Chương 12: Chapter 12: Murder and Arson, A Golden Belt! (Please Favorite)
A saber fell, and heads rolled!
With the thousand jin strength granted by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, combined with the Ghost Head Saber Technique.
This Wei Feng could not possibly withstand his strike.
Blood gushed from the large severed wound, causing Qin Zheng to slightly furrow his brow.
He loosened his grip, letting go of Wei Feng's corpse, and threw it to the ground.
Then he turned around to look around, noticing no disturbance, still as quiet as if no one were present.
By the looks of it, there seemed to be no ambush from the Cicada Gang either.
Qin Zheng's heart settled, and he immediately withdrew his gaze, bent down, and began searching Wei Feng's body.
Three hundred-tael silver notes, a bag of silver pieces, and a booklet kept close to his body.
Qin Zheng's eyes lit up. He hastily took the booklet, finding it to be the martial arts manual "Black Evil Palm" the other had practiced.
Joy arose in Qin Zheng's heart, and he immediately placed the booklet inside his own chest.
Following that, Qin Zheng placed the three hundred-tael silver notes and the bag of silver pieces into his chest as well.
He then tore off a piece of cloth from the body, stepped forward, and wrapped up the head.
In the city, murdering someone would usually prompt an investigation and manhunt by the government office.
But Wei Feng was a remnant of the Cicada Gang, a criminal currently pursued by the authorities.
Qin Zheng had no need to worry about being hunted but could even receive a reward at the government office with the heads of such criminals.
It could be said that Wei Feng was truly a charitable child.
He not only delivered silver to a destitute Qin Zheng but also a martial arts manual.
Even this head could bring Qin Zheng a sum of money.
Qin Zheng smiled, then stood up, went home to fetch a rag, wiped the Ghost Head Greatsword, then wrapped it roughly and carried it on his back.
He took a look around at the dilapidated mud house that had a big hole smashed through.
With such damage, it was certainly uninhabitable.
Now that he had assimilated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and possessed the strength of a thousand jin, he no longer feared any threats posed by Shi Dian.
He no longer needed to rely on the narrow, complex paths here to increase his chances of escaping.
Plus, with the silver he had obtained from Wei Feng, he could now afford to change his environment and improve his living conditions!
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng smiled slightly, marveling at how quickly things had changed.
Earlier this morning before he left the house, he was still being extremely cautious, fearing an attack from the Cicada Gang.
But now, owning the strength of a thousand jin, he no longer feared the opponent and could boldly change his residence.
It could only be said, martial arts truly could easily change a person's destiny.
Of course, only someone like him, who could disregard the difficulties of martial art cultivation and confront it directly with merit, could change so swiftly.
Others, even if they were prodigies, likely couldn't achieve this like he did.
As long as one has enough merit, any martial art can be mastered in a thought, perfected in a moment!
Thinking this way, Qin Zheng chuckled lightly, then strode out of the house, leaving the slums behind.
Although the commotion earlier was intense, the inhabitants here were poor and were mostly away at work at this hour.
So it remained quiet, with no one peeking out to see why such a loud disturbance had happened.
Qin Zheng maintained a calm expression, carrying the broadly wrapped Ghost Head Greatsword on his back, holding a blood-dripping cloth wrap in his hand.
His body emitted a powerful, imposing aura, causing people along the way to veer off, not daring to come near.
In this manner, he walked from the eastern part of the city to the northern part, where the government office was located.
The flow of people here was much less than in the western part of the city.
Especially near the government office, it was virtually empty, barely a shadow in sight.
Two government officials saw Qin Zheng, their expressions tightened, and they immediately drew their swords, shouting sternly, "Halt, who goes there!"
"The head of a Cicada Gang remnant, I've come to claim the reward!"
Qin Zheng didn't bother with small talk, and he threw the wrapped head in front of the two officials.
The bloody wrap fell to the ground, revealing the desperate head of Wei Feng, startling the two officials.
However, being employees of the government office, especially in Black Goose City, they were no strangers to such scenes.
The two moved forward to confirm the identity, then rewrapped Wei Feng's head, and said to Qin Zheng, "Please wait a moment, sir!"
After that, one of them carried the wrap back into the government office, while the other stayed put.
Qin Zheng didn't engage in conversation with them, slightly bowing his head, feeling the ongoing changes in his body from assimilating sarira and mastering the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.
He could feel warm currents emerging from within his body, flowing through his limbs and extremities, and finally melding into the outermost layer of his skin!
This also made Qin Zheng's skin become tougher and more resilient.
"Skin Refinement Realm..."
Qin Zheng whispered softly.
This situation should still prove that he was still in the Skin Refinement Realm.
However, his strength at this moment had definitely broken through its limits, no longer confined to the scope of the Skin Refinement Realm.
Qin Zheng sighed softly in his heart.
This was because the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique he had obtained was incomplete, lacking in essence.
Under the forcible enhancement through the Merit Scroll, although his strength was elevated, it was unable to simultaneously enhance his physique!
What a pity...
Otherwise, with his current strength, even if he faced Shi Dian, he would dare to draw his sword and confront him!
After a short while, within the government office, the Government Official who had gone to notify returned once again.
This time, he was not holding the package containing Wei Feng's head but instead carried a bag of money.
"Sir, the government office has confirmed it is indeed Wei Feng's head."
The Government Official approached Qin Zheng, speaking with a smile.
The Black Evil Palm Wei Feng was not a nobody in Black Goose City and its surrounding areas.
The young man before him, able to kill him alone, must also possess remarkable martial arts skills.
Seeing his simple and modest clothing, he might be a disciple of some reclusive expert; they naturally dared not display any airs of superiority.
"This is your reward, thirty Silver Taels, please accept it."
The Government Official respectfully handed the money bag over to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng's lips slightly curled as he reached out to take the money bag.
Wei Feng had altogether provided him with three hundred and fifty Silver Taels.
Excluding the thirty taels before him, there were three hundred and twenty taels he had searched from his body.
Indeed, it was a golden belt won through murder and arson!
Qin Zheng took the money and was about to leave.
He still needed to find a new place to stay.
However, at that moment, the Government Official behind him called out to him again and asked, "Sir, may I ask where did you kill Wei Feng?"
Qin Zheng did not hide the truth, candidly saying, "East of the city."
Saying so, he strode away from there.
The government office always gave him a morose and chilly feeling, standing at the entrance felt uncomfortable.
No wonder there were hardly any people around.
Thinking this, Qin Zheng then headed to the south of the city.
This area was neither as bustling as the west nor as simple as the east, occupying a mediocre part of the city.
Moreover, it was closer to the execution grounds and military camps, facilitating Qin Zheng's movements.
After briefly scouting the area, he spent thirty taels to buy a small courtyard that had one entrance and one exit, serving as a place for Qin Zheng to settle down.
The conditions were far better than the clay house in the east of the city.
After a simple cleaning, Qin Zheng prepared to go out and grab some food.
Bang bang—
Just then, a knocking sound came from the door.
Qin Zheng was a bit puzzled; he had just bought the courtyard and barely moved in, who could be visiting?
Could it be a friend of the previous owner?
He tensed slightly and approached the door, asking aloud, "Who is it?"
Outside, a familiar voice answered, "It's me, Wang Er."
Qin Zheng then opened the door and saw the dark-complexioned, complex-faced Wang Er.
"Big Brother Wang, how did you know I moved here?"
Qin Zheng was somewhat surprised.
"Colonel Ji wants to see you."
At this moment, Wang Er looked at Qin Zheng with a complex expression and spoke.
