Night, in the dead of night, is the best time for practitioners to meditate.

Zhang Lingyun was a cultivator from the Thunder Academy, and he naturally knew the importance of cultivation, but tonight he couldn't calm down and enter the meditation practice.

The painter is a powerful cultivator who few people in the entire Qixia Province can match, a figure like the painter, unless it is the great cultivator of the Criminal Division or the imperial court of Zhongzhou City has already targeted him, otherwise the entire Yunqin Empire comes and goes freely, and to kill the shopkeeper of a business name is similar to pinching a chicken to death in his opinion.

But how did the painter collide with the Liu family's advisors?

Although the painter has been killed now, Zhang Lingyun knows very well that Su Zhongwen is the most important advisor of the Liu family, so if the Liu family continues to track down, I don't know if it will bring him a lot of trouble in the future.

Thinking of some big people in the court, they were often involved because of an negligence, or a very small matter, and they were finally forced to step down, leading to a very tragic ending, and thinking of this matter, it was all caused by his own desire to deal with Chen Feirong, Zhang Lingyun was even more irritable and angry in his heart.

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and he heard what seemed to be a slight sound coming from the eaves outside.

"Smack!"

His hand immediately landed on the green sharkskin scabbard beside him.

But after this slight sound came out, he didn't hear anything unusual.

"Nothing, it should be the same wild cat as last time, this is the official residence, there are sergeants guarding outside, and it is not far from the town guard barracks, how can anyone dare to come. It's me who is angry and uncomposed. Feeling that there was nothing abnormal, Zhang Lingyun's heart settled down, and then he sneered hideously, and muttered to himself: "Thinking of the painter's court recidivism, it reminded me... Chen Feirong, do you think that I won't be able to deal with you? There is no need to kill, I will arrange for a felon, blend in with your great virtue, and then I will cure you for harboring the crime of recidivism! A gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late, one day, I still want you to beg for mercy under me!"

"Click!"

But at this moment, the door of his room suddenly cracked, and the door bolt was broken from the outside in, and a person stepped into the room with the separate door.

"Who are you!"

Zhang Lingyun's movements were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and with a bang, he had already pulled out the knife.

This is a long white knife, the fine and exquisite hundred-forged steel pattern on the blade is clearly visible, and from the center of the blade to the hilt, there are golden runes like twisted lightning.

As soon as the knife was pulled out, the light of the knife was dazzling, and in the dark room, it flashed like lightning.

But in the moment he drew the knife, he swallowed the second half of the loud cry into his stomach.

Because this man only stepped into the door, and before he made any movements, a fierce and manic aura filled the entire room.

This is the breath of a sea of corpses and a sea of blood that has experienced countless life and death battles and strangulation by the army, and Zhang Lingyun can be sure that the other party's cultivation is far above himself, and only when he reaches the rank of a national warrior, the soul power flows out and oppresses the air, which will cause such a terrifying momentum.

Zhang Lingyun knew that in the face of this kind of cultivator whose cultivation and combat skills were far superior to his own, if he made things irreversible in an instant and fought to the death immediately, he would probably be killed by this cultivator before the guards outside rushed in.

This shocked the door, and at this moment, in Zhang Lingyun's eyes, the cultivator with a black cloth on his face was naturally Lin Xi.

Seeing Zhang Lingyun's loud shout stop abruptly, he said coldly: "I originally just wanted to kill you simply... But it's a pity that you shouldn't have said that and shouldn't have been heard by me, so I've changed my mind now. ”

While speaking coldly, Lin Xi did not stop at all, his figure continued to move forward, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the entire room, blowing Lin Xi like a fallen leaf in the wind, and he arrived in front of Zhang Lingyun at once.

"You're just a cultivator of the national rank, even if you can kill me, can you escape!"

As soon as he heard Lin Xi's first words, Zhang Lingyun had already felt the cold murderous intent on Lin Xi's body, and knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter.

At this moment, the runes on the long knife in Zhang Lingyun's hand were all filled with golden thunder light.

But this thunder light only flashed for a very short moment, it turned out that in this extremely short moment, Zhang Lingyun was making a gesture to gather the soul power of his whole body, and wanted to slash at Lin Xi, but this was actually just a false move, he directly threw the soul soldier long knife in his hand towards Lin Xi violently, and at the same time, his body shrank, and he actually rolled over the ground extremely fast, wanting to escape from this room.

"How is that possible!"

But at this moment, Zhang Lingyun's mind was just full of such a thought.

In the corner of his eye, he saw a foot trampled down violently, and before he could make any superfluous movements, it fell heavily on top of him with great force.

"Click".

Half of Zhang Lingyun's spine was directly trampled to pieces!

With a "duh", the long knife that lost its soul power and penetrated Lin Xi intervened and nailed it to the wall next to the door.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyun couldn't understand why the other party seemed to be completely aware of his next move at the moment of fighting, but he understood that the other party was just a face, and a simple step hit him hard.

And he also knew that for a cultivator, the spine was a "big dragon" in the human body, and this most important bone was completely shattered, which was not only equivalent to ruining the cultivator's combat power, but also completely ruining the cultivator's mobility, even if he could live, he would probably only be able to spend the rest of his life in paralysis.

The other party's kick obviously had the ability to directly stomp him to death, but it only completely shattered half of his spine, which made him paralyzed as if he was alive or dead.

"Ahh

So only at this moment, Zhang Lingyun, who understood this, screamed unprecedentedly and screamed wildly.

However, not only intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Xi's second foot also fell.

This foot didn't seem to have much strength, but it was just stepping on his lower body.

"Ka!"

In Zhang Lingyun's ears, he seemed to hear the sound of stepping on an egg, and then his body stiffened, and in the next breath, he fainted directly from excessive fear and pain.

Lin Xi didn't even look at him, nor did he stop at all, turned around and walked out of the room.

Because of the movement of his hand with Zhang Lingyun, because of the terrible scream between Zhang Lingyun and his death, this piece of official residence was shocked.

Candles lit in the room, and the guards outside sounded the sound of a gold warning.

Soon, several teams arrived quickly, and at the same time cordoned off the alley and searched it.

But Lin Xi just walked unhurriedly in the dark, as if everything had nothing to do with him, leisurely walking through the courtyards and alleys.

He seems to have become a transparent person.

On several occasions, as soon as he had passed by, the searching sergeant had already arrived, and on several occasions, as soon as the searching sergeant had searched and left, he appeared and passed there.

He walked away from this official mansion without delay, and tore off the black cloth covering his face.

"How come I haven't seen you... Who are you?"

In a brightly lit street, a person rushed in front of Lin Xi, laughed and said this to Lin Xi, and rolled at Lin Xi's feet.

A few people immediately ran out of the shop on the street, helped the person who was rolling on the ground as if he was about to sleep, and expressed his apologies to Lin Xi from time to time.

This is an ordinary drunk who is drunk.

Under the system agreed upon by the emperor and President Zhang, the Yunqin people were open, and there was never a curfew, and there was no restriction on bringing a sword or drinking at night.

Faced with such an ordinary drunk who was drunk with three or five relatives and friends, and didn't even know him, of course Lin Xi didn't need to answer his question, there was no need to answer who he was.

However, when the drunk man was helped away, Lin Xi smiled slightly, and replied softly in a voice that only he could hear: "I am a priest...... In the barracks shrouded in darkness, Li Anting coughed lowly and kept rubbing his temples with his hands.

In the process of encircling and suppressing the painter, his deputy general Mo Qingfeng, who also showed his strong ability to command the army, and several army commanders also sat on the seat under him.

There is no problem with the identity of the pseudonym "Du Siguo" in Zhantai Qiantang, but there is evidence that this should be a small trader in Qiantang Province, but he went to Zhongzhou City, and then went all the way to Qingyuan City. Cultivation and deeds, which do not match their identity, are big problems. For Li Anting and others, the only direct judgment is that the person who killed the painter was a cultivator from an enemy country who replaced Du Siguo's identity.

"My lord, do you want the people of the Criminal Division to start the execution?"

Mo Qingfeng looked at Li Anting, who was in very poor physical and mental condition, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

Li Anting naturally knew that at this moment, when this enemy country cultivator insisted that he was Du Siguo, the most conventional means and procedures were to start using torture to extract confessions.

However, after being silent for a moment and slowly exhaling a breath, Li Anting shook his head and said, "Forget it." ”

"Forget it?"

Mo Qingfeng and several generals were stunned, looking at each other, unable to understand what the word Li Anting meant.

He said that this person's cultivation was too high, and the involvement was very great, so he would be escorted to the provincial capital tomorrow. Li Anting glanced at his generals and sighed: "Naturally, it is impossible to let him go... But he shot for the sake of the three Yunqin children, even if he wanted to be tortured, I was not willing to move the punishment here, let me watch him be tortured. ”

Mo Qingfeng and several generals didn't say much, they just nodded and said, "Obey." ”q
