things that could be of help to level up would still take a lot of time. But for Zheng-Fu, besides being able to increase two levels at once, his power also stabilized immediately after increasing.
"It'll be too much. This isn't a person anymore!" As for the city lord himself, he could not help but be shocked by what had happened because they were also involved in the incident.
Huh!!!
"Don't lose your concentration right now. Let's go in together. I can't believe that this brat can balance his energy as soon as he's leveled up!" The leader of the assassins hurriedly calmed down and ordered the other four to act immediately.
He thought that Zheng-Fu would not be able to balance right away. Therefore, he thought of vying for action first because it was a teaching that had been taught since ancient times that the first to act would be the one who gained advantages.
Yaa!!! Yaa!!!
[The Five-Star Slaughter Formation; The Final Slaughter: Assimilated Assassination]
Whooooooosh!!!
Huh!!!
[Winter Wolf Body Technique]
Suddenly, a voice that sounded as if he was ignoring the world came from Zheng-Fu's mouth with a blissful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth before his figure vanished from where he stood. Only the shadows and the cold wave remained.
[The Buddhist Saint Skill; The Sword of the Buddhist Saint]
Zing!!!
Chop!!! Slash!!! Chop!!! Slash!!!
Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!
After Zheng-Fu disappeared for a moment, the sound of flesh being cut through suddenly sounded as the four assassins' heads slipped out of their bodies and rolled onto the ground while their eyes were still wide open and stared at Zheng-Fu.
Ah!!!
The sudden death of the four assassins immediately made the assassins' leader sweat in terror, as their formation had already been destroyed, and he had turned out to have a lower energy level than the enemy.
He could not escape his destiny. But even then, he still had not given up. Instead, he shifted his focus to the city lord. He soared and thrust his weapon straight at the city lord's neck with a brutal face. But just as his body was soaring out...
Slash!!!
Augh!!!
The assassin's throat was so easily cut through by Zheng-Fu's sword. Even his protective Qi energy could not resist Zheng-Fu's sword. His head was easily cut off and rolled onto the ground, the same as the heads of the four assassins earlier.
"Later, remember not to threaten anyone's family again. And thanks to all of you, I was able to break through the constriction point of the energy level," Zheng-Fu's figure slowly emerged along with his words, both teaching and thanking the assassins.
"Er… Er…"
"Well, now I think you better hurry to open the city gates to welcome the people outside or tell them something because if you let them wait outside like that, it would not be good for you and this city."
When Zheng-Fu had finished thanking the assassins, he turned to the city lord, who was about to open his mouth to say something, and told the city lord to go out and take care of the people outside because leaving them in a situation like that would not be good.
The city lord had the same opinion as well, only being scared and worried about the spies from the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom, causing the city gates to remain closed until today.
"I understand and thank you very much for helping me and my subordinates. If it weren't for your help, my life would not have escaped from these assassins."
"No need to thank me, City Lord, because I just want to fight them. Other than that, I don't think anything of it. Therefore, City Lord doesn't need to thank me at all."
Blop!!!
Zheng-Fu still had the same cold expression on his face as he walked to collect the dimensional ring from the bodies of the middle-aged man and the four assassins who were lying dead before throwing them into his dimensional ring without caring about the surroundings. Anyway, these things were already his war assets.
When he finished collecting, Zheng-Fu was preparing to walk to the window he had entered, but at that moment, a cry for him to stop rang out.
"Wait a minute, sir. Excuse me, young master. Please tell me your name," the voice calling for Zheng-Fu to stop was the sound of the city lord himself. He called for Zheng-Fu to stop because he wanted to ask for his name so that he would properly repay him for his help in the future.
"My last name is Tian-Tang, named Zheng-Fu... Is there anything else?"
"Tian-Tang!?"
"Zheng-Fu!?"
After hearing Zheng-Fu's surname, the city lord's face immediately turned into a deep thought because he felt familiar. He could not tell where he had heard it.
"If there is nothing, then I'll excuse myself. I still have a lot of things to do. Excuse me."
"Wait a minute, Young Master!"
But just as Zheng-Fu was about to leave, the city lord called him again. This time, it made Zheng-Fu a little annoyed because he was about to step on his feet, preparing to jump out of the window. He turned around and asked with a displeased look on his face.
"What else, City Lord!?"
"Well… I just wanted to ask if Master Kong-Shi is fine?" said the city lord with a slight cowardly at Zheng-Fu's displeased tone.
Huh...?
"You know my father too?" But when Zheng-Fu heard the question from the city lord, his displeased face immediately turned suspicious, and he asked the city lord back.
"A little bit, but it was a long time ago. Your father and I met in the Monster Rainforest in Blossom Meadow City, and I saved him from the siege of the beasts. He also helped me find the Heart Grass, a rare herb that could be used as my wife's antidote.
So, we had the opportunity to get to know each other and become friends," said the city lord with a face reminiscent of that day, the day he and Zheng-Fu's father encountered danger in the Monster Rainforest, and they became friends. During City Lord's narrative, Zheng-Fu was constantly observing the twinkle in his eyes, and he did not find anything to show a lie.
"I have to apologize to City Lord for my previous bad manners. If you and Father are friends, we are just like close people," Zheng-Fu immediately changed his expression to be humble and respectful towards the city lord and apologized to him for acting coldly towards him previously.
"No... no... You don't have to apologize to me, but is your father doing well? Since coming out of the Monster Rainforest that day, I haven't seen him again, nor did he tell me where he was other than his name and surname and his son's name."
"Father is fine, City Lord."
"Is that so…? Hmm... I'm glad that you and he are both very much alike. Both the decisiveness and the determination that sparkled in the eyes of the two of you don't really differ from each other," City Lord said admiringly because he had also seen such flashes in the eyes of Kong-Shi at that time.
"Thank you, City Lord, for appreciating me... Alright, City Lord, I've got to excuse myself. I have something important to accomplish. My friends are waiting outside the city right now," after finishing the conversation, Zheng-Fu immediately said goodbye because he still had to search for information about Bao-Jin's master.
"I don't know if I can help you with something?" but at that moment, the city lord asked.
"Um... That's good as well. Maybe you can help me. I'm looking for someone from the San-Hua Sect who came from the frontier city. Does City Lord know that they have come to this city or not?"
After thinking for a moment, Zheng-Fu decided that going out on his own would be difficult and time-consuming, so he accepted City Lord's help and told him what he wanted to do.
"San-Hua Sect from the frontier city? Um... If they are someone from the frontier city, not a single one of them has entered the city yet. Since the outpost was defeated, I ordered the city gates to be closed immediately. The people you saw at the city gate are from the frontier city."
The city lord immediately explained that the people from the frontier city were still outside his city gate; not a single person had entered yet. Because he was afraid that there would be spies lurking in the city, he ordered the city gate closed like that.
"Then they might as well be outside the city!?" Zheng-Fu said with understanding but also with a puzzled look on his face. (So, are you doubting or understanding?)
"It might be possible because everyone outside of the city was an immigrant from the frontier. But there might be villagers and wanderers from the city as well," replied City Lord with a smile at Zheng-Fu.
"Then, thanks City Lord so much for this information. As for the damage to this mansion, you don't have to worry. Because I..."
Whooooosh!!!
Suddenly, the scene around the ruined mansion changed. Whether the cracks or the broken things scattered all over the floor, everything had returned to its original state except for the assassins' corpses, they remained the same with fresh blood spilling all over the floor.
Waaaah!!!
"Dear!!!"
Suddenly, a woman's cry rang out as the mansion returned to its original state, and this cry caused the city lord's face to immediately pale with a worried shout, and he dashed in the direction of the sound.
Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!
When the followers saw the city lord run, they immediately ran after him, except Zheng-Fu, who did not run after them because he knew what had happened and why the woman was screaming just now.
