Chapter 146: Mr. Qin, please spare my life
After saying that, Qin Ziling revealed a strange and sinister sneer on his face amidst the puzzled gazes of everyone, and then he twisted his body strangely, like a snake, and "whoosh" along the ground.
With incredible speed, he jumped in front of Lin Zhengqing's clouded leopard horse in the blink of an eye, then suddenly leaped up from the ground, with his ten fingers together like knives, and slapped him in the chest.
The iron palm slapped the void, stirring up a gust of wind and waves that blew Lin Zhengqing's hair back.
"You!" Lin Zhengqing never expected that an unknown inner court disciple of Dean Hantie would have such skills and courage, and in the blink of an eye he actually came right up to him. His face changed drastically, and his eyes revealed an extremely shocked look.
However, Lin Zhengqing was the captain of the Black Armor Guards after all, and a martial artist with rich practical experience. In a flash, he raised his palms and slapped Qin Ziling who was flying towards him.
The icy energy in his body rushed to his palms like a tide. In an instant, Lin Zhengqing's palms seemed to be covered with a layer of crystal ice. The air around him suddenly became misty when it touched his palms. When his palms slapped forward, a gust of cold wind was blown up, the power was terrifying.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of clapping sounds suddenly rang out in the forest.
The huge and incredible force flowed along his arm and hit Lin Zhengqing's body. Lin Zhengqing could not withstand the terrifying force and fell backwards from his clouded leopard horse. However, Qin Ziling just did a backflip in the air, touched a tree behind him with his feet, and shot towards Lin Zhengqing who was falling backwards like an arrow.
Lin Zhengqing was in mid-air, watching the pair of iron palms getting bigger and bigger in his pupils, his eyes full of disbelief.
But Lin Zhengqing was still very capable. He exerted his strength suddenly, and as he flew backwards, he kept waving his palms in the air, creating numerous palm shadows, trying to block the two palms that were approaching in a blink of an eye.
But the approaching palms were like the triangular head of a poisonous snake, extremely flexible, and they accurately passed through the gaps among the palm shadows.
"Swish!" The sound of a blunt knife scraping flesh rang in Lin Zhengqing's ears like thunder. Then he looked down and saw blood slowly flowing out of his chest along a palm knife.
"How is that possible?" Lin Zhengqing murmured .
"Your brother and third uncle think so too." Qin Ziling said lightly.
"What?" Lin Zhengqing's eyes suddenly widened.
At this moment, Qin Ziling pulled out his knife and blood spurted out.
It is dazzling in the sunlight.
"Bang!" Lin Zhengqing fell heavily to the ground, his eyes bulged out like goldfish, full of fear and unwillingness.
The world was dead silent!
A mountain breeze blew, extremely eerie, and everyone shivered.
"Run away!" A thought flashed through the minds of the five black-armored guards.
However, just as they had this thought, they saw a ghostly figure with a hint of cold light flashing towards them at an incredible speed.
Then, the cold spots in their pupils continued to expand.
Then they felt a chill on their necks, and then they felt themselves suddenly flying.
Flying in the air, they saw their headless bodies spurting blood, and saw the coachman, who was a dead man in their eyes, walking towards Nangong Yue step by step with a bloody sword in his hand.
The sword was the sword carried by all of them, and they didn't even see when it fell into the hands of the coachman.
And then, there was nothing else.
“You, you…” Nangong Yue stepped back repeatedly with a pale face.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Qin Ziling asked with a smile, holding the sword that was dripping blood.
"Qin, Master Qin, please spare me, spare me!" Nangong Yue watched Qin Ziling walking towards him with a smile on his face, drops of blood dripping with his footsteps. He was so scared that he fell to the ground and begged in a trembling voice.
In just a few blinks of an eye, Lin Dutou, a martial arts master in his prime, died, and his four colleagues at the iron level also died!
Nangong Yue still couldn't believe that all this was true. Qin Ziling, whom he had always provoked, ridiculed and despised, turned out to be so powerful and terrifying!
"Don't you know that I have forgiven you many times?" Qin Ziling continued to ask with a smile, but in Nangong Yue's eyes, that was simply a devil's smile, which scared him so much that the urine flowed out of his trouser legs.
"After all, you are a talented disciple from our Hantie Academy. Can't you act a little more tough?" Qin Ziling frowned.
"Uncle Qin, I still have parents to support, please have mercy on me!" Nangong Yue didn't care about all that, but got up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Ziling repeatedly.
"Nangong Yue, be realistic and wake up. Do you think that after what happened today, I will still let you go? At most, I will not bring disaster to your family, and I will not bother with them." Qin Ziling said lightly.
When the Yunlan siblings, who were sitting beside the carriage not far away, heard this, they felt a chill on their backs, and the cold air was climbing up.
Yes, they killed the captain of the Black Armor Guards and five of them. Could this news leak out?
"Sister, sister, you, do you think Mr. Qin will kill us to silence us?" Yuntai said with chattering teeth.
Just now, when facing Lin Dutou and others, he dared to rush forward, stand in front of his sister, and roar at them. But at this moment, Yuntai was so scared that his whole body was horrified and his heart and liver were broken.
There was no way. Qin Ziling's calmness when killing people and his smile after killing them were too great a shock to Yuntai's heart!
"Don't, don't be afraid, he, he is not that kind of person!" Yun Lan forced herself to remain calm, but her trembling and stammering voice revealed that she was actually very scared in her heart and had no confidence at all.
Yes, if they knew this huge secret, would Qin Ziling let them go?
Nangong Yue was not a fool, and finally stopped begging for mercy. Instead, he looked up at the corpses of Lin Dutou and his colleagues lying on the ground, then turned to Qin Ziling and said, "Then please give me a quick death!"
"Don't worry, I can draw my sword very quickly, you won't feel any pain." Qin Ziling comforted him gently.
"Thank you." Nangong Yue slowly closed his eyes.
"However, before I draw my sword, should you explain to me why the young master of the Lin family, the captain of the Black Armor Guard, brought you here? Otherwise, I will have doubts in my mind, and my thoughts will not be clear, so it is inevitable that my sword will not be smooth." Qin Ziling said.
Nangong Yue opened his eyes upon hearing this, looked at Qin Ziling and said with a wry smile: "I am such a fool. I actually looked down on you and laughed at you for being stupid!"
"This is normal. People who are stupid usually think that others are stupid too." Qin Ziling said with understanding.
Nangong Yue was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know why Lin Zhengqing came here. He took us to a place in the back of Sanyuan Mountain and asked us to look after the horses. He went in alone and came back half an hour later."
"Oh!" Qin Ziling showed a hint of surprise when he heard that.
He had made a point of finding out before setting out for Sanyuan Mountain.
Sanyuan Mountain covers a large area. The front mountain is flat, with lush forests and beautiful scenery. There is also a passable mountain road. It is said that the feng shui here is good, so many people in Fangqiao City are buried in Sanyuan Mountain after their death.
If it weren't for the current chaos outside the city, there should be quite a few people coming to climb Sanyuan Mountain at this season, unlike now when there is hardly a single person to be seen.
But the back mountain of Sanyuan Mountain is a completely different scene.
The mountains are steep and rugged, and one can easily fall into the abyss if one is not careful when walking. In addition, there are many poisonous insects, snakes, and wolves in the back mountain. In the past, many people entered the back mountain and never returned. Over time, no one dared to explore the back mountain anymore.
But today, Nangong Yue said that Lin Zhengqing went to the back mountain specifically, which was really a bit strange.
"Could there be some treasure hidden in this back mountain?" Qin Ziling thought secretly, but asked: "Where is the place in the back mountain you mentioned?"
Nangong Yue couldn't tell the specific name, he could only roughly describe the path and the scenery there.
"Go north from here... there is a sharp peak, and there is a deep abyss below. The road is very narrow, and there is a very cold mist. Even my body can't stand it."
"Okay, I get it, you can go!" Qin Ziling nodded, then suddenly swung the sword in his hand, and a thin line of blood appeared on Nangong Yue's neck.
After two or three breaths, Nangong Yue's body fell to the ground with a bang. His corpse was separated and his head rolled along the ground. The Yunlan siblings were terrified and huddled together, not daring to breathe.
Qin Ziling ignored the Yunlan siblings and quickly felt the belts of the five black-armored guards, and got some silver bills and change. Then he walked to the side of Lin Zhengqing, whose body was lying not far away, and squatted down to search him carefully.
Apart from finding a few hundred taels of silver notes on Lin Zhengqing's body, there was nothing else he gained.
"This shouldn't be the case!" Qin Ziling turned his head to look at the clouded leopard horse that was spreading its hooves to run, and jumped up and landed on its saddle.
When the clouded leopard horse saw a stranger sitting on it, it immediately revealed its ferocious and wild nature, raising its hooves high, trying to knock Qin Ziling off its horse.
Seeing this, Qin Ziling punched the horse's head a few times without any hesitation. The clouded leopard horse's head made a loud bang, but it soon became obedient.
Qin Ziling then began to search the horse's body, and soon he found an extremely cold box in a pocket hanging on the side of the saddle.
Qin Ziling took out the box and opened it.
As soon as the box was opened, a familiar, extremely cold breath hit Qin Ziling in the face, stimulating him so much that his face, which had been polished and tempered to be very thick, felt a little pain.
This extremely cold and gloomy air was a black bead, about the size of a pigeon egg, surrounded by thick black fog and evil spirit.
